The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 504 The Seizure of Hai Sheng Yan Catering
Completely unaware of how the two members of the treasure hunting team were lamenting the loss of the precious spirit they had obtained, Qin Lang and his group felt sorry for the chili spirit that had appeared and then escaped in the chaos. Soon after, they were full and went home.

After everyone else had left the room, Qin Lang slowly closed his eyes and entered a state of inner vision.

During the first song of the concert, he successfully completed the twentieth painting of the Traveler's Book, but hadn't had time to claim his reward yet.

Upon entering the Traveler's Book, Qin Lang turned to the twentieth painting and then flipped through the pages.

The check-in reward, located on the back of the twentieth painting, appeared before his eyes.

Upon seeing the contents of the reward, Qin Lang's expression immediately turned to surprise.

Actually, this check-in wasn't difficult; he just needed to wait until the concert started to successfully check in. However, the reward was much more generous than he had expected, and it was a completely new situation that had never occurred before.

On the black pages of the book, there is a top-grade fire attribute gem and a top-grade spirit attribute gem.

Egg Treasure and Spicy have just used up all their previous attribute gems, so now they can only wear the Legendary Gift every day. However, the Legendary Gift can only temporarily increase the Food Spirit's Flavor Value and does not help the Food Spirit's growth.

Two new attribute gems have arrived just in time.

More importantly, there are two rewards this time.

"Could it be because of the number '20'?" Qin Lang couldn't help but ponder. "Thinking about it carefully, '20' is quite a milestone."

"if it is like this…"

Qin Lang suddenly thought of something, and he flipped through the Traveler's Book, quickly turning to the tenth picture.

The tenth painting in the Traveler's Book depicts the moment he picks up the championship trophy of the Tianhuazhou Youth Cooking Competition, and the reward for that challenge was equally extraordinary—a miraculous kitchen knife.

"Is it really true that every ten check-ins marks a new milestone?" Qin Lang couldn't help but wonder. "If that's the case, will there be more than one check-in reward in the future?"

Thinking of this, a sense of anticipation welled up in his heart.

He now has two Food Spirits, and there will be more in the future, but his progress in completing the Traveler's Book has not accelerated much.

If this continues, the rewards from the Traveler's Book will definitely not keep up with the speed at which he cultivates Food Spirits; in fact, this trend is already emerging.

The Star Stones that Qin Lang recently used on his two Food Spirits were mostly obtained through other means, not from the Traveler's Book.

If he can get more rewards for checking in the Traveler's Book in the future, and the rewards become more and more generous, he will be able to raise more Food Spirits.

"Never mind, I should know after checking in a few more times." Suppressing his wandering thoughts, Qin Lang turned the book back to the last page.

I was so excited that I didn't have time to see the newly unlocked scenery.

Soon, the twenty-first painting appeared before his eyes.

In the distance of the picture is a boundless sea, and in the foreground is a river that flows into the sea. On both sides of the river are grasslands, shrubs and flowers.

“This should be a river estuary,” Qin Lang said thoughtfully, “but apart from that, there doesn’t seem to be any other indication.”

Thinking of this, Qin Lang grabbed the check-in reward and exited the internal vision state.

After handing the two top-grade attribute gems to the jubilant Egg Baby and Spicy, he casually opened the map of String Fish City.

The main river of Stringfish City is a river called the East Stringfish River. It originates from Leapfish Lake, runs vertically from north to south, dividing the entire Stringfish City in two, and eventually flows through Stringfish City into Crownling City, and from Crownling City into the sea.

"It shouldn't be this one."

After recalling the situation at Dongxian River, Qin Lang shook his head.

In the past few days, in order to investigate the situation of Chili Spirit, he took a trip around Xianyu Market, naturally crossing the Dongxian River along the way.

This is a very wide river. If the twenty-first painting corresponds to the estuary of the Dongxian River, its scale should be much larger than depicted in the painting. "It should be one of its tributaries," Qin Lang said, stroking his chin.

The Dongxian River is the main waterway of Xianyu City, but it has branched out into many tributaries, many of which eventually flow into the seawater of Qili Bay.

Perhaps the image corresponds to the estuary of one of the tributaries flowing into the sea.

"We can only investigate this slowly."

After closing the map, Qin Lang's gaze returned to Danbao and Lala.

The two food spirits had already removed the legendary gifts and were eagerly replacing them with new attribute gems.

"These two gems should be enough for you until the next star upgrade," Qin Lang smiled. "It's getting late, we should go to sleep."

"We have to go out tomorrow morning!"

Egg Baby blinked, casting a questioning look at him.

"Gulu?"

Haven't we already searched all the areas where rare spirits are said to appear?
"Chapter chapter~"

Where to go tomorrow?

Spicy wiggled her long ears, her eyes also filled with questioning and curiosity.

"Of course we'll go to the Public Security Management Team." Qin Lang chuckled. "We caught four members of the Rare Animal Hunting Team today, I'm sure the Public Security Management Team will find something."

"So we'll go ask about the results of Hai Sheng Yan's investigation tomorrow."

As he spoke, Qin Lang pulled Danbao and Lala into his arms on either side and snapped the lights off.

"go to bed!"
-
"Hello, we're looking for Captain Lin."

The next day, Qin Lang and his two companions, along with Tang Yu, eagerly arrived at the security management team early in the morning.

"Captain Lin is in his office. You can just go there." Another member of the security team said with a smile. He was also present yesterday and had already recognized Qin Lang and the others. "Thank you for your help yesterday."

"Of course." Qin Lang smiled and followed the other person's directions to Lin Ping's office, knocking on the office door.

"Come in." Lin Ping's slightly tired voice came from inside the office.

Qin Lang and the others pushed open the door and entered. Inside sat Zhang Hui and Lin Ping.

However, neither of them looked too happy.

"You've arrived." Lin Ping's expression softened upon seeing Qin Lang and the others. "I really appreciate your help yesterday."

"If the hunting team has indeed caused casualties, we will all be held responsible." Lin Ping sighed. "We have been investigating the hunting team's whereabouts, but we never expected them to be so brazen."

After making that remark, Lin Ping forced a smile. "You're here to inquire about the investigation?"

"Yes." Qin Lang nodded. "Captain Lin, I wonder about Hai Sheng Yan's situation..."

"It seems you didn't go to Hai Sheng Yan today." Lin Ping paused for a moment. "We obtained direct evidence of collusion between Hai Sheng Yan Catering and the Treasure Hunting Team, and we shut down Hai Sheng Yan Catering early this morning."

"All those involved have been apprehended. In addition to the head chef and owner of Haishengyan Restaurant, there is another participant named Wang Lixuan."

Qin Lang and the others were delighted upon hearing this.
