"Gah—"
Covered in ivy vines and strawberries, Ah Chou gently raised its head. It stuck out its tongue, rolled up a long string of green vines, pulled it into its mouth, and chewed. The fist-sized strawberries emitted a faint fruity fragrance, and bright red juice covered most of its head.
"Okay, Ah Chou, thank you for your hard work. I'll make you something delicious later."
Xu Milu tiptoed and reached out to touch A Chou's head. The large green tortoise obediently lowered its body, nuzzled its head in her palm, and made a coquettish sound:
"quack--"
Yang Shu's eyes were practically green with envy as he stared at Ah Chou with longing, his hands itching to reach out and touch her.
"This game lets you tame monsters? How do you do that? Little boss, I'm not greedy, just taming a little tiger or leopard would be great, riding one around would be so impressive!! Or when does your monster lay eggs? Could you spare one for me? I'll pay a high price, with real money!"
—Everyone knows that Xu Milu is just a cook at the Mountain and Sea Restaurant, and the real boss is "Ren Honghe", who often dozes off at the entrance of the system store.
At first, Liu Niannian made up the nickname "Little Boss," but later the players all started using it.
Xu Milu plucked a large strawberry and fed it to A Chou. Upon hearing Yang Shu's words, she couldn't help but cough.
"Our Ah Chou is still young, and besides, how can a male lay eggs?"
"Shouldn't this game be like Pokémon, where everyone gets a Poké Ball and just throws it at the Pokémon they like?"
Yang Shu couldn't help but complain, then suddenly exclaimed excitedly:
"Young boss, you have no idea! Someone posted a video of the game on the gaming forum, and now the whole forum is in an uproar! A rich guy offered a million to buy the gaming helmet, but no one is selling it—and someone also posted a video of your Warcraft, and someone has already offered a high price for the Warcraft taming method!"
Game forum?
Xu Milu raised an eyebrow. She had been staying in the Gourmet Dimension for some time, so she was not aware of the situation on Earth.
Besides, there are eleven "players" including her. Excluding Nian Fengran, Jiang Wenyan, and the two official personnel who joined later, there are only six real game players. Where did this game forum come from?
"Of course there are game forums. This is a game developed by Honghe Technology. Even before its official release, a huge number of people were waiting to play it. Although it's currently in the closed beta phase, there are at least a million 'armchair gamers' online—"
While picking strawberries, Yang Shu casually patted Ah Chou, and then said with satisfaction:
"Hey boss, let's add each other as friends after the event, and exchange game tips offline. My WeChat ID is ********. I've already added Lao Fu on WeChat, and we always schedule a time to water the vegetable garden each time we log on."
Fu Xuan glanced at Xu Milu without changing his expression, and smiled, saying:
"I just logged off and checked. A player posted a video of this carnival on the game forum. Many people are speculating about the authenticity of the game, and some people are even analyzing the game footage. They have such reasonable arguments that I almost believed them."
Xu Milu shrugged and said, half-jokingly:
"Who cares what anyone says? To me, the Gourmet Continent is truly another world. Whether it's Nameless Island or Orok Island, everything that happens here is real in a sense, isn't it?"
Upon hearing Xu Milu's words, Fu Xuan was taken aback at first, then nodded seriously:
"Yes, instead of arguing about pointless things, let's focus on enjoying the present moment—"
Yang Shu felt that the two people were implying something, glancing at each other, and the atmosphere seemed a bit strange.
Players aren't fools. Apart from players like Yang Shu and Liu Niannian who firmly believe it's some kind of black technology, some players have already begun to doubt the nature of this "game," and Fu Xuan is clearly one of them.
Just as Yang Shu said, although this game only has a few players, it is no exaggeration to say that the world's attention is focused on it.
An endless supply of culinary resources, a fascinating new world full of novelties, a constant stream of otherworldly ingredients, and magnificent and rich otherworldly adventures—not to mention the extra time due to the game's time difference—everything is a huge temptation for Earthlings!
So even if someone sensed something was wrong, no one was foolish enough to stand up and expose it in the face of huge, readily available profits.
Xu Milu's expression was quite calm—anyway, this was all Ren Honghe's doing, so what did it have to do with her, a model Chinese citizen?
After all, she was just an enthusiastic, staunchly Chinese-minded, and somewhat capable "ordinary person".
...
...
The Oroq Flower Parade is held only once every hundred years, but Oroq people have short lifespans, and many may never attend a single carnival in their lifetime. Therefore, each carnival is more like a life celebration for all Oroq people.
On this day, they would decorate the floats with flowers they had carefully cultivated, and select the best float and the most beautiful flowers. The selected flowers would become the iconic flowers of Orlock for the next hundred years.
—The flower chosen in the previous competition was the chrysanthemum, which represents "enthusiasm" and "happiness". The people of Orlock use it to welcome guests from afar, and the chrysanthemum can also be seen on major holidays.
The carnival would continue until late at night, so many brightly decorated floats were added to the daytime parade. When one of the floats joined the procession, the atmosphere of the carnival reached its climax.
"By the God of Gourmet Food! Long live Grand Duke Sivian!"
