Chapter 42
"Who is this young man!"
"Hiss! Hey, why doesn't this young man wear protective clothing? Isn't he afraid of the air pressure here?"
"Did he kill the rock boar?"
"..."
Seeing the crazy rock boar suddenly die strangely, and then a handsome young man climbed up the air pressure hill without any protective measures, everyone was shocked.
Suddenly, someone recognized the young man and exclaimed: "Oh my god, isn't that Mr. Li Yuan? The day before yesterday, I saw his information in the newspaper!"
Someone next to him was not sure: "Li Yuan? Could it be the young man who discovered many new ingredients in Chopstick Canyon?"
The man was sure: "Yes. It's him!"
After saying this, everyone around had an impression of Li Yuan and was shocked.
"So he is Li Yuan!"
"I heard that he knocked out a giant squid with one punch in Chopstick Canyon!"
"So strong!"
"He killed the rock boar, no doubt!"
"..."
Li Yuan ignored the surprised expressions of the crowd and continued to move forward with a brisk pace.
After arriving at the pressure hill, Li Yuan used mental power to fight against the pressure at first.
The effect was very good.
Mental power formed an invisible energy field, which isolated the pressure and protected Li Yuan very well.
However, Li Yuan thought that although it was good to use mental power to fight against the harsh environment, the gourmet cells would not be exercised.
You know, in this world, food luck is the most powerful, followed by gourmet cells!
The power of gourmet cells is that they can adapt to various harsh environments and have unlimited potential.
For example,
In the original work, neo only had one gourmet cell left in the "Nei Li World" of the Deer King.
However, the gourmet cell withstood the pressure, stimulated its potential and evolved in the harsh environment of the "reverse world", and was no longer afraid of the "reverse world" of the Deer King!
Similarly,
If Li Yuan directly used the gourmet cell to fight against the air pressure here, if he could withstand it, then the gourmet cell would gradually adapt to the environment here.
This is a kind of tempering for the gourmet cell!
Along the way, at the beginning, Li Yuan was really uncomfortable. Sometimes the air pressure around him was high, and he felt like he was pinched by a pair of invisible big hands, his ears were buzzing, and sometimes the air pressure around him was low, he had difficulty breathing, and he felt dizzy...
However, after persisting for a period of time, this situation was slowly alleviated, and it was because the gourmet cell had gradually adapted to the environment here.
This adaptation process varies from person to person and varies with the activity level of the gourmet cell.
Some gourmet cells adapt to the harsh environment very slowly. I am afraid that before they adapt, the host can't stand it and dies!
Some gourmet cells adapt to the harsh environment very quickly. I am afraid that they adapt right away!
Although Li Yuan has white gourmet cells, he has only activated them once so far, and the activity level is not high, so he is slow to adapt to the harsh environment.
He almost died!
But, fortunately, he survived!
Of course,
Although gourmet cells adapt to the environment here, they need to consume a lot of energy.
In fact, the conditions for gourmet cells to be activated and evolve are, first, eating delicious food, eating the food that gourmet cells like, and eating a lot of delicious food; second, pressure, giving gourmet cells pressure, so that gourmet cells can stimulate their potential.
If you think of gourmet cells as an ingredient, it will be easier to understand!
Eating delicious food, eating the food that gourmet cells like, is equivalent to adding ingredients to cooking gourmet cells. With ingredients, gourmet cells will become more delicious.
And pressure is equivalent to the heat of cooking gourmet cells! !
Li Yuan walked past the rock boar, and the rock boar was wrapped in his mental power, floating up, and followed behind Li Yuan.
Everyone present was surprised again:
"Sure enough, the rock boar was killed by Li Yuan!"
"So strong!"
"Do we really have a chance to snatch earthworms and cordyceps from a strong man like him?"
"..."
Li Yuan ignored everyone's surprise and continued to move forward with the rock boar.
The rock boar is captured at level 20. Its surface is covered with thick rocks, but inside is fat pork.
It smells very good!
Came to an uninhabited place and put the rock boar into the small portable kitchen.
This is close to the halfway point of the pressure hill.
The pressure has become more terrible.
Li Yuan felt a lot of pressure.
He ate delicious food to replenish his energy while gritting his teeth to hold on.
Only by persisting and holding on, the gourmet cells will adapt to such pressure.
Continue to move up.
Earthworms and cordyceps will appear above the halfway point of the hill!
...
At the same time,
At the foot of the mountain.Four figures stood there.
They were the members of the sixth branch of the Gourmet Club.
Branch chief, the eyeball idiot Sedore.
Savage Dosa.
Weird Zaiba.
Crazy Kid.
"Lord Sedore, there are other people here, and their purpose is probably earthworms and cordyceps!" Dosa said.
"Tsk tsk!" Kidd grinned, "Others? Just kill them all!!"
Zaiba looked crazy: "Yes, yes, yes... Kill them all, chop off their heads!!"
Dosa bared his fangs: "What's the point of chopping off their heads? It's fun to cut open their stomachs and pull out their intestines!!"
"Pull out what intestines?" Zaiba disagreed, "Obviously chopping off their heads is fun! Snap, snap... one at a time, how cool!"
"Alright! Stop arguing!" Saidoru said, "Listen to me, kill them all, dig out their eyes, I want to collect them!!"
"Yes! Lord Saidoru!" Zaiba and Dosa stopped arguing and nodded in agreement.
But Kidd laughed strangely and rushed forward like a beast.
After a while, a group of gourmets who were left far behind by Li Yuan were slaughtered by Saidoru and others.
The ground was full of corpses!
The blood flowed like a river!
"Tsk tsk! These rubbish are so vulnerable!" Kidd grinned.
Zaiba and Dosa nodded: "Indeed!"
Sedoru was collecting eyeballs with great interest: "This one is good... This one is also beautiful... Wow, this one is so shiny..."
"Worthy to collect!"
He carefully put the eyeballs one by one into the collection box he carried with him.
...
Li Yuan, who had already reached the halfway point of the mountain, heard the sound of fighting and desperate screams coming from below, and frowned.
"Is there a fight going on down there?"
"No! We haven't found earthworms and cordyceps yet, what are we fighting for?"
"Forget it, never mind, let's find earthworms and cordyceps first!"
Li Yuan thought.
Then, he immediately launched a "mental scan".
In this month, earthworms and cordyceps turn from grass into earthworms and hide underground.
They will poke their heads out from underground and release a special smell that can attract the opposite sex.
If it were other gourmets, they would need to carefully observe the grass and distinguish the smell to locate the earthworms and cordyceps.
Li Yuan has a mental scan and a full-level food luck, so he is 100% sure to find earthworms and cordyceps...
