Chapter 1137: Mongolian Doctor Lin Sanjiu
Sesame Cake was stunned for half a second but quickly regained her composure and hurriedly walked towards the bathroom. Her experience in this world was much richer, and Lin Sanjiu's death seemed too abrupt. As a precaution, Lin Sanjiu guessed that Sesame Cake would go back to turn on the faucet and douse the corpse with water. After all, in this peculiar world called Lava, there was no weapon more powerful than that plastic hose.
Lin Sanjiu was waiting for this moment.
As Sesame Cake's foot was about to enter the bathroom, her vigilance finally relaxed for a moment. At that instant, the corpse suddenly leaped up, engulfing her in the gust of wind it stirred. With a cry of surprise, Sesame Cake was grabbed by her ankle and forcefully pulled back. She crashed onto the tiled floor, her shattered teeth and blood splattering into the air.
Lin Sanjiu was afraid to give her half a second to react, or she might have another dish served from the package, so she acted quickly, almost like a phantom. She pulled Sesame Cake towards her and dislocated her limbs with a few 'crack' sounds. After ensuring that Sesame Cake couldn't run away, Lin Sanjiu shoved her fist, wearing metal gauntlet, into Sesame Cake's mouth and flipped her over.
Sesame Cake looked miserable now, even Lin Sanjiu felt a bit sorry for her.
Several of her front teeth were broken, her nose was fractured, and her mouth's corners were torn, oozing a winding trail of blood. Perhaps she had bumped into something during the brief struggle,
as half of her face had turned unnaturally red, gradually turning into a bruise.
This woman was still gripping the plastic hose tightly. One had to admit, she was tough.
"You see," Lin Sanjiu said, gasping for breath but still smiling, "I'm in a dilemma now, and I don't know if you can help me. I need you to speak, but I don't know how your ability works... What if I take my fist out, and you call for the third dish to be served? Then I'll be in trouble, won't I?"
She had encountered many wicked people, and playing a wicked role came naturally to her, making her quite itchy to do so.
Sesame Cake was filled with rage and hatred. Her eyes bulged with tears as she stared at Lin Sanjiu, refusing to move.
"Is it activated by language?" Lin Sanjiu asked again, enduring her impatience. f(r)eewebnovel
Sesame Cake didn't react at all, not even nodding or shaking her head.
Lin Sanjiu frowned, thought for a moment, and hummed. "Then retract the wheel. You said that anyone who physically attacks you within five seconds becomes your target... So, as long as I wait for five seconds without attacking you, you won't be able to release the wheel again, right?"
Sesame Cake displayed a persevering spirit; she turned her eyes away, completely ignoring Lin Sanjiu. After waiting for a few seconds, Lin Sanjiu looked up and found the wheel still floating above her. However, after completing the "Chase" for the second dish, all the colored strips were motionless, without any text.
This was a bit problematic.
Resting her chin on her hand, Lin Sanjiu thought for a while but couldn't figure it out. "If you didn't warn me in the beginning when I picked up that bracelet, I would have been sucked into the lava long ago... You stopped me and brought me here, intending to harm me. I don't know why you bothered, but isn't it your own fault? It shouldn't come as a surprise that I would fight back after discovering your ruse. Why are you full of hatred?"
She didn't expect Sesame Cake to react to her exclamation, but to her surprise, her captive actually made a sound. Lin Sanjiu cautiously withdrew her fist slightly from Sesame Cake's mouth, still not daring to completely take it out. She heard Sesame Cake's muffled, unclear curses. "Just you wait... I'll break your teeth too!"
If it weren't for Lin Sanjiu's imagination, it would have been hard to tell what she was saying.
Finally understanding her words, Lin Sanjiu stared at her for a few seconds. During Sesame Cake's attempt to speak, she saw that half of her teeth were uneven and broken, exposing the dark cavity of her mouth. She hardly had any intact teeth left. Thinking about how she was still a girl, Lin Sanjiu finally understood the source of Sesame Cake's resentment. "So, are you holding a grudge because I knocked out your teeth? Do you... think it's unattractive?"
Sesame Cake suddenly turned her head, not looking at Lin Sanjiu, but tears welled up in her eyes.
Lin Sanjiu squatted in front of her, staring at her, and weighed her options. She had already gained some fragmented information from Sesame Cake and the bearded man. If she carefully sorted it out, perhaps she could find a breakthrough... After contemplating for a while, she slowly said, "Today, you were watching us from the third-floor window for quite some time, right?"
Sesame Cake flared her nostrils, refusing to speak.
