Chapter 657 Hot Pot Game
Kamisato Ayaka was full of confusion. What was the reason behind this?
When Thomas heard Kamisato Ayaka's question, he scratched his head awkwardly and said, "I don't know either, but it should have nothing to do with us. Anyway, they are very busy recently and should not have time to trouble us." Although Thomas said this, he was a little worried in his heart.
Kamisato Ayaka heard Thomas say this and agreed with his point of view, "Well... that makes sense... being nervous all the time will only increase fatigue, so it's better to take a good rest." At this point, Kamisato Ayaka looked at Thomas with a hint of expectation in her eyes, "Thomas, do you have any suggestions?" Thomas has always been good at what to do during a break, commonly known as having many ideas. This is why Kamisato Ayaka asked Thomas directly.
Thomas became alert immediately after hearing what Kamisato Ayaka said, his face filled with excitement, and he expressed his thoughts very smoothly, "It's time for the celebration banquet, so how about we all eat hot pot together?" At this point, Thomas looked at the people at the table with a smirk on his face, "To be honest, I just learned a new "hot pot game" recently, which is very interesting." Thomas said while rubbing his hands, as if he couldn't wait to start the game.
When Paimon heard what Thomas said, he was a little puzzled, "Hot pot game, what is that? It sounds like it has something to do with food..." When it comes to eating, Paimon's eyes suddenly lit up. If there is anything that can directly attract Paimon's attention, it must be food.
After hearing what Paimon said, Thomas also explained the rules of the hot pot game, "To put it simply, everyone prepares different ingredients and puts them in the pot to cook together. Then close your eyes and take turns to fish food out of the pot, taste it, and guess who put it in. The person who guesses correctly will trigger "one more time", and the person with the highest score in the end is said to be blessed by the God of Hot Pot. Sounds interesting, right? I can't wait, or rather, I have prepared all the ingredients!" Thomas became more and more excited, with excitement flashing in his eyes. As he spoke, he took out a package from behind him.
Paimon looked at Thomas' eagerness to try, and felt a little speechless for a moment. Why did he seem to be more active than the participants? "How much do you want to play!" After complaining, Paimon looked at Sora, "No way... Traveler, let's prepare some ingredients. What do you think is better?" Paimon said while gesturing in the air, trying to get some good ingredient suggestions from Sora. Her eyes were full of expectation, hoping that Sora could give some delicious and interesting ingredient choices.
After hearing what Paimon said, Sora frowned slightly and fell into a brief contemplation. The thrilling adventure he had just experienced in the town magistrate was still vivid in his mind. The fierce confrontation and tense confrontation made his heart beat faster every moment. At this moment, he really didn't want to continue to toss and turn, and just wanted to enjoy a normal hot pot meal quietly, so that his body and mind could be soothed in peace.
"Then let's play a more normal combination." Kong said softly, with a hint of relief after exhaustion in his tone. He remembered the tension and pressure when facing various emergencies in the town magistrate's office. Now he just hoped that this hot pot meal could return to normal, without waves and accidents. Those tense nerves in the battle needed to be relaxed in this warm hot pot meal.
Lin Feng smiled slightly as he watched this scene, with a hint of cunning in his smile. He quietly took out an exquisite box from his bag, which was engraved with exquisite patterns and shone with a mysterious luster under the weak light.
These were the various bugs he had carefully collected while traveling around the Seven Kingdoms, most of which were "upgrade materials". These bugs were placed in a box, and at this moment they were wriggling restlessly, making subtle noises.
Lin Feng looked at the bugs in the box and smiled secretly. He could already imagine the shocked and disgusted expressions of the people when they saw these bugs. He imagined the surprised reactions of the people sitting around the hot pot when they saw these strange ingredients, and he couldn't help but find it funny. "You will be surprised later." Lin Feng muttered quietly, with a gleam of anticipation in his eyes.
Then began the thrilling part of putting the ingredients in. Kamisato Ayaka stood up first. Her movements were graceful and light, like a dancing butterfly.
Next came Thomas, a warm smile on his face.
When it was Sora's turn, he methodically took out some "relatively" normal ingredients.
After a circle, they finally arrived at Lin Feng's place. After everyone was blindfolded, Lin Feng showed a wicked smile on his face, and without hesitation, he poured all the insects in the box into the boiling hot pot. As soon as the insects came into contact with the hot water, they immediately made a noisy and subtle struggling sound, and the water surface in the pot instantly rippled violently. Some insects twisted their bodies frantically on the water surface, trying to escape from the boiling hot water; some were quickly scalded and curled up, floating on the water surface, showing various weird postures.
Then everyone blindfolded themselves and began the countdown. During this short countdown, the room was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere. Everyone was guessing the taste and scene that would be presented in the hot pot, and their hearts were full of curiosity.
After the countdown, everyone took off their blindfolds and looked at the ingredients in the hot pot, and instantly fell into silence. There were all kinds of strange things floating in the hot pot. The shell of the beetle became somewhat transparent in the hot water, and you could clearly see the internal organs wriggling slightly, like a strange little monster; other insects were also twisting their bodies in the pot, and some were still struggling in vain, emitting a pungent and strange smell that filled the entire room. The originally clear and delicious soup base became turbid, and all kinds of strange colors mixed together, making people feel their stomachs churning.
Paimon looked at the scene and couldn't help but complain loudly, "I didn't expect that only the traveler put in normal ingredients in the end... You two, don't waste food!"
As he spoke, Paimeng frowned and picked up a beetle. The beetle's claws were still waving, as if it was making its last struggle. Paimeng looked at the insect in her hand, her face turned pale in an instant, and a strong feeling of nausea surged in her heart. She couldn't help but lie under the table and vomit violently.
