Deities Are All Just My Food

Chapter 1907 - 846: The Riddler (Part 2)

Everyone followed Lin Baici and arrived at the kitchen.

"Inside the big jar is spring water, drink it and you’ll be able to see those monsters, hurry up!"

Lin Baici stood at the kitchen door without going in, he wanted to take the opportunity while everyone was away to discuss with Gu Qingqiu.

"If the chess pieces are set up, only Popeye can defeat the evil Mrs. Oliver’s minions."

Gu Qingqiu whispered in explanation.

"Popeye?"

Lin Baici frowned, what does that mean?

"After defeating Mrs. Oliver’s minions, there is a chance to get close to it. If you want to kill it, you need three things. If you wish to pledge loyalty to her, then you must offer the most beautiful and pure maiden!"

"Three things?"

Lin Baici never considered the option of pledging loyalty: "What are they?"

"The chess pieces didn’t say!"

Gu Qingqiu shrugged.

"It seems that lady is the final BOSS of this round, not easy to deal with!"

Lin Baici pondered: "The three things should be in this castle, right?"

"I don’t know!"

Gu Qingqiu added: "Don’t worry, I haven’t left out any information!"

Lin Baici nodded.

The people who drank the spring water began to trickle out.

"Hurry up!"

Lin Baici urged, as some people were moving slowly, he decided not to wait any longer.

"Now, everyone disperse to collect coins, then count five floors up from here, I’ll wait for you in the second study on that floor!"

Lin Baici assigned tasks: "Let’s move!"

Everyone looked at each other but didn’t move.

"..."

Lin Baici’s face darkened.

"God Lin, how about everyone moves together?"

Zeng Shuang suggested.

Lin Baici immediately glared over, his eyes fierce.

Zeng Shuang couldn’t continue speaking under Lin Baici’s glare.

"With so many people moving together, isn’t the target big enough?"

Lin Baici reprimanded: "We’re not in ghost form now, we’ll be seen!"

"Then why did you have us drink the water?"

Someone muttered.

"I’ll say it once, the coins you collect are not for my use!"

Lin Baici was furious, truly a group of selfish people: "There’s a phone upstairs, if you dial someone’s number, as long as they’re in this city, you can invite them over!"

Upon hearing Lin Baici’s words, a few people were overjoyed.

Because they all had companions, having more acquaintances provided a greater sense of security.

"Let me add, this taboo thing was discovered by our team leader, so we have to collect a third as a service fee!"

Gu Qingqiu patched up, otherwise, they’d be scolded when asking for coins later, and without a commission, these people wouldn’t put much effort into finding money, they’d stop when they felt it was enough.

"Of course! Absolutely!"

Wu Hongfu smiled ingratiatingly.

The others kept silent, although they had opinions, they dared not speak up.

To put it harshly, even if Lin Baici was blatantly robbing, they had to endure.

"Also, regardless of whether you get coins or not, come up to gather in an hour!"

After Gu Qingqiu finished speaking, she gave Lin Baici a look, indicating he could leave.

"Let’s go! Move it!"

Wu Hongfu immediately called to his team members.

Zeng Shuang glanced at Wang Qing, she also wanted to follow, but unfortunately, the boss had already offended too many people.

Once Lin Baici left, Kreiser again naturally became the team leader for these people.

"Go collect coins!"

Kreiser, unlike Lin Baici and Gu Qingqiu, was unaccustomed to giving orders, he directly assigned areas to these people, letting them be responsible for rooms in their respective areas, ensuring maximum efficiency.

"Lord Sea Emperor, let’s move together, otherwise it’s dangerous if we encounter monsters!"

Someone suggested.

Kreiser immediately slapped him.

Your life or death is none of my business?

All I want is to collect the most coins in the shortest time.

When Kreiser made a move, everyone fell silent.

"The person who finds the fewest coins, I’ll deal with him!"

Kreiser threatened.

Hoping to slack off?

That’s impossible.

That Lin Baici was still too merciful, and lacked experience in managing others.

In God’s ruins, people can go unrewarded, but cannot go unpunished, otherwise, without deterrence, the team would be difficult to lead.

