I Became an Old Man in My Leisure Time

Chapter 269: The Handyman's House + Secret Realm = Holy Land for Cultivation

Now Gu Ke is very casual in setting up stalls. He does not force himself to use up all the opportunities, but uses the world in his palm to play new tricks.

The Wanshi House takes up one ordinary stall opportunity, and the time limit is five days.

It's just that Gu Ke, as the owner, cannot go out, and there are very few guests from the outside who have the opportunity to enter.

Therefore, Gu Ke first uses the body of the void to open the secret realm in various blessed places, and closes the entrance after letting people in.

Then, he opens the exit of the secret realm through his projection in the Wanshi House.

As long as he wants, anyone can transfer through the secret realm and enter the Wanshi House.

What are the benefits of doing so? The reason is very simple.

The Wanshi House is one of the system buildings of the Yulong Cave Mansion.

Therefore, people who stay in it can enjoy the characteristic bonus of the Yulong Cave Mansion.

At this time, there is no need for Gu Ke and others to come forward to instruct. People who enter the Wanshi House have completed their promotion under the stimulation of various characteristics.

Those with less luck can also take the opportunity to comprehend their own martial arts, solve many difficult barriers in cultivation, and pave the way for subsequent cultivation.

Even the people with the worst luck can improve their body and mind, and improve their martial arts talent.

In the past, Gu Ke did not deliberately show the characteristics of the fairy mountain building to the outside world. First, he could not let people enter the Wanshi House at will, and second, it was difficult to control people's hearts.

Now with the palm of the world, he bypassed the "access rules" and everything came naturally.

Anyway, people who are lucky enough to enjoy the bonus of the characteristics of the Jade Dragon Cave Mansion cannot find the entrance to the secret realm, let alone what the Wanshi House is.

All they see and hear is that they enter a magical "building" in the secret realm through the blessed land.

No matter how great the benefits of this building are, no matter how much you want to get the benefits, you have to enter the secret realm first.

The opening of the secret realm entrance is controlled by Gu Ke, who does not show up on weekdays.

As the saying goes, hit the snake with the stick, but what should I do if I can't see the face of the real owner? No matter who has superb acting skills and thick skin, it is useless.

If you can't take shortcuts, then everything can only go back to the right path-kill more monsters to gain the attention of the fairy mountain.

The Su brothers and sisters of Beimo are a real example of this.

Back to the topic, as time goes by, many of the die-hard and sincere people of the fairy mountain have entered more than once.

Gu Ke gradually relaxed the qualifications for entering the Wanshiwu and issued it to people with outstanding military exploits in various blessed cities.

Many people came from government offices and local clans, and they were more in awe of the fairy mountain than grateful, and their sincerity was far behind.

However, Gu Ke still gave them a chance.

After all, these people were able to have outstanding military exploits with fewer blessings. Either they had the help of the forces behind them to "boost their performance", or they were gifted, and their efforts were equivalent to others' hard work.

For the former, Gu Ke did not deliberately target them.

Were there not enough people who scolded the capitalists in the last life? As long as it did not affect the overall situation and could make money for them, the capitalists did not care about the attitude of the people.

Similarly, the harder the people of the government and local clans worked to brush up their military exploits, the more demon corpses they handed in, and the more soul sources Gu Ke got.

As long as they don't do things against the trend or openly oppose the fairy mountain, it's okay to enjoy some of the benefits of the fairy mountain.

Gu Ke never regarded the government and clans of Dawu as his enemies, but regarded them as "human beings" in a general sense.

He would not care about those who followed the trend of resisting the evil spirits.

He was too lazy to do anything about those who went against the trend, and there would naturally be grassroots people who said "I can replace them" to deal with them.

Whether Dawu will be unified in the future, or maintain one court and four countries, or become fourteen countries or forty countries, these are not important to him, and he is not interested.

Just like online writers can update thousands of words every day, rain or shine for several years.

But if someone who is not interested comes to do it, he will resist it when he hears about this work, and it will be unreadable even if it is forced to do it.

If the novel is badly written, the consequence is that no one will read it, and at most the author will starve to death.

If there is a problem in governing the country, tens of thousands of people will die.

Gu Ke is self-aware and will not think that he can do everything after traveling through time.

Many people always have mysterious self-confidence, and they think that everything will be fine if they change to themselves.

But many people who say this don't even have the ability to manage a small company, and they can't even manage themselves.

In myths and legends, the omnipotent one is the Western God. From creating the world to dividing day and night to herding humans, humans are subordinate to God.

