Chapter 860: Special Techniques to Get Sweet Coke
Chapter 860: Special Techniques to Get Sweet Coke
When Aizen saw this dark little man, even with his temperament, he couldn't help but smile, "Brother Lu, you don't want to say that this is your food demon, right?"
Lu Li looked up and realized how funny such a small thing would look. "Don't underestimate it because it's small. I've already solved the basic problems. I just need to work hard and I'll have my own gourmet devil."
Aizen curiously looked at the black man, or the black monster, a few more times. He felt that this was what the 'Zanpakuto' in Brother Lu's soul looked like. It really matched Brother Lu's temperament.
Since this black man does not have any energy inside and is just a small empty shell, he is like a small figurine and does not emit any power. In fact, he has no self-awareness.
Aizen observed it for a moment, then felt that it had nothing special about it, so he stopped looking at it.
He turned to Lu Li and asked, "Are you still doing the research on the Four Heavenly Kings' gourmet devils?"
"Do it, of course."
Lu Li nodded and said, "Sosuke, you also said that if we understand the characteristics of the food demon, it will be of great benefit to us in using the power of the food demon. Just focus on your research and leave the fighting to me."
Lu Li had already solved his own food demon problem, so naturally there was no reason for him to stay in the starry sky. He used Yomi Hirasaka's ability to bring Aizen directly back to Earth.
"Didn't you go for hypnosis? So soon?"
Xia Ren was a little surprised when she saw Lu Li and Aizen. She thought they would not come back until dawn.
"Things are going relatively smoothly. Could you please make some more midnight snacks?"
Lu Li said with a smile that he wanted to try to see how much effect eating delicious food would have on the structure of the little black devil.
"You have a really strong appetite~"
Shrimp had already packed up her kitchen utensils, but when she heard that Lu Li wanted to have a midnight snack, she immediately set up the stall again, "Wait a minute, I'll serve it right away."
…………
The next day, Aizen continued to train the Four Heavenly Kings in the world of food, while Lu Li set out with the shrimp to look for the ingredients they were interested in.
In the yellow sand, Lu Li used his divine sense to lock onto the location of the food pyramid.
"It's so hot... Boss Lu..."
Shrimp had been fanning herself with her little hands on the way, thinking that if she didn't reach her destination, she would be dried into a shrimp.
On the way here, Lu Li saw the local specialty camel and was very interested in traveling by riding a camel and drinking camel-produced wine, so he rode the camel for a while.
Although these camels are not creatures of high capture level, the camel that produces red wine when the tap on Lu Li's hump is turned on is a rare species, and the red wine tastes pretty good.
The temperature in this death desert can even reach up to 90 degrees. Ordinary people's lungs will be burned just by breathing. Lu Li didn't feel anything, but Xia Ren couldn't stand it.
They had been eating as they walked before, and Lu Li had used spirit particles to construct a heat-insulating layer so that the shrimps would not feel uncomfortable. But now that they had arrived at their destination, Lu Li had just removed the heat-insulating layer and the shrimps could not bear it.
The hot air made her sweat profusely, and her clothes were wet in a few seconds. Then the high temperature evaporated her clothes.
Seeing this, Lu Li immediately broke through the top of the food pyramid and threw the shrimp in first.
As soon as we entered the food pyramid, we immediately felt cooler, but the fatigue from the journey and the dehydration from the heat just now made Shrimp crave the delicacies in the pyramid even more.
Lu Li couldn't wait any longer. He pulled up the exhausted shrimp and said, "Let's go. I can already smell the sweet smell of cola."
He came to the Food Pyramid this time for the drinks in his full meal mission of life.
In fact, in the world of food, Lu Li has already learned that there are drinks with extremely high capture levels, such as ATOM, the drink in the legendary meal of the food god Acacia.
That is the magma that erupted from the third continent, the "Kuraudo Mountains". A large amount of toxins need to be removed before it can be drunk. It is said that after eating it, you will gradually be able to see delicious substances.
As for ATOM, Lu Li had actually drunk it once, but after taking a sip, he found it extremely unpalatable because he had not removed the toxins in it.
He took Xia Ren to see it, but Xia Ren also said that it was not easy to remove toxins with this thing. If she wanted to do it, it would probably take her a day to produce several hundred milliliters.
Lu Li felt unsatisfied after hearing this. Moreover, ever since he developed the gourmet cells, his appetite has been very strong and he wants to eat all day long.
