Chapter 406: The Gourmet Array

Translator: CatatoPatch Editor: Vermillion

“System, are you sure this is that so-called Gourmet Array?”

Bu Fang expressionlessly stared at the nine bowls of Rampage Ramens which were placed on a table . The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily as he asked the system .

After advancing into the eighth grade War-God realm, Bu Fang not only received the Rampage Ramen as a reward, but he also obtained something called the “Gourmet Array” .

Bu Fang wasn’t unfamiliar with arrays and he came into contact with them countless times . The Double Calamity Dragon Head Array and the Grand Serpentine City’s cannon array both left him with a deep impression .

However, when he placed nine bowls of the Rampage Ramen according to that so-called Gourmet Array, nothing happened . The rich fragrance filled the room and steam rose up from all nine bowls of ramen . Nothing else happened .

It didn’t seem like an array at all .

“An Array isn’t this causally set up, right?” Bu Fang questioned the system .

“The host was already informed on how to set up the Gourmet Array . The host has to learn how to link the spiritual energy in the array nodes by himself,” the system declared in an earnest tone .

Find out by myself? Do I have to do my own experiments in order to learn how to link the array nodes?

Bu Fang was completely speechless at the system’s answer . Bu Fang was disinclined to reply the system . In the end, he curled his lips upwards and his spiritual force surged out like a tide . He started to observe the spiritual energy emitted by each bowl of ramen .

That spiritual energy was hidden within its fragrance and steam . The traces of spiritual energy were faint and indistinct . It seemed as though the Gourmet Array was quite difficult to understand .

He used his spiritual force and pulled the spiritual energy coming from one bowl of ramen . He tried linking it with the energy from another bowl of Rampage Ramen . After trying for some time, Bu Fang successfully linked them together .

Bu Fang was slightly motivated and he felt that linking them all was not going to be difficult .

He continued on and linked the energy to another bowl of ramen .

When he finished linking the third bowl, it wasn’t too difficult . However, when he tried linking it with a fourth bowl, Bu Fang started to feel some difficulty . After linking countless strands of spiritual energy together, they were all in a mess . The spiritual power was also in chaos . If he wasn’t careful, Bu Fang knew that he would definitely make a mistake .

A rumbling sound echoed in Bu Fang’s mind all of a sudden . The spiritual energy which he linked fell apart and scattered .

All of the spiritual energy within the Rampage Ramen started to dissipate .

Bu Fang sighed . It was just like what he expected . The so-called Gourmet Array wasn’t something which he could easily set up .

Bu Fang rubbed his forehead and conveniently picked up all nine bowls of the Rampage Ramen on the table . Carrying them to Whitey, Bu Fang poured all of the useless ramen into Whitey’s stomach .

The spiritual energy within those ramen had already been scattered . They were utterly useless and Whitey wouldn’t experience a berserk effect after eating it .

After some light stretches, Bu Fang went out of the kitchen and opened the store’s door .

As the cold breeze blew against his face, Bu Fang slightly squinted his eyes .

The weather was getting hotter these few days . It was rare that there was still a cool breeze blowing through the city .

Bu Fang enjoyed the cool air and lay on his chair as he squinted his eyes .

After that plump dog, Blacky, ate the thing which was in the crystal source, it fell into a deep sleep . Bu Fang thought about it and he couldn’t think of a reason why Blacky was still sleeping .

However, Bu Fang enjoyed being idle . If that lazy dog didn’t wake up, he didn’t have to make the Sweet ‘n’ Sour Dragon Meat Ribs for it .

Xiao Xiaolong came over to the store and Xiao Meng came along with him .

After Xiao Meng reached the eighth grade War-God realm, his spirits soared . His gaze was calm and cold . He emanated an intimidating pressure all around him . However, in Fang Fang’s Little Store, his pressure was completely useless .

Today, Xiao Meng didn’t come to flaunt his pressure as an eighth grade War-God . He was here to look for Bu Fang . He had official business with Bu Fang .

