Chapter 299: Tracks of a Giant Rock Serpent Discovered!
With Charizard flying at full speed, Qingyuan quickly arrived near Mount Michaya.
"Let's go with the fire-breathing dragon to that tea shop!"
Sitting on the back of the fire-breathing dragon, Qingyuan easily spotted the conspicuous shop located at the foot of the barren mountain.
"Roar!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Charizard roared and quickly descended towards the shop at the foot of the mountain.
"Pfft!"
After landing near the shop, Qingyuan jumped off Charizard's back.
Hello, is anyone home?
Looking at the tea shop in front of him, Qingyuan cupped his hands in front of him and shouted loudly.
"Here I am! Here I am!"
Would you like some tea?
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, an elderly woman with a full head of white hair and a hunched back quickly walked out of the shop while calling out her wares.
"Um... give me a cup of hot tea and a plate of meatballs, please!"
Seeing the old lady's appearance, Qingyuan swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth and instead looked at the menu hanging on the wall.
He felt a pang of pity for the old woman, and besides, isn't it an unspoken rule to give someone a little something before asking for information?
"Alright, please have a seat, sir. I'll go prepare it for you right away!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the old lady wrote down what Qingyuan had ordered with a pen and paper, invited Qingyuan to sit down, and then walked towards the kitchen!
"Wait, Grandma, there's something I want to ask you!"
Upon seeing this, Qingyuan quickly called out to the old lady.
"Is there anything else, sir?"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the old lady slowly turned around and asked Qingyuan in a puzzled manner.
"Exactly, I wanted to ask, Grandma, is this Mount Michaya?"
Looking at the old lady in front of him, Qingyuan pointed to the barren mountain behind the shop and asked with a curious expression.
"Yes, that's Mount Michaia behind us. The giant onions on the mountain are quite large. You're here to catch giant onions, right?"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the old lady immediately understood why Qingyuan had come, and smiled as she spoke to him.
"Yes! This isn't my first time here. I wasn't sure if this was Mount Michaia, so I thought I'd ask you!"
Upon hearing the old lady's words, Qingyuan immediately nodded and smiled.
"Don't worry, this is Mount Michaia, or you can call it Stone Mountain!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the old lady stopped what she was doing, pointed to the barren mountain behind her, and said to Qingyuan.
"Stone Mountain?"
Hearing this, Qingyuan was completely bewildered. He had no idea that Michaya Mountain had acquired this name.
"Haha, that's the name I gave it. The whole mountain is bare, no plants grow, just rocks!"
Seeing Qingyuan's puzzled expression, the old lady brought him a cup of tea and a plate of meatballs, and said to him with a smile.
"That's quite fitting for the occasion!"
Hearing this, Qingyuan sat in his chair, glanced at the barren mountain behind the shop, and couldn't help but nod.
"Haha, please enjoy your meal, sir. If you need anything, just call me!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the old lady laughed twice, placed the tea and meatballs on the table, said something to Qingyuan, and then returned to the shop.
Upon hearing this, Qingyuan looked at the meatballs on the table.
Three meatballs are skewered together with a bamboo stick, and there are a total of nine meatballs on three skewers on the plate.
However, these nine dumplings did not have the vibrant colors and appetizing appearance of the Four Happiness Dumplings that Qingyuan had eaten in his previous life.
But the plump and round shape also tempted Qingyuan to pick up a skewer and eat it.
There's nothing he can do; he just can't resist things that grow in a regular pattern.
"Hiss, Charizard, come quick! This dumpling is so delicious!"
As soon as he ate the first dumpling, Qingyuan's eyes lit up and he shouted at the Charizard next to him.
Unexpectedly, he was able to eat such delicious meatballs in this desolate wilderness.
"Huh? (Is it really that delicious?)"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Charizard came to Qingyuan's side and questioned him with disbelief.
"Why don't you try it and you'll see!"
Hearing this, Qingyuan didn't argue with it. He simply took a meatball from the skewer and put it into the Charizard's mouth.
"Amu~"
Upon sensing the contents of its mouth, the Charizard reflexively began to chew.
"Wow~ (Wow, this is delicious!)"
Feeling the delicious taste in its mouth, Charizard roared at Qingyuan in shock.
"See, I told you so! How could I possibly lie to you!"
Upon hearing this, Qingyuan immediately spoke smugly to Charizard.
"Hooray! (It really is delicious, even better than your tree fruit soup!)"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Charizard nodded while stuffing the dumpling into its mouth with its hand.
"No, damn it, just give you one to try!"
Seeing Charizard's movements, Qingyuan realized what was happening and immediately grabbed Charizard's two horns, shouting loudly.
"Hey! (Don't stop me from eating dumplings!)"
The Charizard, whose two horns were being held by Qingyuan, roared to the sky and then, with sheer willpower, managed to stuff all the dumplings into its mouth in one go.
"Grandma, another thirty plates of meatballs, please..."
……
After finishing off sixty plates of dumplings with Charizard and the others, and spending 30,000 League Coins to buy Grandma's dumpling-making recipe.
Qingyuan and Charizard then embarked on a new journey to find the giant Onix.
"Look closely, everyone. You've eaten so many of my dumplings, so you have to put in the effort!"
"Otherwise, wouldn't all those meatballs have been eaten for nothing!"
Qingyuan and the Ironhide Tyrannosaurus Rex walked up the mountain and shouted loudly at the Charizard and Gliscor in the sky.
"Greedy! (I know, I know, it's just a few dumplings I stole from you. You've said that more than ten times already. Qingyuan is so stingy!)"
"Haha! (Yeah, yeah, Qingyuan's so stingy!)"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Charizard and Gliscor, these two sworn enemies, stood on the same side for the first time and complained to Qingyuan.
"What are you trying to do? Are you rebelling?"
"I have the recipe for the meatballs. If you want to eat them again in the future, I advise you not to be so rude to me!"
Upon hearing what Gliscor and Charizard said, Qingyuan immediately waved the Pokédex in his hand and threatened Gliscor and the others.
Just kidding, once he gets hold of something, he has plenty of ways to keep Scorpion King and the others at bay.
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the Scorpion King and the others wisely stopped talking and began searching earnestly.
"Greek! (Qingyuan, I've spotted a Giant Onix here!)"
Having two air force support units is a significant advantage.
In just ten minutes, Scorpion King sent Qingyuan news about the giant rock snake.
