Chapter 1667 Doubt

No one would answer Luna's question.

Kieran has always been wary and ignorant towards strangers.

Mimosa?

When Kieran was around, most of the time there was no one else in sight, and he could show a polite smile, which meant that the upbringing of the big family was successful.

Therefore, after waiting for two hours without any chance, Lunai chose to leave temporarily.

As for breaking in?

Not to mention her status as a food critic, which means she cannot do anything rude.

Just the inexplicable identity shown by Kieran was enough to make her extremely afraid.

However, I won't give up like that!

When Luna reached the entrance of the alley, she took a deep breath and encouraged herself.

In order to make this encouragement more ceremonial, she turned around and looked at the door of the small restaurant, preparing to make a gesture of cheering with fists.

But just when she turned around——

boom!

The door of the restaurant was closed by Qin Ran.

Lunai could clearly see the expression on Qin Ran's face that had not changed from the beginning to the end. The look of indifference made her raised fist freeze in mid-air.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Luna finally couldn't help it.

“It’s great to have money!”

she shouted in a lowered voice.

After shouting, he looked around and then left in a hurry.

Kieran in the restaurant heard what the other party said, but didn't care.

The barking of a lost dog is nothing worth paying attention to.

Not to mention, it is still a lost dog without teeth and claws.

What he cares more about is the free 'compensation gift'.

Opened that beautiful box.

Layers of silk cover it.

After opening the layers of yellow silk, a stone the size of an adult's fist appeared in front of you. The stone had a round luster. Under the sun, it looked as warm as jade. Even people who didn't understand it looked at it. After seeing this stone, everyone would feel that it was worth a lot, let alone Kieran.

[Name: Water Pure Stone (Small Piece)]

[Type: Strange Object]

[Quality: Rare]

[Attack power: none]

…

[Water culture: Put it in a water tank (no more than 3 cubic meters). Fish, shrimp and other aquatic products in the water tank will have a small chance of producing higher-level ingredients after 12 hours]

…

"It turns out to be a tool for water purification and breeding."

Qin Ran looked a little surprised.

In the world of [The Meaning of Food] dungeon, he had heard of similar props, but because they were extremely rare, he had never seen them before.

I didn't expect to see it in this special copy world.

Then……

Kieran swallowed.

He thought of rice steamed and soup made from purified water.

There are also: cheese-baked lobster, spicy crayfish, blue abalone sashimi, brandy-grilled conch, fried crab in typhoon shelter, stir-fried octopus, thick Asian star spot soup, sea cucumber roasted with green onions, seafood chowder...

The sea seemed to appear in front of me.

There seemed to be a sound of waves in my ears.

There is even more fragrance in the nose.

Can't wait, Kieran picked up the [Water Purification Stone] and walked into the kitchen, with expectant eyes, and placed it in Mimosa's hand.

"[Water Purification Stone]?"

Mimosa was stunned for a moment, then smiled naturally: "Brother, do you want to eat cheese baked lobster, spicy crayfish, blue abalone sashimi, brandy grilled conch, typhoon shelter fried crab, stir-fried octopus, thick soup of Eastern star spot, and green onion sea cucumber? , Seafood chowder?”

"think!"

Kieran nodded firmly.

"Then we need a larger fish tank and some breeding tools. The location in the kitchen is a bit narrow. How about we put the fish tank on the side of the bar?"

Mimosa asked.

"Everything is up to you."

Qin Ran said.

Leave professional matters to professionals, Kieran has always believed in this.

When it comes to cooking skills, Kieran has never seen anyone more professional than Mimosa.

Therefore, during the subsequent shopping trip, Kieran and Mimosa brought back many things, including necessary water tanks, oxygen pumps, etc., as well as many aquatic products.

When Bain dragged his tired body back to the restaurant, he saw a water tank occupying nearly half of the bar on one side.

"You still like to raise fish?"

Bain asked curiously.

"Um."

"The one that can enter the mouth is the best."

Qin Ran nodded.

What does it mean to be able to enter?

Shouldn’t the fish in the fish tank be for viewing?

Bain was stunned for a moment, and then quickly came to his senses. He looked at Kieran, showed a philistine smile, and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "A lot of big things happened in Aicheng City last night. Are you interested in knowing? No need. For just one silver coin, I'll tell you everything."

"Not interested in."

Kieran said directly, without even looking away, just looking at the living creatures in his fish tank and silently looking at the alarm clock placed beside him.

