Players’ NPC daddy

After Herbie's consideration, the salty dark gourmet creatures collected in the outer circle were judged to be inedible by the treasure miners.

After deciding to provide the Salty Dark Gourmet Monster as food to the treasure miners, Herbie quickly entered professional mode and inspected the Salty Dark Gourmet Monster with the eyes of inspecting a commodity.

Herbie, who used to be the director of the Running Division, was quite good at this. To put it bluntly, the Running Division was responsible for delivering goods and running errands, but Herbie did not follow the beaten path. She called the Running Division the Everything Department.

Delivering goods and running errands requires connecting with various departments. Doesn't that mean that all departments can be involved? From the food department to the weapons department, Herbie learned all the knowledge there.

So for Hebi, even if he is not a blessed person, he can still identify a product.

"I've made a quick assessment and all of these are unqualified." Herbie looked at a giant crab with egg tarts and said, "The key point is the salt content. For the Baokuang people, the salt part is edible, but the other parts are not."

"So the more salt there is and the bigger the crystals are, the better. Just like when people eat crabs, they want as much meat as possible and as little gills and shell as possible."

"In other words, this is a case of developmental stunting."

Blaze knocked down the last salty gourmet creature on the fringe and threw it onto the pile of gourmet monsters.

"But these unqualified ones should also have a use, such as chopping them up, or diluting them to dialyze the salt out of them."

"You can consider making it into a drink." Herbie nodded. She also didn't like extravagance and waste. Tammy's method of burning it all made her feel painful.

After processing the outermost circle, the next step is the shore of the inland sea, which is the middle circle.

The level of the salty dark food monsters here is much higher than those in the outer circle. The ones in the outer circle are unhealthy food monsters, while those from the middle circle onwards are real dark food monsters, and at the same time they are gradually getting rid of the word "food" in food monsters.

The salty dark food monsters in the outer circle look delicious on the outside, and you won’t notice any problems until you put them in your mouth and trigger your taste buds. However, the dark food monsters in the middle circle don’t taste good at first glance.

Take the egg tart crab as an example. The egg tart crab in the middle circle is covered with huge salt crystal protrusions on its surface, and the crab claws appear even more wild and rough because of the irregular salt crystal protrusions.

"You are not gourmet at all, you are just monsters." Blaze felt a little disappointed and his actions became perfunctory.

In order to prevent Blaze from getting bored, Herbie took the initiative to chat.

"By the way, why were you behaving so weirdly just now? I even saw you using a green onion as a weapon." Herbie asked.

"Oh, it's to increase the chance of crab monsters dropping skill stones. It's a ritual called metaphysics." Blaze sighed regretfully, "There are less mysterious methods, but unfortunately I can't do it."

"For example?"

"Hit 99 critical hits in a row or something."

"I remember that you can only get a critical hit if you hit a fatal spot. Is there any normal monster that can survive a critical hit from you?"

"Right, it's so difficult, I can't do it at all."

Chapter 1589 Inland Sea Fishing

The dark gourmet monsters in the middle circle were all knocked down by Blaze's overwhelming power. In addition to the egg tart crab, there were also castle cake hermit crabs and biscuit clams.

"Well, this batch is pretty good. This one is the best."

Herby patted the shell of a tart crab with satisfaction. This was a LV100 tart crab and the only LV100 dark gourmet monster.

From the appearance, it has basically nothing to do with egg tarts, it looks like a huge piece of salt ore.

Blaze shook his head in dissatisfaction. He felt that this was the most useless.

Although this egg tart crab has a lot of salt ore, it is too much, too much, and it is just a piece of salt ore. If the treasure miners are allowed to eat salt ore directly, what is the difference between that and eating stones or ore.

What Blazer thinks is good is the egg tart crab of around LV80. From the appearance, it looks like an egg tart wrapped in a layer of crystal salt crystals like sugar coating, and there are also a lot of salt crystals in the creamy crab meat inside.

Although when placed in front of the treasure miner, he would only eat the salt crystals on the outside and the salt crystals in the cream crab meat, it looked like a greedy child who only liked to eat the part of a dish that he liked.

Just like some people only like to lick the outside of melon seeds clean, just like some people like to eat cartilage.

Everyone is still sitting at the same table, eating the same thing, just with different preferences, instead of eating completely different things as if they were strangers.

Blaze was compromising on the formality, but Herbie nodded in agreement, thinking that he had overlooked the point.

It is those unintentional details that separate people, and those unnecessary compromises that pull people together.

Blaze divided the dark gourmet monsters hunted in the central circle into two piles. One side was completely transformed into monsters and had completely lost their shape, while the other side was just a delicacy that looked like it was just coated with a layer of sugar.

"But if the Baokuang people can accept the salt mine, we can also provide it to them."

