On the shore, Lu Wu had been casting his line for a long time, but there was still no sign of a fish taking the bait. As the wind blew by, Lu Wu began to reflect.
"It must be the fishing rod that's faulty."
As a seasoned angler, Lu Wu had no doubt about his skills.
Don't ask, the answer is simply that the equipment is subpar.
"System, can I return this item within seven days without giving a reason? The kind with shipping insurance."
Lu Wu asked with a straight face, "If the quality of the products produced by the system is not good, why can't I return them?"
【you guess.】
Dream on.
The system's dry humor made Lu Wu purse her lips.
"If it's not okay, it's not okay. Why be so fierce?"
Being a coward and unable to defeat the system, Lu Wu was just about to resign himself to his fate and put away his fishing rod when he noticed that the float had suddenly sunk a lot.
"Chirp!"
Huo Huo, who was dozing off on Lu Wu's head, suddenly opened his eyes wide.
The fish is served!
Lu Wu's inner voice was rubbing her hands excitedly. Having learned from yesterday's experience, she controlled the intensity very well this time.
Judging from the force transmitted by the fishing rod, Lu Wu knew that this time it was going to be a big fish.
"Get him up here!"
She shouted with great enthusiasm, pulling hard on the fishing rod.
It didn't pull up.
But it's impossible to get Lu Wu to give up.
"Come, beast! Come, beast!"
Lu Wu had not forgotten the principle that many beasts make a strong force.
Seeing that Lu Wu was finally willing to pay attention to them, the monsters swarmed forward, each putting all their strength into pulling on the fishing rod.
"Heave-ho, heave-ho!"
Lu Wu, who had successfully freed them, cheered them on from the sidelines.
When the beast appears, success is assured.
Ultimately, the fish in the sea could not defeat the beasts on the shore. The fishing line drew a trail of harvest in the air before falling onto the beach.
Lu Wu leaned closer.
Good news, the goods have arrived.
Bad news, this thing is another weirdo.
"These look like branches of a parasol tree? Do parasol trees grow underwater?"
That's really strange.
Judging from the freshness of the sycamore branches, they didn't look like they had been soaked in seawater for a long time; they were a vibrant green, as if they had just been broken off.
However, having learned from last night's experience, Lu Wu calmly poked the tree branch a few times.
Sure enough, this feels wrong.
Soft and fluffy, like...
"Bang!"
A wisp of white smoke drifted by, and a dramatic scene of a person appearing out of nowhere unfolded before Lu Wu's eyes.
The tree branch transformed into a beautiful young woman, who was now lying beside him, disheveled, clutching her chest and looking at him with a face full of shame and indignation.
"You, you're shameless!"
Qi Jing shouted, her whole body turning as red as a shrimp.
After spotting something shimmering among the coral underwater, she thought she had stumbled upon some treasure and decided to go and investigate.
Little did I know it was a fishhook.
She was about to leave, but somehow she grabbed the fishhook, and then her hand got stuck to it.
Immediately afterwards, the fishing hook rose to the surface, and someone began reeling in the line.
Of course, she didn't want to be hooked, so she could only struggle desperately.
Despite trying every possible method, the fishhook remained firmly hooked, leaving him unable to escape.
In desperation, she had no choice but to use her shapeshifting ability to transform into a tree trunk, hoping that the other party would treat her as ocean trash and throw her away.
Unfortunately, I was in too much of a hurry, and my mind was a complete mess.
In a moment of desperation, she transformed into a fresh sycamore tree in her own yard.
I thought I had fooled them, but they didn't play by the rules and got the upper hand.
She wasn't very skilled at this transformation technique; it looked fine on the surface, but once you touched it, it would reveal its flaws.
And that's how she got discovered.
"Uh, would you believe me if I said I didn't do it on purpose?"
Lu Wu chuckled dryly and withdrew her hand from below the other person's collarbone. Little did she know that it was the chest of a tree trunk.
No wonder it feels good.
Faced with Qi Jing, who was so angry she wanted to devour her, Lu Wu began to change the subject.
"Want to buy some? It's delicious and won't make you feel hot."
"Are you alright? If you are, then eat."
"Spring is almost here, would you like to try the first one of spring?"
The advertising slogan came out of his mouth. At this moment, Lu Wu was like a scalper soliciting customers, sparing no effort to promote his snack stall.
Lu Wu sighed inwardly.
"Nobody wants to buy your food."
Qi Jing got up, straightened her clothes, and snorted coldly, but her eyes kept glancing at the stall.
Luwu hasn't started work yet today, so the air doesn't smell sweet, and you can't tell anything from the surface.
Qi Jing, however, was very suspicious.
She didn't recall having such a person among the disciples participating in the assessment. Could it be some kind of test from their sect?
The monsters hadn't dispersed yet, and were still surrounding Lu Wu.
Despite their lazy demeanor, with some licking feet and others acting like sycophants, Qi Jing sensed danger emanating from them.
This important person's identity must be extraordinary.
Thinking of this, Qi Jing suddenly changed her mind.
"I'm a little hungry. Just make me something to eat, and I'll buy more if it's good."
Of course, even if it's just a test, if the other person's skills aren't up to par, they should still be scolded.
Things took an unexpected turn for the better, and business started coming in.
Lu Wu, who had initially looked disappointed, suddenly perked up.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The customer is king.
Lu Wu snapped his fingers, and the Glazed Fire began to work.
The sugar falls and begins to melt under high temperature, then turns into sugar threads that float to the surface.
Lu Wu intercepted it with a bamboo skewer with lightning speed, which impressed Qi Jing.
Unaware of what Qi Jing was thinking, Lu Wu was focused on making the simplest white sugar ball, which gradually took shape in her hands.
Countless fine sugar threads appear chaotic, but they are actually intertwined in a regular pattern, forming plump sugar balls.
To make up for his rudeness, Lu Wu deliberately added a dozen extra sugar grains to the other person's candy ball.
The sugar balls were translucent under the moonlight, and their fluffy appearance reminded Qi Jing of her own cat, Zuzong, which looked very soft.
The sugar threads, as thin as hair, seemed so fragile they would crumble at the slightest touch, and the scrutiny in Qi Jing's eyes vanished.
Food should be appealing in color, aroma, and taste.
Qi Jing sniffed the sweet fragrance in the air, and a sense of anticipation filled her heart.
The other party passed the tests of color and aroma.
Next, let's talk about the taste.
"Try it."
Seeing the other party's desire, Lu Wu handed it over.
Don't let its simplicity fool you; this little thing is actually a dream candy for many children in their childhood.
Just one bite, and the sweetness reached my heart.
The subtle caramel aroma is perfectly integrated into the flavor.
The sweetness of the sugar balls is very light; even though the only ingredient is sugar, they are not cloyingly sweet at all.
The sugar strands melted quickly on her tongue, and Qi Jing didn't even have time to catch them. To make the sweetness linger longer, she lowered her head and took another bite.
"Hmm."
The gentle sweetness was irresistible, and Qi Jing's mind was completely absorbed in this small space.
This little thing tastes so good!
This is Qi Jing's heartfelt sentiment, and also Ye Chi's thought.
As fellow disciples of the Rainbow Gate, he recognized Qi Jing, but had no intention of meeting her.
But life is unpredictable.
Ye Chi looked at it with his divine sense, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
