Chapter 835: The Useless Elephant

Chapter 835: The Useless Elephant
Lu Li felt that with his current physical condition, if he wanted to see some effect from the food he ate, it would have to be at least fairy-level ingredients.

I don’t know whether the gem meat in the Ligaru mammoth on this trip can meet this standard.

By the way, Lu Li had discovered one thing when he was eating and drinking on the island, that is, the preciousness of the ingredients and the space's rating of them are not directly linked to the capture level.

Simply put, some creatures are not captured at a high level, but their meat is sold at a high price in the market, while some creatures are captured at a high level, but their meat is worthless.

In other words, powerful creatures are not necessarily delicious, and relatively easy-to-obtain ingredients are not necessarily rated low in space.

As an ancient food treasure, the capture level of the Ligaru Mammoth may not be very high, only level 48, but the gem meat in its body is definitely a high-end food ingredient and is very beneficial to the growth of gourmet cells.

Drop drop-

The communication device on Lu Li's waist rang. After he answered it, he heard the voice of Director Mansam, "Brother Lu, I just received news that some people have invaded the first ecological zone. I'm afraid they are coming for the gem meat. You need to speed up the progress."

"Don't worry, I'm already in front of the plateau and will be able to succeed soon."

Lu Li knew that Mansam was getting a little anxious, mainly because he had wasted a lot of time eating along the way.

Lu Li knew someone was coming before Mansam reminded him, so he stopped eating and came to Ligaru Plateau.

"Be careful, they might be from the Gourmet Club. If you encounter a fight, don't hold back."

Mansam gave a reminder and then said no more, because he felt there was no need to be too long-winded to a strong man like Lu Li. He just needed to hint that Lu Li could kill people.

Lu Li knew in his heart that these people were not from the Gourmet Society, because the Gourmet Society usually did not act in groups. He also remembered that in the original book, the Gourmet Society planned the Ligaru Mammoth at a later time, and used GT robots for remote control.

In his perception, the people who broke into the first ecological zone were more than 20 people acting in a group. They should be explorers of a certain space.

His strength is not that strong, probably only at the late fourth level. It can be said that ignorance is bliss.

It is easy to imagine the purpose of these explorers, most of them are after gem meat. As for why they don't join IGO through legal means to try to obtain it, this should be related to their main quest or faction choice.

This group of explorers had average strength, but their means of traveling were very impressive. They rode in a flying vehicle that looked like a flying saucer, crossed the island at high speed, and arrived directly at the Ligaru Plateau.

"Oh my god, what a big elephant!"

An explorer said in amazement after walking out of the hatch, then picked up a rifle-like device and prepared to shoot at the Ligaru mammoth, but was held down by the person next to him.

"Crazy? Don't you see how big this thing is? If it gets mad and steps on you, can you survive?"

The person who spoke was the leader of this adventure group. They were a fourth-level adventure group from the Tiandao Space. They came here to quickly obtain the gem meat and trade with the Food Association.

As for why they chose the Gourmet Club, we can only say that low-level explorers have their own cleverness. After all, the Gourmet Club is in the human world chapter, and its strength is actually stronger, making it easier for them to get some soup.

Besides, the gourmets will do whatever it takes, which is more in line with the general explorer's style of doing things. If they join IGO, they will be subject to too many restrictions.

As for whether they could escape under the nose of Director Mansam after stealing the gem meat, they had corresponding preparations.

At this moment, everyone looked at the giant elephant in front of them that was over 1500 meters tall, and for a moment they felt how insignificant humans were.

In a normal Earth world, these late-stage fourth-order explorers would be powerful enough to not only fly but also destroy cities and blow up streets. However, the gravity here is too high and the world space density is also high, causing them to feel that they are not that strong.

When the think tanks in the team were discussing whether to enter through the elephant's anus, one of them raised his hand tremblingly and pointed forward, "Hey, this elephant seems to have gone crazy!"

The explorers looked up one after another, and then saw a scene that horrified them.

They saw a giant elephant as big as a mountain range rushing towards them. Its momentum was so strong that it seemed it could knock down Mount Buzhou. It was unstoppable.