Before long, the cheerful Ouyang Xiaoyi also came over . The whole Ouyang family came with her .

Before anyone could say anything, Ji Chengxue came over as well . At least half of the upper-class population in the Light Wind Empire arrived at Bu Fang’s store .

If any citizen in the empire witnessed such a sight, they would definitely be scared silly .

Bu Fang opened his squinted eyes . He already knew the purpose of the visit . After revealing the effects of the Rampage Ramen, Bu Fang knew that there would be tons of people placing their order .

Bu Fang didn’t reject and refuse them .

According to the system requirement, the crystals obtained by selling the Rampage Ramen would also turn into Bu Fang’s true energy cultivation .

With his current cultivation in the eighth grade War-God realm, if he wanted to advance to the next grade, his business turnover had to reach a terrifying degree .

If he solely depended on his usual daily business and his true energy reward from temporary missions, it would be extremely difficult for Bu Fang to reach the next realm . Even if he had several years, Bu Fang didn’t know if he could advance by one grade .

The appearance of the Rampage Ramen solved his problem .

As the emperor of an empire, his imperial household was in control of several crystal mines . If all the crystals in those mines were used to purchase his Rampage Ramen, Bu Fang knew that he would definitely be able to reach the next grade .

The Rampage Ramen’s effects were better than elixirs . A single eighth grade Essence Burst Pill cost several hundred pieces of crystals . His Rampage Ramen only cost a hundred pieces of crystals . This was obviously a good deal for anyone buying his ramen .

Buying a bowl of Rampage Ramen was like buying an eighth grade Essence Burst Pill . However, his ramen didn’t have any side effects and it only cost a hundred pieces of crystals . No one would think that it was not worth it .

Xiao Meng, Ji Chengxue, and the others spent a whole morning in the shop before they left . All of them seemed to be content with what they got from Bu Fang .

They set up an agreement with Bu Fang for huge amounts of Rampage Ramen .

Bu Fang would provide Rampage Ramen and they would provide crystals .

Bu Fang wasn’t suffering any loss with such a deal . The crystals they provided would be converted into his true energy cultivation and it wasn’t difficult for him to cook the Rampage Ramen .

He could cook a bowl of Rampage Ramen in several breaths of time . With the Ten Thousand Bestial Flames and the Black Turtle Constellation Wok, cooking a huge amount of Rampage Ramen posed no challenge to Bu Fang .

The only thing Bu Fang had to use was time .

After Ji Chengxue and the others left, Duan Yun dragged his exhausted body into the store . He yawned slightly and leaned against a chair .

These days, he was researching elixirs without stopping to rest or sleep . In the end, he successfully invented and came up with an eighth grade elixir which could increase one’s fleshly body strength . Duan Yun suffered because of that Rampage Ramen . The sales of his elixirs became quite poor and he could only pass his days and nights inventing a new kind of elixir . If he didn’t come up with anything new, he wouldn’t be able to earn enough crystals to afford his meals .

It was fortunate that he succeeded in refining it .

Today, Duan Yun ordered several more dishes than usual . He planned to properly reward himself .

. . . . .

The White Cloud Villa .

Wu Mu’s complexion was deathly pale . He placed his hand on his chest and coughed nonstop . He stared at the White Cloud Villa’s experts below him and sucked in a deep breath .

When they fought against that mysterious warship, the White Cloud Villa managed to obtain a tragic victim . They paid a huge price and exhausted all of their means to kill off several Supreme-Being experts in order to take back Wu Yunbai .

The White Cloud Villa experienced severe losses in that fight . Many Supreme-Being experts and disciples died during the battle .

He coughed out a mouthful of blood . Although Wu Mu ‘s complexion was pale, the sword intent in his body was sharp as usual . His gaze flickered like lightning as he stared at everyone before him .

