I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 1889 Guessing Rules

The Jiujiu Restaurant has a long-standing reputation and is a mysterious scene that even Lady Sheila from Fairy Tale Town is afraid of.

Chen Lin is very interested in the food in this restaurant.

That’s why we need buns.

He wanted to compare the other party's eighteen-spice buns with his two kinds of buns to see which one was better.

When Zhang Dayou heard Chen Lin's words, he shook his head like a rattle.

"No, that won't work. This is from the restaurant. I'm only responsible for selling it. If you want to eat it, you can only buy it."

Chen Lin raised his eyebrows.

He glanced at Zhang Dayou and said calmly, "After all, I am one of the owners of the restaurant. How can I not even have the right to eat a bun?"

"Besides, you agreed to some conditions when you lost to me in the competition. Have you forgotten them now?"

"I……"

Zhang Dayou's face turned blue and red.

But still persist.

"No means no!"

Then his momentum weakened.

"At least not here. If you want to eat, you can go to Jiujiu Restaurant. You can eat whatever you want there. But here are the rules of Grand Duke Bai Yueguang. You can't give away items for sale. Even I have to buy them for myself."

"That's it."

Chen Lin felt that the other party was not lying.

So I stopped forcing it.

He casually said, "Okay, I won't make it difficult for you. Just buy it for whatever Nightmare Coins you want."

"Nightmare coins are not enough, we need Lanshan coins, one Lanshan coin per cage."

"Lanshan Coin?"

Chen Lin frowned.

He had never heard of this currency.

"It's the currency used exclusively in this place, and you need to guess riddles to get it."

Zhang Dayou explained.

Chen Lin suddenly felt enlightened.

I guess this place, like the sword world, has its own exclusive currency.

From this, it can also be seen that Grand Duke Bai Yueguang can also change the rules of the Nightmare Realm to a certain extent.

Like the Sword Girl, they are not ordinary beings.

"If it was at Jiujiu Restaurant, how much would this basket of buns be worth?"

Chen Lin asked.

He wanted to determine the value of the Lanshan coin.

"There are ten buns in a basket, and each bun is worth one gold nightmare coin, so ten in total."

Zhang Dayou answered truthfully.

But the price was so exaggerated that Chen Lin couldn't help but be shocked.

The sword coins in the Sword Girl scene can be exchanged for the golden nightmare coins at a one-to-one ratio.

The ratio here is actually one to ten!

But he didn't care.

It is probably the same as in the Sword Realm, except that the exchange rate is exaggerated and the actual value may not be that high.

Using gold nightmare coins to exchange will result in a huge loss.

"Can only Lanshan coins be used here? Can Lanshan coins be used to purchase anything?"

Chen Lin continued to ask.

He had suffered a loss once in the sword girl scene, so he would naturally not repeat the same mistake. It was impossible for him to use the universal gold nightmare coins to exchange for the exclusive currency of this place.

However, Zhang Dayou's answer was unexpected.

"This is just what we tourists call it. It is not actually currency, but an item obtained by guessing lantern riddles. When the guessing process is over, it can be used to exchange for rewards."

It turned out to be the case.

Chen Lin nodded.

In this case, the value is difficult to determine.

"Does that mean that Nightmare Coins can be circulated here?"

Where transactions can take place, there must be a monetary system, especially since this place is so prosperous.

Zhang Da nodded.

"Of course you can. After all, this is the Nightmare Realm, but it's not as useful as the Lanshan Coins."

"Although the Lantern Festival is held every one to three years, the time here is different from that outside. One day here is one year outside. During the Lantern Festival, the time difference will be expanded by a hundred times due to special circumstances."

"Invitations are also very rare. Everyone who comes here wants to get precious treasures as rewards. It is impossible for them to waste energy on Nightmare Coins."

"One day here is one year outside?"

"During the Lantern Festival, if the number increases a hundredfold, then one day is equivalent to a hundred years!"

Chen Lin was shocked.

He asked hurriedly, "How long will the Lantern Festival take?"

"Three days."

Zhang Dayou held up three fingers.

"Every time it's three days, fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen, the days when the moon is the brightest and roundest."

"Can I leave midway?"

Chen Lin asked again.

Three days may seem short, but it feels like three hundred years outside!

After such a long time, it is hard to say what will happen in the Alliance, and Rainbow City is probably already built.

He couldn't stay here any longer.

Zhang Dayou shook his head.

"You can't leave midway. Unless you have the ability to forcibly break the rules of this place, nothing else will work."

Chen Lin's face didn't look good.

He was thinking about leaving forcibly if he really couldn't make it, but the other party's words blocked his way.

All we can do is wait patiently for the conference to end.

but.

