The food in Black City is so cautious.
They have to test for poison before eating.
Likely, they were afraid.
They feared the slaves poisoning them to death while cooking due to their poor treatment of them.
Serves them right.
Who asked them to do such things?
Even slaves deserve basic human rights. Treating Orcs like livestock, if Chen Yu were among them, he would have already instigated a rebellion.
Chen Yu, squatting in the corner, grumbled to himself but then grinned.
Look at this luck.
Was it wrong to say he monopolized twelve dou?
If he had been even slightly more anxious, he might have been discovered by this officer.
Looking at the silver needle-like tool he used.
He hadn't expected poison testing in the underground world to use such tools.
Just as Chen Yu was waiting for the officer to finish testing for poison and leave, Hei Dou, who was squatting on him, suddenly began to writhe restlessly.
Chen Yu narrowed his eyes and transmitted his thoughts.
"What are you doing?"
At this moment—
Hei Dou's face was full of pain, and his tail kept flicking restlessly. The feeling made Chen Yu involuntarily think of a certain possibility.
"Don't mess things up."
Chen Yu bared his teeth, glaring.
"Bu~"
Chen Yu was stunned.
It was still continuous output.
The officer, who was testing for poison, heard the sound and suddenly turned his head, his eyes fixed on the corner where Chen Yu was squatting. He placed the silver needle on the table, gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist, and walked over.
"Who?"
"Magic Cloak?"
The officer, holding the sword blade, reprimanded in a low voice.
Not long ago, Chen Yu had just used the Magic Cloak to plunder the entire city. Now, the entire city was very sensitive to the Magic Cloak.
The officer holding the sword stared cautiously at the corner, then suddenly drew his sword and slashed.
Crack.
The firewood in the corner of the mess hall was cut down by a sword, but no one appeared.
"No one?"
The officer muttered, his eyes narrowed.
Little did he know, Chen Yu had already moved elsewhere. He glared at Hei Dou while stealthily approaching the officer from behind.
Bang!
A club was swung hard at the back of the officer's head.
The sound was heard by the pig-headed supervisor and the slaves outside. Those standing outside the mess hall subconsciously wanted to turn back and look but dared not.
The pig-headed supervisor also frowned, pondered for a moment, and said nothing.
They dared not!
The officer was notoriously ill-tempered. When he was in the mess hall, no one was allowed to enter without his permission.
The last time a supervisor in the mess hall had pushed the door open without permission.
He was bitten to death by wild beasts that night.
In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that he was killed by that officer. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen?
The officer, who had been hit by the club, was momentarily stunned.
Seeing that he hadn't fallen, Chen Yu quickly raised the club and hit him twice more. The officer then staggered and fell to the ground.
"Officer~"
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
The pig-headed supervisor outside whispered. Chen Yu leaned down and looked at the officer who had fainted on the ground, pinched his voice, and said sideways in a low voice.
"Stay outside. Do not enter without my command."
"Yes~"
Receiving the pig-head's response.
Chen Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief and glared fiercely at Hei Dou.
"Didn't your diarrhea get better days ago?"
Scared to death.
He almost ruined his plan just now.
Knowing he had made a mistake, Hei Dou hung his head. He didn't want this to happen, but who could hold back a fart? He had already tried his best not to make a sound, but it didn't go as he intended.
"Boss, what do we do now?"
"What else can we do? Drug it!" Chen Yu took out the candied chestnuts he had prepared earlier and dumped them all into the large iron pot.
Honestly, it wasn't surprising the officer cursed.
Chen Yu was astonished.
Looking at the vegetable leaf porridge emitting a foul odor, Chen Yu felt disgusted just by smelling it.
It was hard to imagine.
That the city guards ate this.
And the slaves ate even worse.
Thinking about the food in his camp, grilled meat was plentiful, and the comparison was truly worlds apart.
After pouring in the chestnuts.
Chen Yu began to stir the pot continuously with a spoon. After stirring for a while, he fished out all the chestnuts from the pot again.
Then, using a linen cloth, he brought out a few more chestnuts. Chen Yu used his hunter's dagger to scrape brown sugar from them from top to bottom.
Adding seasoning to each plate.
Stirring evenly.
When everything was done, Chen Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction, his gaze falling on the officer who had been knocked out.
"Hiss!"
"What should I do with this kid?"
Chen Yu didn't draw his sword.
He just didn't want to cause more trouble. The smell of blood was strong and wouldn't dissipate quickly. But after knocking him out, how to deal with him was also a problem.
Leaving him alone was definitely not an option!
If he disguised him with the Magic Cloak too, the pig-headed supervisor would surely become suspicious if he didn't see the officer upon his return.
"It's all your fart!" Chen Yu said speechlessly, glancing at Hei Dou again. He lightly rubbed his lips, a smile appearing in his eyes.
Several minutes later—
"Come in, everyone!"
A low call came from the mess hall. The pig-headed supervisor and a group of slaves saw the officer sitting by the firewood pile, a piece of linen cloth covering his face, pointing at the two large iron pots with a look of disgust.
"This smell is too strong."
"Hurry up and send this food over."
"Officer, shouldn't you be the one to call them for their shift to eat?" the pig-headed supervisor cautiously whispered. The officer sitting by the firewood pile froze inexplicably, then gave a low cough. "You go call them. I'm feeling a bit unwell, I'll just sit here for a while."
"Officer, if you are feeling unwell, then you..."
"Why so many questions? I told you to call them, are you trying to die?!"
The officer suddenly drew the sword in his hand. The pig-headed supervisor was so frightened that he didn't dare to say another word. He nodded and bowed in panic, urged the slaves to quickly scoop out the porridge and place it properly, and he swayed his fat body and ambled towards the outside.
During this time, the officer sitting by the firewood pile kept holding his head with his hands.
"Damn it~"
"Why didn't it go according to plan!"
The officer muttered.
At this moment, the officer sitting by the firewood pile was Chen Yu, and the one he had knocked out was under the firewood pile. He had intended to have the pig-headed supervisor take everyone away under the pretext of delivering food when he returned, so he could sneak out with the officer.
But—
These city soldiers had come here to eat.
"This small kitchen is not enough for so many city soldiers to sit in," Chen Yu gritted his teeth and whispered. The little demon floating in the air spread its hands. "You forgot, the open space outside the mess hall is quite large, and there are many tables and chairs. They are eating there."
Instantly, Chen Yu realized.
Even the wisest can make mistakes.
He had thought of almost all possibilities and unforeseen circumstances but overlooked this point. If he left now, the officer below would be discovered. If he stayed here, the officer beneath his bottom would eventually wake up.
What to do now?!
One word,
Annoying!
