Deities Are All Just My Food
Chapter 810 - 409: Xia Caiwen here, admiring Master Lin greatly!

Chapter 810: Chapter 409: Xia Caiwen here, admiring Master Lin greatly!

When Lin Baici arrived, the Goryeo woman was already close to suffocating to death.

"Xiao Bai!"

Hua Yue Yu had strong empathy. Seeing the woman hired by Gu Qingqiu suffer, she felt bad for her. She wanted to help, but she was powerless.

Xia Hongyao was kneeling on one knee, trying to remove the Exploding Pearl Octopus that was lodged in the woman’s throat.

When she saw Lin Baici coming, she immediately relaxed.

"I’ll leave it to you!"

High Ponytail said this and then froze.

Do I really trust Little Linzi this much now?

Just seeing him come, I feel everything will be fine!

"Pry her mouth open as wide as you can!"

Lin Baici instructed, then poked two fingers into her mouth, activating Death’s Grip.

About seven or eight seconds later, Lin Baici pulled his fingers out.

Whoosh!

Three little octopuses were yanked out.

The Goryeo woman’s breathing instantly smoothed out. Her violently heaving chest calmed down. However, the convulsions did not stop, for the toxins had not been cleared.

"Do these octopuses have neurotoxins in them?"

Gu Qingqiu’s brows furrowed.

"Yes!"

Lin Baici took out two strands of meat and stuffed them into the Goryeo woman’s mouth, then poured some water down to help her swallow.

"Isn’t this too wasteful?"

In such a chaotic situation, Gu Qingqiu still maintained her rationality.

The meat that Lin Baici fed the native woman was undoubtedly a product of God’s Ruins and very precious. In Qingqiu’s view, although these natives had human forms, they should be classed as monsters and therefore used as consumables.

"So we should just watch her die?"

Lin Baici sighed.

Gu Qingqiu nodded, agreeing with this stance. With a team leader who had a sense of humanity, there was no need to worry about being betrayed or abandoned.

The native woman stopped convulsing after eating the strands of meat, and her condition immediately improved. With her in this state, though, she was unable to continue eating octopus.

Gu Qingqiu looked at another woman they had hired.

Her face was pale, and she shook her head subconsciously.

"Do you know how to deal with the octopus’s poison glands?"

Gu Qingqiu looked around. Looks can be deceiving—six teams had already resolved the crisis and started eating the octopus again.

Among them was the Yellowstone Group.

"I don’t know!"

Lin Baici put on the Butcher’s Mask, he could deal with the Exploding Pearl Octopus; but now, the organizers were demanding it to be eaten alive.

"Might as well just call it quits!"

Xia Hongyao actually didn’t care that much about the prize money. It was mainly because Gu Qingqiu’s previous plan was too efficient. A few more demonstrations, and they could easily make a thousand yuan.

"We can give up, but we have to find a way to get others disqualified too!"

Gu Qingqiu looked at the Great Shaman. Who knew if this game had an elimination mechanic at the end?

Therefore, having more God Hunters on their side would undoubtedly be beneficial.

"Master Lin!"

A man hurried over, stopped next to Lin Baici, and gave a respectful bow with his hands clasped, referring to him as a master.

Whoosh!

Xia Hongyao and the others all looked over.

"Who’s this?"

Gu Qingqiu was curious. "Why do they call you Master Lin?"

"Vegetable Thief, a new friend!"

Lin Baici introduced, "A practitioner of the Winter Long Fist, famous in Gwangju, Goryeo."

"I dare not accept such praise!"

Vegetable Thief replied modestly, but pride was written all over his face. He had been complimented by Master Lin, and in front of so many beautiful women, no less.

"What ’Thief’?"

Gu Qingqiu could barely contain her amusement.

"I’m Vegetable Thief!"

Vegetable Thief clasped his hands. "Master Lin flatters me; his martial skills are much superior to mine!"

"..."

Hua Yue Yu wanted to ask, are you imitating Ye Wen’s name?

Vegetable Thief’s eyes couldn’t help but drift over Xia Hongyao. He wasn’t looking at her chest, but rather at her limbs, torso, and the muscles that could be seen.

Such a beautifully built body!

Definitely a fantastic prospect for martial arts!

I really want to have a sparring match with her!

Right,

I wonder if she has a boyfriend! Then, as Vegetable Thief’s glance fell on Xia Hongyao’s chest, he shook his head in disappointment.

So big, it hinders martial training!

What a pity!

If she was flat, her combat power could surely triple.

"Are you here to participate in the big challenge too?"

Lin Baici thought these amateurs sure were bold, not afraid of being discovered.

"Yes!"

A prize of a hundred million! If I got my hands on that, I wouldn’t have to work for at least ten years.

"What did you come to see me for?"

It couldn’t just be to catch up, could it?

Vegetable Thief looked around and then leaned in close to Lin Baici’s ear, whispering, "This kind of octopus is called the Exploding Pearl Octopus, it contains toxins. Eating it raw will cause people to convulse from poisoning!"

"Didn’t the organizers provide a dozen or so kinds of kimchi? There’s a type of seaweed among them. If you feed it to these octopuses, it can knock them out. Not only will they be eaten without struggling, but it will also neutralize the toxins in their bodies."

This kind of octopus was not highly favored as food by humans, but it was one of the amateurs’ favorite dishes.

Many Vegetable Thieves found the amateurs by tracking the sales routes of these seaweeds. Over time, the amateurs also didn’t eat this kind of seafood much anymore.

"These organizers are really tricky!"

Xia Hongyao was speechless.

Everyone thought the kimchi was to complement the octopus, making it easier to swallow, but the key turned out to be in these.