Three hundred years...

He felt secretly helpless.

Even with his current level of cultivation, he still feels powerless facing the Nightmare Realm. If he takes a wrong step, he will be trapped.

Now that you've come, make peace with it!

There was no way to break the deadlock, so Chen Lin could only accept the reality.

In order to prevent the people outside from worrying, he tried to summon the grass, but failed. It was similar to the scene with the sword girl. He could sense it but could not pull people in.

That's not bad either.

It can be used as a way to inform safety and be summoned once every certain period of time.

Next.

Chen Lin asked for some more information, and Zhang Dayou answered every question.

What a great attitude.

"Well, I still have to sell buns. I've answered all your questions, and that makes up for what happened back then. You and I have nothing to do with each other anymore."

Zhang Dayou ended the conversation and left pushing the steamer.

He walked a few steps and then stopped again.

Looking at Chen Lin, he said, "You are now the owner of Jiujiu Restaurant. If you have the ability, you might as well make some contributions to the development of the restaurant. If Jiujiu Restaurant goes bankrupt, your 10% stake will be of no use."

Chen Lin said nothing.

To decide whether to help Jiujiu Restaurant, you have to go to Food Island first.

If the rules of Food Island do not change, his business there can continue, and there is no need for Jiujiu Restaurant to care.

After all, his demand for gold nightmare coins is not that great now.

Watching Zhang Dayou walking away, Chen Lin also started wandering around.

nice!

lively!

Very artistic!

After looking at it for a while, Chen Lin couldn't help but admire it.

The whole scene is centered on a wide river, with busy streets on both sides of the river and various flowers, plants and trees by the water, each of which is extremely beautiful.

There are various large ships on the river.

There are also some small boats, all of which are hung with different numbers of lanterns, which are very festive.

Besides.

There are water lanterns floating in the water, twinkling like the reflections of stars.

The whole scene is a sea of ​​lights!

There's nothing but lights.

Everything else is just an accessory for the lamp.

Even tourists are the same.

Chen Lin walked under a flower tree, raised his head and looked at the strings of lanterns above.

These lanterns are of regular shape and bright red in color, and are the most common type.

But according to Zhang Dayou, the quality of the lanterns here cannot be determined from the appearance. Just because the shapes are ordinary does not mean the riddles inside are ordinary. It all depends on luck as to what kind of riddles you encounter.

If you want to know what the riddle is, you need to touch it with your hand, and only the person who touches it can see it.

If you touch it again, the riddle will become something else. You cannot cheat by transferring information.

Also.

Every tourist has only one chance to fail.

If you fail once, you can no longer guess the puzzle.

You can continue to play here. The guessing time is two days in total. When the guessing time is over, Grand Duke Bai Yueguang will hold a banquet and invite all the invited tourists to celebrate together.

At the same time, guessing rewards will be issued.

Naturally, Chen Lin would not completely believe Zhang Dayou.

He also asked other people and got basically the same answers.

It is said that this Grand Duke Bai Yueguang is very generous, and the rewards for each lantern riddle are rare treasures, so this lantern viewing conference is a major event in the Nightmare World, and many famous people want to participate.

The price of invitation letters is often driven to sky-high prices.

The one he got from Zhang Dayou was from Jiujiu Restaurant, which was invited to sell delicious food here to increase the variety of food at the Lantern Festival.

In the end, I lost to him.

Jiujiu Restaurant bought another one, and Zhang Dayou paid a huge price for it.

"Only one chance to fail is too strict."

Chen Lin stood beside the flower tree and shook his head.

Guessing riddles was not his strong point, so he would probably return disappointed, having wasted three hundred years of time in vain.

"Haha."

"Brother, you are wrong."

A hearty voice sounded from behind.

Chen Lin turned back.

I saw a short man dressed in green walking towards me, holding a paper fan in his hand, shaking it with every three steps like a young master.

A bit abstract.

However, Chen Lin never judges people by their appearance. Anyone who can come here cannot be an ordinary person.

He immediately bowed and said, "I wonder what you mean, brother?"

The emerald green man did not feel inferior because of his short stature. Instead, he felt that Chen Lin was tall and slender, with disproportionate proportions, and his skin was a low-grade khaki color, and he was far less elegant than he was.

He waved a paper fan slowly.

He shook his head and said, "Although you only have one chance to fail in guessing lantern riddles, as long as you succeed once, you can have dinner with Grand Duke Bai Yueguang and see his peerless beauty. This is more precious than any reward!"

Chen Lin was speechless.

What's so exciting about having a meal with a creature from the Nightmare Realm? He is not a star-chaser.

of course.

