New Century Kitchen Warrior

Chapter 80: Ask for scales from the rich monster!

“It’s this lake again.”

Lesta looked around and sighed.

Yes, it’s this lake again.

The complete version of the intelligence recovery potion requires materials from a monster called the Water Monster. Lei Ye has an impression of this monster. It is also a monster on the Sese monster ranking list, but its ranking is lower than the pink lizard.

This lake is really full of talented people.

The word "abundance" sounds like some kind of harmless monster, but it is said that this monster will disguise itself as a drowning girl to attract passers-by to help, and then it will immediately drag the passers-by into the water, drown them, and eat them.

So conquering it can be regarded as getting rid of harm for the people. However, according to the Holy Sword, the abundant water monsters in this world have been conquered to the point where there are only a few left, and they are on the verge of extinction. The one in the lake near Ai'er's house should be one of the last few in the Frey Empire.

In other words, even if you get the materials, you only have one chance to refine them, so you have to be serious when the time comes.

"By the way, I wonder which maid is in charge of this job. It's really hard work."

Lei Ye also looked around with Lesta, looking at the small flags inserted on the road. The intervals between these small flags were about fifty meters.

For some reason I had the illusion of returning to campus to prepare for the sports meet.

"Oh, this thing tastes so good, ha."

Gratini behind him didn't pay much attention to the small flags. She was just obsessed with finishing the small snack bars in her hands, wiping the sweat from her forehead from time to time.

That was one of the new foods that Raino developed after being deeply moved by the taste of Coke:

Spicy strips.

There was no special effect, or rather, the special effect was just to make people sweat. Galatini had never sweated so much before, and it felt like her clothes were soaked.

".If you think it's spicy, stop eating it. You look terrible now."

"No, this thing makes my tongue tingle. Nothing else tastes like this. Gratini really likes the new menu of the Devil Baby!"

In fact, Lei Ye wanted to say that the child's clothes were a little transparent due to sweat.

But Galatini is different from Jiejie, she is just a pure kid, so there is nothing to see, so forget it.
No. This would be more dangerous for Lei Ye.

Lei Ye turned around and took out a few wonderful props from his storage bag.

It was three days after the banquet. Because of the pink lizard incident, Lei Ye had learned his lesson. These days, he specially tinkered with some new things to arm himself as preparation before the action.

First, a newly developed menu.

This menu is made possible thanks to the generous support of Airhome Storage Box.

【Herbal Soup】

: After use, you can breathe underwater for three hours.

A very suitable small thing for this operation, so there is no need to worry about being dragged into the water and suffocating.

The Abundant Water Monster is on the list of the most powerful monsters in the world, and her way of killing people is a bit weird, but this does not mean that she has no fighting power. On the contrary, according to the Holy Sword, the fighting power of this monster is quite brutal for Lei Ye.

So in addition to this, Lei Ye also prepared something else.

The beggar's version of the magic-driven engine - the magic-driven bomb.

It would be a waste to make a magic-driven engine specifically for the purpose of being thrown out and exploding, so Lei Ye adjusted the blueprint and transformed it into something that existed only for explosion.

The power may be much smaller, but if you use it sparingly, you won't have to worry too much about the quantity.

"Okay, I think I'm ready. How do I lure her out now? If it's a serpent monster, do I have to arrange for Lesda to pee in the lake?"

"No, this abundant water demon can't deceive people because she lives in such a remote place. She has now given up on traditional human delicacies and has switched to fish. You need to take the initiative to go into the deep water to find her like the other Lei Ye did."

"No, you should have said it earlier," Lei Ye was stunned. "I made this herbal soup just in case. If I had come here directly, I would have made a wasted trip. How should I account for it? Will you make up for the wasted time?"

"The last Lei Ye came here because he developed this kind of food, and you did the same thing. I just need to give you some appropriate hints," Shengjian smiled and said something that Lei Ye was inexplicably familiar with, "What has happened will happen again, and what has been done will be done again."

The reason I say it's familiar is not because Lei Ye likes to watch Blue Arc's cartoons, but because Buyadi seems to have said something similar.

Lei Ye curled his lips in disdain, mumbling as he poured the herbal soup into his mouth.

"According to what you said, the fertility monster here is not a bad monster, and it doesn't harm anyone. Isn't it a bad idea to just defeat her like this?"

"You need her material, don't you?"

Lei Ye paused and nodded.

That makes sense. The problem just now is something that the Monster Protection Organization should consider. It has nothing to do with Lei Ye. He just wants to kill her and get the materials.

So he handed the half-drunk herbal soup to Galatini.

