I dominate the entire server with my eating show in the anime world

Another world has arrived, and the evil villain wants to starve the food anchor to death?

Lin Qifan activated the dimensional crossing system, pinched sushi with his left hand to trigger the Food Wars God’s Tongue, and threw a pizza with his right hand to summon the Pirate King Luffy for thirty seconds!

When the Green Tea Daughter overturned the tomato pot, he took out the snail noodle bomb: My friends in the live broadcast room, do you want to get the SSR character in exchange for this wave of dark cuisine three times in a row?

The head maid split the star-gazing pie with a flash of her sword, and the noble emblem was hidden under the dining table; the Straw Hat Captain held up the golden fried rice as a bounty, and new combat power would be unlocked every time the foodie’s points increased by one million.

From the Cooking Master Boy to the Demon Slayer Breathing Technique cuisine, Lin Qifan’s hot pot base is stewing a destiny-changing recipe that will overturn the alien world – this time, the live broadcast reward is aimed at the taste buds of the whole world!

I dominate the entire server with my eating show in the anime world
Chapter 1 System, you are such a jerk!
“Ah! I don’t want to work overtime! I want to play games! I want to eat potato chips!”
A heart-wrenching cry echoed in the small live broadcast room.
Lin Qifan, a dedicated person who makes a living by eating (?
) The anchor finally collapsed gloriously on a table piled with snacks after 72 hours of continuous live broadcast.
“Hiss…where is this?”
Lin Qifan rubbed his swollen temples and slowly opened his eyes.
He found himself lying on a creaking wooden bed, surrounded by dilapidated wooden walls, and the air was filled with a stale and musty smell.
“Isn’t I live streaming? Could it be… that I died suddenly?!”
A terrible thought flashed through his mind, and Lin Qifan shuddered and sat up suddenly.
At this moment, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind:
[Ding! The Dimension Traveler System has been activated! ][Host: Lin Qifan][Current World: Azeroth Continent (Low Magic Plane)][Main Quest: Become the strongest food broadcaster in another world and conquer everyone’s stomach! ][Newbie Gift Pack: Get a free summoning opportunity to summon any anime character for 30 seconds.]“What the hell? System? Time travel? And anime?!” Lin Qifan was completely confused. This amount of information was a bit overwhelming!
As a veteran 2D fan, Lin Qifan is no stranger to the words “system” and “time travel”.
But… this system is too stingy!
Only 30 seconds left to summon anime characters?!
What can you do in 30 seconds?
I can’t even make instant noodles!
Lin Qifan couldn’t help but complain in his mind: “System, you are such a jerk! In 30 seconds, I can’t even finish introducing myself!”
【bite!
The system detects that the host is very dissatisfied. Friendly reminder: You can increase the summoner’s level and extend the summoning time by making special dishes. 】
“Special dishes? I have to make them myself?!” Lin Qifan was even more depressed. “I’m a takeout lover who only knows how to eat, and you want me to cook? You might as well just let me die!”
[……]The system seemed to be choked by Lin Qifan’s self-righteousness.
“Forget it, it’s a system after all, let me give it a try first.” Lin Qifan sighed helplessly and decided to experience this so-called “summoning” function first.
He took a deep breath, concentrated, and said silently in his mind: “Come out, my friend… um… it’s you, Luffy!”
However, a few seconds passed and the room was silent, nothing happened.
“Huh? No reaction? Is the posture wrong?” Lin Qifan scratched his head and tried a few more times, but the result was the same.
“System, are you broken? Why can’t I summon it?”
The host’s current summoner level is LV1 and cannot summon four-star or above characters.
Luffy is a five-star character, please work hard to upgrade his level. 】
“What? There are star levels?!” Lin Qifan almost spat out a mouthful of blood, “Then who can I summon? I can’t summon a slime, right?”
The system suggests that the host try to summon a one-star character, such as: Chibi Maruko-chan in “Chibi Maruko-chan”, Nohara Shinnosuke in “Crayon Shin-chan”…】
“Stop, stop, stop!” Lin Qifan quickly interrupted the system. “What’s the point of summoning these characters? Are they going to play house with me?!”
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He decided to just throw in the towel and say, “I just won’t believe it! I’m going to summon Luffy! Come out, Luffy!!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling golden light suddenly flashed in the center of the room, and then a familiar figure appeared out of nowhere – a young man wearing a straw hat, a red vest, and a sunny smile on his face. It was the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Monkey D. Luffy!
“Ohhh! Meat! I smell meat!” As soon as Luffy appeared, he looked around excitedly, his nose twitching constantly.
“Luffy?!” Lin Qifan widened his eyes, unable to believe his eyes.
Before he could react, Luffy suddenly stretched out his arm, “Rubber rubber–“
“Bang!”
With a loud bang, Luffy’s fist directly penetrated the already shaky wooden door of Lin Qifan’s room, leaving a huge hole in it.
Wood chips flew everywhere, dust filled the air, and the whole room shook a few times.
“Ah! My door!” Lin Qifan cried out in pain. This is his only “home” in this strange world!
Luffy didn’t care. He retracted his arm, scratched his head, and looked at Lin Qifan with a puzzled look: “Hey, who are you? Where is this place? Why is there only such a short time? I haven’t eaten the meat yet!”
“Short…short time?” Lin Qifan then remembered the 30-second limit mentioned by the system.
He quickly jumped off the bed, searched everywhere, and finally found a bag of potato chips in the corner that he had not finished eating during the live broadcast.
“Luffy, eat this first! This is delicious too!” Lin Qifan handed the potato chips to Luffy.
Luffy grabbed the chips, tore open the package, and poured them directly into his mouth.
“Crack, crack…”
The crisp chewing sound echoed in the room.
“Ohhh! Delicious! What is this? Are there any more?” Luffy’s eyes lit up and he looked at Lin Qifan with anticipation.
At this moment, the system prompt sounded again:
[Ding! Feeding Luffy successfully, foodie points +100! ]“Foodie points? What is this?” Lin Qifan was stunned.
Foodie points can be used to redeem various items in the system mall, including ingredients, kitchen utensils, skill books, etc. 】
“There is also a mall?!” Lin Qifan’s eyes lit up. This system didn’t seem so bad after all!
“Hey, is there any more? I want to eat more!” Luffy looked at Lin Qifan eagerly, completely losing his previous temper, just like a well-behaved little follower.
Lin Qifan looked at Luffy’s pitiful appearance and thought, this Luffy is really easy to coax!
However, he doesn’t have time to care about Luffy now. He has to study this system quickly.
As he was thinking, suddenly, a light sound of footsteps came from outside the door, followed by a sweet voice:
“Mr. Lin, your tea…”
The sound stopped abruptly.
At the door, a girl in a simple maid outfit was holding an exquisite silver tray with a cup of steaming black tea and a saucer… an empty saucer?
The girl’s name is Li Yaxuan, and she is the new maid in this shabby cottage… oh no, it should now be called the “holey cottage”.
She has long, shiny black hair, tied into an elegant ponytail with a white lace headband. On her fair face are a pair of big watery eyes that seem to be able to speak.
But at this moment, these beautiful eyes were filled with doubt and… a hint of excitement that was hard to conceal?
Li Yaxuan’s gaze fell on the torn bag of potato chips on the ground, as well as the several golden potato chips scattered on the ground.
She walked forward slowly, bent down to pick up a potato chip, pinched it with her slender fingers, and brought it to her nose to sniff it gently.
A wonderful fragrance that she had never smelled before instantly filled her nostrils, making her swallow her saliva.
“What…is this?” Li Yaxuan whispered to herself, with a slight tremor in her voice.
Lin Qifan’s heart skipped a beat when he saw Li Yaxuan’s reaction.
Could it be that this girl has figured out something?
He coughed calmly and said, “Ahem, that… this is a specialty of my hometown, called… called ‘potato chips’, yes, potato chips!”
Li Yaxuan ignored Lin Qifan. She picked up an exquisite silver fork from the tray, carefully picked up a piece of potato chips and put it into her mouth.
“Crack…”
With a slight crisp sound, the potato chips broke into pieces in Li Yaxuan’s mouth, and a rich salty flavor instantly exploded on her taste buds!
“This…this taste…” Li Yaxuan’s eyes suddenly widened, her pupils slightly contracted, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face, “This crispy texture, this salty and fragrant taste…reminds me of the legendary secret recipe at the royal banquet!”
“Royal banquet? Secret recipe?!” Lin Qifan was shocked. This girl is indeed not an ordinary person!
He was thinking about how to explain when suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.
“Boom boom boom!”
“Mr. Lin! Mr. Lin, are you at home? I’m Lao Wang!” A rough male voice came from outside the door.
Lin Qifan breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be Wang Tiezhu, the owner of the grocery store next door.
He quickly got up to open the door…oh no, to “open a hole”.
“Old Wang, what’s the matter?” Lin Qifan stuck his head out and looked at Wang Tiezhu who was standing at the door.
Wang Tiezhu is a burly middle-aged man with dark skin and a shallow scar on his face. He looks honest and reliable.
He was the only person in the area who was willing to deal with Lin Qifan, a “outsider”.
“Mr. Lin, these are the ingredients you requested,” Wang Tiezhu said, handing a heavy bag to Lin Qifan. “By the way, when I came here just now, I saw a few black-clad swordsmen roaming around nearby. You better be careful!”
“The black swordsman?” Lin Qifan was stunned. What the hell was this?
Before he could ask clearly, Li Yaxuan suddenly rushed behind Lin Qifan and protected him behind her.
“Young Master, be careful!”
There was a hint of nervousness in Li Yaxuan’s voice, and the silver fork in her hand emitted a cold light in the sunlight.
Lin Qifan was startled by Li Yaxuan’s sudden action. Before he could react, he heard a loud “bang” and the window of his room was kicked into pieces by someone from outside!
Wood chips flew and glass fragments scattered everywhere. A masked man wearing a black tights and holding a long sword jumped in from the window.
“Target confirmed, eliminate!” The black-clad swordsman’s voice was cold and hoarse, without a trace of emotion.
“Oh my god! What’s going on?!” Lin Qifan was so scared that he quickly hid in the kitchen.
“Think of a solution quickly!” Lin Qifan was so anxious that he jumped up and down.
He looked through the crack in the kitchen door at the tense scene outside and felt despair in his heart.
Are you going to die just after crossing over?

Just as the countdown reached zero and Lin Qifan was completely hopeless, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Luffy beside him. His mind raced, thinking of Luffy’s ability to use the rubber fruit. At this critical moment, the desire to survive made him calm down instantly, gritted his teeth, and shouted at the top of his lungs:
“Luffy! Now!”
In a flash, Lin Qifan had an idea and shouted loudly!
The roar exploded in the air like a thunderclap.
Almost instinctively, Luffy let out a strange cry and shook his head violently. His rubber head, which was originally different from that of an ordinary person, actually lashed out like a whip!
In the sunlight, Luffy’s rubber head glowed with a faint luster.
“Rubber – whip!” Along with the shout, the rubber head lashed towards the black-clad swordsman with a whistling sound.
This move was so fast and fierce that it directly entangled the black-clad swordsman’s wrist holding the sword!
Lin Qifan seemed to be able to feel the slight resistance when the rubber rubbed against the black swordsman’s wrist skin.
The black-clad swordsman had obviously never seen such a scene before. He was caught off guard and the sword in his hand was deflected by the strange force. The sword tip that was originally aimed at Li Yaxuan just brushed past her hair.
The sound of the sword blade scraping across the hair was like the sound of a gentle breeze.
“Holy shit, what the hell is this thing?!” The black-clad swordsman was horrified. It felt sticky and had a faint smell of rubber, which was simply a mental breakdown!
The smell of rubber, pungent and unique, penetrated into the nostrils of the black-clad swordsman.
How could Lin Qifan miss this golden opportunity? He grabbed the plate of golden potato chips on the table – these were fried by him using the “golden potatoes” produced by the system. These “golden potatoes” were obtained from a mysterious place. Legend has it that this place has an obscure connection with the royal family. It is the ultimate dark dish that is known as “one bite will take away your sanity, and another bite will send your soul flying”!
The potato chips sparkled under the light, looking tempting yet dangerous.
“You old thief! Try this! It’s extremely salty!”
Lin Qifan let out a strange cry and shook his wrist, and the plate of potato chips flew towards the black-clad swordsman like flowers scattered from heaven!
The potato chips drew golden arcs in the air.
The black swordsman was trying desperately to break free from Luffy’s “rubber whip”, but he didn’t expect this to happen.
He subconsciously opened his mouth to block it——
Snap!
A piece of golden and crispy potato chip fell precisely into his mouth.
The crisp sound of the potato chips when you put them in your mouth is crisp and loud.
“Hmm…”
The black-clad swordsman’s body suddenly stiffened.
An indescribable salty taste, as if coming from the depths of hell, instantly exploded in his mouth!
The salty taste hit his taste buds like a tide.
What does that feel like?
It was like pouring a whole bag of salt directly into my mouth, followed by a big gulp of sea water!
It’s like having your mouth filled with the stinky socks of a hundred toe-picking guys at the same time!
More like…
“vomit……”
The black-clad swordsman’s mind went blank. He even forgot that he was carrying out an assassination mission. He just wanted to vomit!
He felt his soul trembling, as if it was being forcibly pulled out of his body by the extreme salty taste!
This… is this food for humans to eat?!
“Now! Yaxuan!” Lin Qifan yelled again.
Li Yaxuan’s tense nerves were finally released at this moment.
A cold light flashed in her eyes, and the silver fork in her hand turned into a silver lightning, and stabbed the black-clothed swordsman’s throat with lightning speed!
The silver fork passed through the air, making a slight sound of breaking through the air.
Phew!
The silver fork accurately pierced the black-clad swordsman’s throat, and blood gushed out instantly.
The sound of blood splashing on the ground was like water dripping into a deep pool.
The black-clad swordsman’s body twitched violently several times. He covered his throat, his eyes full of unwillingness and…confusion?
“This…this saltiness…”
The black-clad swordsman’s voice was intermittent and hoarse like a broken bellows.
“Is… is it an improved version of the royal family’s… secret… recipe?!”
He uttered a few words with difficulty, staring at Li Yaxuan, as if wanting to get an answer from her.
Li Yaxuan’s pupils suddenly contracted.
She stared at the black-clad swordsman, watching his face gradually turn pale due to excessive blood loss, and looking at a faintly visible green emblem under the black tights on his chest that was exposed due to his struggle – it was in the shape of a tea leaf, with a few drops of crystal clear dew on the edge of the tea leaf.
The dewdrops sparkled in the faint light.
“Green tea…”
Li Yaxuan’s voice was low and cold, as if it was squeezed out from between her teeth.
“So… you actually dared to inquire about the royal family’s secret recipe…”
The black-clad swordsman’s body finally stopped twitching.
He fell in a pool of blood, and his eyes, which had been cold and ruthless, were now filled with confusion and… fear?
It seemed that he never understood until his death how he was defeated.
He wasn’t defeated by exquisite swordsmanship, nor by powerful strength, but… by a plate of potato chips?
What the hell is this?!
“Yaxuan, are you…are you okay?”
Lin Qifan’s voice was trembling, with a hint of relief at having survived the disaster.
He walked cautiously to Li Yaxuan’s side, looking at her still cold face, but a sense of warmth inexplicably rose in his heart.
“I’m fine, sir.”
Li Yaxuan’s voice returned to its former calmness, but her slightly trembling eyelashes revealed her inner unrest.
She turned her head and looked at Lin Qifan with complicated eyes.
“Sir, these potato chips…”
“Be careful!” Lin Qifan suddenly shouted.
At this moment, the shadows around seemed to grow thicker, and a gust of wind blew by, bringing with it a new breath of danger.
At the same time, Luffy also rushed over, his body expanding incredibly.
“Rubber-balloon!”
Luffy let out a strange cry, and his whole body swelled up like a balloon, instantly turning into a huge ball of meat, protecting Lin Qifan and Li Yaxuan firmly behind him.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several black shadows shot out from all directions, aiming directly at Lin Qifan!
Those were a few flying knives, with a faint blue light flashing on the blades, and they were obviously poisoned!
The faint blue light exudes a gloomy atmosphere.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The throwing knife hit Luffy’s elastic rubber body, making a series of crisp sounds, and then… it was bounced away!
“Damn! Luffy, your body is so useful! It’s like a human bulletproof vest!” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement. The ability of the rubber fruit is simply a bug!
Lin Qifan usually studies and is familiar with the system props, so he can react quickly at this moment.
“Hehe, that’s nothing!” Luffy laughed triumphantly, but his body remained inflated, observing his surroundings vigilantly, “There are still enemies!”
Sure enough, as Luffy finished his words, several more men in black jumped out from the shadows, holding various weapons and approaching with murderous intent.
“What should we do, sir?” Although Li Yaxuan appeared calm on the surface, there was still a hint of nervousness in her voice.
After all, she is just a “weak woman” who is good at cooking, and fighting is not her strong point.
“Don’t panic, Yaxuan, I have a way!” Lin Qifan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Relevant information about system props quickly emerged in his mind.
He quickly opened the system interface and scanned the dazzling array of props.
“Taste amplifier…it’s you!” Lin Qifan’s eyes lit up and he chose to redeem it without hesitation.
[Ding! Consume 100 foodie points and redeem “Taste Amplifier” successfully! ]A small sprayer filled with colorless and odorless liquid appeared out of thin air in Lin Qifan’s hand.
This is the “taste amplifier” that can amplify the taste of any food several times, or even dozens of times!
“Hehe, let me show you my ultimate dark cuisine, the upgraded version!” Lin Qifan raised an evil smile and quickly aimed the “taste amplifier” at the plate of “golden potato chips”.
“Sizzle——”
There was a slight spraying sound, and the colorless and odorless liquid was evenly sprinkled on the golden and crispy potato chips.
“Luffy, get out of the way!” Lin Qifan shouted.
Upon hearing this, Luffy immediately retracted his swollen body and returned to his normal size.
“superior!”
Lin Qifan gave an order, grabbed a handful of upgraded “golden potato chips” and threw them at the men in black!
“A mere trifle!” A man in black sneered and swung his knife at the flying potato chips.
The potato chips were split in half, but the extremely rich salty taste burst out instantly like a flood!
The salty smell permeated the air, pungent and strong.
“Ugh… Ugh…”
The man in black only had time to let out a scream before he fell to his knees, covering his mouth. His body twitched violently and tears, snot and saliva flowed down his face.
“What the hell is this?!”
“It’s so salty! My tongue…my tongue is melting!”
“Help…Help…”
The other men in black were also affected by the horrible salty smell. They all rolled on the ground, wailing in pain as if they were struck by lightning.
“Hahaha! How is it? My upgraded version of dark cuisine, tastes good, right?” Lin Qifan laughed proudly, looking at the painful expressions of those men in black, his heart filled with the pleasure of revenge.
“This… this is simply a biological weapon…” Li Yaxuan stared at everything in front of her in amazement. She had never imagined that food could have such terrifying power.
At this moment, Li Yaxuan suddenly pulled off a pendant from her maid’s skirt.
It was a silver pendant with exquisite patterns carved on it, and it looked like just an ordinary ornament.
However, when Li Yaxuan turned the pendant over, revealing the inside, Lin Qifan’s pupils suddenly contracted.
On the inside of the pendant, there was a green emblem similar to the one on the chest of the black-clad swordsman before – a piece of tea leaf with a few drops of crystal clear dew on the edge of the tea leaf.
But the difference is that this emblem is surrounded by a circle of golden wheat ears, and the tops of the wheat ears are dotted with a few small rubies.
The ruby ​​sparkled brightly in the light.
This… this is the royal emblem!
“My name is Li Yaxuan,” Li Yaxuan’s voice was low and solemn, with a hint of unquestionable majesty, “I am the illegitimate daughter of the royal kitchen.”
Lin Qifan opened his mouth wide, and he felt like his brain was kind of freezing.
Illegitimate daughter? Royal kitchen?
This is too much information!
He originally thought that Li Yaxuan was just an ordinary noble daughter who disguised herself as a maid to come to him in order to escape the marriage arranged by her family.
But now it seems that things are far from as simple as he imagined!
“Yaxuan, you…” Lin Qifan was about to ask, but was interrupted by Luffy.
Luffy’s expression turned anxious.
“Hey! Lin Qifan!” Luffy suddenly grabbed Lin Qifan’s wrist and shouted, “30 seconds are up!” Lin Qifan was in a brief state of relaxation after the battle, and was startled by Luffy’s sudden pull.
Before he finished speaking, Luffy’s body began to become transparent and gradually disappeared into the air.
“I want to eat spicy noodles next time!” This was the last words Luffy left, and his voice was full of anticipation.
Lin Qifan stared blankly at the place where Luffy disappeared, feeling mixed emotions.
He turned to look at Li Yaxuan and found that the tips of her ears were slightly flushed.
At this time, a man in black struggled to get up from the ground, and he took out a small bottle from his arms with trembling hands…
What exactly is in this small bottle and what kind of crisis it will bring to Lin Qifan and Li Yaxuan is still unknown.
Three things to do when reading: read, collect, and reward!

Chapter 3: Revenge that makes you kneel down (old version)
Lin Qifan came back to his senses and saw the man in black was about to open the small bottle, and he immediately became nervous. He suddenly had an idea and thought of the taste amplifier he had just obtained. He quickly took out a piece of potato chips and carefully applied the amplifier to it. While the man in black was still struggling to get up, he quickly stepped forward and put the potato chip in his hand.
Lin Qifan carefully applied the taste amplifier in his hand onto a slice of potato chips, as if he was performing some kind of ritual.
There was a cunning gleam in his eyes and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he had foreseen what would happen next.
The black-clad swordsman finally struggled to get up from the ground. His face was pale and his hands were shaking.
He used all his strength to take out a small bottle from his arms. When he was about to open it, Lin Qifan had already stepped forward and gently placed the potato chip coated with the taste amplifier in the swordsman’s hand.
“Try this, you will definitely like it.” Lin Qifan’s voice was filled with irresistible temptation, as if inviting the swordsman to step into the abyss of hell.
The black-clad swordsman looked at Lin Qifan in confusion, but his hunger and exhaustion made him unable to think too much.
He hesitated for a moment, but still put the potato chip into his mouth.
As soon as he bit down, his face instantly became distorted, his eyes widened, and he curled up on the ground in pain.
“This salty taste… is worse than death!” The voice of the black-clad swordsman was low and trembling, as if every word he spoke would exhaust all his strength.
His body was shaking violently, and sweat was rolling down his forehead like bamboo shoots after rain.
His throat felt as if it was pierced by countless needles, and every swallow of air was extremely painful.
Lin Qifan watched this scene with a smile, feeling secretly proud.
He had long anticipated that this specially processed potato chip would stimulate the taste buds far beyond what ordinary people could bear.
His eyes gleamed with a triumphant light, as if to say, “I let you be so arrogant, now you know how powerful I am!”
Li Yaxuan, who was standing by, gently picked up a piece of potato chip that was not coated with a taste amplifier with a silver fork and put it in front of her nose and sniffed it.
A satisfied smile appeared on her face, and she whispered, “Adding rose salt will create a perfect balance. The royal secret recipe is indeed worthy of its reputation.”
She put the potato chips into her mouth and chewed them carefully, as if savoring their subtlety.
The corners of Li Yaxuan’s mouth rose slightly, and she looked at Lin Qifan with admiration and recognition in her eyes.
Just then, heavy footsteps were heard outside the door, and Wang Tiezhu walked in panting, holding a large basket of fresh ingredients in his hand.
He had a tired smile on his face, but his eyes were sparkling with excitement.
“Brother Lin, guess what good stuff I brought back this time?” There was a hint of pride in Wang Tiezhu’s voice, as if he was showing off his trophies.
He placed the basket on the table, lifted the lid, and a fresh aroma immediately filled the air.
Lin Qifan and Li Yaxuan both smelled the fragrance and showed curious expressions on their faces.
Just then, a figure wearing a chef’s hat suddenly flashed in from outside the door.
She had a sly smile on her face.
“Let this genius see your recipe!” Xiaomei said loudly, and her hands moved even faster. She actually snatched the potato chips from Lin Qifan’s hand and took a bite without saying a word.
Her expression froze instantly. The moment she bit the potato chips in her hand, her face turned extremely pale and her eyes widened, as if she had seen something incredible.
“This…” Xiaomei was about to speak, but suddenly froze, as if time had stopped at this moment.
Her body trembled slightly, and the potato chips in her hand slipped quietly, making a crisp sound when they fell to the ground.
Lin Qifan and Li Yaxuan both widened their eyes and stared closely at Xiaomei’s reaction. The doubts and uneasiness in their hearts were instantly magnified.
“This… this…” Xiaomei opened her mouth wide, as if she was under a spell, her eyes were as big as copper bells, as if she had seen some incredible monster.
Her face, which always had a sly smile on it, now looked as stiff as a stone sculpture, as if it had been struck by lightning.
“This taste…this texture…” Xiaomei finally found her voice, but her voice was trembling, as if something was strangling her throat, “This is simply…this is simply better than the secret recipe of the master of alien cuisine!”
Lin Qifan raised his eyebrows, feeling secretly proud. This was the perfect combination of modern technology and exotic ingredients, coupled with the blessing of the taste amplifier, how could it not be amazing?
He cleared his throat and said modestly, “Ahem, it’s just a trifle, just a trifle.”
“A trifle?!” Xiao Mei jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She rushed to Lin Qifan, grabbed his shoulders tightly with both hands, and shook them excitedly. “You call this a trifle?! Do you know how many culinary secrets are contained in these potato chips? Do you know how much impact these potato chips can bring to the culinary world of this world?!”
Lin Qifan was shaken so hard that he felt dizzy and almost vomited out the potato chips he had just eaten.
He quickly broke free from Xiaomei’s “clutches”, took a few steps back, and put on an expression that said “I’m not well educated, don’t lie to me.”
Xiaomei took a deep breath and tried to calm her excitement. Her eyes, which were originally smart and cunning, were now flashing with fanatical light, like a hungry wolf seeing fat prey.
“Hey, I’m talking to you…” Lin Qifan felt a little scared when he saw Xiaomei looking like she was going to eat him alive. “Calm down, it’s just a piece of potato chips, why are you so excited?”
“A potato chip?” Xiao Mei sneered, the sound seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, “What do you know? This is not an ordinary potato chip, this is… this is…”
She was suddenly stuck, as if looking for a suitable word to describe the greatness of this potato chip.
Seeing this, Lin Qifan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile.
He walked over to Xiaomei, patted her shoulder gently, and said in a voice full of temptation: “How about joining us? Let’s create more ‘shocking’ delicacies like this together?”
When Xiaomei heard this, she looked down at the broken potato chips on the ground, then looked up at Lin Qifan’s expectant face, as if two little people were fighting in her heart.
“Join you?” Xiaomei licked her lips and smiled meaningfully, “It’s not impossible… But I have one condition.”
“What conditions?” Lin Qifan asked.
Xiaomei pointed at the potato chips on the ground and smiled slyly: “I want these potato chips… they can make me drool!”
Lin Qifan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
He pointed at Xiaomei and laughed so hard that he fell backwards. “Girl, you are really a foodie! Okay, I promise you! As long as you join us, not only will you drool, but I will make you eat until you can’t stop!”
Li Yaxuan, who was standing by, looked at the two of them with a faint smile on her face.
She shook her head gently and thought to herself: These two guys are really a perfect match.
At this moment, a burst of hurried horse hooves suddenly came from a distance, breaking the relaxed and happy atmosphere.
“Da da da… Da da da…”
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and clearer, like the footsteps of death approaching step by step.
Li Yaxuan’s expression instantly became solemn. She tightly gripped the silver fork in her hand, her eyes as sharp as torches, staring at the direction where the sound came from.
She leaned forward slightly, ready to fight at any time.
“Is it the royal envoy… or the revenge of that green tea bitch?” Li Yaxuan’s voice was low and cold, as if it came from the depths of hell.
The night was as dark as ink, covering the entire street.
The street lamps emitted a dim light, stretching their shadows very long.
The black-clad swordsman fell to his knees, his hands on his throat, groaning in pain.
His face was covered with sweat and his body was shaking violently.
The potato chip that was enhanced by the taste amplifier made him feel unprecedented pain.
“Water…water…” The black-clad swordsman uttered a few words with difficulty, his voice so hoarse that it was almost inaudible.
Lin Qifan looked at him coldly, without a trace of sympathy in his eyes.
He walked up to the black-clad swordsman, looked down at him, and revealed a mocking smile: “How is it? Does it taste good? Do you want another piece?”
Upon hearing this, the black-clad swordsman’s body trembled violently, and fear flashed in his eyes.
He shook his head desperately and made inarticulate sounds for mercy.
“Are you scared now? It’s too late!” Li Yaxuan snorted coldly, and the silver fork in her hand flashed a cold light and pierced the throat of the black-clothed swordsman.
“Puff!”
The silver fork pierced the black swordsman’s throat, and blood gushed out.
The black-clad swordsman’s body twitched violently for a few times, and then he collapsed to the ground, completely losing his breath of life.
Li Yaxuan pulled out the silver fork expressionlessly and wiped the blood off it with a handkerchief.
Her movements were graceful and calm, as if she had just killed a trivial insect.
Xiaomei stood there blankly, looking at the body of the black-clad swordsman on the ground, then looked at Li Yaxuan’s cold face, and shivered involuntarily.
She swallowed and tried to calm herself down.
“This… this woman… is so scary…” Xiaomei muttered to herself in her heart.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, as if it was right next to my ears.
Li Yaxuan suddenly stabbed the silver fork in her hand hard into the floor.
Chapter 4: The Royal Order in the Sound of Horse Hoofs (Old Version)
In the distance, the sound of horse hooves came closer and closer. The rhythmic “thump” sound was like a heavy hammer, shattering the tranquility of the courtyard and the cold disguise on Li Yaxuan’s face.
The voice echoed in the silent air, as if carrying an invisible pressure that instantly tightened her heart.
She suddenly pulled out the silver fork that was stuck in the floor. The tip of the fork rubbed against the stone slab, making a sharp “hissing” sound, which was particularly terrifying in this quiet space, like some kind of ominous omen.
The sound was so sharp that it seemed to pierce one’s eardrums, causing her nerves to twitch.
When the fork was pulled out, a secret compartment suddenly appeared on the floor, with a yellowed torn page lying quietly inside.
The edges of the torn paper were already rough, as if they had been rubbed countless times, and felt coarse to the touch.
The paper is slightly yellowed, showing traces of time, as if telling an unknown story.
“This is… my mother’s last wish before she died!” Li Yaxuan’s voice trembled with a barely perceptible cry.
Her voice became hoarse with excitement, and the weak sound drifted in the air, carrying endless sadness and attachment.
She carefully picked up the torn page, gently touching the paper with her fingers, feeling the lines on it, as if she was holding her last treasure in the world.
The torn page trembled slightly in her hand, just like her uneasy heart at the moment.
On the remaining pages, some complex patterns and symbols can be vaguely seen, like some ancient spell or some long-lost secret recipe.
Those lines are twisted and mysterious. Under the dim light, they seem to hide countless secrets, making people want to explore them.
Seeing this, Lin Qifan frowned and said to himself, “Not good.”
Once this royal secret recipe falls into the wrong hands, it will inevitably trigger a dispute over power and wealth.
This secret recipe may contain the power to enable a family to rise, or a method to control some scarce resources. If it is used by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences will be disastrous.
He grabbed the torn page and quickly scanned the contents.
His eyes moved quickly on the torn pages, and his brain was working fast, thinking about how to use this secret recipe to resolve the crisis in front of him.
Wow, it’s actually a royal secret recipe!
If this thing falls into the hands of bad people, the consequences will be unimaginable!
“Yaxuan, stay calm first, I’ll be back soon!” Lin Qifan threw a word at Li Yaxuan, turned around and rushed into the kitchen.
His footsteps were quick and firm, bringing up a gust of wind that caused the air around him to fluctuate slightly.
His mind was racing, thinking about how to use this torn page to resolve the current crisis.
He looked at the taste amplifier in his hand, and images of various ingredients combined with secret recipes kept appearing in his mind.
He thought of the salty aroma of rose salt and the crispness of golden potato chips, and imagined that by combining them with the effect of the taste amplifier, he might be able to create a unique flavor to deal with the situation at hand.
Got it!
He suddenly remembered the “taste amplifier” in the system backpack. This thing is a good thing. It can amplify the taste of food several times, even dozens of times!
Just do it!
Lin Qifan mixed the secret recipe on the torn page with the taste amplifier and began to make a dish that no one had ever tried before – rose salt golden potato chips.
His hands worked skillfully, mixing the various seasonings precisely together, and his focused expression was like that of a skilled chef.
At the same time, the sound of horse hooves in the courtyard had stopped.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, so quiet that I could hear my own heartbeat.
A swordsman in black jumped down from the carriage. He was tall and strong with sharp eyes, and it was obvious that he was not a good person.
When he landed, the ground shook slightly and his black clothes fluttered in the wind, making a rustling sound.
Behind the black-clad swordsman, there followed a mysterious man wearing a birdcage mask. He was wearing a black cloak and his face could not be seen clearly, but he exuded a powerful aura that made people dare not look directly at him.
The black cloak swayed gently in the breeze, making a low “whoosh” sound, as if hiding endless dark power.
“The master is in danger!” Luffy, who was basking in the sun in the yard, suddenly pricked up his rubber ears. He keenly sensed the breath of danger and immediately jumped up, ready to rush into the kitchen to protect Lin Qifan.
His rubber body trembled slightly due to nervousness, making a slight “squeaking” sound.
“Luffy, don’t be impulsive! Wait for me here!” Lin Qifan’s voice came from the kitchen, with a hint of unquestionable majesty.
The voice was clear and powerful, echoing in the air and instantly calming Luffy down.
Although Luffy was extremely anxious, he could only stand there obediently and wait anxiously.
His feet moved restlessly on the ground, his eyes fixed towards the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Lin Qifan has finished making “Rose Salt Golden Potato Chips”.
The golden and crispy potato chips exude an enticing aroma, which is rich and mellow, like an invisible hand, tempting people’s taste buds.
Mouth-watering.
He put the potato chips on an exquisite plate, took a deep breath, and walked out of the kitchen.
When he walked out of the kitchen, the warm, bright light inside contrasted sharply with the slightly dim light in the courtyard.
Everyone around looked at them nervously. Luffy widened his eyes while Li Yaxuan bit her lips tightly.
“Please… please have some refreshments.” Li Yaxuan handed the potato chips to the man in the birdcage mask with trembling hands.
Her face was pale, her hands were shaking slightly because of nervousness, and the potato chips on the plate were shaking slightly.
The man in the birdcage mask slowly reached out his hand and took the plate.
With his slender fingers, he gently picked up a potato chip and placed it under the mask… The air seemed to freeze, and everyone held their breath, waiting for what would happen next…
“Crunch——” the masked man bit the potato chips into pieces.
“Ka——”
The crisp shattering sound was like a thunder, splitting the solidified air.
Lin Qifan frowned slightly, feeling a little nervous, wondering whether these potato chips could achieve the desired effect.
Li Yaxuan’s heart was in her throat. She stared at the masked man, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead.
The hand of the man in the birdcage mask, which was holding the potato chips, froze in mid-air, as if it had been cast under a spell.
His body trembled slightly and a slight gasp came from under the mask.
She knew that this bite of potato chips would determine her life or death.
Time seemed to be infinitely stretched, and every second seemed as long as a century.
Finally, the man in the birdcage mask took action.
He slowly took off his mask, revealing an angular face with an aura of majesty between his brows.
Wait, these eyes… Li Yaxuan’s pupils suddenly shrank. Those narrow and long phoenix eyes, with the tails slightly upturned, were sharp and charming. They looked exactly like hers!
“Where did this bastard come from, and how dare he forge the royal secret recipe?” The man in the birdcage mask spoke coldly. His voice was low and magnetic, but it carried an unquestionable pressure.
He suddenly drew the sword from his waist, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Li Yaxuan’s throat!
A cold light flashed, and the sword blade reflected the cold light, illuminating Li Yaxuan’s pale face.
The breath of death was so close, as if she would die in the next second.
“Stop!” At the critical moment, Luffy roared, and his rubber arm suddenly stretched out, like a flexible python, instantly wrapping around the sword of the birdcage masked man!
“Sizzle–” The rubber and metal rubbed against each other, making a harsh sound and sparks flying everywhere.
Luffy clenched his teeth, veins bulging, and held the sword tightly, not letting it move forward even a bit.
“Mr. Special Envoy, don’t get excited yet, try this!” At this tense moment, Lin Qifan’s voice suddenly rang out, breaking the deadlock.
He walked over with a bulging brown paper bag in his hand, smiling, as if the tense atmosphere just now had nothing to do with him.
The man in the birdcage mask frowned. He wanted to see what tricks this kid of unknown origin could come up with.
Lin Qifan walked up to the man in the birdcage mask and opened the brown paper bag in his hand. A richer and more tempting fragrance wafted into his nose.
The fragrance was overbearing and strong, instantly filling the air, making people unable to help but take a deep breath.
This fragrance is even more overbearing and more alluring than the rose salt golden potato chips just now!
The birdcage masked man couldn’t help but take a deep breath, with a hint of intoxication on his face.
Chapter 5: The Double Attack of Poison Needles and Spicy Strips (Old Version)
The man in the birdcage mask snorted coldly. The sound was sharp and piercing, like an ice knife cutting through the silent air. He was about to attack – however, he did not have the chance to do so.
“Swish——”, the sound was sharp and crisp, like the sound of a sharp blade cutting through the darkness. A figure flashed from behind him, as fast as a ghost. Only a blurry black shadow was seen flashing by.
Then, half a bag of potato chips, accompanied by the crisp and dense sound of “clattering”, was like a sudden salty storm, and the potato chips drew silver arcs in the air and poured out of the window! The color of the potato chips was golden, and it shone with an attractive luster under the light.
This sudden change stunned everyone. Their eyes widened like bells and their breathing stopped instantly.
The black-clad swordsman was caught off guard. He took a breath instinctively – and then he regretted it.
“Cough cough cough… cough cough…” His cough was hoarse and painful, like the unpleasant sound of an old bellows. The dry potato chip fragments were wrapped in a strong salty smell, which was so pungent that it made people sick, like tiny blades, madly cutting his throat and respiratory tract.
“This, this salty taste…” The black-clothed swordsman covered his throat and bent over in pain. His body was like a straw bent by the wind. It felt more uncomfortable than being stabbed by a poison needle. “It hurts more than the poison needle!”
He raised his head with difficulty, and through his blurred vision, he saw a figure standing behind the man in the birdcage mask.
It was a young man wearing casual clothes and looking a bit lazy – Lin Qifan. He had his hands in his pockets, a nonchalant smile on his face, and a sly look in his eyes.
“Cough… cough cough… you…” The black-clad swordsman pointed at Lin Qifan, unable to finish a sentence, his fingers trembling like leaves in the wind.
Lin Qifan shrugged with an innocent expression: “Sorry, my hand slipped.” That innocent look was like a child who had done something wrong but tried his best to deny it.
Slip? No one would believe it!
The black-clad swordsman was furious, but unable to refute.
He felt like his lungs were about to be coughed out, how could he have the strength to fight?
At this moment, Luffy, who had been watching the situation quietly, moved.
“Rubber JET Whip!” Luffy shouted, the sound was as loud as a bell. His right leg stretched out in an instant like a giant python, and with a whistling sound, it wrapped around the waist and abdomen of the black swordsman, and then swung it violently!
“Bang!” The sound was dull and shocking, as if a heavy hammer hit a drum. The body of the black-clad swordsman hit the wall like a cannonball, making a dull sound.
The black-clad swordsman collapsed to the ground in the rising dust. The raised dust filled the air, carrying a pungent earthy smell. He had completely lost his fighting ability.
“Done!” Luffy clenched his fists and grinned triumphantly, revealing his signature smile that was as bright as the sun.
However, the story does not end there.
A petite figure suddenly jumped down from the roof and landed lightly on the ground like a nimble cat, making only a slight “puff” sound when landing.
“I am a genius who wants to study this recipe!” Xiaomei snatched the remaining pages of the secret recipe from Li Yaxuan’s hand, turned around and wanted to run.
“Stop!” Li Yaxuan exclaimed, her voice clear and urgent. She wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Lin Qifan.
“Don’t be anxious,” Lin Qifan winked at her, and the wink was a little playful, “Someone is more anxious than you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a burly figure rushed into the room.
“While they are in a stalemate, quickly exchange the props!” Wang Tiezhu said as he threw a bag of spicy strips to Lin Qifan.
Lin Qifan caught the spicy strips with a quick and decisive movement, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a hint of confidence in his eyes.
“System, start!”
He tore open the spicy strips and was about to put them in his mouth when suddenly –
The remaining pages of the secret recipe in Xiaomei’s hand emitted a dazzling light, which was so bright that it hurt her eyes, like lightning in the daytime.
At the same time, Xiaomei’s eyes turned into a strange golden color, which was like a burning flame, exuding a mysterious aura.
“This… this is…” Lin Qifan looked into Xiaomei’s eyes, an ominous premonition welling up in his heart, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
Xiaomei slowly raised her head, and there was a cold light flashing in her golden pupils, which was like frost in a cold night.
She looked at Lin Qifan with a strange smile on her face.
“The game has begun.” “Chain summoning activated!”
The system’s mechanical but strangely exciting prompt sound exploded in Lin Qifan’s ears, like a strange-tasting bean suddenly exploding in his brain, leaving him stunned for a moment.
Then, he watched Xiaomei, the petite girl like a cat, snatch the spicy strips that he had not yet had time to open and stuffed them directly into her mouth.
“So this is… taste resonance!” Xiaomei narrowed her eyes and savored the taste of the spicy strips. Her tone was filled with a hint of sudden enlightenment, and also with a hint of indescribable… evil? The red oil of the spicy strips flowed down the corners of her mouth, exuding a pungent spicy smell.
Lin Qifan felt his hairs stand up and his scalp went numb.
Taste resonance?
What the hell?
What the hell is going on with this system?
Before he had time to think about it, something even stranger happened.
At this moment, the silver fork in Li Yaxuan’s hand, the silver fork that she usually used to pick up the cake elegantly, suddenly hummed violently, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, making a sharp and piercing sound, which made people’s eardrums hurt slightly.
Then, the birdcage mask that covered the upper half of her face, which looked very impressive, suddenly shattered with a “crack” sound! The fragments of the mask fell like snowflakes, revealing Li Yaxuan’s original face, and… a strange emblem on her forehead.
Lin Qifan was very familiar with this emblem – it was exactly the same as the one worn by the guy who claimed to be a special envoy and the black-clad swordsmen!
“Illegitimate daughter, you have awakened the forbidden formula!” A cold voice, filled with deep hatred, came from behind Li Yaxuan.
Lin Qifan took a breath of cold air.
Illegitimate daughter?
Taboo recipe?
This is a lot of information!
He subconsciously looked at Li Yaxuan, but saw that her face was pale, her lips were trembling slightly, and her eyes were full of shock and…fear?
Damn, this plot is getting more and more outrageous!
Just as Xiaomei squinted her eyes to savor the taste of the spicy strips, Lin Qifan suddenly felt the air around him freeze, the originally bright room seemed to dim, and his heartbeat accelerated involuntarily. He felt uneasy, and before he could react, a series of “whoosh whoosh” sounds came from all directions.
Lin Qifan glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw countless black-clad swordsmen, like evil spirits crawling out of hell, rushing into the room frantically from windows, doors, and even the roof! The figures of the black-clad swordsmen were like a black cloud, covering the room with gloomy horror.
This scene is even more exciting than the zombie siege!
“Fuck! Run!” Lin Qifan grabbed Luffy, who was still confused, and dragged him into the kitchen. The movement was full of strength and urgency.
“System, countdown!” Lin Qifan shouted frantically in his heart while running.
“Tick, tick, tick…” The countdown sound of the system and the “puff” sound of the poison needle piercing the wooden window sounded almost at the same time, interweaving into a life-threatening symphony. The sound made people’s nerves tense.
The kitchen was filled with the aroma of food and a faint smell of…burning? The aroma and the burnt smell mixed together, making people’s noses feel a little uncomfortable.
Lin Qifan didn’t care about anything else. He opened the refrigerator door and poured out all the food inside. The food scattered all over the floor, making a messy noise.
“Luffy, stop them!” Lin Qifan roared, his voice filled with unquestionable determination, and at the same time he began to frantically search for the props in the system backpack.
“Rubber machine gun!” Luffy shouted excitedly, waving his arms like raindrops, deflecting the flying poison needles one by one. The speed of his arms waving was so fast that it was dazzling.
“3…2…1…” The countdown of the system became more and more rapid.
Lin Qifan finally found what he wanted – a bottle of chili oil!
He unscrewed the bottle cap suddenly, and there was a loud and crisp “click” sound. He took a deep breath, and poured the chili oil towards the door!
“ah–“
A shrill scream was heard, mixed with the pungent smell of chili peppers, which was so pungent that it made people cry, and it filled the kitchen.
Lin Qifan narrowed his eyes, looked at the black-clad swordsmen who were blocked by the chili oil at the door, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“Want to catch me? That’s not that easy!”
He turned to look at Luffy, “Come on, let’s go…”
Before he could finish his words, suddenly, a powerful force came from behind him and pushed him out…?
“Lin Qifan!” Li Yaxuan’s terrified cry rang in her ears.
Lin Qifan felt like he was flying, and then… he fell heavily to the ground.
He struggled to raise his head, but saw…
“You…what are you doing?”
Chapter 6: The Fatal Temptation of Chain Summoning (Old Version)
“You…what are you doing?” Lin Qifan was dizzy from the fall. He felt stars in front of his eyes, like countless twinkling little stars dancing in front of his eyes. His mouth was so dry as if a ball of cotton was stuffed in it. The dry feeling made him unable to utter a complete word for a long time.
He struggled to get up. The rough ground rubbed his palms so hard that they hurt. He wiped his face and found that his hands were covered with… chili oil?
The red chili oil gleamed glossy under the light, and the pungent spicy smell instantly rushed into the nasal cavity.
“Fuck! Who the hell is plotting against me?” Lin Qifan was furious, and his angry roar echoed in the kitchen.
Wait…this smells wrong!
In addition to the scorching burning sensation of the pepper, there was also a strange fragrance, like an invisible hand, gently tickling the tip of his nose, tempting his taste buds to secrete saliva crazily.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at the culprit – Xiaomei.
I saw Xiaomei holding half a spicy strip in one hand and covering her mouth with the other hand. Her eyes were as big as copper bells. Her wide-open eyes were shining with a strange light under the light, and there was a golden light flashing in her pupils. She looked like the protagonist in a cartoon with cheats. The golden light seemed to have a mysterious magic that made people couldn’t help but look at her a few more times.
“This is… the legendary… battlefield of taste!” Xiaomei murmured to herself, her voice trembling slightly, yet full of inexplicable excitement. The trembling voice sounded particularly clear in the silent kitchen.
At the same time, a huge projection slowly emerged above the kitchen.
When the projection appeared, there seemed to be a slight humming sound in the air, like a mysterious spell coming from afar.
It was a scene similar to an arena, with gorgeous lights illuminating the surroundings like bright stars. A towering cooking table stood in the center, emitting a cold metallic luster, and there were… a group of… two-dimensional characters wearing chef uniforms?
“Food Wars!? Are they for real?” Lin Qifan was stunned, with an expression of surprise on his face and his mouth slightly open.
At this moment, something unexpected happened again!
A man in a gorgeous robe and with a noble temperament suddenly rushed to Li Yaxuan and hugged her, “Your mother is the greatest cooking genius in the royal family!”
Royal family?
A culinary genius?
The plot is getting more and more outrageous!
Lin Qifan felt like his brain was about to burn, his head was like a tangled mess and he couldn’t sort it out.
Li Yaxuan was also stunned. Her delicate face was filled with shock and… a hint of barely perceptible panic. Her slightly trembling eyelashes revealed her inner uneasiness.
“Let her go!” Lin Qifan shouted subconsciously, but found that his voice was drowned out by the crisp sound of weapons clashing. The crisp sound echoed in the air like a piece of metal collision music.
The black-clad swordsmen had broken through Chili Oil’s defense line at some point, and their sharp sword blades flashed coldly under the light, pointing directly at Lin Qifan and Li Yaxuan.
“Rubber…machine gun!” At the critical moment, Luffy’s iconic roar rang out again, and that powerful roar seemed to be able to penetrate all obstacles.
His rubber-like body stretched out like a spring, blocking all the swords attacking the two men, and his body made a slight “hissing” sound as it stretched.
“Luffy! Good job!” Lin Qifan was excited, and then he remembered the countdown of the system, “30 seconds… Damn it!”
He gritted his teeth, concentrated, and clicked frantically on the system interface, “Luffy! Hold on for another 30 seconds!”
“No problem!” Luffy grinned and waved his arms even harder, forcing the black swordsmen to retreat step by step. The wind created by his waving arms made a whistling sound.
“Lin Qifan! What are you doing?” Li Yaxuan shouted in horror, her voice trembling slightly.
“Trust me!” Lin Qifan had no time to explain. He had to complete the final deployment before Luffy disappeared.
He turned his gaze to Xiaomei, “Xiaomei! Mix your spicy noodles… and… your secret recipe… together!”
Xiaomei seemed to have not yet recovered from the shock of the “taste battlefield”. When she heard Lin Qifan’s words, she subconsciously did as he said.
She mixed the remaining half of the spicy strip with the powder in a delicate small bottle, and then…stuffed it into her mouth!
“Ugh… so… so spicy! But… so delicious!” Xiaomei’s face turned red like a ripe apple, and her face was covered with tears and snot, but she showed an expression of enjoyment.
“It’s done!” Lin Qifan was delighted.
At this moment, Luffy’s figure began to become transparent, “Time’s up… Let’s…eat meat… together… next time…”
“Luffy!” Lin Qifan shouted reluctantly.
As Luffy disappears, the black swordsmen approach again.
Lin Qifan took a deep breath and grabbed the “Twin Cuisine” made by Xiaomei, “Li Yaxuan, catch it!”
Li Yaxuan subconsciously took the “dish”, but before she could react, she heard Lin Qifan yelling… “Eat it!” “Boom——”
There was a loud bang, and it seemed as if the whole kitchen was shaking. The strong vibration made the ground beneath the feet shake slightly.
The space, which was originally quite spacious, now seemed crowded.
In mid-air, a golden cooking table appeared out of nowhere, emitting a dazzling light, like a miracle dropped from the sky, the light was so bright that it hurt people’s eyes.
The cooking table is made of neither gold nor jade, and its surface is carved with intricate patterns. Every detail is so exquisite that it is as if it is a work of art. The patterns sparkle with mysterious colors under the light.
What’s even more strange is that there is a faint golden halo surrounding the cooking table. There seems to be something flowing in the halo. Upon closer inspection, they are actually blurry figures. They are dressed differently, some holding kitchen knives, and some waving spatulas, like a group of busy chefs. The blurry figures appear and disappear in the halo, giving people a mysterious and weird feeling.
This…are we going to transform the kitchen into an arena in another world?
Lin Qifan was complaining madly in his heart, this system was really becoming more and more unconventional!
Before he could finish his complaints, a powerful suction force suddenly came and sucked the envoy and Li Yaxuan directly towards the golden cooking table.
Li Yaxuan screamed and her body flew into the air uncontrollably. Her delicate little face was full of fear. Her neatly combed hair became disheveled, and a few strands of hair fell on her cheeks, making her look even more pitiful.
“Only those who are of the same bloodline can…”
The envoy’s voice suddenly stopped, and he was interrupted by a sudden attack before he could even finish his words.
“Swoosh—”
A poison needle as thin as an ox hair was shot from an extremely tricky angle and accurately pierced the envoy’s throat.
“Well……”
The envoy’s eyes widened instantly and his pupils contracted sharply. He covered his throat, making indistinct whimpering sounds, and his body fell from the air like a kite with a broken string.
Blood gushed out from between his fingers, staining his gorgeous robe red, which looked particularly dazzling under the golden light.
The envoy’s body fell heavily to the ground with a dull sound, splashing up a cloud of dust, which flew under the light and filled the air.
This series of changes happened so quickly and so suddenly that no one had time to react.
Lin Qifan’s pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously wanted to rush forward, but was blocked by an invisible force and could not move forward even a single step.
“Damn it!”
He cursed under his breath, his heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
Lin Qifan looked at the direction where the black-clad swordsman disappeared, his heart full of confusion. What did this sudden retreat and this strange ring mean?
While he was still thinking, a soft touch suddenly came from his wrist.
He looked down and found that Xiaomei was holding his wrist tightly. Her fingers were slender and cold, but full of strength, making it impossible for him to break free.
Xiaomei’s face no longer had the previous confusion and ignorance, but instead had a determined look. Her eyes were sparkling with excitement, as if she had discovered a new world.
“I want to join the foodie alliance!”
Xiaomei said this in a decisive tone, her voice clear and loud, with an unquestionable tone.
Foodie Alliance?
What the hell is that?
Lin Qifan was confused. When did he create such an organization?
At this moment, the system prompt sound suddenly sounded, and… the tone changed?
“bite–“
This time the notification sound was no longer the cold mechanical sound as before, but became… a little… cute?
“Chain summon completion is 90% detected. Do you want to summon an SSR character?”
The system notification sound was playful and even a little excited, like a child who had discovered a new toy.
SSR character?
Chain summons?
What’s this new way of playing?
Lin Qifan felt that his brain capacity was seriously insufficient. After the system was upgraded, there would be too many functions, right?
Lin Qifan was immersed in the chaos in the kitchen when he suddenly heard the barking of dogs and the sound of waves in the distance. His ears seemed to be pulled by something and he looked in the direction of the sound unconsciously. He saw a mysterious beam of light shooting up into the sky in the night. The color of the light kept changing, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, gorgeous and dazzling, as if connecting heaven and earth. The light beam emitted a soft light, illuminating the surrounding darkness.
This… is this… the legendary… summoning ritual?
Lin Qifan’s heart was pounding, and he had a premonition that something even more incredible would happen next.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears, the voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of teasing:
“It seems… I have found a place for tonight’s supper…”
Lin Qifan turned his head suddenly, but he only saw a pair of eyes with a faint glow and a strange smile…
Chapter 7: The Sharp-tongued Girl’s Cooking Battlefield (Old Version)
“This…what the hell is this?!”
