Chapter 338: Chapter 335: Yan Dingtian’s Green Shadow Life Chapter 338: Chapter 335: Yan Dingtian’s Green Shadow Life “I should be a Great Sacrificial Officer, yet here I am acting like a lackey for others in Green Shadow. Am I out of my mind?”
Sighing, Yan Dingtian had no choice but to follow behind the blue and white Puppet and head back to the Sanctuary.
His clothes were torn to shreds by the violent energy, leaving only a few strips of cloth barely covering certain parts. His long hair, once black and glossy, was now as ssy as seaweed, attracting odd glances from many passersby.
Great Sacrificial Officer Yan felt a desire to die!
…
Since resistance was futile, the only option was resignation.
Monts later, Great Sacrificial Officer Yan changed into a set of clean clothes and surveyed the temporary residence assigned to him.
A small villa, simply decorated but thankfully clean… Yan Dingtian had no complaints. With his life in others’ hands, there was no point in remaining dissatisfied.
He pondered, realizing he needed to try hard to ensure his future wasn’t so bleak.
Thud thud.
Yan Dingtian opened the door only to see a little chubby kid standing outside.
“You must be Elder Yan, the director asked to explain the situation in the Sanctuary to you, and if you have any requests you can tell ,”
said Wang Zhou, who stared at Yan Dingtian’s face for a good while before speaking rapidly.
He still found it hard to believe that the man who looked barely over thirty was actually a two hundred-so-year-old immortal?
And to think he had just been streaking on the streets, how shaless could one get?
Yan Dingtian was unaware of Wang Zhou’s thoughts.
He just felt that, having been captured, the Sanctuary at least showed him so respect, and his expression eased slightly.
He paused, hands behind his back, and said indifferently, “Well then, go ahead and tell .”
…
Yan Dingtian followed Wang Zhou through the villa area, the planting area, the Equipnt Factory Area, and finally arrived at the bustling comrcial district.
The little chubby kid explained each place in great detail.
Great Sacrificial Officer Yan maintained a cold deanor, occasionally responding with few words, but inside, he was quite astonished.
The crops in the planting area could mature in as little as ten days, at most a month or two, ensuring a harvest each season with full grains of the highest quality.
As a “forr Great Sacrificial Officer of Nanlin Country,” Yan Dingtian was not just a Martial Artist. He considered himself a cultured person and was quite knowledgeable about national affairs. Food shortages were common, and only the Royal Capital and a few other major cities in the Kingdom had constructed irrigation towers and hired Mages to fertilize the lands… Even so, the yield per acre in the Royal Capital could not compare to this place.
He knew that in the Fifth Epoch there was a power called “technology” and although the food production of Lindong Sanctuary was not exceptionally high, Yan Dingtian had previously looked down on it but now took ntal note of it.
Suddenly, he felt that sothing was amiss.
‘I’m just a captive, at best a gold-dal fighter, not a Great Sacrificial Officer—what’s the point of caring about these things?’
Even the sight of the rune technology in Green Shadow, which he’d been eager to witness, now seed tasteless to him.
…
The comrcial district was at its liveliest at night, with the colorful Source Power Lights dazzling to the eyes.
“Elder Yan, this is one of Green Shadow’s most renowned streets, the Food Street! Not to brag, but the high-level ingredients at these shops are all sourced from the Logistics Departnt, and coupled with an abundance of seasonings and fully equipped facilities, our local cuisine is streets ahead of anywhere else.”
Wang Zhou said proudly, puffing out his chest, “And I, as a renowned gourt of Green Shadow, know which shop has the best chefs, you’re in for a treat today, elder.”
Yan Dingtian nodded non-committally.
As a “forr Great Sacrificial Officer of Nanlin Country,” with his revered status, he had tasted all sorts of cuisines. In his youth, he had even visited the Ancient Spirit Imperial City, hailed as the ‘Capital of Gourt’. Now, having lived for over two hundred years, Yan Dingtian had beco indifferent to food. Having ascended to the Transcendent Tier, he no longer needed to consu food to sustain his daily energy…
Nevertheless, the little fatty was enthusiastic, and Yan Dingtian didn’t refuse.
Wang Zhou, beaming with excitent, entered a decently sized shop. He chose a seat by the window and imdiately summoned a waiter, not even glancing at the nu before placing the order with familiarity.
Yan Dingtian sat calmly opposite, glancing at the nu…
Hmm?
He looked again, perplexed… Why couldn’t he understand so of the items?
Water-Boiled Iridescent Fish and such, he could comprehend—it was probably a soup made from iridescent fish. But what in the world were dishes like “Buddha Jumps Over the Wall” and “Gazing at the Stars”?!
He couldn’t make heads or tails of it.
Yan Dingtian’s throat bobbed, wanting to inquire but hesitant to ask for fear of losing face. After so thought, he decided to sit quietly. After all, they were just so food items, and their nas were of no consequence.
He’d just have a taste when the dishes arrived.
The exquisitely prepared dishes were served promptly; Yan Dingtian looked at them but remained unimpressed.
As the “forr Great Sacrificial Officer of Nanlin Country,” he had seen even the most extravagant presentations of food.
The offerings of Green Shadow before him were just diocre.
“After all, it’s just a Sanctuary,” he mused. “In the era before the apocalypse, at best it would be a rather flourishing city. How could it compare to the Royal Capital?”
A wafting fragrance hit his nostrils.
“Hmm? This… actually seems alright?”
While Yan Dingtian judged, Wang Zhou opposite him had already started to devour his al with gusto. The evident bliss of tasting sothing delicious was undeniable and it made Yan Dingtian skeptical.
Could it really be that tasty? No, that couldn’t be right. The little fatty was at best an ordinary official. The finest foods he had tasted couldn’t possibly compare to Yan Dingtian’s experience…
‘After all, I’ve been to the culinary capital before, and having tasted everything there, I felt it was all rather ordinary, let alone the fare from such a small place.’
He picked up his chopsticks and nonchalantly grabbed a translucent slice of fish, placing it in his mouth.
His indifferent expression changed instantly. The fish lingered in his mouth as he chewed thoughtfully.
For a mont,
he grabbed another piece and put it in his mouth, chewing and savoring it.
“This at… this flavor…”
His movents accelerated, nearly a blur, as the amount of food on the table visibly decreased. Yan Dingtian’s eyes beca brighter and brighter.
Pride?
The aloofness of a strong man?
To hell with them, if this continued, the little fatty would finish everything!
Before long, what would have been a feast for at least twenty people before the apocalypse was completely devoured by the two of them, with Yan Dingtian using his Transcendent Tier super hand speed to gain a dominating advantage in the skirmish for food.
Across the table, Wang Zhou’s hand, holding his chopsticks, hovered mid-air with a hint of dissatisfaction.
“Little fatty, what ingredients are used to make these dishes?”
“…Pork, beef, lamb, chicken, duck, fish—what else could it be?” At this mont, Wang Zhou’s mind was soaring with thoughts of nothing but delicious food.
Yan Dingtian took a deep breath and refrained from asking further. He had plenty of ti left to spend in Green Shadow; there would be ample opportunities to learn more in the future.
Only, he couldn’t figure it out.
The tender texture and the rich flavors that burst forth on his taste buds—how had they co to be?
If Wang Zhou knew about his confusion, he would surely say, “Get to know Mutant Beast at. Get to know the Big Foodie Empire.”
