A black business car carrying several people drove towards Shuize City.
The scenes outside the window kept flashing by: towering buildings, passing vehicles and pedestrians; a series of prosperous and lively scenes kept appearing in Medesa's eyes.
A little surprised.
This was her first time to serve as an "envoy", but before taking on the position, Metissa had read many books related to the bordering world, heard many stories from "experienced old envoys", and received special pre-job training.
She had some idea in her mind of what a world that was mysteriously descended and corroded would look like.
However, this concept began to overturn here on Blue Star.
Outside the window, it is prosperous and peaceful. There seems to be little impact of the disaster. There is no haggardness or fear on people's faces. The towering tall buildings and the tools called cars that carry them all illustrate the extraordinary nature of this world.
However, the car only surprised her a little.
In Medesa's opinion, although cars are interesting, they are too fragile. She can smash them into pieces without using a sword, and they can only be driven on flat roads.
It's a neat but impractical gadget.
However, there was not a trace of evil influence in the whole city, which made her puzzled. It was different from what she had learned in the pre-job training.
At first, Medesa thought it was an isolated case and that this was the "royal capital". As the business car drove out of the city, she saw that the highway along the way was deserted, which was more in line with her common sense.
But when the vehicle drove into Shuize City, the capital of Shuize Province, this big city, which was several times more prosperous than Linshan City, once again overturned the common sense that Medissa had worked so hard to gather.
This is not mysterious!
Even if you are a hundred times stronger, you can't stop the disaster from spreading. How did Blue Star do it?!
"We are almost there. Our destination is on the mountain. It is an important base of our organization."
Shi Yunxi, who took on the guide mission, introduced.
Hearing this, Medesa looked up and saw the building shrouded in mist.
Pavilions, towers, flying eaves and brackets, this is an architectural style that is very different from their Sword Flower City. Medesa doesn't understand the ins and outs, but the beauty of art has always been universal. She just thinks it is exquisite and elegant.
Blue Star is indeed an elegant world.
"I'm looking forward to it," she said.
"You will be satisfied with today's dinner. Our Donghuang is known as a country of gourmet food~" Compared with Mei Disha, Shi Yunxi's interest was no less, "It is also thanks to you that we can have dinner with our instructor today ."
Anna nodded vigorously in agreement, "How lucky." In comparison, the mission points were completely unimportant. She would be willing to pay for them even if they cost her money.
Hearing this, Metissa was stunned. "Is it rare to have a meal with your mentor?"
She made a slight analogy.
If she wanted to dine with the dean, the chances were of course very slim, but if it was the vice-dean or the head of the teaching group, the chances would be quite good.
The image of a reclusive mentor gradually emerged in Medesa's mind.
She was thinking about how to approach such a person in order to impress him. How many times Jianhua City could win in this cooperation would depend on the dinner...dinner party that would be held later.
As for the meal itself? Of course it doesn't matter.
But since it was called a dinner party, she still had to eat something symbolically, hoping that the food in this world would be a little more to her taste.
…
The setting sun gradually sets in the west and finally gathers at one end of the mountain. The dim afterglow casts a layer of gauze over the buildings surrounded by clouds, making the restaurant in front of it even more exquisite.
The restaurant was formerly owned by the Blue Water Resort and was originally positioned as high-end. During several construction waves at the Shuize base, it also underwent some redecoration, adding some mysterious style to the original building.
Green vines spread over the grey brick walls, dotted with flowers, interweaving to form a flame pattern.
The restaurant's door was demolished and rebuilt. It is now four meters high, and even a tall and strong wizard like Mingdeng can enter normally, including some strange creatures.
The restaurant here is still too small. After all, it is limited by the scope of the base and the building itself and cannot be expanded much.
The newly built hotel at the Pacific Base takes into account various future situations and is determined to make guests feel at home.
Metissa really appreciated the restaurant owner's intentions.
The food in this world might be good.
The thought only flashed through her mind. What Madisa was most looking forward to and most nervous about was still the meeting with her tutor.
Soon she saw it.
A young figure in a white robe pushed the door open. He was different from the elegant old grandfather or the hermit she had imagined.
Some of them were, no, quite unexpected.
But when she met those eyes as bright as stars, Metissa's heart started pounding. She lowered her head as if to escape, then raised it again, "Master, hello... hello."
For some reason, she was a little nervous.
It's like facing a big shot like the dean.
Maybe it was because this was a non-human being with a higher status than himself, or maybe it was because the figure of the mentor was imprinted in people’s minds at a glance and could not be forgotten.
Medesa just hated her buzzing head and could hardly remember what she had prepared.
