Chapter 889 Achieving Gourmet Freedom
Chapter 889 Achieving Gourmet Freedom
After losing the control of Blue Netero, NEO had no rivals. It kept eating and eating, and in just a few months it devoured an entire star field.
Its unlimited appetite caused its strength to expand rapidly, to the point that it had never encountered any decent battles. It was either eaten up overwhelmingly or killed directly by its target.
Anyway, NEO generally doesn't feel pain, and as a foodie devil it won't die. It thinks death is just a small stage in reincarnation and there's nothing to be afraid of.
But today was different. It met a man who completely crushed it and did not kill it. Instead, he tortured it according to its habit and made it despair.
This directly broke the defense of NEO, who was already fragile inside. Both the pain and the feeling of despair were unbearable.
What made it even more terrified was that Lu Li didn't look like he was going to achieve his goal at all. Even if it wanted to vomit, he wouldn't let it do so and just tortured it.
So when NEO found the opportunity this time, he vomited with all his might, fearing that he would be interrupted by Lu Li and return to the painful cycle of torture.
Lu Li has read about NEO's experience, but he doesn't feel sorry for NEO or that there is anything that can be whitewashed.
All I can say is that this guy has a dark and cruel nature. As soon as he is no longer restrained by Blue Netero, he starts to enjoy the despair of his prey and feeds on despair. He is a born pervert.
Lu Li felt no psychological burden at all when interrogating and torturing this kind of character.
In his opinion, it would be too easy for NEO to just spit out the food.
NEO had been vomiting for half a month because Lu Li thought NEO was vomiting too slowly. He said, "If you don't want to vomit, we can continue the previous game." This scared NEO so much that he sped up his vomiting.
In the end, the food spit out by NEO piled up to the size of a galaxy, an astronomical figure among astronomical figures. It can only be said that it is worthy of being the food of the universe.
Acacia and the others noticed the huge movement in the universe and flew over to see what was happening. They looked at NEO who was vomiting wildly in amazement and thought that Lu Li was really capable.
"I can actually make NEO spit it out... Lu Li, how did you do it?"
Acacia asked Lu Li in surprise. He had thought of so many ways over the years, but none of them could be realized.
"Isn't it simple?"
Lu Li looked normal, "This guy isn't a determined person. His appetite is a bit strong, but that's all."
Yilong and the others were also amazed, but seeing the horrified look in NEO's eyes when he looked at Lu Li, they did not ask Lu Li in detail how he trained NEO.
Anyway, the result is good. NEO finally spits out the ingredients of the blue universe. This will be a great thing for all mankind and even the entire universe.
From now on, even after another 10 billion years, humans will no longer have to worry about a food crisis.
"Lu Li, you are the food god who deserves to be praised by mankind for thousands of generations."
Acacia said with emotion that he had only ended the war among human beings back then. In fact, it was his apprentice Yilong's subsequent contribution to ensure that human beings had enough food and water.
"Senior, you are too kind. If you hadn't started the Great Gourmet Era, there wouldn't be a gourmet hunter like me in the future, right?"
Lu Li said modestly, and kicked NEO again, "Keep vomiting, there should be more, right?"
NEO curled up there with a look of fear on his face, not daring to run, and turned completely back to his original appearance. He kept shaking his head, indicating that he really had nothing left and had vomited it all out.
Lu Li picked up NEO, turned it upside down, and shook it up and down repeatedly, trying to see if he could pour out a little more, fearing that this guy had kept some private goods.
But NEO kept dry heaving, and finally vomited out a bunch of green water, and nothing else. Only then did Lu Li realize that this guy had really vomited everything out.
"Since you've already vomited it out, it's of no use to me."
Lu Li had a bright smile on his face and threw NEO to Sanhu, "I'll leave it to your family to deal with."
NEO, who has already vomited all his food, has now turned into a weak food demon with no power. Not to mention Sanhu and the others, even Shrimp can kill NEO with one foot.
At this time, Sanhu was very calm. He just looked at NEO silently. He had no intention of continuing to torture NEO. Instead, he threw him to Jiro.
