VCRMM: Chapter 335

Giles saw that his friend was convinced by him and smiled. Then he took out a pack of compressed biscuits. As he ate it, he looked at the compass that Finn had just studied and asked, “What is this?”

Finn shrugged and put the compass back on the ground. He didn’t know what device was triggered, but the compass floated in the air again and started to patrol the room.

He said, “It looks like a sweeping robot.”

“I’ve never seen this model before,” Giles complained. However, he didn’t take it seriously and talked about other things.

“That Marshal Si Sheng should be the Guardian,” Giles said. “From the reactions of the people who received us and the guards, this Guardian is treated very highly in the Roland Empire.”

“I can see that when the Roland people talk about him, it is like they are discussing a hero or a god.”

Due to the law implemented by Xu Sili that required people to learn the universal language, a considerable number of people in the Roland Empire had already mastered a certain amount of vocabulary of the universal language.

They spoke poorly, but they were barely able to communicate. In addition, the personnel assigned to receive the foreign envoys naturally had a good command of the language.

Therefore, Giles had no difficulty in finding out information.

“Si Sheng has extraordinary prestige in the Roland Empire and even the title of patron saint.”

Giles continued, “The environment here is harsh and backward, but I’m afraid Si Sheng isn’t so highly respected by the people just because he is powerful.”

In fact, based on Si Sheng’s nickname on the Star Network, his loyalty to the Roland Empire could be seen.

Giles obviously wasn’t as optimistic as other members of the delegation about winning over this strong man.

Finn’s expression became a bit serious, but quickly comforted him. “Our main task is still the mecha competition.”

“Whether we can persuade the Guardian to leave the Roland Empire or not is just a side issue. There is no need to worry too much about it.”

Finn looked worried when it came to the mecha competition.

After half a month of discussion, the headquarters finally decided to hold the competition as originally planned. They just changed the format from a live broadcast to a recorded broadcast.

The matches wouldn’t be broadcast live, but would be filmed as video footage and sent back to the Interstellar Alliance’s headquarters, where it would be edited and reviewed by a dedicated person before being broadcast.

The alliance meant that it was okay to lose, but they couldn’t lose too badly. At the very least, the performance of the mechas should be demonstrated, and it was best to leave some highlight moments that were easier to edit.

However, the mecha masters were completely shocked by Si Sheng’s sword and could only smile bitterly when they received the news.

They still had some room to maneuver if they fought as a group. However, if they attacked one by one, wouldn’t it be like sending food to the enemy? Wouldn’t Marshal Si Sheng defeat them all with one sword?

Finn couldn’t help looking bitter when he thought of the words sent back by the Roland Empire: The Guardian can’t operate a mecha. He can only dismantle them.

This person was telling the truth, but they rushed to deliver food…

Alas!

The first and second best fighters among the mecha masters sat in the room and munched on dry food in silence.

This dry food might not be very delicious, but it was still edible.

“It would be nice to have a cup of the Fox House’s milk tea…” Giles muttered suddenly.

Finn paused.

He raised his head stiffly, looked at his friend and said, “Giles, the Fox House… If I remember correctly, it seems to be the Guardian’s property, right?”

Giles thought about it and nodded. “It seems to be the case.”

Seeing Finn’s hesitant expression, Giles waved his and.

“The Fox House sells virtual products. The taste of virtual products is difficult to restore in reality.”

“In a nation like this with scarce resources and living under the shadow of strange beasts all day, do you expect them to have the time and energy to study food?”

They weren’t unprepared before they came.

What’s more, the interstellar travel lasted nearly two months. Reading the background information of the Roland Empire could help kill some boring time.

According to the latest data, the Roland Empire was still in danger two years ago and was on the verge of extinction at any time, with only five main cities left to support the entire empire.

All of this was clearly stated in the aid application.

In just two years, perhaps the new emperor and guardian of the Roland Empire were able to protect the empire and get everything back on track.

However, Giles believed that some things needed background and environment to be passed on, such as food. The Roland Empire obviously didn’t have these conditions.

Finn was convinced by him.

Thus, he continued to eat the food Giles had taken out.

As a mecha pilot, his physical and mental strength had reached SS. The energy consumed every day was considerable.

He didn’t know how long the banquet tonight would last and he didn’t want to go hungry.

Giles also published his theory in the delegation’s communication group.

