The white fog enshrouded the snow-white stone pillars, a delicate wooden house, and white gravel. As usual, there was a plaque in front of the house with the owner's name.

Dennis Fox!

Having experienced "trial runs" with Shay, Nidya, and other children, Tang Qi had a wealth of experience in eliminating sources of danger, and now, his combat power had surged to the point of being somewhat "inflated".

Without hesitation, he reached out to push open the door.

Creak!

The scene that had previously appeared in the manual now realistically entered his field of vision.

A room glowing white, clearly built with special materials and filled with a futuristic sense of technology.

But what was strange was the stack of hay in the center.

The withered boy asleep in the hay, the boiling uncovered cast-iron pot, the continuously emerging and bursting shadows... Peaceful, yet incredibly eerie.

Tang Qi did not immediately step into the room, the manual warned:

"Visitors must not enter the room; doing so will disrupt Fox's deep sleep, causing severe consequences."

The source of this warning was the invisible, intangible "gas" that filled the room, as seen by Tang Qi at this moment.

The "Dragon's Sleep Energy" provided by the Ancient Castle Bureau could create a special space, where all life forms inside would fall into a deep slumber, including their bodies and souls, without any side effects. The downside was that any "disturbance" would collapse the space.

With a blink, Tang Qi stared at the boy, as more detailed information emerged in his mind.

"Dennis Fox, born in Fox Town, Shelay State, had exceedingly irresponsible parents plagued by alcoholism, gambling, and drug addiction, which caused Dennis to develop a sense of independence from a young age. He not only took care of himself but also excelled academically far beyond his peers—an extremely intelligent child."

"His abilities were also gained due to the return of the Spiritual Tide. On that day, while cooking dinner for his drunk parents, Dennis unexpectedly fell into a coma. Days later upon awakening, he found himself possessed by some unnamed 'thing,' and suddenly below him and before him, a stack of hay and an uncovered cast-iron pot appeared."

"Entering a certain fixed program, he would start to operate like a Puppet, continuously conjuring various creatures from thin air, most of which were species not known to the Federation or Blue Star, and tossing them into the pot. The process would quickly 'cook' various monsters, which seemed less like 'cooking' and more like 'synthesizing'."

"During the process, he remained conscious and able to communicate, but he couldn't stop his own actions. Any attempt to interrupt him would result in attacks from various 'monsters' emerging from the pot."

"His first documented 'cooking' event was as follows: one poison dart frog, a two-headed snake, a human-faced beetle (unknown species), a bird with a baby's head (unknown species)... After ten seconds of cooking, it resulted in the birth of a nearly Professional Level monster, which frightened away his parents and brought the police."

"Second record: one flea, one juvenile narwhal (unknown method of insertion into the pot), some liquid life form (unknown species)... After ten seconds of cooking, it created a monster close to Professional Level beast, causing heavy losses to the organization containing him."

"Third record..."

"Since the program's activation time and rules were unpredictable and as the number of creations increased, the monsters became stronger. Ultimately, Esmeralda, who decided to contain him, used Dragon's Sleep Energy to put him into a deep slumber, thus halting the program."

...

Accompanied by "incredible" information, Tang Qi saw the images of monsters created by the boy.

In total, six.

This meant that before falling into slumber, he had cooked six times, synthesizing six monsters, and by the sixth, he had exceeded the "Professional Level" threshold. If not for the containment by the Witch Group, the consequences could have been dire.

The sixth monster, surprisingly small like a lamb, had its limbs, torso, and head taken from a mountain ram, unknown fish species, and Exotic Realm bird-shaped demon respectively, with strange flesh wings on its back.

On the wings, there were rows of red eyeballs.

Each eyeball could emit "lethal light".

Eventually, this "Red-eyed Demon" was eliminated by the Witches, directly confirming the danger of Dennis.

Nobody could predict what kind of Monster he would create if left unchecked.

"Dennis's thoughts seemed unpolluted, it was just that he was held captive by this dangerous power, unable to control it."

"Additionally, this power seems quite similar to the abilities of the Beast Shepherd profession."

At that thought, Tang Qi suddenly had something in his hand.

It was a container shaped like a tooth, sharp and huge, as if it had been plucked from the maw of a giant dragon.

Another bottle of "Dragon's Sleep Energy," prepared in case of any mishaps.

Although Tang Qi's combat power had surged, he didn't really consider himself invincible; precautions were necessary.

"Let's begin!"

As his words fell, Tang Qi stepped into the room with one foot.

Instantly, a ripple formed, and the gentle ghost light filling the room collapsed.

As if there was a flaw, it emptily surged out in an instant.

True colors began to repaint the abnormal room.

Simultaneously, from the gaps in the hay stack, an inexplicable emission of black and red gas began, with a hissing sound that suddenly appeared, followed by a "bang," beneath the uncovered cast-iron pot, steam roiled and flames suddenly burst forth, a mixture of black smoke and red flames intertwined.