And what are the Chinese myths and legends? Pangu created the sky, Nuwa created humans, and later there were also Lei Gong Dian Mu, Feng Po Yu Shi in the heaven.

No god is omnipotent, everyone has their own duties and expertise.

Having been a Chinese for decades in the previous life, Gu Ke's thinking would naturally not deviate to the Western God.

Rather than believing in his own personal wisdom, he believes more in "talented people emerge in every generation".

Give talented people opportunities, and they will govern Dawu themselves.

As for whether they can govern well, who can tell?

Even in the modern society of the previous life, there are many things that feel that they have done well at the time, but later found that they have taken detours.

Human society itself is constantly developing through mistakes and improvements.

Gu Ke only provides assistance to ensure the basic survival of the vast majority of people.

Back to the present, Gu Ke uses the secret realm as a transit channel to complete the purpose of opening the Wanshiwu freely to the outside world.

Each group of entrants can stay inside for five days. The floor they are on is separated from the outside world and they can't see the outside world at all.

Change every five days, and randomly select another location to open the Wanshiwu again.

This is to facilitate the management of the number of people entering, and also to allow Gu Ke to change his place to see the scenery. After all, the floor where he and the girls are located will not block the outside scenery.

Of course, Xiaoman and Sa Lanzhu are not interested in seeing the scenery.

Just like at this moment, they pulled Xiao Ping'er and persuaded Gu Ke and Bai Suqing to join them, and they formed a team to stroll in the first floor hall of Wanshiwu.

And their current images are all purchased from the character card pool, not their real appearance.

In fact, Gu Ke can now net tens of millions of soul sources in a year by lying down, and he really has no shortage of soul sources to permanently purchase temporary character cards.

Not to mention himself, Xiaoman and the others have more than ten character cards per person.

There is no other meaning, hey, just playing.

For example, today's character card is temporarily drawn.

Xiaoman uses Diaochan's character card, with the attribute of agility +10.

Xiao Ping'er uses Feiyan's character card, with the attribute of light body +10.

Sa Lanzhu uses Wen Ji's character card, with the attribute of rhythm +10-this is her own choice, anyway, it doesn't matter to her what character card she uses.

Bai Suqing is the Yuhuan character card, with the attribute of plumpness +10.

Gu Ke only tried the specific effect of this character card a little bit, and it was indeed very smooth and suitable for Sister Bai.

Gu Ke did draw a Song Yu character card, with the attribute of stunning beauty +10.

He decisively gave up, and chose the Cao Ze character card he had drawn a long time ago, with the attribute of physical strength +10.

But Gu Ke's physical strength was already abundant, and the use of this character card was just to make the appearance more ordinary and not so easy to attract attention.

Like Xiaoman and the others, everyone covered their faces with a gauze hat, and the appearance added by the character card was actually useless.

But he understood this very well: if it was necessary, even if they could only appreciate themselves, few people would be willing to become ugly.

Fortunately, there were thousands of people entering the Wanshiwu in each batch, including many women, and many of them covered their faces.

The reasons for covering their faces were also various.

Anyway, it was impossible to make trouble in the Wanshiwu, and no one cared about covering their faces.

The lobby on the first floor is similar to the past, except that there are more bamboo couches for people to rest on, and the men's and women's areas are separated, and the bamboo couches are numbered.

People can get a number plate after entering, and the bamboo couch with the corresponding number will belong to them within five days.

As the "dense array" cultivation platform of Beimo has become popular in various blessed places, everyone is familiar with this set of rules.

Occasionally, some people don't understand it very well, and they can ask others, and the more pious Xianshan sincere people are very happy to help them.

Every time, there are sincere people who sacrifice some of their personal cultivation time to maintain order here.

The public toilets and bathrooms are in the men's and women's rest areas.

The women's area is better, and there are macho men wrapped in linen and with most of their muscles exposed around the men's area from time to time, which is quite unrefined.

And there are also people who are good at cooking in the kitchen area who take the initiative to cook, more or less casually.

Others eat whatever they can catch up with, and if they can't catch up, they grill meat, boil eggs and milk by themselves.

It's originally for cultivation, and whether the food tastes good or not has nothing to do with the effect of food supplements.

The only rule is not to waste ingredients, and even if they are not delicious, they must be eaten.

Of course, there are not many people whose cooking skills are so bad.

And they know it is bad, so they will naturally find a way.

Whether it is "partnering" with a companion who is good at cooking, or calling brothers on the spot, or waiting for kind people to cook, the problem of eating can be solved.

In fact, there are rarely no people in the kitchen area, because the ingredients of the Wanshiwu are supplied in unlimited quantities, which is obviously a welfare provided by the fairy mountain.

