"How big is a whole source?"
After hearing the feathered man's explanation, Chen Lin clenched his fist and gestured, "Is it as big as my fist?"
"have!"
The feathered man nodded.
He further explained: "It is very solid and absolutely fair to all!"
Seeing the other party's firm tone, Chen Lin did not question it anymore. The purity of the Origin Ball he obtained could not be compared, but the size was definitely not as big as the other party said. It seemed that the high price was justified and attractive enough.
He was very tempted, but unfortunately he couldn't afford it.
After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Is there a stone for asking questions here?"
"have!"
The feathered man gave an affirmative answer again.
Chen Lin was secretly shocked. No wonder the other party kept saying that there were many treasures in the treasury of Food Island. He was not bragging. There was even a Question Stone.
"The Dao Stone is a four-star treasure, and you don't have enough authority."
Without waiting for Chen Lin to ask, the feathered man explained, "Okay, your three free inquiries have been used up. If you want to ask again, you will have to pay one magic coin each time!"
Chen Lin opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Even this has to be charged. The guardians of the Food Island must be obsessed with money!
Of course, he didn't dare say such words, nor did he show it at all. The guardian's ability was unfathomable. If the other party could sense his emotions, it would be bad.
Moreover, he suspected that this rule was not set by the guardian at all, but was imposed by the feathered man himself because he found it troublesome.
But no matter what, restrictions are restrictions and he can only abide by them.
He didn't have any special treasures to exchange now, and the two-star authority couldn't be exchanged for anything good, so he got up and said goodbye and left.
"My Lord, you are back. Is the divine snail shell useful?"
As soon as he arrived at the market, he met Xuewa, who had a happy look on his face and was flying around him and asking questions.
“It works very well.”
Chen Lin smiled and asked, "Why are you so happy? Did you find some delicious food again?"
Xuewa's expression fell, and he stopped and said, "No, the delicacies I can get are already taken by others. The gourmet recipes in the Explorers Association are all sold at horrific prices. I can't afford them."
Then he continued, "But my explorer status has been upgraded to a higher level. I will be able to participate in higher-level discussions, get more information, and trade for better treasures. A former master also wants to invest in me and let me open a store here!"
Xuewa's expression became excited, and he became happier as he talked, and he couldn't hide the smile on his little face.
"Congratulations, our Snow Baby Boss!"
Chen Lin congratulated with a smile.
He did not ask the other party to invest in him, nor did he ask the other party to become his subordinate.
The other party and he are not in the same cultivation system, so he cannot give any guidance. Moreover, the best way is for the other party to find strong support in this interface. Not only can he get help in the demon world, but he can also be protected in the other party's interface. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"Thank you, sir. When will you open a store? Then Xuewa's store will be built next to yours!"
Xuewa thanked him repeatedly and started chattering again.
The two of them chatted with each other as they moved through the crowd, occasionally looking for some materials at the stalls in the market.
No words were spoken that night.
The next morning, the unfinished parts of the food festival continued as scheduled.
The food guardian still hasn't shown up, and no one knows when or whether he will show up, but everyone's main enthusiasm is to get the rewards, and seeing the guardian is secondary. Although they are a little disappointed, they immediately focus their attention on the contestants.
Because new people have joined, we need to draw numbers again.
What made Chen Lin depressed was that for some reason, each person only had one chance to draw a number this time. He had originally thought that in addition to the soul-warming buns, he could choose another delicacy to participate, but now he had no chance.
But I didn’t have much hope for those gourmet recipes, so it doesn’t matter.
Chen Lin drew number 54, which was relatively early, but he definitely wouldn't be able to get in line in the morning, so he and Xuewa watched from the outside, discussing the matter of opening a store from time to time.
The first group was wiped out.
The second group produced only one one-star, and the third group was also wiped out.
Among the thirty contestants, only one's food was qualified, and that was at the lowest level. This result was even worse than ten days ago.
Chen Lin discovered that the nine judges all looked unhappy and seemed a little anxious.
This made him more and more suspicious, wondering if there was some problem with the Food Guardian that could only be solved with high-end food, otherwise there would not be so many temporary increases in rewards.
"From now on, the rewards for those who succeed will be doubled, and the punishment for the losers will be to work for a hundred years on the Food Island. If you are not sure you can reach the star level, don't participate!"
Just as the fourth group was about to start verifying the license plates, a voice with a strange texture sounded, and then the space shook, and a short old man with a haggard face, gray hair, but wearing an exquisite golden tuxedo appeared at the identification table.
