Chapter 1286 Is chocolate so precious?!

As one of the eternal protagonists of Valentine's Day, how to make chocolate has almost become common sense.

First of all, chocolate is divided into giri chocolate and honmei chocolate.

So how do you make giri chocolate? Answer: Go to a store and buy some chocolate wholesale.

It doesn’t matter if the process is simple, because it’s not a particularly important thing, just a simple expression of gratitude will do. What if it’s too elaborate and causes misunderstanding?
So how do you make the important hommei chocolate?
Answer: Buy chocolate, then blend the chocolate and put it into a special mold. After the chocolate solidifies, ding ding ding~ the purely handmade chocolate appears.

"Wait! Why do you need chocolate to make chocolate?"

Dali Feizhuan was stunned and discovered a philosophical question that could be called "which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

Kate Cat, who was originally quite confident about the Valentine's Day event, also froze her expression. She has made handmade chocolates every year, but the first step every time is to buy chocolates.

She pinched her brows and carefully recalled the dessert shop operated in [Avalon Paradise], which also used chocolate-related desserts. So how were those chocolates made?
A: It is made by melting the chocolate purchased in limited quantities from the Hermes Chamber of Commerce.

Kate Cat's expression changed drastically.

"Is chocolate really some rare strategic resource?!"

"Everyone, does anyone have any chocolate?"

Everyone started to search their own warehouses, and then they were shocked to find that they didn't have any chocolate at all.

This is not surprising. Chocolate is a food item, and food items are very competitive. Unless they can be made as good as potions and taste so good that you can eat them along with the plate, they are not qualified to be placed in the warehouse.

The only people who have chocolate in stock are the people responsible for purchasing food in Avalon Park.

But these people would read Blaze's expressions and when they saw Blaze's excited expression when he mentioned chocolate, they would immediately give all the chocolate in their warehouse, including the raw material of chocolate - chocolate, since it was not valuable anyway.

Then all the chocolates were eaten by Blaze in three days, and the last chocolate ball went into the mouth of the Eternal Queen Morgan when they realized the seriousness of the problem.

There was no way they could make Morgan, who was so happy, spit out the chocolate ball.

As a qualified leader, Kate Cat realized the need to find a way to correct the major strategic mistake the moment she realized it.

With a screenshot click, Morgan's expression while eating the chocolate ball was captured.

The Valentine's Day limited edition emoticon cloak is available.

After sending the screenshot to [Somado], Kate Cat began to think seriously about the chocolate problem. She walked up to Chiron and asked Jasmine.

According to the setting, the civilization level of the Ark AI should be quite high, and chocolate should not be rare.

"No, there is no such food as chocolate in the Age of Gods." Jasmine answered with data flowing in her eyes.

Kate Cat and Dali Feizhuan looked at each other in bewilderment. This was awkward. How could they celebrate Valentine's Day without chocolate?

If this problem is not solved and the activity is launched, players will just have to search for chocolates everywhere to make chocolate coins.

They discussed seriously why chocolate was so precious but no player was willing to mass-produce it.

After some thought, the answer is quite ridiculous, because chocolate in this context is a flashy high-end food that only aristocrats eat on specific occasions.

Players will only mass-produce one kind of thing, that is, something that can sell well. Compared to chocolate, which is directly ignored by ordinary people and only eaten on Valentine's Day, rice, vegetables, chicken, duck, fish and meat are better.

Even if they were to buy it, only players could afford the chocolate, which was priced in gold coins. Unfortunately, the effect of the chocolate couldn't keep up with the food items, so no one was interested in the chocolate. Currently, the only way to sell chocolate is through the [Hermes Travel Hat].

Questions arise one after another: why is there chocolate in [Hermes's Traveling Hat] and where does their chocolate come from?

Considering the context of the times, chocolate is most likely a trade secret of [Hermes' Traveling Hat], and even if you ask, you may not get an answer.

At this time, you have to let someone with a high enough favorability to ask.

Everyone's eyes fell on Blaze.

This chocolate is not eaten for nothing.

"So that's why you're here? You didn't think of me for a big project like the Valentine's Day event, but gave it to Kate Cat and Ark AI Jasmine, and held it in the Eternal Kingdom. Now that something went wrong with the event, you came to spy on my business secrets."

Herbie closed the account in his hand and looked at Blaze dimly. Blaze touched the back of his head awkwardly.

He finally understood what it meant to be grateful for what one has received and to be soft-hearted when one has received something from someone.

The foreigners did nothing but complain quietly, saying that all the strategic materials for the activity had been eaten up and the activity was over.

Thinking that he had indeed eaten too much, Blaze had no choice but to bite the bullet and go find Herbie.

"This Valentine's Day event was just a spur-of-the-moment idea, and you were also too busy with the [Abyss Hunting Festival], so..." Blaze stopped talking halfway because he was too embarrassed to continue.

"Oh~ Forget it, don't make that face." Hebi held his chin, relaxed his tone and body, and said lazily, "It's just chocolate, this kind of noble food I can get with just a wave of my hand..."

"How many thousand kilograms?"

"How many thousands of pounds?" Herbie snorted, stepping on the table. "I am the president of Hermes's Traveling Hat. I can mobilize my power at will and bring tens of thousands of pounds to the event!"

"And this just happens to solve a recent problem."

"What's the problem?" Blaze was stunned, and after a little thought, he remembered, "Ah, the gem coin issue has not been resolved yet."

Major events followed one after another, so much so that the Gem Dragon Seed is still kept in Arcadia.

Although the golden heart that can serve as a container for the gem dragon seeds to develop into gem veins is already in Hebi's hands, the designated gem mine is located in World L, the living area of ​​the Jinlunga people.

It is not an easy task to move this overweight Gem Dragon Seed, so it has been shelved until now, and the Gem Coin production line has also been shelved.

"To be honest, the gem coins are urgent, so I hope the chocolate coins from the Valentine's Day event can hold out for a while and delay the event."

Blaze's expression became serious. It seemed that there couldn't be any mistakes in this Valentine's Day event. Fortunately, it didn't involve any gods or world-class monsters, so he was just serious but not solemn.

"Then let's hurry to the chocolate venue."

"No rush. I've never paid attention to this business line before. Let me check who is in charge first." Herbie took out a thick employee manual from the warehouse and put Blaze on it as a bookshelf.

"Let me see, the person in charge of chocolate is..."

Herbie's expression became strange.

"Cyrene?"
