I've been watching Dragon devise all sorts of ways to try and change the world, but his plans are constantly being thwarted by certain people.
Since the other party isn't playing by the rules, you don't need to follow them either.
Furthermore, Derma 66 is a country, one of the officially recognized member states.
The Dragon could mediate wars between member states, provided both sides were willing to accept it.
As for wars between non-member states, the Dragon Kingdom has no right to mediate.
Therefore, there are loopholes to exploit using this rule!
As for how to drill, I believe Dragon will find out...
Without dwelling on the matter, Fang Rui turned his attention to other things, wondering what the CP would do.
As they strolled through the streets, passersby cast curious glances their way.
Logically speaking, the island is home to all sorts of creatures, and Arceus's appearance is somewhat strange, but it shouldn't be the kind of thing that attracts a lot of attention, right?
Why is everyone looking at me so strangely, as if they're staring at some kind of food...?
"emmm..."
Thinking about this, a flash of inspiration crossed Fang Rui's mind. How should I put it...
He suddenly understood the passerby's thought process!
They... they didn't actually use Arceus as food, did they?!
Not all animals are food!
Don't focus on the ingredients just because it's a cooking competition!
Besides, Arceus doesn't look like an ingredient at all!
It looks terrible...
Arceus, observing the gazes of passersby, could vaguely discern their meanings, much like how top-tier figures possess mind-reading abilities…
'Ingredients? Culinary competition…'
For a moment, Arceus was speechless, feeling that these people had very... wild imaginations!
This is the first time someone has thought of him from the perspective of ingredients; it's truly frustrating!
"Let's go somewhere else?" Arceus said.
Although he didn't mind being watched, those people's gazes were too rude.
"Okay! Follow me..."
With that, Fang Rui turned around and headed towards a certain spot...
Chapter 482 Quietly Watching Your Performance
Delta Island, an uninhabited underground...
Because of the sheer number of guests, even the island's forests have been used, with houses featuring forest characteristics springing up and scattered throughout the woods.
Connecting the various shops is a boardwalk with a unified style.
Therefore, if someone with ulterior motives wants to cause trouble, the only area left that could be used as a meeting place is the underground space that is not being used as a venue.
The underground of Delta Island, whether man-made or naturally formed, is a complex network of caves that are perfect for hiding. Even someone with Observation Haki would need time to find someone here.
"How are you prepared?"
In the dark cave, several people gathered together. Their attire was not uniform; some wore plain black suits, others casual beachwear, and still others just ordinary clothes.
The man in the black suit was the one who spoke earlier and was one of the leaders of these people. He was once a high-ranking official in the Communist Party, and his combat strength was comparable to that of an ordinary lieutenant general. He was skilled in physical combat.
"No surprises, it went so smoothly that I was a little surprised!" someone wearing beachwear replied, his ordinary square face full of serious expression.
Based on his more than ten years of experience in infiltration and sabotage, such a smooth operation usually indicates something unusual. Either the other side already knows that someone is causing trouble and has prepared a trap for the troublemaker to walk into, or the enemy is really stupid and has not realized that someone is causing trouble...
But the situation on Delta Island couldn't possibly be the latter, meaning their operation had already been discovered...
Those present were all elites in the CP (Content Provider) field, and they reached the above conclusion with little effort, causing the atmosphere among them to suddenly become somber.
"No matter what happens, we have no way out! We have no choice but to fight with all our might and gamble on whether we can succeed!"
The man in the black suit spoke in a low, somber tone, conveying a sense of desperation and resignation.
The saying goes that a desperate army is bound to win. The group, having reached a dead end, were prepared to perish together. Even if they couldn't achieve their ideal goal, they wanted to make their opponent feel pain.
"Did you bring me here just to show me how humans fight each other?"
In a deserted, shadowy corner, Fang Rui and Arceus stood quietly, watching the group discuss their plan without making a sound to disturb them.
Besides, even if they made a sound, no one else could hear them except the two of them.
"No, I'm curious to know what they want to do and how they plan to do it."
It should be noted that Delta Island is home to about half of the world's top experts.
Besides, there are also many powerful figures from other worlds on the island, and quite a few people who can destroy the island with a single blow.
To be honest, if the people on Delta Island were allowed to act, they could destroy the world in less than half an hour.
Given such a large disparity in military strength, what would they do?
To achieve the desired goals, what kind of plan should be implemented?
“So…” Arceus looked at Fang Rui, his gaze filled with doubt and inquiry, “What do these things have to do with me?”
"Ahem!" Fang Rui coughed upon hearing this and explained, "These people are planning to cause trouble, but I have no intention of stopping them, so I would like to ask you to keep an eye on them for me."
“I refuse.” Arceus refused to be a tool. “Many people can do the surveillance; there’s no need to ask me!”
"Besides, I'm on vacation, not changing jobs."
