Deities Are All Just My Food-Chapter 31 Lost Coast_1

31: Chapter 31 Lost Coast_1

31 -31 Lost Coast_1

The waiting room was noisy, with the arrival of a train, and the announcement calling for passengers to quickly check their tickets and proceed to the boarding gates.

Grrrumble!

Lin Baici’s stomach growled.

He pulled out his phone to check the time.

It was now 8:20.

There was still more than an hour until the departure of train G1955.

He was early.

“Train stations have high traffic, and lots of people means lots of lost items!”

Lin Baici guessed it was probably wallets or luggage.

He didn’t pick them up but hesitated for a moment before heading to the restroom.

He planned to put these pieces of luggage into the Black Tripod Bowl.

All the bags together weighed about fifty pounds, which was not only heavy but also cumbersome to carry.

“I hope the surveillance cameras aren’t watching me.”

Lin Baici was worried that walking into the restroom with a bunch of items and coming out with just a backpack might attract the attention of the station’s security cameras.

But carrying them was just too heavy, so Lin Baici decided to take a risk.

Still, Lin Baici was cunning; instead of choosing a secluded restroom in the corner, he went to one with a lot of people passing by.

Inside the urinal, there were blue toilet balls, the smell was slightly pungent.

The floor had been thoroughly cleaned by the janitorial staff.

There were quite a few people taking a dump, and after waiting for a few minutes, Lin Baici finally found a vacant one.

He walked in, locked the door, and took out the Black Tripod Bowl from his blue backpack.

The bowl was flat and circular, like the kind of jade box used to hold Go game pieces but was completely black, as if the color of a moonless night had solidified upon it, with a gold trim circling the base and the rim.

“No matter how many times I see it, it’s always so beautiful!”

Lin Baici, unable to put it down, wiped it and then brought the bowl up to his mouth to whisper.

“Eat porridge!”

“Eat porridge!”

After Lin Baici finished the phrase, a swirly halo of light immediately appeared above the bowl.

The ‘granary’ opened.

Lin Baici placed the rolling suitcase into the halo above the Black Tripod Bowl, and like sinking into a lake, it caused the light to ripple, spreading a layer of golden ripples.

When he also placed the handheld travel bag inside, he immediately felt much lighter.

The Black Tripod Bowl held so much stuff, but its weight hadn’t increased by even an ounce.

“Awesome!”

Lin Baici was elated.

His backpack contained essentials and important items like a charger, journal, wallet, umbrella, tissues, and water bottle, which he had to carry with him, but they only weighed three or four pounds, light as a feather.

Having dealt with the luggage, Lin Baici nonchalantly walked out of the stall and over to the sink to wash his hands.

When he returned to the waiting room and saw other passengers burdened with lots of luggage, he felt a sense of happiness within.

The Black Tripod Bowl was truly a must-have magical artifact for long trips!

Grrrumble!

The hunger was still there, indicating that the ‘lost item’ hadn’t been reclaimed by its owner yet.

Since there was still plenty of time, Lin Baici decided to go look for it.

Do good deeds, accumulate good karma, hope for a blissful four years of college life.

Lin Baici hummed a tune as he began his search.

Over the years, he had become quite skilled at finding ‘lost items.’

Hunger was like a radar.

The hungrier he was, the closer he was to the ‘lost items.’ When saliva built up to the point where he needed to swallow, it meant the ‘lost items’ were nearby.

Lin Baici reached the northwest corner of the waiting hall.

There were few people here, with a supermarket selling local specialties that had two customers inside.

Lin Baici looked around.

The cleaning staff had done a thorough job, and the floor was spotless.

There was no sign of wallets or mobile phones.

Lin Baici also paid special attention to the areas under the chairs, but found nothing.

“What are you looking for?”

A gruff question suddenly sounded.

Lin Baici looked up to see a man in his thirties staring at him, frowning heavily.

The man had a crew cut, was dressed in a suit, and held a cigarette in his left hand.

Lin Baici didn’t respond.

So what if you’re a social big shot?

I’m a God Hunter!

The man in the suit took a drag on his cigarette, assessing Lin Baici with a scrutinizing look, as if Lin Baici were a fugitive.

[This guy is arrogant, treating you like a greenhorn student.

Can you accept that?

Take him down.

After killing him, I suggest charbroiling him for the dogs!]

The Eater God spoke up, immediately advocating for violence.

Lin Baici ignored the Eater God and instead turned his attention to the chair beside the man in the suit, where a black handbag lay.

The hunger seemed to be caused by that suitcase.

What’s inside it?

“Hey, what are you blindly staring at?”

The suit man had a companion, a young man in his twenties with a big nose, who became annoyed when he saw Lin Baici gazing at the handbag.

Lin Baici turned and left.

“Ma Yuan…”

The young man with the big nose stood up and watched Lin Baici walking away, “That kid came over and then left suddenly, seems suspicious, should we interrogate him?”