The others said… it made sense!

Of course, the people in the group were basically those who were close to Giles. Those who had an average relationship with him weren’t among them… such as Adrian.

Even a blind man could see that Adrian was partial to the Roland Empire, and Giles was too lazy to argue with him.

After all, facts spoke louder than words.

Giles’ confidence also infected Finn. He originally just wanted to fill his stomach a bit, but accidentally… ate too much.

Well, if he ate too much then he ate too much. It didn’t matter.

However, Finn suddenly had a bad premonition when he arrived at the magnificent banquet hall of the Roland Empire’s palace and was led by the maids to sit in the designated seat.

The palace of the Roland Empire didn’t give him the impression that it was very poor…

There still weren’t many high-tech things, but many new things did give him a feeling of the heavy historical heritage that Adrian mentioned.

Then the maids came in one after another, placing plates of exquisite dishes on the dining table and filling the air with the tempting aroma of various foods. This caused Finn’s expression to finally change.

There were many other people whose expressions changed like his.

Obviously, there were quite a few people who listened to Giles and ate something to fill their stomachs.

At this moment, looking at the whole table of delicious food in front of them and smelling the various unfamiliar but mouth-watering aromas in the air, they couldn’t help gulping.

Only…

Finn touched his stomach, which was already eight-tenths full. Then at an angle no one else could see, he couldn’t help glaring at Giles.

Giles was also embarrassed.

However, he quickly gave his friend a look that urged him to stay calm.

These dishes… maybe they just looked good?

It had to be known that in nature, the more beautiful something was, the more dangerous it was.

What’s more, some of these dishes had strange shapes and colors that didn’t look very delicious.

The moment the silver-haired man at the top raised his glass to toast everyone, Giles also picked up the glass and took a sip in a perfunctory manner. Then he found out…

This wine was good!

His eyes lit up slightly. He couldn’t help taking a few more sips, but in the face of his good friend Finn’s resentful eyes, Giles still restrained himself.

He put down his wine glass with great difficulty. Then he reached out for the dish with an unattractive color that he had been eyeing from the beginning.

This was a dish of braised meat.

For first-time eaters, the appearance of the braised meat really wasn’t good.

Giles also heard the maid say that this was some type of animal offal. In order to prove to Finn that the food of the Roland Empire was all dark cuisine, he endured the nausea and picked up a piece.

This was a piece of duck gizzard. It was obvious just by looking at the color that it was well-marinated.

Giles cut off a small piece with his knife and fork, trying to overcome his psychological barrier to put the small piece of duck gizzard in his mouth.

Originally, he thought he would vomit.

However, after it entered his mouth, he found that he didn’t feel any discomfort. The marinade was salty and fragrant with a slightly spicy taste. The braised duck gizzard was firm in texture and had a wonderful crispy and tender feeling when chewed.

After swallowing it, Giles couldn’t wait to cut off the second piece and the third piece… Finally, he finished the entire braised duck gizzards.

The moment he wanted to continue eating, he felt a strong gaze beside him, no… it should be many gazes.

The teammates who came here after eating due to his persuasion were all shooting death rays at him.

Giles was so uncomfortable that he wanted to put down his cutlery and say that he didn’t want to eat anymore, but…

He was too curious about what the other things tasted like!

If animal offal could be cooked so deliciously, what about other foods that looked very exquisite?

Finally, his nature as a foodie made him continue eating despite the burning eyes of the others.

Pickled fish, braised beef in soy sauce, braised pig’s trotters, kung pao chicken, white cut chicken, braised pork, spicy fried large intestines… These dishes were things he had never eaten before, and they really satisfied his taste buds.

However, his stomach protested after only a few bites.

Finn was around eight-tenths full while he was at least nine-tenths full. So even though he only took one bite of a dish, Giles gradually discovered…

He couldn’t eat any longer!

The most painful thing in the world was to have a table full of delicious food in front of him, but to have no appetite to eat due to eating a lot of junk food!

At this time, he heard the silver-haired young man at the table say, “I hope you will eat as much as you want. Don’t be polite. Some of these dishes are very complicated to prepare and usually aren’t available.”

In other words, they might never have it again if they missed this meal!

Giles felt like crying but had no tears. He felt like he was regretting it to death.

But he really couldn’t figure out why there were so many delicious dishes in the Roland Empire! This was unscientific!
