Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 123 You dare steal my food? Just wait for my naked revenge!!!
"poisoned?"

Li Chen was slightly stunned; his first reaction was that it was impossible.

"That's impossible. The place I'm in is spotless. How could I possibly be poisoned?"

Ye Bai handed the test report to Li Chen: "It is indeed poisoned, and the poisoning is quite severe. If it is not treated, it may endanger the life of the silkworm. It is a very subtle toxin."

Li Chen flipped through the complete and detailed test report, which indeed stated that the silkworm was poisoned, and that it had been poisoned for some time.

"This is a nerve-destroying toxin. Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise the nerves of the fighting silkworms would all die one by one, and even a great immortal would be powerless to save them."

"This toxin does not exist in the wild; it is a synthetic toxin that is said to eliminate all insects."

"For insect-type pets, they are definitely the nemesis."

"Any insect-type pet that comes into contact with the Hundred Insect Eliminator will initially fall into a sleep. As the sleep time gets longer and longer, it will become weaker and weaker, eventually affecting your contract slot."

Ye Bai explained the dangers of the toxin to Li Chen, pointing out that it does not exist in nature and could only be a trap set by someone with malicious intent.

The small hole in the silkworm is a mark left by piercing the outer skin with an ultra-fine needle.

Without the Eye of Insight, this anomaly would have been impossible to detect.

The key point is that Li Chen only realized now that his vigilance was somewhat lacking.

It seems that the fact that Li Chen's breeder was sent to the meeting this time was also that person's doing.

"I can help with the treatment. After you get back, you should carefully check the people around you. If the source of the poison is not removed, the silkworms will continue to be poisoned."

"Come on, Sunflower King, extract the toxins from the fighting silkworm and heal it with all your might!"

The Sunflower King placed its root on the silkworm. After its root split into pieces about the size of capillaries, it pierced into the silkworm's skin.

It can absorb the toxins inside the silkworm through its roots and stems.

Li Chen could see that the blood of the silkworm was black, and it took the Sunflower King a while to slowly turn the color green.

After circulating for a while, the blood of the silkworm eventually turned light green, proving that the toxins had been completely eliminated.

"That's enough, the treatment is complete. This time, out of consideration for our old classmate relationship, I won't charge you any fees."

Seeing the Sunflower King's face turn pale in an instant, Li Chen felt a little guilty.

Ye Bairen is too kind. The Sunflower King has gone to such lengths; it would be really hard not to pay him.

Even close brothers should keep clear accounts, and besides, Ye Bai and he weren't even blood brothers.

So Li Chen took out a black card from his hand.

"It's alright, the Sunflower King will be fine after a bit of sunshine, it's no big deal."

Ye Bai pushed the black card back; he was telling the truth.

Seeing that Ye Bai insisted on refusing, Li Chen gritted his teeth and took out a dark blue, antique bottle from his pet space.

The bottle contained a gray liquid, and Ye Bai stared at it for a long time before realizing it was the water of the River Styx.

"Ye Bai, please accept it, otherwise I'll feel bad. It's just Styx water; I have plenty more here."

Ye Bai knew this was Li Chen's excuse. The water of the Styx River was very rare, and it was said that it could only be obtained in the secret realm of hell.

The River Styx is also teeming with strange beasts, which will attack in a frenzy whenever they see someone taking water.

Therefore, the water of the Styx River is a hot commodity in the Yan Kingdom Alliance. Ye Bai only recognized it after seeing pictures of the water of the Styx River.

These aren't wholesale items; once you use one, you've got one less.

"Alright, I'll leave this bottle of Styx water with me for now. I won't touch it."

"Just ask me for it when you need it."

Ye Bai spoke with righteous indignation, appearing outwardly righteous and awe-inspiring.

At this moment, Big Gray had also prepared the meal, and a rich aroma wafted through the air.

Today's lunch mainly consisted of stir-fried bamboo shoots with ten-yolk eggs.

In addition, there were vegetables from the Sky Market that Li Chen brought over.

These vegetables are all very fresh. The broken surface of the broccoli in the salad even secretes a milky white liquid, which is what makes for a good salad.

There's also bacon and cabbage, which has a subtle meaty and smoky flavor.

The main dish is strawberry rice, with each grain of rice representing a strawberry. It tastes sweet and sour, and you're guaranteed to want a second bowl after finishing one.

These things were all brought by Li Chen, and he usually eats a lot of them, so his focus is on the ten-yolk egg fried bamboo rice.

