With the help of the Invisibility Branch, Da Fei followed the group of Pan Gods delivering food into the dining hall, which was actually a large warehouse filled with various kinds of wines and dishes.
Just in case, Da Fei huddled behind a barrel, quietly watching these Pan Gods place the sacrifices on the shelves, then watched them leave. After the guarding Pan Gods inspected and confirmed, there was a clang, and the dining hall door closed.
Only then did Da Fei notice that the horns of these two guarding Pan Gods were golden, completely different from the ones encountered earlier. Clearly, they were elite-level fighters. However, no matter how strong they were, there was still no way to stop Da Feiās God-level Stealth dual insurance from bluffing through.
Time to act! Da Fei canceled the branch, reverting to stealth mode in the current space, as in the Otherworld, one could only see but not touch.
Da Fei quietly opened the wine cabinet he saw earlier, filled neatly with grape wine. Without a word, he quickly swapped them all with poison wine.
But was swapping enough? Looking at the warehouse filled with food, Da Fei felt like a mouse that fell into a granary, a thief sneaking into a vault, a rising urge to steal that was hard to suppress! There were so many things here, stealing a bit more wouldnāt be noticed, right?
However, small impatience mars big schemes. What if the other side has an alarm system? Da Fei ultimately restrained himself. After all, this was a granary, not a vault, and Da Fei had that bit of self-control. But if it was a vault, Da Fei couldnāt say for sure; he might just go all out.
Now itās a matter of waiting, waiting for the next batch of Pan Gods to deliver food and open the door so he can sneak out. This was the finalized plan after discussions with Savara. Initially, Da Feiās plan was for Savara to sneak in and poison the food, but Savara didnāt know Stealth Skill, merely relying on a branchās invisibility was likely unsafe, plus it was uncertain if Savara had enough time to poison the food.
So ultimately, he could only work with the wine, which was admittedly a bit of a regret for Da Fei. If he could poison the food, maybe in a fit of anger, the God of Wine would directly ruin Japanās progress. Oh, what a pity!
Wait, Da Feiās heart suddenly raced; if itās just to enrage the God of Wine, thereās no need to fuss with poisoning. I could just do my business on their foodāno, digging out a booger is enough to disgust them, right?
Of course, the game doesnāt have feces (except for the Harpy), but adding a bit more salt is no problem. And salt is something players get in the starter pack when they enter the game, a staple material for beginner cooking. Da Fei seemed to have never used salt since he started the game.
Itās time to put salt! Do it? Do it! Itās a must! Although Da Fei successfully suppressed his urge to steal, the destructive urge was impossible to suppress.
But wait! Canāt spread it everywhere! If I scatter salt everywhere right from the start and the others taste something odd, the banquet wonāt happen, ruining the big plan instead.
Main dish! The main dish should be served last, sprinkle a big clump of salt right on it. Imagine when theyāre enjoying the poisoned wine, suddenly finding a large salt clump in the main dish, itād be hard not to freak out! As for the main dish, Da Fei immediately focused his attention on the grand platter over there, stacked with various fruits and side dishes, the oil-roasted whole pigāitās got the flair, those shiny tusks, itās the one!
Da Fei took out a big package of salt, quietly approached, then a property panel popped up:
ā Hellfire Volcano Roasted Whole Pig: Masterpiece from hell gourmet, Ogre Akzabi, meticulously made using rare Hellfire Wild Boar ingredients, its effects increase with the perfection level of the sacrifice.
S-level cooking, sacrifice materials. When consumed during a priest ceremony, permanently increases life by 50-500 points, stamina by 10-50 points, attack, defense, magic, knowledge by 5-20 points. Achieves maximum values under perfect sacrifice conditions. (Note: Attributes are permanently added only when consumed during the sacrifice ceremony.)
...
Da Feiās eyebrows twitched wildly, my goodness, how can there be such a gruesome dish? Is this a dish Japanās players acquired?
In Da Feiās impression, cooking should temporarily increase attributes; even if permanent, it shouldnāt add too much. This Hellfire Wild Boar meat completely overturned Da Feiās understandingāthis is only S-level, if it were God-level cooking, wouldnāt it become Tang Sengās flesh!
In any case, it certainly needs to be sabotaged. Da Fei immediately scattered the entire package of salt over it!
ā System Prompt: You released a large amount of extra seasoning on the recipe "Hellfire Volcano Roasted Whole Pig," causing a decline in dish quality.
ā System Prompt: You obtained entry-level cooking information.
Da Fei couldnāt help but laugh, even this could earn information? Haha, fantastic!
Now to stealthily wait, this time Da Fei didnāt have to wait long, sounds of cheering footsteps came from outside. Da Fei immediately activated the Silena Branch, entering double insurance stealth mode, quietly hiding beside the door.
With a clang, the door opened, all the Pan Gods excitedly carried large and small plates inside. As the last Pan God entered, Da Fei slipped out the door and walked away leisurely. Easy, too easy, wahahaha!
Now, Da Fei returned to the woods where Tamilia and Savara were hiding, happily making an OK gesture to them. Next, is to continue hiding and waiting for the banquet.
Before that, the time shouldnāt be wasted; so, of course, itās about using the Blood Eagle to scout their vineyard. However, looking at this garden full of grapes, Da Fei couldnāt see it as the legendary Divine Artifact Vine. Shouldnāt the Divine Artifact Vine be radiant? But the Holy Vine wasnāt glowing.
Da Fei then asked Tamilia: "Do you know how to discern the legendary Ambros Vine?"
Tamilia shook her head: "Itās hard to say. During the time you acted earlier, I closely inspected those grapes; they are indeed rarer and more high-end than ordinary grapes. I also struggle to guarantee enough time to transplant successfully, but at least thereās one thing I can do: I can consume these vines entirely, just like I consumed the Holy Vine at the Hellfire Volcano that couldnāt be transplanted back then."
Da Feiās eyebrows jumped! Consume? Da Fei instantly remembered how Tamilia advanced into a hero beforeāthat process was greedy to the extreme! But I like it! This is much more economical than just burning them down. We can burn whatās left after consuming.
Da Fei delightedly said: "Great, when chaos ensues, weāll act accordingly! Aim for speed, not perfection! Strive for maximal destruction."
Tamilia couldnāt help but get excited: "Alright, this way Iām more confident."
Just then, joyful drumbeats sounded from the plaza, and patrolling Pan Gods everywhere began gathering at the plaza. Oh yeah, the show is starting!
...
At this moment, Mitsubishi Command Center.
Tsukamoto impatiently waved to dismiss the reports from team members: "I donāt want to explain the reasons for the Mobility Masterās failure to any reporters anymore, dismiss any related interviews directly. For us now, dignity isnāt necessary anymore; now, weāre perverts, donāt care about anyoneās accusations or ridicule!"
"Captain, itās news from the Sakura Group; their sacrificial action has begun."
Sakura Group! Hearing this name, Tsukamoto couldnāt help but feel moved but quickly recovered with displeasure: "Please call it the Sakura Bot Group, now itās just a bunch of sleazy guys taking over."
Sly God was also curious: "Didnāt expect the Sakura... err, Bot Groupās progress so fast, already managed to secure hell God-level cooking so quickly?"
Tsukamoto sighed: "No, todayās failure made the Sakura Group feel the crisis. So to force the progress, they barely managed to secure an S-level sacrifice, what a pity. But itās okay, future festivals can make up for it."
Sly God sighed: "Next festival, huh, that requires waiting for a month in real time."
Tsukamoto lamented: "So next time, weāll prepare truly God-level ingredients with all our strength, if necessary, directly skip the Wild Boar tier."
