Chapter 229: The Singing Whale

“I guessed you would pass successfully, but I did not expect you to present the Peony Fish Fillet. It was a pleasant surprise.”

On their way back to the cruise ship, Zhou Qing wore a bright smile.

“I have a feeling that this Leaping Fish Banquet will be your moment to shine.”

“There’s still a lot for me to learn.” Qin Lang humbly smiled with a touch of embarrassment.

Zhou Qing didn’t respond, simply looking increasingly satisfied.

The car fell silent again. Qin Lang opened his cell phone to check the backend of his D Site account. Dan Bao and Spicy huddled close to him, trying their best to understand what was happening.

The magnate who had previously gifted him the Silver Treasure Box had done so again yesterday. This time, however, he received a Golden Treasure Box, a tier higher than the Silver Treasure Box.

It just so happened that Qin Lang hadn’t logged off immediately after uploading his content, and thus he witnessed his fan count skyrocketing at a terrifying speed.

Now, his fan count had already surpassed one million, and it wasn’t far from two million.

Seeing this growth, perhaps he could break two million in the next couple of days.

His previous three videos also experienced a surge in views, shares, and likes, especially the last one featuring the Peony Fish Fillet, which attracted countless onlookers.

Compared to the previous two dishes, the Peony Fish Fillet was undoubtedly more technically demanding.

Seeing how many fans were supporting him, Qin Lang felt touched. He wanted to formally thank the magnate by adding him as a friend, but it seemed the magnate wasn’t interested in making friends, so he let it be.

Currently, Qin Lang was looking at the comments on his latest video. He noticed that many comments in the barrage were concerned about whether he had passed Ms. Tang Mi’s test, which made him thoughtful.

When he had edited the video last night, Qin Lang had casually mentioned that the dish was related to Ms. Tang Mi’s test and that he would take the test today, so the fans’ curiosity was quite normal.

There were many enthusiastic fans who cared about this matter, and Qin Lang felt it was necessary to respond.

Of course, the main point was to share the joy of receiving the Flower Sea Badge.

“Come closer, Dan Bao, Spicy.” Qin Lang switched his phone to camera mode, pinned the Flower Sea Badge he had just received to the most visible part of his collar, and took a group photo with the two little ones.

After giving it a glance, he nodded in satisfaction, then posted a status on D Site.

[Traveler: Honored to have served. [Picture]]

Ignoring the growing number of likes, shares, and comments, Qin Lang closed D Site. By the time he lifted his head, he saw the nearby pier and the docked “Colorful” cruise ship.

As the vehicle came to a stop, Qin Lang and Zhou Qing picked up their luggage and, waiting to board the ship, queued at the end of the long line at the pier.

“Everyone please have your luggage ready and avoid crowding the pier…”

A somewhat familiar voice came from nearby, causing Qin Lang to instinctively look over.

It was…

“Miss Pei Yue?”

Hearing someone call her name, Pei Yue turned around. Seeing Qin Lang, she walked over hastily, a surprised expression on her face, “So you’re also a passenger on the ‘Colorful’.”

“Yes.” Qin Lang smiled, “I am heading to Jumping Fish Lake.”

“I heard there’s a big culinary festival about to start there.” Pei Yue said with a sudden realization, then gave a slight smile, “In that case, I wish you a smooth journey.”

“Thankyou, Miss Pei Yue.” Qin Lang thanked her, then asked curiously, “Why are you here? Is it related to yesterday’s incident?”

“No, the Star Gathering has been completely rounded up, and I just happened to be patrolling nearby.” Pei Yue explained, but a strange look flickered in her eyes.

Strictly speaking, the Star Gathering was not caught by them but by the Star Hunters…

If the Star Hunters hadn’t acted, the Star Gathering might have already boarded the ship and fled by the time they arrived.

But Star Hunters organization is a criminal group itself, and to top it off, it’s a world-class crime organization. The Association thanking them was out of the question.

However, there was no need to tell Qin Lang any of this.

The whole Star Gathering has been rounded up?

Qin Lang smiled at that.

That’s great news.

Thinking of how the Star Gathering had been conducting such dangerous experiments in the abandoned factory, disrupting the normal life of many citizens, he felt they absolutely deserved to be punished.

“Alright, I need to patrol the next area.” With duties to attend to, Pei Yue didn’t linger. After a brief chat, she waved goodbye to Qin Lang and left.

” What happened yesterday?” After Pei Yue had left, Zhou Qing, who had heard the two’s conversation, asked curiously.

“This is what happened…” Qin Lang, realizing the Association hadn’t asked him to keep it a secret, organized his thoughts and briefly explained yesterday’s incident to Zhou Qing.

“I never expected such a twist.” Zhou Qing was surprised that Qin Lang had experienced such an incident and still managed to complete the test successfully, but more than that he was glad, “It’s a good thing you’re alright. You need to be more cautious if you encounter similar situations in the future.”

“I will.” Qin Lang nodded seriously.

If he encountered unclaimed Star Power again in the future, he would report to the Association at the first opportunity!

I, Qin Lang, am an upstanding citizen!

As the queue ahead started moving, Zhou Qing and Qin Lang got their tickets checked and boarded the ship. They reunited with Li Hong, who had stayed on the ship and hadn’t come down.

“WOO–”

A long whistle echoed across the river, as the “Colorful” cruise ship set sail once again.

In the next three days, it would travel directly to the end of this journey­jumping Fish Lake—without stopping at any other point along the way.

When the “Colorful” cruise ship decelerated and docked at the shore again, the deck was already filled with passengers who had gathered their luggage and were preparing to disembark.

Standing among the crowd, Qin Lang moved his gaze from the approaching pier to the immense lake that stretched beyond sight, resembling a sapphire embedded in the ground.

From where he was standing, he could only see a small portion of the lake.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“So this is Jumping Fish Lake…” he couldn’t help but murmur.

“Yes.” Zhou Qing nodded slightly, “This is one of the three largest freshwater lakes in the Samiya region, Jumping Fish Lake.”

“It’s bigger than I imagined.” Qin Lang couldn’t help but marvel.

“There are twelve days left until the Leaping Fish Banquet starts. Since we’re here, you can take this opportunity to see the scenery of Mingjing Province. It’s quite different from Tianhua State.” Li Hong suggested with a smile.

“I will.” Qin Lang nodded earnestly, the two little animals by his side looking forward with eager anticipation.

“Look! It’s a silver carp!” Aery of surprise came from the crowd.

Qin Lang and the others followed the sound and happened to see a carp covered in silver scales leap from the lake surface, refracting dazzling rays in the sunlight.

“It seems this journey will go smoothly.” Li Hong smiled.

“Yeah!” Qin Lang disembarked along with the crowd, setting foot in Yue Hu City.

Mingjing Province, here I come!
