Chapter 1430 The Deal with a Hundred Tribes (2/2)
It seemed to him that she was super willing to treat Han Sen like a dear pet.
”I don't mind. Are you sure you don't want to try some?” Han Sen tempted her to try his food.
Ling Mei'er gulped and wiped the drool that had escaped the corner of her lips. She shook her head again.
”How are you supposed to know what I like if you don't try some of this stuff? Go on, have a bite.” Han Sen passed her a bag of jerky and a can of soda.
”Fine; just a nibble.” Ling Mei'er ended up taking a hearty bite of the jerky and almost drowned herself in rabid consumption of the soda.
Her eyes shot open with wild delight, and she asked Han Sen, ”What is this stuff? Did you squeeze this juice out of a plant?”
”That stuff is gathered from a Jerkyvine while the drink was collected from a Sodatree Orchard,” Han Sen told her.
”Would it be rude of me to ask for some more?” Ling Mei'er asked Han Sen. She was clearly having trouble mustering the courage to request more.
”Yes, of course. You're going to have to remember this taste and flavor, after all,” Han Sen said, unsure if he himself was making a jape.
Ling Mei'er accepted more of the jerky he had to give, and she spared no time eating the quantity provided.
Han Sen noticed she still wanted more, and so he obliged. This time, however, he brought out spicy jerky. He told her, ”This is spicy, so mind your tongue. But I like it a lot, as well.”
”It's best I learn this flavor, then. You're right. Let me try it.” Ling Mei'er had gotten proficient at peeling open the jerky packaging, and as soon as she did, she began to ravenously gobble it all up. It was as if she hadn't eaten in months.
”That's right. Eat! Eat and fall right into my trap. Get hooked on the merchandise only Papa Han Sen can provide you,” Han Sen sneakily thought to himself. He figured himself for a sugar daddy.
After eating a bunch more packets of jerky, and downing a few more cans of soda, Ling Mei'er was finally starting to fill up.
Han Sen, thinking he had softened her resolve and scored a bunch of affinity points with her, asked her questions about the underground realm as she chewed her last mouthful.
There were certain things she was not able to tell Han Sen about Dark Spirit, but that aside, she told Han Sen all she could.
Han Sen came to learn that most of the underground realm, referred to as the Underworld by its inhabitants, was owned and controlled by the Dark Spirit tribe. There were a few other tribes too, and some even owned gold shelters. Ling Mei'er was too weak to claim a proper one for herself, but she still tried to her best for those who were willing to join her.
She only had a bronze geno core, too. So even if she and Han Sen did seek to bring down a gold shelter, it would be a tall order.
”Do you count as an adult for Dark Spirit, if you only have a bronze geno core?” Han Sen asked her.
Even super creatures started off with a weak geno core and low fitness, and they'd have to go through the same routine as others. Ling Mei'er would have to upgrade her geno core if she really wanted to expand.
