The general manager couldn't stand Zhang Xing anymore. He clutched his chest and stumbled into the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened!"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Is the sky falling?"
"No … No, it's Zhang Xing!"
The general manager stuttered. The more anxious he was, the more clumsy he became.
"What's wrong with Zhang Xing?
Aren't you accompanying him to pick out the items? "
Emperor Keith said coldly.
"Zhang Xing, he …"
When Emperor Keith heard the report, he almost fainted from anger.
You're too unscrupulous!
I'll fulfill my promise and generously let you do as you wish. After all, we've just started working together.
You didn't help me get first place. How can you take so much? How can you be so thick-skinned?
No, I have to stop him. Just as he was about to stand up, he heard footsteps outside and Zhang Xing humming an infuriating tune.
"Haha!
Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty. Don't worry, I'll do my best. "
F * ck!
If I don't give you some tribute, you won't do anything!
I … I'm really blind. I was deceived by your appearance. Why did I choose to work with a scoundrel?
The next morning, Emperor Keith led 20 Battle Monarchs and 20 Grand Magi, as well as Zhang Xing and the five dragons to the second-tier empire, Golden Fragrance.
They happened to pass by the Golden Fragrance Empire on the way to the Light Temple. The test was only a day long, so it wouldn't take long. They could solve the problem along the way and get the benefits. There was no reason to refuse.
If it was the other way around, Zhang Xing would definitely not agree. Being promoted to a second-tier empire had nothing to do with him. Even if there were so many benefits, he didn't have to accept it.
After a week's long journey, they arrived at the capital of the Golden Fragrance Empire, Golden Fragrance City.
After settling down, they rested for two days before starting the official test.
That night, Emperor Keith warned them not to go out. This was a second-tier empire. They couldn't afford to offend any of the forces in the imperial capital. They shouldn't look for trouble.
"What trouble can there be?"
"This place is definitely more prosperous than the Star Empire, especially at night. We have to take a stroll!"
Zhang Xing led the five dragons on the street.
The first thing was to eat. When traveling, other than eating, it was to have fun. They wanted to taste the local delicacies and see the beautiful mountains and rivers!
In fact, a second-tier country didn't seem to be very prosperous. The buildings in the capital were similar, and there were only a few streets in the prosperous areas.
It was just for a sense of novelty.
At the corner of the street, a bright red charcoal fire was flickering. A Rank 3 Demonic Deer was roasting on the fire until it was golden yellow.
There were a few tables and chairs nearby, and a few people were drinking while waiting.
"This is the more famous charcoal roasted demonic deer. Let's go and have a taste."
Along the way, Zhang Xing listened to the Battle Kings introduce many of Golden Fragrance City's famous dishes. Among them, this was the best barbecued dish.
Some nobles would invite the King of Charcoal to barbecue whenever they held an event.
No matter how hard others tried to learn, they just couldn't get that kind of addictive scent.
Therefore, after a long time, everyone called this person the King of Charcoal Roasts. Not many people knew his real name.
After sitting down, Zhang Xing ordered a lot of roast meat.
When the King of Charcoal Roasts saw that it was a big business, he was so happy that his hands and feet became more nimble.
In less than five minutes, a hundred demonic deer meat skewered with bamboo skewers were served.
It was the same as the barbecue on Earth, but the meat was five to six times bigger.
He picked up the skewer and smelled it. He frowned.
There was the smell of cherry rice.
Cherry rice was a type of poison. When used alone, it would make people indulge in the fragrance and become addicted.
Adding a few other poisons would cause people to hallucinate.
