Chapter 290: A World Changed by the Laws

Not long after Lin Bai regained consciousness, the people around him also began to wake up one after another.

Before they knew it, these people had already gathered in a circle around Lin Bai.

Even the Zhenbei Army and players inside the city walked out of the Defense Array, staring straight at the meat skewers in Lin Bai's hands one by one.

When they regained their senses, they were all flustered, and looks of terror were written all over their faces.

A piece of delicious food had actually made them voluntarily abandon a safe zone.

It was fortunate that Lin Bai was not an enemy; otherwise, he would only need to cook a dish outside the city to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

It was also fortunate that Lin Bai had previously beaten all the enemies into submission; otherwise, given the gap in cultivation realms, they would have been finished the moment they stepped out of the Defense Array.

Is this the Way of Cooking?

Damn, none of the Fazhe Zhidao are easy to deal with...

The players were in an uproar.

In the game, they possessed real five senses, but being attracted to the point of losing their minds by the fragrance still made them feel it was incredibly unbelievable.

The most critical thing was that after they woke up, they were still drooling, looking longingly at the grilled meat in Lin Bai's hands, wishing they could pounce on it and take a bite; that was even more abnormal.

Had the Game Company, in order to highlight Lin Bai's Skill, already resorted to unscrupulous means and directly attacked the taste centers in their brains?

This was going a bit too far!

Lin Bai now had the cultivation of the Great Vehicle Realm, and his perception was far sharper than others.

He clearly felt that it wasn't just the Cultivators around him; the moment the fragrance drifted out, the insects in the grass and the beasts with keen senses all rushed toward his location. However, these ordinary beasts were frightened by the pressure of the Cultivators, and once they regained their senses, they stopped advancing, yet they did not leave for a long time, lingering back and forth, and there was a trend of them gathering more and more...

Is this an uncontrollable Zhaofeng?

A bit interesting!

But it doesn't seem to have much use in actual combat.

After all, no enemy will wait for you to finish cooking without attacking you during the process...

However, what is better than Zhaofeng is that the people attracted will not launch an attack on him, and their sanity seems to be affected to a certain extent.

In short, there are pros and cons!

The powerful effect of the Skill made Lin Bai full of anticipation for the upcoming mission rewards.

Out of caution, Lin Bai did not taste the meat skewers himself, but instead handed the skewers in his hands to Ye Song, Cen Qing, 【Baiyin】, 【Lin Family Madam】, and two Demon Beasts, one male and one female, that were closest to him.

Natives, players, and Demon Beasts—Lin Bai took care of every type, and he also separated them by gender.

He wanted to thoroughly study this food filled with enticing fragrance.

Watching the objects of Lin Bai's meat skewer distribution, Xu Longyun was stunned for a moment and did not speak.

The little white fox, however, turned from anticipation to disappointment; she looked longingly at Lin Bai and kept licking her lips: "Master, I want some too."

"I'll give you some in a moment." Lin Bai nodded at her and continued to grill the remaining meat skewers. It had to be said that once one mastered exquisite culinary skills, cooking became a pleasing and enjoyable thing.

After the meat skewers were in their hands, the fragrance became even more enticing.

Ye Song and Cen Qing saw through Lin Bai's purpose at a glance, but their Great Vehicle Realm willpower allowed them to still restrain themselves from tasting the meat skewers in their hands.

But the players and Demon Beasts didn't care about that much; the moment the meat skewers were in their hands, they couldn't wait to put them into their mouths.

The moment the meat skewers entered their mouths, the people around them, following their actions, swallowed their saliva in unison.

Hmm!?!

Four sounds of extreme comfort were emitted from their mouths simultaneously.

Numbing, piercing straight to the heart...

Huh?

What's the situation?

In the incredulous eyes of the crowd.

【Lin Family Madam】 sat slumped on the ground with her calves splayed outward, her eyes dazed, her face flushed, and she murmured uncontrollably: "Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the moment I bit down, the fatty, tender meat juices exploded in my mouth like a volcano, ah... this fragrant, rich, and mellow texture... ah... this is... Bai, feed me..."

【Baiyin】 was no better off than his companion; his left hand was in a hollow gripping posture, as if he were kneading something: "... this is... this is the taste of ultimate happiness... just like lying on the clouds... the most beautiful fairy is massaging your whole body..."

And the two Demon Beasts revealed their original forms in an instant, making sounds of unknown meaning, releasing their most primitive nature, flying in the air, wandering freely...

"This..."

"This is..."

Witnessing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded.

Xu Longyun's face felt slightly hot, and she quietly glanced at Lin Bai, her eyes carrying a hint of coquettishness; ever since Binding Immortal appeared, Lin Bai's Skills and divine abilities had become increasingly indecent.

The little white fox looked at them blankly, swallowing her saliva hard, and muttered: "Is it that delicious?"

Jiang Qingqin's pretty face turned red, and she gently pursed her lips.

The Duke of Zhen's eye twitched again; the slight favorable impression he had finally developed for him vanished in an instant. If you create these strange and bizarre divine abilities and still say you aren't a demon, only a ghost would believe you!

