Inside Xia's Restaurant, lounge.
Xia stood blankly by the door, watching Su Xiao, Bubu Wang, A' Mu, Baja, and Benny set up various devices. The precise yet enormous equipment only left her more confused. Weren't they going to the Gluttonous Castle in the Land of the Netherworld for a dinner party? Then, by tasting the food, reverse-engineer the recipes?
"Where are we going?"
Xia asked in confusion. Since Su Xiao was calibrating the precision equipment and she couldn't understand Bubu Wang's dog language, only Baja could answer. "To attend a dinner party, of course. By the way, why are you wearing a formal dress?"
"If I'm attending a dinner party, shouldn't I wear a formal dress?"
Xia grew even more confused. Baja wore a wicked grin. "Xia, if you only rely on tasting, how confident are you that you can reverse-engineer Madam Duchess's strongest recipe?"
The Madam Duchess Baja mentioned was actually the owner of the Gluttonous Castle. Her husband, the Duke of Gluttony, had long since been killed by her.
"Maybe ten percent?"
Xia was somewhat uncertain. In truth, she was underestimating herself. Having cooked all kinds of high-grade ingredients, she had at least a twenty-percent chance of deducing eighty percent of the recipe for that delicacy.
"So we need to use another method. If you could personally watch Madam Duchess cook, how confident would you be in obtaining the recipe?"
"Then there shouldn't be a problem. But how am I supposed to watch the castle lord's wife cook? With a delicacy of that level, Madam Duchess will definitely keep the process as secret as possible."
"You don't need to worry about that. We're professionals. Put this on your eyeballs."
Baja tossed over a small box. When Xia opened it, she found two pieces resembling colored contact lenses. After
