The Urban Successor Of God Of Gluttony - Chapter 4- Waiting for the Ingredients

Chapter 4- Waiting for the Ingredients

Gu Zheng no longer felt like he had the strength to joke around, only anger remained.

However, that spirit device faded away like before. It no longer bothered to acknowledge him. Even though he was enraged, there was no point. Gu Zheng contained the rage he felt and helplessly opened his eyes.

Gu Zheng, well let Wang Tao send you home, we wont be coming with you!

(The author made a strange change here. A friend of his, named Huang Tao existed, yet the author suddenly changed it to Wang Tao. From the context, they seem to be the same person, and the next chapter has Wang Tao still as well. However, as this may just be a mistake, I wont change the other chapters yet)

The bus stopped at its station, right in front of a subway station. Zhao Yongkui and Du Yangs houses were not in the same direction as Gu Zhengs. Only Wang Tao would not be bothered too much going with Gu Zheng, thus the three had designated Wang Tao as the one to send Gu Zheng back home.

You all might as well come with me. Didnt you say that you wanted me to repay you with good food? Right now I dont have anything going on, no need to wait for another day, today is fine!

Gu Zheng calmly spoke, he did not dare to regard this test as a small matter. Internally, one might be considering this matter strange, however, if he didnt complete the test, there was no guarantee that he would die or not. Even though his life was small, it didnt mean that he didnt consider it important.

In addition, he only had 3 days. He couldnt wait until the third day before completing the task. According to himself, the earlier he finished the test, the better.

Wang Tao and the others just happened to come to a total of 3 people, on top of that, they were quite close. He knew their tastes and what they like to eat. Since he needed to convince three people, there was no point in seeking out others, they were alright to satisfy the test.

Internally, Gu Zheng felt had some hope. In order to maintain a good image of his cooking, he rarely promised to cook for them. Only on days such as their birthday, or important celebrations would he himself offer to cook. They were used to eating normal food, which meant they should be somewhat easier to convince.

Really, today youll do it? I guess we should come over to your house?

Du Yang exclaimed with a face full of surprise. The last time he had eaten Gu Zhengs cooking was 3 months ago on his birthday. He had begged earlier, however, Gu Zheng strongly insisted that unless it was a special occasion, he would absolutely not cook.

As for seeing Gu Zhengs house, that was even harder. Only when it was Gu Zhengs birthday would they be able to go there. Gu Zhengs houses kitchen utensils were all carefully selected and left by his father. Furthermore, all the spices left in his home were left by his father who was a three star Michelin chef. Considering the spices and kitchen utensils, even hotels werent comparable. The most important point was that the last time Gu zheng had let them come over was 3 years ago, which meant that they had not eaten at Gu Zhengs cooking at his house for 3 years.

Gu Zhengs birthday was February 29th, every year he only had one birthday. Due to this, it already had them constantly complaining about why Gu Zhengs birthday was so rare. Only after 4 years would he have one day of celebration. Not only was it just this one day, they couldnt eat there once every year.

Right, today well go to my house! Gu Zheng strongly nodded. For this times test, he would prepare to use more than 20 percent of his abilities.

Okay, thats great!

Wang Tao and Zhao Yongkui happily replied. Du Yang quickly ran to buy tickets to prepare to go to Gu Zhengs house.

Gu Zhengs house was in the city, and the Pearl was quite close. It was the 3rd room on the 180th floor, however, the view was quite nice. It was his father who had bought it several years ago. This apartment had already risen in value several times. Whenever he talked about his house, Wang Tao and the others would all feel jealous of Gu Zheng, since he didnt have to worry about his house.

Gu Zhengs house had some differences from others. His kitchen and dining room were larger than normal, and the living room was just a bit smaller. Since it was like this, the moment Gu Zhengs father had seen it, he bought it.

You guys go rest, Ill go prepare the food!

Several people had come to Gu Zhengs house. When they arrived, Gu Zheng didnt even welcome them. He just let them sit down then he would change his clothes before entering the kitchen

Filthy water! Cannot be used for food, otherwise, the test will automatically be failed!

