Chapter 831 Lu Li's Abyssal Mouth

Chapter 831 Lu Li's Abyssal Mouth

Lu Li found that Aizen was not around, so he turned on the team channel and asked about his condition directly through voice.

"Sosuke, where have you been?"

Lu Li asked. He had just sensed the spread and discovered that he should be in a gourmet ecological zone in the human world.

"Brother Lu, I don't seem to be on Earth."

Aizen's voice rang out in the group chat, "It's not that there was an error in the transmission. The space should have assigned the target point according to personal characteristics."

"Oh? Could it be that Sosuke is on some gourmet planet in the universe?"

Lu Li asked curiously. He knew that space would not teleport randomly. Even if the rhythm was disturbed by external forces, his separation from Aizen last time was not an accident. After all, Aizen landed next to the planet where Boros was. It can be seen that space put a lot of thought into choosing the location.

What was actually disrupted was the time node for the two of them to land. Originally, Lu Li might have landed at a later node.

"That's not the case. I just conducted a few small tests and found that the laws of physics in the universe here are slightly different from what we know. I also observed the internal organs of some creatures and felt that they were not as described in the comics we read."

Aizen said, "I suspect that I am not in the universe where Brother Lu is, but in a universe of other colors."

Lu Li found it very interesting when he heard this. He remembered that the big guy in the group said that in the worldview of food hunters, the universe is divided by color. There are five universes: black, white, red, green and blue. They were all born in the food explosion.

This kind of information was not included in the comic progress that he and Aizen saw. The chat group did give him a lot of intelligence advantages, at least he would not be confused right from the start.

"Do you want me to pull you over?"

Lu Li asked. Although he said so, he felt that Aizen would most likely not agree.

"No, I plan to explore on my own first. Normally, it should be difficult to go to other universes. This is an opportunity for us to verify the differences between the universes."

As expected, Aizen refused. He was not the kind of person who liked to rely on others. It was a rare opportunity to explore a fantasy food universe alone, so he naturally would not go out of his way to ask Lu Li to use team assembly to pull him back.

Moreover, intelligence gathering is very important for explorers. By exploring different universes, they can gain a large amount of exploration points. If they converge, they will lose their starting advantage.

The only regret was that if he wasn’t with Lu Li, he wouldn’t be able to eat the tofu dishes made by the chef.

However, Aizen felt that since this world was dominated by food culture, he would not have trouble finding a good chef here.

"Okay then, split up first, and call me if you need anything."

After Lu Li confirmed that there was no problem with Aizen, he cut off the call and then checked his mission in this world.

[Main Quest. First Round: Gourmet Hunter]

Mission content: Pioneers must find a way to obtain gourmet cells within one natural month and become a gourmet hunter.

Mission Difficulty: Normal ~ Nightmare
Mission Reward: Heritage Crystal. Large*100
Failure penalty: -3 point for all attributes

The reward for this task was so generous that Lu Li exclaimed, "Wow!" You know, he defeated the Valkyrie in the last world, and the optional inheritance crystal in the basic reward was only 80 at most.

He didn't know whether to say that this world was indeed very beneficial to seventh-level explorers, or whether to say that this mission might not be as simple as it seemed, especially for himself, it might indeed be difficult.

Lu Li knew that there were usually two ways to awaken the gourmet cells.

The first way is very simple. Just keep eating delicious food. If you eat enough of the best food, your gourmet cells may suddenly awaken one day.

The principle is that all the gourmet creatures in this world basically carry a little bit of gourmet cells, which is somewhat related to the origin of the initial fermentation of this planet. The source of gourmet cells is contained in the deep sea. The jellyfish is eaten by other deep-sea animals, and then gradually spreads this cell to the entire ocean and even the land.

So in theory, just like what Lu Li knew about heavy metals, the higher a creature is on the food chain, the more heavy metals it has in its body... Oh no, gourmet cells.

Simply put, the stronger the biological gourmet cells, the stronger the gourmet cells and the higher the content. If normal humans eat more, they may also awaken the gourmet cells, which seems a bit contagious.

