Chapter 1875: Chapter 830: Death Streak!
The Eater God commented.
“Golden flowers?”
Lin Baici immediately looked at the sea of flowers before him. Occasionally, he could spot golden blossoms among them, and he also recalled seeing a few types of golden flowers along the way.
[Right in front of you!]
[The more golden the color, the stronger the effect!]
[It boosts energy and blood, strengthens the stomach and spleen, and enhances kidney function. For men, it can make them as vigorous as Zhao Zilong at the Changban Slope for an entire night.]
[You can call it the Happy Wife Flower!]
Lin Baici gave a glance at the departing Mrs. Oliver and then looked at the butler standing nearby.
The flowers could eat rabbits, which meant they could eat humans too. However, for God Hunters, dealing with them shouldn’t be too hard, but the trick was how to pick the golden flowers without alerting Mrs. Oliver.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please proceed; Mrs. Oliver doesn’t like to be kept waiting, nor does she like others entering her beloved garden without her company!”
The butler looked coldly at them: “Your stench will contaminate these flowers!”
Lin Baici took out a pack of cigarettes and offered one to the butler: “Care for one?”
This was a good brand, aimed at making friends.
Li Yintong, quick-witted, immediately produced a lighter, ready to serve the butler.
San Miyairi raised an eyebrow. Was Lin Baici trying to extract information? Or had he found a way to purify?
It probably wasn’t the latter, right?
In any case, San Miyairi didn’t understand a thing.
“No, thank you!”
The butler refused, knowing he couldn’t appear with the smell of smoke on him near Mrs. Oliver.
Gu Qingqiu didn’t know what Lin Baici intended, but she decided that helping him wouldn’t be wrong, so she tried to persuade the butler to smoke. Unfortunately, being a well-off lady who had been pampered all her life, she wasn’t very good at flattering others, making her efforts seem awkward even with her intelligence.
Thankfully, there was San Miyairi.
She truly was a girl who had climbed up from the bottom. Just a smile from her could evoke pity, affection, and sympathy…
She could deceive without consequence.
The butler couldn’t resist the charm of the cherry blossom girl and took a smoke. Just a few puffs and he treated Lin Baici as a confidant.
“I think these flowers are really beautiful, and I’d like to pick some for specimens.”
Lin Baici tested the waters.
“No way!”
The butler shook his head: “If anyone dares to ruin the Madam’s flowers, they would be chopped up and turned into floral fertilizer!”
“But I really like them!”
Lin Baici activated his Divine Grace, Performance Master, and began to charm the butler.
“I didn’t see anything!”
The butler called over two maids and walked away quickly, clearly giving Lin Baici time to execute his plan.
“God Lin, what do you intend to do?”
Nishimura Morihara inquired.
“Consuming those golden flowers should be able to cleanse the rule pollution on our bodies!”
Lin Baici explained.
“Reason?”
Nishimura Morihara wanted to know how Lin Baici discovered this.
“You talk too much!”
Meatball snapped: “Brother Lin, are you sure about this?”
“Just a guess!”
“This task is really dangerous!”
Meatball stroked his chin, observing the sea of flowers as large as half a football field.
The golden flowers were few and located in the center.
From what happened to the rabbits earlier, the outcome for a human going in wouldn’t be much better!
“I’ll do it!”
Li Yintong rolled up her sleeves, ready to act.
“Let me try!”
Takeuchi Kurano took out a foot-tall doll dressed in a kimono, muttered a few incantations, and the doll began moving, running towards the flower sea.
Unfortunately, as soon as it entered, the roots of those flowers burst from the ground and launched an attack on the doll.
The doll dodged left and right, advancing under such attacks.
“Too much time wasted!”
Lin Baici shook his head. Although the butler had given them time, it surely wouldn’t be for long.
“Let me!”
Meatball licked his lips and pulled a fishing net from his left pants pocket.
Once it was unraveled, he reached inside, and when his hand came out again, it was gripping a fishing rod.
This little fishing net was Meatball’s space-type forbidden item, and that rod was a top-notch weapon that could fetch anything desired.
Meatball put the golden fishhook into his mouth, moistened it with saliva, then cast the line!