Lin Qifan’s eyes widened, and they looked as if their eyeballs were about to pop out. He looked at the dazzling scene in front of him, which was like a sci-fi blockbuster. Colorful lights flashed in his eyes, and his jaw almost dropped to the ground. He heard a “click”, as if a joint was dislocated.
He felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. His eyes were not enough. The surrounding lights stung his eyes and all kinds of strange sounds buzzed in his ears.
“System! System! Come out and explain to me! This… what is going on?!” Lin Qifan called the system frantically in his heart, his voice trembling, and the trembling was like a guitar string being plucked suddenly, echoing in his mind.
However, the system still maintained its aloof attitude, without any response. It was as silent as the deep sea, making Lin Qifan’s heartbeat become heavy.
“Damn it! He failed at the critical moment!” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but swear. The sound echoed in the empty space, carrying endless anger.
At this moment, a figure vaguely appeared in the beam of light.
The figure was tall and burly, holding a huge… kitchen knife? !
Wait, a kitchen knife?!
Lin Qifan rubbed his eyes hard, feeling the rough touch on his eyelids, to make sure he was not seeing things.
“Who… who is this great god? His way of appearance is so… unique?” Lin Qifan’s mouth twitched, and he felt that his three views had been strongly impacted. The impact was like a huge wave hitting his mental defense line.
The beam of light gradually dissipated, and the light and shadow flickered like shattered stars, and the figure became clearer and clearer.
All I saw was a girl wearing a chef’s uniform, a tall hat, and a serious face…? !
“Senbongi…chan?” Lin Qifan called out tentatively, his voice full of uncertainty, and the voice trembled like a leaf in the wind.
“Humph, you still have some knowledge.” The girl raised her chin proudly, her eyes full of disdain, that look seemed to be able to shoot cold arrows, “I am the genius chef of the world of Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma, Senbongi Erina!”
“Food… Food Wars!” Lin Qifan felt that his brain was not enough, and his head was like a mess. “What the hell is this? Is it… a food anime?”
“That’s right! I am a woman standing at the top of the gourmet world!” Erina Senbongi said proudly, as if the whole world was surrendering to her feet. That proud tone was like a queen’s declaration.
“Uh… okay.” Lin Qifan held his forehead helplessly. The warmth from his forehead was transmitted through his palm. He was now completely speechless about this system.
“Hey, that guy!” Senbongi Erina suddenly pointed at Lin Qifan and shouted, her voice as sharp as breaking glass, “Bring that over here!”
“Which one?” Lin Qifan was confused and the muscles on his face were stiff.
“That’s it! The thing that’s emitting strange light!” Erina Senbongi said impatiently. The light flashed with strange colors and stung Lin Qifan’s eyes.
Lin Qifan looked in the direction of her finger, and saw a torn piece of paper on the table with some strange words written on it. The words seemed like an ancient spell, exuding a mysterious aura.
“This… what is this?” Lin Qifan picked up the paper, the rough touch of the paper spread across his fingertips, and he looked at it carefully.
“This is a fragment of a secret recipe page that I accidentally found. It records a magical dish.” Senbongi Erina explained, “But the ingredients on it… I have never seen them before.”
“Oh? Really?” Lin Qifan became interested. He threw the remaining pages of the secret recipe onto the counter. The paper made a crisp sound when it collided with the counter. “Senbongi-chan, use your poisonous tongue tactics to test the ingredients!”
“Humph, do you need me to tell you that?” Senbongi Erina rolled her eyes at Lin Qifan, then pulled out a cooking knife from her waist that shone with a cold light. The cold light flickered in the air, bringing a hint of chill. “Look at me!”
She raised her knife and a silver light flashed, like a meteor across the night sky. A brightly colored mushroom on the table was instantly split into two halves, and the crisp cutting sound rang in her ears.
“This… this is…” Senbongi Erina’s expression suddenly became solemn, and that solemn expression seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds. “This spore toxin… can make people hallucinate delicious food!”
“Illusionary food?” Lin Qifan was stunned, his surprised expression was as if he was electrocuted, “What the hell is that?”
“After eating it, people will have hallucinations and think they are eating the most delicious food, but in fact… they may just be eating a pile of garbage!” Senbongi Erina said gritting her teeth, and the sound of her teeth grinding was like the friction of gears. “This kind of thing… is simply an insult to food!”
“Damn! It’s so dark?” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but exclaimed, and the sound exploded in the space.
“who?!”
Senbongi Erina looked up suddenly and saw a black shadow suddenly appear on the ceiling. The shadow was as eerie as a ghost.
“Hehehe… I’ve been discovered…”
An eerie voice came from the ceiling, like a call from hell. Then, a figure in a black cloak and a mask fell from the sky, and the sound of his landing was like a heavy object hitting the ground.
“Poison chef?!” Erina Senbongi exclaimed.
“Yes, it’s me!” The poison chef laughed proudly, and his laughter was like the cry of a night owl. “How can a mortal crack my illusion cooking?”
As he spoke, he swung the silver fork in his hand and stabbed towards Senbongi Erina. The silver fork passed through the air, making a sharp whistling sound.
“Be careful!” Lin Qifan shouted and wanted to step forward to stop it, but it was too late.
At this critical moment, a red figure suddenly rushed out from the side and stood in front of Senbongi Erina. The figure brought a gust of wind that made people’s cheeks hurt.
“clang!”
There was a crisp metallic collision sound, and the poison chef’s silver fork was blocked by a huge canine tooth. The vibration of the collision made the ground tremble slightly.
“Inu…Inuyasha?!” Lin Qifan was stunned again, his surprised expression as if petrified.
“You bastard, you’re disturbing me while I’m eating barbecue!” Inuyasha roared, waving the Tessaiga in his hand and slashing at the Poison Chef. The whistling sound of Tessaiga was like the howling of a violent wind.
“What?!” The poison chef was horrified and dodged quickly, but several of his poison needles were still cut off by Tessaiga. The sound of the poison needles falling to the ground was like a faint sigh.
“Damn it!” the poison chef said angrily, his angry voice erupting like a volcano, “You guys… How dare you ruin my good deeds!”
“Hmph, stop talking nonsense!” Inuyasha said impatiently, his impatient tone like a raging fire, “Come and fight if you can!”
“Hit me if you want! I’m not afraid of you!” The poison chef was also angry. He took out a handful of poison powder from his arms and sprinkled it at Inuyasha. The poison powder filled the air with a pungent smell.
“careful!”
Lin Qifan and Senbongi Erina shouted at the same time.
At this moment, Li Yaxuan suddenly rushed up, took out a handful of rose salt from her arms and sprinkled it into the air. The rose salt sparkled with a faint luster in the air.
“The Devil’s Burger requires the royal secret…”
“That’s enough!” Senbongi Erina suddenly interrupted Li Yaxuan and snatched the dough from her hand with a fierce movement, “Real cooking depends on strength!”
As she spoke, she slammed the dough onto the chopping board, the sound of which was like thunder, and then began to knead it rapidly.
Her movements were as fast as lightning, dazzling the eyes; all that could be heard was the sound of the dough rolling in her hands.
“This… this is…” Lin Qifan’s eyes widened again, as if he wanted to see everything clearly.
Just as the energy inside the oven gradually gathered, making a slight buzzing sound like the roar of a giant beast, “BOOM!” The oven suddenly spurted out golden flames, and the flames roared towards the ceiling like a dragon. The whole restaurant began to shake violently, and the vibration made the tables and chairs creak.
“Lin Qifan… next… is up to you…” Senbongi Erina said breathlessly, but her eyes were fixed on the oven, revealing determination and expectation.
The oven made a deafening roar, like the roar of a giant beast. The sound was like a sledgehammer hitting the eardrums. Golden flames gushed out like a mad dragon, licking the ceiling. The temperature of the flames made the surrounding air scorching.
A strange fragrance instantly spread, with a hint of sweetness, a hint of spiciness, and a hint of irresistible temptation. The fragrance was like an invisible hand, teasing people’s sense of smell.
“Bang!”
The devil’s burger, or rather, a giant burger that looked more like a devil’s heart at this moment, suddenly exploded in the oven!
It wasn’t the kind of explosion that tore into pieces, but it was like a supernova explosion, rising into the air, expanding, and expanding again!
It exudes an enchanting red light, like a beating heart, pulsating and expanding, and finally with a “boom”, it releases a circle of red shock waves visible to the naked eye!
“Appetite shock!” Erina Senbongi panted, but a smug curve appeared at the corner of her mouth, which was like a smile of victory.
This shock wave is not a physical attack, but acts on the depths of the soul, stirring the most primitive appetite in everyone’s heart!
The poison chef, who was the first to be hit, was originally immersed in the pride of his impending success, but at this moment his face changed drastically.
He covered his stomach, bent over in pain and let out a shrill scream: “This… this feeling of hunger… is more painful than my poison! My stomach… my stomach is going to explode!” He felt like he had fallen into a bottomless pit. The endless hunger devoured his sanity and made him want to swallow everything in front of him!
Even Inuyasha, who always accepted food, showed an expression of disbelief.
He subconsciously covered his stomach, a gurgling sound coming from his throat, his saliva almost flowing out, and the saliva slid down the corners of his mouth and dripped onto the ground with a crisp sound.
He swallowed hard and muttered to himself, “What kind of sorcery is this? It’s actually…even more delicious than barbecue!”
However, the changes did not end there.
Inuyasha suddenly grabbed Luffy’s rubber arm. The rubber felt soft and flexible, which startled him slightly.
Inuyasha was secretly wondering in his heart: “What is this soft thing? Why can’t I pull it apart?” He looked at Lin Qifan in confusion, but found that Lin Qifan also looked confused.
“No!” Inuyasha looked up suddenly, a strong feeling of uneasiness surged into his heart, that uneasiness was like a dark cloud covering his heart.
At this moment, the cold mechanical voice of the system suddenly sounded: “Chain summoning completion rate 95%…”
Above the restaurant’s sign, an even more dazzling beam of light descended from the sky, thicker and more dazzling than any previous one!
This beam of light radiates colorful light, as if connecting to another dimension. A mysterious and powerful force is slowly descending. The light stings people’s eyes, and the oppressive feeling of the power makes people breathe rapidly.
The delicious merchant who was shivering in the corner suddenly had a gleam in his eyes.
He suddenly grabbed a package, which contained special ingredients that he had collected with great difficulty. The package felt heavy in his hands.
He gritted his teeth and threw the package hard at the beam of light!
“Take advantage of the system loophole… to summon SSR!” He shouted hysterically, as if he was betting everything he had, and the shout was filled with madness and determination.
When Erina Senbongi saw this scene, her pupils suddenly contracted.
Her face turned pale and she cried out in shock, “That’s… that’s the sign of the backlash of the Shokugeki no Soma forbidden technique!”
An ominous feeling enveloped the entire restaurant. The air seemed to be frozen, so oppressive that it made people breathless. The oppressive air was like a thick blanket.
“Lin Qifan…” Senbongi Erina turned her head with difficulty and looked at Lin Qifan.
Chapter 8: The Melee Between Tessaiga and Rubber Fist (Old Version)
Erina Senbongi looked at Lin Qifan, her lips trembling as if she wanted to say something. There was a hint of worry in her eyes, and her lips were slightly pale, making her look somewhat pitiful under the light.
Suddenly, Inuyasha’s aura became violent. The surging aura was like an invisible gale, blowing the surrounding air and making a slight “whoosh” sound.
His eyes were filled with anger and pain, and the flames of anger seemed to ignite everything around him. He rushed to the cooking table as if he had lost his mind.
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bang, and the sound was like a sledgehammer, hitting everyone’s eardrums hard, and the poor cooking table was smashed into pieces by his iron fist.
The plates, bowls and chopsticks on the cooking table collided with each other, making a crisp and messy “ding-dong” sound.
“boom–!”
There was a loud bang, like thunder hitting the ground, which made the restaurant windows buzz.
The poor cooking table had just experienced the baptism of the colorful light column and had no time to catch its breath before it was smashed into pieces by Inuyasha’s iron fist.
Sawdust, porcelain pieces, leftovers… all flew everywhere like flowers scattered by a fairy.
Sawdust flew through the air, creating tiny arcs; porcelain pieces fell to the ground with a sharp “click”; leftover food splashed onto the ground with a “puff” sound.
“Hey! You half-demon, what’s wrong with you!” Li Yaxuan exclaimed and subconsciously protected her head, but a few strands of hair were unfortunately stained with the suspicious sauce.
The sauce was sticky and felt a bit disgusting. She wrinkled her nose and smelled a strange smell mixed with various foods.
“Hmph! Who told him to snatch my barbecue with his disgusting rubber hands!” Inuyasha bared his teeth, his iconic canine fangs flashing coldly. He pointed at Luffy, veins bulging on his forehead, and those veins were like earthworms wriggling under his skin.
“It was obviously me who was summoned first!”
Luffy was not to be outdone. His rubber arms stretched out like a spring and tightly wrapped around Inuyasha’s Tessaiga.
The rubber arms made a crackling sound as they stretched, as if protesting against being pulled.
“Hey, what does it matter! I was the first one to see the spicy strips!” He grinned, revealing his signature toothless smile. His saliva was almost flowing down to his chin. The saliva was sparkling, dripping from the corners of his mouth onto the ground, making a “tick-tick” sound.
“The spicy strips are mine!”
“Spicy strips? That’s barbecue!” Inuyasha roared, the sound was like the roar of a wild beast, shaking the air around him.
“Barbecue? That’s spicy strips!” Luffy insisted, his voice filled with a silly persistence.
“Barbecue!”
“Spicy noodles!”
Seeing that a “cross-dimensional” war of the century was about to break out, Li Yaxuan was overwhelmed.
She suddenly had an idea and took out a large bag of potato chips from her storage ring. She tore open the package with a “crunch, crunch” sound. The crisp sound was like a beautiful piece of music. A rich fragrance instantly spread out. The fragrance was a salty smell with a slight oily aroma. It penetrated into everyone’s nose and made people swallow their saliva.
“You two! You two! Stop arguing!” Li Yaxuan took a deep breath and shouted with all her strength, and the sound echoed in the restaurant.
“Eat some of this first! Try something new!”
She grabbed a handful of potato chips and scattered them into the air like fairy flowers.
The golden and crispy potato chips drew graceful arcs in the air and slowly fell like a group of dancing butterflies.
The potato chips sparkled golden in the sunlight and made a soft rustling sound as they fell.
Oddly enough, the two people who were originally at loggerheads stopped arguing at the same time the moment they smelled the aroma of potato chips.
Inuyasha sniffed. The salty, crispy taste was like an invisible little hand, tickling his heart.
His nostrils flared slightly and there was a hint of desire in his eyes.
He subconsciously took a potato chip and put it in his mouth.
“Crack!”
With a crisp sound, Inuyasha’s eyes widened instantly, his pupils dilated, as if he had seen something incredible.
The potato chips broke in his mouth with a crisp sound. The taste was extremely crispy, the salty taste spread on the tip of his tongue, and there was an indescribable umami flavor blooming on his taste buds.
“This…this taste…” He muttered to himself, his voice trembling, “Salty…crisp…and an indescribable umami taste…”
He turned his head suddenly and looked at Li Yaxuan, “What…what is this? It’s even more tempting than the rice made from Platycodon grandiflorum!”
Luffy didn’t bother to grab the spicy strips. He grabbed a handful of potato chips and stuffed them into his mouth greedily.
The potato chips were chewed quickly in his mouth, making a “crunching” sound.
“Oh Yixi! Oh Yixi! (Delicious! Delicious!)” He mumbled in praise while chewing, his eyes sparkling with happiness, “What is this made of? It’s so delicious! It’s even better than the sea king meat made by Sanji!”
“These are called potato chips, a kind of… um… casual snack.” Li Yaxuan breathed a sigh of relief, finally appeasing the two ancestors.
At this moment, the “delicious merchant” who had been hiding in the corner pretending to be invisible suddenly let out a scream.
The scream was sharp and piercing, breaking the original tranquility in the restaurant.
“ah–!”
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Erina Senbongi stepping on the back of the “Gourmet Merchant” and pinning him to the ground.
The “delicious merchant” groaned in pain and struggled on the ground, making a “puff puff” sound of friction.
“Hey, hey, hey, Senbongi-chan, what are you doing?” Lin Qifan was confused. The plot was developing too fast!
Erina Senbongi ignored Lin Qifan. She pointed at the back of the “Delicious Merchant” and said sternly: “This guy is not a food merchant at all! He is from the ‘Green Tea’ organization!” In fact, before this, Erina Senbongi had noticed some suspicious aspects of the “Delicious Merchant”.
His eyes were always wandering, and occasionally revealed a hint of sinisterness.
When Inuyasha and Luffy were arguing, the sneer that inadvertently appeared at the corner of his mouth made Erina Senbongi’s suspicion deepen.
“Green Tea?” Lin Qifan scratched his head. What kind of weird name is this?
His fingers rubbed against his scalp, making a slight rustling sound.
Why does it sound so…indecent?
“That’s right!” Senbongi Erina gritted her teeth and said, “I saw the tattoo on his back! That’s the logo of the ‘Green Tea’ organization!”
The “delicious merchant” – no, now he should be called the “green tea villain” – he struggled to get up, but was pinned down by Senbongi Erina.
His body twisted on the ground, making a creaking sound.
“Damn it! Let me go!” he roared, his voice full of unwillingness and anger.
“Hmph! You wish!” Senbongi Erina snorted coldly and increased the strength of her foot.
The “green tea villain”‘s body was pressed so hard that it made a muffled “humming” sound.
The “Green Tea Villain” groaned in pain. He knew he had been exposed, so he simply stopped pretending.
He suddenly pulled off the mask on his face, revealing a pale and sinister face and a pair of emerald pupils flashing with strange light.
When the mask was torn off, there was a “hissing” sound.
“Haha, little girl, you really looked carefully.” He smiled sinisterly, his voice hoarse and low, as if it came from hell.
“Who are you? What is the ‘Green Tea’ organization?” Lin Qifan asked with a frown. He had a vague feeling that things seemed to be getting more and more complicated.
He came from a special world and had just entered this fantasy world not long ago. He had not yet received any relevant knowledge inheritance, so he knew nothing about concepts such as the “Black Swordsmen” and the “Five Tiger Stars”.
“Who am I? I am the ‘poison chef’ of the ‘Green Tea’ organization – Emerald!” The Green Tea villain, no, the “poison chef” Emerald sneered, “As for the ‘Green Tea’ organization… our goal is to dominate the entire world with the most delicious poison!”
“Dominate the world? Just you guys?” Lin Qifan sneered. Nowadays, there are quite a lot of people with the second-year syndrome.
“Hmph, ignorant boy!” Feicui snorted coldly. He suddenly struggled hard and actually broke free from Erina Senbongi’s suppression.
As his body struggled to break free, the air around him made a whooshing sound.
He took out a small bottle from his arms, which contained some black powder.
The small bottle swayed in his hand, making a slight rustling sound.
“Try this! This is the ‘Despair Mushroom’ that I carefully developed!”
He grinned and scattered the powder in the bottle into the air.
The powder floated in the air, making a “puffing” sound.
“Be careful! Those are the spores of poisonous mushrooms!” Erina Senbongi exclaimed.
“Lin Qifan…” Li Yaxuan nervously grabbed the corner of Lin Qifan’s clothes. The corner of the clothes was a little wrinkled and felt a little rough.
“Rubber, rubber–” Luffy has already assumed a defensive stance.
“Rubber rubber–machine gun!”
Luffy roared, and his arms instantly turned into countless afterimages, blasting towards the drifting black powder like a storm.
The fist wind whistled, and the air seemed to be hit into whirlpools. The spores of the “Soul-Destroying Mushroom” were scattered everywhere by the airtight fist shadow before they could take effect.
The wind from the fist blew on the face, bringing a hint of coolness and making a whistling sound.
“It’s useless!” Emerald grinned, her pale face twisted with excitement. “If you inhale just a little bit of the spores of the ‘Desolate Mushroom’, your whole body will be paralyzed and you will bleed to death! Even if you are made of rubber, you can’t stop it…”
His words came to an abrupt halt before he could finish them, because he realized that Luffy… was actually fine!
Luffy scratched his head, looking confused: “What are you talking about? These black things have no taste at all, not even as good as potato chips!”
Jade’s expression was as if she had seen a ghost.
This…how is this possible?
The “Soul-destroying Mushroom” is his masterpiece that he has carefully developed. Even an S-level adventurer will be unable to resist it!
Is this rubber man a monster?
“Master! Summon quickly! The system has only 5 seconds left!” Luffy waved his rubber arms and urged Lin Qifan anxiously.
When Inuyasha asked Lin Qifan to promise him barbecue, he was thinking that the barbecue was taken away by Luffy before, and he had been angry about it.
Moreover, he hadn’t had a proper meal along the way, so now was a good opportunity to satisfy his appetite.
“Got it, got it!” Lin Qifan also knew that the situation was urgent. He took a deep breath and was about to start the system to summon.
At this moment, a hairy hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.
“Wait a minute!” Inuyasha’s voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of unquestionable dominance.
“What happened again?” Lin Qifan was almost going crazy. It was already this late and yet, one after another, they came to cause trouble!
“Promise me barbecue first!” Inuyasha stared at Lin Qifan, his golden eyes flashing with his obsession with food, “This time, I want to eat ten servings! No, twenty servings!”
“…” Lin Qifan was speechless. Is this guy the reincarnation of a starving ghost?
It’s urgent, and you’re still thinking about barbecue!
“Okay, okay, twenty portions is twenty portions! Let go!” Lin Qifan agreed with gritted teeth. He now just wanted to quickly resolve the troublesome situation in front of him.
Inuyasha then let go of his hand with satisfaction, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile of “evil plan succeeded”.
Lin Qifan didn’t have time to complain, he immediately concentrated and started the system.
In fact, before this, there were occasional slight vibrations around the restaurant, as if something heavy was moving underground.
There was also a faint sense of solemnity and murderousness in the air, but no one paid attention to it.
“System! Give me an SSR! Preferably one that can fight, resist, and attack in groups!”
[Ding! SSR summoned successfully! ]The system’s prompt sounded like the sound of nature, exploding in Lin Qifan’s mind.
The next second, the floor of the entire restaurant suddenly began to vibrate violently.
“Crack…Crack…”
Cracks spread across the floor at a speed visible to the naked eye. They were like a spider web, dense and shocking.
As the crack spread, it made a “sizzling” sound.
“What…what’s going on?” Li Yaxuan was so frightened that her face turned pale. She grabbed Lin Qifan’s arm tightly, and her arm was a little painful from her grabbing.
With a loud bang, the floor collapsed completely and countless black figures emerged from deep underground.
When the figure emerged, it raised a cloud of dust and made a “puff puff” sound.
They were dressed in black uniforms, holding long swords, with expressionless faces, cold eyes, and exuding a murderous aura from head to toe.
“This is… the Black Swordsmen?!” Erina Senbongi exclaimed. She recognized the identity of these people.
“The Black Swordsmen? What is that?” Lin Qifan looked confused, he had never heard of this name.
“They are the elite troops of the ‘Dark Cuisine World’!” Senbongi Erina’s expression became more serious than ever before. “Each black-clad swordsman has strength above A-level! Moreover, what they are best at is… group combat!”
“Group combat?” Lin Qifan blinked. This sounded… a bit powerful!
“More importantly…” Senbongi Erina took a deep breath and added, “The Black Swordsmen are usually led by one of the ‘Five Tiger Stars’ of the ‘Dark Cuisine World’…”
“Five Tiger Stars?” Lin Qifan felt that his brain was becoming less and less sufficient.
At this moment, Erina Senbongi suddenly took out a huge hamburger from her storage ring and smashed it hard on the ground.
“Devil’s burger! Explode!”
“Bang–!”
The hamburger hit the ground and exploded instantly. A thick black smoke quickly spread out.
When the smoke filled the air, it made a whooshing sound.
“This is… the aftermath of the chain summoning!” Senbongi Erina explained, “The explosion of the Devil Burger can purify all negative states! The spores of those poisonous mushrooms should have been destroyed!”
Before Lin Qifan had time to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Inuyasha suddenly exclaim.
“That pillar of light… is the aura of the Four Souls Jade!”
Inuyasha stared at the broken ceiling, his eyes turned blood red and his fangs became sharper.
That colorful beam of light…even though it has disappeared, that familiar feeling is definitely not wrong!
That is… the power of the Four Souls Jade!
Inuyasha felt his heart beating faster and faster, as if something was about to break out of his chest.
“Hey, half-demon, what are you talking about?” Luffy looked at Inuyasha with a puzzled look.
Inuyasha ignored Luffy. He just stared at the ceiling, as if trying to see something through those layers of obstacles.
He suddenly reached out and covered his chest.
There, there is a powerful force that is stirring. That force…
“The Four Souls Jade…is resonating!”
Chapter 9: The Taste Trap of the Four Souls Jade (Old Version)
“The Four Soul Jade is resonating!”
Inuyasha suddenly covered his chest, veins bulged on his forehead, and beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down.
He felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible giant hand, almost crushing it!
The familiar, disgusting evil aura was coming from all directions, madly attacking his sanity.
“Hey, half-demon, are you okay? You look terrible!” Luffy came over carelessly, stretched out his rubber arm and poked Inuyasha’s cheek, “Is the mushroom just now poisonous? Do you want me to suck it out for you?”
“Get away! Don’t touch me!” Inuyasha slapped Luffy’s hand away, his voice hoarse like a devil crawling out of hell.
He stared at the ceiling, his eyes full of vigilance and…fear?
That’s right, fear!
Even when facing Naraku, Inuyasha had never felt such a strong sense of uneasiness.
This power, this power that originated from the Four Soul Jade, seemed to be able to penetrate his soul and completely expose the most vulnerable and darkest side of his heart.
“Boom——!”
At this moment, there was a loud bang, as if the whole world was about to collapse.
The ceiling, which was already shaky, finally couldn’t withstand the huge impact and collapsed completely!
Rubble poured down like a rainstorm, and smoke and dust filled the air, blocking out the sky and the sun.
Lin Qifan was quick to grab Li Yaxuan and hide under a table that was still intact.
“Cough cough cough… What on earth is going on?” Lin Qifan coughed and fanned the dust in front of him with his hands.
“I don’t know…but I feel very bad…” Li Yaxuan grabbed Lin Qifan’s arm tightly, her voice trembling slightly.
Although she usually behaves like a heartless foodie, she is, after all, a daughter of an aristocrat and has seen many big scenes.
But the scene before her was something she had never seen before, let alone even heard of!
The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and a huge emerald-colored beam of light fell from the sky and pierced the ground!
In the beam of light, a huge cooking table can be vaguely seen, which is filled with all kinds of strange-shaped ingredients and kitchen utensils, exuding a mouth-watering aroma.
“Rubber rubber——”
Luffy suddenly roared, and his rubber arms stretched out wildly like a python, wrapping around the emerald light column!
“I want to be an SSR!”
His eyes, full of fighting spirit, stared at the top of the light column, as if there was something there that was attracting him.
Lin Qifan grabbed Li Yaxuan’s hand tightly, and the two looked at each other.
He seemed to have made some kind of decision, “The Foodie Alliance will never fall!”
This sudden shout, like some kind of ancient spell or some kind of fanatical belief, came from all directions of the town, converging into a deafening wave of sound, forcibly suppressing the sinister smile of the green tea villain.
This group of rabble, who would usually fight over a few bites of food, now seemed to be twisted into a rope by some mysterious force. Their faces turned red, veins on their necks bulged, as if they were about to rush up and fight the green tea villain to the death in the next second.
“This…are these unruly people crazy?!” The green tea villain’s smile froze on his face. He felt like a lamb being stared at by a group of hungry wolves. He felt uncomfortable all over.
【bite–!】
At this moment, the system prompt sound in Lin Qifan’s mind suddenly changed its tone. It was no longer the mechanical and cold electronic sound before, but became a kind of… how to put it, a bit like a drunk microphone master in a KTV, with a sense of wildness and unruliness:
[SSR summoning completion rate detected 100%! Do you want to release the ultimate dish? ! ]“Ultimate cuisine?!” Lin Qifan was stunned. When did this system have the ability to perform impromptu rap?
Before he could react, Inuyasha suddenly let out a roar of pain.
“The Four Souls Jade…will attract monsters!”
He suddenly pulled out the Iron Fang from his waist and stabbed it into his chest without hesitation!
“Hey! Are you crazy?!” Lin Qifan was quick-witted and grabbed Inuyasha’s wrist to stop him from self-harming.
“Deal with this green tea villain first!” Lin Qifan glared at the green tea villain in mid-air with gritted teeth, “I’ll explain to you after I finish dealing with him!”
Inuyasha’s
However, Lin Qifan’s determined eyes made it impossible for him to refuse.
“Okay… I believe you!” Inuyasha gritted his teeth and grasped Tessaiga with his backhand.
[Warning: Cross-dimensional contamination detected, about to start…]At this tense moment, the system screen suddenly went black!
Black screen!
Lin Qifan felt like he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood. This system failed at the critical moment. It was even worse than having a stupid teammate!
“What… is going on?” Li Yaxuan clutched Lin Qifan’s arm tightly, her voice trembling slightly.
“I don’t know… but it’s definitely not a good thing…” Lin Qifan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
“La la la ~ la la la ~ I’m a little expert in selling rice ~”
At this moment, a clear and pleasant singing voice floated from afar, like some kind of mysterious spell, or some kind of tempting call.
This song…why does it sound familiar?
Lin Qifan frowned and tried to recall where he had heard this song before…
A muffled sound interrupted Lin Qifan’s thoughts.
He looked down and saw an exquisitely crafted invitation stuck on the wooden door of the restaurant, trembling slightly.
On the cover of the invitation, there was a picture of a huge hamburger. On the hamburger, there was a small flag with a few crooked words written on it:
“Another World Food Festival, waiting for you to join!”
this……
The corners of Lin Qifan’s mouth twitched. What the hell is going on?
“Lin Qifan, listen to me…” Li Yaxuan suddenly spoke with a serious expression.
“This…this is…” Senbongi Erina widened her eyes in disbelief, “The ultimate trial of Food Wars!?!”
As a veteran food anime fan, she is very familiar with this kind of scene!
This is clearly the place where the top chefs in Food Wars! have their ultimate showdown!
But isn’t this a different world? How could a scene from Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma appear here?
Could it be that…
“Hehehe…I finally found it!”
A sinister voice came from above the light column.
Everyone looked up and saw a man in a black cloak with a strange smile on his face, floating in the air.
He is the leader of the black market in this small town, and also the green tea villain that Lin Qifan has always wanted to deal with!
“Lin Qifan, you really have some skills. You can actually activate the power of the Four Souls Jade.” The green tea villain looked down at Lin Qifan with greed in his eyes. “But it’s all in vain! As long as I get your system, the Four Souls Jade and this world will be mine!”
He stretched out his hand, and a black vortex appeared in his palm. The powerful suction force caused the surrounding air to begin to distort.
“Give me the system!”
“Don’t even think about it!”
Li Yaxuan let out a delicate cry, and the silver fork in her hand suddenly stabbed into the ground!
The ground instantly cracked into spider-web-like cracks, and an invisible force spread out in all directions with the silver fork as the center.
“This is… a taste magic that has never been recorded in the secret recipe left by my mother!” Li Yaxuan clenched her teeth, and beads of sweat oozed out of her forehead.
She could feel that this force was competing with the suction of the green tea villain.
However, she also knew clearly that she could not hold on for long.
“Erina! Think of a solution quickly!” Lin Qifan shouted anxiously.
“I got it!” Senbongi Erina suddenly had an idea, “Devil’s Burger and Tessaiga fragments!”
She grabbed the remnants of the demon burger left after the previous explosion with one hand, and snatched a few pieces of Tessaiga from Inuyasha with her other hand.
“Use Inuyasha’s power to strengthen the Chain Summon!”
She fused the two things together violently and threw them hard towards the emerald beam of light!
Another loud bang!
The remnants of the Devil’s Burger and the fragments of Tessaiga burst into dazzling light the moment they came into contact with the beam of light!
This light is stronger and brighter than any previous one!
Chapter 10 Magical Girl’s Taste Bomb (Old Version)
Li Yaxuan told Lin Qifan that this food festival in another world was full of dangers and he had to summon helpers. Although Lin Qifan thought it was outrageous, he had no choice but to try it out. He knew that there were many problems with the previous summoning, so this time he could only pray secretly, and then gritted his teeth and sent a summoning command to the system.
“System, summon me…” Lin Qifan muttered to himself with gritted teeth, praying in his heart that nothing strange would happen this time.
A dazzling white light flashed, and a petite figure appeared in front of Lin Qifan.
She has pink twin ponytails, a fluffy magical girl outfit, and a sparkling magic wand in her hand.
“La la la ~ La la la ~ I’m a little expert in selling food ~” The girl hummed a cheerful song, jumped and turned in a circle, then opened her watery eyes wide and looked at everything around her curiously.
“Huh? Where is this place? There are so many delicious flavors!”
Where is the Pirate King?
Which dimension did this magical girl come from? !
Her elegant aristocratic mask almost couldn’t hold up; the style changed so suddenly!
Now is not the time to worry about the system going haywire, let’s solve the problem at hand first.
“Bang!” With a dull sound, an exquisitely crafted invitation card, which was inserted on the wooden door of the restaurant, trembled slightly.
On the invitation, there was a huge hamburger with a small flag stuck on it, and the words “Other World Food Festival, waiting for you to join!” were written on it.
What the hell is going on!
Before Lin Qifan could react, a sarcastic voice rang out: “Ha, a bad internet celebrity is qualified to participate in the Baiwei Festival? Don’t you think about your status?”
An old man wearing a gorgeous robe and a goatee walked in with a group of arrogant judges. He was the chief judge of the Baiwei Festival.
He looked Lin Qifan up and down, his eyes full of disdain and contempt.
Lin Qifan sneered and was about to open his mouth to refute, but Li Yaxuan beat him to it.
Li Yaxuan gracefully stepped forward and calmly took off her gloves, revealing an exquisite royal emblem: “I guarantee Lin Qifan’s eligibility to participate in the competition in the name of the royal family!”
The chief judge was stunned. He didn’t expect that this seemingly ordinary girl actually had royal blood.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Qifan carefully, secretly thinking something in his mind.
The atmosphere was deadlocked for a moment, and the air was filled with gunpowder.
At this moment, the pink-haired magical girl suddenly jumped down from the cooking table, blinked her big eyes, and asked in a baby voice, “Do you want to help brother defeat the bad guys?”
Before Lin Qifan could react, the magic girl waved her magic wand and tapped the nose of the chief judge: “Everything this uncle eats will become an illusion!”
The chief judge’s face changed drastically, and before he could open his mouth, he felt dizzy and everything in front of him became blurry.
At the same time, a cold voice sounded: “This matcha powder is mixed with poisonous mushroom spores!”
I saw Senbongi-chan had appeared behind the chief judge at some point, with a flash of cold light in her hand, and the teacup in the chief judge’s hand broke, spilling the emerald green tea all over the floor.
There was a faint fishy smell in the air. Inuyasha frowned and sniffed the air: “The stink of a monster… The phantom stone is in that old man’s collar!”
Only then did everyone realize that there was a strange light coming from the collar of the chief judge.
“Ha…” A voice suddenly sounded, breaking the eerie silence. It was Luffy!
He grinned, revealing his signature toothless smile, and his rubber tongue shot out like an arrow, instantly expanding several meters in length and wrapping around the chief judge’s neck in the blink of an eye!
“Huh? You said everything was an illusion?” Luffy asked innocently, tilting his head, but the strength in his hands did not relax at all. The chief judge’s face turned purple, his feet left the ground, and he kept struggling like a fish that was caught on shore.
“Ahem… Let… Let me go…” The chief judge squeezed out a few words from his throat with difficulty, his voice as hoarse as a broken bellows.
Luffy didn’t care about that. He only cared about one thing: “Hey, old man, you just said that everything you ate was an illusion? Doesn’t that mean that you didn’t taste how delicious the food I cooked was?”
“I…I…” The chief judge was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe. His eyeballs were almost bulging out. How could he say anything?
“Hey, Luffy, stop playing and bring that stone over here first!” Lin Qifan looked at Luffy’s “naive” look and held his forehead helplessly. This guy’s train of thought was really unpredictable sometimes.
“Oh, stone?” Luffy then remembered the important matter. He turned his head and looked where Inuyasha pointed. In the chief judge’s gorgeous collar, an emerald stone was emitting a strange light.
“Hehe, watch me!” Luffy laughed strangely, rolled his tongue suddenly, and pulled the emerald stone out of the collar of the chief judge, then with a “whoosh”, threw the stone towards Yue Jianye.
“Can this thing be played as a marble?” Luffy asked curiously, completely unaware of what he had just done.
Yue Jianye caught the emerald-colored stone. It was cool to the touch and had a faint sweetness, like the taste of some candy.
“Marbles? This…” She blinked, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
Lin Qifan looked at the stone, feeling vaguely uneasy.
This stone is definitely not an ordinary thing. The strange energy fluctuations it emits give him an ominous premonition.
“Sweet magic·taste awakening!” Suddenly, Yue Jianye’s crisp voice sounded, interrupting Lin Qifan’s thoughts.
She threw the emerald-colored magic stone high up, waved the magic wand in her hand lightly, and a pink light instantly hit the stone.
“Crack!” With a crisp sound, the emerald-colored stone suddenly exploded in the air, turning into countless tiny fragments that scattered around like a meteor shower.
“Ugh…” The chief judge suddenly covered his throat and began to dry heave violently. His face was as pale as paper, and he looked like he was going to vomit out all his internal organs.
“Why…why should I help Green Tea?” the chief judge said intermittently, his eyes full of confusion and pain, “I…I was actually controlled by her…”
“Green tea?” Lin Qifan keenly caught this key word. He frowned. It seemed that there was a bigger conspiracy behind this food festival.
“Dang—dang—dang—”
Just then, a rapid bell rang suddenly, breaking the chaos in the restaurant.
This bell is the alarm of Baiwei Festival!
“Oh no! Something happened!” Li Yaxuan’s face changed and she exclaimed.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Before anyone could react, several tightly closed windows were suddenly smashed to pieces, and a group of figures dressed in black and holding swords rushed in like ghosts.
“Grab the fragments of the Phantom Stone!” The leading man in black shouted sternly, his voice cold and without a trace of emotion.
The men in black were well-trained and moved swiftly. They surrounded the restaurant in an instant, with the long swords in their hands flashing cold light and filled with murderous intent.
“Damn it! These people are here for the Illusion Stone!” Lin Qifan immediately understood the purpose of these people. He grabbed Yue Jianye’s hand and pulled her behind him.
“Hurry! Hide in the food warehouse!” Lin Qifan shouted in a low and urgent voice.
He quickly glanced at his surroundings and found that the only hiding place was the warehouse filled with various ingredients in the corner of the restaurant.
Lin Qifan protected Yue Jianye and moved quickly towards the warehouse.
The men in black obviously noticed them as well, and several figures immediately pounced towards them.
“Inuyasha! Senbongi-chan! Stop them!” Lin Qifan shouted loudly.
Inuyasha and Senbongi-chan immediately rushed forward and fought with the men in black.
“Ding! Ding! Ding!”
The sound of metal colliding, roars, and screams instantly resounded throughout the restaurant, and the scene was in chaos.
Lin Qifan and Yue Jianye stumbled into the food warehouse, closed the door with their backhands, and propped the door tightly with a heavy wooden box.
“Huh…Huh…” Lin Qifan leaned against the door, breathing heavily, his forehead covered with sweat.
“Brother… who… who are they?” Yue Jianye grabbed the corner of Lin Qifan’s clothes tightly and asked in a trembling voice, obviously frightened.
“I don’t know… but he is definitely not a good person…” Lin Qifan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
Now is not the time to be afraid, we must find a way to get out.
“Ding! Abnormal fluctuations in residual energy of SSR summons detected…”
At this moment, a system prompt sound suddenly rang in Lin Qifan’s mind.
“SSR summons residual energy? Abnormal fluctuations?” Lin Qifan was stunned. What was going on?
Before he had time to think about it, he heard a noisy sound coming from outside the warehouse. It was obvious that the men in black were trying to break in.
“Damn it! We must find a way to stop them!” Lin Qifan cursed in his heart, his eyes quickly scanning the warehouse, looking for something that could be used.
“What should I do…what should I do…” Lin Qifan paced around the warehouse anxiously, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on a rose-colored salt shaker on the counter.
That is Li Yaxuan’s favorite rose salt, which is said to have a unique aroma and taste.
“That voice…” Lin Qifan suddenly remembered that Li Yaxuan was walking towards the cooking table.
Chapter 11: Ultimate Sandwich VS Fantasy Knot (Old Version)
Lin Qifan looked at the rose salt jar, and a trace of panic flashed through his mind. Under the dim light, the rose salt jar was gleaming with a faint and mysterious luster, like a treasure box whose secrets were about to be revealed.
At this time, the sound of the black-clad man outside the door banging on the door became louder. The sound was like thunder, hitting the door of the warehouse again and again, and also hitting everyone’s heart. Yue Jianye was frightened so much that her face turned pale, and her body trembled like a leaf swaying in the cold wind. She unconsciously approached Lin Qifan, and her little hand tightly grasped the corner of his clothes. The touch was like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw.
Lin Qifan was extremely anxious, but his thoughts were becoming increasingly confused. The air in the warehouse seemed to freeze, filled with a suffocating tension, and every breath was oppressive.
The sound of light footsteps was like a stone dropped into a calm lake, breaking the extremely tense atmosphere.
In the corner of the warehouse, Senbongi-chan was quietly observing everything. She crossed her arms and her eyes revealed her unique insights into cooking. She had heard that there would be different dishes in this food competition, so she had been watching quietly nearby.
The sound of the man in black banging on the door hit everyone’s eardrums again and again. The sound became more and more violent, like the angry roar of a wild beast, making people’s eardrums hurt.
Yue Jianye was so scared that she closed her eyes tightly and her body trembled even more violently. Lin Qifan’s brain was working rapidly, but it was like falling into a ball of paste and he couldn’t find any clues.
At this critical moment, the sound of light footsteps broke the deadlock.
Li Yaxuan, she was like a goddess descending from the sky, holding a rose-colored salt shaker in her hand, which emitted a soft glow, illuminating the way forward for her. She walked towards the cooking table with light steps.
The salt shaker emitted a faint glow in the dim warehouse, as if it contained some mysterious power. The faint scent of roses permeated the air, lingering on everyone’s nose.
“Mix my mother’s secret recipe with the magic of Yue Jianye!” Li Yaxuan’s voice was surprisingly calm, as if she was not in danger, but performing a sacred ritual. She twisted her slender fingers lightly, and the rose-colored salt grains fell like stardust, sprinkling on the cooking table, making a slight “rustling” sound, and the fragrance became more and more intense.
“Wait! We need to add mustard sauce to make it more impactful!” Senbongi suddenly came out from the corner and kicked the prepared dough to the ground with a beautiful roundhouse kick. She said confidently: “Believe me, this is definitely a blow to the soul! The spiciness of mustard and the fragrance of rose salt are simply a perfect CP!” As she spoke, she took out a giant tube of mustard sauce from somewhere and squeezed it on the overturned dough. The green color looked particularly strange in the dim light, but it was full of strange temptation, and the pungent smell of mustard also spread.
“Sweet and salty magic, the ultimate sandwich!” Yue Jianye also joined in the preparation of this “dark cuisine”. She waved her magic wand and muttered something. A ball of pink light fell on the golden and crispy bread. The surface of the bread made a “sizzling” sound and exuded an alluring aroma. The aroma penetrated everyone’s nose, making people want to take a bite.
“Hey, hey, hey! I want to try this thing that’s even more tempting than barbecue!” Inuyasha came over at some point, sniffed, drooling, and swallowing with a “gurgling” sound in his throat. “This tastes even better than the rice balls Kagome made!” He said, and was about to reach out to grab the sandwich that exuded an alluring aroma.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the warehouse door was violently opened. A fat, big-eared local dignitary walked in aggressively with a group of men in black. The noise made the windows of the warehouse buzz.
With a look of disdain and disdain on his face, he looked at the strange-looking sandwich on the cooking table and sneered, “Is this low-quality food worthy of participating in the competition? It’s simply an insult to food!” As he spoke, he kicked the cooking table over, and all kinds of ingredients scattered all over the floor. The rose-colored salt grains were also covered with dust, making a “rustling” sound.
At this moment, a deafening cheer suddenly came from outside the warehouse: “Live broadcast of the ranking! Sandwich yyds!” Then, a large group of foodie fans rushed in. They held up their mobile phones, swiped gifts frantically, and formed a human wall to keep the men in black out.
“Whoever dares to touch our idol will have to step over our dead bodies first!” a burly fan roared, his eyes flashing with fanaticism, as if he was ready to sacrifice his life for Lin Qifan at any time.
“Yes! We will support Fan Shen even if we have to eat dirt!” another fan also shouted, his voice full of determination and resolution.
“Fan Shen, we will always support you!” The fans shouted in unison. Their voices gathered into a powerful force that shook the entire warehouse, and even the air seemed to tremble.
Seeing this scene, Lin Qifan felt a warm current in his heart. He took a deep breath and looked forward firmly. He knew that the battle had just begun… Inuyasha frowned, looking at the scattered ingredients, and muttered to himself: “What a pity for this delicacy…” He raised his head suddenly, staring at the fat and big-eared noble with sharp eyes, “You…”
“You…” Inuyasha was about to draw his sword when Lin Qifan held him down.
“Leave it to me.” Lin Qifan’s voice was soft, but with unquestionable firmness.
He slowly walked up to the nobleman, picked up a piece of dusty bread, gently blew off the dust on it, and then, in front of everyone’s shocked eyes, put it into his mouth.
“The taste… is not bad.” Lin Qifan narrowed his eyes and savored it carefully. “Although the appearance is a little bit worse, the content is the most important, isn’t it?” He raised his head, his eyes like a knife, piercing straight at the dignitary, “Just like some people, they look bright and beautiful on the outside, but they are rotten and smelly on the inside!”
The rich man was frightened by Lin Qifan’s gaze. He shouted fiercely, “You…what nonsense are you talking about! Security! Arrest this lunatic!”
The men in black rushed forward but were stopped by the fans.
“Who dares to touch the mortal god!” “We will fight you!” The enthusiasm of the fans erupted like a volcano, drowning the man in black in the crowd.
In the chaos, Yue Jianye secretly sent out a special magical distress signal in his heart. At this moment of chaos, a figure passed through the crowd like a ghost and went straight to the cooking table.
It’s the black-clad swordsman who has been hiding in the dark!
His target turned out to be Yue Jianye!
“Be careful!” Lin Qifan exclaimed, but it was too late.
At the critical moment, a strong arm suddenly fell from the sky, stretched infinitely like a rubber band, and pulled Yue Jianye back.
“Luffy!” Lin Qifan shouted in surprise.
“Hey! Brother Fan, I’m here to help!” Luffy grinned, revealing his signature sunny smile.
He stood in front of Yue Jianye with his arms open, like a solid shield, protecting her behind him.
“Rubber rubber – balloon!” Luffy took a deep breath, and his body instantly swelled into a huge balloon, covering the entire cooking table.
“Haaa! This illusion tastes like spicy noodles!” Luffy suddenly shouted, scaring everyone.
It turned out that the powerful noble, seeing that the situation was not good, actually activated the Illusionary Flavor Barrier!
The entire warehouse was shrouded in an invisible barrier, which was filled with the smell of various foods, but the strongest smell was the smell of spicy strips. The smell was pungent and strong, and went straight into the nasal cavity.
“Damn it! This smell is too strong!” Luffy covered his nose and said in pain, “My nose is about to fail!”
“Luffy, hold on!” Lin Qifan shouted anxiously, “I need time!”
“Leave it to me!” Senbongi-chan appeared out of nowhere, holding a sharp blade in her hand, drawing a beautiful arc in the air. The blade flashed a cool light under the light and made a slight “buzzing” sound.
“Catch it! Use the fragments of the Fantasy Stone as seasoning!” She threw the blade to Lin Qifan and shouted loudly.
Lin Qifan took the blade and saw a strange light flashing on it. This was exactly the fragment of the phantom stone that the powerful man had used to cast an illusion!
“So that’s it!” Lin Qifan suddenly realized, “Fight poison with poison, and use illusion to fight illusion!” He took a deep breath and sprinkled the fragments of the illusion stone on the remaining ingredients.
At the same time, Yue Jianye also completed the final preparations.
She carefully picked up the sandwich that was “contaminated” by various “dark” seasonings and walked to the chief judge.
“Chief judge, please taste it!” Yue Jianye’s voice was a little trembling, but his eyes were extremely firm.
The chief judge looked at the unattractive and even somewhat “scary” sandwich in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and finally opened his mouth.
“The taste of truth·Awakening!” Yue Jianye whispered softly, and the magic wand in his hand emitted a dazzling light.
As the sandwich entered his mouth, the chief judge’s expression froze instantly.
He frowned at first, then was surprised, and finally… cried!
“Wow…my daughter…my daughter has been taken hostage by Green Tea!” The chief judge suddenly held his head and burst into tears. His voice was hoarse and full of despair and pain.
“What?!” Everyone was shocked.
It turns out that this so-called “food competition” is actually a huge conspiracy!
That powerful person used the Illusionary Flavour Barrier to control the chief judge and made him choose the “champion” he designated. However, his real purpose was to cover up his crime of kidnapping the chief judge’s daughter!
“Damn it!” Lin Qifan was furious. “You actually use delicious food to do such a despicable thing!”
At this moment, the black-clad swordsmen suddenly launched an attack!
They shot countless poisonous needles from all directions, aiming directly at Yue Jianye!
“Destroy that magical girl for me!” The nobleman roared madly, his face full of hideousness and madness.
“Be careful!” Lin Qifan shouted and wanted to rush over to protect Yue Jianye, but he was entangled by the man in black and couldn’t get away.
“You bastards…” Inuyasha roared and stabbed Tessaiga into the ground, “The purifying power of the Shikon Jewel!”
A dazzling light burst out from Tessaiga, instantly illuminating the entire warehouse, even penetrating the Illusionary Flavour Barrier and soaring into the sky!
Wherever the light passed, the poison needles turned into powder, and the black-clad swordsmen let out painful howls and fell to the ground one after another.
“What kind of power is this?!” The noble looked at everything in front of him in horror, and his body began to tremble.
“It seems that your conspiracy has come to an end here.” Lin Qifan looked at the powerful man coldly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
“No…no…I still have…” Quan Gui wanted to struggle. He took out a porcelain bowl from his arms with trembling hands. The bowl was filled with soup of a strange color.
“Go to hell, you foodies…” The voices of the local dignitaries came to an abrupt end.
Chapter 12: The Poisonous Mushroom Soup Behind the Powerful (Old Version)
“Go to hell, you foodies…” The sharp and piercing voice of the local dignitaries came to an abrupt end, as if it was instantly cut off by an invisible pair of scissors.
The porcelain bowl in his hand, which was painted with exquisite patterns and had a warm luster, was kicked away by Lin Qifan. It drew an arc in the air, and fell to the ground with a “clang”, with fragments flying everywhere.
But this old fox was obviously prepared, and the kicked porcelain bowl was just a clever trick!
His real killer move is the spray bottle hidden in his black long sleeves!
“Foodies! This is your favorite fantasy cuisine!” The local dignitaries showed a ferocious smile on their faces, and that laugh sounded like the cry of a night owl, creepy.
He pointed the spray bottle at the audience and pressed the nozzle hard!
“Shh——” The sharp sound of the spray was like the scream of a devil. In an instant, a thick mist with a strangely sweet fragrance gushed out from the spray bottle.
The mist was a hazy purple color, like a venomous snake with bared fangs and claws, twisting its body, emitting a pungent smell, and pouncing on the unsuspecting audience!
“Ah! What is this?!” A terrified scream cut through the air.
“It smells so good… but, something feels wrong…” someone murmured, his voice full of confusion and fear.
“My head feels so dizzy…” Painful groans came one after another.
The audience was suddenly in chaos. Some people screamed in fear, their voices so sharp that they seemed to pierce the eardrums; some covered their heads, their bodies trembled continuously, and they groaned in pain; others began foaming at the mouth, their faces turned pale, and they fell limply to the ground. The sound of their bodies hitting the ground was heartbreaking.
“Hahaha! This is the soup made from the ‘Magic Mushroom’ that I carefully cultivated! Just inhaling a little bit will make people hallucinate, and then… hehehe…” The local dignitaries laughed wildly with triumph, and the laughter echoed throughout the entire venue like a clarion call of victory.
There was a gleam of greed and evil in his eyes, as if he had already seen Lin Qifan and others being played around by him.
“Damn it! This guy actually used poison!” Lin Qifan cursed, his voice full of anger and unwillingness.
He was about to start the system when he heard a familiar voice.
“Wait a minute! I know what kind of mushroom this is!”
A short and fat young man in a greasy chef’s uniform rushed out from the crowd. His steps were hurried and panicked, raising a cloud of dust.
It was Wang Tiezhu’s son, the fat boy who was determined to inherit the grocery store and become a “food detective”!
“These mushrooms…these mushrooms were stolen from my father’s warehouse!” The little fat man pointed at the mist floating in the air and said anxiously, his voice trembling with nervousness.
“My father once told me that these mushrooms are highly poisonous and cannot be eaten!”
“Stolen?” Lin Qifan frowned, and various thoughts flashed through his mind. He understood in an instant, “So that’s it. This guy wants to use these poisonous mushrooms to frame us!”
“Now is not the time to talk about this!” Li Yaxuan interrupted Lin Qifan’s thoughts anxiously. Her voice was clear and urgent. “We have to find a way to detoxify!”
“Get out of the way, the professionals are here!” Yue Jianye’s crisp voice rang out, and she waved the magic wand in her hand. The magic wand flashed with soft light and gently tapped on the mist floating in the air.
“Magic taste analysis! Activate!”
A pink light shot out from the magic wand, like a gorgeous firework, enveloping the mist.
“A highly toxic substance has been detected… ‘hallucinogenic mushroom’… It needs ‘rose salt’ and… the balanced formula in the ‘royal secret recipe’ to be completely neutralized…” Yue Jianye frowned as she analyzed, with a hint of worry in her eyes, “But, ‘royal secret recipe’… what is that?”
