Kabrakan is the one pinning down the Imoogi that was a Rainbow Trout. His face could be seen being red as the tail fin of the Imoogi hit him a bunch of times. Thankfully, Kanlaon managed to shock the Imoogi and they killed it by extracting its soul with the combined effort of Adrian and Levin Cloud.
Peridot used water and wind magic combined to keep the Imoogi fresh as a dying sea lesser dragon will go bad after a few hours. They needed to transport the thing to Kunlun in order to get the reward, but the difficult thing is that they should not put it in the inventory.
It seems that the Master Chef does not want fish or seafood that is stored inside the inventory as it changes the taste. The group transported the Imoogi using Sirius and Moksha running side by side. There were stares from the citizens of the eastern continent, but they did not dare to steal because they realized that a Ryujin is with them riding a Qilin.
"This place is so cool. There are numerous martial artists and even Immortals that ride on flying swords. No wonder the ones that chose the Martial Artist job path wanted to go to the eastern continent." Levin Cloud stated as this is his first time in Kunlun.
"Where is the restaurant of that Master Chef?" Kabrakan asked.
"We are already here." Adrian stated as they entered an alley in the lower district.
The group stopped at a normal looking restaurant in the lower district. Upon going inside, there are people that have numerous strong auras. It seems like this is the correct restaurant from the description in the forums. All the people eating might look normal, but they are indeed masters.
"Is the chef here?" Adrian asked as that was the keyword needed in order to trigger the quest.
"The chef is here!" A chubby looking man replied.
"We are here for." Adrian stated but he suddenly got cut off.
"I know what you are here for. To bring an Imoogi, as expected of the friend of the Vermillion Bird and the Princess of the Ryujin." The Master Chef stated as he went back to the kitchen. The Master Chef handed a bottle to Adrian as he easily lifted the dead Imoogi to cook in the kitchen.
"It seems that we will have a feast in honor of an Imoogi being caught! Wait for the free dish, great patrons." The Master Chef stated as he returned back to the kitchen.
The group sat down as they were told not to get out yet because they will be treated with food. Food can be clearly tasted in Pandemonium which is why majority of the players are gourmet. In fact, a lot of players spend money on food not only because of taste but also the chance of getting a special effect from it.
"Needless to say, we got what we came here for. It is great that the Master Chef is a no-nonsense person. He immediately knew what we came here to do upon entering his place." Adrian stated as he looked at the small ceramic bottle given to him.

"Thank you for waiting! This is your free meal for the great catch that you have given to me." The master chef stated as he smiled towards the group.
Each of them is given a bowl of fried rice topped with smoky grilled Imoogi. It looked like one of those famous rice bowls being advertised in popular five-star restaurants. The dish even sparkled as if it is made of gold.
All four of them ate the meal with great vigor as they could not contain themselves. They were already salivating just by looking at it but tasting it was a different experience. If they were in a food animation, then their clothes might have exploded out of thin air due to how delicious the rice bowl was.
After inhaling the rice bowl for five minutes, they finished it with smiles, but it also meant that they wanted more. They looked at each other's bowl but none of them had any leftovers which dismayed everyone.
[You have eaten a Five Star Tier Legendary Meal prepared by a Master Chef.]
[You have gained 1 stat point in Strength because of the remaining power in the cooked Imoogi.]
[Kabrakan has gained 1 stat point in Endurance because of the remaining power in the cooked Imoogi.]
[Levin Cloud has gained 1 stat point in Intelligence because of the remaining power in the cooked Imoogi.]
[Peridot has gained 1 stat point in Intelligence because of the remaining power in the cooked Imoogi.]
The eyes of everyone glowed as they experienced the wonderous power of a master chef. It is also one of the reasons why the chef class is one of the most famous sub job classes as they can give a chance of gaining strength from the cooked monster. Even large guilds are investing heavily on players that choose this occupation because of the great benefit of stat points.
"Maybe I should choose being a chef as a Sub Job Class?" Levin Cloud muttered.
"No." Adrian stated.
"Forget that thought." Kabrakan added.
"You love to eat but you have no passion for cooking so delete that thought in your mind." Peridot stated as the final attack.

"Should we head to the mermaid kingdom next?" Levin Cloud asked Kabrakan.
"We should but we should hitch a ride on a boat. We do not have enough flying mounts to carry all of us. It would also be a problem if we encountered sea monsters while flying. Flying monsters are also a problem if we fly too high in the clouds." Kabrakan replied.
"The only boat that traverses the seas near the eastern continent would be from the Imperial Kingdom of Nihon. It is a country that is part of the eastern continent but is more of an island nation like Mahar Lika. The only difference is that it is not under any of the care of the divine beasts." Peridot stated.
"Why is that?" Kabrakan asked.
"Nihon was founded by a great warrior and demigod with the title of Dragon Slayer. The founder is still alive and is the current queen of the island nation. They are also great at maritime warfare and wielding a sword. The founder is also the reason why the Ryujins do not bother him as she killed five back then when some Ryujin disrespected her master and people." Peridot stated.
"Then you should not head there as it would be a big problem then." Levin Cloud stated as he is worried for Peridot.
"Do not worry as the Ryujins have formed a non-aggression treaty with him. She is also a friend of my master which is why I will be safe there. Those five Ryujins were destined to be killed anyway as they made many atrocities." Peridot stated.
"We will not head to the Imperial Kingdom of Nihon anyway. We will jump out the boat halfway in order to go further east to where the merfolk kingdom is located." Adrian stated.
The group boarded a boat, and they did not pay anything as the captain even bowed to Peridot. The three men now knew how powerful a noble could be as they did not spend a single coin. They looked at Peridot as a great free pass in the eastern continent.
"They only did that because of the state of the bottom part of the boat." Peridot stated as the three of them leaned to see what she was talking about.
"Dragon scales. The lower hull of the boat is covered with dragon scales." Adrian stated as he saw shiny scaly texture on the lower part of the hull.
"The scales are given by the Ryujin to all those that have boats. Illegal boats are a different matter, but official boats of the eastern continent have those protecting the hull. Not only does it provide protection from attacks, but it also intimidates any lower monsters of the sea. It is one of the reasons why ships of the eastern continent cannot be sold to any other continent. The dragon scales also lose power after a year or two which is why it is important for us to monitor the boats as well." Peridot stated.
