I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Ning Yuantai cleared his throat.

“Xue is a peerless individual, whose abilities and talents are enough to astonish the world. If his deeds were made public, all of your families would be holding ancestor worship ceremonies in gratitude by now. You should appreciate your good fortune and not be unaware of the blessings you’re living in…”

The small group listened to Ning Yuantai’s words with odd expressions, “Uh… Oh.”

Hearing him talk like that made it seem as though Mr. Xue was a wildly fierce and cool person… but somehow, it didn’t feel real.

“Yuantai, stop blabbering and come help.”

Xue Jing’s calm voice wasn’t loud, but it clearly traveled through the noisy cafeteria to where they were.

Hearing this, Ning Yuantai immediately responded and scurried to the kitchen.

Leaving Chen Xingyan, He Han, and others exchanging glances.

…

About half an hour later.

Dozens to hundreds of dishes on large plates were ceaselessly carried out from the kitchen by Ning Yuantai and other helping students, placed on the cafeteria’s dining tables.

Soon, the cafeteria looked like a Hogwarts start-of-term feast, with rows of long tables filled with people and a lavish banquet.

The whole cafeteria sparkled in an instant.

All the light came from— the dishes.

Inside the kitchen, Xue Jing held a clean cloth, gently wiping a kitchen knife in his hand.

[GOD-1461·Star-pointing Knife].

The beautiful blade, twinkling with tiny lights, was extremely sharp—able to chop through bone without a hitch.

As one of the legendary ten culinary tools, it endowed cut food with a glowing effect that significantly increased one’s appetite.

Color, fragrance, and taste were the three major aspects of judging a dish.

Color refers to whether the appearance is appealing enough to induce appetite.

When someone is hungry and has an appetite, it greatly enhances the deliciousness of the food consumed. The Star-pointing Knife was a tool that could maximize this appetite stimulation.

Coupled with the Level 8 Cooking skills Xue Jing had achieved a few days ago…

Clang, bang, clatter—

Suddenly, the cafeteria erupted with chaotic sounds, similar to a battlefield.

The students, already ravenous from the practical tests with Xue Jing, had been teetering on the edge of losing their sanity due to the enticing aromas during the cooking process.

And when dish after dish, complete with enticing appearance, aroma, and twinkling lights, was served…

Unsurprisingly, everyone went berserk.

“MMM— (sounds of crazily stuffing food)”

“That damn chicken leg is mine!”

“Stop fighting, for fuck’s sake, stop fighting, Mr. Xue hasn’t eaten yet!”

“… (tears) I now completely understand, I was born in this world just to eat this bite.”

Xue Jing, wiping his washed hands, walked out from the kitchen backstage to the cafeteria and looked at the chaotic scene before him.

It was as if the concept of ‘hunger’ materialized into a monster, with all the students desperately cramming everything in front of them into their mouths, the desire in their eyes almost materializing into visible red light.

He Han, in the midst of eating, roared and grabbed his shirt, ripping it apart, revealing his muscular physique.

“Ah!!”

“What are you doing?”

“Eating the Supreme Dragon Chef’s glowing cuisine, bursting clothes is the basic etiquette!”

“… Your sister is gone.”

He Han then came to his senses, stared at the torn shirt scattered around, and screamed while covering his head, “Ah! My clothes!!”

Cao Sini, with one hand on each side, blocked students from reaching the dishes in front of her, her beautiful face and sharp, narrow eyes filled with ferocity, fiercely guarding her meals.

Chen Xingyan grabbed a few plates from beside him, keeping two for himself and placing three in front of Ye Jingqiu.

“Jingqiu, eat quickly.”

“Thank you, Xingyan,” Ye Jingqiu said with a sweet smile.

Watching the students display their ugly side in their desire to possess more food, Xue Jing chuckled:

“They really are malnourished.”

