Abandoned the Immortal Cultivator, returned to his hometown to farm and sing

Chapter 1311, page 1299: The Rice-Eating Hero

The task for the level with the pig statue with dark circles under its eyes is a trivia quiz.

Miao Xinlei encountered difficulties with his very first challenge.

"Excuse me, who are the pig's best friends? Please answer two," the mechanical voice of the pig statue with black eye circles asked.

Miao Xinlei was quite shrewd; his mind raced, recalling the fairy tales he'd heard since childhood: the Three Little Pigs, the Little Pig in the Red Hat and the Big Bad Wolf, the Little Pig Looking for His Mother…

Let's wait and wait.

It seems that Little Pig doesn't have any particularly classic friends.

The Heavenly Pig Emperor reigns alone for eternity, needing no friends.

Therefore... there is only one answer!
“The pig’s best friends are the other two pigs!” Miao Xinlei answered loudly.

"Wrong answer! Pigs' best friends are garlic and ginger!" The black-circled pig statue reveals the answer.

Simultaneously.

*Ssss* Two streams of water spurted from the pig's nose, splashing Miao Xinlei's face; the water was even green.

Miao Xinlei was so frustrated. Who could have guessed that the pig you were talking about was cooked?!

And what kind of water are you using? Maybe it's gotten moldy from being left out for too long...

Hey, I sniffed it, and the smell is pretty familiar.

It's cilantro water!!!

Hey cats, why are you all so mean?!
You should have said so earlier! I would have put on my raincoat then!
In short, in the trivia quiz, Miao Xinlei and the chubby girl took turns going up, getting thoroughly soaked, and finally guessed one question correctly.

After obtaining the clue for the next level, go to the pine forest and dig out a tree hole.

Then throw sandbags in front of the pine forest to get a bunch of sandbags and a key.

Take the key to the pine forest to find the treasure chest. Use the key to open the treasure chest and find a bunch of sausages, garlic, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, and other things inside.

They are all real ingredients, no longer dolls.

Take these things to the next location to make sausages.

Then give the sausage to the NPC named "Greedy Pig" to eat. Only when he is satisfied can you move on to the next level.

Feeding piglets grilled sausages is hellish enough.

The sausages smell so good! The chubby girl and her friend tried everything to get a taste.

The "greedy little pig" wouldn't give way, guarding against it closely, and ate all the sausages.

Hmph, two hundred people? You'll be stuffed to death!

The chubby girl and her friend were lucky; they found all the usable seasonings except for salt.

The unlucky guy who was grilling sausages with us ended up coming back with apples, oranges, and walnuts after searching for ages. Was he going to get fruit sausages?
And the worst case scenario is not finding any sausages...

The reward for the sausage level is a large sausage and a sausage-shaped pillow.

The next challenge is to take this cushion, walk around East Lake, and go to the lawn with the big windmill on the other side.

As it turned out, there were also robbers on the road who wanted to steal sausages from them.

The "fox" can be driven away by the sandbags obtained in previous levels.

Another chaotic sandbag battle ensued.

We chased and ran until we arrived at the windmill lawn.

It's just a lawn with a tall house in the middle, topped with a big, cartoonish windmill—perfect for taking pictures.

It is also a rest area in this park.

We played another obstacle course here.

Clutching a sausage doll, he climbed over the "frying pan," scaled the "sausage fence," and crawled through the "cured meat," scrambling and tumbling his way through the chaos.

Finally, we arrived at the finish line, the large windmill in the middle of the lawn.

Under the windmill, an NPC dressed as a pig waiter was already waiting.

Holding in his hands the final prop for this treasure hunt—the "Piggy Horn"!
It really is a clarion call!
"How do you use this?" the chubby girl asked curiously.

The pig waiter replied, "Blow it."

The little chubby girl was a bit unaccustomed to it being so simple, and felt that there must be a conspiracy.

So she raised the horn to her lips and blew it.

"Oink~~~" A long squeal came from the horn.

The chubby girl's face flushed red. Why did she make that sound?

Meanwhile, Miao Xinlei burst into laughter, holding up his camera to faithfully record the scene.

Chubby girl's embarrassing history +1
Not long after the bugle was sounded.

One of the three airships that had been drifting aimlessly in the sky drifted over.

And gradually lower the altitude.

The waiter pulled out a gong from somewhere.

Duang~Duang~ It rings.

Suddenly, a lot of people ran out of the windmill. Some were contestants in casual clothes, some were dressed in white chef's uniforms, and some were even carrying shovels.

A group of people stared intently at the chubby girl.

This is a nightmare for me.

One kind person took the camera from Miao Xinlei and urged him to stand with the chubby girl.

"Here comes the most classic one, quick, quick, it's so interesting."

It seems they've all been through this?

Is it about creating a sense of ritual?

