Ch 597: Outright Betrayal

I understand. If it was Lin Da, his address changed just now.

At first, he called me Master Lin, but now, he calls me Honored Guest.

In other words, what he said when he called me Honored Guest cannot be trusted.

I sensed this food. Indeed, I felt a subtle energy fluctuation from it.

This fluctuation is very abnormal.

It seems the food cannot be eaten.

“Let’s continue to see if anything else is left behind. We must look carefully!”

I looked at Ji Xinglan. Whether we can live largely depends on Ji Xinglan’s booklet.

This is like the instruction manual in a Rule-Based Strange Tale.

What’s the point of a strange tale without instructions?

Ant and Lao Dao became a little curious, not knowing what I was talking about. I simply explained it to Lao Dao, and he finally understood.

“So that’s how it is. I never thought that this broken place would end up being connected to a Rule-Based Strange Tale, but Lin Da’s address when he spoke to you was clearly different!”

Lao Dao nodded, clearly understanding the rules.

“Master Chen, there really is. Look, it says here not to disrespect the Inspector, and you cannot defy the Inspector’s words!”

At this time, Ji Xinglan found some writing on the flyleaf.

It said not to defy the Inspector’s intentions.

When I saw this, I was a little dumbfounded. In other words, Lin Da told me that this food must be eaten. Even though I knew there would be problems after eating it, I couldn’t defy his meaning?

This is a bit too outrageous, isn’t it?

“Anything else?”

I looked at the booklet, wanting to find any clues that could be used.

“Here, it says that if you encounter something you can’t solve, you can ask the Attendant for help, but the prerequisite is that you can’t be too shabby! The Attendant will get angry!

And the Honored Guest’s money cannot be emptied!”

Ji Xinglan mentioned the rules she saw.

I know that this Attendant should be the servants who served the food earlier. As long as you give money, you can get certain rewards.

But gold is not acceptable, at least it’s silver.

Because here, gold is the lowest.

I observed Lin Da. Lin Da was saying the same thing to the other Guests at the table, warning them to eat quickly.

At this moment, a Servant came before me, looking at me with eerie eyes.

“Guest, are you satisfied with the food? Is there anything I can help you with?”

That Servant looked at me.

I thought for a moment and made a bold decision.

“In that case, please help me change the food. I’m not used to this one! This is a tip for you!”

After I finished speaking, I directly took out the servant’s tongue.

Because there is a lot of energy in this tongue.

This energy is similar to the energy of silver.

“Well, Guest, you’re too polite, you’ve given too much! I’ll change one for you right away! But, if Butler Lin asks, don’t say I changed it! My name is Lin Bin!”

Lin Bin looked at me slyly, then carefully wrapped up the tongue I gave him.

And quickly removed the food.

Quickly disappeared from my sight.

“Wow, Brother Chen, that’s awesome!”

Lao Dao was stunned seeing this.

Lao Dao didn’t expect that I could actually exchange things with a tongue.

“Uncle Chen, you can actually use a tongue as money?”

Ji Xinglan was equally shocked, convinced by my actions.

I nodded and quietly told Ji Xinglan that there was a strong energy fluctuation on these tongues.

My tongue, Wang Xu’s tongue as well.

Including the money Lin Da gave, they all have the same energy fluctuation!

Ji Xinglan blinked: “Uncle Chen, do you mean that the value of currency has nothing to do with the face value, but with the energy fluctuation on it?

Even a thing with no value like a tongue, as long as it has enough energy on it, it can be used as silver or gold!

But even high-grade currency like gold, if it doesn’t have any energy, it can’t be used here, is that right?”

Ji Xinglan asked me softly. Such a clever girl made me shocked.

Ji Xinglan is definitely the most intelligent girl I have ever met. I only told Ji Xinglan that there is energy on the currency and on the tongue.

The things just now were all deduced by Ji Xinglan herself. I didn’t give any help.

Scary, it’s really scary. If Ji Xinglan didn’t already know the inside story, then this way of thinking is really a bit outrageous.

I discovered it through the Celestial Eye, while Ji Xinglan saw it through the rules I revealed.

“Yes, at least that’s my speculation. I don’t know if this is the case.”

I nodded without denying it.

“Let’s continue to look, there should be a new hint!”

I quickly asked Ji Xinglan to open the booklet to look at the writing.

“If the Inspector discovers you bribing the Attendant, you must choose the most advantageous method!”

After Ji Xinglan finished reading, her body became weak, and I embraced Ji Xinglan.

When I touched Ji Xinglan, her body was like an electric shock, and cold sweat instantly seeped from her neck.

“Are you okay?” I quickly spoke carefully. No matter what, Ji Xinglan couldn’t have an accident now.

“I’m fine, I may have been frightened. My nerves are so tense now that I can’t bear it anymore!”

Ji Xinglan wiped her sweat. That look was truly pitiful.

I have to say, Ji Xinglan looked her best at this moment, like a lotus flower emerging from water.

Seeing that Ji Xinglan was fine, I quickly shook my head, forcing myself not to think about other things.

When I calmed down, Lin Da came.

“Honored Guest, I told you to eat this food properly!”

Lin Da’s expression became fierce, and even his face was a little green.

It looked like a zombie that could grow fangs. Fortunately, I was calm enough, otherwise, I might have screamed.

At this time, I could also intuitively feel that fear. This was the return of the Earth Soul.

I was about to speak when I remembered the hint in the booklet.

The booklet told me that when faced with accusations, I must pursue the greatest benefit.

And here, the greatest benefit is not as simple as betraying Lin Bin.

It should be to gain enough benefits from Lin Bin.

“Lin Bin told me a lot of things just now, and he even defrauded some money from me!”

After thinking, I directly said this answer.

As soon as this answer came out, Lao Dao and the others were dumbfounded.
