Chapter 1313: Chapter 415: Hunger and Thirst Duel_3
But he still looked at the screen.
Martina, tall like a lady knight, had presented herself like Beijing roast duck... crispy.
Evidently, Martina who chose to go to Pig the Second’s house at that time... didn’t fare well.
And the sound of the gourmet’s footsteps slowly echoed:
"Gentlemen, welcome to join me in tasting today’s dinner. I am the chef, and you can call me the gourmet."
The gourmet spread his arms wide.
Looking at Martina, crispy on the outside and tender inside, Reid, who had experienced various brutal wars, still felt the urge to vomit when witnessing the scene so directly.
But the eerie part lies here.
[You are now very hungry, unusually hungry. And the gourmet’s food, you find it hard to refuse. The gourmet’s food can bring a sense of happiness, driving people to offer everything in pursuit of it.]
On the silver dish, lay the erstwhile adventurer.
And as the rules appeared, Reid began to feel insanely hungry again.
The gourmet said:
"Tonight’s dinner is divided into sashimi and cooked food."
"I’ve already prepared the cooked food for you all, trust in my control over the art of grilling."
"But the sashimi ingredients, I still haven’t found them, I think only the two of you can provide them for me."
"Next, please join me in tasting the cooked food."
Reid roughly guessed that the sashimi... could it be himself and Wen Xishu?
He started to think, consuming the gourmet’s food would make him controlled by the gourmet. Next, if the gourmet directed him to mutilate himself, gouge flesh from his body, he would likely comply.
After realizing all this, he began to resist the feeling intensely.
But admittedly, Martina... smells quite good.
That scent made Reid start to salivate furiously.
Not far away, the gourmet had already begun to separate a piece of greasy roast meat with a dining fork and put it into his mouth.
Wen Xishu was not as resistant, he contentedly sniffed the aroma of the roasted meat and said:
"This is truly premium meat, but eating it so directly is blasphemy against your culinary creation, Mr. Gourmet. Do you never cleanse your palate? Such a waste."
The gourmet was somewhat curious:
"What do you mean?"
Wen Xishu said:
"In my hometown, there’s a type of chilled drink like national cellars, taking a sip only feels incredibly delicious, but if you drink it directly, the essence is unnoticeable."
"Many people think adding ice is the essence, but the essence is that you must first let yourself sweat, tire yourself out, experience an intense exercise. When you feel fatigued and drenched in sweat, taking a sip will bring explosive happiness."
"Mr. Gourmet, you might know how to cook but not to eat, you should start with a sip of this."
Wen Xishu decisively took out a glass bottle, poured a cup of water for himself and the gourmet.
Reid’s eyes widened:
"This... no, give it to me! This is too precious, don’t waste it!"
Reid reacted quite quickly.
He suddenly understood Wen Xishu’s previous actions, thus began to cooperate with Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu didn’t forget those words.
[Next, the gourmet who has an extreme pursuit and curiosity for food will prepare a sophisticated dinner, awaiting your hunger.]
He kept thinking, if he couldn’t kill the ghost, what method should be used to drive the ghost away?
Pig the Third made him realize that ghosts dare not fight ghosts, so the best method is to use one ghost to fight another.
And the gourmet has an extreme pursuit and curiosity for food.
These two things are sufficient to make the gourmet lower his guard.
The solution lies hidden within the problem.
The gourmet indeed fell for it:
"This... what is this?"
Wen Xishu said:
"This is something that can enhance any food’s flavor a hundredfold. Once you drink it, you’ll find that you hadn’t truly understood food before."
The gourmet gazed at the exquisite glass bottle, convinced it should contain some sort of fine wine.
He also knew that some foods are best preceded by others for their flavors to be brought to the extreme.
As if red wine drizzled over foie gras would elicit magical reactions.
Wen Xishu very gentlemanly extended his hand, inviting the gourmet to taste first.
The gourmet was quite pleased and curious; he didn’t hesitate, decisively picked up the glass, and drank the water in one gulp.
But soon, he made a strange expression:
"How come this seems... just ordinary tap water? And there’s even a rusty taste?"
Wen Xishu remained silent.
Honestly, he wasn’t absolutely confident this time; if it failed, then perhaps he’d face a deadly reset.
Seeing Wen Xishu’s expression turn serious, the gourmet seemed to realize something, feeling he’d been tricked.
At this, Reid also held his breath, uncertain of what would transpire next, or if they’d face the gourmet’s wrath.
The gourmet felt his exquisite stomach had been polluted:
"You actually made me drink such filthy stuff!"
His fury was immense, but in the next moment.
He found himself unable to speak as hair began to seep from his mouth.
That familiar, mournful Cantonese tune appeared once more in Wen Xishu’s ears.
A blue figure, before long, had tightly entwined itself around the gourmet.
In this instant, Wen Xishu knew he made the right decision!
Reid also excitedly jumped up, realizing that the intense hunger had vanished.
This indicated the gourmet had suffered heavy damage, its rule had also been disrupted.
More and more hair tightly enveloped the gourmet, and he began to gnaw at the hair, the two monsters started attacking each other.
But ultimately, the gourmet whose innards were pierced by the hair seemed to succumb first.
The Stone in Wen Xishu’s heart finally settled, surely this round earned him quite a bit of credit?
