Chapter 196: Calculation

The Pirate Party is not the mainstream party in Europe in Lin Ling's memory, but it is also one of the most influential parties in the online world in his memory.

The Pirate Party is the only party that encourages online sharing, which is unusual in conservative Europe, and some media outlets have even placed the title of extremist on their heads. The Pirate Party relied on online voting and the support of young people to successfully enter the European Parliament three years ago and secure a seat. However, they soon discovered that the European Parliament was only a background map for the big men, and that in order for them to really have a voice, they must first have a seat in the parliament of one country and one city.

It's just that the Pirate Party doesn't have a vote base in the traditional sense, and when the novelty of the young people who support them wears off, their support has begun to decline significantly. So they set their sights on the well-organized, well-targeted Dark Council.

One is behind the scenes to help the latter clear his name, and the other is responsible for pulling people to vote for the former in various election events. The awkward affair between the two continued until the Dark Council went underground in Eternity.

By that time, however, the Pirate Party had entered Stockholm politics and had paid for the purchase of the headquarters of the Dark Council.

How can there be no catty in this?

Lin Ling looked at Zhang Qiuya, and Zhang Qiuya also looked at him.

Little Gordon argued with old Gordon in Swedish German, which neither of them understood, Lin Ling didn't think that the two father and son were talking warmly, so he pulled Little Gordon and signaled that someone else was present, and then said goodbye and left.

After walking out of the office, Lin Ling and Little Gordon's faces were not very good-looking. They silently walked into little Gordon's pre-arranged kitchen, rolled up their cuffs and lined up the spatulas and pans they needed.

"What are you going to do?" Little Gordon was the first to break the silence in the kitchen.

"Doesn't she think that Dachun Winery will win?"

Lin Ling snorted lightly: "Then let them lose steadily." ”

"But at least two of the judges are their people." Little Gordon helped Lin Ling carry out a basket of fresh vegetables that were only delivered in the afternoon and poured them into the sink, there was still thick mud left on the rhizomes of the vegetables, and while washing and soaking the vegetables with his hands and feet, he looked at Lin Ling who was moving neatly, "They won't speak for us." ”

"Not necessarily, you underestimate their professional ethics too much, others I may not know, but your stepmother ......"

Lin Ling cut off a whole piece of beef leg, washed it, drained it and put it in a meat grinder to grind it into minced meat: "Her profession forces her to be fair and just on this occasion. ”

"Do you think she's going to be out of the way?" Gordon Jr., who calmed down, also felt that Zhang Qiuya would not be partial to Dachun Winery, as long as they could win the praise of the other judges.

"She's a politician, how can she convince those voters if she doesn't act fair and just in front of people? Living in that society, you know the face of politicians better than I do. Lin Ling said lightly. It wasn't easy to win the match against Oharu Winery, but it wasn't as difficult as it might have been, even though Oharu already knew their menu.

As long as the other judges say yes, Zhang Qiuya will not risk losing her reputation in favor of Dachun Winery.

But as long as one of the judges says it's bad, then Zhang Qiuya will unceremoniously take advantage of the fire.

To put it simply, the result of the competition depends on whose dish is more in line with the judges' wishes.

Lin Ling's side has the advantage of flavor.

The style of the main venue of the first offline challenge was similar to that of a beach party, although it was divided into an infield that only those with invitations could participate in and an outfield that ordinary spectators could enter with a ticket.

Modern beach parties originated from the West, and in terms of style and system, they are congenitally close to Western-style meals.

Although the Chinese food at Da Chun Winery is delicious, the style of the food is more rigorous, and it is not very suitable for a relaxed and comfortable place like a party. On top of that, Da Chun Winery's specialties, steamed fish and eight-treasure duck, both have fatal flaws - bones, and ordering a meal that spits out bones on a casual occasion like a beach party is undoubtedly asking for trouble.

Lin Ling thinks that Dachun Winery will take out tamales and white bread to fight against his burgers. In his previous life, Da Chun Winery had used the same trick to defeat another famous Western restaurant in Tianwen City. As for his other main dish, beach BBQ, as long as the menu is increased to the variety of food items to choose from, even if Dachun Winery lifts out their Buddha jumping over the wall, it won't help.

Moreover, Lin Ling didn't think that Dachun Winery had the same consciousness as him, and specially prepared a nutritious main dish for women. Of course, pasta gratin with cheese sauce is not a main course in the orthodox concept, but it often occupies a place in the main course in the buffet.

So, he also had to change the style of the meal service.

Rather than serious restaurant-style service, buffet-style service is more suited to the atmosphere of an offline challenge. This is not Lin Ling's self-righteousness, but the experience he summed up based on the well-received offline challenge meal service in the previous life, and Dachun Winery will not have such experience. In terms of service, they can't beat themselves either.

All that's left is how delicious the dishes are.

In this regard, Lin Ling only needs to not lose to Dachun Winery.

"How good do you think the steak is cooked?" Smeared oil on the barbecue grill, Little Gordon suddenly asked Lin Ling.

"MediumRare, Medium, and MediumWell." Lin Ling carefully considered the taste of the Chinese people and gave three answers, the steak is divided into 0-10 according to the number of degrees, the level comes according to the temperature, the fully cooked steak has been destroyed by the nutrients inside, the taste is old and wooden, no one likes such steak. Strictly speaking, the general understanding of fully cooked steak in China is basically MediumWell or MediumDone (medium cooked). In fact, the iron in the medium-rare steak had been destroyed, so Lin Ling arranged for medium-rare, which was delicious and nutritious.