Everyone gasped, their faces turning somber.

"Hmph, get to work quickly!"

Kreiser tossed these words out and left with three women, including Melanie.

It wasn’t that he was compassionate and wanted to protect the women; he was bringing along three cannon fodder.

Women are easier to control.

...

Lin Baici and Gu Qingqiu searched for money while heading upstairs.

The two of them weren’t lacking in smarts, so their search wasn’t carpet-style; instead, they followed clues to judge which rooms were more likely to be the owner’s, or belonged to the butler or head maid, and they broke in to steal money.

Even in God’s ruins, people like these were relatively affluent.

Half an hour later, Lin Baici and Gu Qingqiu gathered quite a few coins and quickly returned to the study.

Lin Baici stood before the old-fashioned phone called ’Love Before the Common Era,’ inserted a coin, rotated the dial, and called Xia Hongyao.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The phone was busy, making them anxiously wait.

"The number you are calling is not answered!"

"Please try again later!"

"Damn it!"

Lin Baici put down the receiver in frustration.

Even though the call didn’t go through, the money was non-refundable, so Lin Baici inserted another coin and called San Miyairi instead.

This time, the phone only beeped twice before it was answered.

"Moshi moshi!"

It was San Miyairi’s voice, very pleasant, as if she’d been trained as a professional telephone operator, able to cheerfully handle even the most abusive complaints.

"It’s me, Lin Baici, how are you two doing? Isn’t Red Medicine with you?"

Lin Baici was worried; weren’t the two of them supposed to be together?

"We’ve already succeeded in breaking out and are currently hiding at a gang boss’s house!"

San Miyairi laughed, "Red Medicine-chan is interrogating the boss, demanding the vault’s code!"

"You all seem to be having quite the leisure time!"

Lin Baici teased.

"Well, if you’re doing nothing, might as well enjoy it!"

San Miyairi sounded quite happy, "Is everything sorted on your side?"

"Yeah, can you come over now?"

Lin Baici heard San Miyairi calling Xia Hongyao to the phone from the other end.

"Give us a minute to wrap things up!"

After saying this, Lin Baici heard the phone being put down, footsteps rapidly disappearing, and then some faint screams.

Lin Baici checked his watch, his right foot tapping anxiously.

Sixty seconds later, San Miyairi picked up the phone.

"We’re good to go!"

The timing was perfectly precise.

"Get ready!"

Lin Baici started the summoning.

Soon, a colorful bubble burst from the receiver, revealing the curled-up figure of the Sakura girl.

"Eri!"

Gu Qingqiu rushed to support the Sakura girl, while Lin Baici continued to call Xia Hongyao.

"I feel so dizzy!"

San Miyairi pressed her forehead and shook her head, then looked at Lin Baici, finding him unchanged, showing no signs of hardship.

Not to mention injured.

"Lord Lin, I feel like you’re just on vacation!"

San Miyairi teased.

Soon, Xia Hongyao was also transported over.

Her physique was exceptionally strong, like a bull.

As soon as the colorful bubble burst, she jumped up like a monkey, rushed to Lin Baici’s side, and gave him a bear hug.

"Great job!"

Xia Hongyao praised, "Our Seventh Star people are all gathered again!"

"Let’s hope so!"

Lin Baici called Hua Yue Yu.

No answer.

Then he tried Li Yintong.

Still no answer.

"Could you brief us on the situation?"

San Miyairi walked to the window, gazing outside.

She was no longer in that exquisite kimono, but instead wore a white suit, having swapped her wooden clogs for a pair of white leather shoes. She also wore a white hat, making a striking appearance.

There was an indescribable androgynous beauty to it.

Xia Hongyao, on the other hand, wore a black suit, but her firm and athletic build made the suit stretch tight, giving off a tantalizingly snug fit.

Especially the white shirt; although the buttons were done up, they were clearly at their limit, with gaps between them revealing the outline of her undergarments.

With that suit, Xia Hongyao didn’t appear the least bit like a career woman; she seemed more like she was engaging in some special play!
