Chapter 121 Cliff Top
Another quarter of an hour later.
Gothe followed Candice, leaving the last step of the stone steps and returning to the top of Coolie Cliff.
The other four people have been at the top of the cliff for some time and are all resting now.
Luca, who was walking at the front and carrying the largest weight of water gold ore on his back, was as tired as dried salted fish. He lay motionless on the ground panting.
Seeing Candice and Gothe climb up, everyone just glanced at them feebly and didn't even have the strength to speak.
As soon as she reached the top of the cliff, Candice didn't care about the ladylike posture and aristocratic etiquette, and sat cross-legged on the ground without any image, completely exhausted.
"Candice" Royas, who had been resting for a while, hesitated and stood up.
He walked up to Candice and handed her a bottle of orange potion.
"Physical recovery potions, I have asked instructor Shahu. Drinking recovery potions is allowed and does not constitute a violation." Royas said.
Candice raised her head and glanced at Royas, and finally waved her hand and said softly: "Thank you, I don't need it for the time being."
"Candice" After being rejected, Royas's face seemed to turn pale. A few points.
Luca, who had already sat up from the ground, glanced at this scene, with a sneer on his lips.
In his opinion, it was childish and a loss of points for Royas to want to "please" Candice but was rejected.
But Candice does have some beauty, her facial features are delicate and small, and her brown hair is smooth and dazzling.
Even though her face is pale from exhaustion and her head is covered with sweat, you can still feel the noble temperament in her body that cannot be concealed by fatigue.
"Brother Kaplan, how was the harvest this morning?" He suddenly asked Kaplan loudly: "I dug a full thirty kilograms this morning. If I work harder in the afternoon, another thirty kilograms will not be a problem. "
Kaplan was suddenly called out and was stunned for a moment. He soon understood what his "good brother" was thinking.
Want to use this method to attract Candice's attention and show off your "muscles"?
Of course he was unwilling to let Luke's wish succeed.
The problem was that the weight of the hydrogold ore on Luke's back was much greater than his own, and he was unable to refute it.
With a roll of his eyes, Kaplan decided to change the topic.
"Gaode, you see we have gained something more or less. Even Candice has more than ten kilograms of water gold ore." He turned his eyes to Gaode and pretended not to After hearing Luke's question, Gothe was persuaded "in good faith".
"You have been working in vain all morning. You should recognize the reality, throw away your unrealistic delusions, and work honestly in the mines like us."
Several other people heard this They all nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Kaplan's words.
"It's okay, I'll try again. I was busy practicing water this morning, so I didn't find much clams." Gao De said with a smile.
It's not that he can't see the "little thoughts" of several people, but he is too lazy to argue with them.
Gaode, who came from time-travel, has a mentality that is inconsistent with his age.
For these means of deliberately speaking loudly to attract the attention of little girls, which can only be seen in middle and high school, he just feels that the little boys in every world are really the same "cute"!
Kaplan originally just wanted to change the topic, but when he saw Gothe being so unresponsive, he actually became anxious:
"Didn't you hear what Instructor Shahu said? Collecting clams is harder than mining, not to mention that you are still a half-baked learner of diving."
"It's impossible to collect clams!"
"How will you know if you don't try?" Gothe replied with still a smile. Compared to everyone who was out of breath, his state was obviously much more relaxed and leisurely.
"Why are you so stubborn?" Kaplan was inexplicably angry, "I dare to bet you that even if another week passes, you will still have nothing to gain!"
" Then you have lost the bet." Before Gothe could speak, Candice suddenly said.
"Huh?" Kaplan looked at Candice, not understanding what she meant.
“Look at Gothe’s backpack.” Candice said softly.
After everyone heard Candice's words, they subconsciously looked at Gothe's backpack.
It was with such a look that they suddenly realized that Gaode's backpack was not empty as they thought!
“Is this a maid clam?!” Kaplan couldn’t believe it.
"I was lucky on the last trip to the water and caught one." Gao De smiled shyly.
This maid clam is fifty kilograms of hydrogold ore.
And Kaplan worked desperately all morning, and the water gold ore he carried up the mountain was only about 25 kilograms
"You can't be so lucky every time." Kaplan suddenly rose. She blushed and held back such words.
Gaode pretended not to hear it and smiled, "I'm going back to eat first."
After working like this all morning, he was already hungry, and it was already time for lunch.
Not just him, but others too.
It’s just that everyone is on a mission for the first time and has no experience. No one has brought dry food.
