The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 260 Qin Lang's Choice of Position
"real?!"

Di You's eyes lit up, and he immediately became excited. "That's fantastic! I'm sure my idol will win the most popular food!"

"That's hard to say." Qin Lang chuckled. "There are plenty of Spirit Chefs whose culinary skills are better than mine. There's no such thing as absolutes."

"Oh, right." Looking at Cao Dongdong, who was secretly enjoying himself, Qin Lang changed the subject, "Dongdong, why don't you join me too?"

"No problem!" Cao Dongdong chuckled, excitedly rolling up his sleeves. "This time, I'm going to amaze everyone with my Snowy Red Bean Paste!"

Snow-white red bean paste...

Qin Lang glanced at Cao Dongdong's arm.

By the time the food expo ends, these arms will probably be a size bigger, right?

"Speaking of which, where is Sister Zhao Qian?" Jiang Ya suddenly asked. "She's also a Spirit Chef, so she can participate too."

Upon hearing Jiang Ya's question, Qin Lang's expression immediately turned strange.

"Zhao Qian probably won't be participating," Qin Lang sighed. "Don't ask why."

I'm sure Zhao Qian doesn't want more people to know about her embarrassing moments.

"Okay." Jiang Ya nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

“Well then, idol, let’s not delay, let’s go choose a booth now.” Di You looked excited. “The food fair will be held at the rooftop party pool on the top floor of the cruise ship, starting tomorrow.”

"Setting up stalls in different locations can have a significant impact on the voting results."

"Okay." Qin Lang smiled and stood up, looking at Cao Dongdong and Zuo Ge beside him, "Let's go see what good stalls there are."

"Lomi...are you sure you want to do this?"

Liu Chuang followed Luo Mi nervously, glancing anxiously at the hurried passersby on the dock. "Won't we be discovered?"

"What are you afraid of!" Lomi calmly pushed up her sunglasses, which she was using to disguise herself, and lowered her voice, "Stand up straight and don't look suspicious."

"It's just a forged ticket, no big deal."

"Trust my skills."

“Okay…” Thinking of how reliable Lomi had always been in this regard, Liu Chuang’s worries subsided a bit, and he straightened his back a little.

The two showed their tickets to the staff as usual, and then quickly boarded the ship. Only when they were far from the boarding gate did Liu Chuang excitedly speak.

"They're really in!"

"Don't make a fuss." Lomi pulled down her sunglasses slightly and carefully looked around. "We just ran into Qin Lang and his group. They definitely don't expect that we would dare to board the ship so openly."

"The most dangerous place is the safest place."

“But Lomi, if we really fight Qin Lang and the others on the ship, we’ll probably be caught very quickly, right?” Liu Chuang couldn’t help but ask.

"Idiot!" Luo Mi rolled her eyes at Liu Chuang. "Don't we know anything else besides fighting?"

“This time, we’ll use a more ingenious method.” With that, she stretched out a hand and clenched it in mid-air. “Infiltrate!”

"Although the Star Vein can temporarily contain precious spirits, such containment can only be maintained for a short period of time. Qin Lang cannot contain precious spirits in his Star Vein for a long time."

"Therefore, he may very well be hiding the precious spirit somewhere!"

"And the most likely place is..."

"His room!" Liu Chuang's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized.

“That’s right!” Lomi put her hands on her hips. “Our purpose in boarding this ship is to sneak into Qin Lang’s room without him noticing and find a way to take Zhen Ling away.” “If we operate correctly, we won’t be discovered at all and can safely transfer away using the diving equipment!”

"Wonderful!" Liu Chuang gave Luo Mi a thumbs up.

Having already located Qin Lang's room by diving and surveillance, Liu Chuang and his companion pretended to sneak in and quickly arrived in the vicinity.

Suddenly, Lomi stopped abruptly and tugged at Liu Chuang's shoulder, pulling him behind a nearby pillar.

Seeing the questioning look in Liu Chuang's eyes, Luo Mi made a "shh" gesture, and then pointed to Qin Lang's room door.

At that moment, Qin Lang's room door slowly opened, and a group of six people walked out and headed in a certain direction.

"Qin Lang, Cao Dongdong, and that guy named Zuo Ge are all here." A look of surprise flashed in Liu Chuang's eyes. "Only Zhao Qian is missing."

"Don't worry, Zhao Qian is definitely not here." Lomi seemed to have thought of something pleasant and couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

As the group of six disappeared from sight, Lomi quickly pulled Liu Chuang back into the scene. "Heaven is on our side! Now is the perfect time to infiltrate."

"You keep watch, I'll unlock it!"

As she spoke, Lomi pulled out a lock pick the size of a marker pen from her waist, and her petite figure quickly scaled the fence and arrived at Qin Lang's door.

"Sizzle—click—"

With a crisp sound, the door to the room was easily opened by Luo Mi. She gave Liu Chuang, who was keeping watch, a "done" gesture, and then rushed into Qin Lang's room with an excited look on her face.

"I'd like to see where you've hidden the precious spirit!"

"This seat is fine."

After looking around, Qin Lang stood near the edge of the venue. Behind him was the railing of the top deck of the cruise ship. As the cruise ship set sail, a refreshing river breeze blew in.

"This location?" Di You looked surprised. "Idol, isn't this a bit too remote?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the entrance almost opposite Qin Lang's location, which was the only entrance from the next floor to the top floor.

"Visitors who want to come to the food fair will definitely pass through that entrance, so the stalls near the entrance will get the most foot traffic."

"And the location you've chosen is almost the furthest from the entrance, so naturally the foot traffic is the lowest."

"Many tourists eat their fill and turn back before even reaching this point."

Di You brought Qin Lang ahead of time, hoping to help him get a good spot, but who would have thought that Qin Lang would choose almost the worst spot.

"Yes, Qin Lang, why don't you reconsider?" Cao Dongdong couldn't help but say, "With your cooking skills, you should be in the front row."

"No need." Qin Lang shook his head, feeling the wind blowing behind him, a mysterious smile appearing on his face. "Who said this spot is bad?"

"This is a fantastic location."

Normally, foot traffic is a factor to consider when choosing a stall, but at this moment they are on the top deck of a cruise ship.

The cruise ship's direction of travel is fixed, which means the wind direction is fixed.

The location he has chosen is upwind of the entire venue.

If the food you choose is of a very strong aroma...

Other chefs participating in the food exhibition are on their own.
