A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

Yang Lei chuckled and said that he would ask the staff to give him an estimate so he could calculate how much gold he needed to exchange for how much money he would need to spend.

"Please wait a moment."

The staff even changed their attitude, greeting Yang Lei respectfully before getting up and running inside. Soon after, they brought over the bank's top executive.

"This is the honored guest, please come this way."

The person in charge immediately led Yang Lei away from the crowded lobby, and the two went to a quieter meeting room next door to negotiate.

I don't know what they talked about, but more than an hour later they came out again (good, good), their faces full of satisfaction. It seems they were very satisfied with the deal.

"One thousand yen should be enough."

The credit card in Yang Lei's hand has been changed from the original ordinary card to the highest-level black credit card. This type of card no longer has any restrictions and can be overdrawn and spent without limit.

Not only that, but there's already an extra 1,000 yen in my card.

Based on normal conversion units, one trillion is a trillion, and one trillion trillion is a kyat. Yang Lei now has a full 1,000 kyat yen. His net worth cannot be simply expressed by the word "rich".

However, although this money may seem like a lot, it can be spent very quickly. After all, this world is different from other worlds. A seemingly insignificant piece of raw meat could cost tens of millions of yen, or even hundreds of millions.

Therefore, Yang Lei didn't feel that he had enough money to spend; he said, "It should be enough."

0475 World Kitchen!

After exchanging money and getting a credit card, Yang Lei finally had an identity in this world.

Next, he found himself a house in the shortest amount of time. It was a large villa in the suburbs, and because of its poor location, the price was very cheap.

Of course, Yang Lei wasn't interested in this because of the price. He's so rich now, how could he possibly be short of money?

He mainly wanted to live somewhere away from the hustle and bustle, which is why he bought a house here.

After buying a house, you'll naturally need to buy other things, such as furniture, transportation, and communication tools.

The world of Gourmet Devil is a high-tech civilization. It not only has modern buildings, but also all kinds of modern tools, and even spaceships. It is conceivable that communication tools are also plentiful.

In the original story, it was because A'lu was too lazy to use these things, and also because he genuinely couldn't get them, but that doesn't mean he didn't have them.

After buying all these things, Yang Lei could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Then, he realized that it was almost evening.

Chapter 554

"Let's go to 'World Kitchen' again and buy some ingredients to make dinner."

World Kitchen is the name of a food wholesale market. It has earned this reputation because of its huge trading volume and the fact that the buyers and sellers are located all over the world.

The World Kitchen isn't exactly close to Yang Lei's city, but it's not too far either. If he were to use the World Kitchen car to get there, it would only take a few hours.

If you fly, the time is even shorter, taking only half an hour to arrive.

Yang Lei didn't drive or take a plane; he flew there himself, which was much faster, and he arrived at the entrance of World Kitchen in less than a few minutes.

At this time, the market is almost closing. World Kitchen sells ingredients, and the busiest time here is early morning. You can't find any high-end ingredients now.

Yang Lei didn't care about this. His food cells were still at a low level, having only just awakened, and he needed a lot of low-grade ingredients to slowly cultivate them.

As a result, he had a pleasant time strolling around the market.

He was especially delighted when he discovered that he could use Wood Release chakra to quickly cultivate plant-based ingredients.

Think about it, wouldn't that mean that as long as he discovers a certain plant-based ingredient, he only needs to cultivate the seeds and keep them by his side, so that he can cultivate it whenever he wants to eat it?

This is truly an unexpected delight.

Later, when he saw bottled water for sale in the market, he was initially curious: why are there people selling water? That's strange.

He later learned that this water was not ordinary water, but a high-grade water source known as "air water".

Yang Lei then realized that water could also be a high-grade ingredient. After scanning it, he was surprised to find that his Eye of Insight had completely analyzed the composition of air and water.

In other words, he can now create large amounts of water-air using water-style ninjutsu whenever he wants.

"How so?"

Yang Lei found it both funny and absurd. His ninjutsu, which he originally used to fight enemies, had now become a source of renewable energy for food, which he found very strange.

However, he will still continue to collect seeds when necessary, and he will not hesitate to search for high-quality water and oil when needed.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Lei had been wandering around the World Kitchen for more than two hours. It was no longer evening; it was completely dark now.

