Chapter 312: Uncle Snake Across the Street Has More Delicious Food at His Home
A disaster was easily smoothed over by Lin Chen's seven packs of snacks.
Duan Jibo and Duan Qi secretly wiped the sweat from their palms behind them.
Lin Chen continued to guide the seven little ghosts, and the seven little ghosts seemed to answer all the questions Lin Chen asked.
With spicy strips, everything is easy.
But as they ate bag after bag of spicy strips, both human players like Lin Chen and the Serpentine Ghost King discovered a very terrifying anomaly.
That is, the seven little ghosts were like a bottomless pit. The ground was full of food packaging bags, but they were still eating with relish, and the speed of swallowing was gradually increasing.
It used to take the kid almost ten seconds to finish a bag of spicy strips, but now he only needed five seconds to finish it, and he stared at Lin Chen again.
Their bodies are short, but their stomachs are getting bigger and bigger, and it feels like they will burst at any time if .
"Boy Chen, these kids are not right. They seem to have a huge demand for food. If you keep eating like this, when your snacks are really used up, they will definitely attack you!" Duan Jiebo whispered to Lin Chen and Duan Qi while using his mental force to form a line.
Duan Qi also noticed something was wrong. When he heard Duan Jiebo's words, he suddenly woke up and remembered his previous action of wanting to take out the cake.
She couldn't help but feel a little scared. She had only prepared a few pieces of cake. If she really gave them to these little devils, they would be consumed in just a few rounds.
It is hard to imagine what will happen then.
"It feels like they are starving ghosts. Moreover, I can sense the greed in their emotions. I have noticed this before, but don't worry, this is not difficult to solve."
Lin Chen replied.
At this time, the seven little ghosts had eaten up the spicy strips in their hands again. Seeing that Lin Chen had not taken out the spicy strips for a long time, their faces became angry.
It was as if Lin Chen owed them something.
"Uncle, where are the snacks? You're not hiding them from us, are you?"
"Uncle, you are too selfish, my mother said that selfish people are bad and they deserve to die!"
"Uncle, don't you like us anymore?"
As the children spoke, scarlet bloodshot began to appear on their eyeballs. Although their appearance did not change drastically, a hint of evil spirits could be seen coming from them.
Among them, the kid named Tiezhu even grabbed Lin Chen's wrist!
In the next yard, several players who had been watching turned pale with fright. Finally, they took a deep breath and quickly retracted their heads back into the yard.
They respect and rely on Lin Chen, but that doesn't mean they can stand up and die for Lin Chen in such a dangerous moment.
In this historical replica with a 100% mortality rate, everyone's idea is to survive as long as possible.
Lin Chen noticed these people's actions, but did not care. Instead, he focused most of his attention on the holy fire.
The greed of these little devils seemed to have no end. In just a short while, they had already contributed eighty teams of their energy to him!
"Uncle, why don't you say anything? Are you really not going to give it to us? I'm so hungry!"
Tiezhu grabbed Lin Chen's hand even harder, and his expression became ferocious, like a ghost on earth.
Seeing this, Duan Jibo and Duan Qi's faces became tense, and they began to mobilize the ghost power in their bodies, ready to fight at any time.
Things are happening to them, and if it really becomes irreversible, they will not sit idly by and wait for death.
"It's quite powerful. It's just a little ghost. This kind of power can hurt and kill the ghost king, but for me, it hardly hurts."
Lin Chen thought for a moment, then suddenly slapped the little hand that was holding his wrist.
There was a crisp sound of "Snap".
The little ghost felt pain and immediately pulled his hand back from Lin Chen's wrist.
“It hurts!”
There was surprise and anger on the kid's face, as if he had rarely been beaten like this before. At the same time, the redness and swelling on the back of his hand made him feel very painful, and his eyes were filled with tears.
"hiss!"
Duan Jibo and the other man took a deep breath, and even the Serpentine Ghost King on the opposite side had a hint of trance in his eyes.
Why does it feel like this terrifying native ghost is just like a child in front of Chen?
"If you hit me, I'll go back and tell my mother!" Tiezhu said angrily, and he seemed to have returned to his normal self, but the look he gave Lin Chen no longer had the intimacy he had before, but instead a look of anger and hatred.
"No, we must stop them, otherwise if the master's native ghost comes, something serious will happen."
Duan Jibo's eyes turned cold, and he decided to keep the little ghost here no matter what.
Just when he was about to take action, Lin Chen reached out and stopped him without even turning his head.
Lin Chen said to Tie Zhu, "Your cousin is beating you for your own good. I'll give you two more bags of spicy noodles. Stop crying, okay?"
Tiezhu looked at Lin Chen's "kind" smile , and a sense of fear inexplicably arose in his heart, as if if he said something wrong, he would immediately encounter some unimaginable terrible thing.
Even though his humanity and ghost nature have been distorted, the emotion of fear still exists.
He weakly raised his hand and said calmly, "Five... five packs."
