Chapter 16 Smelling the Roses
Upon hearing this, Oscar's mood instantly plummeted, and he seemed like a deflated balloon.
These days, it's really hard to sell sausages.
"Tang San, you can't eat this sausage."
Dai Mubai turned his head and earnestly advised Tang San.
"Why?"
Tang San, filled with doubt, couldn't help but ask, "Could eating this sausage cause an upset stomach?"
Dai Mubai didn't answer directly, but looked straight at Oscar and said, "Little Oscar, get a new sausage."
"Ah, Boss Dai, is that alright?"
Oscar's face froze instantly, his expression extremely awkward.
His eyes darted around, trying to find an excuse to back down. "We've been classmates for years, after all. If you do this, it will give the new students a bad impression of me."
"Hey!"
Dai Mubai said indifferently and without any mercy, "I'm just giving Tang San a heads-up. Tang San is my brother, and he absolutely cannot fall for your tricks. Hurry up, don't dawdle, don't force me to take action."
"Well... okay!"
Seeing that Dai Mubai was taking a tough stance and seemed ready to "resolve the matter by force," Oscar knew that he couldn't avoid it this time, so he could only grimace and resign himself to his fate.
He reluctantly channeled his soul power, preparing to unleash his first soul skill.
"I have a big sausage!"
Oscar shouted and unleashed his first soul skill.
In an instant, a brand new sausage appeared out of thin air, still steaming hot and looking very fresh.
High-end ingredients often...
Tang San was stunned into silence, while Dai Mubai frowned, looking disgusted, as if to say that he didn't know this Oscar at all.
Zhu Zhuqing turned her head away indifferently and coldly uttered, "Boring."
"I think I'll pass on these two sausages!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Tang San immediately put down the sausage he was holding.
Oscar scratched the back of his head and explained with a helpless expression, "I have no choice. When using a food-type martial soul, you have to use different soul spells to make the food produced change accordingly."
"The phrase I shouted was a soul incantation, not something I intended to say. It's an essential condition for activating a soul skill."
After saying that, he thought for a moment and quickly added, "And I can assure you that the quality of these sausages is absolutely perfect."
"You should keep your sausage for yourself; I really can't enjoy it."
Tang San waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he really couldn't eat anymore.
Then, he turned to Dai Mubai and said, "Brother Dai, thank you for reminding me."
"Alas, what a waste that such a delicious sausage like me is that no one appreciates it or wants to eat it!"
Oscar looked up at the sky and sighed, looking utterly despondent.
"Hey, what's your name again, Oreo, or Oreo... Anyway, give me one!"
Just then, Dugu Zhan, who had never been very noticeable, suddenly spoke in a deep voice.
The sudden sound instantly attracted the attention of Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San, and Oscar.
No one expected that someone would actually dare to eat Oscar's sausage.
"Ahem, my name is Oscar. Hey junior, are you sure you want one?"
Oscar's eyes sparkled with surprise and delight, and he quickly asked.
Dugu Zhan remained calm, took a few steps forward, then casually put down a gold soul coin and picked up a sausage.
He first brought his nose close and sniffed carefully, then slowly opened his mouth and began to chew and swallow, remaining extremely calm throughout.
A tiger in the heart, yet a rose in the hand; a true man dares to eat anything, even a lump of... well, cough cough, I've been coughing a bit lately.
"..." Everyone was stunned into silence by Dugu Zhan's actions.
"Mmm, it smells delicious!"
Dugu Zhan sighed with satisfaction.
Tang San could hardly believe his eyes, thinking to himself: This brother is truly courageous; I am no match for him.
"This guy is definitely not ordinary; his mental fortitude is far superior to ours."
Dai Mubai pondered to himself, and couldn't help but take a few more glances at Dugu Zhan, deeply memorizing his appearance.
"Brother, I admire you! From now on, all my sausages will be 50% off, a flat 50% discount! Come find me anytime you want some."
Oscar and Dugu Zhan instantly developed a deep friendship, as if they had known each other for a long time.
In his view, it is rare to find a true friend in life, and it is truly remarkable that someone has finally recognized the value of his sausages.
