Chapter 106 - The Whisper Between The Little Monsters
As usual, after Su Yang reached the swimming pool, he tossed the book into the water to start the trade, but then a figure appeared above the water.
“Hold on, Lord Su Yang!” As Pool rose from the water, the flying book accurately hit his head.
“Ouch!” Following the painful squeal, both Pool and the book fell back into the water with a splash.
Su Yang was confused by Pool’s action. ‘What’s going on? Is receiving things with their heads a trend among the little monsters now?’
A while later, Pool floated up from the water while rubbing his head. He held the wet textbook in his hand and said, “Lord Su Yang, please be patient. I’m not done yet.”
Su Yang was even more confused and clueless about what happened.
“The trade for today is over. The book that you threw into the swimming pool is no longer accepted, so it will only get wet if you insist,” Pool said softly.
Su Yang eavesdropped on the conversation quietly.
Pool said, “The abilities are simple actually: amplify tastes and auto-refill.”
“Auto-refill?” asked Sanque.
“Yeah, when the bag is empty, it will automatically fill up after a day,” said Pool.
“Isn’t that great?” asked Sanque.
“I know, right? You have no idea how much Little Hus drooled when he saw the bag of dog food,” said Pool with a chuckle.
“He’s a bolster. How can he really drool?” asked Sanque.
“It’s metaphorical! The husky picture can still drool,” said Pool.
“I see,” answered Sanque.
Pool recalled what happened last night. “He stood hesitant for half an hour. I almost fell asleep waiting for him, but in the end, he chose the gold bar over the bag of dog food.”
Shocked, Sanque asked, “Why?”
Pool thought about it and said softly, “He said Su Yang will like the gold bar and he knew that Su Yang needs a lot of money now. If Su Yang sells the gold bar, it could at least reduce his burden. Little Hus feels that Su Yang is living a tiring life by working every day.”
“Oh, I see,” said Sanque.
Su Yang heard everything at the entrance, and for whatever reason, his heart felt something different.
‘Little Hus…’
He clenched his fists and left.
The conversation continued even after he walked away.
“I can tell that Little Hus is quite saddened by the choice. He looked deflated after he took the gold bar, but when I asked him whether he regretted his choice or not, he shook his head and said no.”
“Is he an idiot or what?”
