Meng Die heard Rosen say that to lure the Tomb Raiders hiding in the dark corners of the villa, it’s necessary to prepare enough enticing bait. However, before that, they need to chum the area, letting the Tomb Raiders know someone is starting to feed them, thus increasing the success rate of the bait.
As a housewife, Meng Die cherished her ingredients. When she heard about using them to chum, she felt it was a waste.
So she suggested, "Throwing the ingredients out randomly is too wasteful. Why not use them to make some gourmet dishes before chumming?"
Having said that, she opened the intelligent pot and began to showcase her culinary skills. Soon, garlic oil lettuce, braised pig trotters, string beans with eggplant, dry pot lotus root, and braised squirrel fish...
...were all presented.
Curious, Rosen asked, "This is really odd. How come you just toss the ingredients in, and they immediately come out as gourmet dishes?"
Meng Die explained, "The reason is simple, because this pot is fully intelligent."
Persuaded by Meng Die’s reasoning, Rosen felt it made a lot of sense.
So he asked Meng Die to scatter these dishes into each corner of the villa for chumming.
Sure enough, not long after, Rosen noticed that the ground in each corner of the villa was covered with shadows devouring the chumming material.
Meng Die became intrigued, took out a fishing rod, ready to imitate the legendary fisherman Jiang Taigong, and see who would voluntarily take the bait.
She was stopped by Rosen, who said, "Isn’t this obviously telling them it’s a trap?"
In Rosen’s view, not placing bait on the hook was insulting the intelligence of these Tomb Raiders and irresponsibly handling the prepared chum.
"Alright, I’ll go prepare the bait!"
Meng Die said, then closed the pot’s lid and took out a piece of Oli Give from the top container.
The fragrant Oli Give exuded an enticing aroma, making Rosen feel dizzy from afar.
"Meng Die, you’re too generous, taking out your precious stinky tofu, you’re trying to muddle me as well, aren’t you?" Rosen said in shock.
"No, you’ve misunderstood. This isn’t stinky tofu, but the ancestor of stinky tofu, Oli Give!" Meng Die explained, "Oli Give has an even more enticing aroma that the Tomb Raiders cannot resist."
Having said that, she dangled the Oli Give on the fishing rod.
The fragrance quickly spread.
For a moment, everyone inside the villa was overwhelmed by the aroma!
"Wow, it’s Oli Give, it really is!"
"Yeah, I heard that Oli Give contains a substance used for making perfume and spices. It’s also a nice additive in food."
"Such fragrant Oli Give should be able to extract lots of essence, right?"
When the Tomb Raiders saw the Oli Give hanging in the air, their eyes lit up.
They adopted a hungry tiger pounce posture.
Immediately leaping up, grabbing the bait with one swift motion, and started devouring it ravenously.
At this moment, Meng Die on the stairs suddenly pulled the lever.
The Tomb Raider, who had been hiding and couldn’t be caught, was suddenly fished up.
"This is a trap, everyone must learn from this and not repeat the mistake!"
Even when fished up, the Tomb Raider didn’t forget to warn those below.
Unfortunately, the Tomb Raiders below were all frenzied, not caring much: "Look, another Oli Give has been dropped. This time, no one should fight me for it!"
Meng Die handed the fishing rod to Rosen, while she grabbed the Tomb Raider who’d just been caught, and interrogated: "Say, you pig!"
"Oops, got the script wrong, who sent you here?" Meng Die corrected herself quickly.
Meng Die then turned to Rosen: "Have you caught the leader?"
"Hold on, got him!" Rosen yanked the rod, and the Tomb Raider leader flew up the stairs.
"Rosen, you didn’t seem to use Oli Give earlier, how did you fish him up?" Meng Die asked.
Rosen explained, "Using bait to fish the leader is too difficult, so I used a lure, relying on my excellent casting skills, easily fished up the Tomb Raider leader."
Then, Rosen laughed heartily, hands on his hips.
Seeing Rosen laugh heartily, the Tomb Raider leader who’d just been fished up looked horrified, hurriedly asking, "Who am I, where am I, what do I want to do?"
"Is he muddled from being fished?" Meng Die asked.
Rosen said, "No, it’s a stress reaction, there was some neural stimulation from just being fished."
Then Meng Die began questioning the Tomb Raider leader about why they had suddenly visited her villa.
The Tomb Raider said, "The chosen one must not be born, or we’ll all be wiped out!"
The Tomb Raider leader foresaw that once the chosen one was born, it would bring disaster, and the Tomb Raiders would be considered villains and exterminated.
"But what if I tell you the chosen one has already been born?" Meng Die pointed to her now-flat belly.
Since the Tomb Raiders were already here, she couldn’t explain her previously bulging belly flattening again, so she had to say that.
Upon hearing this, the Tomb Raider leader’s face turned into immense fear.
"Oh no, I didn’t expect the chosen one to be born already. Looks like we must execute Plan B!" The Tomb Raider leader said fiercely: "Find the chosen one and snuff it out in the cradle!"
