Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System

If eyes could talk, then those eyes right now were basically saying:

"Damn, you can't just flex this hard in a Versailles way.

Why does what you said make my liver hurt so much?

What do you mean, 'it tastes bad, but it's still better than going hungry'?

Good grief, this is the first time I've ever heard someone say seafood is nasty, to the point it doesn't even taste as good as millet."

Seeing the look in Lin Yi's eyes, Leng Yu at the side also felt a bit puzzled. She glanced at Lin Yi, a bit confused, and asked:

"What's wrong, Young Master Lin? Did I say something wrong? Well, I probably made you laugh. I suppose, when it comes to things from the ocean, you probably wouldn't touch them in the Immortal Realm, right?

And yeah, if it's not absolutely necessary, who'd want to eat that stuff?"

Good grief, this is too much, way too much. You can't flex in Versailles mode like this.

Of course, even though that's what he was thinking, Lin Yi couldn't say it out loud. No matter how he tried to explain, Leng Yu probably wouldn't get it.

He could only shake his head helplessly, then motion for Leng Yu to follow his steps as they walked over there together.

Seeing Lin Yi move forward, Leng Yu didn't say anything more. She quickly sped up and stayed close at Lin Yi's side.

She didn't know what exactly that look in Young Master Lin's eyes just now meant, but she was sure of one thing: that kind of crude stuff, Young Master Lin definitely wouldn't eat it up in the heavens.

Sure enough, just as Leng Yu had said, when the two of them reached the kitchen area, the big pot in the kitchen was currently boiling with huge lobsters, and not just that—there were also giant crabs the size of soccer balls.

Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn't help swallowing a big gulp of drool with a "gulp".

Good grief, this really was a full-on Versailles moment, even more Versailles than he'd imagined. Just that lobster, as long as half a forearm, looked like it weighed at least eight or nine jin.

A lobster that size, if you put it in the later generations, would be worth its weight in gold. Not to mention those soccer-ball-sized crabs.

And these weren't king crabs, but real deal big sea crabs. Crabs this big were the kind you could only dream of running into.

You'd hardly see them at all in later generations.

And even if you did see one, it would probably sell for several hundred thousand at least.

Yet right now, it had just been casually tossed into this big iron pot, rolling and boiling away.

If those top-tier chefs of the later generations saw this scene, they'd be jumping mad. This was straight-up trampling on heavenly treasures.

Of course, it wasn't just seafood here. In another big pot to the side, a massive batch of horse meat was being stewed.

But compared to that whole pot of seafood next to it, the horse meat had zero appeal to Lin Yi.

When the people around saw the two of them arrive, they immediately stood up to bow and greet them one after another.

The one who'd been constantly turning the crabs and lobsters in the pot, Lao Liu, shoved the iron shovel into the hands of the person next to him, then trotted over to the two, grinning.

Seeing this guy, Lin Yi directly lifted his foot and kicked him in the butt.

"Not bad, kid. You got all this stuff yourself?"

As he spoke, Lin Yi pointed at the big pot of seafood beside them, giving Lao Liu a look of approval.

But as soon as he heard that, Lao Liu hurriedly shook his head and explained:

"What stuff? You mean those big shell bugs? I didn't get those.

Why would I go catch that crap for fun? That stuff tastes nasty as hell. Those things were all caught by the brothers in the camp over there when they were out grazing the horses and went down to the sea.

When we went to pick them up earlier and I saw that stuff, I even said we should just toss it, what's the point of bringing it back? It's not like we don't have food now—we still have plenty of horse meat.

But those guys just wouldn't have it, they insisted on bringing it back.

We had no choice but to make do and haul it back.

But that stuff really doesn't taste good. In a bit, Young Master, you should just eat the horse meat. Leave those things for us to eat."

As he said this, Lao Liu kept shaking his big head, face full of disgust, as if those giant lobsters and crabs really were horrible to eat.

Lin Yi almost wanted to go over and kick him in the butt again.

Well damn, he'd thought Leng Yu was the only one flexing in Versailles mode—turns out here comes another one.

Of course, after thinking it through, he understood. To someone from the later generations like him, this stuff really was a rare delicacy. But to people who'd lived by the sea all their lives, it really was nothing special.

Not to mention this was ancient times. The ocean hadn't been overfished like in the 21st century, which meant the current marine ecosystem was thriving.

You could say that catching any random big shrimp would give you one or two jin easily.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help feeling his fingers itch. It looked like the good days ahead were about to begin.

In his free time, he could go grab some seafood to eat—that'd be pure bliss.

Those giant lobsters and crabs you'd never get to eat in the later generations would here be just one random haul giving you a big pile, and eating them would be爽歪歪.

Just picturing it made the corner of his mouth start to drool a little, but when he looked at Lao Liu in front of him, he felt a bit helpless again. This guy was a total stubborn blockhead.

Once this guy decided something, he absolutely wouldn't change his mind.

He believed horse meat was tasty and fragrant, so he was determined to save it for Lin Yi.

As for those crabs and lobsters and whatnot, he would definitely leave them for himself.

And he was doing it entirely out of good intentions.

It wasn't just Lao Liu; everyone around them was thinking the same.

When they saw Lin Yi and Leng Yu coming, their first thought was to leave that big pot of stewed horse meat for Leng Yu and Lin Yi to eat.

As for themselves, just eating some of those "big shell bugs" with a bit of horse-meat broth mixed in was already pretty good.

However, Lin Yi obviously wasn't going to agree to that, nor would he let it happen.

So he looked straight at Lao Liu opposite him, a deeply gratified expression on his face, and said:

"How could that do? There are so many elderly, weak, women, and children here."
