Chapter 373

Although his family had some influence in Qingjing City, generally speaking, the women he took a liking to rarely refused him.

But this time was different.

That top-tier girl herself was a level 19 hidden class—if she were alone, it would be fine; he could still chat her up, and might even be able to make friends with her.

Now there was also a boy beside her whose level he couldn't even discern; if he rashly went up to chat her up like this, he probably wouldn't even know how he died......

"So that's how it is."

The earring boy suddenly understood.

True enough.

People like them, although their families had some small influence, couldn't be too much of a profligate.

After all, Qingjing City was full of hidden talents; provoking someone they shouldn't, the entire clan might suffer......

And the boy and girl being discussed by these few people were precisely Zhou Yi and Jiang Churan, who had left Qingjing University and come here.

"Gourmet Paradise truly lives up to its name."

"Just the fragrance wafting through the air makes one unable to resist craving a feast."

Following the flow of people into the district, Zhou Yi's gaze swept around; on both sides of the street were many food stalls.

The aroma of delicacies drifting from the stalls was even more enticing.

"Yeah, it smells amazing!"

Sniffing the food fragrance in the air, Jiang Churan's eyes also lit up.

Gourmet Paradise was a place recommended by Liu Yang, said to gather nearly half of all the food varieties in the entire Zhongxia Nation!

One had to know......

The Eternal Game had merged with reality for nearly three hundred-plus years.

The emergence of the Cook class and the Culinary class, as well as the birth of numerous magical beasts and plants, had added tens of millions of food varieties to the entire Blue Star!

As one of the great nations of Blue Star, Zhongxia Nation had created who knew how many delicacies!

So, when Liu Yang said this place gathered nearly half of all the food varieties in Zhongxia Nation, she was still somewhat skeptical.

Now seeing it in person, it seemed there really was that possibility!

"Brother Zhou Yi, let's go!"

Smelling the aroma of food, Jiang Churan could no longer hold back, and pulled Zhou Yi as she quickly entered the gourmet district.

"Wow! Such springy meatballs! The main ingredient is actually deep-sea monster fish meat! That's a deep-sea overlord above level 30!"

"Mm~~, this one is also pretty good, fragrant and spicy!"

"Brother Zhou Yi, come try this!"

"......"

Zhou Yi and Jiang Churan walked through the Gourmet Paradise district, tasting something at almost every stall.

If it were an ordinary person, Really no way they could do this—probably they'd be stuffed after strolling for just a little while.

But Zhou Yi and Jiang Churan—one had the Frost Titan bloodline, the other the Succubus bloodline—both had enormous appetites!

There was no need to worry about this problem at all.

During this process of strolling and eating, the two saw quite a few delicacies they had never encountered before.

Among them was even the flesh and blood of Legend Rank magical beasts!

It was just very expensive, though.

Even a small portion of less than 10 grams of flesh and blood cost over a hundred thousand Zhongxia coins......

Of course, besides the expensive Legend Rank magical beast flesh, there were also affordable ones—ordinary magical beast meat that could be bought for just a few dozen Zhongxia coins per portion.

Just like that, Zhou Yi and Jiang Churan strolled and ate along the way, and several hours quickly passed.

"Mm, it's been so long since I ate this satisfyingly!"

On a rest seat at an open-air plaza in the district, Zhou Yi sat there with a look of utter contentment.

Since obtaining the Frost Titan bloodline, he had rarely been able to experience that old feeling of being stuffed from when he had only an ordinary bloodline.

"We've been strolling for four hours, and we still haven't even finished half of Gourmet Paradise!"

Beside him, Jiang Churan, whose appetite had been satisfied, also wore a look of emotion.

It was already ten o'clock at night now.

In other words, they had spent nearly four hours in Gourmet Paradise altogether.

However......

Four hours, and they still hadn't even finished half of Gourmet Paradise.

Although part of the reason was that they were eating while strolling, this was still enough to show just how vast Gourmet Paradise's area was.

"Gourmet Paradise is five or six districts connected together—of course it's not that easy to finish." Zhou Yi said with a smile.

Unlike back at Qingjing University, in the nearly four hours at the gourmet district, almost no one had secretly taken photos.

Even when there were, it was purely because of looks, not because of the exchange tournament.

This made him feel very comfortable.

Of course, this was also very normal.

Although the National University Freshman Exchange Tournament was a grand event for the entire Zhongxia Nation, basically only people who enjoyed watching battles were paying attention.

Many people, because of work, had only heard of the event in passing, and might have occasionally seen Zhou Yi's name or some highlights on TV.

For them to actually recognize Zhou Yi's identity on the street was almost impossible.

"50-year Green Fruit Wine! Two hundred thousand Zhongxia coins a bottle!"

"Not only delicious, it can also slightly boost some Agility attribute—only ten bottles left, sold until they're gone!!"

Suddenly, a hawking shout rang out from a stall in the distance.

"Fifty-year Green Fruit Wine?"

·· ········requesting fresh flowers····· ·

"Brother Zhou Yi, let's go take a look!"

Jiang Churan's eyes lit up, and she quickly pulled Zhou Yi over to a stall in the distance.

Most of the stalls in the food district were open-air, and this one was no different.

This was a stall that specialized in selling wine, with many wine jars lined up behind it.

On the stall's counter, there were ten bluish-green wine jars, each about 20 centimeters tall and roughly 10 centimeters in diameter.

Leaning in closer, one could faintly catch a light, fruity fragrance of the wine.

At this moment, quite a few passersby who had heard the hawking had gathered around the stall.

"Fifty-year Green Fruit Wine, two hundred thousand a bottle — that's a bit pricey."

"It's all right, two hundred thousand is about right. Give me one!"

"Fifty-year Green Fruit Wine can boost Agility points for professionals below 200 Agility. For those above 200 Agility, all you get is the taste — never mind, I won't buy it."

"......"

Among the gathered passersby, some took one look and left, while others paid up and bought.

In no time, four of the ten bottles of Green Fruit Wine had already been sold.

"Each bottle of Green Fruit Wine is 800 milliliters — great for drinking yourself or as a gift."

Seeing no one continue buying, the stall owner quickly kept up his hawking.

He was a level-18 Brewer, and his hawking voice was full of vigor.

"Brother Zhou Yi, let's buy a bottle too."

Jiang Churan licked her red lips, her expression quite expectant.

As a Spirit-Taming Swordsman, her primary stat allocation was Strength and Agility.

Her Agility was already above 200 points, so the Green Fruit Wine had no effect on raising her Agility.

She was simply craving it, that's all.

"Sure."

Zhou Yi gave a slight smile and said to the stall owner, "Boss, give us one bottle."

"You got it! Would you like it packaged to go, or drink it here? If you're taking it to go, we have lovely gift boxes. If you're drinking here, we have seats too."

"We'll drink it here."

Zhou Yi nodded and sat down with Jiang Churan at a nearby seat.

This stall sold not only Green Fruit Wine but other wines as well, and at the moment there were other people at the surrounding seats savoring fine wine.

This stall sold not only Green Fruit Wine but other kinds of wine too; right now, there were still other people at the surrounding seats savoring fine wine.