"That's what's called presentable food and not presentable food." Herbie labeled the high-level dark gourmet monsters as not presentable.

She looked at the dark gourmet monsters wrapped in salt crystals in front of her and couldn't help but sigh.

"Do you think this is a destiny? Among the sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty flavors of the Gourmet Continent, only salty will spread endlessly due to contact with the ocean world. Salt crystals are also the only mineral that can be eaten by the treasure miners."

"Then this is really a good arrangement, so I don't have to turn it into a good arrangement." Blaze crossed his arms, raised his head and smiled.

"Come to think of it, you did say something similar. Fate must have arranged a good ending or something." Herbie chuckled and held her hair that was blown by the wind.

Her hair has grown a lot longer. It seems that she hasn't cut her hair for a long time. Her neutral hairstyle has gradually become more feminine.

Why is that? She used to think hair was extremely troublesome, and sometimes she even wanted to shave her head and wear a wig.

"it is good!"

Herbie suddenly shouted and pointed in the direction of the inland sea.

"Let's take advantage of this momentum to defeat all the monsters in the center at the end!"

"Okay, okay!" Blaze was startled, but still echoed Hebie's shout, grabbed Gungnir and ran towards the inland sea's defense line.

So the boy didn't see the real woman's blushing face when she put down her hand.

But the chicken saw it, and even though it was in a world that was extremely salty, it felt like it was eating a piece of extremely sweet melon.

The inland sea has become a dead sea from an environmental perspective due to the explosion of salt content. Normal natural creatures cannot survive in it, but the gourmet monster is obviously not in the category of "normal".

Blaze closed his eyes, triggering the [Blind] state, and his vision passed through the seemingly calm surface of the inland sea and reached the depths.

Under the sea, a large number of dark gourmet monsters are living.

Blaze held Gungnir and took aim.

If you want to hunt monsters in the ocean, besides being attacked by marine creatures, you can only fish and catch them to fight.

Blazer boasts that he has reached the pinnacle of fishing.

"watch out!"

Blaze swung Gungnir violently, and the Death Wheel started to spin at high speed. The black fishhook pierced through the sea surface and rushed towards the target like a high-speed bullet.

"Oh!" Blaze felt the pulling sensation coming from Gungnir, "It's hooked!"

"No, no, no, don't act like the fish took the hook. It was obviously you who pierced the fish with the hook." The chicken couldn't help but complain.

"At times like this I prefer to see the results."

Blaze controlled the strength to reel in the rod. Since Herbie was nearby, [Primitive Life - Giant] was triggered. If he accidentally used too much force, the fishhook would be pulled out directly.

Controlling this force is no less difficult than delivering 99 critical hits.

"Come up!" Blaze adjusted his strength and pulled the rod hard. The black fishing line made of hela hair split the calm surface of the inland sea. A huge black shadow broke through the sea water and fell down.

Blaze did not give the black shadow any chance to resist. When the black shadow was about to attack him, Blaze threw out Gungnir as a harpoon and pierced through the black shadow with one blow.

The black shadow suddenly lost its life force and fell onto the beach.

[Overly Salty Honey Snapper King LV120]

A giant taiyaki, its scales covered in clear sugar crystals, its fins like rainbow jelly, its eyes like candied cherries, but it's too salty.

"This is obviously a high-end product." Blaze excitedly lifted up the Honey Snapper King, ran towards Herby and showed it off to him.

"Well, this one is really good." Herby looked at the Honey Snapper King and nodded with satisfaction.

The salty dark food monster in the outer circle looks delicious on the outside but is salty on the inside, while the one in the middle circle is visibly salty and has a distorted appearance, while the one in the center has returned to a perfect appearance but is completely salty on the inside.

Just like the infectious state, the disease state, the pathogen state.

But considering this is food, that's a bit of a bad thing to say.

While Blaze and Herbie were commenting on the Honey Snapper King, Tammy came bouncing back with good news.

That is, the Baokuang people can eat salt ore.

"Okay! Keep up the good work and catch the monster lord of this inland sea!" Blaze was in high spirits. He closed his eyes and aimed directly at the most powerful aura in the inland sea.

The target was in a very deep place in the inland sea, and ordinary force would not be enough to make the fishhook penetrate all the way to that position, so Blazer cast the rod with all his strength, and the strong wind blew Tammy and Herbie directly out. Fortunately, Chicken had made sufficient preparations and caught the two.

A vibration was transmitted from the fishhook, through the fishing line, and [Gungnir] to Blaze's hand.

"Won the jackpot!"

Chapter 1590: Prepare a Grand Dinner

The royal family of the Giant Kingdom suddenly held a grand dinner party, which was sudden, without any warning, and caught everyone off guard.

