Fortunately, the pressure cooker soon gave off a hissing sound akin to a steam whistle, Woo! Woo!
The piercing sound startled Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles, who were gathered in front of the pressure cooker, causing them to recoil, turn tail and flee.
Their sense of hearing was much stronger than that of humans. As such, the sound must have been insufferable for them.
Li Du took the opportunity to pull Crispy Noodles away and quietly drag him to the location of a piece of fire opal.
Crispy Noodles raised his head and stared foolishly at Li Du with silly-looking eyes. He was uncertain of what to do.
Li Du sighed helplessly. He pushed open a rock with his legs and gently threw a piece of preserved fruit inside.
Crispy Noodles's eyes lit up after seeing the food. He used his two small claws to effortlessly pry open the rocks. He then proceeded to cram his mouth inside to search for the piece of fruit before devouring it in two to three bites.
With the help of the piece of preserved fruit, he finally caught the scent of the fruit underneath the rock. He brandished his two front claws, exerted his strength and lifted the rocks up piece by piece, which rapidly dug a hole.
Li Du pretended to look puzzled and asked Crispy Noodles, ”Hey little guy, what are you doing here?”
Crispy Noodles's stomach was rumbling and having just picked up the scent of the preserved fruit, he couldn't care what Li Du was saying and continued with his work.
Big Quinn and Godzilla, who had been chatting, saw the scene and inquisitively came over to have a look. Sophie walked over excitedly and smiled. ”Is there another fire opal here?”
Previously, Li Du found a few pieces of fire opal by employing the same method of using Crispy Noodles to search for gemstones. When discussing traveling here with Sophie, they also wondered if Crispy Noodles had the ability to search for fire opals.
Crispy Noodles pried open a bunch of rocks, finally revealing the fire opal.
Li Du pushed him aside and dug out a fire opal the size of an infant's fist. Looking pleasantly surprised, he ran over to Sophie and smiled, ”You guessed right. He really managed to find a gemstone!”
Besides the gemstone, Crispy Noodles also found the two pieces of preserved fruit.
He picked up the preserved fruit with his claws and quickly stuffed them into his mouth before scanning his surroundings with shifty eyes. Seeing that there was no one around to snatch his food, he chewed it with satisfaction and swallowed.
Not far away, Big Quinn and Godzilla let out an astonished look and simultaneously said, ”F*ck, that's unbelievable!”
Sophie was also in awe. However, as she had previously seen Crispy Noodles's amazing ability, she was not surprised by it.
Instead, she felt honored to be Crispy Noodles's parent as Big Quinn and Godzilla were both surprised by him. She took the initiative to explain, ”This is Crispy Noodles's unique ability. Do not tell anyone!”
”Crispy Noodles has a unique ability?” Big Quinn replied in awe.
Sophie nodded her head sternly. ”Yes, yes, Crispy Noodles is a treasure-seeking racoon. He somehow always finds fire opals buried under rocks. How do you guys think Li Du found so many last time?”
Big Quinn glanced at Li Du. ”I thought it was Boss's exceptional observation skills that let him see such things,” he joked.
Li Du shrugged. ”I saw some while Crispy Noodles found some.”
Sophie smirked at him while making a grimace. ”You are really shameless, stealing credit for Crispy Noodles's hard work. It was clearly Crispy Noodles who found the gemstone.”