The spicy strips in her hand were her hiring fee. Lei Ye asked Galatini to accompany him throughout today's operation. After all, the opponent was a relatively ferocious monster, so Lei Ye felt it would be better to have a strong bodyguard following him.

"Put away all the snacks, we're going to get in the water, Gratini."

"it is good--"

Fortunately, although I am greedy, I will not delay the important matters that have been discussed.

Seeing that Galatini was ready, Lei Ye took a deep breath and walked towards the water step by step.

Although the text description of the food displayed on the magic eye stated that the food could be used to breathe underwater, Lei Ye had never actually experienced the effect, so he was still a little nervous when he walked straight into the water.

However, as the lake water flooded his mouth, nose and head, the fear disappeared.

I didn't feel anything special, my breathing was smooth and my eyes didn't feel any discomfort.

It's amazing. Lei Ye tried to speak, but even when he opened his mouth, he didn't feel any water flowing into his mouth.

"Glatini, what do you think?"

"What? This is so fun! Look, there are so many fish on top of Galatini's head."

It seems there is no problem over there either.

The vision was relatively clear, and Lei Ye saw many small aquatic monsters under the water. As soon as those little creatures showed their faces, they immediately swam away quickly.

Maybe it's because he can see that these two people are not easy to mess with.

".It's so dark."

After diving a short distance further, Galatini suddenly said.

Going deeper underwater, the vision gradually became worse. It was dim and quiet, which reminded Lei Ye of the time when he played Subnautica. It was the same feeling when he dived into the deep sea. He always felt that a Leviathan would jump out at any time.

Even if Lei Ye took out the magic direct-spot lamp and turned it on, there was not much improvement.

The dark environment might have made Galatini a little scared. She handed her hand to Lei Ye, who held it tightly.

Snap, finally, the feeling of being on solid ground.

After all, it's just a lake. This depth is already quite deep. It would be impolite if it were any deeper.

"Where to go next?"

While pulling his feet out of the mud, Lei Ye asked the Holy Sword. The guy looked around, frowned slightly, and finally pointed in a certain direction.

"Probably this way."

Don't say 'probably'.

With some uneasiness, Lei Ye held Galatini's hand and walked in that direction.

Fortunately, it didn't take him too long to find a place that was obviously very strange.

It was a cave that had obviously been dug by humans. There were even beautiful clams as decorations at the entrance. It was not difficult to see that there was definitely a monster with high intelligence living here.

Seeing the size of the cave entrance, Lei Ye was relieved. It was called a water monster, but he didn't think it would be very big.

That’s right, after all, I have to disguise myself as a girl.

But the dark cave still looks a bit scary.

"Then, let's go in, Glattini."

"Ugh."

Lei Yeping pushed the lamp forward, and the light illuminated the interior.

It was a small room with a nasty environment.

There were quite a few leftover fish bones on the ground, and in the corner was a goblin skull with one side already eaten clean and the other side still floating with rotten flesh. Lei Ye could smell a fishy odor.

So disgusting. And in this difficult environment——

Lei Ye saw a plump girl lying on a stone bed not far away, snoring loudly.

"Yes, this is the Water Monster of Abundance. Activate the new weapon you made and throw it into the cave, and the mission will be accomplished."

The holy sword immediately appeared and pointed at her.

Such abundance!
Abundant! Really abundant! !
"Oh, so amazing, so amazing, did you see that, devil baby? Galatini has never seen such an amazing body before!"

Even Gratini beside her couldn't help but sigh.

Looking at the girl lying on the stone bed, she seemed to no longer be afraid.

Although she didn't know yet that this person was their target.

Lei Ye could understand Galatini's emotions. In the deep underwater cave, it felt like a monster might jump out at any time and scare everyone, but when he saw such a beautiful girl, the nervous feeling disappeared instantly.

Also, it’s really big, on the same level as Buyadi.

But the small frame makes the waist appear slender, and the thin branches and large fruits appear much more exaggerated visually.

"Wait a minute, isn't the material we are going to use this time the chest scales of the abundant water monster? If we blow it up directly, what should we do if the scales are shattered? Otherwise, I'd better just do it directly." Lei Ye looked at the holy sword.

That’s right, it would be a shame if that pair of treasures were blown up.

The Holy Sword stared at Lei Ye with an indescribable expression.

After a moment, she shook her head and disappeared without a word.

Lei Ye held the holy sword tightly, aimed at the chest of the Banshee, and moved forward step by step.

Oh, it's worthy of being on the monster list. The closer I get, the more I realize that this rich water monster is really a charming beauty, and her facial features perfectly meet Lei Ye's aesthetic standards.

