Sid's persistence was genuinely unexpected.
But after thinking it over, Su Mo understood. He had a rough idea of the reason.
Based on the tests conducted over the past few days, the Chef Apprentice talent's flavor amplification ability had already produced a basic consensus.
This talent did not directly increase the original aroma by 25%.
Instead, it made people recall the most wonderful flavor in their memories, then added 25% of that flavor to the food.
Thus, the more delicious the food someone had eaten, the richer the flavor they recalled would be.
The reactions of the people from the Red Spider Merchant Group made this obvious.
"Whether he's willing or not, I don't think this is what we came here to discuss today, is it?"
"Sorry, I was presumptuous."
Sid humbly shook his head, then stood and bowed slightly. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jasper Sider. I'm the Western District Minister under the External Relations Department of Qinggang Shelter. This is my assistant, Paine."
"Welcome to Tian Yuan Shelter, Minister Sider."
Su Mo stood up. The two shook hands with their right hands, then sat down at the same time.
"The main purpose of our visit today is actually quite simple. First, we wanted to deliver Mr. Su Mo an invitation from Qinggang Shelter, inviting you and all the large Gathering Places in the surrounding area to attend the Expedition Conference being held three days from now. Second, we'd like to learn more about the true situation of this world from you. After all, in terms of timing, we're newcomers."
"An Expedition Conference?"
What the hell is that? Faced with this question, Sid began answering in detail without sparing his breath.
After hearing his explanation, Su Mo realized that it had all been a false alarm.
