Chapter 19 Moonlight Moria
After studying the system mall, Gel started to go on a crazy online shopping spree to pick out some gifts for the three people.
As a boss, you have to be nicer to your subordinates. Gel first bought Chinese cookbooks for Uncle Fate. How could the food culture of countries that live a good life be compared with that of China? So he directly arranged all eight major cuisines and bought dozens of books on cooking at once, which was bound to open another door for Chef Fate.
I also bought a bunch of snacks for Biya, including candies, biscuits, spicy noodles, nuts, and stuffed toys that all girls would like, as well as some storybooks and comic books. There was everything except the kind that taught people to become pirates.
As for Weeble, don't even think about it, just buy a bunch of food.
As Gel walked out of the cabin with a bunch of things, he saw Weevil asking Bia for candy with a smug look on his face.
"No, no! I gave you 10 and you ate them all in one bite. I'm almost out of food!"
Weibull scratched his head like a little kid, embarrassed.
"Just give me another one. I'll eat it slowly this time."
"No! You said the same thing last time and the time before that! And you swallowed it all in one gulp and asked me for it again!"
Bi Ya put her hands on her hips and refused.
Uncle Fitt stood aside with a candy in his hand. He slowly tore open the wrapping paper, revealing the milky white candy. Instead of throwing the whole thing into his mouth, he licked it with his tongue, squinting his eyes to taste it carefully. His movements were very obscene. After a while, he licked it a few more times, repeating this action over and over again, with a frown on his face, as if he was analyzing the ingredients.
Gel looked confused.
No way, isn’t it just candy?
As for?
It's okay if children like to eat candy, but why do you two adults look like you are addicted to it?
This world is not a primitive society lacking in delicious food. Can a toffee be so delicious?
Gel opened the system puzzledly and bought another bag of candy. He took one for himself. Except for the lack of any words on the package, everything else was the same as he remembered. After opening the wrapping paper, he found the familiar white candy. Gel threw the candy into his mouth.
"Ok??"
His eyes lit up instantly.
"This is so delicious!"
Such a strong milky aroma! Such a refreshing sweetness! Geer felt that he was not eating the candy, but the candy was eating him. He was completely immersed in this happy and sweet taste like first love.
How is this going?
It was completely different from what I had imagined. It was at least a hundred times more delicious! Don’t ask how much more delicious it was. Geer just thought it was so delicious that it was beyond description.
"Oh my god, isn't it possible that they have added a lot of technology and hard work?"
Son, son!
【I am here! 】
Why is this candy so delicious? Is there something added to it?
[Hello, the ingredient list is extremely clean, and no pigments or food additives are used. ]
Gel couldn't figure it out and could only attribute it to the fact that the products produced by the system must be high-quality.
Never mind, as long as it tastes good, just eat it first.
As he spoke, Gel took out a bunch of snacks and said they were for Bia, but they were immediately shared by everyone.
"It's delicious!" times 4
Bi Ya held the toy rabbit that Ge Er gave her and asked curiously:
"Captain, where did these super delicious snacks and toys come from? When I went shopping with you just now, it seemed that you only bought some oranges."
Gel waved his hand to signal everyone to come closer, and after the four of them formed a small circle, he explained in a low voice:
"Hey, everyone, you must keep this a secret for me! This is my new ability. As long as I have money, I can exchange it for all kinds of things, including food, drinks, and daily necessities. You can simply think of it as having a store on my body, and I can buy things with money!"
"This is amazing, isn't it? Captain, this is the devil fruit ability you told me about before!"
Bea exclaimed.
"Yeah, yeah, that's almost right. I call it the Krypton-Krypton Fruit!"
Ger laughed.
Uncle Fate was also shocked that there was such a magical thing, but then he changed his mind and realized that the captain could conjure up all kinds of food and drinks out of thin air anytime and anywhere, and these things were so delicious that he had to admit that he could not make them. It seemed that he, the chef, had become a little redundant on the ship, and his fighting ability was not good either. At most, he was at the level of a pirate with a bounty of several million, and he was not even as good as a finger of Weevil. Thinking of this, Fate could not help but feel a little lost.
Only Weibull didn't react at all. He just ate the spicy strips. This spicy and fragrant thing was his favorite of all snacks. He stuffed one after another into his mouth and couldn't stop! He had no time to listen to what Geer said.
Gel observed the change in Fate's expression, guessed what he was thinking, and patted the uncle on the shoulder to comfort him:
"Uncle, these things taste so good because the raw materials are extraordinary. You can't tell how they are made because some of the ingredients and seasonings don't even exist in this world."
"I'm fine, Captain. I just feel that I was too narrow-minded before. I always arrogantly thought that my cooking skills had reached the pinnacle. Now that I've been out to sea for a short time, I've seen that there's more to it than meets the eye. It seems that I still have a long way to go in cooking!"
Fate laughed.
"Right, right, right! Don't be discouraged. These are just appetizers. I can also get a lot of top-quality ingredients that even the legendary All Blue doesn't have, Uncle Fate! You will be the first chef in the world to have the opportunity to cook them!"
Fate's eyes lit up when he heard that.
The marine life in the four seas is isolated by the red soil continent extending vertically from north to south and the great sea routes and the doldrums running across the east and west, resulting in a completely different ecological system in the four seas. However, legend has it that there is a sea area that has all the fish and other ingredients in the four seas. It is the miracle sea in the minds of chefs - ALL BLUE!
