Early morning.

The first morning in the City of Gastronomy.

Feeling the cloud-like soft texture beneath him, Kane fumbles to get up.

"Ding dong!"

What sound was that? It came from the living room outside, like a doorbell, but this room shouldn't have a doorbell, right?

Kane seemed to have not found any doorbell outside yesterday.

But he just woke up, so Kane went to the living room to check where the noise was coming from.

A rich fragrance entered Kane's nose.

This isn't right, Kane always likes to open his Eagle Eye and scan the surroundings when he wakes up, and just now he didn't see anyone in the living room; Kreya's magic power is still lying in her room.

Kane looked towards the place where the fragrance was coming from, only to see the dining table already filled with a sumptuous breakfast.

Less than half of the breakfast dishes were familiar to Kane; he had never seen the others.

But the fragrance continued to tell Kane about the delightful taste of these foods.

?

No way, how did these things get here?

Kane's mind was filled with confusion at this moment, Kreya and the others just heard the commotion in the living room and gradually dressed and came out of their rooms.

"Hmm, did you make this breakfast, Kane? It smells quite nice. Did you secretly learn a thing or two from Kreya?"

Looking at the breakfast on the dining table, smelling the aroma wafting by, Longbei looked at Kane standing beside the table and couldn't help but ask.

Kane turned around, staring at Longbei with tired, fish-like eyes.

"I didn't make it; it came after that noise. I don't know how it got here."

Upon hearing Kane's words, Lilu fluttered her wings and looked around the dining table, then floated up above the table, studying it carefully before flying out with a smug look and nodding.

She had already figured out why these foods appeared on the table, now just waiting for Kane and the others to ask.

Kreya and the others smiled at Lilu's demeanor and were about to ask questions.

"There should be a teleportation array on the table, directly sending the food onto it."

Upon hearing Kane's words, Lilu widened her eyes and suddenly flashed to his shoulder.

She couldn't help but pull Kane's ears, shouting, "Didn't you just say you didn't know? Are you tricking me?"

"I didn't know just now, but upon thinking about it, I remembered that yesterday when booking the room, I saw the pamphlet for our room, which mentioned something about breakfast provided. Next to breakfast, it also mentioned teleportation. I didn't pay attention then, but now it seems that's the case."

Upon hearing Kane's words, Lilu sighed, looking dejectedly and flew into Kreya's arms.

Kreya patted Lilu in her arms, then glared at Kane, who was smirking mischievously.

"Whatever, let's eat first, I'm a bit hungry." Longbei went straight to the table, picked up a piece of bread and started eating.

The group also stopped dragging it out and each sat at their place at the table and began eating.

Indeed, it is the City of Gastronomy; the quality of this breakfast is truly excellent.

It only falls a bit short of Kreya's skills, which is an absolutely high praise since being slightly inferior to Kreya's cooking means it's really good.

It's hard to resist the variety of breakfast; many items Kane and the others hadn't ever tried, quite novel.

Watching them, they ate heartily; tasting something for the first time usually feels delicious if it's good.

This breakfast was highly satisfying.

Having spent just half a day in the City of Gastronomy, their culinary cravings were well-satisfied.

Especially for Kane, who could say he thoroughly indulged.

After finishing the meal, Kane and the others went to the living room, taking out the Explorer's travel guide.

It marked routes for explorers within the City of Gastronomy and introduced the current dungeon exploration process.

Kane and the others had entered the membrane yesterday, which marked the beginning of exploration.

The dungeon's theme used to be something different, but it's now lost to history, not that anyone cares; now the theme has shifted to hunting.

Because this dungeon is privately owned, exploration isn't free and requires payment.

One Mist Council token per person.

This price is not cheap for copper-tier explorers; it's a substantial sum.

Of course, it's unlikely for copper-tier explorers to come to this dungeon, and even for silver-tier explorers, it's not cheap.

Moreover, the creatures and ingredients hunted in the dungeon, if not needed by the explorers, can be prioritized for purchase by the official side.

The pricing will definitely be at market rate, never below.

Despite these terms, the number of explorers coming to the dungeon is still countless; from looking out the window, one can see many explorers, armed and ready, starting their journey inside.

"1~3-star level tasks, difficulty suits copper-tier explorers; we can try them out first."

