Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

Chen Qi took out the ingredients and said,

"The shop has just opened, and although there aren\'t many ingredients, the taste is still acceptable, and I can make dishes with chili peppers."

"Oh, you have that flavor too!"

Perlu\'s eyes sparkled instantly; she loved spicy food, the thrill!

"Everything in your fridge, as long as it has chili peppers, I want it all!

Also, bring four raw fish; my pet needs to eat."

"Pet?"

"Yes, and my little white dove!"

Saying this, Perlu walked to the side of the boat, bent down, and reached into the water.

With a splash, she pulled a one-meter-tall pigeon from the seawater.

This wasn\'t an illusion or a case of objects appearing larger up close; it was genuinely a very large pigeon!

The splashing sound just now had been made by this pigeon.

A light flickered in Chen Qi\'s eyes; his main account before crossing over was as a Pet Beast Trainer in the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom.

He knew a vast amount of information about pet beasts and could be considered a human-shaped pet encyclopedia.

Traveling pigeon, a traveling-class exotic beast capable of carrying people during flight, with a strong sense of direction and stamina, is a pet worth at least ten million Shell Coins.

Those who could afford the traveling pigeon were all wealthy individuals.

Chen Qi picked up four raw fish and held them in front of the great white pigeon:

"A raw fish for fifty Shell Coins, a total of two hundred."

The hungry great white pigeon, teary-eyed, ate the fish.

In Maro Town, selling a raw fish for twenty Shell Coins was already considered expensive.

Hearing this price, Perlu\'s eyes sparkled once more as she crossed her arms and said:

"That\'s way too cheap!

A conscience, boss, feed my little white dove two more, never mind, it should have had enough, and it\'s too fat now, just fry me two instead!"

The white dove let out a cry of sorrow, feeling that its owner still hadn\'t understood why it fell into the water.

A conscience? Chen Qi was a bit surprised; his price was double the market rate.

The restaurant at sea was just like those at tourist spots, often a bit pricier.

But judging from Perlu\'s tone, he had still set his prices too low.

Chen Qi decisively took out more ingredients from the fridge.

He was a chef, after all, and had used the rare "Devil Pepper" spice, so setting the prices a little higher shouldn\'t be a problem.

So he set dishes, which cost under twenty to make, at over one hundred each!

Perlu sat down on a dining chair, touched her nose, and waved her hand:

"The dishes in your little fridge, use your best spices and best cooking skills, I want them all!!"

"No problem."

Soon, a few fragrant dishes were served.

As Chen Qi cooked, he casually chatted with Perlu.

He wanted to gather some information about Moonstone City through Perlu.

However, as someone who talked non-stop, she didn\'t give him a chance to interject.

She soon wore a mysterious expression:

"Boss, you\'re in luck today!"

"?"

Perlu was a person with a strong desire to share.

To extract information from Perlu\'s mouth, you hardly needed to ask deliberately.

She would spill the information herself.

Perlu casually picked up a bottle of wine from the table, drank from it, and excitedly said:

"Meeting me today means, you\'ll know the big news from the White Dove Newspaper tomorrow before anyone else in the Witch Sea!"

"What\'s the big news?"

She immediately said:

"The Flower Witch and the news about the Black Whale Group!"

"Oh."

Chen Qi quietly cooked.

Although she was a well-known journalist, the information he knew about these two matters might not be less than what this journalist knew.

"Why does it feel so perfunctory?" Perl looked at Chen Qi, seeing that he was someone with strict demands on the explosiveness of news.

But that didn\'t matter, the information she was about to share would shock this small business owner!

"Ah, about to gain another fan," Perl raised her head slightly at thirty degrees and then angled her face slightly:

"Hmph, boss, what I\'m about to tell you is top-secret news."

The Black Whale Group and the Blood Blade Pirate Group are both chasing the treasure of the Deep Sea Hunter!

Based on the information I\'ve gathered so far, this treasure hunt isn\'t just a rumor—the treasure of the Deep Sea Hunter really exists!"

"This is something I obtained at the risk of my life."

"Oh."

Chen Qi continued cooking, replying noncommittally.

Damn, can\'t this even shock you!

It seemed that this small business owner didn\'t care about the treasures of the high seas... Perl coughed twice, preparing to casually drop another bombshell:

"Did you know, just yesterday, on a cruise ship, there was a sighting of the Flower Witch, and according to the intelligence I\'ve gathered, the Black Whale Group is tracking not only the treasure of the Deep Sea Hunter but also the Witch!"

"Hmm?"

Chen Qi\'s tone changed slightly.

At last, some useful information—the Flower Witch knew the secrets of the Witch Sea and was thus a target of many powers in the game.

The Black Whale Group tracking the Flower Witch so early was indeed something he hadn\'t known.

But that was it.

Seeing Chen Qi\'s tepid response, Perl felt a bit frustrated, but then quickly assumed a mysterious expression:

"Boss, do you know what I\'m going to do next?"

She was not only good at leaking others\' information but also her own.

"What?"

Chen Qi asked, finding her more talkative than he had imagined.

Perl smiled slightly:

"I\'ve decided to track down the Black-eyed Captain and the calamity-symbolizing Raven Ship Doctor of the Sawshark from the Black Whale Group and interview them to uncover the treasure of the Deep Sea Hunter!"

Her original plan was to have a meal back in Moonstone City, but the White Dove Newspaper\'s intelligence network had spotted the Sawshark.

Daring indeed—for a pirate ship to come near the waters near their Moonstone City!

She made a quick decision, skipping her meal to track down the Sawshark.

Once she got the secret of the Black Whale Group from them, she would definitely shock him, shock the seas!

Perl\'s imagination was quite vivid; she could already picture Chen Qi conceding to her personal charm, then offering her \'lifetime free meals\'.

"That is certainly fresh news."

Chen Qi said.

The Sawshark was chasing him, and the reporter lady was chasing the Sawshark.

If the Black-eyed Captain and the little Crow got tangled up with this trouble-making reporter, they might temporarily set aside their plans to find him.

It was good news, and Chen Qi continued serving food.

In the course of their cheerful conversation, the ravenous Perl had already devoured an entire table\'s worth of dishes.

Her appetite could match that of two grown men.

After eating, she had shaken off her drenched appearance and was brimming with energy again.

"Delicious! Delicious!"

Perl lay back in her chair, patting her stomach, showing an expression of pleasure.

She hadn\'t expected to be so lucky as to encounter a dining ship after falling overboard.

Initially, she thought it was a ship set up to rip people off.

But who would have thought it would be so delicious!

"What on earth do you add to it!" Perl praised unrestrainedly:

"Boss, your cooking isn\'t too shabby. Next time, I\'ll bring my friends from the newspaper here to eat."

Chen Qi had already tallied up the dishes on the table and said to Perl with a smile:

"Including two bottles of wine, that\'s three thousand Shell Coins."

"Three thousand Shell Coins! Boss, that\'s a bargain! If you renovate a bit more and get a bigger ship, I think charging five thousand wouldn\'t be a problem."

The generous Perl stood up, patting her waist, trying to find an important item called \'wallet.\'

Hmm, why isn\'t it there?

"Um, um, my money was all washed away by the water. How about I give you an autograph? I am quite famous, and my signature is really valuable."

"What?"
