Chapter 435: Chapter 259 Emp... Employer?_1
“My sister saves a strange fellow who didn’t say a single word of thanks. All he does is stare at those rotten leaves.” Ai Wei grumbled, her mouth twisted into a scowl.
He was the chubby adventurer who parachuted into the Black Mountain King’s Court, only to get stuck on the rooftop by accident.
Lily, on the other hand, had a different opinion, “Not at all, he’s quite handsome. Are you saying that my sister’s crops are terrible? You’re so dead.”
“Handsome, my ass. You need to reset your aesthetic criteria. Besides, if those aren’t rotten leaves, then what are they? This cabbage she grows on the ground is as long as an arm, weighs three or four pounds. It’s dry, yellow and has no taste.” Ai Wei retorted, getting agitated by the discussion.
Lily sneered at him, “I didn’t see you hold back. It’s always you who are eager to wolf down the most.”
“Um...” Ai Wei scratched his head, then said, “If we don’t eat vegetables, we will get rough skin, bad breath, bleeding gums, and easily fall sick. I eat them reluctantly.”
While the pair bickered quietly at the front of the ship, Jelis, who was at the stern, giggled a bit but did not do much to introduce Ange further.
Though in the other plane’s vast ocean, everyone was human and expected to help each other, Jelis felt a bit alarmed at Ange who, without any malicious intent, managed to see through the key advantage of her vegetable patch straight away.
Everyone could plant vegetables on the ship, but the ‘soilless’ technique was something she solo-researched and was quite valuable in this sea.
Why was it only of value ‘in this sea’?
Because the Master Plane had land, even barren land when tilled could produce more crops than her soilless vegetables.
Soilless vegetables required frequent water changes. The sea in the master plane was salty, and fresh water was scarce. It couldn’t be used for crop cultivation.
Only in this freshwater sea, where freshwater was abundant and there was a strong demand for vegetables, did the idea of soilless vegetables hold any value.
Seeing the Holy Fire in his hand, Jelis asked in astonishment, “Holy Fire? Are you a follower of the Church of Light?”
Ange tilted his head.
“You look like such a dolt, never mind, do you want something to eat?” Jelis was annoyed. What did he mean by tilting his head, neither nodding nor shaking?
However, she became a bit less cautious. In this dimension, the Church of Light was a reliable and trustworthy force she could count on.
Ange shook his head.
She got even angrier when he shook his head: “I see you can shake your head! Ah! You’re driving me mad! Stay on your own, and do not touch my vegetables. I am off to adjust the sail.”
Negris burst into laughter, another one has been exasperated by Ange. He loved this feeling, when everyone else annoyed with Ange, he felt content.
But soon he noticed something that infuriated him – Ange was munching down the Holy Fire.
It would have taken the Little Ghost at least a month or two to finish the Fire of Mass Faith, but Ange finished it in two bites? Why didn’t he eat it at first?
Ah, he saved it for the Little Ghost.
Then why did he eat it now?
Ange reached into the Temple of Rest and pulled out a huge wooden barrel.
Negris was furious, “Kvada! You ate up the Fire of Mass Faith just to grab a wooden barrel? Are you planning to use this barrel to plant crops?”
