Chen Lin was wondering why all the guardians were children, but the adult guardian on the stage had already eaten the whole basket of buns.
On the other side, the nine judges each got a bun and started tasting it.
"Comfortable!"
The guardian finished eating the bun, looking very satisfied.
Then he shook his head and said, "Although the effect is a little worse, it can be improved by one star for being able to make extraordinary ingredients into an ordinary artistic conception that can only be produced by ordinary ingredients, so this delicacy deserves a four-star rating."
After saying that, he looked at the nine judges and asked, "What do you think?"
The judges finished eating the buns and nodded after tasting them.
The big-mouthed fur ball said, "The guardian is right. If it were just the effect of this bun, it would only be three stars. But with the taste of the extraordinary ingredients, the level can be increased by one star. Moreover, the filling of this bun is the specialty of the Duyun Lake, the plum blossom colored wing shrimp, which is even more valuable!"
Chen Lin below was slightly stunned when he heard this.
I didn't expect that this big-mouthed fur ball actually knew about Duyun Lake. It seemed that the other judges also knew about it. Duyun Lake is quite famous in the demon world.
The guardian looked at the distant sea and sighed, "Gambling Luck Lake, a place that so many people love and hate. There is also the Man-eating Flower Valley, the Samsara Tree that determines life and death with a single thought, and the Lucky Roulette where everything is determined by fate. It really makes people miss it! I don't know if the Guardian of Luck is still here. When will this world be able to recover!"
Although his voice was not loud, Chen Lin was not far away from the stage and could still hear it clearly. All kinds of thoughts kept emerging in his mind.
The Samsara Tree that the other party was talking about was most likely the withered giant tree with many things hanging on it that he saw when he explored other places in Duyun Lake.
He didn't dare to check it out rashly at that time, but he did the right thing. A single thought can determine life and death, which doesn't sound like a safe thing.
As for the lucky roulette, he didn't see it. It was probably on the other side of the Gambling Lake. The scene connected to the Gambling Lake was very large and he didn't see the boundary.
From the information spoken by this guardian, it can be confirmed that the entire Gambling Lake scene contains a lot of things, and they are all about gambling on luck. The owner should be the guardian of luck mentioned by the other party.
The golden toad really didn't lie. The other party was indeed just a manager, not the owner.
But the name "Guardian of Luck" made Chen Lin have some associations.
His innate ability is destiny, and luck and destiny are actually a series of rules. According to his understanding, the rules of destiny are higher than the rules of luck, but his understanding of the rules is still superficial and he cannot judge the specific situation.
It is also possible that the rules are not hierarchical.
But one thing is certain, the reason why he can be so successful in the gambling lake scene is because he has the talent of destiny, otherwise he would have died without leaving any trace.
Gambling on Luck Lake seems to be a gamble on luck, but in fact it is a gamble on fate. If you want to crack it, you can only change your fate.
Of course, in addition to destiny and talent, there is another thing that is also crucial, and that is Niu Niu's amulet.
Without the amulet, the golden toad would not be afraid of him. He had fished for the treasure chest several times, and his fate would surely be the same as that of the old man from the Mountain and Sea Realm.
He didn't think much of it before, but now thinking back, it seems that Niu Niu gave him the amulet with the purpose of targeting Duyun Lake, and the other party's inadvertent mention of liking to eat the plum-winged shrimps from Duyun Lake seems to be guiding him to go fishing in Duyun Lake.
At first he thought Niu Niu wanted him to go to Duyun Lake to obtain the Origin Ball to speed up the improvement of his talent. Now it seems that there may be other reasons.
"Not bad, reward!"
As Chen Lin's mind was churning with thoughts, the guardian on the stage suddenly spoke.
Immediately, the man in a tuxedo who was responsible for distributing rewards came over, took his identity token, changed it from three stars to four stars, and entered the reward points into it.
Under normal circumstances, offering four-star food can earn you 100,000 points. During the Food Festival, the reward amount has been raised to 500,000 points. Just now, the Food Guardian promised to double the reward, which means it will be one million points!
One million points!
Chen Lin felt like he was a little bit overwhelmed, as if a pie had fallen from the sky and hit him.
But he immediately calmed down. Although this number sounded like a lot, it was actually just the price of an Origin Ball.
As for other treasures, they were also given quite a lot.
The authority to exchange treasures in the treasury was given to one five-star one, the universal food voucher was also given to one five-star one, and there were two four-star ones. The authority to locate the teleportation token was given to three times, and so on.
Chen Lin was extremely surprised.
This reward has far exceeded his expectations, and even the five-star universal food voucher that Gege Yun asked for was obtained so easily!
But these are secondary. The most important reward is an invitation letter for a title mission!
