This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1225 - 548 Looking Up at the Stars_2

"Brother, this person... could it be..." May hurriedly asked, her gaze constantly wavering between you and Katerina, wildly guessing the nature of your relationship.

You introduced each other to them...

Mu You guessed that the girl must have misunderstood his relationship with Katerina.

Katerina, only level 1, had surpassed a Duke in the Blood Family Hierarchy, which under normal circumstances would be nearly impossible. The only plausible explanation was that she was married to another Ancestor. Only through a completely selfless blood embrace could a person with no foundation be rapidly promoted to a nearing rank.

Mu You briefly explained Katerina’s background, then directly handed her over to May to level up.

Katerina, hearing that the city housed a Vampire Tribe, gladly agreed. Her initial purpose was, after all, to come out and preach for the Blood God, and the Vampire Tribe was obviously the most suitable target for the first batch of preaching.

When May heard from Mu You himself that Katerina was merely ’a fellow tribe member he met by chance’ on the road, she relaxed and led Katerina to meet the Duke.

After arranging things for Katerina, Mu You went to check on the situation in Goblin City.

You arrived at the southwest side of the City of Eternal Night and discovered that the space ahead was filled with densely packed steel buildings. From the pervasive scent of machine oil to the ticking of clocks coming from the city walls, everywhere showcased the superior technological level of the Goblins.

The entire Goblin city was a giant ring shape that expanded outward from the center, creating a vast mechanical city. The city’s buildings, mostly made of metal and stone, had towering towers and deep underground caves intertwined together, forming a three-dimensional city grid, filled with the Goblins’ unique mechanical design style...

At the city’s entrance, there were also complicated mechanisms, including early-warning detectors and retaliatory automatic turrets, making this city a fortress that was difficult to conquer...

Flying steam airships in the sky, automatic mining carts shuttling through underground pipelines, and transportation robots scattered across the streets... The entire city seemed like a huge mechanical organism, constantly operating, never resting...

New Clockwork City was constructed faster than imagined. From the descriptions, its scale seemed to match that of the original Clockwork City.

...In a factory deep within the city, you found the Alchemy Master Eugene and demanded the Forest Spirit Core from him.

Wearing a safety helmet and holding a wrench, Eugene saw you arrive and immediately showed impatience, jumping down from a mechanical cart.

"Coming to take away the core again? With these interruptions every three days, how do you expect us to develop?" Eugene complained, waving over a passing robot to retrieve the Forest Spirit Core.

It was clear the Old Goblin disliked seeing him, as each visit from Mu You meant demanding the Forest Spirit Core, and often he would be gone for a day or two, during which time the Goblin Factory would come to a complete standstill.

However, though reluctant, the Old Goblin was quite sensible and had never refused his request to take the core, at most just voicing complaints.

You received the Heart of the Forest Spirit from the robot’s hands.

The contaminated Heart of the Forest Spirit, current contamination level: 87.8053%.

Mu You was pleased to see this; the energy had consumed faster than expected. In less than a month’s time, the contamination had already decreased by 12%.

Originally, the Forest Spirit’s task for him was to clear 10% of the pollution within a year. By that logic, he had already completed the task and could go and find the Forest Spirit with the core anytime now.

Knowing that this task from the Forest Spirit came with a reward, a bottle of the ’Fountain of Youth’, which was not to be wasted gratuitously. Moreover, with this task as proof, he should be able to persuade other Forest Spirits to demand more Forest Spirit cores, so that he wouldn’t need to compete with Eugene for an energy source every day anymore. One for each, and even other cities in the Sky City could be arranged.

Mu You was about to find Vivian to inquire about the secluded location of the Forest Spirit Tribe, when suddenly a forum message popped up on his phone.

Mu You clicked to see that the message was from Jiu You, saying that the octopus legs he had previously sent were now processed and ready for his review.

"That was quick..."

Mu You was surprised. It hadn’t even been a day since he sent the octopus, and they had already finished cooking it?

This was urgent; finding the Forest Spirit would have to wait. Mu You teleported immediately to the capital.

Half an hour later, in the reception room of the Dragon Group Headquarters, he saw the so-called ’finished product’.

"Uh... Are you sure there’s no mistake?"

Mu You looked at the dish placed in front of him in a giant steaming basket, highly suspicious that they had secretly swapped the ingredients.

What was in the steamer wasn’t any octopus dish, but clearly a huge ’chopped chili fish head’.

"Rest assured, there’s absolutely no mistake!"

One of the chefs confidently stepped forward and began explaining to Mu You, "To meet your requirement of ’not recognizing the octopus shape’, we sculpted the octopus meat into thirteen pieces resembling fish heads, while the layer below that looks like dough is actually also octopus meat, grilled just right to a golden brown, making it appear like dough."

"We have named this dish— ’Looking Up at the Stars’!" After finishing the introduction, the chef then looked at Mu You, "What do you think, does it meet the requirements?"
