Leo memerhatikan hasil tesnya.

Laporan Sera:
---
Nama: Sera
Ras: Manusia
Peringkat Saat Ini: Bintang 1 Rendah
Bakat: [Gourmet Mastery] – 1 bintang
Catatan: Bakat tipe kehidupan yang sangat berguna yang membuat pemilik bakat ini menjadi chef alami dan ahli dalam mengenali kombinasi bahan paling optimal. Penerapan bakat ini bahkan bisa berlanjut ke pembuatan tawon dan memberikan kekuatan stat sementara.
---
Catatan adalah pemberian khusus dari analis yang menjelaskan fungsiaproksimatif dari bakat berdasarkan pengamatan pada pemilik bakat serupa di masa lalu. Karena orang lain tidak dapat melihat deskripsi bakat seperti Leo, mereka hanya bisa membuat perkiraan.
Meskipun Leo tidak dapat melihat deskripsi bakat orang lain kecuali mereka terhubung dengan Leo melalui beberapa jenis ikatan jiwa. Yaitu, Leo perlu mengandalkan catatan dalam hasil tes untuk memahami bakat Sera.
Ia meyadari bahwa peringkat bakatnya adalah 1 bintang. Artinya, meskipun bakat itu mungkin sangat berguna dan bahkan lebih baik dari bakat combatives dalam beberapa situasi sebagai dukungan, Sera tidak akan dapat berkembang menjadi yang sangat kuat secara fisik.
Potensi alami Sera hanyalah Puncak Bintang 1, dan dengan bantuan harta alami serta harta untuk meningkatkan jiwa, maka paling tidak akan dapat menjadi makhluk Puncak Bintang 2.
"Bagus... Sepertinya itu petal Elasian Bloom yang pernah ia konsumsi ketika ia sedang serius luka memungkinkan jiwa Sera kuat dan akhirnya menunjukkan efaktenya penuh," kata Leo.
Lily mengangguk setuju.
"Bakat Sera sebelumnya sudah tampak dengan selera makanan yang sangat bagus, dan perkembangan jiwa bertindak sebagai pemicunya.
Ketika Leo mendengar Lily, ia memikirkan seberapa banyak orang yang tidak pernah memiliki bakat karena kekuatan jiwa mereka yang tidak mencukupi. Artinya, ketika pemilihan akademi di Kendru sedang berlangsung, hanya 50% dari 1000 yang diuji memiliki bakat, mungkin ada banyak yang tidak terdeteksi karena peringkat jiwa mereka lebih rendah daripada ambang batas umum, sehingga hasilnya tampak tidak ada bakat.
Begitu banyak hal yang terjadi di balik layar. Aku perlu berkembang cepat untuk memahami semua ini.
"Sera?" tiba-tiba Lily memanggil Leo dengan rasabingkapan karena merasakan kegelisahan dalam pikiran Leo.
Leo kembali ke realitas.
"Tidak ada apa-apa, hanya teralih pikiran oleh sesuatu yang acak. Namun, ada satu ide. Mau mendengar?
"Apa itu?" Lily bertanya dengan senyum,menunduk sedikit lebih dekat.
"Bagaimana dengan kita membuat restoran eksklusif dengan Sister Sera sebagai chef kepala? Dengan mempekerjakan 17 mahir girl itu, kita bisa menggunakan keahlian mereka secara efektif. Aku yakin kehadiran mereka akan menarik banyak pelanggan. Dan untuk 3 gadis itu—Aina, Sylva, dan Mira—kita bisa memanfaatkannyabakat gangguan pikiran mereka untuk mengekstrak informasi dari para tamu yang datang makan. Karena dengan kondisinya sekarang, aku tidak melihat mereka sebagai orang yang berguna.
Lily terkejut.
"...Leo! Bagaimana cara kerjanya begitu efektif?!" Ia berteriak, hampir melompat ke kaki.
"Aku sudah khawatir soal tempat untuk menempatkannya, dan ide kamu sempurna! Karena kamu bilang gadis-gadis itu dilatih untuk meningkatkan daya tarik mereka untuk memancing laki-laki, ini sempurna... Benar, Aku akan buatlah secara segera!
