The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 314 Run! There's a torpedo!

The snowboard, which was originally facing the slope, began to twist its angle as he exerted extra force with one foot. This twist also changed Qin Lang's gliding trajectory from a straight descent to an angled glide.

The gliding speed suddenly increased, but Qin Lang's expression remained calm.

He started using his other foot to twist the tilted board to the right, and then continued to twist it to the other side.

As a result, the gliding speed slowed down and then accelerated again, but the gliding tilt direction was completely opposite to before.

A clear "<" mark appeared on the snow slope.

The tension brought about by the sudden acceleration also affected the two Food Spirits in the special vehicle. Both Egg Treasure and Spicy couldn't help but let out joyful and excited cheers.

"Are you familiar with this feeling?"

Qin Lang brought the snowboard sideways again, its back edge embedded in the snow slope, and looked down at the two little ones, a smile spreading across his face.

"Then we need to speed things up!"

He pressed down on his snowboard again, quickly leaving a "Z" shaped track on the snow slope. As he glided, Qin Lang's movements gradually increased.

The angle of his snowboard tilted greater and greater, and his speed increased, yet his movements became increasingly agile.

Straight downhill, S-curve, double-foot jump, grabbing the board—Qin Lang incorporated one move after another into his gliding, and as he sped down the snow slope, he was like a fallen leaf dancing in the wind.

The cold wind, carrying frost and snow, slammed into his body, but was completely blocked by his thick windproof coat. Feeling the thrill of his center of gravity dropping rapidly, Qin Lang couldn't help but shout out.

“Wuhu!!!”

His voice echoed across the open snow-covered slope, met with equally excited cheers from Danbao and Lala.

"I never knew Qin Lang was such a good skier."

Cao Dongdong stared wide-eyed at the lithe figure descending the slope.

He felt a surge of excitement, eager to have a snow slope race with his opponent right away.

"Dongdong! Help! Help! Help!"

A voice, filled with anxiety and a hint of fear, came from the side, making Cao Dongdong sigh, "They're here, they're here!"

He braced himself with his ski poles and used them to glide lightly toward Zuo Ge, who was not far away, and grabbed him just as he was about to fall to the ground again.

"I told you that snowboarding is more suitable for beginners, but you insisted on using a double snowboard like me."

“That was too hasty,” Zog sighed.

He thought that having ski poles would make it easier to control the direction of his skis, but he found out that it wasn't like that at all when he actually tried it.

His feet, each on a separate snowboard, seemed to have a mind of their own. The slightest twist would cause the originally parallel skis to quickly turn into a V-shape, and as he slid, the angle would increase until he finally fell to the ground.

"How about we switch to a solid snowboard?" Cao Dongdong offered a sincere suggestion. "Look, Qin Lang is also using a solid snowboard."

Zuo Ge opened his mouth, about to nod, when Zhao Qian suddenly exclaimed, "Fatima, you're actually so good at skiing!"

Cao Dongdong and Zuo Ge turned their heads at the same time and saw Fatima skiing quickly over on her skis, stopping after a beautiful swing.

Beside her was Zhao Qian, who looked surprised.

“I specifically learned this skill to enter a legendary ruin located in a snowfield region,” Fatima said calmly, adjusting her glasses. “Boarding allows me to better handle complex snowy environments.”

"I'll choose the double-board!"

Zuo Ge, who was originally planning to switch back to a single-board snowboard, spoke up without hesitation.

He refused to believe that he couldn't learn what Fatima could learn!
"Teacher Dongdong, please teach me how to ski!"

“Okay, then you can start learning from the very basics with me.” Cao Dongdong grinned, clearly pleased by Zuo Ge’s address of “Teacher Dongdong.” “First, place your skis horizontally against the snow slope, and I’ll teach you how to walk on them.”

"Yes, yes, that's it..."

"Yes, Not Bad!"

"..." After some patient guidance, Zuo Ge finally grasped some of the essentials of skiing, and was at least able to maintain stable control of his skis during simple skiing maneuvers.

He carefully slid down the slope alone, and as time went by, an excited expression gradually appeared on his face. "Just two boards, I'll take them down!"

Cao Dongdong had somehow slipped behind Zuo Ge, and upon hearing this, quietly placed both hands on Zuo Ge's shoulders. "Now, let's speed things up!"

Zuo Ge's smile froze.

"Wait a minute... huh?"

Feeling the thrust from behind and his own sudden acceleration, Zuo Ge couldn't help but let out a gasp.

"Eh!!!"

"Skiing is more exciting when it's fast!" Cao Dongdong said with a smile, controlling his ski poles and quickly catching up with Zuo Ge, who was wildly waving his ski poles.

"Hold on tight! Otherwise you'll fall again!"

"Cao! Dong! Dong!!!"

Zuo Ge's voice became somewhat shrill due to panic.

"These two guys." Zhao Qian shook her head helplessly as she watched the two sliding down the snow slope, then looked at Fatima beside her.

"Let's hurry and catch up."
-

"Wuhu~"

With a cheer, Qin Lang stopped his snowboard at the bottom of the slope, the large cloud of snow kicked up by the drift was particularly beautiful.

"It feels really good."

He couldn't help but sigh, looking at Danbao and Lala, who were also having a blast. "Shall we take the cable car back to the top of the snow slope and do it again?"

"Guru Guru~"

"Chapter!"

The two food spirits nodded in unison, their expressions showing excitement and anticipation.

Qin Lang was about to say something when he suddenly heard a cry of alarm coming from the slope, "Watch out! Get out of the way!!"

He quickly looked up and saw a somewhat blurry figure rolling down the snow slope, almost turning into a large snowball.

That speed was much faster than any other skier's!
torpedo?!
Qin Lang's expression changed.

The "torpedoes" in the context of ski resorts don't refer to actual torpedoes, but rather to skiers who fall and lose control, continuing to slide downhill. If these skiers collide with other skiers...

"Come on!"

Qin Lang was terrified. He grabbed his skis and turned to run. Seeing that he couldn't escape, he simply lunged onto the snow in front of him.

Almost the instant Qin Lang lay down, the large snowball grazed past his feet and crashed into a large rock not far away.

"Oh my god!" Zuo Ge, skiing down the slope on his skis, awkwardly used his ski poles to slow down and stop. Looking at the horrific scene in the distance, he couldn't help but show a look of lingering fear. "Dongdong, are you alright?"

"What? You're saying this is something?" Qin Lang had just gotten up when he heard this and his eyes widened. He looked at the distance as if he had seen a ghost.

Didn't this guy say he was a really good skier?

The snowball exploded upon hitting the rock, revealing the pitiful Cao Dongdong inside.

"I'm fine!" Cao Dongdong swayed as he stood up, then quickly collapsed back down with a "thud." "I'm so dizzy!"

Qin Lang: “…”

Left pane: "..."
