Chapter 871 Lu Li: Sure enough, my food luck is still good
Chapter 871 Lu Li: Sure enough, my food luck is still good
"Everyone, please be patient. I also want to try to see if I can draw the sword."
Lu Li waved his hand to signal to everyone. Unlike Xia Ren, he was very natural and never felt any psychological pressure.
But amid his brilliant smile, the audience's cheers gradually died down, and people near the stands were even stepping back unconsciously with a hint of fear on their faces.
Lu Li was speechless, thinking that he had restrained himself very well and was a positive person in everyone's eyes, so what did you have to be afraid of?
Those who retreated also realized that their behavior was abnormal. The main reason was that the crowd was too crowded and they could not retreat more than a few dozen centimeters without being blocked.
They looked at Lu Li awkwardly, and no one spoke for a while.
Lu Li didn't care and took the kitchen knife from Xia Ren. He found that this kitchen knife was a fairy-level kitchen knife and could be used as a weapon.
This sword does indeed contain a sword spirit, a special kind of sword spirit that is related to food luck and will automatically be friendly to people with strong food luck.
At this moment, when Lu Li was holding the kitchen knife in his hand, he could even feel that the kitchen knife was struggling and resisting slightly, which made Lu Li quite unhappy.
He had just carefully observed the process of Xia Ren drawing the sword. It was indeed the sword that catered to Xia Ren, otherwise even if Xia Ren had the strength of the seventh level, he would not be able to pull it out.
He returned the kitchen knife to Xia Ren, ignoring the host who was hesitating to announce the end of the event and give Xia Ren a reward, and said to Xia Ren: "Let go, let the knife fall naturally, and then try to put it back in."
Xia Ren didn't understand what Lu Li wanted to do at first, but she did it anyway. After taking the kitchen knife, she held it vertically downwards. As soon as she loosened her hand, the sharp knife was inserted into the ground again.
"Miss Xia, what are you doing?"
The host was also confused when he saw this. He walked forward and was about to announce the result with the Food Shrine Card in his hand ready, but Shrimp threw the knife back.
"I……"
Xia Ren didn't know how to explain, so he looked to Lu Li for help.
"Didn't I just say that I also want to test my food luck? Drawing a sword is a good test, so let my partner put the sword back and I will try again."
Lu Li explained to the host.
"But... is it really possible for this knife to just fall freely like this?"
The host said hesitantly.
"This is your unprofessionalism. Don't you know how the knife got stuck there in the first place?"
Lu Li said with a smile, he could see clearly that this knife was related to food luck, and it must have been someone with good food luck who stabbed it at first.
The host was just copying to create an atmosphere, he really didn't understand the deep mystery of food luck, and seeing that Lu Li, the leader of the Five Heavenly Kings, said so, he couldn't refute it.
"Anyone else want to test the sword? Come up and try first. If I draw my sword, you may not have a chance."
Lu Li looked at the audience again. He was not sure if this would work, so he wanted to find an ordinary person to try it out first.
The audience below looked at each other, and no one mustered up the courage to go on stage, mainly because Lu Li's aura was not very friendly.
Finally, a fifth-level explorer came up and politely saluted Lu Li, "Boss, let me try."
Lu Li nodded in satisfaction, thinking that this man was quite sensible and that he could be exempted from the protection fee this time in the future.
The explorer stepped forward and pulled hard, his face turning red, but the kitchen knife didn't move at all.
"Xiao Xia, go up and try again."
Lu Li called for the shrimp because he wanted to do a comparative test so as to observe the effect of food luck.
Upon hearing this, Xia Ren walked forward and stretched out one hand. As soon as he raised his hand slightly, the knife came out.
The fifth-level explorer who was watching this was also amazed, "This is amazing, what is the principle of food luck?"
He could tell that Shrimp had little combat ability, and was probably just a backup, and his attributes were a bit stronger, but he was completely useless, and Shrimp was able to pull him out easily.
"Throw it down again."
Lu Li asked Xia Ren to draw his sword and throw it down again like he did just now, which made the host look weird because he felt that the nature of this activity had changed.
After Xia Ren threw the knife down casually again, the explorer tried again and called on several of his teammates to come up and draw their knives, but none of them worked.
Because the explorers were like agents, and seeing that they could communicate with Lu Li very naturally, the natives below also became active and came up to try.
