Seeing how unconcerned Lin Qi was, Yu Meng steeled herself. She slowly walked in Lin Qi’s direction and asked tentatively, “Lin Qi, are you giving up too?”

Lin Qi shrugged. “I didn’t say I was giving up!”

“That’s good. Let’s form a team together!”

It was rare for Yu Meng to take the initiative to invite him to participate, so Lin Qi naturally agreed readily. Moreover, it just so happened that he needed a mage to accompany him.

Only then would he be able to bring out the effects of his delicacies.

Seeing that Lin Qi agreed so quickly, Yu Meng lowered her head and said, “Lin Qi, how many of those strange foods do you have?”

Lin Qi chuckled. “Not much, but it can still save your life at a critical moment!”

With Lin Qi’s words, Yu Meng slowly relaxed. That way, she would not have to worry about running out of mana.

Most of the participants had chosen to withdraw. After all, only high-level mages could defeat a rare five-star demonic beast. Ordinary people were simply no match for it.

After registration, Lin Qi and Yu Meng formed a team, and Luther also joined in. Unexpectedly, Lewis also volunteered to join.

Yu Meng frowned. “Lewis, didn’t you choose to withdraw?”

When Lewis saw Yu Meng and Lin Qi discussing, he felt that Lin Qi must have had something good hidden so he could certainly pass the trial by following them.

With the mentality of ‘what could possibly go wrong?’ in his mind, he came over to register.

He nudged Lin Qi with his elbow. “I say, do you still have a lot of food?”

“What food?”

“Like sweet potatoes, steak, soup...”

It turned out that Lewis had his eyes on the food. No wonder he was so brave to register.

Although it was said that the more the merrier, that sentence was false when it came to Lewis. That was why both Lin Qi and Yu Meng disliked him.

If something really happened, he would not be able to help at all. He would even talk non-stop along the way, making people feel annoyed.

Nevertheless, they were all from the same city. Lin Qi and Yu Meng had no reason to reject him.

After signing up, Yu Meng, Lewis, and the rest went back to their rooms to pack their luggage. On the other hand, Lin Qi was quite relaxed. He did not need to care about the bags and luggage. He had his own system, and all the ingredients were stored in the system storage.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Jin Lingling called out to him from behind.

“Master!”

Lin Qi had not noticed at first. When the voice called out to him three times, Lin Qi turned around curiously.

He saw Jin Lingling staring at him with her sharp eyes. Her eyes were bright as if flames were burning inside of her body.

“Master! Why are you in such a hurry?”

Lin Qi blinked and looked around in disbelief. Then, he pointed at his face and asked subconsciously, “You... Are you calling me?”

“That’s right. From today onward, you are my master!”

That sentence stunned Lin Qi. He scratched the back of his head and said, “Jin Lingling, how can I be your master? I don’t even know magic!”

Jin Lingling pouted her cherry lips, and her puffed-up face was a little cute. She put her hands on her hips and said, “I don’t care. I lost the last competition, so I decided to learn to cook from you!”

“Learn to cook?”

Lin Qi knew nothing about cooking. The reason why he could make all kinds of delicious food was because of his system. He did not know anything about real cooking.

Lin Qi said tactfully, “Well... You see, I’m not exactly a chef either. I’m just the young master of the Lin family. You’ve found the wrong person to take as your master. Moreover, I’m going to complete the trial now. I don’t have the time to mess with you!”

“I’ll go to the trial with you!”

As she said that, Lin Qi was extremely surprised. Looking at that little girl, why did she not seem to be afraid of death?

It was similar to when they were in the New Moon Forest. She actually dared to charge in the forest alone. Her courage was truly admirable.

Naturally, that little girl still did not understand the evils of the world. Bringing her along to experience it was actually a good thing.

“Even if you follow me, I have nothing to teach you!”

If he taught her the system’s recipes, then she would be able to personally cook the same delicious food as him. That would not do.

“Master, do you hate your disciple?”

Seeing how adamant Lin Qi was, Jin Lingling knew that if she could not use force, she would have to use a softer approach.

“Master...”

She called out to Lin Qi in a pitiful and sweet voice, which made him shiver.

‘Oh no, she’s trying to act cute to convince me. I didn’t expect to meet such an adorable little girl!’

Without a doubt, if she was brought along, she would definitely be a burden.

“Oh, are you really sure you want to follow me?”

“Really, really. As long as you’re there, I would go anywhere!”

Lin Qi was a little helpless because of her. Since she wanted to go so much, he would let her follow him.

Thus, he silently turned around and said, “Then you should pack up your luggage. We will set off soon!”

“Where are we going?”

“The southern grassland!”

In the southern grassland of Black Wind Castle, there was a barren field. There were many low-star demonic beasts there, and if they were lucky, they could even encounter a four-star devil beast.

As for Lin Qi and the others, they do not want to defeat a four-star devil beast, but to pass through the grassland and head to the mountain peak instead. That was the most dangerous place in the area of the Black Wind Castle.

“The southern plateau’s peak!”

There were actually five-star and above demonic beasts there. Many mages chose that place to challenge them, but many have lost their lives there as well. Therefore, the Black Wind Castle’s city lord had restricted that region.

Only swordmasters and archmages could enter that area. No one else was allowed to step foot there.

Of course, the situation was special due to the trial. Hence, the city lord had given his permission to let them enter. 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮

Lin Qi’s gaze returned to the hotel. He had been waiting at the entrance for a long time. He could not help but feel a little worried when he saw the participants returning with their luggage.

At that moment, a discordant voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

“Oh, I didn’t expect that a piece of trash like you would dare to stay and participate!”

Lin Qi did not turn his head. He waited for the person to rush up and shout at Lin Qi in anger, “I’m talking to you, can’t you hear me?”
