Chen Qi looked at the expectant crowd before him.


    Why had things turned out this way? Why were they so idle?


    You see, being a chef was just a disguise for his Hunter profession!


    If this went on, he was afraid he would actually be one of Moonstone City''s famous five-star chefs.


    But judging by their excited expressions, they had waited for him for a full hour in this ce.


    And that didn''t even include the time they spent contacting their connections to find him.


    It was hard to refuse.


    Oh well, might as wellplete a career task.


    There were ten people who hade specifically for a meal, and the small houseboat simply could not amodate so many people.


    Chen Qi thought about it, moored the small houseboat in a less crowded corner, then found some wooden chairs and tables and set up a small street food stall.


    "Ladies and gentlemen, today we only have fish, no other dishes."


    Chen Qi said.


    It was a good opportunity to handle all the Moonlight Fish he had caughtst night and make a decent amount of money.


    "You only offer fish, no other dishes? Is this how you run a business?"


    A clothing store owner in a id shirt said.


    "Sorry everyone, we don''t have many ingredients left, but today we have freshly caught Moonlight Fish."


    Chen Qi shook his head.


    If he offered a full menu and kept the shop running all day, he really would be a professional chef.


    Just opening the shop asionally and cooking some dishes was enough.


    The customers looked puzzled, but then thought to themselves.


    Could it be that this chef is the legendary type who seeks quality over quantity?


    Moreover, Moonlight Fish is not amon dish, but a real high-end dish! It greatly challenges a Transcendent Chef to enhance the natural vor of the meat!


    This kind of chef truly deserved Pelu''s rmendation!


    Chen Qi went into the boat house and ced the Moonlight Fish on the chopping board.


    The flesh of Moonlight Fish was delicious. To preserve the original vor of the meat, steaming was a quite good method.


    He peeled off the unusable luminescent cells on the fish''s skin, then removed the blood clots, innards, and other impurities.


    Then he washed and cut the spring onions into sections, sliced the ginger, and sprinkled some seasoning to marinate.


    Finally, he steamed the fish, seasoned it, drizzled oil, andstly, sprinkled some Soul Seasoning and a bit of spring onion on top, then served it.


    In no time at all, a beautifully fragrant steamed Moonlight Fish was ready!


    [You have cooked Steamed Moonlight Fish, earning 100 Spiritual Points.]


    100 Spiritual Points...


    That was higher than the previous record of 80 Spiritual Points!


    The Spiritual Points provided by Transcendent ingredients were higher than those from ordinary food.


    Chen Qi pped his hands and served the Steamed Moonlight Fish to the eagerly waiting customers outside.


    As a high-end rare ingredient, even without any processing, Moonlight Fish could sell for fifteen hundred Shell Coins.


    So, Chen Qi quadrupled the price:


    "Six thousand Shell Coins per serving."


    Six thousand Shell Coins!


    Everyone was surprised.


    That''s too cheap!


    "Boss, do you really do business this way..."


    It was their first time seeing Moonlight Fish sold so cheaply.


    Indeed, as Pelu the reporter said, although this small shop had a simple environment, it was really affordable!


    Chen Qi raised an eyebrow.


    Even with the price quadrupled, they still found it cheap.


    The price of Transcendent ingredients after cooking was more outrageous than he had imagined.


    Ten fish would be sixty thousand Shell Coins!


    Chen Qi wasn''t relying on being a chef to make money.


    After all, cooking was just a hobby, and being a Hunter was his main job.


    But this ie was quite decent.


    After serving the outside customers, Chen Qi went back inside the boat house and ced two servings of Moonlight Fish on the table.


    The newspaper stand old man didn''t sit at the small outside stall, but inside the boat house.


    The newspaper stand old man was a devoted fan of Moonlight Fish. Every season, he had to have a meal of Moonlight Fish.


    Of course, besides wanting to taste the delicious Moonlight Fish, he also had some information to share with Chen Qi.


    "Really delicious..."


    The newspaper stand old man cut a small piece of fish meat with his fork, ced it in his mouth, and savored it carefully.


    "Ah~ This preserved the original vor of the meat!


    Boss, you really did a great job!"


    Soul Seasoning and Transcendent cooking greatly enhanced the natural taste of the Moonlight Fish.


    Outside the boat house, praises could also be heard!


    "Delicious, and so cheap! I told you, Pelu only speaks the truth!"


    "Although the presentation could be better, it certainly enhanced the vor of the Moonlight Fish. With some wine, it would be perfect."


    "And, it seems to have sessfully unlocked some Extraordinary Power."


    "Really, such a dedicated chef, and yet he has been targeted by the ck Rabbit Gang."


    Damn it, the online store''s reviews shouldn''t be so bad... Chen Qi smiled, and also tried a piece.


    [You have consumed Moonlight Fish, gaining an inspiration boost (medium), sensory enhancement,sting approximately twelve hours.]


    Inspiration enhanced, along with sensory improvement.


    Chen Qi felt the sensations in his body.


    Moonlight Fish was a Transcendent ingredient, and coupled with Chef Skills, it could yield some unexpected effects.


    Watching the newspaper stand old man devouring big chunks of meat, Chen Qi steered the conversation back to the main topic:


    "Boss, about that police matter, do you know anything?"


    Chen Qi was still somewhat worried.


    This gang clearly wouldn''t let him off easily.


    Moreover, as expected, they were connected to the ck Whale Group.


    That is to say, they were rted to the ck-eyed Captain of the Sawshark.


    With his current strength, he was good enough to take on ordinary gang members, but he was nowhere near ready to confront the ck-eyed Captain.


    However, he was now dressed in Hunter attire, his body had developed muscles, and he had shed the disheveled look he had when he first entered this world.


    The overall demeanor had changed, making it not easy to recognize him.


    And judging by the reaction of the ck Rabbit Gang, they clearly had no idea that he was connected with the treasure of the Deep Sea Hunter.
