The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 16 The correct way to open
Standing still, Qin Lang closed his eyes and entered a state of inner vision.

The Traveler's Book was still the same as when it was first seen, floating calmly in the inner space of the Tianshu Star Vein, without any movement.

Qin Lang made a move and the Traveler's Book flew into his hand.

He opened the first page and carefully observed the details in the landscape painting with a thoughtful look.

He was very sure that the landscape painting corresponded to his current location. According to his previous speculation, the Traveler's Book should have changed under such circumstances, but at this moment the Traveler's Book remained motionless.

What's missing?

Qin Lang looked at the scenery in the book and suddenly his heart moved.

Could it be...

angle?

What would happen if you stood at the same angle as the landscape painting?
He hurriedly exited the state of inner vision and adjusted his position little by little around the pigeon stone sculpture until the image he saw completely overlapped with the Traveler's Book.

"Gulu?"

Danbao, who was held in Qin Lang's arms, made a puzzled sound.

From the moment it entered the park, it couldn't understand Yu Lingchu's behavior.

"I'm looking for a special angle." Qin Lang smiled.

"Wow--"

A slight sound suddenly came from his mind, making him pause.

This sound…

An excited look appeared in Qin Lang's eyes.

It's the sound of turning pages!

He closed his eyes again and soon entered the state of inner vision again.

The first time he saw the Traveler's Book, he knew he was right.

Because at this moment, the Traveler's Book is glowing!

With a wave of his hand, the Traveler's Book flew into his hand and the first page opened automatically. The landscape painting inside had been replaced by a clear photo, which was exactly the same as what Qin Lang saw with his naked eyes after adjusting the angle just now.

At the same time, a small green check mark appeared in the lower right corner of the first page.

Does this mean it's done?
Qin Lang's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but reach out to flip through the Traveler's Book.

This time, he easily turned the first page that he had been unable to turn before.

The second and third pages of the Traveler's Book appeared before Qin Lang.

Qin Lang's gaze fell on the second page.

Unlike the landscape painting on the first page, the second page appears very monotonous, with only a dark purple round gorgeous gem painted in the center.

However, when he saw the familiar gem, Qin Lang couldn't help but gasp, "This is..."

He reached out and touched it tentatively, then came out of the inner vision state, and the gem he had just seen appeared in his palm.

Qin Lang carefully observed the gem in his hand and took out the brochure for comparison, his expression becoming more and more surprised.

"It's really the Star-Clearing Stone!"

Danbo blinked and looked at the gem that was so close.

For some reason, it could feel that this very beautiful stone had an amazing attraction to itself, causing it to swallow subconsciously.

"Gulu?"

"The Star-Clearing Stone is a special gemstone that contains a large amount of star power." Qin Lang introduced it with a smile. "The strength of a Spirit Eater is related to its attributes and combat skills, but the most important thing is its level."

"And there are four ways to upgrade your level."

"The first is to naturally absorb the star power in the environment to increase one's level. The efficiency of this method depends on the environment, and generally speaking, the improvement is very limited. In the later stages, it may even take decades to reach one level." "The second is to engage in a soul-eating battle. After the battle, regardless of the winner or loser, the battle atmosphere will enable them to quickly absorb a large amount of star power, and the winner will be able to absorb more."

"The third method is to eat origin delicacies. The dish that each food spirit originated from is its origin delicacy. For example, your origin delicacy is egg fried rice. Every time a food spirit eats an origin delicacy, it will improve slightly."

"However, there is a limit to the improvement of Origin Gourmet. Only the first 2-3 times a day will be effective. It cannot be improved indefinitely."

"The last type is the Chengxing Stone." Qin Lang looked at the Chengxing Stone in his hand and spoke softly, "Chengxing Stone can be directly absorbed by the Food Spirit, quickly raising the Food Spirit's level, but its output is extremely rare and the price is high."

Unexpectedly, by finding the scenery in the Traveler's Book, you can actually obtain an expensive and rare item like the Clear Star Stone.

"Come on." Seeing the eager look on Danbao's face, Qin Lang smiled and handed the Chengxing Stone to it, "Just swallow it directly."

The egg yolk head of the egg baby flew out of the body impatiently and swallowed the sparkling clear star stone in the night in one gulp.

"Ouch!"

The gorgeous starlight shone around the egg baby and dissipated after a moment.

The size of the egg treasure did not change, but Qin Lang clearly felt that it had become stronger.

Take out your phone and scan it, and new scan results will appear.

[Type: Spirit Eater]

[Level: Lv7]

【Taste attribute: salty】

[Elemental attribute: Fire]

【Food skills: fresh and full of freshness】

[Combat Skills (excluding self-taught skills): (Fire) Breath of Fiery Flame]

[Experience Value: 1/100]

"It's actually increased by 6 levels in one go." Qin Lang showed a delighted expression, "If I get another one, maybe I can directly upgrade to a one-star."

"Egg, let's go home!"

"Gulu!"

In the bedroom, Qin Lang turned on the desk lamp, sat at the desk with a paintbrush, and carefully sketched on a piece of white paper.

Danbao landed quietly on the empty space on the desk next to him, holding his breath and watching Qin Lang's movements with wide eyes, afraid of disturbing him.

Time passed little by little, and the originally blank paper was soon covered with flowers, plants and trees. Qin Lang closed his eyes and paused for a moment, then changed a paintbrush and outlined an exceptionally gorgeous flower in the center of the picture.

This flower stands out among the flowers and plants. Its petals are divided into four colors from the outside to the inside: red, orange, pink and white. It looks a bit like a lotus, but grows in the soil.

After finishing the last stroke, Qin Lang put down his brush and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally done."

A top chef not only needs to have good cooking skills, but also needs to have some knowledge of carving, calligraphy and painting, or at least have a certain foundation, so that the dishes can be presented more beautifully.

Qin Lang's painting skills are far from exquisite, but he can still depict the scenery in the Traveler's Book so that people can recognize it at a glance.

Yes, what he was drawing at this moment was the third page of the Traveler's Book.

After taking out the Star-Clearing Stone, the second page of the Traveler's Book became completely blank, and the third page was a landscape painting similar to the first page.

After the experience that night, Qin Lang already had a general understanding of how to use the Traveler's Book.

The first and second pages are the same. After finding the scenery recorded on the first page, you can unlock the second page and obtain the items on the second page.

By the same token, he only needs to find the scenery recorded on the third page to obtain the items on the fourth page and see the contents of the fifth page.

Regardless of the origin of the Traveler's Book, it has become an important reliance for Qin Lang.

Or, you could call it...

Goldfinger?