Heavenly Dao, bah!

I must think of a way to take my precious daughter away from his side; otherwise, my own dignified and virtuous little darling might be ruined by him into who knows what!

"Too exaggerated!" 【Deng Li Buduo】 widened his eyes and said incredulously, "What did Shopkeeper Lin put in the meat skewers?"

"Even cartoons aren't acted like this!" 【Xiashan Hu】 pressed his legs together, swallowing his saliva incessantly, "Are they really eating meat skewers? I don't know why, but I suddenly want to watch the little white fox eat meat skewers. What should I do?"

"You just want to see the little white fox eat meat skewers; I, damn it, already want to log off and open my private collection," 【Wo Bushi Xiaohao】 said, "Binding Immortal, Spring Key Skewers—what kind of strange and bizarre Skills did the game officials arrange for Shopkeeper Lin? The direction of this game is becoming increasingly indecent."

"To be fair, I want to learn this Way of Cooking," 【Longxi】 said.

Watching the reactions of the Heavenly Descended and the natives after they ate the meat skewers, fine beads of sweat seeped out on the foreheads of Ye Song and Cen Qing.

The two held the fragrant skewers in their hands, and for a moment, they actually didn't know whether they should put them in their mouths!

Damn it!

The effect of the Spring Key Spirit!

Lin Bai saw through at a glance where this so-called "Fragrance Assault" Skill of the Chef God System came from.

The moment he saw the effect, he decided that no matter how great the difficulties he encountered, he would continue to carry out the tasks of the Chef God System.

An unreasonable Skill from the two-dimensional world; there is no cooking art in the world more overbearing than this!

"Eat! Look at how much they are enjoying it, completely immersed in the charm of the gourmet food; there is no poison!" Lin Bai encouraged Ye Song, "Don't you want to take me as your master? If you don't experience the Way of Cooking yourself, how can you comprehend the Law of the Way of Cooking?"

The Fazhe Zhidao pursues the ultimate; if you cannot release your nature and are constrained by all kinds of worldly things, then you will have no hope of practicing the Fazhe Zhidao for your entire life.

Ye Song, my energy is all on the Heavenly Dao and the Way of Love; the Way of Cooking has only just entered the door, yet it has such miraculous effects. Don't you want to comprehend the true Law of Cooking, become a Kitchen God, and stew the world in one pot?"

Ordinary people and Demon Beasts have tried it; of course, one must also see the effect on the Great Vehicle Realm.

"Master, if you don't taste it, you can give it to me." The zombie-faced Ye Lan looked straight at the meat skewers in Ye Song's hand, saliva flowing down the corners of her mouth, yet there was no expression on her wooden face, "I practice the Dead Man Sutra and have not known the fragrance of meat for many years, but the skewers roasted by the Alliance Leader have stirred up my appetite..."

"Dream on." Ye Song glanced at the 【Lin Family's First Lady】 who was slumped on the ground, and without hesitation, stuffed the meat skewers into his own mouth. Even if he made a fool of himself, he could not let his woman lose face, not even if she practiced the Dead Man Sutra.

Seeing Ye Song eat the meat skewers, Cen Qing's face turned red, and hardening her heart, she also stuffed the meat skewers into her mouth.

Mmm!

A soft moan!

With two strange moans, Ye Song flew into the sky. Cen Qing, as if no one else was around, tore off her already tattered outer garment, revealing her fragrant shoulders with a flushed face...

Ye Song and Cen Qing followed in the footsteps of the players; the willpower of the Great Vehicle Realm had no more resistance to the food.

The complexions of Xiao Yu and several other sober Great Vehicle Realm experts were not very good. They looked at each other and were shocked to discover that, when facing the Law, they were becoming increasingly powerless; years of cultivation meeting the Law was simply like a joke!

Crack!

Crack!

Cen Qing is a Great Vehicle Realm expert of the Moon Spirit Sect, and her lethality is far from what the face-pinching players can compare to. The players and the viewers in the live broadcast room took screenshots at the first opportunity.

Huangye Lang raised a digital camera to record this rare scene.

The battle outside Zhen City gave the players too much insight.

Bullet comments flew wildly, covering the screen.

"I'm definitely learning the Way of Cooking, not for anything else, just to cook for NPCs."

"I'm learning the Way of Cooking, not to cook for anyone, just because I like the culinary arts."

"The Way of Cooking is too low; the Binding Immortal of the Way of Love is more suitable for me."

"The combination of Binding Immortal and the Way of Cooking must be the most wonderful thing in the human world."

"If the culinary arts of a cooking school could have this effect, I wouldn't still be unable to find a job."

The immersion effect of the food varies from person to person. Ye Song and Cen Qing are in the Great Vehicle Realm and were the first to recover, lasting less than ten seconds.

After recovering, they were not ashamed of the side effects of eating the gourmet food; instead, they wolfed down the remaining meat skewers, still wearing expressions of wanting more.

Next to recover were the two Demon Beasts; their performance was exactly the same as the two of them, and the first thing they did upon waking up was to eat the remaining meat skewers...

