The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 373 The Resounding Alarm

"What the hell is this!"

After quickly flipping through the "Legend of the Hero of Light" handed to her by Zuo Ge, Wei Shasha's expression immediately turned to a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"The contents of this book are all fictitious."

"There's no such thing as breaking off an engagement. My ancestors weren't even from any family. It's all made up."

"This isn't real?" Zoge clutched his chest in anguish. Just yesterday, he thought it was the most dramatic legend he had ever read.

"Do not!!!"

Cao Dongdong's pain was no less than Zuo Ge's; he had completely immersed himself in Wei Ran's story. "Tell me, is this true!"

“No, it’s not…” Wei Shasha shook her head helplessly, then changed the subject, “However, the part about the evil nightingale is true.”

“My ancestor Wei Ran did indeed defeat the evil Nightingale, and thus earned the title of Hero of Light.” Wei Shasha said with pride in her eyes. “Perhaps it is for this reason that many stories about heroes are based on my ancestor and reinterpreted.”

"The one you are looking at is one of them."

“I didn’t expect that you would consider the story in this book to be a true legend.” Di You, standing to the side, had a somewhat strange expression.

Didn't my dad tell you that?

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly remembered that Di Zhao had personally mentioned yesterday that he liked to read all sorts of books.

I initially thought this was a humble remark, but it turns out it really is a jumbled mess!
Seeing the complicated expressions on everyone's faces, Qin Lang couldn't help but smile.

He felt something was off when he heard the story yesterday.

Sure enough, this is not a proper legend at all.

"Let's take a look around inside Lanjinyuan first."

Hearing Qin Lang's words, the others also came to their senses.

There's no time to grieve for Wei Ran, the protagonist of the story "Never underestimate a young man's potential," as the next to appear is Lan Jin Garden, the largest garden in Mingjing Prefecture!

“Let’s go this way!” Wei Shasha led the group familiarly to a secluded path with few tourists, explaining as they walked, “The normal sightseeing paths are crowded with tourists, so this is a hidden path that not many people know about.”

“I’m one of them.” Di You raised an eyebrow and took over the conversation. “When I was little, I often came here to play with Sasha. I know this road very well.”

“That’s not necessarily true.” Wei Shasha covered her mouth and smiled. “This road was recently modified and adjusted. You haven’t been here before.”

"Uh... okay." Di You scratched his head.

Luckily, he met Wei Shasha this time, otherwise he, as a local guide, would have been embarrassed.

"Wow, those landscaping displays are so beautiful!" Zhao Qian suddenly exclaimed, quickly walked to the night-blooming jasmine display in front of her, and started snapping photos with her camera.

"These landscapings are indeed very beautiful." Qin Lang couldn't help but exclaim as he stepped forward, leading Danbao and Lala to admire them.

Clusters of night-blooming cereus flowers formed various small animals and human figures in different poses on a large open space. Amidst the rich fragrance of the orchids, it was as if everyone had entered a fairy tale world.

“These orchids show no signs of pruning, nor any shaping supports or other aids.” Fatima walked up to the nearest night-blooming cereus and examined it. “They seem to have grown naturally like this.”

"This is one of the twenty-one must-see attractions in Lanjin Garden, the Orchid Statue Area," Wei Shasha introduced with a smile. "The orchid statues here were formed under the influence of extraordinary power, so they look very natural."

"A change in extraordinary power?" Qin Lang's eyes lit up with interest. "Could it be that rare spirit in Lan Jin Garden?"

"That's right, it's the Flower Fairy."

Wei Shasha nodded, then explained, "The Little Flower Fairy is the precious spirit born from the rare night-blooming jasmine in our Lan Jin Garden."

"However, it cannot be displayed outside, so it cannot be visited."

"It's alright." Qin Lang chuckled. "A precious spirit is an independent being, not a plaything to be observed. Of course, we can't go against its will." "Huh?" Wei Shasha glanced at Qin Lang with some surprise, clearly not expecting him to say such a thing.

“Sasha, you don’t know this yet, do you?” Di You said with a smile, “Qin Lang is the champion of the Tianhua Prefecture Youth Cooking Competition, and he also has access to rare ingredients. He must have seen a lot of rare spirits.”

"I guess so," Qin Lang nodded.

However, it wasn't that I had seen them before; rather, I was carrying three with me at that moment.

"I didn't know you were so amazing!" Wei Shasha's eyes lit up, and she looked at Qin Lang with more admiration.

After Zhao Qian excitedly finished taking photos, and the others had almost finished their visit, Wei Shasha took the opportunity to lead everyone to the next attraction.

Just then, a sharp alarm sounded through the loudspeaker in Lanjinyuan, echoing throughout the entire park.

Wei Shasha stopped abruptly, her expression turning tense.

"What's wrong?" Di You looked around and couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know, something must have happened at Lan Jin Garden." Wei Shasha's pretty face tightened as she picked up the phone. "Let me ask..."

Before she could even dial the number, the alarm stopped abruptly.

However, Wei Shasha still dialed the number.

After asking some questions, she hung up the phone, and her expression visibly relaxed.

"never mind."

“A new staff member accidentally triggered the alarm.”
-
"Perfect infiltration!"

Taking advantage of the brief chaos at the entrance of Lanjinyuan caused by the alarm, Liu Chuang pulled Luo Mi and sneaked into the park. After walking about a hundred meters away, they both breathed a sigh of relief and clapped hands in mid-air.

"Lomi, your plan is brilliant!"

"Kukuku~" Lomi curled the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a smug expression, "It wasn't for nothing that I spent so much time preparing yesterday."

"When the alarm sounds, the ticket checkpoint will be temporarily thrown into chaos, which will allow us to enter the park smoothly."

"We are determined to obtain the precious spirit of Lan Jinyuan!"

“That’s right, that’s it!” Liu Chuang nodded emphatically, and then he saw Luo Mi raise her hand and catch a small drone flying down from the sky.

"This is?"

“Aerial camera device.” Lomi’s expression was calm. “When the alarm sounds, security personnel will go to Zhenling’s location immediately.”

"By observing their movements through this device, we can pinpoint the possible location of the spirits more quickly and speed up the investigation."

“Foolish junior, learn from this!”

Liu Chuang gave Luo Mi a thumbs up, then suddenly remembered something, "Qin Lang and the others also seem to have entered Lan Jin Garden today."

"There won't be any accidents, right?"

The two shuddered at the thought of the terrifying leaping fish.

“No way!” Lomi shook her head violently.

"Our target today isn't that Qin Lang guy!"

"There's no way something unexpected could happen!"