"I was thinking there was no way the organizers would give us an unsolvable ingredient!"

Che Zhengshuo nodded, looking like he realized this belatedly, then puzzled. "But what if the octopus doesn’t eat the seaweed?"

Vegetable Thief looked at Che Zhengshuo as if he was an idiot. "Don’t you have hands? You can stuff it into their mouths!"

"..."

Che Zhengshuo stuffed his hands into his pockets, as though he hadn’t been the one to ask that.

"Why did you tell us this?"

Gu Qingqiu eyed the amateur with suspicion.

"Because I admire Master Lin!"

The amateur gazed at Lin Baici, eyes brimming with reverence, "Master Lin, when you’re free, I’d like to learn from you!"

"..."

Hua Yue Yu and Xia Hongyao were dumbfounded. What the hell did you do when we left?

How did you get yet another title of ’Master’?

"Master Lin, there’s not much time left for the contest, please eat quickly!"

The amateur was preparing to leave.

"Wait!"

Gu Qingqiu called out, "I’ll offer ten million to buy this information exclusively!"

The amateur was stunned, not expecting this young woman to be so decisive. Without waiting for his refusal, she raised her offer.

"Twenty million!"

Forget that this was in God’s ruins where money could be looted; even in reality, she wouldn’t panic!

"Sorry!"

The amateur shook his head.

"The price you sell it for definitely won’t exceed what I’m offering!"

Gu Qingqiu reminded.

"What do you mean?"

Xia Hongyao was utterly confused. Why can’t I understand what you’re talking about?

"This person’s companion is selling information on how to deal with the Exploding Pearl Octopus!"

Gu Qingqiu explained.

When she entered earlier, she had already memorized every team member. Now, the amateur’s companions were left with only two eating octopus, while the rest scattered, approaching other competitors.

It was clear they intended to profit from this piece of information.

The amateur was surprised. This girl was smart, and her observation skills were meticulous.

"Why sell it?"

Che Zhengshuo didn’t understand, "The more people are eliminated, the higher your chances of claiming the championship."

"Too many variables!"

The amateur chuckled. Considering the content of the contest, he reckoned the upcoming challenges wouldn’t be simple either. Rather than gambling on a championship, why not secure some money now.

If they got eliminated, they would still have a considerable amount of yuan in earnings.

"Master Lin, I shall take my leave!"

The amateur made his exit.

"Hurry up and eat!"

Lin Baici said, then returned to his team’s dining cart.

"Whew!"

Xia Hongyao took a deep breath and rolled up her sleeves, "This time, I’ll eat!"

"No need!"

Gu Qingqiu stopped Xia Hongyao and commanded a Gwangju native woman, "You eat!"

"You heard it too, there won’t be any danger this time, and I’ll give you a million after you’re done!"

The Gwangju native woman who was initially hesitant immediately nodded in agreement.

"Red Medicine, go help her handle the octopus!"

Gu Qingqiu directed, her gaze sweeping past the judges standing by.

The amateur and his teammates were running around, and these people just let them be?

But then again, it made sense. It was only the first battle, and if too many were eliminated, the big challenge would lose its appeal!

Of course, there could be other reasons too!

"God Lin, what did the Vegetable Thief want from you?"

Quan Sangin hadn’t expected the Head People to come as well.

"It told me how to deal with this kind of octopus!"

Lin Baici fished out a small octopus, grabbed some sticky seaweed pickle, ripped open the octopus’s mouth, and stuffed it inside.

"Ah?"

Quan Sangin’s expression was confused, not understanding at all. You had just wiped out their stronghold, and it was already surprising they didn’t seek revenge; and they even volunteered information?

Certified!

The amateur was a masochist!

Kim Jinsoo came back to his senses, but even so, it wasn’t suitable for eating anymore.

"I’ll do it!"

Li Yintong raised her hand.

She needed to show Linzi that her Nine Dragons Hall’s God Hunters also had courage.

"I’ll do it instead!"

The Lady Boss came over. To make a name for her large restaurant, she couldn’t sit back without doing her part.

"Thank you for your effort!"

Lin Baici did not refuse.

The seaweed worked wonders, stuffing it into the Exploding Pearl Octopus’s belly; in less than a minute, the creature stopped moving. Han Suying, her cheeks plump with flesh, took it up and stuffed it into her mouth.

Watching the Lady Boss’s cheeks puff up as she chewed the octopus, with some juices still flowing from her red lips, Quan Sangin unconsciously squeezed his legs together.

Asiba!

So sexy!

Even if the Lady Boss was a monster, Quan Sangin felt he’d be okay with it.

As for how to eat Exploding Pearl Octopus, not only the amateurs but also some Gwangju natives knew. Initially, the God Hunters were in trouble, but once the amateur sold the information, everyone passed this round.

"Asiba, I almost stumbled here!"

Lin Yizhen wiped off the cold sweat from her forehead.

"What a pity!"

A white, plump woman from the Yellowstone Group chewed on a live octopus, shaking her head regretfully. Otherwise, this round could have eliminated many competitors.

Beep!

The ship’s horn blared from the announcement system.

"Time’s up, any team that hasn’t finished their octopus is eliminated!"

The judges immediately began checking the dining carts, making final checks.

One after another chess pieces were raised, signifying elimination.

Gu Qingqiu looked around and felt that almost all of the God Hunters had made it through.

Beep!

Without giving the competitors time to rest, the announcement continued.

"The final Big Eater battle, the Jajangmyeon Marathon, starts now!"

Team after team of staff came in with dining carts, on which stood two large iron buckets steaming hot, next to them a stack of bowls and chopsticks, along with some bottled drinks.
