Chapter 15 The Battle of Hot Pot
"That's not that bad."
Zhewu continued: "Because of my parents, I don't have a contract elf. In this city, basically all junior high school students will get a super-type or ghost-type contract elf. With the blessing of the elf's super power,
, the intellectual potential of these junior high school students will be greatly improved."
"So you will gradually lose the qualification to compete with your peers." Ouyang blurted out.
More or less, he understood the specific reason, and Ouyang also understood a little more about this city.
In general, he is a student with an average IQ and average grades. Among a group of top students with above-average IQs and the ability to take medicine (contracted super elves), he was ostracized and despised in various ways, and over time he developed social phobia.
.
Social phobia is a bit inappropriate. It may be more accurate to say that it refuses to accept social interactions.
No matter how curious he was, he didn't ask what the "parents' reasons" were specifically. He knew that it was already a private matter and was not something that could be discussed.
"That's probably it." Zhewu shrugged helplessly, "But I don't have much resentment about it. It's just that Lao Mai always does some futile things."
"I'm afraid that you will become a dangerous person because of social anxiety." Lao Mai rolled his eyes and poured the vegetables into the hot pot.
"I'm not okay! Ah! Lao Mai, why did you put the vegetables in?" Seeing Lao Mai's actions, Zhewu immediately jumped up excitedly and tried to take the vegetables out of the pot, "Ah! I want to
Meat! Meat!”
"It's common sense to put the vegetables first when eating hot pot, okay? Just be calm."
Seeing the two people suddenly making a fuss, Ouyang stepped forward in time and pressed Zhewu's head to stop his stupid behavior.
"But then again, although I have no fighting ability, I can also see that with Zhewu's current fighting ability, he should be able to easily defeat a super elf and make a contract with him," Ouyang said.
.
"In fact, based on Zhewu's current combat power, if he has a contract elf, it will only take a few weeks to surpass the two gym leaders." At this point, Old Mai paused and looked at Zhewu.
Wu.
So strong...
The gym leaders here are not the mindless NPCs in the game who give people experience, but are responsible for the important positions of city security and defense. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are heroes who protect the hope of mankind.
Therefore, the eight gym leaders created in this environment are not only the eight strongest people in the Fengyuan region, but they are also at least eight of the top twenty strongest people. This concept still includes the Caiyu Alliance.
Only the four heavenly kings in it came out, and it has extremely high gold content.
The most intuitive manifestation of combat power is that each gym leader has the ability to face an "Elf Tide" composed of a thousand elves alone, and to persist for an hour until support arrives on the battlefield.
Even the Four Heavenly Kings have the ability to directly solve a small elf tide on their own.
What Lao Mai said about surpassing the gym leader within a few weeks means training his contracted spirit within a few weeks, superimposing the two combat powers together, and then surpassing the gym leader.
In other words: if there are no contract elves, Zhewu is the strongest combat force in Green Ridge City!
Of course, Ouyang Weibai didn't know how much exaggeration there was in this, but it didn't prevent him from coming to the conclusion that "Zhe Wu really
Super strong" is such a conclusion.
Zhewu said nothing, and the three people next to the hot pot fell into an unusually delicate silence.
You don't need to guess to know that the "parental reasons" must be the fundamental problem of Zhewu's refusal to accept the contracted elves.
For him to make such a stubborn decision to cultivate to such a powerful level today, what he has endured and sacrificed may be even more astonishing, and what is needed here is certainly not something that can be summed up by just a "hot-blooded idiot"
.
"The hotpot is on!"
Ouyang Weibai's words directly broke the silence, and the three of them stretched out their chopsticks to the hot pot in unison.
"Damn it! Why are you guys so skilled!"
In a duel between masters, the winner is often decided in an instant!
In just ten seconds, Ouyang Weibai and Lao Mai's bowls were filled with vegetables such as bamboo shoots, lotus roots, potatoes, bean skins, etc., while poor classmate Zhe Wu only had sporadic vegetables.
A few green cabbage leaves.
"You are too young, Zhewu!" Lao Mai said in the tone of an old mage. "The moment you hear the signal, you still hesitate for a few seconds. Hum, how naive."
"Hey." Zhewu glanced at his mouth in displeasure, and looked at Ouyang with eyes that became extremely surprised, "It's okay for Lao Mai to start so quickly, but why are you so quick to start Ouyang!"
"Sometimes the strength of strength cannot directly determine the final victory." Ouyang Weibai's tone revealed a feeling of loneliness, "And you are a complete mess in terms of skills."