Ning Yuantai, holding a large plate of sweet and sour pork, walked to Xue Jing’s side while eating, his voice muffled by the meat,

“I don’t think it’s about nutrition, Xue…”

Jingqiu just then noticed Xue Jing and her eyes instantly lit up as she stood up and waved, shouting:

“Teacher, Mr. Xue, over here, over here!”

Seeing this, Xue Jing dodged the incoming flying weapons along the way and slowly made his way to Jingqiu, smiling as he said:

“So, how is the taste?”

With admiration all over her face, Jingqiu replied: “It’s so delicious, Mr. Xue, how can you be so incredible!”

“I’ve never eaten anything this delicious before, just thinking that I might not be able to eat it again makes me want to cry.”

Xue Jing chuckled, “You’re exaggerating too much.”

Jingqiu pouted playfully, “I’m telling the truth!”

“Mr. Xue, you haven’t eaten yet, right? I saved some dishes for you, come sit down and eat…”

She patted the seat beside her, a hopeful look on her face.

Beside her, Chen Xingyan: “…”

Xue Jing reached out and gently touched the head of this dutiful student, speaking softly:

“No need, you eat, if teacher wants to eat, he can make it himself.”

Feeling the warmth from the palm above her head, Jingqiu’s face flushed with a racing heartbeat, and she quickly lowered her head, shyly saying:

“Okay… okay.”

He Han picked a large bunch of green vegetables with his chopsticks and put them into Chen Xingyan’s bowl, sympathetically adding:

“Here, Brother Li Zheng, eat more vegetables, it’s good for your health.”

Chen Xingyan glared at him irritably.

“What are you misunderstanding? This was all planned, Jingqiu told me yesterday she needed to build a good relationship with Mr. Xue, so it would be easier to find his weaknesses and flaws…”

He Han continued to serve him vegetables, nonchalantly replying:

“Yeah, yeah, I understand, have some more.”

Chen Xingyan: “…”

…

After a whirlwind of eating, within just about ten minutes, the dozens of dishes laid out on several long tables were wiped clean.

Completely clean, without even a drop of sauce left.

Those who knew understood it was the work of dozens of students, those who didn’t might think it was done by dozens of dishwashers.

All the students appeared to be stuffed, bellies visibly bloated, but their expressions were unanimously craving more, seemingly endless relish.

Xue Jing stood by the serving window, clapped his hands to draw all the students’ attention, then announced:

“Everyone gets a one-hour break, remember to wash and tidy up your bowls, cutlery, and the tables in front of you, and sweep the floor, got it?”

Everyone instantly sat up straight, unanimously responding loudly: “Yes, teacher!”

Xue Jing nodded with a smile: “Very good.”

He turned and left the cafeteria while the students started to clean up, chatting among themselves.

“Man, Mr. Xue is too awesome, not only does he look good and have high combat power, but how can he also cook so deliciously?”

“This is the first time I’ve seen glowing food in real life, so exaggerated…”

“In the end, which damn lucky person will get to marry Mr. Xue, I’m so jealous!”

“Mr. Xue couldn’t have drugged the food, could he? I feel addicted! I absolutely can’t eat anymore, but just thinking about the taste makes me drool…”

“My stomach has practically turned into Mr. Xue’s shape, what should I do…”

“If I can’t taste this ever again, what’s the point of living, I might as well restart.”

“I could endure darkness, if I had never seen sunlight, sigh.”

As they chatted, some of the students began to sigh in dismay.

He Han retorted, “The training isn’t over yet, it still has three days, just beg Mr. Xue to cook for us every day, then you can ‘rest in peace’ after three days, okay?”

A hint of blush appeared on Jingqiu’s beautiful face as she pondered dreamily, “Three days later, we can still spend seven days with Mr. Xue at Intersecting Boundaries…”

Chen Xingyan asked curiously, “But we can’t eat Mr. Xue’s cooking at Intersecting Boundaries, right?”

He Han patted his shoulder, not saying a word.
