Chapter 150 Mina Discovers the Truth (Fourth Update)
Mortilan took a female crocodile from the spoils, along with the 806 crocodile eggs that averaged 6 kilograms each, and ordered Mina to pack them up and send them to Zuo Shan, along with the female reindeer she had just acquired from the family farm using merit points.
Mina said with some difficulty, "Sir, what if Miss Zuo refuses to accept so many things you've suddenly sent over?"
Last time she delivered the mutated wild boar meat, but as soon as she put it down, a tornado appeared and she ran away, giving Zuo Shan no chance to refuse. Is she going to drop everything and run away again this time?
Her words caused Mortilan to worry. The mother reindeer was supposed to be the wet nurse that her adoptive father had given to his adopted son. What reason could they use this time?
The woman wasn't the type to take advantage of others. If she received too many gifts, it would be a heavy burden for her, and she would always be thinking about how to repay his kindness.
He thought about it carefully and said to Mina, "Just tell her that you met a mercenary group at the hunting grounds and bought these eggs on the way."
These eggs have a very strong fishy smell, and nobody likes to eat them. Even if you sell them individually for 10,000 yuan a single egg, not many people are willing to buy them.
Matt negotiated a price with the seller: five thousand yuan per egg for bulk purchase, but on the condition that he buys them all, otherwise the price would be too high.
No one here knows how to cook these eggs, so I gave them all to my godson to supplement his nutrition. As for the female crocodile, she was a bonus from the egg seller. His storage space was already full of other prey, and he couldn't possibly take such a large female crocodile back with him.
Besides, this female crocodile has thick skin, so its meat must be tough and dry. We might as well give it to her, the chef; perhaps she can make something unexpectedly delicious. Next time we meet, she can share half of the finished product with us—consider it a treat we got in exchange for these eggs.”
Mina: ...
It's amazing that an adult could come up with such a reason. I wonder if Miss Zuo will accept it. But from her personal perspective, the food Miss Zuo makes is indeed worth spending a lot of money to get.
Mina piloted the high-speed fighter jet to District 48. Although Montong and his escort team had suffered serious injuries, they were also very excited.
The adults casually gave them three female crocodiles, which was half of the spoils. The skin of the female crocodiles alone could fetch a sky-high price, not to mention the delicious fourth-order mutated beast meat. They had enough cultivation resources for a whole year.
When Morti Lannister returned home, he casually gifted his grandfather a female crocodile. The old man was overjoyed; his grandson was certainly generous.
Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that his grandson had casually given Matt and Mina a female crocodile. He really didn't care about this fourth-tier trophy. If it weren't for supplementing his adopted son's nutrition, he wouldn't have led the guard team to hunt the mutated female crocodile.
Meanwhile, Mina arrived in District 48 and first paid a visit to Madam Gu, leaving the female reindeer and a year's worth of feed at her home. She also thanked her very politely, saying that she had caused her trouble.
Madam Gu's impression of Xiao Bai improved even more. Although this young man was of noble status, he cared a lot about women and children. He said he would give her a mother reindeer, and he actually did it in such a short time.
Zuo Shan, that girl, didn't suffer for nothing for him; she gave birth to the child after six and a half months of pregnancy.
That child is indeed extraordinary, a born genetic warrior, and also possesses mental abilities. She is really looking forward to the future of this family of three.
Mina put down the reindeer and, steeling herself, knocked on the Zuo family's door again.
Seeing that it was Mina through the peephole, Zuo Shan immediately opened the door and welcomed her in.
Mina had been waking up late before and hadn't had a chance to properly see what the baby looked like. Now, her curiosity was piqued, so she went to the crib to examine the baby closely.
Upon seeing this, Mina was so shocked that she covered her mouth!
After two days, the redness on Achen's face had faded, and his wrinkled little face had become much smoother. Even though he hadn't fully opened up yet, you could already see his delicate and beautiful beginnings.
Especially her rosy little mouth, her big, misty blue eyes, and the two little dimples that appear on her cheeks when she smiles—it's so captivating that you can't bear to look away once you see her.
"Miss Zuo, isn't the baby so handsome?" Mina couldn't help but praise him. No wonder the adults were willing to adopt him as their godson. She even wanted to be the baby's godmother.
Uh, no! If the adult became her godfather, she wouldn't be worthy of being her godmother, otherwise she'd be asking for a beating.
Thinking of the adult's poker face, Mina always felt like she was overlooking something, but she just couldn't remember what it was.
Never mind, let's deal with the most important thing right now.
Zuo Shan took another spatial button from Mina and couldn't help but twitch his eyelids.
She knew Xiaobai's family was wealthy, but they couldn't be this generous, could they? She casually sent out a storage button, and this one had a larger storage space than the previous one, amounting to over a thousand cubic meters.
Even though they are already friends, they can't go to this extent without any boundaries, can they?
Then she heard Mina's recitation-like explanation, and her eyes widened: "So, Xiaobai means that I should make half of the crocodile meat in exchange for 806 crocodile eggs, plus half of the crocodile meat and a whole crocodile skin?"
Is he taking advantage of her being from a remote, small town, and not knowing the value of crocodile skin?
On Earth, a crocodile skin handbag is worth tens of thousands of yuan. Even though this is a wasteland, high-quality mutated animal hides are still quite expensive. How could the mercenary group give such a large crocodile as a bonus just because Matt bought a batch of crocodile eggs?
But she really couldn't refuse these eggs, because her baby was crying for milk and was a natural genetic warrior, so supplementing his nutrition was especially important.
Zuo Shan thought about it seriously and said, "I'll accept the things. When you get back, tell your young master that I will make delicious jerky from the meat of this mutated female crocodile when the extreme cold comes."
As for its leather, I'll have someone make a few armors, and I'll turn the scraps into exquisite handbags.
"Come back and collect the finished product I made later; consider it payment for these eggs."
"Um, well, I will definitely tell the young master the truth, I promise not to miss a single word!" Mina hurriedly raised her hand as if to swear an oath.
She had originally intended to stay for a free meal, but she couldn't bear to face Miss Zuo's gaze any longer, so she hurriedly got up to say goodbye.
Zuo Shan didn't forget to let her take some vermicelli, sesame seed powder seasoning, and also gave her a bag of cassava balls to eat as snacks on the way.
Mina was thrilled. Ever since she tasted these cassava balls once, she had been longing for them. They were a hundred times more delicious than meat!
On the way back, Mina sat in the high-speed fighter jet, popping a cassava ball into her mouth every now and then. In the sweet and soft texture, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration!
She realized something was off about the baby: his eyes and his hair color—they were exactly the same as hers.
Upon discovering the truth, Mina trembled with fear while inwardly screaming like a groundhog: "No wonder! No wonder! The adults valued a pregnant woman from District 48 so much; it turns out she's carrying the adults' child!"
