Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

When the Great Black Tower returned to this body constructed of memory matter, before it even opened its eyes, the aroma of roasted meat wafted into its nostrils.

She opened her eyes with a hint of confusion and saw Lu Ze squatting not far away, with a portable barbecue grill that he had somehow brought from somewhere in front of him, and flipping over a few pieces of ribs in his hand.

The sizzling sound of oil dripping onto the charcoal fire, the surface of the pork chops being grilled to a golden brown with a slight char, the aroma standing out starkly in this deathly quiet space.

"Where did you get all these things?"

Daheita naturally sat down next to Luze, his gaze sweeping over the barbecue grill—a grill, seasoning bottles, oil brush, everything was there, and there was even a small jar of cumin powder.

"You're back."

When Lu Ze saw that she had come online again, he handed her the freshly grilled ribs he was holding, with a smug smile on his face.

"Come on, try my cooking. I guarantee you'll never be able to eat anyone else's food again after this." His tone was full of confidence.

childish.

The big black tower silently evaluated in its heart.

She knew exactly what Lu Ze was up to—this meat was probably a special ingredient he brought back from some other world, and he wanted to use its novelty to pique her interest so that she could take the initiative in the conversation.

Typical boyish thinking, believing that bringing out something rare will make this genius look at him with new respect.

She took the rib, looked down at the golden-brown, slightly charred surface, and took a small bite.

The moment it entered my mouth, a surge of pure energy traveled down my esophagus and spread throughout my body. Although it was far less powerful than the impact of a peach, it was gentle and long-lasting.

This meat is definitely not an ordinary ingredient.

She glanced at Lu Ze and found that the little guy was staring at her intently, his eyes full of expectation, practically screaming "Ask me where this meat came from!"

"What are you looking at? It's actually quite delicious." The big black tower decided to do the opposite of what he wanted.

He wanted to hear her praise how special the meat was and ask where he got it from, but she deliberately refused to tell him.

"Is it just delicious?" Lu Ze asked skeptically, taking a bite of the steak in his hand.

Juicy and tender, the steak is perfectly blended with the natural aroma of herbs and the caramelized flavor of grilling. It's flavorful yet not greasy, and rivals the best dishes from any restaurant.

Not to mention that the meat patties were ingredients he brought back from a place called the Gourmet World, which contained special energy that could subtly transform the body.

He chewed his meat with some frustration, thinking to himself, "Why doesn't this woman play by the rules?"

"You still haven't answered my question. Where did you find all this stuff?" Big Black Tower took another small bite of his steak, speaking casually.

The entire space has been drained of future energy by the Devouring Ender, so there shouldn't be any living things, let alone fresh ribs.

"Oh, these are all my own." Lu Ze took out a storage bag from his waist and waved it in front of the Great Black Tower.

A faint light flashed at the bag's opening, revealing that it was stuffed with all sorts of random things.

"You're quite well-prepared, no wonder you're someone who travels through time frequently." The Great Black Tower nodded approvingly, then casually added, "Where did you get this meat?"

Her tone was casual, and she didn't deliberately look at him; she simply lowered her head and took another bite of her steak.

They've taken the bait, hehe.

Lu Ze was secretly delighted. Xing was right after all; the Great Black Tower was indeed powerless against the unknown.

Forget being a cold and aloof genius, forget being an intellectual strategist; when faced with something they've never seen before, they're just a cat bursting with curiosity.
