The Game of Life

He was wrong, seriously wrong.

This game, besides unreliable rewards in the culinary aspect, was incredibly reliable in other areas, whether it be romance or career.

Clicking on the question mark, the employee information interface was very similar to the attribute panel, with clean formatting and fonts that were comfortable to look at. The first thing he saw was a row of names, with portraits in front of them that he could click on to view detailed information.

The names were arranged in alphabetical order, and the names of all the staff at Taifeng Building were listed. Since Jiang Feng was not familiar with many of them, and there were even more names he didn’t recognize at all, he just flipped through casually to start with the ones he knew.

Name: Ji Yue

Age: 23

Position: Captain (Lobby)

Loyalty: 99

Skills: Lies (Master Level) Drawing (Advanced) Affinity (Advanced) Fast Walking (Advanced) Heavy Loading (Advanced) Management (Intermediate Level)

Prestige (Lobby) (Management Position Display): 10

Employee Rating: A

Note: Only work-related skills are displayed, red indicates non-upgradable, blue indicates special skills.

Jiang Feng:…

Ji Yue’s drawing skill was highlighted in blue, no red, which, upon review, confirmed she indeed was a hospitality talent delayed by art.

Looking at Ji Yue’s employee information, Jiang Feng began to doubt whether this game was a card game, featuring things like loyalty, skills, and employee ratings. What was key, though, was that Ji Yue’s skills were odd in name, and although they seemed indeed essential for a good waiter upon further thought, their names were rather awkward.

Especially that Heavy Loading, when they ran a serious restaurant!

It’s just that their clay pots were a bit too large.

None of Ji Yue’s skills were highlighted in red, which meant they all had the potential to be upgraded, signifying her as a growth-type deity, at least an SR.

Jiang Feng selected the next profile.

Name: Jiang Weisheng

Age: 63

Position: Cutting Board (Kitchen)

Loyalty: 95

Skills: Knife Skills (Advanced) Fire Control (Advanced) Seasoning (Intermediate Level)

Employee Rating: C

Jiang Feng:…

Jiang Weisheng was truly unfortunate, his three skills were not only mediocre, but they were also all red.

Jiang Feng then randomly flipped through and clicked on the next one.

Name: Fan Mei

Age: 37

Position: Lobby Manager (Lobby)

Loyalty: 76

Skills: Lies (Master Level) Management (Master Level) Affinity (Advanced) Fast Walking (Advanced) Heavy Loading (Intermediate Level)

Prestige (Lobby) (Management Position Display): 60

Employee Rating: A

Fan Mei’s Management and Affinity skills were both red, and her prestige was high. Considering her loyalty as a recently promoted employee, it was also quite decent, making her a solid SR.

Jiang Feng continued scrolling down without pausing, opening the next profile.

Name: Sang Ming

Age: 19

Position: Tray (Kitchen)

Loyalty: 70

Skills: Mahjong (Master Level) Plating (Advanced) Knife Skills (Intermediate Level) Seasoning (Beginner Level) Fire Control (Beginner Level)

Employee Rating: C

Jiang Feng:… Not a single one is red, even Mahjong isn’t red.

Mahjong at a master level…

Indeed, talent abounds—there are endless professions, and anyone can become a chef, whether they’re from Wharton, Capital University, or UAL University; regardless of whether they studied finance, management, or photonics, eventually, they all end up as colleagues in the same kitchen.

Name: Sun Jikai

Age: 24

Position: Furnace Chef (Kitchen)

Loyalty: 60

Skills: Management (Advanced) Knife Skills (Advanced) Seasoning (Advanced) Fire Control (Advanced)

Employee Rating: B

Jiang Feng hadn’t expected it, but Sun Jikai, even with his daily appearance of a constrained dragon awaiting the tide, had a passing loyalty score. Jiang Feng suddenly saw Sun Jikai in a new light.

Name: Wu Minqi

Age: 19

Position: Furnace Chef (Kitchen)

Loyalty: 100

Skills: Knife Skills (Master Level) Seasoning (Advanced) Fire Control (Advanced)

Employee Rating: A

She truly lives up to being my wife! Jiang Feng was bubbling with pride inside as he immediately opened Zhang Guanghang’s information.

Name: Zhang Guanghang

Age: 27

Position: Furnace Chef

Loyalty: 95

Skills: Center of Attention (Master Level) Knife Skills (Master Level) Seasoning (Master Level) Fire Control (Advanced)

Employee Rating: A

Jiang Feng: …

Center of Attention is still a blue special skill; it’d be best to appear less frequently in the same frame as Zhang Guanghang in the future.

Name: Ji Xue

Age: 19

Position: Furnace Chef

Loyalty: 100

Skills: Seasoning (Master Level) Overload Work (Advanced) Knife Skills (Advanced) Fire Control (Advanced)

Employee Rating: A

Overload Work in blue looks so heart-wrenching.

Name: Zhang Weiyu

Age: 24

Position: Tray (Kitchen)

Loyalty: 76

Skills: Ironing (Advanced) Knife Skills (Advanced) Fire Control (Intermediate Level) Seasoning (Low Level)

Employee Rating: B

Jiang Feng: ???

???

Ironing ???

They teach that at Capital University ???

Name: Jiang Jiankang

Age: 49

Position: Furnace Chef

Loyalty: 100

Skills: Knife Skills (Master Level) Seasoning (Master Level) Fire Control (Master Level)

Employee Rating: A

Jiang Feng felt a pang of heartache looking at the three bright red skills in his own dad’s skill column.

Next to Jiang Jiankang’s name were the two sirs, and Jiang Feng’s own name.

Name: Jiang Weiguo

Age: 84

Position: Chef (Kitchen)

Loyalty: 100

Skills: Knife Skills (Grandmaster Level) Fire Control (Master Level) Seasoning (Master Level) Mentoring (Intermediate Level) Management (Intermediate Level)

Prestige (Kitchen) (Displayed with management position): 80

Employee Rating: A

Name: Jiang Weiming

Age: 98

Position: Chef (Kitchen)

Loyalty: 100

Skills: Knife Skills (Grandmaster Level) Fire Control (Grandmaster Level) Seasoning (Grandmaster Level) Mentoring (Master Level) Management (Advanced)

Prestige (Kitchen) (Displayed with management position): 85

Employee Rating: S

Jiang Feng was completely stunned in his seat, not because of the almost terrifying skill levels of the two sirs, but because only their Mentoring and Management skills were red, which indicated that the other skills still had the potential to be bumped up.

Beginner requires 1,000 proficiency, intermediate requires 10,000 proficiency, advanced requires 100,000 proficiency, master level requires 1,000,000 proficiency, and so on—how much does grandmaster require?

10,000,000?

What comes after grandmaster?

Great Grandmaster?

And above the Great Grandmaster?

Culinary Emperor?

Jiang Feng felt that even 1,000,000 proficiency was unreachable, let alone 10,000,000 or 100,000,000. He even doubted if he could ever accumulate hundreds of millions of proficiency even if he practiced in the kitchen for a hundred years.

“Ding, a new optional main quest has been detected. Please select at your discretion.”

Huh?

Main quest?
