Inside the tall, slender wooden house on the plain.
Kane and Longbei were resting in the living room, with a brewed drink placed beside them.
Meizike was adjusting the potion in his hand nearby.
Ever since he obtained the powerful medicine, he had been researching permanent enhancing potions, but had not achieved much success.
There was no finished product truly worth presenting.
Kreya was softly humming an unknown tune in the kitchen, her elegant and melodious voice reached the living room. Kane gently swayed his head to the melody, took a sip from the goose-shaped teacup nearby, and continued reading the book in his hand.
At this moment, he seemed to notice something and looked towards the door.
Lilu had unexpectedly brought over the three explorers she just met, apparently intending to invite them as guests.
Despite being innocent and filled with childlike wonder, Lilu was not a fool. On the contrary, she never messed up serious matters, displaying a maturity that didn't match her usual demeanor.
So by bringing this group over as guests, it meant she had confirmed that this group was harmless.
Could Lilu's observation and her skill of discerning the good and evil of intelligent life be fooled? Of course it could.
In such a vast and power-filled, bizarre world, how could there be no methods of concealment?
However, the group's strength was evidently weaker than Lilu's, though Kane wasn't referring to their displayed total magic power.
If they were weaker than Lilu yet could deceive her, it wasn't impossible, just a very tiny chance, not worth excessive worry over such a small probability.
Not to mention Lilu's race, truly favored by the mist.
The so-called Angel Race sounds highbrow, but in this world, before Lilu's race, they are not even comparable.
This is the world's beloved.
Hence, in these matters, Kane unconditionally trusts Lilu, as this is the responsibility one should have as a comrade.
As Lilu was about to lead the three closer to the wooden house, Kane controlled the wooden door to open directly, indicating welcome.
Kane was vigilant towards this group, and this group was equally vigilant towards Kane and them.
What eased their vigilance was also Lilu; they recognized Lilu's race and chose to trust Kane and them, attempting contact.
This is the race's inherent affinity with other groups.
"Come in quickly, our house is quite interesting." Lilu was inviting Funa and her group inside.
Upon entering, the two little angels behind Funa followed Lilu and started looking around the room.
Funa, however, said to Kane, "Sorry for the sudden disturbance."
"No problem at all, you are very welcome, please come this way and sit." With that, Kane stood up and led them to sit beside the sofa in the center of the living room.
During this process, Funa was still observing the little wooden house, which made her a bit amazed, as she found the interior and exterior of the house very livable, not seeming like a temporary setup.
She was curious as to how Kane and they managed to complete such a large amount of work in such a short period of time.
Kane had just seated them and hadn't begun introductions or self-presentation.
The aroma drifting from the kitchen reached the living room.
This fragrance instantly attracted the attention of Funa and her group of three. Funa turned her head and asked Kane, "Could it be that your team has a chef cooking there? Could we go take a look?"
Though the sudden display from the trio left Kane a bit dumbfounded, he still replied politely, "Of course."
Subsequently, Lilu eagerly led the three to the kitchen, while Kane returned to his previous seat, looking in the direction of the kitchen.
The kitchen had a wall, half of which was transparent, allowing them to see some movements near the front door area of the kitchen.
Upon entering, they saw Kreya charcoal-grilling one of the three gazelles they took down yesterday.
The trio's intrusion also left Kreya a bit bewildered, but then she realized, and with Lilu's mediation, began communicating with them.
From Kreya's increasingly excited expression, it seemed their conversation mostly revolved around culinary skills.
Soon after, Kane saw the three, including the two little angels, directly standing in the kitchen with Kreya and getting hands-on together.
?
Indeed, anyone who could come to this place and explore the dungeon had some love for delicious food, perhaps not everyone, but definitely someone in the team.
And this trio's team had reached the level where everyone shared this interest.
Kane truly wondered whether the trio's team was directly named the Gourmet Squad or the Chef Squad.
However, seeing their smooth and harmonious communication, Kane stopped watching and returned to his own tasks.
Before long, the people in the kitchen each brought a dish to the dining table in the dining room, placing the meals on it.
Due to this dining table, Kane hadn't considered having guests, so it was designed according to their team's specifications. Now with guests, Kane naturally had to make some adjustments, but it wasn't anything difficult, just a simple wave of his hand.
