Chapter 94: The Pudding Factory (6)
Hop-! Hop-!
Click-! Clack-! Click-! Clack-!
The rhythmic dance of the Golden Rabbit Reapers finally came to a close. Their synchronized movements had been so mesmerizing, it felt like they could have gone on forever. But before long, the pudding-making session ended.
The diligent Golden Reapers proudly placed their finished puddings into the refrigerators and plopped down around them, waiting for them to be completed.
There were exactly five refrigerators in the Garden of the Golden Reapers. The Reapers sat in a circle around them, their faces beaming with satisfaction from a job well done.
Watching their hard work, I reached a bittersweet realization.
Even though it seemed like our grand plan to churn out Ninja Puddings in the Garden of Golden Reaper was a success, it was also kind of a flop.
For starters, it took forever! Like, seriously, who has the patience for that?! And those refrigerators? There were just five of them!
While that might be plenty for the Golden Reapers, it was nowhere near enough for me. After all, each fridge was only big enough to hold one cup of pudding.
So, after all that waiting, we’d only end up with five measly puddings.
That’s it. Just five. So few. Way too few!
I wracked my brain for a solution, but nothing popped into my head…
Maybe we could move the pudding to another fridge?
But no, from the looks of it, the garden only had enough ingredients for five cups of pudding. So more fridges wouldn’t help.
Should I hunt more rabbits? There were only five chef hats in the garden now. If I kill more rabbits, would more hats appear?
Also, how can I sneakily “borrow” those five puddings without the Golden Reaper noticing?
I glanced over at the Golden Reapers, who were grinning and eagerly waiting for their puddings to chill.
My worries grew deeper and deeper.