This time, Ye Bai obtained more than a dozen bamboo grains from the Six-Winged Flying Mantis, and they were of very good quality.

Da Hui cuts bamboo rice into fine shreds. This crystal-clear bamboo rice looks as soft as jelly, but the moment you cut into it, it seems even more resilient than the skin of an ancient manta ray.

Only Big Gray possesses the power to cut bamboo rice into thin strips.

After slicing the ingredients into thin strips, heat an appropriate amount of rapeseed oil in a wok. Once the wok is hot and the oil is cool, add garlic, ginger, fermented black beans, and small red chilies and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add bamboo rice and stir-fry gently.

Once the bamboo rice is stir-fried until just cooked, it tastes somewhat like jellyfish, but more tender.

At this point, take out the bamboo rice, heat the pan again with cold oil, add the 10-yolk eggs and scramble them until cooked. The key is to cook them until they are just set, with a little bit of egg liquid still about to solidify. Then quickly pour in the bamboo rice and stir-fry for another three seconds to maintain the tender texture of the scrambled eggs.

Remove from heat after three seconds, then sprinkle with chopped green onions and chopped garlic.

No cooking wine is needed throughout the process, as it might affect the natural, subtle bamboo fragrance of the bamboo rice.

Big Grey had just sent Zhang Lingxue's portion over via the Blood Gu Butterfly clone.

This dish should be eaten within ten minutes. After ten minutes, the eggs will be overcooked and won't retain their best flavor.

Recently, Zhang Lingxue has been studying positively charged and negatively charged rabbits to the point of being somewhat obsessed.

However, thanks to Zhang Lingxue's painstaking research, the experiment made significant progress.

Li Chen sat down with a thud. He picked up the scrambled eggs with his chopsticks. The scrambled eggs were still runny with egg liquid, and there were crystal clear bamboo grains mixed in. A faint bamboo fragrance wafted into his nostrils.

The next second, Li Chen felt as if he were in a sea of ​​bamboo forest. A gust of wind blew by, and he let out a refreshing shout.

Just smelling it is enough to transport you to a dreamlike state, let alone putting that mouthful of scrambled eggs into your mouth.

The first sensation of scrambled eggs is their tenderness, and the second is their smoothness; it's as if with just a gentle touch, the scrambled eggs will slide down your throat.

The chewy and soft bamboo rice dances between your lips and teeth, while the yolk of the scrambled egg coats the bamboo rice, creating a duet in your mouth.

He seemed to see countless Dunhuang flying apsaras, holding pipa in their hands, flying down from the sky, their slender, jade-like toes gently pressing on the bamboo.

A gentle breeze carrying the fragrance of bamboo leaves blew by, and he saw a stunningly beautiful face beneath the veil.

Li Chen ate one mouthful after another, swallowing like a robot. Although it wasn't the first time he had eaten bamboo rice or ten-yolk eggs, this was the first time he had ever experienced the joy and emotion that eating brought him.

This is an extremely blissful experience.

Tears of happiness fell, landing on the plate. When the three pairs of chopsticks clinked together, they all realized at the same time that the stir-fried bamboo rice with ten yolk eggs was finished.

For the first time, Li Chen experienced what it felt like to be stuffed.

At home, he hired many renowned chefs, but none of them could match the warmth of Da Hui's cooking.

"Ye Bai, the food here is so good. Can I provide the ingredients and you cook it for me?"

Ye Bai shook his head.

"Big Grey is usually very busy, and we don't have much energy to spare."

"Forget about getting a free meal."

"It's getting late, I should rest too. Your pet has been healed, so go back now. You can come back if there are any problems."

Ye Bai, enduring Li Chen's resentful gaze, directly asked him to leave.

At this moment, Li Chen's gaze fell on the Myriad Transformations Silkworm, whose bowl contained a mountain of scrambled eggs.

It was happily munching on the eggs when it saw Li Chen's burning gaze, and the Myriad Transformations Silkworm immediately became wary.

Oh no! A thief is eyeing my lunch.

So the Myriad Transformations Silkworm moved its bowl with its tongue, and Li Chen's gaze followed the Myriad Transformations Silkworm's lunch.

The ever-changing silkworm [○｀Д○], will it ever end!

Even if you are my godfather, it doesn't matter. In the face of delicious food, I would rather die than give up everything, including heaven, earth, and my godfather.

