Is Your Idea of "Eating" Wholesome?

"Haijing University of Technology!"

Lin Baici was still quite proud of his school. He'd gotten good grades: "I did way better than usual this year!"

"We're in the same city!"

Hua Yueyu was delighted. "I'm at Haijing University, studying business administration!"

"That's great. The new semester's started, so we can get together!"

Lin Baici knew his childhood friend Li Wei liked watching livestreams—the freeloading kind. If he found out Lin Baici knew Hua Yueyu, he'd be thrilled and insist on taking a picture with her.

"You bet! Haijing's my turf. When you get here, I'll arrange a feast fit for a king, and then we'll get you a dragon too."

Hua Yueyu was clearly a social butterfly. Lin Baici wasn't sure whether it was because she'd had a little beer and was feeling the vibe, or because they'd gotten to know each other. Either way, she was becoming more and more casual with him.

"By the way, Xiao Bai, are there any female anchors you like? I can help you set up a date!"

Hua Yueyu could tell that Lin Baici's family wasn't well-off, but that was fine.

He was handsome!

And now he was a God Hunter—a stock with enormous potential!

Well!

As long as he didn't die in the God Ruins.

"Not at the moment!"

Lin Baici shook his head.

"Don't be shy. If there's someone you like, just say so. Your Sister Yu has plenty of connections!"

Hua Yueyu offered generously.

Damn, is this woman a pimp? She's actually using this to win over Oppa!

Jin Yingzhen wanted to say, What good are a few female anchors?

I could call over members of a top girl group to keep you company over drinks.

But that would make her sound shallow.

The way the Goryeo girl had been raised wouldn't allow her to do that, so she smiled and changed the subject.

"Oppa, what are you planning to do with those God's Taboo Objects?"

Jin Yingzhen reminded him, "Generally speaking, God's Taboo Objects can only be used after a specialist seals them with a Black Coffin Seal. Otherwise, there's a chance their Rule Pollution could leak out."

In fact, because of Lin Baici's God's Taboo Objects, the entire Hilton Hotel was now at serious risk.

The Muscle Buddha might activate in the middle of the night and start killing people at random throughout the hotel.

"How do I find a specialist?"

Lin Baici frowned.

These four God's Taboo Objects were like time bombs. They really were a problem.

"You can go to your country's official organization, or to the Hunter underground black market. But the black market usually rips people off!"

Jin Yingzhen advised, "You're still a newcomer. Without someone to show you the ropes, you won't find the underground black market. And even if you do, you could easily get taken advantage of!"

"My country's official organization?"

Lin Baici was curious. "What's it called?"

"The Nine Provinces Divine Shield Security Agency!"

Jin Yingzhen had heard about it from her older brother.

"Will they confiscate Xiao Bai's God's Taboo Objects?"

Hua Yueyu was worried.

"I don't know!"

Jin Yingzhen only knew the name of the organization. She didn't know what its reputation was like.

"How much are these God's Taboo Objects worth?"

Lin Baici wondered if he should sell one or two.

The Black Altar Bowl wasn't for sale!

If he put food inside it and left it there for just one minute, it would purify all impurities and toxins in the food.

Food cooked with gutter oil, expired snacks, drinks mixed with chemicals—he could put any of it in the Black Altar Bowl and eat it without worry.

In this day and age, when food safety had become a persistent problem, anyone with this Black Altar Bowl could live at least ten years longer.

Sickness enters through the mouth?

That would be a thing of the past!

Of course, the bowl's most important function was the "granary" inside it, where he could store anything.

With it, no matter how much stuff Lin Baici took on a trip, he could just put it all in the bowl, tuck the bowl into his backpack, and set off without a care.

The Bodhi Messenger Kasaya wasn't for sale either!

When he put it on, he could summon a muscular Buddha wearing nothing but a pair of leather shorts. It could help with the laundry and cooking, chop wood, and tend the horses.

And when a fight broke out, it could hand him a knife and bury the bodies.

Aside from occasionally acting up and punching its owner, it was impossible to find fault with it.

The rush-grass cushion seemed pretty useful too.

Anyone who sat on it to study could stay focused and full of energy, and remember everything they heard.

Though Lin Baici had absorbed the Divine Grace from it, other people could still improve their memory by using it for extended periods. It could even cure Alzheimer's.

What a shame!

If the cushion could cure Alzheimer's in just half a month, Lin Baici could lie at home and make money.

Last was the Pine Torch!

When it burned, it gave off a pleasant pine scent. It could ignite anything and burn it to ashes in a very short time.

Lin Baici didn't think he'd have much use for it. After all, arson could land him in jail!

And the torch was too dangerous. Anyone who saw it wanted to pick it up and play with it. After a while, they'd feel an intense urge to burn someone else—or themselves.

"In the Hunter circle, Meteor Coins rich in divine energy are the hard currency. They're made from Meteorite Stone. If you exchange them for ordinary money, you'll lose out!"

Jin Yingzhen licked her lips. "If you want to sell them, I can ask my brother. I promise you won't get ripped off!"

