“Science and health?”
"Yes, so compared to health, the taste and presentation of food are not that important. As long as it's edible, that's all that matters."
Cecil picked up a piece of broccoli with a fork and placed it in Green's bowl. "Besides, most of the people in the Garden of Eden are Nikki. In most cases, Nikki eats only to prevent her mind from changing. As a human, you have to consider more about your health."
"So, try this broccoli. It's good for you."
"..."
"You just throw the food you don't like to eat at me, Cecil."
Green glared at her.
"I also think that the menu at Eden Garden is too limited."
At the table nearby, Anis looked at the same vegetable salad in front of her and couldn't help but interject, "Miss Cecil, perhaps you should let the robots take more control of the taste?"
"There aren't many qualified cooks in the Garden of Eden. If you want to try something exciting, why not ask Harlan to make you some witch soup?"
Cecil shrugged and responded perfunctorily.
"Ugh, I don't want to eat that guy's soup."
Anis curled her lips.
She had seen Harlan making soup before.
That horrible woman would pour even a toad she picked up on the roadside into her soup, calling it the development of a new witch's soup.
Just as Anis finished speaking, accompanied by the cry of crows, Harlan's figure came on the wind and suddenly appeared in the seat next to Green.
"I heard someone calling my name just now. Could it be that someone is secretly missing my delicious witch's soup?"
The witch put the bottles and jars in her arms on the table with a mysterious smile on her face. "It just so happens that I just developed a new recipe recently. Would you all like to try it?"
"I'm full! Let's forget it this time!"
Anis quickly waved her hand and politely declined Harlan's dark cuisine.
"It's okay. This is soup, not a meal. You can have a few bites even if you're full."
Harlan smiled slightly and began to prepare her dark cuisine in front of everyone.
"I flew to the east of the Garden of Eden these past few days and took a few walks around. I picked a lot of ingredients I'd never discovered before. Look at this white mushroom. Isn't it cute?"
"And this frog we dug out from the desert. Look at the spots on its body, they're as white and tender as snowflakes. It must be a very tasty ingredient."
"Of course, we also have this piece of wild ginseng... Maybe it's wild ginseng, or radish or something, it's guaranteed to taste great."
Harlan threw the ingredients he brought with him into the boiling pot.
Soon, the bubbling and oily soup changed from colorless boiling water to a dark purple color, eerily like a potion developed by an evil witch in the Middle Ages.
Seeing this strange soup, Cecil and Agnes both acted as if they were not interested. They moved aside consciously, leaving Green alone, who had no time to escape and was caught by Harlan.
"Isn't this my favorite servant?"
"This is the soup I prepared for you personally. You should know how to drink it, right?"
Green picked up the bowl of strange soup that Harlan poured for him.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Well, for the sake of my health, I'll only drink a little."
"Hmm, how does it taste?"
"Surprisingly quite good?"
Harlan looked at Green with surprise.
The corners of her mouth curled up into a smug smile.
Although she did love to mix dark dishes, unlike Miss Emma in the Ark who messed with the ingredients and seasonings, Harlan would always prepare the most perfect soup base to match those messy ingredients.
Just like the base sauce for spicy crayfish, even if it is topped with shoe horns instead of lobsters, people can still eat it with relish.
"I've spent a lot of time meticulously blending the flavors, and I guarantee you won't be disappointed."
"As for those ingredients, they are all top-notch stuff. If others don't eat them, they will all be yours in the end."
Harlan sat closer quietly, and while the two people next to her were not noticing, she quietly stretched out her hand and stroked up Green's strong thigh.
Then she whispered in his ear, "You finally made it to the Garden of Eden, but you're just drinking tea with that Dorothy instead of coming to see me? Don't you know that witches are also very jealous?"
"After you finish my soup, you have to come to my room tonight. Of course, not the dormitory where I live with the others, but my own room where there are only the two of us."
"Wait until night, and the crows will lead the way for you. You must come then, understand?"