“I know!” Li Yaxuan’s cold voice rang out, and she turned her wrist, and a silver fork appeared in her hand.
The fork flashed brightly under the light, as if it had mysterious power.
“This is…” Lin Qifan looked at the fork and felt that it looked familiar.
“This is the ‘seasoning fork’ that has been passed down from generation to generation in our family. It is engraved with the balance formula of the royal secret recipe!” Li Yaxuan explained, and then she threw the fork away!
“Swoosh–” the silver fork drew a graceful arc in the air, like a meteor across the night sky, and accurately pierced into a mushroom floating in the air and contaminated with poisonous mist!
“Sizzle–” A slight sound was heard, and the mushroom began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye, emitting a pungent smell.
“I’ve got the formula. Next…” Yue Jianye looked at Senbongi-chan, “I’ll leave it to you!”
“Understood!” Senbongi-chan smiled sweetly, and with a flash of her body, she arrived next to the mushrooms floating in the air.
Her figure was as light as a ghost, bringing up a breeze.
“Illusion Flavor Flow: Thousand Blades Slash!”
Her hands were flying like butterflies, and countless tiny blade lights flashed by. The blade lights flashed with cold light, and those mushrooms contaminated with poison mist were instantly cut into particles finer than powder, which fluttered down. “Making the illusion core into a dish… this is the real ‘fighting poison with poison’!” Senbongi said proudly.
At this moment, something strange happened!
“Hey! Luffy! What’s wrong with you?!” Inuyasha suddenly exclaimed and grabbed Luffy who was about to feast on the meal.
His hands were strong and urgent, as if he was trying to grasp the last glimmer of hope.
“Huh? I’m fine…” Luffy scratched his head in confusion, “I just feel… like there’s a warm current surging in my body…” The heat was like a flame, burning in his body.
“Something’s wrong! This isn’t an ordinary energy fluctuation…” Inuyasha stared at Luffy, his eyes full of vigilance and confusion, “This is… the residual energy of the SSR summon is boiling! The 30-second time limit… seems to have been broken by some kind of force!”
Lin Qifan also noticed something was wrong. He looked at Luffy and found that a faint golden light began to emanate from around Luffy’s body!
The golden light was like soft sunlight, warm and bright.
Moreover, this golden light is still growing stronger!
“This… is this the pace of a breakthrough?!” Lin Qifan widened his eyes with a look of disbelief.
He looked at Luffy’s golden glow and couldn’t help but complain, “Hey, hey, hey, what the hell is this? A Super Saiyan transformation?!”
Just when Lin Qifan was surprised, the local dignitary standing beside him suddenly bit his finger…
OK, let’s go! The following plot will satisfy you!
“Use my blood to activate the ultimate illusion!”
The old face of the local dignitary was now twisted like a dried orange peel, full of wrinkles and vicissitudes.
What dripped from his bitten finger was not blood, but some kind of… black, sticky, and foul-smelling liquid!
The liquid was like mud and gave off a disgusting smell. I would believe it if you said it was a biological weapon!
“It’s… it’s the dark power of the Four Souls Jade!” Yue Jianye’s big, Caroline-like eyes widened wide, and her little face turned pale, as if she had been painted with a layer of expired putty powder.
She screamed in fear, her voice split open, like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
Lin Qifan was shocked, countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
He clenched his fists nervously, his palms were sweaty.
Just then, a burst of… singing came from the distance?
The singing was ethereal and vague, as if it came from the sky above, or from the depths of the soul. It stood out in this chaotic scene.
“This… this is… the magical girl’s… purification song?” Li Yaxuan murmured to herself.
The thing that was originally placed in the center of the venue as the food festival trophy… the huge, golden… well, I don’t know how to describe it, suddenly, as if it was injected with life, it began to tremble violently!
Then, a beam of emerald light shot up from the trophy and reached the sky!
The beam of light was dazzling, illuminating the entire venue and everyone’s face, and the light was so bright that it hurt people’s eyes.
“This…what is going on?” Lin Qifan was completely confused. He felt like his brain was no longer enough.
“I… I don’t know either…” Li Yaxuan was also dumbfounded. She stared blankly at the beam of light and muttered to herself, “Could this be… the legendary… God of Food… appearing?”
“Xianling, you big-headed ghost!” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but complain, “This is clearly… a fragment of the Four Souls Jade… It’s going to cause trouble!”
“Then…then…what should we do now?” Li Yaxuan asked at a loss.
“What should I do? Just ignore it!” Lin Qifan rolled his eyes. “The system is down and the magic wand is broken. What else can I do? I can only… leave it to fate!”
“Leave it to fate?” Li Yaxuan panicked. “Then… then doesn’t that mean… I’m doomed?”
“I’m not doomed…” Lin Qifan shrugged, “But… I guess… I’ll be unlucky for a while…”
“Unlucky for a while?” Li Yaxuan was even more confused. “Unlucky… to what extent?”
“Well…” Lin Qifan touched his chin and chuckled, “Maybe… I won’t have to put seasoning packets in my instant noodles in the future…”
“……”Li Yaxuan.
“……”Wang Tiezhu’s son.
“……”All the audience.
“…” Even the fragments of the Four Souls Jade that were escaping seemed to pause for a moment.
This… this is too miserable, isn’t it?!
Chapter 13: Taste Holy War Under the Emerald Light (Old Version)
Everyone was still immersed in the shock of Lin Qifan’s tragic statement about “instant noodles without seasoning packet”, when suddenly, a strange wave swept over.
Then, something strange began to happen in the sky. An emerald-colored pillar of light rose from the ground, and the originally lively audience seats were instantly shrouded in a strange atmosphere. Something terrible was about to happen.
The emerald-colored beam of light, like a giant straw, greedily sucked the color of the sky, dyeing the entire venue an eerie green.
Under the beam of light, the originally noisy audience seats were now eerily silent, and the air was filled with an unsettlingly sweet aroma.
Suddenly, clouds of black mushroom spores, like octopus ink, gushed out from the cracks in the auditorium, like a group of long-lurking ghosts, baring their fangs and claws under the green light.
“Ding-ding-ding-ding-” The shrill alarm sounded from Yue Jianye’s magic wand, breaking the eerie silence.
The pink gem on the top of the magic wand flickered with an uneasy light, and Yue Jianye’s voice was also tinged with anxiety: “The fragments of the Four Souls Jade are contaminating your taste nerves! Everyone be careful, these spores will distort your taste buds!”
At the same time, Lin Qifan’s system interface began to flash red wildly, and it was stuck as if the computer was infected with a virus.
“It has been detected that the residual energy of the SSR summon is about to overload!” The system’s mechanical prompt sounded like a death warrant in Lin Qifan’s ears.
Well, this is really Barbie Q!
I had originally thought that the system could help turn the tide, but now the system has simply given up!
At this critical moment, Li Yaxuan, who had been standing silently behind Lin Qifan, suddenly tore off her maid skirt, revealing the noble emblem hidden underneath.
Under the illumination of the emerald beam of light, the emblem shone brightly, like the brightest star in the night sky.
“In the name of the royal family,” Li Yaxuan’s voice changed from its usual gentleness to become sonorous and powerful, with unquestionable majesty, “all audience members should swallow the detoxifying salt immediately!” My goodness, it turns out that this little girl has been pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!
This wave of operations shocked everyone present, including Lin Qifan.
In a flash, Wang Tiezhu’s son took out three bulging cloth bags from somewhere and threw them into the air.
The cloth bag exploded in the air, and silvery-white powder fell like flowers from heaven. Under the illumination of the emerald light column, it magically turned into crystal clear salt grains, as if it was raining salt.
This wave of operations can be called a textbook level of crisis public relations!
Lin Qifan secretly gave a thumbs up to Wang Tiezhu’s son in his heart.
As expected of a food detective, his ability to adapt to changing circumstances is simply amazing!
However, just when everyone thought the crisis was about to be resolved, something strange happened.
The local dignitaries who had been hiding in the dark suddenly jumped out from the crowd and threw out a handful of poisonous mushroom darts that flashed with cold light.
“The phantom barrier has covered the entire place!” His sinister voice was like the tongue of a poisonous snake, making people shudder.
At the critical moment, Inuyasha drew out the bone sword and stood in front of Lin Qifan.
The bone sword collided with the dart, producing dazzling sparks.
However, the dart fragments turned into black mushrooms the moment they hit the ground and quickly spread out.
“Oh my god! This old guy is playing dirty tricks!” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but swear.
This plot is even more ridiculous than the ridiculous TV series!
“Inuyasha, be careful!” Tsukimiye’s voice was full of worry.
Inuyasha wielded the bone sword and chopped the black mushrooms one by one.
However, these mushrooms are like leeks, they grow again after being cut, and it is impossible to cut or kill them all.
“We can’t go on like this!” Lin Qifan frowned, his brain working rapidly, thinking of countermeasures.
The system is down, the magic wand is broken, and now the only hope is…
Suddenly, Lin Qifan’s eyes fell on Senbongi-chan.
She was standing silently by the side, holding the gleaming cooking knife tightly in her hand, her eyes deep, as if she was brewing something…
“Senbongi-chan…” Lin Qifan was about to speak, but he saw Senbongi-chan suddenly thrust the cooking knife into the ground…
Ok, I will weed out the irrelevant stuff and translate it into English for you.
“In the name of food, the pure land will be restored!” Senbongi-chan shouted in a crisp voice, but with unquestionable firmness.
Before she finished her words, she suddenly thrust the cooking knife that had accompanied her in countless food battles deeply into the ground!
This is not just an ordinary stab, this is a leap of faith!
The moment the tip of the knife touched the ground, a dazzling golden light gushed out like a volcanic eruption!
This golden light is not just a 50-cent special effect, it carries with it an aroma that is so rich that it is almost tangible – it is the sizzling aroma of top-grade Wagyu beef on the iron plate, the sweetness of deep-sea caviar bursting on the tip of your tongue, and the wheat aroma of freshly-baked baguette… This aroma can make people who are trying to lose weight break their diet on the spot and make people who are on a diet go crazy!
Wherever the golden light passed, those black mushroom spores that were originally baring their fangs and claws seemed to have met their nemesis. They instantly made a “sizzling” sound, as if they were thrown into a frying pan, quickly shrank and charred, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated in the air.
“This is… the energy of the ingredients of the Ultimate Sandwich!” Lin Qifan’s eyes widened and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
He had seen with his own eyes how Senbongi-chan made the legendary ultimate sandwich, which was such a delicacy that could make one feel like they were ascending to heaven after taking one bite!
Unexpectedly, the energy of this ingredient can be used to purify the land!
This wave of operations is simply a dimensionality reduction attack!
Just when Lin Qifan thought everything was safe, something unexpected happened again!
“Ding——” Yue Jianye’s magic wand suddenly made a crisp sound, and the gem that was originally shining with pink light suddenly burst into colorful light!
Immediately afterwards, a gorgeous rainbow beam shot straight into the sky like an arrow!
With a loud “boom”, the emerald light column that originally covered the entire venue exploded under the impact of the rainbow light beam!
It was like broken glass, split into seven light bands of different colors, flowing slowly in the air, like seven rainbow waterfalls, beautiful yet a little weird.
“This is… a hymn to taste!” Lin Qifan exclaimed.
He has watched a lot of magical girl animation and is very familiar with this kind of scene.
This is the ultimate magic that is said to be able to purify all negative emotions and awaken people’s purest love for food deep in their hearts!
At the same time, a prompt popped up on Lin Qifan’s system interface: “The cross-dimensional pollution level has been detected to have dropped to 30%!”
“That’s great!” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but clench his fists, feeling ecstatic.
This wave is stable!
As long as the pollution level continues to decrease, the system will be able to return to normal. At that time, no matter what local dignitaries or poisonous mushrooms they are, they will all be trash!
However, Lin Qifan still underestimated his opponent’s madness.
“Cough, cough, cough…” A violent cough was heard. The local nobleman was bleeding from all seven orifices and his face was as pale as paper, but he showed a crazy smile, like a gambler who had lost all his money.
“It’s useless… You can’t stop me…” He roared in a hoarse voice and suddenly bit his tongue!
“Puff——” A mouthful of black blood spurted out of his mouth like a fountain, and turned into a thick black mist in the air. As if it had life, it swept towards Yue Jianye!
“Use my flesh and blood as a sacrifice to complete the final sacrifice!” The voice of the local dignitaries was like a curse from hell, which made people shudder.
“Yue Jianye, be careful!” Lin Qifan’s heart instantly rose to his throat. He wanted to rush over, but found that his body seemed to be fixed and he couldn’t move at all!
Seeing that the black fog was about to swallow Yue Jianye, at this critical moment, Lin Qifan’s system interface suddenly flashed wildly, and finally stopped at a red warning box: “Detected SSR summoning opportunity remaining 0.5 seconds!”
0.5 seconds? !
This is too bad!
Lin Qifan was going crazy!
This system usually fails at critical moments, and now it finally gives a chance, but it only has 0.5 seconds!
What can you do in these 0.5 seconds?
Not even a blink!
But even if it’s only 0.5 seconds, it’s better than nothing!
At this moment, Lin Qifan’s brain was working as fast as a supercomputer.
He must make a decision within these 0.5 seconds, a decision that can reverse the situation!
His eyes swept over Inuyasha and Senbongi-chan one by one, and finally landed on…
“Hey, hey, that kid wearing a straw hat over there,” a voice sounded in the noise, with cynical frivolity and unshakable confidence.
Chapter 14: The Rubber Tongue Takes Away the Illusion Core (Old Version)
“Luffy!”
Lin Qifan called out the name almost subconsciously.
Yes, it’s Luffy! The ability of the rubber fruit may be able to break the current deadlock!
Although it was only 0.5 seconds, it was enough for Luffy!
“Hey, leave it to me!”
Luffy’s iconic grin seemed particularly reliable at this moment.
His body swelled up like a balloon, and his arms suddenly stretched out, passing directly over the astonished crowd and heading towards the black fog…
No, it’s not black fog!
Luffy’s target was the chief judge of the Baimi Festival who was standing in the center of the black fog and had been ignored by them!
Luffy’s voice became a little sharp due to the extreme stretching of his body, but it was still full of energy and confidence.
“Tongue!”
“What?!”
Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene.
Tongue? What would Luffy do with his tongue?
Luffy’s tongue, which was already different from that of ordinary people, stretched out like a rubber band. It was like a pink lightning, cutting through the air, and went straight to the chief judge with a whistling sound!
This picture is so beautiful…
No, it’s too weird!
Even Yue Jianye, who was usually calm, couldn’t help but widen his eyes at this moment, and the magic wand in his hand trembled slightly.
She had never seen anything so… so…
“Imaginative” attack method!
Senbongi-chan even covered her mouth and almost spit out the “ultimate sandwich” she had just eaten.
“This… this doesn’t conform to the aesthetics of cooking…”
She muttered to herself, her voice full of “condemnation” for Luffy’s “barbaric” behavior.
However, this attack of “not conforming to culinary aesthetics” had an unexpected effect.
Luffy’s long tongue drew a strange arc in the air and accurately wrapped around a jade pendant on the chief judge’s waist.
The jade pendant was emerald green all over and emitted a faint glow.
But at this moment, in the depths of the dim light, a wisp of black air could be vaguely seen.
“Illusion Flavor Stone!”
Lin Qifan recognized the origin of the jade pendant at a glance.
This was an item he had exchanged in the system before. It could enhance the deliciousness of food and even create a brief taste illusion.
However, this magical stone was obviously tampered with by someone!
Those black air were clearly a sign of the illusion getting out of control!
“Luffy, pull it off!”
Lin Qifan shouted loudly.
He no longer cared about his image. At this moment, he just wanted to stop this farce!
Luffy’s tongue suddenly exerted force.
A crisp sound was particularly harsh in the silent crowd.
The phantom stone that Luffy’s tongue was wrapped around was actually pulled off from the chief judge’s waist!
Not only that, as the Fantasy Stone fell off, the chief judge’s body trembled violently as if some power had been drained away.
His waist, which was originally covered by the Illusion Stone, was actually exposed…
Black crystal pillars?!
The crystal column was about half the length of a finger, completely black, covered with strange lines on the surface, and emitting a disgusting fishy smell.
“This is……”
Lin Qifan’s pupils suddenly shrank.
He is very familiar with this thing!
This was clearly the “illusion core” that he had seen in the system before, which was marked as “dangerous goods”!
How could this thing be on the chief judge? !
Could it be that all this is…
“Senbongi-chan!”
Lin Qifan didn’t have time to think about it and immediately shouted at Senbongi-chan.
“Use your ‘Ultimate Sandwich’ to cut off those black mushroom spores!”
“Ah? Oh!”
Although Senbongi was still immersed in Luffy’s “shocking” attack method, she immediately came to her senses when she heard Lin Qifan’s instructions.
The cooking knife in her hand drew a golden arc in the air.
That arc is as warm as the sun and as sharp as a blade.
The power of the “Ultimate Sandwich” was brought to its limit at this moment.
As the knife flashed, the black mushroom spores that were still spreading suddenly shattered like glass.
Revealing the twisted, blood vessel-like illusionary lines underneath.
“Moonlight Night!”
Lin Qifan shouted again.
“Use your magic to find the source of the illusion!”
“clear!”
Yue Jianye gently waved the magic wand in his hand.
A soft white light shot out from the top of the magic wand, circling in the air, and finally, it pointed straight at…
Judges!
“His taste nerves are being attacked by the illusion!”
Yue Jianye’s voice was trembling slightly.
She seemed to see something terrible.
At this moment, the chief judge, who had been silent all this time, suddenly let out a painful groan.
He suddenly covered his stomach and his body began to tremble violently, as if something was about to come out of his body.
“vomit–“
The chief judge suddenly bent over, opened his mouth, and vomited violently.
However, what he vomited out was not food residue, but pieces of…
Black chips!
Those chips are exactly the same as the “Illusion Core” that Luffy had torn off before!
“This…what on earth is going on…”
Someone in the crowd asked in a trembling voice.
Everyone was frightened by the strange scene before them.
They originally thought that this was just an ordinary cooking competition, but they didn’t expect it to turn into such a…
“farce”?
No, this is not a farce anymore!
This is clearly a…
“conspiracy”!
Just when everyone was still in shock, a clear voice suddenly rang out in the crowd.
“It seems that this farce should end.”
Li Yaxuan walked forward slowly, still with that gentle smile on her face, but her eyes, which were usually filled with delicacy, were now as sharp as a knife.
She raised her slender hand and gently pulled the maid’s headband that bound her long black hair, and it broke with a “snap”.
The hairband falls and the black hair flies.
At this moment, how could Li Yaxuan still look like a docile maid?
She is like a sword drawn from its sheath, sharp and dazzling!
“I am the Royal Inspector, Li Yaxuan!”
Her voice was clear and firm, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of everyone present.
She took out a badge from her bosom. On the badge was carved a lifelike… um, it looked like a lion gnawing on a chicken leg?
Well, that doesn’t matter.
What’s important is that this emblem represents the authority of the royal family and supreme power!
“hiss……”
There were sounds of people gasping for air one after another.
The local dignitaries who were originally standing behind the chief judge now looked pale, with cold sweat on their foreheads, and their legs couldn’t help but tremble.
They never imagined that this maid who had always been by Lin Qifan’s side, who looked harmless and only knew how to cook and act cute, would actually be an inspector sent by the royal family!
“So… So you are the real judge of the Baiwei Festival…”
A dignitary said in a trembling voice, his voice full of fear and despair.
He seemed to have foreseen his own fate.
“No, I’m just an ordinary maid who likes delicious food.” Li Yaxuan smiled slightly, revealing two cute little canine teeth, “But, by the way, I’m working part-time as an inspector.”
This is simply…
Too Versailles!
Lin Qifan was stunned watching from the side.
He felt that he, a time traveler, was so weak compared to Li Yaxuan, a “native”!
This is the real act of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!
“I declare that this farce ends here!” Li Yaxuan’s voice rang out again, with unquestionable majesty.
However, at this moment, a deafening shout suddenly broke out from the crowd.
“I want the ultimate sandwich!”
“We want the ultimate sandwich!”
“Boss Lin, we want to eat the ultimate sandwich!”
It’s those foodie fans!
At this moment, their eyes were shining and their mouths were watering, as if they were a group of hungry wolves seeing a delicious lamb.
They don’t care about royal inspectors or conspiracies, they only care about one thing –
That is, whether you can eat the “ultimate sandwich” made by Lin Qifan!
This sudden shout made the atmosphere at the scene become somewhat…
Weird.
The originally tense atmosphere was instantly diluted by this group of foodies.
Lin Qifan was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
These guys are really…
The nature of a foodie will never change!
However, this is a good opportunity!
Lin Qifan’s eyes rolled and a plan immediately came to mind.
He took out an “Ultimate Sandwich” from the system space and handed it to the chief judge.
“Mr. Judge, please try this ‘Ultimate Sandwich’. I believe it will awaken your true sense of taste.”
Lin Qifan’s voice was full of sincerity and expectation.
The chief judge looked at the sandwich in front of him, which exuded an enticing aroma.
It had been a long time since he had tasted real food.
Ever since he was controlled by that damn “illusion core”, his sense of taste has completely failed.
Whatever he eats, it only has one taste.
The sickeningly sweet taste made him completely lose interest in food.
However, the sandwich in front of him made him feel a long-lost desire.
The fragrance was so rich and so tempting, as if it had a kind of magic that attracted him to taste it.
“Okay… let me try it…”
The chief judge reached out his hand tremblingly and took the sandwich.
He opened his mouth and took a gentle bite.
Crispy bread, tender steak, fresh vegetables, and rich sauce…
A variety of flavors instantly burst out in his mouth.
This is……
The judges’ eyes suddenly widened.
He actually…
Taste of it!
It’s not the monotonous sweet taste, but a variety of colorful flavors!
“This… this is…”
The chief judge was so excited that he was speechless.
“It’s the taste of mushrooms, bitter, but very fresh and real…” Li Yaxuan explained softly.
“Mushrooms…bitter…”
The chief judge muttered to himself, and tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.
“It’s been twenty years… I haven’t tasted the real thing for twenty years…”
He choked up as he spoke, his voice filled with emotion and bitterness.
“So… this is the real delicacy…”
His voice became lower and lower, and finally, he burst into tears like a child.
This sudden scene stunned everyone.
They never expected that the chief judge, whom they had always regarded as a puppet, would actually show such a genuine side.
However, at this moment, something strange happened!
A thick black mist suddenly erupted from the bodies of the local dignitaries who were originally standing behind the chief judge.
The black fog was thicker and more sinister than any previous time, as if it was the devil’s aura pouring out from hell, making people shudder.
“not good!”
Lin Qifan’s face changed.
“Kill them for me!”
A nobleman roared, his voice full of madness and despair.
If they cannot stop Lin Qifan and Li Yaxuan, then only death awaits them!
The black mist quickly condensed into ferocious monsters and pounced towards Lin Qifan and others.
“Luffy! Senbongi-chan! Tsukimi-ya!”
“Protect everyone!”
Luffy grinned and his body instantly expanded, turning into a giant rubber balloon.
“Eraser-Eraser-Machine Gun!”
His fists were like machine guns, bombarding the black fog monsters frantically.
“Ultimate Sandwich Slash!”
The cooking knife in Senbonki-chan’s hand swung out golden rays of light, chopping the black fog monsters into pieces.
“Star Guardian!”
The magic wand in Yue Jianye’s hand flashed with dazzling light, and a series of magic barriers protected everyone.
A big war is about to break out!
At this critical moment, a hoarse, low, yet majestic voice suddenly sounded among the crowd.
“Stop it, everyone…”
The chief judge stood up slowly, with traces of tears still on his face, but his eyes became unusually firm.
With trembling hands, he slowly tore off the human skin mask on his face…!
Chapter 15 The truth of the collapse fed by sandwiches (old version)
The human skin mask was slowly removed, revealing a weathered face yet with a hint of determination.
Under the dim light, the wrinkles on this face were as clearly visible as cracked earth. He was completely different from the kind-looking chief judge before, and even… looked a bit like Uncle Wang next door!
“Ahem,” he cleared his throat, his voice deep and powerful, as if coming from a deep valley, “Everyone, I am the real guardian of the Baiwei Festival! That… the guy wearing the mask before was an imposter!”
The whole audience was in an uproar, the noisy sound was like a pot of boiling water, even louder than the noise when the aunties in the vegetable market were scrambling for discounted eggs.
People’s exclamations and discussions intertwined and reached everyone’s ears.
Lin Qifan touched his chin, stroking the rough stubble on his chin, with an expression that said “as expected”.
Li Yaxuan covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes wide open with surprise, just like when she was shocked by the spiciness of eating super spicy turkey noodles.
“Twenty years ago,” the Guardian, let’s call him that, the Guardian sighed and began his reminiscing.
His eyes were a little blurry, as if he had traveled back in time. “This…that…local dignitary, that…group of people who dress in fancy clothes and always look constipated. They used an evil magic to tamper with everyone’s sense of taste!”
He waved his arms in grief, his arms flying through the air, bringing up a breeze, like a bear whose honey had been robbed.
“They control the food trade, so that everyone can only eat what they want them to eat! The real delicacies are hidden by them!”
The guardian uncle became more and more excited as he spoke, his saliva flying under the light, just like a rapper’s improvisation.
At this moment, a sinister voice came from the audience. The voice was like ice chips, more creepy than The Ring. “That’s a very good point, but unfortunately… it’s too late!”
Haha, he is Ouyang Si!
Make a shining debut!
He appeared in front of everyone like a cockroach crawling out of the cracks in the ground, with a disgusting green light that flickered faintly in the darkness and emitted a pungent smell.
“Now, let me show you a real…feast of fantasy!” The green tea villain smiled evilly, and that smile was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, more terrifying than the acupuncture of Rong Mama.
He just waved his hands and suddenly a huge mushroom cloud appeared in the sky. The mushroom cloud slowly rose up like a giant beast, more spectacular than an atomic bomb explosion!
The mushroom cloud emitted a strange green light with a hint of chilliness, like a moldy matcha cake, and it also had a disgusting stench.
“All audiences will become my… taste slaves!” The Green Tea Villain’s voice was filled with madness, like the roar of a patient escaping from a mental hospital.
At this critical moment, Inuyasha and Senbongi-chan attacked at the same time!
“Hmph, you want to control us? Dream on!” Inuyasha roared, his voice like thunder. The bone sword in his hand suddenly pierced into the ground, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
“Use the energy of the ingredients of the Ultimate Sandwich!” Senbongi-chan followed closely behind and inserted the cooking knife in her hand into the ground, with the blade making a sharp sound as it rubbed against the ground.
Two powerful energies gushed out from the ground, transforming into two golden beams of light, shooting straight into the sky!
These two beams of light are like two golden dragons, more spectacular than a rocket launch!
The golden light and the green light intertwined together, making a harsh sizzling sound, like the sound of fat dripping onto charcoal when grilling meat.
The golden light became brighter and brighter, and finally, it tore a crack in the huge mushroom cloud!
“But… Damn it!” The green tea villain gritted her teeth, making a chattering sound, like a kid whose lollipop was stolen.
Lin Qifan looked at this scene, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile.
Li Yaxuan was silently chewing her fingernails, the friction between her fingers and teeth was clearly audible, she was as nervous as if she was watching the World Cup final. Before that, the magic wand in Yue Jianye’s hand occasionally flashed a faint light, as if foreshadowing something.
It is said that the rainbow arrows in this magic wand may be affected by the surrounding energy and produce unpredictable effects, and the resonance of the Four Souls Jade fragments also has both positive and negative effects, but no one has paid attention to it before.
At this moment, the magic wand in Yue Jianye’s hand suddenly flashed wildly as if it had taken drugs. The colorful light was more dazzling than a disco ball, and the light stung everyone’s eyes.
Then, a rainbow arrow thicker than a bucket shot out from the magic wand with a “whoosh”. The arrow cut through the air with a sharp whistling sound and headed straight for the tangled golden-green light ball!
“The fragments of the Four Souls Jade are resonating!” Yue Jianye exclaimed, the sound was sharper than a dolphin’s sound, making people’s eardrums numb.
Her little face turned red, as if she had just finished a marathon, or as if she had been constipated for three days, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
This sudden arrow stunned everyone.
Lin Qifan’s jaw nearly dropped to the ground, and Li Yaxuan’s fingernail-biting movements froze, like a sculpture with the pause button pressed.
Something even more magical happened.
After the rainbow arrow shot into the ball of light, the mushroom cloud that was originally torn apart by the golden light actually began to… “heal”? !
Not only that, the originally suppressed green light suddenly expanded several times as if it had been injected with chicken blood, and in turn suppressed the golden light!
The two golden light pillars that had originally shot straight into the sky also began to become unstable, like candles in the wind, which could go out at any time.
Inuyasha and Senbongi-chan’s faces also turned as pale as paper, and their lips were bloodless, like internet-addicted teenagers who had not slept for three days and three nights.
“Oh no!” Inuyasha groaned, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and the smell of blood filled the air.
“How could this happen…” Senbongi-chan was also staggering, and she could hardly hold the cooking knife in her hand, and the handle was covered in sweat.
Everyone was shocked by this sudden reversal. Inuyasha and Senbongi-chan looked at each other, but Lin Qifan was quickly thinking of a countermeasure in his mind. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he thought of the Ultimate Sandwich in his pocket.
At this critical moment, Lin Qifan’s eyes flashed, and he suddenly took out from his pocket… the last ultimate sandwich? !
That’s right, it was the ultimate sandwich that I had originally intended to save for myself as a midnight snack. It exuded an enticing aroma, which was like an invisible thread that tempted people’s taste buds and made them salivate!
He took a deep breath, and using all his strength, threw the sandwich at the green tea villain like a grenade!
“Eat it!” Lin Qifan roared, his voice as loud as Pavarotti’s high C, making the air around him buzz.
This sudden “feeding” behavior once again stunned everyone.
What kind of tactic is this? Using delicious food to attack the enemy? What kind of weird operation is this? !
The green tea villain was also confused by this sudden “surprise”.
He subconsciously caught the sandwich, but before he could react, his body had already taken a bite before his brain!
“Crunch!” The crispy bread makes a crisp sound when chewed by teeth, the tender meat slices are smooth and juicy in the mouth, the refreshing vegetables have a faint fragrance, the rich sauce spreads on the tip of the tongue, and all kinds of flavors explode in the mouth of the green tea villain, more gorgeous than fireworks!
“This…this taste…” The Green Tea Villain’s expression froze instantly, as if struck by lightning.
The illusion lines on his face began to wriggle wildly, like countless earthworms crawling on his face. It was extremely disgusting, and was accompanied by a slight wriggling sound.
“Yes…I ate it when I was a kid…” The Green Tea Villain’s voice trembled, with a hint of disbelief, a hint of nostalgia, and a hint of…fear? !
His eyes began to blur, as if he was lost in some memories.
The green light that was originally full of evil began to fade away, revealing his original face. At the same time, the tangled golden-green light suddenly let out a sharp wail!
The sound was like the sound of breaking glass or a baby crying, it was creepy and echoed in the air.
The golden light that was originally suppressed suddenly burst into a dazzling light!
The two golden beams of light became stable again, and were even thicker than before!
And that huge mushroom cloud began to shrink rapidly, and finally… disappeared without a trace!
“Give us back our sense of taste!”
“Down with the black-hearted businessman!”
“We want to eat something delicious!”
At this moment, roars suddenly broke out from the audience.
Those audience members who were originally controlled by the illusion actually regained their senses!
Their eyes were all red, and they looked like wolves that had been hungry for three days and three nights, and they surrounded those “local dignitaries”!
“You…you…don’t come over here!” Those “local dignitaries” were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They retreated one after another, like mice being chased by a cat, with panicked and hurried footsteps.
“Go! Brothers!” Someone shouted, and the crowd exploded instantly!
“Beat them to death!”
“Let them have a taste of our power!”
The situation got out of control in an instant, it was even more chaotic than the shopping scene on Double Eleven!
Those “local dignitaries” were drowned out by the angry foodie fans, and screamed like pigs being slaughtered…
At this moment, the emerald light column, after interweaving with the golden light and reaching its peak, suddenly… exploded with a loud “boom”!
Fragments flew everywhere, streaking across the night sky like a meteor shower, and the fragments made a whizzing sound as they cut through the air.
Everything seemed to have returned to calm.
“Ding!” A crisp prompt sound suddenly rang in Lin Qifan’s mind.
“An SSR-level cross-dimensional vulnerability has been detected…” The system’s cold voice sounded, but before it could finish its words, the whole world suddenly… went black!
It was like there was a sudden power outage in the cinema, or like a computer suddenly crashed, and everything fell into darkness.
In the darkness, a deep voice, with a hint of doubt, stopped abruptly: “This… is…”
Chapter 16 Dimensional Cracks Behind the System Black Screen (Old Version)
“This…is…” Lin Qifan’s voice stopped abruptly, as abrupt as a live broadcast with the Internet cable cut off.
The world fell into a dead silence and darkness, which was more frightening than a power outage at midnight.
The conference hall, which had been bustling with noise just a moment ago, was now so quiet that one could almost hear the heartbeat, beating against the tense nerves.
Inuyasha growled, and the Iron Fang sword in his hand suddenly lost its eerie red light, like an extinguished neon sign, dim and lifeless.
“What’s going on?! The energy of the Four Souls Jade fragments… is dissipating!” He frowned, and his dog ears moved slightly, catching the strange fluctuations in the air.
It felt like the cell phone signal suddenly dropped from full to no service, which was disturbing.
In the darkness, Lin Qifan squinted his eyes, trying to adapt to the sudden darkness.
He seemed to be able to still see the residual data on the system interface, flashing with a faint green light, as erratic as a will-o’-the-wisp.
“The SSR summoned residual energy… and was reversely invaded by the villain?!” He took a breath and felt that things were getting serious. This was not as simple as a blue screen reboot!
This is simply the server being hacked!
“Yaxuan!” Lin Qifan said in a low voice, with a hint of anxiety in his tone.
“I understand!” Li Yaxuan’s voice was calm and decisive, without a trace of panic.
She tore off her maid outfit, revealing an exquisite emblem below her collarbone, which emitted a faint golden light and was particularly eye-catching in the darkness.
That emblem, like an ancient totem, contains mysterious power.
“As a descendant of the Observer, forcibly access the system!” She spoke in a firm tone, as if she was performing some ancient ritual, and every word was powerful.
At the same time, the magic wand in Yue Jianye’s hand suddenly shot out a dazzling blue light, cutting through the darkness, like a flash of lightning in the dark, illuminating everything around.
“Detected… dimensional fluctuations of the royal emblem!” There was a hint of surprise in her tone. The fluctuation was like a stone suddenly thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
A twisted crack suddenly appeared in the air, like broken glass, with an unstable light flickering around the edges.
Ouyang Si’s figure slowly emerged from the crack, with a sinister smile on the corner of her mouth. That smile was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, which was creepy.
“Thank you for helping me test the dimensional loophole, Lin Qifan.” There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice, as if everything was under his control.
“Now… let illusion rule over all tastes!”
Before he finished speaking, countless black mushroom spores gushed out from the cracks, spreading rapidly and turning into a poisonous cloud that enveloped the entire venue.
The poisonous cloud exuded a disgusting stench, like a rotting corpse, which made people suffocate.
The air seemed to freeze, and an inexplicable sense of fear spread, like a high-energy warning in a horror movie, making people’s hair stand on end.
“Heh,” Lin Qifan sneered, licked his lips, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes, “Want to play big? I’ll accompany you to the end!”
“Wait…Yaxuan! Your emblem…is…” Yue Jianye’s voice suddenly trembled, pointing at the emblem on Li Yaxuan’s collarbone, his tone full of disbelief.
That emblem is…slowly…disappearing?!
“What’s going on?!” Inuyasha’s tone became serious, and the Tessaiga in his hand trembled slightly, as if he felt some kind of threat.
“This…is impossible…” Li Yaxuan’s voice trembled a little. She reached out and touched the emblem, feeling that it was slowly fading, like a faded photo, losing its original luster.
“It seems that the fun has just begun…” The voice of the green tea villain sounded again, with a hint of teasing, like the teasing before a cat plays with mouse, which makes people shudder.
“Tsk…” Lin Qifan smacked his lips, his eyes swept across everyone, and finally landed on… a cooking knife on the ground… Senbonki-chan suddenly picked up the cooking knife that had fallen to the ground. The blade flashed with a cold light, reflecting her stern face, as if she was not cutting vegetables, but performing some kind of sacred ritual.
“Use the energy of the Ultimate Sandwich to hold up the crack!” She growled, her tone firm as if she was reciting some ancient oath.
The tip of the knife pierced straight into the ground, and with a hum, a golden beam of light shot out from the blade and rushed straight into the sky, like a giant pillar, trying to hold up the growing dimensional crack.
The golden light column erupted like a volcano, carrying with it a rich aroma of meat and cheese. This aroma seemed to have substance, transforming into a layer of golden energy waves visible to the naked eye, spreading out in all directions.
The ground was shaking and making a low humming sound, like the breathing of some ancient giant beast.
The expansion rate of the crack slowed down significantly, and the edge that was originally flashing with unstable light gradually stabilized, as if it was forcibly glued together by some force.
However, this brief peace was soon broken.
“Oh, is that all you can do?” The local dignitaries sneered contemptuously. The sound was sharp and piercing, like nails scratching on a blackboard, which made people shiver uncontrollably.
He glanced at everyone, adjusted his collar gracefully, slowly took out a silk handkerchief from his pocket, and gently wiped the corners of his mouth. His posture looked as if he was enjoying a comedy.
At this moment, something strange happened.
Inuyasha let out a painful roar and suddenly covered his throat, his face flushed red, as if his throat was being strangled by an invisible hand.
The black spores were like maggots on the tarsal bones, tightly wrapped around his neck and constantly corroding his flesh and blood.
He struggled and roared, but was unable to break free from the fatal restraints.
“His flesh and blood… are resonating with the Shikon Jewel!” Inuyasha uttered a few words with difficulty, his voice hoarse like a broken bellows, his tone full of fear and disbelief.
Lin Qifan’s face suddenly changed. He looked at the system interface fiercely. The interface that was originally flashing green light turned into a dazzling red. A line of warning messages suddenly appeared in the center of the screen: “SSR-level cross-dimensional pollution source detected…Royal Main Castle!”
“What?!” Lin Qifan took a breath and felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He finally understood that all this was an elaborately planned conspiracy!
Senbongi-chan’s ultimate sandwich energy was ultimately unable to resist the expansion of the dimensional rift.
The emerald light column exploded, turning into countless points of light that dissipated into the air.
At this critical moment, an unexpected scene happened.
The local dignitaries suddenly knelt on their knees and kissed the ground devoutly. Their posture was as humble as a dog wagging its tail to beg for mercy.
“Welcome, Your Excellency!” he shouted loudly, his voice trembling, full of fanaticism and admiration.
In the distance, the light of the royal emblem pierced the sky like a sacred pillar of light, illuminating the entire night sky.
The light was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it, as if it contained some powerful force that was enough to destroy everything.
At the same time, Lin Qifan’s system interface completely disappeared, as if it had been forcibly erased by some force, leaving only empty darkness.
“The game… is over…” Lin Qifan muttered to himself, with a flash of determination in his eyes… He suddenly grabbed Li Yaxuan’s wrist, and said in a low and urgent tone, “Run!”
Chapter 17: Hungry Whispers in the Rift (Old Version)
“Hungry… so hungry…”
Waves of creepy whispers, like evil spirits crawling out from the depths of hell, echoed in the poisonous fog.
The sound was like the roar of countless hungry beasts, or the crying of countless wronged souls. It made people shudder and their hair stand on end.
Lin Qifan felt his scalp tingling. He turned his head suddenly and saw that the audience who were originally normal were now like zombies in a zombie siege. Their eyes were black, their pupils were dilated, and their faces were full of twisted hunger and madness.
The disgusting chewing sound was particularly harsh in the silent night sky.
A middle-aged man who seemed quite respectable was now holding his arm and biting it madly like a chicken leg. Blood mixed with saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth and dyed the collar of his shirt red.
He was completely unaware of it, as if that was not his arm but a piece of delicious barbecue.
A heavily made-up woman next to her also joined the “eating” group.
She screamed, grabbed her hair, pulled it off along with her scalp, and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it in big mouthfuls, making a “crunching” sound, as if she was chewing some delicious snack.
“What…what the hell is this thing?!” Li Yaxuan was so frightened that her face turned pale. She grabbed Lin Qifan’s arm tightly, her nails almost digging into his flesh.
Lin Qifan no longer cared about the pain. He suppressed the churning in his stomach and protected Li Yaxuan behind him.
“This… is this the ‘Hunger Virus’? It’s too damn perverted!” Lin Qifan cursed inwardly. He finally understood why the system would issue the task of “stopping the dimensional rift”. This thing is even more terrifying than the T virus in Resident Evil!
Just then, a familiar figure rushed into the crowd.
“Don’t be afraid, everyone! Use this!”
It’s Wang Tiezhu’s son!
He was seen holding a tattered cloth bag in his hand. As he ran, he grabbed handfuls of white powder from the bag and threw it at the crazy audience.
“This is the detoxifying salt formula that my father has been researching for three years! It will definitely…”
Before he could finish his words, a cold light flashed.
A sharp dagger pierced into Wang Tiezhu’s son from behind and went straight through his chest.
“Uh…” Wang Tiezhu’s son turned his head in disbelief, only to see that the local nobleman who was originally kneeling on the ground and paying homage to the “sir” was now standing behind him with a ferocious look on his face, holding the dagger that was still dripping with blood in his hand.
“Cut it off at the critical moment!” The local nobles gnashed their teeth and said, their eyes full of madness and determination, “You lowly people don’t deserve salvation at all! Only the great ‘Master’ can lead us to eternity!”
“You…you lunatic!” Wang Tiezhu’s son spat out a mouthful of blood, his body slowly fell down, the cloth bag in his hand fell to the ground, and white powder scattered all over the ground.
“Young Master!” Li Yaxuan exclaimed and was about to rush over.
“Don’t go!” Lin Qifan grabbed her and said, “It’s useless for you to go. You will just die in vain!”
“But…” Li Yaxuan had tears in her eyes as she looked at Wang Tiezhu’s son lying in a pool of blood, her heart filled with grief and anger.
“No buts! Believe me, I will handle everything!” Lin Qifan said firmly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
“Now is not the time to get emotional, we must find a way to stop this disaster!”
At this moment, Senbongi-chan suddenly let out a roar.
“Damn it! How dare you destroy my ultimate sandwich!” Her eyes were red, and she stared at the growing dimensional crack, as if she wanted to eat it alive.
She suddenly pulled out the last cooking knife that was stuck in the ground and held it high.
“In that case, let’s use the energy of the ingredients of the Ultimate Sandwich to purify this polluted air!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling golden light burst out from the cooking knife.
The golden light shot up into the sky and turned into a huge pillar of light, rushing straight into the clouds, as if to illuminate the entire night sky.
However, this golden beam of light did not purify the air and dispel the poisonous fog as Senbongi had expected. Instead, it seemed to add fuel to the fire, making the dimensional crack even more violent and larger.
“Boom…”
A deafening noise came from the crack, as if something terrible was about to break out of the cocoon.
“This…what’s going on?!” Senbongi-chan was dumbfounded. She had never expected that her ultimate dish would have a counterproductive effect.
Lin Qifan was also stunned. He looked at the ever-expanding dimensional crack and his heart was filled with despair.
“It’s over, this is completely screwed…” He muttered to himself, feeling like he was standing on the edge of a cliff and could fall into the abyss at any time.
“Qi Fanjun…we…” Li Yaxuan trembled.
At this critical moment, a crisp voice suddenly rang out.
“Hehe, it seems like it’s time for me to make my debut…” Yue Jianye winked playfully, and the seemingly ordinary magic wand in her hand suddenly burst out with brilliant light. Rainbow-colored chains shot out from the tip of the wand like spirit snakes, drawing gorgeous arcs in the air.
“Grab the fragments of the Four Souls Jade!” Yue Jianye’s voice was crisp and firm, as if it carried some kind of magic that made people want to obey involuntarily.
The target of the rainbow chain is the black mist that continuously emerges from the dimensional rift.
The mist, as if attracted by some force, rushed towards the chains madly, emitting bursts of creepy screams.
“Ahhhhhhh——”
The scream was sharp and piercing, like the sound of nails scratching on a blackboard. It made people’s scalps tingle and they wanted to cover their ears immediately.
But what is even more horrifying is that these sounds are mixed with human cries and wails, as if countless souls are trapped in them, suffering endless torture.
At the same time, Inuyasha also moved.
He drew out the bone sword behind him, jumped high, and slashed hard at the growing black poisonous cloud.
“Wind Wound!”
A sharp sword energy, like lightning tearing through the night sky, instantly split the poisonous cloud in half.
“It’s done!” Lin Qifan was delighted, but his smile froze on his face before it could bloom.
The poisonous cloud that was split apart did not dissipate. Instead, it spread rapidly like a virus, turning into countless fist-sized black mushrooms that screamed and flew around.
“What the hell! What the hell is this?!” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but curse. He felt like he was playing a game full of loopholes. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t pass it.
“Ahhhhh—”
People who were touched by the black mushrooms let out shrill screams instantly. Their bodies swelled rapidly, their skin turned a disgusting gray-green color, their eyes turned white, and they looked like zombies who had lost their souls.
“Get out of the way! These mushrooms are poisonous!” Lin Qifan shouted, grabbed Li Yaxuan and dodged to the side.
Li Yaxuan ignored him. With a determined light in her eyes, she ran straight towards Wang Tiezhu’s son who was lying in a pool of blood.
“Young Master!” She picked up Wang Tiezhu’s son and dragged him to a relatively safe corner.
“Tell me! The origin of the royal emblem!” Li Yaxuan’s voice was cold and rapid, like an enraged lioness.
Wang Tiezhu’s son’s face was pale, his lips were trembling, and blood was constantly flowing out of his mouth.
“Black… black market… third floor underground…” he said intermittently, “the… cold storage with the royal emblem…”
After saying this, he completely lost consciousness, and the half bronze plate in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Li Yaxuan picked up the bronze medal and held it tightly in her hand.
At this moment, the originally emerald green beam of light suddenly changed.
It seemed to come alive, twisting and deforming, and finally turning into a huge emerald hand that slammed the earth hard.
“Boom boom—”
The earth shook violently, as if an earthquake had occurred. Countless buildings collapsed and dust flew everywhere, covering the sky and the sun.
At the same time, a cold prompt sound from the system suddenly rang in Lin Qifan’s mind.
“Detected that there is 0.01 seconds left for SSR summoning!”
Lin Qifan’s pupils suddenly contracted and his heart sank.
0.01 seconds!
This means that he only has one last chance to summon!
“Who…who should I summon…” Lin Qifan’s brain was working fast. He felt like he was taking a life-and-death exam. Every choice could determine his life or death.
“Qifan…I…am scared…” Li Yaxuan’s voice trembled. She hugged Lin Qifan’s arm tightly, as if grabbing a life-saving straw.
Lin Qifan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” He patted Li Yaxuan’s shoulder gently, his tone firm and gentle, “Trust me, I will protect you.”
He raised his head and looked at the chaotic sky, with a determined look in his eyes.
“No matter who it is, as long as they can prevent this disaster, it’s good!”
He slammed the summon button.
The earth shook violently again, and a golden light fell from the sky, illuminating the entire night sky.
“Here it comes!” Lin Qifan was delighted, but his smile froze on his face before it could bloom.
Because he saw that in that golden light, it was not the SSR-level character he expected, but a… golden sedan chair? !
The sedan chair slowly landed on the ground, and a man in gorgeous clothes walked out of it.
“Here I present…” The man smiled slightly, his voice cold and arrogant, “‘Dimension Observer System’…”
Chapter 18: The Truth Sandwich Under the Royal Seal (Old Version)
Lin Qifan stared at the golden sedan chair in amazement, his heart full of confusion and shock. The sedan chair landed, raising dust. As the music faded, the man stepped out of the sedan chair calmly, with arrogance in every step, and the corners of his mouth raised to reveal a smile that seemed friendly but was actually arrogant, just like someone selling high-priced goods.
The golden sedan looked like a giant gold beetle, swaying down from the sky, with its own background music, so dazzling.
In the dust, a man in gorgeous clothes walked out with an arrogant step, looking like an ancient version of a domineering president.
He had a standard business smile on his face, and that smile looked like he was selling some high-priced health products.
“I present you the Dimension Observer System,” the man cleared his throat, his voice more standard than that of a professional announcer, “and I will appoint you as the Royal Kitchen God!”
Lin Qifan was completely confused. What was going on?
The system still needs to be handed in?
The royal chef?
Why does it sound like a high-end cafeteria chef?
He subconsciously looked at Li Yaxuan, only to see that she also had a look of confusion on her face, her big eyes blinking like two frightened deer.
etc!
system?
Lin Qifan suddenly felt a chill on his back, and a terrible thought flashed through his mind.
He suddenly raised his head and looked into the depths of the sedan chair.
Although he couldn’t see the figure inside clearly, he clearly felt that a pair of eyes were staring at him coldly through the gap in the curtain.
He was so familiar with that look, it was exactly that of the green tea villain!
Could it be… Lin Qifan took a breath of cold air. The truth of the matter was far more complicated than he had imagined!
At this moment, Wang Tiezhu’s son, who had been silent all this time, suddenly roared, struggled, and slammed a bronze plate to the ground.
The bronze plate was rusty and looked ordinary, but the moment it touched the ground, it burst into a dazzling light.
“This is… the key to the black market cold storage!” The weak voice of Wang Tiezhu’s son sounded like thunder in everyone’s ears.
Black market cold storage!
That’s the lair of the green tea villain Ouyang Si!
Lin Qifan understood instantly that this guy was using his life to transmit information!
“Good boy!” Lin Qifan secretly praised in his heart, and his gaze turned to the golden sedan chair again, with a fire of anger burning in his chest.
Senbongi-chan and Inuyasha also realized that something was wrong.
Inuyasha roared, drew out his bone sword, and slashed at the curtain of the sedan chair.
With a “swish” sound, the curtain of the sedan chair was torn, revealing the figure in the sedan chair.
Sure enough, just as Lin Qifan expected, it was the smiling green tea villain with a dagger hidden behind his heart!
“So you are the ‘system developer’!” Inuyasha’s eyes widened with anger, and the bone sword in his hand vibrated with a buzzing sound.
Ouyang Si no longer pretended, and a sinister smile appeared on her face: “Yes, it’s me! How is it? Are you surprised?”
“What a surprise!” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but swear, “You are kidding me!”
Senbongi-chan said nothing as she injected the last of the energy from the ingredients into the cooking knife in her hand.
The blade emitted a dazzling golden light, like a holy sword.
“In the name of the Ultimate Sandwich!” Senbongi-chan shouted, and the cooking knife in her hand turned into a golden beam of light, piercing through the chest of the green tea villain.
“Ah——” The green tea villain let out a shrill scream and his body began to tremble violently.
Ouyang Si’s body actually began to emit an emerald light, and a powerful dimensional storm swept out from him. “Not good!” Lin Qifan’s face changed drastically, “This guy is going to self-destruct!”
He grabbed Li Yaxuan’s hand and prepared to run away.
At this moment, he felt a strange energy fluctuation.
He turned his head suddenly and looked at Yue Jianye…her magic wand actually began to crack!
“Wait…” Yue Jianye’s voice trembled, as if he had seen something incredible, “Four Souls…” The emerald light was like a flood that broke through the dam, rushing around with a suffocating feeling of oppression.
Yue Jianye’s voice was particularly sharp in the chaos, like glass scratching across a blackboard, making people shudder: “The Four Souls Jade Fragment… It’s devouring the system!”
At the same time, the noble emblem on Li Yaxuan’s neck seemed to sense something and suddenly burst out with dazzling golden light.
That light, warm and sacred, contrasted sharply with the green, evil light.
Li Yaxuan’s face was pale, but her eyes were firm, as if she had made some important decision: “At the cost of the observer’s bloodline…purification!”
Lin Qifan’s heart sank suddenly. Observer’s bloodline?
Purification?
The plot is becoming more and more like a third-rate soap opera!
Before he could even complain, something even more outrageous happened.
A local dignitary, for some unknown reason, actually hugged the disappearing body of the green tea villain and shouted at the top of his lungs: “Sir! Activate the hunger virus!” This scene is really eye-catching!
Before he finished speaking, the ground began to shake violently, and countless cracks spread out like a spider web.
Countless infected people emitting a foul odor poured out from the cracks. Their eyes were bloodshot and they pounced towards the crowd like zombies.
This scene is simply a live version of Resident Evil!
Inuyasha’s bone sword, which originally emitted a sharp cold light, was now entangled by black mushrooms that appeared from nowhere and could not move.
What the hell is this setting?
Can mushrooms wrap around knives?
Lin Qifan felt that his worldview was collapsing.
“Oh my god! What’s going on? Are you kidding me?!” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but swear. This plot twist was too sudden!
He was about to complain when he felt a black screen in front of his eyes.
At this moment, the emerald light column exploded, and the shock wave of the explosion knocked everyone to the ground.
Lin Qifan felt as if his internal organs were shifted, his ears were buzzing, and his vision was blurry.
When he came to his senses a little, he found that Li Yaxuan was holding him tightly.
A faint fragrance, mixed with the smell of earth and blood, penetrated into his nostrils.
He struggled to raise his head, only to find that everything around him had changed.
The once magnificent imperial palace has now become a ruin.
The air was filled with a sickening stench of decay, and black mushrooms spread like a plague, devouring everything.
At this moment, the royal emblem suddenly burst into a dazzling light, dispelling the darkness.
Lin Qifan felt as if he was scanned by a super scanner and felt uncomfortable all over.
Then, the system interface lit up again, but an even more shocking warning popped up:
“SSR-level dimensional intruder detected… Head of the Royal Family!”
SSR-level dimensional invader?
The head of the royal family?
What the hell is this?
Lin Qifan felt that his brain was no longer enough.
This plot is even more exciting than a roller coaster!
The screen went black again.
This time, Lin Qifan was not panicked. He felt numb.
This system, isn’t it a bug?
In the distance, there was a creepy crawling sound.
The sound was like a giant mushroom breathing, or like some huge creature crawling.
The sound was getting closer and clearer, as if it would appear in front of them in the next second.
