424. Natural cuisine
Ayn Grant, 69th floor.
In the middle of a vast primeval forest, an altar-like building sits in a clearing in the forest.
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed above the altar, and a black hole-shaped energy portal appeared, and then four figures walked out of the energy portal.
"Hey, is this the 69th floor?"
As soon as he walked out of the portal, Bai Ye looked at this place very curiously, in fact, he was still quite interested in this game world, but the store was too busy on weekdays and he rarely had time to come out to adventure, and this time he finally had the opportunity to look very novel and excited.
"It's all trees, isn't there anything strange?"
After a general look at this place, Bai Ye was a little lost.
"The 69th floor is called the Elven Forest, of course, it's all trees, otherwise you want to see something. β
Erina Nagikiri, who came out immediately behind Bai Ye, glanced at Bai Ye with disdain and said.
"I also want to see some strange scenes, isn't it that some high-end ingredients are grown in strange places, such as the large number of candy growing, the spring gushing out of fine wine, or something. β
Bai Ye said some rumors he heard on weekdays, and couldn't help but yearn for it, these are not some deceptive fairy tales, but real miracles in reality, some food hunters have really discovered such wonders, and he heard that SAO has also made some wonders into game maps, so this time he is ready to see the world, but now he sees this ordinary tree full of eyes, he is naturally very disappointed.
"Impermanence you're talking about the candy forest on the 66th floor, where is there candy all over the ground, the forest is full of candy trees, the class boss lives in the candy hut in the middle of the forest, it's a pretty elf, well, the candy dropped after killing the boss is also very delicious. β
Kiriko walked through the portal, and just heard the conversation between Hakuya and Erina Nagikiri, and couldn't help but interject, mentioning the candy dropped by the boss, she still had an aftertaste on her face.
"Well, as for the spring water gushing out of the wine, there is also a knew, in a secret dungeon on the 57th floor, if you clear the dungeon, you can get a bottle of spring water called the wine of eternal life as a reward, and the wine is also delicious. β
Asuna also said to the white night with a look of reminiscence.
"Well, there are really these. β
Hearing Kiriko and Asuna's words, Bai Ye was surprised, he only played to the 50th floor before and didn't continue the adventure, that is, at that time, the business in his store began to become prosperous, and he had to cut the game time to devote more energy to reality, but now listening to Kiriko and her two say this, Bai Ye feels that he has missed a lot of interesting things, the world after the fifty floors and the first fifty floors are not comparable at all, he wonders if he should spare more time to take risks, anyway, now that the business in the store is also messed up in reality, he doesn't have to be as busy as in the past, he can have more time to play gamesγ
And after hearing Kiriko and Asuna tell some wonders, Erina Nagikiri on the side was not to be outdone.
"The Candy Forest and the Sake Fountain are not magical, the 70th floor has the Sea of Coke, the entire sea is full of Coke, and there are all kinds of magical animals living in the Sea of Coke, and the 72nd layer of the Sky Island, the whole island is actually on the back of a giant jellyfish, and the island has all kinds of ingredients........"
Erina Nagikiri seems to have seen the truth that Haraya has not seen much of the world, and she shows off what she has seen.
"If you have time, you should go out and walk more, and see those natural delicacies, which is very helpful for the growth of cooking skills, even if it is just to see it in the game world, if you practice it behind closed doors, you will soon fall into a bottleneck, and it is impossible to go far." β
After showing off, Erina Nagikiri suddenly changed her words and admonished Hakuya.
The reason why she, the eldest lady of Yuanyue, is so addicted to a game is not all for playing, but also to broaden her knowledge.
In reality, her identity dooms her to travel everywhere, but if she wants to climb to the top of her culinary skills, she must travel abroad.
Blindly immersing oneself in hard work will soon reach the apex of mortal cooking, and then it will fall into a bottleneck, and if you want to go further, you can only start from other aspects, such as condensing the heart of cooking.
Erina Nagikiri is talented, relying on the advantage of the tongue of the gods, although she is only 16 years old now, but her cooking skills are about to reach the peak, she has already fallen into a bottleneck, to the point where she can no longer make a breakthrough by practicing hard, but she is still confused about the kitchen heart, and she can't find the direction, so she can only choose another way, that is, to learn nature.
This is a world of food, in addition to the delicious food cooked by the chefs, there are many natural delicacies in this world, such as the spring called the wine of eternal life that Asuna said before, the wine flowing from the spring is naturally formed, as if it is the supreme delicacy made of heaven and earth, beyond the reach of manpower, and for example, the candy tree in the candy forest, the candy forest in reality does not know how many candy chefs go to explore every year, it is the kingdom of candy, and the taste of any candy tree in it is not inferior to the cuisine of the candy masterγ
Erina Nagikiri has a terrifying talent like the tongue of a god, and her tongue can parse the taste of all kinds of food, so tasting some natural flavors and learning them to make up for her own shortcomings is also a clear way, to a certain extent, to make up for her lack of cooking heart.
In reality, with the abundant financial resources of the Enzuki Group, it is not difficult for Erina Nagi to collect some naturally formed delicacies, but she always feels a little insufficient when she just eats the food, and she also wants to see what kind of magical landform can give birth to these unique and delicious natural delicacies, so Erina Nagi has invested in the virtual game of SAO, in which she can travel to the wonders of various places without leaving home.
And this approach to learning nature hasn't disappointed Erina Nagikiri, whose stagnant cooking skills have recently begun to rise steadily.
Recently, Erina Nagikiri has seen Bai Ye practicing hard there every time she goes online, although she admires Bai Ye's seriousness, but it can't go on like this, so she reminded Bai Ye at this time.
"Oh, is that so?"
Hearing Erina Nagikiri's reminder, Bai Ye touched his chin and thought about it, it seems that there is really such a thing, he has been practicing his cooking skills every day, but the effect is really not very good, except for the basic skills are getting more and more solid, and the recipes that are practiced every day are becoming more and more proficient, there is really no big progress, not to mention anything else, let's just say that he is stuck in the last grid of 69, and he still hasn't climbed over after so many days.
Before, the senior sister reminded him to see the way forward, take a long-term view, don't always stare at the old recipes of the past, and see the future, but he is also confused in this regard, and he has no idea where to start, but today's housemate reminded him that he was stunned, he has indeed been at home for too long, and it is time to go out for a walk, maybe those natural delicacies can bring him inspiration?
Well, what Bai Ye said about going out for a walk refers to walking around in the game, and in reality, he can't leave if he wants to open a store.
"The game world is a great place to be. β
Bai Ye couldn't help but sigh, and then he thanked his housemate seriously.
"Thanks for the reminder. β
For Bai Ye's serious attitude of thanks, Erina Nagi was quite satisfied, but said it on her lips.
"It's nothing, I didn't remind you in particular, it's just a little sigh as a senior elder on the road of cooking. β
She said very haughtily.
Translate that is
Hmph, it's not to remind you to take less crooked paths, you don't have to be sentimental.
Well, that's pretty much what it means. 10
