In the afternoon, the sun is bright and the wind is clear and gentle.
On the food island, on the pier, a ketch docked at the berth according to the guide's semaphore instructions.
Chen Ren, wearing a silver metal double sword badge on his chest, jumped off the ship and stepped beside the conductor.
"Brother, may I ask if anyone from the Swordsmen Association is here?"
"Officially, Lord Hunter, the Swordsmen Association has arrived a long time ago, and their ships are over there."
The conductor glanced at the hunter badge on the boy's chest, pointed at the ship leaning against the special area of the pier, and spoke in a calm tone.
Chen Ren raised his eyebrows, something's not right?
When will the staff of franchise countries be so indifferent to hunters?
However, he has already received news from the Swordsmen Association, and these are not important. He does not rely on these joining countries to survive.
At this time, the briquettes also fell on his shoulders. Betty and Mira also got off the boat. They walked through the pier together and officially entered the country of delicious food.
The streets were hung with announcements for the food competition, as well as the logo of the Main Chamber of Commerce, the sponsor of the competition.
Chen Ren unfolded the map of the food island placed on the bulletin board next to him with one hand. The island has a concave structure, with high edges and a flat interior, like a pan.
Marked on the map are the locations of the important chambers of commerce on the island, the location of the naval base, and the most important registration window for the food competition.
However, it is worth noting that this country does not have royal rule. Instead, a group of businessmen dominate everything on the island, and the Mine Chamber of Commerce is the leader of this group of chambers of commerce.
The capital of gastronomy is arguably one of the purest islands, where krona is everything.
After finding the location of the registration office, the group walked towards the middle of the island. Fortunately, the island was not very big, so it would not take long for them to reach it.
On the streets, there were crowds of people coming and going, and it was very lively. Among them were contestants wearing chef uniforms, and swordsmen with swords hanging on their waists.
Wisps of aroma come from the stalls and shops on both sides of the street, and the aroma of food and spices combine in the air.
Chen Ren, who had already accepted Mila's craftsmanship, was also attracted by this special fragrance and couldn't help but want to taste it.
A white shadow jumped out from beside him and shuttled through various stalls. Before long, he had no less than seven or eight kinds of snacks in his hand, exuding a strong smell of spices.
Mira quickly returned to the two of them, divided the food into three parts and handed them to their hands.
"It's a snack bar opened in a food island, so it must have a unique flavor." Mira smiled and took a bite with great anticipation. As soon as she took a bite, the special fragrance reverberated in the cavity.
But then her brows knitted together. With the sensitivity of her tongue, it was not difficult to tell that these ingredients were not very fresh.
‘Bah bah bah’
Mira still didn't believe in evil, so she tasted each one, and the results were almost the same.
She scanned the stall she had just bought in disbelief. This was during the Food Island Competition, why would such a business still exist?
Maybe it was too different from the food island she imagined, and she couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Even the two standing wolf ears on her head drooped down at this time.
"Go and sign up, don't pay too much attention to these vendors." Chen Ren, who had already eaten a bite of meat skewers, already knew the reason for the wolf-eared girl's depression.
He could only bring up the more important registrations. He was not interested in defending these unscrupulous traders.
"Um"
The three figures followed the crowd and walked towards the center of the island.
As the sun set, they finally arrived at their destination today, the registration area for the food competition.
It was probably getting dark, and there were not many people queuing up to sign up. A group of people stood in line and moved slowly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Ren raised his head and looked at the venue where the competition was about to be held.
The venue as a whole is disc-shaped, covering a vast area and is very tall. The shape of the venue is surrounded by white walls that protrude outward. From the sky, it looks like a plate holding delicacies. It is also unique as a gastronomic competition venue.
grid.
At the edge of what he could see, more than ten entrances and exits had appeared. One can imagine how many crowns the Chamber of Commerce spent on building this competition venue.
The team moved forward, and soon it was Mira's turn.
"Name"
"Mira"
"age"
"23 years old"
"Race"
"The demi-human branch of the Moon Wolf Tribe"
...
Registration was completed quickly, but Chen Ren still noticed that when the venue staff heard about Mira's race, their writing movements paused for a moment.
Mira was excitedly holding the competition chef uniform she received from the registration desk and an armband with her name on it.
She has already begun to take steps on the road to realizing her dream.
As night falls, the lanterns come on.
The city of gourmet food is decorated with dim lights, and the night market on the streets has officially begun. The flow of people on the streets is not less than during the day, on the contrary, there is a faint feeling of overtaking it.
Especially the number of figures wearing chef uniforms began to increase exponentially.
Complex aromas began to permeate the air. Many of them were dressed in chef uniforms and competing chefs set up stalls and began selling their own specialties.
“Try the hot pot pork and hot pot pork. This is the specialty of our snow country.”
"Mutton skewers, Blazing Land mutton skewers, come and experience the best mutton in the East China Sea."
"Maple sugar cake, maple sugar from the land of red maples, is sweet and not greasy."
“Shrimp dumplings, arm-sized cloud beast shrimps, sweet and delicious, not to be missed.”
.......
The shouts instantly set off the night market, and the crowd began to boil and rush to their favorite stalls. Don’t they come to the gourmet city just to taste the delicious food?
Mira's eyes flickered as she looked at the scene in front of her, her ears moved up and down twice, her blue eyes narrowed slightly, and she could hardly control the smile on her lips.
This is the food country she longs for.
Pulling up Betty beside him, the two of them followed the crowd and wandered to various stalls, starting their delicious journey.
"These two guys didn't know how to bring me with them." Chen Ren couldn't help but curl his lips as he watched the two disappear into the crowd.
Then he started looking for stalls that he was interested in in the night market. As for worrying about the two of them getting lost? Then you are looking down on them. With Betty's current ability, there is no pressure to arrest an ordinary cloud pirate ship.
What's more, Betty has a phone shell in her hand that can contact her at any time.
At that time, I wanted to give Mira one, but unfortunately she didn't ask for it.
"Huhuhuhu" The sound of the iron ball waving in the air aroused his interest. Is it possible that there are still people here who make a living by performing arts?
Because of his relatively thin body, he quickly passed through the crowd. In front of him was a charcoal stove set in an open space, with a hollow iron ball placed on the red-hot coals.
A stall owner was putting round dough balls the size of table tennis balls inside, while another shirtless man who looked very similar to him was waving an iron ball with one hand. The sound of breaking through the air came from him.
