CHAPTER 789: CHAPTER 400: ADVANCED LEVEL FINGER SKILL

The upgrade of Finger Skill happened on a very ordinary morning.

Huang Shengli had already discussed with Huang Ji’s foreman the date and pricing for the Four Happiness Flower Rolls, pricing them as new snacks at 18 yuan each.

Considering the pricing of Huang Ji’s dishes, 18 yuan for a ham-filled flower roll is not really expensive. After all, Huang Ji sells their Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns for 18 yuan each, so pricing the flower rolls at 18 yuan is a shocking price.

Of course, for the sake of Huang Ji staff’s taste buds, before the official launch of the Four Happiness Flower Rolls, Huang Ji had already opened the purchase channel for Four Happiness Flower Rolls to its members.

Once pre-order opened, the flower rolls Qin Huai made daily were sold out immediately, and everyone no longer had the worry of stuffing themselves with Four Happiness Rolls every day. But they had a new worry—

The worry of not getting to eat Four Happiness Rolls.

In Tan Wei’an’s words, people are really strange; when they can’t stop eating Four Happiness Rolls every day, they feel like throwing up at the sight of them. But once they stopped eating, they started missing them, sometimes subconsciously checking when Qin Huai’s Four Happiness Rolls would come out of the pot, ready to eat one.

After Tan Wei’an said this, Qin Huai handed him a Four Happiness Roll to fulfill his wish. Meanwhile, Tan Wei’an subconsciously burped the moment he received the roll, as a reflex.

When Qin Huai handed this Four Happiness Roll to Tan Wei’an, he suddenly noticed that this roll seemed slightly more attractive than the ones made earlier.

It wasn’t that the Cloud Pattern formed successfully; the Cloud Pattern was naturally unsuccessful. Qin Huai isn’t blind; if the Cloud Pattern succeeded, he would have seen it the moment he cut the roll with a knife.

It was just when handing the roll to Tan Wei’an, from his angle, he felt this design seemed more aligned with human aesthetics.

This Four Happiness Roll was no longer a bizarrely shaped, messy flower roll. It had a uniquely stylish design that, at a glance, looked decently rolled.

At that moment, Qin Huai realized that maybe his Finger Skill had leveled up.

The speed of leveling up Finger Skill proficiency was indeed slow; the last 31 points took Qin Huai over two days to complete. On the first day, he gained 29 proficiency points, but the remaining 2 points were stuck for an entire day without moving, causing Qin Huai to doubt the game system, thinking the attribute panel might be stuck.

Meanwhile, kneading proficiency increased, seasoning proficiency increased, Qin Huai cooked a few plates of yams and Fire Control proficiency increased by a few points, but Finger Skill proficiency remained absolutely stagnant.

One can only say Finger Skill is indeed a very stubborn skill; if it says it won’t level up, then it won’t.

Then Qin Huai stopped paying attention to the attribute panel, not even opening it, and continued to make snacks normally. After having the game system activated for so long, Qin Huai understood a bit about its quirks—it’s completely unpredictable.

Want to brush Fire Control proficiency but end up brushing seasoning; want to brush Knife Skills but end up brushing Fire Control. Lie proficiency is the last thing Qin Huai wants to brush, yet it grows at a blazing speed, with the progress bar value so high it tempts Qin Huai to question how he can tell so many lies in a day.

Now Qin Huai really wants Finger Skill to upgrade to Advanced level, but he clearly knows sometimes the more you want to level up, the more it backfires. Instead, he plans to trick the game system into thinking he doesn’t really want to level up; perhaps then it’ll suddenly happen.

And he did fool it.

Tan Wei’an was still munching on the Four Happiness Roll, sighing while eating, "It’s so strange; just a few days ago I was sick of eating this roll, but after only two days without it, I can’t help but miss it."

"I didn’t even like flower rolls before."

"Why do I think this Four Happiness Roll tastes better than the previous ones? Maybe my dad was right, no matter how delicious something is, you shouldn’t eat the same thing all the time; you’ll get tired of it, causing it to not taste good anymore."

Tan Wei’an continued to ponder over the Four Happiness Roll; meanwhile, Qin Huai simply made a void-click gesture, opening the game panel and flipping directly to the Finger Skill section.

Finger Skill (Advanced level): You can finally make snacks that look somewhat presentable. (7/100000)

Finger Skill really leveled up to Advanced!

The last two proficiency points at Intermediate level were stuck for two whole days, now proficiency grows quickly after leveling up to Advanced level. Of course, it’s not exactly rapid, but one batch of Four Happiness Rolls brushed at least 7 points, which is considerably better than the snail’s pace of not even gaining 2 points in two days.

Tan Wei’an has become very accustomed to Qin Huai’s sudden void-click gestures, asking, "What are you looking at? Checking game missions or proficiency?"

"Proficiency," Qin Huai answered honestly, while silently complaining in his heart that such an honest person as him grows Lie proficiency at an astonishing rate daily, it’s terribly unfair.

"My Finger Skill leveled up," Qin Huai said as he left, heading to find Huang Shengli to ask if the Four Happiness Flower Rolls could be launched a day early and be officially on Huang Ji’s shelves today.

Now many guests of Huang Ji know Qin Huai is about to release a new snack, a uniquely styled, delicious flower roll.

Huang Ji set the official launch date for tomorrow, but Qin Huai, feeling the Finger Skill has leveled up, thought why not launch today instead of waiting for a better time.

Give Huang Ji’s guests a surprise.

He also wanted to see ordinary guests’ feedback on the Four Happiness Rolls with unsuccessful Cloud Patterns. Members had given rave reviews over the past few days, akin to having great scholars speaking for his culinary art.

No one commented on the peculiar design of the Four Happiness Rolls; everyone believes Master Qin must have his reasons for making them this way. Who says flower rolls must look like traditional flower rolls; there’s no rule against making them look artistic.