"Ms. Metis, please take a seat and try the specialties of our Blue Star."
"Thank you for your hospitality, sir."
She still remembered the etiquette and put her hand on her chest and bowed slightly to express her gratitude.
Unable to think of anything to say at this time, Medesa followed the custom of Blue Star and ate first. She found that there was an advantage to talking while eating. The pace was not so fast and she had enough time to think. It could also help her calm down her nervousness.
Breathe in
Calm down~!
Medesa muttered to herself.
At this time, the waiter also started to serve the dishes.
Facing outsiders, no, facing visitors from outside, these dishes are unfamiliar, but of course they couldn't bother the instructor to ask, so Shi Yunxi Xiaoshi introduced them to Medissa.
"This is a cold dish platter, poached chicken, and spicy black fungus."
"This is boiled fish, this is spicy crayfish, this is boiled cabbage, and there are also squirrel mandarin fish, Buddha jumps over the wall and so on."
Anna and Polly, two foreigners, only half understood it, not to mention Madame Medisa, an outsider.
She didn't understand the meaning of many of the dish names, and there were many ingredients she didn't recognize. Halfway through the introduction, Madisa became confused.
She hadn't expected the food on Blue Star to be so rich and diverse.
Moreover, these foods are exquisitely made and colorful. They look very appetizing and have tempting aromas.
Before she knew it, Metissa was beginning to feel a little excited.
She picked up the tableware called chopsticks - when in Rome, do as the Romans do. She believed that using the Blue Star people's dining utensils could effectively promote cooperation.
Chopsticks are a little strange to use, but that is not a problem for Medesa, an elite from the City of Sword Flowers and an expert in swordsmanship.
It only took Metissa a while to go from unfamiliar to familiar.
She instinctively used her extremely efficient learning efficiency, picked up the food, and put it into her mouth gracefully. Her eyes suddenly widened, and there were sparkling ripples in her eyes.
"Oh my god, this is such a delicious dish, it seems to elevate my soul!"
“Try this dish again.”
“It’s also extremely delicious.”
“Then try this dish.”
"Mmm delicious."
…
"tasty!"
…
“Super delicious!”
At first, Medesa used some elegant and gorgeous words to describe the delicious taste bursting in her mouth, but soon, she had no time to compose these words. All she could see were the dishes, and the different flavors but all of them surprised and lingered on her taste buds.
Her brain was no longer willing to think, it was all focused on remembering these delicious foods.
Thousands of words just come down to two words.
"tasty!"
The banquet she had attended with the dean in the City of Sword Flowers was not as delicious as this one.
No, not even close, still a long way off!
She asked too.
Fish, pork, beef, these ingredients are also available in Jianhua City, but why can't they make such delicious dishes?
She picked up a piece of crystal-like sashimi, dipped it in the mysterious dipping sauce, put it into her mouth and took a light bite. The tender and delicious gravy immediately exploded in her mouth. Combined with the taste of the magical dipping sauce, Medesa felt as if her soul was about to ascend to heaven and couldn't help but moan.
She finally held back.
Although she wanted to wolf down the food, the habit engraved deep in her soul allowed her to maintain her final elegance.
However, the chopsticks that she had gradually become proficient at using became mere shadows in her hands, and the number of dishes decreased visibly.
After a while,
When Metissa burped a little, she was surprised to find...
I was actually full.
How could I be full? These dishes looked like a lot, but the ingredients in worlds like were all low-grade and didn't contain much energy.
Eating these foods, with my triple awakening, my body and stomach are ten to twenty times larger than those of an average person, and I won’t feel full even if I eat several times more.
That's what should be the case, but why am I almost full after just a short while?
hateful!
I really want to continue eating!
Wait, now we should think about not the question of saturation or not, but, but...
After eating a little and her brain began to return to rationality, Medesa's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she suddenly realized an important thing - she was at a dinner party, and her purpose was to discuss cooperation with Mentor Blue Star.
But what did you say throughout the whole process?
People either asked about this food or that food, and the word they said most often was "delicious."
How could I eat so much that I forget about my work?
Aaaaaa——!
Medesa lowered her head and wanted to cover her face, feeling socially dead.
What's worse is that my embarrassing performance will ruin the cooperation! Listen to me, we in the Sword Flower City are not like this normally!
Is it embarrassing?
Fang You didn't think so. Miss Medesa's eating manners were still very elegant, even more elegant than a certain Yi Yue Luxi.
He felt good.
This just shows the charm of Blue Star cuisine. How can we blame Medissa?
"Only delicious food and love can't be wasted. Girl, don't blame yourself, just enjoy them to your heart's content."