Jiro was drinking and drunkenly kicked him to Yilong. Yilong's minority barrier was activated and passed NEO to Acacia.
Acacia looked at the trembling NEO with a sigh on his face, but he still looked up at Lu Li, "What happened in the past is in the past. Even if we kill it, it will still find a chance to revive in the Soul Eater Realm. Seal it with the golden can."
He is someone who has eaten each other with PAIR and knows the plan of Blue Netero, so he hopes that Lu Li can seal up NEO, which has no value but still poses a potential risk in the future.
"You know, things like sealing are actually very unreliable."
As Lu Li counted the ingredients in the starry sky, he said, "The so-called seal is waiting to be opened one day, and then it will cause a disaster again."
Acacia and the others were stunned when they heard this, and felt that what Lu Li said seemed to make sense. After all, there were many comics in the human world, and a common plot in them was that a young man inadvertently opened an ancient seal and released a demon or something.
Finally, the thrilling adventure begins. In the end, either you have to go to great lengths to seal the demon again, or you finally find a way to kill it.
In short, the seal is indeed an unreliable thing and it will be opened one day.
Just imagine that billions of years later, there are no strong people on Earth, and an ignorant person opens the gold can. NEO will reappear and eat up everything in the red universe.
"Brother Lu Li, please stop keeping me in suspense. Since you said that, you must have a solution, right?"
Yilong asked, he knew Lu Li's character better and was aware of his many methods.
"Just kill him."
Lu Li said, "I mean to kill him completely."
As he said that, he walked towards NEO, "Didn't you just want to die? I'll satisfy you."
NEO suddenly stepped back with horror on its face, because it felt that the death it understood was not the same as what Lu Li meant.
It had a premonition that if it was killed by Lu Li, it would probably not go to the Soul-Eating World at all, but would truly perish forever.
Under the surprised gazes of Yilong and his companions, a dark shadow of a demon rose up behind Lu Li. They had never seen such a majestic and terrifying food demon.
Even the Tang Slime in Yilong's body was startled and came out, "Yilong, this kid is really bad. I have never seen his food demon before, but it seems to be much stronger than me. I can't figure out his details at all."
The reason why Tang Slime is so sensitive is that it is the strongest overlord of the black universe. However, whether when it ruled the black universe or in the history it knows, there has never been such a black gourmet demon.
"Where on earth did this kid find such a food demon?" Jiro also asked in confusion, thinking that the food demon on Lu Li's body was too ominous.
Sanhu stood aside without saying anything, just took a few more glances at the food demon on Lu Li, while Acacia was a little stressed, thinking that the food demon on Lu Li was even worse than NEO.
However, Lu Li did not give too much explanation and directly launched the King's Dinner on NEO. The dark demon transformed into a gourmet devil, opened his huge mouth and completely swallowed NEO.
It’s the same principle as the one that devoured the black gourmet demon before. Those who were eaten by the dirt in Lu Li’s body can never be resurrected. It’s simply a pipe dream to reincarnate in the spirit world.
Under NEO's horrified gaze, its consciousness completely fell silent.
The next thing was easy. Lu Li brought Yilong and the others back to Earth and reunited with Aizen and Xia Ren.
"Come and help me find the planetary menu."
Lu Li said, "This amount of food is too large. I can't take care of it all at once. Also, if you continue to collect the shrimp, won't it improve your mission rating?"
Yilong and his three disciples have already returned, saying that Lu Li can do with the food as he pleases, just give the humans enough to eat.
After all, Lu Li was the one who made NEO spit out the ingredients. At the same time, the four masters and apprentices had received too much favor from Lu Li, so they had no face to share these ingredients.
Under Yilong's ban, the IGO in the human world restricted various countries and was not allowed to privately launch space collectors into space to collect the food that filled the galaxy. They had to wait until Lu Li finished making his selection.
"Brother Lu... there are so many, are you really going to collect them all for me?"
The shrimp opened its mouth slightly, looking at the food that was so dense that it could fill the Milky Way. It was hard to imagine how the space would reward itself if it collected some of it.
As a support worker responsible for food collection, she feels that she has reached the pinnacle of the industry.