Ia seperti ingin berlumba-lumba menghilang ketika tiba-tiba ia merasa sesuatu yang mengganggu.
"Sister Sera... Ia hamil 4 bulan." Lihatnya ke arah Leo dengan ekspresi prihatin.
"Aku ingin mereka beristirahat selamanya; sudah cukup mengalami beban sebelum datang ke sini."
Leo hanya mengangguk.
"Siapa bilang tidak bisa istirahat? Aku yakin dia benar-benar mampu mematuri mahir girl tersebut dan orang dari Kendru sambil duduk. Dan menurut aku, para wanita hamil bisa bekerja dengan aman selama 6 bulan, setelah itu harus melambat dan sepenuhnya beristirahat mulai dari bulan ke-9," kata Leo sambil menunjukkan pengetahuannya tentang dunia sebelumnya.
"Karena ini bulan ke-4, dia bisa melatih orang selama 1 bulan. Walaupun hanya ide saja; di akhir hari, Anda tetap bisa memutuskan. Meskipun begitu, tidak seperti orang lain yang tidak bisa memasak, terutama karena mereka dahulu bekerja di restoran bersama Anda; mereka harus sudah memiliki keterampilan yang baik.
Lily mengangguk setuju pikirannya.
"Kamu benar, dan Aku yakin Sister tidak suka duduk macam ini pun. Baik, kita lakukan begitu.
Kamu pilih lokasinya dekat dengan teleporasi, supaya akan menarik perhatian. Aku akan mencari lokasi yang bagus untuk bangunan yang baru saja kuingin pilih.
Lily menanjak.
"Apa itu?"
"Restoran publik," Leo berbicara sambil senyum.
"Mereka akan bertindak sebagai penarik utama untuk kebanyakan orang di cuaca seperti ini."
Dengan begitu, keduanya mulai mencari lokasi yang cocok.
Sementara perjalanan, Leo mencoba mendeteksi berapa banyak energi yang tersimpan dalam Titanbreath Lotus untuk langkah selanjutnya dan tingkat energi pribadi Howl.
Untuk Titanbreath Lotus, hanya ada sedikit peningkatan dari 5% sisa energi ke 7% berkat jatidarah binatang buas yang elfnya buang-selungk.
Sementara bagi Howl, respons sistem sangat menarik.
>Setelah menyerap sebuah beastcore berkualitas tinggi dengan sinergi yang tinggi, individu 'Howl' tidak akan menghadapi bottleneck untuk perkembangan utama berikutnya. Selain itu, tingkat energi yang tersimpan sangat rendah; saat ini, beast tersebut memerlukan makanan fisik untuk maju.
>Bahan fisik yang sama sedang dibuat secara cepat, dikonsumsi, dan diserap dengan bantuan harta alami 'Titanbreath Lotus' dan banyak harta lain yang ditanam di bahunya.
>Beast 'Cragveil Colossus' kemungkinan akan berkembang dalam beberapa hari ke depan.

Chapter 653: Restaurant And Hot Spring
Leo took a look at the test results.
---
Sera’s Report:
---
Name: Sera
Race: Human
Current Rank: Low 1-star
Talent: [Gourmet Mastery] – 1 star
Remark: An extremely useful life-type talent that makes the talent wielder a natural cook and a master at identifying the best combination of ingredients. The talent application can even extend to brewing potions and creating dishes that temporarily boost stats.
---
A remark was a special note from the analyst that outlined the approximate function of the talent based on observations of previous similar talent bearers. Since people couldn’t see a talent’s description like Leo, they could only make an approximate guess.
Even Leo couldn’t see anyone’s talent description unless they were connected to him through some sort of soul bond. In other words, Leo would need to rely on the remark in the test results to understand Sera’s talent.
Though he did notice that the talent rank was 1-star. Meaning, even if the talent might be very useful and even better than a combat talent in some cases when acting as support, Sera wouldn’t be able to grow very strong physically.
Her natural potential was just Peak 1-star, and if pushed by natural treasures and soul-enhancing treasures, she could at most become a Peak 2-star being due to the presence of a talent.
"It’s great... Looks like that one Elasian Bloom petal that she consumed when she was heavily injured allowed her soul to strengthen and finally show the full effect of her talent," Leo muttered.
