When Huang San'er really only had one upgrade card left, and was thinking that he should sell it for at least 1000 crystal coins—
"Lord Ferro, it's him! He's reselling advancement cards! He's breaking the rules of the competition!"
The customer who bought the card for 600 crystal coins pointed at Huang San'er and said righteously.
Behind him followed a group of people, led by Ferro.
The reason why "600 crystal coins" would cut off his own source of income and report Huang San'er is, of course, because someone offered him even greater benefits.
In the shadows, Lou Jiali watched as Huang San'er was taken away by Fei Luo's men to confront "Li Xueli," a triumphant smile playing on her lips.
At the stall, Xin Sui, who had prepared more than a dozen dishes in a row, was exhausted.
So he became a hands-off manager, only giving orders and not lifting a finger, leaving the cooking to Shui Qingqing and the others.
Shui Qingqing has a natural talent for cooking and quickly got the hang of it, doing a pretty good job.
She unleashed her supernatural power, releasing her pair of tentacles, which she used to attack from all directions.
One hand holds the meat skewers, flipping them occasionally; the other hand adds seasonings; one hand controls the fire; and the other hand collects money and packs the food.
One is worth three, absolutely amazing!
The Xin Sui year was truly breathtaking.
As for Shui Duoduo, his cooking skills are far inferior to his sister's, so Xin Sui sent him to slice fish.
His knife skills are still very exquisite; he can slice the snow-white fish meat as thin as paper, so that when you pick it up, it looks like a pair of butterfly wings.
Dip it in the sauce, and a delicious sashimi dish is ready.
Li Beibei, who was squatting in the corner cleaning and scaling fish, looked at Xin Sui with a mournful expression and said, "Fifth Sister, I want to cook too."
Xin Sui: "No, you don't want to."
She did give Li Beibei a chance.
But after she made two disastrous dishes, how could she let her waste her ingredients?
Killing and scaling fish is her best destiny.
Xiaoming ate the meat grilled by Shui Qingqing and the fish sliced by Shui Duoduo, but he wasn't very satisfied, feeling that they were far inferior to what Xiaoli made.
But Xiaoli was tired, and he didn't dare to force her to keep cooking for him.
After the helpers had become proficient, Xin Sui took out a recliner and lay down.
Petting the leopard in my arms, eating barbecue and drinking juice, I couldn't be more relaxed.
The small box next to it already had a lot of crystal coins piled up.
She stuck her hand in, grabbed a handful, and poured it back down.
The crystal coins clinked together, producing a crisp sound that was simply the most beautiful melody in the world.
Shui Qingqing's grilling speed is far slower than Xiaoming's eating speed.
The new round of barbecue wasn't ready yet, and Xiaoming was getting impatient. He said to Xin Sui, "Xiao Li, I'm going to go wander around somewhere else. I'll come back later."
"Go ahead," Xin Sui waved his hand.
Not long after Xiaoming left, Ferro arrived with his men, and with a serious, businesslike expression, said to Xin Sui:
"Li Xueli, someone has reported you for reselling advancement cards and violating the competition rules. Come with me."
Xin Sui immediately put the money box into his spatial storage and got up from the recliner.
She glanced at Huang San'er, who lowered his head in shame.
He didn't want to reveal the Goddess of Wealth, but if he didn't, Lord Ferro would send people to search him and check his crystal cards.
His crystal card contains a lot of shady content, so it absolutely must not be seen.
So he had no choice but to confess and accept leniency.
Shui Qingqing looked over with concern, and Li Beibei stood up, holding the knife.
Shui Duoduo remained calm.
Xin Sui patted the leopard and nodded to the three of them: "It's okay, I'll be right back, you can go do whatever you need to do."
She carried Leopard and followed Ferro to the office on the first floor.
Huang San'er and the whistleblower were also brought in.
However, the two were not allowed to enter Ferro's office; instead, they waited outside.
Xin Sui glanced around Ferro's office, showing no sign of tension, as if he were a guest visiting the office.
Ferro poured her a glass of water in a beautiful, brand-new tortoiseshell cup.
"Miss Li, actually reselling upgrade cards isn't a big deal."
“If it hadn’t come to my attention, I could have pretended not to see it, but now that someone has reported it, I have no choice but to deal with it.”
Xin Sui looked at him with some surprise.
Ferro chuckled: "The food festival competition may seem grand and impressive, but it's really just a game we all play with Xiaoming to make him happy."
"Your behavior is actually in line with the original intention of the competition, but over time, the participants have forgotten this and have started to see themselves as the protagonists of the game."
"In order to avoid widespread dissatisfaction and protests, I had no choice but to bring you here. Please forgive me."
When Xin Sui came out of the office, Huang San'er looked over immediately.
Seeing her serious expression, he became even more flustered.
"You may go in."
After Xin Sui finished relaying the message to Ferro, he sat down in the chair and buried his face in the leopard.
I was afraid I would laugh out loud.
She was perfectly fine inside and even took a rather interesting look at Ferro's collection.
But in public, one must, of course, put on an act as if one has been reprimanded and punished.
Huang San'er was truly criticized and educated. He made a sincere promise inside and paid a fine before being released.
The whistleblower was left until the very end.
"Tell me, why did you report Huang San?"
Ferro sat down behind his desk and pressed on the white jade lion ornament on it.
The white jade lion blinked and transformed from a decorative piece into a living creature, stepping through the air to stand before the whistleblower and sniffing him.
Without a doubt, this white jade lion ornament is a spirit seed (a general term for spiritualized objects).