For chefs, ALL BLUE is a holy place! It is heaven! On the sea, countless chefs will find it as their lifelong dream!
Captain Gill actually said that there were many ingredients that even ALL BLUE didn't have waiting for him to cook. How could Fate not be happy and excited? He felt his blood boiling and almost burst into tears!
"Haha, really? That would be awesome!"
"By the way, these books are also my gifts to you."
As Gel spoke, he took out a large stack of books and placed them on the deck.
Uncle Fate picked up a book and opened it to take a look. He couldn't take his eyes away. He read it carefully for a long time before he said to Gel excitedly:
"This...! This is unheard of! It's unprecedented! I just flipped through a few pages, and the dishes recorded here, whether in terms of preparation, ingredients, knife skills, heat, seasoning, or even utensils, many of them are things I have never heard of!"
"Captain! Where are these cooking methods from? I was impressed by just a few dishes. This book is like countless top chefs have compiled and recorded their lifelong insights into cooking!"
"These books are truly a chef's treasure! Captain! These books are so valuable! Can you really give them to me?"
"They're all yours!"
"Thank you so much, Captain Gill!"
100 for a copy of Bailey's book, this money is not enough for me to buy an orange, so take it. It turns out that you don't have to give expensive gifts, you have to give the right gifts.
Geer was secretly happy and said with a smile:
"These books come from an ancient and mysterious country with a cultural heritage of more than 5000 years. Now I am giving them to you, hoping they will be useful to you."
"By the way, if there are some things in there that you haven't heard of, you can ask me to buy them for you. I'm really looking forward to tasting more new delicacies that you, Uncle Fate, will make!"
"No problem! Leave it to me, Captain!"
Gel took out a bunch of ingredients and said:
"Also, these are the ingredients I bought. Let's try tonight to see if the taste is really different."
Uncle Fate was as happy as if he had found a treasure. He carefully put the book away and then came back to the kitchen with a bunch of ingredients to prepare dinner.
In the evening, the four of them sat around on the deck to eat together. Ger got some light bulbs and light strips to enhance the atmosphere. They enjoyed themselves while listening to the sound of the waves and eating delicious food.
Gel tasted every dish, and as expected, the food made with the ingredients produced by the system was extremely delicious. If he opened a restaurant on the sea, it would definitely be famous all over the world and make a lot of money. He would seize the catering market more than ten years in advance, and there would be no chance for Barati.
Gel was thinking about how to use these resources to make a profit. After all, now that we have the krypton gold system, which is a money-eating beast, we must develop some industries that can provide stable economic income.
When Gel's thoughts returned to the dinner table again, the dishes on the table had been devoured by the three people in a flash.
Although there were a lot of food for dinner, it was indeed much less than usual.
Considering that Weevil can eat the same amount of food as an entire sea beast in one meal, this amount of food should obviously not be enough for him, but tonight even Weevil was full.
After consulting the system, Gel learned that these foods not only taste good, but also have energy density dozens of times that of ordinary foods. Moreover, long-term consumption can improve physical fitness to a certain extent. This is another unexpected surprise, which makes Gel's desire to make money even more uncontrollable.
After finishing here, I must hurry to Sky Island!
Money! I want money!
The treasures on the ship had been recharged by Gel, and there was nothing else to worry about losing, so Gel took the three of them to the town to have a massage to relax, the regular kind.
But Fate insisted on not going. He couldn't wait to jump into the ocean of knowledge. Bia was also tired from walking today, so she fell asleep on the sofa holding her doll.
There was no choice but for Gel to take Weeble out for a walk and experience the nightlife.
On the way, Weibull stroked his beard somewhat uncomfortably, which gave him a bit of the flavor of the Martial Saint Guan Yu. His long golden hair was tied into a loose ponytail.
"Brother, why don't you let me lift my beard up? This way I won't look like my father with a white beard anymore."
Gel looked at Weibull's new and vigorous appearance and said with satisfaction:
"Weibull, you are Whitebeard's son. This is a fact. You don't need to imitate him outwardly."
"And you are determined to become the strongest man in the world! When everyone hears the name [Weibull], they will think of [strongest] first! Instead of saying:"
"Oh, son of Whitebeard, do you understand?"
"Well, I don't understand, but I will listen to you, brother."
Weibull scratched his head and gave the most standard answer, and Geer didn't know how to refute it.
One of the reasons why Ger deliberately changed his image was that he didn't like the fact that Weevil kept imitating Whitebeard Newgate like in the original work.
The second reason is that I don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble at this critical juncture.
Pirate King Roger surrendered himself for no reason. The Navy has always suspected Roger of cheating, and they are also worried that the remnants of Roger's pirate group will come to rob the execution ground. If Roger is rescued, it will be a very heavy blow to the prestige of the Navy.
Therefore, the navy was extremely sensitive at this time, and any slight disturbance would attract the navy's close attention.
Weevil has now successfully lost weight, and his body shape and height are close to Whitebeard. If he shows both his white crescent beard and the A-grade Kusukume Kirei, the navy will definitely mistakenly think that it is Whitebeard who came to save Roger. After all, Whitebeard and Roger do have a good relationship in private.
