For the next two hours, the butcher and the cook didn't stop eating.

They waited until the sun was directly overhead, and it was lunchtime, before they finally stopped.

Can you imagine it?

Under the blazing sun, the two greasy, fat men, undeterred by the heat, the hardship, or the dryness of their mouths, sat with Bai Xizhu in the sun.

Sweating profusely.

He spoke with such spittle flying everywhere, and if you touched your face, your hand would be covered in sweat.

They work harder than pyramid scheme leaders, are more eloquent than real estate agents, and are more patient and persuasive than health product salespeople.

Their clothes were soaking wet, and their faces looked as if they had been smeared with oil.

I don't know if they naturally have oily skin, or if they just sat in the sun for too long and the sun made their skin oily...

Even a mouse would slip and fall if it walked past!

They are not afraid of heatstroke at all.

Even across the table, Bai Xizhu could smell the scent emanating from them.

This tangy flavor is absolutely amazing!

It's like putting sneakers you've worn for a month into a sauerkraut jar to ferment for another month, and then putting them into a stinky tofu jar to simmer for another month!

In some ways, these two fat guys are quite inspiring.

If you put your mind to the right thing, you'll definitely be among the most respected people before the end of the world.

"Now that we've said this much, you know what you need to know. Do you really think absorbing the crystal cores of superhumans will significantly enhance your superhuman abilities?"

The cook stared intently into Bai Xizhu's eyes, and seeing their empty gazes, he felt even more satisfied with his little darling.

Even if a high-level superhuman enters his courtyard, they can only be treated like a puppet and manipulated.

The chef still had high hopes for Bai Xizhu and Leng Yebai. They could reach the strength of at least a third-level superhuman just by absorbing zombie crystal cores, which could be considered as exceptional talent.

With the assistance of human ability user crystal cores, it won't be long before they become fourth-tier or even fifth-tier ability users.

When the time comes, let his little darling have a good meal, and the crystal core will enhance his and the contractor's superpowers.

Strive to break through to the ranks of fifth-tier superhumans!

Bai Xizhu glanced blankly at the cook and saw the madness in his eyes.

Under the expectant gazes of the cook and the butcher, Bai Xizhu and Leng Yebai felt a chill run down their spines.

I wonder if they're hoping Bai Xi and Zhu will come and spend their crystal cores in the future, acting as suckers by giving away crystal cores.

—I still look forward to the crystal nucleus in their minds.

"Yes, definitely! I believe I can improve my abilities and become a high-level ability user!"

Under their gazes, Bai Xizhu nodded blankly and uttered a single sentence.

The butcher and the cook looked at Leng Yebai with expectant expressions.

Leng Yebai's lips twitched slightly.

He rarely does such silly things (he wasn't referring to Xiaozhu; in fact, he thought Xiaozhu's behavior was somewhat cute and he wanted to pet her).

If someone else were to do this, he thinks it's better to just forget about it!

Naïve and brainless.

He's just so adorable!

Only small ramie can be poked!

How could he possibly be fooled by two greasy middle-aged men?

But Xiao Zhu hadn't yet broken ties with the two of them, so he could only pretend to be clueless.

"I also believe it, without a doubt."

Leng Yebai swore that this was the most shameful thing he had ever said.

"Not bad, not bad, it seems you really listened to what we just said." The cook stood up and stretched. "From today onwards, you are our true guests. You've come all this way, and it's lunchtime, so let me treat you to another meal!"

After saying that, the cook turned and went into the kitchen without waiting for Bai Xizhu and the other woman to nod.

People whose brains have been invaded by Xiao Guai's toxin will behave much more sluggishly, and he didn't expect Bai Xizhu and the other two to talk to him like normal people.

This is what he wanted.

However, the cook had just lied.

To become their true guest, one must pass one final test.

After the cook left, the butcher stall owner didn't say anything more, but just sat with Bai Xizhu and the other person in the sun.

Bai Xizhu and Leng Yebai weren't particularly afraid of the heat, but beads of sweat still rolled down their faces.

They've reached their limit.

Just as Bai Xizhu was about to lose her temper, there was a knock on the door.

"Bang bang bang!"

The person knocking on the door must be one of the cooks' own people, otherwise the pumpkin vines entwined on the wall wouldn't be so harmless.

"Cook, it should be the foreman coming back. Go open the door!"

The butcher stall owner sat on the stone bench without moving, showing no intention of opening the door.

Unless absolutely necessary, butchers and stall owners never go near that lush green.

The cook responded from inside the kitchen and quickly came out to open the door for the people outside.

The man who entered was a sturdy guy wearing blue overalls. Like all migrant workers, he had an honest face and strong, dark muscles.

His rough hands and sun-darkened face revealed his honest and simple nature.

Bai Xizhu knew very well that this person, like the cook and the butcher, had blood on his hands.

"Oh! We have guests today!"

The foreman glanced at Bai Xizhu and her companion sitting on the stone bench, and his eyes lit up slightly.

Each guest's arrival signifies that a high-level crystal core will be born someday in the future.

This means they have taken another step closer to becoming fifth-tier ability users.
