Chapter 677: Vanguard of the Food Area
"Would you like to come over here and take a look at the latest red strategy released by the White-Eye Azure Dragon Strategy Group?"
"The fastest strategy for conquering Moren City! Teach you how to quickly run through the unchanging main road within an hour!"
"The latest fool-proof strategy guide from the Chicken Team has been released!"
Wait, the Tianji Strategy Group?
Hearing the shouts from the nearby store that caters to adventurers, Fudolin paused, picked up the guide signed by the Tianji Strategy Group and flipped through it.
"It's actually a pirated copy from the Skyrim Raiders team."
She was speechless for a moment, so she took the thing to the store and asked the manager where these pirated goods came from.
While her daughter was arguing with the store manager, Natti looked through the various strategy books displayed in the store.
In order to complete the exploration mission of the food area they accepted, they came to buy the guide.
The map of the food area changes daily, but there are always patterns to study.
Just like no matter how the Fran Fortress changes, there will still be three beacon towers. Routes like the road leading to the beacon tower in the Fran Fortress are called main roads by adventurers. Main roads do not often change much, and there are such roads in every area.
Therefore, the strategy books for each area basically revolve around the main roads. Of course, there are also strategy books that specialize in studying those roads that will change.
The name of each guide book is eye-catching, and the colorful cover shows at a glance that the purpose is to attract customers' attention. The names of various guide groups are written on the cover in a smaller font.
There is a rectangular icon on the cover of the strategy book. The strategy book icons placed from top to bottom on the bookshelf are in red, yellow, green and white. This is a feature of the Warrior Kingdom. Colors are used to distinguish the difficulty of the areas represented by the strategy book to prevent adventurers from mistakenly entering dangerous areas that are beyond their strength.
Nati squatted down and flipped through it, and finally found the food area guide book marked in white. The white guide books were placed at the bottom, and it looked like not many people bought them.
The red guide book at the top of the shelf is selling very quickly, and you can tell at a glance that it is very popular.
The food area is quite special, with guide books in four colors: red, yellow, green, and white.
Just as Nadi was shopping around, buying guides with the names of the food areas in them, an adventurer came over and picked up two from the red shelf.
"Um?"
Nadi frowned in confusion. She saw that the strategy books that were taken away were from areas such as Anor Londo and Redfang Dungeon, which were obviously high-risk places.
However, the adventurer who took the strategy book was very weak, so weak that Nadi would suffocate him if she just exhaled.
Did you buy it for someone else?
The adventurer heard her voice and turned around to see that Nadi's arms were mostly filled with white and green strategy books. He couldn't help but laugh disdainfully.
The next second she was knocked away and turned into a meteor in the sky. The shop owner who produced and sold pirated guides was also thrown out in the same direction by Fuduolin.
"Adventurers have become quite vain lately. No matter how strong they are, they insist on buying the red guidebook. If they buy the white one, they'll be looked down upon."
While explaining to her mother, Fuduolin threw some gold coins into the store as payment for books and medical expenses.
"Vanity is not a good thing." Nadi nodded seriously.
Fu Duolin was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but say, "Mom, don't you think our roles are a bit reversed?"
"Hmm?" Nadi tilted her head in confusion.
Although she has a mature appearance, she looks quite naive when doing this kind of action. The contrast makes her appearance even more lethal.
"You were the one who lectured me on the truths before and I just agreed with you. Why am I the one lecturing you now?"
To this day, Fuduolin still cannot adapt to her mother's personality change.
"It's very comfortable to play dumb appropriately. You don't have to think too much like before," Nadi patted her shoulder and said earnestly, "This is the lesson I learned from my time in the Thane dungeon. You should try it too. Don't live such a tiring life."
In short, unless she encounters something serious, Nadi will always maintain her natural appearance.
After all, the plague has just been resolved. Based on past experience, the plague will not occur again for at least ten years, so it is time to relax.
Upon hearing this, Fuduolin drooped her shoulders and was speechless.
She felt that she was developing into a complainer.
Thanks to her days of adventures with Luluwo and the others, she has accumulated a lot of vocabulary. Now her ability to complain is no less than that of everyone in the Skyrim strategy group. Even Nadi praised her for becoming more playful.