“Inform everyone in the land of Southern Region . From today onward, our White Cloud Villa will seal itself off and cut off all contact with the outside world for ten years . Every single disciple is forbidden from leaving the White Cloud Villa and transgressors will all be killed . “

When he made the decision, Wu Mu’t heart was dripping with blood . However, he knew that he had to make the decision in order for the White Cloud Villa to survive . The strength of those enemies in that metallic warship was extremely terrifying . If they came back to take revenge, there was no way for the White Cloud Villa to contend against them .

The only way for him to save the White Cloud Villa was to seal it off and open all of its protective arrays . He would erase all traces of the villa .

On the second day, a news which shocked the entire Southern Region started to spread out . Countless factions were frightened and they started to become restless . One of the top factions in the Southern Region, the White Cloud Villa, decided to seal itself off . They made the decision to disappear from the world and leave the ranks of the top factions in the Southern Region .

Countless experts from the Celestial Arcanum Sect, the Clear Sky Pagoda, and the Wildlands sighed at the news .

When the news about the White Cloud Villa sealing itself started to spread out, the Grand Serpentine City’s Sovereign entered the ocean from the western seacoast . She went to find an opportunity and lucky chance which could help her break through one of the Supreme-Being’s shackles .

For a period, the Southern Region would be in turmoil .

. . . .

In the Light Wind Imperial Capital .

There were countless guards from the Imperial Capital patrolling the walls of the capital . The current Light Wind Imperial Capital was much stronger than before . Although the Imperial Capital was frequently wrecked and devastated, everyone was already accustomed to it .

After every disaster, the emperor would put more effort into helping the people . He would place more emphasis on increasing the cultivation of the citizens .

That was a good thing for them .

The empire lessened its military campaigns and it prioritized the cultivation of its citizens . In the current empire, the status of scholars dropped as studying the literary arts were not as important as studying martial arts .

Every single one of the citizens knew that studying martial arts had brighter prospects .

All of a sudden, in a place far in the horizon of the Light Wind Empire’s Imperial Capital, black shadow appeared, emitting a terrifying pressure .

The nerves of all the guards started to tighten .

There were some of them who had experience with such events . As such, they stared at the colossal object in the distance nervously . They were not worried at all as they had countless experiences with these events in the past . They could be considered true veterans .

An eighth grade spirit beast attacking the city… A supreme beast attacking the city… A great army attacking the city . The life of the Imperial Capital’s walls and its guards were full of ups and downs . They were accustomed to this kind of life .

That colossal object flying toward the Imperial Capital was not some kind of giant supreme beast . However, it was a metallic warship which was glowing under the blazing sun .

That thing in the sky was a warship? It was actually a warship which could fly?

All of the guards were dumbstruck at the sight of that flying warship . That was the first time they saw a warship . In their great wars, the furthest they went was to use calvaries to charge at their enemies . They had never seen anything like a warship before .

All of the upper-class members in the Imperial Capital were alarmed . Ji Chengxue, Xiao Meng, and the others went up the city wall and gazed at that warship which was flying toward them .

It seemed like there was a man standing at the deck of that warship .

Liang Kai held onto the fence of the warship with both hands and leaned on it . He fixed his gaze on the Light Wind Imperial Capital, which was growing bigger and bigger .

“What a simple and crude city . They call this the imperial capital of an empire? Seems like they are really destitute . Any city in the Hidden Dragon Continent is bigger than this . If we compare this with the great cities in the Hidden Dragon Continent, this seems like a small village . “

Liang Kai curled up the corners of his mouth into a mocking smile . His fiery gaze locked onto the city which was gradually becoming clearing in his eyes . He looked at it with a fiery gaze because the human who possessed the Ten Thousand Bestial Flame was living in the city . It was also the reason he came to this city .

Rumble!

A rumbling sound resounded from the warship . A violent windstorm rose and swept toward the city . Stones and sand on the ground were all swept up and they flew everywhere .

It seemed as though the surroundings dimmed when the giant warship covered the sky above the Light Wind Imperial Capital .

The pressure coming from the warship weighed down and awed everyone .
