Chapter 597 Direct Betrayal



I understand now. If it's Lin Da, then his way of addressing me just now has changed.

At first, he called me Master Lin, but now he calls me a distinguished guest.

In other words, when someone calls me a guest, what they say cannot be trusted.

I sensed the food, and sure enough, I could feel a subtle energy fluctuation emanating from it.

This fluctuation is highly abnormal.

It seems the food is inedible.

"Keep looking, see if anything else was left behind, be sure to look carefully!"

I looked at Ji Xinglan. Whether we survived or not largely depended on this booklet by Ji Xinglan.

It's like the instruction manual in a mystery novel.

What's the point of playing a ghost story without an instruction manual?

Ant and Old Knife became a little curious, wondering what I was talking about. I gave Old Knife a simple explanation, and he finally understood.

"So that's how it is. I never imagined that such a run-down place could end up being associated with supernatural tales. But the way Lin Da addressed you when he spoke to you earlier was clearly different!"

Old Dao nodded, clearly understanding the rules.

"Master Chen, there really is one. Look, it says here that you should not disrespect the inspectors and you must not disobey their orders!"

At this moment, Ji Xinglan found the writing on the title page.

The sign above states that one must not disobey the inspectors' intentions.

When I saw this, I was a little confused. In other words, Lin Da told me that I had to eat this food. I knew that there would be problems after eating it, but I couldn't go against his wishes?

This is just too outrageous!

Is there anything else?

I looked at the booklet, trying to find any clues I could use.

"As mentioned above, if you encounter a problem that you cannot solve, you can ask the waiter for help, but the premise is that you cannot be too shabby! Otherwise, the waiter will get angry!"

Furthermore, the guests' money must not be emptied!

Ji Xinglan then explained the rules she had seen.

I know that this waiter must be one of the servants who delivered the food earlier; as long as you pay him, you can get a certain reward.

But gold won't do; at least silver will do.

Because gold is at its lowest price here.

I observed Lin Da, who was saying the same thing to the other guests at the table, warning them to hurry up and eat.

At that moment, a servant appeared before me, looking at me with a strange expression.

"Guest, are you satisfied with your meal? Is there anything I can help you with?"

The servant looked at me.

After thinking it over, I made a bold decision.

"Please, could you please get me a different meal? I'm not really used to this one! Here's a tip for you!"

After I finished speaking, I directly pulled out the tongue of that servant.

Because there is a lot of energy in this tongue.

This energy is similar to that of silver.

"Oh, sir, you're too kind, you've given too much! I'll get you a different one right away! But if Butler Lin asks, please don't say I changed it! My name is Lin Bin!"

Lin Bin looked at me furtively, then carefully wrapped the tongue I had given him.

And they quickly removed the food.

It quickly disappeared from my sight.

Wow, Brother Chen, that's awesome!

Old Dao was stunned when he saw this.

Old Dao never imagined that I could actually exchange things with my tongue.

"Uncle Chen, you actually use your tongue as money?"

Ji Xinglan was equally stunned and impressed by my actions.

I nodded and whispered to Ji Xinglan that there was a powerful energy fluctuation on these tongues.

My tongue is like that, and so is Wang Xu's tongue.

Even the money Lin Da gave us had the same energy fluctuations!

Ji Xinglan blinked: "Uncle Chen, you mean that the value of currency has nothing to do with its face value, but is related to the energy fluctuations on it!"

Even something as worthless as the tongue can be used like silver or gold if it has enough energy!

However, even a high-grade currency like gold, if it doesn't possess energy, cannot be used here, is that right?

Ji Xinglan asked me softly, "Such a smart girl has amazed me."

Ji Xinglan is definitely the smartest girl I've ever met. I just told Ji Xinglan that there is energy in currency and energy in the tongue.

All of those things were deduced by Ji Xinglan herself; I didn't offer any help.

It's terrifying, truly terrifying. If Ji Xinglan didn't already know the inside story, then this way of thinking is indeed a bit outrageous.

I discovered it through the Heavenly Eye, while Ji Xinglan figured it out through the rules I revealed.

"Yes, at least that's my guess, but I don't know for sure if that's actually the case!"

I nodded, without denying it.

"Let's keep watching, there should be a new hint appearing!"

I quickly asked Ji Xinglan to open the booklet and look at the handwriting.

"If the patrol discovers you're bribing the servants, be sure to choose the most advantageous method!"

After Ji Xinglan finished reading, her body went limp, so I picked her up.

When I touched Ji Xinglan, her body reacted as if she had been electrocuted, and cold sweat instantly broke out on her neck.

"Are you alright?" I asked quickly and cautiously. No matter what, Ji Xinglan couldn't be allowed to get hurt right now.

"It's nothing, I was probably just startled. I'm on edge right now, and I can barely keep up!"

Ji Xinglan wiped away her sweat; she looked so pitiful.

It must be said that Ji Xinglan was at her most beautiful at this time, like a lotus emerging from the water.

Seeing that Ji Xinglan was alright, I quickly shook my head, forcing myself not to think about anything else.

When I calmed down, Lin Da arrived.

"Honorable guest, didn't I tell you to eat these dishes properly?"

Lin Da's expression turned fierce, and even his face turned a bit blue.

It looks like a zombie that can grow fangs. Luckily, I'm calm enough right now, otherwise I might have screamed out loud.

At that moment, I could also directly feel that fear; this was the return of the Earth Soul.

I was just about to speak when I remembered the tip in the booklet.

The booklet told me that when faced with criticism, I must pursue the greatest benefit.

But the biggest benefit here is not as simple as betraying Lin Bin.

They should be trying to gain enough benefits from Lin Bin.

"Lin Bin just told me a lot of things, and he even swindled some money from me!"

After thinking about it, I gave this answer directly.

When this answer came out, Lao Dao and the others were dumbfounded.
