Chapter 836 Scared Apple

Chapter 836 Scared Apple
Lu Li probably understood the difficulties of IGO. Even if he was very powerful, it was unrealistic to squeeze out so many benefits before bringing high output to the association.

Considering the cost, he would have to find at least a few hundred more gem meat to make up for IGO's shortfall. This was an astronomical figure. Even if IGO was big and powerful and was willing to befriend and cultivate him, they would not be able to help him for free.

Lu Li thought for a moment and said, "I understand. One hundred thousand is one hundred thousand. Don't worry, I will help IGO find enough ingredients. Director Mansam, please ask someone to start making injectable gourmet cells."

Mansam still felt very strange. He really didn't know how Lu Li would inject 100,000 gourmet cells. He couldn't even imagine how thick the syringe would be if those things were stacked up.

But he still nodded, "Okay, as long as Brother Lu can bring enough valuable ingredients to IGO, I can help you purify it first."

After the two of them finalized the matter, the next step was the usual celebration session in the Food World. Mansam cordially invited Lu Li to stay for dinner before leaving.

In the huge restaurant, the diameter of the table alone was one hundred meters, and all kinds of delicacies from land and sea were placed on it, making Lu Li's eyes widen.

And Xia Ren has taken out a small notebook and is constantly recording various cuisines. He will also communicate with the chef who serves the dishes.

Although her cooking skills are already superb, she never stops learning, and communicating with her peers can give her more inspiration.

"Brother Lu, let me introduce him to you. You must have heard of him before. This is A Lu, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Gourmet Food. He is a leader among the young gourmet hunters."

At the dining table, Mansam introduced Lu Li to another person he had invited. He was extremely strong, over two meters tall, had blue hair, and had three scars under his eyes. He was the original protagonist of this world, A'lu.

"Alu, this is Lu Li, a food hunter who just joined IGO. Even though he is not famous yet, his strength is so impressive that even I have to admire him."

Mansam introduced Lu Li to Alu again, "Today's main dish, the gem meat, is what Brother Lu just caught."

"Is there any gem meat I can eat today!?"

Ah Lu's attention was always on the food. When he heard about the gem meat, he immediately drooled. However, he was not a person who did not know manners, so he quickly restrained himself and looked at Lu Li seriously, "It's an honor to meet you. The Four Heavenly Kings of Food are just a compliment. Let's communicate more in the future."

"Please give me your advice. Let's eat first."

Lu Li shook hands with A'lu, and then couldn't wait to take his seat.

Seeing that Lu Li was so straightforward, A Lu didn't hesitate any longer and sat down directly. He stood on Lu Li's left and right and started to eat everything in a whirlwind.

What surprised Lu Li was that he found that A'lu's eating speed was not slower than his own. It can only be said that his strong gourmet cells can absorb food faster than other methods.

Lu Li is able to eat and digest food quickly mainly because of his strong foundation, coupled with the Hungry Ghost Realm and Life Return, but A Lu relies purely on his gourmet cells.

However, after careful observation, Lu Li discovered that in terms of A'lu's current strength, his complete conversion rate of food energy was actually not as good as his own. After all, Lu Li's basic level was too high.

Although the A Lu can absorb food quickly, there will still be some loss, in layman's terms, it has to poop.

Lu Li remembered that in the original novel, A'lu weighed 230 kilograms, and he could lose 15 kilograms by taking a shit.

Of course, A Lu's energy utilization rate is already very high, because he may eat dozens of tons of food in one meal, and if there are only 15 kilograms of residue in the end, the conversion rate is very impressive.

They chatted a little at the dinner table. It turned out that Alu brought Xiaosong here for a visit. He also wanted to go to the ecological zone to see the legendary gem meat, but Lu Li got there first.

Director Mansam took out the gem meat to treat them today, which made A Lu very happy. He threatened that he would find more rare and delicious food in the future and invite Lu Li to eat it.

Lu Li and A Lu chatted while eating, their stomachs were like bottomless pits, while Xia Ren communicated with Xiao Song and shared their cooking experiences with each other.

The meal was very pleasant. A'lu had a straightforward personality and was a foodie, so he got along very well with Lu Li. After the meal, they even exchanged contact information and said that they would share delicious food with each other in the future.

It can only be said that Alu, as the protagonist, has a vision. He becomes stronger not only to enjoy eating, but also to discover more delicious ingredients to share with the world so that everyone can feel the charm of food.

