The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 439 The Legendary Gift

"The legendary gift?"

Qin Lang was taken aback. "What is that?"

“I know that!” Zuo Ge chuckled and raised his hand. “The so-called gift of legend refers to the food-eating tools that are left behind by legendary creatures and evolved from special parts of their bodies.”

"A Spirit-eating tool?" Qin Lang looked thoughtful. "So this thing can be used by Spirit-eating creatures?"

“That’s right!” Zuo Ge nodded emphatically, then changed the subject, “As for the specifics of how to use it, I don’t know, after all…”

"I don't have any food spirits!"

Hearing his self-righteous words, everyone fell silent.

"You rascal!" Cao Dongdong couldn't help but wrap his arm around his neck. "You only have a half-baked understanding, so just let Fatima say it!"

"Waaah... I also want to prove my erudition!" Zuo Ge's aggrieved expression made everyone smile.

“Zog is right,” Fatima said calmly. “The gifts of legend are spirit-eating tools from legendary beings.”

"The vast majority of legendary beings have corresponding legendary gifts. These legendary gifts are permanent items, and theoretically, given enough time, they can continuously give birth to new ones."

"Therefore, such props are found in many places."

"But because legendary creatures rarely appear in front of humans, the gifts of legend are still scarce and precious, each worth hundreds of millions."

"Its usage is somewhat similar to that of attribute gems; both are carried directly by the Food Spirit, and each Food Spirit can only carry one."

"Once you carry it, the Food Spirit will receive a corresponding boost. As for the specific effects of the boost, each legendary gift is different."

"Looking at it this way, they're quite generous." Cao Dongdong nodded seriously, then couldn't help but complain.

"Forget about the Silver Oriole, but Xiao Cai has been with us for so long, shouldn't everyone get a fish scale?"

"You only dare to talk like this after Xiao Cai left, right?"

Zhao Qian rolled her eyes. "During the time Xiao Cai has been with us, Qin Lang has been feeding it the finest rice. Moreover, Qin Lang even gave the Nightmare Monster that stream of water to help it defeat the Nightmare Monster."

"That must be something very precious for Xiao Cai to give back a scale of her own."

"As for the Azure Silver Oriole, that should be a return gift to thank Qin Lang for helping to return the Azure Silver Pearl to its rightful owner."

"But...it is indeed very enviable." As she said this, Zhao Qian showed an expectant and curious expression.

"Qin Lang, why don't we try out the effects of the two items?"

"Okay." Qin Lang nodded slightly and casually handed the Leaping Scale and the Azure Silver Feather to Danbao and Lala, who were also looking on with anticipation.

The two food spirits have been carrying fire and spirit attribute gems, which conflict with the food spirit items, so the gems need to be removed first.

After removing the attribute gem, Egg Baby was the first to approach the Leaping Scale, touched it to his forehead, and picked up the item.

A beautiful fish scale mark appeared on its forehead.

On the other side, Lala chose the Azure Silver Feather, and after equipping it, an equally exquisite feather mark appeared on her forehead.

After completing the process, the two food spirits briefly sensed the contents and then revealed expressions of immense surprise and delight.

"Grrrrrr!"

"Cha-cha-cha!"

"Hmm?" Qin Lang smiled upon hearing this. "After Egg Baby acquired the Leap Scale, its physical strength has been greatly enhanced."

"The Azure Silver Feather that Lala carries amplifies its speed." Because of Egg Baby's [Second Strike Advantage] trait, increasing speed is a negative effect for it; stamina is more meaningful for this tank.

Lala is a fast attacker who focuses on speed and attack, and increasing her speed will give her a greater advantage in going first.

As for the effects of having the first move advantage, just think about what skills Lala has.

[Fearful Gaze] [Forgotten Magic] [Soul Slash]

Unexpectedly, both Food Spirits randomly chose Food Spirit items that were more suitable for them.

“It seems that both of these legendary gifts increase flavor stats, and not in a balanced way, but rather in a specific area,” Fatima adjusted her glasses. “These increased flavor stats can also be further amplified with skills, so…”

"Do you need to take a test?"

As she spoke, she took out a taste tester about the size of a palm.

"This is much smaller than the testing equipment in the association!" Qin Lang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

“The Feli region is renowned throughout the entire Food Spirit world for its advanced technology, so this portable flavor detector is nothing special.” Fatima shook her head, then added, “In time, flavor detection will also be integrated into the next generation of Food Spirit scanners.”

"That's very convenient." Qin Lang couldn't help but sigh, and then handed the two food spirits to Fatima for testing.

The test results came back quickly.

"Egg Baby's stamina is..." Fatima paused slightly, a look of obvious surprise appearing in her eyes, "120 points?"

"The improvement is quite significant." Qin Lang stroked his chin. "Danbao's stamina was originally 90 points, and it has increased by 30 points in one go."

As a result, Egg Baby's flavor value increased directly from 270 points to 300 points, making it comparable to some revitalized food spirits with lower flavor values.

“This is no ordinary improvement.” Zhong Tu, who was well-informed, couldn’t help but speak up. “As far as I know, only a few Renewed Food Spirits that specialize in physical strength can have more than 120 points of physical strength.”

"Your Food Spirit hasn't even been reborn yet, but with the help of the items, it has already reached the top level of a reborn Food Spirit. That's quite terrifying."

“LaLa’s speed has also reached 110 points.” Fatima then checked LaLa’s condition and fell silent again.

What does a speed of 110 points mean?
It can be said that 99% of the food spirits are slower than Lala, and in a standoff, Lala can always strike first.

Lala herself is a spirit-type character who is always elusive, and many of her combat skills come with various negative effects.

"It also increased by 30 points..." Qin Lang revealed a knowing look.

In this way, the spiciness level also increases to 300 points.

The gift that Leaping Fish and Silver Oriole gave before they left was quite substantial.

Qin Lang couldn't help but look in the direction the two had left.

The two legendary creatures could no longer be seen on the horizon.

It's certain that Xiao Cai won't sneak into his fish tank again this time, because it has found its companion.

"Oh right, I almost forgot something."

Qin Lang patted his head, then suddenly remembered something.

Immediately afterwards, he entered a state of introspection again.

The situation was urgent, and he only had time to look at the reward after checking in on the seventeenth painting. He hadn't even had time to check the reward for the eighteenth painting, which he had already successfully checked in on before!
