CFSMS -Chapter 267 The Level-Skipping Gift Pack Has Arrived

The greatest achievement for a chef was receiving perfect reviews from their diners.

[Mission Progress: 1111/1111]

Watching the customers eat until their mouths glistened with oil, Lu Wu cheerfully cleaned up the battlefield that was her food stall.

The food was sold out. Time to pack up.

This was the fourth day of setting up her stall in Tianyi City. The mission was complete, her Dao Heart was clear and bright.

She knew it was time for another breakthrough.

So, System—add points.

Spiritual energy flooded into her body. Her flesh was transformed by the abundant power, becoming tougher and brimming with vitality.

Every increase in a cultivator’s realm elevated their physical body to a new level. Immortality itself was a process of continuously breaking through the limits of the flesh until the day one transcended completely.

Feeling the streams of spiritual light flowing through her body and the tiny Nascent Soul sitting within her dantian, Lu Wu smiled.

Through her tireless efforts, the mission was complete, spiritual power came naturally, and her cultivation advanced to the Early Nascent Soul Realm.

The surge of strength made Lu Wu feel as though she could punch a hundred Mike Tysons to death with a single fist.

And…

Her gaze drifted toward Qin Zhan and the others.

If she remembered correctly, these tool people were all Nascent Soul cultivators too. Now that they were on the same level, could she finally fight one of these heavenly geniuses?

Her glance was subtle enough that Qin Zhan and the others failed to notice.

They were gathered together enjoying their food. To avoid fratricide, they had all taken Jiang Yunhe’s secret medicinal pill and poisoned themselves mute.

“Ababa!”

Suddenly, a chill ran down Qin Zhan’s spine, making his hair stand on end.

He immediately raised his head and scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes.

A treacherous subject seeks to harm this emperor!

Unfortunately, there were too many people around. Unable to find the villain plotting against him, Qin Zhan could only give up.

Meanwhile, Lu Wu regretfully withdrew her gaze.

After evaluating both sides’ strength, she concluded that without using Old Li next door as a cheat code, a half-baked cultivator like herself would have a hard time defeating people like Qin Zhan.

In that case…

Better not court death.

Stretching lazily, Lu Wu hummed a tune while grabbing a hand that had crept around her waist from behind and pulling it away.

Food was acceptable.

Kidneys were not.

A girl traveling alone had to protect herself.

“Boss Lu!”

A beautiful young woman looked at Lu Wu with grievance in her eyes. She had wanted to offer herself to her idol, but Boss Lu had mercilessly rejected her.

How heartbreaking.

Faced with the look of a wronged lover, Lu Wu calmly walked away.

Clearly a new customer.

The veteran diners would never use beauty traps on her anymore. They knew it was impossible to succeed.

Her heart was as hard as iron, utterly unshakable.

Beauty could only be admired from afar, not toyed with.

“See you tomorrow, Boss Lu!”

The old customers waved goodbye. After watching Lu Wu leave, they rose in small groups and wandered off as well.

Wherever Boss Lu was, that was home for these diners.

---

The next few days of stall business went smoothly. The waters remained calm, without a ripple.

That night, Lu Wu lay on her bed, fiddling with the lottery page.

Another mission had ended. She wondered what reward the system would give this time.

Judging from its usual behavior, it would probably be something bizarre again…

This wasn’t a proper system at all. No wonder it attracted customers whose thought processes were equally abnormal.

Grumbling inwardly, Lu Wu pressed the button.

The pointer spun and spun and spun.

It spun so long that she became dizzy, yet it still hadn’t stopped.

Watching the endlessly rotating wheel, a subtle sense of unease rose within her.

Why did it feel like the system was about to do something big?

Just as the thought appeared, the wheel stopped.

A giant gift pack exploded before her eyes, and a beam of light shot into her body.

[Ding.]

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the Level-Skipping Gift Pack. After completing your next mission, your cultivation will advance by an entire major realm.]