“No need.

He’s probably just someone who lost something and came looking for it.

It has nothing to do with ‘Lost Coast’!”

The man in the suit, named Ma Yuan, watched Lin Baici’s retreating figure and took another drag off his cigarette.

“Just an ordinary student, don’t worry about it.

Let’s keep our focus on our target.

They’re carrying an A-level taboo object with a contamination intensity of 5.0.

Our mission cannot afford any mistakes!”

…

After seeing the man in the suit’s black case, Lin Baici’s hunger greatly diminished, confirming his suspicion that the case likely contained taboo things.

If it were gold or antiques or some other valuable items, even stolen by the man in the suit, Lin Baici wouldn’t feel hunger.

“I wonder if those two are wild God Hunters or official ones?”

Lin Baici found the A12 check-in entrance.

There were quite a few people seated in the four rows of seats nearby.

Haijing is a super first-tier city, and many people from Guangqing work there, making this train very popular.

Lin Baici looked for a seat to sit down.

There was a young woman in her twenties who was eye-catching.

She wore a denim skirt, exposing two long, pale legs, with beige studded high heels on her feet, very sexy, and a backless camisole on her upper body.

To her left was a small red trolley case.

The men around her would steal glances at her from time to time, feasting their eyes.

[I advise you not to sit next to her; she has HIV!]

“What?”

Lin Baici hadn’t planned to sit next to the woman, but Eater God’s statement still shocked him.

[You don’t even know this?

AIDS, understand?]

Eater God explained.

“No, I know what HIV is, what I mean is that the woman looks very healthy!”

Lin Baici was surprised, had she looked like an average girl, he would never have guessed that she carried such an infectious disease.

[What’s the use of looking?]

Eater God felt Lin Baici was quite naive: [Eyes can’t discern the truth.]

The young woman was bored scrolling through her phone, but when she caught sight of Lin Baici, her eyes lit up instantly.

Such a handsome guy!

He still has a youthful look on his face; could he be a university student?

However, the young woman couldn’t be sure because he wasn’t carrying large luggage, just a backpack, too casual.

Huh?

What’s up with this guy?

The young woman’s tattooed willow eyebrows furrowed slightly.

She was confident in her appearance and figure, and while most men didn’t dare to approach her, they would walk by her and steal more glances.

But this guy, he actually went around her.

Why?

Am I a plague?

The young woman was annoyed, but thinking about her condition, her expression suddenly stiffened.

Could he be a med student?

Could he tell I have HIV?

No, that’s not it,

I’ve been infected for less than five months, and no significant symptoms have shown up on my body yet.

Lin Baici found a seat, settled down, and began observing the waiting passengers.

Because Eater God would give commentary.

[A hot-tempered man who often beats his wife; he’s currently hungover and got pickpocketed when entering the station.

It’s best to stay away from him, careful to get blackmailed!]

It was a man in his thirties, balding, with swollen eyes, and seemed not yet fully awake.

[A hardworking and optimistic woman; don’t be fooled by her plain and worn clothes; her son was admitted to Peking University, she is a good mother who gave her child love and everything else!]

Eater God was referring to a woman with two snake skin bags beside her, stuffed with bedding, bulging.

She had been working in Haijing for over a decade to earn money for her son’s marriage and house.

She was tired but felt very happy.

Now she was just looking forward to her son getting married soon and giving her a chubby grandson.

“My mom is great, too!”

Lin Baici thought of his mother, his motivation to earn money grew even more.

[A man who has kidney and heart disease due to excessive toil, he hasn’t noticed yet.

If he doesn’t get treated, the best treatment period will be gone!]

It was another man in his thirties, with heavy dark circles under his eyes.

He had a Huawei laptop on his legs, tapping away at code, occasionally yawning and taking a big sip of coffee from the cup beside him.

“Are the things you’re saying accurate?”

Lin Baici asked, feeling that Eater God was probably right, despite his question.

Eater God disdainfully chose not to answer such a trivial question.

The train station is indeed the place where one can most vividly experience the full range of human life; some people are high-spirited, looking forward to the future, others are worn down by the hardships of life, only wishing to earn a bit of money to support their families.

Some are utterly devoted to love, unwaveringly faithful, while others indulge in massages and foot rubs, blissfully content.

Everyone’s bitterness is different, everyone’s joy is also different.

After listening for a while, Lin Baici looked down at his novel to pass the time.

Ding dong.

Lin Baici received a WeChat message.

Little Merperson: Where are you?

Hua Yue Yu had chatted with Lin Baici last night and learned that he was reporting for duty today.

She had already taken leave, intending to visit Lin Baici at Haijing Polytechnic.

To help him with various enrollment procedures and get him familiar with the dorm and the school environment.

Of course,

The most important thing was to have a welcoming feast.

Making the new student feel at home is the duty of a senior.