For a moment, they all realized that their idea of ​​provoking the elephant might be a little optimistic. In the ordinary world, a creature of this size would be enough to make them feel quite troublesome, let alone a giant on a planet 659 times the size of Earth?
The overwhelming power was enough to make a person's body stiff and unable to move at all, and they couldn't even board the flying saucer to escape.

Just when everyone thought they were going to be hit to death, the elephant suddenly braked, and its six legs dug into the ground, plowing out a ravine-like rift, until it stopped sliding, only a kilometer away from everyone.

The elephant stopped and crawled on the ground. Its mountain-like body kept shaking. The ferocious look it had just had disappeared, replaced by fear and anxiety.

"Is this elephant good-looking but useless?"

One of the explorers came back to his senses, his back soaked with sweat, and saw the elephant lying down. He thought that the elephant was frightened by their power.

"No...you...look quickly."

The other person shook his head and pointed in a direction with trembling hands.

Because the Ligaru mammoth was so huge that it occupied most of the human field of vision, they all paid attention to the elephant first. Only when the elephant stopped did people have the mind to observe other places, that is, the ground.

One kilometer away, where the Ligaru mammoth stopped, stood a man and a woman.

The elephant stopped just in front of them. The man raised his hand and touched the elephant's hair, causing the elephant to shake three times again and roll over on the spot, exposing its belly.

If this scene happened to a small animal, such as a cat, it would not seem like a big deal and would even be cute, but with such a huge elephant, the scene would look quite weird.

Just a roll caused the earth to shake and the topography to change. Its heavy body pressed a basin on the ground.

"It's this big, it should take a while to eat."

The man in white stood there, seemingly contemplating how to deal with the elephant.

The elephant seemed to have a certain degree of intelligence. After hearing Lu Li's words, it immediately shook its trunk, meaning to beg for mercy.

When the explorers behind saw this scene, they immediately understood that the elephant suddenly started to charge because it sensed a threat. The threat did not come from them, but from the man in white.

The elephant braked suddenly because after getting closer, it suddenly realized how terrifying the creature in front of it was. It was so terrifying that it didn't dare to resist, so it could only surrender and turn over.

For a moment, the explorers who understood the whole story broke out in cold sweat and stood there, not daring to move.

It goes without saying that the man in white, who they had not seen in the original novel, must be a big shot in the space, and a man of this strength could not have failed to discover them. "Boss Lu, Boss Lu, this elephant meat is not delicious. The most essential part is only the gem meat. There is no need to hurt its life. Besides, didn't the director also say that he only wanted the gem meat?"

Xia Ren persuaded Lu Li beside him, her legs trembling slightly at this time, mainly because when the elephant charged at her just now, she had never seen such power before, and it had a great impact on her both visually and psychologically, causing her to almost lose control of her physiological phenomena.

"I was just joking."

Lu Li said, looking up at the elephant, "I will only take the gem meat from your body, so be good."

Upon hearing this, the elephant shook its trunk up and down to show its agreement.

The way Lu Li took the meat next shocked the explorers. He just hooked his finger and a piece of gem meat flew out of the elephant's trunk. The principle and technique were completely incomprehensible.

In fact, Lu Li used his outstanding spiritual perception to determine the location of the gem meat, and then used his soul to cut it directly from the inside and pulled it out with gravity.

The jeweled meat blooms with dazzling brilliance under the sun, which is intoxicating. The meat oil dripping from it is as clear as pure water, emitting a fascinating aroma in the air.

Just the breath rushing into his nasal cavity made Lu Li's Adam's apple roll uncontrollably. When he got the gem meat and took a look at it, he found that although it was not a fairy-level ingredient, it was also a mythical-level ingredient with a full score, which was quite good.

Shrimp had no resistance to this legendary ingredient, and quickly used the ability of the gourmet profession to protect the huge gem meat, and stared at Lu Li like a puppy protecting food, "Boss Lu, remember to save some."

Lu Li wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't you still believe me? Don't worry, I will definitely leave enough for you to collect."

