Chapter 1690 - Is It Tasty? Can We Eat It?

Once Luke agreed, the dog head was no longer anxious.

That was because it knew that the fiend was a man of his word; he had never once confiscated Gold Nugget's commission or secret stash.

He would even launder the dirty money which Gold Nugget and Selina obtained.

A few days later, two people and one dog approached the southernmost point of South America, and the harvest was finally sorted out.

As usual, fixed assets, antiques, jewelry and so on weren't included in the total amount.

Selina and Gold Nugget only needed two things: money and gold.

Actually, Selina wasn't interested in gold, but a certain dog head was quite interested in this "close relative," so Luke and Selina treated it like a toy for the dog.

In any case, Gold Nugget wasn't good at math. Even if the gold was converted into points or money, it wouldn't be able to remember it at all.

At home, a few gold carvings based on its original form were placed next to its kennel in Selina's room, and it was satisfied with that.

From this point of view, Gold Nugget was a lot like a kid getting New Year money.

Although it knew that money was very important, it couldn't spend it itself. So, it might value money, but not very much — as long as it didn't use it all up, everything was fine.

Now, when it heard Luke offer it 50 million dollars and 200 kilograms of gold, Gold Nugget simply stared at Selina.

Selina rolled her eyes. The dog head had forced her to attend this meeting over such a small matter.

She simply said, "In the future, your online shopping limit can be increased to 5,000 dollars a month."

Gold Nugget immediately understood and nodded frantically.

Luke had specifically reminded Selina before that she had to put a cap on the dog head's online shopping.

Coupled with the fact that it had secretly bought Selina a full set of toys back then, whatever it now wanted to buy had to be cleared by Selina first.

It could only be said that it had brought this disaster on itself.

Thus, the dog head was keenly aware of the monthly limit.

Selina and Gold Nugget also used this shopping limit as a gauge for how much they earned.

At the very beginning, however, she calculated it in years. For example, if Gold Nugget had a million, and spent 10,000 a year, it would have enough to use for 100 years.

Now, they could only count it by the month. If it was 50 million, then it was 5,000 a month.

They weren't bullying Gold Nugget because it didn't understand math; it was just that this guy really would buy a bunch of useless things if they weren't careful.

It was impossible for them to keep useless things at home. Most of it was donated to the neighboring shelter still in the packaging.

The problem was that some of these things couldn't be donated, so Selina could only secretly throw them away.

That was why the guy's consumption limit went from one percent to 0.1 percent.

After Gold Nugget got some reassurance, the yacht started to go around Cape Horn.

Luke remembered the Falklands War from his school textbook in his past life.

However, the islands were further east, and Luke wasn't interested in visiting them.

On the west side was also a famous geological feature — the Strait of Magellan.

The water route here wasn't easy to navigate, so Luke chose Ushuaia.

The last time he did a job for Weyland Corporation, he had flown to the South Pole from here.

Two people and one dog docked at the port in Ushuaia. They put on their armor and turned invisible as they entered the Antarctic Circle.

It was summer in the South Pole. Luke took Selina and Gold Nugget to look at the remains of the underground pyramid – it could be considered a trip down memory lane.

They were wearing armor, and the weather was much better. They didn't have to worry about the low temperature like the first time Luke came, and they played for a bit in the Antarctic Circle.

Unfortunately, it was past the period to see the aurora here.

Selina didn't really care. She excitedly picked up an average-sized penguin and asked, "Hm, is this edible?"

Luke heard her very clearly, and Gold Nugget couldn't help but suck in a breath.

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "According to people who have eaten it, it's not very delicious because most of it is fat. Hm, don't even think about eating it." Naturally, the latter half of the sentence was directed at a certain dog head.

This guy had a bigger diet than humans, and wouldn't feel sick even if its entire mouth was full of fat.

Selina regretfully dropped the struggling penguin.

A moment later…

"What about this? It looks tasty," she asked Luke, holding something white and yellow.

Luke said, "…Seals are similar to penguins. They have a lot of fat, and they definitely don't taste as good as what we usually eat."

Selina frowned. "Are they all that bad?"

Luke grabbed the annoyed seal and threw it back into the ocean, before he pulled her along. "These are all protected animals. You're not Gold Nugget. Don't copy how it eats everything in sight – you might get a rare disease. Humans raise livestock to satisfy their cravings. Those are the ones that have been tested to be safe for consumption, and they taste the best."

Selina was unhappy. "Rubbish, a lot of the seafood we eat is wild!"

Luke said, "The fish we like to eat makes up a very small portion of the fish in the ocean. Even if someone else eats it, they might not be able to stomach it."

Selina asked, "For example?"

Luke immediately thought of something. "Canned herring. I'll buy it for you when we get back."

Hearing that, Selina stopped asking and turned to look at the ocean in the distance. "Why don't we go fishing?"

Luke: "Okay."

As soon as he said that, something white and yellow suddenly jumped out of the water and landed on an iceberg not far away. It was the seal which they had thrown back into the water.

Selina narrowed her eyes. "Look, it doesn't want to leave. How about we roast it and give it a try? If it tastes bad, we can give it to Gold Nugget."

Gold Nugget nodded vigorously to indicate that it didn't mind.

Annoyed, Luke gestured at it to shut up. "Eat, eat, eat. You even want to eat sh*t."

Depressed, Gold Nugget whined, knowing that it was hopeless.

Suddenly, something black and white jumped out of the ocean and landed on the iceberg to bite the seal.

Blood splattered on the ice.

Luke: …

Selina: …

Gold Nugget: …

The next moment, Luke dashed out, grabbed the half of the seal carcass that was left, and threw it to the dog. "Alright, you can try this half."

Gold Nugget's eyes lit up.

Staring at the big black and white guy in the ocean, Selina sucked in her breath. "This… is probably a fish, right?"

Luke was lost for words. "…That's a killer whale, not a fish."

Just like how pandas aren't cats, Luke grumbled inwardly.

Selina couldn't look away from the black and white killer whale. "Is it tasty?"

Luke didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Let's go. We'll go fishing underwater for a feast. Gold Nugget, stay here. Don't let anything else steal your snack."

Gold Nugget nodded decisively.

The suits entered the ocean and descended at a regular speed.

This wasn't a battle; there was no need to rush.

In the end, a black and white shadow followed them and circled them curiously.

Selina took another deep breath. "It's fate."

Luke said, "…It's not a fish. Also, it's very smart. There is no record of wild killer whales attacking humans."
