Chapter 1908: Delicacies Are Hard To Find

Mylo, a food critic from Perfect Food, became notorious within the food and beverages industry for his sarcastic writing.
A saying in Rodu’s food and beverages industry went like this: beware of fire, beware of burglars, beware of Mylo!
It was said that there were even restaurants that had their reputation tarnished by Mylo. There were even those that had privately raised funds to hire an assassin to cut off Mylo’s writing hand.
Such news had been circulating in Rodu’s gourmet circle. This had caused Mylo to always dress himself up unusually whenever he left his house.
However, his frame was too eye-catching, and his purposeful dressing made him easy to notice.
Thankfully, although he had been assailed by rotten eggs a few times, he still had not met the assassin that was coming for his hand.
Mylo’s articles had a clear stand, and that was to use the strictest attitude to rate a restaurant. It was not criticism for the sake of criticism. Therefore, he had gained quite a lot of fans. His column was also the most popular column in Perfect Food. Many chowhounds even used his column as a guide to avoiding pitfalls.
Rodu was known as the city of delicacies with the highest number of restaurants on the Norland Continent. Their development in delicacies was not something the other races could compare to.
As for Chaos City, it was not even too much to say that Chaos City was the death town of delicacies.
For a city that had only flourished for 100 years made up of people from all races who had brought their specialty foods with them, this meant that none of the core cuisines had been brought over.
Actually, Mylo had been to Chaos City 10 years ago. However, the restaurants here were really a disappointment. He almost had no will to even lift his pen. Therefore, even Garlan felt that Mylo had never been to Chaos City.
This time, Mylo returned to Chaos City because of this rising star in the gourmet circle—Mamy Restaurant.
He had seen some of the articles in Meatatarianism and Vegetarianism. Derrick and Randy rose to popularity because they wrote about Mamy Restaurant. They became the highest-paid food critics overnight.
Mylo was not jealous. He just did not like how they idealized and magicalized their description of Mamy Restaurant with their words. As for the food, he would not believe that food as delicious as they described would exist in this world.
A lotus would not suddenly bloom in a death town. Mylo stood by his beliefs. Therefore, he came this time to expose Mamy Restaurant.
Meatatarianism and Vegetarianism were incorrigible. They were very influential magazines. If they were to cheat people into traveling all the way to Chaos City, only to leave them disappointed, that would be terrible.
Mylo looked around. The restaurant door was shut tightly, but a line had already formed long ago. Such scenes were rare even in Rodu. This would only happen when famous restaurants had sales going on.
Are these actors? Mylo observed the people in the line carefully.
Finding actors to build the atmosphere, and therefore attract unknowing customers were no new tactics. He had exposed many businesses which did that, causing such evil practices to die down.
However, after close observation, Mylo was even more puzzled.
The actors for restaurants would usually be poor people, and he would be able to tell from their clothing. Even if the businesses gave them clothes to wear, a person’s aura could not be concealed by their clothes.
It was said that Mamy Restaurant had an expensive menu, and their main target audience was high-end customers.
From the looks of these customers in the line, be it their clothing or their aura, it did seem like they were this group of people.
After that, he listened closely to their conversation. Some of them were just engaged in small talk, but most of them were talking about delicacies, mostly from Mamy Restaurant.
“Hey, have you tried the Mapo Tofu newly launched by Boss Mag?”
“I didn’t get to try it in the afternoon. What did it taste like? Is there really Mapo inside?”
“I didn’t see Mapo, but the taste… tsk, tsk. Forget it. You should try it for yourself later on. I think I can’t describe its goodness with my limited vocabulary. In any case, it’s the best dish to go with rice.”
“Tofu pudding, of course you have to eat the sweet one…”

Such a lively atmosphere made Mylo blank out for a while.
For a food lover, this would probably be the ideal atmosphere.
On top of that, the line was very orderly, and there was a comfortable distance between everyone. This made conversing even more comfortable.
“These people aren’t actors,” Mylo told Garlan softly.
“I can tell. Rich people would never line up for so long for peanuts. Neither would they be involved in such a fervent discussion with others.” Garlan nodded. He had a complicated expression. This appeared to be quite different from what they expected.
“Let me try to sound them out,” Mylo said softly. After that, he looked at a tall and skinny youngster standing beside him. He had a pair of faint dark eye circles, and looked rather exhausted. However, he did appear to be rather friendly. Smiling, Mylo asked the youngster, “Bro, could I ask you something?”
Randy yawned. When he heard what Mylo said, he turned and looked at him. He quickly sized Mylo up, and thought, Such a tall person is not common at all. However, Randy had always loved making friends. He nodded with a smile, and said, “Please ask. From your accent, you don’t sound local at all.”
“We are traders from Rodu, and saw that so many people were lining up here, so we joined the crowd.” Mylo nodded. Seeing that Randy was rather friendly, he relaxed a little, and continued, “I would just like to ask if this restaurant really has delicious food. We are in a rush, and would not like to waste too much time.”
“If you’re talking about delicious food, you’re at the right place.” Randy smiled. He said excitedly, “This Mamy Restaurant is the best restaurant in Chaos City. It’s not even too much to call it the best restaurant on the Norland Continent! Here, you can try delicacies you would not be able to get anywhere else, because every dish on their menu was invented by Boss Mag. You might have to line up for a long time, but it’s very worth it.”
Mylo was stunned by what Randy said. He didn’t expect that a random stranger that he found randomly would just start throwing compliments about Mamy Restaurant. This made him question his original judgment. He hesitated, and questioned, “Is it really that good?”
Judging from Randy’s clothing, he should be a youngster who needed not worry about work. Besides, he seemed rather passionate. That made him more believable as one could tell that he really liked the restaurant.
“Let me put it this way for you. I’ve been to many places on the Norland Continent, and have tried countless restaurants, big and small. However, none of them could keep bringing something novel out like Mamy Restaurant. It even made me willing to stay here just for the launch of the next dish.
“You might find it difficult to understand how difficult it is to find something really delicious. However, if you stick with Mamy Restaurant, once Boss Mag releases a new product, that would be the top-class delicacy you’ve been searching long and hard for,” Randy said seriously.