Then Funa looked at the table, somewhat puzzled, was this table that big just now?
She wondered if she had seen it wrong.
Today's dining table, besides the roast lamb, also had three different dishes that Kreya had never prepared, and Kane's team had never tasted.
No need to guess, these three dishes were probably the works of Funa's team members.
Once all the dishes were served, everyone sat at the table joyfully.
At this point, Funa stood up and spoke.
"Come to think of it, we haven't introduced ourselves yet, which is quite rude. My name is Funa, Funa Skat."
Then she pointed to the boy angel beside her: "This is my teammate, Rui, Rui Chuchen."
"Hello everyone, I am Rui from the Angel Race." After speaking, he waved to Kane and his team.
"This is also my teammate, Rui's sister. They are siblings, Xi, Xi Chuchen." Funa pointed to the girl angel on the other side.
"My name is Xi, pleased to meet you."
After hearing their introductions, Kane's team started sharing their names as well, making acquaintance with each other.
"Sorry, seeing your well-equipped kitchen, I couldn't resist but prepared a few dishes."
"No need for apologies, after all, we are the tasters, the beneficiaries, aren't we? We should be thankful for your willingness to show your culinary skills."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone began to pick up their utensils and taste the delicious food on the table.
Kane habitually assessed each dish, finding that the food made by these three had reached the Copper grade and seemed to be from the same series of dishes, respectively enhancing strength, constitution, and agility.
And according to the explanation, these three dishes had reached a perfect level, indicating these were their signature dishes, showing their culinary skills were quite high.
Chefs capable of creating Copper-grade meals are very rare in the outside world and can only be commonly found in the City of Gastronomy.
As the meal commenced, it was apparent that the previously courteous guests began to become more familiar, being food enthusiasts, the bonds quickly strengthened over the dining table.
Funa and Kreya sat together, chatting while eating, comprehensively discussing various ingredients and culinary skills, from their conversation depth it was clear how invested they were.
Lilulu, on the other hand, was sharing her desserts with Xi, asking Xi to provide critiques from a professional perspective.
These desserts were made together by Lilulu and Kreya yesterday, though Lilulu was mainly helping and creating a bit of chaos.
"Watch me demonstrate a flying leap." Rui said on the other side, then suddenly leapt from his chair, flapped his wings, aiming for the ceiling, and then started to dive down.
Thankfully Longbei quickly caught him.
Looking at the child's flushed face, Kane had just seen Longbei sharing two glasses of wine with the kid, but adhering to the principle of not judging by appearance, Kane didn't intervene.
In this world full of timeless beings, what looks like a child could, in fact, be old enough to be an ancestor.
Seeing her brother's foolish act, his sister helplessly covered her eyes, shook her head, then turned away as if she hadn't seen anything, continuing her chat with Lilulu.
However, the commotion caught the attention of the happily chatting duo, Kreya and Funa.
Seeing the little angel's antics, Kreya realized it was probably Longbei's doing.
Helplessly she massaged her forehead.
About to reprimand Longbei for giving alcohol to a child, unexpectedly Funa tugged at her side.
"Don't mind him, although he looks like a child, he's actually a few hundred years old, just not very good with alcohol, it's a common occurrence."
Upon hearing Funa's words, Kreya came to her senses; indeed, the Angel Race's lifespan is extraordinarily long, even though Rui seems like a child, his age is likely well over 100 years, fooled solely by appearances and worrying unnecessarily.
Then she turned back to continue her conversation with Funa about culinary arts.
And Rui didn't disappoint, immediately started competing with Longbei for drinks, looking every bit the wine-lover.
It was surprising to find that the two little angels, who appeared like children, were actually hundreds of years old, older than anyone present.
These two angels were newly born in their own race group, truly just adolescents.
But because angels are truly timeless beings, even as teenagers, they are capable of venturing into the external world.
Timeless beings are races that almost never lose lives due to the passage of time.
Such races having such vitality also means their numbers are extremely scarce, making newborns rare.
This world doesn't have many such races, but there are a few.
After a hearty meal and pleasant conversation, Funa and her team bid farewell and left the wooden house.
Lilulu courteously escorted them to the door.
