Chapter 5 Cooking Skills

After explaining some things about his membership in Breezy Hotel, Lillian led Tristan into Private Room No.1-the most luxurious private room.

Then she handed him the menu and waited next to him.

Tristan flipped through the menu and ordered every food he liked. In the end, he unconsciously ordered all the expensive dishes of the hotel.

Soon, some waiters entered his private room with food trolleys. They started to arrange all kinds of delicate dishes on his table. There were lobsters, abalones, king crabs, Beef Wellington, goose liver, Spanish ham, and a lot more.

Just looking at these dishes would make someone drool. Tristan suddenly felt hungry when he saw the feast on the table.

He picked up a piece of lobster meat and put it into his mouth. The rich taste immediately filled his mouth and tickled his taste buds, making him want more. Indeed, these dishes were all appetizing.

This was Tristan's first time eating these kinds of dishes. He smiled happily, looking satisfied.

At this moment, the system sounded in his head.

"The delicious food has made you happy. Congratulations on triggering the hidden achievement successfully. This is called Endless Aftertastes. You are rewarded with Bronze-level Cooking Skills. And since you have spent one million dollars, you've successfully completed this task. The system will reward you with one point.

System prompt! This skill can be upgraded. Would you like to open the system interface and choose to upgrade?"

Tristan didn't react immediately. He was stunned when he heard the system's words.

It turned out that the system would reward him with one point for every one million dollars he spent.

The system asked him if he would like to open the system interface. But how could he do it?

Suddenly, he remembered his ring. He touched it tentatively. And much to his surprise, an interface appeared in front of him.

Host: Tristan

Skill: Bronze-level Cooking Skills

System points: 1

Next to the "Skill" tab, Tristan saw a red button with the label "Upgrade."

Below the red button was a prompt box with a "Yes" option. His eyes were fixed on this word for a while.

Then the system sounded again, "Ding! Your skill has been upgraded successfully. Congratulations! You've now obtained Bronze-level 1 Cooking Skills."

After the system notification sounded, the information about all kinds of delicious and exquisite dishes instantly appeared in Tristan's head.

Not only that. He also found that his sense of smell and taste had greatly improved. He could now clearly identify the tastes he couldn't even sense before.

"Mr. Stanfield, all the dishes you ordered have been served. Is there anything else you need?" Lillian said respectfully.

Her voice brought Tristan back to his senses. He smiled and said, "No, nothing else. But... How about you join me for the meal?"

He ordered too many dishes, and he felt it would be a waste if he couldn't finish them all. So he simply invited Lillian to join him.

Now that money was no longer a problem to him, Tristan felt he was freed from an invisible shackle. His body and mind were relieved, and he was more relaxed. He was no longer restrained.

What was more, he realized that money gave people confidence. If this was in the past, he would be very nervous to invite a beautiful woman like Lillian to dine together. He would definitely blush, and his heart would beat abnormally fast. But now, he acted very casually in front of her.

And most importantly, it would be difficult for him to get in touch with such a beautiful woman if he didn't have money.

Lillian hesitated for a moment. Then she said, "But it's still my working time."

"I think it's okay. No one will know you're eating with me. Didn't you say this is a private room for a super VIP? That means nobody can come in if I don't let them, right?" Tristan countered.

"Well... Thank you then, Mr. Stanfield."

After accepting Tristan's invitation, Lillian gracefully sat next to him.

Since Tristan's sense of smell had greatly improved, and the distance between them was very close, he could clearly smell the faint fragrance from her body. It was pleasantly intoxicating.

Lillian took the initiative to start a conversation. "Mr. Stanfield, I hope you don't mind me asking. Are you a student? You look very young."

As she spoke, she looked at Tristan's handsome face expectantly, waiting for his answer.

"Yeah, you've guessed it right. I'm a freshman at Singve University," Tristan replied with a smile.

"Really? You go to Singve University?" Lillian asked in surprise, raising her eyebrows. "I went to Singve University too. I took up Economics and Management."

"Oh, you are a graduate of Economics and Management? Then why do you work in a hotel?" Tristan's curiosity was piqued.

"Oh, no. I'm currently an intern at an investment bank. I only work part-time here."

Tristan and Lillian talked about many things. Lillian found that Tristan was actually talkative. He was easy to talk with, so she felt at ease.

After the meal, she took the initiative to ask, "What can you say about the dishes, Mr. Stanfield? Do you like them?"

Tristan now had the support of the system. Moreover, he obtained Bronze-level 1 Cooking Skills. So his cooking skills were already superior to those Michelin star chefs. With this, he could almost make the most professional comments on the dishes.

"Actually, I don't think the chefs in this hotel are very good. Some dishes were not even cooked properly," he commented.

But as soon as he finished his words, they heard a loud bang. It turned out that the door of the private room was kicked open.

Kevin suddenly appeared with a man who looked like a chef beside him. He pointed at Tristan arrogantly and said, "Uncle, that's him! He is a fraud."
