Chapter 57 I"ll Treat You to Chicken“Boy, you"re finally back. Tell me, have you got anything?”
Ding Sans.h.i.+ jumped out of nowhere and said expectantly.
Lin Beichen said, “Yes. I"ve got two.”
“Two badges?”
Ding Sans.h.i.+ was so excited that he almost jumped up and said, “Really? Show me quickly.”
“Who said there are two badges?”
Lin Beichen was speechless and said, “Look, there are two chickens, Ice Arrow Chickens. They are fat, fresh, and tender. We"ve got them for dinner tonight.”
Ding Sans.h.i.+ was stunned and immediately burst into anger and said, “You went out for the entire day and hunted two chickens?”
Lin Beichen retorted. “Or what do you think I did? I used to live a life of luxury. I reached my arms out when the clothes were prepared; I opened my mouth when the meal was ready. Now I"m able to hunt flying chickens in the wilderness. Don"t you think it"s great progress?”
What he said did make sense.
Ding Sans.h.i.+ actually did not know what to say.
“That"s right. I shouldn"t have asked too much from you. After all, you are alone. Today, even Tao Wancheng"s and Li Tao"s two large teams didn"t gain anything.” Ding Sans.h.i.+ calmed down and knew that he was in a hurry.
In the beginning, he mustn"t put too much pressure on the students.
Therefore, with an apologetic look on his face, he began to comfort Lin Beichen and said, “The Star Badges are hidden by the experts of the education department. Every place is extremely hidden. Even if you find some of them, it will not be so easy to get the badges. There are still nine days left. Take your time, don"t worry… Go to Sir Li Luoran and register your two Ice Arrow Chickens.”
“Huh?”
Lin Beichen was surprised. “Do we have to register chickens too?”
“Of course.” Ding Sans.h.i.+ said, “It"s not easy to find the Star Badges. In the past years, there were less than 20 students with any Star Badges until the end of the preliminaries. In the end, we could only select a few people by how many animals they"d hunted to make up the 20 students. Therefore, no matter how small the gain is, it"s still an achievement of you. Hurry up. Off you go.”
“Is there such a thing?”
Lin Beichen thought for a while and came to the registration desk.
“Two Ice Arrow Chickens.”
After a personal examination, Li Luoran scanned over Lin Beichen"s face and asked kindly, “Any other gains?”
Lin Beichen shook his head.
He did not intend to hand over the nine badges now.
That was because… they were of other use.
Night fell quickly.
The 100 genius students had all returned to the camp.
The square was still bustling with noise and excitement.
The camp no longer provided food, and the students had to prepare all the food needed by themselves.
Dozens of bonfires were blazing.
Everyone was lighting up a fire to make a meal.
Lin Beichen took a look at them and found that Tao Wancheng, Li Tao, and other geniuses basically had people serving them. Those people prepared all kinds of food and served. The geniuses didn"t even have to lift a finger.
Then he looked at himself.
He looked at the two dead chickens in front of him.
“Er… If I make a Beggar"s Chicken, I don"t need to peel its skin and pluck its hair, do I?”
In his mind, he frantically recalled the process in various food bloggers" videos.
Finally, to his dismay, he found that when he watched the live broadcasts on Earth, he didn"t seem to remember how to do it but only how to eat it.
It would be great if there were a cuisine recipe app in his hand at this time.
“You don"t know how to cook? Hee hee. Brother Chen, eat mine.”
A familiar voice sounded.
Ling Chen, the Daughter of Destiny with the candy girl"s personality appeared like a follower. She held a plate temporarily made with bark in her hand, which was full of various wild fruits. They looked delicious. Sitting next to Lin Beichen, she put the plate between the two of them, cupped her chin in her hands, and looked at Lin Beichen with a smile, as if there were light in her eyes.
Lin Beichen glanced at her.
What a disaster.
He almost heard the sentence “Eat mine” as “Eat me” just now.
Hmm…
This Daughter of Destiny should be in the character of the candy girl now.
This Daughter of Destiny of Cloudy Dream City not only had a split personality, but also was missing a string in her mind, wasn"t she?
There was nothing missing in her life when she was high above the ma.s.ses. Why did she have to stick to a bad boy?
At least, she was a figure at the genius level, and she would not be brain-washed by love.
Even if she had some relations.h.i.+p beyond friends.h.i.+p with the previous Lin Beichen, the atmosphere of this world was relatively open, and she would not have to marry a man if he once looked at her body.
“No, I want to eat meat.”
Lin Beichen refused directly.
A look of embarra.s.sment appeared on Ling Chen"s peerlessly beautiful face. She said, “But I usually live an extravagant life and I don"t know how to roast wild animals. I picked these wild fruits in the wild today. They are very delicious. You can try.”
Lin Beichen remained silent.
He wondered in his heart how he could make this girl with double personalities know it was difficult and retreat.
“Should I cruelly, ruthlessly, harshly… and directly refuse her?”
But at the thought of Ling Chen with the overbearing CEO"s personality, Lin Beichen became a little timid.
Ling Chen sweetly smiled again, comforted him, and said, “Brother Chen, are you unhappy because you didn"t find any badge today? It"s OK. I can give you one.”
As she spoke, she stretched out her jade-like delicate white palm.
A Star Badge, under the light of the surrounding bonfires, reflected a leaping brilliance, mysterious and beautiful.
“You…” Lin Beichen said in great surprise, “did you find two badges today?”
Ling Chen smiled, and the starlight all over the sky lost its color. She said, “Yes, I registered one. This one is specially prepared for you.”
All of a sudden, the surroundings quieted down.
The other students looked at this scene in surprise. In an instant, they wanted to die.
They had been exhausted after a fruitless day, and now they had to witness some people getting lovey-dovey. Why was the world… always full of malice?
Lin Beichen was in a bad mood at that time.
“How is this wicked woman so good at finding the Star Badges?
“I have navigation for my searching, and I only found nine in a day.
“Yet you got two after going out for a walk?
“This can"t do.”
If it went on like this, Ling Chen would dig out almost all the badges.
He might have to cut down on his plan.
Staring at the Star Badge which was close at hand and carefully looking at it for a while, Lin Beichen shook his head and refused. “I will find my own badges. Thank you for your kindness, but I don"t need it.”
Ling Chen put away the badge and said, “Oh, okay.”
Lin Beichen didn"t answer, but turned to the square and said loudly, “Who can roast these two Ice Arrow Chickens into delicious food? If you can do it, I don"t mind treating you to a chicken feast.”
On the square, there were more than a dozen unlucky people who didn"t hunt any evil beasts during the day. Hearing the words, they all became interested.
Yue Hongxiang summoned up her courage and said, “Lin Beichen, can… can I?”
She was very unlucky today. Not only did she not find Star Badges, but also her strength was greatly reduced due to the injury on her wrist and hand muscles. She did not even manage to hunt an ordinary beast. She could only watch others eat happily.
“Of course.”
Lin Beichen said, “Thank you.”
Yue Hongxiang hurriedly said, “I should thank you.”
She picked up two Ice Arrow Chickens and started to cook them skillfully.
Half an hour later, the yellow chicken, which was crispy outside and tender inside, was placed in front of Lin Beichen.