Lily nodded in agreement.
"Her talent seemed to be showing previously with how good her food tasted, and the soul advancement acted as the final trigger."
When Leo heard Lily, he had a thought about how many people simply couldn’t have their talents displayed because of their non-existent soul strength. Meaning, when the academy selection was happening back in Kendru, when only 50% out of 1000 had been tested to have talents, there might have been many more who were missed simply due to low soul ranks—perhaps even lower than the common threshold, making the result appear as no talent.
"Damn, what if someone with a talent like Lily or me is getting missed every single day and dying without achieving anything?"
Leo could already imagine a simple solution for these talented individuals who were being missed: simply introduce a small amount of soul-enhancing treasure—just the minimum required to strengthen the weakest individual’s soul enough to display their talent so they wouldn’t be missed.
Though it would significantly increase assessment costs, it would not outweigh the cost-benefit ratio. Because simply 1 out of 10,000, or even 100,000, having a 5-star talent would cover all the costs.
Is it done intentionally? Leo thought.
Because if Leo was capable of deducing this with such limited information, there was no way higher authorities didn’t know about this.
Fuck, too many things are going on backstage. I need to grow quickly to know all these things.
"Leo?" Lily called out in confusion after sensing the turmoil in Leo’s mind.
Leo snapped out of his thoughts.
"Nothing, got distracted by some random thought. Though I have an idea. Want to hear it?"
"What is it?" Lily asked with a smile, leaning a bit closer.
"How about we construct a lavish restaurant with Sister Sera as the head chef? That way, we can even employ those 17 young maids effectively. I bet their presence will attract a lot of customers, and finally, those 3 girls—Aina, Sylva, and Mira. They can utilize their mind interference skill to extract information from those who come to eat. Because as they are now, I don’t see them as useful."
Lily’s mind was blown by the idea.
"This... Leo! How does your mind work so effectively!?" she exclaimed, literally jumping to her feet.
"I had been worrying about where to have those inexperienced girls work, and your idea is perfect! Since you say these girls were trained to enhance their charm to entice men, this is perfect... You know what, I will have it built right away!"
She seemed to be about to dart away when she suddenly recalled a jarring issue.
"Sister Sera... She is 4 months pregnant." She looked up at Leo with a troubled expression.
"I want her to rest for the rest of the time; she had already been subjected to enough worry before coming here."
Leo simply shrugged.
"Who said she can’t rest? I am sure she is completely capable of at least training those maids and people from Kendru while sitting. And from what I know, pregnant ladies can safely work for 6 months, after which they need to slow down and completely rest from the 9th month onward," Leo said, displaying his knowledge of the previous world.
"Since it’s the 4th month, she can safely train people for 1 month. Though it’s only my suggestion; in the end, you get to decide. Even so, it’s not like others cannot cook, especially since they used to work in the restaurant alongside you; they must have developed decent skills."
Lily contemplated Leo’s words for a while.
"You’re right, and I am sure Sister won’t like sitting idle either. Let’s do that, then."
Leo nodded.
"Alright, you decide on the place it needs to be built, and I will lay the foundations. Try to choose a place near the teleportation array; it will attract attention. Meanwhile, I will look for a good place to build the thing that I have been planning for a while now."
Lily raised her brow.
"What’s that?"
"Public hot spring," Leo said with a grin.
"They will act like magnets for most people in this weather."
Lily was once again amazed.
With that, both of them got to work looking for a good place.
While on the way, Leo tried to sense the amount of energy stored by the Titanbreath Lotus for the next advancement and Howl’s personal energy levels.
For the Titanbreath Lotus, there was only a small increase from 5% energy reserves to 7% with all the hunted beast corpses the elves had been dumping.
As for Howl, the system response was very interesting.
>After absorbing a highly synergetic and high-ranked beastcore, the individual ’Howl’ will not face any bottleneck for the next major rank advancement. Additionally, the stored energy levels are very high; right now, the beast requires ingesting physical substances to rank up.
>The same physical substance is being rapidly made, ingested and absorbed with the help of the natural treasure ’Titanbreath Lotus’ and many other treasure plants planted on the beast’s back.
>The beast ’Cragveil Colossus’ is likely to advance in the coming few days.