MediumWell, also known as MediumWellDone, is characterized by the absence of any blood in the flesh.

Medium is often said to be a half-cooked, white steak with red on the inside and bloodshot on the inside, which is loved by people with good teeth, and it is also the most common one for young consumers.

MediumRare regenerates slightly more than Medium, and has more blood than Medium seems.

In fact, the blood in the steak is not necessarily blood, most of it is myoglobin, a close relative of blood, and there is no harm in eating a little.

"What if that mean woman orders Rare or Charcoal?" Gordon Jr. asked questions that he didn't quite believe in himself. If Zhang Qiuya was really so stupid and tasteless, Old Gordon would not marry her at all.

"Tell her to bite into raw meat and charcoal." Lin Ling shrugged his shoulders, Rare is the degree of frying on both sides, not only is it undoubtedly the same as raw meat, but it is definitely more difficult to swallow than the beef raw that is stirred with spices and eggs. Charcoal-level steaks, like the name, are entirely charcoal.

After Lin Ling finished adjusting the beef filling, he said to Little Gordon, who was operating the barbecue grill: "The dough and meat filling have been prepared, if there is no problem, I will go and rest for an hour first, and you will call me after an hour, before the evening market opens, we have to make the first batch of tastings." ”

"You're going to use the customer who came to dinner tonight as an experiment?" Little Gordon asked, somewhat surprised.

"No, it's their driver." Lin Ling smiled mysteriously. After washing his hands, he took the game helmet into the lounge next to the kitchen, connected to the Internet, and lay comfortably on the sofa to enter the world of "Eternity".

The Magic Sanctuary is a landscape that has never changed through the ages.

After Lin Ling went online, he noticed that Li Linda was not online. He looked at the time, it was close to 4 o'clock, could it be that Li Linda was stumped by something? He then found that Zi Yunlian and Chen Jing were not online, so he frowned slightly.

"You're back? My lord. ”

The succubus Agatha emerged from the darkness and stood beside Lin Ling like a guard.

"Agatha, did you find anything in my absence?" Lin Ling replied to a few text messages from the Yama Shark, and the elder of the Hammer of Doom reminded him that tomorrow the boss of their Hammer of Doom would personally go to taste his craft, and asked him to be careful not to put too much salt, and remember to put the ice frozen from boiled water in the juice, his boss didn't like to drink distilled water the most.

"There's a corpse on the fifth floor." The succubus Agatha replied respectfully.

"Five-storey?"

Lin Ling guessed that the corpse on the fifth floor of the Magic Temple was the corpse of Archmage Li Oumeng's apprentice, he nodded, and led the succubus into the third floor of the Magic Temple.

Before the daily maintenance began, Lin Ling had already cleaned up the first and second layers of Arcane Demons, and the Arcane Core obtained was just enough to complete the charging of a rune barrier.

The Arcane Demons that wander in the three-story magic temple are no more powerful than the Arcane demons on the first floor. They appear in the third tier only because they have an extra glowing humanoid in their group, the Arcane Wraith.

Arcane Wraith: Level 20 elemental creature; Health: 3000/3000;

It's a bit of a hassle.

Lin Ling looked at the arcane wraith hiding in the arcane demon group, the arcane wraith is good at using special ability arcane links to create a soul link that links all units within 50 meters around, and shares the damage that a certain unit can withstand, if it is replaced by a warlock, I am afraid that each arcane demon will be hung with soul sucking, and then use the evil magic evil death light called "**" to strike the whole thing, but Lin Ling does not have the powerful health recovery ability of a warlock.

Although he was able to use the newly generated arcane spark in the Tower of the Qi Conjuger to create a high-level arcane such as the Arcane Vortex that swept across the entire third floor of the Magic Temple, what about the fourth layer? What about the fifth and sixth floors?

Arcane Tinder is not infinite.

If the succubus Simone is here, he can try to use the Holy Purification Spell to dispel the arcane link effect on his body.

"Agatha." Lin Ling thought about it, but he could only use the old method and target the killing. To do this, he needs the succubus Agatha to infiltrate the Arcane Demons and kill the Arcane Wraith before it can complete the Arcane Link.

This is the ideal approach.

"I need you to sneak up on the Arcane hordes." But before he started, Lin Ling also needed to ask the succubus's opinion, "Do you think you should go by yourself, or will I bless you with the invisible surgery before going?" ”

"My lord, you don't need to kill the Arcane Wraith." The succubus Agatha had a different opinion, "The staircase leading from the third floor to the fourth floor is there, you can go straight to the fourth floor through there, and ignore these arcane energy convergings." ”

"No, I want to ignore them, I want their arcane core." Lin Ling would not tell Agatha about the existence of the mysterious obelisk, even if the succubus was respectful to him, she was always a spy sent by the succubus Saryl, and she was not worthy of his trust. He didn't think the succubi would keep their word for it, betrayal and deception were their ethnic instincts. Only Simone, who had signed a psychic contract with herself, could barely use it as an obedient tool, and that's it.

Tools, naturally, should be put in the toolbox.

The Land of Spirits is a toolbox that can't be overstated.

"I'll cover you as I did in the past, but this time you don't have safe time anymore."

Lin Ling said coldly. The number of Arcane Demons wandering on the third floor of the Magic Sanctuary exceeded 100, and if he cleared them all at once, he would be able to harvest at least 100 Arcane Cores, and even if he didn't use the Undead, he would be able to complete the requirements of the Arcane Samurai Kovic and the second-order compulsory quest at the same time.

But before that, he needed to use his mana properly.

A mage without mana is weaker than a tiger without teeth.
