Chapter 7721 Fried River Melon Seed Shells Aren't Cheap

After Feng Ling left, Luo Bi was in a bit of a predicament.

Feng Ling, Roger, Wen Yao, and Qin Yilang have extensive connections and come from prestigious families. From time to time, familiar high-level, high-gene Thunderflame Warriors come to their garrison. Having a shrew around would be too conspicuous.

Subconsciously, people would assume there is a Beast Tamer.

Luo Bi doesn't have that talent, and she doesn't want people to misunderstand her, so why does she have to be so high-profile?

After thinking for a moment, Luo Bi stood up and placed the collected roasted river melon shells on the flat pebbles. The little shrew immediately went over, opened the small bundle, and happily packed them up.

"We'll visit relatives for a while and then leave." Luo Bi shooed away the millet rats: "You've been here for quite a while, let's go. I won't let you leave empty-handed."

I don’t know if the millet rats understood. Two millet rats left with small bundles on their backs, leaving four millet rats behind. Luo Bi guessed that these few were probably waiting to be packed up and fried with river melon shells.

Okay, she loves to eat them anyway, and she can eat sunflower seeds really fast.

Luo Bi went to the kitchen and sat on a small chair, focusing on peeling and roasting river melon seeds.

Li Feng glanced at the millet rat: "Two of them left?"

"Hmm," Luo Bi said, "They packed up the fried river melon seed shells and left."

Li Feng was also thinking about leaving a few to pack up later. He had already started braising the big red claw crab and the jumping shrimp, and planned to braise them and then stir-fry a few more plates with chili peppers.

After stir-frying the braised red-clawed crab, Li Feng served Luo Bi a plateful.

Luo Bi stopped eating the fried river melon seeds and started eating crab. Just as Li Feng started stir-frying the crab with chili peppers, the two millet rats that had left returned, carrying a bag of mushrooms. They opened it and showed it to Luo Bi.

Before Luo Bi could react, Li Feng gasped, "Wow, high-grade nutritious energy mushrooms!"

Luo Bi couldn't sit still any longer, so she went over and waved at the shrew: "Get out of the way, get out of the way."

The shrew stepped aside, and Luo Bi squatted down. She roughly counted them; the plump mushrooms were not large, but very tender. There were about eleven in two small bundles. Luo Bi beamed with joy.

Li Feng was extremely envious: "Your fried river melon seed shells aren't cheap."

Did Luo Bi give Shushu roasted river melon seeds with kernels inside? No, she gave Shushu the shells from when she ate the kernels. You'd think the shells would be lost anyway, but she traded them for a dozen or so high-grade mushrooms.

“I’m not taking advantage of this for nothing,” Luo Bi said.

Li Feng thought Luo Bi was going to give Shu Shu a small crystal or something, but instead, Luo Bi went back to the kitchen, picked out the hardest crab claw shell, and gave it to Shu Shu. She braised it, and Shu Shu had never eaten it before.

The millet rat took a bite, but good heavens, it couldn't chew it.

The millet rat put all its effort into gnawing.

Li Feng: "..."

The little mouse gnawed off a piece of crab claw shell, chewed it, and its eyes lit up. Each little mouse took a piece, opened its small bundle, packed it up, slung it over its shoulder, said goodbye to Luo Bi, and left.

Luo Bi tried to persuade her to stay: "Aren't you going to play anymore?"

The millet mouse waved its paws and squeaked, "I'm done playing."

Why are they running so fast? They got so much good food, and they came empty-handed. The little mice are clever; they were worried that Luo Bi would go back and not give them any more, so they ran away very quickly.

With the millet rat gone, the encampment immediately became quiet.

The soldiers helping in the kitchen were dumbfounded, unable to process what they'd just witnessed. They were... so easily fooled? River melon shells and crab claw shells—unwanted things—were exchanged for high-grade, nutritious mushrooms?!

Jiang Yixin ran back from the riverbank, and he could already smell the delicious food.

Upon seeing the high-quality, nutritious mushrooms, Jiang Yixin swallowed hard: "Wow, where did they come from?"

Luo Bi put the mushrooms away: "Mine." (End of Chapter)
