"Mainly, we've been clashing with the Deep Fried Skewer Tribe recently. You know that roasting and deep-frying are two different cooking methods, but they also have a certain degree of similarity.
Neither tribe recognizes the other, both believing their cooking method is superior, and so conflict arose. Previously, it had always been minor skirmishes, until recently, the friction suddenly escalated…"
Seeing that Lin Chichi wasn't angry, Zhi Bailing pulled over a chair and slowly began to explain, a lingering sorrow in her brows. Then, as if remembering something, her gaze turned to Hoshino Sora, who was mingling with the little girls.
"In about a week, our tribe and the Deep Fried Skewer Tribe will have a culinary duel. The winner will gain one-third of the other's spice cultivation area. The latest batch of spices is about to mature.
If possible, I would like to invite that young man to represent our tribe in the competition. His skill is very high, which is evident from his cooking. He will definitely be able to defeat the expert invited by the Deep Fried Skewer Tribe."
The aroma in the air and the girls' expressions of enjoyment already proved everything. Hoshino Sora was definitely the person with the highest culinary skill on site, at least stronger than everyone in their tribe.
This was also normal; fifty years ago, the strongest person in their tribe was defeated by an unknown individual from this organization. Since then, every ten years, their tribe would challenge this organization, but without exception, they never won once.
That's right, Oriental Academy established an organization called the Eastern Association in the Gourmet Continent and gained a formidable reputation, becoming a large organization in the five nearby regions.
Although the number of members was not large, every single one was a powerhouse. Each time they acted, they would leave behind a legendary tale on the continent. Although these people in front of them were only logistics personnel, their culinary skills were clearly not to be underestimated.
"You want him to represent your tribe in the competition? Is that allowed?"
Sneaking a glance at Hoshino Sora, who had already blended in with the children of the "Roasting" Tribe, Lin Chichi frowned and asked in confusion. He wasn't a member of this tribe, could he still compete?
"Of course, he can. We are competing on cooking techniques, and there are no rules about tribe members. Besides, they were the ones who first disregarded martial ethics by inviting experts from a large tribe to help."
At this, Zhi Bailing's voice took on a tone of indignation. If it weren't for them first inviting chefs from a large tribe to help, they wouldn't have lost so badly in the last competition.
"Whether I can get him to help, I can't say for sure. I can't quite grasp his personality, and he only recently joined our organization. However, I can ask him for you."
Hearing Zhi Bailing's explanation, Lin Chichi was silent for a moment, her gaze fixed on Hoshino Sora's back. She didn't make any firm promises, only saying she would try her best.
"Thank you! If we can win the competition, the supply volume in the future can be doubled."
Zhi Bailing said with a beaming smile. They had been troubled by this matter for a long time and had already decided to seek help from the Eastern Association. Hoshino Sora's appearance was like a pillow delivered when one was sleepy.
"Really? Then I'll have to put in more effort!"
Hearing Zhi Bailing's words, Lin Chichi's eyes lit up. The "Roasting" Tribe supplied multiple organizations to obtain resources such as coins, food, and cloth.
They only accounted for a small portion of it. If it could be doubled, it would definitely be a great thing for Oriental Academy! The members of the Eastern Association fighting on the front lines would also have more confidence.
Next, Lin Chichi found Hoshino Sora, explained the matter in detail, and earnestly pleaded with him.
Facing the "Roasting" Tribe, which needed help, Hoshino Sora agreed without any hesitation. However, he also put forward his own request: that the "Roasting" Tribe provide seeds of the valley spices.
To this, the "Roasting" Tribe also agreed without hesitation. Some seeds held little value to them, and besides, the Eastern Association had asked them for seeds years ago, and didn't they still come to them to purchase the secret spices in the end?
As Hoshino Sora agreed to the Roasting Tribe's request, the system, which had been silent in his mind for a long time, suddenly chimed with a notification, issuing the Gourmet Continent's first quest.
Triggered Quest: Gourmet Continent Debut
Quest Introduction: Having arrived at the Roasting Tribe for your first visit to the Gourmet Continent, they have encountered some troubles that are difficult for them to resolve on their own, and thus seek the help of the Eastern Association.
As a member of the Eastern Association, you stepped forward without hesitation, becoming the hope of the Roasting Tribe.
Quest Requirement: Defeat the Deep Fried Skewer Tribe's contestant.
Quest Reward: ① Reputation Value 10000 ② Spice Flower Spirit * 10
Spice Flower Spirit: A spirit skilled in planting spices, capable of nurturing most spices in the world and enhancing their fragrance during cultivation.
To be honest, the reward wasn't particularly generous, but the Spice Flower Spirit indeed caught Hoshino Sora's attention. Being able to cultivate most spices in the world was truly like finding a pillow when one is sleepy.
"Then it's happily decided~"
Hearing Hoshino Sora agree to her request, the girl's face broke into a satisfied smile. Then, she naturally wrapped her arms around his neck, her good figure pressing tightly against him, making his heart race.