"20 copper ferry coins!"

"Don't you have any interest?"

"You know, it's about a certain strange object!"

Bain emphasized again.

He knew that because of the eldest lady's fault, the Southern District and the Songshi family suffered a lot of bleeding yesterday.

Of course he would not covet Kieran's compensation.

But if Kieran could use a small part of it to purchase his information, it would be a very good choice.

After all, his savings had been exhausted in order to buy the dilapidated [House of Resentful Spirits].

What Bain didn't expect was that Qin Ran shook his head again.

"No."

"15!"

"10!"

"5! Five copper ferry coins are enough, right?"

Facing Kieran's answer, Bain couldn't help but lower the price.

"Where's 1 copper ferry coin?"

"Are you reluctant to part with even a copper ferry coin?"

Bain supported the bar with both hands and waited for Kieran's answer with wide eyes. When he saw Kieran nodding affirmatively, Bain seemed to have been drained of strength and fell limply on the table.

"A penniless guy."

Bain muttered under his breath.

"Thanks."

Qin Ran said.

He always thinks that diligence and thrift are the best compliment to him.

Suddenly, Bain, who was slumped on the bar, sat up straight.

"No! No!"

"You must have gotten the news about the 'Philosopher's Stone' from other channels!"

Bain stared at Kieran.

And Kieran did not deny it.

What happened last night may have been kept secret at first, but with the subsequent battle, it has already fallen into the eyes of those who are interested.

You can't hide it even if you want to.

At most, it would just keep ordinary people unaware.

Kieran, who knew this well, was not worried about anything. On the contrary, as Bain opened his mouth, he no longer needed to think about what words to use to lead the topic to the 'Philosopher's Stone' without leaving any trace.

"Is the 'Philosopher's Stone' really as magical as the legend says?"

Qin Ran asked vaguely.

He didn't ask what kind of magic it was, naturally he wanted Bain to tell him completely.

The cautious Qin Ran needed to thoroughly find out whether this fragment of the 'Philosopher's Stone' was the same as the 'Philosopher's Stone' he knew.

"Um!"

"If it is really the 'Philosopher's Stone', it will naturally be able to resurrect the dead and perform a small-scale 'prayer' as in the legend, but..."

"From the descriptions of those guys, that 'Philosopher's Stone' is a bit weird."

"I don't know the details. Now that the 'Philosopher's Stone' has fallen into the hands of the 'Songshi' family, other people in Ai City don't have to think about it."

After the idea of ​​making a fortune by the way was shattered, Bain became weak again and he answered Kieran's words casually.

"is that so?"

Kieran looked at the lobster hiding behind a decorative plant in the fish tank and asked softly.

The voice was very soft, as if Bain didn't hear it.

Or I heard it and didn’t want to explain anything more.

After all, there are so many legends about the 'Philosopher's Stone'. Most people who have entered the mysterious side know about it and can find out by just asking.

The voice doesn't respond.

The eyes responded.

The lobster in the fish tank seemed to have felt some terrible premonition and quickly ran towards the coral stone decoration on the side. Kieran's eyes moved accordingly.

The lobster moved again, but the premonition of catastrophe followed it like a shadow.

In less than three minutes, the lobster collapsed there from exhaustion and could no longer move.

"Luo Ye, it seems to be dying."

"Let's bake it with cheese while it's still fresh!"

As Qin Ran said this, he picked up the net and fished out the lobster.

"Is it still moving?"

"Very energetic!"

Bain outside the bar looked at the lively lobsters in the net bag and couldn't help but said.

"No, you got it wrong."

Kieran said, with a flick of his wrist, the net bag gently hit the solid wood bar, and immediately, the lobster became motionless.

Mimosa walked out of the kitchen, looked at the motionless lobster in the net bag, and nodded.

"give it to me."

Mimosa said with a smile.

The kitchen curtain fell again, and the elite 'vicious dog' crawling at the kitchen door began to stick out its tongue and lick its mouth.

Of course you can’t eat the most delicious part, but the leftovers are good too!

While imagining the delicious food that would appear soon, the elite 'Vicious Dog' looked with contempt at Bain, who was still sitting outside the bar and was about to say something.

From that gaze, two words were clearly revealed: Silly.

"Luo Yan, your dog seems to despise me?"

Bain frowned.

"No, you got it wrong."

"It was just now, and it's the same now."