He didn't want his chef to spend the whole day removing toxins from ATOM. Wouldn't he not be able to eat anything good all day?
So he simply changed his mindset and decided to put ATOM aside for the time being, and let Coco do it after she had made some progress in her training.
In addition, he is actually more interested in the sweet cola hidden in the food pyramid than ATOM.
He had given his stored wine to Jiro before because he felt that it was not a good time to drink too much in the current situation. However, it would be a bit unrefreshing not to order drinks while enjoying delicious food.
Moreover, Lu Li likes to drink Coke very much on weekdays and drinks it almost every day in the space, so he is even more interested in this legendary Coke.
"I don't know how many years this pyramid has. The ancient Netero civilization is truly amazing..."
While exploring the pyramid with Lu Li, Xia Ren saw some murals and was impressed by the power of ancient civilization.
Especially since they have read comics, they know that the pyramid is just the top of a giant building. Under the yellow sand, there is actually a super-giant building complex that is as huge as a large country in the world.
Lu Li is very powerful, so he will not encounter any problems when exploring inside the pyramid. He also saw the coffin that Xiaosong opened in the original book.
Out of curiosity about Netero, he also opened it to study it, but this Netero was the Netero from the Red Universe, and its strength was relatively average. After showing its fangs and claws towards Lu Li, it was slapped to death by Lu Li.
Seeing Lu Li squatting on the ground and studying Netero's body, Xia Ren was a little surprised, "Boss Lu?"
“Shrimp…”
Lu Li squatted here and looked at the birdman Netero, "Do you think this thing tastes good?"
Shrimp suddenly felt a chill, rubbed the goose bumps on his arms and took a step back, "Boss Lu, are you kidding me? This is a humanoid creature, can you eat it?"
Lu Li touched his nose in dismay after hearing this. "I was just asking casually. Besides, who said Netero is inedible? I heard from Mr. Jiro that Netero tastes okay before."
Of course, Xia Ren had never seen such a thing in the original part she had read. After hearing this, she shook her head repeatedly, "This thing looks so weird, let's not try it, right?"
She instinctively resisted the idea of dealing with a humanoid intelligent creature, especially since she had just been on the road boasting about the magnificent civilization of Netero.
"Forget it, let's go and have a Coke."
Lu Li stood up and said, "I'll be relying on you to prepare the sweet cola later."
"Why do I feel like my trip here is unnecessary..."
But Shrimp complained quietly.
"What do you mean? How are you redundant? Without an excellent cook to decipher the ancient documents, how am I supposed to know how to make the Salamander Sphinx cry?" Lu Li said puzzledly.
Shrimp looked odd, "Nothing, I'll try my best to help Boss Lu process this special ingredient."
Lu Li didn't care too much and continued to go down with the shrimp. He soon found the Salamander Sphinx.
The so-called sweet cola is actually the tears of the Salamander Sphinx. It is the sweetest at this season of the year, so Lu Li resisted the urge to come over some time ago.
Actually, today might not be the best time, but now that masters are gradually arriving on Earth, Lu Li is afraid that if he is not careful, the Salamander Sphinx will be stolen by other explorers.
His idea was simple. He wanted to catch this Salamander Sphinx, take it back and feed it well. If possible, he even wanted to bring it back to the space.
The Salamander Sphinx looks very 'Egyptian', a bit like a sphinx, except that its face doesn't look very human.
When it saw Lu Li and Xia Ren, its first reaction was to attack. It rushed over and raised its claws, wanting to slap the two of them.
But its claw never landed, mainly because it met Lu Li's eyes when Lu Li looked up.
The next moment, it froze and couldn't move, then it retracted its claws and took several steps back, looking at Lu Li with horror on its face, like a big cat experiencing a stress reaction.
"Why are you so shy, Shrimp? What do you think I should do next to make it cry?"
Lu Li asked. Although he had seen in the original book how Alu and Zebra beat up the Salamander Sphinx, the description of the scene was a bit vague. Besides, it was Xiaosong who was reading the book and giving instructions at the time, which allowed Alu and Zebra to beat the Salamander Sphinx until it cried.
Lu Li was afraid that if he acted too carelessly, he would end up being killed by the Salamander Sphinx, which would be a disaster.
"I... let me see..."
Xia Ren had a strange look on his face. Although he said so, the instructions he gave next made Lu Li feel that they were completely different from the methods in the original book. "Boss Lu, you should smile first..."
