Brush Up Your Proficiency

Along the way, Wang Hao simply greeted everyone before appearing in the back kitchen once again.

Li Qiang, seeing Wang Hao appear again, shook his head helplessly and said, "I say, why are you here again? Are you going to make our midnight snack in advance?"

The restaurant's dining hours are basically in the afternoon and evening, ending after closing, but it's obvious that it's still several hours away from closing time, so making a midnight snack is indeed a bit too early.

The back kitchen staff, hearing Li Qiang's helpless voice, also looked at Wang Hao, who had once again arrived uninvited, their eyes expressing the same sentiment as Li Qiang.

"No, no, I just came to see how busy everyone is, and if you need my help. Since you don't need it, I'll go upstairs, haha," Wang Hao said, feeling as if he was being 'disliked,' and chuckled awkwardly.

Then, he took another look and realized that there really wasn't anything for him to do. Everyone was working very smoothly, and the efficiency was even higher than yesterday.

Seeing this, Wang Hao didn't want to stay here any longer and walked back towards the office area.

Along the way, Wang Hao couldn't help but reflect. Although he knew everyone was being genuinely kind, wanting him to rest well, the habits he'd developed over this period made it difficult for him to change immediately. It seemed he still needed to adjust his mindset as soon as possible.

Just as Wang Hao disappeared from the back kitchen, an employee sighed, "No wonder the Third Boss can be the boss. Such a dedicated spirit is not something ordinary people can compare to. If it were me, I probably wouldn't even come to the restaurant today. It's so comfortable to lie at home."

"It's the same. That's why we can't be the boss. We still have to learn from the Third Boss. I really admire him!" Another person echoed quickly.

"Stop chattering. Isn't it because we're not skilled enough, making the Third Boss a little worried? If everyone had the skills of Second Chef Li, who would worry about this?" An old chef bluntly pointed out the essence of the matter.

Li Qiang smiled smugly and shouted, "Stop talking so much! Today we have to perform well and let Haozi know that we're not just here to eat!"

With a chorus of agreement from everyone, the intense atmosphere in the back kitchen was raised to a new level.

Meanwhile, Wang Hao, who was preparing to return to his office, arrived at the third-floor office area and suddenly heard the sound of a erhu coming from Cheng Yufei's office, as if she were playing it herself.

Curious, he knocked on the door of Cheng Yufei's office. As the knock fell, the door opened in response, and Cheng Yufei's puzzled head poked out from inside.

Seeing that it was Wang Hao, Cheng Yufei said with a strange smile, "Oh, our scholar finally knows to put down his book and come out for a stroll."

At this moment, Cheng Yufei and Li Nan were a little tired after being busy downstairs for so long, so they came upstairs to listen to erhu music to refresh their spirits. They didn't expect Wang Hao, who had been reading for an afternoon, to come out as well.

Wang Hao smiled slightly at Cheng Yufei's teasing, without answering.

Looking inside, he nodded to Li Nan, who was standing there smiling at him. Then, he noticed that the erhu music he had played was being perfectly reproduced in the speakers next to her.

Just as Wang Hao was about to say something, he suddenly felt a strange sensation in his spirit. His mental power seemed to be recovering much faster under the influence of this erhu music.

If Wang Hao's natural recovery speed was 2 before, then now it had jumped to 5, and its recovery speed had more than doubled.

At this rate of recovery, Wang Hao, who could barely read for three hours after resting for a while, would find it much easier.

It was just that Wang Hao's own mental power limit was too high. If it were an ordinary person, it was estimated that they would have fully recovered in this period.

But for Wang Hao, it didn't have such an obvious effect, but fortunately, it still improved.

"I didn't expect my erhu music to have this function. Before, my spirit was always full, but I didn't really feel its recovery effect on my spirit. This cheat is giving me another surprise!"

"It seems that I really have to go to the recording studio a few more times when I have time in the future. With this magical function, I can't let go of my erhu skills. Who knows what they might be used for in the future?" Wang Hao couldn't help but think to himself.

"Come in, what are you standing at the door for?" Cheng Yufei asked generously, seeing Wang Hao standing at the door without saying a word.

She pushed Wang Hao in, indicating that he could sit anywhere, while she sat in her exclusive position and looked at Wang Hao with a smile.

"Sit down and listen to your erhu music to relax. After reading for so long, you must be tired, especially with classics like 'Lao Zhuang.'"

Li Nan naturally knew the mental energy required for reading. Although it didn't seem like he was moving much, giving people a feeling of ease and freedom, the mental effort it consumed was the greatest, especially with that classic masterpiece, which consumed even more.

Wang Hao smiled and nodded lightly, then sat down obediently.

Li Nan and Cheng Yufei were like curious babies, constantly asking Wang Hao how he was doing with 'Lao Zhuang,' whether he had any insights, how the erhu was played so artistically, and so on.

Wang Hao also answered softly one by one, ignoring anything that was inconvenient to say.

The three of them chatted like this while quietly appreciating the erhu music, and the whole atmosphere made people feel incredibly comfortable and pleasant.

As soon as the cheat's prompt appeared, Wang Hao immediately stopped reading, and some fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

"It seems that the previous estimate was still somewhat off. If I really only relied on natural mental recovery, I'm afraid I would have to stop halfway through.

I really didn't expect the speed of mental power consumption to become so much faster later on, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Fortunately, listening to the erhu music allowed him to recover a lot of mental power. Even so, he almost didn't make it. In the future, he still has to prepare adequately before acting, and he can't be too blindly optimistic."

The feeling of not being able to listen and the impending exhaustion of mental power just now made him feel a little lingering fear, as if he might have an accident at any time in this state. This feeling in the dark made him have to believe it.

After all, he now has the cheat, this unnatural thing, which may be an arrangement in the dark.

After this incident, Wang Hao kept admonishing himself in his heart that he still had to be more stable in doing things in the future.