“Yaxuan…” Lin Qifan’s voice was a little hoarse, “Did you… hear any sound?”
Li Yaxuan’s face was pale. She held Lin Qifan’s hand tightly without saying a word.
The squirming sound was getting closer and louder…
“It seems… it is…” Li Yaxuan’s voice trembled, “It came from… the cracks in the system…”
Chapter 19 Chakra Rice Ball Suppresses the Riot (Old Version)
From the auditory sense, the crawling sound was getting closer and closer, like countless sticky insects crawling on the ground, and each crawling sound seemed to be a dull growl coming from deep underground.
Visually, it seemed as if some kind of slimy giant monster was crawling out from the ground. The air was filled with a disgusting stench, like a mixture of rotten fish and sour milk. The smell pierced the nasal membranes and made Lin Qifan feel uncomfortable all over. He wanted to vomit out the overnight meal.
Li Yaxuan held his hand tightly, her fingertips were cold, like a piece of cold jade, and her face was paler than paper, completely bloodless.
Suddenly, the system cracks twisted, and visually one could see flashes of light at the cracks, as if powerful energy was surging through them. A golden figure fell out of it, landing heavily on the ground.
“Ouch, my butt!” Familiar voice, familiar formula, who else could it be but Naruto?
The sound was clear and loud, and was particularly clear in this tense space.
He rubbed his butt and climbed up, looking around in confusion. His puzzled expression could be seen visually, with his mouth slightly open: “This space is so messy! Even messier than the kitchen of Ichiraku Ramen after closing! I’m so hungry! Let me use my multiple shadow clones to cook!” He almost drooled as he spoke, his voice full of eagerness.
Before he could finish his words, golden chakra exploded around him and instantly transformed into a hundred Narutos.
The sound of the chakra exploding was as loud as thunder, and visually, the golden light was as brilliant as exploding fireworks.
Each Naruto held a shining rice ball in his hand. The light was brighter than a searchlight. It was particularly dazzling in the dark space and gave people a strong visual impact.
“Rasengan…ah no, Rasengan!” Hundreds of Narutos shouted in unison, their voices uniform and loud, like the shouting of thousands of troops.
Throw the glowing rice balls in your hands at the squirming infected.
The scene was once very chaotic, like a group of golden little suns chasing a bunch of wriggling slugs. The scene was simply unbearable to watch.
From a visual point of view, the golden light and the black squirming figures are intertwined, which is very weird.
But the effect is surprisingly good!
The infected people who were hit by the rice balls let out shrill screams, the sound was so sharp and piercing that it seemed to pierce the eardrums.
And then…nothing happened.
“Wait! Could there be something strange added to these rice balls?” Lin Qifan suddenly had a bad feeling.
He seemed to see a sly smile flash across the faces of Naruto’s shadow clones. That smile looked like the pride after a prank had succeeded.
At this moment, Li Yaxuan suddenly tore off her maid’s tie, bit her fingertips hard, and blood dripped onto her golden badge.
The sound of blood dripping was like water falling on the ground, crisp and tense.
“Guided by the observer’s bloodline!” She chanted loudly, her voice clear and powerful. The system interface reappeared, and a complex emblem pattern slowly rotated.
From a visual perspective, the heraldic pattern exudes a mysterious glow, and its slowly rotating appearance is full of unknowns.
However, just as the emblem was about to be activated, a warning suddenly popped up on the system interface: “The villain’s residual program has been detected…”
Before he finished speaking, the system interface suddenly flipped and turned into a distorted ghost face!
The ghost face was extremely terrifying visually, with a hideous look and a grinning mouth, and it let out a shrill scream. The sound seemed to come from hell, as if it was going to suck in all their souls!
Lin Qifan only felt a strong suction force pulling him towards the system interface. He subconsciously reached out to grab Li Yaxuan, but caught nothing!
From a tactile perspective, the suction force was like an invisible giant hand, pulling him tightly.
At the critical moment, a cold light flashed!
Senbongi-chan’s cooking knife accurately pierced Naruto’s…rice ball!
The sound of the knife piercing the rice ball was like the sound of metal colliding, crisp and clear.
“Use chakra energy to reorganize the ingredients!” Senbongi-chan’s voice was terrifyingly calm. The cooking knife in her hand seemed to have turned into some kind of mysterious magic wand. A golden beam of light shot out from the tip of the knife, intertwining with the chakra ripples of Naruto’s rice ball, forming a strange energy field.
The golden beams of light and chakra ripples intertwined with each other, radiating light.
A miracle happened!
Those infected people who were hit by the rice balls and were motionless suddenly fell to the ground and retched!
The scene was even more spectacular than collective food poisoning!
From the auditory point of view, the sound of retching was one after another and very noisy.
“Ugh…what the hell is this…”
“My stomach… feels like it’s going to explode…”
“It tastes worse than the dark food my grandma makes…”
The wails of the infected people rose one after another, as if they were having a big vomiting competition.
Lin Qifan covered his nose with a look of disgust: “This smell… is even more sour than canned herrings…” From the sense of smell, the disgusting smell permeated the air and was unbearable.
At this moment, Inuyasha’s bone sword suddenly let out a mournful cry…
Inuyasha’s bone sword let out a shrill cry, as sharp as the sound of nails scratching a blackboard, and the sword trembled violently, as if trying to break free from his control.
The sound was so sharp and piercing that you could feel the air vibrating because of it.
“The fragment of the Four Souls Jade… is responding to the badge!” Inuyasha’s voice was full of disbelief. He widened his eyes and stared at the golden badge in Li Yaxuan’s hand, as if there was some horrifying secret engraved on it.
Almost at the same time, Yue Jianye’s magic wand also made a crisp buzzing sound, and a dazzling blue light shot out, drawing a graceful arc in the air, and finally landed accurately on the badge.
The blue light is particularly eye-catching in the darkness, giving people a dreamy feeling visually.
As the blue light flashed, the internal structure of the badge was clearly visible, as if it had been scanned by X-rays.
“There is a dimensional bomb… in the royal emblem!” Yue Jianye’s voice trembled, as if he had seen some terrible scene, his face was pale, uglier than after eating expired milk.
Dimensional bomb?
This thing doesn’t sound like a good thing!
Lin Qifan felt a chill on his back, as if an invisible hand was strangling his throat, and breathing became difficult.
From the touch, the chill spread from his back, making him shiver all over.
This green tea villain is really playing too big!
This is going to destroy the world!
Before he could react, Naruto suddenly grabbed his wrist with such force that it seemed as if he could crush his bones.
The force made Lin Qifan’s wrist hurt, and he could clearly feel from the touch how tightly Naruto was holding on.
“Protagonist, don’t move!” Naruto growled, and golden chakra surged around him like a nuclear bomb about to explode. The momentum was even more exaggerated than the Super Saiyan transformation!
From a visual perspective, the golden chakra burns like a flame, which is very imposing.
A scorching breath blew in his face, and Lin Qifan felt like his face was about to be burnt.
From a tactile point of view, the heat burned his skin and hurt.
At the same time, a huge emerald-colored monster shadow slowly emerged from the cracks in the system. The shadow was twisted and hideous, like an evil ghost crawling out from the depths of hell, emitting shrill screams, as if it was going to tear the whole world apart!
The sound was deafening and made people feel extremely frightened from the auditory sense.
The air was filled with a strong, nauseating smell of sulfur. Lin Qifan felt his stomach churning and almost vomited out the tea eggs he had eaten in the morning.
From the sense of smell, the smell of sulfur is pungent and unpleasant.
At the critical moment, Li Yaxuan suddenly pressed the noble emblem in her hand hard on the system interface. She clenched her teeth, her face was pale, but her eyes were firm, like a Valkyrie about to go to the battlefield.
Visually, her expression is stern and full of determination.
“With blood as a contract, the purification process!” She chanted loudly, her voice was clear and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty.
Golden light burst out from the emblem, illuminating the entire space. That light was brighter than a thousand suns!
The light was so bright that it was almost impossible to open one’s eyes.
However, just when the light was about to engulf everything, the system interface suddenly twisted and deformed, revealing the distorted smiling face of a green tea villain!
That smile was full of sarcasm and malice, as if it was mocking their arrogance.
“Haha, do you think you can stop me like this? You are so naive!” The voice of the green tea villain was sharp and piercing, as creepy as scratching fingernails on glass.
The system interface suddenly went black and everything fell silent.
The air seemed to freeze, leaving only the sound of everyone’s rapid breathing.
From the auditory point of view, the breathing sound was clearly audible and seemed particularly tense.
Naruto still held Lin Qifan’s wrist tightly, his palms were full of cold sweat, and the blue veins on the back of his hands bulged like twisted earthworms.
From the sense of touch, I can feel the dampness of his palm and the bulging blue veins.
“Shit…” he whispered, his voice terribly hoarse.
Li Yaxuan slumped on the ground, her face as pale as paper and her eyes empty, as if she had lost her soul.
Visually, her condition was miserable.
Inuyasha’s bone sword stopped trembling and lay quietly on the ground, with a faint light flickering on the sword, as if telling something silently.
From a visual perspective, the faint light gives people a mysterious feeling.
Yue Jianye’s magic wand fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, which was particularly harsh in the silent space.
“Click…” A slight sound broke the silence, like the sound of some mechanism being triggered.
An old voice came from the darkness: “Interesting… Really interesting…” It turned out that this system was inextricably linked to the world of Naruto. At a certain mysterious node, a connection channel would occasionally be opened, and that was why Naruto accidentally appeared here.
As for the dimensional bomb in the royal emblem, there may be some special sealing technique or energy that can counter it in the future, but no one has noticed it yet.
Just when everyone was still immersed in this strange silence, Senbongi suddenly said: “The energy of this rice ball seems to be still fluctuating, and there may be subsequent effects.” Naruto scratched his head and said doubtfully: “Could this rice ball have hidden power?” Lin Qifan frowned and thought: “Anyway, we have to figure out how to deal with this meta bomb first.” At this time, the system cracks began to tremble slightly again, and it seemed that a new crisis was brewing…
Chapter 20: The Food Bible in the Deep Cold Storage (Old Version)
When everyone was worrying about the meta-bomb and the cracks in the system, the energy fluctuations of the rice ball intensified and the surrounding space was distorted. Suddenly, the system alarm sounded loudly, followed by a flickering screen, and then a complete black screen. In an instant, deathly silence enveloped everyone, and everyone was frightened by this sudden situation and lost their minds, becoming so embarrassed.
The system screen went black, and the dead silence surged like a tide, making it hard to breathe.
Naruto’s hands were sticky with cold sweat, as if he was holding a slippery catfish.
Li Yaxuan slumped on the ground with empty eyes, like a rag doll with its internal organs hollowed out.
Inuyasha’s bone sword fell to the ground with a dull sound, as if even it had lost the will to fight.
Yue Jianye’s magic wand rolled to the side, making a crisp “ding-dong” sound, which seemed particularly abrupt in this dead silent environment.
Suddenly, a “click” sound, like a rusty gear turning, broke the suffocating silence.
In the darkness, an old voice sounded slowly, with a hint of amusement and teasing: “Interesting… Really interesting…”
A hunched figure slowly walked out from the depths of the cold storage, leaning on a bamboo stick and walking unsteadily.
The figure was as thin as a dead branch, as if it would fall down with a gust of wind.
He was wearing tattered linen clothes and his face was covered with deep wrinkles, like a crumpled piece of paper.
There was a gleam of wisdom in those cloudy eyes, as if they could see through everything.
The old man leaned on a bamboo stick and knocked lightly on the wall of the cold storage, making a dull “dong dong” sound.
“The holy book was sealed here thirty years ago…” Before the old man could finish his words, a loud noise came from deep in the cold storage, and then a figure suddenly slammed open the freezer and stumbled out.
“Foodies, get out of here!” It was Wang Tiezhu’s father. His face was ashen and his lips were purple, as if he had been poisoned by something.
“Dad!” Wang Tiezhu exclaimed and wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by Lin Qifan.
“Don’t go over there! It’s poisonous!” Lin Qifan’s tone left no room for doubt.
Senbongi-chan’s cooking knife stabbed into the ground with a “swish” sound, and the blade made a buzzing sound.
“Use the last energy of the ingredients!” She shouted, and formed seals with her hands. A golden beam of light gushed out from the blade, enveloping Wang Tiezhu’s father.
Wang Tiezhu’s father struggled painfully in the golden light, his body shaking constantly, as if something was about to break out of his body.
Suddenly, he let out a shrill scream, and the skin all over his body began to fester, emitting a foul odor.
“Detoxifying salt! My last detoxifying salt!” He roared, took out a bag of white powder from his arms and threw it into the air with all his might.
The white powder spread in the air, forming a thick salt mist.
In the salt mist, a bronze door slowly emerged, engraved with strange runes, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
“It’s done!” Senbongi-chan breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground weakly.
Naruto suddenly let out a scream as his body was entangled by an emerald beam of light, unable to move.
“Chakra… is contaminated!” he said through gritted teeth, his voice full of pain.
“Oh no! It’s the royal forbidden technique!” Inuyasha’s bone sword fiercely split the poisonous fog, revealing three golden curtains.
The curtain of the sedan chair broke through the ice, emitting a biting cold air.
“Royal envoy?” Lin Qifan frowned tightly, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
The curtain of the sedan slowly fell, revealing three figures dressed in gorgeous golden robes.
They had blank expressions and cold eyes, as if they had no emotions at all.
The air froze and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Li Yaxuan suddenly stood up and took out a silver emblem from her arms… “Blood of the Observer…” she muttered to herself.
Li Yaxuan suddenly pressed the silver emblem on the bronze door. The emblem emitted a dazzling white light, and the ancient runes seemed to come alive, wandering and flashing on the door.
“The observer’s blood can be activated!” She said in a firm tone with a hint of determination.
However, the expected magnificent treasure house did not appear.
The bronze door burst open, and a thick green smoke gushed out with a pungent smell of mushrooms, instantly filling the entire cold storage.
It was not gold, silver, or treasures, nor were they magical weapons, but giant mushrooms that grew wildly like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. In the blink of an eye, they filled the entire space and formed a huge spore cloud that covered the sky and the sun.
“What the hell! What the hell?!” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but swear. The style of the painting changed too quickly. Where was the promised food bible?
How did it become a mushroom cultivation base?
The magic wand in Yue Jianye’s hand suddenly trembled violently, making a “cracking” sound, and then it shattered into countless light spots and dissipated into the air.
“My magic wand…what happened?!” Yue Jianye exclaimed, her face turned pale. This magic wand is her ancestral heirloom!
Just as everyone was panicking, the mysterious old man suddenly stabbed the bamboo stick in his hand into the ground, making a dull “dong” sound.
“Back off!” he growled, with an unquestionable majesty in his voice.
After the bamboo stick was inserted into the ground, it actually began to emit a dazzling emerald light beam, which shot straight into the sky and tore a huge crack in the thick spore cloud.
The beam of light bombarded the space behind the bronze door, making a deafening roar, as if it was going to tear the entire space apart.
The spore cloud was dispersed by the beam of light, and everyone finally saw the scene behind the bronze door.
There was no treasure house there, but a stone wall with a charred ancient book embedded in it. It was the holy book of gourmet food that they had been searching for!
However, the holy book had been half burned, leaving only broken pages, which looked particularly desolate under the light column.
At this moment, the royal family suddenly took action.
The three of them simultaneously took out a piece of fragment that was shining with a mysterious light from their arms. It was the legendary Four Souls Jade fragment!
The three fragments met in the air, forming a triangular energy field, emitting heart-pounding fluctuations.
“Oh no! They want to steal the holy book!” Lin Qifan was shocked. The royal family really had bad intentions. It seemed that there was a huge secret hidden behind the holy book.
The mysterious old man’s expression also became solemn, the bamboo staff in his hand shone brighter, and the emerald light column suddenly expanded, wrapping the broken holy book, as if to devour and absorb it.
“Cough cough cough…” Inuyasha suddenly coughed violently. His throat was entangled with green spores, making it difficult for him to breathe, and his face turned ashen.
At the critical moment, an illusory system interface suddenly flashed before Lin Qifan’s eyes, showing: “SSR summoning opportunity detected, 0.001 seconds remaining!”
“What?!” Before Lin Qifan could react, a strong suction force suddenly pulled him into a strange space…
“Master Fan…be careful…” Li Yaxuan stretched out her hand, but only grabbed something empty…The air was filled with the aroma of barbecue…and a hint of…motor oil?
Chapter 21 Dimensional Rifts Fed by the Holy Scripture (Old Version)
“Master Fan…be careful…” Li Yaxuan’s slender fingers penetrated the remaining shadow of Lin Qifan, and only caught a hint of the aroma of barbecue in the air, and a strange smell of…motor oil?
The smell made her frown slightly, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart.
At the same time, the energy field gathered by the fragments of the Four Souls Jade of the three royal family members reached its peak, and a distorted beam of light shot directly at the broken holy book wrapped in the emerald light column.
The mysterious old man groaned, and the light on the bamboo stick flickered violently, as if resisting this powerful force.
At this critical moment, a mechanical arm, flashing with a cold metallic luster, stretched out from the twisted dimensional crack at lightning speed and grabbed the broken holy book!
“Thank you, protagonist, for helping me improve the system!” A cold voice sounded, accompanied by a teeth-grinding sound of mechanical friction.
I saw a figure slowly emerging from the crack, half of its face was human skin, and the other half was a complex mechanical structure, flashing red electronic light.
It turned out to be the green tea villain who had been hiding behind the scenes!
At this moment, his half-mechanical face revealed a crazy smile, like a malfunctioning robot, which was creepy.
“Now… let all dimensions merge!” He held up the holy book, his tone full of madness.
The holy book emitted an even brighter light in his hands. The emerald light column that originally protected the holy book began to twist and deform, as if it had been polluted by something. The originally sacred aura also became strange.
The space began to vibrate violently. Pitch-black cracks spread out like a spider web, and a suffocating feeling of oppression filled the air.
At this moment, a golden figure flashed by, and Naruto appeared at the place where Lin Qifan had stood before.
He held a huge chakra rice ball in his hand, with golden chakra flowing on the surface of the rice ball, exuding an enticing fragrance.
“Use rubber ability to amplify it!” Naruto stuffed the rice ball into Luffy’s hand, his tone hurried and firm.
Luffy took the rice ball without saying a word and took a bite.
The ability of the Rubber Fruit was activated instantly, and his arms expanded like a balloon, compressing the rice ball into a more compact sphere containing explosive energy.
“Rubber…Ultimate…Chakra…Sandwich!” Luffy roared, and smashed the energy ball in his hand hard into the holy book in the hand of the green tea villain.
The rubberized rice ball drew a golden arc in the air, and the moment it collided with the holy book, it burst into dazzling light.
Golden chakra energy and emerald light beams intertwined in the air, forming a gorgeous yet dangerous picture.
The shock wave of the explosion swept across, blowing away everything around.
Inuyasha, Tsukimiye and others quickly put up demon power shields and barely managed to withstand this powerful impact.
At this moment, Li Yaxuan, who had been standing silently behind Lin Qifan, suddenly moved.
She suddenly tore off her maid uniform, revealing a strange emblem hidden underneath.
The emblem exudes a faint silver light and is engraved with complex patterns, as if it contains some kind of ancient power.
“In the name of the Creator!” Li Yaxuan’s voice was cold and majestic, completely different from her previous image.
At the same time, an illusory system interface suddenly appeared in the air, with a string of ancient text appearing on it, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
The phantom of the monster in the emerald light column let out a shrill scream, as if it was in great pain.
The holy book in Ouyang Si’s hand also began to tremble violently, its light flickering, and it seemed that it could collapse at any time.
“You…you are…” Ouyang Si looked at Li Yaxuan in disbelief, and the human part of the mechanical face showed a look of horror.
Li Yaxuan ignored him and turned her gaze towards the dimensional crack that was expanding in the air.
“System…start…dimension…backtrack…” She spoke slowly, and every word seemed to carry supreme majesty.
“No! This is impossible!” Ouyang Si yelled hysterically.
Suddenly, a cooking knife flashed with cold light and silently pierced into Naruto’s forehead…
“Borrow… Chakra… Energy…” Senbongi-chan’s voice was as cold as a whisper from hell… “Puff!”
The sound was like a sharp blade cutting a ripe watermelon, splashing juice everywhere.
However, this time, what splashed out was not red juice, but golden chakra light, exploding in the air like fireworks.
Naruto’s eyes widened, and his azure pupils reflected Senbongi-chan’s expressionless face and the cooking knife in her hand that was still dripping with “blood”.
What flows on the blade is not blood, but chakra that is so rich that it is almost tangible.
“Borrow…chakra…energy…” Senbongi-chan’s voice was like the friction of rusty gears, and every word carried a creepy chill.
The golden chakra light spread rapidly, wrapping Senbongi-chan completely like a golden cocoon.
In the blink of an eye, the already expanding dimensional rift suddenly burst into an even brighter light, as if a supernova had exploded in it.
“boom!”
In the dazzling light, twenty figures fell from the crack like meteors.
“Ah, it’s Luffy!”
“Naruto-kun!”
“Inuyasha-sama!”
Exclamations came one after another, and the air was filled with various scents: passionate, calm, violent, gentle… Twenty heroes from different dimensions descended on this world that was about to collapse at the same time.
Some of them held swords, some waved their fists, some had flames wrapped around their bodies, and some had lightning flashing in their eyes… Each of them exuded a powerful aura, as if they could tear apart this chaotic space.
“This…are we going to hold a heroes’ conference?” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but complain, but his eyes were shining with excitement.
Although the situation was critical, the appearance of so many classic characters at the same time made the scene simply exciting!
However, before he could fully appreciate this “epic” scene, something strange happened again.
“Start the dimensional devouring program!” The three members of the royal family suddenly shouted in unison, their voices full of fanaticism and determination.
The fragments of the Four Souls Jade in their hands, like three hungry seeds, instantly took root in the holy book in the hands of the green tea villain.
The holy scripture, which had originally dimmed, burst into dazzling light again, stronger and more crazy than before.
Cracks began to appear on the holy book, like an eggshell about to hatch.
But what emerged from the cracks was not hope for new life, but despairing darkness.
“Hey, hey, hey, this is going to be a disaster!” Lin Qifan’s face finally changed. He felt a strong suction coming from the holy book, as if it was going to suck him in.
“Soul-scattering Iron Claw!” Inuyasha roared, wielding Tessaiga in his hand and slashing at the Holy Scripture with a fierce demonic energy.
“Rubber…machine gun!” Luffy was not to be outdone. He waved his arms wildly like a machine gun, and countless fist shadows smashed towards the Holy Scripture like a rainstorm.
However, their attack did not stop the mutation of the Holy Scripture.
“Boom!”
With a loud bang that shook the earth, the holy book suddenly exploded.
But instead of breaking into pieces, it turned into a giant, wriggling mass of… mushroom tentacles?!
This tentacle is dozens of meters long and covered with densely packed suction cups, each of which flashes a strange light.
The tentacles danced wildly in the air, making a disgusting sticky sound, like a giant octopus from the abyss.
“What the hell is this?!” Lin Qifan felt his scalp tingling and his SAN value dropped rapidly.
At this moment, the system interface that was originally suspended in the air suddenly flashed a dazzling red light, and a new line of warning popped up:
“Warning! SSR-level dimensional intruder detected…First-generation observer!”
At the same time, circles of golden lines suddenly appeared in Li Yaxuan’s originally clear pupils, like an ancient totem, mysterious and majestic.
Her eyes became cold and deep, as if they could see through all illusions.
In the distance, the huge mushroom tentacles were still wriggling, making a heart-pounding growl.
There was a suffocating feeling of oppression in the air, as if something terrible was about to happen.
“Yaxuan…you…” Lin Qifan looked at the changes in Li Yaxuan and felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.
He was about to ask when Li Yaxuan suddenly turned her head and looked at him with a cold look he had never seen before. She slowly said, “Lin Qifan… remember, don’t trust anyone…”
Before she finished her words, her figure disappeared like a ghost.
Chapter 22: One Hundred Thousand Chakra Rice Balls Overwhelm the Black Market Square (Old Version)
Lin Qifan was filled with confusion and anxiety at Li Yaxuan’s words and disappearance. Suddenly, a strange roar was heard. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of hungry infected people with green eyes going crazy in the direction of the black market square. The scene was horrifying. He couldn’t help but swear, not wanting to become a “meal” for the infected.
“Roar! Roar! Roar!”
In the black market square, the group of hungry infected people with green eyes went completely crazy, like sharks that smelled blood!
They let out beast-like roars from their throats, and their saliva mixed with unknown liquid dripped onto the ground, making a “sizzling” corrosion sound. The scene was even more exciting than the Resident Evil!
“Oh my god, have we disturbed the zombie den?!” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but swear. He didn’t want to experience the feeling of being “disemboweled”.
At this critical moment, Li Yaxuan decisively bit her fingertips, and bright red blood dripped onto the ground, quickly spreading out to form a complex formation shining with golden light.
“Fortunately… before the system was contaminated, I remember it recorded… the infected people’s instinctive fear of sweets!” Li Yaxuan’s voice trembled slightly, but her eyes were unusually firm.
She is gambling that the “underlying logic” before the system was contaminated can still be effective!
This is really a race against time!
Lin Qifan thought, if they lost the bet, everyone would have to “die” here!
“Naruto! It’s up to you!” Lin Qifan shouted, placing his hopes on this passionate young man.
“Leave it to me!” Naruto responded confidently, quickly forming seals with both hands, “Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!”
Waves of white smoke exploded, and in the blink of an eye, thirty Naruto clones appeared in the square. The scene was so spectacular!
Each clone holds a huge “Chakra Michelin Rice Ball” that exudes an enticing aroma!
This rice ball is not simple. It is a “specially supplied” delicacy that Lin Qifan redeemed from the system using his foodie points. Not only are the ingredients exquisite, but it also incorporates Naruto’s chakra. The aroma is so overbearing!
“Brothers! Use chakra to amplify the aroma of the food! Let these ‘starving ghosts’ smell it carefully and know what the ‘temptation of delicious food’ is!” Naruto’s original body gave an order and his clones immediately took action.
They continuously injected chakra into the rice balls, and the already rich aroma instantly exploded!
“Buzz——”
Visible ripples of fragrance seemed to appear in the air, spreading in all directions like a tsunami.
The taste is simply amazing!
It is sweet but not greasy, fragrant and delicious, with a hint of the “strength” of chakra. Just one sniff will whet your appetite, and you can’t wait to pounce on it and take a bite!
“What…what is this smell?!”
“It smells so good! I…I don’t think I’m hungry anymore?”
“Rice balls… they taste like rice balls!”
The infected people who were originally roaring wildly, miraculously quieted down after smelling this fragrance.
They all widened their green eyes, staring at the rice ball in Naruto’s hand, making gurgling sounds in their throats, just like “greedy cats” seduced by delicious food.
“There’s hope!” Lin Qifan’s eyes lit up. It seemed that Li Yaxuan’s “gamble” was successful!
However, this is just the beginning.
“Luffy! Don’t just stand there! It’s your turn to perform!” Lin Qifan shouted at Luffy who was rubbing his hands together.
“Oh! I can’t wait!” Luffy shouted excitedly, his body swelling up like a balloon, “Rubber-Giant Battle Axe!”
Luffy’s right leg instantly turned into a huge foot, and with the force of thunder, it smashed hard on the main control console of the black market!
“Boom!” With a loud bang, sparks flew, and the main console was smashed to pieces!
“I’m going to tear down this crappy place!” Luffy roared, charging around in the black market like a mad bull.
However, at the moment when Luffy smashed the main console, the screen that originally displayed various data suddenly flickered a few times, and a strange picture flashed by –
The royal emblem actually overlaps with the black market logo!
“This is…” Luffy’s pupils suddenly shrank. Although he was usually careless, he was not stupid at all at critical moments.
What does this picture mean? The royal family and the black market…are in collusion?!
This is really a “shocking piece of news”! If Lin Qifan knew about it, he would probably be shocked!
“Luffy, watch out behind you!”
At this moment, Li Yaxuan suddenly screamed.
Before Luffy could react, he felt a strong wind coming from behind. He subconsciously dodged to the side and barely avoided the attack of a black shadow.
“Who is it?!” Luffy roared, turned around and saw that the people who attacked him were actually several royal members wearing golden armor!
“You…how come you are here?!” Luffy was shocked. He remembered that these people were the royal family’s “official thugs” and were very powerful!
“Humph! Straw Hat Boy, your death has come!” The leading noble in golden armor sneered.
“Want to kill me? Not that easy!” Although Luffy was shocked, he did not retreat. He assumed a fighting stance, ready to fight to the death with these golden-armored nobles.
“Luffy, don’t be impulsive!”
Just then, a familiar voice came from a distance.
Luffy turned around and saw Wang Tiezhu holding his chest and stumbling towards him…
“Wang Tiezhu?!” Luffy exclaimed.
“Hurry up…there is a treasury in the underground vault of the black market…” Wang Tiezhu’s voice was as hoarse as a broken bellows. He staggered, and every step seemed to be dancing on the edge of a knife. Blood kept dripping through his fingers, staining the collar of his shirt red.
He reached out his hand and tried to grab Lin Qifan.
Before he could finish his words, a dark, vine-like shadow suddenly emerged from the ground, bringing with it a disgusting stench, and wrapped around Wang Tiezhu’s neck like lightning.
The shadow strangled Wang Tiezhu so tightly that his face instantly turned purple. His eyes widened and his eyeballs were bloodshot, as if they were about to burst in the next second.
He struggled in vain, scratching the vines that were as hard as steel with his hands, but he couldn’t leave even a trace.
“Tiezhu!” Lin Qifan’s eyes were bloodshot as he watched Wang Tiezhu being dragged underground. The horrifying scene was deeply imprinted in his mind.
He felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and all the hair on his body stood up.
This sudden change left him completely unable to react.
At this moment, a deafening roar, accompanied by a violent shaking of the ground, brought Lin Qifan back from his shock.
Before he could figure out what was happening, he felt the back of his neck tighten and he was pulled backwards by a huge force.
“Be careful!” Li Yaxuan’s voice sounded in my ears, with a hint of fear and urgency.
Lin Qifan felt dizzy and his body tumbled uncontrollably, finally falling heavily into a foul-smelling sewer ditch.
Before he could complain about the suffocating smell, he heard a harsh sound of metal friction behind him, followed by an earth-shaking explosion.
The huge shock wave blew off the cover of the drainage ditch, splashing mud and water everywhere. Lin Qifan felt like his eardrums were about to be broken.
He looked up and through the dust and smoke saw a huge crater appear where they had just stood.
Thick smoke was billowing from the bottom of the pit and the air was filled with a burning smell.
“The spare mechanical body of the green tea villain Ouyang Si!” Li Yaxuan got up from the ground and dusted herself off.
Lin Qifan also climbed out of the gutter, wiped the mud off his face, and said with lingering fear: “Fortunately you reacted quickly, otherwise we would have become meat patties now.”
“Of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one!” Li Yaxuan grabbed Lin Qifan’s hand and pulled him away, “Let’s get out of here first!”
At this moment, a shrill chirping sound suddenly rang out in the square, and then a rich scent of cherry blossoms spread, surging around like a tide.
“What’s going on?” Lin Qifan was stunned for a moment and turned to look at the square.
In the square, those 100,000 chakra rice balls suddenly exploded at the same time, like blooming cherry blossoms, emitting an intoxicating fragrance.
The originally crazy infected people, after smelling the fragrance, actually retreated like the tide, revealing a golden armored statue in the center of the square.
This statue…is clearly the symbol of the royal family!
Lin Qifan suddenly realized something. He stopped abruptly, staring at the golden-armored statue, his pupils suddenly contracting.
At the same time, Li Yaxuan also noticed the statue. Her face changed and she exclaimed, “Oh no! We’ve fallen into a trap!”
“What does this mean?” Lin Qifan looked confused.
“This… this is…” Li Yaxuan pointed at the statue and said in a trembling voice, “This is the royal family’s… secret…”
At this moment, a cold voice came from behind the statue: “Haha, it seems you have discovered it…”
A figure wearing a black robe and with a strange smile on his face slowly walked out from behind the statue.
“It’s you?!” Lin Qifan recognized this person at a glance. It was the blackened green tea villain!
“Yes, it’s me.” The evil Ouyang Si sneered, “You didn’t expect that everything is under my control…”
She slowly raised her right hand, and a black ball of energy condensed in her hand.
“Now… the game is over!”
“Yaxuan! Get out of the way!” Lin Qifan shouted.
Li Yaxuan pushed Lin Qifan away, but she didn’t have time to dodge…
“No!……”
Lin Qifan watched helplessly…
“Drip…drip…drip…”
Lin Qifan looked at the countdown that was flashing wildly on the system interface…
Chapter 23 Maid Tears Off the Disguise Purification System (Old Version)
Lin Qifan looked at the countdown that was flashing wildly on the system interface. The bright red numbers were jumping like a death warrant, his ears were buzzing, and a shadow of death was looming over him.
The system prompt sounded sharp and piercing: “Warning! System contamination level 99%! Self-destruct program activated! Ten…nine…eight…” Every second seemed to be infinitely stretched, and my heart seemed to be about to jump out of my throat.
Suddenly, a soft but firm force pushed him down, his cheek hit something soft, and a faint jasmine scent lingered at the tip of his nose.
“Use body temperature to activate the blood!” Li Yaxuan’s voice was rapid and low, with a hint of determination he had never heard before.
Before Lin Qifan could react, he felt dizzy and a warm touch spread from his cheeks to his whole body.
He was held tightly in Li Yaxuan’s arms, and her heartbeat vibrated his eardrums like a drum.
Wait, this feeling… this… isn’t this the breast of a maid costume…? !
His mind went blank, as if he had suddenly won a five million dollar prize, or as if he was about to be struck by lightning in the next second.
The next moment, Li Yaxuan’s maid skirt, the tacky uniform that he had complained about countless times, actually shattered into countless golden streams in the air, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, revealing her slender back.
There, an intricate golden emblem was emitting dazzling light, like a burning flame or a flowing galaxy.
The shape of the emblem is like an eye and a whirlpool, full of mystery and antiquity.
“In the name of the Creator…Purify!” Li Yaxuan’s voice was clear and high-pitched, as if it came from ancient chants, with an unquestionable majesty.
A powerful wave of energy burst out from her, sweeping across the space like a shock wave.
Lin Qifan felt like he was thrown into a washing machine and spun dry, with all his internal organs shifting out of place.
At this moment, a cold metal claw suddenly pierced Lin Qifan’s chest. The severe pain made his eyes go black and he almost fainted.
“Great! The protagonist group’s self-destruction program has been activated!” Ouyang Si’s sharp and piercing voice exploded in his ears, full of crazy pride.
However, the crazy laughter stopped abruptly, replaced by a shrill scream.
When the mechanical arm touched the golden emblem on Li Yaxuan’s back, it began to tremble violently, emitting white smoke and sizzling like an iron block doused with sulfuric acid.
“What…what’s going on?!” The Green Tea Villain’s voice was filled with shock and fear, as if he had seen something incredible.
Li Yaxuan’s eyes were cold and sharp, as if they could see through all illusions. “Your game… is over.”
The sound of the sharp blade breaking through the air, accompanied by the abrupt scream of the green tea villain, was like a symphony of death.
Lin Qifan felt as if he had been hit head-on by a dump truck, and his internal organs were probably all mixed up in a mess.
He raised his head with difficulty, his vision was blood red, and he could only see a few blurry figures.
“Inuyasha, chop the bastards off of him!” Lin Qifan roared hoarsely, his voice like a broken bellows.
Inuyasha’s red eyes were burning with rage at this moment.
He didn’t need Lin Qifan’s orders at all. His claws were already thirsty from the moment the green tea villain’s sneak attack succeeded.
“Asshole, how dare you touch my master!” Inuyasha roared, and the Tessaiga in his hand instantly burst out with dazzling demonic energy, striking the green tea villain in the face.
At the same time, Yue Jianye also moved.
She muttered something, and the rosary in her hand instantly turned into streams of light, flying towards Ouyang Si like stars in the sky.
Each rosary contains powerful spiritual power and has the power to purify all evil.
Inuyasha’s Tessaiga has the power to split mountains and break rocks; Tsukimiya’s rosary has the power to exorcise evil spirits and suppress demons.
The two forces came together and instantly overwhelmed the green tea villain.
“Puff! Puff!”
Two dull sounds of sharp weapons entering flesh were heard simultaneously.
Inuyasha’s Tessaiga and Tsukimiyo’s rosary actually pierced through Ouyang Si’s mechanical arm at the same time!
“Ouch!”
The green tea villain let out a shrill scream, the sound was even more unpleasant than slaughtering a pig, and it hurt people’s eardrums.
His mechanical arm emitted bursts of black smoke and made a sizzling sound as if it was corroded.
Lin Qifan coughed up a mouthful of blood foam and forced a smile with difficulty.
He looked at the miserable appearance of the green tea villain and finally felt relieved.
“Damn you, now you have come to this day!” Lin Qifan cursed with a smile, the severe pain in his chest making him grimace.
He turned to look at Li Yaxuan, but found that she still had her eyes closed, and the golden emblem behind her was emitting an increasingly dazzling light.
The light was sacred and pure, as if it could purify all the filth in the world.
The system’s countdown has stopped, replaced by a cheerful prompt tone.
“Ding! System purification successful! Congratulations to the host for successfully surviving the crisis!”
Before Lin Qifan could breathe a sigh of relief, the system prompt sounded again.
“Ding! SSR-level gourmet bible coordinates detected… open?”
Lin Qifan was stunned. SSR-level gourmet bible? It sounds awesome!
“Turn it on! Must be turned on!” Lin Qifan chose to turn it on without hesitation.
However, the next moment, the system’s prompt sound made him feel like he was falling into an icy cave.
“Warning! There is a price to pay for opening the SSR-level gourmet canon: the observer’s bloodline will be permanently exposed! Are you sure?”
The observer’s bloodline is permanently exposed! Confirm?”
The observer’s bloodline is permanently exposed? What the hell is that?
Lin Qifan subconsciously looked at Li Yaxuan, only to find that her body was trembling slightly, as if she was in great pain.
She bit her lips tightly, her face was as pale as paper, and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down her cheeks.
“Yaxuan, are you okay?” Lin Qifan asked anxiously.
Li Yaxuan slowly opened her eyes.
“Master…I…” Li Yaxuan’s voice was weak and powerless.
Lin Qifan’s heart sank to the bottom. He knew that things might not be that simple.
However, before he could ask in detail, something strange happened again!
The royal members who were standing aside like sculptures suddenly moved!
They slowly took off the golden masks on their heads, revealing their true faces hidden beneath the masks.
Those were mechanical faces that looked exactly like the green tea villains!
“Hehehe…Hehehe…”
The three mechanical faces laughed eerily at the same time. That laughter was like the evil spirits from hell, which made people shudder.
“Congratulations, everyone…” the leading mechanical face said slowly, his voice was cold and mechanical, without any emotion, “…becoming the culinary sacrifice of the new dimension!”
Lin Qifan only felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
He looked at the three mechanical faces in front of him, his heart filled with despair.
What the hell is going on? Could it be that the entire royal family is made up of cyborgs?!
“Lu Yifei!” Lin Qifan roared, trying to summon his strongest fighting force.
However, he found that the energy in his body seemed to have been drained, and he was unable to summon Lu Yifei!
“Don’t waste your energy.” The leading mechanical face sneered, “In this space, your strength… is useless.”
Lin Qifan’s heart was completely chilled. He knew that he might really be in trouble.
Just then, he suddenly heard a crisp “pop” sound.
The sound was crisp and harsh, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking all the peace.
Lin Qifan turned his head subconsciously and saw Lu Yifei standing in the magnificent royal banquet hall. He had an elusive smile on his face and was holding a broken porcelain plate in his hand…
Chapter 24: The Battle for the Food Canon at the Royal Banquet (Old Version)
In the magnificent royal banquet hall, the crystal chandeliers sparkle brightly, illuminating the long tables covered with delicious delicacies.
What should have been an elegant and luxurious scene with people toasting each other was broken by a sudden change.
“Snap!” With a crisp sound, the porcelain plate fragments flew everywhere, like thunder exploding in the silent banquet hall.
Everyone looked towards the source of the voice in astonishment – it was the summoned Pirate King, Lu Yifei.
There were still fragments of the porcelain plate in his hands, but there was a strange expression on his face, as if he had smelled something extraordinary.
“There are chakra residues in this sashimi!” Lu Yifei’s voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard throughout the banquet hall.
His brows were furrowed, and his eyes scanned the dishes around him sharply, as if he was looking for some clues.
“This thing… doesn’t look like an ordinary fish, it looks like… it has been transformed by a ninja!”
There was an uproar in the banquet hall, and the guests looked at each other and whispered.
Chakra?
Ninja?
What are these weird things?
Is there some hidden conspiracy at this banquet?
Just as everyone was talking, an old figure appeared out of nowhere in the center of the banquet.
He was wearing a simple robe, his hair and beard were all white, but he looked energetic and his eyes were bright.
What was even more shocking was that a circle of golden kitchen utensils appeared behind him, including knives, forks, ladles, spoons, pots, bowls, and bowls, all shining brightly, as if a miracle had descended.
“If you want to live, follow me to the cellar…” The old man’s voice was low and hoarse, with an unquestionable majesty, “…the coordinates of the holy book are engraved on the cooking table there.”
The old man’s words were like a thunderbolt, splitting the hypocritical mask of the banquet.
The faces of the royal family members turned pale in an instant. They could no longer maintain their disguise and their hideous true faces were revealed.
“Click, click, click…” A series of teeth-grinding mechanical sounds were heard, and the bodies of the royal family members, who were originally well-dressed, began to twist and deform, with their metal skeletons exposed, and eventually turned into giant mechanical spiders!
Eight sharp metal legs made harsh sounds as they scratched the ground, and their compound eyes, flashing with cold light, stared at Lin Qifan and the others with murderous intent.
“Oh my god! What the hell is this?!” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but swear. This sudden change caught him off guard.
He grabbed Li Yaxuan’s hand and pushed her towards a secret door in the corner of the banquet hall. “Go get the Holy Scripture! I’ll use the system to summon twenty substitutes to cover you!”
Although Li Yaxuan’s heart was filled with fear, she gritted her teeth and rushed into the secret passage without hesitation.
She knew that now was not the time to hesitate, as Lin Qifan’s safety and the fate of the entire world depended on her.
“Hehehe… Want to run? Not that easy!” The mechanical spiders let out sharp hisses, waving their sharp metal legs, and pounced towards Lin Qifan.
Lin Qifan took a deep breath, mobilized all the energy in his body, and operated the system frantically, muttering to himself: “System! Summon twenty substitutes for me! Luffy, Zoro, Naruto, and Sasuke, all of you, come at me! Even if I risk my life today, I must stop these iron lumps!”
A golden light flashed, and twenty figures instantly appeared in the banquet hall.
There is the Straw Hat Boy waving a straw hat, the green-haired guy holding three knives, the blond and blue-eyed guy, and the cool and handsome JIHU…all kinds of anime characters gathered together to form an indestructible line of defense.
“Guys! Go ahead! Beat up these pieces of junk!” Lin Qifan gave the order, and twenty stand-ins rushed towards the mechanical spider like arrows from a bow. A world-shaking battle began…
At this moment, a weak voice came from behind Lin Qifan: “Be careful…the black…market…”
Lin Qifan turned around suddenly and saw a familiar figure lying on the ground, dying.
That’s… Wang Tiezhu!
“The black market… and… the royal family…” Wang Tiezhu uttered a few words with difficulty, his eyes filled with fear and despair, “They… colluded…”
Before he finished speaking, Wang Tiezhu’s body turned into starlight and dissipated into the air.
Lin Qifan stood there in a daze, his heart in turmoil.
Black market and royal collusion?
What is going on?
Lu Yifei’s rubber body is really amazing. It instantly expanded into a giant python that covered the sky and the sun. The muscle lines were simply the ultimate dream of the gym.
He roared, bit a mechanical spider and wrapped his body around it. The harsh sound of metal friction was so sharp that it made people’s teeth ache.
“Crack! Crack!”
Under Lu Yifei’s extraordinary power, cracks began to appear on the metal shell of the mechanical spider, and sparks flew, like a grand fireworks show, but the smell was not very pleasant, a strong smell of motor oil.
Lin Qifan was so impressed by what he saw that he exclaimed, this is what true great strength brings about miracles!
However, something unexpected happened.
Lu Yifei’s originally ferocious python body suddenly stiffened, and its movements became slow, even a little… weird.
“Something’s wrong! What happened to Luffy?” Lin Qifan’s heart skipped a beat, and he always felt that something bad was going to happen.
At this moment, Lu Yifei’s giant python head suddenly turned to Lin Qifan. His eyes, which were originally full of passion, now flashed with a faint green light, and his voice became hoarse and gloomy: “Don’t believe the old man… He is the source of the virus!”
This voice… is Wang Tiezhu? !
Lin Qifan was stunned for a moment. Wasn’t Wang Tiezhu already dead?
Could it be… Could it be that he is possessed by a ghost?
This different world really has all kinds of stuff!
“What the hell! Brother Tiezhu, what are you doing?!” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but swear. The direction of the plot was even more exciting than a roller coaster.
While Lin Qifan was still in shock, there was movement from Li Yaxuan’s side.
She had arrived at the center of the banquet hall without knowing when, holding in her hand an ancient-looking emblem with some strange symbols carved on it, emitting a faint silver light.
“In the name of the Creator…” Li Yaxuan’s voice was cold and firm, completely different from her usual gentle and virtuous image, “…The Holy Book of Gourmet is here!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Yaxuan suddenly stabbed the emblem into the floor of the banquet hall.
The entire banquet hall began to shake violently, the ground began to crack, and golden rays of light gushed out from the cracks, eventually converging into a dazzling beam of light that shot straight into the sky.
In the center of the light column, an ancient book slowly emerged. On the cover of the book, the title was written in a language that Lin Qifan could not understand at all, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
A food bible!
Finally appeared!
At the moment when the holy book emerged, the structure of space seemed to be distorted, and a dark dimensional crack tore open above the banquet hall, from which countless huge mushroom tentacles stretched out. The surface of those tentacles was covered with mucus and they were still wriggling constantly, which made people’s scalps numb.
“What the hell is this?!” Lin Qifan felt that his three views were about to be refreshed. This alien world was simply a hodgepodge of all kinds of weird creatures!
What made Lin Qifan feel even more horrified was that he discovered that there was a human arm embedded in one of the tentacles. The arm was already bloody, but Lin Qifan still recognized it at a glance – it was Wang Tiezhu’s severed arm!
“Ugh…” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but dry heave. The scene was really disgusting.
At this moment, the system’s prompt sounded suddenly, with unprecedented urgency and warning:
“Warning! Warning! Awakening of an SSR-level local force has been detected! Host, please be prepared to respond!”
SSR level? What level of existence is this?
Lin Qifan’s heart sank to the bottom. He felt like he was caught in a huge whirlpool, and this whirlpool was constantly accelerating and could swallow him up at any time.
He suppressed the fear in his heart and tried to calm himself down. Now was not the time to panic. He had to find a way to deal with the crisis at hand.
He took a deep breath and scanned everything around him, trying to find some clues, some clues that could help him get out of this predicament.
His gaze finally fell on the mushroom tentacle where Wang Tiezhu’s broken arm was embedded. He reached out his hand as if possessed by a ghost and pinched the broken arm.
The moment his fingertips touched the skin, Lin Qifan felt a cold touch. Then, he discovered that under Wang Tiezhu’s skin, there were some lines shining with emerald light.
What is that?
A trace of doubt flashed through Lin Qifan’s mind, but he had no time to think, because he felt that a powerful force was awakening…
“Yaxuan, be careful!” Lin Qifan shouted
Before Li Yaxuan had time to respond, she saw Lin Qifan pinching Wang Tiezhu’s broken arm, and his expression became extremely serious.
She didn’t know what Lin Qifan was going to do, but she believed that he must have his own reasons…
Chapter 25 Dimensional Coordinates in the Broken Arm (Old Version)
Lin Qifan pinched Wang Tiezhu’s cold broken arm, his fingertips touched the emerald-like lines under the skin, and a chill ran straight into his heart along his fingertips.
“This… this is exactly the same light as when the Holy Scripture awakened!” He exclaimed, his voice trembling with disbelief.
This thing is weird no matter how you look at it!
Li Yaxuan had been paying close attention to Lin Qifan, and her heart tightened when she saw his face suddenly change.
Before she could ask, the observer emblem on her chest suddenly emitted a buzzing resonance, and a strange energy wave surged in her body.
“It’s the dimensional anchor point…” Li Yaxuan’s face turned pale and her voice trembled, “He…he was dragged into the core of the matrix!”
“Maternal core? What the hell is that thing?” Lin Qifan felt his head buzzing. The amount of information was a bit too much for him to digest in a short time.
How could a broken arm be involved in the dimensional anchor point and the mother core?
In this strange world, all kinds of weird things can happen!
“Boom!” A loud noise interrupted Lin Qifan’s thoughts.
The dome of the banquet hall was shattered by a huge force, and rubble and dust fell like raindrops.
Lu Yifei transformed into a giant rubber python, poked his head out of the hole, and shouted anxiously: “Hurry up and use the chakra rice ball! There’s something strange about this spore!”
Lin Qifan looked up and saw countless spores flashing with strange green light, gushing out from the ground like fountains, filling the air and emitting a disgusting stench.
These spores were the culprits that infected Wang Tiezhu and turned him into a “mushroom man”!
“Chakra rice ball? Now? Seriously?” Lin Qifan was confused. It was already this time and he was still thinking about eating?
Has this guy’s brain also turned into rubber?
But looking at Lu Yifei’s anxious expression, Lin Qifan realized the seriousness of the matter.
Although this guy looks careless at ordinary times, he is still very reliable at critical moments.
He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and quickly took out three chakra rice balls with tempting fragrance from the system space.
“I hope this thing is really useful…” Lin Qifan muttered, crushing the rice ball in his hand. A strange energy wave instantly spread out, forming an invisible barrier that enveloped him and Li Yaxuan.
However, at this moment, the emerald patterns on the broken arm suddenly burst out with a brighter light, and a black crack appeared out of nowhere, emitting heart-pounding energy fluctuations.
“Oh my god! What’s going on?” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but swear. He felt that the strange things he encountered today were more than those in the past few months since he came here.
Li Yaxuan’s expression became more serious. She stared at the crack intently.
“Uh…” Lu Yifei seemed to feel something was wrong. His huge rubber body trembled slightly and he let out a low roar.
“This… this is…” Lin Qifan pointed at the crack, his voice trembling, unable to speak a complete sentence. Not good!” Li Yaxuan suddenly exclaimed…
“Oh no! It’s a space fluctuation!” Before Li Yaxuan finished her words, the black crack suddenly expanded, and a powerful suction force drew everything around it in.
Lin Qifan felt the world spinning, and heard the sound of whistling wind in his ears, and then… bang!
He fell heavily to the ground, his buttocks burning with pain.
“Oh my god, this landing posture is so unfriendly!” Lin Qifan rubbed his butt and complained with a gritted teeth.
He looked up and saw that the surrounding environment had changed dramatically.
The originally magnificent banquet hall was nowhere to be seen, replaced by a dark and damp space. The air was filled with a disgusting stench, as if one was in a huge pile of rotten mushrooms.
At this moment, a golden figure jumped out from the crack that had not yet completely closed, accompanied by a loud “Rasengan!”, and dozens of blond and blue-eyed boys appeared at the same time, holding rice balls with a strange fragrance in their hands.
“The Nine-Tails’ chakra amplification… can temporarily purify the spores!” One of the young men shouted, and thirty shadow clones crushed the rice balls in their hands at the same time.
A powerful energy wave instantly spread out like a shock wave, dispersing all the green spores in the surroundings.
“Naruto? Why are you here too?” Lin Qifan looked at the familiar figure in front of him, confused.
This time, the meta-time travel system can really summon anyone!
Before he could react, a harsh sound of metal friction came from all directions.
Countless huge mechanical spiders came like a tide and surrounded them.
These spiders were pitch black with a metallic luster, and their eight sharp legs left deep marks on the ground.
“What’s going on? Spider-Man’s fan meeting?” Lin Qifan complained subconsciously.
But soon, he couldn’t laugh anymore.
Because he discovered that the shells of these mechanical spiders were engraved with the same emerald patterns as those on Wang Tiezhu’s broken arm.
“It turns out that the royal family is the matrix!” Lin Qifan suddenly realized, and a chill surged in his heart.
No wonder the royal family was so indifferent to the “Mushroom Man” incident, it turns out they were the mastermind behind it!
“Run! These spiders are not ordinary mechanical creatures!” Li Yaxuan’s face became extremely solemn. She grabbed Lin Qifan’s hand and pulled him to the side to dodge.
At this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently, and a huge mushroom tentacle pierced through the floor from the ground and attacked them like a giant python.
“Oh my god! This is too exciting!” Lin Qifan exclaimed, pulling Li Yaxuan, Naruto and his shadow clones, and dodged the tentacles’ attack in a panic.
“We can’t stay here for long! Follow me!” Li Yaxuan made a prompt decision and led everyone to a hidden cellar entrance.
The moment they jumped into the cellar, Lin Qifan looked back and saw hundreds of clones of Wang Tiezhu floating in the culture chamber. Each clone had a strange smile on his face and his eyes were glowing green, like evil spirits crawling out of hell.
“This… this is too…” Lin Qifan took a breath of cold air, feeling that his three views had been refreshed.
This strange world is indeed crazier than he had imagined!
After entering the cellar, Li Yaxuan immediately activated the hidden mechanism, and a heavy stone door slowly fell down, isolating them from the outside world.
“Huh… I’m finally safe…” Lin Qifan let out a long sigh and sat down on the ground, feeling like he had experienced a nightmare.
“Safe? I’m afraid…” Li Yaxuan’s expression was still solemn. Before she finished speaking, a crisp “click” sound was heard.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the rosary around Yue Jianye’s waist suddenly… broke.
Chapter 26: The Mechanical Heart Under the Royal Golden Armor (Old Version)
Lin Qifan and the others stared at the rosary in astonishment, and Yue Jianye’s eyes widened, her face full of disbelief. The originally warm rosary seemed to be corroded by an evil force, the light quickly dimmed, and the emerald green energy corroded each bead at a speed visible to the naked eye. The atmosphere instantly became tense and depressing.
