The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 512 Red-Warm Lomi

"real?!"

Upon hearing Meng Chang's words, Qin Lang immediately showed excitement, but then, as if he had thought of something, he looked troubled.

"But don't I still need to assess you?"

"Don't worry." Meng Chang smiled slightly. "My assessment won't be too difficult. The mutual aid organization will have a lower threshold for spirit chefs who possess rare spirits."

"Oh, by the way," Meng Chang suddenly smiled, "You said on the phone that you possess a rare spirit... Could I see it?"

As he spoke, his gaze involuntarily fell on Egg Baby, who remained outside the Star Vein.

As far as I can remember, Qin Lang never seemed to have taken this Food Spirit back to the Star Vein. On the contrary, another Food Spirit would occasionally return to the Star Vein.

Based on his understanding of the rare spirits' temporary abode in the star vein, everything seemed to make sense.

"No problem!" Qin Lang readily agreed, and then summoned the chubby little chicken that had been transferred from the Traveler's Book to the Star Vein.

"Cluck cluck~" the little chubby chicken clucked listlessly, looking resentful.

Why is Egg Baby unwilling to return to the Star Vein? It's because the Traveler's Book occupies most of the space in the Tian Shu Star Vein, making the Star Vein extremely crowded.

For Little Fatty Chicken, the experience of temporarily residing in the Star Pulse was the same.

Moreover, it had long been used to staying in the chicken coop in the Traveler's Book. Suddenly entering the Star Pulse was like falling from heaven to hell, so it would be strange if it was in good spirits.

Of course, this is also the effect Qin Lang needs.

After summoning it for only a moment, Qin Lang cautiously recalled the little chubby chicken.

Mengchang's eyes lit up completely.

Seeing the little chubby chicken only confirmed that Qin Lang possessed a rare spirit, but what excited him even more was the little chubby chicken's condition.

That wasn't a good state, indicating that Qin Lang wasn't very attentive to this rare spirit, and even occasionally forced it to consume itself to produce rare ingredients.

This attitude coincided with that of their rare animal hunting team.

In addition, Qin Lang had just agreed with him, and also harbored a certain degree of dissatisfaction with the association.

Qin Lang was born to be a member of their treasure hunting team!
Thinking of this, Meng Chang took a deep breath.

"Now, let's talk about your assessment."
-
"Was that Qin Lang's precious spirit just now?"

Not far from the coffee shop, Lomi used binoculars to watch Qin Lang and Meng Chang sitting there. Having witnessed everything that had just happened, she couldn't help but purse her lips, "That rare spirit doesn't look too good."

"Really?" Liu Chuang, who was standing to the side, put down his binoculars and looked puzzled.

Then, he quickly realized, "You have this feeling because you haven't seen what this precious spirit looked like back then."

“This rare spirit has gained at least two sizes since it started following Qin Lang.”

"You think this is considered bad form?"

"At most, it's just that I'm in a bad mood!"

At this point, Liu Chuang couldn't help but grit his teeth, "Damn it, Qin Lang got a lot of rare ingredients from this chicken spirit."

"We even sneaked onto a cruise ship before and managed to get our hands on some premium chicken legs!"

Thinking of the delicious taste of that chicken leg, Liu Chuang swallowed hard. "Just a little bit more, just a little bit more back then, that chicken Zhenling would have been mine!"

"Alright, stop talking." Lomi rolled her eyes, secretly swallowing as well. "Is that the point?"

"The key point is that Qin Lang showed Zhen Ling to Meng Chang!"

“Just two days ago, Qin Lang had contact with that guy Long Yu!” As she said this, Luo Mi clicked her tongue as she looked at the two chatting and laughing in the coffee shop.

"Do you think... Qin Lang might be planning to join us?"

"Huh?" Liu Chuang's expression immediately became interesting. "I disagree!"

“He’s our mission target. What will happen to our mission if he joins the treasure hunting team?” “…You really have a unique way of thinking.” Lomi sighed. “I was just saying.”

"Meng Chang probably wants to invite Qin Lang to join the Treasure Hunting Team. Don't forget that the cooking competition was originally held to recruit new members for the Treasure Hunting Team."

"It's quite normal that Qin Lang won the competition and was noticed by Meng Chang."

"Now that Mengchang has seen Qin Lang's precious spirit, he will definitely do his best to bring Qin Lang to our treasure hunting team."

"But... there's no way Qin Lang will join the treasure hunting team."

"That seems to be true." Liu Chuang looked thoughtful. "Given Qin Lang's personality, it's unlikely he would voluntarily join the treasure hunting team."

“But…” He glanced at the two people chatting and laughing in the coffee shop, “why are Qin Lang and Meng Chang having such a pleasant conversation?”

"If Qin Lang wasn't after joining the organization..." Lomi began quietly, "then what do you think his motives were?"

Liu Chuang thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he slammed his fist into his palm. "I know!"

"Qin Lang and Meng Chang are talking about cooking!"

"Slap!" Lomi slapped Liu Chuang on the back of the head.

“Foolish junior, you are utterly foolish.”

"Of course it's to be an undercover agent!" She rolled her eyes. "Meng Yan and the others were arrested a few days ago. The security management team definitely wants to take down the temporary base in Xianyu City as well, but they haven't found the base yet."

"So Qin Lang approached Meng Chang in order to find the location of the base!"

Liu Chuang was taken aback, then slammed his hand on the table and stood up, exclaiming, "That cunning fellow!"

"Alright! We have no right to judge others..." Lomi rubbed her temples. "The question now is, should we remind the people at the base?"

"What if Qin Lang really takes down the base..."

"Are we going to get labeled as jinxes again?"

"Then... let me remind you?" Liu Chuang couldn't help but say, "Although those guys in the base ostracize us, they are still members of the organization after all."

"alright."

Somewhat annoyed, Lomi picked up the organization's communicator, glanced at Meng Chang who was chatting and laughing with Qin Lang, and then chose to dial Long Yu, the number two person in the base.

"beep--"

After a soft click, the call was connected on the other end.

"Lord Long Yu, I am..."

Before Lomi could even introduce herself, Long Yu's icy voice came from the other end of the line, "I know you are Lomi."

"I just forgot to tell you, the situation at the base has been quite tense lately, so you and your partner don't need to come back to the base, lest you bring disaster to the entire base."

"After all, your past 'achievements' were quite remarkable."

"Do not contact the base unless it is absolutely necessary."

After saying that, Long Yu hung up the phone abruptly.

On the other end of the phone, Lomi's face visibly flushed.

"Boom!"

She slammed the communicator to the ground, then jumped up and stomped on it hard, yelling, "Screw you! Just because you're an officer doesn't mean you're all that!"

"You guys are just waiting to get what you deserve!"

"If I tip you off again, I'll be a dog!"