Miao Xinlei guessed as he walked over to the chubby girl.

The two had just stood up.

The airship had arrived overhead and hovered steadily about 50 meters above them, casting a shadow like a cloak of glory.

shuh~~
Suddenly, a huge golden circular beam of light shot down from the bottom of the airship, casting a large ring of light around the shape of a pig's head.

It completely enveloped the two of them.

She became the sole focus of attention throughout the entire event.

"Beep~~Beep~~"

A solemn bugle call rang out overhead.

This signaled the start of the ceremony.

After the horn sounded, a deep, powerful, and resonant sound came from the airship.

"Warriors of the field! Raise your heads and look up at the sky!"

Swish!
Everyone below looked up at the sky.

An even more impassioned voice came from above.

"You have won the blessing of the Pig God with your wisdom; you have cleverly outmaneuvered the robbers who sought to steal your happiness, protecting hope; and in moments of confusion, you have listened attentively to the ancient rhythms carried on the wind, rhythms that only the brave can decipher..."

The chubby girl wanted to complain again after hearing this.

Wisdom? Pig God?
Are you referring to the pig statue with dark circles under its eyes that's sprayed with cilantro water?

That guy's name is Pig God...

A robber who stole happiness?
Was it a "fox" that was chased away with a sandbag?

The sausage of love is called hope...

Listen to the ancient melody carried on the wind?

Is that... the squealing sound from the pig horn?

Before the chubby girl could finish complaining in her mind...

The voice above my head rang out again.

"All these adventures, laughter, and flashes of wisdom ultimately converge on the same destination! Today, everyone who has successfully traversed all the fantastic trials and solved the final mystery is our hero."

"Now, let us congratulate them with a thunderous cheer, congratulate our—the brave rice-eating warriors!"

puff~~
The little chubby girl almost spat out her drink when the title was announced.

No wonder only the brave can decipher the ancient rhythms; it turns out they were waiting here.

We're all brave, aren't we? We can understand pig squeals, right?

"Your wisdom and courage deserve to be remembered! The heavens and the gentle breeze are your crowning glory!"

"This is not just a victory, but also a contract! A contract to encounter the ultimate flavor, a contract to prove that happiness will ultimately reward the brave!"

"Congratulations, extraordinary explorers! This glorious moment belongs entirely to you!"

"Now, let us crown the warrior!!!"

As the airship overhead uttered its last syllable, the victory was finally declared over.

It has to be said, it was quite a ceremony. Then, the bottom hatch of the airship opened, and countless golden, glittering pieces of paper poured out, like a "golden rain".

"Wow~~"

The crowd cheered and rushed to the chubby girl and her friends, jumping up to grab the pieces of paper falling from the sky.

This must be something good! Little Fatty and Miao Xinlei quickly jumped up to grab it.

The chubby girl grabbed a coupon and glanced at it. It read: "[Cat Head Delicious Sausage Coupon. Redeem this coupon for a free bag of sausages within one year. Valid for one year.]"

The redemption code is also printed below.

Miao Xinlei also caught several cards and showed them off to the chubby girl, "These can be exchanged for pork jerky, five-spice flavor, a tiger-skin pig's trotter, and a crispy pork belly."

They were all snack vouchers.

Good stuff, grab it while you can.

The chubby girl and Miao Xinlei jumped around and grabbed a huge pile.

Actually, it's not really a robbery. Cat Head was very generous this time, giving out so many coupons that you couldn't even pick them all up.

Everyone gained a lot.

He happily pocketed it.

One of the earlier arrivals even shared some insider information with them: "You're in group six. The top ten get a ceremony and can pick up snacks four times! Haha, that's a year of free snacks!"

The chubby girl remembered that the black boy from Ping'an Ditch had reminded her about the slingshot game, saying that the first person to finish would receive a special prize. This must be the special prize.

Awesome!

Oh right, wasn't there supposed to be a coronation ceremony?
where?
Coming right away.

After distributing the coupons, the airship rose back into the sky and went off to wander around somewhere else.

The pig-shaped waiter who had been banging the gong earlier approached the two of them carrying a tray covered with a silver dome, the contents of which were unknown.

"Honorable hero, please allow me to present you with a crown."

Is the crown placed in here?
Isn't this for serving food?

The chubby girl lifted the cover... and sure enough, the food was being served.

There were indeed two crowns inside, golden ones, quite beautiful, the kind with a ring of pointed tips.

But why is there a tiny sausage stuck on top of each of the pointed ends?
"This... should I just wear it on my head?" the chubby girl asked hesitantly.

It feels so weird.

"Now, raise your sausage crowns—and bite into them! This is the only procedure in the coronation ceremony!" the pig waiter replied passionately.

The chubby girl was speechless. "What the hell is this passion?"

Who gnaws on their crown during a coronation ceremony?!