However, this method is more casual and requires a long period of accumulation depending on personal circumstances. Anyway, there are many wealthy people on the earth, and they often buy delicious food, but few people have awakened their gourmet cells. It can only be said that it is also related to personal physique.

In other words, whether one can awaken the gourmet cells is also a test of one's qualifications.

Of course Lu Li would be happy to become stronger by eating and thus obtain gourmet cells, but the problem was that because he had already mastered abilities such as life return and hungry ghost realm, he could already digest food relatively efficiently.

He suspected that in this case, even the gourmet cells in the food would be completely digested by him, and the difficulty of obtaining gourmet cells in this way would be greatly increased.

Furthermore, this method often requires a long period of accumulation. If the task is limited to only one month, his chances of success will be reduced again.

So he may need to consider another way to awaken the gourmet cells, which is to directly inject the gourmet cells.

Such technology exists in the International Gourmet Association IGO, and many members have acquired gourmet cells in this way.

However, the disadvantage of this method is obvious. For ordinary people, injecting gourmet cells is a high-risk thing. If they cannot be successfully integrated and absorbed, they will die due to rejection reaction.

Lu Li was no longer an ordinary person before he obtained the gourmet cells. He didn't think he would die from a rejection reaction after the injection of the cells, so he thought he could go to IGO and give it a try.

As for the procedures and funds required for the injection there, Lu Li had not considered it. Anyway, his strength was still very strong for the Earth in this world, and it was not difficult for him to obtain high-end ingredients to make money.

After thinking about how to complete this main task, Lu Li continued to browse.

[Team Mission: The Vast Universe]

Mission content: The world of Food Hunter is vast and boundless, and the food styles of the five-color universe are different. Team members need to taste the food of the five universes to appreciate the diversity of this world.

During their stay in this world, all members of the Death Adventure Group must have tasted at least one delicacy from each of the five-color universes before they can complete the mission.

Mission Difficulty: Difficult ~ Nightmare
Mission Reward: Adventure Group Level Promotion
Failure penalty: None
This is a team mission that every world has. The fact that there is no penalty for failure does not mean that this mission is very fatal, because the space does not seem to pay much attention to whether the adventure team can level up or not. It is a mission that the adventure team can do if they want to, and not do if they don't want to. After all, just like him and Aizen, there are many people who act in small teams. There are only a few people in an adventure team. Team upgrades have little impact on them except for updating better team skills. After all, they don't need to expand.

Lu Li confirmed that there were no other tasks for the time being, so he closed the menu and looked at Xia Ren, "Where's your task?"

"My mission is to collect as much delicious food as possible. As long as Boss Lu assigns me tasks after hunting, that's fine."

Xia Ren and Lu Li have become somewhat familiar with each other. Although he addresses Lu Li with respect, he no longer stumbles when speaking. "It's just like mining. Boss Lu should know the process of mining, right?"

Lu Li was speechless for a moment, because although he had been a bodyguard for Chu Chu in the world, he had never paid attention to how the other party mined.

"Please explain it briefly."

Lu Li didn't feel embarrassed and asked directly.

"We, the food supporters, are similar to those responsible for mining. There is a special mechanism in our imprint. After I process the ingredients, I can use the imprint to store them. The imprint has no upper limit and belongs to the space. As long as the storage is successful, it is considered to be collected."

Xia Ren explained, "After returning to the space, the space will give me 1% of the gourmet ingredients based on the amount collected."

Lu Li looked strange after hearing this, "Doesn't this mean we have to kneel down to collect the food?"

The supporters work very hard in the world, but in the end, all the ingredients go to the boss. They only get 1% of the ingredients. Once the space sells those ingredients in the mall, it is still unknown how much they will earn.

"That's not true. Without the space, some rare ingredients would be beyond the reach of our supporters."

Xia Ren had no problem with the space and was very calm. "It's an opportunity to enter the world to collect food, but this world is too dangerous, so I need to find Boss Lu to accompany me."

"Oh? In that case, there should be other gourmet supporters entering this world, right? Don't you supporters usually act in groups?"

