It's so delicious.
Ever since meeting Chen Yu, Nuo Yi felt as if her previous dozen years had been lived in vain. How could he produce such exquisite and delicious canned food?
Such a small can could be made so delicious.
Then—
If he were given other ingredients, wouldn't the food he produced make her burst out of her clothes?
Chen Yu watched the little sister in front of him with a smile. Although she had already eaten seven or eight cans in such a short time, Chen Yu didn't care much about it.
A Caijing expert.
What was the big deal about eating a few cans of his?
It didn't cost much to procure fruits from the Tato Kingdom. With his Gluttony Critical Strike, two apples could produce 80 cans.
Eat!
Nuo Yi could eat as much as she wanted. Even if she ate thousands of cans, Chen Yu wouldn't frown.
At most, he would marvel at how much her stomach could hold.
"Mmm~"
Nuo Yi finished another can, smacking her lips. Her small face was filled with satisfaction. She leaned back in her chair and gently patted her round little belly.
This time, she had truly eaten her fill!
"Want another one?" Chen Yu smiled and produced another can from his bracelet. Nuo Yi's eyes still lit up, but she looked down at her stomach and shook her head. "Maybe not. If I eat any more, my stomach will explode."
"Then you should rest."
Chen Yu didn't put the cans away. He left them on the table, and she could take them whenever she wanted.
"Hey, come on, just one more bottle."
Hei Dou grinned and eagerly pushed the can towards Nuo Yi.
Noticing Chen Yu glance at him,
He quickly retracted his fawning smile and drew his hand back.
Chen Yu couldn't help but shake his head at the solicitous Hei Dou.
What was he thinking? Chen Yu knew all too well. Nuo Yi was someone who followed Liu Yue. If he could make Nuo Yi have a good impression of him, perhaps he could use Nuo Yi to put in a good word with Liu Yue.
In fact, his objective wasn't wrong.
It was just too solicitous.
Such excessive solicitousness made him seem undignified. He could pursue her openly with his strength, so why act like a sycophant?
Based on Chen Yu's judgment of Liu Yue, if she truly needed love, it would definitely be with someone of equal standing.
It certainly wouldn't be obtained through subservience!
Besides, what effect could giving Nuo Yi a few cans now have?
Ultimately, he was too impatient.
"If Nuo Yi can't eat anymore, don't force her. It's not like we won't see each other again. When Nuo Yi needs them, she can just come to us." Chen Yu said softly with a smile, rubbing his stomach. Nuo Yi's eyes were filled with joy. "Can I really? I can come here to eat cans in the future?"
"We're friends, so it's natural for you to visit me, right?"
"Hooray!"
Nuo Yi, sitting on the chair, excitedly clenched her small fists and jumped up. Ronny, looking at the empty glass cans on the table, couldn't help but exclaim.
"Wow, Nuo Yi is really a big eater."
"Hehe, everyone says that about me." Nuo Yi lowered her head shyly. "They all say I can eat a lot, but I don't really feel it. It's just that the canned food was too delicious this time, and I performed a bit beyond my usual. Brother Ba Tian, do you have any meat cans? Although fruit cans are more delicious, meat cans are more satisfying."
"I don't have any of those yet. I'm still collecting the blueprints."
"No blueprints?"
Nuo Yi's eyes suddenly lit up. With a 'clang,' she threw out a large pile of boxes from her bracelet.
Crouching on the ground, she rummaged through the boxes and then took out half a box of blueprints, which she held with both hands and placed on the table.
"Here."
"It's only polite to reciprocate. These are the production blueprints I found by opening chests in the dungeon. Although I don't have blueprints, I can make many types of canned food. There's meat, fish, and all sorts of canned goods. Take them all and give them to your subordinates. Just let me have a taste when you make the canned food."
Chen Yu looked at the pile of production blueprints; there were at least a hundred of them.
"Then I won't be polite."
Chen Yu accepted the blueprints with a smile, without any pretense.
He and Nuo Yi had already established a strong friendship through exquisite food. Giving away some production blueprints if he refused would be too distant.
Most importantly, what Nuo Yi gave him were seemingly production blueprints.
For Chen Yu, they had the chance to become blueprints.
As long as they learned here, the magical cooks at the camp could start processing them, and his canned food workshop would have many more varieties.
"It's a small matter."
Nuo Yi casually waved her hand and gave Chen Yu a thumbs-up.
"Brother Ba Tian, the people under you have really good skills. The canned food they make is incredibly delicious. Although the food merchants who came to our place before also sold not bad delicacies, they were still a cut above yours, and they were so pretentious. If Sister Liu Yue hadn't warned me not to provoke them, I would have really wanted to grab their souls and slap them hard."
Nuo Yi, pouting, clenched her small fists. Chen Yu looked at her with a smile.
"Are there many merchants from the Batu Federation here?"
"A lot!" Nuo Yi nodded slightly and said, "There should be fewer from the Tato Kingdom. The main reason is that the Tato Kingdom is relatively more abundant in food than our side. We here have reaped nothing, so food merchants can gain more benefits by coming here, and of course, they are willing to come."
"I see."
Chen Yu nodded with a smile. Nuo Yi then pointed to his wrist.
"Brother Ba Tian, you and the Third Princess of the North Sea..." Nuo Yi winked and smiled, constantly pressing her thumbs together. "I recognize this necklace, and I see you're also wearing the White Dragon Jade Pendant. Hehehe... it looks like the North Sea has already tied you down."
Chen Yu smiled without speaking at this. Nuo Yi, however, looked regretful.
"What a pity. I wanted to introduce my sister to you, then I would be your little sister-in-law and could eat, live, and take things from you shamelessly!"
"What are you thinking? Selling your sister for a bite to eat?"
Chen Yu raised his hand and tapped Nuo Yi's small head. His smile gradually faded, and he showed a serious expression.
"Nuo Yi, you should have eaten your fill. I have a few questions for you. You won't refuse to answer, will you?"
"Ask away!"
Nuo Yi, her face filled with satisfaction, waved her hand grandly.
"I'll tell you everything."
"Then I'd like to ask why this place is called River Town." Chen Yu frowned in confusion. "There's nothing but barren sand everywhere here, not even a sprout of green can be seen, let alone a river. Does the river have any special meaning in your Batu Federation?"
"Oh, you're asking about this."
Nuo Yi instantly rolled up her sleeves and smiled mysteriously.
"Then you've asked the right person."
