BXBX NOVEL Chapter 336: Exploration
Joining a city-level competition and winning the championship before the provincial-level youth training competition is definitely not something you can decide on a whim.
Not to mention, at this moment, Qin Lang and his team aren’t even sure where the city-level competitions are about to start.
Understanding this, Zhou Tianhao only mentioned it briefly before quickly shifting the topic to the dishes Qin Lang had cooked.
Many of these dishes were ones he had never tasted before and for Zhou
Tianhao, it indeed felt like stepping through the door into a new world.
The soft Steamed Rice Flour Pork, the tender Silky Egg Beef Fillet, each of these delicious foods was tantalising his taste buds to no end.
“Speaking of which…” Shen Qian put down her chopsticks in satisfaction, patting her full stomach.
“I’ve already gotten Mr. Jiang Guangchen’s Second-Level Food Recommender
Badge, and Qin Lang has also become the champion of Lanqiu City’s youth training competition. Shouldn’t we set out for the next city now?
“Indeed, according to the travel route we planned earlier, we will be passing by Ye Zhi City,” Zhou Tianhao nodded slightly before looking at Qin Lang, “It’d be great if there is an upcoming city-level competition in Ye Zhi City.”
“Ye Zhi City…” Qin Lang gently put down his chopsticks, recalling the words of
Ms. Song Hui when they had left Dongxia City.
” Now that you mention it, the husband of a senior of mine works in Ye Zhi City.
When we get there, maybe we could learn more about their situation and pay them a visit while also seeking some help.”
“That’s great,” Zhou Tianhao smiled with a touch of nostalgia, “During my past travels and adventures, I often met new friends and received help from others.”
“In that case, why delay? Let’s set off for Ye Zhi City tomorrow!” Shen Qian suggested, grinning from ear to ear, “This time we won’t have to trek through the primeval forest—we can take the train!”
Thinking about it, they had already spent more than a week in Lanqiu City.
They had already seen and experienced the food and scenery of Lanqiu city during their leisure time, so they wouldn’t regret leaving now.
“But…” Qin Lang nodded, about to say “Alright”, when his phone suddenly rang.
He paused, took a look at the incoming call, and an expression of surprise crossed his face, “It’s a call from Mr. Lu Dong.”
After briefly explaining, Qin Lang got up from the dining table, went to a quieter spot, and began talking softly on the phone.
“Can you guess why Mr. Lu Dong is calling Qin Lang?” Zhou Tianhao asked
Shen Qian with a wide grin.
“It must have something to do with the secret technique that Dan Bao used during the finals today, right?” Shen Qian was no fool. A simple deduction and she quickly made her guess.
“Most likely,” Zhou Tianhao nodded, “Let’s make a wager on whether or not we can leave Lanqiu City tomorrow as planned. Loser does the dishes.”
“The competition just ended not long ago, and Mr. Lu Dong is already reaching out to Qin Lang. I bet he wants to meet with Qin Lang tomorrow to talk about the secret technique, so our departure from Lanqiu City will probably be delayed.”
Shen Qian analyzed calmly and decisively said, “I bet we can’t!”
“In that case, I’ll place a bet that we can.” Zhou Tianhao, with his cheek in his hand, looked at Qin Lang who had finished his call and returned, “What’s the situation?”
“Mr. Lu Dong has invited me to Yan Mountain Training Ground right now. He wants to talk about the Capturing Fire Secret Technique.” Qin Lang scratched his head and looked at Dan Bao, “He must have noticed some changes when Dan Bao performed the secret technique.”
“That’s a good thing,” Zhou Tianhao agreed, “Since he volunteered to share it with you, there’s no reason to worry now. The Capturing Fire Secret Technique was left by the ancestors of the Lu Family. He might know more about your situation.”
“Exchanging ideas will be beneficial for you.”
“I think so, too.” Qin Lang nodded in agreement.
He had already noticed the change in Dan Bao during the finals when he used the Capturing Fire Secret Technique. However, as they had just won the championship and this was a time of celebration, he didn’t bring it up.
As for Dan Bao’s changes, Mr. Lu Dong might have a deeper understanding.
“If that’s the case, then I’ll go now.” Qin Lang glanced at the somewhat dim sky, “I don’t want to keep Mr. Lu Dong waiting.”
“Go, go, leave the dishes to Shen Qian.” Zhou Tianhao laughed, waving his hand.
“Eh?” Shen Qian pointed to herself in confusion, then she finally caught on.
She had already lost their bet.
If Qin Lang was visiting Mr. Lu Dong tonight, it would not affect their departure tomorrow.
“Abet is a bet.” Zhou Tianhao laughed heartily.
“Alright, alright, I’ll do the dishes.” Shen Qian rolled her eyes, got up, and started cleaning up the empty dishes on the table.
What exactly happened while he was on the phone?
Looking at this scene, Qin Lang just laughed and then left the hotel room with the two little ones without any hesitation.
At the entrance to Yan Mountain Training Ground, Mr. Lu Dong was pacing back and forth expectantly, hands crossed over his chest, a look of anticipation on his face.
Seeing the familiar figure approaching at a fast pace from a distance, his expression quickly turned ecstatic. “You’re here!”
“Sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Lu Dong.” Qin Lang quickly got to Mr. Lu Dong’s side, and after catching his breath, he got straight to the point. “Mr. Lu Dong, do you know why Dan Bao’s secret technique has changed?”
“I have a few guesses.” Mr. Lu Dong nodded slightly and then opened the entrance to the training ground. “Let’s go, we need to run some tests.” “Alright.” Feeling the wave of heat that came from the entrance, Qin Lang quickly followed and soon, they were both inside the training ground.
Although the sky was getting dark, the training ground was well lit, making the entire place seem as bright as daylight.
Even at this time, many Spirit Chefs were still training with their Food Spirits in the training ground, the shouts and power of various techniques bursting out now and then.
“Over here!” Mr. Lu Dong quickly leapt onto a free battlefield, signalling Qin Lang to come over while summoning one of his Four-star Food Spirits. “Let’s spar. Don’t worry, I’ll holdback.”
“No problem!”
Forget Four-star Food Spirits – during combat training with Zhou Tianhao, Dan Bao and Spicy had even tried fighting Five-star Food Spirits; Qin Lang was not going to back down now.
Asking Spicy to stay off the battlefield and watch, Qin Lang jumped onto the battlefield with Dan Bao.
The commotion attracted the attention of many Spirit Chefs nearby who were training.
When they recognized that one of the competitors was their training ground owner, and the other was the recent youth training competition winner, Qin Lang, they all immediately stopped their training to cheer and observe.
“Stop training and watch!” Lu Dong shouted, seeing that the Spirit Chefs showed no signs of leaving. Not bothering to say anything further, he turned to Qin Lang.
“Come on, take one move from my Food Spirit, and see if you can absorb its power using the Capturing Fire Secret Technique.”