"And Director Mansam's mission..."

Shrimp said helplessly, thinking that after coming to this world, Boss Lu's foodie nature seemed to be completely activated, and he had almost no self-control when it came to delicious food.

"Yes, I'll leave some for him."

As Lu Li spoke, he couldn't wait to use his palm like a knife to cut off a piece.

This piece of gem meat was shiny, and even though Lu Li cut it thickly, sunlight could still pass through it, giving it a crystal-like texture.

It is said that high-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods. Lu Li felt that the ingredients in front of him did not need to be cooked at all and were delicious when eaten directly, so he stuffed them directly into his mouth.

Some parts of the gem meat melt in your mouth, while some parts have an amazing chewiness. It is the essence accumulated over hundreds of years. The aroma of the fat is rich but not greasy, making every cell in your body cheer with comfort.

Lu Li still had some self-control. After tasting a piece of gem meat, he patted the terrified elephant in front of him and said, "Let's go. Don't let your child get caught."

He knew that when the elephant rushed towards him just now, it had already realized that he was dangerous, but it still charged because it wanted to protect its children, and there was a baby elephant behind it.

It's just that Lu Li's power was too terrifying. He just released a little bit of it on the elephant, but it caused its mental collapse.

Lu Li used gravity manipulation to suspend the Gem Meat next to him, and looked at the explorers as he and Shrimp turned around.

The explorers' legs were shaking, and some of the smart ones had already knelt down, "Boss, I'll pay the protection fee!"

"Go away on your own."

Lu Li waved his hand. It was not that he had changed his personality, but the protection fees these explorers could pay were not enough for Ah Huo's pocket money. He was not a bloodthirsty person and had no interest in bullying low-level explorers who had not provoked him.

It was not until Lu Li and Xia Ren left the Ligaru Plateau that this group of explorers knelt down with weak legs and began to breathe heavily.

The core members of the team looked at each other and said, "How about... we go find a class to attend?"

When they first entered this world, they met such a powerful tycoon. In an instant, they realized the danger of this world and no longer dared to use clever tricks.

…………

"Hahaha... As expected of you, Brother Lu. This elephant can't faze you at all."

Director Mansam was very happy when he saw the huge gem meat that Lu Li brought back. Although he found that the gem meat seemed to be cut in half, he didn't care at all.

After all, before he hired someone to do the work, he told Lu Li that he could eat whatever he wanted along the way. Faced with such tempting food, the other party was already restrained by not letting him eat it all.

In fact, Lu Li only ate a small half and left the rest to the shrimps, asking them to hand it in to the space to complete the task.

"Director Mansam, you can actually give me some more difficult tasks. Of course, I also need more gourmet cell injections."

Lu Li said, "There is no need to settle this time. I hope IGO can help me prepare enough purified gourmet cells and give them to me all at once."

"Oh? Brother Lu, how much do you want? Give me an exact number."

Director Mansam was also very curious. He didn't know why Lu Li was so obsessed with gourmet cells when he was already so strong.

After all, even if one doesn't have a gourmet taste, one can still enjoy the delicious food. In his opinion, Lu Li is not lacking in strength.

"If we calculate based on the amount of gourmet cells in the injection last time, let me think... let's start with one million doses."

As soon as Lu Li opened his mouth, Mansam's eyes widened.

Xia Ren also gently pulled Lu Li's sleeve and said, "Brother Li, is this a bit..."

"One million copies...Brother Lu, are you kidding me?"

Director Mansam looked helpless. "This is not Chinese cabbage. To purify gourmet cells, we need to extract them from high-end ingredients that retain their activity. Take this gem meat as an example. If we use it to purify gourmet cells, we can only extract a few hundred."

Lu Li was a little surprised. He thought IGO's technology was very mature, but he didn't expect the conditions to be so harsh. "Then... 500,000 copies?"

"One hundred thousand copies at most."

Mansam said seriously, "It's impossible to have more. To be honest, because the usage rate of the gourmet cell injection is very low, our IGO's current reserve is no more than 100."
