146: Chapter 146 The Special Rules of the Island

Hearing this, Chu Feiyu shook her head vigorously, casting all those chaotic thoughts out of her mind.

What on earth was she thinking?

Bai Song had once solemnly promised her that no matter what kind of bloodline she awakened in the future, he would form a contract with her.

But why did her eyes reveal a hint of envy when she looked at Chen Yi?

I really am a fickle person!

"Mmm~~~ It smells so good!"

"This smell... Brother Chen Yi's barbecue is actually this good?"

"I really couldn't tell! No wonder he volunteered himself!"

"Alright, alright, stop talking and let's eat!"

Chen Yi smiled as he distributed the skewers of barbecue to everyone.

Actually, there was a reason why Chen Yi's barbecue skills were so superb.

He had followed his parents to sell barbecue in their shop since he was a child, accumulating a wealth of experience.

And in the two and a half years since transmigrating to this world, he had lived alone for a long time.

To satisfy his own taste buds, he constantly honed his barbecue skills.

Coupled with his ex-girlfriend Liu Ruyan's special fondness for barbecue, this prompted him to study it even more diligently.

All these factors combined brought Chen Yi's barbecue skills to an amazing level, and he wanted to properly show off his culinary expertise.

Of course, there was another important reason: he wanted to see if cooking delicious food could trigger some buffs to increase favorability.

As it turned out, his idea was correct!

Sure enough, to win a girl's heart, one must demonstrate charm that surpasses other men in every aspect.

And culinary skills were undoubtedly a great breakthrough point!

The barbecue melted in the mouth, fresh and delicious, with just the right amount of smoky flavor—it was definitely far beyond the level of a professional barbecue shop!

The girls ate with stars practically shining in their eyes!

"Mmm, it's delicious!"

"It's so good!"

"Brother Chen Yi, teach me next time, such barbecue skills~~~"

"I want to learn too! I feel like after eating this barbecue, I'll never be able to look at my own cooking again!"

[Reward: +50 Enhancement Points!]

One has to say, this wave was a massive profit!

Although matters of the heart cannot be forced, one naturally shouldn't miss an opportunity to grind favorability!

This was the most important factor relating to whether he could quickly become stronger!

However, it would be quite difficult to use gourmet food to grind favorability after this.

On one hand, Chen Yi only knew how to barbecue, and on the other, once the novelty wore off, it would be hard to have such an impact!

Chen Yi smiled and said softly, "I'll teach you when I have time, don't worry!"

"Great!!!"

Chu Feiyu took a small bite, and a satisfied smile immediately blossomed on her face.

"Brother Chen Yi, with your skills, if you opened a shop, I feel like you'd get rich in minutes!"

"What kind of shop? Being a Beast Tamer is where the money is! Can selling a month's worth of barbecue buy a single beast king crystal core?"

"Hehehe, that's true!"

---

After the meal and several rounds of drinks.

Before long, the barbecue was completely devoured.

Everyone let out a satisfied burp, seemingly still wanting more.

"Brother Chen Yi."

Chu Xiaohe came over at this moment and asked, "I just saw many Beast Tamers leaving. Is this what you meant by them backing down?"

Chen Yi explained with a smile, "Yeah! After searching for several hours without finding a single treasure, and having to be on guard against being hunted by those Slimes at any moment, no normal person could stay! It's just that the time isn't ripe yet; it's not yet time for me to make my move!"

"I see---"

Chu Xiaohe sighed, then spoke somewhat bitterly, "Brother Chen Yi, to be honest, besides vacationing, we actually came here to hunt for treasure."

"Since you know how to find the secret treasures on this island, we won't bother you anymore!"

"Thank you for the hospitality. Next, we plan to try our luck on other islands, so we'll part ways here!"

Hearing this, Chen Yi didn't say much.

He nodded slightly in understanding.

After all, he had only specially hosted them because Chu Xiaohe helped handle the aftermath of killing Jia Lahan.

Though he had a good impression of him, they were outsiders in the end.

There was no need to force them to stay.

"Then watch out for your safety!"

"Mm, then we'll head out first!"

Chu Feiyu seemed a bit reluctant: "Eh? Leaving already? I wanted to stay a bit longer!"

Murong Yue gently tapped her on the head and said with a smile, "This is for your own good. Let's go!"

Chu Feiyu puffed out her cheeks: "Umu—I get it!"

At the moment of leaving, she didn't forget to look back and wave to Chen Yi, appearing very youthful and lively.

"This little girl is really cute!"

"Indeed, she's sweet-tongued too. I just wonder what kind of bloodline she'll awaken."

"Little Brother Chen Yi probably wouldn't be interested! Her father has a B-rank Bloodline and her mother has an A-rank Bloodline, so the highest she can awaken is an S-rank Bloodline. It's hard to progress further than that!"

"Oh? There's such a pattern? I thought the awakened bloodline ranks were all random---"

"These are all top-secret materials that won't be made public. Only those of us from merchant families and Beast Tamer families would know about this."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that!"

Chen Yi clapped his hands, interrupting The girls' discussion. "Next, it's time to start our treasure hunt!"

As soon as he said this, The girls' gazes instantly became focused.

They all sat up straight, looking at Chen Yi with expectant faces.

They were all curious about what Chen Yi meant earlier—why others couldn't find the rare treasures at all.

Chen Yi didn't hesitate and immediately gave out instructions.

"Tao Tao, I'll still need to rely on you for the next part!"

"The rest of you go nearby and look for the whereabouts of heaven and earth spiritual treasures—anything will do!"

"Then pick them to summon those Slime monsters, lure them here, and let Tao Tao swallow them!"

"The rules on this island are quite similar to the Final Trial. You just need to completely kill a certain number of Slimes to summon a Large Slime. After killing it, you can obtain the treasure inside!"
