Translator: CinderTL
Job successfully acquired. Current class: Chef.
Attribute bonus gained: Strength +1, Agility +1.
Before the golden subtitles had fully solidified, a warm current surged through Roland's body.
However, this negligible attribute boost paled in comparison to his current base stats, making the change almost imperceptible.
Still, Roland hadn't chosen these basic classes for such minor attribute gains.
He exhaled softly and quickly shifted his gaze downward.
Trait acquired: Universal Harmony.
Universal Harmony: During cooking, this trait can transform unstable or harmful energies within ingredients (such as trace toxins or chaotic mana) into harmless or beneficial energies (weak healing, temporary attribute boosts), enhancing the safety and efficacy of the final dish.
"A useful trait," Roland murmured, nodding slightly after carefully reading the description.
"With this, any ingredient, no matter how toxic, can be rendered edible through my cooking. In fact, the more harmful substances an ingredient contains, the more potent the benefits of the final dish might become. However..."
His gaze lingered on the beginning of the Universal Harmony description.
"Cooking process"... It seems potion brewing won't trigger this effect.
As Roland pondered this, the graceful figure of Witch Vanessa, with her long purple hair, floated into his mind.
To this day, his understanding of Vanessa remained limited, whether regarding her true motives or her actual strength.
However, he had personally witnessed her extraordinary skill in brewing magic potions.
After returning to the royal capital, he had repeatedly recalled and attempted to imitate Vanessa's alchemy techniques, but he could never quite grasp the essence.
My Basic Alchemy skill is already at the fifth-tier, yet I still haven't received any related class prompts.
If alchemy-related classes are also considered basic classes, then the additional benefits gained from resonance with the Chef class must be exceptionally powerful.
Shaking his head slightly, Roland temporarily set aside his thoughts and continued reading the subtitles.
Job detected: Adept. Job resonance can be triggered.
Chef + Adept
Additional benefit gained: Taste Synesthesia
Taste Synesthesia: Upon tasting any edible item, instantly analyze its precise composition, preparation method, mana structure, and potential effects (including poisons or curses).
"Edible items... including..."
Roland's expression turned peculiar as he read the parenthetical note.
"Even poisons and curses are included?"
He reexamined the text, his fingers unconsciously stroking his smooth jaw.
"Does this mean... theoretically, anything I've tasted can be perfectly analyzed and replicated?"
His gaze involuntarily shifted to the pouch at his waist.
During their time in the Mistland, he had specifically reserved several bottles of Negative Energy Protection Potion and concentrated nutrient potions for emergencies.
The potent effects of these potions remained vividly etched in his memory.
"After dinner, I'll test this bonus to see if I can analyze and replicate those potions."
Having made up his mind, Roland refocused on the golden subtitles.
Chef + Recruit
Gained bonus: Shared Fate
Shared Fate: When cooking for multiple teammates (two or more) at a camp or temporary stronghold, in addition to the food's inherent effects, all diners gain the "Steadfast Morale" effect. Duration varies based on cooking skill level.
Steadfast Morale: Enhances resistance to mind control and mental attacks.
"Heh... it's practically a miniature Steel Will!"
After carefully reading the description, Roland nodded in satisfaction.
With the combined benefits of Steel Will and his own formidable mental power, he was now nearly immune to mental attacks and control techniques from opponents of his level.
However, his companions lacked such defenses.
He recalled their encounter with the mind flayer in Howling Gorge.
If Theresa and Galvis hadn't been mentally stunned by the mind flayer's psychic assault, their assistance might have prevented him from being dragged into that bizarre Mistland.
Chef + Blacksmith Apprentice
Gained additional buff: Hundred-Refined Flavor
Hundred-Refined Flavor: Allows cooking in specially forged metal containers. Dishes prepared in these containers gain additional buffs related to the metal's properties. Some dishes can even temporarily grant special abilities to the consumer.
"This additional buff... isn't bad, but..."
After reviewing the description of the Hundred-Refined Flavor, Roland shook his head slightly.
"Special metal containers..."
Among the materials currently accessible to him, only mithril could truly be considered "special."
But the scarcity of mithril...
"Wait!"
A polite dwarf suddenly flashed through Roland's mind.
"Before heading to Howling Gorge, I commissioned Noel to transport some mithril from the Dwarf Kingdom. I wonder how that's coming along. I'll have to check with the Blacksmith's Guild tomorrow."
"If this channel proves viable, at least the material problem for crafting enchanted tools won't be too concerning..."
As he pondered, another line of golden text slowly materialized:
Chef + Hunter
Gained additional buff: Wild Gift
Wild Gift: When butchering beasts or demonic beasts to obtain ingredients, the probability of acquiring high-quality materials (mana-rich, special parts) is significantly increased. Butchering speed is accelerated, and certain fragile or valuable organs/parts (such as poison glands, magic cores, and intact pelts) can be extracted without damage. Dishes made primarily with freshly hunted, minimally processed beast/demonic beast meat can provide temporary boosts to strength, agility, or constitution. Consumers may briefly gain weak but practical sensory traits of the creature (such as darkvision, keen sense of smell, or vibration sensing), with the duration of the effect depending on the chef's cooking level.
"Whoa!"
Roland's eyes flashed with excitement as he studied the detailed descriptions before him.
"Universal Harmony can neutralize the negative effects of ingredients and convert them into useful properties. Wild Gift allows me to obtain high-quality cuts and use these fresh materials to create dishes that grant temporary buffs or even sensory traits. Combined with the mental resistance provided by Shared Fate..."
"Although limited by the requirement that I personally cook the dishes, the collective buffing effect of these three skills in large-scale warfare might not match the grandeur of the Apprentice Knight's advanced class trait, Ember Resonance."
"But in small-team combat scenarios..."
Roland nodded in satisfaction.
"The synergistic effects of these stacked buffs will undoubtedly be more comprehensive and practical than Ember Resonance!"
"Exactly! Even though the attribute bonuses from these basic classes are now negligible for me, the unique buffs generated by job resonance still provide a tangible boost to my overall strength!"
Before his thoughts could settle, another line of golden text flashed across his vision:
Chef + Stablehand
Gained additional buff: Equine Harmony
