Chapter 449: Is Wen Yu’s Cooking Not Nice?
Lin Yuan was in a great mood after the trade. He was now finally able to start upgrading the Source Sand’s quality. At the same time, Lin Yuan could feel Red Thorn inside the leaf-shaped fey storage box devouring the Gold water world dimensional lifeforms. Lin Yuan didn’t think he could look at the scene directly.
Lin Yuan suddenly reflected on his thoughts. Am I really a good father to let Red Thorn eat such smelly things?
Liu Jie and Listen were conversing with their eyes. When Liu Jie saw how Listen was giving him eye signals, Liu Jie said, “I will come clean. I didn’t get to trade for anything.”
After speaking, he took out the gold-threaded bag, which contained 30 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls. In response, Listen did the same and said, “It is the same for me.”
Upon seeing that, Lin Yuan asked, “There weren’t any suitable resources for trade?”
Liu Jie and Listen nodded and shook their heads. Listen was the first to speak. “Heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls are considered rather valuable strategic-class resources. Even if I wanted to trade, I am only able to trade for resources of the same value. I feel that it wouldn’t be a profit.”
Liu Jie agreed. “I have the same feeling. As compared to those strategic-class resources, the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls are more convenient to use in trades. It would be more worth it to keep these elemental pearls at hand.”
When Lin Yuan heard the replies from Liu Jie and Listen, he finally understood the problem.
He had never given great importance to the heavenly-maiden-grade pearls and would use them to exchange for strategic-class resources of the same value. It was due to the fact that he knew how easy it was to obtain these pearls.
He just had to sleep on his bed for a night and would be able to pick up quite a few pearls in the Spirit Lock spatial zone on the next day.
However, Listen, and Liu Jie stood in the angle of a regular person to see the value of the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.
When having such a comparison, Lin Yuan felt that he was really a squanderer.
Immediately after, Lin Yuan realized that the conversation between Listen and Liu Jie sounded rather bizarre. It seemed like they had a hard time speaking.
Liu Jie said in a muffled voice, “If this is the case since both of us didn’t trade for anything, it is a draw.”
When hearing Liu Jie’s statement, Listen heaved a sigh of relief. However, Listen started to cough after hearing Liu Jie’s subsequent statement.
“Since we both failed, we both lost.”
Listen looked at Liu Jie with a dumbfounded expression and asked, “Big Brother Liu, why don’t you think that we both won?”
Liu Jie shook his head and said in a deep voice, “Since we didn’t get to trade for anything, it means we lost. Since we lost, we need to receive the punishment together.”
Listen looked at Liu Jie suspiciously and asked, “Big Brother Liu, do you like to eat spicy food? Therefore, you want someone like me who prefers sour food to eat spicy food with you?”
Liu Jie replied in an unpleasant tone, “Even if I do like eating spicy food, I wouldn’t just eat a Platinum Ghost Pepper, right!?
“This way then... We will split the Platinum Ghost Pepper.”
After hearing Liu Jie’s response, Listen had a feeling that Liu Jie was waiting for him to ask for mercy. Therefore, Listen ground his teeth and said, “Since Big Brother Liu is so fair and just, then we need to keep to our promise of not drinking milk and to drink cold cola after eating the Ghost Pepper!”
Although Lin Yuan did not know the exact conditions of the bet, he inferred from their conversation that the duo had made a bet, and their wager was a Platinum Ghost Pepper.
Lin Yuan felt that Listen and Liu Jie were truly brave warriors!
Lin Yuan was rather good at eating spicy food too, but if he ate something too spicy, his entire body would be sweating profusely while his stomach would feel as though it was on fire.
Once the Platinum Ghost Pepper entered the stomach, even if it was split in two, their stomachs would probably feel a volcano eruption.
Furthermore, the most miserable thing would happen the next morning when one would probably feel like a rocket launching in the toilet.
During the previous bet, Liu Jie and Listen had made the wager to eat 30 sour lemons. It was so sour that the victim had to eat congee for several days.
Therefore, Lin Yuan naturally had to persuade the duo. However, after seeing their determined faces, Lin Yuan helplessly thought of a good idea.
“Once we return, why don’t I ask Wen Yu to extract the juice of the Platinum Ghost Pepper and mix it with honey before making it into lollipops? The sweet taste might be able to neutralize some of the spicy taste.”
Listen and Liu Jie looked at Liu Jie and felt that he was a demon.
If they were to swallow half of a Ghost Pepper at once, they would be giving their mouths a quick execution. If it was made into lollipops, they would need to keep it in their mouths for over a dozen minutes. Their mouths would probably swell up and become bigger than their heads.
By then, they would have to lower their heads when they walked and would still have to be cautious that their swollen lips might make them fall over.
Liu Jie and Listen exchanged looks. They gave up their impartiality and integrity.
“I feel that since it is a draw, it should be a win-win situation.”
“That’s right, I feel so too.”
Lin Yuan raised his brows as he thought, Do they think that Wen Yu’s lollipops aren’t good?
Lin Yuan scratched his head in confusion. When he ate her meal previously, it was rather nice!
Since Lin Yuan was now a pauper, he naturally didn’t have the intention to continue shopping in the Indigo Azure Sea Market. Otherwise, if he found something he wanted and couldn’t buy it, he would be torturing himself for no reason.
Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said, “It is still early. Why don’t we take a look at the coastal sea? Let’s see if the coastal sea has any secrets that can capture the attention of the Zheng Family’s third lineage.”
Listen was shocked when he heard Lin Yuan’s words.
There was probably no one else that wished to know the secrets of the coastal sea more than Listen. He had been trying to find out if the deaths of his family were related to the secrets of the coastal sea!
After sensing the change of Listen’s expression, Liu Jie patted him on the shoulder and said, “Earlier on, in the Radiance Hundred group chat, they mentioned that a few Class 5 Scholars studied the active period of the dimensional rifts and realized that it would happen one or two days earlier than expected.
“Therefore, it is best to investigate the coastal sea within these two days. Otherwise, there might be mishaps during the active period of the dimensional rifts.”
When Lin Yuan heard that piece of information, he felt fortunate that a Radiance Hundred Sequence member was by his side. It was truly convenient to find out such information in advance.
He was also feeling unfortunate that he didn’t have a lot of time.
With Listen as the guide, Lin Yuan and Liu Jie arrived at the coastal sea near the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce.
Once they arrived at the shore of the coastal sea, Lin Yuan’s expression immediately turned stern.
After using his nose to smell, Lin Yuan realized that the coastal sea under the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s control wasn’t normal.