About an hour later, those with good food luck and those with average food luck came up to try, but none of them could draw their swords.
What’s weird is that Lu Li also saw Zong Kai in the crowd, so he invited him to come up and draw his sword.
“Hahaha… See? Even these Five Heavenly Kings know about Master Zong Kai’s reputation. They have to give me some face.”
Zong Kai was very proud to show off to his younger brothers, but in fact, having grown up in a secluded village, he had no idea what the Five Heavenly Kings of Gourmet Food were, nor did he understand the value of being the world's number one chef.
He is like a silly optimist, but he is also a fool with good fortune, and his food luck is too good.
In full view of everyone, Zong Kai proudly bent down and drew his sword, which resulted in something unexpected happening to Lu Li.
Because Zong Kai was unable to pull out the kitchen knife, he used both hands and put all his strength into it as if he was pulling a radish, but the knife did not move at all.
For a moment, Lu Li thought that the knife was inserted too tightly this time, causing Zong Kai to be unable to pull it out. As a result, he asked Xia Ren to help, and Xia Ren pulled the knife out easily.
Let’s change to Zong Kai. Zong Kai still can’t be pulled out. Aizen clearly said that Zong Kai is very difficult to kill, which shows his strong food luck.
What's going on? Could it be that Xia Ren's food luck is better than Zong Kai's?
That's not right. As the man with the best food luck in the world, there is no reason for Zong Kai not to meet the food luck requirements.
Lu Li fell into deep thought, looking at the knife stuck in the ground. Could it be that this knife had a spirit, and in addition to detecting food luck, it also had certain subjective judgments?
Lu Li couldn't figure it out. He originally thought that he had some understanding of food luck, but Zong Kai's inability to pull out the knife made him confused again.
After Zong Kai walked off the stage cursing, Lu Li felt everyone's gazes.
Because of the continuous plugging and unplugging operations, the audience was now numb, and no one came up to try for a while. They all wanted to see if Lu Li, who was currently rumored to be the world's number one gourmet hunter, could pull out the knife. Under the attention of everyone, Lu Li was too lazy to do a comparative test and just tried it himself.
He held the hilt of the knife with his right hand, exerted a little force, and found that the knife did not move at all.
With his delicate perception of power, he felt that the knife was firmly sucked onto the platform, and the platform was tightly sucked onto the earth, taking root with the planet.
No wonder the seventh-level explorer just now couldn't pull it out with brute force, because this is equivalent to going against the mass of the entire earth, and the earth in this world is not light.
"Good fellow, you don't give me face."
Lu Li whispered secretly in his heart, because even after he continued to increase his strength, the knife still did not move, as if it was struggling with him and could not come out.
As a result, the people present suddenly felt the ground shaking, like an earthquake, and the shaking was still increasing.
Not only that, except for the people here, the entire earth is shaking slightly at this time, and living beings everywhere can feel it.
Lu Li continued to exert his strength, and with a sound of biu, the kitchen knife was pulled out. He had a smile on his face, "It seems that my food luck is not bad."
As he spoke, under the strange looks of Shrimp and the host, he shook the kitchen knife in his hand. The host said, "Let's settle the activity."
Shrimp looked at the cracks on the stage that spread like spider webs, and thought to himself, Boss Lu, this is not good food luck at all! ?
The host's mouth twitched as well, wanting to say that Lu Li's violent way of drawing the sword was not against the rules, but the event did not say that one could not draw the sword by brute force, it only said that the person who drew the sword would get a reward.
So he could only give the card to Lu Li obediently. Anyway, he felt that Lu Li and Xia Ren were of the same kind, so it didn't matter who he gave it to.
"But after thinking about it carefully, I have almost finished eating the food here, so I will use this card to treat everyone to a meal. I will pay for all the consumption in the Gourmet Shrine today."
Lu Li said with a smile.
The host wanted to say that this was against the rules, but if he thought about it carefully, compared with Lu Li's rumored voracious appetite, perhaps inviting one billion people in the Food Shrine to dinner today would save more money than inviting Lu Li alone to dinner for a year.
Therefore, he could only smile and nod, "Then let's do as Mr. Lu said. Did you hear that? Mr. Lu will pay for all the consumption today!"
The cheers spread outward from the center of the stands like a wave. As the news spread, the entire Gourmet Shrine fell into a carnival. After all, not everyone who came here to worship was rich.
