[Success.]
[Cooking skill, increased.]
"I think it turned well, right?" Blake was now looking at his finished work and nodded with satisfaction.
"Incredible." Collette's voice entered his ears and he didn't understand why she had that expression, but it didn't take him long to understand once she spoke again. "I'm sorry, it's just that your style was impeccable, when I was watching you gave me a feeling as if all your life you had made that same dish over and over again, it was just perfect."
"Well, I don't know what to say, it's the first time I've prepared it, I guess you taught me very well." Blake already knew that everything was the work of the system, but he had to hide it.
"I don't think so, even though I tried to show it to you as best as possible, it would be impossible for you to achieve this kind of level, you probably have a great talent for cooking, Blake. That dish should be enough for your request, just let me add some spices and it will be ready." Blake thanked her again as he saw the extra things she added to the dish and said goodbye, not without first taking a last look at the whole show that there was inside the restaurant.
'I must say it's a unique place.' Having what he needed, Blake made his own way back to the huge mansion to meet both sisters again once he walked through the door.
"I'm back."
"That's bad, hehe." Sofia seemed quite expectant for what she had brought Blake with him.
"I really don't know if it's to your liking, but that's what I came up with, do you like it?" And giving a clear view of the sashimi plate, Sofia's eyes began to sparkle.
"Absolutely not! I am not very grateful!" Sofia took the plate in her hands, eager to start tasting it at that moment.
"So... I guess I did a good job, right?"
"No, take your punishment for the inconvenience!" After leaving the plate in the hands of the golem that was not far away, a small bag that at first glance could be said to be full of coins appeared in Sofia's hand and she handed it to Blake without letting him say anything else. "Now I don't want to see your disgusting face ever again!"
"Should I take that as a thank you?" Blake didn't know how to feel about what he had just heard, but Evelyn helped him fully understand.
"Hehe, just think of the opposite, Blake."
"Ah, that's right, then I guess that was it, I'm glad I helped you, Sofia."
"If you ever come back, I'll hit you with a rusty hoe!" The face of happiness with which Sofia said that was very strange to see actually, her expressions did not match what she had just said, but Blake only needed to think a little to realize the reality.
'I really hope it's the opposite...'
[Request completed.]
Finishing the request, Blake said goodbye again to teleport to his home and take one of the boxes that had just appeared in front of him and open it to receive another of his rewards.
{Needle spear. Level: 1

"This is really nice." Without resisting, Blake had again used teleportation to appear in front of the Privera forest and enter so he could test his new acquisition. It didn't take long for him to come across a lone wooly and in his hand appeared the long spear that looked slightly different from an ordinary one at the same time the voice of the system sounded again.
[Spear equipped. Learned basic spear techniques.]
Just like the time he had equipped his short sword; the system made its presence known and Blake's mind began to generate a series of basic movements of an art that uses the spear as a weapon. After that, he felt really comfortable when he saw it again, it really had the shape of any spear, but instead of ending in just a point that would serve as an attack, its entire length had a thin edge that was enough to damage anything plus its weight was really easy to hold.
He was still appreciative of his new weapon, but when he noticed how the little wooly had already charged in his direction, Blake quickly forgot about everything else and clenched the spear to direct his attack in its direction.
At the moment that both were only a few centimeters from each other, the wooly could only see how some bursts collided with its body doing enough damage so that began to flash.
That little confrontation was enough for Blake to realize the strength of his new weapon, it really seemed to be several times better than his short sword, and noticing how the damage he had done was even greater than what he normally did, was enough to love it even more.
[Spear skill, increased.]
"I should have guessed, now that I think about it, I haven't seen my skills in a long time, how much have they increased?" Blake knew that a part of his strength was thanks to the skills that the system gave him, and in reality, he tried to ignore the notifications that the system showed as they were somewhat annoying, but he knew that, in all that time, he had really grown as his strength also increased.

The big list had once again appeared in front of him making him realize how far he had actually come, but aside from that, a single thought was generated in his head at that instant.
'There are… There are too many!'
