Chapter 186 The Tentacle Monster's Blessing
Ignoring Chen Leying's refusal, Lu Cheng insisted on distributing the steamed buns to everyone.
No one spoiled him; they gave him all sorts of steamed buns and dumplings.
These foods have such a short shelf life, we can't possibly finish them all!
Even if they wanted to stock up, they lacked the tools to store food, so they were powerless to do so.
Therefore, when players find food with a short shelf life, they think it's better to eat it while it's still edible than to let it spoil.
This has led to the current situation where food is worthless.
In the evening, Meng Qingyin had a very lavish dinner.
Soy sauce packets, sesame seed cakes, fried rice with eggs, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, and hot and sour noodles that my son loves.
The hot and sour noodles were vacuum-packed, so they had a long shelf life, but since Zaizai wanted to eat them, Meng Qingyin cooked them for him.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they went about their own business.
Meng Qingyin practiced with a heavy sword, Da Xue practiced water control, and Er Xue followed suit.
As for Zaizai, it had nothing to do, so it chatted with Little Ai the Elf.
Little Elf: "Little Elf, why can't I see you?"
Little Ai Elf: 【Because I am artificial intelligence.】
Little one: "What is artificial intelligence? Can you eat it?"
Little Elf: [Of course you can't eat it!]
Little one: "You're so stingy."
Little Ai Elf: [We can't chat today.]
Even though the little elf disliked him, the little one wasn't angry. He used his paws to poke at the pea leaves and had a great time.
...
Another new day has begun.
Meng Qingyin ate a simple breakfast and intended to go to Uncle Li's house to study, but unexpectedly received a notification: "During the Tentacle Competition, please stay on the highway."
Meng Qingyin had no choice but to send a message to Uncle Li saying that she had something to do today and wouldn't be going.
The 23rd generation successor of the Li family forging: "Okay, I know you've all been quite busy lately, so please take care of your own business first."
Meng Qingyin then drove off.
This morning, we killed more than a dozen tentacle monsters, and without exception, all we got were food.
Looking at the food that almost filled the kitchen cabinets, Meng Qingyin was worried for the first time because there was too much food.
Moreover, she wasn't the only one who was worried.
Little Anxin: "Who wants shumai and steamed buns? They're free!"
Yan Yiyu: "Everyone has so much food they can't finish it all, right? I'm thinking of giving away my dozen or so pounds of sesame cakes. Anyone want them?"
Qi Ran 08: "Haha, you two, stop asking. Nobody wants you! Right now, the last thing we have is food."
Qingxinfei: "I was starving and emaciated a while ago, but I'm so fat these days. Life is really unpredictable, like a large intestine wrapped around a small intestine."
Wu Qingyou: "Haha, I never thought I'd be bothered by having too much food one day."
Garfield's favorite lasagna: "Actually, the problem isn't having too much food, but rather the inability to store it for long. By the way, does anyone here have access to the refrigerator?"
Mio: "Refrigerators are useful, but not very useful. First of all, a refrigerator that can be placed in a car certainly won't have a large capacity, so it can't store much food. Secondly, refrigerators consume electricity! I haven't reached the point where I can use electricity as I please."
Teyvat pushed someone: "If only there were infinite spaces like in novels."
"..."
Meng Qingyin sighed helplessly; it seemed everyone had the same worries.
Suddenly, the train stopped.
Meng Qingyin looked and realized that the train had reached the red exclamation mark she had marked.
As soon as the car stopped, the little one jumped out first.
Seeing the scene in the grass, Zai Zai was slightly taken aback and said to Meng Qingyin, who had just gotten out of the car, "Master, look, that red tentacle monster has grown out by itself!"
Meng Qingyin also saw the tentacle monster.
Its tentacles are bright red, like blood, and stand out against the lush grass.
More importantly, it doesn't suddenly attack; instead, it lies quietly on the grass, seemingly waiting for its prey to arrive.
It turns out that there isn't just one type of tentacle monster.
But what's so special about this red tentacle monster?
Meng Qingyin picked up a small stone from the side and threw it in front of the red tentacle monster.
The small stone landed in front of the red tentacle monster, but it didn't react at all.
Meng Qingyin wondered, could he be dead?
She took a few steps forward, and the little one followed closely behind.
The red tentacle monster was as if it were dead, showing no reaction whatsoever.
Meng Qingyin swung her heavy sword and struck the base of the red tentacle monster.
The heavy sword was incredibly sharp, but it couldn't cut through the tentacle monster!
Meng Qingyin became increasingly puzzled.
The little one bit the base of the red tentacle monster and easily pulled it up by the roots.
[Congratulations on defeating the red tentacle monster! You have obtained 1 Tentacle Monster's Blessing. Triggering double rewards, you will obtain 2 Tentacle Monster's Blessings!]
Um?
That's how you successfully kill someone?
So what exactly is this red tentacle monster all about?
Is it that simply uprooting it will kill it?
And why doesn't it attack?
Can it also be immune to heavy knife damage?
Although she successfully killed the red tentacle monster, Meng Qingyin was full of questions.
She opened the chat area and looked around for a while, but found nothing.
Never mind, let's see the tentacle monster's blessing first.
[Tentacle Monster's Blessing: A blessing from the tentacle monster; opening it will randomly grant various blessings.]
Due to the double reward being triggered, Meng Qingyin received two [Tentacle Monster's Blessings].
She opened the first one first.
[You have activated the Tentacle Monster's blessing. For the next hour, all tentacle monsters you encounter will be red.]
What kind of blessing is this?
It's better if it doesn't; the more red tentacle monsters we encounter, the closer we get to the truth.
Meng Qingyin returned to the car and instructed Xiao Ai to drive as fast as possible to the next red exclamation mark.
Only then did the second [Tentacle Monster's Blessing] open.
[You have received the Tentacle Monster's Blessing and obtained 5 Sleepy Grasses.]
Sleepweed?
Meng Qingyin was becoming increasingly confused.
[Sleepy Grass: A magical plant; touching its leaves will induce a state of drowsiness for one minute. Event-limited item.]
Not knowing what it would be used for, but knowing it would be useful, Meng Qingyin used a tissue to put away the sleeping grass.
Soon, the train stopped, and there was a bright red tentacle in the grass ahead.
The red tentacle monster remained lying on the ground, as if it were dead.
We just learned that the heavy attack won't do any damage to it.
Meng Qingyin didn't waste her time.
Thinking about studying the red tentacle, Meng Qingyin didn't let Zai Zai go up.
She reached out and grasped the tentacle, trying to pull it out.
Unexpectedly, the force was too great, and it actually broke the tentacle monster off.
Meng Qingyin, clutching the long tentacle in her hand, stumbled and nearly fell.
But what happened next horrified her.
The tentacle monster, now only its roots remaining on the ground, instantly sprouted new red tentacles.
Meng Qingyin instinctively took a few steps back.
The red tentacle monster was no longer asleep. Its tentacles thrashed around at an extremely fast speed, quickly tearing apart the surrounding grass.
Watching the red tentacle monster lashing the ground wildly, Meng Qingyin gradually formed a guess in her mind.
