Chapter 350: Chapter 349: First, Rule Out a Correct Answer

"Sir, your fried chicken tenders are ready!"

Chaoyang took the chicken tenders and handed over two copper coins.

"Thank you for your patronage! Next, please!"

"Try it, it should be a brand-new flavor you’ve never experienced before." He inserted a wooden stick into the bag, then handed it to Kokomoqi.

"Isn’t this just chicken breast? It’s cheap, sure, but it’s hardly a delicacy..." The Magic Goddess stuffed a tender into her mouth, only to be slightly taken aback... It was so fragrant!

Moreover, the meat was tender and juicy, starkly different from any chicken breast she’d eaten before!

"Not bad, huh?" Chaoyang smiled.

This was also one of the control center’s projects—they were not just collecting plant and animal samples here, but also brought some of Earth’s domesticated livestock to test whether ordinary animals could adapt to the Netherworld environment. As early as half a month ago, Magnificent Castle had built a relatively modern white-feather chicken farm, and this batch of chicken meat came exactly from the other side of the ocean.

But the meat itself was not the decisive factor.

Monosodium glutamate, cumin powder, garlic powder, pepper powder, five-spice powder, and over a dozen other blended spices, oil pans controlled to the proper temperature, and the deep-frying process, from marinating the raw ingredients to serving them to the customer—these things, common in modern fast-food chains, were new to the Old Continent. The food industry here was just starting, primarily focusing on various canned goods; marinades were nothing more than salt and sugar. Large hotels and restaurants did have common spices like chili and pepper, but when compared to Earth, they seemed rather unsophisticated.

Even nobles who were accustomed to feasting on meat and fish were left with an unforgettable impression when faced with this ace product, the result of intense competition among countless street snacks.

Not to mention ordinary people who usually ate bread porridge and roasted wild boar meat.

Kokomoqi looked at him oddly for a while, "Are you sure your core is Paradise and not Knowledge? It’d be more believable if you said your name was Ninatayu."

Ninata... Chaoyang remembered this name; it seemed to be the former God of Knowledge.

Of course, he had no idea how to establish a fast-food system, nor did he know how to build a Paradise. He simply conveyed his needs to people like Xue Quan, and naturally, someone would work towards that direction behind the scenes. For example, he had earlier hoped to use the trend of visiting large airplanes to gradually turn Thistlefort into a tourist city, and now the daily foot traffic in the city had already exceeded the total of the past month. There were even bizarre situations where the neighboring city’s train tickets surged in price with seating tickets in short supply.

"How can it be called Paradise on Earth without entertainment and delicacies?" After all, a bluff was a bluff, whether said once or twice; Chaoyang didn’t care anymore. He led her to a quiet flowerbed, found a bench, and sat down, "I thought the one who would come to me first would be the guy who sneak attacked me during the spar... He seemed to harbor a considerable hatred towards me."

"His name is Engfelt... He’s a junior of Yu. Yu didn’t expect him to suddenly strike, so Yu apologizes to you on his behalf."

Was there a misunderstanding? Chaoyang sipped the freshly bought juice, "A junior means... he’s also one of the divinities? But at the moment of contact, I didn’t sense his Divine Country, nor did my own give any warning."

Even the Spiritual Rhinoceros Vista detected nothing.

"Engfelt is the God of Heroes, born in an era when humans still praised heroes. I can’t reveal his abilities, but as you’ve seen, he’s adept at hiding; in one-on-one combat, he has few rivals. Although what Engfelt did was wrong, Yu can understand the impetus behind his impulsiveness..."

At this, Kokomoqi stared at him.

"This is also the question I most wanted to ask you in person, Chaoyang, why do you possess power similar to that of an Evil God? That sort of red light that surges like a multitude of snakes, I’ve only seen it in the fanatics of the Causal Sect."

She flipped her right hand over, and the Magic Hourglass appeared again in the palm of her hand.

I guessed you would ask that.

Without wasting words, Chaoyang took the hourglass and said, "Who knows? I once fought the Causal Sect at Magnificent Castle, and even repelled the invasion of the Evil God. Since then, I’ve had this ability. It sounds unbelievable, but it’s true. The Evil God has not affected me in any way, and I’m not a follower of the Primordial Gods."

Of course, this was not the truth.

A part of the Evil God was currently twined around his hand, constantly controlling the flow of the hourglass, ensuring it operated just as it normally would. After replicating the hourglass ability from the other party, Chaoyang had studied this thing... It was fundamentally a curio, much like the cross used by Ge Wei, capable of resonating with the soul of those who hold it. It seemed that it could not escape the "Sea of Myriad Knowledges" boasted by Shi Yin, who had only played with it for a while before fully mastering how to control it.

"Heh, Evil God, heh."

Shi Yin even let out a scoff.

Kokomoqi looked at the hourglass for a good while, then said reassuringly, "Actually, I feel the same way, that you’re not like a mad fanatic who has lost his reason. It’s a pity Engfelt is different. The city-state he protected was destroyed because of the Evil God, and therefore he hates anything that has to do with the Heretical Cult."

"Can divinities also be influenced by the Evil God?" This was knowledge Chaoyang had never encountered before.

"Of course... This is also where I fail to understand Kosmos. He clearly knows that this world is constantly under the threat of the Evil God, yet he decided to help the Longjiu Family wage war... Perhaps his will has been tainted by the invasion of the Evil God long ago." Kokomoqi put away the hourglass, "You’ve done well. Although I do not know much about the cities in the New Continent, those pioneers are also humans in need of protection, and you have fulfilled the duty of the divinities."

"So, did Engfelt come with you?"

She shook her head, "I did not inform him before I left. I think it’s better for you two to keep your distance until we are certain of the answer."

"I think so too." Chaoyang fully agreed.

"If I see that guy again next time, let me touch him," Shi Yin suddenly said.

"What for, can you undo his abilities?"

"There’s no need for that much trouble. Since that guy’s city was destroyed because of the Primordial Gods, he definitely fought with one of them, and must have been tainted with their stench. I just need to sniff that smell to easily find him out."

"Wait a second, you’re saying I also smell like the God of Causality now?" Chaoyang glared at it.

"More than just smell, I’m not air." Shi Yin pursed its lips, "If an avatar of the Primordial Gods were to appear in this world now, they would sense their own presence from hundreds of miles away. But don’t worry, crossing the barrier of worlds is not easy. Before their stench leaks out, I will give you a warning in advance."

"Then I should thank you." He rolled his eyes silently and then asked the Magic Goddess, "You said you had quite a few questions to ask me, what else is there?"

Kokomoqi’s gaze suddenly became elusive, she tilted her head slightly as if avoiding his eyes, "There is also... um... there’s also... did you come up with these games on your own?"
