The moment he saw the old man, He Tong took a step back, he hugged his fist at the old man and said, "I'm not trespassing, I'm just here to register."

"Really? What do I think of your posture to trespass?" The old man squinted at He Tong.

"Elder Lu, the juniors retired first." At this moment, Dowling walked out of the office and hugged his fist at the old man.

"Ping'er, go and send off the Dao Chef, remember to arrange everything, otherwise you will be punished when you come back." The old man said in a deep voice.

Lu Ping nodded and replied, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely arrange it."

"Alright, go on, I'm going to deal with these two guys who are going to trespass on my office." The old man looked at He Tong and said.

Dowling nodded, and under the leadership of Lu Ping, the two left the office.

At the door of the office, there was a faint smell of gunpowder for a while.

"You register, come in." The old man spoke, then turned and walked into the office.

He Tong and the Imperial Taibao glanced at each other, and then followed.

On the other side, Lu Ping was accompanying Dao Lin to the restaurant where he lived.

"Your Lu family is the big family of the Linyuan Empire." Dowling asked.

"In general, it can only be regarded as above average, and there is still a gap between it and those real big families." Lu Ping shook his head and said.

Dowling nodded, if the Lu family has a half-emperor powerhouse, it can only be regarded as the upper middle, how strong are those big families?

However, these don't need to be thought of by Dao Lin, the main thing is that he doesn't care about the half-emperor powerhouse anymore, and even the entire Linyuan Empire should only be able to compete with him, King Roshan.

Soon they returned to the restaurant.

"Chef Dao has taste, this Tingshui Xuan is one of the best restaurants in Cross-Sea City, and this environment is worthy of you." Lu Ping said with a smile.

"Okay, I've arrived at the ground, and Deacon Lu can go back." Dowling smiled and nodded.

"I'm here to settle the bill, that's our rule." Lu Ping said that, and went upstairs before Dao Lin.

Coming to the first floor, Lu Ping went straight to the counter.

The shopkeeper obviously knew Lu Ping, and hurriedly greeted him respectfully.

"Deacon Lu is here, and the shop is full of flowers." The shopkeeper complimented.

"Do you know what I'm here for?" Lu Ping asked.

"Naturally, I know that the chef didn't reveal his identity to me before, so I was negligent, but please rest assured, Deacon Lu, I will definitely serve these masters." As the shopkeeper spoke, he clasped his fist and saluted Dowling behind him.

Dowling looked at the two of them puzzled.

Lu Ping flicked his wrist, and there was an extra silver ticket in his hand, he handed the silver ticket to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper took it with a smile without the slightest hesitation.

Dowling was even more puzzled, generally the upper people give money, and the lower people will not accept it, after all, the human world, but this one is given happily, and the other one is not ambiguous, which is wrong.

"Chef Dao, don't be confused, this is the rule of Cross-Sea City, and all the restaurants where the contestants stay will be paid by the office." Lu Ping saw that Dao Lin was puzzled, so he explained with a smile.

"And this kind of thing?" Dowling asked.

"Of course, just like I asked you at the office, which town you think is the best and which town you are most satisfied with during your trip, that town will also receive corresponding benefits, for example, if you and your father both have a crush on Infinite City, then they will get double the benefits." Lu Ping nodded and said.

"I see, then it seems that there is indeed something different about the Linyuan Empire." Dowling nodded and praised, he was still very optimistic about this approach.

"From now on, this Tingshui Xuan will only be open to you and your group until the game is over and you leave." The shopkeeper said to Dowling.

Dowling was stunned when he heard this, how much money does it cost, all this money is from the office.

"Originally, we also prepared a place for you and other contestants, of course, you can choose your own

We pay for it." Lu Ping said with a smile.

Dowling nodded in gratitude.

"Then I won't disturb your rest, I'll go back to the place first if I have something to do, and you can tell him directly if you have something." Lu Ping pointed directly at the shopkeeper and said.

The shopkeeper also nodded again and again.

Dowling sent Lu Ping out of Tingshuixuan, and then went directly back to his floor, where he told everyone about it.

"I can't imagine that this Linyuan Empire is weird." Chu Xiyun praised.

He can be regarded as having served in the Sun Empire, and he still knows some about the governance of the empire.

"Yes, I was clear just now, a full 20,000 taels." Dowling said with a smile.

"Each place has its own characteristics, and they follow the will of King Roshan, and they care about the Chef God Contest very much, so people think it's good." Chu Wan'er concluded.

"My sister is right, our Sun Empire should also hold some such continent-wide competitions to attract the attention of the mainland." Chu Xiyun said.

"Yes, it's not easy, uncle, you can go back and think about it, just tell the emperor directly." Dowling said.

"It depends on what is being held, and it won't be interesting to have another chef competition." Chu Xiyun said.

"Uncle, don't you think the martial arts competition is interesting?"

Dowling's words attracted everyone's attention, the martial arts competition? Gathering the strong people of the whole continent together and dividing them into high and low will definitely attract the competitiveness of all martial artists.

"This is indeed a good idea, this is indeed a good idea," Chu Xiyun muttered.

"Uncle, I'll talk about this later, I'm just the beginning, and there are many things to do in the future, so I'm not in a hurry for this time." Dowling said, he could see that Chu Xiyun was a little upset.

"Yes, yes, yes... I'm in a hurry—" Chu Xiyun nodded and said.

"Alright, now that everyone is settled, only the game starts, everyone is free to play during this time, and I will retreat for a while." Dowling said.

Everyone nodded, they saw the prosperity of Cross-Sea City before they came, and they must be going to take a turn.

With a flick of his wrist, Dowling had a lot of silver tickets in his hand, and he put them on the table and said, "Let's take this money and go around, it's not enough to tell me."

"You're more than that, aren't you?" Dao Wuji said painfully.

"Money is something outside the body, we don't have to lose money, we should spend it, buy something we like." Dowling said with a smile.

"Brother Qiu, you take it first!" Dowling said.

The Qiu brothers didn't make a move, Dowling directly picked up the silver ticket and stuffed it into their hands, the Qiu brothers have been following him all these years, and it's time for him to give others some benefits, which is still learned from the Linyuan Empire.
