Jiujiu Restaurant has long been famous and is a mysterious scene that even Lady Sheila from Fairy Tale Town is afraid of.
Chen Lin is very interested in the food in this restaurant.
That’s why I want steamed buns.
He wanted to compare which one was better between the other party's eighteen-spice buns and his two kinds of buns.
When Zhang Dayou heard Chen Lin's words, his head shook like a rattle.
"That's not okay. This is something from the restaurant. I'm only responsible for selling it. If you want to eat it, you can only buy it."
Chen Lin raised his eyebrows.
He glanced at Zhang Dayou and said calmly: "How can I say that I am also one of the owners of the restaurant, and I don't even have the right to eat a steamed bun?"
"And you lost to me in the competition, but you agreed to some conditions. Have you forgotten all of them now?"
"I……"
Zhang Dayou's face turned green and red.
But still persisted.
"No means no!"
Then the momentum weakened.
"At least not here. If you want to eat, you can go to Jiujiu Restaurant. You can eat whatever you want there. However, there are rules here by Grand Duke Bai Yueguang. You cannot give away items for sale. Even I have to eat them myself.
purchase."
"That's it."
Chen Lin felt that the other party was not lying.
So I stopped forcing it.
He said casually: "Okay, I won't embarrass you. I'll just buy it for as many Nightmare Coins as you want."
"Nightmare coins won't work. We need waning coins. One waning coin per cage."
"Lan Shan coins?"
Chen Lin frowned.
He has never heard of this currency.
"It's the special currency for this place. You need to guess lantern riddles to get it."
Zhang Dayou explained.
Chen Lin suddenly felt enlightened.
It is estimated that this place, like the Sword World, has its own exclusive currency.
It can also be seen from this that the Grand Duke Bai Yueguang can also change the rules of the nightmare world to a certain extent.
Like the sword girl, they are not ordinary existences.
"If it were at Jiujiu Restaurant, how much would your dumplings be worth?"
Chen Lin asked.
He wanted to determine the value of the diminutive coin.
"There are ten buns in a cage, each bun is worth one gold nightmare coin, and the total is ten."
Zhang Dayou answered truthfully.
But the price was so exaggerated that Chen Lin couldn't help but secretly be speechless.
The sword coins in the sword girl scene can be exchanged for gold nightmare coins at a one-to-one ratio.
It actually reached one to ten here!
But he didn't care either.
It is probably the same as Sword World, but the exchange ratio is exaggerated, and the actual value may not be that high.
You will suffer a big loss if you exchange gold nightmare coins.
"Can we only use wanshan coins here? Can we buy anything with lanshan coins?"
Chen Lin continued to ask.
He had already suffered a loss in the Sword Girl scene, so naturally he would not make the same mistake again. It was impossible to exchange the universal gold nightmare coins for the exclusive currency of this place.
However, Zhang Dayou's answer was unexpected.
"This is just what we tourists call it. It is not actually currency, but an item obtained by guessing lantern riddles. When the riddle process is over, you can use it to exchange for rewards."
So that’s it.
Chen Lin nodded.
In this case, the value is difficult to determine.
"Does that mean that nightmare coins can be circulated here?"
A place that can trade must have a currency system, especially since it is so prosperous here.
Zhang Da nodded slightly.
"Of course you can. After all, this is the nightmare world, but there are no diminutive coins that are easy to use."
"Although the lantern viewing festival only takes place every one to three years, the time here is different from that outside. One day here and one year outside. However, during the lantern festival, the situation is special, and the time gap will expand to a hundred times."
"Invitations are also very rare. Everyone who comes here wants to be rewarded with precious treasures. There is no way to waste energy on Nightmare Coins."
"One day here, one year outside?"
"During the lantern festival, the number will increase a hundredfold, so one day will become a hundred years!"
Chen Lin was shocked.
He hurriedly asked: "How long will the lantern viewing party take?"
"Three days."
Zhang Dayou stretched out three fingers.
"Every time there are three days, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, three days when the moon is the brightest and roundest."
"Can I leave halfway?"
Chen Lin asked again.
Three days seems to be a short time, but outside it is three hundred years!
After such a long time, there is no telling what will happen to the Alliance. Rainbow City is probably already built.
He can't stay here forever.
Zhang Dayou shook his head.
"You can't leave halfway. Unless you have the ability to forcibly break the rules of this place, nothing you can do will be useful."
Chen Lin's face didn't look good.
He was still thinking of leaving by force if it didn't work out, but the other party's words directly blocked the road.
We can only wait patiently for the conference to end.
But.
Three hundred years...
He felt helpless secretly.
