Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons

On the streets of Crystal Town.

Kane and his group were heading towards the tavern. At this moment, the streets were sparsely populated, and the surrounding shops had few customers, giving a slightly desolate feel.

It was only the afternoon, as Kane and his team faced the second-stage boss today.

Although it was the boss, it didn't take them much time. After all, as soon as one enters the dungeon, the fight with the boss begins.

However, despite not spending much time, a lot of energy was expended.

When they arrived at the Big Gold Tooth Tavern, Burton was snoring away.

But as Kane and his team approached, Burton woke up.

Seeing Kane's group return so early, he said, "Back already? Guess you didn't spend long against the boss."

He invited them to sit by the bar.

"Luckily, we encountered the sewn beast, which wasn't too troublesome."

After speaking, Kane took out the beef leg they just obtained from Kreya's space equipment.

Burton watched Kane's actions. Seeing him pull out a leg of beef, he knowingly nodded.

Kane handed the beef leg to Burton, who took it and began inspecting it carefully.

"Oh! It's a Impact Wild Ox's hind leg. Haven't seen dungeon ingredients in a while."

His centuries of experience as an explorer and chef allowed him to quickly identify the ingredient in his hand.

Burton looked at the meat leg in his hand with some lament.

Then he looked up to see everyone's expectant eyes.

"Hahaha, don't rush, folks. I'll show you my skills now. Haven't made dungeon dishes in a long time, feels like my youth."

After speaking, Burton walked into the kitchen under the expectant gaze of the group.

At this moment, Kane took out the "Mystical Egg" from his space equipment.

Placed it in the center of the counter and then looked at his teammates.

"Does anyone want a pet?"

Everyone shook their heads, then Longbei said, "You're a hunter, how can a hunter be without a pet, so you should raise it."

Upon hearing his teammate's words, Kane was not modest, but now the problem was, how to hatch this egg?

Kane himself had never learned about such matters, and the description didn't say.

He was quite clueless now.

"Does anyone know how to hatch this egg?"

Once again, everyone shook their heads, and Kreya said, "I've never learned about this information."

Now it seemed a bit tricky.

Burton walked over from the direction of the kitchen and said, "Alright, now the hind leg is prepared, it just needs slow roasting."

When he came over, he found Kane's group staring at an egg on the counter, lost in thought.

"What's wrong with you all?"

Kane pointed to the egg in front of him.

Burton ran over to give the egg a look, and even touched it.

"Oh, it's a pet egg! Such nostalgia!"

Kane looked at Burton's expression and suddenly asked, "Do you know how to hatch this egg?"

Burton suddenly realized.

"So you're struggling with this."

With that, he reached into the void, searching in his space equipment. In a bit, he pulled out a small stone.

Burton handed the stone to Kane.

"Examine it."

Kane took the stone and began inspecting it.

The stone was very smooth, more like a marble than a stone. Its surface was devoid of any pattern, and it felt slightly warm in hand.

[Hatching Stone]

[Consumable]

[Color: Copper]

[Attributes: Slightly increases magic damage - Fire Element]

[Description: These stones are produced in volcanoes or hot places, some smart beasts will lay them by their nests to help hatch their young. Enhanced by mist, it became the ideal choice for egg hatching.]

Looking at the stone in his hand, Kane asked, "How do you use this thing?"

"Just place it next to the egg at night, and after about a night, it will hatch."

Kane accepted the stone, nodded knowingly, and then carefully placed the egg back into his own space.

Since this ingredient is a magic ingredient, Burton couldn't use quick cooking. Not only would it ruin the taste, but it might also weaken the effects of the ingredient's attributes enhancement.

So everyone had to wait for the beef leg's slow preparation.

Time gradually passed, and some explorers finished their day's adventure and came to the tavern.

Kane watched the hall quickly fill up with people, then looked at the clock in the middle of the hall. At this time, the tavern was fully occupied?

In the past, at this time, the tavern was still somewhat sparsely populated.

When Burton finished his business, Kane asked, "What's going on these days? Seems like a lot more explorers."

Burton didn't answer, but instead took a magazine from under the counter and placed it in front of Kane.

Kane took a look.

The cover clearly read, "Intelligent Machinery, Copper Dungeon Available," with a photo of someone beside it.

Flipping through the magazine, the first few pages were about Kane's earlier interview and an introduction to the dungeon.

Various praises for the [Crystal Arena] and all the benefits of this dungeon.

After reading the dungeon introduction, Kane passed it to Kreya beside him.

Now he indeed knew why so many new explorers suddenly appeared.

Finally, Burton prepared the ingredients and brought them out.

The enticing aroma instantly filled the tavern, making the explorers inside unable to resist turning to look at the roasted beef leg in Burton's hands.

"Do you have more, boss? We'd like a serving too."

Burton placed the dish on Kane's group's table, then said to the explorers who looked over, "Don't look, and don't think about it. This is an ingredient they themselves obtained from the dungeon, just this one."

These explorers sat down in disappointment, since it was an ingredient gotten from the dungeon, there wasn't any other choice.

Some wanted to get up to ask if Kane was willing to sell it to them.

The scent was simply too enticing.

But they were immediately pulled down by their teammates. How could anyone be willing to sell once such an ingredient is cooked?

If Kane wanted to sell, he'd have done so long ago, instead of waiting to cook and then selling it. They advised their teammates not to stir up trouble.

Kane's group looked at the roast beef leg on their table, saliva nearly dripping out, no exaggeration to say, this might be the most fragrant food Kane had ever smelled.

Kane touched the plate with his hand, wanting to see if he could identify the food.

[Kuspurt Flavored Beef Leg]

[Food]

[Color: Copper]

[Attributes: Enhances physical fitness upon use]

[Description: Combining Kuspurt's secret sauce with the dwarf chef's superb culinary skills, the entire flavor of the beef leg has been sublimated.]

"Let's eat, let's eat."

With Kane's words, everyone started to move their dining utensils.

Kane cut a piece and put it into his mouth.

With one bite, the animal's fats quickly exploded in his mouth, enveloping the spices within to fill his palate, intensely stimulating his taste buds.

Chewing the beef in his mouth, the texture was firm yet tender, this was definitely the best meat he'd had.

After swallowing the beef, he could distinctly feel a warm stream permeating throughout his body, fine sweat starting to emerge from his pores.

This was presumably the ingredient's fortifying effect.

This meal was certainly a sweat-inducing feast, and Kane was completely captivated by the dungeon's ingredients.