Lei Ye glanced at Galatini. She looked at Lei Ye and then at the banshee, feeling a little sad.

Because at this moment, Lei Ye looked like he was killing a sleeping girl instead of defeating a monster.

No, we can’t leave a bad impression on the children.

After hesitating for a moment, Lei Ye held the holy sword in his backhand, stretched out his hand forward, grabbed the scales on the chest of the rich water monster, and pulled it hard.

It's a very solid scale, I couldn't pull it off.

It did wake up the fertile water fairy. She woke up from her sleep and slowly opened her eyes.

He and Lei Ye looked at each other.

".Hello."

Because it was difficult to regard the being in front of him as a monster, Lei Ye subconsciously greeted her.

"Hello. Hey, what's going on? Who are you?"

The other party looked quite confused, but responded subconsciously.

It took a few seconds to become sober.

"F-Fuck, human! Help, help, help! Someone has fallen into the water! A beautiful girl with big breasts and long legs has fallen into the water! Is there any kind-hearted person willing to save her? I don't want to die. I don't want to die. If someone is willing to save me, I am willing to give myself to them."

She immediately flapped her arms and legs and started screaming.

"This guy can actually talk."

Lei Ye was very surprised.

Just now I was wondering if it was an ordinary mimicry monster, but I didn't expect it could even speak human language and be so realistic. No wonder some people would be fooled.

It's really realistic.

"Nonsense, I'm not dumb, I'm just stupid. You're already within my attack range, you stupid human," the abundant water monster said as it pounced on him with its fangs and claws bared.

She nimbly went behind Lei Ye, hugged him, and used some kind of jutsu to tangle him to the ground.

Just holding him and lying on the ground, Lei Ye only felt that he was lying on a soft mattress, with his head sunk into a very soft place, which was quite comfortable.

Because it was very comfortable, I didn't resist.

But if he continued in this state, Gratini's innocent gaze at the side would be a bit irritating, so after several minutes, Lei Ye couldn't help asking.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm going to drown you."

The other party answered quite frankly.

Lei Ye fell silent upon hearing this, and the other party also fell silent.

After a moment, the power of the abundant water fairy loosened, and she whispered in confusion.

"Yes, yes. You are obviously a human, but you are so comfortable underwater. What's going on? You don't have the scent of other abundant water monsters, so you should not be the same kind of people who come to me to reproduce. But you can find my house. Huh? Weird. Huh?"

She was becoming increasingly confused.

For some reason, Lei Ye felt that this guy exuded a familiar stupidity, so he activated his magic eyes and took a quick look.

Intelligence: 5.

Okay, that makes sense.

There's no need to fight with this idiot, just find a way to get those scales back.

First of all--

"I'll be honest. I came here specifically for the scales on your chest. Please make an offer. I can exchange it with you for something else."

"What!? I just wanted to drown you, but you want my chest scale?!" Hearing this, the water demon covered her chest in shock and shook her head desperately, "This is a treasure that every rich water demon has only one. What should I do if I give it to you? I will be disqualified as a water demon."

I see. This thing is similar to an ID card, right?

But what’s the use of this ID card when you are almost extinct?

——Try the operation that he is most familiar with, Lei Ye thought about it and left the cave.

“Lightning Arrow!”

There were crackling sounds and several fish were electrocuted.

Then the fish that died on the spot were carried into the cave.

“Fuck!” Miss Water Fairy was stunned when she saw Lei Ye go out and come back with a lot of fish in his hands, “You, you are so good at hunting?”

When asked this question, Lei Ye was a little confused.

This is not hunting at all, it's just a simple act of electrocuting fish.

".Otherwise, you eat fish often, so how do you catch them?"

"I have a fork." She pointed to the side.

Only then did Lei Ye discover a wooden spear placed beside the bed.

Great, now I know why the Water Monster is on the verge of extinction.

It was impossible to make a fire underwater, so Lei Ye simply processed the internal organs, sprinkled some chopped green onions on them, and put them on the plate. These were the conditions for activating [Chef Man].

Then he handed over the processed fish.

"Taste it?"

"Eh? What is this? Is this for me?"

For some reason, the abundant water fairy began to squirm, and Galatini pouted her lips and approached with inexplicable unhappiness.

"Woi, I say, devil baby."

Without waiting for Galatini to finish speaking, the water fairy reached out to take the fish that Lei Ye handed over, and then took small bites of it.

Just this one bite.

She fell to the ground holding the fish with her eyes rolled back.

Twitching.