Fang Rui was not surprised by Arceus's decisive rejection; from the moment he met Arceus until now, no more than two days had passed...
If a stranger asks you for help, would you be willing to help?
Some people might be willing to help with small things, but most would refuse if it's something very troublesome.
"Don't say that! It's not about keeping an eye on them all the time, but about helping to protect ordinary people when they cause trouble."
Today, Delta Island has a large number of ordinary people, probably close to half, most of whom are from the maritime world.
“Alright!” Arceus did not refuse.
"Thank you." With that, the two left and headed for the floating island.
In the center of the floating island is the competition venue, where rectangular bricks pave a square platform, upon which are neatly arranged stoves.
The surrounding area is filled with storage cabinets containing food, and the storage rooms engraved with runes have a preservation effect.
At this moment, the floating island was deserted and somewhat desolate.
After circling the venue, Arceus's gaze shifted to other areas. Beyond the venue lay a lush forest, but devoid of life. The birds and insects that a normal forest should have were nowhere to be found in this forest…
As the highest point on Delta Island, it offers a panoramic view of the entire island. Combined with the extraordinary eyesight of both the human and the divine beast, it's enough to monitor the CP members.
Arceus kept a close watch on the CP members, but he also kept an eye on other things. There were some things he wanted to experience for himself, but the gazes of others annoyed him.
Why am I being treated as food? Do I look like food?
Frustrated, Arceus examined his own body; from any angle, he had nothing to do with food.
On the other side, Fang Rui appeared to be monitoring someone, but in reality, he was drafting the questions for the second round of the competition.
In a typical culinary competition, the examiners would set the challenges, and then the teams would compete in groups...
A total of 508 contestants advanced to the second round, which is a small number considering that the chefs come from many different worlds.
As for the grouping...
"Each group has twenty-five people, divided into twenty groups."
"Should the extra eight people be randomly assigned to groups, or should they form a separate group...?"
"Let's draw lots! There are twenty questions, let's see what they get, luck is also very important."
As he said this, Fang Rui turned his gaze to Delta Island. It wasn't time for the second round of the competition to begin yet, so he decided to watch the show while he waited…
There are many troublemakers on the island now. Will they be able to discover CP's secret actions?
A halftime game in the cooking competition, combining puzzle-solving, combat, and tracking elements, is about to begin...
Food Street No. 1 – because someone was too lazy to come up with a proper name, streets are always named with numbers like No. 1, No. 2, etc., such as Food Street No. 1, Clothing Street No. 1, Trade Zone No. 1…
Food Street No. 1 is an original street on Delta Island. Most of the people who run shops here come from other worlds. You can see all kinds of cuisines, and the shops that have survived for a period of time all have decent food.
At the entrance of a barbecue restaurant, Feng Baobao and Zhang Chulan each held a paper bag of barbecue, their eyes darting between the shops, seemingly searching for their next target...
However, the unique aromas wafted from all directions, and the food sold in each shop was so tempting that the two were overwhelmed by the choices.
"Hmm? That person..." Perhaps it was intuition, but when Zhang Chulan saw a certain passerby, he immediately frowned and subconsciously felt that there was something wrong with him.
As someone with exceptional reading skills, he can not only analyze a person's psychological state at a glance, but also discern relatively obvious problems.
For example, the person from before seemed to be looking around, surrounded by all sorts of delicious food and unable to choose, but the truth was...
If he truly suffers from decision paralysis, why doesn't he have any food in his hand?
If someone is looking for a particular shop, their gaze should be fixed on higher ground, not cast into dark, hidden corners...
"Is he planning to do something bad?" Thinking of this, Zhang Chulan showed a look of sympathy.
Doing bad things here is like jumping around at the gates of hell. The next second, a bunch of demons will rush out of hell, drag you in, and beat you up.
"Hmm? Zhang Chulan, are you planning to do something bad?" Hearing Zhang Chulan's mutterings, Feng Baobao curiously leaned closer, her eyes sparkling with an unusual light.
"How could that be?! I'm a very honest person, I wouldn't do anything bad, don't talk nonsense!"
Zhang Chulan quickly retorted, "The phrase 'doing bad things' has a broad meaning. If the Xu brothers, who are 'very knowledgeable,' heard it..."
The two wouldn't give Zhang Chulan a chance to explain; they would instantly fill in a lot of possibilities in their minds, and then beat Zhang Chulan up. In someone's words, it was to prevent problems before they arose.
“But you…” Before Feng Baobao could finish speaking, Zhang Chulan raised his hand to interrupt her and corrected her, “The ‘bad thing’ I’m talking about is a stranger. His expression and actions indicate that he is going to do something bad.”
"I see." Feng Baobao nodded in understanding, then added, "Then let's catch him quickly!"
"Why?" Zhang Chulan asked back.