After dinner, Lu Li left the Food Research Institute with the shrimp and started to be a good worker.

“捕猎等级35级的BB玉米、捕猎等级68的空气水、捕获等级45的蒜头鸟、捕获等级37的独行灰熊、捕获等级30的漆黑米、捕获等级47的蜜蜡烛、捕获等级50的鸟兽虎鸡的蛋、捕获等级74的罗勒咯咯……”

IGO's food inventory person was sweating as he read out a series of rare food names, "... the captured level of the Styracosaurus cannot be determined, and the flying shark cannot be determined either..."

As he read to the end, his hands were shaking as he held the list. This was mainly because those ingredients were all legendary ingredients from the food world, and their capture levels could not be easily determined by the existing rules set by the IGO.

Only after he finished reading all the lists did he wipe the sweat from his forehead and respectfully bowed to Lu Li in front of him, "Mr. Lu, we have counted everything correctly. Thank you for your contribution to the Gourmet Era."

At this time, Director Mansam also rushed over after hearing the news. Looking at the various rare delicacies that were still being stored in the warehouse, his eyes widened, "Brother Lu, the ones in the front are fine, but these ingredients in the back, could it be that you went to the food world?"

He himself is also an expert who can move around in the food world, so he is more aware of the dangers there, and seeing that Lu Li was unharmed and collected so many ingredients so efficiently, it is clear how strong he is.

However, Mansam felt that he still had to remind the fearless Lu Li not to accidentally enter the territory of the Eight Kings in the future.

"Oh, I summarized my experience before. I feel that it's a bit slow to find high-quality ingredients in the human world. And Director Mansam, didn't you also say before that it's best to use high-grade ingredients to extract gourmet cells, so I went to the gourmet world to play."

Lu Li explained with a smile, "The air over there is quite fresh, and the food is quite delicious."

Because of his previous experience of encountering explorers on Ligaru Island, Lu Li realized that the explorers in this world were also not slow, and there were also many low-key expert explorers in the human world who were operating in secret.

Furthermore, I’m afraid not all people landed on Earth. Referring to Sosuke, it is estimated that many masters landed in other places in the universe.

But for some special ingredients, the strong men are probably trying to gather towards the earth, so he must speed up and complete the first part of the main task as soon as possible to avoid other accidents later.

You have to know that the upper limit of entering this world is the seventh level peak. With Lu Li's current strength, it is easy for him to fight against people with over 200 attributes, but if he encounters a seventh level peak explorer with 210 points, he will be under great pressure.

So he wanted to improve his strength as quickly as possible. To this end, he had been resisting his appetite recently and collecting ingredients efficiently, instead of cooking and gobbling up shrimps every time after a fight.

Therefore, he has achieved fruitful results in the past half month. According to the standards set by Mansam at the beginning, his contribution to IGO should be enough to exchange for 100,000 gourmet cell injections.

However, the productivity of the IGO research department is limited and it is not ready for itself yet.

"I really don't know what to say, Brother Lu. Your strength is far beyond my initial imagination. I thought it would be a long-term cooperation, but who knew it would happen so soon." Mansam said with some shame, "The gourmet cells you want are not ready yet. It will probably take another two days. Before that, there is something I want to trouble you with, Brother Lu."

"You said."

Lu Li nodded. IGO also needed to make money. The food he sent was enough for them to extract gourmet cells, but after the exchange, IGO didn't actually get much benefit. Lu Li was free anyway, so it wouldn't be a big deal to help them do something.

"It's like this. Recently, the Fright Apples have matured in one of IGO's parks. It coincides with the Food Summit, and a chef from IGO wants to make a special fruit salad with Fright Apples. However, the quality of the Fright Apples available on the market is not high enough to meet her needs."

Director Mansam explained simply, "So I hope Brother Lu can help us get a Scare Apple with a Scare Level of 80 or above."

Lu Li was a little puzzled when he heard this, "I remember picking the frightened apples, which has nothing to do with combat power, right? Do I need to do this?"

Mansam hesitated to speak, thought for a moment, and finally changed his words to a more tactful way. "I think that in the IGO, apart from Zebra who is still going through the procedures for being released from prison, you, Brother Lu, are the most capable person to do this."

Lu Li had a strange expression on his face. He seemed to have heard the other party's hidden meaning. Did he think he was scary?
But he has the Mask of the Evil God, which should have some scaring effect, perhaps even a level 50 or 60 scaring apple.

