Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 708 - 360: Dang Kang’s Gift (Part 2)

"We’re all used to it. Mr. Luo usually talks like that. It was just a normal conversation, not an argument."

Luo Jun: ...

Shi Dadan was very surprised: "Bi fang has such a bad temper?"

Luo Jun, unable to bear it any longer, spun around and stared straight at Shi Dadan: "Shi Dang Kang, I’ve put up with you for a long time. Think you’re impressive because you’re an auspicious beast? Think you’re remarkable because you succeeded in crossing the tribulation on your own? Why are all you auspicious beasts so annoying?"

"Since last night when you started staying at my house, first you used my kitchen to make soup, then you used my TV to watch those silly, mindless comedies. The most crucial thing is, not sleeping at night is my habit. I stay up late to watch TV, not to purposely deprive myself of sleep to chat with you."

"Always dragging me into conversations, did we know each other before? What’s there to talk about, have we chatted for days in a group?"

"The most important thing is, I don’t need you to tell me any tribulation-crossing techniques. Do you think your tribulation-crossing is of any reference value? I’m most annoyed by you Dang Kang pretending to be honest and sincere all day long. Earlier, a Dang Kang lived next door to me, didn’t feed anything themselves, kept trading with my shed fur and the Pixiu next door, you Dang Kang are no good!"

Upon hearing the last sentence, Chen Huihong, who had been playing on her phone, suddenly perked up. She turned around almost to the back row: "Is there such a thing? I always wondered why Luo Jun hated Dang Kang so much, did you shed a lot before?"

Luo Jun: ...

Shi Dadan could only put on a simple smile: "Well, you can’t blame him entirely. Your Bi fang fur is indeed quite beautiful, many spirits like it. If I lived next door to you, I’d also collect it."

Luo Jun: ???

Qin Huai, silently driving, felt Luo Jun might almost explode from anger. To lighten the mood, Qin Huai proactively shifted the topic: "Alright, Mr. Luo, let’s not get caught up in these details. Let’s discuss what needs to be talked about now. Have you chosen the material for your tombstone yet?"

Luo Jun said blankly: "Yes, I’ve already transferred the money to Chen Huihong to place an order. It takes about 10 months for the tombstone to be ready. I’m aiming to die in 10 months."

"Does it really take that long to make a custom tombstone?" Qin Huai was astonished. It was truly a knowledge gap for him.

"The material and design Mr. Luo is looking for need to be custom-made overseas and transporting it back is quite complicated, so it takes some time," Qu Jing explained. "The design is pretty good; just not sure if Mr. Luo can see the finished product before passing away. If he goes within 10 months, he might have to wait years to see the finished product."

Shi Dadan focused on a completely different point: "Old Luo, you have less than 10 months, so you should pay attention to what I told you last night. The second life is really not the same as the first. You might think you remember many things, but in fact, some things are vague. Those vague parts will increase the difficulty of crossing your tribulation." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"The most crucial thing is never to indulge in past memories too much, and don’t be too different from ordinary people, or you’ll easily get drenched in charm water. Your temper needs to change too. How can a child have such a fiery temper like you?"

"Reincarnation is a tricky thing. If you’re reborn into a good family, that’s fine, but if not, you have to endure a few years before contacting us."

It’s clear that Shi Dadan was truly pouring his heart out to Luo Jun. He was very concerned about this Bi fang, whose situation was almost identical to his own, having failed in the first life’s tribulation and about to restart the second life.

Luo Jun was too lazy even to roll his eyes, silently turned his head away from Shi Dadan, and continued looking out the window pretending not to hear.

Qin Huai almost couldn’t hold back his laughter, finding Luo Jun hot-tempered yet a bit helpless toward Dang Kang because Dang Kang really was not very bright.

Qin Huai quietly asked Chen Huihong: "Sister Hong, tell me honestly, why did you think of bringing me along to the amusement park today?"

"Team building!" Chen Huihong blurted out. "We’ve known each other for so long but never went out to play together. Xiao Qin, you’re either making snacks every day or lying at home resting, more reclusive than us."

"Rare to see you out for once, of course, we also wanted to join in the fun. Going out with you is treated as team building."

"Where we go isn’t important; the main thing is we rarely go out together. If worst comes to worst, we can treat it as an outing. Anyway, we aren’t particularly keen on the amusement park. At my age, what would I do at an amusement park?"

Qu Jing silently raised his hand in the back: "But I really want to go to the amusement park. I’ve never been to one; I really want to ride a roller coaster."

Shi Dadan also cheerfully said: "I enjoy roller coasters too, exciting."

Qin Huai smiled but didn’t say anything, continuing to drive.

Though today unexpectedly turned from the Double Crab Bun Research Squad’s relaxation activity into the Loving Family group’s first team building, it was quite sudden but also pleasant.

After all, in a certain sense, what Luo Jun said wasn’t wrong. If he didn’t come out to team build soon, he’d have to wait for the next life.

At 11 a.m., Qin Huai led the group and arrived on time at the amusement park entrance.

Ouyang’s group arrived a few minutes earlier than Qin Huai’s side. Compared to the empty-handed Qin Huai group, Ouyang’s group was much more prepared, with each person carrying a bag or a sack, and Qin Luo even carried a big bag of snacks without feeling tired.

Zang Liang, seeing Luo Jun and Shi Dadan for the first time, was a bit curious and glanced at them a few more times. Then, he approached Qin Huai, covering his mouth to ask quietly: "Qin Huai, is your community doing these events out of care for elderly lonely people by bringing them to amusement parks? This is so strange. That old man looks at least over eighty. Dr. Qu is even pushing a wheelchair. What can they play?"
