Introduction: When steak picks up the spatula – anti-routine kitchen carnival
A piece of steak with blush on its face, jumping on the cutting board to cut onions, flip the iron pan, and race against time… “Charlie The Steak” uses the magic setting of “ingredients personification” + “kitchen Shura field” to play the cooking simulation with the excitement of a racing game: you must not only accurately control the frying temperature of the steak, but also operate at the limit when customers urge orders, and even have to carefully manage the restaurant – this is not cooking, it is clearly the steak version of “Hell’s Kitchen”!
Chapter 1 The core of cooking: the devilish details from “raw meat” to “Michelin level”
1. The “trio” of ingredient processing
Cutting stage: click the screen to simulate “swinging the knife”, and the rhythm determines the knife skills! To cut onions, you need to click quickly and continuously (trigger the “shredded” achievement), and to cut steaks, you need to press and hold to accumulate power (control the thickness, thick cutting is more challenging). Flip warning: cutting too slowly will trigger the “ingredients rot” DEBUFF (score – 30%).
Marinating stage: drag the plant spices to the steak, the time bar is a double-edged sword – marinate for 15 seconds to enhance the freshness, but more than 30 seconds will make it sour (need to use the “lemonade” prop to remedy). Hidden tricks: marinate two pieces of meat at the same time to trigger the “parallel processing” achievement, saving 30% time!
Frying life and death game: the heat bar at the bottom of the screen will change from blue (low temperature) → orange (best) → red (burned)! Fillet steak should stay in the orange section for 2 seconds (pink center), and sirloin needs to be quickly turned over twice (lock in the gravy). Click the “extinguish fire” button frantically when it is burnt, and there is a 10% chance of rescuing it into “charcoal grilled flavor” (dark cuisine, customers will be so angry that they will throw the plate, but unlock the achievement).
2. The “metaphysical combination” of side dishes
Not all side dishes can be locked in CP!
Golden combination: asparagus + black pepper sauce (score + 50%, trigger “Soul of Steak” achievement), fried egg + mushroom (unlock “brunch set”, double the price).
Death combination: strawberry jam + steak (customer vomiting animation, reputation – 1 star), raw garlic + no wine (trigger “breath attack”, customers at the next table run away).
Chapter 2 Restaurant Management: From “roadside stall” to “steak empire” ambition
1. Order system: be a “time management master”
Customer orders are divided into three categories:
- Urgent order (red frame): completed within 30 seconds, reward ×2 gold coins, but failed to deduct reputation;
- Regular order (blue frame): 1 minute limit, stable income;
- Hidden order (gold frame): requires “three-rare + rainbow side dishes”, complete to unlock new recipes (such as “Starry Sky Steak”).
Strategy: Prioritize taking blue-frame orders to accumulate capital in the early stage, and then challenge red and gold frames after unlocking the “order queue” function.
2. Equipment upgrade: Spend money wisely
Priority TOP3:
① Smart frying pan (shorten frying time by 20%, say goodbye to being in a hurry);
② Automatic freezer (store double the ingredients to avoid “out of stock” bad reviews);
③ Recipe unlocking machine (randomly refresh hidden recipes every week, such as “magma steak”).
Avoid pit: Don’t upgrade the “neon sign” first! Without efficiency support, increased customer flow will only lead to an explosion of bad reviews.
3. Customer psychology: Word of mouth is more important than gold coins
Waiting for more than 2 minutes → customers leave the store angrily (word of mouth – 1, customer flow on the day – 10%);
Perfect dishes → customers take photos and post them on social platforms (triggering the “Internet celebrity effect”, customer flow + 30% the next day);
5 consecutive perfect orders → unlock the “mysterious judge” (Michelin star rating, direct upgrade to level 2).
Chapter 3 Racing Mode: Kitchen Version of “Fast and Furious”
1. Level Type: “Extending Life” is more exciting than cooking
Peak Robbery: 5 orders come at the same time, and need to be operated in parallel (such as cutting vegetables when marinating meat, preparing side dishes when frying steak);
Ingredients Crisis: A random ingredient is exhausted, and “substitute ingredients” must be used (such as using pineapple instead of onion, score – 20% but can save lives);
Equipment Failure: The frying pan catches fire, the kitchen knife breaks, click the “Repair” button frantically, and recover 10% of the progress every 0.5 seconds.
2. Extreme Operation: Turn “Flip” into “Counterattack”
Turn off the fire 0.5 seconds before burning → trigger the “Extreme Rescue” achievement (score + 10%);
Process 3 orders perfectly at the same time → activate the “Kitchen God” BUFF (the operation must be successful within 10 seconds);
When using “acceleration props”, give priority to the frying stage (the speed of the heat bar movement × 2, precise temperature control is easier).
Chapter 4 Hidden Easter Egg: The “Dark Evolution” of Steak
1. Skin and Appearance: Steak can also play Cosplay
Sauce Skin: Ketchup (bright red appearance, cutting speed + 5%), Black Pepper Sauce (granular special effect, frying score + 10%) – Unlocking condition: Make steaks of corresponding flavors for 7 consecutive days.
Holiday Limited: Halloween “Ghost Steak” (transparent special effect, scare away customers who are quick to urge orders), Christmas “Gingerbread Steak” (attract sweets, tip × 3).
2. Hidden Recipe: “Dark Cuisine” that breaks common sense
Midnight Steak: Log in at 3 am, use “expired sauce + raw onion” to make, trigger the hidden BOSS “Food Safety Inspector”, and unlock the title of “Dark Chef God” after defeating it.
Rainbow Steak: Cook perfectly for 7 consecutive days, choose “red (tomato), orange (carrot), yellow (corn), green (green pepper), purple (onion)” as the side dish, unlock the “Colorful Legend” achievement, and the restaurant will permanently hang a rainbow banner.
Chapter 5: Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls: Don’t Let Steaks Become “Charcoal Balls”
Resource Trap: Don’t stock up on ingredients in the early stages! Freshness will decrease over time (starting to deteriorate on the 3rd day, score -50%), prioritize consuming the inventory.
Operational Mistakes: Don’t pursue “perfect frying” in the racing mode, run away when you pass 60 points, saving your life is more important than scoring!
Attitude Adjustment: Will bad reviews of the business model rebound? Restart the game, and the system will “lose memory” (BUG-level skills, personally tested and effective).
Conclusion: The counterattack of a piece of steak hides the most magical happiness
The most amazing thing about “Charlie The Steak” is that it crushes and reorganizes “the healing of cooking” and “the excitement of racing” – you can enjoy the decompression of the sizzling steak, and you have to let your adrenaline soar in the sound of urging orders. When that blush steak jumps and serves a perfect dish, you will find that the kitchen Shura field can also play out the tenderness of the cultivation system~
