A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

After all, Yang Lei had only been a member for a short time. He was only able to act with A Lu because of their relationship.

Now they are unsure whether or not to extend an invitation to him.

"Let me take care of it."

Finally, someone stepped forward and said, "You may not know, but Chairman Yi Long has already extended an invitation to him, wanting to meet him."

This means that Yang Lei can be trusted, at least for now, since even the chairman is very interested in him.

"understood."

. . . . . .

The maze best illustrates the saying "everything is difficult at the beginning," because once you've gone through it once, going back is very easy.

Although Yang Lei and his group did not leave any marks on the road, it didn't matter, they still came out of the cave very easily.

Back at the entrance to the cave beach, the four parted ways.

Coco rode Keith home, who had come to greet him. A-Lu and Xiao-Song took the gourmet train, while Yang Lei had the simplest option: he teleported home with a thought.

After returning home, Yang Lei didn't linger. He took the demonic serpent he had killed from his personal space, processed it briefly, and then started cooking again.

Yang Lei has two demonic serpents, but one of them doesn't belong solely to him; they are shared among the four of them. Although Coco and Xiao Song say they're not looking forward to it, don't forget there's also the gluttonous Alu.

In addition, the giant demon serpent contained cocoa toxins, so he was too lazy to slowly manipulate it. He was eager to quickly replenish the last bit of nutrition that the gourmet cells were lacking so that he could evolve again.

That's right. As he consumed large quantities of pufferfish meat, and with the help of that jar of mixed stew and sake, his gourmet cells were brought infinitely close to the edge of evolution.

Although the Demon Serpent was only level 21, Yang Lei calculated that if he ate more, he could still successfully evolve.

Even if it's just level 21 ingredients, theoretically it would exceed the current limit of ingredients he needs.

"All right."

Soon, a large piece of the demon serpent's flesh was cooked.

Because Yang Lei was in a hurry, the meat of the demon serpent was simply roasted instead of being prepared into a more complex dish.

However, don't forget that he also has shadow clones to help. Just as he was about to sit down at the table with the roasted meat, several shadow clones took over the rest of the work and quickly processed the huge snake body.

Leaving aside the shadow clones' cooking work, let's look at the main body here.

"Mmm, delicious."

The demon serpent truly lived up to its reputation as an ancient magical beast. Moreover, it was a level 21 ingredient, which made Yang Lei, who had just eaten pufferfish and whale meat, rave about it.

He quickly devoured a large piece of meat, and then ate many more dishes that his shadow clones had quickly prepared. Finally,

"...evolved."

Yang Lei chuckled softly, and then a series of crackling sounds quickly emanated from his body. His body once again emitted a golden light, much brighter than before.

"Wow."

Yang Lei closed his eyes and felt his own evolution, occasionally letting out a soft moan, as if he were enjoying it.

Finally, after the golden light quickly faded, Yang Lei opened his eyes again. A strange idea popped into his head. Using his imagination, he created a mirror for himself out of thin air. After examining his face and body, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Even my appearance is evolving towards perfection?"

It turns out that Yang Lei discovered that this evolution of the food cells had even changed his appearance, making him even more handsome than before.

The same goes for his physique. He was a bit conflicted before, feeling that 1.9 meters tall was a bit too tall, since he wasn't particularly muscular and looked like a skinny bamboo pole.

Now, his muscles, which weren't particularly prominent before, have grown considerably, still not large, but giving him a more rounded and perfect physique. (Good job, Li!)

Moreover, when Yang Lei looked inward, he discovered that his cells, flesh, and bones had changed once again, and he felt that they were about to turn golden.

"Golden blood and bones, and flesh and blood?"

Yang Lei frowned, thinking to himself, if his whole body really turned golden, would he still be considered human?

This is the fourth evolution, and Yang Lei feels that he is stronger than before.

First, his attributes have changed to: Constitution 7,016,600 points, Strength 10,016,600 points, Agility 8,016,600 points, and Spirit 6,016,600 points.

In other words, he gained an increase of 10,000 in all attributes after only his fourth evolution.

