Chapter 216 Young Master Bai Loses Face!
Zuo Shan dared not sell the low-radiation wild vegetables on the forum, fearing it would cause a huge uproar, since the medium-radiation wild vegetables were being sold in extremely cold weather.
Even if hers is fresher than others, it can be explained by the seller having a high preservation space button, and no important person would bother to investigate her identity and background.
However, if she openly sells low-radiation wild vegetables in large quantities, driven by huge profits, her identity may not be able to be kept secret.
At that time, even Old Madam Gu might not be able to protect her.
Zuo Shan decided to give some to Xiao Bai. She owed him too much. Although she couldn't pay him back in a short time, she would pay him back little by little.
Thinking of this, she sent a message to Xiaobai: "My plantation has had a bumper harvest. I'd like to send some fresh wild vegetables for you and Mina to try. I wonder if you'll have time to come over recently?"
After sending the message, she belatedly realized a problem: she had known Xiaobai for so long, yet she didn't even know which district he lived in!
But I suppose it can't be too far away, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to come so readily when she gave birth and when the baby celebrated its one-month anniversary.
When Mortilan Shield, who had just returned from a fierce battle with a herd of mutated walruses on the Nether Coast near District 10, saw this message, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile.
Since that woman had registered as a member of the Ninth Forum, she could have easily listed the wild vegetables she couldn't finish for sale on the forum, but instead she chose to save them for him to eat.
It seems that she still values Xiaobai as a friend.
As Ah Chen's godfather, he was willing to maintain a good relationship with the mother and son so that when Ah Chen grew up and his superpower level was high enough for the family members to value him, he could persuade her to let the baby return to the family.
Thinking of this, he beckoned to Matt: "Did we harvest any edible low-level sea beasts on the Nether Coast this time?"
"You allowed me to collect all sea beasts below the fourth rank, so I simply took them and exchanged them for silver coins with nearby mercenary groups."
However, while dealing with a mangled sixth-tier walrus, I found more than a dozen undigested second-tier red silk fish inside its stomach.
It is said that the flesh of the red ribbonfish is tender and boneless, and the roe inside the mother fish's belly is plentiful and delicious.
"I was thinking of keeping this so I could give it to Miss Zuo sometime in the future. I'm sure she'll be able to cook something unexpectedly delicious!" Matt said, while drooling.
Mortilan glared at him: "Look at you, so pathetic! Alright, hurry up and clean those red silk fish, pick out the ones that are in good condition and pack them up, then call Mina and head to District 48!"
Matt: We just had a baby's full moon celebration less than a month ago, and now we're going to Miss Zuo Shan's house again? Is that appropriate?
Well, at least he's the godfather of Ah Chen, so it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with him going to see his godson every few days, right?
Before she could even wash up, Mina received the notification, quickly took a combat shower, changed into clean clothes, and went to check if the fighter jet's energy configuration and parts were functioning properly.
As she busied herself, she couldn't help but mutter to herself: her guess was right after all, the adult must be Ah Chen's biological father, otherwise who would go to such a remote area like District 48 on such a cold day?
However, considering Miss Zuo's culinary skills, she felt that making the trip was worthwhile.
Lately, she's been fighting alongside the adults against a herd of mutated walruses on the Netherworld Coast, so much so that she hasn't had time to eat the food Miss Zuo packed for her. She's only been drinking a few bottles of nutritional supplements that taste even worse than wild vegetable porridge every day. Her tongue is practically ruined, and she desperately needs some delicious food to soothe her ravaged taste buds.
An hour later, Mortilan, wearing a white mask, set off with two attendants. It was thought that the two would be dissatisfied with the continuous work, but instead, they found that both of them had their mouths wide open, unable to hide their smiles.
Sigh! These two gluttons are really hopeless!
Linghu Yi and Xiaobai arrived at the Zuo family almost one after the other. Ever since the two sides met at the last full moon banquet, they had both investigated each other's backgrounds, but neither had been able to find satisfactory results.
Linghu Yi only found one piece of information: There was an ice-attribute boy named Bai who once appeared alone in the Devil's Forest and was extremely powerful in combat.
But that was 10 years ago, and no one has ever photographed the boy named Bai's face; there is only a blurry image of his back.
However, he couldn't determine whether this Bai was the same young master Bai. But one thing was certain: after leaving the Zuo Shan family, Mina and Matt quickly appeared in the battle on the Nether Coast along with Mordi Lan Dun.
The Nether Coast is a defensive line between humans and marine mutated beasts. Those sea beasts always try to break through this line and go ashore to prey, while humans can only send wave after wave of superhumans to guard this line.
Whenever there are signs that the defenses are about to crumble, the major families will take turns sending their elite members to the front lines, both to protect the safe zone for humans and to give their young members valuable experience.
Linghu Yi felt as if he had overlooked something, but he couldn't remember it for the moment.
On the other hand, Matt also looked up information about Linghu Yi, but found nothing.
The information about the members of the Hurricane Delivery Team under the Ninth Forum is kept strictly confidential. They always appear using their respective district numbers and no one reveals their real names.
Therefore, Matt was not entirely sure whether the real name of this hurricane messenger, number 48, was actually Linghu Yi.
But one thing is certain: Linghu Yi's superpower level is very high, and it is impossible for him to condescend to stay in District 48 as a hurricane messenger.
However, based on the information he currently has, it seems that Linghu Yi only took the opportunity to freeload two meals from Zuo Shan and had no ill intentions towards her.
They met again today. Young Master Bai had just returned from the front lines and rushed over just in time to arrive for dinner.
But Linghu Yi seemed to be doing it on purpose, deliberately coming to pick up the goods at mealtime.
However, this also indirectly confirms that he just wanted to freeload at Miss Zuo's house.
Matt was speechless and helpless. He couldn't very well go to the other party's house to threaten him or kick him out of Miss Zuo's house because of this, could he?
Zuo Shan saw that the two sides had met, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Anyway, she had steamed a lot of wild vegetable meatballs in the past few days, so she could take them out as the main dish to entertain the guests.
"Miss Zuo, this is a second-tier mutated red silk fish that I obtained by chance on the Netherworld Coast. It is said to taste extremely good."
These fish roe are also very nutritious. After grinding them up, you can steam them into egg custard for baby Achen. I've heard that children who eat a lot of seafood are very smart.
Matt took out the cleaned red silk fish from the spatial button and handed it to Zuo Shan, then gave Linghu Yi a provocative look.
The meaning is clear: if you want to come to my house for a free meal, you can't come empty-handed.
Linghu Yi smiled and took out a transparent jar with a line of large characters printed on it: The choice of smart babies - Reindeer Milk Powder!
"Ms. Zuo, this is a gift that our forum just received from a partner. We don't have any children at home, so it's perfect for baby Achen."
Its radiation level is only 120 points, which is close to low radiation.
Most importantly, it's very convenient; you can drink it simply by mixing it with boiling water, which is much easier than buying reindeer milk.
Just by looking at the material of this jar, you can tell it's expensive. And just look at its weight—it's a full 800 grams!
Seeing milk powder in the wasteland would be a lie to say Zuo Shan wasn't excited.
Xiao Bai's face darkened visibly: he had miscalculated; he had come in such a hurry that he had forgotten to properly choose a gift for A Chen.
Then he glared at his assistant: It's all your fault that you made your young master lose face!
