Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 994: 624. Youth admires beauty

“This is the Goldfish Branch, actually it’s a type of seasoning. Add it to dishes, and you won’t need to use MSG. The food you cook will be extremely fresh,” Shadow chuckled and said, “It really makes you feel like the world lights up with a bite. However, it’s named Goldfish Branch because after consuming it, your memory becomes especially poor for a day, forgetting many things, just like a goldfish. But sometimes, having too good a memory isn’t necessarily a good thing.”

Qing Chen glanced at Shadow, whose expression clearly held a trace of reminiscence.

Could it be that Shadow often used this Goldfish Branch as a condiment to forget some things?

Shadow strolled in the Taboo Land No. 10, where those originally terrifying creatures kept a distance from him.

“You can pick that purple grass. It’s called Zhi Lanxing. Holding one in your mouth speeds up cultivation. A grass grows seven spikes, and one spike can last you a week,” Shadow smiled at Qing Chen and said, “You’ve found another treasure this time. This thing is rare. What kind of dumb luck is this of yours?”

Qing Chen shook his head.

Zhi Lanxing is very important. Even someone who has never been to Taboo Land No. 10 has heard of this thing.

And Shadow pretends not to know there’s a Zhi Lanxing here.

But still, it’s not that Qing Chen is lucky; Shadow clearly knows there’s Zhi Lanxing here, so he specifically brought him to pick it.

This brother is now trying to give him the best things in the world.

“Don’t touch that thing that looks like a melon,” Shadow pointed remotely somewhere and said, “That thing is called Killer Melon. When any creature comes close to it, applies a certain force, it will explode immediately and has a kill radius of about five meters.”

Shadow turned to look at everyone, “In the early years, the wilderness people wrapped this thing as a weapon. After throwing it out, the exploding Killer Melon would have seeds splattering, embedded in the meat of the animals, using their blood and flesh as nutrients.”

Actually, the evolutionary direction of the plants in the Taboo Land mostly aims to ‘protect themselves’ and ‘spread seeds’.

Such as the Killer Melon, which evolved quite radically.

Most become bitter so that even if given, others won’t eat.

Suddenly, Qing Chen said, “Watch out!”

Shadow suddenly turned, only to see Zard already standing beside the Killer Melon, starting to poke it with his finger: “Let me demonstrate for everyone.”

With a loud bang, Zard’s obese body was thrown more than two meters away, his chest was blasted open with a big hole, and the plants wrapped inside fell to the ground.

Like a collection of items exploding everywhere.

Shadow: “?”

Luckily they were standing far enough to not be affected.

Even someone as knowledgeable as Shadow was a bit puzzled at Zard’s thought process.

Then they saw Zard stand up, remove the Killer Melon seeds embedded in his face, and his chest closed at a speed visible to the naked eye, looking as bizarre as can be.

Zard looked at everyone and laughed cheerfully, “The impact is quite strong. Don’t worry, Zhi Lanxing is fine.”

Qing Chen watched this scene, thinking Earth Element Awakeners are really unreasonable. After the body elementizes, except for being afraid of high temperatures glazing the body, it seems they’re not afraid of anything?!

Shadow looked at Zard, raised an eyebrow: “You love causing trouble, huh? Later, you’ll experience every bit of it.”

Zard grinned widely, “Alright.”

Qing Chen suddenly asked, “Zard, when you were a kid choosing your future, did you pick medical records…”

Zard laughed heartily, “Yeah, yeah…”

Just based on this guy’s attitude, Shadow is puzzled why the always calm and ruthless Qing Clan House Master can tolerate such a jumpy assassin?

However, the most painful at this time is Zhang Mengchan.

Since Zard exploded, the plants Xiao Mengqiu painstakingly dug before are now useless, and he has to dig them again.

The skin on the little boy’s hands has long been ruined, making any task incredibly painful.

Without Qing Chen speaking, he didn’t even dare to use Chicken Blood Sprout to treat his wounds.

Zhang Mengchan silently squatted on the ground, picked up the still intact plants, and handed them to Zard, then silently returned the way he came to dig up new ones to replace those that couldn’t be used.

Only then did Zard finally feel a bit embarrassed, scratching the back of his head, looking at Zhang Mengchan and saying, “Sorry… I’ll help you dig later.”

Zhang Mengchan smiled and said, “No need, the boss wants me to do it myself.”

“Oh well,” Zard pondered for a while: “Then next time I come, I’ll bring you candy.”

It seemed only at this moment was Zard relatively normal.

Sometimes Qing Chen feels this guy and Huan Yu are truly a great match, a pair of nutcases.

“Boss, what are you using these seedlings for… Relax, we understand, we know what to say and not to say, and in the Outer World, we’ll definitely remain silent,” Ma Jingjing said cautiously, “We’re just here for adventure, curious about the world of the Taboo Land.”

Qing Chen glanced at him, smiled faintly and said, “You’ll find out soon enough.”

After all, you will all be the laborers of the vegetable garden in the future… No, students of the Agricultural College.

After spending this time together, Ma Jingjing and the others, know not to ask what they shouldn’t or leak what shouldn’t be leaked. Though each has small quirks, they are all skilled workers.
