Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu lay curled up on the ground and let out a voice of pleasure.

"Ahh~ that was the best food I had in a long time…" Lin Wu said as he rolled on the ground.

Around him, the empty plates and bowls could be seen. All of them had been picked clean and there were no traces of food left. For Lin Wu, bone and meat were the same, thus there were no scraps left when he ate something.

Everything that he ate, no matter how tough, would be ground down by his thousands of teeth that could move like a grinder. The amount of food that Lin Wu had just finished eating could probably feed a couple of thousand people at once easily.

And even now, if Lin Wu wanted to, he could eat more. His current condition was actually created by himself as he intentionally let the system slow down his metabolism. He liked the feeling of satiety and wanted to enjoy it a bit.

"A little sleep coma never hurt anyone… besides the sleep you get after a large meal is just sooooooo~ amazing!" Lin Wu said to himself.

~SHUA~

With that said, he teleported away and the other beasts appeared instead to clean up the dining hall.

The Emeraldine monkey looked at his underlings that were doing their work and was pleased.

"Everyone!" He suddenly said out loud.

"Yes, senior?" The beasts stopped in their spots and looked at him.

"You all did well today! We've been practicing and learning for ten years now and you finally showed master your capabilities. He was really pleased today and happy with your work.

The food was to his liking. But! We cannot stop here. We have to keep on improving! I've read the things that humans can make and we need to make things better than them!" The Emeraldine Monkey stated.

"YES SENIOR!" They all shouted in unison.

"WE WILL IMPROVE EVEN MORE!"

"WE WILL SHOW THE HUMANS BEASTS CAN COOK TOO!"

"WE WILL MAKE THE BEST FOOD IN THE WORLD!"

The beasts all shouted with fervor. A little motivation was all that they needed and they were now fueled to go further. 

What Lin Wu did not know was that in the years he had been asleep, the beasts that were in the cooking department had become really involved in cooking. Many beasts had found passions for it and had joined, while those that did not particularly care for it, decided to leave for other things.

This all happened in the starting two years. But after that, the department had mostly stabilized and the Emeraldine Monkey had become the head chef and the teacher that was teaching everyone.

He had access to the many human texts and records that included cookbooks and many such things, which allowed him to learn many things. He taught this to the beasts, and they quickly caught on.

He didn't do this blindly either, though. He made sure that the beasts only did those tasks that they specialized in. Since different beasts had different bodies and capabilities, they had different jobs.

Over the years, the Head chef had found the perfect structure for the cooking department and now they had all gained a path to go forward. 

Plus, because they worked closely with the farming department, they even helped them and increased the yields as they discovered new ways of using the herbs and fruits.

The Emeraldine monkey looked at his workers and nodded before speaking, "all of you will get one mid grade spirit fruit as a reward for today!" 

A cacophony of different cries could be heard as the beasts rejoice at hearing this. One must know that other than Lin Wu's direct subordinates and servants, the other beasts weren't that strong.

Thus, even getting some spirit fruits was hard for them in the past. But because Lin Wu gave them the farming knowledge, it allowed them to grow even more spirit fruits and herbs than before.

Previously, they could only search for them blindly in the forest, but now they had an almost steady supply of them.

The beasts then continued their clean up of the dining hall and then returned to their workstations. Lin Wu on the other hand, headed to the bedroom that had been made for him a couple of days ago.

"I forgot I even assigned this place to be a bedroom…" Lin Wu muttered as he looked around.

The bedroom was nothing but a large hall that had a few hundred beast pelts stitched together and turned into a mattress. It was stuffed with feathers and all the soft materials that the beasts could find.

'They definitely managed to learn quite a few things on their own.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

Of the ten Emeraldine monkey's one of them was focused on making things like this mattress. He could also make other furniture and objects that could help in daily uses. 

"Well, with my body a bed isn't particularly necessary, but it's still an improvement." Lin Wu said and crawled into the bed before coiling up in a more comfortable position.

He then closed his eyes and fell asleep. This time it was a normal sleep and not like the forced hibernation that he had undergone before. One could count the numbers of times that Lin Wu had slept normally in this world on two hands.

And that mostly happened when he was still a common mud worm a long time ago. After that, he had mostly been forced to sleep or tranquilized.

But now that Lin Wu finally slept, he experienced something he had not yet in this world.

For the first time, he saw dreams!

And since Lin Wu had fallen asleep like this after a long time, he quickly lost himself in the dreams. The dreams were short and quick, not letting Lin Wu think much before they ended. 

He couldn't even count how many dreams he had before he finally woke up.

~yawn~

"That was nice…" Lin Wu muttered.
