As the dungeon reminders poured in, Chen Yu also emerged from his amazement at Yu Pu's gift of mining rights, looking at the kitchen, which seemed to have been completely renewed, yet also unchanged, and his thoughts began to stir.
"Magic Kitchen?"
A doubtful whisper came from Chen Yu's mouth.
He frowned slightly.
He examined it carefully.
Forgive his poor eyesight, but he really didn't see any qualitative changes in the kitchen.
However, when he clicked on the production page.
[Canned Fruit: Any Fruit x2, Water 300
Chen Yu rushed forward to help upon seeing this.
The little elf who was helped also smiled at Chen Yu and flew to his cheek to give him a kiss.
"Hey..."
Chen Yu grinned, gently tapping the spot the little elf had kissed with his finger, and then saw the water in the bucket flow like a stream into the jar.
Seal!
A jar of apple compote was magically delivered to the kitchen counter with a flick of the little elf's finger.
[Dungeon Reminder: Dungeon Apple Compote Production Successful]
"This, it's already made?"
Chen Yu was dumbfounded.
He truly hadn't expected the production of canned fruit to be so simple, without any pickling process. The little elf, with a few movements, chopped the fruit, put it in the jar, poured water, sealed it, and it was done!
It took less than a minute in total.
After finishing their work, the little elves cheered and high-fived. They then floated over to Chen Yu and danced gracefully before his eyes.
"Hey, little guys~"
Chen Yu gently tapped their little heads with his finger. The two little elves immediately clung to his finger, their big, sparkling eyes shining as they looked at him.
At that moment, Chen Yu felt his heart melt.
It's just—
Why didn't this fruit trigger the Greed Critical Hit?
"What's going on?" Chen Yu couldn't help but murmur in his heart, "Could it be that what the little elves make doesn't count towards Greed Critical Hit? That shouldn't be the case, right?"
Chen Yu stared intently at the jar.
The two little elves also perched on Chen Yu's head, staring at the jar.
Critical hit!
Come on, give me a critical hit!
Chen Yu shouted inwardly countless times, clenching his fists.
[Ding]
After much anticipation.
It finally lived up to Chen Yu's high hopes.
[Glutton's Greed Triggered, Food Greed Critical Hit x50]
[Greed Critical Hit: Dungeon Apple Compote +50]
In an instant, the fruit compote on the counter seemed to have learned the 'Shadow Clone Jutsu,' as a single jar instantly occupied half the counter.
"Well done!"
Seeing this, Chen Yu finally exhaled the breath he had been holding and celebrated with continuous fist pumps.
The Greed Critical Hit had been triggered!
The little elves on Chen Yu's head also widened their eyes in confusion at the suddenly appearing jars, then floated to Chen Yu's front, their big eyes filled with curiosity.
"Scared, aren't you~"
"Shh, don't tell anyone, okay? This can be our little secret."
Chen Yu gently tapped the little elves' heads with his finger.
As if understanding Chen Yu, the two little elves knew that Chen Yu had made this happen, and their eyes were filled with adoration.
Their bright eyes seemed to sparkle like little stars.
"Wow~"
"Why are you so cute?"
Chen Yu felt like he was melting.
Such cute little elves, he couldn't bear to exploit them and make them work for him endlessly.
He watched the little elves dance gracefully before his eyes.
"Oh my, can you guys not be so cute? I'm really going to lose control of myself," Chen Yu whispered with a tender expression.
"Pfft~"
Just as Chen Yu was hesitating, a mocking laugh reached his ears.
He looked sideways.
As expected, the little devil reappeared.
"Are you stupid? The Elemental Kitchen Maid is asking you to place an order, do you really think they are just selling cuteness to you?" the little devil sneered.
"Huh?"
"They need orders."
"What orders?" Chen Yu was confused. The little devil shrugged, "The fruit compote you just made is the order they received. Making this fruit compote isn't free, it's charged."
"Charged!"
Chen Yu was immediately startled.
Oh my!
He had upgraded the Magic Kitchen, and the elves working hard for him weren't free labor!
"Did you think elemental spirits would work for you for free!" the little devil said with a look of disdain, "Go dream on."
"But, I haven't been charged anything?"
Chen Yu spread his hands.
He checked the reminder page but found no resource depletion.
"When you activate the Magic Kitchen, it has magic elements inside, and the Elemental Kitchen Maid will take them directly," the little devil explained. "It's similar to how your other facilities are recharged. The Magic Kitchen also needs to be recharged, meaning after the upgrade is successful, it automatically stores a certain amount of magic elements."
"The method of recharging is by using elemental crystals."
"If..."
"If your kitchen's magic elements are depleted, the Elemental Kitchen Maid will leave you. They won't work for free."
"Understand, you fool?!"