The nine review members immediately stood up, and all the staff on and off the stage bowed in unison.
"Greetings, Lord Guardian!"
The voices were so uniform and loud that everyone on the island turned their eyes over.
The people below were even more silent.
This guardian is quite mysterious. Even most of the gourmets who opened shops here have never seen his true face.
"Greetings, Lord Guardian!"
One of the contestants in the audience was the first to greet, and the others hurriedly followed.
Regardless of whether it was sincere or not, after all, they were on someone else's territory, so they still had to maintain the right attitude. However, the other party's appearance and aura were far from the image of the guardian in their hearts, and many people looked disappointed.
Chen Lin didn't think there was anything wrong. Compared with Niu Niu's friends, this guardian was already very imposing, and he was in human form. Except for looking terminally ill and weak, everything else was normal.
The only distinctive feature of him was that he wore a very tall black top hat.
"Let's get started. There's no need to queue up. If you feel confident, start making your food right now and I'll taste it myself!"
The guardian waved his hand, and the textured voice sounded again.
Although he was very anxious, the contestants below looked at each other and no one stepped forward.
Because if you fail this time, there will be punishment, and the punishment is very severe. You will have to work here for a hundred years!
As a result, those who were just filling in the numbers did not dare to step forward, and those who were not absolutely sure were also very hesitant. Double reward was good, but it was not so easy to get.
"Why, no one?"
The guardian looked around and his voice sounded a little cold.
Every single person on the island felt a chill rising from their hearts that made their souls stiffen, and no matter what method they used, they could not get rid of it.
Chen Lin was extremely shocked. The power of this guardian was beyond his understanding!
But he did not panic. Instead, he looked around and when he saw that no one came forward, his eyes flashed and he walked out!
He doesn't like to be in the spotlight, but as long as the benefits are great enough, it's not impossible for him to change.
The other party, a guardian, could not suppress his anxiety, which showed how much he demanded star-level food.
Therefore, if you go out at this time and can serve a decent meal, in addition to the reward, you will definitely leave a good impression on the other party.
Although it is just an impression, it is very useful for him who wants to open a store on the island.
"Greetings, Lord Guardian. I have a collection of rare delicacies to offer to you!"
Chen Lin came to the stage and saluted with his fists clasped.
"Okay, then make it quickly and don't waste time!"
The guardian glanced at Chen Lin and urged him.
"yes!"
Chen Lin didn't say anything more. After responding, he walked into the nearest production hut.
In order to achieve better performance, he increased the production speed to the extreme. In less than fifteen minutes, two baskets of buns were ready.
"Please taste it, sir!"
Even though the guardian said he wanted to taste the buns himself, Chen Lin still made two baskets, one for the guardian and the other for the nine judges. In order to get enough points, each basket contained nine buns.
"Bring it up quickly!"
The guardian couldn't wait, and the tuxedoed staff next to him immediately brought one of the baskets of buns.
The guardian opened his mouth without any image and grabbed a bun and stuffed it in.
If this situation happened in the real world, I'm afraid all the cultivators would secretly laugh at the other party's popularity and lack of the demeanor of a strong person, but in the demon world, everyone thinks it is normal.
It is normal for the creatures in the demon world to be abnormal, and it is abnormal for the normal ones to be abnormal.
“Good, delicious!”
“It smells really good!”
After the guardian swallowed a bun, he immediately stuffed another one into his mouth, making an unclear sound.
This demeanor challenged the bottom line of the people below. It was nothing unusual for the creatures from the demon world to behave strangely, but the behavior of this stupid son of a landlord made it difficult to associate him with the guardian.
Chen Lin was also secretly suspicious, but what he suspected was not the other party's identity, but the other party's state.
He found that after eating two buns, his haggard and dying state seemed to have recovered, and even the wrinkles on his skin became less.
If you look at him again in this state, you will find that he is not really old. He just looks old because of his withered state. In fact, judging from his body shape and height, he should be a half-grown child!
This discovery made Chen Lin confused and puzzled.
Niu Niu is a child, and the other guardians in the Guardian’s Hut Village are also children. Now this guardian is still a child. Could it be that the guardians of the demon world cannot reach adulthood
Or were all the guardians sealed in some way, causing them to turn into children
The more Chen Lin thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
And the reason why Niu Niu grew up gradually was actually that she got rid of some of the seal!