Before Lin Qifan could even sit down, he heard a “crack”, as if a bomb had been thrown into the calm lake.
He looked up suddenly and saw that the rosary on Yue Jianye’s waist, which usually shone with a soft light, was now corroded rapidly as if it had been splashed with sulfuric acid. The emerald green energy spread wildly like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and finally broke into a pile of waste with a “snap”.
“Shit, what’s going on?” Lin Qifan jumped up with a somersault. His instinct as a game geek made him smell something unusual instantly – this was definitely a sign that the boss was going to use a big move!
Yue Jianye’s face was pale, and his eyes, which had been as calm as water, were now filled with shock and fear.
She stared intently into the depths of the cellar, where a faint green light was emanating, as if something evil was awakening.
“This… this mechanical heart… is devouring dimensions!” Yue Jianye’s voice trembled slightly, as if he had discovered some incredible secret.
“Huh? Swallowed dimension? What is that?” Lin Qifan looked confused. He was familiar with the word dimension. It was a two-dimensional wife!
But what the hell is Devouring Dimension?
Could it be possible that this thing could eat all his wives?
“Don’t just stand there! Think of a solution quickly!” Lu Yifei’s angry voice interrupted Lin Qifan’s wild thoughts.
His arms were stretched out like two giant pythons, stuck on a huge mechanical device deep in the cellar.
That thing looked like a giant heart, except it was made entirely of metal, covered with complicated gears and pipes, and emitting a sickening green light.
Lu Yifei’s rubber arm was now stuck between the gears of the heart, making a harsh “squeaking” sound.
“What the hell is this thing? It’s so hard! My rubber fruit ability is about to be worn out!” Lu Yifei complained with a grimace while trying hard to stop the gears from turning.
“Wait… this smell… ugh!” Lu Yifei’s face suddenly changed, as if he smelled something extremely disgusting.
“Something’s wrong! This smell… The bearings inside are made of the bones of the infected!”
“Shit! Bones? Bearings?” Lin Qifan felt his stomach churning. What the hell is this crazy design?
How perverted does one have to be to come up with the idea of ​​using the bones of infected people as bearings?
“Yaxuan, do you know what this is?” Lin Qifan suppressed his nausea and looked at Li Yaxuan beside him.
He always felt that this maid seemed to know something.
Li Yaxuan’s face looked even uglier than Yue Jianye’s. She bit her lips tightly and stared at the mechanical heart with complicated eyes, as if she saw some extremely painful memories.
“This is… the royal taboo… the remains of the Observer Project…” Li Yaxuan’s voice was a little hoarse, as if she had used up all her strength to squeeze it out.
“Observer Project? What is that? It sounds very advanced.” Lin Qifan’s curiosity was instantly aroused.
“No time to explain! We must stop it!” Li Yaxuan’s eyes suddenly became stern, as if she had made up her mind.
She slowly raised her hands, and an ancient emblem appeared in the palms of her hands, emitting a faint silver light.
“The power of the observer… purification!” Li Yaxuan chanted in a low voice. The light of the emblem became brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire cellar like a small sun.
The mechanical heart suddenly burst out with an even stronger green light, like a huge black hole, madly devouring everything around it.
The emblem on the palm of Li Yaxuan’s hand also began to tremble violently, as if trying to break away from her body.
“Puff!” Li Yaxuan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and her face instantly turned as pale as paper.
She staggered back a few steps, holding onto the wall, and barely managed to keep her balance.
“Yaxuan! Are you okay?” Lin Qifan rushed over to support her, asking with concern.
“Don’t come over! It…it’s biting back at me…” Li Yaxuan said painfully, her body shaking violently, as if she was in great pain.
Only then did Lin Qifan notice that the emblem on Li Yaxuan’s palm was now covered with cracks, like a piece of porcelain about to break.
“The system has backfired… We must use blood…” Li Yaxuan’s voice became weaker and weaker, her eyes began to blur, as if she would faint at any time.
“Bloodline? What bloodline?”
Lin Qifan was bewildered. He was just a time-travelling gamer, so how could he know anything about bloodline? Just then, deep in the cellar, the huge mechanical heart suddenly made a “clicking” sound.
Lu Yifei, who was originally stuck between the gears, was also bounced away by a huge force and fell heavily to the ground.
“Oh my god! This thing… is so powerful!” Lu Yifei said with an embarrassed look on his face, rubbing his sore butt.
The gears of the mechanical heart turned faster and faster, the green light became more and more dazzling, and the entire cellar began to vibrate violently.
Suddenly, cracks began to appear on the surface of the mechanical heart, like an egg about to break out of its shell.
A crisp cracking sound broke the silence of the cellar.
A cold light suddenly flashed before Lin Qifan’s eyes.
Inuyasha appeared in front of the mechanical heart at some point, holding the sharp bone sword and staring at the monster in front of him with cold eyes.
The bone sword pierced through the mechanical spider’s breastplate without hesitation… Inuyasha has such a bad temper!
Before Lin Qifan could even shout “Wait, you reckless man!”, the bone sword emitting a sharp cold light had already stabbed fiercely into the “chest” of the mechanical heart.
“Crack!” There was a crisp sound, like ice being broken or a balloon being punctured.
Lin Qifan could even feel a cool breeze blowing out from the crack, carrying with it a disgusting stench.
Then, an even more disgusting scene appeared.
The originally hard metal shell began to fall down like melted chocolate.
What was exposed was not a sophisticated mechanical structure, but a mass of wriggling flesh emitting a strange green light?
Lin Qifan felt like he was going to vomit. What the hell was this? Was it the set of Resident Evil?
“This is…” Yue Jianye’s voice was filled with fear, “Emerald Matrix! It’s the vengeful spirit that was defeated by you… by the protagonists!”
Vengeful spirit?
Matrix?
Lin Qifan felt that his brain was not enough.
This is too much information, he needs to take it slow.
Wait, the protagonists?
Could it be that the plot of this world is adapted from the games and anime he has played?
Before he could figure out what was going on, something even stranger happened.
He suddenly felt weak, as if he had been working overtime for three days and three nights without sleep, and his whole body felt powerless.
He subconsciously looked at Lu Yifei and Inuyasha and found that their situation was not much better.
Luffy, who was originally full of energy, was now holding his chest and looked pale.
Inuyasha was not much better off. Beads of sweat were falling from his forehead like beads that had broken off a string, and the hand holding Tessaiga was also trembling slightly.
“Fuck, what’s going on? Are you suffering from kidney deficiency?” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but swear.
“Something’s wrong!” Lu Yifei gritted his teeth and said, “This… this thing is sucking our strength!”
“Absorbing power?” Lin Qifan was stunned for a moment, then as if he thought of something, he looked suddenly at his hands.
Sure enough, he saw that his hands were emitting a faint light, and the light was continuously flowing towards the squirming jade mother body.
“System!” Lin Qifan called the system frantically in his mind, “Get the hell out here! What’s going on?”
“Ding! It is detected that the jade mother body is absorbing dimensional energy. The system is converting energy…” The system’s voice sounded mechanically.
“Transform your sister! You are sucking our blood!” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but cursed, “Stop it right now! Otherwise I will complain to you!”
However, the system seemed to have crashed and there was no response.
“Damn it! This broken system failed at the critical moment!” Lin Qifan said gritting his teeth.
He finally understood what was happening.
This crappy system is not a good thing at all. It has been using him and the characters he summoned to charge this so-called Emerald Matrix!
“We must stop it!” Lin Qifan said gritting his teeth.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Now is not the time to complain, he must find a way to resolve the crisis at hand.
At this moment, the wriggling jade mother body suddenly stopped wriggling.
Immediately afterwards, the green energy began to condense, and gradually, it condensed into a human figure.
It was a man’s figure, wearing tattered clothes, with messy hair and a face covered with dirt, looking extremely disheveled.
However, Lin Qifan felt that this figure was inexplicably familiar.
“Wang…Wang Tiezhu?” Lin Qifan widened his eyes and said in disbelief.
Wang Tiezhu was the first person he met in this world and also the person he wanted to help.
However, something happened later and he lost track of Wang Tiezhu.
He had always thought that Wang Tiezhu was dead, but he didn’t expect that he would appear again in this way.
“Don’t… don’t save me…” Wang Tiezhu’s voice was weak and hoarse, “I… I am being controlled… the mother vessel…”
“Iron Pillar!?” Lin Qifan’s heart sank suddenly.
He understood that Wang Tiezhu was not dead, he was just controlled by the Jade Matrix and became its puppet.
“Kill me…kill me…” Wang Tiezhu said painfully, “I…I don’t want to hurt you…”
“This…” Lin Qifan hesitated.
He is not a soft-hearted person, but he really can’t kill someone who once helped him with his own hands.
“Go ahead! It’s his own choice!” Inuyasha said coldly.
“I…” Lin Qifan opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Just then, Li Yaxuan suddenly came over.
Her face was pale and her body was shaky, as if she would fall down at any moment.
However, her eyes were unusually firm.
“Let me do it…” Li Yaxuan said softly.
“Yaxuan! You…” Lin Qifan wanted to stop her, but
Li Yaxuan walked in front of Wang Tiezhu and slowly raised her hand.
The ancient emblem appeared again on the palm of her hand.
“The power of the observer…purification…” Li Yaxuan chanted in a low voice.
The emblem emitted a soft light, illuminating Wang Tiezhu’s face.
A relieved smile appeared on Wang Tiezhu’s face.
However, at this moment, something strange happened again!
Li Yaxuan’s body began to become transparent.
Her figure, like a reflection in the water, began to blur.
“Yaxuan!?” Lin Qifan shouted in horror.
“Don’t use the power of origin…”
Lin Qifan looked at Li Yaxuan’s gradually transparent body, and his mind went blank.
Chapter 27: The Awakening of the Observer Under the Mushroom Cloud (Old Version)
Lin Qifan looked at Li Yaxuan’s gradually transparent body, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand.
He stumbled forward, his voice hoarse like sandpaper rubbing against iron: “Don’t use the power of origin! The system will collapse! You will disappear! Yaxuan! Listen to me! There must be another way!”
He stretched out his hand, trying to grab her, but he only grabbed nothing.
Li Yaxuan’s body, like the morning mist, slowly evaporated in the sunlight.
“It’s too late, Qifan…” Li Yaxuan’s voice was as soft as falling feathers, but with unquestionable determination.
She turned around, with her back to Lin Qifan, and slowly, as if in a ritual, tore off the last piece of fabric of her maid outfit.
The snow-white skin was exposed to the air for just a moment before being replaced by a dazzling light.
Lin Qifan’s eyes were hurt by the sudden bright light and he subconsciously raised his hands to block it.
When he opened his eyes again, the scene before him made him gasp.
A huge star map suddenly appeared on Li Yaxuan’s back. The intricate patterns were like the twinkling stars in the night sky, exuding a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.
This star map was completely different from the emblem that had appeared on her palm before. It was more complete and more vast, as if it contained the mysteries of the universe.
The light of the star map became brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire space in silver-white.
Li Yaxuan’s figure appeared and disappeared in the light, like a god descending, sacred and inviolable.
A powerful energy wave spread out from the star map, making Lin Qifan’s eardrums buzz and the ground began to shake violently.
He felt his soul trembling, as if he was in the vastness of the universe.
“In the name of the Creator…” Li Yaxuan’s voice was ethereal and distant, as if it came from eternity, with a hint of solemnity and determination, “I grant you… the salvation of delicious food!”
When the last word fell, the light of the star map reached its peak.
A visible energy wave spread out in all directions with Li Yaxuan as the center.
Wherever it passed, the rolling mushroom clouds gradually subsided and the toxins in the air began to dissipate.
A strange fragrance spreads, sweet but not greasy, fresh and natural.
When he smelled the fragrance, Lin Qifan felt his body was filled with strength and his spirit was lifted.
However, at this seemingly victorious moment, a harsh sound of metal friction broke the brief silence.
“It’s too late!”
A cold voice came from the depths of the mushroom cloud, with a hint of crazy pride.
A black figure shot out rapidly from the mushroom cloud, like a ghost, and instantly appeared behind Li Yaxuan.
The figure was Ouyang Si. Half of his body had been completely mechanized, shining with a cold metallic luster.
A dangerous red light flashed on his mechanical arm.
Lin Qifan was very familiar with this red light. It was the culprit that had destroyed countless cities and polluted countless lands before – dimensional pollution energy!
“All dimensions will…”
Before Ouyang Si finished speaking, his mechanical arm suddenly pierced into the center of the star map behind Li Yaxuan, or to be more precise, into the core of the mushroom mother body!
“No!!!” Lin Qifan’s eyes were bloodshot and he let out a heart-wrenching roar.
“Uh…” The red light on Ouyang Si’s mechanical arm suddenly went out. He looked at his arm in disbelief and suddenly retracted it as if he had been electrocuted. “How is it possible… my power…”
The shock wave of the explosion, carrying the fishy smell of earth and a burning smell, hit Lin Qifan hard.
He was blown away and rolled like a dead leaf in the wind.
As his vision blurred, he saw that the dazzling light in the center of the mushroom cloud suddenly dimmed, and was replaced by a heart-wrenching silence.
“Yaxuan!” Lin Qifan struggled to get up. His throat felt like a ball of burning coal was blocking it, and he was so hoarse that he could hardly make a sound.
He stumbled towards the center of the mushroom cloud, and every step felt like stepping on red-hot iron, causing unbearable pain.
At this moment, a golden figure flashed past him like lightning, so fast that only the afterimage could be seen.
“Believe me!” A familiar voice exploded in his ears, it was… Naruto!
Lin Qifan was stunned for a moment, then he saw Naruto holding a rice ball with a strange fragrance in his hand. The rice ball was like a little sun, emitting warm light.
His heart trembled, and an inexplicable hope rose in his heart.
Naruto rushed over to the petrified green tea villain and without hesitation stuffed the rice ball into the mother’s open mouth.
“Use rubber power to amplify it!” he roared, his voice full of determination.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yifei, who was standing nearby, suddenly felt his muscles swell up, and his rubberized skin glowed with a metallic luster.
He took a deep breath, and his arms were like two huge rubber cannon barrels, slamming towards the emerald energy core of the mother body!
There was a deafening roar, and the earth shook violently, as if the whole world was collapsing at this moment.
Under Lu Yifei’s giant fist, the emerald energy core instantly shattered into countless pieces like fragile glass, emitting dazzling light.
As the light faded, Lin Qifan saw the mother body shrinking rapidly like a deflated ball, eventually turning into a pool of black liquid, emitting a disgusting stench.
“Won…?” Lin Qifan slumped on the ground weakly, as if all the strength in his body had been drained.
He raised his head and looked in the direction of Li Yaxuan, but found that there was no one there, only a few pieces of fallen clothes, fluttering in the wind like butterflies.
“Yaxuan…” Lin Qifan murmured her name, his heart felt as if it was pierced by a sharp knife, it hurt so much that he couldn’t breathe.
Just then, he suddenly felt a burning sensation on his wrist.
He looked down subconsciously and found that the system interface on his wrist was gradually disappearing and finally turned into a blank.
“The price… is losing the summoning ability?” Lin Qifan was stunned. He didn’t expect that the final victory would come at the cost of losing the system.
A mushroom cloud exploded in the sky, as if doomsday had come, dyeing the entire sky blood red.
Lin Qifan staggered to the place where Li Yaxuan disappeared, picked up a piece of her remaining clothes, and held it tightly in his hand.
The corners of her clothes still lingered with her body temperature and a faint fragrance, which was the smell he was most familiar with.
However, this familiar smell made him even more heartbroken and desperate.
He held Li Yaxuan’s gradually cold hand and felt his heart cooling down bit by bit.
At this moment, a faint light suddenly flashed across the disappearing system interface, and then a line of small words appeared in front of his eyes: Black market auction coordinates – XXX.
“The last prompt from the system… is the coordinates of the black market auction…” Lin Qifan looked at the line of words. What did this mean?
He raised his head and looked at the blood-red sky, his eyes gradually becoming firm.
“Yaxuan, wait for me…” He whispered, with an unquestionable determination in his voice, “I will definitely find you…”
Lin Qifan stared at the disappearing system interface, and suddenly found a countdown on his wrist: 72 hours…
He clenched his fists, “This…”
Chapter 28 Thirty-Day Countdown Dessert Conspiracy (Old Version)
Lin Qifan stared at the disappearing system interface, but a blood-red countdown appeared on his wrist: “The sacrifice period is 30 days… The mission target is the twelve assassins from the black market auction?” Sacrifice?
Assassin?
Isn’t this system playing with fire and getting burned?
He rubbed his temples, feeling that this alien world was even more chaotic than the entertainment industry on Earth, with all kinds of weird things popping up one after another.
He sighed and muttered, “System, what are you trying to do? My heart can’t take it!”
Suddenly, a sweet strawberry scent filled the air, and a fiery red figure leaped out from a dimensional crack that appeared out of nowhere and landed steadily in front of Lin Qifan.
The person who came was the Fairy Queen Erza Shukaletto. She licked the remaining strawberry jam at the corner of her mouth, her eyes sparkling like a kitten that had stolen honey.
“The system said to offer ‘sweet food sacrifice’? That’s perfect! I’ve been researching Fairy Tail’s cake recipes recently…” As she spoke, she pulled out a thick magic notebook from behind her. It was filled with all kinds of weird dessert recipes, such as “flame ice cream” and “meteor cake”, which dazzled Lin Qifan.
“Wait, sweets sacrifice? What the hell?” Lin Qifan was confused. This system was becoming more and more unreliable. It actually required the sacrifice of sweets?
Is this the beginning of opening a dessert shop?
He was about to complain when a deafening explosion suddenly came from the distance. With a “boom”, flames shot up into the sky and thick smoke billowed.
“What happened?” Lin Qifan’s heart tightened and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
Before he finished speaking, Lu Yifei fell from the sky, or rather, fell from the “air”.
He turned into a huge rubber balloon, swaying down, with a few pieces of chocolate crumbs on his face.
“Report to the boss! Twenty drug dealers fell into the chocolate trap! They are crawling into the frosting pile like ants!” He shouted excitedly, his tone full of credit-seeking.
Chocolate trap?
Lin Qifan understood instantly that this must be Lu Yifei’s masterpiece.
This kid is really a genius. He actually used chocolate as bait. His train of thought is unique.
“Well done!” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but give a thumbs up. This operation was simply 666!
“But why twenty? Didn’t the system say there were only twelve assassins?”
“Boss, the intelligence is wrong! According to what I have discovered, in addition to the twelve assassins, there are also eight drug dealers mixed in. They seem to be conducting some kind of deal.” Lu Yifei explained with a hint of pride in his tone, as if to say “Look how powerful I am. I can even find the hidden enemies.”
“Deal? What deal?” Lin Qifan frowned, feeling vaguely uneasy, as if something was going to happen.
At this moment, Erza suddenly closed her magic notebook and said seriously: “According to my speculation, they are trading some new type of poison, and this poison is likely related to ‘Sweet Sacrifice’.”
“Poison?” Lin Qifan was shocked. Could it be that the so-called “sweet sacrifice” of the system was actually a trap?
“Yes, I suspect someone used sweets as a cover, added poison to them, and tried to spread the poison through a black market auction.” Erza’s tone was solemn.
Lin Qifan’s face also turned gloomy. If this was true, the consequences would be disastrous.
He must stop this conspiracy as soon as possible, otherwise the entire alien world will be in crisis.
“Let’s go to the black market auction!” Lin Qifan said decisively, his tone full of firmness and determination.
Erza and Lu Yifei also nodded in agreement.
The three of them quickly rushed towards the direction of the black market auction, and a thrilling contest was about to begin… The warehouse area was filled with a burnt sweet smell, like some kind of ominous omen.
Lin Qifan suddenly felt a chill. He subconsciously looked towards the place where Li Yaxuan had disappeared before. There was no one there, only a small emerald-colored capsule, which was flashing a cold light under the moonlight…
The air in the warehouse area was sticky, with the smell of caramel mixed with some indescribable strange smell, like a dull punch hitting Lin Qifan in the chest.
He turned around suddenly and found that the place where Li Yaxuan had stood before was empty. Only a small emerald capsule fragment was left on the ground, reflecting a strange light in the moonlight.
A chill ran up his spine, and a feeling of extreme uneasiness overwhelmed him like a tide.
At the same time, Li Yaxuan’s figure appeared in the shadows on the other side of the warehouse.
She crushed another emerald capsule, and a thin layer of ice crystals instantly condensed on her fingertips, flickering a faint green light in the dim light.
She licked her fingertips lightly, frowning slightly, and a bitter taste spread across her tongue.
“This is a detoxifying dish sealed with the blood of the Observer… The price is a temporary loss of taste.” She whispered to herself, with a hint of determination in her voice.
For a foodie, losing her sense of taste is like losing her soul, but for the sake of the overall situation, she has no choice.
At this moment, a figure draped in black gauze appeared silently in the center of the warehouse. It was Mrs. Mo.
In her hand she held an exquisite silver tray, on which was a cup of dark red liquid with a strange fragrance.
She walked to the giant dessert tower in the center of the warehouse and slowly poured the liquid in the cup into the chocolate fountain at the top of the tower.
“Mr. Lin, do you really think desserts can protect you from ‘Death Honey’?” She sneered, her voice as cold and piercing as a poisonous snake’s tongue.
Before he finished his words, a fiery red figure cut through the night sky like lightning and pounced towards the cake stand – it was Erza!
With lightning speed, she inserted a peculiarly shaped fork into the cake tower and stirred it vigorously. The originally fragrant cream instantly turned into a strange dark green color.
“What are you doing?!” Mrs. Mo was horrified. She never expected Erza to suddenly attack.
Erza licked the cream on the fork with an intoxicated expression on her face: “Hmm~ It tastes good, but a little bitter. It seems that my ‘strawberry bomb’ is working.”
“Strawberry bomb?” Madam Mo was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and her face turned pale in an instant, “You…you actually poisoned the cake!”
“Same here.” Erza shrugged with an innocent look on her face. “I just gave him a taste of his own medicine.”
Mrs. Mo was so angry that she was shaking all over. She had originally planned to use “Death Honey” to poison Lin Qifan and others, but she didn’t expect that Erza would outwit her.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and prepared to activate the backup plan – releasing poisonous fog.
However, when she pressed the poison mist switch, she found that the warehouse was silent and the expected screams did not appear.
When she looked carefully, she was stunned: the assassins who should have fallen to the ground in pain were now surrounding the cake stand, eating with relish, their mouths full of cream and happy smiles on their faces.
“This…what’s going on?” Mrs. Mo rubbed her eyes in disbelief, suspecting that she was hallucinating.
“Hehe, sorry, Mrs. Mo, your ‘Death Honey’ has been cracked by my ‘Dessert Countermeasure Program’.” Erza said with a smile, with a hint of pride in her tone.
Mrs. Mo then noticed that what was placed on the cake stand were not ordinary desserts, but pieces of “poison” in various shapes.
These “poisons” are disguised as various sweets and contain Erza’s special antidote that can neutralize the toxicity of “Death Honey”.
“A dessert in disguise…a poison countermeasure program?” Mrs. Mo muttered to herself, feeling that her brain was not enough.
Are these people really here to attend the auction?
Why does it feel like I’m at a food festival?
Before she had time to figure it out, she heard a cold voice coming from behind her: “Mrs. Mo, your game is over.”
Madam Mo turned around suddenly, and saw Li Yaxuan appeared behind her without her knowing, holding a dagger that flashed with cold light in her hand…
Chapter 29: Anti-killing Dessert in the Auction Cake (Old Version)
Madam Mo’s eyes widened in shock. Before she could react, Li Yaxuan stabbed at her with a dagger in her hand. Madam Mo dodged to the side, and chaos broke out. The crowd fled in all directions. No one knew who had triggered the mechanism. The originally lively auction hall was in chaos. Then, the cake tower sprayed out poisonous mist, and the atmosphere froze instantly.
In the auction hall, the lively atmosphere of toasting and chatting froze in an instant.
The air was filled with a sweet aroma, but also with a strange sense of deathly silence.
The originally gorgeous cake tower now looked like a dormant monster, with the top cracked and spewing out thick green poisonous mist that spread in all directions like a venomous snake.
“Cough cough…what’s that smell?” A gorgeously dressed lady covered her nose and her face turned pale instantly.
The poisonous fog spread rapidly, and panic exploded among the crowd like a plague.
Screams, curses, and the sounds of tables and chairs colliding were intertwined, and the originally elegant auction venue instantly became a mess.
Li Yaxuan stood on the edge of the chaos, her expression as calm as the calm before the storm.
She slowly raised her right hand, and an ancient emblem appeared on her palm, emitting a faint golden light.
The pattern of the emblem is complex and mysterious, as if it contains some kind of ancient power.
“In the name of the Creator…food is the antidote!” Li Yaxuan’s voice was cold and firm, echoing in the noisy hall like an oracle.
A golden light suddenly burst out, and the emblem turned into starlight, blending into the diffuse poisonous fog.
A strange scene happened. The green poisonous mist seemed to be attracted by some force and quickly gathered towards the direction of the cake tower.
The original strong and pungent smell gradually dissipated, replaced by a richer chocolate aroma.
In the center of the poisonous fog, a huge chocolate statue slowly emerged.
The statue is lifelike, showing a warrior holding a sword and exuding an enticing sweet fragrance.
Twelve assassins in black appeared in the hall at some point. They had been hiding in the crowd, waiting for their chance to strike.
At this moment, they seemed to be controlled by some force, with empty eyes, and walked straight towards the chocolate statue like zombies.
“They…they are controlled by the desire for sweets!” Mrs. Mo, who was hiding in the dark, changed her expression drastically and looked at everything happening in front of her in disbelief.
Her carefully planned poisoning plan was completely disrupted by this sudden change.
“Hey, Madam Mo, long time no see!” A familiar voice sounded in her ears with a hint of teasing.
Mrs. Mo turned around suddenly and saw Lu Yifei appeared behind her at some point, with his signature smirk on his face.
His body stretched out like rubber, turning into a giant python that tightly wrapped around her.
“Remember the icing trap from last time? This time it’s a triple tactic of sea, land and air!” Lu Yifei’s voice echoed in her ears like the whisper of a devil.
Madam Mo struggled desperately but couldn’t break free from Lu Yifei’s restraints.
She felt her body getting tighter and tighter and it was becoming harder to breathe.
Fear surged into her heart like a tide, almost suffocating her.
“You… who are you?” Mrs. Mo spoke with difficulty, her voice trembling.
Lu Yifei didn’t answer, but just smiled even more brightly.
He wrapped his arms around Madam Mo’s body tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to devour her completely.
The chaos in the hall continued, with screams and cries coming one after another.
Yet, in the center of the chaos, there is an eerie silence.
The twelve assassins surrounded the chocolate statue and, like devout believers, greedily nibbled at the chocolate on the statue.
“Click, click…”
The sound of chocolate breaking was particularly clear in the silent hall, like some kind of countdown clock, foreshadowing the coming storm…
The air was filled with a rich chocolate aroma that was sickeningly sweet, but it couldn’t cover up the slight smell of blood.
Mrs. Mo was tightly entangled by Lu Yifei and could not move. She could only watch the group of people gnawing on the chocolate statue like wild beasts.
“Lin Qifan, what exactly do you want to do?” Mrs. Mo asked gritting her teeth, her voice full of fear and anger.
“Nothing, I just want to treat you to a piece of cake.” A lazy voice came from above.
Madam Mo looked up suddenly, but saw nothing. She had an ominous premonition in her heart…
“Boom!” With a loud bang, the entire cake tower shook violently, as if some huge monster was about to break out of the ground.
Everyone looked up in astonishment, only to see a fiery red figure leaping down from the top of the cake tower, like a phoenix rising from the flames, with an imposing manner.
“It’s Erza!” Li Yaxuan exclaimed.
Erza flipped in the air and landed steadily. The dessert fork in her hand flashed with a cold light, pointing directly at Mrs. Mo who was tied up by Lu Yifei.
Her fiery red hair fluttered in the air like a burning flame, setting off her stern face.
“The poison formula you have hidden for ten years…is not worthy of my dessert at all!” Erza’s voice was as piercing as an ice blade, with a hint of disdain and anger.
Mrs. Mo was frightened by Erza’s aura and her face turned pale in an instant.
She struggled desperately, but couldn’t break free from Lu Yifei’s iron-like arms.
“Just you? A guy who only knows how to eat cake…” Madam Mo said with gritted teeth.
Erza sneered, and the dessert fork in her hand shot out like lightning, accurately piercing Mrs. Mo’s mask.
The mask shattered, revealing a pale and distorted face.
“Ah!” Mrs. Mo let out a scream and fell to the ground in pain, covering her face.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.
They thought the crisis was finally resolved, but they didn’t expect that even more terrible things were still to come.
Madam Mo slowly lowered her hands that were covering her face, revealing a face covered with strange lines.
Those lines were as emerald green as emerald, emitting a faint glow, and looked particularly hideous on her pale face.
“Wang Tiezhu’s clone?” Madam Mo looked at Erza.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Who is Wang Tiezhu?
What are clones?
For a moment, the hall was filled with confusion and anxiety.
At this moment, the wine glass containing poisoned wine in Mrs. Mo’s hand suddenly changed.
The wine glass deformed like a melted candle, transforming into emerald green tentacles that spread out in all directions like a poisonous snake.
“Oh no! It’s the Emerald Poison Ivy!” Li Yaxuan’s face changed drastically and she exclaimed.
Emerald poison ivy is an extremely rare poison that is extremely toxic and can kill anyone who comes into contact with it.
Moreover, emerald poison ivy can absorb toxins in its surroundings, making them more toxic.
The emerald poison ivy spread rapidly, wrapping around tables, chairs, walls, and even people.
Screams rang out one after another, and the hall fell into chaos again.
Seeing this, Li Yaxuan knew she couldn’t wait any longer.
She took a deep breath and injected the last of her observer’s power into the cake tower.
“In the name of the Creator… let the poison be turned into a dessert celebration!” Li Yaxuan’s voice was cold and firm, with a hint of determination.
The golden light burst out again, and the cake tower seemed to come alive, emitting a dazzling light.
The poisonous fog that originally filled the air actually began to be absorbed by the cake tower and transformed into a rich sweet fragrance.
What is even more surprising is that those originally ferocious emerald poison vines actually began to change color, gradually changing from emerald green to pink, light yellow, sky blue… as colorful as a rainbow.
Madam Mo looked at everything that was happening before her eyes. Her carefully planned poisoning plan was completely overturned by this sudden change.
“No…Impossible…” Mrs. Mo screamed and her body began to tremble.
The emerald poison vines that had originally been wrapped around her now turned into colorful candy vines, exuding an enticing sweet fragrance.
The candy vines began to devour Mrs. Mo’s body like greedy tentacles, melting her bit by bit.
Mrs. Mo’s screams became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared in the sweet fragrance.
The chaos in the hall gradually subsided, and everyone was stunned by the dream-like scene before them.
The poisonous fog turned into sweet fragrance and the poison ivy turned into candy. It was simply a miracle!
“I won…” Li Yaxuan sat on the ground weakly, with a tired smile on her face.
Chapter 30: Dessert War at the Black Market Warehouse (Old Version)
It’s a dark and windy night, it’s the time to do something!
Lin Qifan’s mouth curled up slightly, looking at the gloomy black market warehouse in front of him, an inexplicable sense of excitement surged in his heart.
He waved his hand and rushed in without hesitation with Li Yaxuan, Lu Yifei and the newly summoned Erza.
“Everyone, be careful. There are many traps in here. Maybe there are something shameful waiting for us!” Lin Qifan reminded everyone as he walked.
As soon as I stepped into the warehouse, a cold breath hit me in the face.
It was quiet all around, with only the occasional squeaking of mice in the darkness, which made people feel creepy.
“Oh my god, this place is scarier than a horror movie!” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but complain.
Suddenly, the ground began to shake, and countless arrows shot from all directions, with the sound of breaking through the air, directly towards Lin Qifan and others.
“Damn, there’s an ambush!” Lin Qifan exclaimed and quickly stepped back.
“Rubber rocket launcher!” Lu Yifei roared, and stretched out his arms suddenly, turning them into two huge rubber whips, which whipped away all the arrows.
“Hmph, a mere trifle!” A cold voice came from the darkness, and then countless black shadows poured out from every corner of the warehouse and surrounded Lin Qifan and others.
“Kill!” With a roar, the assassins waved their sharp blades and rushed towards Lin Qifan and others.
“Just in time!” A hint of excitement flashed in Lin Qifan’s eyes. This was the moment he had been waiting for!
“Yaxuan, it’s up to you!” Lin Qifan said to Li Yaxuan beside him.
Li Yaxuan had already made preparations. She frowned slightly, took out various ingredients from the space ring, and began to make desserts quickly.
“Hmph, you want to control us with food? That’s just a pipe dream!” An assassin sneered and swung his knife at Li Yaxuan.
“Want to touch Yaxuan? You have to get past me first!” Lu Yifei roared, stood in front of Li Yaxuan, and knocked the assassin away with a punch.
Li Yaxuan ignored the fighting around her and focused on making desserts.
I saw her hands flying, and all kinds of ingredients seemed to have life in her hands. They were skillfully combined together, exuding tempting aroma.
“Done!” Li Yaxuan wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the plates of exquisite desserts in front of her with a satisfied smile on her face.
“Foodies, eat!” Li Yaxuan shouted and threw the dessert in her hand towards the assassins.
The assassins originally looked disdainful, but when they smelled the aroma of the desserts, they were immediately attracted.
“It smells so good!” An assassin couldn’t help swallowing. He picked up a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth.
“It’s so delicious!” The assassin’s eyes widened suddenly. He was completely conquered by the deliciousness of the dessert, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground.
The other assassins also picked up the desserts and devoured them, completely forgetting their mission and immersing themselves in the deliciousness of the desserts.
Lin Qifan looked at the scene in front of him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smug smile.
“Hmph, a bunch of bumpkins who have never seen the world!” Lin Qifan cursed in his heart.
At this moment, Lu Yifei suddenly shouted: “Qifan, be careful up there!”
Lin Qifan looked up and saw countless huge iron cages hanging from the top of the warehouse. In each cage was a huge beast with bared fangs and claws, looking extremely ferocious.
“Oh my god, are we going to create an animal world?” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but complain.
“Rubber UFO!” Lu Yifei roared, and his body began to swell, turning into a huge rubber ball, flying to the top of the warehouse.
He would launch a surprise attack from the air and capture all these beasts in one swoop!
“Erza, you go and help too!” Lin Qifan said to Erza beside him.
Erza had long been unable to contain herself. When she heard Lin Qifan’s order, she immediately jumped up excitedly.
“Dessert, here I come!” Erza shouted, rushing around the warehouse with a dessert fork in hand.
She gets excited at the sight of desserts, and eats them with relish while attacking her enemies with a dessert fork.
“These desserts can’t be wasted!” Erza muttered while eating.
Her figure was as fast as lightning, shuttling between the assassins, and the dessert fork in her hand was like the scythe of the god of death, reaping their lives.
Those assassins were unable to withstand Erza’s attack and fell to the ground, wailing.
Just as Lin Qifan and others were fighting fiercely with the assassin, a cold voice was heard again.
“Hmph, do you think you can defeat me like this? How naive!” Mrs. Mo slowly walked out of the darkness, her face pale, with a sinister smile on the corners of her mouth.
“You’re not dead yet?” Lin Qifan looked at Madam Mo in front of him.
“Want to kill me? Not that easy!” Madam Mo sneered, formed seals with her hands, and a black energy surged out from her body and spread around.
Li Yaxuan sensed Madam Mo’s presence, she frowned, and set up the newly made dessert traps around her.
“Today, I will let you taste my power!” Mrs. Mo said grimly.
Just as everyone was fighting fiercely with the assassins, a mysterious breath suddenly came from deep inside the warehouse… Just as Lin Qifan and his men were fighting fiercely with that group of desperate assassins, the air was filled with a sweet aroma and the metallic smell of swords clashing, suddenly there was a “buzzing” sound from deep inside the warehouse, and a mysterious breath emerged.
It felt like a hidden BOSS in the game was about to appear, and the air was shaking!
Lin Qifan’s eyelids jumped, and he thought, “Damn, is this a hidden level?”
The scent was erratic, with a hint of herbal fragrance mixed with an indescribable sweetness that made people feel itchy.
He squinted his eyes and found that something seemed to be shining in the deepest part of the warehouse.
“Over there… there seems to be something good!” Lin Qifan pointed deep into the warehouse, wishing he could rush over immediately.
But before he could take a step, an invisible barrier appeared in front of everyone.
The barrier was a strange purple color, with some incomprehensible runes flowing faintly on it. It felt cold to the touch, like a huge piece of ice.
“Oh my god, barrier? What the hell is this?” Lin Qifan was dumbfounded.
Lu Yifei also put away his playful smile and punched the barrier hard. As a result, his arm became numb, but the barrier did not move at all.
“This thing… is a bit hard!” Lu Yifei said with a grin.
Erza also stopped eating. She put down the dessert fork in her hand, stared at the barrier sharply, licked her lips, and seemed to be very interested in what was behind the barrier.
Li Yaxuan walked to the barrier and carefully observed the runes on it, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
She murmured to herself: “This… This seems to be some kind of ancient alchemy…”
Lin Qifan looked at the barrier in front of him, then looked at the faintly glowing thing deep in the warehouse. He felt itchy in his heart, like a cat’s claws scratching him.
He vaguely felt that the key to system upgrade might be hidden behind this barrier.
“It seems that we have to think of a way…” Lin Qifan touched his chin, his eyes flickering.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.
“Captain, Erza, you guys hold on for now. I have a bold idea…” Lin Qifan said as he stepped aside, his eyes full of calculation.
Li Yaxuan seemed to understand Lin Qifan’s intention. She didn’t say anything, but just stood aside silently, ready to provide support at any time.
“Hehehe, system, it looks like I’m going to have to rely on you this time…”
Chapter 31: Cracking the Dessert Barrier Against Routine (Old Version)
Lin Qifan rubbed his hands and chuckled. That smile made him look like a fox who stole a chicken.
He muttered in his heart: “System, oh system, this time it’s up to you, don’t let me down!”
He silently activated the “Dimension Traveler System”, and a light curtain that only he could see instantly unfolded, with all kinds of information densely listed on it.
Lin Qifan glanced around quickly, his goal was clear – to break the barrier!
“Let me see if there’s anything good…” He seemed to be frantically searching for coupons on Taobao, his eyes almost glued to the screen.
Finally, among a pile of seemingly useless information, a line of small words caught his attention:
[Special barrier detected, solution: do the opposite.
The enemy’s knowledge of the poison is key. 】
Lin Qifan’s eyes lit up and he slapped his thigh: “Oh wow! So that’s how it is! This system has something interesting!”
He turned his head and looked at Li Yaxuan, his eyes full of trust: “Yaxuan, it’s up to you from now on!”
Li Yaxuan smiled slightly, as if she already knew his plan, and said elegantly: “Please give me your orders, my master.”
Lin Qifan leaned close to her ear and whispered, “We need some…desserts that look very, very much like poison!”
Li Yaxuan was stunned at first, then her mouth twitched slightly, but she still nodded: “I understand, please give me some time.”
The following time is simply a feast of visual pollution.
Li Yaxuan took out various ingredients from the kitchen and started a crazy “dark cuisine” experiment.
Squid ink cake, mustard macarons, stinky tofu mousse…all kinds of weird combinations emerge in an endless stream, making people call them experts.
She expertly uses a variety of cooking techniques to bring these ingredients together perfectly (at least on the surface).
Finally, plates of “desserts” with strange colors and pungent smells were placed on the table.
These “desserts” are red like blood, green like poison, and black like coal. They also emit a disgusting mixed smell. They are simply at the level of biological and chemical weapons.
Lin Qifan looked at these “masterpieces” and couldn’t help swallowing his saliva: “Yaxuan, are you sure this is edible?”
Li Yaxuan covered her mouth and chuckled: “Don’t worry, Master, although the taste may be… a little stimulating, it is absolutely safe.”
Lin Qifan: “…” (I always feel like this sounds a bit unreliable!)
At the same time, Lu Yifei and Erza also began to act.
“Rubber rubber–” Lu Yifei roared, and his body began to deform wildly.
He turned into a huge slingshot, a funny inflatable doll, and then a huge fist, punching the air.
He had only one goal – to attract as much attention as possible from the guards.
Erza was more direct. She ate the dessert with big mouthfuls while shouting, “One more! One more! I want more dessert!”
Her exaggerated expression and amazing appetite successfully attracted the guards’ attention.
“Is…is this woman crazy?” a guard couldn’t help but mutter.
“Who knows? Just don’t get close to her.” Another guard shrugged with a look of disgust.
Seeing this, Lin Qifan knew that the time had come.
He picked up a plate of “poison dessert” and approached the barrier carefully.
He took a deep breath, trying to suppress his inner nervousness, and then slowly moved the dessert closer to the barrier.
On the barrier, the ancient runes began to flicker, as if they were performing some kind of test.
Lin Qifan’s heart was in his throat. He held his breath and dared not move.
Time seemed to stand still, and every second seemed to be so long.
Finally, when Lin Qifan was about to suffocate, a slight change appeared on the barrier—a tiny crack slowly opened!
“It’s open! It’s open! It’s really open!” Lin Qifan was so excited that he almost jumped up. He quickly called out to everyone: “Hurry! Now is the time!”
Lu Yifei stopped his performance, Erza put down the dessert in her hand, and the two quickly moved closer to Lin Qifan.
Li Yaxuan followed closely behind.
Everyone held their breath and carefully passed through the narrow gap.
Inside the barrier is a dim passage, at the end of which some light can be vaguely seen.
Lin Qifan took the lead and everyone moved forward along the passage.
Their heartbeats were getting faster and faster, as if they were anticipating the upcoming adventure.
However, just as they were about to walk out of the passage, a cold voice suddenly sounded in their ears…
“Hehe, it’s been a long time since we last met, Lin Qifan…”
However, just as they were about to walk out of the passage, a cold voice suddenly sounded in their ears:
Madam Mo slowly walked out from the shadows, with a hint of disdain in her dark eyes.
She smiled contemptuously, raised the staff in her hand, and chanted a spell softly.
Suddenly, the barrier suddenly lit up, emitting a dazzling light, and a powerful energy wave instantly hit everyone.
“Get out of the way!” Lin Qifan yelled and quickly pushed the person next to him.
But the energy wave was too fast and approached everyone in the blink of an eye.
Li Yaxuan’s face changed, and she quickly took out a strange talisman from her pocket. She waved it vigorously, and the talisman instantly burst out a circle of light purple light curtain, tightly wrapping everyone inside.
The light curtain trembled slightly under the impact of the energy wave, but it actually blocked the fatal blow.
Madam Mo’s eyes were stern, and she stared at Lin Qifan coldly, with a hint of sneer on her lips: “It’s useless, Lin Qifan, this is just the beginning…”
Chapter 32: The thrilling fight for special ingredients (old version)
“Oh my god! This old witch is serious!” Lin Qifan performed a tactical backward roll to avoid an energy ray that brushed his scalp, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.
Li Yaxuan’s talisman light curtain made a “crackling” sound, became covered with cracks, and was about to fall apart.
“Miss, we can’t hold on any longer! Think of a solution quickly!” Lu Yifei waved his arms, jumping up and down like a nimble monkey, dodging the energy fragments flying everywhere, and did not forget to remind loudly.
“Got it!” Li Yaxuan gritted her teeth and took out a handful of talismans of different colors from under her skirt… ahem, from the small bag on her waist, and stuck them on the light curtain as if they were free.
“Hold on! Holding on is victory!”
Seeing that the light curtain was in danger, Lin Qifan made a quick decision: “Retreat! Go in first!”
He knew very well that now was not the time to confront.
Madam Mo obviously came prepared, and a head-on confrontation would only result in losses.
“Lu Yifei, clear the way!”
“Okay!” Lu Yifei grinned and instantly entered the second gear mode. His feet moved like Hot Wheels, clearing the way ahead.
“Rubber… Bazooka!”
As Lu Yifei roared, his fist shot out like a cannonball and hit the barrier hard.
With a loud “bang”, a crack appeared on the barrier.
“Now! Charge!” Lin Qifan shouted, and rushed out first like a ghost.
Li Yaxuan followed closely behind, and Erza held two forks, guarding on both sides.
The group rushed into the depths of the warehouse in an instant like an arrow shot from a bow.
The space inside the warehouse is much larger than imagined. Various strange-shaped containers are placed in an orderly manner, emitting colorful light.
“Fuck! This is exactly like the potion storage room at Hogwarts!” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but exclaim.
After passing through the thick fog, everyone finally saw their target.
It was a huge crystal container, filled with a liquid as bright as the stars. Countless tiny points of light were swimming in it, emitting an intoxicating glow.
“Found it! This is it!” Lin Qifan clenched his fists excitedly.
However, before they could get close, a cold voice sounded again.
“Haha, do you think you can get the stuff like this? You are so naive!”
Madam Mo, along with a large group of black-clad assassins, rushed in like a tide and surrounded everyone in an instant.
These assassins all had stern faces and sinister auras, and at first glance they looked like well-trained killing machines.
“Today, none of you will leave here alive!” Madam Mo stared at Lin Qifan fiercely.
“Oh my god, this is such a big deal!” Lin Qifan cursed in his heart. The situation was worse than he expected.
“Yaxuan, Erza, protect yourselves! Lu Yifei, prepare to fight!”
“Don’t worry, Captain!” Lu Yifei grinned and assumed a fighting stance.
“For dessert! For justice!” Erza shouted, her eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light.
“Hmph, you few guys think you can stop a chariot with your bare hands?” Madam Mo sneered and waved her hand.
“kill!”
The assassins pounced on him like hungry wolves.
“Chocolate trap!” Li Yaxuan commanded calmly, quickly took out a pile of chocolate beans from her waist and threw them on the ground.
The moment these chocolate beans touched the ground, they seemed to come alive, melting quickly and turning into a sticky chocolate swamp.
“Ah! What the hell is this!”
“My shoe! My shoe is stuck!”
“Help! I can’t move!”
The assassins were caught off guard and fell into the chocolate swamp, unable to move.
“Well done, Yaxuan!” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but exclaim in praise.
“Erusa, go!”
“Leave it to me!” Erza licked her lips excitedly, and rushed towards the trapped assassins with a dessert fork in hand.
“Puff! Puff! Puff!”
The dessert fork was like the Grim Reaper’s scythe, mercilessly reaping the lives of the assassins.
“ah!”
“My eyes!”
“Devil! You devil!”
The assassins screamed in despair.
At the same time, Lu Yifei also had a fierce confrontation with Madam Mo.
“Rubber… machine gun!”
Lu Yifei’s fists hit Madam Mo like raindrops, the speed was so fast that it was dazzling.
Madam Mo waved her staff and continuously released energy waves, trying to block Lu Yifei’s attack.
However, Lu Yifei was as slippery as a loach and always managed to narrowly avoid Madam Mo’s attacks.
“Damn it! You bastard!” Mrs. Mo was so angry that she jumped up and down.
“Rubber… spiral bullet!”
Lu Yifei seized the opportunity and punched Madam Mo hard in the abdomen.
“puff!”
Madam Mo immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards.
“Captain is mighty!”
“Lu Yifei, well done!”
Taking advantage of the gap between Lu Yifei and Madam Mo’s fight, Lin Qifan quickly approached the crystal container.
“Don’t even think about succeeding!” Madam Mo roared, struggled to stand up, and waved her staff again.
A black energy ray shot towards Lin Qifan like a poisonous snake.
Lin Qifan rolled over and barely avoided the energy beam. “Damn, this old witch is quite tenacious!” Lin Qifan cursed inwardly, not daring to be careless.
“Dimensional space!”
Lin Qifan muttered to himself and opened the dimensional space.
His figure disappeared instantly, and when he reappeared, he had already arrived next to the crystal container.
“Finally got it!”
Lin Qifan excitedly stretched out his hand, ready to take the special ingredients.
However, just as his hand was about to touch the crystal container, a powerful energy suddenly burst out from the container.
Lin Qifan was directly blown away by this energy and fell heavily to the ground.
“Ahem…”
Lin Qifan struggled to get up, feeling as if all his internal organs had shifted.
“Oh my god, this thing has a protection mechanism?” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but complain.
“Hehe, I told you, don’t even think about taking this thing away easily!” Mrs. Mo smiled proudly and walked towards Lin Qifan step by step.
“Really?” Lin Qifan raised a mysterious smile.
Just as Madam Mo was about to approach, Li Yaxuan suddenly cried out, “Wait! Qifan, I…I seem to have awakened!”
When Lin Qifan was frowning and preparing to face Madam Mo’s final ridicule, Li Yaxuan’s voice rang out like a heavenly sound.
“Wait! Qifan, I…I seem to have awakened!”
Li Yaxuan was emitting a soft light and a strange fragrance spreading all over her body.
The taste is sweet but not greasy, with a hint of herbal freshness, which makes people feel refreshed.
“What’s going on? Is the young lady going to transform?” Lin Qifan was confused. The direction of the plot was a bit unexpected!
Li Yaxuan closed her eyes and danced her hands rapidly, as if she was performing some mysterious ritual.
The chocolate swamp on the ground, the poison left behind by the assassin, and even some unknown ingredients in the corner of the warehouse, all seemed to be pulled by some force and flew towards Li Yaxuan.
“Yaxuan, don’t do anything rash! I won’t be responsible if you get sick from eating this!” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but remind her.
Li Yaxuan did not answer, but just concentrated on integrating these materials.
I saw all kinds of colors mixed together, like refining an elixir, and finally formed a cake emitting colorful light?
“This… is this a new variety in the dark cuisine world?” Lin Qifan’s mouth twitched. This thing looks very dangerous!
Li Yaxuan slowly opened her eyes. She held the colorful cake in her hand and smiled at Madam Mo: “Old witch, try my new dessert! I promise it will be so sweet that you will doubt your life!”
After saying that, she raised the cake high, and a powerful energy burst out instantly.
The colorful light on the cake shot towards Madam Mo and the remaining assassins like a laser cannon.
“Ah! What is this!”
“My eyes! My eyes are going blind!”
“Help! I don’t want to become dessert!”
Madam Mo and the assassins screamed miserably and were hit by the colorful light one after another.
Their bodies quickly dissipated into the air like melted ice cream.
“Done!” Li Yaxuan clapped her hands and smiled sweetly.
Lin Qifan was stunned. After awakening, this young lady was simply a humanoid self-propelled artillery!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Qifan rushed to the crystal container and grabbed the dazzling liquid inside.
“Got it!” Lin Qifan excitedly put the liquid into his pocket.
However, before he could be happy for long, the entire warehouse suddenly began to shake violently.
“Oh shit! What’s going on? An earthquake?” Lin Qifan exclaimed, standing unsteadily.
The warehouse shook more and more violently, and huge rocks kept falling.
“Run!” Lin Qifan shouted:
Chapter 33: Life and Death Escape from Warehouse Collapse (Old Version)
Lin Qifan’s shout of “Get out of here!” was simply an attempt to use up all his strength, and his tone was even split.
It’s not that he is timid, it’s just that the collapse of the warehouse made too much noise, like the end of the world.
Huge rocks were falling down with a “bang bang bang” sound, and it felt like they were going to be buried here at any moment.
“Yaxuan, follow me closely!” Lin Qifan dodged the falling rocks while taking care of Li Yaxuan beside him.
Li Yaxuan no longer cared about her image as a noble daughter. Her face turned pale and she clutched the corner of Lin Qifan’s clothes tightly, fearing that if she let go, she would be smashed into a pulp by the falling stones.
“Master, this…what is going on?” Li Yaxuan’s voice was tearful, and she was obviously very scared.
“How should I know! It’s probably that old witch Madam Mo’s doing!” Lin Qifan said unhappily, cursing Madam Mo in his heart.
Sure enough, just as he finished speaking, he saw Madam Mo and a group of defeated soldiers chasing after him, with a ferocious look written all over her old face.
“Want to run? Not that easy! None of you will leave here alive today!” Mrs. Mo’s voice was as shrill as a night owl.
“Oh my god! This old witch is really not giving in!” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but swear.
He just wanted to escape from this damn place as soon as possible, but Mrs. Mo was like a dog-skin plaster, sticking to them tightly and not letting go.
“Luffy, it’s up to you!” Lin Qifan shouted loudly.
“Oh!! Leave it to me, Lin Qifan!” Lu Yifei roared, and the ability of the rubber fruit was activated instantly.
His body began to stretch wildly, and his arms stretched out like two giant pythons toward the collapsing ground in front of him.
“Rubber-rubber-big bridge!”
Lu Yifei’s arms turned into a huge rubber bridge, spanning the collapsing ground.
This scene is like a special effects scene in a Hollywood blockbuster, full of visual impact.
“Hurry up, everyone! Hurry up! Run over me!” Lu Yifei shouted in his energetic voice.
Seeing this, Lin Qifan immediately pulled Li Yaxuan and was the first to rush onto the rubber bridge.
Stepping on the soft rubber feels like jumping on a trampoline, which is both exciting and safe.
“Wow, Luffy’s ability is amazing! It’s simply an escape weapon!” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but admire.
Li Yaxuan also breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense nerves relaxed a little.
She followed Lin Qifan carefully, fearing that she would fall down accidentally.
“Erusa, hurry up too!” Lin Qifan turned around and shouted at Erza.
Erza was seen running while picking up some scattered desserts from the ground and stuffing them into her mouth.
“Hmm…really, it’s such a shame to waste such delicious food!” Erza complained while eating, but a satisfied expression appeared on her face.
When Lin Qifan saw this scene, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
It’s already this late, and Erza still has the mind to eat?
Sure enough, the world of foodies is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
“Eruza, can you be serious? This is a matter of life and death!” Lin Qifan said helplessly.
“I know! But these desserts are really delicious!” Erza said vaguely, her mouth full of various desserts.
“Forget it, whatever you want.” Lin Qifan shook his head and gave up persuading him.
He knew that for Erza, the temptation of dessert was irresistible.
While they were struggling to escape, Madam Mo and her men were chasing them closely.
“Chase them! We can’t let them get away!” Mrs. Mo shouted angrily.
She had spent so much time and effort to prepare for it, and it was about to succeed, but it was ruined by Lin Qifan and others.
