Superbase Evolution

Chapter 1181 Sharpening the Knife
"How do I eat this?" Lin Shen looked at the Kaio Fruit in his hand, not knowing whether he should eat the skin or peel it first.

The shell of the Kaio Fruit is very hard to pinch, so it is estimated that it will most likely be peeled before eating, but who knows if this kind of natural treasure will be eaten in an unconventional way.

What if this shell embodies all the essence of the world, and he eats what's inside and throws away the shell? Isn't that like buying the box and returning the pearl?

Xiaoye and Xiaona didn't know how to eat it either. They only knew that it was the Kaio Fruit, but they had never heard of such details as how to eat it.

Another arrow appeared in the sky, instructing them to keep moving forward, but fortunately there was no time countdown, so there was no need to rush to the next level.

"Since there is no special method of consumption, it should be the same as the consumption of ordinary fruits. You peel the shell and eat the flesh inside first. If that doesn't work, it's not too late to find a way to eat the shell." Ouyang Yudu said.

Lin Shen thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he stopped hesitating and wanted to pierce the shell with his fingertips like hooks to peel off the outer shell.

When Lin Shen's power attribute was fully unleashed, it was not inferior to that of a higher-level god. With such terrifying power, he failed to pierce the skin, and did not even leave any trace.

"So hard!" Lin Shen was a little surprised. He wanted to use the properties of the Super Basic Shooting to break through the shell, but he was afraid of damaging the flesh inside.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Shen took out a slag knife and used it as a saw to saw the outer shell of the fruit.

The hardness of the slag knife is truly amazing. It is difficult to find anything harder than it, even in the Immortal Court.

Lin Shen was very skeptical that the Ten Directions God and Ghost-Slaying Sword in the world might not be as hard as it was, and might even be much weaker.

Lin Shen sawed hard a few times, but only a small amount of powder was ground off. It seemed that the hardness of the shell of the Kaio Fruit was very close to that of a slag knife, so the effect was so poor.

Fortunately, there was some effect. Lin Shen used all his strength to saw and grind for a long time, but only a shallow white mark was left on the outer shell.

The irregular protrusions on the blade of the slag knife were actually polished to a shine.

"Is it so hard?" It was the first time that Lin Shen saw the slag knife damaged. If he continued to grind it like this, he wondered if the irregular slag spots on the slag knife would be smoothed out.

Once it is worn flat, the sawing function of the slag knife will be gone. In addition, the slag knife itself has no blade, so it can only be used as an ordinary stick.

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Shen decided to continue sawing. As Lin Shen continued to saw hard, the white mark on the fruit shell gradually became darker, and the blade of the saw gradually became brighter. It was more like they were wearing each other out rather than the sawing the fruit shell.

As the scraps on the blade are smoothed out, the sawing effect becomes worse and worse. When the entire blade becomes as bright as a mirror and there are no scraps at all, it is almost useless.

The marks on the shell were two or three millimeters deep, but the flesh was still not visible.

"It doesn't work. The teeth of the blade are worn out and it can't be opened." Lin Shen said somewhat depressed.

"The knife... has no blade... to open... the fruit shell..." Wei Wufu said.

After hearing Wei Wufu's words, Lin Shen was stunned at first, but then he was immediately happy when he realized what was going on.

Wei Wufu's idea of reversing thinking does make some sense.

Before, there was nothing that could sharpen the slag knife, so the slag knife had never been sharpened. Now that the fruit shell can be used to sharpen the slag knife, I can use the fruit shell to sharpen the slag knife.

After being reminded by Lao Wei, Lin Shen thought that since it had come to this, he might as well use the fruit shell as a whetstone to sharpen the blade of the knife.

Lin Shen put the fruit shell away and used it to sharpen his knife. Fortunately, Lin Shen had learned knife making from Tianxia, so his knife sharpening skills were not as good as Tianxia's, but they were still acceptable.

Lin Shen sharpened the knife little by little, and the blade became thinner and thinner, and the fruit shell also gradually became thinner, just like a worn whetstone.

I originally thought that the texture of the slag knife was so rough that it would definitely not be able to be sharpened into a fine edge. It would be fine if it was slightly sharpened. Even if it was sharpened into a serrated edge, it would be better than having no edge at all.

But as he sharpened it, Lin Shen discovered that the texture of the slag knife was not as rough as he had imagined.

After the slag particles on the surface are ground away, the slag particles below are arranged and combined more and more tightly. After continuous grinding, the granular structure can no longer be seen. The blade is ground like a mercury mirror, with such fineness that the structure cannot be seen, and all kinds of details of the outside world can be reflected very clearly and delicately.

The slag knife was too long and the fruit shell was too small, so Lin Shen had to grind it in sections. After grinding for a while, he found that the iron-carrying ability of the fruit shell had become much weaker. Instead, the fruit shell was constantly worn out, and dents gradually formed at the grinding point.

Lin Shen could only continue grinding. There was less and less iron under the blade, but the dent on the shell became deeper and deeper.

Suddenly, Lin Shen, who was sharpening the knife, felt an unusual sensation in his hand, as if there was a gap on the blade while he was sharpening it.

Lin Shen subconsciously raised the knife and immediately saw a crack on the fruit shell, from which a sparkling liquid like a clear spring spurted out.

The speed was so fast that Lin Shen had no time to react and was sprayed all over the face.

This scared everyone. At such a fast speed, even a drop of water could blow up a planet. Such a flash of liquid sprayed on Lin Shen's face, it might even explode his head.

Fortunately, what they worried about did not happen. After the flashing liquid was sprayed on Lin Shen's face, it did not produce any strong destructive power, but only sprayed on his face.

Lin Shen's body was strong enough and he didn't feel any pain. He reached out to wipe the liquid that sprayed on his face, but found something wrong.

He could not feel the touch of the liquid, but instead felt the elasticity of rubber. The liquid in the fruit shell had solidified in such a short time, covering Lin Shen's face like a translucent soft elastic mask. The surface was a little uneven due to the uneven flow, but the facial features were still highlighted as a whole.

To others, it looked like a crudely made white plastic mask.

Lin Shen wanted to tear this thing off his face, but after using force, he felt that his skin was about to be torn off, but this thing seemed to be stuck with super adhesive and could not be torn off.

No matter how hard Lin Shen squeezed and pulled, the deformed mask couldn't be removed.

"Look at the fruit shells..." Dies seemed to have discovered something and said, pointing at the fruit shells on the ground.

Everyone looked down and saw that the originally hard red fruit shell had not only become soft, but had also begun to rot.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Isn't Kaio Fruit edible? How did it become like this?

Everyone used all their abilities to help Lin Shen, trying to get the solidified liquid off his face. They originally thought that they could just peel off a layer of skin on Lin Shen's face and then remove the mask.

It turned out that the solidified liquid seemed to have penetrated into Lin Shen's flesh and could not be pulled off at all.