Lin Chen smiled and said, "No problem, but we can only stop here today. I know you still want to eat, but this kind of snack is limited. Your uncle brought it back from the provincial capital. Moreover, in the provincial capital, this is a luxury that most people cannot afford."
"Really?"
“It’s so precious?”
The originally unhappy expressions of several little ghosts suddenly changed, and they all looked surprised.
"Imagine yourself, have you ever eaten anything more delicious than this before?" Lin Chen said confidently.
"It seems not."
"No, the hawthorn cake my mother made for me seems to be more delicious than this." This was the voice of Wang Xiao's little girl.
"Bah! How can that hawthorn cake compare with this delicious food? It's spicy and numb, and it still smells delicious in my mouth!" Tiezhu said this after he just received five packs of spicy strips and heard Zhengui immediately put the spicy strips into his arms.
“It turns out that the food we eat is very precious.”
Several children started chattering.
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Of course, this is the food that the emperor used to eat. After you eat this, you will immediately become different from other children in the village. You will all have seen the world."
When the seven children heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up, especially Tiezhu, who was holding five bags of spicy strips, whose face showed a kind of smug pride.
“So in order to ensure that you can eat spicy strips every day, you must never tell anyone about what happened today, otherwise other kids will eat up your uncle’s spicy strips and you will have nothing to eat. And that’s all for today. I will give you a new type of spicy strips tomorrow. You must learn to eat them slowly and steadily. If you eat them all in one go, you will have no more spicy strips to eat in the future.” Lin Chen coaxed.
Duan Jiebo understood what Lin Chen meant when he saw this. He didn't know the amount of spicy strips Lin Chen had in stock, but he knew it was definitely limited and could not withstand these kids eating them endlessly.
They could only adopt a roundabout method and delay it for as long as possible. After all, they came to the village to find the truth. After finding it, they could withdraw at any time and then they would be able to get rid of all this.
"Your uncle Chen is right. If you eat everything today, what will you do if you are hungry again tomorrow? Go home quickly." Duan Jiebo said cheerfully.
"Uncle Goudan, but we are still very hungry."
Duan Jibo almost stumbled over when he heard the call of Uncle Goudan. He couldn't help but roll his eyes at Lin Chen before smiling at the other kids, "Your bellies are already bulging. If you keep going like this, you'll all grow into the same size as me, your uncle. Do you think your uncle is good-looking?"
"It doesn't look good!" said the seven little ghosts in unison.
“…”
Duan Jibo inexplicably felt a trace of sadness in his heart. Although he was the one who caused the incident on purpose, being told by seven little devils at the same time that it was ugly had already dealt a serious blow to his self-esteem.
"In that case, you guys go back and have some rest, and come back tomorrow." Duan Jiebo said. He suppressed the sadness in his heart and wanted to send the little ghosts away quickly.
However, the seven little ghosts shook their heads in unison and returned to their original state.
"No, we still need to eat."
"Yeah, I can't control it. I feel so hungry."
"Uncle, give us some more food."
Some of them were craving for it, some looked as if it was a matter of course, but their intentions did not change at all, and they were still obsessed with Lin Chen's spicy strips.
"Boy Chen, is there any other way? If we go on like this, the situation will get out of control sooner or later. Ghost power is already emerging from these little ghosts." Duan Jiebo said.
Lin Chen didn't answer him, but suddenly pointed at the Snake Ghost King who was lying on the wall opposite and said, "It seems that your Uncle Snake's family across the street has brought back several large boxes, which are full of delicious food, even better than spicy noodles!"
The Snake-Pattern Ghost King originally looked like he was enjoying the show, but his expression suddenly changed when he heard these words. At the same time, the little ghosts turned around and looked at the Snake-Pattern Ghost King with green eyes.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, there is nothing in my house!" The Snake-patterned Ghost King was anxious, he also realized that something was wrong with the little ghosts.
It doesn't matter if he gives them some food, he has a lot of food brought from the horror world, but the amount is limited and can't satisfy these little ghosts at all.
After all, who would carry a bunch of useless snacks with them for no reason?
"It seems that your Uncle Snake is rather stingy." Lin Chen teased.
"It's wrong to be stingy, Mom said."
"We are all from the same village, why are you unwilling to share even a little food?"
"They seem to be outsiders. My dad said that all outsiders are not good people!"
Seven little ghosts said.
"What you said makes sense. Since he is unwilling to give it to you, you can go back and tell your parents that your uncle will give you the spicy strips tomorrow. The quantity is the same as today. Don't worry, your uncle is a real man and will not lie to you." Lin Chen said.
"Okay, we trust our uncle."
The ghost aura of the seven little ghosts had not completely dissipated, but their attitude towards Lin Chen had softened a lot. Lin Chen had already drawn their attention to the Snake-patterned Ghost King.
In addition, Lin Chen promised them that there would be more tomorrow, so they naturally changed their minds little by little.
