In the guesthouse living room, Emilia sat at one corner of the dining table, her ethereal beauty evident as she savored the dishes. At that moment, Elf Parker arrived, ready for work, and was taking in the scent of the girl’s silver hair.
This scene drew envious glances from two boys.
“Chen Fan, what are you eating? It smells amazing!” Peter Parker exclaimed, not inhaling the fragrance of the girl but rather the delicious aroma wafting through the hall.
“Fried rice!” The boy took a bite, squinting his eyes before looking over. “Want some?”
Tang Xin'er had originally prepared her own dish but had given up without hesitation. She couldn’t understand how he could be so confident about his cooking when he couldn’t even tell sugar from salt.
“Can I?” Elf Parker wiped his mouth; if it were just ordinary food, he wouldn’t show such eagerness.
—Could Chen Fan’s cooking be ordinary? Clearly not!
Taking an empty plate from the table, Chen Fan scooped some fried rice onto it and then ignored them.
The dish that made Elf Parker drool was something others would fear to approach. The sizzling sounds from the plate, combined with the occasional flicker of purple arcs in the rice, made it look like a dish infused with some kind of potion.
“So fragrant! It’s just too fragrant!” Elf Parker exclaimed as he darted from Emilia’s shoulder to the plate, inhaling deeply. A spoon flew into his hand, and he scooped a mouthful of fried rice into his mouth. Immediately, his eyes widened, and every hair on his body stood on end, resembling a porcupine.
“Peter Parker, are you okay?” Emilia asked with concern at his sudden transformation, but received only a response filled with delight.
“This fried rice… is delicious!” Peter Parker said after swallowing a bite. “Leah, you should try it; it’s absolutely amazing!”
Emilia perked up her nose, her eyes showing interest. However, before she could act, a lazy voice interrupted: “Peter Parker, you might want to keep it to yourself!”
While cooking, Chen Fan had infused quite a bit of Life Lightning into his dishes. Such food would pose no problem for Elf Parker, but for anyone else who dared to taste it, they might either explode or faint from the intensity.
Simply put, only those strong enough could savor the meals prepared by a powerful chef.
And an excellent culinary master would only offer their finest creations to those they deemed worthy; there would never be a second scenario.
"Sorry, Leah, it seems you can't eat this!" After Chen Fan's reminder, Elf Parker understood.
This dish was something that ordinary people truly could not handle.
The others around the dining table exchanged glances, wondering why such a terrifying and unsettling dish had suddenly become popular.
Could it be that people from another world had a fondness for dark cuisine?
But why did that maid look so frightened?
...
After breakfast and a brief rest, everyone left the guesthouse, carrying their meager luggage as they boarded the Dragon Car.
That's right, the Dragon Car!
A unique feature of this world, it was a dinosaur-like creature, massive in size, hardworking and reliable, possessing strength far beyond that of an elephant and the endurance of a turtle—ideal for pulling carts.
The Tang siblings excitedly took pictures with their smartphones, causing Lai Yueang to freeze momentarily as he prepared to pull out his own phone. Mabapi! These two siblings were wealthy; their phones were the premium version sold by Stark Industries.
Each one cost a staggering $108,000!
He felt embarrassed to take out his basic model phone, which only had standard definition capabilities.
The appearance of the smartphones naturally drew the attention of Emilia and her group. Curious gazes turned towards them, and after the sounds of clicking and snapping, images were captured on the crystal screen. Such an item was truly a first in their eyes.
"Chen Fan... what are they holding? Magical equipment?" Peter Parker floated over to Chen Fan. Among them, only Chen Fan radiated a familiar aura.
An aura of monsters.
"It's a smartphone, a common item in my country; basically everyone has one!" Chen Fan glanced over and suddenly remembered he had forgotten his phone. Yohou sighed.
For modern people, a day without a mobile phone is simply boring to death.
Fortunately, these Vibrant Goods have mobile phones, but they can't connect to the internet and are in a state of phased obsolescence. Once the battery runs out, they become useless.
Chen Fan indeed has the ability to wirelessly charge a phone, but why would he want to do that?
Without comparison, there is no harm.
"If you want one, I can mail you one when I return to my country!" Looking at the curious expression on Peter Parker's face, Chen Fan smacked his lips and said.
Curiosity killed the cat; why doesn't this Spirit Cat understand that?