"I can try, but I can't guarantee that I can produce the kind of scared apples that meet the requirements."

Lu Li said that he felt that besides his slightly low charm and the mask of the evil god, he was not good at scaring people, so he had little confidence in this mission.

After leaving IGO, Lu Li asked Xia Ren on the way, "You are more familiar with the characteristics of ingredients. What do you think, how can I harvest a good-quality scared apple?"

On the private plane, Xia Ren prepared a dessert and placed it in front of Lu Li. Hearing this, he said a little nervously, "I think... Boss Lu, you should be more restrained."

Lu Li didn't understand what Xia Ren meant, and thought to himself, if he restrained himself, how could he scare Apple?
…………

Two days later, after Lu Li sent Ah Huo into the food world for training, he and Xia Ren came to the Fright Island, where the Fright apples were grown as mentioned by President Mansam.

Because IGO is in urgent need of high-level Scare Apples this time, the island has been opened to the public, and all masters can come here to try.

Since high-grade scare apples are priced ridiculously high on the market, many ordinary people try it, hoping to make a fortune.

Lu Li was also in the park and saw familiar figures, including A'lu and Xiaosong. When Lu Li came over, he just saw A'lu using his nail fist to scare Apple, but unfortunately he was only level 27.

"Shrimp, you know more about ingredients, you try it first."

Lu Li suggested.

"Shall I...shall I come?"

Xia Ren held one hand naturally, and held her arm with the other hand, supporting her huge weight with her arm. Facing Lu Li's suggestion, she seemed a little unconfident.

But as a chef's duty, she decided to give it a try. She approached a frightened apple, raised her arms, and leaned forward. The heavy mountain range sank instantly, blocking the apple's view.

Then she made claws with her hands, pretending to be a ferocious beast, "Ah Wu——"

She made what she thought was a threatening sound and bared her teeth to make herself look fierce.

Looking at the frightened apple again, the expression on its face looked like it was sleepy. It looked at the shrimp for a long time, but its emotion remained very stable. It was not frightened at all, and from its appearance it seemed that its fear level had not changed.

Shrimp maintained this posture for half a minute, then she straightened up. She noticed the gazes of passers-by around her, her face turned red to her neck, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"I...I can't do it. You should do it, Boss Lu."

Shrimp was being stared at by everyone, and he didn't know whether it was because of social phobia and shame, or because he had created a reverse record of fright level 0, he felt embarrassed, and he was so anxious that tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

"That being said, I'm not very good at bluffing."

Lu Li said in distress, glancing at a group of people not far away, who had just erupted in cheers and surprise because someone had created an apple with a scare level of 80.

The reason was that a demonic man named Zong Kai (zombie) farted at the scary apple, causing the scariness level to soar to level 80.

In fact, this can already meet IGO's needs, but Lu Li felt it was a bit weird to use apples blasted out by fart to make salad, so he decided to try it himself.

Thinking of this, he walked towards the apple that had just been scared by the shrimp.

As a result, Lu Li had just taken two steps towards the apple and got within two meters when the apple showed a look of fear on its face. The person in charge of the appraisal said that the apple's fear level instantly rose to level 20.

"what?"

Lu Li was a little puzzled, while Xia Ren, who was standing next to him, had an expression of "as expected" on his face.

As Lu Li walked forward, he lifted the restrictions on his own aura and opened up the aura of fear in a small area.

"what--"

The frightened apple immediately began to scream, and its fright level soared to level 50. Looking at its expression, it seemed to be saying, "Don't come over here!"

When Lu Li walked up to the Scared Apple and leaned down to face the Scared Apple, it was roughly estimated that its scariness level had soared to over 70.

The commotion here attracted the attention of people from all walks of life in the park. Even A Lu came over to see what was going on. When he saw it was Lu Li, he found things even more interesting.

Because he was afraid of disturbing Lu Li from scaring the apple, he just quietly explained to Xiaosong and the others: "It is said that the highest scaring level record for this kind of apple is held by President Yilong, who created a record of 95 levels, and some people speculate that to reach level 100, it would probably take a big explosion of the earth to achieve it."

While A'lu was explaining, Lu Li smiled because he was happy to see the apple's level increased.

The next moment, Apple's fear level suddenly soared!
And this rising trend has not stopped yet!
