Looking at these two things, Alexander fell into thought.
This was asking him to eat ghosts!
To think that he, Alexander, had always been upright and unyielding, although the ghost was not a human, eating a ghost was something he could never do!
Even if it increased his attributes, even if he could extract...
Wait a minute!
Alexander’s eyes widened.
Extract skills, even talents?
If he cooked and ate the Electrodeath Ghost, could he generate electricity?
If he roasted and ate the Headless Sister, could he also take off his head, play basketball with it and then put it back on?
And what about the Drowned Ghost, Skin-peeling Uncle...
Good lord! Alexander quickly shook his head, casting out the image in his mind of himself carrying his head, extending his tongue, dripping water all over his body, and emitting electricity everywhere.
Closing his eyes, Alexander began to carefully understand the information about Ghost Cooking and Ghost Cook. After a while, he opened his eyes with a look of surprise.
The skill of Ghost Cooking could indeed turn ghost spirits into the purest energy that is easiest to absorb, even retaining their talents and skills.
Of course, not all talents and skills can be preserved, nor is it guaranteed to succeed.
But similarly, Alexander can also control his cooking skills to get rid of unwanted abilities.
For example, the skin-peeling ability of the Skin-peeling Ghost, the water-producing ability of the Drowned Ghost, and the ability to take off the head of the Headless Ghost as if it were a ball.
These can all be discarded, leaving only useful ones, such as the Electrodeath Ghost’s ability to discharge electricity.
Unknown to most, the ability of Ghost Food to retain ghost abilities is not 100%, with a significant chance of failure.
But, strengthening the body is indeed 100%.
What is Alexander lacking the most right now? It’s not Ghost Skills, as there aren’t many among the Chosen who possess Ghost Skills.
What he lacks most is physical strength.
Ghost Energy can strengthen body attributes, but it also requires time.
Alexander’s Ghost Energy grows fast, and his realm rises quickly, but his physical strength simply can’t keep up.
After all, others have had Ghost Energy in their bodies for several months or even years, especially those experienced ones who have had it for years. Even if their realm isn’t high, their physical strength, having been enhanced by Ghost Energy for a long time, is almost over a hundred, far beyond what a newbie like Alexander can compare to.
But with the Ghost Cooking skill, it’s different. Alexander can quickly increase his strength in a short time.
Absolutely delightful!
Delightedly closing the attribute interface, Alexander walked outside.
The time in the restroom wasn’t long, perhaps due to the lingering influence of the Blood Queen, the VIP area was still devoid of people.
It seems like he will have a leisurely day.
The Blood Queen really is a super backing!
Standing beside the bar, Alexander looked at the ferocious evil ghosts sitting at the dining tables. His mindset was vastly different from before.
Previously, Alexander was a ghost master, with a ghost servant named Su Rong, and he had seen many evil ghosts in the Haunted Apartment.
So he was not like most of the Chosen who were extremely fearful of ghosts.
But even so, fear is inevitable.
For example, look at that guy at table 7, stabbed with six, seven, or eight large knives, obviously a gangster who was hacked to death in the underworld, gnawing a heart with blood and flesh flying around in his hands.
And table 4, the head is strangely grown, with a face at the front and also at the back, although both sides are faces, there are no ears, noses, or eyes!
The whole face is just a big mouth in the middle, and with a whoosh, a basin of black and red stuff, which is not known what it is, was poured into the big mouth.
Table 2, with a dog’s head, but definitely not a dog-headed person, because that head of a domestic dog, was brutally sewn on with needles!
What’s more outrageous is that this guy’s brain was sewn with goddamn rainbow cotton thread! It’s as bizarre as it gets!
Table 9 is even more exaggerated, the belly is thrown open, filled with various kidneys.
Yes, if Alexander hasn’t mistaken, those should be kidneys stuffed inside!
Human’s, sheep’s, horse’s, pig’s...
How weak must his kidneys have been when he was alive!
These bizarre ghosts, anyone would tremble at the sight of them. If it were before, even if Alexander was not scared, at the very least he would feel nauseous.
But now!
The perspective is completely different!
Look at the one at table 7, with six, seven, or eight big knives stuck in him, his blood must have been drained clean, he’s ready to be steamed directly!
The one at table 4, the taste of smoked pork face is pretty good!
Table 9 is even better, just get some charcoal going, skewer those kidneys, sprinkle a ton of cumin and Sichuan pepper powder, cover it with a layer of bright red chili powder.
Even the kid next door is drooling!
"Am I seeing things?"
Not far away, Jessica, after serving the guest at table 9 with fear and trepidation, looked at Alexander with doubt and said softly:
"Why do I feel that his gaze is so familiar? Just like...my mom seeing half-priced pork in the supermarket!"
"Who knows, just now I even saw him salivating at my table 4! Maybe he’s hungry, after all, we haven’t eaten since we got here!"
A man passing by said, his face was somewhat pale, and his left hand was nowhere to be seen.
"Hey, you there! Come over!" A man in a chef’s uniform came out of the backyard carrying a large bucket of water. Seeing that Alexander was idle, he waved at him and pointed to the bucket of water, "The Blood Queen just left, you won’t have any guests today! Carry this bucket of water into the kitchen for me, and fill up the pot in the kitchen too!"
"Are you ordering me?"
Alexander raised an eyebrow, looking at this somewhat normal-looking specter.
It wouldn’t be right to eat him directly, after all, he’s in human form, how about grinding him into meat fillings for dumplings?
Ghost meat and green onion fillings should be good!
"You brat!" Seeing Alexander’s dismissive look, the man’s face turned furious, "Seems like after serving the Bloody Prince once, you’ve forgotten your place as a worm. If you refuse to do a little work, do you want to see me lose my temper?"
As he said this, cracks started to appear on the man’s face, his body was filled with roiling ghost energy, spreading like black smoke.
Without saying a word, Alexander immediately pulled out his human-skin-faced chainsaw, and violently pulled the chainsaw.
The chainsaw in his hand let out a buzzing roar, its sharp gears spinning wildly. Holding the chainsaw, Alexander licked the corner of his mouth, looking at the ghost-energy-filled man with a sinister smile:
"Little thing, try speaking to me in that tone again!"
