"Is this really a gift for me? How can I be so embarrassed..." Although Zongjia said this, his body had already honestly taken the two golden puffer whales handed to him by Guan Liyuan.

"Boss Zongjia! This is a detoxified puffer whale worth 25 million. If there are two... it's rounded to 100 million!" The bald younger brother said on the side.

"Detoxified? This golden light is after detoxification? Isn't it said that the more poisonous the things are, the brighter they are..." Zongjia asked in confusion.

"Huh? The detoxification sign of puffer whales is that they will emit golden light! This is common sense..." The bald younger brother said with disdain.

"Really? Hahaha... I was just testing you. You are worthy of being my friend, Zongjia, who can actually detoxify puffer whales..." Zongjia laughed dryly.

The short-haired younger brother was already in front of Guan Liyuan, bowing 90 degrees and said: "Boss Guan, please accept me!"

"Asshole! Don't betray so quickly! Hey!" Zongjia said angrily.

Not to mention the noisy trio, Liu Maoxing was also being interviewed by Tina at this time - the living golden puffer whale. In the original animation, Tina was obviously brave enough to fight, fight and take risks, but she always failed to make headlines. This time, she was lucky.

Although Tina had been chased out by a group of "level 5 monsters" led by Zongjia not long after she entered the cave with Alu and others, she got the headlines because she had been waiting outside - the birth of a living poisonous puffer whale!

Therefore, she also obtained the live broadcast approval from the station director and was conducting a live broadcast interview...

Liu Maoxing was experienced in facing the camera. Although Tina herself was a little nervous, Liu Maoxing, as the interviewee, was able to bring the rhythm into the state.

In addition, not long after, an IGO helicopter rushed over, and a group of guys dressed like men in black and sunglasses came down...

Tina's live broadcast had also ended at this time. Although Tina still wanted to visit the meeting between IGO and Liu Maoxing, the people of IGO blocked the scene.

"Are you Mr. Liu Maoxing, who is detoxifying these puffer whales?" The leading "man in black" walked quickly to Liu Maoxing.

Although he asked in a questioning tone, he had actually confirmed this.

After the live broadcast of the detoxified puffer whales came out, IGO quickly confirmed the identities of Liu Maoxing and Guan Liyuan - there was a record of this when they were given "food IDs" at the research institute of Santu Road.

"Yes, is IGO also interested in the detoxified live puffer whales?" Liu Maoxing said.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am Youhanes, affiliated with the IGO Development Bureau, and I am the director of the Food Opening Department." Youhanes said seriously.

"Hello, Mr. Youhanes." Liu Maoxing shook hands with him.

"First of all, regarding these six puffer whales, just now in the live broadcast, you said you wanted to auction them, right? If possible, we at IGO would like to reserve four of them first, and the price can refer to the auction price..."

Youhanes was halfway through his speech when he was interrupted by Guan Liyuan on the side: "Ahem! The price is negotiable!"

"You are Mr. Guan Liyuan, right? In fact, I came here for another purpose this time..."

"Wait, let's talk about the price first." Guan Liyuan interrupted again.

Youhanes: ...

Didn't you say "negotiable"! Youhanes roared in his heart.

"That's right, as for the price..." Youhanes didn't want to dwell on it, anyway, IGO was rich.

"As for the price, we won't cheat you. First of all... if it is a dead and detoxified puffer whale, it should be 25 million in this season, right? And our puffer whale is just one more life than 25 million." Guan Liyuan said.

"What does Mr. Guan mean?" Youhanes thought Guan Liyuan was easy to talk to.

However, Guan Liyuan immediately broke his fantasy...

"And life... is priceless!" At this moment, Guan Liyuan's face was about to overflow with holy light.

Youhanes:...

"Ahem, as far as I know, although it is the first time to extract the venom sac alive, if you just want to keep the fish body intact, many knife masters can do it." Youhanes couldn't bear it anymore and decided to lower the price. In fact, this kind of puffer whale is only of research value to them, not really used for cooking.

"But this is still the 'only' finished product of extracting the venom sac from the puffer whale alive! And... In fact, you can't buy priceless things with money, so I think we can exchange some trading categories, such as... using the admission qualification to the igo reserve." Guan Liyuan revealed his true intention.

"This... Actually, I came here this time for another purpose, that is, igo hopes to recruit the two of you to join. If you agree, in the future, whether you enter the reserve or want the ingredients in the reserve, you can be given priority when they are available." Youhanes said.

"We have already registered as gourmet hunters and chefs in igo, right?" Guan Liyuan asked back.

"No, I mean... as a direct employee of igo." Youhanes said.

"I mentioned this before when we were on the Three Paths Road, but we still have no such intention now." Guan Liyuan declined again.

"Oh, okay... what about Mr. Liu? If you join, you will be the chef of the igo-affiliated seven-star hotel managed by Chef Makara who will retire in three months. In addition, there will be Melk Kitchen Knife, and..."

Youhanes quickly excluded Guan Liyuan, and then began to win over Liu Maoxing - it seems that he cared more about Liu Maoxing from the beginning!

"Thank you very much for igo's kindness, but Liyuan and I have the same idea." But Liu Maoxing still refused - after all, he is still in the "being kept" stage.

However, in this way, Youhanes said that non-direct employees of igo are prohibited from entering the protected area. Although the "living golden puffer whale" is used as an exchange, after contacting the headquarters, it only agreed to open up the entry qualifications of Liu Maoxing and Guan Liyuan to the No. 5 to No. 8 protected areas.

There are also restrictions on entry time each year, and excessive killing is strictly prohibited, hunting of endangered species is strictly prohibited, hunting must be accompanied by a specialist, and an audit is required after hunting... and other conditions.

Guan Liyuan agreed very easily, and then... he took out the GT robot!

"This, this is..." Youhanes certainly knew this thing.

"I found it in there. Do you think this thing should be auctioned as well?" Guan Liyuan asked deliberately.

"No, this is a special contraband and needs to be handed over to IGO!" Youhanes said.

"Wait, this is my prey, it is protected by the Eight Laws of Gourmet Food, and even IGO has no right to directly requisition it." Guan Liyuan corrected.

"This isn't a food ingredient..."

Crack!

Before Youhanes could finish, Guan Liyuan bit off a piece of the GT robot, with sparks flying from his mouth.

"It smells so good!" Guan Liyuan said as he chewed.

Youhanes: ...

In the end, Youhanes had to contact the headquarters again to grant Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing access to the No. 2 to No. 4 protection zones.

"Pah, pah, pah!" Guan Liyuan spat out a mouthful of metal crumbs.

Although Youhanes wanted to curse after seeing this - who said "it smells so good" just now? But considering that his small body was not as strong as the GT, he had to give up in frustration...