It seems like a long wait.

The most surprised were undoubtedly the allied countries with the Giant Kingdom. They received the invitation to the dinner in the morning, but the dinner was held in the evening, giving them only one day to prepare.

The royal family of the Giant Kingdom had never done such a thing before, so the allied countries were extremely nervous and subconsciously began to speculate whether the royal family of the Giant Kingdom was going to borrow money.

Borrowing money was a joke, but they all wondered if something really had happened to the royal family of the Giant Kingdom.

Audrey, who got the news in advance, did what she had to do, drinking tea and handling official business as usual. The journey to find the fountain of youth made her closer to her ideal self.

While the Alliance kingdoms were in a panic, the Giant Kingdom's capital was busy preparing for the scene.

Originally, there was enough time, but the Giant Kingdom's royal family was too anxious, so they compressed it into half a day. Half a day was only enough to set up a canteen, but fortunately, only one canteen needed to be set up.

It was an extremely huge cafeteria, built specifically for the tall Giens people. While the cafeteria was adapted to the Giens people, it could also accommodate people of any race, so that everyone could truly eat together.

The request to prepare a dinner to entertain the allied countries in half a day would make the royal chefs jump up and hit the giant emperor who made the request on the head with their beloved iron pans.

For a dinner of this level, royal chefs usually have to start preparations half a year in advance, designing dishes and collecting ingredients. Is it a joke to compress half a year into half a day?

As the culprit who caused this situation, Herbie smiled and provided assistance.

An excellent businessman would never miss any opportunity to add new products. She recommended using the gourmet monsters from the Gourmet Continent as dishes for the dinner, and using this dinner to solve the problem of food imports in the Gourmet Continent.

If successful, there will be more [Hunting Gourmet Monsters] missions in the future, which will benefit bored strangers, the middleman [Hermes' Traveling Hat], and people who want to eat gourmet monsters.

It was not easy to get the royal chef in charge to agree, but Herbie had to thank the special nature of the food monster.

The more powerful the food monster is, the more perfect it is. As long as the color, aroma and taste are acceptable, the royal chefs don’t care about the food monster.

Hebi took out the recipe that the Food Research Association had created during their half-year stay in the Food Continent. No, it was a food monster encyclopedia.

The monster encyclopedia contains information about monsters, and monsters of the same kind are recorded according to the highest level, largest size, and best meat quality. Therefore, no monster in the gourmet monster encyclopedia shown to the royal chefs is imperfect and has passed the royal chefs' strict selection.

Next, you just need to hunt the gourmet monsters selected by the royal chefs, and this step is actually very simple.

There are many foreigners active in the Food Continent, and the only missions regarding the Food Continent have always been investigation missions, so this first serious hunting mission was quickly taken up.

Those gourmet monsters that are targeted will soon be hunted and sent to the royal city of the Giant Kingdom.

While Herbie was directing the staff of [Hermes's Traveling Hat] to set up a huge cafeteria, Blaze had already gone to the city of the treasure miners - Hope City.

This city that symbolizes hope still sits in World B, the former vertical hell.

There was no need for the treasure miners to live here. The royal family of the Giant Kingdom invited the treasure miners to move to the royal city several times, but the treasure miners insisted on staying.

He was unwilling to give up the significance of this city, but he also did not want this royal city, which he had built with great difficulty, to be implicated in a disaster one day in the future due to the heavy weight of the soul.

Every ounce of their souls is genuine.

Since the Baokuang people cannot be relocated, the only thing we can do is repair it.

The lifeless nameless royal mausoleum outside the city of Hope was immediately demolished and drastically rebuilt.

First, the dome that would block the sun was demolished, and then the waste was used to expand the Hope City and build a super-large transmission tower.

Hope City is the only town in the vertical hell environment, except for the old holy capital of the Supreme Holy Kingdom. It must have everything it needs, not only for treasure miners, but also for foreigners to explore this place.

The last time Blaze visited Hope City was a few months ago when Themis caused a world-class crisis. However, in just a few months, the place has changed a lot and has become a prosperous yet simple large city.

The undead warriors who were once responsible for guarding this place still protect and serve as bodyguards for the treasure miners.

Although Blaze didn't remember every one of them, he knew that a lot were missing.

The undead are not immortal, and destroying their remains can eliminate them to their satisfaction, and can also eliminate them without regret.

After all, the undead, which is a thing that is born against nature, relies entirely on [obsession].

When Blaze first visited here, many undead warriors were already in a state of confusion, with only the instinct to "protect the treasure miners".

Most of those undead warriors were in the exchange of power between the earth and the sun, and the upheaval was completed. The people of the treasure mines were liberated, and they had no wish to see the light of day again, so they turned into dust and disappeared.
