598. Badger Game or Food Trap? (2)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Hearing that Mo Fei said he was going to die, Cheng Mobai felt a bit guilty suddenly.
He looked at them with displeasure and said, “What are you talking about? Why would you die? Look at this place, this is my refining room, this is the place where I’m going to make a divine magic weapon, while you are roasting meat here? Look at what you are barbecuing? Huh? Chicken! Chicken!”
“Even if you want to roast meat, it should be at least a phoenix! If you can’t find one, at least it should be a peac.o.c.k, see what you roast, an ordinary chicken, where is your taste?” Cheng Mobai looked very angry.
Mo Fei, “…”
“Elder, we are just two b.u.mpkins from the countryside. How could we have that good taste like you?” Mo Fei said with a suck-up smile.
Cheng Mobai hummed, “Yeah, how can you compare with me? I’m the one who would refine divine magic weapons!”
Mo Fei helplessly watched Cheng Mobai who had quite good ‘taste’ take up the roasted chicken from Zheng Xuan’s hand and started to gnaw, “This roasted chicken got confiscated. And roast all the rest!”
Mo Fei, “…”
Zheng Xuan, “…”
Zheng Xuan weighed the situation, then sensible enough to go on roasting the chicken for Cheng Mobai.
Mo Fei asked cautiously, “Senior, why are you back so early? Didn’t you go get ingredients for your refining?”
Cheng Mobai said with a resentful face, “the old boy who guards the storehouse is an a.s.shole! I asked him for some ingredients, but he said he doesn’t this and that, and asked me go back to fetch them a few days later. I know he was playing at me.”
Mo Fei thought to himself, “That guy is a good person! He is the Buddha! Someone, I would burn some incense for him!”
“That guy’s really an a.s.shole!” Mo Fei said, ‘filled with indignation’.
Cheng Mobai’s mouth was stained with oil all over. “You also think that guy is an a.s.shole?”
“Of course. Any warehouse keeper is an a.s.shole!” Mo Fei said reasonably.
Cheng Mobai nodded, “You are right. Every time I asked him for ingredients, he’d yell and make a scene, the only thing he didn’t do is kneeling before me. If people don’t know, they’d think I was trying to rape his wife. Fortunately that guy has no wife, otherwise I couldn’t make myself clear even if I have a hundred mouths.”
Mo Fei, “…”
Cheng Mobai finished that roasted chicken soon, then gave Zheng Xuan an appreciated look, “Good craft!”
Zheng Xuan bowed his head and respectfully said, “You overpraise me, senior.”
Mo Fei’s brow jumped and he said to himself in the heart, “The badger game is not working. Maybe the food trap will have some effect.”
Cheng Mobai nodded, saying with regret, “Your barbecuing skill is not bad, it’s just the chicken is not good, the star source force is not strong enough.”
Zheng Xuan narrowed his eyes and said, “I will try my best to improve.”
Cheng Mobai looked at Zheng Xuan with satisfaction, “Boy, you are worth teaching.”
Zheng Xuan, “…”
Cheng Mobai looked at Mo Fei and asked, “Boy, did you read the book about magic weapon refining I gave you?”
Mo Fei nodded and said, “Yeah, reading it.”
Cheng Mobai nodded and said, “Good. If you could learn one or two of my refining abilities, you’d benefit from it for your whole life.”
Mo Fei nodded, “Yeah, sure. You could even refine divine magic weapons. To learn one or two from you, I wouldn’t have to worry even if I stop at level ten.”
Cheng Mobai smiled and said, “Of course.”
Mo Fei bowed his head, thinking, “Don’t know how many ingredients Cheng Mobai has wasted all those years. He is too powerful. The chief could only turn a blind eye. If I was like him, I would be so poor that I even couldn’t afford water to drink.”
After eating all those chicken, Cheng Mobai still felt not satisfied, so he went to the animal park to catch more than 10 peac.o.c.ks for Zheng Xuan to roast, which kept Zheng Xuan busy the whole afternoon.
“You’re back?” Yuan Yuan looked a bit surprised as he saw Mo Fei made it back.
Mo Fei collapsed onto the bed and said, “Yes! I’m back.”
“You don’t look well. What happened?” Yuan Yuan asked with some concern.
“I’m so hungry!” Mo Fei cradled his stomach, full of grievances.
Yuan Yuan looked at Mo Fei strangely, “You are level ten. You wouldn’t feel hungry even if you starve for five days.”
Mo Fei glared at Yuan Yuan, thinking: This guy really has no sympathy! I even thought he is a good person!
He bit his lip unwillingly. Zheng Xuan spent the afternoon to roast meat, while he even didn’t have a single bite! Poor him!
Yuan Yuan looked at Mo Fei, frowning, about to say something but stopped.
Mo Fei sized up Yuan Yuan, surprised, “Hey, you got promoted, you actually got promoted!”
Yuan Yuan smiled with some satisfaction and said, “Yes! Yeah! You just notice it now?”
Mo Fei, “…”
Yuan Yuan pouted, “You so lag in response. You only notice it till now.”
Mo Fei smiled with embarra.s.sment and said, “I’m sorry.”
Yuan Yuan smiled, “Thanks to your help, I was able to make breakthrough.”
“You’re welcome.” Mo Fei smiled and said. He know nothing after coming here. A lot of things, he had to rely on him.
