“It seems your test went really well.”

In the hotel, Zhou Tianhao took the Flame Heart Badge that Qin Lang had just received from his hand, took a good look at it, returned it to Qin Lang with a smile, and then casually asked, “Did Mr. Lu Dong give you any pointers on fire­type combat skills?”

“Yes.” Qin Lang carefully put away the Flame Heart Badge, smiled, “Mr. Lu Dong taught me a secret method called Flame Absorption.”

“Huh?” Zhou Tianhao’s expression tightened slightly, “The reward is a secret method?”

“What’s a secret method?” Shen Qian, who didn’t know much about the training path, leaned lazily on the sofa and asked.

She had been shopping with Zhou Tianhao all afternoon and her legs were somewhat sore. She talked while swinging her white legs.

“A secret method is a special power that can be understood and controlled by the Food Spirit.” Zhou Tianhao explained casually.

“Right, brother Zhou.” Hearing Zhou Tianhao’s explanation, Qin Lang suddenly thought of something, “You seem to have never mentioned the secret method to me before?”

“I thought you wouldn’t come across it for now.” Zhou Tianhao scratched his head, “At this stage, mastering combined battle skills is the best way to improve your strength, so I didn’t plan to tell you about the secret methods, to avoid distracting you.”

“Of course, mastering secret methods is also a good supplement and can also enhance your strength.” Zhou Tianhao added.

“Then, big brother Zhou, do you also have secret methods?” Qin Lang asked curiously.

“Yes.” Zhou Tianhao nodded, “To make the Food Spirit more well-rounded, I have also tried to make them understand and master some secret methods.”

“But to chew what one has bitten off, I let each of them comprehend only one.”

“For example, the secret method Jiela comprehended is called Dark Eyes, which can give her stronger insight in the dark.” Zhou Tianhao looked a little helpless, “At that time, she hadn’t awakened Dark Curtain Watch yet. I didn’t expect that the combat skill she awakened later would be a repetition.”

“Of course, there are differences between the two. Dark Eyes has a farther range of insight and is a single-direction perception. The range of Dark Curtain Watch is a bit shorter, but it is a range perception.”

“Besides, the secret methods mastered by the other three Food Spirits are…” Zhou Tianhao frankly told Qin Lang and Shen Qian about the secret methods mastered by the four Food Spirits, and finally summarized:

“These secret methods are indeed effective, but compared to combined battle skills, they can only serve as auxiliary and only work in certain specific environments.”

“I’ve learned a lot.” Qin Lang smiled.

Knowing four new secret methods was an interesting process for him.

Unfortunately, among these four secret methods, none of them could be learned by Dan Bao and Spicy.

Although Lark, which also mastered Thought Waves and Instant Teleportation, had a secret method, it was related to another combat skill.

“Alright, alright, it’s time for dinner.” Shen Qian, leaning on the armrest, interrupted the two men’s chat and patted her stomach, “I’m starving.”

As for the knowledge related to the secret method, Shen Qian just listened for the fun of it.

“Didn’t you eat a lot of local snacks in the afternoon?” Zhou Tianhao looked at Shen Qian with a strange expression.

“You don’t understand, girls have three stomachs, one of them just for snacks, and eating food is another stomach. They don’t affect each other.” Shen Qian smiled and said.

“So what’s the other one for?” Qin Lang, who had come to his senses, heard this, found it quite interesting and asked with a smile.

“Of course it’s for desserts!” Shen Qian answered as a matter of course.

“Alright.” Qin Lang was dumbfounded, “Let me prepare dinner, I’ll cooka new dish and show you.”

“Yes!” Shen Qian immediately got energetic, her originally languid expression suddenly became eager.

Zhou Tianhao, who was standing aside, might not be as zealous as her, but the expectation was clearly visible on his face.

Similarly, the three people’s Food Spirits were also looking forward to it.

There will be delicious food!

“Don’t rush, before that, we have to deal with the wild mustard greens we brought back earlier.” Qin Lang smiled and walked into the kitchen.

The three of them had purposely picked up tens of kilograms of mustard greens from the area where they had previously found wild mustard greens growing when they left the forest.

These mustard greens were enough to make pickled mustard for a long time.

These mustard greens had previously been casually placed in the corner of the kitchen and now, only after Qin Lang had received the Flame Heart Badge, did he have the time to deal with them.

After being picked for nearly half a day, the leaves of the mustard greens had visibly wilted, and this scene seemed particularly harsh in Dan Bao’s eyes.

“Gulu?”

Do I need to use Fresh Full?

“No, no.” Qin Lang quickly stopped Dan Bao, “The first step in processing mustard greens is to dry them out, there’s no need for Fresh Full.”

Dan Bao stepped back thoughtfully and quietly watched Qin Lang’s actions.

Shen Qian and Zhou Tianhao also entered the kitchen, obviously curious about how Qin Lang was going to process these mustard greens. Hearing that Qin Lang was going to dry them out, both were excited and said, “Let us help, what should we do?”

“I checked the weather forecast and the weather in Lanqiu City will be sunny for the next three days, which is suitable for drying mustard greens. We just need to wash these mustard greens and hang them somewhere where they can be sun-dried.” Qin Lang said casually.

“Puh!” Shen Qian suddenly pointed at Qin Lang and laughed.

“What’s wrong?” Qin Lang asked in confusion.

” ‘Sunny’ ,it’s a pun.” Shen Qian chuckled and rolled up her sleeves to help wash the mustard greens.

“Indeed, I didn’t realize it until you mentioned it.” Qin Lang shook his head and laughed.

The three of them started to busy themselves while chatting and laughing. Soon, they had carefully washed the tens of kilograms of mustard greens.

“Now all we have to do is dry them.”

“There are spare hangers on the balcony, how about using them?”

“Sure!” Qin Lang nodded.

The three of them were very efficient. In a short while, the mustard greens were separated, hung, and dried on the balcony of the hotel room.

At a glance, the mustard greens were verdant and seemed to be a green curtain hanging on the hangers.

“It looks pretty good.” Shen Qian admired her masterpiece with her hands on her hips.

“And being dried indoors means less dust.” Zhou Tianhao added with a smile, then turned to Qin Lang, “Does it need to be dried like this for a few days?”

“Dry it until it’s completely dehydrated. If the weather is good, it should be done in about three days.” Qin Lang estimated, “Just the day before the Youth Training Competition.”

“Speaking of which, didn’t you sign up for the Youth Training Competition after getting the Flame Heart Badge?” Hearing Qin Lang mention the “Youth Training Competition,” Zhou Tianhao suddenly remembered.

“There’s plenty of time, I’ll sign up tomorrow.” Qin Lang stretched lazily, turned, and walked towards the kitchen, “Coming up next, I’ll show you guys!”

The topic was successfully shifted.

“So what delicious food are you going to make exactly? Can you reveal it in advance?” Shen Qian quickly followed Qin Lang.

“Hmm…” Qin Lang paused, “Alright, let me give you a hint.”

“This dish is called Braised Sea Cucumber with Scallions.”