If you dare steal my food, you'd better expect my ruthless revenge!!!
Li Chen rubbed his bulging belly regretfully. He was full, but he still wanted to eat.

It's so contradictory to be human.

So Li Chen and Zhang Yiyi sat in the incubation room for an entire afternoon, focusing on digestion and aiding digestion.

After confirming that Ye Bai had something to do that evening and wouldn't be home, the two left with regretful expressions.

"Sigh, I feel like I've made a huge mistake."

"I didn't know that Big Gray's cooking was so delicious."

“It’s never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost. Zhang Yiyi, what rare ingredients do you have? What rare ingredients do I have? Let’s put it together and then come to Ye Bai’s place for a free meal.”

"In that case, Ye Bai can't really say anything, can he?"

Li Chen winked at Zhang Yiyi.

“That’s right. I remember my boss has some very precious Enlightenment Tea leaves. Let’s just give them to Ye Bai to make tea eggs.”

"Tea eggs made with ten yolk eggs and Wudao tea leaves, how delicious they must be!"

The two men were lost in their reverie about the delicious food, and lewd smiles appeared on their faces.

[A captive of food, when eating something delicious, will show that 'creepy' smile, a smile that represents sincerity, beauty, and deliciousness.]

After packing his things, Ye Bai decided to try his luck in the black market.

The underground black market in Jiaying City is located in Jinshui Park, which is not far from Shenshan Middle School.

There was an abandoned villa complex there, and pedestrians would occasionally see pale green will-o'-the-wisps flashing among the villas at night, which led to the spread of rumors that it was haunted.

Generally, few people go there after dark.

Ye Bai had been to the black market four or five times and was very familiar with its rules.

He took out a black cloak and a black mask from his pet space.

The first rule of the black market is that you must not reveal your true appearance in the underground black market, as it will have extremely serious consequences. Some people will also use your appearance to trace your whereabouts.

Therefore, in the underground black market, one must have a black cloak and a black mask to conceal one's key information, so as not to be too passive.

Then Ye Bai took out a spray bottle and sprayed it on himself.

The second rule of the black market is that before entering the underground black market, you must spray your whole body with a special air freshener.

The purpose of this was to prevent some exotic beasts with a keen sense of smell from following and tracking them.

Finally, Ye Bai took out an exquisitely crafted coin from his pet space.

This coin is made of pure gold, with a picture of the Jiaying River on the obverse and a black character in regular script on the reverse.

Surprisingly, there is a string of Arabic numerals in the groove on the side of this coin, serving as an anti-counterfeiting feature.

One such black gold coin is equivalent to one thousand Alliance coins.

There are exchange offices in the underground black market that specialize in exchanging black gold coins.

The purpose of doing this is to avoid revealing one's whereabouts, and the underground black market does this quite well.

The third rule of the black market is that the black market only accepts black gold coins and barter, which can minimize the chance of discovering one's true identity.

After making all the preparations, Ye Bai set off alone. The black market was safe; it was only outside the black market that it became less safe.

The moon has climbed to the horizon, and from here, you can see the bright moonlight falling from the sky.

The underground black market was built in an abandoned villa complex next to Jinshui Park. The entire complex had long been dilapidated due to wind and rain.

The ground was covered with two-meter-high weeds, which looked very eerie.

The pale green phosphorescence floated in the air, giving off a somewhat eerie feeling.

The appearance of will-o'-the-wisps signifies the start of the black market.

The black market opens at 10 p.m. and closes promptly at 6 a.m. the next morning.

There is only one chance per month. People who come to the black market must be guided by someone they know, otherwise the guards here will launch an attack.

Ye Bai also got in by chance, following a taciturn man inside. After registering at the exchange, he received his black market number.

It was possible a few years ago, but the black market underwent reforms and this practice is no longer allowed.

Ye Bai was not frightened by the scenery. He took a few steps forward, and the surrounding scenery changed in a flash. Suddenly, he arrived at a place bustling with noise.

This is clearly a smokescreen set up by the people who set up the black market.

Everywhere were people dressed in black robes, hurrying about, all wearing their masks tightly and not daring to take them off.

The black market is divided into four areas: the exotic beast area, the treasure area, the pet egg area, and the herb area.

Each of these four areas is as big as ten football fields.

Ye Bai felt that the shell of the Destiny Turtle should be in the treasure area, and probably in a very inconspicuous corner.

He also wanted to explore the treasure area, and with the help of his Eye of Insight, he could more easily select suitable treasures.