Splash!
The fishhook was cast precisely at a golden flower more than twenty meters away.
Thunk!
The fishhook snagged the flower, and with a strong tug from Meatball, the flower was pulled off.
Because Meatball didn’t enter, the thorny roots didn’t attack him.
“Got it!”
Meatball beamed, reaching out to catch the flower, but as soon as it touched his hand, it visibly withered.
“Ugh…”
There was no need for the fish ball guy to ask Lin Baici, he knew this flower definitely couldn’t be used: “I’ll try again!”
“Looks like the flower can only be picked by someone personally going in!”
Analyzed Gu Qingqiu.
“I’ll go!”
Xia Hongyao stepped up.
“Together!”
Lin Baici didn’t stay idle, because time was really tight.
As soon as the two of them stepped into the sea of flowers, those barbed roots, like a cobra hunting its prey, darted over.
Lin Baici activated the Dog King slip-on hiking shoes on his feet, his whole body began to sway left and right, dodging the root attacks.
“Good grief, evasive master?”
Li Yintong exclaimed.
In the sea of flowers, Lin Baici was plucking the golden flowers one by one.
He looked at ease, but he was actually relying entirely on his strong physique to endure, because the usual God Hunters using these hiking shoes would have their bones snapped and twisted all over.
No choice,
their bodies couldn’t handle the acceleration of sudden stops and turns.
“One flower per person, that’s about enough!”
Lin Baici had gathered enough flowers and instantly teleported out of the sea of flowers.
Xia Hongyao did the same exit move, which made those Dongying people incredibly envious.
The Grace of Instant Teleportation, invaluable and unavailable, has enormous tactical value.
Lin Baici distributed the flowers to everyone.
“I’ll try it first!”
The fish ball guy took the flower without a word and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing vigorously.
Ugh!
What’s this taste?
So bitter!
Lin Baici ate while chasing after Mrs. Oliver.
As for whether the Dongying people could get the golden flowers?
He didn’t care!
Even if Lin Baici didn’t eat it, Hua Yue Yu and the others would believe her, so everyone felt they passed the challenge and were in much better spirits.
“Lin Baici ate it, so the golden flower is the answer!”
“Hurry and find a way to pick the flower!”
“Lady Yuki truly doesn’t care about us anymore!”
The Dongying people kept mumbling like a bunch of resentful wives.
“Hurry up!”
Takeuchi Kurano obtained a flower and ate it directly.
As expected, once the petals went down, he immediately felt warm all over, quite comfortable.
“Once you get the flowers, catch up quickly!”
Originally wanting to leave, Takeuchi Kurano thought about being alone and the upcoming journey seemed tough, so he helped Nishimura Morihara and a young man named Suzuka get golden flowers.
Because these two had the most value.
A bunch of little cheeky ones were left behind, anxious and angry, but unable to say a word, they had to struggle to pick flowers in the sea of flowers.
…
Lin Baici and the group caught up and saw Mrs. Oliver standing before a withered Sunflower Sea, her brows furrowed enough to pinch a crab to death.
“Why do my lovely sunflowers have to die?”
The lady was very upset, looking at Li Yintong: “What do you think is the reason?”
“Huh?”
The Tai Mei scratched her head: “I don’t understand this!”
“Idiot!”
The lady glanced at Hua Yue Yu beside her: “What do you say?”
“Shouldn’t it be watered?”
Hua Yue Yu had only ever cared for a few pots of succulents.
“My gardener waters them every day!”
The lady snapped back.
“Then it’s lacking fertilizer?”
Hua Yue Yu’s limited horticultural knowledge only extended to water and fertilizer.
“Yes, I think so too!”
The lady nodded: “So, let’s try adding some flower fertilizer first!”
At first, no one thought her words were terrifying, but Mrs. Oliver’s next sentence made their skin crawl with fear.
“I see you’re small and cute, surely you can make my sunflowers thrive!”
The lady smiled.
The air around them instantly became suffocating.
What kind of situation?
Were they going to use a person as fertilizer?
Two maids immediately stepped forward to seize Hua Yue Yu, planning to chop her up and bury her in the flower field.