Harlan murmured a few words quietly, then stood up with a smile, sat aside, took out a bottle of perfume from his arms, and started spraying it.
Anis, who was eating at Kuku next to her, was choked by the sudden fragrance. Finally, she couldn't help but frown and said, "Hey, can you please stop spraying perfume everywhere while others are eating?"
"I'm sorry to bother you."
"But if I spray it in the dormitory, Noah and Isabel will have some complaints. They often say that I make the air in the room a mess, but what can I do? Beauty always needs to be carefully cared for."
Harlan explained with a smile as he ran his fingers through her long black hair.
"Really? For someone like you who has to go out on missions all day, it's really troublesome to dress up all the time, right?"
Anis curled her lips and complained, "Anyway, I don't have the energy to put on makeup when I'm on the ground. Letcher won't be lenient just because you're pretty."
"That's true, but as a woman, if you don't take care of your skin and apply essential oils regularly, then when the time comes to show your charm, if you look disheveled and messy, you'll probably feel very uncomfortable, right?"
"Even if you don't dress up, there's still time to put on some essential oil perfume."
"Besides, my essential oil spray is much more effective than ordinary perfume. Just spray some on your body and it will make you fragrant and attractive."
Harlan proudly shook the small bottle of pink liquid in her hand.
This was the essential oil she had specially asked Cecil to mix after finding many materials and formulas. Just spray it on and let the person she liked smell it, and it would definitely arouse his animal instincts and make him insatiable.
But who would have thought that the arrogant woman Dorothy would just drink it as tea.
As a result, Harlan could only use the remaining ingredients to mix the remaining two bottles.
"Huh? It's just perfume, is it really that mysterious?"
Anis couldn't help but look skeptical after hearing Harlan's boasts. "Honestly, I've always thought perfume was useless. People who don't have body odor don't need to use it. And if you use too much, it might even annoy others."
"Huh? Really?"
Harlan looked Anis up and down, then smiled and said, "Your figure shows that you sweat easily. Your armpits or buttocks might become smelly because of sweat. I think you should spray more perfume."
"What?"
"I don't stink! I don't smell at all!"
Anis argued cunningly.
"Anis, don't explain. Everyone who knows you has always said that you smell a bit smelly."
Nian, who was sipping noodles on the chair behind him, turned around and said jokingly, "How about I call you Pennys from now on?"
"Fart your big head, FARTNION!"
"Tsk, forget it!"
Anis glared at Nian in annoyance.
This guy only knows how to insult her every day.
Her butt doesn't smell at all, but for some reason, it seems that many people who know her have complained about it. So why is that? Is her butt really a bit smelly?
Anis sniffed her body suspiciously.
This has no taste?
Could it be that there was something wrong with her sense of smell?
Forget it, forget it!
Anis was also annoyed. So she just beckoned to Harlan and said, "Harlan, do you have any extra essential oil? Sell me a bottle."
Seeing that she wanted to buy the essential oils he had carefully blended, Harlan shook his head and said, "Anis, my essential oils are all made with my own secret recipes, and they have some unknown side effects. If you spray too much, something unpredictable might happen."
"Hey, stop talking so much and name your price!"
"Well... since you insist on having it, I'll give you a bottle."
Harlan pulled a small bottle from his arms and tossed it to Anis.
Then, with a mysterious smile on her face, she whispered to Anis, "I suggest you use it when you're with your commander in private. You might end up having a wonderful evening."
Anis was stunned: "Huh? Wait a minute, Harlan, what exactly is that side effect you're talking about?"
Harlan raised the corner of his mouth and deliberately asked, "Hmm... what could it be? You'll know if you try it. Of course, it can be used for daily use, but remember to spray sparingly."
"That's it then. I have to go."
"See you in the evening, my dear servant."
Harlan leaned over, kissed Green on the cheek, and then flew away.
Except for Noah, it seems that all the Nikki in the Garden of Eden can fly. Whether it is Dorothy or Isabel, they seem to be very keen on gaining air superiority, but the technology related to Nikki's flying has not been popularized in the Ark.
