Chapter 421 It tastes good when eaten
After the Flower God's Birthday Festival ended, the lively atmosphere gradually subsided, but compared to the usual peaceful life, Xumi City was still much more lively.
Last year, the little auspicious grass king used his divine power to create a huge vine. After a year of construction, stairs, walkways, and sightseeing platforms were added to the outside, and elevators were built in the space vacated inside.
In this way, the "air" commercial street built inside a giant vine spanning in mid-air was officially opened.
According to the plan of the Great Compassionate Tree King, she was going to build a large shopping mall inside the vines. Being located in the air could also solve the problem of insufficient land.
"This place is really high, but it's still a long way from Xiaobai's room, and there's no way out..."
"Ahhh, if only I could fly..."
Lying on the railing of the observation platform, the pink-haired girl named Charlotte looked back at the room higher up the vines, but was very distressed because she couldn't get through.
After the Flower Goddess Birthday Festival ended yesterday, she waited on the road leading to Jingshan Palace just like she did last year, intending to interview the two again.
In the end, Liu Bai and Nashida did not come, but the Great Tree King and Apep.
Although the Great Compassion Tree King told her that Liu Bai's resting room was high up in the giant vine, Charlotte had no idea how to get up there...
There is no law in Xumi that prohibits the release of flying objects in the first few days of each month, but as a foreigner, she doesn't know where to organize a hot air balloon and fly up.
While Charlotte was worried, Liu Bai went to do his daily commission as usual.
"..."
After completing the daily commission, Liu Bai looked at the rapidly changing words above Qingqing's head and fell into deep thought.
"Qingqing, snap your fingers."
"Snapping fingers? I don't understand..."
Liu Bai reminded Qingqing, but Qingqing could only tilt her head in confusion.
Liu Bai carefully observed Qingqing's body and found that it didn't even have hands, let alone fingers!
"Well……"
This made Liu Bai even more distressed.
Is there no way to give Qingqing superpowers as well?
After thinking for a while, Liu Bai tried to grab Qingqing and let it stand on his right shoulder.
Then Liu Bai raised his right hand.
Snapped--
"System, look, Qingqing snapped her fingers."
Liu Bai looked at the system seriously.
system:"……"
The system did not make any sound, but the words that were jumping rapidly above Qingqing's head finally stopped.
[Superpower: Everything you eat tastes delicious. Any food you taste will become more delicious, only the taste.]
"Well?"
Qingqing seemed to sense something and raised her head in confusion.
However, its cap is so large that it cannot see the words above its head.
"This is a great ability. Being able to eat is a blessing."
Seeing that Qingqing had acquired such super powers, Liu Bai nodded with satisfaction and reached out to touch Qingqing.
Although Qingqing didn't know what was going on, it jumped twice on Liu Bai's shoulders happily because of being "praised", and rubbed Liu Bai's ears with its soft mushroom cap.
"Let's go eat coconut charcoal cakes!"
Then Liu Bai immediately took Qingqing to the pub to buy the special coconut charcoal cakes.
"Sand, bah, bah, I don't like it..."
Qingqing shook her head on Liu Bai's shoulder, but still followed Liu Bai to buy two coconut charcoal cakes.
Liu Bai took a bite and found that it tasted okay except that it was a bit choking.
Qingqing couldn't avoid the coconut charcoal cake that Liu Bai stuffed into her, so she had to take a small bite.
"Hmm? Delicious, sand..."
"Sand? Delicious?"
Qingqing felt that the thing in her mouth tasted similar to sand, but it tasted unexpectedly delicious.
So the two of them sat down and ate the coconut charcoal cakes that tasted like sand.
"Okay, take your drink~"
Just as Liu Bai was choking and beating his chest, someone suddenly handed him a drink.
Liu Bai took it without saying a word and poured it into his mouth.
"Ah, I almost died here..."
Liu Bai finally came to his senses. This coconut charcoal cake was even drier than the driest biscuit he had ever eaten.
"Finally I found you, Xiaobai. Could you please accept my interview? Please, please~"
The pink-haired girl who handed over the drink sat down next to Liu Bai, picked up her camera with both hands and asked Liu Bai expectantly.
People who read newspapers will subconsciously pay attention to news related to gods, even if it has nothing to do with themselves. Charlotte came to Xumi this time just to interview Liu Bai.
As for why it was Liu Bai, it was because she felt that if she interviewed the two grass gods, she might not be able to get any explosive content.
"…Do you have five million Mora before that?"
Liu Bai did not agree directly, but suddenly asked Charlotte.
"Eh hey hey? Are you one of those big shots who needs to be paid for an interview? Although it seems that you are..."
Charlotte was shocked to hear that Liu Bai wanted to charge money, but she quickly realized that there was nothing wrong with it.
In Fontaine, if you want to see the water god, you have to make an appointment after a long time. Since Liu Bai is the lover of the god, his status should not be too bad.
"Oh, but I haven't had any hot news in a long time, and I don't even have any bonuses. How can I get so much money? Xiaobai, please have pity on me..."
Charlotte had no choice but to speak to Liu Bai with a pitiful expression.
"It's not about charging for the interview. It's about you giving me five million Mora to buy a superpower from me. The interview has nothing to do with this."
Liu Bai shook his head and explained to Charlotte.
"Oh, I understand, I understand. You can't charge openly, right?"
"Hehe, but don't forget my identity. I will publish the fact that you accepted bribes in the newspaper and send it to the Ministry of Education..."
Charlotte nodded in understanding. As a reporter, she had certainly encountered this kind of situation before, but she felt something was wrong as soon as she finished speaking.
"Wow, you think too much, little pink..."
"Forget it, if you don't have money, I'll give you one for free, do you want it?"
Liu Bai was speechless about Charlotte's reaction, so he just waved his hand and said this.
"Hmm? Do you really have something to sell? I can give you five million, if you need it..."
Finding that Liu Bai seemed to really want to sell something, Charlotte asked with some confusion.
"Okay, okay, then give it to me~"
Hearing that Charlotte was rich, Liu Bai immediately gave up the idea of giving it away for free and stretched out his hands expectantly.
"You can't lie to me. This is the money I saved to buy a new camera..."
Charlotte looked at Liu Bai's outstretched hand and took out the Northland Bank's savings card with some depression.
Since it is called a bank, it naturally has things like passbooks, and using savings cards is a more popular form of banking in Northland Bank.
"Don't worry, little pinky. Come on, snap your fingers."
Liu Bai reached out and took Charlotte's savings card, then reminded her.
"Snap your fingers?"
Charlotte was a little confused.
"Wait, you don't mean for me to spend money to buy a snap, right? Then you should at least snap your fingers for me to hear..."
Charlotte was speechless when she thought of this possibility.
But she still cooperated and snapped her fingers.
[Superpower: Life magic weapon, you can permanently bind an item of your own to it, giving it the ability to grow, and you can freely control it to fly and fight the enemy.]