After a quick read, Kane suggested to his teammates.

Everyone had no objections and nodded.

After all, this Dungeon can be entered and exited anytime and anywhere, without restriction.

Since everyone here is an Explorer, there was nothing for Yoyo to hide, so it floated swaggeringly above Kane and the others, still attracting the attention of many Explorers.

But it didn't matter, even if Kane and the others came out alone, they would attract some attention. Here, there are quite a few Explorers who learned about Kane and the others through newspapers.

The reports on Kane and their achievements were so outrageous that many Explorers wondered if it was just hype. However, information from some official newspapers under the Mist Council was consistent, leaving them no choice but to believe.

Kane and the others arrived at the outermost area of this building complex, where there was a two-story small building.

"You all look unfamiliar, are you new Explorers?"

At the 1st floor reception, a female receptionist with three horns looked at Kane and the others and asked.

"Yes."

"Then, according to the Dungeon rules, you must accept hunting commissions starting from level one and move upward step by step. You cannot skip or take multiple commissions at once. Is that okay?"

What the receptionist said, Kane and the others had already understood, so they nodded without any objections.

"Okay, then each of you, draw your first hunting commission."

Hearing the receptionist's words, it seemed like another task testing luck. Kane and the others looked at each other, then collectively turned to Lilu.

"Lilu, you go draw it."

Hearing Kane's words, Lilu didn't hesitate and was excited: "Okay, okay, Lilu will draw."

Seeing Lilu fly over, the receptionist cheerfully took out a small box from the side.

This small box is a Dungeon's rule that has been materialized into an item, and no investigative measures can explore its contents.

Lilu had no intention to investigate. She simply reached her small hand in, shook it twice, and then drew out a numbered tag.

On the iron tag, a small star was marked, with the central number being 13.

"Then, little miss, please hand me your numbered tag."

"Sure, here you go."

After receiving the number in Lilu's hand, the receptionist inserted it into a cabinet behind, and finally, the cabinet ejected a hunting order with a parchment texture.

The hunting order was wrapped together, ejecting in a cylindrical shape.

The receptionist didn't open it and handed it directly back to Lilu.

"Now you can open it, and inside is your hunting target for this time."

Upon hearing her words, Lilu directly opened the wrapped parchment, and Kane and the others came over, curiously looking at the information on the parchment.

The characters on the parchment wrote the word 'hunting.'

Then, in the center, there was a drawing of the target Kane and the others had to hunt.

Strange Red Snake.

A slender red-skinned snake, its head in a bullet shape, but its tail is split into three thin lines.

After reading the information on the hunting order, the receptionist next to them began to explain the information to Kane and the others.

"The hunting mark here indicates that you can kill the prey but need to maintain the integrity of the corpse, not causing too much damage to avoid large-scale destruction of the corpse."

"The drawing below is the target you need to hunt."

After saying that, he began looking through his thick booklet, searching for a long time before handing an information sheet to Kane and the others.

The information recorded here details the habits and location of the Strange Red Snake.

After obtaining these items, Kane and the others could head out to hunt.

Beside the building, there are two exits, leading to areas with various strange plants and animals.

Kane looked at the Dungeon map in his hand, which appeared irregularly oblong in shape.

And the rest area they're in was located at the lower right corner at the bottom of the map.

Surrounding the resting area is a 2-kilometer safety zone. Once stepped out of this safety zone, one faces the real Dungeon.

Since they were unfamiliar with the terrain and geographical information of this Dungeon, Kane and the others didn't directly construct any vehicles for quick movement but chose to experience and feel it by walking, using their eyes, touch, and intuition.

However, their sense of smell was greatly affected.

This Dungeon was filled with fragrances everywhere, varying from strong to faint and in different varieties.

"Sugar Maple Tree."

Yoyo, operating a scanner, scanned a tree not far from Kane and the others and said that this small area was all covered with such trees.

After speaking, Yoyo projected the tree's information into the air for Kane and the others to view.

The leaves of this tree contain the sugars condensed from the entire tree's sap.

The tree's sap can be refined into a very palatable syrup, and the leaves can be eaten directly.

The components in the leaves include sugar syrup condensed from the tree's sap, making the leaves edible and delicious, with a light sweet taste that isn't cloying.
