Chapter 121 System, upgrade!
"System, upgrade my home-cooked noodles to the state banquet level!"

[Ding, Homemade Noodles (Chef Level 81+) has been upgraded successfully after spending 29 experience points. Congratulations to the host for mastering Homemade Noodles (State Banquet Level 100+). ]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for mastering the first state-banquet-level dish. The system has been upgraded for the first time! ]

【Ding, system upgrade successful! 】

"The system has actually been upgraded?"

This was something Wang Jianye did not expect.

He thought the system was like this and would never change.

"Open the personal panel and let me see what functions have been upgraded."

[Experience value: 235 (can be used to improve the level of dishes)]

[Recipe: 5 (can be used to learn a dish that the host has not yet mastered)]

[Cooking skills: state banquet level (1 dish), master chef level (0 dish), first chef level (13 dishes), second chef level (26 dishes)...]

[Special effects that can be triggered by state banquet-level dishes: add one day to lifespan (0.01 probability of triggering), one point to IQ (0.01 probability of triggering), one pound to strength (0.01 probability of triggering), and one minute to concentration time (0.01 probability of triggering)]

[The probability of triggering special effects can be increased: 1 time (can increase the probability of triggering by 0.01)]

[Note: The special effect bonus will not exceed the normal human limit. The current human limit is: lifespan 130 years, IQ 150 points, strength 800 kilograms, concentration time 12 hours.]

[Note: The state banquet-level dishes made by the host will have a chance to carry special effects. Every time the host's dish is upgraded to the state banquet level, the probability of triggering the special effect will be increased once.]

[Note: People who eat dishes with special effects can get a special bonus once.]

[Note: The next upgrade condition of this system: the probability of at least one special effect of a state banquet-level dish is increased to 1 (% trigger)]

"This……"

Wang Jianye widened his eyes in disbelief.

He never thought that after he upgraded a dish to the state banquet level, it would have a chance to have special effects.

"Increase lifespan, increase IQ, increase strength, increase concentration time... When the dishes I cook are of state banquet quality, there is a 1% chance that the dish will have these effects."

"Whoever eats this dish with special bonuses will get these bonuses! Whether it's me or someone else, we can all get the bonuses!"

"Although there is an upper limit, the maximum lifespan is 130 years, but this is also good. After all, it can extend a person's lifespan."

Wang Jianye was a little excited.

I never thought that one day, people who eat my food might actually live longer!

Among these effects, the [Increase lifespan by one day] effect is the most important.

"Every time I raise the quality of a dish to state banquet level, I can increase the probability of triggering the [Increase Lifespan by One Day] effect by 1%."

"If I want to raise the effect of [Increase Lifespan by One Day] to 100%, I need to master 100 state banquet-level dishes. I have already mastered one, and I still need 99."

"Experience!"

"I need a lot of experience points!"

Wang Jianye took a deep breath.

Just imagine that in the future, every state-banquet-level dish he makes will 100% extend people’s lifespan by one day after eating it.

Then he would cook at home every day.

His mother, himself, his brothers and sisters, and in the future his wife and children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren... can all live to the maximum human lifespan, which is 130 years old.

Wow, a long-lived family.

Wang Jianye is 110 years old this year and can live another years!
The year is now 1952. If he can live to the end of his life span, then he can live to... 2062.

We can all see that Chinese-branded mobile phones are coming out. I will buy one no matter how much money it costs.

In order to prolong his life, Wang Jianye is full of motivation.

Currently he gains experience points in two ways.

One is to get it by cooking, but the upper limit is too low. He can only get about 50 experience points by working hard every day. The other is to get it by his apprentice practicing cooking. After he accepted Chen Xiaoyang as his apprentice, Chen Xiaoyang could provide him with about 20 experience points every day.

This is a significantly better way to gain experience points.

"I need to take in a few more apprentices."

Wang Jianye made up his mind.

After he successfully became Master Luo's apprentice and obtained Master Luo's old yeast, he asked Zhou Qingde to help him find a few more suitable apprentices and arrange them to be apprentices in Fengze Garden.

In this way, he can gain a large amount of experience points through the practice of his apprentices, so that he can master 100 state banquet-level dishes one day earlier and increase the effect of [Increase lifespan by one day] to 100% triggering.

……

Come back to your senses.

Wang Jianye couldn't wait to prepare another home-cooked noodle dish of state banquet quality.

"Master Wang, why are you still doing it? I feel that the level of the homemade noodles you made before was already the best... Could it be that you have a new understanding? Can you do better?"

Li Hai widened his eyes and couldn't help asking.

Wang Jianye smiled and nodded: "I do have some new ideas. Besides, how can we say that the dishes or pasta made by our chefs are of the highest level? You have to know that there are always people better than you."

Li Hai's breathing stagnated. He originally thought that Wang Jianye had already reached his limit, but he didn't expect that he could still improve further.

"Then Master Wang, can I learn from you?"

"If you want to learn, I'll teach you."

Wang Jianye smiled and then began to make the first dish of home-cooked noodles of state banquet quality.

Li Hai stood beside him, watching every process carefully, wondering which step could be improved.

Wang Jianye did not hide his knowledge and explained it to him during the process.

"So it can be done this way..."

Li Hai's eyes were opened, he finally saw it, and looked at Wang Jianye with admiration.

Seeing Li Hai's admiring expression, Zhou Qingde knew that he was right to ask his leader to increase Wang Jianye's salary and benefits.

Soon, Wang Jianye made a home-cooked noodle dish of state banquet quality.

[Ding, experience value +1]

"The level of the product this time is state banquet grade, but no special effects are triggered? That's right, after all, the probability of triggering these special effects is only 1%, so it's not that easy to trigger them."

Wang Jianye thought to himself.

Take the noodles out of the pot.

In order to avoid waste, he didn't make much noodles, just one bowl in total, and there was still some soup left in the pot.

"smell good."

Li Hai smelled the fragrance and couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and start eating.

Zhou Qingde saw that Li Hai was only busy eating and didn't even have time to say a word, so he couldn't help but ask: "Master Li, what do you think of what Master Wang made?"

“Mmm…delicious…”

Li Hai tilted the bowl upside down and shoveled the food into his mouth.

Seeing him eating like this, Zhou Qingde, who was not hungry at first, couldn't help but feel greedy, "Master Li, please leave some for me, so I can have a taste of it too."

"Go! Go! Go."

Faced with the state banquet-level food, Li Haicai didn't care that Zhou Qingde was his leader and simply turned his back on him.

Seeing that he was about to swallow the bowl, Zhou Qingde no longer hoped that he would leave any for him. Instead, he picked up the rice spoon and scooped a spoonful of the soup at the bottom of the pot to taste it.

After tasting it, Zhou Qingde widened his eyes and looked at Wang Jianye in disbelief and said, "Master Wang, how come this is so delicious?!"