To use an analogy with mining, every time supporters like them enter the mission world to collect, they can generally collect dozens of rare ingredients, and if they can get a decent amount of each, it is considered a fruitful result.
But now, what was laid out in front of her was a galaxy of ingredients, simply an outrageous amount.
"I'm not going to give you everything. At least leave one planet with enough food to last for tens of thousands of years. You can take the rest."
Lu Li said that he now understood.
First of all, although he has a strong appetite, if he really wants to learn to eat like NEO, he can eat all the food in the galaxy.
But on the one hand, he felt that eating like that was too violent, and was limited by his current level. Except for a few high-end ingredients that were useful to him, the other ingredients were just eaten and would not have any additional improvement effects.
It would be a complete waste to let him eat and drink as much as he wants. It would be better to use the shrimps for the task of collecting ingredients.
On the other hand, although he had previously complained that Shrimp's task was to collect on his knees, he could only be allocated 1% of the space income.
But faced with such a large amount, Lu Li realized that even 1% is a lot!
You have to know that as an explorer, he can only certify five times in a world, which means that when the mission world ends, he can only certify a maximum of five ingredients to take back.
But Xia Ren is different. She has a collection task. No matter how much she collects, 1% of the space will be given to her.
This may seem small in proportion, but consider the size of the Milky Way.
Without considering the range of gravitational influence, the diameter of this world's Milky Way is generally considered to be 10 light-years, while the diameter of the solar system is about 2 light-years, so the diameter of the Milky Way is about 5 times that of the solar system.
1% of the food is roughly all the food in a sphere with a diameter of 1000 light years. This amount of food is enough for Lu Li to eat hundreds of tons of food in one meal. He feels that he can eat until he dies in space...
It’s instant food freedom!
Even if he couldn't break through this world in the end, it was equivalent to him bringing 1% of the food of the blue universe back to the space, which he could enjoy at will.
From the perspective of economic value, Lu Li can also let Xia Ren share some of his ingredients to sell, and Lu Li can also indirectly achieve financial freedom.
However, Lu Li felt that this seemed to be a bit of a bug. The space might not allow him to sell such a large amount of food directly, which would lose the meaning of the space to train explorers. If possible, everyone would have to rely on their supporters to do business.
But even if that doesn't work, just letting him eat it casually will still be delicious, and if paired with the cooking of the shrimps...tsk tsk.
"This... so much..."
Shrimp's little head had obviously figured out the problem. She realized that she was a poor little cook in the space a few months ago, but now it seemed that she was going to become a super rich woman.
She originally sought advice from Chuchu, just to find a way to survive, but who would have thought that she would enter a world of food and gain so much, it was like a dream.
"I...I will definitely try my best to make delicious meals for Boss Lu when I return!"
Xia Ren said seriously, his face a little red, probably because he was too excited.
"Then let's make a deal. Next time I go to your restaurant and cook with these ingredients, you have to give me a free meal."
Lu Li said with a smile.
Shrimp Head nodded quickly, "Even if it weren't for these ingredients, I...I wouldn't accept Boss Lu's money!"
At this time, Aizen, who was looking for the planetary menu among the ingredients, suddenly turned around and said with a smile, with a teasing tone, "Is only Brother Lu free of charge?"
"me……"
Shrimp's face turned red like a ripe apple. "If Mr. Aizen comes to eat, it's free."
Lu Li didn't really care about these things, as he was already concentrating on finding the ingredients for the planetary menu he wanted, but after searching for several hours and finding nothing, he became a little impatient.
To be honest, if he didn't rely on the laws of space to travel, even at his current speed, it would take a very long time to cross the Milky Way.
Therefore, faced with such a large amount of food, it would be a task that could not be completed in a short period of time just by screening it bit by bit with the naked eye.
Thinking of this, Lu Li became a little discouraged, and simply went to Earth to find the last dish on Acacia's life menu, the meat dish NEWS.
Aizen and Shrimp were very patient and continued to screen. Shrimp collected the food very quickly because of the laws of space. As long as it was determined that the food was ownerless and did not require a fight, it could be collected directly in large quantities. In terms of scope, it could even collect all the floating food in the entire galaxy at once.