However, the consumption in some stores in the central area is still very high, and they simply cannot afford to eat there.
But now that Lu Li was paying for the entire meal, they could enjoy the food to their heart's content.
"what?"
While people were partying, Lu Li made a puzzled sound because he found that the kitchen knife in his hand was not so resistant to him anymore.
As a warrior, he is very sensitive to the changes in the texture of cold weapons in his hands. He can clearly feel that the kitchen knife's rejection of him has decreased.
To be more specific with numerical examples, the kitchen knife's rejection of him was 100 before, but now it has dropped to 95.
This interesting phenomenon made Lu Li suspect that human behavior could change their food fortunes.
Of course, it may also be that the act of sharing delicious food made the kitchen knife appreciate itself a little more, thus reducing its rejection.
The reason why Zong Kai was excluded was not because he was not lucky in food, but because he did not have a strong spirit of sharing, and maybe he was ugly?
Lu Li inserted the knife back into the table and used a little more force, but it still felt difficult to pull out. However, if he wanted to pull it out forcefully, he would only need to use less force than last time.
He loosened his hand and stopped playing the sword-drawing game. He took the shrimp and avoided the noisy crowd and went to the main hall of the Gourmet Shrine.
After what happened just now, he felt that he had a better understanding of food luck. He thought that the strength of food luck could be divided into innate and acquired.
In terms of innate food luck, Zong Kai is a typical example. As for Xiaosong and Alu, Lu Li suspected that they had both innate abundant food luck and acquired increased food luck.
For example, Alu has a strong spirit of sharing food, which is a kind of great love. If we want to explain it from the perspective of the world of cultivation, this behavior of sharing for the benefit of mankind can also be said to be an accumulation of "merit".
People's gratitude to him is close to belief, and powerful luck will be bestowed upon him, thus further enhancing A'lu's food luck.
Xiaosong has the ability to be liked by ingredients, which is due to his natural good luck in eating and his personal character. He treats all ingredients and his kitchen utensils gently and seriously.
No one should think that Komatsu is an ordinary person. After all, Komatsu became the head chef of IGO's five-star hotel at a young age. To put it bluntly, Komatsu has been a young and talented chef since the beginning of the plot, not a timid little office worker.
Lu Li and Xia Ren were currently worshipping the god of food, Acacia. Lu Li felt that he should have awakened the combination of innate and acquired food luck to the point of being deified.
Acacia found GOD, stopped the endless wars between humans, and resolved the great famine, allowing humans to have enough food, thus ushering in the era of great gourmet food.
Any one of these achievements can be said to be a great merit. No wonder people are still constantly paying homage to him five hundred years later.
People's gratitude and faith over the years, as well as the achievements of gourmet food in history, will enhance a person's food fortune, but Lu Li feels that this is difficult for him to replicate.
Besides, for the God of Food to be able to achieve something, it must be that his food luck was very strong from the beginning, and modern humans don’t have any chance to save him at the food level, so it is impossible for him to create merits related to food luck.
Besides, Lu Li was not the kind of person who would put all living beings in danger just to improve his own abilities, so he felt that accumulating food luck by sharing delicious food was not very reliable.
After much thought, he felt that he should find a quick solution.
"Lu...Boss Lu...you...who do you see over there?"
Just as Lu Li was thinking, the sound of shrimp shivering came from Lu Li's ears.
He turned around and found that there was another figure under the statue of the God of Gourmet.
The man was tall, with long, slightly curly purple hair hanging down. He had a fierce aura and a cold, keep-away-from-people attitude, causing many nearby tourists and believers to stay away from him.
This person is Sanhu, the former president of the Gourmet Club. Now the Gourmet Club has been disbanded by him. It is said that some members of the Gourmet Club have surrendered to IGO, while others have fled everywhere, hiding in the dark and dare not show their heads.
There are still some strong people who are still willing to follow Sanhu. Even if they don't cause trouble in the future and want to take the right path, they still want to follow the original boss.
This group of people were recommended to IGO by Sanhu. Among them was a young man whom Yilong admired very much. He was originally the deputy chef of the Gourmet Club. His name was Stajiu. When Yilong saw him, he said that Sanhu was misleading young people.
However, Yilong did not teach them himself, but what made Lu Li want to complain about was that he wanted to force people to Lu Li's side to practice with the Four Heavenly Kings.