".This compliment is not nice at all."
The Adventurer's Guild directly connects the commissions for exploring the food area with the secretary selected by Nadi. The secretary then distributes the commissions so that the dragons in the tribe have something to do and don't just lie there and rot.
Half of the floating island dragons, which were originally few in number, went to the construction site to engage in construction, that is, to build their own houses on the land allocated to them by Bangtow.
The rest are those who need to enter the portal to do commissions.
However, because everyone wants to go to the food area and no one wants to work on the construction site every day, these two waves of dragons have to rotate their work every once in a while.
Sure enough, no intelligent creature in any world likes to play with dust.
The strategy book that Nadi purchased this time was for the dragons to read, so that they could have a general grasp of the knowledge of the food area and avoid making mistakes when doing the commissions.
After returning with the strategy book, she formulated several policies overnight.
If you want to work on commissions in the food section, you must understand everything about the commissions, or at least be able to memorize them before you can even enter! And you must complete the commissions before you even consider your own gastrointestinal problems.
There's a reason she did that.
In the early days of cooperation with the Adventurer's Guild, there were cases where the dragons would suddenly run to eat their favorite food while working. Sometimes they would eat up all the things required for the commission, and even stay in the dungeon for several days without coming out. When asked why they did this, they replied that they were poisoned after trying ingredients such as electric bananas and poisonous potatoes. As a result, they became addicted after eating them twice, and were always in a cycle of being lively and unconscious.
There's no hope. The socialization level of these dragons under my command is too low, and they must be severely disciplined!
The original living environment of the dragons on the floating island is quite different from that of the Warrior Kingdom. It takes time to adapt, and a lot of troubles have occurred during this period of adaptation.
This results in Nati, who has accumulated pressure, turning herself into a completely naive state once she decides to relax.
Although she would scold her tribesmen, she would actually go into the food area to slack off a bit and do some commissions along the way.
Nadi and the masters in the tribe have their own customized commissions, and her current commission is to explore the map.
Explore the food area map behind the rainbow fruit.
Adventurers have not put much effort into developing the food area. Among all the areas in the Sen Dungeon, the food area attracts the most ordinary people and the least masters, making it a unique place.
In the food area, the areas where ordinary people can set foot are white, the areas that are a bit dangerous are green, and the areas near the rainbow fruits are naked red.
As for the map behind the Rainbow Fruit? A small part is red, and the rest is completely black, representing a question mark.
Because few people went to explore, and those who went did not produce any results, the public's spontaneous exploration stopped at the rainbow fruit, and only the guild was still funding and organizing people to explore the areas beyond.
But to be honest, the area behind the Rainbow Fruit is a bit too difficult for people.
The most powerful monster near the Rainbow Fruit is the Trotron, which looks like a giant gorilla but has many arms. This kind of monster that moves in groups and is extremely powerful is very dangerous. In addition, there are even stronger mutant individuals among the Trotron, so that place is marked in red.
In "The Gourmet Prisoner", the level of individual Trojans is generally between nine and ten.
A level one individual would require at least ten fully armed soldiers to capture, a level three individual would be ineffective against most conventional weapons, and a level ten creature could easily tear apart a tank.
Not to mention that the Trotrons act as a whole group, which greatly increases the difficulty of capturing the rainbow fruit, and the surrounding area becomes a red area.
So, what about the area behind it?
Thanks to Gong Qiying's kindness, the captured creatures in the area behind the rainbow fruit are basically at level 20 and above, and most of them reach level 20 by pure combat power, rather than simply by the difficulty of obtaining them.
This level of combat power leap is undoubtedly a considerable obstacle to the adventurers' exploration.
Not to mention, many of these highly combat-capable gourmet creatures require special cooking methods before they can be eaten, and some parts cannot even be eaten.
Without a lot of trial and error, adventurers have no idea what is edible and what is not, so it is difficult for gourmets to purchase at high prices. In addition, the difficulty of the later areas is too high, and even if you achieve something in the gourmet area, it is difficult to become famous like doing something in other areas, which leads to the lack of interest of those strategy groups here.
