Maze Fan: I opened a buffet in the maze

Sumptuous dishes are presented before your eyes, and rich aromas rise into the air.

Whether turbulent or gentle, it makes people feel as if they are in a flower bush, immersed in the colorful, different and beautiful harmonious rhythm.

Roddy scooped up a piece of fruit baked meat with a spoon. The honey-golden sauce made the meat sparkle like a gem.

"How beautiful!" He exclaimed as he slowly put the food into his mouth with anticipation.

So sweet! It tastes like a gem of hard candy, with an indescribable mellow texture, as if a mountain of sugar has accumulated on the tip of your tongue, slowly melting over thousands of years.

The sweetness penetrates into the taste buds and liberates the fullness of the meat.

The unripe fruits give it just the right acidity, and the ancient sedimentation and the freshness of a season are like presenting a flavorful sandstone orchard into your mouth.

"It's so...! They complement each other perfectly~" After racking his brains to find an adjective, Roddy found that this was truly the most delicious food he had ever eaten!

Unlike her brother, the strong-willed Yani targeted the reddish-colored smoked barbecued meat. Slices of meat with the fragrance of cypress branches were placed lined up like pine scales on the warm plate.

Yani gently picked up a piece and put it into her mouth, frowning and realizing that things were not simple.

It’s salty, it’s salty the moment it enters the mouth, but not choking. It’s a fleeting base taste, and the freshness that comes after it makes her mouth tighten!

Salty and fresh, salty and fresh, the two have always been the best partners that complement each other.

Therefore, Fan Wei specially increased the salt content of the barbecue to completely neutralize the greasiness and leave all the room for umami!

At the same time, the protagonist of this little song is also Bai Xiang.

Although it hardly contributes to the taste, its fresh, slightly tangy aroma is like a finger soothing the palate, bringing a bit of softness to the delicious impact so that the tears stimulated in the corners of the eyes do not fall.

Powerful! Yani had only one comment in her mind: this delicacy has a sense of power!

She looked at Fan Wei in shock, feeling awe-inspiring and at a loss as to how he could do it.

"It's sodium chloride. I added sodium chloride!" As if seeing the inquiry in Yani's eyes, Fan Wei answered seriously: "Anyway, it is definitely not a soul."

"???" Yani opened her mouth in confusion. Not understanding what was being said, she chose to eat another piece of meat. Her tongue had been conquered by this delicious taste!

Uncle Bernoulli on the other side was rubbing his hands over the stew and filling a bowl for himself.

“It’s the smell of red wine~”

After drinking vinegar all day, it's time to relax my tongue! I'll talk about quitting drinking later! The uncle gulped down a big mouthful of wine while grinning and defending himself without any self-control.

"Uh~there is no smell of alcohol." Maybe the alcohol evaporated during cooking.

But it really tastes good, fragrant but not greasy, as smooth and tasty as water, with a hint of onion paired with the already soft meat. As he drinks it, Bernoulli loses his restlessness and becomes warm and enjoys it.

Quitting drinking is painful. The emptiness in the throat and heart is a dangerous feeling that makes people fall.

The reason for developing this bad habit is not only the paralysis of the nerves, but also the hiding of thoughts, because one does not want to regret and does not want to look back at one's life which is nothing.

Alcohol can make the brain forget, he wanted to escape...but that ugly obsession that could not be killed kept prickling him like a thorn.

The thorns watered with bitter water will eventually grow stronger.

Bernoulli took another sip. He liked the taste of the soup very much. There was no particular reason. It was just a feeling that pulled him out of the shadow of the past. He felt like he was living in the present instead of being intoxicated and escaping.

A feeling of tranquility, a feeling of satisfaction...

"That's great, young people." The uncle raised the corners of his mouth.

The energetic Baimu team and the versatile Fan Wei, even if only temporarily, gave me the comfort of fire... supporting me... if I could really find the gem that could fulfill all my wishes...

“Is it really that delicious?” He looked at the crowd of people who were immersed in the food with their eyes closed, in a daze, and eating big mouthfuls without caring about their image.

Norma cast her eyes towards the large plate of fried pork chops. She had tasted Fan Wei's cooking and it tasted absolutely delicious! But she was still surprised by the exaggerated reaction of those around her.

Cutting off a piece with a dinner knife, the slightly charred surface and bright meat inside look very juicy, giving a feeling of grandeur.

"Ah~" After taking a bite, Norma trembled all over.

