"Look at this octopus' legs, they are so thick and long, and they must swim very fast, so I'll give you 200 gold!"
"Tsk, after all this talk you're only offering 200 gold? I'll offer 250 gold!"
"It's so domineering. If it hadn't run into Li Li and the demon star boss, it might have continued to run rampant in the sea. Now it has to be licensed as a pet. I'll pay 300 gold, brothers, give it to me?"
"Hey, what are you talking about? This is a rare opportunity, the one with the highest bid wins. Let's compete fairly! 400 gold, Li Li, look at me~~"
"I wonder how you all are so rich? You must have worked hard on farming, right? I'll give you 500 gold. This is all my assets. I'm begging for a giant octopus, woooooo!"
"Li Li, do you still remember me? When you went fishing with Big Boss Yao Xing, I was sitting next to you and talked to you. Can you let me cut in line? I really want the giant octopus. I'll give you 520 gold!"
"Bah! Someone, get this guy who wants to take the backdoor out! 520 gold is nothing! I'll give you 550 gold!!!"
"570 gold, ball, don't fight with me for it anymore!"
“…”
The villagers of "Mushroom Village" showed great enthusiasm for this rare sea overlord giant octopus pet. Without waiting for Bai Li and his friends to express their opinions, they directly started bidding on the live broadcast room. The rest of the audience also gave the stage to them very considerately, and did not come out to make trouble or say anything else during the process.
At least that’s what it looks like on the surface. As for whether some people are not “Mushroom Village” villagers or even game players, but are deliberately raising the price, no one knows…
Bai Li and his friends looked at each other in silence. They didn't say "the highest bidder wins" or anything like that. According to their thinking, they could just quote a suitable price and sell the giant octopus to the first person willing to pay for it, and the matter would be over.
It's not like what's going on now, where buyers are busy organizing auctions on their own and don't think there's anything wrong with it...
The price has already been quoted at more than 500 gold coins, and it would be a bit embarrassing to call a halt at this time. A few people silently decided to let the situation develop freely. After this group of villagers came to a conclusion, they would come forward to confirm the identity of the buyer.
Fortunately, the price slowed down after it reached 550 gold. Only a few familiar viewers in the barrage were still insisting on making offers, but it was obvious that the later it got, the longer they took to consider their offers. In the end, the price stayed at a very auspicious number: 666 gold.
As if thinking of the difficult time when he had only 6666 star coins on him, Bai Li stepped forward and raised his hand to indicate that the auction of the giant octopus was over. The villager who offered 666 gold coins would obtain ownership of the giant octopus.
The auction was held in Jiang Huaibi's live broadcast room. After the result was announced, Jiang Huaibi went to have a private chat with the audience, asked for the other party's game ID, and agreed to wait for them to return to the village entrance to exchange money and goods.
After the auction, the audience, who had been holding back for a while, finally spoke.
"Huh - I'm dying of holding it in. I almost made an offer, but then I realized I didn't even enter the game, let alone gold coins, I don't even have a copper coin QAQ!"
"Well, who isn't? There were 24 million spots available, but I didn't get one. Now I can only watch live game broadcasts to get by. Looking back, the easiest spots to grab for "Your Farm" were when there were only 500 available at the beginning!"
"Brother who bought the giant octopus, after you successfully tame it, remember to take a few more photos and post them on the forum. I am a little curious about how to ride an octopus and swim around in the sea..."
"We've already got the giant octopus, so how far are dolphins, sharks, and sea turtles? I hope you guys can catch a few more giants and achieve even better results!"
"Hiss - the previous one is really bold, but I like it! I won't say more. I'm going to farm while watching the live broadcast, and try to be able to compete the next time Li Li and the others catch a sea beast!"
After Bai Li and his companions moved the giant octopus to another small fish tank for separate placement, the topic had already turned to what the next giant thing was. Bai Li felt ashamed, thinking that he had designed a gameplay of sea exploration, not a gameplay of going out to sea to catch monsters...
They were overthinking, really overthinking. They were unlucky to encounter such a big octopus.
Giant Octopus: I am unlucky to meet you guys, right? ?
Jiang Huaibi also saw the content of the barrage and muttered softly: "The audience this year is so fickle. At the beginning, they said they wanted to eat grilled octopus legs, but now they want to catch more octopuses to raise..."
