When Max entered the kitchen , unlike before, his temperament changed drastically. Before he looked like the next-door brother , easy going but now he is like a king sitting on his throne full of pride and confidence. If someone presents here at the time, they couldn't dare look straight at him. He radiates an aura that makes viewers afraid and revere him. 

Here Max as if he entered the home court. Everything in the kitchen becomes so familiar to him as if he spends centuries cooking here. He knows the positions of all the things in the kitchen to the extent of nano-meter accuracy And it's when he is not fully able to use cooking skills to their fullest potential. The horror of god-level skill is shown again.

"So what should I cook for her?"

Max himself doesn't feel that hungry because of enhancement in stats. Although by logic it is supposed to make him more hungry because of this, the existence of mana fills most of his biological needs. If not for mana, Max will be hungry most of the time because his body consumption will also increase with enhancements. Equivalent Exchange is the absolute law in this universe. 

"Pancakes will be a good choice. That will give her sufficient protein and calories to make up for last night's consumption."

After Max thought a little, He choose to make pancakes because currently that's the best choice of food for her to recover her lost strength quickly. After all, she's gonna need it for the events that are going to happen next.

Max opened a refrigerator to get eggs and butter and gathered all necessary ingredients on the counter. 

There was an egg, sugar, milk, oil, vanilla essence, all-purpose flour, and baking powder. Max also prepared utensils beforehand like a large bowl, frying pan, whisker, etc.

Max looked at a counter and was ready to start cooking. Just like before his temperament changed again, if before he was like a King seated on a throne ruling a kingdom. Then now he is like an incarnation of the god of war who is ready to fight a battle until his last breath. As if everything he owes was put in this trial. Now it's not like simple cooking but looks like a final life and death battle. Everything he has, even his soul is put onto a line.

It's like saying fight every battle as if it's your last one. In Max's case, he will cook every food as if it were his last one. That will guarantee the quality of the food.

Max picked a blow and gently broke the egg in it, then added 1/4 cup sugar, After that followed by 1/2 milk, then 1.5 tbsp oil, 1 tsp vanilla essence. After adding all this in a bowl he started mixing it.

He mixes it in ultra-fast speed and yet his movement doesn't look hasty at all. There is a gentle feeling of rhythm in it. It's like a Musician performing a symphony, Like a painter encapsulating the world, Like a poet depicting the beauty of a lover. 

There is harmony in his every action like a work of art. It's so mesmerizing that the viewer doesn't even care about the food. as long as they can just see this action they will pay any price for it. 

After mixing all ingredients as one body, one soul, Max adds 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1 tsp of baking powder in a mix and whisk it until he gets the right consistency. Ideally, it has to maintain a crucial balance between solid and liquid in the batter, And with Max's skill, It was a piece of cake for him.

He then ignites the gas and puts the frying pan over, adds a little oil, and waits until it's heated up. Flames were on medium-low.

After the pan is heated up, it's ready to put the batter in it. Max took 1/8 of a cup(approx.2 tbsp)  of batter and put it in the middle of the heated pan.
