Original God, starting from the sister against the brother

The desert on a midsummer night is not as hot as during the day.

A few cool breezes blew by, making people feel very comfortable.

"Come on, cheers!"

The rough voice of the man next to him came, and the wine glass in his hand was already in front of Chao Ke's face.

Chao Ke understood, clinked his glasses, and said heroically, "Cheers!"

Then he drank the remaining wine in the glass in one gulp.

"it is good!!!"

Chao Ke's straightforward performance won the applause of the mercenaries.

As the bonfire continued to burn, the atmosphere of the banquet continued to heat up.

Several girls from the mercenary group also began dancing by the campfire amid the crowd's cheers.

The cool breeze, the roaring bonfire, and the graceful dancing of the young girls together create the ultimate enjoyment on this stretch of sand.

It's just... I hope there's no drug in this wine.

An hour later.

The noisy breeze gradually died down, and the banquet bonfire slowly went out because no one added firewood.

Even the restless female mercenaries now lay quietly on the ground and began to rest peacefully.

Chao Ke was the only one left standing on this stretch of sand.

"Forget it, you dance well, so I'll spare your lives."

Chao Ke turned and left, and with a few flashes, he disappeared on the hill.

--------

At this time, several days had passed since Chao Ke left Fontaine.

During these days, Chao Ke rushed all the way from Fuluoyu in Xumi to the lower wind erosion area.

Since he possesses the authority of the water element, Chao Ke does not have to worry about fresh water supply along the way.

As for food? There are a variety of ingredients available for purchase in the system store.

Besides, as long as you have enough strength, there is no shortage of supply stations in this vast desert.

After a night of non-stop travel, Chao Ke finally saw Aru Village from afar on the hill the next morning.

Although the straight-line distance from Aru Village is not far, the difference in altitude between the two places is very large.

Even though Chao Ke relied on his excellent physical fitness and climbed down the hill directly, it still took him a lot of time to reach Aru Village.

But if it were an ordinary person, he would probably have to take a long detour and it would take at least half a day to get here.

Walking along the wooden bridge into Aru Village, Chao Ke's foreign attire instantly caught the attention of the Aru Village guards.

But the guards of Aru Village just looked at Chao Ke with serious eyes. Although they showed vigilance, they did not have the attitude of expelling him.

Chao Ke pondered.

Has Candice been elected as the [Guardian] of Aru Village?

That’s good, it saves me a lot of trouble.

Under the watchful eyes of the surrounding guards, Chao Ke officially stepped into the land of Aru Village, the final resting place of the descendants of the Red King.

Ignoring the strange looks from the people around him, Chao Ke passed through Aru Village specifically with a purpose.

Azalai, a merchant in Aru village.

To be precise, there are two recipes that can be obtained from Azalai, [Aru Bibimbap] and [Gilded Pot].

Walking down the stone steps one by one, Chao Ke's sharp eyes quickly scanned the village.

"Found it!"

Not only that, in addition to Azale, there was another unexpected gain.

Candice, the current [Guardian] of Aru Village, was leading a group of people near Azalai, apparently arguing about something.

After approaching, Chao Ke heard their conversation clearly.

It turned out that the caravan following Candice was from Xumi City, and their captain was negotiating the price of the goods with Azalai.

Candice was also slightly surprised at Chao Ke's appearance. She walked forward a few steps to Chao Ke and asked.

"Hello, stranger. Could you tell me why you came to Aru Village?"

Looking at the beautiful woman with different eyes in cool clothes in front of him, Chao Ke couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

Candice’s age should be not much different from mine, around 17-19 years old.

Although not as mature as in the plot, it has developed quite well. Well, it must be at least four or five times the size of Master Hu...

He coughed lightly, withdrew his gaze from Ke, and spoke seriously to Candice.

"I'm a chef from Fontaine. I want to travel around the world and learn about the different cooking styles of each country. I passed by your village to get some supplies and learn about the food culture here."

"Oh? Is that so..."

Candice looked up and down at Chao Ke, and after a moment she extended her hand, "Aru Village welcomes you. My name is Candice, and I am the current [Guardian] here."

"My name is Chao Ke, a chef from Fontaine."

Chao Ke held Candice's hand and was slightly surprised, "What a smooth touch!"

Generally speaking, people who use spears will have some calluses on their palms, but Candice's hands don't feel that way. Instead, they feel... very smooth.

He is worthy of being the owner of the Water God's Eye.

After greeting Candice, Chao Ke walked straight to Azalai and watched him bargain with the captain of the caravan from Xumi City.

Candice, who was standing still, looked at Chao Ke's back with a serious expression and a frown on her face.

"Carrying only a box and no supplies... a troublesome figure."

"Also, what's going on with that inexplicable palpitation I just had..."

Azalai and the captain of the caravan did not pay attention to Chao Ke's arrival, but continued to negotiate.

"Sir, can you lower the price of spices? I can increase the purchase volume, and we can also establish a stable supply and demand relationship in the future. What do you think?"

The caravan captain responded to Azalai's request.

"I understand that the price of these spices is not cheap, but our caravan has to spend a lot of money on transportation costs alone. Moreover... let me be frank, there is nothing special in Aru Village that is worth bringing back. This is a one-way trip. We can't sell it at a loss, right?"

Azalay: "I understand, but..."

In this way, the two of them talked for a long time before they agreed on a price that was acceptable to both parties and profitable.

"Happy cooperation!"

After the deal was done, the caravan members followed Candice's instructions and went to the villagers' homes to eat and rest, leaving only Chao Ke and Azalai.

"Sir, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Since Azalai didn't see Chao Ke bringing any goods, he didn't think Chao Ke was here to discuss business.

This was indeed the case, and Chao Ke explained to Azalai why he was there.

"Oh? Do you want to know about the special food of Aru Village? You have found the right person. How about you come to my house at noon and I will show you my cooking skills?"

Chao Ke's eyes lit up and he quickly agreed.

The operation in Aru Village went much more smoothly than he had expected.

At noon, Azalai demonstrated his rich cooking skills to Chao Ke as he promised.

The sweet and sour aru bibimbap, the rich filling of date palm honey, and the gilded pot filled with rich meaty aroma.

The genuine enthusiasm actually reminded Chao Ke of an ancient poem he had learned before.

"Don't laugh at the muddy wine of the farmers; in good years there are enough chickens and pigs to entertain guests."

Azalai was especially unhappy when Chao Ke expressed his intention to pay for the meal and wanted to spend money to buy the recipes of [Aru Bibimbap] and [Gilded Pot].

He waved his hand to refuse Chao Komora, then took out a pen and paper, wrote down the recipes for [Aru Bibimbap] and [Gilded Pot] on the spot, and gave them to Chao Ke for free.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the recipe - Aru Bibimbap]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the recipe - Gilded Pot]

The system issued two prompts, approving the two recipes.

After saying goodbye, Chao Ke strolled along the streets of Aru Village.

Feeling the satisfaction in his stomach, Chao Ke couldn't help but sigh that although the infrastructure of Aru Village was a bit shabby, the simple and humane atmosphere left Chao Ke with a very wonderful impression.

Of course, Azalai treated him warmly, and Chao Ke was not a rude person either.

In Azalai's kitchen, a check worth one million Mora was lying quietly in a corner.

Generous enthusiasm should be rewarded with generous Mora.
