261: Chapter 261 No animal can escape the "it smells so good!" law!

The Foreigners watching were extremely uncomfortable.

Dragon Country was being too Versailles.

And they openly said it was 'easy-peasy'?

If it were them, could they do it easily?

Obviously not.

The first condition—pick 10 watermelons—they could complete.

The second condition—pick 20 watermelons and eat them.

Without a time limit, they could also complete that.

But the third condition's difficulty skyrocketed: not only pick 50 watermelons but also eat them within 20 minutes.

This was simply not a task condition one person could complete.

It was too harsh.

That's why the Foreigners were shouting 'unfair' in the live broadcast room.

Lighthouse Country: "Whose family member can pick 50 watermelons and eat them in 20 minutes?"

Philippines: "Exactly! Exactly!"

Monkey Country: "Besides, since it's the National Fortune Game, it should only count what the contestant from that country completes.

How can animals be counted?"

Kimchi Country: "Right! This is simply unfair."

"Only the Dragon Country Contestant's personal labor results should count, not the animals' labor too."

"..."

The countries united to protest together.

However, the Dragon Country Masses turned a deaf ear.

"A bunch of clowns."

"What's the use of protesting? Will the [National Fortune Game] pay you any mind?"

"You all can only bark here. If you have the guts, make your contestants train animals too."

"Hahaha! Wouldn't that be the death of them?"

"Just think about Third Brother's fate back then, and Spain's fate back then."

"Can their contestants compare to our Boss An?"

"..."

The Foreigners were furious. Although the Thousand Times Materialization conditions were now visible,

it was still very unfair for foreign contestants.

It was too hard for them to meet the materialization conditions.

Take the Kimchi Country contestant, for example.

Now he could also see the Thousand Times Materialization conditions:

[Thousand Times Materialization Piranha Conditions:

1: Catch 10 piranhas, or tame 10 piranhas.

Can Thousand Times Materialize all piranhas in this lake.

2: Catch 20 piranhas, or tame 20 piranhas.

Can Thousand Times Materialize all piranhas in this lake, and the piranhas will be docile and obedient.

3: Within 20 minutes, capture 50 piranhas, or tame 50 piranhas.

Can Thousand Times Materialize all piranhas in this lake, and the piranhas will be docile, obedient, with reproductive ability increased 3 times.]

Although piranha meat isn't great,

it's still meat, after all.

The Kimchi Country masses watched, their hearts stirred.

Forget about condition three; even condition one was somewhat difficult to achieve.

After all, those are piranhas. A slight misstep could lead to injury.

So, they could only use fishing methods. But now, animals in the [National Fortune Game] were getting smarter.

Fishing was too inefficient.

The Kimchi Country contestant struggled for a long time, not only failing to get a treasure chest but also not catching a single piranha.

What if it were An Ke?

Wouldn't he just casually have the crocodile act and easily capture them, meeting the hardest condition?

The more they thought like this, the more upset the Foreigners became, feeling it was unfair.

However, their protests had no effect; the [National Fortune Game] gave no feedback.

In the live broadcast room,

after eating the watermelon, a satisfied An Ke kept his word.

He took meat from his [Portable Space] and gave it to these Giant Centipedes.

It wasn't much—each Giant Centipede only got one rabbit.

But for the Giant Centipedes who had been starving for days, it was undoubtedly a huge surprise.

"Sir, you truly are a man of your word!"

"..."

The Giant Centipedes were very pleased that An Ke kept his promise.

However, when they saw the rabbit meat was cooked food, they were all taken aback.

They had never seen food like this.

Why was it still warm?

And there was no smell of blood. Could such food really be tasty?

"Sir, is this meat?"

One of the Giant Centipedes dared to ask An Ke.

"Correct!"

"But it's meat after being roasted."

"You can try it. If you don't think it tastes good, I can swap it."

Along the way, An Ke had tossed many small animals into his Portable Space.

If the Giant Centipedes wanted raw food, there was still some.

The reason An Ke didn't give it directly was to save it for Tiger Mom and Leopard Mom.

It could help regulate their digestion.

The Giant Centipedes exchanged glances, noncommittal.

Accustomed to raw food, they felt some resistance to this food in their hearts.

It felt like it would be hard to swallow, tasteless.

Around them, the animals and wild people ate their melons while watching the Giant Centipedes' reaction.

Leopard Mom couldn't help but laugh. She looked at Tiger Mom and said:

"Sister, you were just like this back in the day."

"At first, you stubbornly insisted cooked food wasn't tasty."

Tiger Mom felt a bit mortified. This memory felt like a black mark on her history.

If it were her from the beginning, she would have immediately retorted:

I didn't! I'm not that kind of tiger.

But after spending so much time together, Tiger Mom's tsundere personality had gradually toned down.

"The 'True Fragrance' Law is activating!" King Kong yelled while eating melon.

"What kind of 'True Fragrance' is this?" Old Crocodile sneered dismissively.

"Charred barbecue is the only truth!"

"You devil, you finally said something This mother loves to hear."

Sister-in-law Crocodile laughed loudly in agreement.

The animals around didn't make a sound, as they certainly couldn't agree with the love for burnt food.

One could only say, different strokes for different folks.

The animals' focus was on the Giant Centipedes.

Seeing their highly resistant expressions now, all the animals were waiting for the Giant Centipedes' "True Fragrance" Law.

One Giant Centipede tentatively tried the roasted rabbit meat.

It intended to take a small bite, then directly say it wasn't tasty and ask An Ke for raw meat.

But when it took a small bite, it froze.

The barbecue, after being upgraded by the "Cooking Squad," had many seasonings added.

Although it couldn't compare to barbecue in civilized society, it was still very fragrant.

The aroma spread through the Giant Centipede's mouthparts, lingering.

Around, the other Giant Centipedes were still waiting for their companion to speak up,

and then exchange for raw meat.

Then they saw the companion who had taken a bite of barbecue, without a word, start eating the barbecue in big mouthfuls.

Fragrant! Tasty! Delicious!

The surrounding Giant Centipedes were all stunned.

What! Was it that starved?

Weren't you supposed to just take a casual bite and then ask An Ke for raw meat?

Why are you eating it in big mouthfuls?

Was there "poison" in the barbecue?

Although the Giant Centipedes didn't understand this companion's behavior, seeing it eat heartily,

they could no longer resist and started eating too.

The next second, exclamations erupted from the Giant Centipedes on the scene.

"This strange meat is tens of thousands of times tastier than imagined!"

"So fragrant! So delicious!"

"To have the fortune to eat food with this flavor in this lifetime, I can die without regrets."

"..."

Watching the Giant Centipedes devouring the food, finishing the roasted rabbit in two or three bites,

all the animals felt happy.

Indeed, no matter what animal, none could escape the "True Fragrance" Law.

And the Giant Centipedes were left with an endless aftertaste.

It was just a pity there was no more.

So they swore to An Ke that they would definitely continue to lead him to find more delicious fruits...