…
…
Metissa enjoyed it some more.
She found that the mentor really did not blame her. Seeing that she was eating happily, the mentor also showed a happy smile on his face.
What a good person!
then,
Medesa went from eating until she was 80% full to eating 120% full. She touched her slightly bulging belly and a blush appeared on her cheeks.
Don’t miss out on delicious food, don’t blame yourself, but…
I ate too much and was too full without realizing it. This is so ungraceful!
(Covering face)!
"Thank you very much for your hospitality. This is the most delicious meal I have ever had."
"If you like, Miss Meitysa can stay here. Apart from anything else, there is plenty of food here, and it's not just what we have today. We on Blue Star have many other kinds of food to offer."
"Really? There's more?!"
She opened her eyes wide, hesitated for a while, her face full of reluctance, but she still gritted her teeth and refused, "No, this is too expensive." She was from Jianhua City and stood firmly on the interests of Jianhua, and could not accept benefits from Blue Star.
Be restrained!
"It's not expensive. These are common foods on our Blue Planet."
When she heard her instructor say this, Shi Yunxi nodded, "Although we don't eat like this every time, but most of the time it's just unnecessary to eat so much trouble. We can definitely afford it, and it's not expensive."
The life of you blue planet people is so luxurious!
Mei Disha was so envious that she couldn't resist the sugar-coated bullet. After all, since it wasn't an expensive thing, it wouldn't be a big deal to eat a little bit, right? She was an envoy who brought about win-win cooperation, which was good for Blue Star. Of course, she was definitely standing on the side of Sword Flower City, striving for more benefits for Sword Flower City and the Academy.
So just eat. Maybe if you eat more, it will be easier to negotiate a cooperation.
This is the custom on Blue Star. As the people of Blue Star say, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
This is what Metissa convinced herself.
Seeing that she turned into the shape of delicious food, Fang You also gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.
Praise be to his Great Foodie Empire. It would be great if he could "conquer" the envoy of the Sword Flower City, Medissa, with some delicious food.
Even if he can't, he has nothing to lose.
As he said, these are just ordinary delicacies. Even if some high-quality ingredients are used in them, such as crystal corn kernels, meat from meat fields, etc., they are actually not that expensive.
Ordinary people can't afford it, but for elites like Anna and Shi Yunxi, eating it every day is not a problem.
These ingredients simply contained more energy, which could make the taste slightly better. He had more precious ingredients - those that could increase the food by two dimensions and provide benefits - but he didn't take them out.
After eating and drinking, the conversation went smoothly.
——For the other party.
I easily got a lot of information from Medesa. This information might be widely circulated among the big oases and was the "common sense" of the oasis elites, but it was extremely precious to Blue Star.
Normal new forces have no channels to obtain it, and even if they do, they have to pay a huge price.
The information in the mysterious world is very important.
But perhaps it was because the meal was delicious enough, or perhaps it was because the potential and strength shown by Blue Star was strong enough, that Medesa told a lot of information without much hesitation.
Fang You had heard of most of them, and now he could verify them with each other.
There are also a few newer ones.
"Indeed, it is easier to go from the deep layer of the strange world to the shallow layer than from the shallow layer to the deep layer." Meidisha said, "Just like water flows to the lower place, as long as you arrange the ritual and open a hole, you can descend along the flow of water."
"However, in areas like the shallow border, there is a world repulsion force. The higher the life level of the awakened one, the more difficult it is to land, and they will be pushed back."
"So the messengers from our Sword Flower City, including those from other large oases, are usually elites like me who have three awakenings. Unless there is a major situation, or the world's repulsion is weak, there will be big figures like our vice-president coming."
She said.
Of course, the specific "landing ceremony" was not mentioned, as this involves advanced information.
Unless he wants to buy it, but Fang You has no intention of buying it.
They have no use for their legacy, and the "landing ceremony" of the Great Oasis forces is not a very sophisticated ceremony. The truly top-notch and powerful ones are all in the hands of the evil god camp.
When the day comes when the torch is needed, there will probably be a good ritual method.
He didn't buy it, and Metissa was a little disappointed.
Another sales pitch that failed.
She had already implicitly promoted many kinds of "products" before, such as awakening potions, awakening secrets, awakening rituals, as well as methods to reduce pollution, evil secrets, and a lot of knowledge and information, but none of them could be sold.
"We already have these and don't need them. Miss Medesa, why don't you think about it again? What else do you have in Sword Flower City? Don't worry if you can't think of it. Even if the deal fails, there is still friendship ."
"Similarly, Miss Metis can also take a look at our Blue Star's specialties."
Metissa was angry.