Before she could finish her words, she noticed a very familiar octopus tentacle sticking out from the bow. She screamed "Ah" and jumped up in fright. She thought that the script she got today was a beating of the small one and the old one was coming. She would have to trouble Li Li and Boss Yaoxing to catch the other octopus as well.
The result is...
A broken octopus leg was thrown up from below. As the octopus leg landed on the ground, Gray Scale's voice was heard: "Boss Yaoxing, this is the octopus leg you cut off. It almost fell into the sea before, and I picked it up. Um... hehe, it can't be put back. How about we make use of it?"
This speech was perfectly picked up by the live camera and heard by the audience. At first, the audience did not react to what Gray Scale said, and their heads were full of question marks, but their eyes were fixed on the octopus leg, and their DNA moved on its own, and their saliva was secreted in their mouths. They began to imagine the taste and chewiness of the octopus leg.
"A Game on the Tip of Your Tongue."
"Grayscale has been a smart kid since he was young. He really won my heart!"
"Ah, I almost forgot that it was mealtime when the giant octopus came over. You guys must be hungry after being disturbed by it, right? Come on, eat an octopus leg to replenish your energy..."
"There are also crabs and hairtail, these two can't be forgotten! Yes, I am so greedy!"
The audience had said so, would Bai Li and the others refuse? Of course, they agreed directly and started to tinker with the late delicacy again.
Jiang Huaibi walked over and picked up the octopus leg... no, he picked it up and dragged it towards where Wen Xingyao and you were. When he arrived at the place, he handed the ingredients to the two of them and rubbed his arms silently.
My god, this octopus leg is really heavy, and it’s really big. Not to mention the six of them, I’m afraid it would be enough for another six…
However, what happened afterwards made her realize that she had underestimated their appetites. 36 crabs, three huge fat cutlass fish, and a thick octopus leg were all eaten up by six people in the next hour and a half.
The steamed crab meat is sweet and fresh, and the crab paste and crab roe inside are golden in color and rich in flavor. When mixed with steaming rice, they complement each other perfectly. You can finish half a bowl of white rice in no time.
The sauce for the braised hairtail fish was very well seasoned, and it seeped into the fish meat during the cooking process. Each piece of hairtail fish was four or five centimeters thick, and when you took a bite with your mouth wide open, you could smell the full aroma of fish meat. The shell of the fried hairtail fish was golden and crispy, and it made a "crunching" sound when you ate it. The fish meat still had the heat from frying, and although it was so hot that people jumped up and down, no one was willing to spit out the fish meat they had eaten.
As for the octopus leg that Wen Xingyao had chopped off, it was also roughly divided into three parts. One part was cut into slices and skewered on a wooden stick and grilled over charcoal, and the other part was cut into chunks and blanched, and then eaten directly with the prepared sauce. As for the last part, Wen Xingyao and You Gansei, who were fully equipped with all the necessary equipment and seasonings, turned it into a low-profile version of octopus balls.
Few people can imagine the surprise and shock in Bai Li's heart when he saw the tools used to make octopus balls. Oh my god, can this thing be made in a game?
What are you working on? He seemed to have noticed Bai Li's gaze, raised his head and explained with a smile: "This thing was made by Lao Zheng. We searched the Star Internet for information about kitchen utensils from the ancient Blue Star period for a long time. This is the first utensil that Lao Zheng has reproduced. I also specially learned the technique. I didn't expect to be able to use it so soon."
It took only three days from the time the tool was made to the time it was used. As for the "Lao Zheng" he mentioned, his real name was Zheng Yi, and he was his friend in the game.
The audience was so greedy that they almost cried: "Wow, this must be fate, the giant octopus met the octopus ball machine, it would be unreasonable if it wasn't made into delicious food and eaten!"
For a while, the comments were all about the octopus' legs. Bai Li was worried that players who bought the big octopus would feel that they were being cheated, after all, a good pet was missing a leg, so he explained: "Octopuses have a strong regenerative ability. Although it is missing a leg now, it will grow back soon. Don't worry."
Audience: "Oh, I see. It means that octopus legs are a renewable resource. Whenever you feel hungry, you can just chop off a leg and cook it?"
Bai Li: “???”
That's not what he meant, you foodies, please stop thinking!
However, the soul of the foodie was burning. Not to mention the audience who couldn't eat or touch the giant octopus, even the future owner of the giant octopus, Yi Nian Qing Cheng, was thinking about it at this time. He wondered if the octopus would be willing to cut off its legs so that he could have a bite of the freshest octopus meat after he tamed it as a pet...
