Chapter 186 - I’m Not Even Qin Shi Huang
Oakley who strove to make himself familiar was also rarely silent. He stared at Gu Mengmeng for quite a while before starting to talk, “Do you really have a way to store food and prevent them from rotting?”
Gu Mengmeng looked back and did not think much before she replied, “Yeah” while nodding.
Oakley asked again, “Do you really want to teach this solution to everyone?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded her head again, saying, “Yeah, why?”
Oakley remained quiet for a while. Then, he said, “Do you know how great an effect the solution to store food can create if it’s used appropriately?”
Gu Mengmeng thought for a moment and replied, “Everyone can store their food in advance and need not suffer through winter. Everyday, I kept hearing Sandy complain about going hungry during winter so much so that callus grew in my ears. If I teach this solution to everyone, Sandy will have food to eat during winter and my ears are saved. Yeah yeah, this effect is indeed awesome~ come, there should be a round of applause now.”
As Gu Mengmeng was talking, she led the applause herself. The four males did not know what was applause, but they stiffly copied the way she was clapping her hands.
Until Gu Mengmeng did a ‘collect’ hand gesture in satisfaction, Oakley then dared to continue talking, “Winter is also called the death season. Every year during the winter, many orcs will die. If you can store the food for an entire season without them rotting, you’re the deity in this world that even all the deities can’t match up to. But you… want to teach this solution to everyone so easily? Just because you don’t want to hear Sandy nag?”
Gu Mengmeng looked at Oakley in shock and bewilderment. She could not help but find it funny so she shrugged her shoulders and blew on a potato before sending it into his mouth. Tasting the fragrant, sweet and soft flavor, she chomped it up and after recollecting the taste in detail for a while, she then opened her eyes in complete contentment, answering Oakley, “I’m not even Qin Shi Huang (the first emperor of the Qin dynasty). I’m not interested in uniting the entire world. I just hope that the people I care about can live life in greater happiness. If my knowledge can achieve this goal, I’m very satisfied already. Moreover, the aim of this knowledge is to disseminate it and use it instead of making it into a custom-made SM brief that requires me to continue hiding it.”
Oakley did not say a word. Actually, he was already in doubt when he went to extract honey with Gu Mengmeng previously. Fire is something the Beast Deity brought thousands of years ago. It symbolized absolute rights and sacred authority. Only messengers of the Beast Deity had the qualifications to protect the holy fire but if someone or even the tribe violated God’s orders, the Flame Devil would carry out the punishment and would never forgive. So, even though thousands of years have passed, even though the holy fire in the tribe of the messengers of the Beast Deity had been put out and nobody would start it again, messengers of the Beast Deity still maintained a high level of authority in the Beast World and there was rarely people who dared to revolt and go against them.
And Gu Mengmeng actually used the holy fire to roast meat, poison yellow needle insects, boil water to cook rice… and even let Elvis and Lea teach the entire tribe how to use fire and how to prevent the fire of hope from becoming the Flame Devil without reserve.
Now, she was sharing this solution that could store food easily in the Beast World with everyone so easily?
A quiet voice was awakened in Oakley’s mind, don’t tell him that Gu Mengmeng…
Oakley was terrified by his thoughts and he stared at Gu Mengmeng in bewilderment, his eyes and mouth fixed. The expression on his face looked confused but to Gu Mengmeng, he looked as if he saw a ghost…