Miao Xinlei ignored that, picked up a crown, leaned over and bit into a small sausage, chewed it a couple of times and his eyes lit up.

Glug-glug praised, "It's delicious!"

Before he could finish speaking, he leaned over and took another bite, chewing it with great relish.

"Is it really that delicious?" the chubby girl asked curiously. "Huh?"

Pluck off a sharp point.

So the pointed end of the crown is a fork! I held the fork and put the sausage in my mouth, taking a big bite.

Mmm~ It's delicious!

Miao Xinlei: ...Why didn't anyone tell me that the sharp point on top could be pulled off?

What's wrong with me lying on top of it and gnawing on it?
I guess you have a good appetite...
-
With the crown devoured, the game is nearing its end.

Now it's time to enjoy yourself.

The windmill was actually a self-service restaurant.

Upon entering, there is a long table filled with sausages and pork jerky of various flavors.

There were also braised pig's trotters, crispy pork belly, spiced pork jerky, hand-shredded pork strips, Sichuan pepper ham, sizzling char siu, crispy pork meatballs, and so on—snacks from the vouchers that the airship had just dropped.

No vouchers needed today, everyone can eat as much as they want.

The chubby girl and Miao Xinlei didn't hold back at all. They opened their jaws wide and their back teeth bared, stuffing food into their mouths like a whirlwind, not caring about anything else.

This is delicious, that is delicious, everything is delicious.

It's all meat!

We ate our way to the end, and hey, we even ran into someone we knew!

They were the people dressed as chefs in the crowd during the ceremony outside.

They really are chefs; they prepare meals right here.

The main dishes are still pork.

The meal is primarily served cold.

That's understandable, with a constant stream of people coming and going, it's not very convenient to cook hot dishes here.

Electric cooking appliances are allowed; open flames are not permitted.

But cold food is fine too.

Let's start with a pork neck and fresh vegetable salad for a refreshing taste.

Let's also get a mini carnival pork burger to tide us over.

The artisan braised food platter is sprinkled with white sesame seeds, and includes pig ears, pig tongue, and honeycomb tripe, all of which are crispy, fragrant, and chewy.

Grilled sausage! Grilled sausage!
Finally, I got to eat grilled sausage.

The skin cracks open from the grilling, sizzling and dripping oil. Sprinkle one with cumin powder and chili powder, or brush it with honey mustard sauce, or use ketchup or sweet chili sauce for a unique flavor.

One bite and oh my, it's so delicious!

The rich juice bursts in your mouth; it's not fatty, dry, or greasy.

The most amazing thing is that once you eat it, you can't tell whether it's fat or lean meat. It's more like both are mixed together, creating a texture that's indistinguishable from each other.

Perfect...

There's also a golden and white broth made from pork bones, served in a small cup; a sip warms both the heart and the stomach.

For main courses, you can choose between classic meat sauce pasta and ham and sausage pizza.

Children make choices; adults say, "I want them all."

We recommend the peach soda, which has a unique flavor when enjoyed with slices of dried ham.

The best dessert after a meal is bacon caramel pudding.

The silky pudding is topped with crisp caramel flakes and caramelized bacon crumbs, the sweet and savory flavors intertwining in your mouth, comforting your full stomach.

This meal was exceptionally satisfying.

The cat head is awesome.

The only downside is that I have a small appetite. I only taste a little of each dish, and before I can enjoy any of them, I'm already full.

And by the end, you can't tell which one is particularly delicious.

All I can say is that they were all delicious.

Products made by Cat Head are guaranteed to be of the highest quality.

And at the very back of the buffet table.

There is also a small house.

After eating and drinking their fill, Little Fatty and Miao Xinlei went inside to take a look.

Hey!
The shelves here are full of all kinds of merchandise.

Including the pig plushies that Little Fatty and her friends captured, the raincoats and rain boots with pig noses painted on them, the giant sausages they got as rewards for completing the mission, the beanbags and foxes they threw at the fox, the bracelets and pig hats they saw at the cabin, as well as various towels, cups, badges, bowls and chopsticks for eating, and pig tails that could be tied to the back of hats...

Both familiar and unfamiliar items, it's said that all the game items for today are here.

However, it wasn't sold, it was exchanged.

They traded their dark past for it.

The NPC behind the counter took out a tablet computer.

After finding out the winning numbers from the two people.

I pulled up the recordings of the two of them doing their tasks today from the backend.

So there are cameras everywhere.

I took pictures of everything.

All sorts of silly, unlucky, embarrassing, and humiliating moments, including falling flat on your face and getting sprayed with cilantro water... were all captured very clearly on camera.

Awkward……

"However, this is your privacy, and we will not use it without your permission. But, if you allow it... you can change an accessory every ten seconds of footage, and all of these items are available."

hiss~~
How evil! Are you devils?
Temptation from the devil, I'm torn...
