It's just one dish, there's no need to treat it differently!
"Perhaps it's because my physique is stronger and my senses are clearer," Hoshiguma explained.
"Is that so?" Swire nodded slightly, acknowledging Hoshiguma's guess.
"Waaaaah~" Listening to the conversation between the two, Chen made a little sound. She tried to open her mouth, but was stopped by the golden "X".
Hoshiguma looked at Chen and said, "I feel that the other party's real way of punishing you is to let you see and smell, but not eat."
"That makes a lot of sense." Swire agreed. Delicious food is placed before you, but you can't eat it...
Not to mention, these foods have obvious benefits.
Calling it a punishment is perfectly reasonable.
“You’re being a bit arrogant by speaking ill of me to my face.”
Fang Rui's sudden intervention in their conversation startled Hoshiguma and Swire.
"Huh? They're wrong?" Nian pretended to be surprised.
"You think so too?" Fang Rui raised an eyebrow slightly and turned to look at Nian.
"Yes! In Yan Kingdom, some prison guards will starve prisoners for several days, and then lay out a lot of food in front of them for interrogation."
As Nian recounted his experiences, Xi stood by speechlessly, thinking that Nian was testing the limits of what was to come.
"Then, I'll give you one too."
A golden "X" symbol was stuck to Nian's lips, startling her so much that she quickly wiped her mouth with her hand and tried to activate her power to devour the "X" symbol. However, she was unable to open her mouth, and her power could not be exerted...
"Waaah..." Nian came to Fang Rui's side, grabbed his shoulders and shook him...
Chapter 645 Returning to Longmen
"This will teach you a lesson!"
Fang Rui had no intention of breaking the seal, ignored Nian's prayers, and turned his attention to the live broadcast.
"Penguin Logistics is also a good option; let's send them an invitation!"
With that, Fang Rui instructed the gatekeeper BOSS to hold back a bit, and after defeating Penguin Logistics, to tell them about the event.
At the same time, something that happened in one of the scenes surprised him slightly.
The Rhodes Island employees who had previously left the iceberg have now returned to it and are trying to persuade the gatekeeper to let them into the core area.
However, the last time he was allowed to enter the core area was on Fang Rui's orders. This time, the goalkeeper, who had not received orders, would not let him into the core area, so he was chased and beaten by the goalkeeper.
The ice was melted by the scorching magma, and boiling steam flowed through the tunnels, creating an alternating cycle of hot and cold...
"Let him in..." Fang Rui thought for a moment and then instructed one of the goalkeepers, the lava man.
After all, he and Rhodes Island already had a cooperative relationship, so giving them some special privileges was only fair, just in case they were sending a message.
Judging from the way one of the employees left earlier, it doesn't seem like they'll be returning to Iceberg, at least not anytime soon.
Seeing that the lava man had stopped attacking and left the entrance, seemingly allowing him to enter, the man breathed a sigh of relief; Lady Kal'tsit's mission was finally complete!
But what someone saw after entering the core area...
"...Is it a hallucination?"
The person appeared dazed, suspecting that he had been in the steam for too long and was now in a daze, otherwise why would he have seen such an outrageous scene?
"No, I'm the one who had discussions with them."
A familiar voice roused the person from their reverie. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a familiar face, and their expression immediately became uncontrollable, their lips twitching.
The once imposing and terrifying mysterious man was now being grabbed by the neck and shaken back and forth like a rag by a beautiful woman in a cheongsam...
'I really want to laugh...' Someone lowered his head, trying to stop himself from looking and avoid laughing. However, the image seemed to be etched into his memory. Even if he didn't continue looking, the image continued to replay in his mind.
"If you dare to laugh, I'll turn you into a rat."
Suddenly, a sentence drifted into his ears on the cold wind, making him shiver instantly, feeling a chill from the bottom of his heart, and any urge to laugh vanished without a trace...
Apart from Fang Rui and a certain other person, no one else heard the previous sentence.
"Speak! What brings you here?"
Upon hearing Fang Rui's question, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the collaboration between a behemoth and Rhodes Island, which was worthy of attention from any perspective.
“Ms. Kal'tsit asked me to give you this communicator,” someone said, holding up a communicator.
'Huh? Didn't I leave my contact information beforehand?'
Fang Rui was stunned upon hearing this. After thinking about it seriously for a while, he realized that he really had no related memories.
'No, is my memory really that bad?'
Instead of using magic to access his memories, he continued to try to recall them carefully, but he couldn't remember anything...