If he wanted to sell them for cash, she could make the call herself. Ten million, twenty million—it was no big deal. But Lin Baici had saved her life, so she couldn't take advantage of him.

"I think you should keep them!"

Hua Yueyu thought God's Taboo Objects were rare treasures. Once he sold them, it wouldn't be easy to buy them back.

"Oppa, there's no need to rush into a decision!"

Jin Yingzhen took a sip of juice, then handed the new iPhone to Lin Baici and Hua Yueyu.

"Thank you!"

Hua Yueyu accepted it with both hands. "I'll transfer the money to you later!"

It was the Pro Max model, the most powerful and expensive one, and cost over ten thousand yuan. But Hua Yueyu could easily afford it.

"It's just a phone!"

Jin Yingzhen wasn't going to take her money. She saw that Lin Baici hadn't taken the phone either. "Oppa?"

"It's too expensive!"

Lin Baici was embarrassed to accept it.

"Oppa, you saved my life!"

Jin Yingzhen stood up and held out the iPhone with both hands. She bowed at a ninety-degree angle as she offered it to him, her expression much more solemn than before.

"It's a small token of my appreciation!"

"Just take it!"

Hua Yueyu urged him.

Jin Yingzhen might be wearing shorts, a crop top, and flip-flops, dressed casually for home, and not seem to have anything valuable on her—but they were all luxury brands.

If Hua Yueyu remembered correctly, the purple flip-flops on her feet were Chanel.

They'd cost over seven thousand yuan.

It was just a phone. Jin Yingzhen really didn't care about the money.

"Thank you!"

Lin Baici accepted it. Refusing again would've seemed too fussy.

Besides, once he had money in the future, he could return the favor by giving Jin Yingzhen the latest iPhone model.

"Oppa, you don't need to be so polite with me!"

Jin Yingzhen sighed. Oppa had such good character. If he were one of those pretty boys her friends knew, he'd have taken the gift without a second thought and shamelessly called her his princess.

Hua Yueyu opened the box, took out the phone, and switched over her SIM card.

She discovered that it worked!

"Yay! That saves me the trouble of changing SIM cards!"

As soon as Hua Yueyu logged into WeChat, over a hundred messages popped up.

Especially in the more than twenty fan groups full of wealthy patrons, everyone was @-ing her. After all, she'd suddenly ended her livestream, and everyone was worried about her.

She'd deal with them later!

Hua Yueyu scooted over to Lin Baici. "Xiao Bai, are you all set? Let's add each other!"

"Just a moment!"

Lin Baici had been using his mom's old secondhand phone, which she'd replaced. It had cost just over a thousand yuan, so now that he'd suddenly gotten an iPhone, he needed a moment to get used to it.

"I'll show you!"

Hua Yueyu immediately turned into a home tutor, showing Lin Baici how to use it. "You need to download apps like WeChat and Meituan from the App Store!"

The phone was easy to use, and Lin Baici had activated Eidetic Memory. He only had to hear something once to remember it.

When Lin Baici activated this Divine Grace, he could remember anything he heard clearly for at least three years.

If he didn't activate it and just listened normally, he'd start forgetting after anywhere from half a month to a few months.

"Maybe I can become a top student someday!"

Lin Baici was looking forward to it.

"Xiao Bai, do you have a bank card?"

Hua Yueyu guessed he didn't.

"No!"

Lin Baici had just graduated from high school. He didn't have anything like that.

"It's inconvenient without a bank card. You should get one!"

The female anchor advised him.

Ding-dong!

Lin Baici received a transfer notification.

It was from Little Fish Person!

"What are you doing?"

Lin Baici was confused.

Little Fish Person was Hua Yueyu's WeChat nickname. They'd only just added each other!

"The limit's fifty thousand yuan per transaction per day. Don't think it's too little!"

Hua Yueyu was a little worried. It really wasn't much money.

Lin Baici rolled his eyes and didn't accept the transfer. He continued fiddling with his phone.

"Hey? You accepted it!"

Hua Yueyu urged him. "You've got to let me do something for you, at least. Otherwise, I won't feel right about it!"

"Weren't you going to give me a feast fit for a king?"

Lin Baici teased her.

"That's not the same thing!"

Hua Yueyu grew anxious. "I need to do something to repay you!"

"If you consider me a friend, don't keep score!"

Lin Baici certainly wasn't going to accept the money.

He hadn't saved anyone in the God Ruins for money.

"Mm!"

Hua Yueyu nodded. She'd remember what he'd done for her for the rest of her life.

[Both of them are gradually warming up to you. If you try a little harder, you'll be able to eat them!]

What do you mean by "eat"? Is that wholesome?

Lin Baici was startled. He still wasn't used to a voice suddenly speaking in his mind.

[They're both healthy and inexperienced. Whether for pleasure or for carrying on the family line, they'd make excellent partners!]

"..."

Lin Baici felt like he'd just learned something he wasn't supposed to know.

"Too bad I can't livestream from the God Ruins, or I'd be an instant hit!"

Now that Hua Yueyu was safe, she was already thinking about work again. The God's Taboo Game was thrilling and exciting. It would blow her Streamer Friends' minds.
