Deities Are All Just My Food

Chapter 1897 - 841: Chess Soul_2

Wow!

The crowd gasped.

Everyone, who initially found the fish-headed monsters disgusting, immediately crowded over.

"Captain Wu, give me one!"

"Thanks, God Lin!"

"Are we supposed to eat it raw?"

The People from Jiuzhou surrounded Wu Hongfu, whether or not they intended to eat it, they wanted to get their hands on it first.

The person from Dongying moved extremely fast, darting to the monster fish that fell to the ground and grabbing it.

The other Southeast Asians exchanged a glance, quickly crowding over, trying to grab one amidst the chaos, while the Europa People looked over at Kreiser.

They weren’t averse to taking one, they were just worried that asking for fish might anger Kreiser.

Of course, it would be even better if Kreiser took the initiative to snatch the bucket and monopolize all the monster fish.

"God Lin, do we just eat the eyeball after scooping it out?"

The Dongying person humbly asked: "Should we prepare it somehow?"

"No need!"

Lin Baici said this for Wu Hongfu and the others to hear.

The Dongying person was very cautious, holding the fish but not eating immediately, preferring to wait until the People from Jiuzhou had consumed theirs before feeling assured.

Because Lin Baici shouldn’t be trying to trick them.

Wu Hongfu and the others moved quickly, each taking a monster fish, extracting an eyeball, but instead of eating it, they all looked toward Lin Baici.

"Did you eat one too?"

Zeng Shuang asked, then worried it might be misunderstood and quickly apologized: "Uh, I wasn’t questioning you, just wondering how you eat it?"

"Raw!"

Lin Baici was speechless: "What? You planning on getting some dipping sauce?"

"Eat! Eat! Eat!"

Wu Hongfu urged loudly, then was the first to toss the eyeball into his mouth.

Ugh!

The texture was terrible, like chewing on sticky snot.

But the effect was immediate, as everyone ate the eyeballs, the stares watching them quickly turned away.

"It seems to work?"

"No kidding, this is God Lin’s doing!"

"Long live God Lin!"

Everyone cheered, flattering Lin Baici.

Kreiser gave Melanie a look.

Melanie understood instantly; she was to gather intel, so she smiled charmingly and asked in a coquettish voice: "God Lin, how did you know that eating these eyeballs avoids monster attacks?"

"Just a guess!"

Lin Baici shrugged his shoulders.

"God Lin..."

Melanie pouted, her voice as sweet as if soaked in honey for three hundred days.

"If you want to survive, you better hurry to the upstairs kitchen to find eyeballs, I don’t know if they’re still effective once the fish are dead!"

Lin Baici wouldn’t bother sharing this purification method if he wasn’t hoping to keep a few more cannon fodder around.

The fish he brought, all their eyeballs were consumed.

People like Wang Qing and Wu Hongfu each ate one but saved another, clearly afraid the eyeball’s effect might wear off.

"Go!"

Kreiser knew lingering wouldn’t help, and led his group forward.

Melanie and the others quickly followed.

As she passed by Lin Baici, Melanie bent down and bowed.

"Thank you!"

Some said it, and some didn’t.

Wu Hongfu and the others took the opportunity to get close to Lin Baici, and when they saw Kreiser walking away with a candlestick, they could still see the monsters, all breathing a sigh of relief.

The most important thing was, the monsters followed Kreiser and his group, clearly because they hadn’t eaten the fish eyes.

It’s working!

God Lin’s purification method is correct!

"God Lin, if you ask me, you shouldn’t have helped those people!"

"Yeah, they couldn’t even say thank you!"

"Without helping them, who would you use as cannon fodder?"

"God Lin isn’t that heartless."

Everyone chattered, sucking up to Lin Baici, offering various praises.

"Let’s go!"

Lin Baici headed upstairs.

Everyone wanted to ask Lin Baici how he discovered in such a short time that the fish eyes were the key!

This is just too impressive.

"Shouldn’t we just not go up?"

Zeng Shuang suggested, since the monsters were gone, there was no need for them to send themselves into danger!

"We have so much cannon fodder, no need to waste it, and with God Lin here, what are you afraid of?"

