This was a last resort for him.
So, he knew that some people in interstellar space ate mutated plants, and he tacitly approved of it.
But when he actually encountered it...
I still can't help but feel...heartache.
And feel...sad.
He silently finished the mutated green beans in his hand, finding them utterly tasteless.
Lin Yiran glanced at the time on her brain, then at Sen Ran's expression, and felt that something was off about his expression, as if the food she had made was not tasty at all.
He didn't seem surprised at all, unlike other people who feel the same sense of delight when they eat her food.
However, Lin Yiran simply assumed that the other party was used to this kind of food. After all, just because people from the lower class had never eaten anything delicious did it mean that people from the upper class couldn't.
Lin Yiran still has some memories of the original owner's time in the Lin family in the First Star System. Back then, the Lin family's dinners were truly luxurious. There were more than a dozen tables of people at the family banquet, and the dishes on the table were the same as those she had eaten at banquets before the apocalypse.
The same luxury and abundance.
I wonder how it tastes, but it should be pretty good. Also, the original owner had a favorite dish: steamed egg custard with a special soy sauce. It tasted so good that even after the original owner fell and lost her memory, she still couldn't forget that dish when she was in the orphanage.
She would repeat to the children in the orphanage over and over again that she loved eating steamed egg custard the most. The smooth texture of the custard combined with the savory flavor of soy sauce was really delicious!
Unfortunately, no one believed the original owner.
Because in the eyes of the poor, steamed egg custard? That's something they've never eaten before. Soy sauce? What is that? Is it the same as the chili sauce spread on insect cakes?
So no one noticed what the original owner was saying, and as people from the lower class, they had no chance to see the food that people from the upper class ate.
I've only ever seen some food posts on Xingnao (a Chinese online forum). I've never actually eaten them.
Lin Yiran thought that the other person probably ate too much delicious food, which was why they were oblivious to the food in front of them.
Aiming at the right moment, Lin Yiran handed over another skewer of grilled eggplant: "Try this, it tastes good."
"The price is a little bit high, though."
Senran immediately understood Lin Yiran's meaning. Although he felt that Lin Yiran was wasting a bit of time, he still kindly scanned another hundred star coins.
[Ding, 1 popularity point has been credited to your store account.]
"Host, would you like to exchange all three popularity points for crystal cores?"
Why three crystal cores? Because Lin Yiran timed it perfectly, making Senran pay 100 star coins for a skewer of grilled green beans before midnight, and then making him pay for a skewer of grilled eggplant after midnight.
This counts as two days' earnings, so there are a total of two popularity points, plus the popularity points she had left.
There are three popularity points, which can be exchanged for three crystal cores.
With these three crystal cores, she could at least raise her superpower to the third tier. If she was at the third tier, she should be able to barely deal with this level ten mutated plant. With a little external help, she might be able to get out.
That's why Lin Yiran made up such a tragic story to make Senran obediently pay.
"After we finish eating this, let's hurry up and find the core. Don't worry, I won't abandon you. You don't need to be so pessimistic. Trust me, I can get you out of here."
Lin Yiran took a bite of eggplant without saying anything, feeling that it was too early to speak, as it was still uncertain who would save whom later.
but?
Something seemed to burst through the darkness.
It was incredibly fast, like a flash of light, appearing right behind Senran without him noticing. Senran was still engrossed in eating his kebabs, lost in thought.
Lin Yiran was stunned. She quickly exchanged three crystal cores with the system. After absorbing the crystal cores, she asked Senran, "Um, what is the mutated celery's riot period like?"
She didn't see it very clearly when she rolled down.
Senran looked up, about to ask: Why did you ask that?
Then, under the illumination of the searchlight, he looked up and saw the vines behind Lin Yiran, eager to insert their mouthparts into the back of Lin Yiran's head.
"careful!!"
Lin Yiran also noticed the vines that were also stirring behind Senran. The moment the vines launched their attack, she pulled the cart back, then pressed down on Senran's neck with one hand and lay down herself.
This was how they barely managed to avoid the attacks of those mutated vines.
The two dodged one after another, and were forced to fight one-on-one.
Unfortunately, the mutated vines were very tight, and tens of millions of them wrapped around them directly!
Lin Yiran now realized how terrifying the vines were.
Unlike the parasitic vines on the big tree she had used, these vines were much thinner, about the thickness of a finger, but they were indeed densely packed, numbering at least hundreds of thousands of times more than those parasitic vines!
It's enough to trigger trypophobia in anyone who sees it.
Moreover, these vines aren't very smart. When they attack, they don't have time to turn around and many of them get tangled together, making it even more unpleasant to look at. Lin Yiran inexplicably thought of earthworms used as bait when fishing, which look disgusting when they're all tangled together.
It gave her goosebumps.
However, after dodging several of them, Lin Yiran began to take things seriously again. She found these things disgusting; they were determined to kill her!
Forget about being disgusting, the most important thing is to burn them down!
Sen Ran had already taken out two torches from his Star Brain and was running over to hand one to Lin Yiran. But then he saw an unbelievable scene.
Surprisingly, many knives flew around the girl: large cleavers, daggers, curved knives, fruit knives, and even the kitchen knife she had just used to cut the eggplant. There were dozens of knives in total, some old and worn, others quite new.
Because Lin Yiran picked up these knives from the junkyard.
All the knives were flying and spinning around Lin Yiran at a very fast speed, cutting down every last vine around the girl.
Any vines that sprout are cut down immediately.
However, Lin Yiran was not surrounded by a single vine, but by countless vines. Having stayed here for almost two months, Senran knew better than anyone how terrifying these vines were!
However, a strange circle without vines formed around Lin Yiran.
In short, none of the tens of thousands of vines dared to approach Lin Yiran.
What kind of ability is this? Senran was stunned, looking at the scene before him with amazement in his eyes, although those old, broken machetes seemed a little out of place.
But it's still amazing, okay? What kind of ability is that?
He seemed to have never seen him before!