"You must have been too nervous recently to have such an illusion."

Kieran said with certainty. Faced with such certainty, Bain couldn't help but become a little doubtful.

He has been really tired these days.

Continuously performing tasks and dealing with emergencies, even if it is a break, it was just a bunk in this lobby two days ago.

"Am I really tired?"

Bain muttered to himself.

"Um."

"I suggest you go back and take a good rest right away, otherwise, you won't be able to cope with what's going to happen next."

"At least, the place where the 'Philosopher's Stone' was excavated will need you."

Qin Ran nodded.

"yes."

"The Southern District has suffered heavy losses this time, especially Essen De. His injuries are extremely serious and he will not be able to recover in the short term."

"The South District is now in the hands of Horn."

"I hope that guy Aisen De doesn't come back. His pretentious behavior is really annoying."

Bain didn't hide his thoughts.

"What do you think about that ruins?"

Qin Ran asked.

"Maybe that guy Mazim just got lucky, right?"

Bain said.

"Shit luck?"

Qin Ran muttered to himself.

The last doubt in my heart has not disappeared.

Because it is too simple to store the remains of the 'Philosopher's Stone'.

Anyone who can possess the 'Philosopher's Stone', even in fragments, is not an ordinary person, but where is it?

Except for a mechanism that is extremely effective against ordinary people, there is nothing left.

Isn't it surprising?

It was as if someone had hurriedly placed the fragments of the 'Philosopher's Stone' there, hastily arranged them, and waited for the people who entered there to get the fragments of the 'Philosopher's Stone'.

"You said that the fragments of the Philosopher's Stone fell into the hands of the Songshi family?"

Qin Ran suddenly asked.

"Um."

"Mazim was caught by Free One."

"The 'Philosopher's Stone' naturally fell into the hands of the 'Songshi' family... That is the 'Philosopher's Stone'. Even if you can't use it, you can still sell it for a good price."

"It's a pity that the Songshi family..."

Bain sighed sadly.

I'm not in Ai City, so I don't know how terrible the Songshi family is.

If you don’t enter the mysterious side of Ai City, you won’t know how powerful the ‘Songshi’ family is.

What the other party wants is definitely not something that he, a little herder, can get his hands on. Even if he knows it, he just knows it.

That's all.

Nothing else.

Qin Ran also remained silent.

It seemed that he was acknowledging Bain's words.

As for Kieran’s true thoughts?

Only Qin Ran himself knows.

After that, the two sides returned to their normal routines again, with Qin Ran listening silently as Bain rambled on.

Bain didn't stop until the smell of cheese and lobster came from the kitchen.

He stared blankly in the direction of the kitchen.

His saliva flowed down unconsciously.

And when Mimosa appeared with a red and yellow plate of cheese-baked lobster that made people appetizing at first glance, Bain stood up without even realizing it.

"do not move."

"mine."

"sit down."

Kieran turned to Bain and said something before taking the plate.

Bain, who was sitting there, couldn't help but swallow as he watched Kieran eat the cheese lobster spoon by spoon, pulling the cheese out into long strands.

His eyes subconsciously looked at Mimosa, wanting to say something.

However, before he could speak, he was interrupted by a warning whimper.

The elite 'evil dogs' crawling at the door of the kitchen stood up, and the 'evil dogs' hiding in the corner of the restaurant gathered around the mimosa at some point.

The six 'evil dogs' looked at Bain eagerly, and if you dare to speak, we will kill you.

Because they know very well that a lobster is only so big, and there are only so many leftovers. If they eat one portion of the "spare dry food" in front of them, they will naturally get one less portion.

Listen to the orders given by Master No. 1.

Eat food cooked by owner number two.

This is a joy they have only recently discovered.

Someone interrupts their fun.

Naturally, he will fight to the death.

"It's okay, they don't bite."

Mimosa touched the heads of the ‘evil dogs’ and said to Bain with a smile.

Bain smiled dryly.

What could he say.

Yes, no biting.

They want to eat me.

Without speaking again, provoking the bottom line of a group of 'evil dogs', Bain watched helplessly as Mimosa brought out a basin of lobster juice and drenched it on the rice.

Watching the rice being put into the rice bowl one by one, and the 'evil dogs' eating it happily, Bain swallowed again.

Damn it!

It must not be delicious!

There's not even lobster, only a little juice left. Can it be delicious?

But……

It smells so good!