Moreover, with the further evolution of his body, he discovered that he could now exert 30% more effect on his attributes such as strength, agility, and physique, and the attribute gains from cultivation would also increase by 30%.

(PS: The Golden Gourmet Cell evolves to level four, increasing all attributes by 10,000 points. In total, it increases all attributes by 16,600 points. After the body evolves, attributes such as strength, agility, and constitution can exert their effects by 30%, and the attribute gains from cultivation will also increase by 30%.)

0494 Food Research Institute

Only three days had passed since the pufferfish and whale expedition began, but on the morning of the fourth day, Yang Lei, A-Lu, and Xiao Song were already gathered together again.

"Isn't this gathering happening a bit too fast and too frequently?"

Yang Lei muttered to himself. He had only been in this world for a short time, and several of his actions were already related to A Lu and the other person. He couldn't help but feel a strange feeling and wondered if he would end up being tied to them in the future.

Chapter 578

"Let's not."

Yang Lei thought to himself that A-Lu and Xiao Song were growing up too slowly, and they definitely wouldn't be able to stay together forever.

"Perhaps, after this precious flesh, I should take action on my own."

That's right, the request that summoned Yang Lei and the others this time is related to the flesh of the precious gem.

In the morning, Yang Lei went to World Kitchen again for a stroll.

Buying ingredients was secondary; his main purpose was to find Shi Meng, hoping he could help him collect more plant seeds for himself.

With his Wood Release chakra, Yang Lei could easily produce a batch of food whenever he wanted to eat it, as long as he collected enough seeds.

Moreover, he has important people in other worlds, and he wants to bring them the delicious flavors of this world as well.

Yang Lei felt that his collection was too slow, while Shi Meng, as a food wholesaler, probably had better methods and channels to find more and more comprehensive seeds.

Although the seeds that Ten Dreams can collect are definitely low-grade ingredients, it doesn't matter. Yang Lei plans to collect high-grade seeds himself after he goes to the culinary world.

Shi Meng readily agreed to Yang Lei's request.

One reason is that the task is very simple, and another is that he owes someone a favor to repay. Don't forget that Yang Lei once sent him a rainbow fruit through A-Chou.

In addition, Yang Lei brought him another batch of 100 pufferfish this time, and these were pufferfish with their venom sacs removed.

In this way, Shi Meng would be even less likely to refuse.

After agreeing on the relevant matters with Shi Meng, Yang Lei was found by the IGO people and told that the Gem Flesh was ready and they wanted to entrust him with capturing it.

In addition to Yang Lei, the IGO staff directly informed them that A-Lu and Xiao Song, as well as Coco and Sani, were also traveling with him.

In other words, apart from Zebula who is currently imprisoned, three of the Four Heavenly Kings actually came out.

Yang Lei would definitely not miss out on the treasure meat. According to his speculation, after the golden gourmet cell evolves to level four, the ingredients required to evolve to level five will be level thirty to fifty.

It's possible that because Yang Lei skipped grades when consuming ingredients, a gap in the required ingredient quality emerged.

When you reach level 3 or 2 in Gourmet Cell, the required ingredients are level 10 to 20.

Originally, a Gourmet Cell should need to be between level 20 and 30 to go from level 4 to level 5, or even between level 20 and 50.

Now, things have taken a turn for the worse. He's jumped directly from level 30 to level 50, leaving Yang Lei speechless with frustration and unable to regret his decision.

"I absolutely cannot skip grades again."

Yang Lei secretly warned himself that it would be best not to let this happen again in the future, otherwise it would make his path of evolution much more difficult.

Fortunately, the Gem Meat is a level 48 ingredient, and none of the ingredients in the First Habitat Garden are above level 50.

In this way...

"Perhaps this time we can evolve again."

Yang Lei secretly looked forward to it, thinking that he might gain a lot in the First Living Realm Courtyard.

After all, besides the meat from the precious stones, there are plenty of other ingredients in the First Realm Garden. As long as the ingredients are above level 30 but below level 50, his food cells can grow.

Then, if you use the flesh of the gemstone to impact it again, it might immediately evolve from level four to level five.

. . . . . .

