Chapter 41: That’s Splatoon’s Chicken Roll

Liang Yu replied directly to Xu Wen Hua in the group chat.

“Your abacus is clacking so loudly I can hear it.”

“Since you don’t want them, then forget it. I’m not taking the gold either. As for the chicken rolls, whether I throw them away, feed them to dogs, or let them spoil, I won’t give them to you. You deserve to starve.”

When Liang Yu said this, Xu Wen Hua still managed to keep his composure.

However, the other impatient residents immediately grew anxious.

They watched as the food that was almost within their grasp was about to slip away, so they all pointed their accusations at their representative, Xu Wen Hua.

Suddenly, all the blame shifted to Xu Wen Hua.

But they didn’t consider that this outcome was negotiated and agreed upon after their approval.

Their idea was to capture Liang Yu alive, seeing that he was still coveting gold. They planned to use gold as bait to lure him out and then control him.

This way, Liang Yu’s house and food would fall into their hands.

However, despite all their calculations, they never expected that Liang Yu had no intention of wanting that gold at all, nor was he someone whose head was clouded by profit.

He only accepted the gold to put their minds at ease about eating the food.

After all, free things are always the most expensive.

If he didn’t charge them something, how could so much food be distributed without raising suspicion?

Finally, under the verbal onslaught of the residents, Xu Wen Hua exited the group chat.

Xu Tai was then put in charge of the subsequent matters.

After the transaction proceeded smoothly, Liang Yu confirmed through the feedback from his wristband that he had received the batch of gold they provided.

Since he had received the gold, Liang Yu was not someone who would take money and not deliver.

He immediately arranged for five drones, each carrying an insulated container, to be sent to the entrance of Building 9.

When he said “entrance,” he actually meant the corridor near the 3rd floor.

The first and second floors were already submerged by the flood, and with the arrival of the cold wave, the lower levels had frozen solid.

So, Liang Yu directly contacted Xu Tai in the group chat.

“I’ve had the drones deliver the items to the exit of Building 9. They should arrive in about 5 minutes. Find someone to go and retrieve them yourselves.”

“If someone else takes them, it has nothing to do with me.”

After doing all this, Liang Yu continued to eat his breakfast.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered something.

He quickly sent a message to Lan Ling.

“Xiao Luobo, you should have enough food there, right? Do you want me to send some more?”

“Also, don’t eat those chicken rolls. I added croton powder to them. Just keep it to yourself, don’t let it slip.”

As soon as Liang Yu sent the message, the other party instantly replied with an “no problem” emoji.

And then there was no more news.

Liang Yu knew without thinking that the person on the other end was either sleeping or playing a game.

He didn’t bother with it; it was enough that she knew.

However, this time Liang Yu misunderstood Lan Ling.

She was currently chatting with Zhou Kexin and Huang Qiu Shi in the group chat.

She slightly altered the content of what Liang Yu told her and relayed it to the two of them.

“I just received news that there’s a problem with that batch of chicken rolls. People with sensitive stomachs had best not eat them.”

“Those are the chicken rolls from a certain brand’s ‘explosive diarrhea’ meal.”

Huang Qiu Shi saw the message and was also discussing it with Zhou Kexin.

After all, with Zhou Kexin’s help, each of them had purchased one chicken roll.

Now, being told that eating them might turn them into “explosive diarrhea warriors” made them very conflicted.

In such cold weather, spending too much time or too many times in the restroom could easily lead to frostbite, let alone diarrhea.

While they were hesitating, Lan Ling sent another message.

“Don’t disbelieve me, I heard the news. I didn’t buy a single one myself.”

“I have an idea. If you bought them, it’s best not to eat them immediately after you get them. Wait until others have eaten them and see their reactions before making a decision.”

Both of them felt there was nothing wrong with what she said, so they adopted Lan Ling’s suggestion.

After all, getting a refund was probably impossible.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Kexin returned from outside, carrying two chicken rolls inside her jacket.

At this point, the chicken rolls were still warm, and the aroma made both of them eager to eat them.

However, remembering Lan Ling’s warning, they suppressed the urge.

Then Zhou Kexin found Lan Ling again.

“Lan Ling, what have you decided about what I talked to you about last time?”

“I have enough food here. If the three of us are together, we can look out for each other. That would at least be much safer than you being alone.”

When Lan Ling saw Zhou Kexin’s message, she remembered this matter.

She had forgotten to ask Liang Yu for his advice, and in her helplessness, she could only stall again.

“Teacher Zhou, please let me consider it a bit longer. I will definitely give you a reply within these two days.”

After Lan Ling’s message was sent, Huang Qiu Shi came out to tease her.

“Kexin, I think you shouldn’t make it difficult for her. Maybe she’s living with her little boyfriend now, and if we go over, we’d just be two big third wheels. It would look awkward no matter how you see it.”

However, before Lan Ling could reply to her, messages kept flooding the main group chat, all of them @Liang Yu.

Liang Yu was currently in the Doomsday Fortress, still lying on his rocking chair, when he saw someone @him in the main group chat.

He clicked it open and saw that it was all people from Buildings 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 17.

Among the crowd, Liang Yu was surprised to find that Li Dama was also among those denouncing him.

And at this moment, it was Li Dama who was leading them.

Property Manager Li Caihua: “Liang Yu, you little bastard, come out! I knew you had ill intentions.”

Property Manager Li Caihua: “Now that everyone who bought your chicken rolls is having diarrhea, you must give us an explanation.”

Liang Yu read the message and directly gave Li Dama a universally friendly gesture.

Liang Yu: “What does my diarrhea have to do with me? Are you blaming me for your own stomach problems?”

Liang Yu: “Didn’t you look at the packaging before you ate? Look closely at the packaging, whose chicken rolls are these?”

Liang Yu: “Go find the picture I took. I made sure it was clear when I sent it.”

Liang Yu: “Also, why am I fine after eating it, but you get diarrhea? It’s the same food, which means the food isn’t the problem, you are.”

At the same time, he silently thought, “I just added a little croton powder to restore the glory of the ‘explosive diarrhea warrior.’ This isn’t poisoning; this is its inherent power!”

Li Dama was momentarily speechless by Liang Yu’s words.

Because as soon as Liang Yu spoke, they did go back and check the previously sent photos, and it was indeed chicken rolls from that brand.

They could only swallow this bitter pill, but the matter was far from over.

Xie Jiarong also jumped out at this moment.

For no other reason, they had ordered three chicken rolls, and based on her ability to shamelessly mooch food, she successfully ingested a double dose of croton powder, which meant double the fun.

As expected, her legs were already weak, and she couldn’t leave the restroom.
