Chapter 834 Lu Li: Is the product not pure enough?

"Brother Lu, how is it?"

Mansam looked at Lu Li nervously. Although he didn't think Lu Li would die from an injection of gourmet cells, he felt that if there was a serious rejection reaction, Lu Li would not be completely fine.

What's more, Lu Li just injected the gourmet cells directly into the spine, which is the most dangerous injection method. If the gourmet cells can be fused, this method will be the most efficient, but if it fails, the result will basically be instant death.

"Let me feel it again."

Lu Li said with a serious expression.

Seeing Lu Li so serious, Mansam didn't dare to say anything. He gestured for everyone else to stay away from the area because he was afraid that Lu Li would lose control of his pain and cause damage.

In fact, the reason why Lu Li had such a serious expression was not because the gourmet cells in his body began to have an immune reaction and mess around, but because he felt that these gourmet cells that were good at devouring and growing were in turn devoured and absorbed by his body.

This was not a fusion, but an absorption of a high level by a low level. Because it was a spinal injection, the gourmet cells quickly spread throughout Lu Li's body through hematopoiesis and blood circulation.

But precisely because it was broken down into pieces, it completely became zero and was suppressed and absorbed by Lu Li's flesh and blood.

The result of this injection seemed to have no change. Lu Li opened the menu bar to check his own status and found that there was only a fleeting record of the injection, but then that status disappeared.

Lu Li fell silent. He suddenly realized that it was not an easy task for him to obtain the gourmet cells and complete the first part of the main mission.

If he had not entered as part of a team, he would probably be sent back if he failed in the first stage of the main mission. But even if he benefited from other people's help, Lu Li would not allow his overall attributes to drop.

This has nothing to do with whether he can recover or not. It’s simply because he can’t accept failing in such a matter.

Lu Li thought about it, and stretched his muscles under Director Mansam's nervous gaze, "Director Mansam, is your stuff not pure enough? It's boring."

This was the conclusion Lu Li came to. He felt that the gourmet cells were not ineffective on him, and his body did not actually have a rejection reaction to the gourmet cells. Perhaps it was because he had mastered the high-end skills of absorbing nutrients from food, and his body had subtly changed into a state with the properties of gourmet cells.

However, in terms of absorption and growth, it is naturally not as direct as the gourmet cells, so Lu Li still needs to find a way to obtain the gourmet cells.

Since there was no obvious rejection reaction, it was just because too few gourmet cells were directly absorbed. Lu Li felt that he needed to increase the dosage of the injection until the quantitative change led to a qualitative change, and perhaps he could obtain a new gourmet bloodline.

This way of reasoning is very crude, but Lu Li asked Sosuke, a researcher, in the group chat, and Sosuke said that he could try it and the theory is feasible.

By the way, Aizen also received a task related to gourmet cells, but it was very easy for him to complete this task because in the universe where he was and the planet where he landed, the food culture was also very prosperous, so it was not difficult to obtain gourmet cells.

Moreover, he had confirmed that he was not like Lu Li who could devour the gourmet cells, so the inoculation process should be smooth, but it would also require a certain amount, or he could simply complete the task by eating normally.

At this moment, Director Mansam had a strange expression when he heard Lu Li's words, "Brother Lu, stop joking. This is an injection produced by the headquarters. It is the purest gourmet cell on the market. I don't know how many young men who dream of becoming stronger have died from this injection. It's ok that you didn't react after you injected it, but you still say it's impure?"

"I feel that the gourmet cells are still useful to me, but the effect is not very strong. I think it is because the amount of cells is small."

Lu Li said, "Handsome Director Mansam, can you give me a few more shots?"

Mansam was of course happy to be called a handsome guy, but Lu Li's request was a bit embarrassing. "Brother Lu, what do you think of the gourmet cell injection? It is not something that can be supplied unlimitedly. I just used my authority to transfer one as a gift to you, but I am not the only one who opened the IGO."

Lu Li knew that his request seemed a bit excessive, and Director Mansam's words did not block the way. To put it simply, if Lu Li wanted to continue to obtain the gourmet cell injection, he would have to work for IGO.

