Ji Shanqing ended his explanation cheerfully with this sentence that would make anyone angry after hearing it. Obviously, if Lin Sanjiu had not ordered him, he would not have opened his mouth to Mr. Ito at all; after explaining,
Regardless of whether the other party believed it or not, he just pushed Lin Sanjiu's elbow: "Sister, I'm hungry."
Mr. Ito stood five or six steps away, with a face that was darker than the night. Lin Sanjiu sighed inwardly, nodded to him, and then walked a few steps to the side along the gift bag - wherever they went,
The other people's eyes followed them wherever they went, as if they were aware that they were the new owners of the villa.
"Look," Li Bao raised his chin and turned a blind eye to the gazes of the people around him: "This is really a beach barbecue. Even the chef is ready."
There are round yellow lights scattered on the beach. The light and dark light and shadow make the beach vague and dull, like a puff of smoke floating in the middle of the night. In the distance of the hazy halo, there is a dark barbecue.
A fat man in a white chef's uniform was wrestling with several large bags on the ground, and it took a while before he finally opened one of them.
"Everyone, wait a minute," the chef shouted, "You guys chat with each other first, and then we can start after I prepare all the barbecue items!"
He happily picked up a few pieces of charcoal and stuffed it into the barbecue grill; although he was an NPC, his demeanor and appearance were just like that of a living person.
"New here?"
Just as the two of them were looking at the chef, a female voice sounded not far behind them, "...replaced by the curly bearded man? Who else?"
Lin Sanjiu turned her head and realized that she actually knew the person who was speaking - the owner of the villa in a nightgown. The nameplate at the door read "Green".
Of course, she is not wearing a loose nightgown now; wrapped in a tights of unknown material, Green's slender limbs and thin shoulders can make people clearly see the lines - only two
Everyone's eyes fell on her belly.
"Oh, yes," Green lowered his head, glanced at it, pointed at his slightly bulging belly and said, "four and a half months."
Both of them were a little dumbfounded, but Lin Sanjiu stammered first: "Gong, congratulations... Well, the due date is..."
"Congratulations? What's there to congratulate? Would you like it if I gave it to you instead?" Green suddenly became angry, waved his hand and said, "Don't think it's okay just because I'm pregnant. Let me tell you, I've done it ten times in a row.
I have been the owner of the villa for four days.”
She was obviously the one who spoke first, but as soon as her temper got angry, she turned around and left, without even giving Lin Sanjiu a chance to speak again.
"...It's been fourteen days, and she still can't get out of the dungeon?" Libao asked in a low voice.
Lin Sanjiu naturally had no answer. She glanced around and found that the owners of the villas on the beach all seemed to know each other; some were gathered together in twos and threes to talk, some had a tense atmosphere with each other, and some were in the crowd.
Wandering around for a walk... there was also a little fat man who looked very friendly. He always said hello to everyone he saw and walked straight towards Lin Sanjiu and the other two.
"You just moved into the villa, right?" He looked young, with a long and narrow dimple on his bulging cheeks, which looked quite pleasing: "Who is... the master?"
He seemed to be more alert than the short-haired pregnant woman, and quickly realized that there were already twelve people present - therefore, among Lin Sanjiu and Lin Sanjiu, there was destined to be only one owner of the villa. Since one of them is a human evolution
Or, then the other one can't be a human being; the little fat man's eyes have been scanning here and there since just now, as if he can't decide which one is the human being.
"It's me," before Lin Sanjiu could say anything, Li Bao answered first, "This is my sister, a special humanoid object, meant to be a companion."
Lin Sanjiu glanced at him sideways. Gift Bao answered so smoothly that it almost made people think that he had planned it all along.
"Nice to meet you," the little fat man's attention immediately shifted to the gift bag, "My name is Li Xing. What is your name?"
"Ji Shanqing."
"What a name!" Li Xingyi clapped his hands, "It's poetic."
"Everyone here is very friendly." Li Bao put his hands together and asked with a smile, "Are we all acquaintances?"
"Besides you, there is one who is also a newcomer. The rest have more or less experienced several activities." Li Xing shrugged, "Whether we can deal with each other or not, we may not know when we will cooperate to break through the level.
Of...among these activities, there are many types of group cooperation.”
"Have you participated in a beach barbecue before?" Lin Sanjiu asked.
Probably because he didn't expect that a special humanoid object could be so proactive, the little fat man looked at her in surprise, and then said: "No, every activity is completely new. When the owner of the villa arranges all the villas,
After experiencing all the activities once, you can go out... I estimate that it will take a month to do it once a day."
Of course, as he spoke, he turned to Ji Shanqing and motioned for the two of them to follow him: "Come, let me introduce you... Others are also very curious about you."
