Dragon Clan: Little Dragon Man Changes Job to Food Hunter

Chapter 14 Picking Coffee Beans

"Be careful, those pests basically appear in groups, you must ensure your combat effectiveness."

Lu Zao said: "When it's time to replenish your energy, eat the supplies quickly."

Lu Mingfei thought about it for a moment. He remembered that there seemed to be a particularly outrageous setting in the world of food captives.

Infinite blue bars.

"Brother Zao, what should we do if we run into a particularly strong opponent and our health and mana bars are running low during the battle?"

Lu Zao shook his head: "When you become stronger, I will take you to a place where someone will teach you a very powerful passive skill. After learning it, you basically won't be afraid of energy consumption."

Chu Zihang: "Why do you have to wait until you become stronger?"

Lu Zao laughed out loud: "Because the teaching method of that cylindrical young man is a bit special. If you want to accept the teachings of the top leader, you must be prepared to die."

"Oh no, it should be the cylindrical old man."

"If we relax during this process, people will die."

"That passive skill is called 'Eating Up'. To put it simply, every cell in the body can store a huge amount of energy for consumption."

Lu Zao said: "If you, Old Chu, had acquired that skill, it would have been equivalent to a deflagration jet with unlimited fuel."

Chu Zihang's eyes became slightly more lively.

Infinite blue bars, cheating in reality?
Sounds very attractive.

"It's about 500 meters down and we'll reach the destination. Be careful."

Lu Zao glanced ahead and said, "Warm reminder, there is a beast corresponding to the capture level next to each type of coffee bean, and those beasts feed on pests and other creatures that want to capture the coffee beans."

Lu Mingfei asked: "Brother Zao, this tree is the gem mine itself. Does it have such a thing as a capture level?"

"Yes, and it's quite high, capture level 65."

Lu Zao said: "This level of capture involves the livelihoods of an entire town and a large number of gourmets, and the geological location of this thing is no different from a volcano."

"If we act rashly, there will be a massive earthquake and very serious economic impact. This capture level is given based on this impact. The Gem Coffee Tree itself has no offensive capabilities."

"We are here. In front of us is the place where ruby ​​coffee beans can be mined."

Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei looked up and found that they could clearly see the rock wall of the mine tunnel ahead, or rather, the rubies inside the crystal wall that looked like veins and branches.

Chu Zihang: "It's like amber, but it's probably much more expensive than amber."

If you are short of money, I think you can just knock off a piece and sell it for a good price.

"Something's wrong, brother."

Lu Mingfei asked: "Look at that thing hanging on the trunk, does it look like a snake?"

Chu Zihang lit up his golden pupil, and sure enough, something moved on the branches inside the crystal wall.

【Ingredients: Ruby Snake】

[Capture Level: 3]

[It has venom that can crystallize other creatures, and it is extremely fast. Under its gem-like shell is delicious and chewy snake meat]

Lu Zao raised his hand: "I will show you the picking process, please watch carefully."

"Food Skill: Bone-Chopping Knife."

Seeing Lu Zao's hand cut through the crystal wall easily, Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei instantly realized that they had seen this move before.

"The only way to avoid alarming the ruby ​​snake is to make less noise. You can also think of it as silent drilling in industrial operations."

Lu Zao said softly, "Our target is to capture 100 kilograms of ruby ​​coffee beans. Because of the special nature of this ingredient, one coffee bean weighs half a kilogram." "Even if you can drill silently, you must do it within your ability during the picking process, otherwise any extra movement will alert the ruby ​​snake."

Lu Zao's hand gently swept across the branches, grasped the crystal clear ruby ​​in his hand, and then quietly retracted it.

Lu Mingfei had a strange look in his eyes. He felt that the posture that Zao Ge had just demonstrated to them was very much like a tomb robber reaching directly into a coffin to fish out treasure.

Chu Zihang began to think about his own force techniques. To put it simply, this picking action is like stretching the arm forward, then holding the weapon and keeping it in one position.

For example, the "arm plank" that can train arm strength and perception seems to be the basic skill of some cold weapons on Earth.

If your hands are not steady, the long snake two or three meters away will rush over in an instant.

"I'll try."

Following the hole made by Lu Zao, Chu Zihang gently picked up a coffee bean and squeezed it, and he immediately had an idea in his mind.

It has a hardness above the normal level, and unlike ordinary coffee beans, ruby ​​coffee beans have sharp edges and corners, like real gems.

In other words, if you want to pick a lot of coffee beans at once, you must pay attention to the coffee beans in your hand to avoid the sound caused by collision.

Chu Zihang is very cautious, and years of practicing kendo are enough to give him a high level of control over his body.

After confirming that his palm could not hold any more ruby ​​coffee beans silently, Chu Zihang decisively withdrew his hand and spread it out to take a look.

"Eight, that's still a little short. So, how did you manage to fill a handful of coffee beans without making any noise, Old Lu?"

"Practice more. It will be good for you to control the weapon."

Lu Mingfei leaned closer and said, "Brother, you seem to be used to calling me Brother Zao, Lao Lu now."

Chu Zihang was surprised: "Should I say that your focus is a little weird, or that you are more careful."

Lu Mingfei chuckled: "Well, you don't have to worry about these details, brother."

Chu Zihang nodded: "But you are right about this point."

“The whole new world sparks my curiosity, or makes me feel more relaxed.”

"Also, I have already vaguely felt the appetite energy that Lao Lu mentioned. Appetite has stimulated my curiosity and also made me feel relaxed and happy."

Chu Zihang patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder.

"Go ahead and try it. Pick more and bring them back. Don't you want to taste what coffee ground from ruby ​​coffee beans tastes like?"

Lu Mingfei grinned and said, "Leave it to me, brother."

boom!
Lu Mingfei was so scared that he immediately pulled his hands back, holding both weapons tightly in his hands.

Chu Zihang frowned: "Explosion sound, down below."

Lu Zao looked strange: "Xiaolu, your food luck seems to be very good."

Lu Mingfei subconsciously looked inside the crystal wall.

"Eh? The snake is gone?"

Chu Zihang understood: "The people below don't have Lao Lu's skills. They are probably using a very violent method like blasting to mine coffee beans. The ruby ​​snake should be protecting its habitat."

"Old Lu, if you open your mouth a few more times, we can take this opportunity to complete this commission in a short time."

Lu Mingfei blinked.

I have good food luck, and a lot of it?

Oh shit, how come I became a mascot again!
