The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 146 The Stall Owners' Choices
"Egg Baby, use Breath of Fire!"

With Qin Lang's command, Danbao took a deep breath and then exhaled violently forward, a rolling heat wave swept out, and flames instantly covered a fan-shaped area nearly ten meters in front of him.

"It's no use!" Zhao Qian's eyes flashed, and she forcefully swung her fist into the air. "Bubu, let's use the new combat technique!"

"Buy~"

Bubu responded and instantly conjured an ice mirror in front of him.

As the flames swept through, the ice mirror grew brighter and brighter after absorbing them. When the flames completely dissipated, the ice mirror shone brightly, spewing out the exact same flames.

"Gulu?!"

Egg Baby's eyes widened, and before it could dodge, it was hit squarely by its own flames, leaving patches of charred black on its body, making it look extremely disheveled.

"Impressive." Qin Lang gave Zhao Qian a thumbs up. "The [Ice Mirror Reflection] combat skill is really cheesy."

"It can actually absorb the opponent's attack and then reflect it back to the opponent."

"It's not that strong." Zhao Qian smiled. "The combat skill [Ice Mirror Reflection] consumes a lot of stamina, and the amount of stamina consumed is directly proportional to the power of the reflected combat skill."

"If you encounter a powerful opponent, before your skills can even be reflected back, Bubu will have already exhausted his stamina and lost his ability to fight."

“Even so, this combat skill is still very strong.” Qin Lang smiled. “As an awakened combat skill for a one-star Food Spirit.”

“Yes.” Cao Dongdong nodded in agreement. “When Tuantuan was promoted to one star, her awakened combat skill was [Comeback], which is much weaker than Bubu’s awakened combat skill.”

"How dare you say that?" Zhao Qian couldn't help but roll her eyes. "This is a divine skill that restores half of your stamina when you lose the ability to fight!"

"It's not like you recover every time you lose your fighting ability." Cao Dongdong shrugged, looking dissatisfied. "You only get one chance."

Upon hearing Cao Dongdong's Versailles-like words, both Qin Lang and Zhao Qian couldn't help but show a dark expression.

"Alright, that's enough." Qin Lang touched Egg Baby, who had recovered from the [burn] state, and casually glanced at it with his phone.

"drop--"

Over the past few days, Zhao Qian has been taking turns sparring with Qin Lang and Cao Dongdong, and through these repeated battles, all three of them have improved their skills considerably.

Zhao Qian and Cao Dongdong's Food Spirits have all been promoted to one-star Food Spirits and gained new combat skills, while Egg Treasure has also been successfully upgraded to Lv13.

As for experience points, after experiencing various events, all three food spirits have greatly improved. Bubu, who has the highest experience points, has now reached 23 points, while Egg Baby has increased to 21 points.

It's worth noting that the initial experience points for the two individuals differed by a full 12 points, demonstrating just how difficult it is to further increase experience points once they've been raised.

"Let's go check out the 'Happy Party' amusement park." Qin Lang glanced at the time. "Perfect timing, it's lunchtime."

Today is the last day of his "one-week agreement" with those spirit chef stall owners.

Cao Dongdong and Zhao Qian both looked expectant. "I haven't had those snacks for a few days, and I'm starting to miss them." Cao Dongdong rubbed his stomach and chuckled. "We're leaving Bailushan City soon, so I'm going to have a big meal today."

"Oh right, we're going to Danju City soon." Reminded by Cao Dongdong, Zhao Qian also remembered this. "Then I'll eat more!"

"Feila!"

"Buyi!"

Tuantuan and Bubu echoed each other, showing no sign of leaving until they had tried all the snacks.

Looking at his two little friends, Egg Baby swallowed hard, but decided against showing off his prized egg fried rice to them.

As the three chatted and laughed, they soon arrived at the entrance of the "Happy Party" amusement park. Unlike the deserted place before, the ticket gates were now packed with long queues. Moreover, it wasn't just the entrance to the free food and beverage area that was crowded; the entrances to the park where people had to buy tickets were also overflowing with people.

From afar, Qin Lang and his two companions spotted Ye Zhen, who was wearing an adorable deer antler headband and bustling around at the ticket gate, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"It seems Director Ye will need to hire more staff." Zhao Qian sighed and pointed to the ticket gate. "Let's queue over there? The ticket line seems shorter. We can enter the food area from the inner entrance after we go in."

Qin Lang and the other person naturally had no objections.

However, after the three of them waited in line for quite a while before finally entering the amusement park, they were immediately taken aback when they arrived at the entrance.

There was a queue at the internal entrance as well, and the queue was even longer than the one outside!
Even through the railing, Qin Lang and his two companions could clearly see the crowded conditions in the dining area, and that was despite the presence of a queuing system.

It's hard to imagine what would happen without the queuing system.

"Even the 'Happy Party' at its peak wasn't this grand, was it?" Cao Dongdong couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Everywhere you look, there are people.

The dining area is for people, and so is the amusement area.

Even for less popular rides, there were long queues, and for the more popular rides, the lines were incredibly long.

Qin Lang and the other two exchanged a glance, and then spoke in unison.

"Let's split up!"

Time flew by, and the number of visitors to the "Happy Party" amusement park only began to gradually decrease after the evening fireworks display ended.

Once the park closed, Qin Lang and his two companions finally had time to chat with the food vendors who had been busy all day.

Upon seeing Qin Lang, everyone was equally excited and swarmed around him, each telling him about the amusement park's bustling business and the booming business of their respective businesses during Qin Lang's absence.

Qin Lang listened quietly, and only spoke slowly after everyone had finished talking.

"Everyone, our one-week contract has ended."

"What are your plans next?"

Upon hearing this, the Yu Ling Chef stall owners exchanged smiles, and then, with perfect understanding, simultaneously produced a brand new contract.

"This is the catering outsourcing contract we signed with Director Ye," one of the stall owners said with a smile. "From now on, setting up a stall here will no longer be free, but the income will still be much higher than setting up a stall in the food street."

"Only a fool would leave when there's such a good deal!"

"Yes, yes, I could work here for the rest of my life!"

Qin Lang smiled as he listened to the stall owners' words.
