Splash!
Insights flowed into his head like waves.
At the same time, he could feel his core upgrading and filling his limbs with Insights.
This was too much!
‘Steady, I have to hold on!’
He tried to absorb the Insights while telling himself not to cause a ruckus in front of the expert. He did not want to upset the expert.
Lin Qingyun on the other hand, was looking at her bowl of soup like a worshipper. She could not control her excitement because it was a pot of soup made from the rarest ingredients.
Was this the bigshot lifestyle? This was a once in a lifetime soup.
She slowly scooped the soup with her spoon and drank it.
The texture of the soup was smooth and silky. The deliciousness took over her senses as it surrounded her tongue. She felt as if her every cell were cheering in enjoyment.
Gulp.
The delicious soup went down her throat, leaving a trail of everlasting aroma.
“Wow—” Lin Qingyun whimpered and closed her eyes, she was enjoying the time of her life.
There was some eagle meat in her mouth. She chewed on it and was surprised by the texture.
The eagle meat had been simmering in the clay pot and it was cooked thoroughly until it had a tender texture. The meat was not too hard to chew but it was not too mushy either. It was just right and it was incredibly juicy.
Delicious!
She did not know how else to describe the soup apart from the word ‘delicious’. This was the first time in her life that she was at a loss for words.
She wanted to take another sip, but she started blushing.
Her mind went blank and she felt her powers vibrating.
Lin Mufeng came back to his senses after a long time. He stared at the pot of soup in agony.
What was going on?
He understood that he might level up after drinking the soup since there were so many rare ingredients in it, but…why was he gaining Insights?!
The Insights were not as strong as the tea leaves from last time. However, there was a full pot of soup in front of them!
This was incredibly scary!
Were Insights worthless to experts?
He stared at the pot of eagle soup and tried to find the source of the Insights.
It was not the mountain eagle, not the Spiritual Herbs, and not the Thousand-Year Black Ice. He doubted that it was the Spiritual Water. Therefore, it must be the mushrooms and the touch of spring onions!
Yikes—
His theory made his hair stand on end.
He forced himself to calm down and carefully scooped another bowl. Intentionally, he scooped some mushrooms for himself, too.
This time, he no longer dared to drink it in one go. Instead, he took a small sip and ate a piece of mushroom.
The mushroom was soft and drenched in flavor. It was amazing but the soup tasted better.
Lin Mufeng did not care much about how it tasted. He bit down on a mushroom.
Splurt—
The mushroom was split apart. A special, mystical feeling came over Lin Mufeng. He suddenly understood.
These…
These mushrooms contained Insights!
He was baffled. He thought the most ordinary ingredients in the soup were the mushrooms and spring onions. However, that was far from it.
The mushrooms and spring onions were Insight-filled ingredients.
He had never seen or heard anything like this!
Damn, he was not at that level yet. He should have known the expert would not be planting ordinary vegetables.
“Brother Lin, Lady Lin, what are you guys doing? You’re eating at such a slow pace,” said Li Nianfan. He asked curiously, “Is the eagle soup not to your taste?”
He was confused about what they were thinking. Lin Mufeng drank a bowl and went blank for a long while. Lin Qingyun was worse, she only took a small sip and sat still.
Lin Mufeng jumped, almost scared to death. He quickly replied, “Of course not! This eagle soup is definitely the best thing I’ve ever tasted in my entire life! I’m enjoying it! Yes, because it’s too delicious, I can’t help but savor the aftertaste.”
Lin Qingyun continuously nodded, too. “Yeah, Mr. Li, we’re enjoying the aftertaste. It’s super tasty so we can’t help it.”
“I’m glad you like it, but perhaps you all should actually eat it before savoring the aftertaste,” laughed Li Nianfan.
Manner freaks.
They were eating meals as if they were tea-tasting. They needed time to enjoy the aftertaste after each sip.
However, it showed their respect toward the art of food. What a bunch of mannered people.
Lin Mufeng and Lin Qingyun looked troubled after hearing what the expert said.
It was disrespectful to eat slowly, but they could not handle it if they were to eat quickly!
Screw it! They could not displease the expert!
They clenched their jaws and ate faster.
They could barely handle it. They could feel Insights rushing into their bodies which were starting to burn up. They also could not hear anything. They felt extremely full.
However, they did not dare to show it. They just endured it with all their might.
They were at their limit and were sweating bullets, panting and blushing while feeling dizzy.
They were acting strange but Li Nianfan ignored it because it was not unusual to sweat while drinking warm soup.
Li Nianfan felt warm and cozy, too. He looked at the remaining pot of soup, then frowned and mumbled, “I have a television, but too bad I don’t have a refrigerator. I’ll have to pour away the remaining soup.”
The refrigerator?
Hint!
That was a hint!
It was our time to shine!
Lin Mufeng breathed heavily. He took one big breath to push down the Insights within him. Then, he said with a hoarse voice, “Mr. Li, may I ask what’s a refrigerator?”
Li Nianfan replied, “It was a thing used to store food. It could freeze food, thereby, preserve it.”
“I see.”
Lin Mufeng nodded. He had a few ice-type items in mind.
However, he shook his head and removed those items as options.
The items he was thinking of were probably of too poor quality for the expert. He could not present him with trash items.
The expert would never give obvious hints. It was not that simple. He had to put some thought into it.
Refrigerator, refrigerator…
He remembered the word and prioritized it. He did not dare to delay a mission assigned by the expert.
