Looking at the man in front of him, Zheng Yuan looked calm, showing no emotion or anger.
The man is very tall, Zheng Yuan is now close to two meters, and he is still half a body taller than Zheng Yuan, similar to Melk's height. He is wearing a red tight leather jacket, with muscles that hold it up, and the area exposed by the clothes There are black lines extending from it, which looks like a tattoo, but it is very large. The top chef hat on the head is the same style as the masked man, but the color is red, and the chin is very long, which looks extremely weird. .
The man squinted his eyes, but it could be seen from the gaps that his eyes were small, his lips were bloodless, and his face was shaved smoothly. When he smiled, the corners of his eyes wrinkled and his eyes narrowed into slits, which made him look a little funny.
"My name is Lebu Beara, and I am currently the boss of this food casino."
Lebu Beyala said with a smile, looking in a good mood.
"My name is Zheng Yuan, I'm just a nobody."
Lifting a strand of hair with his fingers, Zheng Yuan looked at the scenery below and said intently.
"No, no, no, why should the Ice King be so modest? You are a man who has discovered more than 1,000 ingredients. You became a gourmet hunter at the age of 8, and you discovered dozens of new ingredients in the Melk Forest at the age of 10. You have often appeared on TV these years. You must be only 17 now, right? You are really young and promising."
Lebu Beyala said with some compliments.
"It's just a false name. The world is too big." Zheng Yuan glanced at Lebu Beyala and continued.
"Are there any more interesting games? Those downstairs that just rely on the passing of life to shock people are just childish."
"Of course, we also have an area above VIP. I am here just to invite you to participate!"
Lebu Beyala narrowed his eyes and looked at Zheng Yuan and said, while making a gesture of invitation.
"Let's go, the first level is money, the second level is food, so what will be the third level? It's really exciting."
Zheng Yuan strode down the steps, Lebu Beyala leading the way. Although he had collected intelligence in IGO, due to lack of time to collect intelligence, Zheng Yuan still had a dark look in the third area.
"Haha, that is something more precious than anything else. You will like it at all!"
Lebu Beara looks confident.
"It's quite strong. Fortunately, I brought 100 million here this time!"
Staring at the strange device with holes on the back of Lebu Beyala's neck, Zheng Yuan stared at the system interface with divergent eyes.
"I really want to eat...everything of you!"
Where Zheng Yuan didn't see it, Lebu Beyala opened his eyes. They were dark abyss-like eyes, full of greed. He opened his mouth, and stretched out his dark tongue to lick the air, drooling. Crossflow.
...
Walking through the long corridor covered with cloth, the curtain at the end was lifted, Laib Beyala held the curtain for Zheng Yuan, and Zheng Yuan strode out.
"Welcome to the VIP area!"
Scanning the surroundings, Zheng Yuan showed a hint of surprise. All he could see was a small room with a brain-like appearance, with a small door open.
“It’s so delicious, so delicious!”
From somewhere, a crazy whisper of joy reached Zheng Yuan's ears.
"Give it back to me, give it back to me..."
There was a man in a suit lying on the ground crying in a corner.
"The stakes here are...memory, the memory of the ingredients."
Lebu Beyala approached Zheng Yuan from behind, held Zheng Yuan's shoulders with both hands, and leaned into Zheng Yuan's ear to whisper.
"That is really an extremely precious thing!"
Looking at the man lying on the ground crying helplessly, Zheng Yuan showed a smile.
"Treasured ingredients only appear after decades, centuries, and a generation's youth. In reality, they only exist as extinct ingredients in the past, and they also live in the memories of some people."
Lebu Beyala spread his arms and said with some emotion.
"If these memories are extracted and introduced into our minds, doesn't it mean that we have also eaten these ingredients?"
"So you're targeting my memory? You have a good eye, but I don't know if you have the ability."
Zheng Yuan moved deeper and said without changing his expression.
"Of course, I'm very interested in your experience."
Lebu Beyala admitted frankly and walked side by side with Zheng Yuan.
"Using games to make decisions? Didn't I say that the value of rotten egg bell pepper seeds is far less than my memory!"
Zheng Yuan glanced sideways at Lebu Beyala.
"Of course, but things are rare and valuable. I am the only one in the human world who still has rotten egg bell pepper seeds, but I am willing to use...the information about the atom, the drink of the food god Acacia, as a bargaining chip!"
"Oh? It's really a big bet. Do you actually have information about this kind of ingredient?"
Zheng Yuan touched his chin and pondered for a while.
"I agree, the bet is established!"
After thinking for a while, Zheng Yuan nodded in agreement.
"If you lose, flip the table over. You little guy with small eyes can't beat me anyway!"
Zheng Yuan secretly thought in his heart that he didn't care about the spirit of contract.
"I knew the next game was very simple, oh, here we go, let's go in and talk."
Lebu Beyala strode past Zheng Yuan and entered the destination first.
Zheng Yuan followed closely behind, his eyes darkened at first, and then suddenly became clear.
This is a large room with a layout similar to an arena. There is a large table in the middle of the room, and a large screen on the wall. Dozens of masked men are standing around with weapons in their hands, looking malicious. look like.
"So, what are we going to play? Jinhua, blackjack?"
Sitting on the chair carelessly, he looked at Lebu Beyala who was already sitting in the main seat, ignoring the masked men around him.
"No, it's just a very simple game. Have you heard of neurasthenia?"
Lebu Beyala took out a deck of cards and motioned for Zheng Yuan to see it.
"The food test card is used, with the number on the back and the ingredients and points on the front."
As he spoke, Lebu Beara opened a playing card with a piece of steak and the number 100 on it.
"First, turn all the cards back up, and then turn over the two cards. If the same ingredients are turned out, it will be a Hit. We will give you the ingredients with the same pattern as the cards. You need to finish the ingredients within the same time as the points. If you don’t finish the food, the points will be given to your opponent.”
Lebu Beyala paused, and then one of his subordinates brought Lebu Beyala a drink. After taking a sip of the drink with unknown ingredients, Lebu Beyala continued.
"If the same ingredients are not revealed, it is Out. Turns are exchanged. By the way, if it is Hit, you can continue to draw cards. The upper limit is three."
"There are 56 cards in total, 28 different ingredients! Among the 28 different ingredients, there are two joker ingredients. If you hit it, you can exchange the ingredients with the other party. Of course, you have to finish them. If you haven't finished, you will get no points."
"It's a very simple rule, I understand it."
Zheng Yuan nodded.
"Then let's start drawing cards. The cards have the same number as the hotel stars. Cards also have levels. The higher the level, the rarer the ingredients. Of course, it will be more difficult to eat them. I don't know what level you want to choose?"
Lebu Beyala spread his hands and said.
"Of course it's the highest quality. I'm also very interested in the most precious ingredients."
Zheng Yuan smiled confidently.
"The most advanced one? That's V-level. A set of 56 V-level ingredients is drawn from a list of thousands of cards. In addition, the numbers on the back of the cards are also random."
Lebu Beyala walked over to the machine and started operating it.
"The venue, utensils, and ingredients are all provided by you. You won't cheat, right? (You definitely will!)"
Zheng Yuan asked while the machine was drawing cards.
"Well, I can only ask you to believe me. I am proud to be a casino owner and a gambler!"
Lebu Beyala said to Zheng Yuan with his back turned, but his face was full of ferocity and evil.
"It's no fun to win by cheating!"
Lebu Beyala turned around, holding a brand new card, and said righteously.
"Well, I believe you! (Only ghosts believe you!)"
Zheng Yuan smiled and at the same time the system's light curtain appeared on the card.