The other party is a creature from the Nightmare Realm, and his thoughts may be different from his.

"Thank you for clearing up my confusion, brother."

After responding casually, Chen Lin continued to browse the lanterns.

He found a secluded corner.

The light here is relatively small and is located in a corner, so no one comes near it.

After selecting a lantern, Chen Lin's mind moved and he activated his innate ability.

He was going to try divination.

There is no hope relying on your own abilities, you can only hope for external forces.

The destiny scene unfolds smoothly.

Chen Lin was delighted.

As long as the picture can come out, it can play some role and give him a certain degree of guidance.

But soon his hope turned into disappointment.

The picture can be unfolded, but the long river of fate is in chaos and nothing can be predicted at all.

I thought about it.

Chen Lin urged the little fish clone to merge with the fish of destiny to enhance the strength of the power of destiny.

But it still doesn't work.

The river of destiny is like a stagnant pool of water, with no response at all.

There was no choice but for Chen Lin to put away his innate ability and focus on the lantern again.

After looking for a while, he turned and left.

He strolled leisurely along the riverside, taking in the picturesque scenery.

Observe creatures of different styles at the same time.

When you come across a place with few people, use your innate ability to test the lanterns at close range.

Before I knew it, I had reached the end.

It's even more beautiful here.

The lanterns in the distance became increasingly dense, seemingly real and illusory, like stars in a patchwork, extending into the distant void.

But people cannot pass through.

There is an invisible barrier blocking it, which is different from the road barrier.

"On the 800-mile Lantern River, only a small part of it is open for each small lantern festival. It is only during the grand lantern festival every twelve years that it is fully open. The spectacular scene at that time is enough to overshadow any other grand event!"

Some people in the crowd sighed.

Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

I calculated silently in my mind.

Under normal circumstances, one day here is equal to one year outside, but during the three days of the Lantern Festival, the time increases a hundred times, which means three hundred years.

So twelve years here is equivalent to about eight or nine thousand years in the outside world.

I just don’t know in which year the last Lantern Festival was held, so it’s hard to guess when the next one will be.

Want to bring here.

Chen Lin immediately walked into the crowd to inquire.

It soon became clear that the last headlights meeting was ten years ago, and the next one was still more than two years away.

It looks like it’s been around for 1,200 to 1,300 years outside.

He can really catch up.

"My friend, how can I get the invitation to the Lantern Festival?"

The person being asked was a young humanoid man. Seeing that Chen Lin looked similar, he couldn't help but feel a little closer to him.

He smiled and pointed at the lanterns around him.

The answer was: "Some lanterns have them. You can get them by answering the lantern riddles correctly. You can also exchange them for Lanshan coins when the prizes are distributed."

"Thank you!"

Chen Lin clasped his fists.

The difficulty of the riddles is different, and the rewards are also different. The minimum reward is only one Lanshan coin, and the more difficult ones will not only have a large number of rewards, but also treasures.

But the riddles are not that easy to guess. I walked around for quite some time but no one guessed any of them.

of course.

It has just started, everyone is waiting and watching, and few people choose to guess the riddle.

"it is good!"

"Hahaha!"

"awesome!"

Just as he was thinking about it, a burst of noise came from behind, attracting everyone's attention.

Chen Lin also looked over.

I saw a lantern flickering in front of a tall blue creature, and a ball of indescribably beautiful light floated out from it, dancing around the man.

Finally, he reached out and caught it.

It is a small round object with flowing light. Just looking at it from a distance, you will feel like you are intoxicated by it.

Chen Lin was secretly surprised.

undoubtedly.

This is the Lanshan Coin.

The other party only got the minimum reward, but he had a big smile on his face.

The onlookers were even more envious.

Because as long as you guess a riddle correctly, you can see the Grand Duke Bai Yueguang. Most people seem to be very crazy about this Grand Duke.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go and guess the lantern riddles!"

The crowd at the end who were watching the distant scenery were stimulated and all dispersed to choose the lanterns they liked.

But soon.

They all felt like they had lost their parents and became devastated.

It's obvious at first glance that the guessing game failed.

This made Chen Lin even more cautious about acting rashly.

He saw at least dozens of people touching the lanterns, but the only one who succeeded was the man in blue.

The success rate is too low.

You will definitely not succeed without external help.

Walk back along the river bank and reach the end of the other side.

The situation is similar.

This open river is only about twenty miles long, which is not too wide and is considered small for practitioners.

There was no delay.

Chen Lin left the riverside and walked up to the bustling street, tasting the different styles of food while sensing the lanterns here.

Three hours later.

Having gained nothing, Chen Lin returned to the river.

A slight jump.

Fly onto a ship.
