Chapter 792: If you lose...

The banquet was in progress...

The Maya chief sat beside the queen, and a Maya woman approached with a crudely-made clay pot, pouring a cup of pitch-black water from it and handing it to the Maya chief.

Then, the chief presented the cup of pitch-black water to the queen, "Respected Queen of the Kingdom of Gran, please taste our most delicious food. If you like it, I can send you more."

"The most delicious?" The queen immediately became delighted, although her happiness was not easily discernible to those unfamiliar with her. She maintained her poker face, emanating an aura of solemnity.

She took the cup and calmly asked, "What is this?"

The chief replied, "This is called xocoatl!"

Since this item did not exist in the Kingdom of Gran, there was no corresponding translation in the Gran language. Therefore, the translator could only provide the pronunciation directly.

After finishing the translation, the translator added in a low voice in the language of the Kingdom of Gran, "Your Majesty, it's better not to drink this strange water without caution. It's highly suspicious. While these natives may possess some good things, their culture is not as advanced, and their thinking is still quite primitive. The food they offer may contain poison, unbeknownst to them. It's possible that eating their food indiscriminately could lead to problems. Trying things like tomatoes or chili that have been tested by others is fine, but we have never even heard of this thing called xocoatl. What if it upsets our stomachs...?"

Before the translator could finish their lengthy and pointless speech, the queen had already poured the black liquid from the cup into her mouth. Whether it was poisoned or not, it didn't matter, as she had Robb beside her, and even if she died from poisoning, she could be resurrected. It wouldn't be in the style of the Queen to refrain from eating something that might be delicious. Having a good time and then dying, experiencing the feeling of resurrection, wouldn't be bad either.

However, as soon as the water entered her mouth, the queen's expression changed. Damn, what is this strange thing? It's both spicy and bitter! An indescribably horrifying taste. Wasn't this supposed to be the most delicious food of the Maya continent? How could it be like this?

She spurted out all the xocoatl she had just drunk.

"Oh? You cant handle it?" The Maya chief expressed great regret. "We all find it delicious."

"Delicious my ass! How can it be spicy?" The queen protested. "This crappy thing is supposedly the most delicious food of the Maya continent? What kind of garbage did you grow up eating? I don't want it anymore. You don't need to offer it to me again."

The translator sweated profusely, thinking, [How can I translate this without offending the natives?]

"What?" Robb was surprised. "What kind of strange bet is this?"

"Mind your own business. This is how I want to bet!"

"Well, then let's bet like that."

Robb turned to the Maya chief and said, "Elder Chief, I want a few black beans used for making this xocoatl. Oh, don't worry, I know that thing is almost equivalent to money here, so I won't ask for it for free. I'll exchange it with a large barrel of Coca-Cola. Is that okay?"

The chief was instantly delighted. He had just tasted the Coca-Cola. In the future, when gathering with other tribal elders, he would take out a cup of Coca-Cola and make the others extremely envious.

As for the black beans, although they were precious, they could be harvested again next year.

The chief took a small bag from his waist and pulled out a handful of black beans, handing them over to Robb.

These things were indeed the currency of the Maya continent, so the chief carried them with him and could use them as money anytime. It was like how the people of the Kingdom of Gran carried gold coins.

Robb then had someone bring milk and white sugar.

As soon as the queen saw the white sugar, she began to feel uneasy inside. Did he need sugar to make this thing? Uh-oh! He's probably going to make something delicious again.

Robb crushed the black beans one by one into powder, mixed them with milk and white sugar, and cooked it all together. Somehow, it turned into a pot of sticky and strange liquid. Then, he waved his hand and used an ice ring spell to solidify the entire pot of strange liquid.

Turning to the queen, he chuckled and said, "Get ready for me to kiss you."
