My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills-Chapter 81: Dual Advancement

A quarter of an hour later.

Beside the campfire at the cave entrance.

"Hey, help me hold this first!"

Laisa suddenly handed a bunch of redwood branches to Raine.

She then took out a small bottle resembling pepper from her small bag and sprinkled it over the spider leg meat.

Raine’s nostrils flared slightly, as he smelled the aromas of cardamom, cumin, and white pepper.

After completing this step, Laisa took the spider leg meat back from Raine and began roasting it again.

Thus, after repeating the process twice and brushing it once with olive oil, she said, "Done, roasted spider leg!"

However, after the spiders’ legs were well-roasted, Laisa handed two of them to Elise first.

Elise accepted the roasted spider leg meat with a light smile, but instead of eating it immediately, she handed it to Raine.

"You..." This made Laisa’s eyes widen, wanting to say something but unable to speak.

"Thank you!" Raine smiled and said.

He sniffed it first, and then took a bite.

His tongue first encountered the slightly warm spider leg meat sprinkled with spices, and just this bite made Raine’s eyes light up slightly.

This sensation on his tongue was something he had never experienced before. As his teeth softly bit down, the spider leg meat was smooth and automatically separated like garlic cloves.

If he had to compare with something, Raine thought for a moment, the texture might be similar to the silver cod fish in a fast-food silver cod burger from his past life.

But at this moment, the spider leg meat had almost no fishy taste. He had already noticed this when he took the roasted spider leg.

With Laisa’s roasting and seasoning, the translucent spider leg meat that was slightly fishy at first had already turned into highly fragrant, creamy white strips of meat.

As he swallowed the first bite of meat, Raine felt a warm sensation in his stomach, very comfortable. Moreover, this warm current was gradually spreading throughout his body, almost like the magical spider’s leg meat had the beneficial effects of ginseng from his past life.

"So, aren’t you worried that I’ll poison you? You know I was just about to assassinate you as an assassin." Seeing Raine happily enjoying the food, Laisa’s lips curved slightly with a half-smile.

Raine didn’t pay attention to her and continued eating.

Of course, it wasn’t because he trusted the assassin he had just met, but because of his confidence in his Sensitive Smell Lv2 acquired from the Wild Boar People.

Seeing this, Elise also immediately ate a small bite.

As the spider leg meat entered her petite mouth, just a slight chew made Elise’s bright blue eyes widen involuntarily, with a certain gleam shining through.

"This is too delicious!" Elise said indistinctly without elegance, while chewing the roasted spider leg meat.

"Miss Laisa, your culinary skills are better than Auntie Mary!"

"Auntie Mary?" Laisa asked in confusion.

"Yes, she’s my home’s head chef."

"..." After hearing Elise’s answer, Laisa instantly experienced Raine’s earlier feelings.

While the two women were talking, Raine had already finished the two skewers he had in hand.

He discovered that the food derived from demons, compared to ordinary food, could definitely be called high-energy food.

The degree of difference was comparable to the calorie difference between compressed biscuits and lettuce leaves from his past life.

Having eaten only two spider legs, at this moment he felt warm all over.

’Perhaps I should learn about cooking demons?’

Suddenly, Raine felt that some kind of minuscule change had occurred within him.

He immediately looked at the attribute panel.

’Eh? My Power and Constitution have both risen to 6?’ Raine looked at the changes in the attribute panel with some surprise.

’Is it because I ate the spider leg meat that my physical quality improved?’

’No, this shouldn’t be the main reason.’

’Perhaps, as a magical delicacy, it has certain special effects, but the main reason should be like the previous Agility boost due to my training and adventure experience recently, making my physical quality on the verge of breakthrough."

’After consuming the spider leg meat, it naturally took this step.’

Soon, Raine understood the general situation.

’But the question is, why is the value in parentheses still +3?’

Raine looked closely again at the Power and Constitution attributes:

...

[Power: 6 (+3)]

[Agility: 6 (+2)]

[Constitution: 6 (+3)]

[Intelligence: 7]

[Perception: 5 (+2)]

[Charm: 5]

’Is it because both Brute Force Lv2 and Thick Hide Lv2 are second-level Talent Abilities?’ Raine thought briefly and arrived at a possible conclusion.

’It should be.’

’Because Dexterity Lv2 similarly provided a whole 2 point boost to Agility which just reached 6.’

After glancing past the Agility attribute, Raine nodded slightly.

’Though physical improvement mainly relies on training and adventure experience, this magical food should have some effect.’

’Otherwise it wouldn’t be such a coincidence that it improved right when eating the roasted spider leg.’

At this time, Raine’s peripheral vision happened to spot the skewer held motionless in Laisa’s hand.

Thus, Raine took another look at Laisa who was still chatting, then abruptly grabbed the skewer from her hand and said:

"It’s not tasty when cold. Let me have these first, you can continue roasting some more."

"Ah! At least leave me one skewer!"

Finally, after snatching back one skewer, Laisa couldn’t tease anymore and quickly guarded the last roasted spider leg meat behind her. She then took out a small jar of jam from her waist bag.

"To eat this roasted spider leg, it’s best to add some Starberry Jam to balance the charred fragrance with the slight fishy taste!"

Elise looked at the jam jar in Laisa’s hand and then at the skewer in her hand, her big eyes blinked, showing a hint of curiosity and desire to try.

"Miss Elise, would you like me to add some?" And Laisa’s gaze towards Elise, the priest girl, was much softer.

"Yes, yes." Elise nodded quickly, saying.

Regarding delicacies, she was serious.

Raine on the other hand, was indifferent, greedily eating the two skewers he ’seized’.

Soon, the three of them ate and roasted, surprisingly finishing all twenty-four spider legs.

Of course, most of the roasted spider leg meat went into Raine’s stomach.

"Alright! The feast is over, I am leaving now."

"Miss Laisa, where are you going now..." Elise couldn’t help but ask.

"Though the Farad Manor is a colossal entity, they deceived me into believing this was a Spell Mark for Shadow Step; I must give them some trouble!" Laisa pointed to the original position of the Evil Blood Mark on her arm, and said indignantly.

"If I were you, I wouldn’t choose to go back. If it is truly as you say, the Farad Manor with its deeply rooted powers, isn’t something you can handle alone."

Thinking a bit, Raine shook his head, advising.

"I’m not trying to deal with them completely, just want to show them a thing or two!" Laisa seemed a bit unconvinced.

Raine did not say anything more.

Because he always felt that Laisa’s words just now had a bit of bravado.

Also, going back to challenge such a mysterious and powerful organization?

Under normal circumstances, people wouldn’t do so without sufficient strength, likely it was just an angry remark.

"Miss Elise, I owe you a huge favor."

"If you need anything, you can... wait, my original contact method might not work this time."

Upon hearing Laisa’s words, Elise initially waved her hands, but suddenly seemed to remember something, glanced at Raine and said:

"Umm... actually... Miss Laisa, I wonder if I could ask for your help now?"
