1063 Why Is Mr. Mag So Happy?

"On account of the host's good attitude and seriousness in completing the system's missions, the top-tier recipe repository will be opened for this round's God of Cookery lucky draw, and the host will have the chance to win a top-tier recipe!

"There are two lucky draw chances. Please get ready to do the draw!"

The system sounded, and the names of dishes flashed on a big red wheel. It was not like in the past where there were set dishes on every section of the wheel.

"Top-tier recipe? What's that?" Mag could not help but be curious. It was the first time he heard that. Were the recipes that the system gave him previously all considered low-tier ones?

"There is no ranking when it comes to delicacies, but in this world, the effects each dish brings to its consumer could be ranked.

"Yangzhou fried rice is able to provide energy and boost recovery to a certain extent, similar to a recovery potion, so its effects are considered low-tier ones.

"Tofu pudding has beautifying and scar-removing properties in it. To women, it's akin to giving them a new life, so its effects are considered middle-tier ones.

"Beggar's chicken has a certain ability to allow sea creatures to breathe on land, so its effect can be considered to belong to the top tier, but because of its specific target consumer and the need for a certain amount of coincidence, overall, it could only be considered a middle-tier one.

"Those that had left its mark on the history of delicacies, being able to provide a strong effect on most of its consumers, are considered top-tier dishes," the system replied.

It works this way too? Could this be the legendary Isatis tinctoria [1. A Chinese herb]? Mag pondered.

The system's ranking was very simple and clear. It was just based on the effects of the dishes. The more powerful its effect, the higher its tier.

However, this ranking based on effects also differed from people to people. For example, roujiamo should be considered a top-tier dish to the Burning Legion, but when a normal person ate it, they would only gain a little strength without that much of an effect.

A top-tier dish that had a strong effect on everyone really raised his expectations.

Mag was expectant. He rubbed his hands together and got ready to spin the big wheel.

"There is no need for the host to be overly excited. This time, only a very limited number of top-tier recipes is available. The chance of the host drawing a top tier recipe is 3%."

The system very quickly extinguished his excitement.

"F*ck." Mag suddenly came to his senses. He thought for a while, and asked, "System, what're the chances of getting 'thanks for your participation'?"

"30%."

"System, fish you! Fish you!"

"Block! Block!"

Mag rubbed his glabella. The chance of getting "thanks for your participation" is 10 times more than that of obtaining a top-tier recipe. That's so depressing!

After taking two deep breaths to calm down, Mag looked at the big wheel and used his consciousness to spin it.

The red wheel spun furiously, and the words on the spaces of the wheel also flashed furiously.

What would it be?

Mag watched on nervously.

The wheel started slowing down, and the words on the wheel also became clearer.

Pan-baked pork fillet, Big plate chicken, Pork stewed with cellophane noodles…

Just looking at them made Mag swallow his saliva.

What familiar names. Just thinking about them would make one swallow their saliva.

However, the blank spaces also made him a little worried. There were quite a few blank spaces. If he were to get a blank space, all his efforts in doing the missions would be gone to waste!

The wheel came to a slow stop under Mag's intense watch.

"Youtiao and soybean milk set meal?"

Mag blinked. After confirming that he did not make a mistake, he asked, "System, is this a top-tier recipe? It's the first time I saw a set meal."

"No," the system replied calmly.

"Soybean milk and youtiao. I'm really very unlucky." Mag sighed. He looked at the other recipes on the wheel and felt a little complicated inside.

This youtiao and soybean milk set meal was the simplest and lowest-tier dish on the wheel.

Besides, he did not really like youtiao. He did not think that the oil that was used repeatedly would be clean. On top of that, it was greasy, and when it first came out from the pot, it would be too hot, but after it had cooled down, it would be too tough.

However, he would be able to have a few sticks if it was dipped in hot pot.

The texture of youtiao when it was blanched in hot pot and taken out immediately was quite good.

He was quite fond of soybean milk, but it had to be freshly ground soybean milk.

"System, what's the effect of this soybean milk and youtiao?" Mag asked.

"Please figure it out yourself," the system answered coldly.

Fine, I'll just take it as an alternative for breakfast. It is quite weird to have fried rice for breakfast every day anyway. Besides, the system's youtiao and soybean milk should be a little different, Mag comforted himself. Although he had a little grudge over not drawing the top-tier dishes, it was already good enough that it was not "thanks for your participation".

I still have one last draw. A problem that cannot be solved with money makes it even more exciting. Mag breathed out and spun the wheel again.

The wheel began spinning wildly, and the dish names flashed past.

Mag clenched his fists subconsciously as he watched the wheel while holding his breath.

The wheel started slowing down, and finally came to a stop.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations on drawing a top-tier recipe: Buddha jumps over the wall!"

"Holy f*ck!"

Mag bolted up straight and looked at the glimmering words "Buddha jumps over the wall" in his mind. Compared to the usual gold glow, there was also a hint of red, making it even more dazzling.

Mag blinked and asked with uncertainty, "System, is Buddha jumps over the wall really a top-tier dish?"

Although his luck had always been not bad, the chances were 3%, after all, so getting it felt surreal.

"Buddha jumps over the wall, also known as 'fragrance in a pot' and 'fortune and longevity'. It is a famous dish of Fujian cuisine. It became famous because of 'the aroma wafted when the lid is opened, the Buddha forsakes his sutra and jumps over the wall to give it a try'. It was said that the owner of the restaurant Ju Chun Yuan, Zheng Chunfa, created it during the Qing dynasty.

"As one of the representative dishes of the Fujian cuisine, the taste of Buddha jumps over the wall has been widely recognized, and it even had a high reputation in the soup category.

"It had become a delicacy that is both delicious and highly nutritious because of the presence of a variety of expensive ingredients used that were still perfectly harmonized.

"Therefore, the Buddha jumps over the wall is worthy of its rank as a top-tier dish."

The system was very serious in its explanation.

"Alright. I am very satisfied." Mag was already grinning from ear to ear. He had tried it once, but thought that it was mediocre. It was probably because it had not been authentic.

But now that the system had given him a recipe that was even an improved version, the taste would definitely not be bad, since it was categorized as a top-tier dish.

Of course, what he was more curious about was the special effects this Buddha jumps over the wall, which was categorized as a top-tier dish, had.

"Why is Mr. Mag so happy?"

Just then, a voice came from behind Mag.