After working hard all morning, if you don’t replenish energy through meals in time, your body will not be able to bear it. Therefore, the top priority should be to go back to eat quickly instead of being "jealous" here.
Gothe put his morning "harvest" on the top of the cliff first, and walked towards his "dormitory" dressed in light clothes.
His movements were very neat and he walked away quickly.
With Gothe's departure, the atmosphere on the court became a little subtle due to the previous dialogue.
The remaining five people had different thoughts. Some were simply envious of Gaode's good luck, while others had complex emotions such as embarrassment and embarrassment.
Finally, Jelika stood up staggeringly and whispered to Candice who was still sitting on the ground: "Let's go too. If we don't eat something, the afternoon's task will be even more difficult. Done.”
She could see that Candice's legs were weak now and it was difficult to walk, so she wanted to take her with her out of good intentions.
After hearing this, Candice came to her senses, nodded, and with the help of Jelika, they left the top of the cliff together.
Kaplan was still standing there, his expression still not fully restored. He took a deep breath and suppressed the unwillingness and shame in his heart.
He knew that what he just blurted out was too impulsive and seemed too petty.
But seeing Gothe getting good luck easily, he felt unbalanced.
"I don't believe you can be so lucky this afternoon!" Kaplan thought to himself, then turned around and walked towards the college with heavy steps.
Gaode first returned to No. 30, District 1, took a shower and changed into clean clothes.
I rubbed my morning clothes again and hung them on the balcony to dry. Then I left the "dormitory" and came to the restaurant.
Even after all this trouble, it was already past meal time, but there were still many people in the restaurant.
Obviously, many students in the college do not strictly follow a fixed time for meals.
At the same time, Gaode noticed that the words on the water sign at the entrance of the restaurant had changed compared to yesterday.
Today’s special food: “Charcoal grilled centipede”, 8 silver/portion.
Hiss - Gothe, who had seen and tried the "charcoal-grilled bird spider" yesterday, couldn't help but gasped when he saw the name "charcoal-grilled centipede".
It’s really so heavy-handed, isn’t it?
And it’s so expensive, 8 silver coins a portion. I can’t eat anything with this money, like a broken centipede, etc. This price seems to be cheaper than yesterday’s “Charcoal Grilled Bird Spider”. It’s high. De fell into thought.
Five minutes later.
"Sir, your charcoal-grilled centipede is carefully cooked, please enjoy it!" The service staff brought a large plate of "charcoal-grilled centipede" to Gaode's table.
A bottle of wine comes with the meal.
Gaode, whose curiosity once again suppressed his rationality, silently looked at the special delicacy in front of him.
His eyes were slightly confused at first.
Because at first glance, I didn't see the so-called "centipede" at all.
What he saw were five round and plump onions, golden in color and slightly burnt on the outside, arranged in a ring on the plate.
Of course, it’s not a scam.
The real protagonist, the charcoal-grilled centipede, is cleverly hidden in the onion wrapper.
Gaode used a knife and fork to cut the onion from the top.
A complex aroma that combines the aroma of charcoal, sweet honey, pungent spices and the unique flavor of the centipede instantly hits your nostrils and makes your mouth twitch.
Each centipede wrapped inside the onion has been carefully processed and the inedible parts have been removed, leaving only the body with the most delicious flesh, showing an attractive amber color.
They are covered with a thin coating of honey, spices and special sauce.
Gaode picked up a centipede and a small piece of onion and stuffed them into his mouth.
When you take the first bite, the sweetness and spiciness of onions bloom in your mouth.
Immediately afterwards, the deliciousness and unique taste of the charcoal-grilled centipede came one after another.
After being slow-roasted over charcoal fire, the outer skin of the centipede becomes crispy and golden, while the inner meat remains just right tender, smooth and juicy.
The crispiness on the outside is in sharp contrast with the tenderness on the inside, and the subtle flavor enhancement of spices makes the whole dish rich in texture and endlessly memorable.
The bottle of wine that comes with the meal is onion wine. The unique flavor is the finishing touch. It perfectly neutralizes the fishy smell of the centipede and makes the taste of the whole dish more harmonious and unified.
After eating the charcoal-roasted centipede, Gothe felt the slight heat flowing from his body again.
His body was constantly hit by the cold while diving, and even after landing on shore, there was still some biting cold that lingered inside his body.
Now, under the heat brought by this "charcoal grilled centipede", the chill has also been dispelled.
