Chapter 901 Lu Li: What’s wrong with Chu Chu?

Lu Li felt that Ah Huo's transformation would probably take a long time, so after increasing the time multiplier to the maximum, he threw it into the Gourmet Hunter Universe and let Ah Huo find a quiet star field to transform.

During this food trip, Ah Huo actually failed to break through to the eighth level, even though he ate too many good things and was lucky enough to awaken his gourmet cells by eating. But Ah Huo was stuck at the eighth level threshold and couldn't get through.

As a result, a large amount of nutrients and energy were stored in its body, causing it to become excessively obese and it could barely walk. That was why Lu Li did not let Ah Huo show up in the subsequent battles.

Lu Li felt that on the one hand, Ah Huo had not been tempered enough, and on the other hand, it was limited by the system of Ah Huo's own skills. Before the next transformation, it could not become an eighth-level creature.

Therefore, Ah Huo’s transformation this time should see significant improvement as long as the previous nutrients are absorbed and transformed.

After settling Ah Huo, Lu Li returned to the space. Aizen contacted him and said that most of the things had been sold, and transferred Lu Li's money to him.

Now Lu Li's wallet was full again. After paying off the money he owed to the space, he had 150 million in hand, so he decided to go for a walk in the commercial street.

Soon, he skillfully strolled to the small street behind the commercial street, pushed the door and entered the familiar shop, "Boss, give me one of your supreme set meals."

"Come right away!"

When Xia Ren saw that it was Lu Li who came, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he hurried to the kitchen to work.

The previously deserted little restaurant now had a few guests, all of whom were high-level explorers, including the grumpy old lady from the botanical garden that Lu Li had met before.

"Prisoner, it's great if shareholders come to eat."

The grumpy old sister said jokingly that she had just finished her meal, and her gourmet cells were shining with the light of evolution. It was obvious that she had just made a big purchase of shrimps.

Even if she had never consumed gourmet food before, the food that could cause her properties to change must be above the full score of the fairy level.

Looking at her satisfied and intoxicated expression, you can tell that she is quite happy with the shrimp cooking skills. Compared with various painful and dangerous ways of strengthening, spending some money to eat delicious food to become stronger is indeed a pleasure.

"Don't tease me, Miss Xisun. It's just a small business, and the ingredients are all shrimps. I'm just shamelessly eating for free."

Lu Li said with a smile.

He was telling the truth. He had no intention of taking a commission from the Shrimp Shop, because it was agreed from the beginning that he would help Shrimp Shop complete the task of collecting ingredients. The agreement only stated that Shrimp Shop would be responsible for cooking well for him in the mission world and ensuring that he had good food and drink.

Even though Xia Ren finally made a fortune beyond his original expectations, Lu Li did not intend to take a commission from the other party. That was what Xia Ren deserved, and as long as he could eat for free, it would be fine.

After all, to survive in this space, no matter what your status is, you need money. Lu Li also hopes that Xia Ren can make more money by opening a cooking shop with these ingredients, and become a capable supporter in the future, and improve his cooking skills, so that he can eat more delicious meals.

The other two powerful End of the World in the store had finished their meal, but because they had never chatted with Lu Li in the group on weekdays, they just nodded and left, looking very cold.

However, the grumpy old sister leaned back in the chair after eating, with her long legs ungracefully placed on a stool beside her. Her high-slit red skirt fell down, revealing her fair skin. However, this heroic woman didn't care at all and just looked at Lu Li with interest.

After the shrimps were served, Lu Li took a few bites and felt a little uncomfortable. "Sister, is there anything I can do for you? If not, I can give you two bites."

"Although your subsequent proposal is very tempting, I came to you to discuss something serious."

The grumpy old lady put her legs down and leaned forward, looking more serious. "The deputy leader asked me to tell you something."

Lu Li was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he put down his cutlery and became serious, "What does Manjushage want from me?"

He had never met the deputy leader of the botanical garden, but had only heard of his reputation. He was currently ranked third in Fat Dragon's Tianlu game and had only appeared in the group twice.