These conditions seem to be tailor-made for the dragons of the floating island.
They don't care about being famous or not, as long as they can find delicious food. Moreover, the combat power of a single dragon is quite considerable, and it is not a problem for it to fight against the monsters in the back area.
It is foreseeable that the future food scene will be dominated by the dragons of the floating island!
"I didn't expect the harvest this time to be so rich. I actually found the second legendary kitchen utensil."
The next day, deep in the food area, after defeating a bunch of powerful monsters of unknown capture level, Nati found a golden item in the cave they were guarding.
【Dragon-turning Pot】
[A legendary kitchen tool, specifically used to accelerate cooking. Simply place ingredients in it and they will be cooked immediately.]
[It is said that the dishes cooked by those who have collected all eight legendary kitchen utensils can grant immortality]
"Just looking at the introduction, it seems the effect is very ordinary," Nadi, who had transformed into a dragon, picked up the Dragon-Turning Pot with her claws and observed it carefully. The appearance of the Dragon-Turning Pot was a coiled dragon, and the shape was quite unique.
The one who commissioned her to collect the legendary kitchen utensils was the Adventurer's Guild. To be more precise, it was an elf chef named Kulipa who issued the commission through the guild.
It seems that Kuripa already owns a legendary kitchen utensil called the Eternal Blade, and this one should be his second one.
"I must ask that chef to use it to make me a feast when I get back!"
After making up her mind, Nadi tilted her head back and swallowed the Dragon Pot into her stomach, then turned around and started to deal with the monsters she had defeated.
These monsters are varied, such as crayfish with biscuits as hard as basalt, earth dragons with scales like candy, huge mammoths, etc., all of them are very strong without exception.
These monsters can be considered elite monsters if they are placed outside, and can only be dealt with by legendary dragons like Nadi.
She is probably the only legendary master who would attack the food area. Other legendary masters are basically challenging stronger enemies, and she is the only one looking for food here.
Sure enough, no one except the Floating Island Dragon Clan can do this. Which legend has nothing to do and comes to collect the food?
“There are still many places to explore.”
Nati looked up into the distance, and all she could see was a vast and boundless landscape: forests, fields, and mountains. In the deepest part of the food area, there was an endless view, and it was filled with ingredients she had never seen before.
The growls of dangerous creatures reached the ears from these places, indicating that this area was not as safe and peaceful as it seemed on the surface, but was full of murderous intent.
The simulated sunlight from the dungeon fell on her lava-like scales. The warm feeling made her squint her eyes comfortably and take a breath of the sweet air.
Nadi suddenly felt that she had found the meaning of her life as a dragon.
"Okay, let's go!"
From now on, the exploration of this gourmet food area will be entirely left to the Floating Island Dragon Clan!
While the dragons of the floating island were indulging in the exploration of the food area and plastering the construction site, people were also advancing exploration in the forest area adjacent to the food area.
"Boom! Boom!"
Heavy crashing sounds continued to be heard in the dense forest, mixed with the extremely angry roars of monsters, and the entire forest was shaking.
With the monster's final roar, it fell heavily to the ground, having lost its life force, and the hunters cheered.
It turned out to be a small-sized dragon!
The one who dealt the final blow to Honglong was a shirtless man with muscles as strong as steel, exuding a powerful fighting spirit.
"Your Highness Lanle, you finally succeeded!"
The person next to him revealed the man's identity.
No one could have imagined that this muscular man who looked similar to Temud was actually the former Lanler!
"Yeah, I didn't expect I could be such a warrior."
Lan Le wiped the blood off his sword and asked the bodyguards behind him:
"Isn't it almost time for the battle festival to resume?"
Behind him were three bodyguards who were hunting with him.
They used to be a team of five, but for some reason, various accidents happened frequently. After changing to a team of four, everything went smoothly.
"It should be soon!" the bodyguard replied.
"Then I'll practice some more. It just so happens that I have a big shipment today."
A spot of light slowly emerged in front of Honglong's body, and the light was actually golden.
Lan Le stepped forward and touched it, with joy in his eyes.
