Chapter 257: Chapter 132: Master, shall we play a game?_2

He took out the bullfrog, made a quick, thin horizontal cut just above its mouth with the bronze sword, then grabbed it firmly and tore off its skin.

Rip!

A piece of bullfrog skin was pulled off by Lin Baici, leaving only the faint pink flesh.

The bullfrog was still alive, so its limbs were flailing wildly.

Lin Baici, trying to suppress his disgust, cut open the bullfrog’s belly, found a cocoon-like organ, and spotted a gland as thick as a yogurt straw. He touched it, found the head, pinched it, cut it off with the bronze sword, tied it in a knot, and then quickly removed the poison gland.

Afterward, he scooped out this clump of innards.

"..."

The others stared at Lin Baici, dumbstruck.

Although his movements were not smooth and skilled, his hands were steady, and his purpose was clear, as if he had dealt with this kind of bullfrog before and knew how to handle it.

Lin Baici glanced at the maid.

The maid met Lin Baici’s gaze and smiled faintly, with her large, contact-lensed eyes twinkling.

Without saying anything, Lin Baici immediately took a bucket of mineral water from the Black Tripod Bowl, twisted off the cap, and poured it on the bullfrog, washing away the mucus and blood.

[Eat it, pure and natural, harmless; its meat is rich in hormones that can increase your O-ganone!]

Lin Baici initially felt a bit grossed out, but after hearing the words of the Eater God, he picked up the bullfrog and started nibbling it.

Eh?

The taste is unexpectedly good!

"Do you guys want some?"

Lin Baici asked.

"Have you handled this kind of bullfrog before?"

Xia Hongyao was curious.

"No, but I’ve killed fish before. I figured the processing method is about the same!"

If it were only Xia Hongyao, Lin Baici would have explained the process to her, but with others around, he thought better of it.

Clap clap clap!

The maid applauded, very satisfied with Lin Baici’s performance.

"Who’s next?"

The maid asked.

"Red Medicine, your turn!"

Lin Baici urged, "Let her spin the wheel!"

"Oh!"

Xia Hongyao, showing great trust in her friend, had no hesitation when Lin Baici told her to go up.

Nangong Shu watched this unfold with surprise.

Gaining such trust from Xia Hongmian’s sister meant Lin Baici certainly had something special.

The maid spun the food wheel, and after more than thirty seconds, the wheel slowed down, finally stopping with the pointer on a slot labeled kiwifruit.

"You’re very lucky, you drew a type of fruit!"

The maid crouched down and took out a transparent jar from a suitcase, inside which was a pink peach.

"What good luck!"

The others envied, certain that the peach was safe.

"Haha!"

Xia Hongyao was overjoyed, raising her right hand towards Lin Baici: "Come on, high five!"

[Kiwifruit, sweet and delicious flesh, quite delectable, but once the skin comes into contact with the fuzzy hair, it causes intolerable itching and redness, and the skin will grow hairs like mold, which take days to fall off!]

[No lasting side effects, it’s just quite uncomfortable while the hairs are growing!]

[Soaking the kiwifruit in vinegar will quickly remove the hairs!]

Xia Hongyao was about to reach for the peach when Lin Baici quickly stopped her.

"Wait a minute!"

Lin Baici pulled out a pair of disposable gloves and passed them to Xia Hongyao: "Put these on!"

"You’re really cautious!"

The old man remarked.

This fruit looked fine, but who knew if there was a catch?

Lin Baici had placed a lot of supplies in the Black Tripod Bowl, including essentials like firewood, rice, oil, and salt. He took out a bag of vinegar and poured it into the bowl.

"Put the peach in here!"

Lin Baici instructed.

Xia Hongyao followed his direction, and after the peach soaked in the vinegar, the hairs on its skin quickly fell off. She took it out, rinsed it with mineral water, and began to eat.

"The taste is great!"

Xia Hongyao gave a thumbs up.

"Next!"

The maid urged.

This round of the game was called Food Roulette, where the hosts had to eat whatever food they drew. As for how to deal with the ’food,’ as long as they didn’t throw away more than one-fifth, the maid did not inquire.

The rest hesitated, not nearly as bold as Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao.

The more God Hunters experienced God’s ruins, the more cautious they became.

"Aunt Shu, you best go soon, and have the maid spin the wheel for you!"

Lin Baici advised.

Nangong Shu was clearly friendly with Xia Hongyao and she was also an innkeeper, worthy of a little help.

As for the others?

Everyone was a God Hunter, and it was possible that they had their own trump cards.

Nangong Shu glanced at Lin Baici and, after just a moment of hesitation, stepped forward.

She chose to trust Lin Baici.

This young man must possess some Taboo things, allowing him to make the right decisions, as evidenced by his interactions with Xia Hongyao.

What Nangong Shu pulled was a plate of jelly that looked very much like snot.

[Sperm whale blubber jelly, slightly heated before eating, otherwise it will cause a runny nose for several days, making the nose swell and stuffy.]

Nangong Shu looked to Lin Baici, waiting for a ’food processing suggestion.’

"I think it should be heated before eating!"

Lin Baici dared not speak with certainty, lest others catch on to the trick.

Nangong Shu acted immediately.

"The fourth one!"

As the maid spoke, everyone’s gaze turned towards Lin Baici.

Lin Baici remained silent.

"Handsome, will you check it out for me later?"

The transgender threw a flirtatious look.

"Sorry, I’m just guessing based on a feeling!"

Lin Baici excused himself.

The old man stepped forward, following Lin Baici’s approach in asking the maid to spin the food wheel, betting on the man’s ability to have predicted this round’s critical point.

Even though he didn’t know what it was, following suit should do no harm.