After thinking for a while, Lu Li said, "Director, let's be frank. I am very interested in the ability of gourmet cells and I hope to obtain this power. I will not waste IGO's resources. I can do whatever you need me to do, but I need a large amount of gourmet cell injections."

Mansam didn't expect Lu Li to be so straightforward, but he was also a generous person. He waved his hand and slammed it on the table, shaking the room three times. "It's settled!"

Seeing that Mansam agreed so generously, Lu Li knew that he might be manipulated by this seemingly simple-minded man, and the other party was probably waiting for him to say this.

But since Lu Li was not prepared to resort to violence to rob, he would eventually have to go this far. Anyway, he still had to accompany Xia Ren to collect ingredients, and he also wanted to explore this magical world full of delicious food. So he didn't care whether he had to help IGO or not, it was all a side job.

"So nice to work with."

Lu Li stretched out his hand and shook hands with Mansam, officially announcing his cooperation with IGO.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Mansam stopped being polite and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, to be honest, there are indeed many things that need a strong man like you to do right now."

"I heard that there are four food kings under IGO? Can't they meet the mission requirements of IGO?"

Lu Li asked curiously, which was also a way to further confirm the time point of this world. After all, the space did not provide much time information when it descended this time.

"You mean Alu and the others? It seems that these guys are really famous. Even a newcomer like Brother Lu has heard of them."

Mansam sighed, "But those guys are still too young. I don't mean in terms of age, but their strength is not yet mature. It may be dangerous and troublesome for them to deal with some things."

"I see. So what do you want me to do?"

Lu Li nodded, and roughly understood his own time node. A Lu and the others were probably still at the stage where they were only known as the Four Heavenly Kings, but they were not strong enough to deal with a beast of more than level 20.

Strictly speaking, Lu Li felt that this should not be considered a problem with the setting of the work. After all, the Four Heavenly Kings of Gourmet were talents cultivated by IGO, and IGO was the largest power organization in the world. As long as the Four Heavenly Kings had any good results, they would probably publicize them, and naturally they would become famous.

And taking the protagonist A Lu for example, although his combat power had not expanded in the early stage, he discovered many new ingredients and made a lot of contributions to the era of great gourmet food, which made the world admire him very much.

Although the power system of this comic will become more and more expanded later, A Lu's pursuit has never been to become stronger, but to eat delicious food. Becoming stronger is just a way to achieve the goal, not the purpose. Lu Li himself is the opposite. Becoming stronger is his goal, and eating is just a process. Of course, he also enjoys this process. After all, no one hates delicious food.

"In fact, we want to obtain a rare ingredient recently. It is the Ligaru mammoth, which is known as the ancient food treasure. Its body breeds a concentrated essence called gem meat. I hope Brother Lu can help IGO get it."

Director Mansam said that this was actually an exploratory mission, and he could certainly handle it himself, but as the director of the Food Research Institute, he couldn't do everything himself.

Now that Lu Li has joined IGO and is willing to help them after the deal is reached, he will naturally find a way to trouble this high-end combat force.

"no problem."

Lu Li nodded and did not ask what the Ligaru mammoth was, because he also knew about this creature in the original book.

When the Ligaru mammoth reaches a certain age, somewhere inside its body a delicious gem meat that combines all the parts of the body will grow.

It has absolutely no fishy smell and combines the delicious taste and texture of all the meat in the body, including tenderloin, loin, brisket, heart and liver. This is an ancient food treasure. Anyone with a gourmet cell will benefit greatly from eating it. Even if they are already very strong, they will feel comfortable all over.

At this moment, Xia Ren's eyes were already shining. Her interest in the food was even stronger than Lu Li's. If she was not weak enough, she would have been unable to sit still and started exploring on her own.

"Brother Lu is really straightforward. Come back with me to the first ecological zone."

Mansam laughed heartily, being very happy to have recruited a tough guy like Lu Li.

He heard that the Gourmet Club seemed to be eyeing the Gem Meat recently, and originally wanted to summon the Four Heavenly Kings to do this, but now with Lu Li, it would naturally be more convenient and quicker.

