New Century Kitchen Warrior

Chapter 196 Magic and Dinner

When he returned to the tribe, combined with Roxie's explanation, Lei Ye understood the eyes of the elves in the tribe.

Sure enough, there was a vague feeling that I was looking at a scumbag.

Lei Ye didn't care about it. He just did his best and let justice prevail in the hearts of the people. The two scouts he rescued had already become his fans. As expected, the elders didn't send anyone to rescue them. They seemed to have expected this and were very grateful to Lei Ye for his unexpected help.

As for the magic course, it went smoothly. After returning to the tribe, Roxie took Lei Ye directly to the place where the elves practiced magic.

It is far away from the tribe, in a wooden pavilion, where the elves practice magic.

The elder teaching today is a unique kind of wood magic.

【Photosynthetic conversion】

Drain the vitality of nearby plants and convert it into your own physical strength.

Although it is an auxiliary magic, it is a compulsory course for elves. As long as they learn this trick, the elves can fight in the big forest without worrying about their physical strength.

However, this move requires a very high affinity for wood magic. Most of the elves present were frowning and had a headache about this magic.

Lei Ye glanced at Nadori in his arms.

He is very good at converting his own vitality into the physical strength of plants.

He glanced at the surrounding forest again.

He didn't understand how to use the vitality of plants to transform his own physical strength.

He was at the very back, sitting cross-legged with Roxie.

Speaking of which, although it is a world of swords and magic, he really hasn't found the way to learn magic. In the beginning, he only learned a low-level magic called Lightning Arrow, which was convenient and easy to use. Later, due to his low total magic power, he simply gave up practicing magic. At most, he learned some swordsmanship from the fake hero.

What happened next was the appearance of Buyadi. Lei Ye learned a special-level magic not long after. At first, she thought it might be because he had an affinity for electric magic, so he learned it very quickly, but in fact, she didn't find it difficult to learn super-level magic later.

So is learning magic a difficult thing? Lei Ye remembered that there was a magician's academy in this world. There were many crazy magicians in it. They spent their entire lives seeking the end of magic, that is, super-level magic, but they could not even master a special magic before they died.

I think it's right. The power of super-level magic is no different from that of a nuclear bomb. If it could be learned easily, wouldn't the world have been in chaos long ago?

and so.

Am I really that one in a million genius?
Lei Ye calmed down and tried to use magic to build a connection with the nearby plants as the teaching elder said.

Oh, that’s kind of the feeling.

"Oh, Mr. Lei Ye, you're here." At this time, the voice of the teaching elder interrupted him, her voice a little unnatural.

Lei Ye was a little unhappy that he was interrupted just as he arrived. He opened his eyes and looked over there, and found that it was one of the youngest elf elders he had seen last night.

Lei Ye's gaze became sharp.

The elder shrank back slightly, his face flushed, and he subconsciously adjusted his skirt.

"If you join the course midway, you won't hear the basic part, and the rest will be even more obscure. Also, this magic is more suitable for the elves' physique, and it's difficult for ordinary people to learn. But it doesn't matter. The course will end soon and another kind of magic will be taught. Just wait for a while. You can start practicing from the beginning for the next magic."

"Yeah." Lei Ye responded.

It sounds difficult, but Lei Ye thinks it's actually okay.

Besides, you can learn the elves' magic or not. This was just a pretext to integrate into the elven tribe at the beginning. It doesn't matter.

The other elves who were in class turned around and looked at Lei Ye. Their gazes were not very friendly. Noticing this, Nadori became agitated in her chest and waved her branches. If she could speak, Lei Ye guessed that she would have been scolding those people.

Lei Ye casually stroked Nadori, closed his eyes silently and continued to meditate.

Bathed in the deepest magic of nature, I tried to communicate with plants again.

He has realized that the key to this magic is not the magic power, but a heart that communicates with plants. The so-called transformation of vitality into physical strength is not by forcible plunder, but by borrowing after communicating with plants.

And Lei Ye just happens to have a heart that is willing to communicate with plants.

At this moment of enlightenment, Lei Ye vaguely heard the girl's whisper.

"Woo gu, give birth. Please forgive me, I don't want to get pregnant again."

He opened his eyes and looked at Nadori.

The voice did not come from Nadori.