“…”

Although it was still the same cold mechanical voice, Lu Wu somehow heard a trace of schadenfreude in it.

“Come on, System. Isn’t this a little stingy?”

she muttered.

She had only complained a few times. How had the system suddenly become serious?

System, you can’t take a joke!

This reward had no physical form whatsoever. Yet after reading the description, Lu Wu immediately developed a headache over her next mission.

An entire major realm.

She had only just entered the Nascent Soul Realm, and now she was about to leap directly into the Divine Transformation Realm.

The leap was so absurd it resembled some evil blood-sacrifice cultivation art that required offering the world as a sacrifice.

Who would believe it if she told them?

Unfortunately, as a chef dragged upward by the system, she had no way to resist its schemes.

She could only accept her fate.

“System, can you leak the exam questions in advance?”

Lu Wu asked with an awkward smile, attempting to cheat before the test.

The system remained silent.

Its silence was a clear refusal.

Pulling a miserable face, Lu Wu couldn’t think of any solution. The only thing she knew for certain was that the assessment would involve cooking.

Hopefully the system wouldn’t be too ruthless.

Throwing those worries aside, she picked up her One-Realm Communicator and began scrolling through it, admiring handsome men and beautiful women to her heart’s content.

Those eight-pack abs.

Those perfect waistlines.

The little fresh idols and fairy-like beauties would die of envy.

---

To the system’s credit, it was fairly humane. It remained silent for several days in a row, giving Lu Wu a chance to rest.

After spending those days following Jiang Yunhe around and touring all of Tianyi City, they were now setting out for a visit to Divine Physician Valley.

As a place that always held a prominent position in wuxia and xianxia novels alike, Lu Wu was naturally very interested.

White mist filled the valley.

It served as a barrier created through the combination of the valley’s natural environment and Divine Physician Valley’s formation arrays.

Without an identity token from the valley, outsiders entering this place would become trapped within the mist.

Those harboring malicious intent would lose themselves in it completely.

The methods of major sects truly were impressive.

“That’s it?”

Qin Zhan, however, had a different opinion.

“Boss Lu, just look around. Deep mountains and old forests everywhere. There’s nothing worth seeing. Someone who didn’t know better might think Jiang Yunhe was trying to kidnap and sell you.”

“Instead of Divine Physician Valley, you’d be better off visiting my Holy Sword Sect. My master has been wanting to see you for ages.”

Thinking of the greetings his master sent every few days, Qin Zhan’s teeth began to ache.

Back then, his master only told him to cultivate diligently.

Now, his master only asked whether he had any food.

A mighty expert reduced to a beggar.

Who was he supposed to complain to?

“That’s a rather biased opinion.”

Jiang Yunhe replied with a gentle smile.

“When it comes to direct combat strength, Divine Physician Valley may indeed be inferior to Holy Sword Sect.”

“But if we’re talking about wealth, resources, and material assets…”

He glanced at Qin Zhan.

“…then before Divine Physician Valley, your Holy Sword Sect is, hehe.”

That single “hehe” contained enough mockery to fill an ocean.

Yet Qin Zhan genuinely had no rebuttal.

Cultivators could still fall ill.

They could be poisoned.

They still experienced aging, sickness, and death.

Because of that, Divine Physician Valley occupied a crucial position within the Qingyuan World.

Every year, countless great cultivators sought treatment there.

The consultation fees they received were enough to make even Holy Sword Sect green with envy.

“Hmph!”

Having failed to stir up trouble, Qin Zhan shut his mouth.

“Boss Lu, my master learned of your visit and has been eagerly awaiting your arrival.”

Jiang Yunhe’s attitude toward Lu Wu was exceptionally warm. His gentle smile dispelled the cold aloofness usually seen on Divine Physician Jiang’s face.

However, knowing full well how black-hearted he really was, Lu Wu’s eyes remained crystal clear.

Handsome-man strategy?

Pass.