"Boss Lu, your mushrooms are so delicious~"

Shrimp now had one hand on the side of his face, his eyes blurred as he swallowed the mushroom, making muffled sounds and praising it profusely.

As a cook, she herself was the first to fall into a state of confusion, mainly because the mushrooms that Lu Li found were too delicious.

"Hao Chi!"

Lu Li didn't bother to communicate with the shrimp and kept stuffing mushrooms into his mouth. This is a kind of ingredient called sirloin mushroom.

It mainly grows in the humid mushroom forests in the first ecological zone. When this mushroom is cut horizontally, the cross section looks like a steak. It only needs to be slightly fried to give off the aroma of beef tenderloin.

Paired with the secret seasoning of shrimp, just dip it a little and put it in your mouth, the aroma of mushrooms and beef, along with the seasoning of the sauce, will explode in your mouth at the same time, making you unable to stop.

Lu Li had previously taken on the task assigned by Director Mansam and came to the first ecological zone. After completing the disinfection process, he and Xia Ren entered this huge "island" together, eating as they went.

Lu Li was not in a hurry to look for the Ligaru mammoth. That thing was a big target and could not escape. Moreover, his divine sense always covered the island. If anyone from the Gourmet Club or other explorers broke in, he would know at any time.

So he simply started collecting food illustrations and helped Xia Ren collect various gourmet ingredients.

Director Mansam said that as long as he could bring back gem meat, he could eat anything on the island.

Of course, Lu Li was not so unethical. He would not take too much of any ingredient to avoid affecting the local ecological environment. Apart from the fact that he ate some himself, the amount of shrimp he took was not very large.

Shrimp said that what is important is the variety. Unlike mining, what they, the food supporters, pursue is not just quantity, but to enrich the variety. Every time they collect a new ingredient, the degree of completion of the task given to her by the space will be higher.

On the contrary, if she only collects one kind of ingredient, she will not be able to complete the task unless the level of that ingredient is very high.

Lu Li and Xia Ren have collected hundreds of ingredients along the way, but unfortunately, their levels are not high.

The shrimps were quite satisfying, but Lu Li discovered that there were no particularly useful individual bonuses in his food atlas.

Currently, the ingredient with the highest bonus is a type of food called Yaki snail. This type of snail has a ferocious temperament, but its meat is very delicious. When it is made into baked snails with shrimps, the taste is so delicious that it melts in the mouth. The aroma of the mixture of fat and collagen lingers in the mouth for a long time. Lu Li still drools when he thinks about it.

After this ingredient is added to his Gourmet Collector's Medal, it can provide him with a 1% force unloading bonus. It seems very little, but the other things Lu Li has eaten have single-item bonuses of a few tenths of a percent, or even a few tenths of a percent.

It can be seen that this food medal is also very picky. If he wants to get a high bonus, he must hunt higher-level food.

After Lu Li and Xia Ren had been hiking for two days, they finally ate all kinds of food on the island, which made Lu Li quite satisfied.

But it’s not accurate to say it was them, because she was very eatable at first, but later she couldn’t eat any more shrimps, meaning that her stomach was already full and she couldn’t digest them at all.

This is related to physical constitution. The comprehensive attributes of shrimp are just like those of an ordinary person in this world. Of course, it is impossible for him to have a stomach like a bottomless pit.

Lu Li is different. His energy consumption is extremely high. If he gives up absorbing and releasing energy between heaven and earth, his individual energy consumption will be at the planetary level. Converted into food calories, it will be an astronomical figure. Therefore, he can eat as much of these lower-level ingredients as he can, and all of them can be absorbed by the hungry ghost realm.

But now he was basically just satisfying his appetite. Although these ingredients were delicious, their quality was not very high. According to the standards of this space, the sirloin mushrooms he had eaten before were probably epic ingredients.

The ingredients of Yamata snail are of higher end, and are at the holy relic level in terms of space rating. If it is cooked with shrimps, combined with other special ingredients in the space, it can make a dish that can improve the strength of a fifth-level explorer to a certain extent, or provide temporary benefits.