'Forget it, there's no need to think about it anymore.'
With a gentle flick of his index finger, the communicator was lifted by an invisible force, traversing more than ten meters, and landed in Fang Rui's hand.
"I'll accept it. Is there anything else?"
"No," the person replied without hesitation, then immediately turned and fled as if a ferocious wild beast were lurking behind them...
Although there were indeed dangers more dangerous than wild beasts behind him...
Ignoring the person who had escaped, Fang Rui examined the communicator. It was somewhat old, indicating that someone had used it before. It had relatively few apps, only some common ones and one social media app.
This social media app was developed by Vilvi and is better than the social media apps used in various countries around Terra.
Opening the social media app, Fang Rui saw a bunch of familiar names, all of them Rhodes Island employees.
The contact pinned to the top of the chat list is Kal'tsit.
Upon entering the chat interface, Fang Rui checked someone's message.
'Before heading to Chernobog, Rhodes Island will make a resupply trip to Lungmen.'
A lynx is coming...
Fang Rui seemed to be deep in thought. Kal'tsit's reply was so swift that Rhodes Island's current situation must be somewhat dire.
After all, Kal'tsit's management skills are truly terrible...
Without dwelling on the matter, Fang Rui said to the group, "Are you full? If you are, let's go somewhere else..."
"Waaah..." Nian gripped Fang Rui's shoulders, her eyes burning with rage.
"Hmm, I know you're full, don't get excited!" Fang Rui gently tapped Nian's forehead, making her let go of his hand and take a few steps back.
"If you have no objections, then leave!"
After saying that, Fang Rui left with Nian and Xi, leaving Xingxiong and the others behind.
After Fang Rui left, the sound of the dragon's breathing suddenly came, and the three of them suddenly felt the pressure of the giant beast.
“I think…” Hoshiguma put down her chopsticks, “Let’s leave as soon as possible! We can talk about hot pot another time…”
“I agree, but I think we could take the pot with us when we leave, and it would be even better if we could take the vegetables as well.”
Shi Huaiya held the bowl and spoke earnestly.
“I never knew you were such a foodie…” Hoshiguma looked surprised, astonished by Swire’s words.
However, she did not object to Swire's suggestion. Instead, she carried the pot and ran out of the core area. Swire poured all sorts of ingredients into a basin and carried the basin and ran out of the core area.
As for Chen, he didn't help the two of them; instead, he was observing the dragon.
When Fang Rui was present, the dragon was like a statue, devoid of any aura. But the moment he left, the dragon's aura appeared like a torrential downpour...
The connection between the two must be very close.
But there was no time for her to investigate now, because she noticed the dragon's eyelids twitch, as if it were about to wake up...
She was well aware of her own strength and had no intention of challenging the dragon, so she turned and left...
Once outside the core area, the officers had already removed the ice and were all sitting on the ice.
Being frozen for a period of time has an impact on them; the most significant effect is the extreme cold, making them shiver...
Furthermore, their clothes were already soaked, making me highly suspicious of the other person's method of thawing them; it was probably the very conventional kind...
"Get out of here quickly..." Chen urged everyone.
Because of Chen's prestige, no one present objected and they immediately got up and left.
Some people's eyes were fixed on the pot that Hoshiguma was holding.
Considering that the pot was taken from the core area, they temporarily suppressed their curiosity.
The group traversed the icy mountain area quickly, encountering monsters three times in just half an hour, as if someone was preventing them from leaving the icy mountain area.
However, Fang Rui wasn't targeting these people specifically; he could only say that their tone was rather unpleasant...
After leaving the iceberg, Fang Rui and his group arrived at Longmen, a remote corner of the slums.
There are no surveillance cameras here, and the area is sparsely populated, so if a few people suddenly appear, they will not be noticed.
"What do you think we should do?"
Rhodes Island had not yet reached Lungmen, and while waiting, he needed to find something to do.
Speaking of which, the arena also takes some time to prepare...
When Fang Rui talked about the arena, he thought of the arena he had already prepared.
'No, we can't waste it!'
The knockout stage will be held in two locations: a dedicated arena within the Terra world, and a mixed tournament involving participants from other worlds.
As for the finals…
Fang Rui's gaze drifted into the distance. How many threats were there in the world of Terra...?
The sea creatures of the ocean, the demons of the icy plains, the demons beyond the Flame Kingdom, and the Burning Wind...
Hmm, I forgot~
Fang Rui hadn't deliberately gathered information about the world of Terra, and wasn't quite clear on what the main threats were...
