Deities Are All Just My Food

Chapter 1924 - 855: Key Item!

Narita Hyoshi, now in his puffed-up, muscular state, was the very embodiment of the word ’brute force’!

Gu Qingqiu noticed that, although Narita Hyoshi’s eyes were bloodshot, his gaze remained clear, and he had not lost his sanity. So he ordered, "Go for it!"

Narita Hyoshi felt the surging power coursing through his body, and he really wanted to punch this Hong Kong Island woman. However, he knew that even as a muscular brute, he probably couldn’t beat them, so he had to grit his teeth and vent his anger on those minions instead.

"Banzai!"

Narita Hyoshi shouted, launching his attack.

These Dongying people, apart from Suzuka Tetsuo who wasn’t implicated due to Eri-chan, all consumed a can of vegetables named Green Dream, transforming into Popeye-like figures and started eliminating the minions.

Wu Hongfu and Wang Qing breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that this round should be stable.

"Are you two just going to watch?"

The Fishball Man sneered.

Actually, they weren’t just watching; there were quite a few minions, and Wu Hongfu and Wang Qing were also fighting, but in the Fishball Man’s eyes, it wasn’t enough.

The longer a contamination takes, the more dangerous it becomes.

Wu Hongfu and Wang Qing, being seasoned veterans, knew from what the Fishball Man said that he wanted them to eat the canned goods, causing their expressions to turn ugly.

"Fish God, having them is enough!"

Wang Qing pleaded, hoping the Fishball Man would spare them.

Who knows if consuming those canned goods would have any side effects?

If there’s a way to avoid risk, it’s best to play it safe!

"Either eat the canned goods or get beaten to death by me, choose one?"

The Fishball Man was too lazy to waste words and directly imposed strong pressure.

As a warrior below Dragon Level, his combat prowess was his confidence.

What?

Get lost?

No such option!

Wu Hongfu and Wang Qing’s lips twitched, their faces filled with indignation and disgust as if they had eaten something foul, but they were helpless; they couldn’t provoke him!

"Red Medicine, distribute the canned goods to them!"

The Fishball Man was well aware of this, hence he took on this dirty job, not wanting Lin Baici and the others to get their hands dirty.

These minions would only die completely when killed by the Popeye-like figures; otherwise, they would keep reviving.

Wu Hongfu and Wang Qing ate the can of spinach, and their muscles immediately began to expand, their strength increasing.

After all, being Below Dragon Level, once they joined the battle, they immediately expanded their side’s advantage.

[Vegetable canned goods, Green Dream, after consumption, will enlarge the body and increase strength, the duration is proportional to the amount eaten.]

[Consuming more than half a can at once will have a strong laxative effect, instantly transforming the consumer into a human rocket.]

"Luckily, we got hold of these cans, otherwise this round would have been troublesome!"

Xia Hongyao sighed, then began to admire Lin Baici, Gu Qingqiu, and San Miyairi’s deductive abilities, especially Little Linzi.

While in prison, she had heard that it was contraband strictly banned by the Madam, but she thought nothing of it. Yet, when Lin Baici heard it over the phone, he immediately thought of securing some, his thought process was terrifyingly meticulous.

Fifteen minutes later, the battle ended.

Faced with a field of minion corpses, Wu Hongfu smiled and reported to Lin Baici, "Mission accomplished!"

"Can we go search for the BOSS now?"

Xia Hongyao was eager to try.

"Let’s first sweep this level and eliminate any hidden dangers!"

Lin Baici hadn’t forgotten, the oracle had hinted that three items were needed to kill Madam Oliver.

"Moving as one group is too slow, why not split up?"

San Miyairi suggested.

Zeng Shuang and the others wanted to curse upon hearing this because they knew they wouldn’t be grouped with Lin Baici.

"Alright, let’s split up!"

Lin Baici looked around: "Wu Hongfu, Wang Qing, take your teams. Fish Uncle, could you team up with Eri-chan?"

"Alright then, at least I got paired with a Dragon Level!"

San Miyairi gave Lin Baici a sidelong glance, unclear if it was a compliment or a jab.

Nevertheless, the Sakura Girl didn’t complain.

She had the courage, having traversed various God’s ruins and contaminations alone before meeting Lin Baici.

"I’ll team up with my schoolmate, Red Medicine, you pair up with Small Fish, Ying Zhen, and Yintong."

Gu Qingqiu arranged.

Hua Yue Yu and Kim Myungjin wanted to team up with Lin Baici, but they didn’t want to be seen as a burden, so they gave up.

"Hurry up, meet back here in an hour!"

Gu Qingqiu clapped his hands, urging everyone.

"Let’s go, let’s go!"

Xia Hongyao called out to her teammates, leaving excitedly.

Lin Baici looked at the high ponytail, speechless: "Are you sure she’ll catch on to your kind intentions?"

Gu Qingqiu’s grouping was essentially to ensure that Xia Hongyao’s group focused on self-defense while he and Lin Baici searched for clues, but evidently, the high ponytail had different thoughts.

"It would hurt her pride too much to say it outright!"

Gu Qingqiu sighed, "So, Lin Schoolmate, we have to hurry!"

Everyone dispersed, marking the walls to avoid getting lost.

Following his sense of hunger, Lin Baici chose a hallway, opening doors one by one, glancing inside briefly. If locked, he’d smash it open with a pipe wrench.

With Lin Baici’s brute force, no lock could withstand his assault.

After a half-hour, having opened over fifty rooms, he found no valuable clues.

Fortunately, Lin Baici and Gu Qingqiu were mentally resilient and not at all discouraged.

"What do you think those three items might be?"

Gu Qingqiu turned a doorknob.

Click!

Finding the door unlocked, Gu Qingqiu pushed it open, only to be engulfed by an abyssal darkness, like a midnight tide, drowning her.

Gu Qingqiu immediately halted and reached out for Lin Baici.

"I’m here!"

Lin Baici responded quickly, "Don’t make a sound!"

Hearing his voice, Gu Qingqiu was sincerely moved, for in such an environment, if an enemy was present, the speaker would likely attract their attention and be the first target of attack.

Gu Qingqiu was sure Lin Baici was aware of this risk, but he was willing to take it for her.

Ah!

If this continues, she just might fall for him.

A smile crept onto Gu Qingqiu’s lips, the feeling of being cared for,

was wonderful!

"Is there no door beside you?"

Gu Qingqiu felt around her surroundings but found nothing.

"Nope!"

Lin Baici moved forward: "Don’t move, give me your hand!"

In the pitch darkness, unable to see a thing, Lin Baici groped around but couldn’t find Gu Qingqiu.

Evidently, their positions had changed.

"Don’t use the pine wood torch, or you might not find it again!"

Gu Qingqiu reminded him, "I have magnesium rods!"

She pulled out a keychain, which had two key-shaped magnesium rods. Before she could strike them with a knife, Lin Baici spoke up.

"I tried, but no sparks came out!"

Lin Baici analyzed, "Looks like in this room, no light source can be lit!"
