The Spirit of Gourmet

The Location of the Seventh Painting in Chapter 128

"The park is finally closed."

On his way back to the hotel, Cao Dongdong couldn't help but stretch. "I roughly calculated that I made 40 batches of egg yolk pastries today."

Each batch contains 30 pieces, which makes a total of 1200 pieces!
"What's so special about that?" Zhao Qian chuckled. "Qin Lang's number has already been booked twice, hasn't it?"

"Yes." Qin Lang nodded helplessly.

He was too conservative when he asked Cao Dongdong to help prepare the queuing machine; the serial number was only set to three digits.

Once it reaches 999, the new serial number will start from 001.

Qin Lang served over two thousand diners today, with the queue number reaching 999 twice before being reset.

Moreover, many of these diners bought more than one serving of plain noodles, so if calculated by the number of servings, the total probably exceeds three thousand.

Qin Lang initially cooked ten portions at a time, but later, when he was too busy, he switched to cooking twenty portions at a time, which barely met the demand.

If Qin Lang hadn't improved his physical fitness considerably, he wouldn't have been able to sustain this level of street vending at all.

Of the three, Zhao Qian was the most relaxed.

Although they went back to the hotel to restock the braised beef, it sold out again before dark. While Qin Lang and Cao Dongdong were still working hard during the fireworks display that night, she was already having fun.

"By the way, Qin Lang, what are you planning to sell tomorrow?" Cao Dongdong couldn't help but ask curiously. "Is it another new delicacy?"

"Tomorrow?" Qin Lang couldn't help but roll his eyes. "No more."

"I won't be setting up my stall tomorrow."

He set up a stall to speed up the process of completing the sixth painting.

Now that he has successfully checked in, he won't do something so troublesome.

It's obvious to anyone that tomorrow's business will be even more terrifying than today's.

"Huh?" Zhao Qian looked surprised. "But a lot of customers are looking forward to your stall tomorrow."

"It's alright." Qin Lang chuckled. "Not all expectations will ultimately be met. They'll get used to it."

“We’ve already established a foothold in the early stages. The other vendors at the amusement park will be able to keep things going. They’ll do even better without me,” Qin Lang said, then added, “And you guys can go too!”

"I'm not going." Cao Dongdong rolled his eyes at Qin Lang.

Although he enjoyed the sense of accomplishment from having his egg yolk pastry loved, the work was just too tiring and too much of a challenge for a rich kid like him.

Moreover, Cao Dongdong had a vague feeling that if Qin Lang left him to act alone, he would definitely miss out on some interesting things.

“Me too.” Zhao Qian nodded, standing on the same side as Cao Dongdong. “The novelty of setting up a stall has worn off, and Bubu isn’t getting many experience points anymore. It’s more interesting to follow you.”

"Alright." Seeing their reaction, Qin Lang shrugged, unsurprised. "We'll probably be going to a new place tomorrow."

The sixth painting is complete; it's time to unlock the seventh.

After checking in, Qin Lang was busy setting up his stall and hadn't had a chance to use his inner vision to check the Traveler's Book yet.

Zhao Qian and Cao Dongdong exchanged a glance and followed Qin Lang silently. Even after entering the hotel, they did not return to their respective rooms, but instead walked together to the door of Qin Lang's room.

"What are you doing here?" A question mark appeared on Qin Lang's forehead.

"Tell me, where is the new place?" Cao Dongdong said casually. "If the location hasn't been determined yet, you can show me the drawing."

“I’m Cao Dongdong, a local expert!” “Forget about me.” Zhao Qian rolled her eyes. “But I can help you ask around on forums or other places.”

Seeing the two of them looking like they knew the whole process, Qin Lang's lips twitched slightly. He walked into the room, sat down at his desk, and entered a state of internal vision.

A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes, took out paper and pen, and began to sketch a simple landscape painting.

It was an antique-style pavilion, but it was built on the mountaintop, with a misty cloud below the rocks.

Before Qin Lang could finish coloring, Cao Dongdong had already identified the corresponding location in the painting, "This is the Misty Pavilion!"

"Mist-Hidden Pavilion?" Qin Lang stopped writing.

Upon hearing this somewhat familiar word, his heart skipped a beat. "Could it be that the Misty Pavilion is located at the summit of Misty Mountain?"

“That’s right.” Cao Dongdong chuckled. “Mount Wuyin is shrouded in mist all year round, and there are many legends about it.”

"This Misty Pavilion is one of the legends."

"There is a rumor that it was built by Jock, the man who rode a deer."

"That human adventurer who gained the Silver Deer's allegiance?" Zhao Qian looked surprised. "That long ago?"

"It's just a legend." Cao Dongdong waved his hand. "There are many different opinions about who built the Misty Pavilion, but it has indeed been there for many years."

"So..." Cao Dongdong looked at Qin Lang, "You're going to Wuyin Pavilion tomorrow?"

"Sure, I'll go." Qin Lang smiled. "It just so happens that the food recommender Ruan Cen invited me to go to Wuyin Mountain for a food recommender assessment today."

The seventh painting is now located at the top of Wuyin Mountain, which is very convenient.

Judging from the pictures, there weren't many human factors involved in the scenery this time, so it should be easy to complete the photo check-in smoothly.

"The assessment for the Salty Food Recommender..." Zhao Qian looked interested. "Then I'll have to make some preparations."

Saltiness is a very broad category because the vast majority of dishes are salty, so Ruan Cen's assessment covers a very wide range.

"Damn it." Cao Dongdong sighed, resting his chin on his hand. "I'm out of luck for this food recommender assessment."

"I'll just bring my mouth and go freeload."

The three agreed on a time to set off together the next day, and then Zhao Qian and Cao Dongdong said goodbye and left, returning to their own rooms.

Everyone was tired after a day of setting up a stall.

After Zhao Qian and the other person left, Qin Lang closed his eyes, and opened them again a moment later, holding a scroll-like object in his hand.

Similar to the previous [Fragrance of Light Sleep] combat skill learning item, its front is engraved with four large light purple characters.

[The Magic of Forgetting]

This is the reward Qin Lang received after completing the sixth painting.

"Separate the fire attribute gem first, then absorb this." Qin Lang handed the combat skill learning item to Egg Treasure. Soon the scroll disappeared, and he had a smaller fire attribute gem in his hand.

That's the result of what Egg Baby absorbs every day.

Watching Egg Baby enter skill learning mode, Qin Lang put the fire attribute gem aside and entered the combat skill database of the Spirit Chef Association.

[(Mental) Forgetting Magic (Non-Single-Type): Use on a designated target. The target will temporarily forget their most recently used combat skill, and the user will also forget the [Forgetting Magic]. The effect is canceled after using any combat skill 5 times.]
