The clean and tidy streets were paved with anti-slip, easy-to-clean synthetic material floor tiles.
On both sides of the street were modern shopfronts of various styles, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows allowing Adventurers to glimpse the interior.
Cute, food-shaped guiding robots floated on the ground or in the air, and various types of cute robots were also present in the stalls and shops, responsible for cooking food and serving dishes to diners, which was much more convenient than using real NPC.
After all, the process of cooking food is very tedious, and it takes a long time for an average person to get started.
While using real NPC would add more of a lively atmosphere, to maintain such a large street entirely with real NPC would only be possible in the later stages.
For now, using these robots as substitutes is sufficient.
Within the Food Town, although the streets seemed to extend infinitely, there were roughly invisible area divisions, and these sections encompassed almost all global flavors.
For example, in the Asian themed area, there were neon-lit Japanese ramen shops, where the ramen had various soup bases like tonkotsu, miso, and soy sauce, with rich, fragrant broth and thick-cut char siu, showcasing their deliciousness. In Korean BBQ restaurants, sizzling pork belly and beef short ribs gave off steam. Southeast Asian food stalls sold tom yum goong noodles, curry laksa, and mango sticky rice.
In the European promenade area, there were exquisite and elegant French bistros offering confit duck leg, baked snails, and macarons. There were also fragrant Italian restaurants with freshly made pizzas from oven, various pastas, and tiramisu. And the boisterous German beer houses offered crispy pork knuckle, sausage platters, and dark beer; if one felt inspired while eating, they could even go up and give a speech.
In the American Rhapsody area, American burger workshops piled high with juicy beef patties, slathered with creative sauces, paired with large cups of cola, like a paradise of calories. Mexican-style taco stalls offered freshly baked tortillas spread with rich fillings and salad dressing. In Brazilian BBQ restaurants, waiter robots moved through the crowd carrying huge skewers of grilled meat.
Then there was the street food alley, which seemed to be the liveliest area, offering Turkish doner kebabs, Hong Kong-style egg waffles, Indian flying bread, takoyaki, tornado potato towers, stinky tofu, multigrain pancakes…
Everything imaginable was there, full of life.
After enjoying the main course, there was also a paradise of desserts and coffee: Japanese soufflé pancakes, French mille-feuille cakes, Belgian chocolate fountains, Italian handmade ice cream, specialty coffee shops, bubble tea stations, and ice cream trucks.
Finally, the most important part.
Of course, it was the Huaxia Central Street, which occupied the largest area.
As the undisputed core and soul of the entire Food Town, Huaxia Central Street occupied the most central and expansive area.
In the Sichuan-Hunan restaurant, red oil simmered, and ma po tofu emitted a spicy aroma.
In the Cantonese open kitchen, shrimp dumplings steamed fragrantly, and roasted goose glistened with honey.
In the Huaiyang elegant seating area, clear-stewed lion's head was incomparably moist, and soup dumplings burst with freshness.
Northern noodle shops offered chewy ramen, and dumplings and scallion pancakes emitted fragrant aromas.
In the Beijing-style roast duck restaurant, the oven fire was blazing, and the crispy skin was wrapped in pancakes, rich and fragrant.
Within the small streets and alleys, the ultimate flavors of the nine regions of Huaxia lingered on the lips.
Words alone cannot fully enumerate all the delicious foods of Huaxia's nine regions; this Food Town will encompass all the delicacies Chen Yu has seen, enough to fully display the charm of all the world's cuisines during the Duel.
Chen Yu named it the “Gourmet Corridor.”
The Gourmet Corridor, in this futuristic and lively environment, will allow Adventurers to taste the ultimate delicacies from around the world and even from fantasy, in the most efficient and comfortable way.
They will experience the purest, amplified pleasure of their taste buds.
Chen Yu believed that it would certainly become the most longed-for “sacred place” in the hearts of the Food Town Adventurers.
Building this Food Town took Chen Yu a long time, and the workload was much greater than he had imagined.
When he emerged from the Dungeon construction, he found that it was almost dawn, with only three or four hours left until the ‘Dungeon Duel’.
“I’m so sleepy…”
Chen Yu yawned, having stayed up this late for the first time.
He had initially thought it would be a simple matter.
However, in pursuit of perfection, he ended up spending so much time and making it so complex.
But fortunately…
At least it was done, and he was very satisfied with the current results.
Although he was so sleepy at the moment that he wanted to fall asleep immediately, the Dungeon was not yet finished; only one final step remained.
That was construction.
Chen Yu rubbed his somewhat throbbing temples and immediately sent a message to Li Siya.
“Give me three more Dungeon territories.”
After sending it.
He stared at the chat interface, lost in thought for several minutes.
It wasn't until he yawned again that Chen Yu remembered it was already late at night.
Normal people were asleep.
How about…
Sleep for three hours and then wake up?
Chen Yu pondered for a moment.
Just as he was about to close the system interface.
He suddenly received a message.
“Li Siya, the leader of the Great Xia Alliance, has transferred a piece of land to you. The land is located at Starlight Forest xxx/xxxx. Would you like to accept it?”
Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly.
“Receiving!”
“Congratulations, you have received a large village.”
“Would you like to activate the protective shield?”
After processing it, Li Siya's message also came through: “I’m sorry, I fell asleep.”
“...I should be the one apologizing. I was too engrossed in building and forgot to tell you beforehand.” Chen Yu felt quite awkward for waking someone from their sleep.
However, Li Siya's sleep was too light; even such a message could wake her.
“...No, it’s fine. This large village was obtained in the southern part of the Starlight Forest. Oh, and...our alliance has gained another Lord. His territory is in the Giant Stone Hills, and his troops are Avian folk.”
“Also, I’ve thoroughly explored the Starlight Forest. Currently, only one War Lord remains alive. It seems to belong to some alliance, and it has expressed hostility towards our expansion…”
“Just eliminate such ones directly. You are the leader; you can make decisions. You don’t need to report to me.”
Seeing Li Siya still reporting everything in detail, Chen Yu interrupted, “Anyway, just remember…if you need to fight, just fight directly. I have plenty of money.”
“Okay,” Li Siya replied.
After a brief exchange, Chen Yu stopped replying, letting her rest.
He, meanwhile, began the final step of construction.
Soon.
Three Dungeons appeared in a village, their bronze doors glowing faintly.
The Gourmet Corridor construction was complete.
After finishing all this, Chen Yu was incredibly sleepy and went back to his room to sleep.
As for the ‘Dungeon Duel’ after dawn.
He didn't need to watch it.
It would be a complete Rolling anyway, so watching or not made no difference.
Chen Yu quickly fell asleep.
