"What's wrong?" Kane asked, a bit puzzled upon hearing Kreya's excited voice.

Logically speaking, although Kreya loves delicious food, she wouldn't be so excited just hearing this news.

Seeing Kane's puzzled expression, Kreya hurriedly explained, her voice unable to hide her excitement.

"Whenever a branch of the Food Association is established in a place, there are usually a lot of rare ingredients, or some that are difficult to capture and transport, appearing."

"These ingredients are very precious, and there are also many kinds of magic ingredients."

Kane watched Kreya getting more and more excited, her eyes sparkling, feeling somewhat amused.

He immediately grabbed her hand: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

"Mm!" Kreya nodded vigorously.

Holding Kreya's hand all the way, they quickly made their way through the streets to the spot where Kane saw the Food Association yesterday.

Not far away, they saw a restaurant with a dwarf architectural style, adorned with the Food Association's emblem on its signs and nearby flags.

This time, it was Kreya pulling Kane instead. They didn't leisurely stop by the Food Association on the first floor to order the chef's special dish of the day and savor it before slowly heading upstairs.

Instead, they went straight to the second floor.

Passing by the restaurant, they could see all the equipment and furniture inside were brand new, with only a few scattered dwarves and other races dining inside.

By the time they reached the second floor, there were already a few people selecting these materials.

Various ingredients filled the shelves; although none of them were completely empty, quite a few areas were already half depleted.

This indicated that many people had been waiting here since the Food Association opened early in the morning.

Kreya looked around and, seeing that everything was still there, breathed a sigh of relief.

When Kane opened his Eagle Eye to scan the surroundings, he found that many of the ingredients here carried a hint of magic power.

The magical reactions of some of the ingredients were noticeably striking.

This indicated that many of these magic ingredients could only be obtained from dungeons.

Kreya was already dragging Kane from shelf to shelf.

Kreya picked up varying amounts of ingredients from nearly every shelf.

Watching Kreya's purchasing quantities and techniques, Kane's eyelids twitched; Kreya had clearly fallen into a kind of inexplicable shopping frenzy.

Many ingredients had quantity limits for each person, but Kreya was some sort of member of the Food Association.

This allowed her to buy more than others, but she still felt it wasn't enough, so she had Kane bolster the numbers and help her buy some more.

And so, they stuffed to the brim the quotas of every ingredient they could respectively purchase before heading to the payment area.

After buying everything, they returned from the second floor to the restaurant area on the first floor.

Kreya gently hummed a tune that Kane had never heard before, but the joyful note was so apparent.

Horse hooves clattered on the floor, their crisp sound matching the rhythm of her tune.

Accompanying Kreya, they leisurely and delightfully finished their meal.

By the time they returned to their house, it was already afternoon.

Pushing open the door, they saw Longbei and his older brother playing the chess that Kane had taught them once.

However, there were some bruises on Longbei's face; it seemed he wanted to cheat but was stopped by his older brother.

Hearing the sound of someone entering, Burton looked up and saw Kane and Kreya, simply greeting them.

"Went out with such heavy rain outside?"

Kane smiled without saying anything, while Kreya pulled out an ingredient found only in coastal areas from her space equipment.

She waved the lobster-like blue-shelled ingredient in her hand at Burton.

Seeing the ingredient in Kreya's hand, Burton immediately put down his chess piece and ran over.

"It's a Giant Wave Shrimp, and it's really fresh. Where did you find such a thing in Furnace Castle? I had no idea."

Hearing this, Kreya smiled and said, "There's a Food Association in Furnace Castle now, and it just opened today, you know."

"Opened today!" Burton's voice carried a hint of surprise, suggesting he instantly thought of the same issue Kreya had before.

He immediately ignored Kane and Kreya, rushing out the door and sprinting outside.

"Looks like he was thinking the same as you."

Hearing Kane's words, Kreya smiled and replied, "After all, encountering a newly established branch of the Food Association is very rare."

"Looks like we'll be in for a treat tonight."

Kane couldn't help imagining the grand feast that would appear tonight.

It wasn't long before Burton returned, his beaming smile indicating he had secured many ingredients he wanted.

"Tonight, I'll show you my true strength, hahaha..."

Burton's voice was filled with excitement.

He then headed to the kitchen to start preparing dinner, with Kreya following cleverly behind. Hearing that Burton was going to showcase his true skills, she couldn't resist picking up a trick or two.

Danfoss, upon receiving his son's message, managed to take time out of his busy schedule to join them.

By the time the sky outside had fully darkened, Kane and the others were already seated around a large round table in the center of the dining room.

The table held only one dish.

The dish was so large that it nearly occupied the entire table, with a selection of dishes made from various ingredients arranged on it.

The house was completely filled with the aroma of delicious food, and with every breath, Kane and the others could smell the rich fragrance, their mouths watering uncontrollably.

The dish at the center of the table was Burton's highest expression of culinary skill.

He even used some of his highly cherished ingredients as key components, blending them with today's purchases.

Before trying the dish, Kane routinely extended his hand to identify the quality of this dungeon dish.

[Ascension Banquet]

[Delicious Food]

[Color: Golden]

[Attributes: Permanently enhances all attributes, grants Enhancement Sublimation, lasts 30 days.] (Sublimation: Boosts all attribute resistances.)

[Description: The masterpiece of a great chef's lifetime knowledge, using rare gold-grade ingredients, a broth simmered with star bones, complemented by specialty ingredients from various directions and different regions. This dish seems to encompass the whole world. Such exquisite preparation has successfully pushed this dish into the golden threshold.]

Golden! A golden delicacy.

Kane widened his eyes in shock, feeling more excited seeing a golden delicacy for the first time than when he first encountered golden equipment or skills.

"Everyone, please savor my greatest masterpiece!"

After cleaning up, Burton came to the table and said, prompting everyone to quickly pick up their utensils and dig in heartily.

Kane picked up an unknown slice of meat and popped it into his mouth.

Chewing the tender and succulent meat, he couldn't help closing his eyes, savoring it carefully.

The meat was firm yet bouncy, but not tough to chew; each bite released a burst of flavor that elevated his taste experience.

Bite after bite, until finally swallowing the morsel down his throat, feeling as if it turned into a stream flowing down his esophagus.

This was just the most unassuming piece of meat in this massive dish, yet already so captivating. Kane couldn't imagine how the ingredients from other parts felt like.

The entire banquet was enjoyed with everyone's eyes almost closed, fully indulging in the pleasure of the taste, uninterested in conversation, aspiring to savor the delightful sensation of the food in their mouths.

It felt like they had tasted the whole world in one meal, the different flavors seamlessly blending together.

Everyone felt as though they had achieved sublimation.