Even with my current level of cultivation, I still feel powerless when facing the nightmare world. If I make a wrong step, I will be trapped.
Now that you're here, make peace with it!
With no way to break the situation, Chen Lin could only accept the reality.
In order not to worry about people outside, he tried to summon grass, but failed. It was similar to the scene with the sword girl. He could sense it but could not pull people in.
That's not bad either.
It can be used as a way to inform about safety, and it can be summoned every once in a while.
Next.
Chen Lin asked for some more information, and Zhang Dayou answered all questions.
Very good attitude.
"Well, I still want to sell steamed buns. I've answered so many messages from you, and I've made up for what happened back then. You and I have nothing to do with each other anymore."
Zhang Dayou ended the conversation, pushed the cage and left.
After walking a few steps, he stood again.
Looking at Chen Lin, he said: "You are also the owner of Jiujiu Restaurant now. If you have the ability, you might as well contribute to the development of the restaurant. If Jiujiu Restaurant collapses, your 10% of business shares will be of no use."
Chen Lin said nothing.
If you want to help Jiujiu Restaurant, you have to go to the food island first.
If the rules of Food Island do not change, his business there can continue, and there is no need for Jiujiu Restaurant to take care of it.
After all, his demand for gold nightmare coins is not very big now.
Seeing Zhang Dayou walking away, Chen Lin also started to wander around.
beautiful!
lively!
There is artistic conception!
After watching it for a while, Chen Lin couldn't help but admire it.
The entire scene is centered on a wide river, with bustling streets on both sides of the river, and various flowers, plants and trees along the water's edge, each of which is exceptionally beautiful.
There are various large-scale boats on the river.
There are also some small boats, all hung with different numbers of lanterns, which are very festive.
Except these.
There are water lanterns floating in the water, twinkling like the reflection of stars.
The whole scene is a sea of lights!
Besides lights, there are lights.
Everything else is just an accessory for the light.
Even tourists do.
Chen Lin walked to a flower tree, raised his head, and looked at the strings of lanterns above.
These lanterns are regular in shape and bright red in color, making them the most common type.
But according to Zhang Dayou, the grade of the lanterns here cannot be seen from the surface. The ordinary shape does not mean that the lantern riddles inside are ordinary. What kind of lanterns you encounter can only depend on luck.
If you want to know what the riddle is, you need to touch it with your hand, and only the person who touches it can see it.
Touch it again and the riddle becomes something else. You cannot cheat by passing on information.
in addition.
Every tourist has only one chance to fail.
As long as you fail once, you can no longer guess the riddle.
You can continue playing here.
The guessing time is two days in total. When the guessing time is over, the Grand Duke Bai Yueguang will hold a banquet and invite all the invited visitors to celebrate together.
At the same time, prizes for guessing will be distributed.
Naturally, Chen Lin would not fully believe Zhang Dayou.
He also inquired about other people and got basically the same answers.
It is said that the Grand Duke of White Moonlight is very generous, and every lantern riddle reward is a rare treasure. Therefore, this lantern viewing party is a major event in the nightmare world, and many famous figures want to participate.
The price of invitations is often sky-high.
The one he got from Zhang Dayou belonged to Jiujiu Restaurant, and he was invited to sell delicacies here to increase the variety of delicacies at the lantern viewing party.
As a result, he lost to him.
Jiujiu Restaurant bought another one, for which Zhang Dayou paid a huge price.
"There is only one chance of failure, which is too strict."
Chen Lin stood beside the flower tree and shook his head.
Guessing lantern riddles is not his strong point. He will probably return disappointed and waste three hundred years.
"Ha ha."
"Brother, this is the wrong thing to say."
A cheerful voice sounded from behind.
Chen Lin turned around.
I saw a man covered in emerald green but short in stature walking over, holding a paper fan in his hand and waving it step by step like the young master.
A bit abstract.
However, Chen Lin never judges people by their appearance, and those who can come here cannot be ordinary people.
He immediately cupped his hands and said, "I wonder what brother means by this?"
The green man did not feel inferior because of his short stature. Instead, he felt that Chen Lin was tall and slender, with uncoordinated proportions and low-grade earthy skin. He was far less elegant than he was.
He slowly shook the paper fan.
He shook his head and said: "Don't think there is only one chance to fail in guessing the lantern riddles, but as long as you succeed once, you can have dinner with the Grand Duke Bai Yueguang and see the Grand Duke's peerless face. This is more precious than any reward!"
Chen Lin was speechless.
There is nothing exciting about having a meal with a creature from the nightmare world. He is not a star-struck person.
certainly.
The other party is a creature from the nightmare world, and may have different thoughts from his.
