Shi Dadan is even more straightforward; the guy just woke up, and his side quests are practically given to him, like an author forcing in a character when they can't come up with a plot.
So although Qin Huai has been practicing the snacks required for side and main quests during this period, his status has actually been quite relaxed. It's a state where if he can practice, he does, and if he can't, it's no big deal.
Whether it's practicing thickening or honing knife skills, or learning Cloud Pattern results in making egg tarts, it's all acceptable. What isn't learning? What if he stumbles upon a side quest that requires him to make egg tarts in the future, wouldn't that be great?
But Qin Huai didn't expect Shi Dadan to care so much about his side quest, even more than he himself does.
Qin Huai thought for a moment and said, "I think you can give it a try."