There are not many people who really take advantage, but those who eat a few more bites by the way are the mainstream.

Moreover, every time there are more or less a few people who take cooking as their major, and when they see good ingredients, they really love it and spend a lot of time cooking.

Cultivation? What kind of cultivation!

Their qualifications in martial arts are just so-so, it is better for them to work harder on agricultural and industrial skills.

If they can achieve something in processing monster meat one day, they can still stand out.

No matter where, chefs are one of the groups that are least likely to go hungry. After the monster meat is cooked, don’t they taste it themselves? By the way, it is no less rewarding than practicing martial arts.

Xiaoman is very interested in the skills of these colleagues.

Cooking skills are very different.

Just the basic oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, different raw materials and processes can make a difference.

Oil alone is divided into vegetable oil and animal oil, and further subdivided into soybean oil, rapeseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, camellia oil, lard, sheep oil, beef tallow, etc.

Different aromas and properties are suitable for different dishes.

Add to that the chili oil, scallion oil, pepper oil, etc. for seasoning, and it is even more complicated.

Gu Ke has collected skills in Dawu for so many years, and has the help of texts to record them, but he dare not say that he knows all the ingredients, let alone Xiaoman.

But Xiaoman has an advantage. When it comes to eating, she always keeps a pious heart.

So she never underestimates other chefs unless she really sees through everything about them.

Like now, she was standing in front of a "public" chef, looking at the fried golden eggs, and her face was full of shock: "There is such an ingredient?"

She turned her head and looked at Gu Ke.

This was not to question the chef's skills in making such eggs, but to ask him "Do we have this thing in our warehouse?"

Gu Ke nodded affirmatively.

Before he could say anything, the middle-aged chef who was grilling various ingredients laughed: "Girl, don't talk about you, I'm surprised that Xianshan has hairy eggs."

He then added: "Although it doesn't look good, it tastes unique. Girl, come and try a string of hairy eggs?"

The middle-aged chef didn't fry many hairy eggs, about five strings, five in each string, just to satisfy his craving.

If he fried more, he was afraid that no one would eat them, so he had to stuff them all in, and that was over.

Barbecues are the most in quantity, after all, most people can eat them.

His barbecue skills are not top-notch, but he got the skills from Xianshan, plus he figured it out himself.

In the past two days, there are really a group of "old diners" waiting to enjoy.

Of course, they have to appreciate his barbecue.

Afterwards, exchanging cooking skills or martial arts with each other is the minimum courtesy, and the middle-aged chef is not at a loss.

"Then try it." Xiaoman grabbed a bunch of fried eggs and took a bite. His eyes lit up immediately: "Hey, the skin is quite crispy."

The middle-aged chef smiled even more and gave a thumbs up: "Girl, you have good eyesight. This is my exclusive secret recipe."

Here, he didn't say what secret recipe it was.

Although secret recipes have been widely spread in various industries after the widespread transmission of art in Xianshan, the same thing still applies - the knowledge of cooking is too vast and complicated.

Gu Ke would not bless all the secret recipes to all chefs at once. There is no need.

In the previous life, chefs did not teach all eight major systems when teaching apprentices. The master taught a part and the rest was studied by the apprentice.

A typical master leads the way, and the practice is up to the individual.

Xiaoman smacked her lips, and then brought the fried skewer with a hairy egg missing to Gu Ke's mouth: "Try it, I think it's like the way to make fried chicken nuggets."

Gu Ke opened his mouth, took one off in one bite, chewed it carefully for a moment, and nodded: "Well, it's 70% similar, it should be about the same."

Xiaoman laughed: "This steamed bread slice..."

Gu Ke pushed the fried skewer back and blocked her mouth: "You should eat more."

Xiaoman couldn't help blinking when she saw his expression, and turned to look at the middle-aged chef.

Then he saw that the expression was inexplicable, and when he saw her looking at him, he showed a helpless smile and bowed his hands in greeting: "Two chefs, I'm sorry for showing my ugliness."

As the saying goes, a loud drum does not need a heavy hammer. Xiaoman just mentioned the raw material of steamed bread slices, and the middle-aged chef knew that she was not bragging.

The secret recipe is sometimes just a layer of window paper, and one word is enough for people in the industry to guess the general principle and process.

Gu Ke blocked Xiaoman's mouth because he didn't want her to expose other people's secret recipes in public.

It's not that I treasure my own stuff, but it's not necessary.

This thing is not an earth-shattering invention that will change the world, it just makes food taste better.

It's like spoiling the fun to reveal someone's little trick in public.