After some casual chatting, everyone boarded the Dragon Car. However, when it was time to drive, the strong and sturdy beast pulling the cart, the Earth Dragon, trembled all over and knelt down on the ground, refusing to budge no matter how much they urged it. It just lay there, shivering.
"The Earth Dragon seems to be terrified of something?" Rem, who was driving the Dragon Car, glanced at everyone in the vehicle, his gaze lingering on a delicate face.
Elf Parker also noticed this and humorously shook his shoulders, teasing, "Looks like Chen Fan, you're disliked by the Earth Dragon!"
In this situation, Chen Fan felt helpless. This was a change brought about by the enhancement of his essence of life. Even when talking to people normally, they would show fearful expressions; how much more so for an Earth Dragon that only acted on instinct and had a low intelligence!
"Take me to where they sell Dragon Cars, let's see if there are any bolder creatures around!" Chen Fan stretched lazily and got off the Dragon Car. This state made him nostalgic for his days in the Marvel Universe.
Want to go somewhere? In a blink, Monster Teacher sent him to his destination while providing various snacks and drinks along the way—
Everyone chuckled bitterly as they got off the Dragon Car.
……
In the Dragon Kingdom Lugnica, this country seemed like a joke to Chen Fan.
The king's unexpected death went uninvestigated; no new king was established. Yet everyone did nothing but stand before a stone, praying for the protection of the Divine Dragon, allowing foreign invasions and chaos within their own land—
With gritted teeth, they stubbornly chose the Dragon Priestess to compete for the throne.
If it weren't for the existence of Reinhardt, the Sword Saint, this country would have long ceased to exist.
This was all information that Chen Fan learned from Peter Parker while heading to the Dragon Car specialty store.
"Peter Parker, have you ever seen the Divine Dragon?" Chen Fan's eyes sparkled with lightning; the prefix "Divine" carried a significant weight, and the manifestation of this dragon bore a striking resemblance to that of a deity.
It was still an object of worship and reverence for many.
"I haven't seen that guy; he appeared after I fell asleep!" Elf Parker's disdain was evident. A junior had actually dragged his daughter into such troublesome events.
If he could find the other party, he would love to teach that junior a lesson about what it meant to be a senior.
Chen Fan nodded, committing this matter to memory, planning to investigate further. If the Divine Dragon shared similarities with deities, well, he wouldn't hold back.
With Emilia's presence, Chen Fan and his group were conspicuous wherever they went. Passersby pointed and whispered among themselves, filled with disdain and fear, making everyone feel uncomfortable.
"Peter Parker, don't you think all this is annoying?" Chen Fan frowned as he enjoyed the novelty of their treatment. He let out a cold snort, and an invisible pressure spread through the street, silencing the otherworldly beings around them.
"Leah is too kind..." Peter Parker murmured softly. Watching the shocked expressions of those passing by made him feel a pang of bitterness. If it weren't for Emilia's feelings, how could he tolerate such lowly beings pointing at his daughter?
"If you don't want to stay in this country anymore, you can come to my territory!" Chen Fan casually remarked before stepping into the Dragon Car specialty store.
It was a shop located in the center of the street, lavishly decorated and quite large, resembling a castle.
"I didn't expect you to be a lord, Chen Fan!" Peter Parker followed closely behind and returned to the girl's shoulder, looking at Chen Fan with an unusual gaze.
The Tang Siblings were busy taking pictures of the otherworldly scenery with their phones. Hearing Peter Parker and Chen Fan's conversation, Lai Yueang curiously leaned in closer to the siblings and asked with a puzzled tone, "Mr. Chen Fan is a lord? Is there still a concept of lords on Earth?"
He was a pure Earthling, belonging to the same world as Chen Fan and the Tang Siblings.
In the modernized world, the concept of a lord had long since disappeared.
"Mr. Chen Fan's territory is a land comparable to Asia, situated in a different world connected to Earth!" Tang Xin'er said calmly, as she had already gathered information about Chen Fan and stored it in her mind.
"This... this is hundreds of times larger than Lugnica, right?" Lai Yueang exclaimed. Having already existed in another world, he did not consider the Earth-connected realm to be an illusion.
The map of the Lugnica Kingdom hung in the hall of the villa, showing that its territory was larger than half of the Island Nation. By comparison, it was likely much more than just hundreds of times larger than Lugnica Kingdom!
Tang scoffed; a loser was still a loser.
Although he wasn't much better when he first heard the news than Lai Yueang was now, at this moment, he had to look down on him!