"You knew that we were all new to this world and didn't know anything..." Lin Sanjiu sorted her thoughts as she continued, "Your companion was hit by the lava and didn't die but disappeared. When you saw him disappear, you even breathed a sigh of relief and said, 'So he still has another chance'... So, does that mean everyone in Lava has a chance to survive the initial swallowing and not just once?"
As she said this, she decided to take a risk.
Lin Sanjiu slowly took out her fist and removed the hose from Sesame Cake's hand, whispering, "So, no matter what your reasons were, from your perspective, deceiving me, a newcomer, into drinking lava wasn't a big deal. But I didn't know what would happen if I drank it... Naturally, I would deal with you seriously and use all the means available to me." contemporary romance
In Sesame Cake's bloodshot, teary eyes, a glint of desire to devour appeared.
"You think you're merely adhering to the rules of the doomsday, and I'm taking your teeth as punishment... Is that why you resent me?" Lin Sanjiu asked.
Sesame Cake spat a mouthful of blood-streaked saliva onto the ground. She glared at Lin Sanjiu and said in a low voice, "So what if I am? Let me tell you, I won't forgive you for this!"
"Relax, I'm not planning to be friends with you anyway," Lin Sanjiu said with a chuckle and sat down on the spot. "Here's the deal. If I help you restore your teeth, will you tell me everything you know?"
"Are you a dentist?" Sesame Cake sneered.
"Teeth are bones too." Lin Sanjiu shrugged. "I happen to have a Special Item that deals specifically with bones... I just need to take it out. How about it? Are you going to retract the wheel?"
Sesame Cake visibly hesitated.
Even though she had used various means to enhance her Evolved Ability, that didn't mean it was flawless. After a moment's assessment, Lin Sanjiu realized that her ability likely had
limitations on usage times or cooldowns between uses. She couldn't employ it at her whim.
"Fine," Sesame Cake eventually relented. In the end, it seemed she was thinking of her empty dental bed. Finding a dentist willing to treat teeth in the doomsday might take ten years, after all. "I'll retract the wheel!"
Muttering a few words, Sesame Cake made several attempts, but the wheel remained still. With half of her teeth missing and her speech muffled, it appeared that her ability's effectiveness had been compromised. Eventually, she had to give up, and the wheel vanished completely.
As Lin Sanjiu intended, her [Planar World] successfully activated, and she now held a new card in her palm.
Not bad, Sesame Cake wasn't lying.
"See this?" She held up the card, allowing the other woman to examine it closely. "This is my item."
[Bone Broth]
A thick soup meticulously brewed from a large quantity of high-quality beef bones, presented in a clay pot. When opened, the aroma and steam rush out, making it not only a great base for noodles but also suitable for direct consumption.
Introduction: The person who brewed this soup wholeheartedly believed in the mystical theory of "like cures like." As a result, the bone broth they made surprisingly has a miraculous effect on human bones. Among a series of foods created by the same person, there's also [Black Grapes] which affects the eyes (ineffective on non-black-eyed people), [Walnut Flesh] which affects the brain (note: must be consumed without the shell), and[Steamed Leather Shoes] that affects the legs (extra white pepper needed to remove the odor).
This was one of the seven items Lin Sanjiu took from the Lakeview Park pocket dimension. So far, this was the first time she had taken it out for use. She still had four items left, but she had only quickly glanced at them and didn't know when she could use them.
"How... do I use this?" Sesame Cake looked at the clay pot in front of her, perplexed.
First, she needed to get a small stick.
Lin Sanjiu searched the bathroom and found a toothbrush left by the previous occupant. She used the toothbrush's end to scoop a small amount of [Bone Broth] and carefully applied it to one of Sesame Cake's remaining broken tooth roots. After waiting for a few seconds without any reaction, she added a little more broth to the tooth root—unexpectedly, the tooth slowly expanded, becoming wider until it ultimately transformed into a slightly oversized incisor.
Thankfully, Sesame Cake's discernment wasn't that keen. She licked her newly grown incisor and took a while to recover from her astonishment. "This... Can the broth do anything else? Just grow teeth?"
How useless.
"If I inject it into the desired area, it can also lengthen bones in the body," Lin Sanjiu said, mentioning one of the less important functions, and smiled at her. "So, I've confirmed that I can help you restore your teeth. Now, you should tell me everything you know, right?"
Sesame Cake licked her incisor again, as if afraid it would disappear, then nodded. "I know. This world is called Lava—I've already told you that... In this world, lava can be hidden within different objects or forms, depending on the rules at that time. The only constant is the duoluozhongs outside. Their bodies are filled with lava, and any attack, even just slapping them, will cause the lava to burst out and engulf you."
