The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 247, Thirteenth Painting

As Zhao Qian took her leave, Cao Dongdong and Zuo Ge did not linger and each returned to their own rooms.

Once only Qin Lang, the two food spirits, and a fish remained in the room, Qin Lang scooped out all the fish food from the fish tank and then sprinkled a small handful of precious rice.

Looking at Xiao Cai showing off her food, Qin Lang nodded with satisfaction.

Although he had never owned any pets, he knew that as long as a pet had a normal appetite, it wouldn't have any major problems.

Ignoring Xiao Cai in the fish tank, Qin Lang held Dan Bao in one arm and La La in the other, lay down on the bed, and a wave of exhaustion quickly washed over him.

He hasn't rested for a moment since he boarded the ship carrying large and small bags.

However, just as he was about to close his eyes, Qin Lang suddenly remembered something very important that he had overlooked, and he opened his eyes again.

Traveler's Book check-in!
As he boarded the ship, the Traveler's Book began to turn its pages, signaling that he had completed this check-in.

However, only now has he had the energy to check the follow-up.

Entering a state of inner vision, Qin Lang quickly saw the Traveler's Book floating in the Tian Shu Star Vein. He skillfully turned to the twelfth painting, and a distant view of the "Leaping Fish" cruise ship appeared before his eyes.

At this moment, a small green checkmark has appeared in the lower right corner of the painting.

Qin Lang continued flipping through the pages and quickly saw the back of the landscape painting.

It was a brand new combat skill learning item, with the four large characters "Flame Meteor" imprinted on the outermost edge of the scroll, flashing with a fire-like luster.

"He's unleashed his combat technique!" Qin Lang exclaimed with delight.

In any case, this is much better than Chengxing Stone.

Furthermore, based on the previous patterns in the Traveler's Book, this combat skill learning item should also be able to be used seven times.

In addition, the [Flame Meteor] combat skill is also quite good.

Previously, Zhou Tianhao's Food Spirit Red Bean displayed a combat skill called "Starfire Dive" in a battle against Tang Yu's Food Spirit.

That combat skill was a wide-range attack skill with a power of up to 110, which made Qin Lang extremely envious, wishing that Danbao could learn it too.

However, there are certain level restrictions on how Food Spirits learn combat skills. [Starfire Dive] requires level 30 or higher to learn. At Egg Baby's current level, even if it obtains a combat skill learning item, it will not be able to learn it.

Fortunately, there is a weaker version of the [Starfire Dive] skill that can be learned at Lv15, namely [Flame Meteor].

【(Fire) Flame Meteor (Non-STAB/STAB): Power 70/80, summons a fireball to fall from the sky, causing damage over a certain area】

This combat skill summons a fireball to attack from below. Although it can't compare to [Starfire Dive], its power of 80 is much stronger than Eggman's current [Breath of Fire].

Moreover, looking at the combat skills that Egg Baby currently possesses, although there are quite a few in terms of quantity and attribute types, it seems that the only offensive combat skill is [Breath of Fire].

This results in Egg Baby's attacks being relatively simple.

If you learn the [Flame Meteor] skill, you can make its attacks more diverse.

Therefore, the [Flame Meteor] combat skill came at just the right time.

Satisfied with his progress this time, Qin Lang's gaze then turned to the thirteenth painting that had been unlocked.

It was an old-fashioned metal gate located in the dim light.

The moment Qin Lang saw this door, he was reminded of the sturdy door at the entrance of the underground palace left by Qiao Ke, the man who rode the deer, when Ruan Cen led them into Bailushan City.

Although the two have completely different designs, they share a sense of quality from the same era beneath their rustic style.

Could this gate also be related to some legendary creature? But then, Qin Lang realized another problem.

That is, how do I find such a door?

Unlike other landscape paintings, such a door hidden in a cave, possibly involving legendary creatures, must be extremely well-hidden, and may even remain unknown to this day.

That's not something you can find just by randomly searching a few caves.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Lang sighed.

"Alright, let's draw it first."

Fortunately, Zuo Ge was with them this time, and perhaps they could get the answers to the questions about the legends from him.

Leaving the Traveler's Book, Qin Lang tossed the scroll of [Flame Meteor] to the cheering Egg Baby, then patted Spicy's head, "Once you reach Lv15, you can learn this combat skill too."

"Now you have offensive combat skills."

"Chop!" Lala nodded emphatically, glanced at Danbao who had entered a learning state, and then "woof" a big bite at Qin Lang's hand.

After releasing its grip, it flew directly back into the star vein.

Compared to Egg Treasure, Spicy is more like a normal Food Spirit. When it's not busy, it likes to return to the Star Vein because that's where it feels warm.

Of course, Eggbaby's abnormality was not due to its own fault.

It's all the Traveller's Book's fault for taking over its place.

Holding Danbao, who was studying, in his arms, Qin Lang lay down again and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past two days, Qin Lang and the others spent their free time engaging in activities with the food and travel club, and enjoying the various luxurious entertainment facilities on the "Leaping Fish" ship, experiencing an unprecedented sense of relaxation.

As the third day of the journey approached, the "Yueyu" ship, which had been sailing on the Xiayun River for two days, made its first stop midway.

“Looks like we’ve arrived in Rosemary City.” Cao Dongdong glanced at the dock outside the observation window and chuckled. “Rosemary City is a must-stop for the ‘Leaping Fish’ because passengers will also board here to go to Mingjing State.”

"At this time tomorrow, the 'Leaping Fish' will set sail again, and the passengers will have the opportunity to disembark and explore the sights of Rosemary City." Cao Dongdong paused in his speech.

"By the way, I've been to Rosemary City several times."

Qin Lang and Zhao Qian exchanged a glance upon hearing this.

"Let's search for travel guides instead." Zhao Qian silently opened her phone and began searching for travel guides for Rosemary City.

"Hey, hey, hey, do you guys distrust me that much?" Cao Dongdong made a heart-clutching gesture, his expression extremely exaggerated.

"The main problem is that the information you provided is somewhat unreliable," Qin Lang said with a smile, patting Cao Dongdong on the shoulder.

“This time it’s definitely going to work.” Cao Dongdong rolled his eyes helplessly. “We only have one day, so there are limited places we can go.”

"I suggest going to Cloud Garden in Rosemary City first, and then to Rosemary Estate, the most famous estate in Rosemary City."

"Trust me, these two places are enough for us to spend a whole day exploring."

“There’s nothing wrong with Rosemary Manor.” Zhao Qian, who had found a travel guide, looked up. “It’s said to be a must-see for everyone who comes to Rosemary City. The whole manor is like a giant maze with lots of fun entertainment facilities.”
