Under the watchful eyes of the public, Men Qi threw caution to the wind.
Believe it or not, I'll test the poison myself, okay?
Men Qi put her hands on her hips and looked and behaved like this.
That sentence, coupled with his imposing manner, had indeed intimidated everyone.
Below the stage, Law shrank into the crowd and could only smile bitterly. The method he taught Men Qi was not [Detoxification]. It was just a method unknown to the world to neutralize the poison and turn it into an edible state.
The difference between neutralization and removal is that the former will change the original taste and taste, while the latter will not.
Sea pufferfish is a relatively special ingredient. Even if the toxin is neutralized, its taste and taste will change, but it is not a bad thing.
The guests in the audience talked about Men Qi's statement, and many people looked at Law frequently.
Many people saw clearly that Law leaned over and spoke in Men Qi's ear. At this time, Men Qi suddenly said that she could remove the poison from the sea pufferfish. It must have something to do with Law.
The two staff members stopped and looked back at the man with a moustache, waiting for the other party's order.
The man with a moustache signaled with his eyes to let the two staff members back down, then looked at Men Qi and said in a deep voice: "You just lost some money when you failed. If you fail this time, you may lose your life."
With that, he glanced under the stage and quickly found out where Law was.
Men Qi was actually feeling a little guilty, but she didn't seem to have a choice. Originally, she wanted to collect a large sum of money in the [Winner of the Game] segment so that she could leave the town and travel around the world. She wanted to see and taste delicacies that she had never tasted before.
She prepared for a long time and specialized in sea pufferfish because the profit of sea pufferfish was very high and she could get a lot of money at once. Who would have thought that when she was about to succeed, she would fail.
If she was given another chance, or two, she would have the confidence to succeed, but the organizers would certainly not give her a chance.
If she couldn't get any money, she could just run away and become a poor tourist. However, she just had to meet a nosy man. Otherwise, she would have run away long ago.
At present, she couldn't run away. She could only believe in the handsome young man.
"Hmph, I won't die before I become the best Food Hunter in the world." Men Qi straightened her expression and added, "I don't have money anyway."
The man with the handlebar mustache was speechless at Meng Qi's fearless demeanor. He called a staff member over and asked him to draft a disclaimer contract. Then, he looked at Men Qi and said, "Okay, I'll give you this chance."
Originally, it had been a grand occasion in Fish Market, but because of Men Qi's interference, it had become a new bet. Not only were the guests not impatient, they were actually looking forward to the result.
One had to know that if Men Qi succeeded, it would change the situation of the Sea Thorny Dolphins in the market.
"Erm, can I start now?"
A weak voice came from the quiet stage.
Looking in the direction of the voice, it was the man in the chef's uniform. He stood in front of the workbench with a sorrowful expression.
Originally, it was his turn to try and remove the poison bag, but because of Men Qi's matter, he seemed to have been forgotten in a corner and became an aggrieved baby.
The man with the handlebar mustache looked at him apologetically. Just as the male chef thought he could start, he heard the man with the handlebar mustache say in despair, "Please wait a while more."
The male chef silently put down the kitchen knife. The sorrow in his heart had nowhere to go.
Soon, the contract was sent to the stage.
The man with the handlebar mustache took the contract and handed it to Men Qi.
This was a disclaimer contract with no age limit. As long as Men Qi signed it, she could start removing the poison and taste the results herself. As for whether she lived or died, it had nothing to do with the organizers.
Of course, the organizers wouldn't just watch from the side. They would arrange for medical staff to be ready and prepare the antidote for the Sea Thorny Dolphins. However, the antidote couldn't completely remove the poison from the Sea Thorny Dolphins and would leave some side effects.
Men Qi took the contract and glanced at it. The content was simple and clear. She signed her name without hesitation.
She was alone and didn't have to worry about anything. However, it would be best if she could get through this difficult situation.
"I need starfish grass and sucker worms. Oh right, I need at least five sucker worms, and they have to be alive." After signing the contract, Men Qi requested.
"Okay."
The man with the handlebar mustache was surprised. He thought to himself, 'Is this the key to removing the poison?'
Then, he immediately asked the staff to prepare the items. However, they couldn't get the items in place in such a short time, so he asked the male chef to start removing the poison bag.
The farce from before was temporarily stopped. The second participant started the [Victory to the Most Skilled] segment.
Removing the poison bag from the Sea Thorny Dolphins required superb skills. Moreover, not every chef had the opportunity to come into contact with the Sea Thorny Dolphins. Since this chef was willing to spend 1.5 million to participate in this, it could be seen that he had a curious heart.
The male chef raised his knife and cut off the spikes like Men Qi did. However, he didn't know that he made the first mistake and increased the difficulty.
After a while, he put down the kitchen knife dejectedly and announced his failure.
The guests below the stage all felt that it was a pity. They came here to get their hands on deep-sea treasures. No matter how high the price was, they just wanted the perfect ingredients.
The male chef sighed and took out his bank card to transfer 1.5 million to the organizers. Then, he didn't leave the stage, nor did he take away his failed product. Instead, he stayed on the stage and waited for two results.
One was whether Ci Zhu could succeed, and the other was whether Men Qi could succeed.
The first two participants had already tried. Next was Ci Zhu's turn. He wasn't affected by the farce just now at all. He calmly went to the workbench, picked up the kitchen knife that he carried with him, and started removing the poison bag directly.
Swish swish swish!
The knife flashed and the spikes fell. His knife skills were even better than Men Qi's.
Soon, he started dissecting. Every step was very careful and meticulous. After a while, he let out a sigh of relief and took out the poison bag that was successfully removed.
Looking at this scene, the venue immediately erupted into enthusiastic applause, and the mustached man's face was also filled with joy.
When Men Qi saw that the man had succeeded, she immediately cursed in her heart. Failure, failure!
After the first one was successful, Ci Zhu started on the second one. He was also successful, causing the crowd below the stage to be in high spirits. This meant that there were two perfect Sea Thorny Dolphins to be auctioned today.
However, the good times didn't last long. Ci Zhu failed when he was operating on the third one. It was like a basin of cold water was poured over everyone's heads in the venue.
"You can continue to try." The mustached man used honorifics and let Ci Zhu continue.
"No, the next one is also a failure." Ci Zhu refused and turned to look at Law under the stage.
Aware of Ci Zhu's gaze, Law was very calm. He was originally just here to join in the fun.
The man with the handlebar moustache was stunned. Although the performance of the pig was not stable, on the basis of failure, there might be another two or three perfect Sea Thorny Dolphins. However, since the other party had said so, he could not force it.
Time passed, everyone waited for almost fifteen minutes, and the things Men Qi asked for finally arrived.
Seeing that things were ready, Men Qi took a deep breath and suddenly looked at Law under the stage and shouted with all her strength: "Little brother, tell me your name, so that I can find you when I die."
The audience was silent and Law was stunned.
"My name is Law, but I don't want you to become a ghost and come to me."
