BXBX NOVEL Chapter 423 Grinding Some Levels By Cooking
-----
They\'re bound by something like a contract? Well that would explain it… But just when I thought I was beginning to figure things out, something even more complicated shows up! Agh, this is really getting into my head. I should just relax and go cook and farm for a while instead.
"I get it… I hope that one day, whoever might be behind this could tell me more. But for now I should leave! It was nice talking to you all." I said with a smile.
"I am glad you\'ve not gotten angered at us…" Sighed Gaia.
"It\'s not something we can tell you, sorry, Planta." Nyx sighed.
"Shoo for now, we are already quite busy." The God of Fire went back to his mean personality.
"If there\'s something very important you want to ask us, feel free to call us through your powers as a Divinely Protected of Gaia." Said the God of Creation. "Until then, farewell, Planta."
FLAAASH!
And like that, my vision changed and I was once more back to the now peaceful Forest of Beginnings. I noticed the Guide Spirit had not talked through the entire ordeal, he was probably too nervous.
"Y-You really went overboard there! You shouldn\'t had asked so many questions!" He angrily said. "What if my creators got angered?!"
"A-Ah… Well, as someone that has been given so many privileges already I thought I could talk with them a bit more." I sighed. "Guess I got a bit too cocky there."
"Indeed, what they cannot tell you might also involve the whole world." The Great Spirit said. "I have no idea myself who Gaia was referring to either, but everything is quite suspicious as well. One of my primary questions is… how was the world restored after its destruction by the hands of the Seventh Demon King? Why are certain parts of history repeating such as the Demon Kings, or most of the population being revived, but at the same time some aren\'t and seem distant and of the past?"
"Also the Demon Kings supposedly awakened between long spans of thousands of years, no? But as World Bosses, they\'re spawning really quickly…" I sighed. "This might also mean that ancient eras are all combined in this world, and that might also mean that tons of different people from various eras are living together simultaneously."
"Hoh! You\'re really quite observant!" Said the Great Spirit. "Indeed! I am just as curious as you!"
"Well, we can\'t do anything about this for now. Let\'s slowly find out more clues on our own then. If the gods can\'t tell us, then we\'ll find the answers ourselves." I steeled myself with confidence.
"Heh, alright then, partner!" Said the Great Spirit, sitting over the top of the head of my Yggdrasil Avatar which popped out of the soil near the giant tree.
"For now, however… I want to make some food and eat with everyone else! I spent all my Community Points though, so I dot know if I could even use them to get anything for now, sadly…" I sighed.
"Yeah your daughter really forced you." Sighed the Great Spirit.
"No matter! I can always get more over time." I nodded.
I walked back to the Village, as I found Rita and Lily preparing food. Thanks to my Food Spirits help, it seemed to count as if I also helped them make it myself!

Wow, this would be easy to abuse to level up while I\'m not logged in!
…If it wasn\'t because it doesn\'t work. Spirits won\'t give me anything if I am logged off for some reason.
But well, whatever weird logic is behind this, it\'s nice I got EXP by doing nothing!
"Hey, you\'re finally back!" Rita called me from afar. "Come join us girl! We\'ve made a big feast to celebrate the guild creation!"
"I\'ve made lots of pies using the fruits of your tree, they\'re amazingly sweet!" Lily said.
"I-I also made some skewered fish I caught myself." Mark said slightly timidly.
"Ooh, you also cooked Titan? Amazing! Everything looks yummy! But I can\'t join you guys yet." I sighed, as I reached the large table with everyone in the village and my many friends eating.
"Eh? Why?!" Asked Rita angered.
"Cuz I\'ve gotta cook something myself as well!" I said, quickly bringing out of my Inventory piles of Drakon meat, which I\'ve purified beforehand from Miasma and was now beautiful and red. "I also want to eat some roasted meat, and nothing better than some new meat we\'ve not eaten before."
"Ooh, is that dragon meat?!" Acorn freaked out. "Amazing!"
"This is… The Drakon meat?" Asked Titania. "Wasn\'t it infected?"
"Nah, I\'ve purified it! So let\'s make some tasty meals out of this." I said with a smile, quickly summoning dozens of more Cooking Spirits alongside vines and branches with hands out of the ground, serving as more hands for me to move and prepare many things.
I minced the meat and combined it with chopped onions, carrots, and garlic alongside some salt and other spices, making beautiful Drakon patties I started grilling with Titan\'s flames. Then I also cut thin slices and started frying them on a pan with goat milk butter and a few other ingredients, making delicious filets! And lastly, I also used the grounded meat to make some meat pie using the leftover dough from Lily\'s pies.

"Uwaaah! It\'s so good!" Florie enjoyed a steak happily.
"I\'ve missed Planta\'s cooking!" Acorn was devouring a cheeseburger.
"Didn\'t she cooked for us yesterday?" Wondered Nieve.
"I never thought Drakon Meat could be this good!" Even Titania was indulging into the good yet greasy food.
"I hope everyone can enjoy! I\'ve made enough for everyone and more!" I said, serving everyone and then joining with my friends to eat as much as I wanted.
One of the various perks of this world\'s body was that I could eat as much as I wanted without growing fatter, so I made sure to eat to my heart\'s content! Oh, and the food my friends made was also so tasty~ I guess everyone\'s developing a talent for cooking.
