A Bite of Douluo Continent

"Alright, hurry up and come back. That kid's been looking for you like crazy." Rong Nianbing chuckled, then waved his hand, and Ruyi disappeared from the pavilion.

“Not bad…” Rong Nianbing pondered for a moment, then chuckled, “Just consider it as having another daughter.”

"I need to have more daughters with my dear wives. Daughters are so cute, I want to have more daughters next time..."

Rong Nianbing's figure disappeared into the pavilion.

"My dear wives, I'm here!"

谷…

"Ruyi? Ru..."

"They're here, they're here."

After calling out to Ruyi countless times, Qi Han felt an unprecedented sense of bewilderment, but fortunately, he finally received Ruyi's response.

Since he transmigrated, Ruyi has always been by his side. He can hardly imagine what he would become without Ruyi.

Qi Han vanished from the bed in an instant and reappeared in the training space. Only when he saw Ruyi's familiar figure did he breathe a sigh of relief. "Where did you go just now?"

"I was summoned by the system creator, so I was temporarily out of contact." Looking at Qi Han, who looked anxious, a complex look flashed across Ruyi's eyes. "I'm fine now."

"It's alright now." Qi Han scratched his head, then suddenly paused, "You just said, the system creator?"

Ruyi had never mentioned this word before, and Qi Han was quite taken aback when he heard it for the first time.

But upon closer reflection, he suddenly realized.

Such a magical system could not possibly have come into existence out of thin air.

In that case, the being who created Ruyi could be considered my benefactor?

Qi Han immediately became interested. "Ruyi, who is the person who created you? Can you tell me about him?"

“No.” Ruyi shook her head. “You only have the authority to know anything about him if you reach the level of a master chef.”

"Ah..." Qi Han scratched his head, "Okay, so what did he want to talk to you about?"

"It's related to your carving skills being upgraded to the perfect level."

"I see. No wonder I couldn't find you after my carving skills improved. What exactly happened?"

"After your carving skills reach perfection, you will become the successor of the system's creator."

hiss…

Qi Han gasped, "Is it one of those beings, like a successor to a god?"

“Not bad.” Ruyi nodded. “After reaching the Special Grade, you will officially undergo his assessment. If you pass the assessment, you will take over his position and receive his inheritance. Right now, you only have the initial qualifications to be an inheritor and cannot receive the inheritance yet.”

"That's not bad either." Qi Han nodded with a grin.

He's not stupid. To create such a miraculous system, the creator must be a god-level powerhouse, and not a weak one at that.

Strength doesn't matter, but gods can live forever.

Qi Han expressed his envy of the legendary immortality!

"Then, the system creator has a gift for you, as a... welcoming gift for you to obtain the qualification of inheritor." Ruyi's face showed a smile, and then she handed Qi Han a slender and exquisite dark blue knife.

"Another gift?" Qi Han was delighted. A gift from a god would surely be something special. He carefully took the knife and examined it. "What a beautiful knife, but it looks like a carving knife?"

The knife in his hand was five inches long, with a small blade. The blade was the same length as the handle, and the front half of the blade emitted a faint, eerie blue light. The side of the blade was also engraved with ferocious patterns, making it look exceptionally cool.

"This knife is a replica of a certain super artifact. It's a one-time talisman that can activate and release the power of a quasi-god level once. If you don't use this power, it can also be used as a carving knife for daily use." Knowing that Qi Han didn't understand the meaning of quasi-god, Ruyi explained again, "Even a powerhouse at the Limit Douluo level would be annihilated by this attack."

Got it, this is a one-time super trump card!

Qi Han carefully took the knife and immediately stored it in the system space. "In that case, let's call it Blue Spirit Death!"

Blue Spirit Dies…

Ruyi's face twitched.

This guy's naming skills are really bad!

Chapter 451 What the hell is this? (Seeking monthly votes and recommendations)

Although this knife is a good thing for Qi Han, he can't use it for the time being.

So after putting the knife into the system space and chuckling to himself for a while, Qi Han forced himself to calm down and walked out of the training space.

This is the last day of business; we have to hold on as much as possible.

Stepping out of the system space, Qi Han checked Ye Lingqing's daily practice as usual.

He'll be completing the eighth main quest soon, and by then he'll be able to start teaching Ye Lingqing some lunch and dinner recipes.

Of course, this is all on the premise that the ninth main quest doesn't cause any trouble. If the ninth main quest is like the previous Star Luo City quest, and inexplicably makes me run to Tian Dou City to open a shop or something, then the plan to teach Ye Lingqing will have to be delayed.

However, nothing particularly noteworthy has happened in Tiandou City recently, so it shouldn't be that serious.

Half a day of business was a piece of cake for Qi Han now. After the late-night snack business ended, Qi Han sent Ye Lingqing to sleep, then happily carried Gulu into his room and opened the brand-new task interface.

With the last second of the late-night snack business ending, the main quest eight, which had been anticipated for a full hundred days, was finally completed, and new main and side quests appeared as well.

