16. Squidward's guide
"Can I ask it a question secretly? Because the question I want to ask is more personal. Lin Li asked.
"Of course you can, I definitely won't eavesdrop!" SpongeBob SquarePants immediately took out an earmuff out of nowhere and put it on his head.
However, Lin Li still didn't ask directly in front of him, but walked a few steps away, and after confirming that SpongeBob was still standing in place, he pulled the pull ring of the magical conch and asked in a low voice:
"Wonder Conch, do you know the secret recipe for the delicious crab roe burger?"
Letting go of the tab, the magical conch let out a hollow mechanical female voice: "I don't know." ”
"Can you guide me in his direction, then?"
"Turn your head." The magical conch responded to him.
“……”
Lin Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva, this kind of answer was really a bit crazy.
When Mr. Krabs was ready, he stood behind him and stared at his mental preparation, and Lin Li slowly turned his head.
The edges were filled with huge white eyes, which appeared in front of him, a familiar picture, and between the eyes, there was a huge drooping nose.
It's Squidward.
Could it be that because the octopus has multiple soft-soled legs and does not wear shoes, it walks without sound?
Squidward changed out of his earthy brown civilian clothes, put on the purple pajamas he only wears at home, and was frowning at the moment looking at the magical conch in Lin Li's hand, and said:
"How could you believe such a thing."
"When I was on land, Texas had an offshoot of the Magical Conch Club called the Garlic Conch Club, and their conch clubs often gave them guidance.
I'm a scientist, so I wanted to study whether this thing was as magical as rumored to be, and whether it worked. ”
Lin Li said.
As long as the people in "SpongeBob SquarePants" don't know the situation on land, they can arrange it casually.
- And he did study that the conch thing, except for some high-quality things that can be used for sashimi, the rest, the garlic charcoal grill, the taste is the best!
"It's just a boring toy, it's useless at all, instead of asking for help from this toy, you might as well come to me, my dear friend, and I'll help you." Squidward said disdainfully.
Lin Li looked strange - because after all, the magical conch guided him to find Squidward.
Is this a paradox?
"Don't you say that about the magic conch, Squidward! Have you forgotten what you said last time, 'Long live the magical conch'! SpongeBob SquarePants, who was walking slowly, immediately asked dissatisfiedly after hearing what Squidward said.
"I was crazy at the time, what I said didn't count, and besides, I never joined your club." Squidward looked at SpongeBob SquarePants, but he didn't need to be provoked, just elaborated flatly.
"You traitor!" SpongeBob said angrily, "I won't let you ask for the opinion of the magic conch in the future." ”
"Ha-ha-, I'm so scared." Squidward said disdainfully.
"Don't quarrel, don't quarrel."
Lin Li hurriedly stood between the two of them and said, first sent SpongeBob SquarePants back to his home, and handed him the magical conch in his hand:
"Thank you for lending me the magic conch, SpongeBob SquarePants."
"Did it help you? Bristling. SpongeBob SquarePants looked a little sad, he looked at Lin Li expectantly, and asked.
"Of course, it showed me the way forward and inspired me a lot, and when I get back on land, I'm going to join Garlic...... Magical Conch Club", thank you very much. ”
"If it helps you, that's great!" SpongeBob SquarePants immediately smiled.
"Squidward has something to do with me, I'll go find him first, and I'll come to play with you when I'm free." Lin Li said with a smile.
"Okay!" SpongeBob SquarePants immediately nodded his head highly.
"Squidward, I do have a puzzle and need your help." After SpongeBob closed the door, Lin Li walked up to Squidward and asked sincerely.
"Don't be so polite, the relationship between the two of us doesn't need to be like this, if there is any problem, just say it, I will definitely help you."
"Let's go to your house and tell me."
"Okay."
"That's right." The two of them sat facing each other on the sofa, crossed their hands on their knees, and after a while, they spoke:
"First of all, please believe that I have no ill will towards you or the King of the Crab Castle."
Squidward nodded and didn't speak.
"I want to know the secret recipe for the delicious crab roe burger, may I ask Squidward, do you know?" Lin Li went straight to the point, but before answering, he immediately added: "I didn't want to steal this thing.
I am a scientist, and I am interested in this secret recipe as a scientist.
As you can see, I ate a crab burger in the afternoon, and I vomited like that, and I couldn't even listen to your music.
But what I have seen and heard from working in Crab Castle King today tells me that the residents of Beechburg are very fond of eating crab roe burgers, and today alone, there are several people ordering more than one at a time.
Therefore, I think there is a slight difference in taste between the inhabitants of the land and the bottom of the sea, and the reason why I want the secret recipe is to reproduce it on the land and peek into the leopard to study the mystery of this aspect. ”
Lin Li said the nonsense he had just made up, and then looked directly at Squidward, who was listening carefully, waiting for an answer.
Squidward himself didn't have much sense of belonging to the Crab Castle King, so Lin Li dared to say it in front of him.
"I believe everything you said, Mr. Lin Li, those of us who like art would never conspire against such a thing.
It doesn't matter if you have malicious intentions towards the Crab Castle King, people like Mr. Krabs should have been taught a lesson a long time ago. But I can't tell you directly, because I don't know either, I'm not interested in it. ”
Squidward looked at Lin Li, smiled slightly, but shook his head and said.
"Well, it looks like I'm bothering, I'm really sorry." Lin Li nodded and said with some disappointment,
"But Mr. Lin Li, I can give you some guidance that may help you move forward." Squidward continued, "Don't ask SpongeBob SquarePants, he doesn't necessarily know, because he's only responsible for making - it's really just assembling, so it's useless for you to keep an eye on him." ”
When Squidward said this, he paused and looked at Lin Li.
"Hmm."
Lin Li nodded, and Squidward continued:
"The key to the crab roe castle is the meatloaf inside, and all the meatloaf in the crab castle king, as far as I know, is made and transported by the crab boss alone.
He would be the first to arrive at the King of Crab Castle every day, and bring with him enough meatloaf to make a day's worth of meatloon.
So I think that as long as you secretly follow Mr. Krabs all day after work, you can find the source of the meatloaf and know how to make it.
This is the help I can give you, I hope it will be useful to you, Mr. Lin Li. ”
"Helped me a lot, Squidward, thank you." Lin Li's sincere thanks.
Looking at Lin Li, who was bending down and bowing in front of him, Squidward quickly stepped forward to help him up.
The expression on his face seemed to be a little struggling, and when Lin Li looked up, it all disappeared, leaving only a normal smile.
"You're welcome."
"You're the only friend I have in this world who understands me."
"I'll definitely help you, Mr. Lin Li."
"Thank you so much." Lin Li smiled.
"As long as it puts you in a good mood."
"Of course."
"So now is the right time for me to play?" Squidward said happily.
“……”
"Uh...... I...... Yes. Lin Li, who couldn't find an excuse, said with a smile.
I'm so sad-