Looking at the elves, they had already turned their heads away in boredom and no one was looking at him.

So Lei Ye slowly looked further away in the direction where the sound came from.

That is the Elf Mother Tree.

Today's class is over.

Taking classes with the elves, Lei Ye actually regained some of the feeling of going to school in his hometown. The elves also have good students and poor students, and it is easy to tell who is meditating seriously and who is secretly sleeping.

So he was not angry even though the elves secretly suspected that Lei Ye was a scumbag. These elves who had never left the forest in their lives were just children. How could Lei Ye be angry with children?

It's like when a bunch of young kids come to your house during the Chinese New Year and make a lot of noise. You might be a little annoyed but too lazy to argue with them. But if you are typing and hear relatives in the living room say, "Don't be like that kid in someone's family who is in his twenties and still has no partner and is sitting at home on New Year's Eve," the nature of the situation is completely different.

However, looking at these elves, Lei Ye couldn't help but think of another elf.

This is the forest of the elves, which is equivalent to their home. Here they can live like children, but if they leave the forest and go to the human world, they will be regarded as adult humans by default. Their mental immaturity does not affect their responsibility for the wrong things they do.

If Lei Ye had known this earlier, he would have approached Luoya in a different way.

At this moment he was queuing up with the elves.

After the afternoon classes, there was dinner, which was free for students and Lei Ye could also have a meal.

Out of pure curiosity, he wanted to know what the elves ate.

What he received was a herbal soup in a small wooden bowl and some cooked fruits.

It looked bad and tasted even worse. Lei Ye didn't want to eat any more after just one bite, but it was difficult to put it into the storage bag because the elf in charge of food was watching him.

In this tribe, wooden bowls are also a precious resource. The elves have to stand aside and finish their meals quickly, then wash the bowls and return them to the people waiting in line behind them.

So this bowl of mine has been used by countless beautiful elf girls.
Lei Ye shook his head and gritted his teeth to finish the remaining food. Fortunately, the elves didn't have a big appetite, and the food was so little that Lei Ye doubted whether he could be full.

He glanced at the state of the other elves and judging by their slender waists, he guessed that they were not getting enough to eat.

This is quite reasonable. More than two hundred elves are actually a lot of people, and there are not many fruit trees around.

The most abundant resource in the Great Forest is edible monster meat. If these elves could eat meat, there would be no such worries.

After thinking for a while, Lei Ye returned the bowls and chopsticks and added a new stall to the side. He waved his hand and called Roxie who was queuing in the back. "You haven't eaten yet, have this."

A bowl of vegetarian noodles was placed on the table in front of Roxie, steaming hot.

Roxie was finally able to get to the front of the line. When she was called away, she subconsciously rubbed her hungry stomach. The next second, she saw Lei Ye's noodles and her saliva flowed unconsciously.

"Is this really okay? I was embarrassed that I didn't pay last time, and now I have to..."

"Then if you stop your patrol work and run errands for me, will the elders pay you?" Lei Ye asked.

"There is no salary during the internship period, only meals are provided."

"Damn, they exploit people like this! I thought this was a primitive society, but after all this time I found out it's a slave society. Eat! How can you work for me and not skip meals? Here, this is your salary for this month!" Lei Ye slammed the table, and five large silver coins fell on it.

Hearing this, Roxie was stunned.

Even the movement of slurping noodles became stiff.

When Lei Ye invited him to have the first bowl of noodles, she could still understand it. It was a testimony of friendship for a new friend.

She was a little confused about why he asked her for a second bowl of noodles, because he had just helped her save those colleagues and she was worrying about how to repay him.

These five large silver coins left Roxie completely confused.

At this moment, a flash of lightning flashed through her mind, and Luokexi understood.

Does he like me?

At the same time, Lei Ye waved his hand, and more than a dozen small tables were neatly placed out. This was another extreme use of space. The small tables appeared out of thin air close to the ground, and there was not even any sound of collision when they fell and hit the ground.

Where Lei Ye couldn't see, Hefes walked out of his cabin with a radio, and stared at Lei Ye from a distance under the command of some instructions.

Lei Ye started to cook noodles skillfully.

There is a lot of stock in the storage bag, but it is more reassuring to cook and eat it immediately. Besides, it is really not difficult to cook it.