"That should be enough."

Yang Lei glanced at his personal space, which was out of sight of others. Although he wasn't carrying anything in his hands, a small mountain of ingredients had already piled up inside.

"That's enough for my dinner."

Yang Lei muttered to himself, wondering what others would think if they knew he had bought a small mountain of ingredients just to prepare for one dinner tonight, and that he would be eating it all by himself.

Having bought a large quantity of ingredients for dinner, and with World Kitchen about to close, Yang Lei was finally getting up to leave.

After leaving the "705u.com - Book Club Launch" gate of World Kitchen, he didn't rush home. Instead, he hailed a taxi outside the gate and asked the driver to take him to the nearest library, hoping to buy more books about the world to read at home.

World Kitchen is a food market, so it's conceivable that even if there are other shops around, there shouldn't be a library.

As everyone knows, libraries are all about quiet and peaceful places.

The world kitchen is a huge market, how could it possibly be quiet?

So, the taxi took Yang Lei through the streets and alleys for more than an hour before finally finding a library.

Yang Lei glanced at the closed library, then looked up at the stars in the sky, and was speechless.

It's already nine or ten o'clock. Unless it's a library that's open 24 hours and has a cafe inside, it has to close.

Can I get my money back?

Yang Lei asked the driver, "Actually, I don't need the money. I'm just bored and having some fun."

The driver was speechless. He had mentioned on the way that the library might be closed at this time, but the man insisted on coming anyway, saying it was fine.

In the end, Yang Lei still paid. He wasn't short of money, and he wasn't making a wasted trip. He was there to leave his coordinates so that he could teleport back to any place he had been to.

The so-called instantaneous teleportation is actually the Flying Thunder God Technique. Because it has been improved several times, the current Flying Thunder God Technique is no longer recognizable as it was originally. That's why Yang Lei renamed it, thinking that "instantaneous teleportation" is easier to pronounce and also saves one word from the word "water".

After that, Yang Lei no longer needed a taxi. He strolled under the streetlights and went into a nearby upscale department store that was open 24 hours a day.

Upon arriving at the department store, Yang Lei headed straight for the kitchenware section. After browsing around for a while, his shopping cart was already filled with all sorts of high-end kitchen utensils.

Yang Lei has finished furnishing the house he bought. It has everything, from furniture to transportation, but it just doesn't have any kitchenware.

It wasn't that he forgot; rather, he had considered whether he should use these ordinary kitchen utensils for now, or go straight into the culinary world and get a set of gold kitchen utensils to play with.

Later, he gave up his plan to enter the culinary world. He was afraid that he would not be able to resist the temptation of food and what if he indulged in a big feast in the culinary world?

His culinary skills are still in their early stages—no, they've only just begun to awaken. He has to proceed step by step; otherwise, he'll regret it terribly if he overdoes it.

That's why he's only now buying kitchenware.

After buying the kitchenware, Yang Lei finally had no more time to waste. He snapped his fingers as usual and returned home feeling relaxed.

Then, he took out the kitchen utensils he had bought from his personal space, then took out various seasonings, and finally found all the ingredients. He was finally ready to start cooking.

0476 Gourmet Cell Evolution Level 1

Because his culinary instincts had only just awakened, and because he arrived too late, the large amount of ingredients Yang Lei bought from World Kitchen were all low-grade ingredients.

Even the highest-grade Baron Tiger leg meat is only a level three ingredient.

Because of his low level, Yang Lei spent very little money, only tens of millions of yen, which was just a drop in the ocean.

It has to be said that most of the money was spent on the leg meat of the Baron tiger.

Chapter 555

Regardless of how late it was, he grabbed the kitchen utensils and started cooking.

However, it must be said that he does lack experience. He has only read a lot of books on cooking in theory, but has never practiced it. This is his first time cooking.

Fortunately, he remained calm and composed, and even if he made a mistake, he was able to make up for it as quickly as possible, so the ingredients were not wasted.

Moreover, after a night of fuss, the mountain of ingredients was not wasted. Not only did it allow his golden gourmet cells to successfully evolve to a higher level, but it also put his culinary skills into practice.

"From now on, I'm a super chef too."

Yang Lei spoke arrogantly, and it's unclear what he was thinking. He had only cooked some low-grade ingredients and was still a long way from being a so-called super chef.

