Afternoon.
The buffet time ended.
Irin burped and returned to his booth.
Yi Lin's booth was filled with normal quality crops. They were nothing special and no one was interested in them.
Among the five booths, the ones with the most people were Qian Duoduo's "Giant Broccoli" and Wang Gebi's "Tailor's booth".
It was a weird scene.
Wang Gebi's booth was surrounded by a group of shy women.
Irin shook his head. It didn't matter.
Finally.
It was time to announce the "Best Crop Award".
Louis brought the governor to the five booths.
It didn't matter to the five apostles who won first place. The most important thing was the mysterious reward mentioned by Louis.
It was a compulsory course for every senior apostle to learn how to maximize the benefits under the same conditions.
"It's coming!"
Qian Duoduo's eyes widened. Her delicate features twitched.
Irin thought for a while and coughed.
He smiled and glanced at Lu Yisi. Then, he looked at Marnie, who was bashfully covering her face and letting her imagination run wild near Wang Gebi's booth. Yi Lin made a complicated gesture with both hands.
"Hiss …"
When Old Lu saw this, he inexplicably understood. He subconsciously sucked in a breath of cool air that was filled with the fresh smell of farmland.
After a while, Louis went silent.
He first walked past Wang Gebi's booth.
"We want crops … What are you doing?"
Louis mercilessly criticized Wang Gebi's "leopard print", "black silk", and "hollow" designs.
Wang Gebi shrugged and smiled. He didn't care.
Old Lu then walked to Yan Cao's booth that was filled with messy stones.
He was expressionless.
He was gloomy.
He sighed deeply.
He didn't want to say anything. He was tired.
Where was the farmer?
Where was the farmer?
Where was the farmer?
"As long as there's even a single weed in your stall, you're better than him!" Old Lu pointed at Wang Gebi and scolded Yan Cao angrily.
Yan Cao was stunned.
"Not bad."
Old Lu happily looked at Bai Runding's cart full of gold-quality crops and gave him a thumbs up.
When they reached the "giant cauliflower", Old Lu raised his head with all his might, but he couldn't see the top of the cauliflower.
Qian Duoduo's other parts were not big enough and could not compare to Runding, but this broccoli was big enough, right? There was nothing wrong with taking the opponent by surprise.
"As expected of the new Farmer King."
Old Lu praised.
Finally, under everyone's expectant gaze, Old Lu arrived at Irin's booth.
He forcefully pulled out a wilted [Chili] from Yi Lin's stall. He even took a bite and tasted it.
Irin smiled and gave a kind smile that said, "Old Lu, you're on your own."
"Oh, oh, oh —"
While chewing on the chili, Old Lu suddenly screamed, "Ah … My power is surging! Your crops cleansed my soul! It allowed me to find my old self! "
Qian Duoduo: "???"
Yan Cao: "?"
Wang Gebi: "?"
Bai Runding: "…"
"I solemnly announce …" Old Lu exhaled a mouthful of spicy air and walked back to the governor's side. "The winner of this year's Best Crop Award is … Farmer King, Irin!!!"
"F * ck!"
Qian Duoduo slapped the cauliflower next to him in anger.
The others were also dumbfounded. Even Wang Gebi walked over curiously. After getting Irin's permission, he ate the "soul-cleansing crop" that Lu Yi mentioned with a strange expression. After taking a bite, Wang Gebi seemed to understand something and gave Irin a thumbs up.
"Farmer King, Irin, please come forward to receive the award!"
On the surface, it was the award ceremony. Everyone applauded, touched.
How strange!
Irin smiled helplessly and walked forward.
In the end …
No one would have thought that the so-called "mystery prize" that Old Lu mentioned was just a seed.
…
[Ancient Seed]
[Grade] Rare
[Effect] None
[Description] This is an extremely rare seed. It is said that it was excavated from an ancient fossil. It is very precious. The premise is that you can plant it.
…
Other than the [Ancient Seed], there was also a 500G reward.
The other four apostles shamelessly came forward, wanting to see what the so-called Ancient Seed was.
Irin smiled. He had seen the attributes before. This was the first time he had encountered an item with the "None" effect. He had not figured out what use it had, so he showed the attributes of the [Ancient Seed] to the others.
"This thing is quite interesting! According to the rules, the weirder the item, the more incomprehensible it is, the more precious it is! This should be a precious hidden item in this trial! " Qian Duoduo quickly analyzed the use of the [Ancient Seed] in Irin's hand and gritted her teeth. "I'm not convinced! How can you get first place with that cart of withered crops? I want to report it! There's a conspiracy! There must be a conspiracy! I want to report it! "
If not for the fact that Qian Duoduo did not have much confidence in her strength and did not understand Irin's strength, she might have snatched it from him.
Qian Duoduo stared at the [Ancient Seed] in Irin's hand. She could not hold back her love and hate.
Just as Qian Duoduo was feeling conflicted and hesitant, she felt a chill down her spine.
The tall and strong Yan Cao scratched his head. "This thing of yours, I have quite a few."
As he spoke, Yan Cao took out a bunch of black and wrinkled [Ancient Seeds] from his pocket as if he was grabbing a bunch of jelly beans.