"Thank you, brother, for clearing up the confusion."
Chen Lin said casually and continued to browse the lanterns.
He found a remote corner.
The lights here are relatively small and located in a corner, so there are no people approaching.
After identifying a lantern, Chen Lin thought about it and stimulated his natural ability.
He was going to try a divination.
There's no way you can do it on your own, so you can only rely on external forces.
The picture of destiny unfolds smoothly.
Chen Lin was delighted.
As long as the picture can be seen, it can have some effect and give him a certain degree of guidance.
But his hope soon turned into disappointment.
The picture can be unfolded, but the fate is so chaotic that nothing can be predicted at all.
Think about it.
Chen Lin activated the little fish clone and merged with the fish of destiny into one, increasing the strength of the power of destiny.
But it's still useless.
The river of destiny is like a pool of stagnant water, without any reaction.
There was no other way, Chen Lin could only put away his natural ability and focus on the lantern again.
After looking at it for a while, he turned around and left.
He strolled along the riverside and enjoyed the picturesque scenery.
Observe creatures with different styles at the same time.
When you encounter a place with few people, use your natural abilities to test the lanterns at close range.
Unknowingly, it came to an end.
It's more beautiful here.
The lanterns in the distance are getting denser and denser, seeming real and illusory, spreading like stars, extending into the distant void.
But people cannot pass.
There is an invisible barrier blocking it, which is different from the road barrier.
"On the Eight Hundred Miles of Lantern Festival, only a small part of the Lantern Festival is open for each small lantern festival. Only the big lantern festival once every 12 years will it be fully opened. Then the scene will be so spectacular that it can surpass any grand event!"
Some people in the crowd of onlookers expressed emotion.
Chen Lin's eyes flashed.
I silently calculated it in my mind.
Under normal circumstances, one day here is one year outside, and the lanterns will increase a hundred times in three days, which is three hundred years.
So in the twelve years here, the outside world is almost like what it was like around eight or nine thousand years ago.
I just don’t know which year the last big lantern festival was held, so it’s hard to guess when the next one will be.
I want to take it here.
Chen Lin immediately walked into the crowd to inquire.
I soon learned that the last headlight event was ten years ago, and there are still more than two years until the next one.
It looks like it looked like one thousand two or three hundred years ago outside.
He can really catch up.
"My friend, I wonder how to get an invitation to the Lantern Festival?"
The person being asked was a humanoid young man. Seeing that Chen Lin had a similar appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little closer to him.
He smiled and pointed to the lanterns around him.
He replied: "There are some lanterns. You can get them by answering the lantern riddles correctly. You can also exchange them with wanshan coins when the prizes are distributed."
"Thank you!"
Chen Lin cupped his fists.
The difficulty of the lantern riddles is different, and the rewards are also different. At least there is only one wanshan coin, and if there are more, there will not only be a lot of them, but there will also be treasures.
However, the lantern riddles are not that easy to guess. After shopping around for a long time, I didn’t see anyone guessing one.
certainly.
At the beginning, everyone was waiting and watching, and few people chose to guess the riddle.
"good!"
"Hahaha!"
"Awesome, awesome!"
Just as he was thinking about it, a burst of noise came from behind, attracting everyone's attention.
Chen Lin also looked over.
I saw a lantern in front of a tall blue creature that flickered on and off, and an indescribably beautiful light floated out from it, dancing around the man.
Finally he reached out and caught him.
It is a small, round object with flowing brilliance. When you look at it from a distance, you feel like you are intoxicated by it.
Chen Lin was secretly amazed.
undoubtedly.
This is the diminutive coin.
The other party only received the minimum reward, but his face was full of smiles.
The onlookers looked even more envious.
Because as long as you guess a lantern riddle correctly, you can meet the Grand Duke of White Moonlight. Most people seem to be very enthusiastic about this Grand Duke.
"Let's go, let's take a break, let's go and guess lantern riddles!"
The crowd watching the distant scene at the end was stimulated, and they all spread out to choose their favorite lanterns.
But soon.
It's like losing one's concubine and becoming soulless.
At first glance, the guessing game has failed.
This made Chen Lin even more afraid to act rashly.
He saw at least dozens of people touching the lantern, but only the blue man succeeded.
The success rate is too low.
It will definitely not succeed without external help.
Walk back along the river bank and reach the end on the other side.
The scene is almost the same.
This open river is only about twenty miles long, which is not too wide. For cultivators, it is already considered small.
There was no delay.
Chen Lin left the river and walked up the busy streets, enjoying different styles of food and feeling the lanterns here.
Three hours later.
Chen Lin, who found nothing, returned to the river again.
