Chapter 101 Actually Isn't That Impressive (Additional Update 9/65)

"It's so lively, I remember when I used to visit Lancaster, I never saw so many people!"Elanna, accompanying Kael, was thrilled, having just ridden a horse with him, feeling the strong wind blowing, and the tense stiffness in her body seemed much relieved.

But players are still players, while other stalls were seriously riding on the rising crowd to do business, they were...

Hey, just playing!

Of course, there were players squatting on the ground making some sort of dark cuisine, and naturally, there were those who hoped to make a quick buck at the festival. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Kael saw the Guarantor and several other club players bustling about a stall that displayed neatly skinned wolf pelts, although the skill in skinning was somewhat unbearable to watch.

However, it looked like the wolf pelts were just there for show, as they weren't really selling them; instead, they brought out large amounts of wolf meat and started making charcoal-grilled wolf steaks.

Kael shook his head and led a group of people over.

Soon, the players noticed this conspicuously distinctive group of visitors.

"Those Undead are really generous; the prices of this food are lower than the cost," Luxius noted as he walked alongside.

"Would you like to try those charcoal-grilled wolf steaks with me?" Elanna asked as she watched players continuously placing portions of steak on the grill, her interest slightly piqued.

"I don't think you'd like the taste," Kael chuckled softly.

"Shadow Wolf meat is not inedible, but it requires some special seasoning. You'll understand when you get a chance to visit the Twisted Jungle.

We have a custom of eating wolf meat at our camp in the jungle, but it always needs to be properly marinated beforehand; cutting it straight from the carcass and grilling it, as they are doing, will not remove the gaminess of the wolf meat."

Elanna nodded, suppressing her curiosity.

"Damn, I can't eat anymore!" Someone collapsed on the ground, craving ice pops, feeling bewildered why this game didn't have an extra-dimensional stomach, already full after only a dozen types of food.

"Bugs! Fresh bugs! Crispy chicken-flavored, two for one, now free for a huge giveaway, come try them!" Coconut Water Mixed with Green Tea energetically promoted his new product.

Taking Off Lemon looked at him with eyes that saw a ghost, seemingly understanding the painful story behind his achievement.

"Is this the dark cuisine you developed after getting lost in the forest for 15 days?" he couldn't help but shout.

Coconut Water Mixed with Green Tea smiled sheepishly, saying, "It's not really that impressive, I guess. Grassroots, tree bark, bugs, even some unknown meats marked as 'Desperate Meat' are all eatable.

But I always feel that the descriptor for 'Desperate Meat' looks a bit off. I still have one piece in my backpack, and another..."

Luxius paused as he passed by, walking up to Kael and saying:

"I would advise you to warn Coconut Water Mixed with Green Tea that not all meats are edible."

"Hmm, what happened?"

"Divine Arts of reconnaissance are also possessed by some priests under various deities. The term 'Desperate Meat' specifically refers to the meat of the Caster's own kind."

Kael was taken aback for a moment, then went over and patted Coconut Water Mixed with Green Tea on the shoulder, asking him to explain the situation to the guards at the Lord Mansion after the festival ended, and he elaborated on the true nature of the meat.

Then he walked away as Coconut Water Mixed with Green Tea wore a conflicted expression.

Another player went mad... Coconut Water Mixed with Green Tea looked at the meat on his grill and silently threw it into the trash can, retreating to a corner to "rua" away.

He had almost eaten it.

But in a moment, he picked the meat out of the trash can again, considering it could likely be a quest item.

Forget it, let's enjoy the festival for now and worry about it later.

He was now scenting the aroma of grilled meats nearby, and he had had enough—even feeling nauseous.

Compared to the players' messy cooking, the food prepared by the devotees of the Harvest Goddess was a lot more normal.

The main thing about the devotees' food was that it was about serving large quantities that filled you up and used fresh ingredients, so much so that there was a long line at their booth.

Jiu Yue Heavy Industries was a different story.

Perhaps because of the festive atmosphere in the industrial area these past few days, the founders of Jiu Yue Heavy Industries had gone wild.

Especially Jiu Yue, who clamored about performing a "fireworks show." She then went to the industrial area and fetched a bucket of molten iron still steaming hot, made the crowd step back, and started splashing the iron around with a shovel.

The glowing molten iron splattered like fireworks midair and then she started screaming in pain shortly after.

But what could you say, players going crazy was genuinely frightening?

Jiu Yue was tenacious too, even as her health rapidly dropped from the burns, she kept at it without any protection, continuing until all the iron was scattered, and then she snapped her neck and dropped dead on the spot.

While the native townspeople screamed in shock, it also caused quite a stir at the scene.

But soon, as Jiu Yue resurrected and climbed back up, the village residents, after calming down and marveling, truly believed that these folks indeed had the ability to resurrect from the dead.

"Quite interesting!"

Luxius's eyes glinted as he said, "Using one's body as the anchor and soul as the link, reuniting soul and body through the grace of the Harvest Goddess at the cost of reducing bodily fatigue and exploiting its strength, to resurrect a person.

It's a marvelous act, fitting of a divine entity, wouldn't you say?"

Seeing Mr. Luxius in thought, Kael confirmed once again that Luxius was indeed a serious scholarly Mage, just with a tad bit stronger combat abilities.

But Jiu Yue's trouble-making capability was just too strong.

Seeing the chaos she caused at the scene, Kael decisively called a sentry and had this troublemaker caught and taken aside for reflection.

The debacle eventually settled down with the N95 masks produced by Jiu Yue Heavy Industries being offered at a future discount of 30%.

Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the distance.

A truck as big as a heavy-duty vehicle slowly pushed its way towards the entrance of the banquet.

On the truck there was a gigantic wooden barrel with an outlet, and a nun standing on the truck ceaselessly scooped up the beer flowing from the outlet with a large spoon, pouring it into crude wooden cups and handing them to the players around.

The other nun scooped up steaming handfuls of stir-fried barley from another barrel on the truck and poured it into the bowls of passersby.

Kael, on his way there, grabbed some, first handing it to Elanna and then to Lily, who was drooling nearby, and laughed,

"You must have encountered plenty of Harvest Festivals in the Royal Capital, but they can't celebrate as openly as here. Talking about liveliness, it lacks something here."

The two women nodded.

The golden fried barley, emitting a faint spicy aroma, though Elanna thought it didn't smell as good as Kael, once Kael spoon-fed her a bite, she crunched into it and her eyes lit up:

"Delicious!"