Wang Qing scolded.

He feared that without the Europa People, Lin Baici would use him as cannon fodder, since their relationship wasn’t amicable.

By the time everyone else caught up, Kreiser and his group had already eaten the eyeballs.

The monsters didn’t leave, but they weren’t staring at them anymore.

Kreiser gave Lin Baici a thumbs-up.

Expressing appreciation.

This time, even the arrogant Europa People thanked Lin Baici because they worried that if they didn’t show gratitude now, that People from Jiuzhou might not help them next time.

Kreiser gritted his teeth, feeling a bit unhappy.

He hadn’t abandoned them and returned to help, but his contribution wasn’t as significant as Lin Baici’s.

Indeed, only those who can purify rule pollution are respected.

The crisis was temporarily lifted, and everyone wasn’t too panicked.

"Do you guys feel like these monsters look a bit familiar?"

Melanie looked at Lin Baici.

"You’ve seen something similar?"

Gulis seemed to want to rinse her mouth.

"No..."

Melanie tried to think.

"It’s international chess, isn’t it?"

Lin Baici and Kreiser spoke in unison.

"Yes! Yes! That’s it!"

Melanie realized: "Pawns, Knights are horses; those two Bishops should be elephants, then there are the Rooks and the Queen!"

With Melanie’s explanation, everyone discovered it really was like that.

At the back of these monsters was a woman wearing a crown and holding a scepter, who really had an air of an Empress.

"So according to what you said, where’s the ’King’?"

Kim Myungjin asked.

There was no King among these ’pieces.’

"Could the King be the big BOSS?"

Zeng Shuang worried.

"If it’s international chess, there should be black and white factions, right?"

Gulis didn’t know how to play chess, but knew the basics: "This means, in this old castle, there’s another batch of monsters?"

The ones they’ve encountered so far are all wearing white armor and clothes, even their weapons are white.

"Don’t scare yourself, with God Lin here, there’s nothing to worry about!"

Wu Hongfu laughed heartily: "God Lin, what’s the next move? Just give the word!"

Lin Baici continued onward, guided by his hunger radar.

After climbing two more floors, he stopped.

A squad of soldiers stood guard, holding long swords, solemnly positioned on both sides of the staircase.

They were wearing black armor.

This confirmed Melanie’s guess.

These monsters were indeed contaminated by international chess.

"Should we keep going up?"

Zeng Shuang muttered: "We’ve eaten the eyeball, we shouldn’t be contaminated, right?"

"Stop talking, just listen to God Lin!"

Wu Hongfu tightened his grip on the machete.

[The big one is coming!]

[When the chess spirit asks, if the previous person just refused it, then the next person must agree, or they will be executed!]

Eater God commented.

Lin Baici raised an eyebrow, what does this mean?

Refusal, acceptance, refusal...

Is it a loop sequence like this?

On the staircase, two majestically dressed Kings wearing crowns, carrying a large chair, walked down.

On the chair sat a little girl, about seven or eight years old.

The little girl had long golden hair, a small crown on her head, and wore a black and white checkered princess dress, making her look like a chessboard at first glance.

Behind her followed a woman in a black gown, holding a chessboard in her arms.

As expected, this was the Black Queen.

The crowd immediately held their breath, tense with anticipation.

This posture clearly indicated the BOSS had arrived.

The two Kings descended the stairs and placed the chair down.

The little girl stood up, put her hands on her hips, and cast her gaze over Lin Baici and his group.

"Who will play chess with me?"

The Black Queen placed the chessboard in front of the little girl, and immediately black and white pieces appeared on it.

No one answered, and many even backed away, trying to distance themselves from the little girl.

Melanie noticed Lin Baici was standing still, his courage unwavering.

"Can’t you play chess?"

The little girl saw no one was speaking, pouted dissatisfied, then pointed to one randomly: "You come!"

It was Gulis!

"I don’t know how to play chess!"

Gulis smiled apologetically, wanting to avoid this match.

"I can teach you!"

The girl said expressionlessly, impatiently urging: "Come on, I can even give you three pieces!"