Irin was stunned.
Bai Runding pursed his lips, his lips moist.
Qian Duoduo's eyes stared like light bulbs.
All of them became silent.
Yan Cao saw their reactions and smiled. He did not seem like he had any bad intentions. "This thing can be found in the mine from time to time. I have quite a lot of it. If you all really want it, I can give it to you!"
A moment later.
The five 'poor farmers' who had descended into this world looked at each other and laughed.
The battle at the Hawaii banquet had disappeared. It gave people the feeling that it was a farce.
Irin had expected that with Lu Yi's stingy personality, he would only give them 500G. He would not give them any precious rewards.
If there was any treasure on Lu Yi's body, it would be that epic-level shorts.
After the few of them looked at each other and laughed, the atmosphere became much more harmonious.
They all felt that the open and secret struggle just now was quite funny.
Even Qian Duoduo felt a little embarrassed, but she still thickened her skin and held an [Ancient Seed] in Yan Cao's hand. Whether he could grow it or not, he would have to return to his farm and carefully tinker with it before he could make a conclusion.
Next.
It was the popular "Hundred Lox Soup" segment.
"Do you know?" Qian Lele walked in front of Irin. "I originally prepared a special bass soaked in 'red mushroom' juice to see if it could poison you all to death."
When Qian Lele said this, he did not deliberately lower his voice. Bai Runding, Yan Cao, and Wang Gebi all heard Qian Lele's words.
However, they did not show too much surprise on their faces. They smiled embarrassedly as if they had similar thoughts before.
"Cough, cough, cough."
The others subconsciously coughed and looked away.
Irin smiled but did not say anything.
What did it have to do with him whether Qian Duoduo poisoned him or not?
Anyway, Irin did not intend to drink that big chowder soup in the first place.
"Let me do it!"
After speaking their minds, the few of them looked at each other and began to get busy.
Irin poured a bottle of special [Honey] into the soup.
Yan Cao moved a big stone over and roasted it over the fire until it was red. After trying to persuade the other residents to shut up, he threw the "roasting stone" into the pot with a plop.
"This is called stone stew. In our hometown, it's an ancestral cooking method. We use the high temperature of the stone to further heat the food in the pot!"
Yan Cao explained.
Only then did the others understand the reason why Yan Cao suddenly threw the stone into the pot, but they still could not understand because this cooking method was unheard of.
Wang Gebi looked at his booth … Forget it, he would just stand by and watch. He believed that if he dared to throw the "masterpiece" in his booth into the pot, he would very likely be beaten to death by the others.
As for the "huge cauliflower" that Qian Duoduo had painstakingly grown, it was also torn into pieces and thrown into the pot.
The governor looked at the strange pot of soup and remained silent. It was not the first time he had come to the Hawaiian banquet in Gugu Town. However, this time, the five new farmers gave him a feeling … that they were particularly bold and unrestrained.
The "potluck soup" finally became a pot of "stone stew and poached cauliflower" under the efforts of the few people.
This was a pot of unknown and mysterious cuisine.
Among the residents, someone was bold and unafraid of death and tasted it.
"Ah? It's delicious! "
Someone exclaimed in surprise.
"Ah …? Is it true? "
"Wait, let's observe first. Where's Dr. Harvey? Please be on standby! "
"No, it's really delicious!"
"This is the taste of cleansing the soul!"
The residents joined in the ranks of eating the "stone stew and poached cauliflower".
In the end, Irin could not suppress his curiosity about the unknown cuisine. As if the gourmet cells in his body had awakened, he took a small sip.
"The taste … is actually really good."
The joyous atmosphere lasted until the banquet ended.
Irin had never thought that he would be able to live in such a peaceful relationship with the other apostles during the same trial.
Even though this kind of "peace" was just a flash in the pan in this trial that spanned 360 days, it would pass in the blink of an eye. However, today had indeed given Irin a rare experience.
Actually, the relationship between apostles was not necessarily one of mutual deception.
The banquet lasted until the end, and everyone returned to their own homes.
Halfway through, Lu Yisi respectfully sent off the governor, who was burping with his belly sticking out, before quietly sneaking into the small forest with Marnie. Lu Yisi thought that no one had noticed, but in the entire banquet hall, every movement of everyone was under Irin's perception. No one could escape from Irin's discerning eyes.
Irin only smiled knowingly at this and did not point it out.
In the future, he would find an opportunity to have a good talk with Old Lu. Perhaps he could increase his favorability with him again.
"If I have a choice, I want to be a good person … a really good person."
Irin had a preliminary understanding of the benefits of having a good impression of him in Gugu Town.
Lu Yisi stared at his withered crops. He could actually say "crops that cleanse the soul" with a black heart. It could be seen that this was the power of friendship.
The banquet ended.
Irin originally wanted to go back to the farm to sleep.
It was getting late.
However, after thinking about it, he did not work much today and felt a little uncomfortable.
He touched his chest. There was a rusty key there.
"Let's go take a look at that place."
Irin avoided the gazes of others and quietly left Gugu Town, heading north.
