Zheng Hao's eyelids twitched violently. He neither took the food nor refused it immediately. Instead, he asked again, "Are there any foods that are very sweet... but have very few side effects?"
"This one..."
"I recommend this... Seaweed Resin Sweetener! They say just one sip is sickeningly sweet... As for its effects and side effects, I haven't heard of any..."
Another bottle of what appeared to be "petroleum water" was handed out, and the stall owner looked at Zheng Hao expectantly.
Zheng Hao accepted the "sea resin sweet water" this time. When he unscrewed the cap, he could smell an extremely sweet aroma that was no less than that of thick honey.
"Gurgle~"
Swallowing hard, Zheng Hao looked at the stall owner with curiosity.
"Boss, every time I ask you about the taste of the ingredients, you just say 'I heard'..."
"So, you sell these things, but you never even try them yourselves?"
"hold head high..."
"I'm only responsible for selling, why would I eat it?"
"My dog won't drink the sweet water you're holding!"
The stall owner spoke casually, leaving Zheng Hao speechless.
Good heavens!
They're treating outsiders like Li Ka-shing's own people!
"Zheng Hao..."
"How about I try a bite for you?"
Smelling the cloyingly sweet aroma, Mo Yurou looked eagerly at the drink in Zheng Hao's hand.
Zheng Hao knew that she liked sweets.
“Yu Rou, you can try it... but I suggest you only take a small sip. If you drink too much, you might feel nauseous and vomit... although this is just a stomach reaction... but if you vomit, you'll ruin the hard work of the person who brewed this sweet water…”
"Here you go~"
Do you still want to try?
Holding the "sweet water" up to Mo Yurou's eyes, Mo Yurou hesitated, but finally shook her head.
"That..."
"Then let's forget about it..."
"......"
......
Meanwhile, at the Contract Club, second floor.
Jiang Mingyue held the pen in her hand, looking at Zheng Hao with a serious expression.
She shares one thing in common with Jiang Yao: a deep respect for ingredients and food.
She hates people who eat whatever they can get when they're hungry, then spit it out immediately if they think the food doesn't taste good after a few bites.
I told you about the taste of the food beforehand, but you insisted on eating it, and then immediately vomited it up.
This might be commonplace for others.
but...
Such an event would be a devastating blow to anyone who personally prepares the ingredients.
So even if Zheng Hao is some kind of ship god descended to earth, if he dares to waste food today, Jiang Mingyue will "pass" him.
The first advantage of the "adventure race" is the right to control one's own destiny.
However, one has the freedom to choose whether or not to enter into a contract with the other party.
Recording the navigators she has encountered is an important part of Jiang Mingyue's process of selecting contract partners.
"Hmm..."
"I like it even more now..."
Her thin skin bulged, and Jiang Mingyue's face flushed as she quickly wrote a line in her notebook.
Respect food and let your friends know the importance of trying new foods.
[+10 points!]
[Sensory score: 130 points!]
It remains to be seen whether he will actually finish the sweet sap he's holding...
His eyes remained fixed on Zheng Hao's direction.
Jiang Mingyue's palms were trembling.
Actually, she would prefer Zheng Hao to leave now and put down "Sweet Tree Juice". That way, she would only lose 10 points from Zheng Hao at most, and at least the perfect halo of Zheng Hao in her heart would not be damaged.
However...
"Gurgle~"
Standing in front of the stall, Zheng Hao decisively drank a mouthful of sweet water.
"Mmm~~~"
Almost the instant he took a bite, Zheng Hao's face darkened.
sweet!
It's like milk tea with 20% sugar added—so sweet it's nauseating and makes you want to vomit.
"Ugh~"
"Ugh~"
My throat involuntarily felt like vomiting.
The people around Zheng Hao all looked on with tension.
"Zheng Hao? Are you...are you alright?"
"Maybe we should just forget about it, we can't eat the food here!"
"Hehe... Zheng Hao, what did I tell you? The food here isn't fit for human consumption! You insisted on eating it, and now you're suffering, aren't you?"
"......"
The boat girls looked at Zheng Hao with either nervousness or curiosity. Hai Yi chuckled, "Dude, you're a stickler for logic too! I told you, don't try it... you..."
Just when everyone thought Zheng Hao was about to vomit, Jiang Mingyue stared intently at Zheng Hao's throat!
"Snap~"
Zheng Hao snatched the "fish eye lollipop" from the stall owner's hand, crunched it up, and swallowed it down with the sweet juice.
"Well..."
A strange sweetness and an unpleasant bitterness mingled on his taste buds. Zheng Hao didn't savor it, swallowing hard with a blank expression. "It's okay...it seems like it's still edible!"
"......"
Instantly, all around fell silent!
The stall owner's eyes lit up immediately: "Wow! You're amazing, young man! You ate two kinds of food together and nothing happened?"
"It's a pity the competition hasn't even started yet, otherwise you would have already received a certificate!"
An uproar erupted around them.
[Contract Meeting, Second Floor], Jiang Mingyue suddenly let out a heavy breath.
"like..."
"I like it even more!"
"Rustling sound~"
Scores were continuously written on the paper.
[Anyone who can finish the food from the Pharmacist's Ship gets +50 points!]
[Bonus points! Bonus points! All bonus points!]