Green looked at Harlan's departing back and couldn't help but look at Cecil: "Cecil, how did Eden create a flying Nikki? Logically speaking, with their bodies weighing hundreds of kilograms, it would obviously be difficult for them to fly freely in the air, right? And I don't see any propulsion devices."
Cecil put down her chopsticks and pondered for a moment before saying, "Regarding Nikki's flying skills, Ark has actually studied them before. However, ever since Ark began to reduce Nikki's physical performance, flying skills have become a synonym for impossible."
"Firstly, this technology requires Nikki to possess a highly specialized body. An ordinary body like the mass-produced model would likely be unable to adapt to the speed of high-altitude flight and would have difficulty controlling steering."
"Secondly, with such a highly specialized body, some weight reduction is necessary to minimize energy loss during flight. Generally speaking, Eden's Nikki is lighter than Ark's."
"Finally, long-term air combat training is needed before it can be applied in actual combat."
"Obviously, this is a high-investment, low-return project."
"That's why Ark ultimately gave up on related research. Guns alone are more than enough to counter Letcher in the air. Adding wings to Nikki would be completely superfluous and almost unnecessary."
"But now it seems that since a flying opponent like the Fire Dragon has appeared, there must be many monsters among the heretics who can also fly. Therefore, air control will once again become extremely important."
"The reason Eden seemed so overwhelmed against the Fire Dragon before was simply because she could fly. As long as she's willing to continue her guerrilla warfare against us, just imagine, an opponent who can constantly move in the air, rain down flames, and has superb recovery abilities, if she wasn't so arrogant, we wouldn't have any chance of defeating her."
Cecil explained.
After Green heard her explanation, he turned to look at Anis and Nian.
"Cecil, can you use Eden's flying technology for my troops?"
"It's possible, but not quite. To be honest, Eden's Nikki transformation technology is actually something I learned from those in the Pioneer Corps. According to Ark, you can call it a lightweight version of the fairy tale body."
"But considering that you and your troops are still the top generals of the Ark, if you rashly upgrade and transform them, it might cause you a lot of trouble."
Cecil explained.
"You don't want to be expelled from the Ark for treason, do you?"
"But there's no need to worry too much. There must be a lot of technology hidden inside the Ark that isn't in Eden."
"So, you just need to wait quietly. I suspect it won't be long before the Ark's superiors will distribute the top-notch technology to your subordinate, Nikki."

Chapter 257: Beauty Trap!
"I have another question, Cecil."
"Since you've studied fairy-tale-style bodies, who do you think is stronger, Nikki from this generation of Ark or the others?"
Green thought for a moment and asked another question that interested him.
Comparing combat power is always so fascinating.
In terms of apparent strength, although Snow White and her companions seldom show up, their battle record is not inferior to others. Snow White alone has beaten Xiao Chao many times and made him flee in a panic, unable to fight back at all.
According to Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White was actually in charge of logistics and weapons maintenance in the Goddess Army, and was not particularly good at combat.
But even if he is just a gun repairman, he can still hold on on the ground for more than a hundred years, and rely on his tattered equipment to beat the Tyrant-level Letcher to flee in fear. It can be said that even if Snow White is placed in the current Ark, she is a strong man on par with the special forces and the Metis Forces, or at least Nikki, the top level of a certain company.
Logically speaking, their strength is obvious to all.
But Cecil shook his head and said, "A hundred years ago, the fairy-tale-like Nikki could indeed be called a uniquely powerful being. Wherever she went, Letcher was annihilated. But don't forget, Letcher is also constantly evolving."
"After several iterations of evolution, Letcher has now developed stronger armor and greater resistance to bullet penetration than before. However, those wandering pilgrims have never updated their equipment. Therefore, in the current environment, they are not necessarily stronger than Ark's Nikki."
"Also, as far as I know, Ark's Nikki has been updated to the ninth generation."