Gu Zheng had just turned on the faucet to wash vegetables when the voice inside his head rang out. It scared Gu Zheng, yet he managed not to drop the vegetables in his hands.

Whats the problem this time? Gu Zheng angrily shouted.

Master God of Gluttonys requirements toward ingredients are very high. For this test, you may not use anything toxic, of poor quality, or inferior ingredients. Some water is extremely filthy, it cannot be used as an ingredient. Even using it to wash vegetables is not allowed, otherwise, it will be automatically a failure!

Whether its poisonous or not I know, however, whats the matter with inferior and poor quality?

He forced down his anger and quickly asked. If the ingredient had toxins in it, like the medicine from earlier that contained poison, he couldnt eat it. If he ate it, he would be turned into a single puddle of blood.

However, right now yet another poor quality and inferior restrictions had appeared. Gu Zheng felt as if he was going to go crazy.

Master God of Gluttony divided ingredients into eight categories. Which are respectively, poor, inferior, second-class, average, middle-class, first-class, and high-class. In the early years, Master God of Gluttony was not too picky. Excluding those that were poisonous, he used all kinds of ingredients. After that, Master God of Gluttony ate too much high-quality food, and his requirements rose higher and higher. He ended up not using ingredients that werent high-class or above. After examining your environment and your abilities, your ingredients are limited to second-class and above.

Then you need to tell me what are second-class and poor quality ingredients, right?

When you take out the ingredients, naturally I will tell you their ranking!

Gu Zheng went silent. Internally he cursed, and the spirit device no longer responded.

Looking at the sink, Gu Zheng helplessly shook his head. This was tap water, however since it was poor quality water, he could no longer use it. Even if the vegetables werent good enough, he could only ignore it for now. Luckily in his house, he had a water cooler that was filled to the brim with pure water.

Inferior water source, cannot be used!

He had just gotten a bit of the water coolers water before the voice once again rang out. The water purity level was a bit higher than the tap water, yet it only went up a single level. He still couldnt use inferior level ingredients, furthermore, he couldnt even wash the vegetables.

Even the water coolers water isnt good enough. What do I use to wash the vegetables, how do I make food?

Gu Zheng felt that he was going crazy as he roared internally. However, that voice once again disappeared. No matter how he cursed, he no longer emerged.

Fine, youre vicious!

After yelling for a while, he still didnt get any kind of response. Gu Zheng could only leave the kitchen. He took a white bottle of water out of the refrigerator. It was the high-grade mineral water that he usually drank that his father had personally recommended to him. Every month he would buy some and store it in his house to drink it every day.

Second-class water source, may be used! the voice rang out, this time it had barely passed.

If he could see the spirit device, Gu Zheng would have definitely taken the water bottle and strongly hit it. This water was imported from France. It was mineral water taken from the alps glaciers. After going through 15 layers of filtration, not only did it not have any harmful bacteria, it also contained minerals necessary for the human body. His father was worried about the local water not being of a good enough quality, so he only let him drink this imported water. Yet this water was only rated at second-class. Then what would be average quality water, and what kind of water would be labeled as high-class?

As he took out several bottles in a row, even Gu Zheng felt some pain. Using water that cost 10 dollars to wash vegetables Even his three star Michelin chef father wouldnt do such a thing. If he were to let others know, they would definitely call him spoiled.

However, since he had water to use, at least he would be able to cook without any disturbances. He didnt think that the spirit devices next response would nearly trigger him to become violent.

Dried Five-headed-Abalone, poor quality ingredient. (Five-headed is a method of classification for abalone, it doesnt literally have five heads.)

3rd Grade Silver-tree Ear fungus, poor quality ingredient. (This is a kind of mushroom, called the Tremella fuciformis which is quite commonly used for both gourmet dishes and cosmetics.)

Two 500g frozen Australian lobsters, inferior quality ingredients.

Sky Nine Shark fin, inferior quality ingredient. (I truly have no idea what this Sky Nine thing is. So I will translate it as is.)

In the end, there were only a few items left on the table in front of Gu Zheng. Looking at these ingredients, Gu Zhengs face could not help but begin to twitch.