Lu Li recently felt that the ranking list was extremely valuable, because even with his current strength, he had not yet reached the 500th floor. It was hard to imagine what level of monsters those above the 900th floor were.

What on earth does such a mysterious and powerful top-level figure in space want from me?

"Don't be nervous, it's not a bad thing. There's just an interesting event going on in the space recently, and I want to ask if you want to participate."

The grumpy older sister explained.

"Oh? What activity?"

Lu Li took the plate of food handed to him by Shrimp, and out of politeness, he resisted the urge to eat and put it on the table first.

The grumpy sister didn't care about Shrimp either. She probably thought Shrimp was just a supporter and it didn't matter if he heard it.

"There is a small competition involving some spatial games. People from each space are required to conquer the native world to see which one has the better conquering ability."

The grumpy old lady explained, "This competition only recruits explorers in the early and middle stages of the eighth level, so I can't go. The deputy leader thinks you are good and asked me to ask for your opinion."

"What's good?"

Lu Li said bluntly.

"Of course, although I am the one who notified you and asked for your opinion, the organizer is the space, and this is not some private gambling. The space will give you the rewards you deserve, which should be more generous than the ordinary mission world."

The irritable older sister said, "But correspondingly, the native worlds selected in the competition are obviously very dangerous. I heard that there have been such competitions before, and the wipeout rate of a single world exceeded 40%."

"Since there is talk of a team being wiped out, does that mean we can enter the competition as a team?"

Lu Li inquired.

The grumpy sister nodded. "Yes, in history, many spaces would send large adventure groups with excellent organization and discipline to participate in such activities. There is strength in numbers. This is normal because this competition tests the comprehensive capabilities of the space, especially the ability of high-end explorers to truly create value."

Lu Li was thoughtful after hearing this. Just as he had thought before, it was very likely that the explorers' conquest of the derived world would not create any value for the space.

If you think about it carefully, you will understand that the derivative world can even be constantly reincarnated and restarted. Then who controls this process of reincarnation and restart?
Even if it was finally taken in, Lu Li felt that it was just a state of joint management, turning that world into private property.

No matter what, Lu Li felt that there was something fishy about the derivative world that could be reopened repeatedly. The main reason was that he did not think that the reset process was a natural process, and it was even more impossible to complete this process without any energy.

Therefore, the place where space can truly generate income should be the native world. If the derived world is a training base, then the native world is the battlefield for actual combat.

"Doesn't this kind of competition involve space regulations?" Lu Li asked vaguely. What he wanted to say was that if it was a competition similar to the World War, according to the rules, the End Space would forcibly recruit him, and there would be no need for the grumpy old sister to ask for his opinion.

"Hmm... How should I put it? The End might have chosen you, but it's just a possibility. After all, there is a special team in the eighth level, and they might also participate in this event."

The grumpy old sister thought for a moment and said, "It's just that the deputy head is more optimistic about you, so he came to ask you. If you want to go, he will eventually choose you."

Lu Li thought that what the other party said was really intriguing. Why did he feel that the deputy leader of the botanical garden could interfere with the choice of the End Space to a certain extent?
"Do you need an urgent reply on this matter?"

Lu Li asked, "I am not alone now, I have a partner, I need to ask his opinion."

Lu Li personally wanted to go. After all, it didn't matter which mission world he went to. He liked challenging things. Besides, it sounded like the space would give some extra benefits.

"No rush, just give me an answer this week."

The grumpy old sister stood up and stretched, her explosive curves clearly visible under her tense body, and then she walked out of the shrimp shop.

"Boss Lu, it sounds very dangerous."

Another dish of shrimp was served.

Lu Li's mouth curled up dangerously, "Isn't this interesting?"

After hearing this, Xia Ren was speechless for a while, thinking that he really could not understand Boss Lu's inner world. Why do powerful explorers like fighting and killing so much?
Lu Li asked Aizen for his opinion in the group chat. Aizen responded very readily. He also said that he liked challenging things. Besides, as long as the native world was managed well, higher income could usually be obtained.

The first trial world that Aizen entered into space was the native world. With the income from just one trial world, he caught up with Lu Li, which shows how fertile the native world is.

