Chapter 458: After the Luck Was Stolen, the Survival Game Came
Yan Xining remained silent, and Situ Feng was so anxious that he pinched her shoulders with both hands and shook her gently.
"Did you hear what I said, Ningning?"
Yan Xining, who was thinking, was almost interrupted by Situ Feng's shaking.
She struggled impatiently and escaped Situ Feng's control.
"I heard."
"Then reject him immediately?"
Seeing that Yan Xining's mind was loosening, Situ Feng prepared to make further efforts.
"But... he's right, we do need a food taster right now!"
Yan Xining avoided Situ Feng's gaze and explained to him in a somewhat depressed tone.
"After all the commotion just now, most of the players in the group are just watching, and most of them don't believe what we say. Whether it's now or in the future, as long as we want to exchange the dishes made by Master Shiyi with the players, we will always face this situation."
"Then why not just not change it? Anyway, this thing is so valuable, it doesn't matter if there are no purification and protection items!"
Situ Feng always felt that Yan Xining was too kind. If this thing was so good, why should she give it away for exchange?
Of course it’s because there’s something wrong with these dishes!
Yan Xining was choked by Situ Feng's matter-of-fact words and responded silently in her heart.
She wanted to directly agree to the player who had just initiated the transaction, but Situ Feng didn't leave and stared at her movements, as if he was really afraid that she would be cheated by others.
Yan Xining was speechless and could only hypocritically persuade Situ Feng.
When she raised her head again, she immediately looked like she was about to cry.
"Brother Feng, do you want everyone to think we are liars?"
"I have already said that we will auction it off. Now we are backing off and letting others scold us. We cannot prove ourselves, so they will think that our lies have been exposed, so we dare not show up again!"
"Do you remember how many people stood on our side just now? Do you want to see us being called liars every time we speak? And... don't you still want to control the entire Situ family? Do you think the elders of the Situ family are willing to accept an heir with a bad reputation?"
Yan Xining sobbed softly, but that did not stop her from crying out loud.
Situ Feng was stunned. The complacency he had felt when he learned about the magical effects of the dishes made by Master Shiyi was long gone. He instantly remembered the previous criticism meeting held by the family.
At that meeting, the family elders gathered in District 167 attacked him in unison, almost without exception, one after another, they criticized him harshly.
The meeting lasted for two hours. He couldn't remember how long it was, but criticizing him alone took up more than half of the time.
Moreover, all the younger generations and peers of the family in District 167 were present in that meeting, listening to everyone scolding him, even his uncontrollable sister Situ Xuan, whom he had always looked down upon.
He had never suffered such severe criticism since his appearance until now, and he almost wanted to faint on the spot.
If they could only communicate through a screen and couldn't see each other face to face, who knows how withdrawn he would be now.
"no!"
Recalling the nightmarish and painful memory at that time, Situ Feng said decisively.
"No way, we are not liars, we can't let them slander us like this!"
Yan Xining looked at Situ Feng coldly, her eyes full of sarcasm.
See, Situ Feng is also a selfish person!
He can ignore her orders, but he must protect his face!
As long as she brought up the issue of reputation, Situ Feng would agree without saying anything more. She had seen through this man.
What's more, after going through the last criticism meeting, Situ Feng is now like a hopeless person.
He doesn't know how to fight or compete, he just keeps to himself, and needs her comfort for a long time before he can continue to be active.
"Okay, let him be our food taster!"
Situ Feng took the initiative to speak, and his tone seemed to be superior.
Yan Xining was too lazy to pay attention to him and started replying to the message.
[Yan Xining: Half of your wealth? You've already prepared to give everything to other people, and just give us some at the end? ]
Although she could agree to the other party's request, she had to show an attitude.
[XX: Even if someone has the purification and protection items you requested, they are definitely very rare, and the group of players who fought alongside me against the pollution beasts definitely don’t have them! ]
[XX: If you want to prove that Master Shiyi's dishes have miraculous effects, we, a group of contaminated players, are undoubtedly the best choice! And I... am willing to take the initiative and give away my entire fortune, which is definitely your best choice! ]
[XX: Picture.jpg, the backpack contains all my supplies, I will tell you everything directly, you can consider it! ]
Yan Xining clicked on the long screenshot sent by the other party and frowned slightly.
The other party did not have the special props she requested, but they were comprehensive in all aspects and in large quantities. It could be seen that they were all the supplies for an upper-middle-level player.
The other party must have been ruthless.
[Yan Xining: To be honest, although you have more abundant and comprehensive supplies, the value is still far behind the dishes made by Master Shiyi...]
Under the guidance of his elder brother, the man who was leaning on the bed nervously sent three messages and waited for Yan Xining's reply.
After waiting for a long time, someone finally showed up, but this was the message I got.
"What do you think she meant by this? Is what they said true? Can Master Shiyi's dishes really eliminate spiritual pollution?"
The man looked at his elder brother in surprise, and his previous skepticism was no longer as firm.
He is willing to take the initiative to be a food taster.
Although he did get a bargain, he was also right. If they wanted to continue the auction successfully, they had to come up with convincing evidence!
He had made it so clear, but the other party acted unconventionally and rejected him.
Unless... Master Shiyi's dishes are really that valuable, they feel they are losing out.
The two brothers looked at each other and reached a consensus.
"What should I do, brother? According to what she said, wouldn't that mean we have to go bankrupt? And going bankrupt is not enough, we have to be heavily in debt. What's the difference between this and waiting to die? But one is dying of illness, and the other is dying of starvation? Do I really have to wait to die?"
The younger brother looked at his older brother with confusion and despair in his eyes.
Yan Xining said that the difference was too great. One person's wealth was not enough. His brother's wealth was about the same as his, so naturally the two of them were not enough...
He doesn't have that many supplies, so is he really just going to wait for death?
"What are you talking about, silly brother? Mental pollution doesn't necessarily mean you'll die! If you don't shout that you and Song Li are lifelong friends, he's still alive and well. Why are you worrying about that? If anyone should be worried, it should be Song Li who should be worried first!"
Seeing the despair in his brother's eyes, the older brother pretended to be nonchalant and scolded him a few words, trying to ease his brother's tense mood.
But his silly brother was indeed easy to coax. After hearing this, he looked over eagerly. The man had nothing to say and could not help but curse a few words angrily.
"Fuck! This woman is pushing her too far! Master Shiyi's dishes are precious, but they can never be this precious! She is just taking advantage of the fact that they met Master Shiyi first, so she is asking for such a high price!"
Lu Hansheng was willing to offer the rosemary, but Yan Xining and the others actually felt that their brother's entire fortune was still far from enough!
"...Keep her calm first, and try to find out what they want. And by the way, ask around to see if you can find out how they got Master Shiyi to cook the food himself..."
The eldest man took a deep breath, thought for a few seconds, and then explained to his younger brother.
The identity of Master Shiyi is a master, which belongs to everyone, but he is not a chef exclusive to them.
Since they can gain the favor of Master Shiyi, maybe they can do it too.
Wouldn't it be better if they could eliminate spiritual pollution without having to sacrifice their entire fortune?
The man pondered slowly, clicked on the light screen, and prepared to go to the trading stall to see if he could exchange it for Master Shiyi's information.
"Hey...wait a minute, bro, the other side agreed!"
Just as he was about to move, the man shouted.
I saw several new messages pop up on the screen in front of my brother.
[Yan Xining: But you are the first person willing to trust us. As a thank you, we are willing to give you a discount. You just need to hand over your supplies! ]
[Yan Xining: Correspondingly, we hope that you can do a good job as a food taster and express your true feelings. We don’t want our kindness to be taken for granted! ]