How could she be willing to accept this?
Those assassins also knew the importance of the matter, and they chased Lin Qifan and others desperately like mad dogs.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Countless hidden weapons flew from behind, carrying the breath of death.
“Be careful!” Lin Qifan shouted and quickly pulled Li Yaxuan to avoid it.
Lu Yifei also noticed the situation behind him. While maintaining the stability of the rubber bridge, he shouted, “You go first! Leave this to me!”
After saying that, Lu Yifei took a deep breath and his body swelled up again.
His fists were waving wildly behind him like machine guns, shooting down all the flying hidden weapons.
The hidden weapon collided with Lu Yifei’s fist, making a series of explosive sounds.
When Mrs. Mo saw this scene, her face became even gloomier.
She didn’t expect that this rubber man would be so difficult to deal with.
“Hmph! No matter how powerful you are, you can’t resist my poison!” Mrs. Mo sneered and took out a small bottle from her arms.
The bottle contains a liquid with a strange smell, which makes people feel dizzy just by smelling it.
“Go to hell!” Mrs. Mo poured the liquid in the bottle towards Lu Yifei.
Seeing this, Lu Yifei hurriedly dodged, but some of the liquid still splashed onto him.
“Ah!” Lu Yifei screamed and his body began to tremble violently.
“Luffy! Are you okay?” Lin Qifan shouted anxiously when he saw this scene.
“I… I’m fine… you guys go!” Lu Yifei said, enduring the severe pain.
Lin Qifan knew that now was not the time to hesitate.
He gritted his teeth, pulled Li Yaxuan, and continued to run forward.
Erza followed closely behind, and while running she did not forget to look back at Lu Yifei.
“Damn it! These guys are so despicable!” Erza said angrily.
Just as they were about to escape from the warehouse, a huge stone slab blocked their way, completely sealing the exit.
“Oh my god! Are you kidding me?!” Lin Qifan looked at the huge stone slab and felt terrible.
The exit was right in front of me, but something like this happened. It was more disgusting than eating a fly.
This stone slab weighed several tons and was covered with cracks. It looked shaky, as if it would fall down at any time and smash them into meat patties.
Behind him, Mrs. Mo’s shrill laughter was getting closer and closer, like a death warrant, making people’s scalps tingle.
“Hehehe, run! Why don’t you run anymore? I wonder where you can run to!” Listening to Madam Mo’s witch-like laughter, the veins on Lin Qifan’s forehead popped out.
This old witch is really haunting me!
“Master, what should we do now?” Li Yaxuan’s voice was trembling, her face was pale, and she tightly grasped Lin Qifan’s arm, as if she was grasping the last straw.
Erza remained calm, still crunching her dessert, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
“What else can we do? Just leave it alone!” Lin Qifan said with a wry smile, his tone full of helplessness.
There are huge rocks blocking the road in front and pursuers approaching from behind. This is simply a desperate situation!
“Waiting to die? I haven’t lived enough!” Lu Yifei’s voice came weakly. He was poisoned by Madam Mo and now he couldn’t even stand steadily.
Lin Qifan looked at the stone slab in front of him, anxious…
Chapter 34: Dessert Breakthrough in Despair (Old Version)
Lin Qifan looked at the huge stone slab in front of him, feeling extremely anxious. This thing was more difficult to deal with than any boss in any game he had ever played.
He subconsciously called the system: “System brother, help me! Are there any props from the Demolition Office that can be exchanged?” But the system seemed to have crashed, with no response, and only a cold sentence “Insufficient points” popped out.
Lin Qifan couldn’t help but swear: “Oh my god! It failed at the critical moment. This system must be a fake product!”
At this moment, Li Yaxuan was unusually calm. Her clear eyes were like a scanner, carefully observing the surrounding environment, as if she was looking for something.
She frowned slightly, sniffed gently, and wandered around the warehouse like a little rabbit.
This warehouse was originally used to store sundries. It was a mess inside and filled with a stale smell, but Li Yaxuan’s eyes lit up as if she had discovered a treasure.
“Master, I may have a way!” Although Li Yaxuan’s voice was still a little trembling, her tone was extremely firm. The contrast made Lin Qifan stunned.
“What method? Magic?” Lin Qifan complained subconsciously, but when he saw Li Yaxuan’s serious expression, he swallowed the second half of the sentence “Stop messing around, run away quickly.”
Li Yaxuan ignored Lin Qifan’s complaints and walked straight to the corner of the warehouse where some scattered herbs and spices were piled.
These things were originally used for seasoning, but now they have become Li Yaxuan’s life-saving straw.
I saw her slender hands flying, mixing these seemingly ordinary ingredients together like a magic trick, and starting to make a special dessert.
Li Yaxuan’s eyes were determined, and she had only one thought in her mind: she must take everyone out!
At this moment, she seemed to be back in her family’s kitchen. The familiar taste and exquisite craftsmanship seemed to be engraved in her bones, allowing her to find hope in despair.
At the same time, Lu Yifei and Erza were responsible for resisting the attacks of Madam Mo and the assassins.
Although Lu Yifei was poisoned, he was still fighting vigorously. He was like a bouncy ball, constantly hitting the enemy with his rubber fists, muttering: “I will not lose to an old witch!”
Erza was even more exaggerated. She held the dessert fork in one hand and the unfinished cake in the other, and she was eating and fighting at the same time. The scene was simply jaw-dropping.
She ate her cake gracefully while stabbing her enemies with a dessert fork with great precision; her movements were as smooth as flowing water, as if she were performing a gorgeous show.
Madam Mo and her assassins were all confused. What was going on?
Are these two people here to make fun of me?
One is poisoned but still jumping around, and the other one doesn’t forget to eat dessert while fighting. This is too unprofessional!
However, they soon stopped laughing.
Lu Yifei’s rubber fists were no joke. Each punch contained tremendous power, making them cry for their parents.
Although Erza’s dessert fork looks inconspicuous, it is extremely sharp. Every attack is extremely accurate, making it impossible for them to defend themselves.
At this moment, the dessert made by Li Yaxuan exuded a strange aroma, which was sweet but not greasy, with a hint of fresh herbal flavor, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
What’s even more amazing is that the aroma actually began to affect the huge stone slab!
The stone slab was originally very hard, but now it began to melt slowly like ice in the sun, making a “sizzling” sound. Seeing this, everyone was very surprised, as if they saw the hope of life.
“Oh my god, what kind of magical dessert is this? It can even melt stones?” Lin Qifan was stunned. This operation was too amazing!
“Don’t just stand there, young master, let’s go!” Li Yaxuan urged. Her little face flushed slightly due to nervousness, and fine beads of sweat oozed out of her forehead, making her look even more charming.
Everyone quickened their pace to escape. As they saw the exit getting closer, their hearts were filled with hope.
“Look! They are running away!” an assassin exclaimed.
Madam Mo’s face changed. She didn’t expect that these little devils would have such tricks.
She glared at Li Yaxuan fiercely, her eyes full of murderous intent: “Damn girl, you ruined my good thing!”
Madam Mo was about to rush over to stop them, when suddenly, a figure blocked her way… Erza, still eating her dessert elegantly, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a charming smile: “Want to go over? Ask my dessert fork first if it allows it!”
Just when Erza was about to use the dessert fork to give Madam Mo a “cooling heart”, the old witch Madam Mo was not a pushover. She rolled her eyes and immediately discovered that Li Yaxuan was the key person!
“Catch the leader first!” The old witch screamed and pounced on Li Yaxuan like a mad dog. She looked like she wanted to eat Li Yaxuan alive!
“Oh my god! Is this old lady a mad dog?” Lin Qifan was so scared that his soul flew away. Seeing that Madam Mo’s face covered with cheap makeup was about to fall on Li Yaxuan, he wanted to rush over and save the beauty.
However, before he could make any move, there was a loud “boom” and a corner of the warehouse suddenly collapsed!
It was like an earthquake. The entire space shook violently. Countless dust flew in the air instantly, covering everyone’s face.
“Ahem! What the hell? Is it smoggy?” Lu Yifei rolled his eyes. He waved his fist to disperse the dust and complained, “The quality of this warehouse is too poor! Bad review!”
Erza didn’t even bother to eat the cake. She frowned and fanned her eyes with her hands, trying to see clearly what was happening.
The aroma of the dessert was washed away by the smell of dust, leaving only a suffocating smell of dust in the air.
Lin Qifan was choked to the point of tears and snot running down his face. He coughed desperately and cursed the black-hearted auction house owner in his heart: “What a shoddy project! It’s definitely a shoddy project! When I get out, I will expose you!”
Li Yaxuan was also choked by the dust. She covered her mouth and nose tightly and tried to stay calm.
However, at this moment, she suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis, as if a pair of eyes were staring at her closely in the darkness…
“Be careful!” Lu Yifei suddenly yelled, and stretched out his rubber arm and swung it towards Li Yaxuan.
“Hehehe…little girl, you can’t run away!” Mrs. Mo’s creepy laughter came from the dust.
“Yaxuan!!!” Lin Qifan shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice cracking.
“Master…” Li Yaxuan’s voice trembled slightly, as if foreshadowing something ominous.
The dust was getting thicker and thicker… so thick that we could hardly see each other’s faces.
“Whose turn is it next…”
Chapter 35: Battle outside the warehouse (old version)
The dust gradually dissipated, and the entrance to the warehouse was finally revealed, and a faint light penetrated the chaos.
Lin Qifan rubbed his eyes, which were red from choking, and tried to regulate his breathing.
Lu Yifei’s rubber arm patted his back gently, helping him return to normal.
“Young Master, let’s go!” Li Yaxuan’s voice was a little anxious. She had already rushed to the exit of the warehouse, holding a delicate pastry mold tightly in her hand.
Lin Qifan took a deep breath, focused his thoughts, and quickly followed.
They knew that time waits for no one, and every second of delay would increase the danger.
However, just as they were about to escape from the warehouse, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the dust, and Madam Mo’s cold voice rang in their ears: “Hehehe… None of you can leave today!”
Lin Qifan frowned and sneered: “Do you think you can stop us?” He quickly assumed a fighting stance, and Lu Yifei and Erza immediately stood on both sides of him. The tacit understanding between the three seemed to have been honed for a long time.
“Oh, there’s a new face this time.” Lu Yifei’s eyes swept over Erza, who raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile.
“Hmph, you little brats, you still want to escape from me?” Madam Mo’s voice was full of threats, and her eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake.
Her men rushed in from all directions and completely blocked the exit of the warehouse.
Lin Qifan calculated secretly in his mind and glanced at Li Yaxuan, who was concentrating on making desserts. Her hands moved skillfully, as if she was completely unperturbed by the outside world.
A warm feeling surged in Lin Qifan’s heart.
“Lu Yifei, Erza, this time we will use the ‘sea, land and air’ tactics!” Lin Qifan’s loud command was like a sharp sword, piercing through the tense air.
“Understood!” Lu Yifei’s voice was full of passion. His rubber arm stretched out quickly, across the air like a flash of lightning, and hit Mrs. Mo’s men.
Erza quickly displayed her skills, moving like a shadow, weaving through the crowd and accurately repelling every threat.
The “sea, land and air” tactics once again demonstrated their power, and the assassins were knocked down one by one and retreated step by step.
Mrs. Mo saw this,
“Lin Qifan, you’re finished!” Madam Mo shouted viciously, her hands seemed to turn into poisonous snakes, approaching rapidly.
The smile in Lin Qifan’s eyes did not diminish. He quickly stepped back, while protecting the food in his hands in front of him.
“Don’t underestimate us, Mrs. Mo.” His voice was calm and firm.
Madam Mo sneered and increased the speed of her attack again. The poison needle in her hand emitted a faint green light, like a sign of death.
“Master, be careful!” Li Yaxuan’s voice was filled with anxiety. She already felt that the dessert in her hand was about to be finished.
A trace of determination flashed in Lin Qifan’s eyes. He quickly adjusted his posture and avoided Madam Mo’s attack. At the same time, he shouted loudly: “Lu Yifei, Erza, seize the opportunity to pursue the victory!”
Lu Yifei’s rubber arm stretched out again, this time hitting Madam Mo directly in the abdomen, knocking her back a few steps.
Erza quickly followed up from the other side, her dagger drawing a beautiful arc in the air, forcing Mrs. Mo to dodge.
The battle entered a fierce stage. The air outside the warehouse was filled with a tense atmosphere, and the dust around seemed to be cheering for the battle.
Madam Mo’s eyes became increasingly gloomy. She realized that she had reached a stalemate, but she was unwilling to admit defeat.
“Don’t be too proud!” Madam Mo pounced on Lin Qifan again. This time her attack was even more ferocious. The poisonous needles were like countless poisonous snakes, attacking Lin Qifan.
Lin Qifan’s eyes became more determined. He quickly dodged and shouted loudly: “Yaxuan, is the dessert ready?”
Li Yaxuan’s hands trembled slightly, but she quickly calmed herself down, and the dessert in her hand was already half finished.
She gritted her teeth and finally completed the last step. The aroma of the dessert instantly spread, and it seemed that even the air had become much fresher.
“Young Master, the dessert is ready!” There was a hint of excitement in Li Yaxuan’s voice, and she quickly handed the dessert to Lin Qifan.
Lin Qifan took the dessert, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes. He quickly put the dessert on the ground and shouted loudly: “Mrs. Mo, it’s your turn to lose this time!”
Madam Mo’s eyes narrowed, she seemed to realize something, but it was too late.
The aroma of the dessert spread instantly, like an invisible net, completely surrounding Madam Mo and her men.
“You…” Mrs. Mo
There was a gleam of victory in Lin Qifan’s eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, as if he had already expected this moment.
“Young Master…” Li Yaxuan’s voice was filled with a hint of worry. She was worried that Madam Mo would launch a counterattack at this last moment.
Lin Qifan’s eyes were determined, he stared at Madam Mo closely, as if he wanted to defeat her completely.
Mrs. Mo’s
At this moment, the dessert in Li Yaxuan’s hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light, like a shining pearl, dyeing the air outside the entire warehouse golden.
“Mrs. Mo, you lost!” Lin Qifan’s voice was firm and powerful, like an insurmountable chasm.
The poison needle in Madam Mo’s hand slowly fell down, as if she no longer had the strength to lift it.
Just when Madam Mo was about to admit defeat, the dessert in Li Yaxuan’s hand suddenly exuded a strong aroma, like an invisible wave, completely enveloping Madam Mo and her men.
“Master…” Li Yaxuan’s voice was filled with excitement.
Lin Qifan’s eyes sparkled with victory, and he shouted loudly: “Mrs. Mo, you lose!”
At this moment, the system’s voice suddenly sounded: “Congratulations, Lin Qifan, you have successfully defeated Madam Mo. Now, you will face a new challenge…”
Lin Qifan knows that this is just the beginning and there is still a long way to go, but he is ready to face all challenges.
Just when Madam Mo’s claws painted with black nail polish were about to touch the corner of Lin Qifan’s clothes, Li Yaxuan shouted: “Look at me, the secret dessert bomb!” A cake emitting colorful light, with a sweet fragrance that could make people’s souls leave their bodies, was thrown into the sky by her.
This is not an ordinary cake, but the ultimate dessert infused with the secret cooking skills of the Yaxuan family!
The cake exploded in the air, not with flames, but with… rainbow candies!
Colorful rainbow candies fell like flowers from heaven, bringing with them a strange energy fluctuation.
Before Madam Mo and her men could react, they were hit by this sudden “sugar-coated bullet”.
“What the hell!” Mrs. Mo only had time to let out a scream before she was blown away by the sweet energy and embedded into the wall of the warehouse like a cannonball, her life or death uncertain.
The minions under her command were even worse. They rolled on the ground holding their stomachs, muttering “So sweet… So sweet…” and lost their fighting ability.
Outside the warehouse, the dust settled.
Looking at this “sweet” result, Lin Qifan couldn’t help but whistled: “Yaxuan, your move is really amazing, it’s simply a dimensionality reduction attack!” Lu Yifei scratched his head: “What…what kind of move is this? Why does it feel more powerful than my rubber fruit?”
Erza stared at the remaining rainbow candy with shining eyes and licked her lips: “Is this candy… delicious?”
Before Lin Qifan could answer, the cold mechanical voice of the system suddenly sounded: “The dimensional rift is about to open. Use special dishes to defeat more assassins within 30 days, otherwise you will face the crisis of sacrifice.”
When he heard the word “sacrifice”, the smile on Lin Qifan’s face froze instantly.
He looked at the skewers he hadn’t finished yet and muttered to himself, “Sacrifice… sacrifice? Are you kidding! I haven’t eaten enough yet!”
He turned to look at Yaxuan, his eyes full of determination: “It seems that our road to eating broadcasting is about to be upgraded!”
Lin Qifan looked at the sign of “Alien Food City” with great anticipation, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously…
Chapter 36 of Volume 2: Crisis of the Opening of Food City in Border Town (Old Version)
The big red sign of “Otherworldly Food City” sparkled in the sun, like a shining ruby, inlaid on the slightly dilapidated streets of the border town.
Lin Qifan stood at the door, holding a skewer of sizzling lamb in his hand, feeling very happy, as if he could already see gold coins flowing into his pocket.
“Boss, give me a bowl of signature ramen!”
“Give me a dessert platter made by Miss Saori!”
“I heard the barbecue here is amazing, hurry up and get two pounds!”
Diners flocked into the food city in an endless stream, and the lively scene made Lin Qifan even more proud.
He seemed to have seen the beautiful picture of himself building a business empire and reaching the pinnacle of life.
However, the good times did not last long.
“Boss, why is there no asparagus? My bowl of noodles is missing the soul!” a customer shouted in dissatisfaction.
“I’m sorry, we’ve run out of flame fruit today, so the dessert platter may need to be replaced…” the waiter explained awkwardly.
The kitchen was in chaos.
“What happened? Why are the dragon beard seaweed and flame fruit gone?” Lin Qifan rushed into the kitchen, brows furrowed, with a hint of anxiety in his tone.
“Reporting to the boss, the warehouse…all the rare ingredients in the warehouse are gone!” A cook ran over in a panic to report, with fear written all over his face.
Lin Qifan’s heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
“Rare ingredients? Gone?” He repeated this sentence, feeling a chill on his back, “Could it be…”
At this time, Robin came over with a thick parchment scroll in his hand.
“I checked the historical records of the town,” she pushed up her glasses and said calmly, “According to the records, a similar incident happened in this town before. Rare ingredients mysteriously disappeared and were later found hidden in an abandoned old warehouse.”
Robin’s words were like a flash of lightning, cutting through the fog in Lin Qifan’s mind.
He slapped his thigh suddenly, “Yeah! Why didn’t I think of that! Robin, you’re amazing!”
“As expected of Nico Robin, the daughter of the devil, she can even discover this!” Li Yaxuan, who was standing aside, also had a look of admiration on her face.
Under Robin’s guidance, they quickly found the old warehouse hidden in the corner of the town.
The door of the warehouse was rusty and looked like it would fall apart at any time.
When I opened the door, a musty smell hit me in the face.
The warehouse was filled with clutter and dust. Under the dim light, the missing rare ingredients lay quietly in the corner, as if waiting for their owners.
“Found it!” Lin Qifan shouted excitedly, as if he had discovered a new continent.
With these recovered ingredients, the kitchen quickly returned to normal operation.
The diners enjoyed the food with great satisfaction and praised the “Alien Food City”.
At the same time, a man wearing sunglasses and a black windbreaker mixed in the crowd, observing everything calmly.
He is Zhou Muyun, the spy sent by the villain.
“This kid is quite capable,” Zhou Muyun thought to himself, “But this is just the beginning…” He pretended to be nonchalant and tasted the dessert in his hand, with a barely perceptible sneer on the corner of his mouth.
In the kitchen, Saori was busy making desserts.
Her love for desserts has reached the level of obsession, and she strives for perfection in every step.
“The desserts made by Miss Saori are so delicious!”
“Yes, it’s even more delicious than what the royal chef in the palace makes!”
The praises from the diners made her feel extremely satisfied, and her face was filled with a happy smile.
Lin Qifan looked at the lively scene and gradually relaxed.
He picked up a glass of wine, preparing to enjoy this hard-earned success, when suddenly his eyes fell on Zhou Muyun, and an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness came over him…
“Dear guest,” Lin Qifan walked up to Zhou Muyun and said with a smile, “it seems you haven’t finished your dessert yet?” Just when Lin Qifan felt that everything was under control and was about to raise his glass to celebrate, something strange happened.
“Ouch, my stomach! I can’t take it anymore, I can’t take it anymore!” A strong man who was eating happily suddenly covered his stomach and wailed with a pale face. The sound was even more tragic than slaughtering a pig.
“Me too, me too! There’s something wrong with this…this ramen!” another diner also shouted, still holding a half-eaten bowl of ramen in his hand, as if it was not noodles but poison.
For a moment, the Food City was in chaos. The wailing and complaints that came one after another almost blew the roof off.
“What’s going on?!” Lin Qifan frowned, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
He rushed into the crowd and saw many diners holding their stomachs, looking painful, and some even vomiting. There was a strange smell in the air that made people want to vomit.
“There is absolutely no problem with our food!” Li Yaxuan argued anxiously, but her voice was quickly drowned out by the noisy crowd.
“Pay compensation! You must pay compensation! Can you afford to pay for my stomach upset?”
“This is a shady shop! It’s definitely a shady shop! Don’t come to this shop anymore!”
Seeing that the reputation of “Alien Food City” was about to be ruined, Lin Qifan’s heart sank to the bottom.
He knew that the most important thing now was to find out the truth of the matter.
Lin Qifan’s eyes narrowed as he glanced at the diners who were making trouble. He noticed that although their expressions were painful, their eyes seemed a little wandering, as if they were deliberately exaggerating their discomfort.
“Could it be…” His heart moved, and a bold guess came to his mind, “Someone is behind this?” His eyes unconsciously fell on Zhou Muyun in the crowd…
“Haha, interesting…” Lin Qifan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and muttered softly.
Chapter 37: Counter-Routine to Catch the Food City Spy (Old Version)
“Haha, interesting…” Lin Qifan’s lips curled up into a playful smile, that smile was like the cunning stars twinkling in the night sky, just like a cat that stole some fish.
His eyes were bright and sharp. In the noisy environment of the food city, his eyes scanned the crowd from time to time, as if looking for something.
In fact, before this, he had noticed Zhou Muyun wandering around the back kitchen of the food city several times, with flickering eyes and furtive behavior, which made him lock his suspicious eyes on Zhou Muyun.
This farce was performed quite realistically, but unfortunately, Lin Qifan was no pushover.
The hall of the food city was bustling with people, and the sounds of noisy conversations and the clattering of cutlery were intertwined.
Lin Qifan stood in the crowd, his hawk-like eyes were like two sharp lasers, accurately locked on Zhou Muyun. This guy was really good at hiding.
Lin Qifan approached Li Yaxuan calmly, his warm breath brushing gently against her ears, and he lowered his voice and said, “Yaxuan, go and spread the news. Tell them that our Food City recently got a batch of ‘ambergris’.” He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the three words “ambergris” and blinked mysteriously, as if his eyes were hiding endless secrets.
Li Yaxuan was stunned at first, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, then she reacted and immediately understood and smiled with her hands covering her mouth.
That smile was like a flower blooming in spring, full of charm. The curve of her lips was just right, which made the diners around her stunned.
She exuded a faint scent of perfume, which spread in the air like a soft cloud.
She twisted her slender waist, each step was light and graceful, pretending to casually approach a few “troublemaking” diners, her lips slightly opening and closing, and she muttered a few words in a low voice.
The news spread quickly among the crowd like a virus.
“Ambergris? That’s the legendary top-grade ingredient!” A diner widened his eyes, his voice full of surprise, his eyes flashing with desire.
“Is this true? How can this little shabby shop get this kind of stuff?” Another diner frowned, his face full of suspicion, and crossed his arms over his chest.
“If it’s true, I have to try it!” Another diner licked his lips, his excitement evident in words.
The whispers rose and fell like a swarm of buzzing bees.
Lin Qifan pretended to be playing with his mobile phone as if nothing had happened, sliding his fingers lightly across the screen, but in fact he was secretly observing everyone’s reactions.
His ears pricked up slightly, capturing every slight sound around him.
Zhou Muyun really took the bait!
He was pretending to be in great pain, with his body slightly curled up, his hands covering his stomach, and a distorted expression on his face.
After hearing the word “ambergris”, his eyes brightened up noticeably, and an abnormal blush appeared on his originally pale face, as if he had taken stimulants.
His breathing became rapid, his chest heaved violently, and he began to wander around the food city frequently.
His steps were hurried and hurried, and he glanced towards the kitchen from time to time. He looked so sneaky, like a mouse sneaking in the dark, just like a villain in a cartoon.
“Tsk tsk tsk, with such acting skills, it’s a shame that he doesn’t win an Oscar.” Lin Qifan secretly complained in his heart, but he remained calm and continued to play with his mobile phone.
At the same time, the air in the food city was filled with a mixture of food aroma and crowd noise.
Saori also noticed something was wrong.
She was wearing a spotless white dress, like a blooming white lotus. She placed her slender fingers gently on the pulse of a “patient”, her touch delicate and soft.
Her brows were slightly furrowed, and there was a hint of doubt in her eyes.
This pulse condition doesn’t look like food poisoning at all, but more like… plague?
An ancient, almost forgotten plague.
“Interesting.” Saori’s lips curled up into a mysterious smile, and her eyes flashed with excitement, which was like a shooting star in the night sky, fleeting.
She immediately returned to the kitchen, which was steaming hot and filled with the aroma of various ingredients.
Saori took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and quickly formed seals with her hands.
The light green chakra danced on her fingertips, like a lively elf, emitting a faint light and accompanied by a slight buzzing sound. The chakra blended into the pudding, emitting a faint fragrance, which was like the fragrance of flowers in the morning, intoxicating.
When the pudding emitting a glittering green light was served on the table, everyone was stunned.
The pudding emitted a soft light, like the bright moon in the night sky, illuminating a small area around it.
This pudding looks too… weird, doesn’t it?
However, when they took a bite, they were immediately conquered by its melt-in-the-mouth texture and magical healing effect.
The pudding has a delicate and smooth texture, sliding across the tip of your tongue like silk.
“My stomach doesn’t hurt anymore!” a diner shouted in surprise, with a happy smile on his face.
“I don’t feel dizzy anymore!” another diner waved his arms excitedly.
“This pudding is simply a miracle drug!” Another diner gave a thumbs up and praised it highly.
The diners who had been clamoring for compensation now all shut their mouths and savored the magical pudding with great enjoyment.
In fact, the reason why this medical chakra can be integrated into pudding to exert a healing effect is because chakra itself contains the energy of life. It blends with the ingredients in the pudding, can regulate the body’s functions, repair damaged cells, and thus achieve a healing effect.
“This…how is this possible?” Zhou Muyun widened his eyes, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets, looking at the scene in disbelief.
His hands clenched unconsciously, his knuckles turning white from the force.
His plan was foiled so easily?
Robin, who was observing silently at the side, saw it all.
Her eyes were like those of a sharp eagle, not missing any details.
She noticed that after seeing the “Healing Pudding”, Zhou Muyun’s eyes flashed with panic and…resentment?
That look was like a poisonous snake hiding in the darkness, emitting a cold aura.
“Lin Qifan,” Robin walked to Lin Qifan, her footsteps light and silent, and whispered, “I found something interesting…” She told Lin Qifan what she had observed.
After Lin Qifan finished listening, his eyes fixed, like a sharp blade in the cold winter, cold and sharp, “It seems that our little mouse is finally going to show its tail…”
He put down his phone, stood up and walked towards Zhou Muyun.
His steps were steady and powerful, and every step seemed to be stepping on Zhou Muyun’s heart.
“Mr. Zhou,” Lin Qifan’s voice carried a barely perceptible chill, which was like an icy wind blowing through Zhou Muyun’s body.
“Shall we talk?”
Zhou Muyun’s body visibly stiffened, as if it was frozen and unable to move.
He forced a smile, which was uglier than crying. “Talk… about what?”
Lin Qifan raised his lips in a cold smile, his eyes were like burning flames, “Let’s talk about… ambergris.”
He approached Zhou Muyun step by step. There was a tense atmosphere in the air, like a taut string, ready to explode at any moment.
At this moment, Lin Qifan stretched out his hand, ready to grab Zhou Muyun’s collar. His palm was broad and powerful, like a pair of steel pliers.
“Wait!” Zhou Muyun suddenly shouted, his voice sharp and piercing.
His body retreated violently, and almost in an instant, his figure disappeared in front of everyone, so fast that people could not react at all.
He was like a flash of black lightning, flashing through the air.
The crowd around suddenly fell into a brief chaos, with discussions rising one after another.
“He…he ran away?!” someone exclaimed, his voice full of surprise and fear.
Lin Qifan’s eyes narrowed and his brows furrowed. His eyes were as sharp as a cheetah’s. He quickly scanned the surroundings, looking for clues left by Zhou Muyun.
His eyes finally fell on a few pieces of torn paper under a table, on which some blurred words could be vaguely seen.
“This kid is really cunning.” Lin Qifan muttered to himself, then bent down to pick up the piece of paper and observed it carefully.
His fingers touched the paper lightly, feeling the rough texture on it.
There were some strange symbols and addresses recorded on the paper, which was obviously some kind of secret information.
“Lin Qifan, do you understand this thing?” Li Yaxuan walked to his side and asked with concern, her voice gentle and sweet.
“It’s not clear yet, but there is definitely a problem.” Lin Qifan put the paper away.
As he said that, he turned to everyone and said, “Everyone, today’s farce ends here. Thank you all for your cooperation. But I think we are not done yet.” As soon as he finished speaking, he walked straight to the kitchen, with a plan for the next step in his mind.
Lin Qifan came to the kitchen, his eyes firm and decisive.
He knew that Zhou Muyun would not give up easily and a fierce battle was about to begin.
He began to look for tools he could use in the kitchen, and the pots and pans seemed to have become weapons in his hands.
Suddenly, an eerie breath came from the corner of the kitchen, and Zhou Muyun appeared in front of Lin Qifan like a ghost.
He had an evil smile on his face and held a sharp dagger in his hand, which flashed coldly under the light.
“Lin Qifan, do you think you can catch me? Today is the day you die!” Zhou Muyun said viciously, his voice full of hatred.
Lin Qifan sneered, picked up a kitchen knife beside him and confronted Zhou Muyun.
Their eyes met, sparks flew, and the fight broke out instantly, Zhou Muyun pounced on Lin Qifan like a ferocious beast.
His dagger drew streaks of cold light in the air, as fast as lightning.
Lin Qifan dodged nimbly, his steps light and agile, like a dancing butterfly.
He swung the kitchen knife, and it collided with Zhou Muyun’s dagger, making a crisp metallic collision sound.
Zhou Muyun continued to launch attacks, his moves were fierce and sharp.
He rushed forward and stabbed Lin Qifan’s chest with the dagger.
Lin Qifan dodged to the side and chopped at Zhou Muyun’s arm with a kitchen knife.
Zhou Muyun quickly retracted his arm and dodged Lin Qifan’s attack.
The two fought back and forth, and the battle entered a white-hot stage.
The pots and pans in the kitchen were smashed to pieces and the food was scattered all over the floor.
Lin Qifan seized the opportunity, turned around, and slashed Zhou Muyun’s back with a kitchen knife.
Zhou Muyun felt pain and his body swayed slightly.
Lin Qifan took the opportunity to step forward and kicked Zhou Muyun on the knee.
Zhou Muyun fell to the ground, but he quickly got up.
Zhou Muyun picked up a fork from the ground and threw it at Lin Qifan.
Lin Qifan dodged the fork easily, then picked up a frying pan and threw it at Zhou Muyun.
The frying pan hit Zhou Muyun’s head hard, and a big bump suddenly appeared on his head.
Zhou Muyun was so angry that he rushed up again and wrestled with Lin Qifan.
The two rolled around in the kitchen, and everything around them became chaotic.
Lin Qifan gradually gained the upper hand with his strength and skills.
He pressed Zhou Muyun to the ground with force and pressed his knee against his back.
“Do you think you can escape legal sanctions?” Lin Qifan said coldly.
Zhou Muyun struggled, but he was no longer able to resist.
Just then, the police rushed to the kitchen and took Zhou Muyun away.
Lin Qifan breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Zhou Muyun being taken away.
He knew that the crisis was finally resolved.
At this moment, in Zhou Muyun’s secret corner, a sinister whisper came: “Lin Qifan, your good days will not last long…”
Chapter 38 Memory Ramen Convinces Villain Spy (Old Version)
Lin Qifan’s mouth corners slightly raised, and a playful smile appeared.
Crafty, huh?
Okay, I’ll play with you.
He waved his hand and said to Li Yaxuan behind him: “Yaxuan, let’s go meet this ‘food blogger’ and see what he is up to.”
Based on the vague symbols and addresses on the torn pieces of paper, Lin Qifan and his team quickly locked onto Zhou Muyun’s hiding place – a dilapidated warehouse on the edge of the town.
As the sun sets, the warehouse looks particularly eerie.
Lin Qifan signaled everyone to slow down their steps and approach quietly.
Through the dilapidated window of the warehouse, one can see Zhou Muyun curled up in a corner, looking nervous, like a frightened bird.
“Hey, isn’t this the gourmet Zhou? What are you doing hiding here? Doing performance art?” Lin Qifan pushed open the door of the warehouse and walked in, his tone somewhat teasing.
Zhou Muyun suddenly raised his head and saw Lin Qifan and others. His face turned pale instantly, as if he had seen a ghost.
He stepped back subconsciously, his hands and feet trembling: “How…how did you find this place?”
“Is it difficult to find you? I’m the reincarnation of Detective Conan. It shouldn’t be easy to catch a mere food blogger, right?” Lin Qifan shrugged and said with a relaxed look.
“You…what do you want to do? I warn you, don’t come over! Otherwise I will be rude to you!” Zhou Muyun threatened in a stern manner, but his voice was trembling so badly that it was completely unconvincing.
Lin Qifan waved his hand, signaling Li Yaxuan and Lu Yifei not to act rashly. He then walked slowly to the center of the warehouse and took out a small kitchen box from the system space.
“Don’t be nervous, Mr. Gourmet Zhou, I’m not here to fight with you today.” Lin Qifan said with a smile as he opened the kitchenware box, “I’m here to cook a dish for you.”
“Cooking?!” Zhou Muyun was completely confused and had no idea what Lin Qifan was up to.
Lin Qifan took out various ingredients from the kitchen box, including chewy ramen noodles, fresh vegetables, and rich soup base…
“Today, I’m going to make you a special ramen.” Lin Qifan smiled mysteriously, “A ramen that can help you find your original intention – memory ramen!”
Having said that, Lin Qifan began to work in an orderly manner.
He skillfully made fire, boiled water, cooked noodles, and seasoned the food… every movement was full of smooth rhythm.
Saori looked at Lin Qifan curiously. It was the first time she saw someone who had the mind to cook before a battle.
However, the fragrance in the air made her swallow.
Robin looked at Zhou Muyun with interest, as if trying to see something from his face.
Soon, a bowl of steaming ramen was ready.
Lin Qifan brought the ramen to Zhou Muyun and said with a smile: “Try it, Mr. Gourmet Zhou, this is the ‘memory killer’ I specially customized for you.”
The aroma of ramen spread instantly, with rich soup, chewy noodles, and familiar ingredients…
Zhou Muyun’s body shook violently, and a long-lost memory instantly flooded into his mind.
He recalled that when he was still a loyal fan of Lin Qifan, he would wait in front of the computer every day for Lin Qifan to update his eating videos; he recalled that in order to imitate Lin Qifan’s food works, he tried again and again, and finally made delicious dishes; he recalled his original dream of becoming a food blogger, which was simply to share food with more people…
But since some time ago, he was blinded by money and interests, and was willing to sell his soul in order to complete the villain’s mission.
Looking at the ramen in front of him and smelling the familiar aroma, Zhou Muyun’s heart began to waver, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes.
“This…this taste…” Zhou Muyun’s voice was a little choked. He picked up the chopsticks tremblingly, picked up a piece of ramen and put it into his mouth.
At that moment, he seemed to have returned to the past, to an era full of dreams and hope.
“How is it? Does it taste good?” Lin Qifan asked with a smile.
Zhou Muyun didn’t say anything, but just ate ramen silently, but his tears couldn’t stop flowing.
The bowl of ramen was quickly finished.
Zhou Muyun put down the bowl and raised his head.
“Lin Qifan…” He took a deep breath and said slowly, “I…I admit that I did a lot of wrong things before. I’m sorry for you and for myself.”
“It’s okay. It’s a great virtue to admit one’s mistakes and correct them.” Lin Qifan patted Zhou Muyun’s shoulder and said with a smile, “It’s not too late to turn back now.”
“I…I am willing to tell you everything I know.” Zhou Muyun made up his mind and said, “Actually, my mission here this time is…”
Next, Zhou Muyun told Lin Qifan in detail about the villain’s plan to send him to collect intelligence, as well as some of the villain’s secrets.
“I see. It seems that this villain is really insidious and cunning.” After listening to Zhou Muyun’s narration, Lin Qifan frowned and said, “However, with this information, we can deal with it better.”
Zhou Muyun nodded and said, “That’s all I know. If you have anything else to ask, feel free to ask me.”
“Okay, happy cooperation.” Lin Qifan stretched out his hand and shook Zhou Muyun’s hand tightly.
The crisis was resolved and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Robin, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up: “Lin Qifan, I found an ancient cookbook in the information provided by Zhou Muyun.”
“An ancient recipe?” Lin Qifan asked curiously, “What is recorded on it?”
Robin smiled and said, “It records a special skill called ‘Flame Sushi’.”
“Flame sushi? It sounds amazing.” Lin Qifan said excitedly, “Robin, can you decipher it?”
“No problem.” Robin said confidently, “Just give me some time, I will be able to crack the secret.”
In the next few days, Robin immersed himself in the study of ancient recipes.
With her profound knowledge and keen insight, she deciphered the ancient text and mysterious symbols on the recipe bit by bit.
Finally, under everyone’s expectant gaze, Robin successfully deciphered the production method of “Flame Sushi”.
“Great! Robin, you’re so awesome!” Lin Qifan jumped up excitedly, hugged Robin, and kissed her hard on the face.
“Stop it, there are so many people watching us.” Robin blushed and said angrily.
“Ahem, um… Robin, how is flame sushi made?” Li Yaxuan asked curiously.
Robin cleared his throat and said, “Flame sushi, as the name suggests, is sushi that is grilled with flames. It requires the use of special ingredients, special processing, and finally igniting it with flames in an instant, giving it a burnt and fragrant taste.”
“It sounds delicious!” Saori couldn’t help swallowing.
“That’s right, flame sushi is not only delicious, but also has certain nutritional value.” Robin said with a smile, “It can enhance the body’s immunity and improve the body’s resistance.”
“So powerful? Let’s try it now!” Lin Qifan said impatiently.
So, everyone started making “Flame Sushi” under Robin’s guidance.
After some hard work, portions of delicious flame sushi are presented to everyone.
Lin Qifan picked up a flame sushi, put it in his mouth, and immediately felt a rich fragrance spreading in his mouth.
The crispy outside and tender inside texture made him unable to stop.
“It’s so delicious! Robin, you’re such a genius!” Lin Qifan said with praise.
Others also tasted the flame sushi and were all conquered by its deliciousness.
Just as everyone was celebrating their staged victory, the system’s voice suddenly rang in Lin Qifan’s mind: “Warning! Unknown energy fluctuations detected, approaching rapidly…”
“Warning! Unknown energy fluctuations have been detected and are approaching rapidly…” The system’s cold electronic voice was like a basin of ice water poured over their heads, instantly extinguishing everyone’s enthusiasm for celebration.
Lin Qifan paused in chewing the flame sushi, and the delicious taste suddenly lost its taste.
An ominous premonition wrapped around his heart like a vine, making his back feel cold.
At the same time, in a dark castle thousands of miles away, a sinister voice roared, “Waste! Zhou Muyun, that waste, actually betrayed me! Mobilize all forces immediately and flatten the Food City! I will make Lin Qifan pay the price!”
On the screen of the system space, the red alarm kept flashing, and dense spots of light were approaching the Food City at an alarming speed.
“With this number… I’m afraid they’re not here to deliver takeaways?” Lin Qifan swallowed and complained with difficulty, but he couldn’t hide the nervousness in his tone.
Robin pushed her glasses and looked serious: “It seems that we underestimated the madness of the villain.” Her slender fingers slid quickly across the screen, analyzing the enemy’s movements.
“Judging from the energy fluctuations, the enemy attacking this time is much stronger than before. I’m afraid it will be a tough battle.”
Saori held the medical kit, her face pale, and asked nervously, “Then…what should we do?” She subconsciously clenched the kunai in her hand, and a layer of fine sweat beads seeped out of the palm of her hand.
Li Yaxuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, her tone frighteningly calm: “Yaxuan is here, and I swear to protect my master until my death!” She took a deep breath, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, “No matter who the enemy is, don’t even think about setting foot in the Food City!”
“System, report the enemy’s specific situation!” Lin Qifan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He understood that now was not the time to panic and he had to formulate a response strategy as soon as possible.
“Number of enemies: estimated to be over one thousand. Enemy strength: preliminarily judged to be at elite level. Estimated arrival time: ten minutes…” The system’s icy voice of announcement was like a death warrant, striking at everyone’s nerves one by one.
“Ten minutes…” Lin Qifan muttered to himself. He stood up suddenly, looked around at everyone, and said in a firm tone: “It seems that a fierce battle is inevitable! Brothers, prepare to meet the enemy!”
“Yes!” everyone answered in unison, their voices full of determination and fighting spirit.
Outside the warehouse, the wind was howling and the sky was covered with dark clouds, as if foreshadowing that a storm was about to come…
Lin Qifan pushed open the door of the warehouse, staring at the approaching black shadow in the distance with a sharp gaze, and said word by word: “Come on, let me see what you can do!”…
Chapter 39: Food City vs. the Villain Army (Old Version)
The shadows approached, and they were a group of ferocious enemies. Lin Qifan clenched his fists, his eyes grim. Everyone was on high alert, their heartbeats clearly audible in the strong wind. In the blink of an eye, the enemy was in front of them, and when the situation was tense, the system warning sounded suddenly, making Lin Qifan’s face instantly solemn.
The system’s warning sound was still echoing in everyone’s ears, and Lin Qifan’s face was as serious as a piece of thousand-year-old ice.
He knew very well that this was no joke and it might really be “game over”.
“What are you all standing there for? Get moving! Time is money, friends!” Lin Qifan shouted, breaking the somewhat solemn atmosphere, “Yaxuan, activate the Food City defense system immediately! Dad, move all your precious things out, we have to let these bastards know why the flowers are so red!”
Li Yaxuan quickly got into the state, her fingertips flying on the control panel, and light curtains rose from the ground, wrapping the food city tightly, like a huge transparent lunch box.
The blacksmith was also not vague, carrying a huge… rolling pin?
Well, what looked like a rolling pin came rushing up the city wall with great momentum.
“Boy, this rolling pin of mine is an heirloom! It hurts when I hit you with it!” the blacksmith roared with all his might, looking like a street fighter who was ready to fight to the death.
Not long after, a dark mass of figures appeared on the horizon, like a swarm of hungry locusts, heading straight for the Food City.
“Here they come! Cheer up!” Lin Qifan narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. “Today, let them have a taste of what ‘despair on the tip of the tongue’ means!”
“Robin, prepare the flame sushi!” Lin Qifan gave the order.
Robin smiled slightly, clasped her hands together, and enchanting flames danced in her palms.
“Flame sushi!”
Following Robin’s cry, pieces of sushi burning with blazing flames shot towards the enemy like arrows.
“What the hell! What the hell is this?!”
“My mother asked me why I was kneeling down to read a novel! This is too outrageous!”
“Are you sure this isn’t a special effects movie?!”
The enemy group suddenly exploded. Wherever Flame Sushi passed, there were wailing and people and horses fell to the ground.
The unlucky guys had their faces covered in flames, their hair and eyebrows were instantly burned to ashes, and screams were heard everywhere.
“666! Miss Robin is so awesome!”
“This is the real full firepower!”
“Robin is always the god!”
On the city wall, everyone cheered and their morale was boosted.
However, the number of enemies was too great. As one wave fell, another wave came up, as if it was endless.
The battle soon entered a white-hot stage, and casualties began to occur on our side.
“Oh no! I’m hurt!” A team member responsible for operating the defense system screamed and fell to the ground, covering his arm.
“Don’t be afraid! I’m here to save you!” Saori rushed over and made seals with her hands.
“Medical Ninjutsu: Healing Pudding!”
A green light surged out from Saori’s palm and injected into the team members’ bodies.
The green light slowly condensed into a lovely pudding, exuding an enticing aroma.
“What…what is this?!” The injured team member was confused.
“Don’t worry about it, just eat it!” Saori urged.
The team member picked up the pudding doubtfully and swallowed it in one gulp.
“Oh my god! This tastes…so good!”
“I feel like the wound doesn’t hurt anymore!”
“I can fight for another five hundred years!”
A magical thing happened. The wounds on the team members healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they soon regained their combat effectiveness.
“This… this is simply a miracle!”
“Miss Saori is awesome!”
“If anyone says that medical ninjas are just auxiliary again, I will get angry with them!”
With Saori’s “Healing Pudding”, the endurance of our team members is greatly improved, and we no longer have to worry about the health bar running out.
At this time, Zhou Muyun walked to Lin Qifan and whispered, “Mr. Lin, I found that the enemy’s attack pattern has changed a bit. They seem to be deliberately luring us to attack.”
Lin Qifan frowned, thinking that something was wrong.
“It seems like these guys are not simple! They can even use tactics?”
“Mr. Zhou, do you have any suggestions?”
“They don’t seem to know much about the defense system of the Food City. We can take advantage of this and set some traps to catch them in the trap.” Zhou Muyun
“Good idea! Let’s do it!” Lin Qifan patted Zhou Muyun on the shoulder, “It seems that you are still useful!”
Under Zhou Muyun’s command, everyone began to adjust the defense deployment, turning the food city into a maze full of traps. The battle continued, and the shouts, explosions, and screams were intertwined and deafening.
Robin’s “Flame Sushi” burned the enemy to a crisp, and Saori’s “Healing Pudding” made her own people more courageous.
Just when the battle was fierce, the enemy suddenly changed its tactics and began to retreat in an organized manner… The battle situation was tense, and the air was filled with the aroma of barbecue (not sure whether it was from the enemy or the flame sushi), as well as a faint… sweet smell of pudding?
Just when everyone thought they could seize the opportunity to pursue the victory, the enemy commander suddenly seemed to come to his senses and shouted at the top of his voice: “Don’t charge in! Split up and break out. Blow up the defense shield of this broken city for me!”
Yo huh? This is a tactical master!
The enemy troops broke into pieces in an instant, running around in panic like a group of ants whose nest had been blown up.
Some people held up pot lids (no one knew where they got them from) to resist the flame sushi, trying to force a breakthrough; others made a detour and smashed the defense shield.
“Oh my god! These bastards are quite smart!” Lin Qifan spat and quickly gave orders, “Yaxuan, quickly adjust the defense matrix and don’t let them find the weak points!”
Li Yaxuan’s ten fingers flew, and beams of light flowed on the protective shield, trying to plug the loopholes.
However, the enemy’s attack was so fierce, like a group of hungry wolves seeing fresh meat and biting it madly.
“No, young master! There are too many of them, and the protective shield can’t hold up anymore!” Li Yaxuan’s forehead was sweating and her voice was trembling.
“Hold on! Let me tell you, whoever lets one in here won’t have any chicken legs to eat at night!” Lin Qifan shouted at the top of his lungs, trying to use the power of the chicken legs to save the precarious line of defense.
However, the chicken drumsticks still didn’t seem to be powerful enough.
At this moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the defense shield on the east side, and a burly man holding a huge axe rushed in with a strange cry.
“What?!” Lin Qifan’s eyes widened. Before he could react, he saw Lu Yifei rushing up.
Lu Yifei’s fists rained down on the sturdy man, making him scream and retreat repeatedly.
However, the sturdy man’s axe was not to be trifled with. With one swing of the axe, he directly chopped off a piece of Lu Yifei’s rubber arm.
“Luffy!” Lin Qifan exclaimed and rushed over to support the staggering Lu Yifei.
“Brother Lin, I’m fine… cough cough… you… be careful…” Lu Yifei said with difficulty, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
“MD, these bastards! Do you really think I’m a vegetarian?!” Lin Qifan was so angry that he picked up a brick next to him…
“Brother Lin, wait!” Sazhi suddenly grabbed Lin Qifan, “Don’t be impulsive! Do you feel… that there seems to be something wrong in the air?” She frowned, fanned the air with her hands, and looked confused.
Chapter 40: Counter-Routine to Break the Villain’s Conspiracy (Old Version)
Something wrong?
What’s wrong? Lin Qifan held Lu Fei with one hand and weighed a brick with the other, looking confused.
He only felt that the air was filled with the aroma of barbecue and a faint smell of blood. Other than that, there seemed to be nothing special?
Could it be that the enemy used some biological or chemical weapons?
Saori took a deep breath, her pink nose twitching slightly, “It’s sweet. There’s an unusual sweetness in the air. Although it’s very faint, I can feel it.” She licked her lips, “This sweetness… is a bit like…”
“Like what?” Lin Qifan asked, but secretly complained in his heart: Girl, your nose is more sensitive than a dog’s!
“It’s a bit like… syrup?” Saori said uncertainly, “But it’s not quite the same. It’s more like some kind of… fructose?”
fructose?
Lin Qifan’s heart trembled, and he suddenly remembered something.
Previously, Zhou Muyun reported that the enemy has recently been collecting a special fruit called “Sweet Nightmare”. The fruit itself is non-toxic, but if its juice is extracted and mixed into water, it will cause people to gradually lose consciousness or even fall into a coma.
“Oh no! Water source!” Lin Qifan shouted, “Quick, go check the water source!”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion in the city.
“What’s going on? I feel dizzy…”
“Me too, feeling weak all over…”
“Help! I feel like I’m going to faint…”
Poisoned! Lin Qifan’s face darkened. As expected, the enemy actually poisoned the water source!
“Saori, is the detoxifying dessert ready?” Lin Qifan asked anxiously.
“It’s ready, Brother Lin!” Saori took out boxes of exquisite desserts from her backpack. “This is my special ‘energy cube’, which can quickly remove the toxins of ‘Sweet Nightmare’!”
“Great!” Lin Qifan breathed a sigh of relief, “Quick, distribute them!”
Saori immediately took the maid group to distribute the “energy blocks” to the poisoned residents.
Miraculously, after eating the dessert, the poisoning symptoms quickly disappeared, and everyone expressed admiration for Lin Qifan’s ingenuity.
“Brother Lin, you are amazing! You actually predicted that the enemy would poison us!”
“Yes, Brother Lin, you are simply our savior!”
“Brother Lin, I want to give birth to a baby for you!”
Lin Qifan waved his hand and said, “Keep a low profile, don’t be too cool with your basic exercises, they are just a piece of cake.” But he was secretly happy in his heart: Hey, I’m a time traveler, how could you hide this little trick from me?
However, the crisis was not resolved.
At this moment, Zhou Muyun ran over in a hurry, “Brother Lin, it’s bad! We found a few suspicious refugees sneaking into the city, and they all carry weapons!”
“Refugees? Weapons?” Lin Qifan narrowed his eyes. “It seems that the enemy wants to cooperate with the outside world!”
“What should we do? Should we arrest them?” Zhou Muyun asked.
“No hurry,” Lin Qifan said with a sly smile, “Take advantage of their tricks, control them, and let them pass on false information to the enemy!”
Zhou Muyun understood what he meant and immediately arranged for people to control these enemies disguised as refugees, and asked them to pass false information to the enemy, saying that the interior of the Food City was in chaos and the defense was empty, and it was a good time to attack.
The enemy was fooled and increased the intensity of the attack.
The shouting and screaming outside the city was earth-shaking, and the defense shield of the Food City was crumbling.
“Robin, it’s your turn!” Lin Qifan shouted.
“Understood!” Robin smiled elegantly and formed seals with his hands, “A Hundred Flowers in Disarray: Flame Sushi!”
Countless sushi burning with blazing flames fell from the sky, forming a wall of fire above the food city, completely blocking the enemy’s attack.
“Charge!” Lin Qifan seized the opportunity and led everyone to launch a counterattack from the enemy’s weak defense.
The enemy was caught off guard by this sudden counterattack, and their formation was disrupted and they were completely defeated.
The balance of victory seems to be tilting towards Lin Qifan…
“Report! The enemy… the enemy… have taken out the Italian cannon!” The soldier was out of breath, his face turned pale with fear, and his voice was trembling. They… they said they wanted to blow up our food city!
Italian cannon?!
Lin Qifan almost bit his tongue.
Damn, are these guys cheating?
Can you even come up with this?
He looked up and saw several black cannons in the enemy camp slowly adjusting their angles, with the muzzles flashing a terrifying light.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder, and the deafening friction sound was terrifying. “Not good! Get out of the way!” Lin Qifan yelled, his voice hoarse.
Before he could finish his words, the first shell whistled in, carrying with it the scream of death.
The shells hit the food city’s defense shield hard, and the whole city was shocked.
Cracks instantly appeared on the protective shield, as if it would break at any time.
The residents of the city screamed in terror and fled in all directions.
“Yaxuan, strengthen the defense!” Lin Qifan shouted as he took out a bottle of “Strong Spinach Juice” from his system backpack and gulped it down.
In an instant, his muscles swelled and his strength increased dramatically.
Li Yaxuan quickly commanded the maid group to gather all the energy stones in an attempt to strengthen the defense shield.
However, the enemy’s artillery fire was too fierce. With one shell after another coming one after another, the cracks on the defense shield became more and more numerous, and it looked like it would not hold up.
The air was filled with a burning smell, making people feel suffocated.
“We can’t go on like this!” Lu Fei scratched his head anxiously, “We have to think of a way to blow up those cannons!”
“That’s easier said than done!” Zhou Muyun laughed bitterly, “Those cannons are heavily guarded. We can’t get close to them at all!”