As the fragrance wafted out, two elves came over soon. These two people were the daytime scouts. Because of what happened, they got the longest two days of vacation in their lives, so they didn't have to wait for the shift change and could come directly to have dinner.

Following the scent, I happened to see Lei Ye here. He was curious and came over to thank him.

"Thank you so much for what happened today, Mr. Lei Ye. If it weren't for you, it would have taken at least a month for the two of us to be rescued."

"Yes, one month," another elf sneered and said angrily, "In that case, what's the point of rescuing him? His life in the tribe will probably be more miserable than death. Anyway, I have thought it through. I will not eat the holy fruit this year. After my internship is over in a few years, I will leave the forest and go to the outside world."

"Well, it's better not to eat the holy fruit." Lei Ye responded while sprinkling seasoning into the pot.

"Hey, Mr. Lei Ye, you know the holy fruit. You can try it. It has no effect on races other than elves, and it tastes delicious. If you want, I can secretly give you my share."

"Yes, yes. We two really hope that you can leave some good memories here. It's really annoying to hear many elves discussing you and Loya. Everyone knows that child's bad temper. She was only a teenager when she left the tribe. How could she tell the good from the bad? But I can see that you are a really good person. Ah, what is this? It smells so good from just now."

They looked at the noodles in the pot.

Very good, now we are getting to the point. Lei Ye divided the food into two portions without saying a word, placed them on the table at one side, and motioned for the other party to come and sit down.

Seeing that the other party was stunned and motionless, he quickly moved behind them, gently pushed them over, and pressed them on the seat.

"I'll treat you to this bowl. Can you help me decide how much a bowl of noodles would cost if I were to open a noodle shop here?"

"It's better not to treat us casually," Roxie, who had come to her senses from some kind of thinking, said suddenly without waiting for the two to answer, "Mr. Lei Ye, you still don't know much about elves. Treating us is like, if people misunderstand it as 'I will take care of your meals from now on', it will be terrible."

She sighed, "It's really easy to misunderstand, but this bowl of noodles will really be a good business in the tribe. How about selling it for five large copper coins?"

Lei Ye really couldn't tell whether it was a misunderstanding or not.

After all, when I treated Luoya to her first bowl of noodles, she showed off without any shyness.

The pricing that Roxie mentioned is quite interesting.

Five large copper coins.

It's a bit low. For Lei Ye, this price is actually nothing and may even be a bit expensive. However, people who have eaten Lei Ye's food always think that the food made by Lei Ye will be sold at a very high price, and Roxie even made this offer with gritted teeth.

Forget it, I don’t expect to make any money in this place. Besides, I’m not here to make money. Lei Ye took out a cardboard, wrote a few words on it, and stood it aside.

Leiye vegetarian noodles in clear soup: one large copper coin per bowl.

Ten yuan for a bowl of noodles is a reasonable price even in my hometown.

As soon as the sign was put up, an elf came over to watch the fun, fumbled in the small wallet he carried with him, and took out copper coins from it.

“Is this noodles?”

"Ah."

"It smells so good. I've tried some human food from traveling merchants before. It was delicious but too expensive. And it didn't smell this good. You shouldn't have hidden any meat in it."

"No, vegan."

After several such conversations, people started buying Lei Ye's noodles and sitting aside to eat.

Someone screamed.

Someone's clothes burst.

Lei Ye didn't even look at her, he couldn't help but ask Luokexi.

"Why can't the elves eat meat? Is it a physical problem or something?"

It’s definitely not a physical problem, Luoya eats it very happily.

"You can't eat meat because it contains a lot of impurities. The secret to the elves' longevity is to be a vegetarian for a long time."

This reason is even more nonsense.

After hearing this, Lei Ye was too lazy to continue asking questions. He just lit another pot and started cooking the meat.

byd will give you some delicious food today.

Pork, sauerkraut, and vermicelli.

After hesitating for a moment, Lei Ye even took out his treasured soy sauce from the deepest part of his storage bag and poured a little into the pot.

And at this moment, he felt a strong gaze, he looked up suddenly and saw Hephis standing at the door.

But this gaze did not only come from her. Lei Ye looked around and the strange gaze seemed to come from the air. The object of the gaze was not directed at Lei Ye, but seemed to be staring at the pot in front of Lei Ye.