Lu Li trusted Xia Ren and did not find it strange. After hearing this, he turned around and smiled brightly, "Is that so?"
Xia Ren looked at him strangely, "Yes, that's it, Boss Lu, turn your head and look at it, then slowly walk towards it."
Lu Li did not doubt him and walked straight towards the Salamander Sphinx. As a result, he saw that the big cat was almost furious and retreated to the corner, ready to retreat.
“Anything else is needed?”
Lu Li inquired.
"I think Boss Lu, you just need to walk over like this. You don't need to suppress yourself too much. You can put yourself in a relaxed and natural state."
Shrimp was instructing.
Lu Li believed what Xia Ren said and relaxed the suppression of his own breath. Then he saw that the Salamander Sphinx seemed to be extremely frightened. When it huddled in the corner, its limbs were still scratching the wall, as if it could escape this way.
When Lu Li took another step, the frequency of the Shalamander Sphinx's body shaking looked very scary, as if it was about to die suddenly.
At this moment, Xia Ren hurriedly reminded, "Boss Lu, don't go over there again!"
She thought to herself that if she went any further, she would scare the Salamander Sphinx to death.
She found that sometimes Boss Lu had no idea about his own aura. He had already had a record of shocking an apple 100 levels before, so why was he still so unreliable?
Sure enough, after Lu Li stopped, the Salamander Sphinx fell into a semi-shock state.
"What should I do next? Why did it fall down before I even hit it?"
Lu Li was a little puzzled.
"Boss Lu, please restrain your aura and come back to my side."
Shrimp gave instructions with a weird look on his face.
Lu Li turned back after hearing that, and saw Salamander Sphinx gasping for breath and waking up again, as if he had just been in a state of extreme suffocation that led to shock, and now he has come back to life.
After the extreme ups and downs of fear, Salamander Sphinx seemed to be unable to hold back her nerves and burst into tears because of the joy of life and the fear that was still spreading.
Suddenly, sweet cola gushed out like an upside-down waterfall.
Seeing this, Lu Li didn't ask about the principle of the shrimp. He opened his mouth and started drinking. Even though he knew that this was the cola with impurities, it was still a thousand times better than the cola he had drunk before.
The bubbles seemed to burst and rise constantly in my mouth, and the almost endless stimulation and sweet aroma made any cola pale in comparison.
As the period of impurities in the sweet cola passed, the subsequent cola became even sweeter and more delicious, making Lu Li, a cola lover, exclaim in enjoyment.
The reason why he wanted to experience the heat of the desert was because he felt that drinking ice-cold Coke would be the most delicious after feeling the heat.
Otherwise, he could have kept the shrimps at a comfortable temperature throughout the whole process. The reason he let her keep it warm for a while was to share the joy.
At this time, Shrimp caught the sweet cola in a container. After taking a sip, she was instantly conquered by the refreshing and sweet cola. She drank it in big gulps without caring about her ladylike image, and burped from time to time.
Lu Li manipulated gravity to collect all the sweet cola into the container. He did not stop until the gushing of the Salamander Fink ended, and then he was satisfied.
After putting the big bottle into the storage space, he knocked Salamander Spink unconscious and carried him on his shoulder. "Let's go back and have some food. There will be plenty of drinks today."
Xia Ren was not at all dissatisfied with Lu Li's exploitation of her cooking skills. Instead, she felt very happy that she could cook with high-quality ingredients every day.
Just when they returned to the food world with their spoils of victory, Lu Li discovered that Jiro had come again.
"Old man, I really don't have any wine this time. But I just got some sweet cola. Do you want some?"
Lu Li greeted Jiro with a smile.
"Kid, who do you think I am? This is not why I came here."
Jiro said this and took out the God of Cookery and took a sip.
"Oh? So your full meal of life is ready?"
Lu Li said in surprise, it’s only the second day, is it so fast?
This time Jiro felt a little embarrassed, "It's not because of this, I haven't prepared the ingredients yet, and Setsunori is still busy, I came here because of something else."
"Please tell me, old man. As long as it's not too troublesome, I can do it."
Lu Li said.
After hearing what Lu Li said, Jiro was even more embarrassed to speak, but after hesitating for a while, the worry in his heart made him decide to speak out, "It's like this, the Gourmet Club has been very active recently, and Yilong and the president of the Gourmet Club are about to have a decisive battle. I would like to trouble you to go there and support them secretly."
