My Salvation Game Became true?!.
Chapter 279 - 255: Only Fine Food Should Not Be Let Down (Two-in-One - )_3

Her eyes widened in hesitation, and with a face full of reluctance, she bit her lip and refused, "No, that would be too wasteful." As someone from Sword Flower City, she firmly supported her city’s interests and couldn’t just accept favors from Blue Star.

She had to restrain herself!

"It’s not wasteful at all, these are just ordinary foods from our Blue Star."

Upon hearing what her mentor said, Shi Yunxi also nodded, "Although we don’t eat like this at every meal, it’s not necessary to eat so elaborately, and we definitely can afford it; it’s all inexpensive."

Your lives on Blue Star are so luxurious!

Matissa’s craving was piqued, and she couldn’t resist the sweet temptation. After all, if this wasn’t anything expensive, having a little bit wouldn’t be a big problem, right? She was an envoy bringing mutually beneficial cooperation and would definitely benefit Blue Star while standing firm on Sword Flower City’s position to secure more advantages for her city and academy.

So, she convinced herself to eat — perhaps eating more would even make the negotiations smoother.

That’s just the custom on Blue Star; in the words of the Blue Star people, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

Matissa convinced herself this way.

Seeing her turn into a shape of delicious food, Fang You mentally patted himself on the back.

Praising his gastronomic empire for having ’conquered’ Matissa, the envoy from Sword Flower City with just some tasty food, couldn’t have been better.

Even if he didn’t succeed, he would have no loss.

True to his word, these were merely ordinary delicacies, and even if some high-grade ingredients like crystal corn kernels and meat from the meat fields were used, they were actually not that expensive.

Ordinary people couldn’t afford them, but elites like Anna and Shi Yunxi could eat them every day without a problem.

These ingredients only contained more energy that slightly enhanced the flavors, and he had even more precious ingredients at his disposal — those that could increase dimensions and provide benefits — but those he didn’t bring out.

With everyone well-fed and well-drunk, the conversation went smoothly.

— for Fang You’s part.

He easily extracted a lot of information from Matissa’s mouth. This information might be widely known among the Great Oasis, considered ’common knowledge’ by the oasis elites, but for Blue Star, it was invaluable.

Normal budding forces had no way to access this information and even if they could, it would come at a great cost.

The weight of information about the Mysterious World was significant.

But perhaps the meal was too enticing, or perhaps the potential power and strength displayed by Blue Star was strong enough that Matissa didn’t hesitate too much to reveal many details.

Most of what she said, Fang You had heard before, and now he could cross-reference it.

There were also a few newer pieces of information.

"Indeed, traveling from the deeper layers of the Ghastly Realm to the shallower worlds is easier than the other way around," Matissa said. "Just like water flowing downstream, as long as you set up a ceremony and open a gap, you can descend along the flow."

"But in regions bordering the shallow layers, there exists a world repulsion force; the higher the life level of the Awakener, the more difficult it is to descend, and they’ll be pushed back."

"So, our Sword Flower City, including other envoys from the Great Oasis, are usually elites of the third Awakening like myself. Unless there’s a significant situation, or the world’s repulsion weakens, then someone of higher stature like our vice-principal would come."

She explained.

Of course, the specifics of the ’descent ceremony’ were not discussed, as they involved advanced information.

Unless it was for purchase, but Fang You had no intention of buying.

Their Empire didn’t need the descent ceremonies of the Great Oasis forces, which were not particularly clever — the truly top-notch and powerful ceremonies were held by the Evil God factions.

When the day came that their Empire needed one, they would likely already have a decent ceremony method.

He wasn’t buying, and Matissa seemed slightly disappointed.

Another failed sales attempt.

Previously, she had subtly pitched many types of ’products’ such as Awakening Potions, Awakening Secret Techniques, and rituals for Awakening, as well as methods to reduce pollution, secrets related to Mysterious Evil, and much knowledge and intelligence — none of which could be sold.

"We already have those and don’t need them. Perhaps, Miss Matissa, you can think of something else Sword Flower City has? Don’t worry if you can’t come up with anything right away; no deal doesn’t mean we can’t be friends."

"Similarly, Miss Matissa might want to take a look at Blue Star’s specialties."

Matissa was exasperated.

Which oasis had gotten ahead of them, and how could they have sold so much knowledge? Related to Awakening, pollution, Mysterious Evil — everything was sold! How much have you profited from Blue Star?!

Just thinking about falling behind and allowing the neighbor to make a fortune made Matissa’s chest heave with shortness of breath from the heartache.

At this point, a waiter handed her a thick leather-bound book.

"This contains many of Blue Star’s specialties, you might want to take a look, Miss Matissa."

Upon hearing this, she opened the book.

Like a menu, it not only had the names of the specialties but also pictures and descriptions, making it clear at a glance.

She quickly flipped through the book and discovered that Blue Star’s preparations were too thorough! Sword Flower City claimed to have traded with many new forces and visited many worlds that hadn’t been engulfed, but in comparison, they seemed like amateurs.

This wouldn’t do!

They had to learn from this!

As she thought this, her gaze lingered over each exquisitely crafted dish, and before she knew it, she was transfixed.

Maybe she should also take some delicious food back for the headmaster to try.

...

Matissa, representing Sword Flower City, finally managed to sell a ’product’ that wasn’t rejected.
