The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 249 Overlapping Maps

"I got the fourth badge!"

As Cao Dongdong strode out of Yunxia Garden, he saw Qin Lang, Zhao Qian, and Zuo Ge waiting outside for him to finish his assessment. He eagerly raised his brand-new badge, making the three of them laugh.

"Congratulations on obtaining your fourth Level 1 Food Recommender Badge." Qin Lang patted Cao Dongdong on the shoulder. "You're one step closer to the second Star Vein."

He and Zhao Qian had already obtained seven Level 1 Food Recommender badges in Tianhua Prefecture, and Rosemary City was also a city within Tianhua Prefecture. Whether they had one more or one less badge was no longer of much significance to them.

"Hehe~" Cao Dongdong grinned, "Trust me, the remaining three won't be long!"

"So, are we going to Rosemary Manor next?" Zhao Qian asked, her face beaming with excitement. "I just checked some travel guides, and they said the Rosemary Castle at Rosemary Manor is really interesting."

“Then you’ve come to the right person.” Cao Dongdong puffed out his chest. “I’ve been to Rosemary Castle before when I came to Rosemary City.”

"This time, I'll be your guide!"

“Speaking of Rosemary Castle, I’ve heard a bit about it too,” Zoge couldn’t help but say. “It’s said that a long time ago, Rosemary Castle and Rosemary Manor were the private domain of a powerful spirit chef.”

"The name of that powerful spirit chef is unknown, but there are rumors that he once tried to conquer legendary creatures."

"Although this crazy attempt failed, he still managed to escape unscathed from the other party and gained extremely high prestige."

"After his death, he bequeathed Rosemary Estate and Rosemary Castle to his closest friends, which have now become tourist attractions over time."

"I never imagined that Rosemary Manor had such a history," Qin Lang exclaimed in amazement. "Now I'm even more eager to go and see it."

A spirit chef attempting to conquer legendary creatures?

He had witnessed the power of the Silver Deer firsthand. The elite officer of the hunting team named Redo tried his best but still couldn't budge the Silver Deer at all. Instead, he was instantly defeated by the Silver Deer's casual attack.

The Spirit Chef who was able to escape unscathed from the hands of the legendary creature must be many, many times stronger than Lei Duo, right?

The four chatted and laughed as they soon arrived at Rosemary Manor.

"Rosemary Castle is located at the very innermost part of Rosemary Manor." Cao Dongdong pointed to the depths of Rosemary Manor. Looking past the tourists and scenery within the manor, Qin Lang and the others could clearly see the outline of the castle.

"I've already bought the tickets, let's go!" Zhao Qian jogged back to the group, now holding four tickets in her hand.

As they queued to pass through the ticket gate, the staff at Rosemary Manor smiled and handed Qin Lang and his companions four guide maps.

"Welcome to Rosemary Manor. This guide map will help you navigate the place better. We hope you enjoy your visit."

"Thank you!" Qin Lang replied, taking the guide map.

The so-called guide map is an aerial view of the entire Rosemary Estate, with different areas marked on it to make it easier for tourists to find their way.

However, Qin Lang's expression changed slightly the moment his gaze fell on the guide map.

This map gave him a strong sense of familiarity!
"Qin Lang, what's wrong?" Noticing that Qin Lang's expression was unusual, Cao Dongdong couldn't help but ask.

“I feel like this picture looks a bit like…” Qin Lang said, taking out a folded old map from his backpack.

The map was only outlined with simple strokes, and in one corner of the map was something that looked like a treasure chest.

This was a gift from Ye Zhen, the director of "Happy Party" amusement park, to Qin Lang when he left Bailushan City. It was a treasure map from his father.

When Qin Lang put the treasure map and the guide map together, they almost completely overlapped.

"The treasure map of Director Ye's father actually corresponds to this place!" Zhao Qian couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and after taking a closer look, her expression became strange.

"If that's the case, then the treasure location is..."

The four looked at each other, then exclaimed in unison, "Rosemary Castle?!"
-
"It's a bit troublesome now."

Having already showered and casually disguised herself and Liu Chuang, Lomi clicked her tongue and looked at Qin Lang and his group of four entering the Rosemary Manor through the other end of the binoculars. "They chose a place with a lot of people."

"It's very troublesome." Liu Chuang slowly put down his binoculars, his expression serious. "Lomi, we don't have the funds to buy tickets!"

"So this is the problem, huh?!" Lomi slapped Liu Chuang on the forehead with a chop to the head. "Come on, we're a wanted criminal organization!"

"What kind of criminal organization members have to buy tickets to enter tourist attractions? That's not cool at all!"

"Okay." Liu Chuang rubbed his forehead, looking dejected, and asked, "Then how are we going to get in?"

"Well," Lomi looked around, then fixed her gaze in a certain direction and gestured with her lips, "Look over there."

Liu Chuang looked in the direction of the sound and saw two men dressed as staff members of the Rosemary Manor carrying a sign covered with cloth past them.

"Do you remember how we sneaked into the amusement park queue before?"

Lomi's words made Liu Chuang's eyes light up. "You mean..."

"咚咚-"

"Crackling——"

Lomi blew on her fist, looked at the two unconscious men at her feet, and said with a satisfied expression, "Done."

"Change into their clothes, and we can go in." With that, Lomi quickly took off the work clothes from the shorter man and put them on.

Although the work clothes were a size smaller, they still looked bulky on Lomi. However, after Lomi skillfully adjusted them, they became a perfect fit at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lomi quickly picked up the two men's work IDs and replaced their photos. She then glanced at Liu Chuang, who was also dressed.

"Prepare to infiltrate, take the sign with you as cover."

"Wait."

Liu Chuang helped the two men up from the sign they were holding, and lifted the cover. It clearly read, "Facility malfunction, danger inside, do not enter."

"Lomi, you can't just take this brand, or there might be an accident."

“Idiot, we’re a criminal organization. Do you think we need to worry about accidents?” Lomi rolled her eyes and pulled down the brim of her hat.

"Then don't take it with you, just leave it here."

"They shouldn't be unconscious for long. Let's sneak in first."

"Okay!" Liu Chuang chuckled, covered the sign back with the cloth, placed it at the feet of the two unconscious men, and then quickly walked towards the ticket gate with Luo Mi.

As they passed through the staff passage next to the ticket gate, the staff member on duty saw Luo Mi and Liu Chuang, two unfamiliar faces, and looked puzzled.

However, the next moment, Lomi took out their employee ID cards.

"Come in." The staff member, unsuspecting, opened the turnstile.

Lomi and the other person entered Rosemary Manor and quickly exchanged a glance.

Infiltration successful!