He hadn't even had a chance to look at it yet, but as soon as the task interface opened, he couldn't wait to start checking it out.

Main Quest 8: Strive for 100 Days (Completed)

Task Rewards: Soul Power Level +2 (Claimable), 1 four-star random recipe (Claimable), 5 three-star selectable recipe fragments (Claimable).

Um... not this one.

Qi Han casually tossed aside the main quest he had already completed.

Although the rewards for all three tasks were very tempting, he had already spent two hundred days on the main quest eight and felt no excitement whatsoever. In contrast, he was more curious about what the main quest nine would be like.

Hopefully it's not some weird or strange thing...

Holy crap, what the hell is this?

Main Quest Nine: A Journey Through the Sun and Moon

Please travel to the Sun and Moon Continent, operate under the name of Cold Food for more than thirty days, and save enough money for your return journey.

Mission Description: There's not much to describe, we just want the host to make an appearance on the Sun and Moon Continent.

Quest Rewards: Soul Power Level +2, 1 four-star random recipe, 2 three-star random recipes.

Upon seeing this task, Qi Han's expression changed immediately.

He remembered that the Sun and Moon Continent hadn't arrived yet at this time, right?

What are you doing going over there?

And this task description…

What does it mean to "go to the Sun and Moon Continent to make an appearance"? It feels a bit strange.

"Ruyi? Aren't you going to explain?"

"Because this system has noticed that there is a poor old man in the Sun Moon Empire who longs to taste the deliciousness of Han Shi, it has decided to send Han Shi to the Sun Moon Continent to fulfill that poor old man's dream," Ruyi said with a smile.

"I feel like you're trying to fool me," Qi Han said, heartbroken. "What old man from the Sun Moon Empire would be longing for the delicious Cold Food Festival?"

"It really is true, you have to believe me."

...

"Ah!"

In the space beneath Mingde Hall, De Hongchen silently pinched his nose, "Getting old, even a level ten Soul Master can catch a cold..."

Immediately, he looked at the dozens of soul-guided rays in front of him that resonated with the same soul-guided structure and sighed softly, "I was originally thinking of delaying the release of this soul-guided array weapon for a few more months."

"That idiot Yao, how could he let it slip? Now he has no choice but to bring it up..."

"Ugh."

He reached out and gently stroked the soul-guided array weapon, a hint of sorrow on his face. "With it, the strength of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master Corps will increase by at least 30%."

"I shouldn't have brought this up in the first place. Although I managed to swindle enough rare metals to create something extraordinary, it sowed the seeds of today's disaster..."

"If any lives are lost, I will be the sinner, alas..."

"Fine, let's go get something good to eat and relax..."

"It's a pity we can't get our hands on that 'Cold Food' restaurant yet. The intelligence report describes it as so amazing, I really want to try it. In a few months, when Douluo Continent discovers this place and officially sends envoys there, should I find an excuse to go and have a taste too...?"

...

After some debate, Ruyi remained unwilling to reveal which elder of the Sun Moon Empire actually wanted to taste the delicious Cold Food Festival.

Sure enough, it was just an excuse.

Shaking his head, Qi Han quickly noticed a new problem, "Ruyi, what do you mean by earning enough for the return trip? By the way, how am I going to get there? By boat?"

"Just go through the teleportation portal, and we'll be on the Sun and Moon Continent in no time," Ruyi chuckled. "Quick, right?"

"Hmm... pretty fast." Qi Han remained calm on the surface, but inwardly he was exclaiming how awesome it was.

There's even such advanced technology? Isn't that a bit like the Anywhere Door?

"Then what about my travel expenses to come back?"

"The old teleportation portals were free because of the mission, but you'll have to pay to come back," Ruyi said with a grin. "Considering we've known each other for so long, I'll charge you one million gold soul coins."

"One million." Qi Han breathed a sigh of relief. "It's okay, I can pay for the return trip right now."

It's not like he can't afford a million gold soul coins. Qi Han already has tens of millions of gold soul coins in his savings. Although he feels a little heartache, there's nothing he can do to complete the mission.

"Wait a minute!" Ruyi blinked. "Please pay with Gold Soul Coins from the Sun and Moon Continent. Gold Soul Coins from the Douluo Continent cannot be used for payment."

"Huh... what does that mean?" Qi Han blinked, feeling like there was some inexplicable trap waiting for him.

“The Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent have not been connected for tens of thousands of years, and their currencies are not the same.” Ruyi began to explain, “Although the currencies of the Sun Moon Continent are also called gold, silver and copper soul coins, and the exchange rates of the three soul coins are exactly the same as here, after many evolutions, the soul coins of the two sides are now completely different in terms of both style and metal composition.”

"Because the two continents are not yet connected, you can't exchange your Gold Soul Coins for their currency."

"So..." Qi Han said quietly, "you want to tell me that as a top-tier tycoon with tens of millions of gold soul coins, I will become a penniless pauper in the future, right?"

"Then... I'll generously give you ten Sun and Moon Gold Soul Coins as a favor..."