Which Oasis force was ahead of them? They sold too much knowledge! They sold everything related to awakening, pollution, and evil! How much did you earn from Blue Star?
When she thought about the huge profits lost to neighbors because of their backward arrival, Medesa felt so heartbroken that her chest heaved and her breathing became rapid.
At this time, a waiter handed over a thick leather book.
"This records many of our Blue Star's specialties. Miss Metisa, you may want to take a look."
Hearing this, she opened the book.
Just like a recipe, it not only contains the name of the specialty, but also pictures and instructions, so you can understand it at a glance.
She took a quick look and found that Blue Star was well prepared... too well! They, the Sword Flower City, said that they had traded with many new forces and visited many unswallowed worlds, but in comparison, they seemed like outsiders.
This won't work!
This needs to be learned!
As she thought about it, her eyes froze as they swept across the exquisite foods.
Should I also bring some delicious food back for the dean to taste?
…
Medesa represented the City of Sword Flowers and finally sold a "product" that was not rejected.
——Mingguang Lantern.
The fog-repelling props made of Mingguang wood as the main fuel have a much higher technical content than the Mingguang torches and Mingguang torches, and the effect is far superior to the former.
The conventional fog-repelling distance is increased from 50 meters to 100 meters. At the same time, within the range of light coverage, the effect of repelling evil spirits is stronger. It is also not easy to be destroyed, has a long fuel endurance, etc.
Shi Yunxi and his companions have experienced these things firsthand.
Therefore, Fang You planned to buy the production technology of this lantern.
He believed that if Master Wang Chui was given time, he would be able to figure out the production process, but what Xinhuo lacked most was time. Master Wang's orders and research on technology were all scheduled for several months later, so he would buy the Mingguang lanterns whenever he could.
It’s not expensive.
If it's expensive, he can go somewhere else.
This is just a preliminary intention. Medesa does not have the production drawings of the lantern in her hand, and she still needs to contact the college to seek their opinions.
Compared to Lan Xing's intention, Medesa couldn't take her eyes off the list, just like a girl carrying a bag into a shopping mall, her eyes full of things she wanted to buy.
Too many.
There are a lot of foods, and even the production process of delicious foods. Of course, it is very expensive. The price of normal blueprints and recipes is hundreds of times that of the items, not to mention Blue Star delicacies, which are "low in unit price but easy to mass produce". The recipe price starts at ten thousand times that of the food.
Medesa understood and was also greedy.
There are many more recipes for the foods she covets that do not appear in this book of Blue Star specialties. They may be the secret delicacies of Blue Star.
However, although she was envious, Medesa did not have the capital to buy anything.
She could only swallow her saliva, write down the exciting Blue Star specialties, and report to the dean later.
…
The strange world, the shallow layer bordering the blue planet.
A tall black tower stands here, blocking off the thick grey fog. Few evil things can enter this strange place.
Inside the tower, the girl sat on a high stone table, dangling her flawless feet like white jade and gazing into the distance.
suddenly,
She put on her boots and robe, walked to the gate of the tower, and smiled at the black-haired girl walking towards her. "You're finally here. Now, how are you going to trade this time?"
The two of them were quite familiar with each other. Except for the first two times, all subsequent transactions were handled by Miss An.
The items traded are also varied.
There are basic potion formulas, news about the strange world, information about the oasis forces, and so on .
What she bought from Blue Star were mostly bulk foods, and also a few recipes, such as one called "Tea Eggs," which made her a lot of profit.
The key is that it tastes good!
Of course, the most important thing is that it tastes good. Good food should not be wasted.
"Here, this is the new list of items for our Blackstone Alliance. There's something in it that you want~"
She smiled.
But An Jianyou had a blank expression on his face. “Just tell me straight away. I still have to contact my tutor after you finish.”
“Boring!”
Yi Yue Luxi curled her lips and said, "That's it. The bright lantern can effectively dispel the gray fog. It's very important for those of you who want to explore the strange world, especially now that the gray fog is about to cover us."
She stretched out her finger, "Just this amount~"
After many transactions, both parties have reached a tacit understanding on the valuation.
I rarely bargain, and I won't deliberately ask for a high price.
An Jianyou listened to the numbers and was silent for a moment before saying, "Tell me the next one."
"Huh? The next one."
Yi Yue Luxi's eyes widened. "Didn't you say you wanted this kind of prop?"
"That's true, but we've already bought it from another oasis."
It's like saying that you can't buy soy sauce today, so you go buy it from somewhere else. It's very common.
For An Jianyou, it is.
This is not the case for Yi Yue Luxi.
She was surprised, she was stunned, her eyes widened.
"I was here first!"