Facts have proven that the astonishing effect of the Way of Cooking is only useful when eating the first bite; if you continue to eat, the effect will not persist.

But this is already enough.

You must know.

The Great Vehicle Realm experts were addicted for about ten seconds or so; these ten seconds of being completely defenseless are fatal if an enemy is encountered.

That was ten seconds of completely losing oneself, which cannot be compared to the bewitchment of a fox demon.

The players were the last to wake up.

The first moment they woke up.

Private chats in the team channel drowned them out. Everyone was asking about their feelings at the time; after all, their expressions looked very comfortable and very dissolute.

【Baiyin】 looked at the meat skewers Lin Bai was still roasting, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said: "Incomparable deliciousness; that feeling is like the last twenty years of meals were eaten in vain. If there were such food in reality, I think I would go bankrupt to eat it. Compared to the food made by Shopkeeper Lin, the delicacies I ate in the game before are dog shit."

【Lin Family's First Lady】 said: "Especially, especially delicious, much more refreshing than that whatever; it's like having countless little elves massaging the taste buds in your mouth at the same time, fragrant all the way from your mouth to your stomach—no, fragrant to every cell. In a trance, I felt as if I saw Shopkeeper Lin feeding me personally; there were hallucinations, like I was flying. I might never be able to leave Shopkeeper Lin again; he has already conquered my stomach."

"Are there any side effects?"

"What is Shopkeeper Lin feeding you?"

"What did he use to feed you?"

"Little elves? Shopkeeper Lin's little elves, right!"

The conversation on the male players' side was still normal, but the words from the Lin Bai Support Group went off the rails in no time, all kinds of dirty jokes, all kinds of "old drivers."

Lin Bai was amazed to hear it.

However.

Compared to the reserved natives, Lin Bai could get more detailed information from the players.

The food made by the Chef God System does indeed cause people to have hallucinations. The hallucinations vary from person to person; it is the kind of imagination that makes people feel most comfortable. After eating, one will feel very satisfied and happy, from body to heart, with no side effects...

Having verified the effect of the Chef God System's new Skill, Lin Bai couldn't be bothered to continue roasting food. After hurriedly finishing the meat skewers in his hand and demonstrating the miracle of the Way of Cooking once more, he distributed the roasted skewers to the thick-skinned players who begged for them, letting them distribute and enjoy them.

Then, under the disappointed gaze of the little white fox, he packed up the remaining ingredients and called for everyone to return to Zhen City.

Lin Bai knew the little white fox was gluttonous, but knowing the effect of the Way of Cooking, he certainly wouldn't let the little white fox reveal a charming demeanor in public.

At worst, he would make some food in private to satisfy her cravings...

To tell the truth, he also quite wanted to taste the dishes produced by the Chef God System, but eating this food was too dangerous; he had to find a safe place.

……

Because the Zhenbei Army had all been drawn out of Zhen City by the aroma of the food, returning to the city had become a problem, and the activated Defense Array blocked everyone.

However.

This could not stump Lin Bai.

With Qingyu and Hua Xi, one card was released into the city and one card was left outside the city, a Magpie Bridge was connected between the two, and a group of people holding hands entered the impregnable Defense Array with ease.

Seeing this scene, the Duke of the State's old face turned black, filled with worry, and he became increasingly wary of the Fazhe Zhidao.

The Defense Array was the Taiyi Kingdom's final barrier against cultivators. But once the Fazhe Zhidao was popularized, this final barrier would be as good as useless; if a Cultivator really mastered the Way of Cooking, the Taiyi Kingdom would truly not even know how they died.

The appearance of the Fazhe Zhidao meant that previous modes of warfare had lost their effectiveness, which was truly a headache……

Sigh!

The Duke of the State let out a sigh, looked at Lin Bai, and felt it was very necessary to have an in-depth discussion with him to ban the circulation of the Fazhe Zhidao; at the very least, they should prioritize their own people practicing the Fazhe Zhidao before spreading it externally!

Nowadays, the one thing the Duke of the State was most grateful for was that Lin Bai had first appeared in Jiamu City and had met Xu Longyun; otherwise, the Taiyi Kingdom's situation would likely be even more difficult than it was now……

……

From this point on, the Battle of Zhen City came to an end, and Lin Bai and his Justice Alliance won a complete victory.

The addition of the ten sects' Great Vehicle Realm experts meant that the Justice Alliance had officially stepped into the ranks of first-rate powers, qualified to contend with the Righteous Seven Sects and the Demonic Five Sects.

In this battle, Lin Bai's gains were the greatest.

Not to mention the several powerful Skills gained from completing system tasks, the three Great Vehicle Realm Puppets—Wen Ba, Gu Yi, and Qiu Liang—alone were enough to ensure Lin Bai could crush those of the same Great Vehicle Realm rank, especially Wen Ba of the Heavenly Demon Sect, whose Heavenly Demon Art's powerful body-repairing effect made Lin Bai even more formidable.

After all, Lin Bai himself possessed ten times the recovery ability, and added to the Heavenly Demon Art, he was nearly an Undying Body.