The design of the invitation was very simple, it was a black folded card with the words "Title Invitation" written in large letters on the front and the same pattern as on the magic coins and passes on the back, representing that this item was transformed by the rules of the demon world.
When unfolded, there is a big "male" character inside.
Obviously, this is a baron invitation.
Seeing Chen Lin repeatedly checking the invitation letter, the guardian said, "This guardian always keeps his word. If I say double the reward, it means double the reward!"
After a pause, he continued, "This mission invitation is what you deserve. Even if I give you another one with double the reward, you won't be able to use it. So, I'll give you a token. After you activate it, you can summon me once, but it can only be used when completing the title mission. Otherwise, with your strength, it will be difficult for you to survive such a dangerous mission."
After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling Chen Lin to leave, then looked at the others and said loudly: "Who else wants to offer food? If not, this guardian will leave!"
With Chen Lin's exemplary effect, the others became eager and some immediately jumped out to respond.
"I am Zhao Dingshan from Longquan Realm, and I have come to offer delicious food to the Guardian!"
After getting approval, he excitedly entered the production hut.
A quarter of an hour later, two delicious dishes with fragrant aroma and tempting colors were ready and served.
But just when Zhao Dingshan was dreaming of getting the same generous reward as Chen Lin, he saw the guardian who had taken a bite of the food immediately spit it out and said, "Rubbish, it's an insult to my mouth. Take him away and make him do the hardest labor for a hundred years!"
No one expected the guardian's reaction to be so strong. Their faces changed drastically, and a few who were eager to try also put down their anger.
However, those who were truly confident were still not afraid. After a while, a handsome young man walked out of the crowd, bowed slightly to the guardian on the stage, turned and entered the production hut.
Soon, a tray was brought out with a teapot and ten teacups on it.
The delicious food offered by the other party turned out to be tea!
Chen Lin also showed an interested look.
Tea is so easy to make. All you have to do is make the tea. The brewing procedure is fixed. If it can be rated a star, it would be a perfect thing to use for opening a store.
If he wanted to open a shop, he would have to make his own dumplings, which would definitely take up a lot of time.
According to the store opening rules of Food Island, only if you declare this delicacy will you be allowed to write it on the menu and sell it. As long as it is written on the menu, you must be able to make this delicacy as long as your store is open.
In other words, if someone uses a food voucher to enter the store, they must order something on the menu, otherwise they will be severely punished.
Therefore, if he does not want to restrict his freedom, if he opens a shop, he should either not sell this Xinling Baozi, or open at irregular hours like other high-end shops.
Another option is not to put the Heart-warming Buns on the menu, but only use Drunken God Brew and Red Dust Jade Dew. However, this would only allow for three-star stores, and the cost of both items is very expensive, with very low profits.
While I was thinking, the tasting on the stage was already completed.
The guardian said nothing, but drank the whole cup of tea without getting angry.
The nine judges finished their tea in turn. Jin Zun Hou spoke first, saying, "Not bad, it has a good color, aroma and taste, and can affect the mental thoughts that are the most difficult to strengthen with external objects. Although the effect is a bit poor, it can still be rated three stars!"
"agree!"
"agree!"
The remaining reviewers unanimously approved.
Finally, the guardian nodded and said, "There aren't many delicacies that can strengthen the mind, so giving it three stars is not too much. That's it, reward!"
As soon as the guardian spoke, the person in charge in tuxedos immediately presented a number of rewards, which made the elegant young man unable to maintain his composure and started grinning.
Chen Lin's eyes flickered.
He suspected that the spiritual thoughts these demonic creatures spoke of were the cultivators' true intentions!
The so-called true meaning is the external manifestation of spiritual beliefs, which is the infinite amplification of one's own confidence and then undergoes a qualitative change from the invisible to the visible.
For example, the spear intent mastered by the Silver Fairy and the sword intent mastered by Xiaocao are both applications of this ability.
He used to think that the so-called "intention" was also a kind of Tao, but as his horizons broadened, he realized that there was a difference between the two. Tao was the understanding of one's own existence, while intention was an affirmation of one's own behavior.
If we talk from the perspective of a cultivator, the realm of Tao must be higher than intention, because Tao is the beginning of everything. All the efforts and struggles of a cultivator are ultimately to find his own Tao and eventually achieve enlightenment!
But this is not necessarily the case for other cultivation systems.
There are countless systems of spiritual practice in this world, and there are also many systems that can utilize the power of spiritual beliefs. Perhaps in other systems, spiritual beliefs are the beginning of everything.
But no matter what, something that can temper spiritual beliefs must be extraordinary. He has been searching for it but has never been able to find it.
I didn’t expect to meet him here!
Chen Lin felt that he had to find the other party later to see if he could trade some tea for him. Such a good thing should not be missed.