And you are a complete mess in terms of technique.
A complete mess.
Confused.
It was a complete mess. These four words were like a bolt of lightning, which shattered something in Zhewu's mind and made his expression look a little frightened.
"It's hard, don't you mean..." Zhewu said tremblingly, "This is not the first time you have eaten hot pot?!"
"Hey, hey, innocent boy, are you kidding?"
Ouyang Weibai sneered a few times and looked at Zhe Wu with a sense of superiority over everyone: "Do you think this skill of picking up vegetables can be practiced in just one or two hot pot meals? Let me
Let me tell you, it took me the past ten years to constantly compete with an 'enemy of my life' to reach this level."
Ouyang Weibai felt a little sad every time he thought of the man who could compete with him for three hundred rounds at the dinner table, regardless of outcome.
Tsk, the last time I had dinner with him was half a year ago, and the buffet barbecue was half-assed. I have to think of an opportunity to make another date this summer.
"What...what?!" Zhewu was so frightened by Ouyang Weibai's momentum that he was speechless.
Ouyang Weibai said in a leisurely tone: "Now, I can't say it too much to say 'skills advance beyond Taoism'."
"It's actually... already so scary..." Zhe Wu looked at the few vegetable leaves in his bowl with a melancholy look on his face, and seemed to be quite shocked.
"The pot is on again, put the meat in." Ouyang reminded in time.
"Meat?!" Zhewu immediately became full of energy after hearing this word, "Ahhhh! I will never lose again this time!"
"Boom——!"
As expected, Zhewu's head
He was hammered again. Of course, the person who hammered him was still Lao Mai.
"Wow! Lao Mai, why are you hitting me again?!" Zhewu wailed, holding his head.
"Idiot, how can you eat the meat you just put in? Uncooked meat will only make you have diarrhea!" Lao Mai said as he put the ramen noodles in, "Cook the meat and ramen noodles together, the taste couldn't be better.
"
The ramen was just made by the Super Fighter.
I always feel that when an elf full of combat power does such a thing, it is filled with all kinds of indescribable feelings of disobedience...
"It's not that I don't know, I just want to use chopsticks to rinse the meat!" Zhewu immediately felt aggrieved for himself.
It should be noted here that the meat mentioned here is not the meat of elves, but the meat of some domestic animals.
There are two types of intelligent groups in this world, one is the human group, and the other is the elven group.
Theoretically speaking, the difference in development potential between the two groups is not that big. It is just that one has established civilization and entered modern society; while the other has strong power and is still in primitive society.
Because they recognize each other's wisdom and strength, these two groups will not eat each other. Intelligent species do not eat intelligent species. This is the most basic respect for the intelligent group itself.
This mentality should be somewhat similar to people's protests against eating dog meat, not only because more and more people keep dogs as pets, but more importantly because the dog species itself is indeed very smart.
If you have a very smart dog, if you ask it to fetch a shoe, it will grab the shoe. If you ask it to find a leash, it will grab the leash. Then some crazy person makes a bowl of braised dog meat and puts it in front of you.
If you eat, 90% of people will choose to refuse.
From a philosophical perspective, the relationship between humans and elves is still quite subtle. No matter how hard they try, no matter how hard they fight, the final bottom line of not eating each other must be maintained.
In addition to these two kinds of creatures, there is another kind of creature that is more miserable. The purpose of their existence is probably to be on the diet of humans and elves. This kind of creature is called an animal.
Different from the rich species of animals in the original world, the animals in this world refer to common livestock such as chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, cattle and sheep, so I personally think it is more appropriate to call them livestock here.
Under the pressure of the extreme living environment (both types of intelligent species feed on them), they have also evolved the most extreme living form, that is, there are no other fancy classifications, only the most basic form, which remains unchanged.
Be adaptable to changes.
They have no superpowers, no intelligence, or even a mind. They are like the most primitive cells, with only an almost insect-like ability to reproduce and a frenzied development period.
Generally speaking, for this type of species, whether oviparous or viviparous, the number of surviving fetuses per birth is: 10~20. Note that this is not the number of births, but the number of survivors, which means that each birth can guarantee at least 10.
The cub survives.
It only takes a short month for these 10 cubs to reach adulthood, and then they will enter a new breeding period. Their reproductive ability is terrifying, so there is no need to worry about being eaten by humans and elves and becoming extinct.
Of course, you are right. Meat products are still very expensive in Greenling City. After all, Greenling City is an island city and there are no large-scale breeding farms. There are only a few subsidiaries in the surrounding area that mainly engage in breeding.