Apart from Mr. Ito and Green, there were seven other people, both male and female, old and young: one of the men was so tall that even Lin Sanjiu only reached his chest; there was another man who introduced each other by name.
After that, he suddenly opened his windbreaker towards the gift bag - just when the two of them were startled, and Lin Sanjiu was about to take action, they realized that he was also wearing clothes under the windbreaker, but his body was looming, almost like
It seemed like it was obscured by streaks of smoke.
"Don't be surprised, don't be surprised," the man named Crane laughed loudly, probably because he had seen the reaction on the two people's faces: "I am about to teleport."
"Teleport?" Ji Shanqing raised his eyebrows slightly, "How long have you been like this?"
"It's been two days,"
Not only did Crane look nonchalant, he even stretched out his fingers to explore the space of his disappeared body, then raised his fingers and said "I don't feel anything." He nodded to the owners of the villas next to him and looked at
The two of them laughed and said: "...They all know that. It was supposed to be teleported away in a while, but in the end, I don't know if it was because of the big flood, but it was delayed for two days."
Crane closed the windbreaker, turned around sharply, and showed his back to the two of them: "Look, I just put on this windbreaker before I went out tonight."
No wonder the front of the windbreaker still looks intact. It turns out that it was put on just a short time ago. However, it has already shown its intention to go with its owner: the windbreaker behind is also covered by the "smoke" and a large hazy mass.
It seems that complete teleportation is not far away.
Lin Sanjiu glanced at Kelan's back, then quietly scanned around the other villa owners, and suddenly understood.
That's right, if it were her, then she would be as proactive and free-spirited as Crane to let everyone see her status clearly: This is tantamount to saying, I can't tell when I will leave.
There is nothing that must be fought over - in the same way, other villa owners will naturally be more friendly towards him.
"This is really good," Lin Sanjiu said sincerely, "We don't know when we can leave yet."
The less she emphasized that she was a special item and the more she behaved like a human being, the more others seemed to believe that she was a special item with powerful properties. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy even felt a little envious and even asked Ji Shanqing
"Did you buy it in the Twelve Realms?".
"There is no other one in the world," Ji Shanqing said with a serious face, "I made this one out of clay."
Okay, Lin Sanjiu rubbed his brows.
"Um, everyone -" someone shouted from a distance.
Eleven villa owners, accompanied by a special humanoid object, were all standing within a radius of about ten meters. Suddenly such a shout came from a distance, and everyone realized who the speaker was. Everyone turned around and saw that the chef was standing there.
He held up his shovel and waved to them.
"The tools and meat are all ready," he said with a red smile on top of the hot grilling coals: "Look, I have prepared such a big bag of meat, it must be enough to eat."
Following his instructions, Lin Sanjiu's eyes fell on a huge plastic packaging bag next to the barbecue grill. Through its translucent texture, one could vaguely see the layers of lumps inside.
What kind of meat is it?
"Well, let me introduce to you the rules of today's activities." The chef said, while weighing the shovel towards them. "There are four types of meat I have prepared for you today, namely skewers, beef ribs,
Lamb leg, chicken sausage.”
Ji Shanqing looked at the bag of meat, and then at Lin Sanjiu - even if he didn't speak, she understood what he meant; his eyes were like two screens, with the highlights scrolling past "Sister"
"Let's have barbecue next time."
"I'll get it for you tomorrow," she whispered. Gift Bao nodded, satisfied.
"I'm ashamed to say that I can only grill one piece of meat at a time." The chef waved his hand on the long, empty barbecue grill without any shame and said, "So everyone can only get one piece of meat from me at a time. I
You have to take away whichever piece is being grilled. You can’t specify which meat to grill, and you can’t take it twice in a row... Isn’t it good to be picky about food?”
None of the twelve people spoke.
"Those who gather four pieces of the same barbecue in advance will end the game victoriously. Just sit aside and enjoy the meat and drink. But if you are among the bottom three, or my hands are sore and I don’t want to grill anymore,
By the time, if you still haven’t collected four pieces of the same barbecue, unfortunately, you will have to move out of the villa.”
When the chef said this, he smiled and said: "Only when each piece of meat is cooked, we know what kind of meat it is. After it is cooked, the person standing on the yellow sign must take it away... eh
, you give in, you stepped on my sign."
A middle-aged woman with dark skin and slender limbs grumbled and took two steps to the side. A yellow piece of paper in the shape of a dinner plate, with knives and forks painted on it, was mostly exposed from the sand.
"Whoever steps on this yellow sign is the one who can take away the barbecue. How do you decide who goes first and who comes last? Whether it's queuing or arm wrestling, I don't care. Anyway, don't affect me and don't splash.
Just stir up sand or knock things over." The chef thought for a while, "Oh, right, you can't exchange barbecues with each other. What else... Well, that's all I can think of. How about you guys?