“Why is it so delicious!”

I just, I just want to...!! I'm crying~!

"I guess it's because of the ingredients." Looking at Norma with squinting eyes and tears in her eyes, Fan Wei guessed.

He had already eaten all the dishes on the table, and he obviously found that the gargoyle as the main course was much more delicious than other monsters and ordinary ingredients.

"Could it be related to magic?"

Su Fuli put down her fork, covered her lips with her napkin, and nodded in affirmation: "That is indeed the reason. The abundance of magic greatly affects the quality of items. The real level of the gargoyle is around 12, which is higher than the monsters you have encountered so far."

"I see. So the higher the level of the monster, the tastier it is?"

"That's right in theory. Of course, your cooking skills play a crucial role." She smiled implicitly. Being surrounded by so many happy smiling faces, even her long-numbed heart softened.

"I never expected that!" Irene's eyes sparkled as she held the plate. "Fan, your cooking skills are so high!"

“This 'squirrel fish' and the fruit gratin are amazing!”

Her assistant also puffed up her cheeks and nodded repeatedly, with eyes wide open, while wiping Irene's face with a handkerchief, "Butler, the sauce is all over your face!"

"Gu!" The mature and elegant Ms. Irene quickly lowered her head with a red face.

"Hehe~" Covering her smile, Su Fuli looked at Fan Wei and asked, "It really tastes good, Xian'er Quana, what are your next goals?"

The long life has given the Elf Sister rich life experience.

She knew that stopping Fan Wei from going down the maze was not a good idea, and it might even restrict his growth. It would be better to ask for clarification and give him some advice, which would be a better protection.

"I do have an idea."

Fan Wei was not embarrassed, "First, I want to look up information about the ancient civilization that built the maze, and then get to know more monsters and try to hunt and explore them."

The most critical thing at present is the expansion of the restaurant, which is not only to deal with debts, but also related to the improvement of Fan Wei's strength.

Improving strength is the biggest help in finding out the truth.

Therefore, gathering the eight ingredients as quickly as possible and improving daily scores and rewards are his main goal and motivation at the moment.

"Ancient civilization..." After a brief pause, Su Fuli gave two suggestions, "You can first go to the archives of the Sage Tower to look for relevant documents. There is a place in the other level of the maze that is also worth a visit."

"Trace Painting Gallery?" Hearing this unfamiliar name, Fan Wei pondered over what it meant.

Su Fuli's fingers passed through the air, and light blue characters appeared. She copied the contents onto a scroll and handed it to Fan Wei.

"I don't know if you're simply curious or for some other reason, but it would be helpful for you to go and see the ancient ruins left behind by the ancient civilization in person."

"Although I've been there for so long that the interior of the ruins has changed, this special building will not disappear. You can go and ask for information and look for it."

There were some symbols recorded on the scroll. Fan Wei took a deep look at it and put it away carefully.

"You can ask me for help if you need it, Misr Fan." Irene said with a slight smile, revealing a cute dimple, "Just think of it as support for your partners."

"Thank you so much!"

Fan Wei said with a smile, then he remembered something and took out a book, "Oh, this is the mysterious book that my teammates and I found in the maze, but I can't understand the words on it. Su Fuli, Irene, do you know it?"

"Hmm?" Irene looked puzzled. "What an ancient style. Where did you find it?"

"Is it from..."

Just as Fan Wei was about to tell the story, Su Fuli took the book and flipped through it, looking a little surprised. "Mythology Age... I actually found another book here. This is incredible!"

She flipped through the book for a while, put it down, and glanced at everyone. Her voice was soft but shocking.

"From what I know, this book... may be related to a certain god."

"what!!!"

Shocks came and went.

......

On the first floor of the maze, under the statue of the ruins.

The entrance of the cave that was split open by the burly man with a huge axe and then buried with rocks suddenly trembled slightly. A few stones rolled down, and a mysterious beetle with flashing blue patterns slowly crawled out from it.

It spread its wings and flew out of the ruins, directly pouncing on the remains of a gargoyle and devouring it.

In a few minutes, the entire body was eaten and only an empty shell was left. The blue light beetle rushed up to the sky like a ball of light, and then one after another, more beetles flew out of the shell.

Half an hour later, a huge 'thundercloud' was roaring and covering the entire ruins!

They circled around and then rushed into the maze passage as if they had found their target.

The creature that has been sleeping for thousands of years has awakened.
