There were no culinary Oddities on Oddity Island, and Chen Lin felt this was an opportunity.
But he also understood.
With his current culinary skills, he might not succeed in establishing a new category.
Applying for a new category required not only passing the scrutiny of Old Servant Qi and his wife, but also a public announcement. Anyone else on the island capable of preparing delicacies would surely challenge him.
Preparing delicacies was not an especially difficult craft.
Once someone defeated him in a challenge, his Oddity Identity would pass to them, and winning it back would be difficult.
He had to settle everything in one decisive stroke.
"Father, I plan to explore the Nightmare Realm and see whether what Guo Tiezui said is true."
That day, Chen Ling'er came to Chen Lin and asked to enter the Nightmare Realm.
"Have you thought this through?"
Chen Lin asked for confirmation.
After Liu Yuanling returned, he and his master, Guo Tiezui, had visited Chen Lin once and traded for two of his larger abyss crystals.
Originally, he had not intended to offer any abyss crystals, but the payment was too tempting.
A portion of the soul ash Mingyue Shuanghua had once mentioned, along with an Eternal Grade Buddhist spiritual entity-both were useful to him, so he had agreed to the trade.
Besides the treasures.
Guo Tiezui had also shared some secrets of the Cultivation World, including a method for finding one's own Nightmare Realm Projection. It had been tested and was guaranteed to work.
Upon hearing about it, Chen Ling'er had immediately been eager to try.
"I have!"
Chen Ling'er answered solemnly.
Then she said seriously, "Only after seeing the experts on Oddity Island did I realize how insignificant I am. Unless I merge with my projection, I'll always be incomplete.