Lu Li came to his senses and felt that Xia Ren’s mission mechanism was somewhat different from what he had known before.

"Boss Lu, you should also know that opening a restaurant in the space is not profitable. Even if some restaurants are very large, they can't make much money because the dishes are cheap, so there are very few supporters of gourmet food."

Shrimp explained, her face rarely glowing with confidence when she mentioned this, "In the End Space, at present, I am the only food supporter who meets the requirements and has the technology to process ingredients in this world."

Lu Li suddenly realized that being a chef didn't make money, so the supporters didn't do this job.

Even if those big stores seem to be doing good business, the bosses' cooking skills may not be very high, and their life skill levels are not up to standard. To use an analogy with mining, they cannot handle special ingredients, so they will not be selected by the space.

With that being said, Lu Li felt that Xia Ren was indeed a genius, just a little bit weird like Chu Chu, as both of them had their talents in strange places.

One of them clearly had a great talent for forging, but he wanted to make a top-quality bed, and the other one had thousands of options among his supporters, but he chose to be a cook.

The cooking skills of Shrimp have probably reached the pinnacle, but he has no fighting power, and the level of his supporters is not high, so he cannot get excellent ingredients.

Moreover, Lu Li can see a person's true nature. Xia Ren and Chu Chu's purpose is not to make money in the space, so this situation has arisen.

Shrimp really enjoys cooking and making delicious food. Making money is secondary, which is why she is so poor in the space.

"I see. Anyway, it's what I left over. Give me space, right?"

Lu Li said in summary.

Xia Ren was stunned for a moment, and for a moment she couldn't get over Lu Li's overbearing thinking. After a few seconds, she came back to her senses and nodded, "That's probably what it means."

"So what are you waiting for? Let's start our food tour."

Lu Li said with a smile that he had just sensed that they were in a gourmet ecological zone in the human world, and there were many strange and ferocious beasts in the primeval forest.

Including the giant snake he had just killed, it was not an ordinary python. He had never seen it in the illustrations of the original book, but if you look closely at this snake, you will find that it looks very strange.

Because its cross-section was not the flesh and blood that Lu Li had imagined, but a cream cake. He really had no idea what its structure was, and how it was digested after eating to become like this.

If you remove the middle part and cut it into sections, it will look like a giant Swiss roll.

After getting over his initial panic, Shrimp calmed down and began to study the Swiss roll snake.

She took out a kitchen knife from the storage space and, with a knife skill that even Lu Li found strange, she accurately cut through the internal patterns of the snake. It was as if some kind of switch had been triggered, and the snake automatically separated inside and out.

The spinal column digestive organs in the middle separated from the Swiss roll on the outside, and with the help of gravity, the spine was naturally pulled out and fell from the tree, leaving only a huge Swiss roll strip hanging on the trunk.

Then, she touched the seaweed-like skin of the giant python with the knife in her hand, and the giant python actually separated into pieces and turned into a ring-shaped Swiss roll.

All this happened extremely quickly. Lu Li could see from his eyes that the shrimp seemed to be able to find the points of the ingredients, so he only needed very little effort to disassemble the ingredients. In his opinion, this was also a kind of wisdom of Tao.

"Boss Lu, all right. This creature will secrete a special cream in its esophagus. When it is just separated, the friction between the membrane and the cream will produce a sweet fruity smell. This smell will gradually fade away, so now is the best time to taste it."

Shrimp is indeed a professional. Even though she doesn't recognize the giant python in front of her, she can immediately see through the essence of the ingredients.

After being invited, Lu Li walked forward and held up a huge Swiss roll. He raised his head and opened his huge mouth in front of the shocked gaze of the shrimp.

When Lu Li was eating, the hungry ghost ability behind him was working, as if there was an invisible evil ghost feasting on him from behind.

Lu Li opened his mouth as wide as possible, but it was still too small compared to the Swiss roll that was bigger than him. However, he ate it very quickly. In addition, the cream on the Swiss roll almost melted in his mouth and was very addictive.

As a result, Lu Li swallowed it in less than 10 seconds, and licked the cream on his lips with his tongue.