Just when everyone was at a loss, Robin suddenly smiled gracefully and said, “Maybe, I have a way…” There was a mysterious light flashing in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
Chapter 41: Food Skills to Defeat Crisis (Old Version)
Robin smiled mysteriously, his eyes moving with an elusive wisdom.
“Everyone, why are you so nervous? I am the son of the devil! This little scene is not worth mentioning!” She pointed her slender jade finger at several giant artillery emplacements that were looming in the distance, but her tone was full of confidence, “I have a bold idea…”
Robin’s confident remarks lifted everyone’s spirits; even the smell of burning in the air seemed to fade a little.
Wow, he is worthy of being the son of the devil, with such aura!
“Sister Robin, what bold ideas do you have? Tell me quickly!” Lu Fei was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, wishing he could rush up and fight the enemy for three hundred rounds.
Robin kept the secret a secret and coughed lightly. “The historical text records an ancient method of making flame sushi, which is powerful enough to burn mountains and boil seas. Combined with Saori’s medical chakra, it should be able to destroy those annoying things.”
Saori was stunned for a moment, her face slightly reddened, “I… my medical chakra can be used to make sushi?” She always thought that medical chakra could only be used to cure diseases and save lives. Isn’t this usage too… unique?
“Believe me, Saori-chan,” Robin winked, “Your chakra will make the power of the flame sushi even more powerful, just like adding a buff effect to the sushi. It’s definitely a king-bomb combination!”
At this moment, Lin Qifan suddenly had an idea and remembered the strange set of kitchen utensils given to him by his blacksmith father.
It is said that the food cooked with this set of kitchen utensils can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the eater.
It’s like giving you a pillow when you feel sleepy!
“Wait!” Lin Qifan shouted and took out the set of exaggerated kitchen utensils from the system backpack.
“I have a way to improve everyone’s fighting power!”
He began to prepare the ingredients swiftly, and at the same time he did not forget to complain: “This blacksmith’s aesthetic taste is really… hard to describe, this spatula is made like a mace.”
Lin Qifan cooked at an astonishing speed, as if he was cooking at double speed.
I saw him using swords and sabers, and pots and pans flying everywhere. Soon he made a pot of “Super Invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex Soup” that was delicious and tasty.
“Come on, come on, one bowl each. After drinking it, I guarantee that your fighting power will be off the charts!” Lin Qifan shouted, serving everyone a bowl of steaming hot broth.
Everyone took a sip with some doubt, and immediately felt a warm current flowing through their bodies, greatly enhancing their strength and spirit.
“Fuck! This soup… is so fucking delicious!” Lu Fei couldn’t help but swear. He felt full of strength and wanted to rush out and fight for three hundred rounds.
“What an amazing dish…” Zhou Muyun also exclaimed. He had always admired Lin Qifan’s cooking skills, and now he was even more impressed by him.
With the blessing of Lin Qifan’s “Super Invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex Soup”, everyone’s confidence increased and they were ready to fight the enemy to the death.
Saori took a deep breath and injected medical chakra into the sushi in Robin’s hand.
The sushi emitted a dazzling light, like a burning little sun.
“Flame sushi! Get up!” Robin shouted and threw the sushi into the air. The sushi spun rapidly in the air and turned into a huge fire dragon, roaring and rushing towards the enemy’s mysterious weapon.
With a loud bang, the fire dragon hit the mysterious weapon hard, causing a violent explosion.
Under the attack of the fire dragon, the enemy’s mysterious weapon emitted thick smoke and a shrill alarm, obviously there was a malfunction.
The enemy’s offensive suddenly weakened. Lin Qifan seized the opportunity and led everyone to launch a general attack.
“Charge! Beat these bastards!” Lu Fei took the lead, waving the long sword in his hand and rushed into the enemy camp.
Li Yaxuan commanded the maid group to form an indestructible line of defense to protect the residents of the Food City.
Zhou Muyun also fought bravely. His swordsmanship was sharp and every move was deadly, as if he wanted to vent all the hatred in his heart.
He proved his loyalty and determination with his actions.
With the concerted efforts of everyone, the enemy was gradually repelled and completely defeated.
The dawn of victory seems to be just around the corner…
“Wait…” Lin Qifan suddenly felt something was wrong. Wasn’t this victory too easy?
“What’s wrong, Brother Fan?” Lu Fei wiped the sweat from his face and asked excitedly.
Lin Qifan frowned, looking at the smoke gradually dissipating in the distance, an ominous premonition came to his mind… He slowly said, “I always feel that… things are not that simple…” No need to modify
The smoke dissipated slowly like a rogue, and the air was filled with the smell of barbecue. Mm, and a little burnt smell, probably because some unlucky guy’s hair was burnt.
The joy of victory was like beer foam, about to overflow.
Lu Fei was so excited that he was like a monkey, jumping up and down, and he wished he could carve the words “I am the best in the world” on his forehead.
“Hey, hey, hey, Brother Fei, calm down, let’s keep a low profile.” Lin Qifan patted Lu Fei on the shoulder. He always felt that this victory came too easily, just like a legendary equipment suddenly dropped in the game, which made people wonder if there was a bug in the system.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the skyline that was gradually becoming clearer in the distance.
The sky that was originally dyed red by the explosion now exuded an eerie calm, so quiet that it was creepy.
It’s like the calm before the storm, making people feel creepy.
“Something’s wrong…” Lin Qifan muttered to himself, a chill running up from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
At this moment, a sinister voice, like a whisper from hell, rang in everyone’s ears: “Haha, do you think you’ve won like this?”
The voice seemed to carry some kind of magic, which instantly stopped the cheers. The air solidified like a stone, making it hard to breathe.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure slowly walking out of the smoke. He exuded a suffocatingly powerful aura, like a long-dormant beast that finally bared its fangs.
Lin Qifan’s pupils suddenly shrank and his heart sank.
Who…who is this guy?
Could it be…the final boss?
“It’s over, it’s over…” Lu Fei swallowed, his voice trembling like a sieve.
Lin Qifan stared at the figure intently, feeling a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart. He felt that the real battle… had just begun… “This guy…” Lin Qifan clenched his teeth, and his hand unconsciously touched the frying pan at his waist, “It seems… a bit powerful…”
Chapter 42: Food City Meets Strong Enemies Again (Old Version)
The air was filled with smoke and the pungent smell of gunpowder made people’s throats itchy.
The aftermath of the previous explosion was still vibrating in the air, making the eardrums buzz.
The cheers stopped abruptly, replaced by a suffocating silence, as if the whole world had been paused.
The figure that slowly walked out of the smoke was like a messenger from hell, bringing with it a chilling sense of oppression.
With every step he took, the ground seemed to tremble slightly, as if it could not withstand such a powerful force.
The aura around him was cold and evil, like a poisonous snake, tightly wrapped around everyone’s heart, making it hard to breathe.
Lin Qifan frowned. This powerful aura made him feel unprecedented pressure. “This guy… has something…” he murmured in a low voice, and his hand unconsciously touched the frying pan at his waist.
This frying pan is his first weapon after crossing into another world, and it is also his most trusted companion.
Saori acted quickly. Her slender fingers deftly mixed the potions and placed bottles of healing potions neatly beside her.
At the same time, she also prepared some exquisite desserts. These desserts were made with special recipes. Not only did they taste sweet, but they could also quickly replenish physical strength and chakra. They were indispensable supplies in battle.
She looked focused and determined, ready to provide medical support to her companions at any time.
Robin stood aside with a frown on her face. She flipped through the vast historical knowledge in her mind, trying to find the weakness of the mysterious figure in front of her.
She knew that knowledge is power, and when facing an unknown enemy, only by fully understanding the opponent can one find the key to victory.
She carefully recalled the relevant records, hoping to find a clue.
Zhou Muyun walked up to Lin Qifan and whispered, “Boss, this guy’s aura… is very similar to the leader of the ‘Shadow’ organization, the legendary ‘Shadow Demon’.” His voice trembled slightly, but his eyes were full of determination, “If it really is him… then we’re afraid…” He paused, took a deep breath, and continued, “Boss, I used to be a member of the ‘Shadow’ organization, and I have a better understanding of their tactics. Maybe… I can help.” He was eager to prove his worth with actions and wash away his past sins.
Lin Qifan turned to look at Zhou Muyun
This time, “Okay, Mu Yun, tell me, how should we deal with it?”
Zhou Muyun pointed at the Shadow Demon in the distance and said, “The Shadow Demon is best at shadow magic. His attacks are mysterious and hard to defend against. Moreover, he can control shadows, create illusions, and confuse opponents. We must be careful and must not be confused by him.”
“Control shadows? Create illusions?” Lin Qifan stroked his chin and fell into deep thought. “So, we have to find a way to break his illusion…”
“That’s right,” Robin suddenly said, “According to historical records, the power of the ‘Shadow Demon’ comes from a treasure called the ‘Shadow Stone’. This stone contains powerful shadow power, which allows the ‘Shadow Demon’ to control shadows and create illusions. If we can find the ‘Shadow Stone’, perhaps we can weaken his power.”
“‘Shadow Stone’…” Lin Qifan repeated the name, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes, “It seems that we have to find a way to find this stone…”
“Boss,” Lu Fei suddenly pointed at a huge black shadow behind the “Shadow Demon” and exclaimed, “What is that?!”
Everyone looked in the direction of Lu Fei’s finger, and saw that the black shadow behind the “Shadow Demon” gradually expanded and eventually turned into a huge black monster with bared fangs and claws and made a deafening roar.
“Not good!” Lin Qifan’s face changed, “This guy is going to use his ultimate move!”
“Everyone be careful!” Zhou Muyun shouted, “Get ready for battle!”
Just as everyone was preparing to fight, the “Shadow Demon” suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Lin Qifan… “Ants, tremble!” The Shadow Demon let out a creepy sneer, like the cry of a night owl, harsh and creepy.
He waved his arm, and a dark energy wave, carrying a devastating force, roared towards the Food City.
Wherever the energy wave passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, making a sharp hissing sound, and the ground cracked inch by inch, spreading like a spider web.
“Oh my god! Are they serious?!” Lin Qifan screamed. This earth-shattering scene was more shocking than any special effects blockbuster he had ever seen.
An intense burning sensation came over him, burning his cheeks so much that they hurt and his hair stood on end.
There was a burnt smell in the air, as if the world was ending.
“Quick! Defend!” Zhou Muyun roared, his voice hoarse and almost breaking.
He quickly formed seals with his hands, and a layer of light blue light instantly enveloped everyone, like a huge eggshell, protecting them.
The energy wave hit the light curtain hard, making a deafening explosion.
The huge impact force made everyone’s blood surge, and their internal organs seemed to be displaced.
The light curtain trembled violently, like a leaf in a strong wind, and it could break at any time.
Robin clenched his teeth, his slender fingers grasping the historical text tightly, his knuckles turning white.
She could feel that the light curtain was weakening rapidly and might not last much longer.
Saori was quickly distributing desserts, muttering to herself, “Eat dessert! Replenish chakra! Hold on! You must hold on!” She also grabbed a piece of dessert and stuffed it into her mouth. The sweet taste made her feel a little more at ease.
“This thing… is too powerful!” Lu Fei widened his eyes and felt like his heart was about to jump out.
He clenched his fists tightly and his palms were full of sweat.
Lin Qifan looked at the crumbling light curtain with a serious expression.
He knew that he had to find a way to break the impasse.
He turned his head sharply to look at the blacksmith and shouted, “Dad! Your… that… Super Invincible Thunderbolt Invincible…”
“Indestructible defensive pot?!” the blacksmith yelled back at the top of his voice, his eyes as big as copper bells.
“Yes, yes, yes! It’s that thing! Hurry up!” Lin Qifan stamped his feet anxiously.
Chapter 43: Food Skills Explosion (Old Version)
“The indestructible defense pot! Here it comes!” The blacksmith roared, like thunder out of the blue, making people’s eardrums buzz.
He was carrying a huge black pot. The pot body was shining with metallic luster and engraved with mysterious runes. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary item.
This thing is simply a battering ram in the kitchen. Anyone who sees it will tremble in fear.
Lin Qifan was quick to take the defensive pot and put it steadily on the ground.
“My goodness, this pot is so heavy!” He wiped the sweat off his forehead and felt his arms were sore.
If this thing hits someone on the head, it would probably send that person to hell.
“Nonsense! This is made of ten thousand year old black iron!” The old blacksmith blew his beard and glared with pride, “This pot can withstand the dragon’s breath, let alone a mere energy wave!” He patted the bottom of the pot, making a muffled “dong dong” sound, as if to prove his words.
Lin Qifan did not dare to delay and started to act immediately.
He deftly threw various ingredients into the pot, muttering to himself: “Thousand-year-old ginseng, hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, ten-thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum… these are my most precious treasures!” He glanced at those precious medicinal materials with heartache and felt his heart bleeding.
As the ingredients were added, a strange light began to emanate from the pot, colorful like a rainbow.
A strong medicinal fragrance filled the air, making people feel refreshed.
“Gulp gurgle…” The soup in the pot began to boil, making an enticing sound.
Lin Qifan kept stirring, sweat running down his forehead.
He felt like an alchemist, refining a batch of magical pills.
“Okay!” Lin Qifan shouted, poured out the soup from the pot and distributed it to everyone.
“Drink it quickly! This is a magical soup that can enhance your defense!”
No one dared to hesitate, they picked up their bowls and drank it all in one gulp.
As the soup enters your mouth, a warm current instantly flows through your body, and you feel full of strength.
“Wow! This soup… tastes really good!” Lu Fei smacked his lips, looking very enjoyable.
He felt his body become much lighter, as if he could smash a mountain with one punch.
“Yeah, it’s really good.” Robin also nodded and wiped the corners of his mouth gracefully.
She felt that her thinking became clearer and her understanding of the historical text became deeper.
Saori said nothing, just drank her soup silently with a determined look in her eyes.
She could feel that the soup was strengthening her chakra, allowing her to better support her companions.
After drinking the soup, Zhou Muyun stretched his muscles and felt that his body movements had become more flexible.
The corners of his mouth slightly raised.
At this moment, the second wave of attack from the villain leader came!
The energy wave hit the light curtain again, making a deafening explosion.
However, this time, the light curtain did not tremble violently, but was as steady as a rock, firmly resisting the attack.
A faint golden light emanated from everyone, like a protective shield that protected them firmly.
“Haha! The indestructible defense pot really lives up to its reputation!” The old blacksmith laughed proudly, like a general who had won a battle.
“Robin! It’s your turn!” Lin Qifan shouted.
Robin understood what he meant, and he quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something.
The sushi in her hand suddenly caught fire and turned into a wall of fire, rushing towards the villain leader.
The villain leader dodged the attack of the fire wall easily.
However, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
He knew that Robin’s special skills should not be underestimated.
“Saori! Great!” Lin Qifan shouted again.
Saori nodded, her hands glowing green as she injected medical chakra into her companion’s body.
Everyone felt full of strength and their fighting power soared instantly.
“Zhou Muyun! It’s up to you!” Lin Qifan gave the order again.
Zhou Muyun’s figure was like a ghost, shuttling around the battlefield, looking for the villain leader’s flaws.
His actions created many attacking opportunities for his teammates.
The battle entered a white-hot stage.
“Humph, a bunch of ants dare to challenge my authority!” The villain leader snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain, “Let me show you what real power is!”
He slowly raised his right hand, and a powerful energy gathered in his hand…
“Wait…what is that?!” Lu Fei pointed at the villain leader’s hand and exclaimed.
The villain leader’s right hand was emitting a strange purple-black light at this moment, like a small black hole, swallowing up the surrounding light.
The light twisted and spun, as if sucking everything in.
“Is this… ‘rebound’?” Robin frowned. She had read about this long-lost forbidden technique from historical texts. It was able to rebound any form of attack. It was simply a loophole!
Before he finished speaking, Robin’s flame sushi, Saori’s medical chakra, and even the golden light emitted by the blacksmith’s indestructible defense pot, seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, turned around, and flew back to them.
“Fuck! Are you trying to cheat?” Luffy yelled. This sudden change caught him off guard. Seeing that his own attack was about to roast him into a suckling pig, he quickly rolled over and dodged in embarrassment.
“This is getting serious…” Zhou Muyun murmured, and retreated violently, narrowly avoiding the rebounding attack.
The air was filled with a burnt smell and the sizzling sound of the iron pan being roasted at high temperatures.
Everyone was caught off guard by this sudden change, and the situation that had originally had the upper hand was reversed in an instant.
Lin Qifan looked at this strange scene, his heart sank suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
“What the hell is this skill… Why does it feel like cheating!” He muttered to himself, his face terribly gloomy.
At this moment, the villain leader laughed arrogantly: “Hahaha! Feel the despair! This is… absolute defense!”
His laughter echoed in the air, like the death knell, striking at everyone’s nerves.
“Now… it’s my turn!” The villain leader grinned, and the purple-black light in his hand became more and more dazzling…
“Wait…” Lin Qifan suddenly spoke, with a gleam of light in his eyes, as if he had grasped some key information. He stared at the black light in the villain’s hand and said word by word: “This…could it be…”
Chapter 44: The Taste Empire’s Final Victory (Old Version)
“Wait…” Lin Qifan shouted suddenly, his voice rang out like thunder in the noisy battle environment, interrupting the villain leader’s laughter that was full of middle school aura and as piercing as a broken gong.
He stroked his chin, his rough palm stroking the stubble, making a rustling sound. A sharp light flashed in his squinted eyes, making him look like an old fox who was thinking.
That look seemed to be able to penetrate the air and see through all hidden mysteries.
“This thing…could it be that it’s like a mirror, bouncing back our attacks?” Lin Qifan frowned, thinking quickly in his mind, muttering to himself.
One sentence to wake up the dreamer!
Everyone’s originally nervous expressions changed instantly, and a light of sudden enlightenment flashed in their eyes.
Luffy’s lightning-fast attack, Zhou Muyun’s ghostly and agile moves, and even the hot air in the air like blazing charcoal, were all bounced back by that strange force.
When the heat bounced back, everyone’s skin could actually feel the invasion of the heat wave, as if being licked by a tongue of fire.
“So, this guy is actually a reflector?” Luffy scratched his head, his hair was a little messy because of him, and an expression of sudden enlightenment was written on his face, “Then we can’t attack him directly, we have to take a roundabout way to save the country!”
Lin Qifan snapped his fingers, and the crisp sound echoed in the air: “Correct! Luffy, you are finally smart for once! This villain looks awesome, but he is actually a ‘human reflector’. We have to think about how to bypass his reflection, or… just use reflection to deal with him!” As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the two new companions.
“Robin, Saori, it’s your turn to perform!” Lin Qifan raised his voice, with an unquestionable firmness in his voice.
Robin pushed up his glasses, and the lenses reflected a faint light in the dim light. A mysterious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. That smile was like a star in the night sky, shining with an elusive light: “Understood.”
Saori had a confused look on her face, her eyes wide open, like a frightened deer: “Ah? Me? What can I do?” This medical ninja who had just been summoned from the Naruto world had obviously not yet adapted to the intense rhythm of the battle here.
The noise of fighting and the clash of weapons around her made her feel at a loss.
“Don’t panic, sister!” Lin Qifan comforted, his voice gentle but powerful, “You just need to transfer your chakra…well, your magical energy, to Robin!”
“Chakra?” Saori tilted her head and moved her ears slightly, as if trying to understand the meaning of the word.
Her fingers unconsciously pinched the corner of her clothes, and there was a hint of confusion in her eyes.
“To put it simply, it is to give her a buff effect!” Lin Qifan explained patiently, his eyes full of encouragement.
Saori nodded as if she understood, stretched out her hand, and placed her palm gently on Robin’s shoulder.
A stream of green chakra like a gurgling stream slowly flowed into Robin’s body, and the green light flickered between the two of them, as if it was the bond of life.
Robin felt a warm current surge through his body like the sunshine in spring. His originally tired body was instantly filled with strength, and every cell was cheering.
Robin took a deep breath, and the fresh air rushed into her nostrils, making her mind clearer.
She formed seals with her hands quickly, her fingers moving like nimble butterflies, and she muttered something in a low and mysterious voice, as if it was a call from ancient times.
“Flowers are blooming! A hundred flowers are in disarray. Flame sushi!” With Robin’s cry, the voice was as loud as a bell, and countless sushi made of flames appeared out of thin air.
These sushi emit a dazzling red light, like burning gems, spinning and dancing, like a flaming phoenix soaring in the sky.
The sound of the wind they create when dancing is like the cry of a phoenix, sharp and passionate.
The hot breath hits you in the face, like standing on the crater of a volcano, making your skin feel stinging.
“Wow! This special effect is amazing!” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, his eyes wide open with shock and excitement.
With Saori’s chakra blessing, Robin’s flame sushi is twice as powerful.
Originally it was just an ordinary flame, but now it was as hot as magma, emitting a pungent smell of sulfur, as if it could melt everything.
Wherever the flames went, the air was distorted, making a sizzling sound.
When the villain leader saw this, his face changed drastically, and his originally arrogant expression disappeared in an instant, replaced by fear and panic.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and slid down his cheeks.
He quickly activated his “Absolute Defense”, and a transparent shield instantly appeared around his body. The shield flashed a faint blue light and made a buzzing sound.
He tried to bounce back the flaming sushi, however, Robin’s attack was not a simple straight-line attack, but rather it circled and danced like a phoenix, constantly changing its trajectory, making it difficult for the villain leader to capture him.
Every time the flame sushi changed its trajectory, it brought up a gust of hot wind, making the villain leader’s hair and clothes rustle.
At the same time, Zhou Muyun also started his performance.
His figure was like a ghost, and his footsteps were as light as if he was walking on clouds, as he wandered around the villain leader.
His figure appeared and disappeared in the darkness like a ghost.
He would launch attacks from time to time, and his attacks were as fast as lightning, with each attack bringing up a whistling sound of the wind.
“Hey! Reflection monster! Look over here!” Zhou Muyun harassed the villain leader while making some mockery, his voice full of provocation, “Can your reaction speed keep up with mine?”
The villain leader was distracted by Zhou Muyun. His “absolute defense” required concentration to activate, and Zhou Muyun’s harassment made it impossible for him to concentrate at all.
His brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes were filled with anger and helplessness, and his teeth were chattering.
Just then, Robin’s Flame Sushi finally found a breakthrough.
Like fire dragons, they rushed through the villain leader’s defense gaps with whistling wind and blazing flames, and slammed into him hard.
“Boom!” There was a loud noise, like thunder exploding in my ears, and flames shot up into the sky.
The strong light made it impossible for everyone to open their eyes, and the heat wave came like a surging tide, making it almost impossible to breathe.
The villain leader’s “absolute defense” was finally broken, and he let out a scream, the sound was sharp and miserable, like a wounded beast.
His body was engulfed by flames, which raged on him, making crackling sounds, as if it was the death knell of his life.
The moment the battle ended, Lin Qifan felt as if a huge rock had fallen from his heart, and his tense nerves instantly relaxed.
He felt his legs a little weak, as if he had just finished a long marathon.
He took a deep breath. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and burning, which made him feel extremely real.
He looked at his companions who were cheering around him and a gratified smile appeared on his face.
His eyes revealed a sense of relief, as if all the fatigue had dissipated at this moment.
His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, feeling the joy and power brought by victory.
“Done!” Lin Qifan waved his fist excitedly, the action was full of power and passion.
With the fall of the villain leader, the haze hanging over the Food City also dissipated.
The warm sunshine sprinkled on the earth, dispelling the previous darkness and coldness.
The breeze blew gently, bringing the fragrance of flowers and the aroma of food.
Everyone cheered, their faces filled with the joy of victory.
Some people hugged each other with tears in their eyes; some people raised their hands and shouted loudly; and some people high-fived each other to celebrate this hard-earned victory.
“Cheers!” Lin Qifan raised the juice in his hand, which sparkled with golden light under the sunlight, and said loudly, “For victory and for delicious food!”
“Cheers!” Everyone responded and raised their glasses to celebrate.
The crisp sound of clinking glasses echoed in the air like beautiful music.
However, just as everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, Lin Qifan’s system panel suddenly flashed… He frowned slightly, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
His heartbeat suddenly quickened, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping his heart.
He murmured in a low voice: “This…what is going on…” The taste of victory was as sweet as a perfectly baked macaron, the sweet taste spread in the mouth, intoxicating.
But what about the aftertaste?
But it tastes bitter, just like chewing a mouthful of Coptis chinensis.
The system panel on Lin Qifan’s built-in head-up display flickered like a faulty light bulb, making a crackling sound of electricity.
The pop-up warning message was so eye-catching, and the red font seemed like a burning flame, which made him sober up faster than being poured with a bucket of ice water.
A chill, colder than liquid nitrogen ice cream, snaked down his spine, making his body tremble involuntarily.
There was suddenly a tension in the air, and the cheerful atmosphere dissipated like bad cream.
Everyone’s bright smiles froze in an instant, and a look of fear appeared in their eyes.
The cups in their hands suddenly stopped moving, as if time had stopped at this moment.
The cup of celebratory juice in Lin Qifan’s hand suddenly became as heavy as a lead block. His fingers trembled slightly and he could hardly hold the cup.
Never mind that Michelin-starred meal they just cooked, the universe is serving them a piping hot dish of awfulness.
A warning message scrolled across his field of vision, flashing an ominous crimson glow: “Alert: High concentrations of ‘dessert addiction’ detected approaching. Source unknown.” Dessert addiction?
Sounds more like a wacky marketing gimmick than a real threat.
But the system’s tone was deadly serious.
No emojis, no playful comments, just pure, undisguised horror.
Lin Qifan felt his stomach tighten, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping his stomach.
This isn’t some low-level side quest; this feels like the opening salvo in a big boss fight.
He put the juice down slamming, and the glass landed heavily on the table with a crisp sound, and the clinking of glasses in celebration echoed awkwardly in the sudden silence.
“Everybody stop for a moment,” he snapped, his voice tight and full of unquestionable authority, “We have a problem. A big, sweet problem that’s likely to explode in our faces…” He looked around at the celebrating faces, their smiles faded like cheap food coloring, replaced by expressions of tension and fear.
“The party’s over, guys. Here comes the main course.” He took a deep breath. The metallic smell of the warning message still lingered in the air, pungent and unpleasant. “And it smells like trouble…”
Chapter 45 Dessert Addiction Crisis Emerges (Old Version)
Lin Qifan’s loud shout was like a basin of ice water poured over everyone’s heads, instantly extinguishing the flames of celebration in everyone.
The air was still filled with the aroma of barbecue and the sound of clinking glasses could still be heard, but everyone’s face was filled with confusion and uneasiness.
“Dessert addiction? What the hell is that?” Lu Yifei scratched his iconic straw hat on his head, looking confused.
“It sounds like some unlucky person’s failed weight loss declaration.”
Lin Qifan didn’t have time to explain. He stared at the flashing scarlet warning in his field of vision, feeling as if he was stuck in some sticky syrup.
“No matter what it is, it’s not a good thing! Everyone, be alert!”
However, before he finished his words, something strange had already happened.
“Food! Where is the food? I want to eat!”
In the crowd, Erza seemed to have her rage button pressed. Her eyes were bloodshot and her originally loose fiery red hair was dancing wildly like flames.
She no longer had the calmness and loyalty of the past, but instead had an almost crazy desire, targeting the dazzling array of dishes on the table.
“Eruza! Calm down!” Lu Yifei tried to stop her, but she pushed him away and he staggered a few steps.
“Get out of here! Don’t block me from eating!” Erza’s voice became hoarse, as if it had been polished by sandpaper.
Like a hungry beast, she pounced on the delicious food that exuded an enticing aroma.
Lin Qifan’s heart sank, knowing that things were far worse than he had imagined.
This “dessert addiction” has obviously started to work, and the effect is immediate.
“System! Quick! Is there any way to deal with it?” He frantically called out to his golden finger in his mind.
The system responded coldly, with a mechanical ruthlessness: “Retrieving… Relevant information retrieved: ‘Dessert addiction agent’, a high-risk mind control substance that can induce the target to have an extreme desire for sweets and lose reason. Suggestion: isolate the target and find an antidote.”
isolation?
Antidote?
Easily said!
There is no time to find an antidote now. Erza is obviously out of control!
“Dimensional summoning!” Lin Qifan gritted his teeth and started the system immediately without caring about the consumption of foodie points.
A dazzling light flashed, and two familiar yet unfamiliar figures appeared in front of everyone.
“Oh? Where is this?” A man in a dark purple kimono and long silver hair slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He was the Pluto in the world of One Piece – Silvers Rayleigh.
Following closely behind, a petite figure walked out from the light, with short orange hair and holding a huge Zanpakutō. It was Kagura from the world of Death.
“Is this… the real world? I always feel that the spiritual energy is so thin!” Kagura muttered, looking around curiously.
“Mr. Rayleigh, Kagura, the situation is urgent and I need your help!” Lin Qifan didn’t bother to say hello and quickly explained the situation.
After listening to this, Rayleigh frowned slightly and his eyes fell on Erza who was frantically grabbing food. “It seems that her mind is controlled by some kind of drug. It’s really troublesome.”
Kagura waved her Zanpakutō eagerly.
“Leave this matter to me! Watch me chop her up with my Zanpakutō!”
Lin Qifan’s mouth twitched. Wake him up? Are you sure you don’t want to send him away directly?
“Kagura, calm down! What we need is control, not destruction!” He quickly stopped Kagura’s violent tendencies.
Lei Li pondered for a moment and said slowly: “In this case, why not try my method. Lin Qifan, do you have any fruit here?”
fruit?
Although Lin Qifan was a little confused, he immediately asked Li Yaxuan to prepare some fresh fruits.
Rayleigh took the fruit and pulled out a peculiarly shaped short knife from his waist, the blade of which was glowing with a faint cold light.
“Watch out, young man. This is the sword technique I have practiced on the sea for many years. It is specially used to deal with those difficult guys.” Rayleigh smiled slightly and his eyes became focused.
I saw him raise his knife and slash it with a flash of knife light. The ordinary fruit seemed to become a living thing in his hand and was given new life.
The knife danced like a silver snake, so fast that it was dazzling, and the only sound in the air was the crisp sound of cutting fruit.
“Is this… a knife technique?” Lu Yifei was stunned. He claimed to be a good knife user, but in front of Rayleigh, he was just like a kindergarten kid.
Kagura was not idle either. She stuck her Zanpakutō into the ground and chanted, “Bankai! Teppanyaki mode!”
Instantly, the blade of the Zanpakutō burst into a dazzling red light, and the ground began to shake.
A huge flaming iron plate appeared out of nowhere, emitting scorching heat.
“It’s so hot! So hot!” Kagura stuck out her tongue, but rubbed her hands excitedly.
“Next, it’s time for my performance!”
Rayleigh placed the cut fruits on the iron plate, and Kagura stir-fried them skillfully. Amid the flashes of swords and shadows of sabers, flames and fruits intertwined, forming a strange picture.
Under the high temperature, the fruit exudes a stronger aroma. The originally crazy Erza seems to be attracted by the aroma and her movements slowed down a little.
“What a nice smell…what’s that smell?” she murmured to herself.
Seeing this, Lin Qifan was delighted. It seemed that the combination of Rayleigh and Kagura was effective!
“This is our specially made ‘Sword and Shadow Cooking Show’, Erza, would you like one?” Lin Qifan shouted loudly, trying to awaken her sanity.
Rayleigh and Kagura also cooperated and sped up their movements. The sword lights and shadows became more intense and the flames became more vigorous. The entire food city was attracted by their performance.
People stopped what they were doing and stared at this unique cooking show. Some even couldn’t help but take out their phones to take photos and videos.
“It’s amazing! This is simply art!”
“This sword technique and this flame are simply a visual feast!”
“Is this really cooking? I feel like I’m watching a great show!”
For a moment, the atmosphere in the food city was completely ignited, people forgot their previous panic, and immersed themselves in this unique performance.
While everyone was attracted by the “sword-flash cooking show”, Li Yaxuan stood silently in the corner, looking at the out-of-control Erza with complicated eyes.
She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she was completely unaware.
“Why… did it turn out like this?” Her voice was so soft, almost inaudible.
Suddenly, she felt dizzy and everything in front of her began to become blurry.
“Sister Yaxuan! Are you okay?” Lu Yifei noticed Li Yaxuan’s abnormality and hurried forward to support her.
Li Yaxuan shook her head, trying to suppress her discomfort and said, “I’m fine, just a little tired.”
However, as she spoke, her body began to tremble uncontrollably and her hands began to dance uncontrollably.
“No… My cooking… is out of control…” She whispered in pain, her voice full of fear.
Lin Qifan noticed Li Yaxuan’s abnormality. His heart tightened, knowing that things had become more complicated.
Just as everyone was trying to control Erza and trying to comfort Li Yaxuan, a man in a well-dressed suit and gold-rimmed glasses walked into the food city with a smile.
He was holding an exquisite dessert box in his hand and had a warm smile on his face, looking harmless.
“Everyone, I’m the new dessert shop owner. I’m new here, so please take care of me.” He said in a gentle voice, like an uncle next door.
He raised his head, and his eyes behind the lenses swept across the entire room, finally stopping on Lin Qifan, with a meaningful smile on his lips.
“I hope my desserts can bring some…surprises to everyone.”
At this moment when swords were flashing and flames were flying, the appearance of the dessert shop owner was like a duet suddenly popping up in the symphony, it was so out of place!
“Dessert? Surprise? Who dares to eat dessert nowadays?” Lu Yifei looked at the box in the boss’s hand as if he saw a biological weapon, and he wanted to perform a “Straw Hat Kick” on the spot.
Lin Qifan’s eyes were like X-rays, scanning this “surprise” boss up and down.
He was wearing a suit, gold-rimmed glasses, and had a harmless smile on his face, but in Lin Qifan’s opinion, this smile was even more creepy than Bill Qing’s!
There was a faint sweet aroma in the air. Normal people might find it sweet, but to Lin Qifan’s nose, it smelled like DDT-flavored perfume!
“Boss, is this dessert of yours with a buff? The kind that can make you ascend to heaven after eating it?” Lin Qifan curled the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of sarcasm.
The boss was not angry and still smiled like a salesman.
“Sir, you are joking. My desserts are just to make people happy and forget their troubles.”
“Forget your worries? I think you should just forget who you are!” Lin Qifan complained in his heart, but his face remained expressionless.
“Then may I ask, Boss, what do you use to make this dessert? Did you use the secret recipe of Happy Planet?”
The boss pushed up his glasses and his smile became even brighter.
“Well, this is a business secret. I can’t tell you.” After saying this, he elegantly opened the dessert box in his hand.
An extremely rich and sweet fragrance suddenly burst out and rushed straight to the top of the head. The people around, including Erza who was still struggling, couldn’t help but take a deep breath, as if they had inhaled a drug, revealing an intoxicated expression.
“This smell… is wrong!” Lin Qifan’s face changed. He could feel that there was an extremely dangerous power hidden in this sweet fragrance.
“Haha, it seems that everyone likes my desserts very much.” The dessert shop owner smiled playfully, and his eyes swept across everyone, finally settling on Li Yaxuan, and said meaningfully: “Especially you, beautiful lady, you will definitely like my ‘surprise’.”
Chapter 46: First attempt at the antidote cake (old version)
There was an unbearably sweet aroma in the air, and Lin Qifan knew that this was definitely not a good sign.
There is definitely something wrong with that dessert shop owner!
“Yaxuan, step back!” Lin Qifan pulled Li Yaxuan behind him, his eyes fixed on the green tea boss who was smiling harmlessly.
“Boss, is this dessert of yours supposed to have some ‘mental pollution’ effect? ​​The kind that makes people feel like they’re floating in the air after eating it?” Lin Qifan raised a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth, and had already blacklisted this guy in his heart.
The green tea shop owner was not angry, still smiling like a salesman, “Sir, you are joking. My desserts can only make people happy and forget their troubles.”
“Forget your worries? I think it should just make people forget who they are!” Lin Qifan complained in his mind, but his face remained expressionless.
The green tea boss pushed up his glasses and his smile became even brighter.
“Well, this is a trade secret. I can’t disclose it to you.” After saying this, he elegantly opened the dessert box in his hand.
An extremely strong sweet fragrance instantly emanated and rushed straight to the top of the head. The people around, including Erza who was still struggling, couldn’t help but take a deep breath, as if they had inhaled something they shouldn’t have, and revealed an intoxicated expression.
“Haha, it seems that everyone likes my desserts very much.” The owner of the dessert shop smiled playfully, scanning the crowd with his eyes, and finally stopped at Li Yaxuan, and said meaningfully: “Especially you, beautiful lady, you will definitely like my ‘surprise’.”
Lin Qifan looked at Li Yaxuan, and a trace of confusion flashed across her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
He knew that now was not the time to talk nonsense.
“Rayleigh, Kagura, prepare for battle!” Lin Qifan gave the order and went straight into combat mode.
He didn’t want to let this green tea boss do whatever he wanted.
“Yes, Captain!” Although old man Rayleigh is old, he is still agile. He draws the sword from his waist, and a sharp sword energy bursts out instantly.
Kagura licked her lips excitedly and revealed a bloodthirsty smile.
“At times like this, of course we have to use the flame teppanyaki to entertain the guests!”
The most important thing now is to solve the problem of Erza first. After all, she can’t distinguish between friend and foe now, and her combat power is ridiculously strong. She is simply a mobile “human self-propelled artillery.”
“Yaxuan, we have to make the antidote cake as soon as possible!” Lin Qifan said to Li Yaxuan. Now only she can make the antidote and stop this farce from continuing.
Li Yaxuan nodded with a serious expression.
“I understand, Qifan, let’s start now!”
Lin Qifan immediately took Li Yaxuan, Lei Li and Kagura to collect the materials needed to make the antidote cake.
“Mr. Raleigh, please use your superb knife skills to cut these fruits into dices!” Lin Qifan said, pointing to a pile of colorful fruits.
Old man Rayleigh stroked his beard and smiled confidently.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this little thing! I promise to cut it more exquisitely than the chef of a Michelin three-star restaurant!”
I saw him cutting with his knife, the knife flashing, and the fruits instantly turned into even-sized, crystal clear fruit cubes under his knife, just like works of art.
Kagura is responsible for using her Zanpakuto “Flame Teppanyaki” to process some ingredients that need to be heated.
She simply thrust her Zanpakutō into the ground, and a flame instantly rose up, forming a natural teppanyaki grill.
“This way of grilling is so cool!” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but exclaimed.
Li Yaxuan was standing aside, carefully mixing the proportions of various materials.
She looked focused and meticulous, as if she was performing a sacred ritual.
However, during the production process, Li Yaxuan discovered something wrong.
“Qifan, look at these ingredients…” Li Yaxuan pointed at some special ingredients, looking a little confused.
“These things seem to be somewhat similar to the secret techniques of my family…”
Lin Qifan leaned over to take a look and was also stunned.
These materials do look familiar, as if I have seen them somewhere.
“You mean, these materials may be related to your family?” Lin Qifan asked.
Li Yaxuan nodded, frowning.
“I’m not sure, but this feeling is very strong. Also, the formula of this antidote is a bit strange…”
Lin Qifan suddenly realized that things might not be that simple.
This green tea boss probably doesn’t just want to control Erza. His target is most likely Li Yaxuan, or even the family behind her!
“Yaxuan, think carefully, does your family have any special secrets or any unknown enemies?” Lin Qifan asked.
Li Yaxuan shook her head, looking a little confused.
“I don’t know either. I have been well protected by my family since I was a child, so I don’t know much about family affairs…”
Lin Qifan sighed. It seemed that if he wanted to find out the truth, he would need to think long and hard.
However, the most important thing now is to solve Erza’s problem first.
After some effort, the antidote cake was finally completed.
This cake looks very tempting, decorated with various fresh fruits and creams, exuding a faint fragrance.
“I hope this will work…” Lin Qifan prayed silently in his heart and brought the cake to Erza.
“Erusa, eat this cake and you will return to normal!” Lin Qifan said softly, trying to awaken Erza’s consciousness.
However, Erza seemed to not hear Lin Qifan’s words at all. Her eyes were red and she stared at the cake as if she saw an enemy.
“Get away! I don’t want to eat your food!” Erza roared, and waved her hand violently, knocking the cake in Lin Qifan’s hand to the ground.
The cake fell to the ground and broke into pieces in an instant, with cream and fruits scattered all over the floor, looking very messy.
Lin Qifan looked at the cake on the ground and his face instantly turned gloomy.
The antidote doesn’t seem to work…
“It seems that you don’t like my ‘surprise’.” The Green Tea boss laughed at the side.
He secretly sabotaged the effect of the antidote cake and attempted to get close to Li Yaxuan to obtain more secrets about her family.
“Beautiful lady, why don’t we find a quiet place and have a good chat about your family affairs?” The Green Tea boss said as he extended his hand towards Li Yaxuan.
Li Yaxuan subconsciously took a step back.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Li Yaxuan suddenly recalled some family past. Those long-forgotten fragments of memory flooded into her heart like a tide, making her feel dizzy… Just when Lin Qifan’s scalp was tingling, wondering whether he should give Erza a “Magic Circle of Love”, Li Yaxuan suddenly covered her head, her delicate features wrinkled into a ball, like a frightened kitten.
“Yaxuan, what’s wrong with you?!” Lin Qifan rushed forward and supported the staggering Li Yaxuan. This was not okay. If another one fell, he was afraid that he would explode on the spot.
“I… I seem to have remembered something…” Li Yaxuan’s voice trembled a little, and beads of sweat oozed out of her forehead, “About… about the formula of this potion, I, I remember it!”
Before Lin Qifan could breathe a sigh of relief, a burst of earth-shaking screams suddenly came from outside the food city, followed by noisy footsteps and chaotic shouts. The entire food city seemed to have turned into a vegetable market in an instant.
“Shit, what’s going on?!” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but swear. Isn’t the difficulty of this dungeon a bit beyond the standard?
One wave after another comes, leaving no one a chance to breathe.
“Captain, something seems to have happened outside!” Old Man Rayleigh’s ears moved, and his face became serious. “From the noise, it seems that the person coming is not friendly!”
Kagura also put away her playful smile, drew out her Zanpakutō, and said excitedly: “Another fight? Great, my flame teppanyaki is already thirsty!”
Lin Qifan took a deep breath, protected Li Yaxuan behind him, and looked sharply towards the entrance of the food city. There was an unsettling atmosphere in the air, like the calm before the storm.
Li Yaxuan tightly grasped the corner of Lin Qifan’s clothes, raised her head, and said with a firm look in her eyes: “Qifan, I know what to do…”
Chapter 47 Memory Dessert Reveals Conspiracy (Old Version)
When everyone was on high alert, Li Yaxuan suddenly spoke and told Lin Qifan what she was thinking.
At this moment, Lin Qifan suddenly thought of the system mall he brought with him when he traveled through time. There were many rare and strange ingredients in it, which might come in handy at this time.
Li Yaxuan took a deep breath, her eyes filled with a determination she had never seen before.
In this mysterious and fantastic food city world, Lin Qifan has a special system mall.
What’s going on?
He traveled to this world from another place, and this system mall was the special ability he brought with him when he traveled through time. There were all kinds of rare ingredients in it, which were hard to find in this world.
Li Yaxuan took another deep breath, her eyes flashing with an unprecedented determination.
Her eyes, like the brightest stars in the night sky, radiate a particularly determined light.
The sound of her breathing could be heard particularly clearly in this quiet kitchen, like a steady drumbeat, beating out the tense atmosphere one by one.
Her chest rose and fell with her breathing, as if she was gathering endless energy.
The family’s secret recipe, memory dessert, became her only hope at this time.
She seemed like a different person. Every move she made was filled with unquestionable dignity. Where was the weak maid she used to be?
She stood there, her body straight, her back as strong as a pine tree, and every movement she made was crisp and clean, with a natural nobility and confidence.
She was walking in the kitchen, and the sound of her footsteps on the ground was so crisp, as if to say that she had become a different person.
This is a real rich girl. The unyielding spirit in her bones was finally fully displayed at this moment.
In the kitchen, those rare ingredients seemed to come alive in her hands.
The colors of those ingredients were so beautiful, some were red like fire, some were green like jade, they rolled and jumped up and down between her nimble fingers.
Her slender fingers drew beautiful arcs in the air like playing the piano.
When you lightly touch the food with your fingers, it feels so delicate, just like silk sliding across your skin.
She began to make the dessert from her memory. She first picked up a bag of flour. The flour was as white as snow and slowly fell in her hands, like snowflakes falling in winter, with a slightly cool feeling.
She kneaded the flour gently, feeling the delicate feeling of the flour between her fingers. This soft feeling slowly calmed her heart.
Then, she poured in some fragrant sugar, and the sweet smell immediately spread in the air and went straight into her nose.
As she stirred the sugar granules, they slowly mixed with the flour, making a slight rustling sound, like a beautiful piece of music.
She took out some fresh cream, which was white, delicate and light as a cloud.
She slowly poured the cream into the mixture of flour and sugar. The cream was thick and it changed slowly as she stirred it.
She gently turned her wrist and stirred things as if she was dancing, which was very beautiful.
While stirring, she could feel the temperature of the stuff in her hands rising little by little, which was the heat from her hands being transferred there.
Flour, sugar and butter seemed to have souls in her hands. She mixed, stirred and kneaded them. Every step was very precise, as if she had practiced it many times.
The air is filled with a sweet and fragrant smell. This smell is the kind that reminds people of many things and it is also the kind that gives people hope.
The sweet smell was like an invisible thread, gently lingering around her nose, making her a little dizzy.
“Hu——” Li Yaxuan breathed lightly, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Under the light, the sweat beads looked like sparkling pearls, slowly flowing down his face.
To make this dessert, you need not only great skills, but also a lot of spirit.
She seemed to be able to feel that the older generation in her family were watching her, and a warm feeling emerged from her heart, giving her endless energy.
This warmth was like warm sunlight, illuminating the dark corners of her heart and making her feel more at ease.
At this time, Lin Qifan was also busy.
The research and development of this “antidote cake” is much more exciting and stressful than the college entrance examination.
As for him, while directing Grandpa Rayleigh and Kagura, he was desperately looking for all kinds of strange ingredients in the system mall.
Why should we look for these strange ingredients in the system mall?
He knew very well that these special ingredients had unique energy that could make the cake’s medicinal effect stronger.
Take the colorful crystal fruit he found, for example. I heard that this fruit contains seven different elemental energies, and it is particularly effective in removing control, just like magic.
“Grandpa, you have to be more meticulous with your knife skills. We are not cutting watermelons here. You have to do it like you are carving a work of art!” Lin Qifan pointed at the cake base and said seriously.
Old man Rayleigh is the top swordsman in the world of One Piece. An ordinary kitchen knife in his hands is like a divine weapon.
The knife flashed and the cake base was cut into evenly thin slices, more accurately than cutting by a machine.
This delicate knife skills are extremely important for the subsequent baking and shaping of the cake. Why?
Because evenly thin slices allow the flame to bake better, the cake will taste better and have better medicinal effects.
When Grandpa Reilly cut the cake base, the sound of the knife blade hitting the cake base was particularly crisp and pleasant, just like the strings of a guzheng being gently plucked.
“Flame Teppanyaki, let’s begin!” Kagura shouted excitedly, and the Zanpakuto in her hand suddenly ignited a big fire, roasting the cake base until it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the aroma kept emitting from it.
The flames crackled like the beat of a cheerful drum.
The heat from the flames rushed straight towards her face, so hot that it made Kagura’s face a little red.
This is not just making a cake, it’s actually a super good show!
Look at the dancing flames, the flashing knife light, and the cake base emitting a tempting aroma. When put together, they look like a particularly beautiful painting.
“Great!” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.
This improved “antidote cake” not only looks several times better than before, but its medicinal effect has also become much stronger.
He felt that he was about to see the hope of victory.
Finally, Li Yaxuan’s “memory dessert” was ready.
It was a particularly delicate little cake, with a faint golden glow, as if it contained countless secrets.
The golden light was soft and warm, like a dreamy halo, gently covering the cake.
She carefully brought the cake to Erza. Her hands were shaking a little, and it was obvious that she was both nervous and excited.
Erza took the cake like a robot and swallowed it in one bite.
Then her body shook slightly, and after a while, she suddenly raised her head, and there was a hint of clarity in her eyes.
Her eyes were like the sun covered by dark clouds, finally revealing a little light.
“I… I remember…” Erza’s voice was a little hoarse, and a sparkling tear flowed from the corner of her eye.
Under the light, the tears shone with sadness and regret.
She stammered as she spoke about how she was controlled and the green tea conspiracy.
When Li Yaxuan heard these conspiracies, she became furious.
She clenched her hands into fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh.
Her breathing became rapid and her chest rose and fell violently.
As Erza spoke, the true face of the green tea girl slowly revealed itself.
After all this fuss, she pretended to be the owner of a dessert shop, using special potions to control the summoners of the food city, wanting to hold the entire other world in her own hands.
Li Yaxuan angrily listed all the bad things that Green Tea had done one by one. It was so satisfying and every word was very powerful.
Her voice was like the sound of a huge bell, and every word was filled with a sense of justice.
At this time, she is no longer the weak little maid, but a warrior who bravely fights for justice.
Green tea’s face first turned white, then green, then purple, and finally dark.
She didn’t expect that her conspiracy would be seen through so easily. She was embarrassed and annoyed, and stood up immediately.
“You…you’re talking nonsense!” Green Tea’s voice was sharp and shrill, like the cry of a night owl, giving people goose bumps.
She trembled and pointed her finger at Li Yaxuan, saying viciously: “I’m going to kill you!”
Seeing that this green tea girl is about to take action…
Just when the shrill voice of the green tea girl was about to pierce people’s eardrums, Lin Qifan curled the corners of his mouth, revealing the cleverness of a little fox.
He waved his arm, and pieces of “antidote cakes” emitting tempting fragrance flew towards the controlled summoners like fairy flowers.
The fragrance of the cake seemed to have invisible wings, floating in the air and attracting all the controlled summoners.
Lin Qifan also shouted loudly: “Come and try my special little cakes. They are definitely good to eat. I’m not lying to you!” He looked like a quack doctor walking around the streets.
Those summoners who were controlled were stupid and dazed like puppets before, but after smelling the fragrance of the cake, they scrambled for it like hungry wolves seeing meat.
The scene of the fight was chaotic, their bodies bumped into each other, making all kinds of messy noises.
After taking a bite of the cake, his dull eyes suddenly brightened up, and his confused face became clear.
“Oh my god, this cake is amazing!” “Where am I? What just happened?” “I feel like I’m alive again!” For a moment, all kinds of exclamations came one after another, as lively as a vegetable market.
When the green tea girl saw this, her face suddenly became extremely ugly, as if she had eaten a fly.
“You guys only care about eating, and I can get rid of you with just a piece of cake!” She stomped her feet in anger. Her face, which was usually well cared for, was distorted because of anger, just like an angry puffer fish.
She stared at Lin Qifan fiercely, and the ferocity in her eyes was so fierce that it felt like it could turn into a real knife.
“Boy, you ruined my good thing!”
But Lin Qifan was not afraid at all and laughed even more happily.
“Hmph, I just don’t like people like you who pretend to be nice, so I’m here today to teach you a lesson.” He shrugged nonchalantly, and that expression really made him ask for a beating.
“What do you think? Are you surprised and happy?” At this moment, the woman suddenly took out a black ball from her arms. The black ball was emitting a very strange light.
The black ball kept getting bigger in her hand, emitting a particularly uncomfortable feeling of oppression.
The light emitted by the black ball was like a ghost in the dark, revealing an indescribable weirdness and evil.
“If you don’t accept my toast, then don’t blame me for being ruthless!” The woman laughed sinisterly, her voice full of madness, “Go to hell!” After saying that, she threw the black ball in her hand into the air… “Oh, this thing is interesting…” Lin Qifan squinted his eyes and muttered softly.
Chapter 48: Mysterious Item First Encounter (Old Version)
This thing is quite interesting…” Lin Qifan narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.
His eyes were fixed on the small black ball in Green Tea’s hand, and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
At this moment, there was a depressing atmosphere in the air, making people feel as if a storm was coming.
Sure enough, the small black ball in Green Tea’s hand instantly expanded to the size of a basketball, like an over-inflated balloon.
The surface of the black sphere flickered with a strange purple light, like the faint light from hell, which hurt people’s eyes.
This purple light exudes a strange aura, as if it hides endless evil power.
When you touch it with your hand, you can feel a bone-chilling chill, as if you were touching thousand-year-old ice, running through your fingertips straight into your heart.
An unprecedented sense of oppression, like a mountain pressing down on one’s head, hit everyone present hard.
Everyone felt it was difficult to breathe, as if an invisible hand was tightly strangling their throats.
A dull whistling sound came from my ears, like the roar of a giant beast, which made my eardrums hurt.
“Fuck! This is going to cause trouble!” Lin Qifan’s face changed slightly. This power is definitely not ordinary stuff.
His body was trembling slightly and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He immediately opened his voice and shouted, “Don’t just stand there! Hold on to the elderly, the weak and the sick next to you! There’s going to be an earthquake!” His voice was particularly loud in the noisy environment, like a thunderclap, waking everyone up.
Before he finished speaking, the entire food city began shaking wildly like a sock thrown into a washing machine.
On the walls of the food city, lime was falling, making rustling sounds.
The chandelier above my head made a creaking sound, as if it was about to fall down at any second.
The swaying light and shadow of the chandelier kept flickering on the ground, like a ghostly figure.
The dining table, chairs and benches looked like they were drunk, leaning all over the place and in a mess.
The sounds of tables and chairs colliding, cutlery breaking, and people screaming intertwined together to form a chaotic symphony.
“Oh my god! This green tea girl might destroy the world!” Lin Qifan complained while holding on to the table leg next to him tightly, fearing that he would be thrown out.
The joints of his hands turned white from excessive exertion.
At this critical moment, a sharp knife light cut through the air.
The blade light was as dazzling as lightning, carrying a fierce momentum, as if it was going to split this chaotic world into two.
“Hah!” Rayleigh moved!
The newly summoned “Pluto” Silverbaz Rayleigh is incredibly agile.
His body is as agile as a cheetah, and every movement is full of power.
He was seen holding a sharp blade and chopping at the energy fluctuations released by the black ball with lightning speed.
The blade rubbed against the air, making a sharp whistling sound, like the cry of an angry eagle.
“Bang bang bang!” There were explosions in the air. Rayleigh’s sword energy collided with the energy of the black ball, causing circles of invisible ripples.