As the saying goes, fortune and honor are achieved through risk. Lu Li and Aizen are both adventurous people in their bones. They are confident in their own abilities and even conceited. There is no way they would refuse such an activity.

So Lu Li quickly sent a private message to the Angry Sister in the group. The reason why he didn't send a private message to Manjushage directly was because Lu Li felt that the boss was too mysterious and cold, and it seemed a bit offensive to send a private message to her directly.

The grumpy sister didn't expect Lu Li to reply so quickly. She said that she would report to the deputy leader when he was free, and Lu Li only needed to wait for notification from the space.

Lu Li finished his meal at the shrimp restaurant and stood up, rubbing his stomach contentedly. "I have to go to Chuchu's to spend money again. I suddenly feel that I am quite poor."

He only had 5000 million left. Considering that his current attributes met the usage requirements, the price of good immortal-level equipment in the market was generally over million. Lu Li felt that if he went to order custom equipment, he could only make three pieces at most.

"Boss Lu...are you...are you short of money? Actually...I...I still have some money here."

Shrimp spoke hesitantly, seeming a little embarrassed.

"what?"

Lu Li had already stepped out of the door. He was thinking about the equipment, so he didn't pay much attention to what Xia Ren had just muttered. "What did you just say?"

Shrimp's face flushed like a frightened deer. "I... I wanted to say that I made a lot of money from running the store these days. Today I have paid off the debt owed to the space, and I still have more than 10 million End Coins, if Boss Lu needs them."

Lu Li shook his head and smiled when he heard that. "You can keep it to improve your kitchen and yourself. You deserve it."

Lu Li didn't like owing others money, and he knew that Xia Ren couldn't always make money this way. After all, her money was provided by the three eighth-level explorers, and the funds those people spent on food in each world must be limited.

That is to say, there is only one wave of continuous large orders like this in a month. Even considering that the eighth-level explorer may not come out of the mission world for several months, the shrimps have to wait at the door of the store during the period.

After finally paying off the debt of the space, Lu Li felt that the other party should plan his career well. He would not use Xia Ren's money.

What's more, the funds he needs to customize the equipment are astronomical now, and ten or twenty million is not enough.

After Lu Li said goodbye to Xia Ren, he headed for Chu Chu's shop. As soon as he arrived at the door of the shop, Lu Li felt the gaze.

Well, it was a gaze so intense and focused that Lu Li thought for a moment that he had done something wrong.

He walked up to Chu Chu and waved his hand in front of her eyes, "Chu Chu? Don't you recognize me?"

Chu Chu looked Lu Li up and down seriously, "I really don't recognize you. I entrust you to protect Xia Ren, you..."

Lu Li looked innocent, "I protected her well, she wasn't hurt, and I also got her a lot of rare ingredients, now she can study the recipes at will."

"you!"

Chu Chu was speechless for a moment. She felt that what Lu Li said was not wrong, but she felt a little angry for some reason. "I asked you to protect her, not to..."

"Didn't you let me do anything?"

Lu Li was totally confused, not knowing what was going on with the blacksmith whom he had known for a long time.

"Forget it, you come in first."

Chu Chu rolled her eyes, turned around a little disappointed, and hooked her finger at Lu Li.

There was no one in her shop. It seemed that it had been closed for a long time and only opened in the past two days.

Lu Li remembered that when he just returned, he saw Chu Chu's avatar in the friend list was gray. He thought that the other party must have gone to the mission world to mine a few days ago and just returned.

Chuchu walked into the inner room and sat down on the chair behind the workbench. She crossed her arms over her chest, her long legs in black under her sailor skirt crossed, and looked up at Lu Li, "I can't tell."

"what?"

Lu Li thought that Chuchu's current reconnaissance items or skills were not enough to see through his attributes, so he quickly reported: "My current physique, strength, and agility attributes are 220 points, and my spirit attribute is 221 points. As for the charm attribute, you know, it's still very low."

Chu Chu was speechless for a moment when she saw Lu Li introducing his attributes to her seriously. She felt like she had used all her strength to punch a cotton ball. "Is your charm low? Why do I feel like you are not low in charm?"
