Chapter 1579: Salt Crisis
Standing between [D-22] and [D-23] is a giant tower called the [Gourmet Research Association], which combines the functions of an extra-large transmission tower and a research group.

That’s right, this building, which is built at the junction of the Food Continent and the Ocean World and looks like an oversized lighthouse, is also a gathering place for a research group.

The name of the research group is [Gourmet Research Association]. Like the exploration group, it is a large organization formed by foreigners who come together due to their interests. Members are not restricted to whether they belong to a guild or not, or even whether they are foreigners.

In addition to the exploration teams that open up new ecological areas and create illustrations, and the Food Research Association that studies the effects of various foods, there are many other strange research teams. Except for some differences in scale, they are almost identical in other aspects.

When approaching the giant tower of the Gourmet Research Association, Blaze clearly felt that he was being targeted, but the feeling soon disappeared. He probably let the person go after roughly judging that he was not an enemy.

Blaze took a look at the boundary between the two terrains.

The biggest threat brought by the earth-shaking upheaval is undoubtedly the environmental change. After the two special terrains, the vertical abyss and the falling abyss, disappeared due to the exchange of authority between the earth and the sun, the most threatening is the ocean world.

Even if the sea level rises by less than one meter, it will turn into a huge flood in an instant.

Not to mention that the sea level from the ocean world of World F is now on average tens of meters higher than other areas, sometimes even hundreds of meters higher, like a huge ocean wall.

In the two areas of the Vertical Abyss and the Falling Abyss, a large amount of soil and rocks on the ground have disappeared, so the ocean area from World F will be several hundred meters higher.

After the first earth-shaking event, the next few earth-shaking crises were actually all about dealing with the ocean world. Many times, they were able to overcome the difficulties because they were lucky enough to have built barriers in advance, or because they had the help of the Tree of Life and the Ouroboros.

But not all areas need barriers. For example, the Gourmet Continent in World D is at the same height as the Ocean World in World F after the flesh and blood of the perfect man Adam was converted into an ecological environment, so it did not cause any disaster.

"What a blessing."

"Not good at all! This is a catastrophe. The world is going to be destroyed!"

A loud roar was like a slap in Blaze's face, causing the corners of his mouth to twitch. This time, the punishment from the God of FLAG came unexpectedly quickly.

Herbie raised his head and listened carefully to the shouts from the Gourmet Research Association, then immediately raised his hand to block Blaze.

"Don't worry, it's a small matter."

"It's a small matter?" Although Blaze was confused, he still sat down obediently, and the chicken flew slowly.

"That person is the head of the food division of [Hermes's Travel Hat], the halfling Taffy, and also the president of the first and only research group organized by locals, the Gourmet Research Association."

Through the chicken's shared vision, Blaze saw the shouting half-ling Taffy on the giant tower of the Gourmet Research Association.

She is a rather petite girl, with a short stature and youthful looks, which are the physical characteristics of a halfling.

This description can easily be associated with dwarves, but it is not. The two races are completely unrelated.

Dwarves only look short in body proportions, but they are actually very large and will quickly grow beards after entering puberty.

Halflings are really short, very light, and look very young. Even if they are over fifty years old, they still look like a young boy or girl.

"Wow, it's a big shot. This big shot is shouting that the world is going to be destroyed."

"The big shot sitting in front of you, who is bigger than her, is saying that everything is fine." Herbie leaned back in dissatisfaction, hit Blaze's chest with the back of his head, and then just looked up at Blaze.

"If I told you what she was howling about, you would think she was making a big deal out of nothing."

"So what is she howling about?" Herbie sat up, turned carefully to face Blaze, and said seriously, "Sweet and salty question?"

"What's the problem?" Blaze suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Herbie repeated his answer to the question of sweet and salty.

"This delicious continent is becoming saltier because of its contact with the ocean world. Tammy, who loves sweet taste, feels like the sky is falling. She keeps asking me to allocate funds to help her save the world."

"Isn't this a big crisis!?" Blaze was shocked.

"Where's the crisis? Because it's salty, the sweet fans won't come? This is indeed a big crisis." Herby showed a funny expression, thinking that Blazer was just joking.

"No, it's more troublesome than that."

Blaze saw that Herbie didn't look interested, so he grabbed Herbie's shoulders and shook him hard.

"Everything in the Gourmet Continent is edible, but if the salt content continues to rise, and there is no limit to its rise, then this place will soon become a biological restricted zone."

"Have you ever seen anything that can survive on salt?"

The careless smile on Herbie's face gradually faded, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Vade! Go, go, go!"

……

[Hermes's Travel Hat] Tammy, the head of the Food Division and president of the Gourmet Research Association, is angry.

When she was 18, she joined the little-known "Hermes' Traveling Hat" and worked there until she was 50 years old this year. She has not yet received the reward she wanted - a huge house made of all kinds of candies, chocolates and biscuits.

Just because she is 50 years old this year, everyone treats her words as a joke or some kind of metaphor.

She herself was a halfling, and although she had taught herself architecture, it was impossible for her to build the candy house of her dreams because she was not tall enough or strong enough, not to mention that using food as building materials was not allowed.

This food continent is her only hope. Everything visible to the naked eye is delicious food. All she needs to do is collect materials like building a normal house.

But her big crisis also followed. The salt content of the Gourmet Continent continued to rise. The Candy Cliff, which was in direct contact with the Ocean World, had turned salty, and the surrounding biscuit trees had also turned salty.

She's a sweet person! Who wants to live in a salty house?
She kept reporting this matter, hoping to get the support of [Hermes' Travel Hat] and allocate funds for her to carry out activities to save this sweet food continent.

Unfortunately, she has not succeeded so far. Recently, she changed her statement and exaggerated the words, saying that the Food Continent was going to be destroyed, but unfortunately she did not succeed either.

Just as she was considering giving up this young and lovely old face and throwing a tantrum to demand funding, a gust of wind blew and a huge shadow loomed over her.

"Minister Tammy, the Gourmet Continent is in danger! We must take action immediately!"

"Great!"
