The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 234 The Pattern of Increasing Experience Points
Upon reopening his eyes, Qin Lang produced a Chengxing Stone as if by magic.

Egg Baby's eyes widened suddenly, and he let out a joyful cheer. He was about to pounce on it and swallow it whole, just like he always did, when he suddenly remembered something, stopped, and looked at Spicy beside him.

Lala had never seen a Chengxing Stone before, but she could feel a very attractive power emanating from the beautiful stone in Qin Lang's hand. At this moment, she was staring wide-eyed with a hint of longing in her eyes.

Seeing this, Egg Baby flicked its tail slightly, and the Clear Star Stone moved towards Lala.

When faced with Lala's questioning gaze, Danbao shook his head.

"Guru Guru~"

I've already eaten a lot, you can have this one!
Upon hearing this, Lala tentatively opened her mouth, took the Chengxing Stone into her mouth, and then swallowed it in one gulp.

Feeling the surging energy within its body, its eyes were filled with surprise.

Qin Lang watched this scene with a smile in his eyes.

He deliberately didn't say who the Chengxing Stone was for, just to see how Danbao and Lala would solve this problem.

Previously, there was only one Food Spirit, Egg Baby. No matter what Food Spirit training resources were obtained, they were all given to Egg Baby, without a doubt.

But now that Qin Lang has La La, he will have even more food spirits in the future, so the allocation of resources becomes especially important.

It seems that Egg Baby is quite a responsible senior, knowing to let Spicy grow up first.

Once Lala's breathing had stabilized, Qin Lang took out his phone and scanned her face.

"drop--"

【Food Spirit: Spicy】

[Level: Lv7]

[Experience Value: 2/100]

Like Egg Baby, a single Clear Star Stone directly upgraded Lala from Lv1 to Lv7, and her experience points increased to 2 points today.

"Lala, this is for you."

Qin Lang casually took the combat skill learning item [Fragrance of Light Sleep] from the Traveler's Book and handed it to Lala, then looked at Danbao.

Come to think of it, it's been a while since I scanned Egg Baby.

The last time I scanned it was when I first arrived in Tanju City.

"drop--"

【Food Spirit: Egg Treasure】

[Level: Lv17]

【Features: Defeat the enemy with the last move】

【Food skills: fresh and full of freshness】

[Experience Value: 30/100]

[Attributes: Salty, Fire]

【味值：270（体力90、攻击60、防御80、速度40）】

Combat Techniques: (Fire) Breath of Blazing Fire, (Wood) Fragrance of Shallow Sleep, (Light) Gathering of Light, (Fire) Warm-up Exercises, (Fire) Body of Vengeful Fire, (Mental) Oblivion Magic

"how is this possible?"

After just one glance, Qin Lang couldn't help but stand up.

During the last test, Egg Baby's level was Lv15. During the competition, it would spar with Zhao Qian and Cao Dongdong's food spirits whenever it had free time. With natural growth, it was a normal improvement to Lv17.

However, the experience points were 22 in the last test, but now they have soared to 30 points, which is quite astonishing.

According to Qin Lang's expectations, it would be good if it could be raised to 25.

Why did it improve so much?
Qin Lang stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Could it be... a high-end ingredient?
Upon closer examination, the quality of the various delicacies and ingredients that Egg Baby ate during the cooking competition was indeed far superior to that of before.

Furthermore, influenced by the competition, the dishes he made during this period gradually deviated from home-style cooking and began to change towards more challenging dishes. Experience points are essentially a numerical representation of a Food Spirit's continuous contact with new things in the outside world, increasing its own experience. Tasting better ingredients and more delicious food might have a greater impact on increasing experience.

Realizing this, Qin Lang felt a surge of excitement.

He seems to have discovered some patterns in how experience points increase!
This way, it will be faster to max out Egg Baby's experience points!
"Once you've maxed out your experience points, we can start preparing for the Spirit Renewal!" Qin Lang excitedly hugged Danbao and spun him around twice.

Food Spirit Renewal...

Egg Baby's eyes widened, and a sense of anticipation arose in his heart.

Slowly putting Danbao down, Qin Lang quickly calmed down and opened his phone to search for the "Leaping Fish" cruise ship.

Before long, a picture of a cruise ship that looked exactly like the one in the twelfth painting appeared before Qin Lang's eyes.

"Sure enough."

Qin Lang sighed, a complex expression appearing on his face.

His next stop was the "Leaping Fish" cruise ship.

However, based on the past patterns of the Traveler's Book, the subsequent paintings are likely to be related to this as well.

In other words, the subsequent paintings in the Traveler's Book may be located in the Mingjing State.

That will be a new map.

Tossing his phone aside, Qin Lang put Lala back into his Star Vein and carried Danbao toward his room.

"It's come to this, let's go to sleep first."

"So...so big!"

Looking at the luxurious estate stretching as far as the eye could see on the other side of the fence, Zhao Qian covered her mouth in astonishment.

"Yes." Qin Lang nodded in deep agreement.

Although he had met Cao Dongdong's father once, he had never been to Cao Dongdong's home before, and he never expected that the guy lived so well.

"Hmph~" Cao Dongdong practically shrugged, "I wanted to interact with you all as an ordinary person, but all I got in return was distance and indifference. Since that's the case, I'm laying my cards on the table... I..."

"Snapped!"

Before Cao Dongdong could finish speaking, a slap landed on the back of his head.

The person who made the move was not Zhao Qian, but a stocky middle-aged man who had somehow appeared behind Cao Dongdong.

"Who hit me?" Cao Dongdong turned around aggressively, but immediately cowered when he saw the man. "Dad, what are you doing outside..."

"I just finished trimming the flowers and plants in the yard. I thought you should be arriving soon, so I came to pick you up." Cao Dongdong's father, Cao Wang, snorted, then put on a friendly smile as he looked at Qin Lang and Zhao Qian.

"Dongdong has always been this way since he was little, please bear with him."

"Uncle Cao, what are you saying?" Qin Lang said, suppressing a laugh. "Cao Dongdong is great, traveling with him is a lot of fun."

"He still has a lot to learn from you all," Cao Wang laughed. "I've already met Xiao Qin before. This must be Xiao Zhao, right?"

"Hello, Uncle Cao." Zhao Qian quickly nodded.

"Okay, okay." Cao Wang nodded with a smile. "My wife and I originally wanted a lovely daughter, but who knew we'd have this little guy instead..."

"Hey Lao Deng, do you have some kind of problem with me?" Cao Dongdong rolled his eyes and couldn't help but ask.

“Now you’ve really made something of yourself, before…” Cao Wang shook his head in disdain, then changed the subject, “Let’s not stand here, let’s go inside.”

As he spoke, he yanked open the gate.

"Sorry to bother you." Qin Lang pulled Zhao Qian, who was still a little uneasy, and quickly followed her into Cao Dongdong's home.

As we entered the house, a middle-aged woman with delicate features and a youthful appearance strode out. "Is it Dongdong's friend?"

"This is my mom," Cao Dongdong introduced.

Qin Lang and Zhao Qian looked at Cao's mother, and then at Cao Dongdong.

Now we know who this guy inherited his good looks from!
