The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 127 Rewards and New Missions

"What beautiful fireworks..."

Outside the "Happy Party" amusement park, in a quiet and deserted urban area, Liu Chuang sat on the roof of an old house that had been abandoned for a long time, watching the fireworks rising from the amusement park and couldn't help but sigh.

"His Ka~"

Little Pi nestled in his arms and nodded in agreement.

"Step~"

Footsteps came from behind Liu Chuang, followed by Luo Mi's voice, "We've finally found you."

Upon hearing that demonic voice, Liu Chuang and the little Pi in his arms both showed expressions of terror. The two turned their heads tremblingly to look at Lomi, who was holding a bowl of steaming noodles.

"Um... Lomi," Liu Chuang chuckled awkwardly, "it's already quite late, how about we do it tomorrow..."

"Enough with the nonsense!" Lomi put one hand on her hip and handed the bowl to Liu Chuang with the other. "Try it and see if there's a difference!"

Liu Chuang: "..."

After the helium balloon flew around erratically, it eventually fell down because the gas had run out. Having learned from their previous experience, Liu Chuang, like Lomi, activated the Celestial Guardian in time to protect themselves and did not suffer serious damage.

But Lomi seemed to be inspired by this and started a crazy cooking experiment in a house that had been empty for a long time. She was determined to make the exact same plain noodles that night.

To be fair, while Luo Mi's plain noodles weren't quite as good as Qin Lang's, they were still very delicious.

But this was already Liu Chuang's fifth serving!
Five servings of plain noodles!

Even if it's delicious, I'd be sick of it!

"Lomi... how about we do something else?" Liu Chuang was still trying to persuade him. "Look, the compressed balloon escape device is malfunctioning again. Shouldn't you improve it?"

"Hmph, it's already been fixed." Lomi put her hands on her hips. "All you need to do is replace the original balloon fabric with fire-resistant and heat-resistant material."

"I was careless this time, I definitely won't do it again next time." With that, Lomi pushed the bowl toward Liu Chuang, "Stop changing the subject."

"eat fast!"

"I'll eat, I'll eat..." Liu Chuang sighed inwardly, took the plain noodles, ate two bites with some difficulty, and then rubbed his stomach.

He really couldn't eat anymore.

"Little Pi, I'm counting on you for the rest."

"Hiss~" Little Pi showed a look of resignation, buried his head in the noodle bowl, and started showing off with a series of clanging sounds.

"How is it? Doesn't it taste closer this time?" Lomi looked at Liu Chuang expectantly.

Just as Liu Chuang was about to speak, a rapid ringing suddenly sounded.

This ringtone…

Their expressions changed simultaneously.

"The organization has contacted us!" Lomi's eyes lit up with excitement, and the matter of the plain noodles was temporarily put aside.

"It seems the water sample we submitted last time has been tested!"

"A bonus!" Liu Chuang's eyes lit up instantly. "Now we have funds to buy more delicious ingredients!"

The two obtained coordinates through the hunting team's special communicator.

Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Chuang and Luo Mi rushed to the coordinates. When they arrived there, a tall, thin figure was already there.

This is…

Looking at the unfamiliar face, Liu Chuang looked bewildered, while Luo Mi's expression changed slightly, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Lord Redo? Why have you come in person?"

Seeing Liu Chuang still in a daze, Lomi secretly kicked him and whispered, "Lord Redo is an elite cadre!"

Elite cadres?!
Liu Chuang's expression changed.

The treasure hunting team's internal structure, from highest to lowest, consists of the team leader, vice-leader, elite officers, officers, and ordinary members. As an ordinary member who has just passed the basic training and assessment, Liu Chuang has only interacted with officers and has never met any elite officers.

"Greetings, Lord Redo!!!"

He quickly bowed, revealing an expression of admiration.

"Hmm." Redo's gaze swept between the two, a hint of appreciation appearing in his eyes. "You two did a very good job on this mission."

"The water source you submitted is more important than you think, so after consideration, the organization has decided to give you these as a reward in addition to the bonus."

With that, Redo took out four combat skill learning items and handed them to the two of them.

"Two lightning-type and two dark-type skills, all of which are one-time use combat skills."

"You allocate among yourselves."

"Thank you, sir!" Lomi and Liu Chuang exclaimed excitedly at the same time.

A total of four combat techniques!

Although Redo said he would allocate it himself, such a clear attribute assignment makes it unnecessary to allocate it at all.

Liu Chuang obtained two dark-type combat skills, and his expression became even more excited after seeing the names of the skills.

Dark-type combat skills: [Shadow Devour] and [Claw of the Night].

The former can restore the user's own stamina when attacking a target and causing the target to lose stamina, making it a versatile skill for the dark element.

The latter is also a very famous dark-type combat skill, belonging to short to medium range melee combat skills, which is also very suitable for Xiao Pi.

It's no exaggeration to say that with these two additional combat skills, Xiao Pi's fighting methods will be much more comprehensive, and his strength will double!
If Xiao Pi were to meet Qin Lang again, he would never be defeated so easily!

On the other side, Lomi's smile was equally radiant.

Lightning-type combat skills: [Breath of Thunder] and [Heavenly Lightning].

The former is a ranged skill similar to the fire-type [Breath of Fire], and its use in this type will result in a 100% chance of causing the [Paralysis] effect.

The latter is a combat skill that unleashes a white bolt of lightning from the sky, causing area-of-effect damage. It deals high damage and is executed very quickly.

Both combat skills are genuinely popular, and their combined value exceeds two million.

It seems the water source they discovered this time is really important, otherwise the organization wouldn't have offered such a valuable item as a reward.

"Have you looked at all the rewards?"

Redo's voice brought Lomi and Liu Chuang back to their senses.

“These rewards are just temporary benefits for you.” Redo’s gaze swept over the two of them as he spoke slowly. “Your original missions will be put on hold for now. You will follow me on a new mission for the time being.”

“And the new task is…” Redo paused slightly, a fanatical look appearing in his eyes, “to find the source of the water sample!”

"Lord Redo... what exactly is at the source of the water?" Lomi couldn't help but ask.

“Things?” Redo chuckled, a strange glint in his voice. “That’s not just anything.”

"That's a priceless treasure!"

"It's a treasure that every Spirit Master craves!"

Greed gleamed in his eyes. "If the vice-captains weren't all out of the way, this wouldn't be something an elite officer like me would be tasked with."

"You don't need to know too much, just a little."

"Complete this task, and I guarantee your promotion to cadre!"

Excitement appeared in the eyes of both Lomi and the other person.

"Yes!"
