Kingdom of Corrosion

After sending the female merchant away, the sun set in the west, and so much had happened today. Even though they had already dug up many oysters, Lin Wu still rushed everyone to dig for more. Lin Wu’s method of driving people was: "Maya, if you really can’t fulfill the betting agreement, then just let it go."

Maya discerned the implicit meaning in Lin Wu’s words: "So next time you lose a bet, you can just weasel out of it, is that it?"

"Haha, how could you think that?" Lin Wu, seeing he had been exposed, could only give a dry laugh.

Maya called out to everyone: "We’re only an hour away from finishing, everyone work hard and help each other. We absolutely can’t fulfill certain people’s expectations."

Everyone agreed enthusiastically, but only Stone weakly said: "It’s not like we’re betting against Lin Wu." If they were, their vigor would be justified. In fact, they would be competitors at future mahjong nights. The result of a strict adherence to the betting agreement by all eight people can only be mutual harm in the future. For instance, why did he insist on increasing the oyster count to 150 kilograms? Of course, he wanted to use the special relationship between Little Knife and Snow Egg to trap everyone, but the sly-as-a-fox Lin Wu immediately spotted the issue, leading to his own financial ruin, harming others as well as himself, and benefiting the scoundrel.

Because of Stone’s associations, during tonight’s oyster banquet, Stone raised a question: "Lin Wu, are you smart or not smart."

Lin Wu objected: "I’m still here, you know."

Stone said: "A topic every day, does anyone oppose tonight’s topic with more than two objections?"

Everyone answered: "No." They all were quite interested in discussing the matter, having a meal and incidentally making fun of Lin Wu as a form of revenge.

Peanut threw out a tentative idea: "Immaturity and intelligence are not directly related. Personally, I think Lin Wu is just shameless. Because his shamelessness exceeds our imagination, he appears smart."