However, he did have a considerable knowledge of culinary arts, encompassing the essence of both East and West. Whether it was the eight major cuisines of the East, the French royal banquets of the West, Japanese cuisine, or famous dishes from other countries, he had a broad understanding of them all.

After all, he's always been a foodie, just never cooked for himself, but he's quite particular about food.

"The food cells have evolved to the next level."

Putting aside his culinary skills, Yang Lei sat at the dining table, which was a complete mess. He had cooked and eaten all the mountain of ingredients.

At this moment, Yang Lei opened the attribute panel and noticed that as the food cell evolved to a higher level, all attributes changed again.

Previously, when he first awakened the Golden Gourmet Cells, his four attributes were: Constitution 7 million 1,000 points, Strength 10 million 1,000 points, Agility 8 million 1,000 points, and Spirit 6 million 1,000 points.

Now, because the Golden Gourmet Cell has evolved to the next level, its four attributes have become: Constitution 7 million 600 points, Strength 10 million 600 points, Agility 8 million 600 points, and Spirit 6 million 600 points.

"So, when you awaken, all your attributes increase by 100 points, and when you evolve to level one, all your attributes increase by 500 points?"

After a simple calculation, Yang Lei couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

This is only the first level, but the benefits I've gained are already far greater than when I was first awakened.

While the growth rate certainly won't continue to be this exaggerated in the future, it shouldn't be too low either.

Especially since this is only the first level, and he evolved simply by eating a large amount of low-grade ingredients.

"So it seems that way."

Yang Lei's mind raced, and he muttered to himself, "My golden gourmet cells have great potential."

"Perhaps it can eventually evolve to more than ten levels. At that time, the increase in all attributes for each level would probably be a very considerable number."

"After all, it's only a level 5 or lower ingredient right now, while in this world, the highest ingredient levels are worth tens of thousands."

Thinking of this, he looked up at the ceiling, his eyes flashed, and he activated the Mangekyou Sharingan, using the eye technique of the Space Eye. He easily folded countless spaces and looked directly at the scene of outer space.

In the vastness of outer space, there were not only stars, but also countless terrifyingly powerful beasts roaming about.

These are all terrifying behemoths that can survive in the void. According to Yang Lei's guess, there are probably tens of thousands of them, even the lowest level ones.

Not only that, some stars are even a kind of food in themselves. For example, in a certain star field, those white planets are like white jade dumplings.

In another distant star system, several planets are linked together, like a skewer of grilled meat.

Among the stars, juice or wine is constantly churning.

總之。

"This is truly a world full of anticipation."

Yang Lei couldn't help but sigh, feeling that whether from the perspective of the evolution of food cells or simply from the perspective of eating, this is a world that fills him with anticipation.

There are so many unexpected delicacies waiting for him to try here.

"I've caught fire."

Yang Lei suddenly remembered Natsu's line and couldn't help but burst into laughter. Then, with a wave of his hand, he restored the previously messy kitchen and restaurant to their original state, got up, and walked upstairs.

It's almost midnight now, and he needs to go upstairs to catch up on some sleep. He'll go to World Kitchen again first thing tomorrow morning.

As I just mentioned, whether it's for the evolution of food cells or just from a foodie's perspective, the world's kitchens nowadays are captivating.

The main reason is that he can't be too impatient right now. He can't eat high-grade ingredients right away. He has to take it step by step, so he can only go to the World Kitchen more often.

. . . . . .

At 6:30 in the morning, Yang Lei had to get up after only a short time of sleep.

He only slept for a little over four hours, which shows that he really wasted a lot of time last night.

You do the math. He got home around 10 or 11 pm last night and went to sleep around 2 am. He spent those hours cooking and eating.

Especially since he has shadow clones to help with cooking, meaning he spends most of his time eating, he truly deserves to be called a foodie.

After getting up, Yang Lei quickly washed up and then set off.

This time, he no longer needed to fly around like yesterday; with a thought, he arrived at the entrance of the World Kitchen.

The World Kitchen is a huge food market. If someone suddenly appears, even if people around feel something is strange, they won't notice anything.

Yang Lei wasn't afraid of being discovered. He stood at the door and glanced inside, discovering that the World Kitchen in the early morning was indeed different from that in the evening.
