Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Chapter 622 - 229: She Alarmed the Curator, but He Was Livestreaming Gourmet Food_3

  • Next Chapter

In the entire Divine Martial Realm, the dining industry on the Divine Hidden Continent is the most developed, but it’s all relative.

This is because ingredients in this world are not only expensive, but cooking techniques have also regressed significantly, making chefs a precious and rare profession.

"Okay."

The siblings went to a restaurant for a meal. Just after settling the bill, Dongfang Yi received a call from Ming Feng.

"Hey kid, the National Guardian Dagger is real, thank your friend for me. Also..." Ming Feng chuckled and asked Dongfang Yi, "Could you introduce me to your friend?"

Dongfang Yi hesitated for a moment before agreeing. "Sure, but I have a return ticket for three days later."

"No problem, just take my private jet, I’ll send you back to Golden Gate City."

Dongfang Yi agreed.

After hanging up, Dongfang Yi told Dongfang Qing, "Sis, I’m afraid I have to go back to Golden Gate City first."

Dongfang Qing was planning the itinerary for the next couple of days and was quite shocked to hear this. "Why so suddenly? We still have many places to visit, let alone we haven’t paid a visit to our home family yet..."

Dongfang Yi interrupted her, "Our home family doesn’t care about us, we’ll only be humiliated if we go, I’m not going."

"Then why did you suddenly decide to go back?" Clearly, when they left the hotel in the morning, they were still discussing places to visit over the next couple of days.

"The curator of the Divine Concealment Emperor Exhibition Hall wants me to take him to meet someone."

"The curator?" Dongfang Qing was taken aback, grabbing Dongfang Yi’s arm, asking, "Since when did you know that important person?"

Having successfully completed Xu Xingguang’s assigned task, Dongfang Yi no longer kept it a secret and directly told Dongfang Qing about how Xu Xingguang had him transfer the National Guardian Dagger to Ming Feng.

After hearing it all, Dongfang Qing’s eyes rolled a few times before giving Dongfang Yi a reproachful look, commenting, "That was reckless. Did you even think, what if that girl with the surname Xu was trying to set you up?"

"But the dagger is real." Dongfang Yi’s eyes sparkled, he clenched his fist and explained, "You know too, our dad is blindly loyal, he considers the family in everything he does. But the Family Head sent our whole family to Golden Gate City’s Wuyuan Town for business, which means abandoning us!"

"If I really gave this National Guardian Dagger to our father, he would definitely take it to the Family Head for appraisal. If the Family Head appraised the dagger as real, then, even if he handed it over to the exhibition hall as a relic, what would it have to do with our father? Or Xu Xingguang?"

Although young, Dongfang Yi had a plan, and he said, "The facts prove I’m right, sis. We made an impression in front of the curator and now the curator specifically asked for me to accompany him to Golden Gate City to meet Xu Xingguang. With this relationship, our future path will be smoother."

"I think instead of trying everything to build a good relationship with our home family, we should establish our own independence!"

After hearing these words, Dongfang Qing looked at Dongfang Yi with both shock and admiration.

She always knew her brother was an ambitious young man, but she didn’t know, at such a young age, he could see so much further than their father.

Dongfang Qing thought for a moment before saying, "You’re right, our home family has completely abandoned us, so we need to stand on our own feet."

"I’ll go back with you!" Dongfang Qing couldn’t be at ease with Dongfang Yi facing Ming Feng alone.

"Okay."

On the day they toured Golden Gate City, Xu Xingguang used what little money she had to buy a smart device from a small brand. Although it had fewer functions, and the style was a bit ugly, the user experience wasn’t bad.

That afternoon, the elders of Wuyuan Town added her as a friend and pulled her into the Wuyuan Town group, recognizing her formally as one of the town’s residents.

With the smart device, Xu Xingguang began to aggressively learn and explore the world’s information.

She was like a sponge, figuring out the Divine Martial Realm’s world structure in just a few days, understanding the identities of the main leaders of the Three Great Alliances, and familiarizing herself with the distribution of forces in the Super Power User factions.

Finally, she downloaded all sorts of legal codes from the Divine Martial Realm and perused them whenever she had the time.

Elder Tan Nan, seeing her study even during lunchtime, feared Xu Xingguang might harm her brain and thoughtfully handed her a piece of chocolate.

Elder Tan Nan said, "Have some chocolate, it’s good for your brain."

Xu Xingguang smiled sweetly, taking the chocolate. "Thank you, granny."

During her chocolate break, Xu Xingguang browsed through social news.

As she browsed, she stumbled upon a short video.

The short video was titled —

[What is this new type of cuisine, it looks delicious, blood letter petition for the streamer to open a restaurant!]

Are there still food streamers in this world?

Streaming eating nutrients?

Xu Xingguang, curious, clicked into the video, seeing a scruffy man appear on the screen, with blue skies, white clouds, and grass behind him, and a nine-grid hotpot in front.

Another middle-aged man crouched by the side killing a fish, albeit clumsily, knocking here and there, eventually managing to kill it.

In the distance, a man with a hat was leisurely fishing with a rod.

Compared to the busy man in front of the camera, the fishing man appeared utterly relaxed.

Xu Xingguang immediately recognized them: the scruffy man was Zheng Qin, the man clumsily killing the fish was Ying Ziyao, and the leisurely fishing man was Huo Wen’an.

Who would have thought that upon their reunion, the playboy of Divine Concealment Island turned into a wandering Robinson, and the dashing deputy dean of the Chinese Academy of Sciences became a ruthless fish-killing expert.

As for Huo Wen’an...

Xu Xingguang zoomed in on the video, gazing at Huo Wen’an’s profile, and laughed again.

It’s wonderful that you’re all still alive.

This short video was a clipped version, moved by fans from the streaming website, making netizens laugh out loud.

Seeing Ying Ziyao struggle to kill a fish, netizens commented: [Honestly, I’ve never seen anyone struggle so much to kill a fish.]

Seeing Zheng Qin squatting by the boiler with a soot-smudged face, another commented: [Which zoo did this wild man escape from?]

However, when they saw the final cooked hotpot, everyone fell silent.

[Ah, what a delicacy from the Human World, it looks really delicious.]

[Wild man, can you open a restaurant?]

[Hey, you in the background fishing, why aren’t you coming to eat?]

As if hearing the netizens’ call, the man fishing quietly stood up and walked towards the live-stream camera step by step.

When his face was clearly captured by the camera, the screen went silent for a moment or two, then was flooded with comments—

[Where did this handsome man come from?]

[In a minute, I want all his information!]

[I finally understand why he appeared last, he’s the showstopper!]