On the way to the First Habitat Garden, Yang Lei took out the second demon serpent that he had specially kept and shared it with A'lu and the others.

According to Coco, the toxins he left in the demon serpent's body could be neutralized once the temperature exceeded a certain level; he did this deliberately out of consideration for A-Chou.

Otherwise, he could have easily defeated the demon serpent, since Coco's venom was far more potent than the demon serpent's.

And so, the three of them ate the flesh of the legendary monsters along the way, while being transported by IGO personnel to the First Habitat Garden in a plane. By the time they arrived, the giant serpent had already been half-eaten.

It can only be said that A-Lu and Yang Lei had huge appetites. That was a demonic serpent that could swallow four or five humans in one gulp, but it was only a short distance away and it was eaten half of them, which terrified the people from IGO.

As for Xiaosong, he was already used to their big appetites. Although he remained silent for a while, he didn't say anything more.

"arrive."

The plane landed at the entrance to the first habitat courtyard.

When Yang Lei and his two companions disembarked, the passengers said goodbye, "Enjoy your meal!"

This is a world of food, where everything is intricately connected to cuisine; even blessings have become culinary delights.

After saying goodbye to the IGO personnel on the plane, Yang Lei and his two companions were led into the building by A-Lu.

Arjuna grew up in IGO and trained in these courtyards. The other three Heavenly Kings also went through the same process, which is why they are so familiar with this place.

“This is not only IGO’s first habitat garden, but also connected to a ‘Food Research Institute’, whose main task is to develop new ingredients.”

A-Lu acted as a tour guide throughout the trip, introducing Yang Lei and Xiao Song to the Food Research Institute.

It turns out that this place not only undertakes the development of edible unknown ingredients, but also is responsible for one-third of the world's food exports.

Moreover, improvements and research are often carried out in the first habitat garden.

For example, the rainbow fruit, and the jewel flesh that will surely be captured next.

In the original story, the precious and rare Rainbow Fruit and Gem Flesh later became common ingredients found everywhere, because the Gourmet Research Institute had developed the technology to mass-produce them.

Chapter 579

However, while the taste and texture are not much different from the original, the nutrition and energy it contains are quite different, which I won't go into detail about here.

Led by A-lu, the three of them first went into a disinfected room and took a cold shower, and their clothes were also disinfected before they went inside again.

According to Alu, they had to visit Director Mansam first before deciding when to take action.

After all, they were newcomers and didn't know what the First Living Garden was like, so they needed to find out some information.

And so, they took an elevator to the director's office.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard outside, not only was Sani carrying out the capture operation of the Little Ligalurumon, but several GT robots belonging to the Gourmet Club were also getting restless.

This really looks like a storm is brewing.

0495 Enter the first habitat courtyard

As expected of the Food Research Institute, Yang Lei and Xiao Song saw too many novel creatures along the way. According to A-Lu, those were all created by the institute by mixing extinct and existing creatures.

In other words, this is what is meant by improvement.

Yang Lei was somewhat curious about this, but he didn't have high expectations.

Komatsu was even more terrified, worried that the animals would escape.

Sure enough, his worries weren't unfounded. On the way, they did encounter a creature that had escaped from the prison, called a muscle crab, a giant crab whose entire body was made of muscle.

It was precisely because of the escape of the muscle crab that Director Mansam himself made a surprise appearance before Alu and the others could even go to the director's office.

"Oh, Alu, welcome back."

Mansam was a bald, burly man of similar build to Alu, who was currently gulping down liquor from a bottle while turning to chat with Alu.

"That's right."

Before Alu could introduce Yang Lei and Xiaosong, Mansam made no mention of the Gem Flesh and the Ligaru Beast, and instead invited them, "The Culinary Arena is about to begin. Why don't you make an appearance, it's been a long time?"

Alu was initially uninterested, but when Mansam said that a Wolf Warrior would appear, he changed his mind.

However.

“I’m not really interested.”

Following behind A-Lu, Yang Lei shared his thoughts: "Let's find someone to take me to the courtyard. I want to see what delicious food is available there."

For Yang Lei, Wolf Warrior and the like are not something he can eat, at least not now, so why bother watching them?