The ripples spread out like water waves, and wherever they went, the surrounding air was distorted.
People could feel a strong airflow coming towards them, making their hair fly.
I have to say that Rayleigh’s swordsmanship is really amazing. He managed to block the violent energy fluctuations.
His eyes were firm and sharp, as if nothing could stop him.
On the other side, Kagura was not to be outdone.
She gave a delicate cry, her voice clear and pleasant, yet carrying an unquestionable majesty.
The Zanpakuto “Gray Cat” in his hand was instantly released.
The “Gray Cat” turned into a huge ball of black flame, which was like a burning ghost, emitting a scorching temperature.
Kagura wielded her Zanpakuto, condensing the flames into an indestructible barrier to block everyone.
The sound of the burning flames, like the crackling sound of firecrackers, exploded in my ears.
“Flame Teppanyaki, hold on for me!” I have to say, this Death Girl’s fighting style is really unique.
Use your Zanpakutō to create a flame barrier?
It’s a pity she could think of that.
Kagura’s face was filled with a confident smile, as if everything was under her control.
With the combined defense of Rayleigh and Kagura, everyone was finally able to stabilize themselves and no longer ran around like headless flies.
However, the crisis has not been resolved.
The energy released by the black ball continues to increase.
Rayleigh and Kagura’s defenses also began to become precarious.
“Puff…” Li Yaxuan suddenly groaned and her face turned extremely pale.
Her body swayed slightly, as if a gust of wind would blow her down.
“Yaxuan, are you okay?” Lin Qifan quickly supported her and asked with concern.
his
“I… I’m fine…” Li Yaxuan shook her head, but beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Her voice was weak and trembling, as if she had used up all her strength.
“It’s the side effect of ‘cooking out of control’…” It turned out that under the influence of this mysterious force, the side effect of “cooking out of control” in Li Yaxuan’s body broke out again.
She felt as if her internal organs were churning and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
She felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, as if countless knives were cutting her.
“Damn it! What the hell is this thing?” Li Yaxuan gritted her teeth, trying hard to suppress the violent power in her body.
Her lips were bitten purple, her hands were clenched into fists, her nails dug deep into her palms.
She tried to find a clue, a glimmer of hope that could resolve the crisis.
Her mind kept recalling what she had learned, hoping to find something similar to the black ball.
At the same time, Erza also joined the battle.
Under the protection of Rayleigh and Kagura, she has gradually regained her sanity.
Looking at the chaotic scene in front of her, a surge of anger burned in her heart.
“Fairy Queen” Erza is not just a vase character.
She has been through many battles and has rich combat experience.
She was seen holding a sword, wearing armor, and rushing towards the black ball heroically.
Her steps were firm and powerful, and every step seemed to be stepping on the enemy’s heart.
“Heavenly Wheel Armor!” Erza shouted delicately, and instantly changed into a set of silver armor, and countless sharp swords appeared behind her.
The armor shone brightly under the light, as if it had covered her with a sacred coat.
She waved the sword in her hand and attacked the black ball fiercely.
“Dang dang dang!” The long sword collided with the black ball, making a crisp metal collision sound.
The sound was like a clear bell, echoing in the food city.
However, the defensive power of this small black ball is stronger than one could imagine.
Although Erza’s attack was able to weaken its power, the effect was minimal.
Erza’s brows were furrowed, and her eyes revealed a hint of anger and unwillingness.
“Damn! This thing is too hard!” Erza couldn’t help but swear.
However, she did not give up.
She knew that she had to do her best to buy time for her companions.
Rayleigh, Kagura, and Erza, three powerful summoned characters, each showed their magical powers and fought together against the mysterious black ball.
Their figures looked particularly tall and heroic under the light of the black ball.
Just as everyone was trying hard to fight, the purple light on the surface of the black ball suddenly became more dazzling, and the energy fluctuations became more chaotic.
The purple light was like a surging tide, impacting everyone’s visual nerves wave after wave.
The airflow generated by the energy fluctuations is like an invisible whip, lashing everything around.
Li Yaxuan seemed to have noticed something and suddenly exclaimed, “Be careful!”
Almost at the same time, the small black ball that was still expanding suddenly stopped expanding.
Then, it exploded like a supernova, releasing an even more powerful energy ray.
The energy ray was like a giant python, emitting a terrifying aura.
“Wow!” Lin Qifan’s eyes almost popped out of his head. This thing has a tracking function?!
That energy ray seemed to have eyes and locked onto Li Yaxuan at an astonishing speed!
It cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, like the call of death.
Rayleigh frowned and wanted to rush over to save people, but the distance was too far and he couldn’t reach them.
He leaned forward slightly, trying to speed up, but he was unable to do so.
Although Kagura’s flame barrier was strong, it seemed to be somewhat powerless in the face of such high-energy rays.
The flames flickered constantly under the impact of the rays, as if they would go out at any time.
Erza was so anxious that she stamped her feet. She changed her armor very quickly, and she wished she could immediately create a pair of wings and fly over.
She held the sword tightly in both hands.
But it’s all too late.
The speed of the energy ray is so fast that people can’t react at all.
It was like a flash of lightning that cut through the night sky and instantly approached Li Yaxuan.
Li Yaxuan’s face turned pale and her pupils shrank suddenly.
She could feel the terrifying pressure of that energy, as if it was going to devour her completely.
She wanted to hide, but her body seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to move.
It’s over, it’s over…
At the critical moment, Li Yaxuan slowly raised her right hand, muttering something, with a strange light flashing at her fingertips.
The light was like a bright star, particularly dazzling in the darkness.
“In the name of my family…”
Chapter 49: Family Secrets Help Again (Old Version)
“In the name of my family…” Although Li Yaxuan’s voice was not loud, everyone present could hear it clearly.
Just as the energy ray was about to touch her, an ancient and mysterious power burst out from her body.
It was an indescribable feeling, as if time had stood still.
Suddenly, a light curtain composed of countless tiny runes appeared around Li Yaxuan.
Those runes are ancient and profound, emitting a faint golden light and shining like stars.
“Fuck, what kind of black technology is this?” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but swear, his eyes widened.
This scene is so fucking shocking, it’s like a scene from a special effects blockbuster!
The energy rays hit the light curtain hard, making a “sizzling” sound, as if two powerful forces were competing against each other.
Surprisingly, the seemingly indestructible energy ray was completely blocked by the light curtain and could not advance even an inch.
“Blocked… Blocked?!” The ray of hope rekindled on Erza’s originally desperate face.
Rayleigh also breathed a sigh of relief and stroked his beard.
Kagura waved her Zanpakutō excitedly: “Great, now we have a chance to fight back!”
Li Yaxuan’s face did not look relaxed, she could feel the strength in her body rapidly dissipating.
Maintaining this light curtain requires a lot of mental strength and energy, which is a huge burden for her.
“Yaxuan, how long can you hold on?” Lin Qifan immediately rushed to Li Yaxuan and asked with concern.
Li Yaxuan clenched her teeth, beads of sweat oozing out of her forehead: “I… I don’t know either. This is the first time I use this secret method. I can only hold on as much as possible.”
“OK, got it!” Lin Qifan took a deep breath and his brain worked rapidly.
The current situation is like playing a difficult game. Li Yaxuan is responsible for providing defense, and he must find the enemy’s weakness as soon as possible and defeat it in one fell swoop!
“Senior Rayleigh, Kagura, let’s go!” Lin Qifan’s eyes focused and he gave the order decisively.
“The target is that green tea bitch. We need to cut off the source of energy!”
Upon hearing this, Rayleigh nodded, and the knife in his hand made a clear sound: “I understand.”
His figure flashed and he disappeared in an instant. When he appeared again, he was already in front of Green Tea.
“Old man, what do you want to do?” When Green Tea saw Rayleigh suddenly appear, his face suddenly turned ugly.
Rayleigh grinned, revealing his sharp teeth: “Of course I’ll send you to heaven!”
He swung the knife in his hand suddenly, and a sharp sword energy went straight towards Green Tea.
Green Tea quickly dodged, but was still hit by the sword energy, leaving a bloody mark on his arm.
“Damn it!” Green Tea cursed, and the mysterious object in her hand emitted a dazzling light again.
At the same time, Kagura also moved.
She let out a delicate cry, and the Zanpakutō in her hand was instantly released, transforming into a huge flaming blade.
“Bankai! Flame Teppanyaki!”
Kagura wielded her flaming blade, creating a flaming barrier around Midori, surrounding her.
“Want to trap me with this little trick? Dream on!” Green Tea sneered, and the mysterious object in her hand began to vibrate violently.
She frantically urged the power of the mysterious object, and black energy rays shot out from the mysterious object, trying to break through the flame barrier.
Erza gradually regained her sanity at this time.
She looked at the chaotic battlefield in front of her, and the confusion in her heart gradually dissipated, replaced by firmness and determination.
“I was summoned here to help Master Qifan fight!”
Erza clenched her fists, and the armor on her body changed again, turning into a set of golden armor shining with holy light.
“Heavenly Wheel Armor!”
She raised the sword in her hand high and rushed towards Green Tea.
“You must not be allowed to continue controlling that evil object!”
Green Tea saw Erza rushing over,
She quickly turned the direction of the mysterious object, and a black energy ray headed straight for Erza.
Erza did not dodge or evade, but swung the sword in her hand suddenly, and a golden sword energy met the energy ray.
The two forces collided in the air, making a loud bang.
Erza was knocked back by the shock wave of the explosion and fell heavily to the ground.
But she didn’t care. She struggled to get up and rushed towards Green Tea again.
Seeing Erza being so tenacious, Green Tea became even more anxious.
She frantically urged the power of the mysterious object, shooting out beams of energy as if they were free, trying to stop Erza from getting close.
However, Erza was like a tireless warrior. She was knocked down again and again, but stood up again and again, and never gave up.
“For Master Qifan, I will never fall!”
While Li Yaxuan was struggling to hold on using her family’s secret method, Lin Qifan was also quickly analyzing the situation.
“Although Senior Rayleigh’s swordsmanship is powerful, that green tea bitch seems to have some special defensive means, so it’s difficult to hit her directly.”
“Although Kagura’s flame barrier can trap her, the energy of that mysterious object is too strong and it will be broken through sooner or later.”
“Although Erza tried very hard, her strength was still reduced due to the effects of the potion, and it is difficult for her to pose a substantial threat to the green tea bitch.”
“The most important thing is that mysterious item!” Lin Qifan’s eyes were fixed on the mysterious item in Green Tea’s hand.
“As long as we can cut off the energy supply of that mysterious object, all problems will be solved!”
Thinking of this, Lin Qifan immediately had an idea.
He ran to Kagura and shouted, “Kagura, use your flame teppanyaki to roast that green tea bitch!”
Kagura was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: “Bake it? But, can this really solve the problem?”
Lin Qifan smiled mysteriously: “Trust me, it will definitely work!”
Although Kagura was a little confused, she still chose to believe Lin Qifan.
She took a deep breath and danced the flaming blade in her hand more violently, and the temperature of the flame barrier rose instantly.
Green Tea was in the flame barrier and suddenly felt as if she was being roasted in a furnace, with an unbearable heat all over her body.
“Damn it, what on earth do you want to do?!” she couldn’t help but roared.
At this moment, Lin Qifan suddenly drilled in through the gap in the flame barrier.
Holding a fruit knife, he rushed towards the mysterious object in Green Tea’s hand.
“If I want to cut off the energy supply, I’ll start with you, the green tea!” Lin Qifan’s eyes flashed and he shouted.
Seeing this, Green Tea hurriedly waved the mysterious object in her hand, and a black energy ray went straight towards Lin Qifan.
Lin Qifan was prepared. He dodged the energy ray by leaning sideways and stabbed the mysterious object with the fruit knife in his hand.
A crisp sound was heard, and a crack appeared on the mysterious object.
Green Tea’s face turned pale in an instant.
“No… Impossible!” She looked at the mysterious object in her hand in disbelief.
At this moment, Li Yaxuan’s light curtain suddenly began to tremble violently, as if it would break at any time.
“Qifan, I…I can’t hold on any longer!” Li Yaxuan’s voice came weakly.
“Yaxuan, hold on!” Lin Qifan encouraged loudly.
He took a deep breath, concentrated all his energy on the fruit knife in his hand, and stabbed at the mysterious object again.
However, just as his fruit knife was about to touch the mysterious object, the mysterious object suddenly burst into a dazzling light.
Then, it exploded like a supernova, releasing an even more powerful energy ray…
“Be careful!” Rayleigh yelled and wanted to rush over to save Lin Qifan, but it was too late.
Lin Qifan only felt a powerful force rushing towards him, blowing him away.
His body hit the flame barrier heavily, then fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
“Lord Qifan!” Erza exclaimed when she saw Lin Qifan was injured.
She rushed towards Lin Qifan desperately, wanting to help him up.
However, at this moment, the mysterious object suddenly stopped releasing energy rays.
The whole space fell silent, leaving only the crackling sound of the burning flames.
Green Tea stood there, motionless, as if it had turned into a sculpture.
Her eyes were empty and her face was full of confusion and fear.
“This…what’s going on?” she muttered to herself, her voice trembling.
Just when everyone was puzzled, Green Tea suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Yaxuan.
There was a weird smile on her lips and a crazy light in her eyes.
“The game has just begun…”
“What the hell is this?!” Lin Qifan struggled to get up from the ground. He didn’t even bother to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He stared at the weird scene in front of him with wide eyes.
There was an indescribable stench in the air, like the smell of rotten meat mixed with some chemical agent, which made people feel nauseous.
The originally bright room now seemed to be covered with a gray filter, and all the colors became dim and depressing.
Some twisted lines began to appear on the wall, pulsating like blood vessels, making people feel as if they were inside the body of a living creature.
What’s even more creepy is that the space around him began to twist unsteadily, like the world seen in a funhouse mirror.
The floor undulated like waves, the ceiling seemed to be collapsing, and even the air became sticky and heavy, making breathing difficult.
“This…what’s going on?!” Erza gripped the sword tightly and looked around vigilantly. The light emitted by the holy light armor seemed particularly weak in this distorted space.
“Oh no! This thing is definitely cheating!” Rayleigh narrowed his eyes and gripped the knife tighter, as if ready for a fierce battle at any time, “Boy, be careful, this aura… is not right!”
Kagura also felt this sense of oppression. She clenched her teeth and danced the flaming blade vigorously, trying to dispel the strange aura around her.
But the flame seemed to become somewhat powerless in this twisted space, and the light flickered, as if it would go out at any time.
Li Yaxuan’s face became even paler. She could feel that the strength in her body was being eroded by some mysterious force. The light curtain that had been barely maintained before now became shaky, as if it would collapse at any time.
“Qifan…I…” There was a hint of despair in Li Yaxuan’s voice. She knew that she could not hold on any longer.
At this moment, Green Tea, who had been motionless, suddenly raised her head slowly.
There was a strange smile on her face, like a demon crawling out of hell, which made people shudder.
“Haha…hahaha…surprised?” Green Tea’s voice was hoarse and low, as harsh as sandpaper rubbing against glass, “This is just…an appetizer…”
Chapter 50: Final Battle of Dessert Rebellion (Old Version)
“Hehe…hehe…surprised?” Green Tea’s laughter, which sounded like a devil from hell, was still echoing in the twisted space, making people’s scalps numb.
Lin Qifan narrowed his eyes
“Everyone follow the plan!” He commanded calmly, his eyes sweeping over everyone, conveying his belief in victory, “Rayleigh, Kagura, hit it hard!”
Rayleigh chuckled, and the knife in his hand flashed coldly.
“I can’t wait any longer!” He flashed and rushed towards the twisted energy body like a bolt of lightning.
“Kid, watch me!”
“Shave!” Rayleigh shouted, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot. When he appeared again, he had already come to the side of the energy body.
The knife in his hand, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, chopped fiercely at the core of the energy body!
Kagura was not to be outdone. She let out a delicate cry, and the Zanpakutō in her hand instantly burst into flames.
“Teppanyaki, ready!” She injected spiritual power into the blade, and the flames instantly surged, transforming into a huge wall of fire, blocking the energy body’s retreat.
“Hahaha! Today I’ll let you guys taste what Kagura’s special flame teppanyaki is!” Kagura waved the flaming blade while nimbly dodged the strange aura emitted by the energy body.
She was like a chef stir-frying ingredients on a teppanyaki table, controlling the flames and constantly roasting the energy body.
Rayleigh’s blade and Kagura’s flame, one on the left and one on the right, launched fierce attacks on the energy body at the same time.
They have only one goal, which is to disrupt the energy flow of the energy body and buy time for Li Yaxuan.
Li Yaxuan took a deep breath and tried to calm the surging power in her body.
She knew that she was the key to this battle.
“Family secret method…I must succeed!” She closed her eyes tightly and made complicated hand seals with her hands.
The ancient family books emerged in her mind, and those dusty memories came flooding back like a tide.
She saw that the ancestors of her family paid a huge price to protect a certain secret.
She saw the family’s glory and responsibility, but also the shadows and crises hidden behind it.
“So…so that’s how it is…” Li Yaxuan murmured to herself, her face becoming paler and paler, and fine beads of sweat oozing out of her forehead.
But her eyes became more and more determined, and her heart became clearer and clearer.
She finally understood the true mission of her family.
“For the honor of my family, to protect this world… I will never give up!” Li Yaxuan suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes flashing with determination.
The light on her body became brighter and brighter, and stronger and stronger.
She once again used her family’s secret technique, and mysterious rays of light surged out of her body and rushed towards the twisted energy body.
These light patterns, like fine silk threads, entangled with the energy body, trying to suppress its violent power.
“Ah…” Li Yaxuan groaned in pain. She could feel that her strength was being rapidly consumed.
However, she did not retreat at all. She gritted her teeth and tried her best to mobilize the spiritual power in her body.
At the same time, Erza, who had regained her sanity, joined the battle.
She put on the most powerful Tianlun Armor, held two swords, and launched a fierce attack on Green Tea.
“Green Tea! You despicable guy! I will pay the price for the days I was controlled by you!” Erza roared, and her sword blade slashed towards Green Tea with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
Green Tea’s face turned pale. She didn’t expect Erza to regain her sanity so quickly. She also didn’t expect Erza’s power to be so strong.
She dodged Erza’s attacks while controlling the twisted energy body.
However, due to the interference of Rayleigh and Kagura, she could no longer fully control the power of the energy body.
“Damn it… Damn it!” Green Tea gritted her teeth, but she was unwilling to fail.
“I won’t lose! I will never lose to you guys!” Green Tea roared madly.
Erza’s sword was getting faster and more powerful.
Green tea’s defense is becoming weaker and weaker.
Finally, Erza seized an opportunity. She cut through Green Tea’s defense with one sword and stabbed her hard in the chest.
“Puff…” Green Tea spat out a mouthful of blood. Her body was shaking, as if she would fall down at any time.
And at this moment, Lin Qifan moved.
He had been observing the battle situation, looking for the best opportunity.
Now, he finally found it.
“Now!” Lin Qifan roared, and his figure flashed and instantly came in front of the energy body.
He formed seals with his hands and released the spiritual power in his body without reservation.
“Li Yaxuan! Cooperate with me!” Lin Qifan shouted loudly.
Li Yaxuan understood what he meant, and she also released the spiritual power in her body at the same time.
The two powerful forces gathered together to form a dazzling beam of light, which slammed hard into the core of the energy body.
“boom…”
There was a loud bang, deafening.
The twisted energy body finally collapsed and disintegrated under the joint attack of Lin Qifan and Li Yaxuan.
The fragments of the energy body flew in all directions like meteors.
Those summoners who were controlled by the “Dessert Addiction Potion” also regained their sanity.
Erza retracted her sword, walked to Lin Qifan’s side, and said gratefully: “Thank you, Lin Qifan. Thank you for saving me.”
Lin Qifan smiled slightly and said, “Don’t thank me, this is the result of our joint efforts.”
Li Yaxuan also came over. She looked at Lin Qifan with eyes full of gratitude and admiration.
“Qifan…thank you…” she said softly, with a slight tremor in her voice.
Lin Qifan reached out his hand, gently stroked Li Yaxuan’s cheek, and said softly: “Silly, there is no need to say thank you between us.”
At this moment, Green Tea suddenly let out a shrill scream.
“Ah…” Green Tea covered her chest and fell to the ground in pain.
Her face was as pale as paper and her eyes were full of fear and despair.
“Impossible… This is impossible… How could I lose… How could I lose to you guys…” Green Tea muttered to herself, her voice becoming weaker and weaker.
Lin Qifan walked up to Green Tea, looked down at her, and said coldly: “You lost. You lost because of your selfishness and greed. In order to achieve your own goals, you did not hesitate to hurt others, and in the end you will be hurt by others.”
Green Tea raised her head, glared at Lin Qifan fiercely, and said hoarsely: “You… don’t be complacent… I… I won’t let you go… I will definitely come back…”
Lin Qifan smiled contemptuously and said, “Really? I’ll wait for you.”
Green Tea’s eyes were filled with resentment. She struggled to stand up, but her body was so weak that she couldn’t even stand.
“Wait, do you think this is the end?” Green Tea suddenly laughed crazily. Her voice was sharp and piercing, breaking the tranquility of the air after surviving the disaster. “I still have a trump card! Hahaha…you stupid guys, get ready to face real despair!”
After saying that, she suddenly jumped up from the ground and staggered away.
Her figure, in the afterglow of the setting sun, looked particularly embarrassed and crazy…
“Want to run away? Have you got my permission?” Lin Qifan curled his lips into a sneer. This green tea girl, does she really think he is a vegetarian?
He rushed forward and blocked Green Tea’s way.
“Today, you must give an explanation!”
Everyone gathered around, Erza gripped her swords tightly, with flames of anger burning in her eyes.
“Want to escape? Not that easy!” Kagura also waved her Zanpakuto, and flames danced on the blade.
“Could you tell me about the teppanyaki set meal?” Although Li Yaxuan looked pale, she still stood firmly beside Lin Qifan. The power brought by the family’s secret method filled her with confidence.
Seeing that there was no hope of escape, a look of despair appeared on Green Tea’s face.
She screamed hysterically, “Don’t push me, you guys!”
Just when everyone was preparing to completely deal with Green Tea, suddenly, the entire food city began to shake violently.
A huge vortex appeared in the sky, and a mysterious figure slowly descended.
The figure was wearing a gorgeous chef’s robe and a tall chef’s hat, and he exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.
“Silence!” The voice of the mysterious figure echoed in the air like thunder. The “Food Tribunal” announced that a “Cooking Competition” would be held soon, and everyone must participate!
This is a trial of your culinary heart and a test of your taste buds!
The winner will receive supreme glory, and the loser will be severely punished!
“
After saying that, the mysterious figure gradually disappeared, and the vortex in the sky slowly closed, as if nothing had happened.
But everyone knows that a new storm is coming.
“Cooking competition? What the hell is this?” Lu Yifei scratched his head and asked in confusion.
Lin Qifan didn’t say anything, he just looked up at the sky, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.
He had a vague feeling that this so-called “cooking competition” was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
Li Yaxuan suddenly exclaimed: “Not good! The family secret method is warning us that this competition… is not easy!”
After that, he took out an ancient parchment scroll from his arms. A strange light flickered on the scroll…
Chapter 51 Cooking Competition Debut (Old Version)
In the dim room, the faint candlelight flickered, and the ancient runes on the parchment scroll flickered wildly like dancing flames, emitting a faint green light, as if they had life, foreshadowing some ominous omen.
When the runes flashed, a slight “sizzling” sound was made, as if a mysterious power was whispering.
Li Yaxuan stood aside, her brows tightly furrowed. She could feel a depressing atmosphere in the air and an uneasy feeling spreading in her heart. The atmosphere was like a tentacle, gently touching her skin, making her shiver.
“The family’s secret method is a warning… This competition may be a Hongmen Banquet!” Li Yaxuan’s voice trembled a little, with a hint of worry.
It turns out that the family’s secret warning was based on past experience with similar competitions.
Once, someone in the family participated in a seemingly ordinary cooking competition, but it turned out to be a trap set by hostile forces. Those people took advantage of loopholes in the competition rules to frame the family contestants, causing damage to the family’s reputation.
And this time, the secret method gave such a strong warning, it was very likely the same situation.
Hearing this, Lin Qifan raised a playful smile.
His laughter echoed in the room, with a hint of unruliness.
“Hongmen Banquet? I love banquets the most!” The spirit in his bones that becomes stronger when facing a strong opponent was completely aroused.
On the surface, he still looked like that lazy and useless young master who was addicted to games, but only he himself knew that at this moment, his heart was already turbulent and his will to fight was burning like a flame.
He felt his blood flowing faster in his veins, and the sound of his heartbeat became stronger.
“Dimension superposition!” Lin Qifan muttered in his heart, and the system interface instantly unfolded before his eyes.
The interface emits a soft blue light, and the various data and icons on it flicker, like a mysterious universe.
This is his most powerful skill, which can combine the abilities of summoned characters from two different dimensions to create infinite possibilities.
Today, he decided to take a gamble!
Lin Qifan and Li Yaxuan rode in an ancient magic carriage to the competition venue.
The carriage was driving on the winding road, the sound of the wheels rolling was “gurgling”, and the scenery outside the window passed by quickly.
They gradually recovered from the tense atmosphere of the secret warning, and their mood became more complicated as they got closer to the competition venue.
The competition venue was set up in a huge open-air square, which was packed with people and bustling with activity.
The square is surrounded by towering magic towers, with colorful lights flashing on the tops, as if they are giants guarding the game.
Colorful flags are flying in the square, and the colorful flags are rustling in the breeze, making crisp sounds.
Summoners from all walks of life, with their partners, are ready to give it a try.
Their figures intertwined in the sunlight, forming a lively picture.
The air is filled with all kinds of exotic aromas, including the aroma of barbecue, the sweet fragrance of fruits, and the rich taste of spices, which makes people salivate.
A mysterious man wearing a gorgeous chef’s robe and a tall chef’s hat slowly walked up to the stage.
His steps were steady and powerful, and every step seemed to step on people’s hearts.
He exuded a suffocating aura, like a cold winter wind blowing on people’s faces.
He was none other than the mysterious judge who had appeared earlier.
“Welcome everyone to the ‘Cooking Competition’ of the ‘Food Tribunal’!” The presiding judge’s voice was loud and majestic, echoing in the square like an oracle.
His voice was like rolling thunder, making people’s ears buzz.
“The rules of this competition are very simple, which is…”
Lin Qifan didn’t listen carefully. He had already expected that there must be hidden secrets in the so-called competition rules. Instead of passively accepting them, it would be better to adapt to the situation.
While listening attentively, he secretly observed the contestants around him, trying to find the green tea hidden in the crowd.
His eyes were like those of an eagle, scanning the crowd.
“Yaxuan, who do you think will be the biggest threat in this competition?” Lin Qifan asked in a low voice.
His voice was so soft that only Li Yaxuan could hear it.
Li Yaxuan’s beautiful eyes moved as she carefully looked at the contestants around her.
Her eyes are like bright stars, sparkling with wisdom.
After a moment of silence, he said, “That green tea girl must be guarded against. And that muscular man, his partner seems to be an ancient fierce beast, whose strength should not be underestimated.”
“Well, great minds think alike.” Lin Qifan nodded slightly, already having a plan in mind.
Finally, it was Lin Qifan’s turn to present their dishes.
“Next, please welcome the ‘Music and Food Team’ to the stage!” The presiding judge’s voice sounded again.
The sound echoed in the square, as if urging them on.
Lin Qifan took Li Yaxuan and Brooke and walked onto the competition stage leisurely.
Their steps were light and confident, as if they were stars on the stage.
“Yo-ho-ho! Ladies and gentlemen! Let the music crown the food!” Skeleton Brook bowed gracefully, and a gorgeous violin appeared in his hand.
The violin shone with golden light in the sunlight, and the strings made a buzzing sound as if they were warming up.
Cheerful jazz music sounded in the square, and the melodious melody flowed in people’s hearts like a cheerful stream.
While playing, Brook began making his “Jazz Roast Chicken”.
As the music plays, the roast chicken rotates on the grill, the golden fat sizzles, making an enticing “sizzling” sound and emitting a rich aroma.
The fragrance is like an invisible silk thread, lingering around people’s noses, making people swallow their saliva.
“The King of Soul! Brook!” Lin Qifan was beating the rhythm and shaking his head, as if he was in a grand concert.
His body swayed to the rhythm of the music and his hands waved in the air.
Li Yaxuan silently assisted Brooke on the side.
Her movements were skillful and neat, and her eyes were focused on the roast chicken.
As the music progresses, the color of the roast chicken gradually becomes golden and crispy, the skin has an attractive luster, and the aroma becomes more and more intense, making people salivate.
The audience at the scene seemed to be immersed in a fantasy world of delicious food, and each of them was intoxicated and obsessed with it.
There was excitement in their eyes and satisfied smiles on their faces.
“It’s so delicious! This is simply the most delicious food in the world!”
“I’ve never had roast chicken so delicious!”
“This music and this roast chicken are a perfect match!”
The audience’s exclamations rose one after another, like waves.
Even the usually harsh judges nodded in praise.
Their eyes revealed recognition and appreciation, and the corners of their mouths rose slightly.
Green Tea, who was hiding in the crowd, saw this scene and gnashed her teeth in anger.
Her teeth were chattering and her hands were clenched into fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.
“Damn Lin Qifan, he actually let him steal the limelight again!” She secretly did bad things and tried to interfere with the game, but was resolved one by one by Lin Qifan.
Lin Qifan glanced at Green Tea coldly and said, “You have such a trivial skill, and you dare to show off your skills in front of an expert.” His eyes were like an icy sharp blade, which made Green Tea shiver.
At this moment, the chief judge suddenly said, “The first round of the competition is over. The ‘Music and Food Team’…” He paused and looked at Lin Qifan deeply, “Successfully advanced!”
Lin Qifan smiled slightly, everything was under control.
His smile was confident and calm, as if he had already anticipated the outcome of the game.
He turned around and said to Li Yaxuan and Brooke, “Let’s go celebrate!”
However, just as they turned to leave, the presiding judge’s voice sounded again, with a hint of weirdness in his tone: “However…” The presiding judge’s meaningful “however” was like a bolt from the blue, silencing the entire audience.
Lin Qifan’s foot just took a step forward, but it stopped abruptly in mid-air, and an ominous premonition arose.
He felt his heartbeat suddenly quicken, as if an invisible hand had grabbed his heart.
“The second round will adopt the ‘blind box of ingredients’ model,” the chief judge announced slowly, with a playful smile on his face. “Each contestant will randomly draw ingredients and use them to make a dish that satisfies the judges within an hour. Remember, the ingredients can be anything, including… um, some unexpected ‘surprises’!”
As soon as the words fell, the square exploded.
“Blind box of ingredients? This is too exciting!” “This is not a cooking competition, it’s simply a blind box battle!” “I feel like what I drew might be a biochemical weapon in the dark cooking world!”
Lin Qifan raised his eyebrows, thinking that this “Food Tribunal” really didn’t play by the rules.
He began to review the successful experience of the first round of competition, thinking about how to use these experiences to deal with the unknown challenges of the second round.
He recalled the perfect combination of Brook’s music and roast chicken, and how he improvised to resolve the interference of green tea.
He understands that in the second round, he will need to use his skills and wisdom more flexibly.
He turned to look at Li Yaxuan, only to see that she also had a serious expression on her face.
Li Yaxuan’s brows were furrowed, and her eyes revealed worry and nervousness.
Brooke remained optimistic, playing the violin and using cheerful music to ease the tense atmosphere.
“Captain, blind boxes and the like are the most exciting! Yo ho ho!”
Soon, the staff brought up a huge box filled with various blind boxes.
The box was made of solid magical wood and was engraved with mysterious runes that glowed faintly.
Lin Qifan took a deep breath, walked to the box, and reached out to feel around.
He could feel that there seemed to be a force guiding him.
His hand slid gently over the blind box, feeling the shape and texture of the blind box.
“Which one should I choose? How about this one!” Lin Qifan chose a blind box with a peculiar shape, weighed it, and felt it was quite heavy.
The blind box made a “dong dong” sound in his hands, as if there was something heavy inside.
“Music and Food Team, please open your blind boxes!” The presiding judge’s voice sounded again, with a hint of imperceptible expectation.
Lin Qifan no longer hesitated and tore open the blind box. Inside…
“Oh my god, what the hell is this?!” Lin Qifan was dumbfounded when he looked at the things in the blind box and couldn’t help but swear.
Li Yaxuan also showed an expression of disbelief and exclaimed: “How…how is this possible?!”
“Yo-ho-ho! Captain, it looks like we’re in trouble this time!” Although Brooke was still laughing, there was an obvious tremor in his voice.
“Haha, interesting, it’s getting more and more interesting…” Lin Qifan’s mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile.
He thought to himself: It seems that this time the “Dimension Traveler System” will be of great use…
Chapter 52 Red Hair Helps Tibetan Cuisine (Old Version)
Lin Qifan looked at the pile of strange things in the blind box, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Is this “Dimension Traveler System” intentional?
Is it all about the heartbeat?
“Oh my god, what the hell is this?!” He couldn’t help but swear.
There is no way, the contrast is too great. I felt that I was the chosen one in the last second, and was beaten back to my original form in the next second.
Li Yaxuan also covered her mouth, with a look of disbelief written all over her delicate face: “This… How is this possible?! What a mess…”
The soul fire on Brook’s skull seemed to dim a little. He was still smiling, but his voice was obviously trembling: “Yo ho ho! Captain, it looks like we are in trouble this time! I am afraid that even I can’t chew these things!”
Lin Qifan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.
He knew that now was not the time to complain. Since it had come, he should just accept it. Complaining was useless. He had to find a way to solve the problem.
The more difficult it is, the more it inspires his fighting spirit.
He thought to himself: It seems that this time the “Dimension Traveler System” will come in handy…
“System, activate the dimensional summoning for me!” Lin Qifan said silently in his heart.
The familiar feeling of dizziness came over him again, and a figure slowly appeared in front of him.
“Hey, kid, nice to see you again.” The man had his signature red hair and a relaxed smile on his face. It was Red-Hair Shanks.
“Red hair?!” Lin Qifan’s eyes lit up. This was definitely a great assist!
“Captain, you actually summoned Red-Hair Shanks?!” Brook was so excited that the fire of his soul began to beat.
Li Yaxuan was also a little surprised, but she quickly regained her composure. She knew that Lin Qifan could always create miracles.
“Redhead, I’m going to trouble you again this time.” Lin Qifan said straight to the point, “We need a special ingredient. I wonder if you can get it?”
“Oh? What ingredients?” the red-haired man asked with interest.
Lin Qifan briefly described the characteristics of the ingredients. The red-haired man touched his chin after listening and said, “I seem to have heard of this ingredient you mentioned. It’s called ‘Ancient Sea Emperor Fish’. It is said to contain powerful energy and is the food of the ancient sea emperor.”
“Ancient Sea Emperor Fish?! Is there really such a thing?” Lin Qifan asked excitedly.
“Of course, but this fish is very rare and hard to find.” The redhead shrugged, “However, if you are willing to pay enough, I can help you find it.”
“Price? What price?” Lin Qifan asked.
The redhead grinned, revealing his white teeth: “You can pick any of my treasures!”
Lin Qifan took a breath of cold air, this was too big a deal!
Red Hair’s treasure, that must be a treasure of inestimable value! “This… How can I be so embarrassed?” Lin Qifan pretended to refuse, but he was actually very happy in his heart.
“Haha, it doesn’t matter. Those things are of no use to me anyway.” The red-haired man said generously, “As long as I can help you, I will be very happy.”
“Then I won’t be polite!” Lin Qifan stopped being pretentious and said directly, “I need to get the ‘Ancient Sea Emperor Fish’ as ​​soon as possible, please!”
“No problem, leave it to me!” The red-haired man patted his chest and said confidently.
After the red-haired man left, Lin Qifan couldn’t calm down for a long time.
With the “Ancient Sea Emperor Fish”, he has hope of winning!
Next, he and Li Yaxuan worked together to study the cooking methods of “ancient sea emperor fish”.
The fish is a mysterious blue all over and emits a faint glow, which makes people’s appetite increase just by looking at it.
“This fish contains powerful energy. If it is not cooked properly, it may backfire.” Li Yaxuan said seriously, “We need to find a way to perfectly release its energy.”
Lin Qifan nodded, he knew that cooking such special ingredients required great care.
They tried various cooking methods, steaming, boiling, frying, baking… but none of them could perfectly bring out the deliciousness of the “ancient sea emperor fish”.
“No, none of these methods work.” Lin Qifan said a little frustrated, “We have to find a completely new way of cooking.”
Just when they were at a loss, Li Yaxuan suddenly said, “Qifan, do you remember the stone tablet we found in the ancient ruins before? It seems to record a special cooking method.”
Lin Qifan’s eyes lit up. How could he have forgotten about this?
They quickly found the stone slab and studied it carefully.
The cooking methods recorded on the stone tablets are very complicated, requiring the use of various rare spices and special utensils.
“This method… seems a bit difficult.” Lin Qifan said with a frown.
“Yes, and we don’t have the spices and utensils right now.” Li Yaxuan sighed.
“It’s okay, we can find a way.” Lin Qifan said firmly, “As long as we work together, we can definitely overcome the difficulties.”
They began to look around for the spices and utensils recorded on the stone tablets.
Li Yaxuan used her noble connections to inquire about various information, while Lin Qifan used the “Dimension Traveler System” to find a substitute.
While they were trying hard to search, the situation on Erza’s side was not good.
She was controlled by Green Tea and had to follow Green Tea’s instructions to disrupt the competition.
But deep down in her heart, Erza is still loyal to Lin Qifan, and she is always looking for opportunities to pass information to Lin Qifan.
“Lin Qifan, be careful of Green Tea, he…he wants to…” Erza secretly conveyed a message to Lin Qifan by chance.
Although the information was incomplete, Lin Qifan still understood what Erza meant.
“Green Tea has no good intentions indeed!” Lin Qifan thought to himself, and he became more determined to defeat Green Tea.
After some effort, Lin Qifan and Li Yaxuan finally found the spices and utensils recorded on the stone slab.
They carefully cooked the “Ancient Sea Emperor Fish” according to the instructions on the stone slab.
As time went by, a rich aroma began to spread.
The fragrance is full of mysterious atmosphere, which makes people intoxicated.
“Success!” Lin Qifan said excitedly.
They served the cooked “Ancient Sea Emperor Fish” to the competition table.
When the judges tasted the dish, they were all conquered by its deliciousness.
“This… this is simply a delicacy!” said a judge excitedly.
“I have never tasted such delicious food!” another judge also praised it.
Even the presiding judge, who was always serious and fair, showed a satisfied smile on his face.
“This dish is perfect!” the chief judge announced, “The Music and Food Team is in the lead for now!”
Lin Qifan and others amazed the audience with the hidden dishes they made with “Ancient Sea Emperor Fish” and temporarily took the lead in the competition.
Just when everyone thought everything was going well, Green Tea suddenly came out with a sinister smile on her face: “Haha, it seems that you are quite capable… But the game has just begun…”
Green Tea has a harmless smile on her face, but it makes people feel cold on their backs. It feels like eating mint-flavored arsenic, refreshing yet deadly.
“Oh my, the competition is so intense, how can it be less exciting?” he said, snapping his fingers.
Suddenly, the competition venue began to shake violently, the lights above head flickered, there was a “sizzling” sound of electricity, and a burning smell spread.
“Shit, what’s going on?” Lin Qifan subconsciously protected Li Yaxuan, feeling the ground shaking, his heart in his throat.
Brooke’s bones crackled and the fire of his soul flickered: “Yo ha ha, looks like this is getting serious!” Li Yaxuan clutched Lin Qifan’s sleeve tightly, her face a little pale, but her eyes were firm, without a trace of panic.
“Qifan, be careful!” she reminded in a low voice.
Red-haired Shanks frowned, and a domineering aura was unconsciously released, intimidating the minions around him who were ready to make a move.
“Hmph, a mere trifle!” He snorted coldly, and a long knife appeared in his hand, the blade flashing with cold light.
At this moment, the screen in the center of the arena suddenly lit up, and Green Tea’s annoying face appeared on the screen, and he said in a sarcastic tone: “Dear contestants, the competition has now been upgraded! Various “surprises” have been randomly placed in the venue, I wish you good luck! Oh, by the way, a friendly reminder, some “surprises” can be fatal! Hahaha…” Green Tea on the screen was laughing so hard that his body was shaking, and his arrogant look made people want to rush up and punch him.
“I can’t afford to play with this green tea!” Lin Qifan gritted his teeth and felt a nameless fire rising from the bottom of his heart.
Before anyone could react, the walls around the arena suddenly opened, and a group of bizarre monsters rushed out roaring, with a foul smell that filled the air.
“Oh my god, is this such a big deal?!” Lin Qifan couldn’t help but swear as he looked at those monsters with bared fangs and claws.
Red-haired Shanks’ eyes flashed: “Boy, protect them!” After that, he jumped up and rushed towards the group of monsters waving his sword.
Swords flashed and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Suddenly, Red-Haired Shanks paused, and turned back to look at Lin Qifan, his eyes full of disbelief, “Boy, be careful…”
Chapter 53: Time-Space Cuisine Battle against Strong Enemies (Old Version)
Before he could finish his words, a monster attacked Lin Qifan. At the critical moment, Lin Qifan activated his mysterious ability, and a bright light shone around him, which actually repelled the monster. Taking this opportunity, he calmed down and shouted loudly, “Time and space cuisine, start!” Before the game started, he met Red-haired Shanks in a corner of the stadium.
“Space-time cuisine, start!” Lin Qifan’s voice was unusually clear in the chaotic arena, with an unquestionable domineering aura.
The sound was like a sharp sword, piercing through the noisy shouts and collisions in the stadium and exploding in everyone’s ears.
His eyes were as sharp as torches, as if they could see through all illusions and reach the other side of victory.
That gaze was like a burning flame, bright and hot, as if it could dispel all the haze around it.
Before the game started, in a corner of the stadium, Lin Qifan accidentally met Red-Haired Shanks.
Shanks saw the concentration and confidence that Lin Qifan displayed when preparing food and was attracted by his unique temperament.
Shanks took the initiative to approach and talk to them, expressing his interest in the cooking competition. He also mentioned that although he was good at knife skills, he also had unique insights into food.
Lin Qifan thought Shanks was an interesting person, and the two got along very well. Shanks then decided to stand on Lin Qifan’s side in the game and help him.
He is not some hot-blooded fool who likes to fight and win by brute force?
Doesn’t exist!
This is a cooking competition, it’s all about strategy and skills!
Is that Green Tea guy trying to play dirty?
Sorry, but he has a dirty mind when it comes to tactics!
A rich aroma began to permeate the stadium, like an invisible barrier that kept the noise and blood out.
The fragrance was like soft smoke, penetrating into everyone’s nostrils.
This fragrance is fresh, mellow, and has a hint of mysterious oriental charm. It makes people want to take a deep breath and explore the secret behind this fragrance.
Close your eyes and you can seem to see an oriental forest shrouded in mist, with flowers and plants in the forest emitting a unique fragrance.
Li Yaxuan stood beside Lin Qifan, her slender fingers dancing flexibly, putting various ingredients into a peculiarly shaped pot in a specific order.
Her fingers were like nimble butterflies, flitting among the ingredients.
Her graceful movements were like playing a beautiful piece of music. The sound of the ingredients falling into the pot was crisp and pleasant, like the notes in the music, perfectly complementing Lin Qifan’s calmness.
“Do you remember the first time we cooked?” Li Yaxuan’s voice was soft, as if she was afraid to disturb this rare tranquility.
The voice was like a breeze blowing past my ears, with a hint of tenderness and sweetness.
Lin Qifan’s mouth corners slightly raised, “
“Hey! Stop bringing up irrelevant issues!” Li Yaxuan glared at Lin Qifan in feigned anger, but she couldn’t hide the smile in her eyes.
The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
The tacit understanding between them has long surpassed the limits of language; they can understand each other with just a glance or a gesture.
As the “Time and Space Cooking” progressed, the scene on the field began to change.
The originally chaotic scene gradually blurred, and was replaced by a peaceful pastoral scenery.
Before my eyes is a golden wheat field. As the breeze blows, the wheat waves roll and make rustling sounds, as if nature is playing a harmonious piece of music.
Colorful flowers bloom by the fields, butterflies dance among the flowers, birds sing happily on the branches, and the breeze blows on your face, bringing the fragrance of soil and the scent of flowers and plants, making you feel as if you are in a paradise.
Erza, who was controlled by green tea, originally had empty eyes and mechanical movements, but after smelling this strange fragrance, her body began to tremble slightly.
The fragrance was like a gentle hand, gently touching her soul.
Her frown gradually relaxed.
“I… who am I… what am I doing…” Erza’s voice was intermittent and full of confusion.
The voice was faint and trembling, as if it came from far away.
After Erza broke free from control, she slowly walked towards Lin Qifan and others.
She made eye contact with Lin Qifan, who gave her a trusting look and nodded slightly.
Erza understood and simply said: “I’ll follow your arrangements.” Lin Qifan quickly discussed tactics with her. They decided that Erza and Red-haired Shanks would attack Green Tea from both sides, while he and Li Yaxuan would continue to consolidate the effect of “Space-Time Cuisine”.
“Shut up! Keep attacking!” Green Tea screamed hysterically, the scepter in her hand flashing with strange light, trying to strengthen her control over Erza.
The roar was like thunder, shaking the surrounding air. The light on the scepter was like a ball of evil fire, twisted and hideous.
However, this fragrance seemed to have magical power, constantly impacting Erza’s consciousness, allowing her to gradually regain clarity.
“No! I don’t want to be controlled by you anymore!” Erza roared, breaking free from Green Tea’s control, pointing the sword in her hand directly at Green Tea, “I will pay for my actions!” The roar was full of strength and determination, and the sword flashed coldly in the sun, as if echoing her anger.
The joining of Erza undoubtedly injected powerful strength into Lin Qifan’s side.
Her sharp swordsmanship was as fast and accurate as lightning. Combined with the domineering swordsmanship of Red-Haired Shanks, Shanks’s sword was swung, bringing up a gust of wind, completely destroying Green Tea’s offensive.
In the food fantasy, the judges have already been immersed in the ocean of delicious food.
They tasted delicacies from different times and regions, with happy smiles on their faces.
Those delicacies are colorful and of various shapes. Some are like exquisite works of art, exuding an attractive luster.
“This… this is simply a delicacy!”
“I’ve never felt anything so amazing!”
“This is real food!”
The judges’ exclamations continued, but Green Tea’s expression became more and more ugly.
He originally thought he had a sure win, but he didn’t expect to be completely reversed by Lin Qifan’s “Time and Space Cuisine”.
“Damn it! This is impossible!” Green Tea roared unwillingly, waving the scepter in her hand more frantically, trying to break the illusion of delicious food.
The scepter danced wildly in his hand, bringing up black air currents that seemed to tear the entire illusion apart.
However, it was all in vain.
“It’s over, Green Tea.” Lin Qifan’s voice was calm and indifferent, but it carried an irresistible force.
The sound was like a steady bell, announcing the end of the battle.
Just when Lin Qifan and others were about to win, the presiding judge who had been silent suddenly stood up. He slowly raised the scepter in his hand and muttered something… The presiding judge’s poker face finally cracked, revealing a weird smile that made people feel creepy.
That smile was like a ghost in the dark, making people shudder.
He raised the jewel-encrusted scepter and began to mutter something in a tone that sounded like some evil spell, making people feel as if they had accidentally walked into some dark ritual in the Middle Ages.
The spell sounded low and eerie, like a call from hell, and every syllable carried a powerful magical power.
The air suddenly became sticky, like a huge piece of jelly, making it difficult to breathe.
Every time you breathe, it feels like an invisible force is pulling at your lungs, making you feel suffocated.
Strange symbols began to appear in the sky above the stadium. Those symbols flashed ominous lights, like a pair of evil eyes, staring at everything below, just like the special effects before the boss in the game used his ultimate move.
“What the hell is this?” Lu Yifei widened his eyes and felt like he was back on the Grand Line, except this time he was not facing a sea monster, but something even more terrifying.
There was surprise and fear in his voice, and panic in his eyes.
The food illusion began to crumble. Those delicacies that had once made people salivate became blurry and emitted a disgusting smell of corruption.
The smell was like that of a rotting corpse, pungent and unpleasant, making people want to vomit.
The judges were also awakened from their intoxication with delicious food, their faces filled with fear and anxiety, as if they had just experienced a nightmare.
Li Yaxuan held Lin Qifan’s hand tightly, and felt a chill on her fingertips.
Her hands were shaking constantly, and she could feel that an unprecedented crisis was approaching, as if something beyond their cognition was about to happen.
A crazy smile appeared on Green Tea’s originally desperate face again.
“Hahaha, do you think you won? You are too naive! The presiding judge is the real controller, and you will all submit to his power!” The laughter was sharp and piercing, as if it could penetrate people’s eardrums.
The presiding judge stopped chanting and raised his head. His eyes were empty and cold, like a puppet without a soul.
He slowly turned his head and said in an extremely slow and strange tone: “The game… is over…” The tone seemed to come from another world and it made people feel creepy.
Lin Qifan looked at the presiding judge, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: “It seems that we have to finish work early…”
At this moment, a powerful energy wave suddenly burst out from the scepter in the judge’s hand. This energy swept around like a surging tide.
Lin Qifan and others were forced to retreat again and again by the impact of this energy, and their bodies felt as if they were pierced by countless needles.
The ground on the playing field began to crack, and huge cracks continued to spread like hideous wounds.
Green Tea laughed wildly at the side, his laughter was full of pride and ridicule: “Hahaha, just wait to be crushed by the power of the Chief Judge! This Chief Judge possesses an ancient and mysterious power. His magic can control time and space. You can’t resist it at all!”
Erza tightly gripped the sword in her hand and said with a firm look in her eyes: “No matter how powerful he is, we can’t give up!” Although her voice was a little trembling, it was full of determination.
Red-haired Shanks also nodded, holding the sword across his body, ready to fight at any time.
The presiding judge raised the scepter again and began to chant the spell.
This time the spell was louder and more eerie than before, as if the whole world was trembling with his spell.
The symbols above the stadium became denser and the light became more dazzling, forming a huge vortex that seemed to swallow everything.
Suddenly, a huge black arm stretched out from the whirlpool. The arm was covered with scales and exuded a terrifying aura.
It slapped Lin Qifan and the others hard, and the powerful force made the surrounding air make a sharp whistling sound.
Lin Qifan and the others quickly dispersed and dodged. The arm hit the ground heavily, splashing a cloud of dust. Li Yaxuan looked at this horrific scene, her heart full of worry: “Qifan, what should we do? The power of this judge is too strong!” Lin Qifan took a deep breath and said: “Don’t panic, let’s observe his attack pattern first and find his weakness.”
The presiding judge sneered and said, “Do you think you can find my weakness? Too naive! Today, you will all die here!” As he said that, he controlled the black arm again and attacked Lin Qifan and others.
This time, the arm’s attack was even more powerful, so fast that it was almost impossible to see clearly.
Erza swung her sword, trying to block the attack of the arm, but the arm was too powerful and she was knocked back repeatedly.
Red-haired Shanks also joined the battle, his sword colliding with his arm, making a harsh metal friction sound.
However, their attacks didn’t seem to cause much damage to the arm.
Just when everyone was in trouble, Lin Qifan suddenly discovered that when the presiding judge controlled his arm to attack, a gem on the scepter flashed.
He had an idea that this gem might be the key to the Judge’s power.
Lin Qifan shouted loudly: “Everyone, pay attention, attack the gem on the presiding judge’s scepter!” When everyone heard his shout, they adjusted the direction of their attack and attacked the presiding judge’s scepter.
The Inquisitor seemed to be aware of their intention. He increased the intensity of his chanting of the spell, and the black arm became even larger and the attack became more violent.
For a moment, Lin Qifan and others were overwhelmed and could not breathe.
At this moment, Li Yaxuan suddenly thought of “time and space cuisine”.
She said: “Qifan, we can use the power of ‘Time and Space Cuisine’ to fight him!” Lin Qifan nodded and said: “Okay, let’s activate ‘Time and Space Cuisine’ again!”
The two quickly returned to the pot of “Space-Time Cuisine” and started making the dish again.
The rich aroma filled the stadium again. This time the aroma was richer and mellower than before, as if it contained infinite power.
As the aroma spread, the scene on the field began to change.
The stadium, which was originally shrouded in darkness, gradually saw a glimmer of light.
The light spread gradually like a spark, dispelling the darkness bit by bit.
The Chief Judge felt the power of “Time and Space Cuisine” and roared angrily: “No! How can you still activate “Time and Space Cuisine”! ” He increased the output of magic, trying to stop the power of “Time and Space Cuisine”.
However, the power of “Time and Space Cuisine” is growing stronger and stronger.
The fragrance was like an invisible sword, piercing through the Judge’s magic barrier and stabbing at the gem on his scepter.
The gem began to flicker and the judge’s body began to shake.
Lin Qifan and others saw hope, and they attacked the presiding judge’s scepter even harder.
Finally, under the joint attack of everyone, the gem on the scepter was shattered.
The judge let out a scream, his magic disappeared instantly, and the black arm collapsed.
When Green Tea saw this scene, his eyes widened in horror: “No! This is impossible! How could the Chief Judge fail!” He turned around and wanted to escape, but was blocked by Erza’s sword.
“Do you think you can escape?” Erza said coldly.
Green Tea collapsed to the ground in despair, knowing that he had completely failed this time.
The judge fell to the ground, but this is not the end, there is a more powerful force waiting for you…” After saying this, he fainted.
Lin Qifan and others finally breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that although they had defeated the presiding judge and Green Tea this time, the road ahead was still full of challenges.
The food fantasy returned to its original beauty, and the judges recovered from their shock.
They looked at Lin Qifan and others.
“Your ‘Time and Space Cuisine’ is amazing. Not only is it delicious, it also has such powerful power!” said one of the judges.
Lin Qifan smiled and said: “Thank you for your compliments, we will continue to work hard to create more delicious dishes.”
There was warm applause in the competition arena. Lin Qifan and others successfully defeated their strong opponents and won the victory in this fierce cooking competition.
But they know that this is just the beginning and there will be more challenges waiting for them in the future…
