Wrong, my skills refresh every week

After a while, Charles came back with a bunch of oranges in his arms.

"No, where did the captain get it?" Raul looked surprised, as if he was watching a magic trick.

"The unknown of the underworld." Charles put down the orange and looked at Chardo:

"I won't give it to you for free. Do you want it? It's very simple. You get to taste the following dishes first. Um...you get to cook them too."

After confirming Chardo's identity, they no longer worried about using him as a poison test material. That was a man who dared to eat Behemoth's flesh and blood alive. A mere middle or lower level monster would have been his meal long ago.

Looking at the abundant magical citrus in front of him, Chardo picked one up and threw it into his mouth. After swallowing it, he showed his big white teeth:

"No problem. But are you sure you want me to cook?"

The effect of the magic citrus was beyond his expectations. Although it did not weaken the overall toxins too much, it replenished physical strength and vitality significantly.

If, due to the torture of the poison, he only has less than half a year to live, a magic tangerine can buy him about another week.

Is the magic power too low? But the quality is definitely good...

He couldn't wait to eat another one, followed by the second and the third.

He frowned until he swallowed the tenth pill.

The vitality replenishment effect has declined...

Not giving up, he ate five more pills, but the effect was still decreasing.

The good news is that the rate of toxin invasion has indeed slowed down.

It will take about 500 pills and the toxin will no longer affect me.

This is good news and bad news.

Chardo had no idea how many of these citrus fruits there were, so he could only hope that there were enough of them and that Charles was willing to give them up.

Unlike Alfia's congenital disease that was engraved into her skills, if she could get rid of this toxin, it would not be impossible for her to advance to level 8.

Rather than adding a level 7 to the city, it is better to allow yourself to continue growing.

As long as he is given time, seven years... no, maybe even shorter, he will be able to surpass the heroes and take up the battle flag against the Black Dragon again.

If Alfia can also recover, the two of them joining forces will have a chance of winning!

pity……

Chardo shook his head and looked at Charles with a different look.

Last time at the dock, it was this guy who took out the props that Alfia also benefited from. Will there be a bigger surprise waiting for me?

No, even if I can't survive, with Brother Ciel's qualifications, it is not difficult for him to grow to my level. There is still hope for the future.

He looked at Ai Si, who was chewing meat obediently without saying a word: "No wonder the God of Creation has not given up on saving the world..."

"What did you say?" Charles glanced at Chardo and threw a rabbit leg to Lily.

"Uh, Lord Ciel, do you really want to eat?" Lily said with a look of disgust.

Charles Rabbit Legs interrupted, "Eat it quickly. Although it's a little astringent, it's still within an acceptable range. Next time, add some chili to neutralize it and make spicy rabbit head."

Raul's stomach had already growled. He stared at Ai Si and said, "Ai Si-san, is this really edible?"

Ai Si bit her leg fiercely and answered the question with her action.

In her opinion, there must be a reason for Charles to do this! Maybe eating monster meat can quickly make him stronger. In addition, she hated monsters, and eating them alive was not enough to relieve her hatred.

Seeing everyone start eating monster meat, Haid's eyes widened:

“…Ah da! No! No no! Absolutely not!”

"Why would I want to eat something this weird?"

"Eh? It's obviously delicious." Lily relaxed. Once she accepted certain settings, it seemed that eating monster meat was not a big deal.

Chardo also agreed: "It's a hundred times more delicious than what I've eaten before. Ah~ If I had met Brother Ciel earlier, I wouldn't have to suffer so much."

Aisi gritted her teeth, and the elastic flesh on her hind legs was stretched long: "Ahhhhhh."

Hayde just felt that this group of people seemed to be mentally ill, and he was the only one who was not contaminated.

"Thank you for your protection, Lady Freya!"

"For the goddess' sake, you should at least eat a few bites." Ciel puffed his cheeks and said, "We didn't bring any extra food. The commission lasts for six days. Even if you're a high-level adventurer, six days without food or water would be enough to make you unable to move."

"These are all trials from the goddess! They are the inevitable trials to become a strong warrior!"

"No matter how strong a warrior is, he still needs to eat." Charles pushed out a rabbit head. "Besides, a warrior like you shouldn't be afraid of anything. If you don't even dare to eat a mere monster, how can you be brave?"

"Hah!" Hayde took a step back, suddenly realizing something.

"You're right. A strong warrior will not fear challenges or death! It seems I'm still a long way from that goal."

Is this the reason why the goddess asked me to follow this person?

It is to help me overcome my fear and achieve my sublimation! You are worthy of being Lady Freya!

Thinking of this, Haide picked up the plate and took a bite of the rabbit head covered with soul juice.

Although she felt very disgusted, the taste of the meat bursting in her taste buds made her subconsciously take a few more bites.

"Just think of it as drinking elixir. Just think of it as drinking elixir."

"Woooo..."

One bite, two bites...

pause.

Hayde's eyes suddenly widened: "Wow! It smells so good!"

Chapter 59: Ingredients! Ingredients hit people!

For a day, the Charles team wandered around the floors above the 18th floor, searching for monsters with a purpose. No matter what kind of monster it was, he would silently dissect it, try to process it, and finally give it to Charles to taste.

Next to the campfire, Charles sat cross-legged, holding a booklet in one hand and a wool pen in the other, carefully writing in Chinese...

"The abdomen of killer ants contains strong acid and is not suitable for consumption, but their limbs are very good food and taste similar to lobster. They are rich in protein and are suitable for frying or steaming."

"The horned rabbit's head tastes the best, its limbs are muscular and slightly tough, and its belly tastes the best. The meat is soft and sticky, but there are few of them. We recommend large-scale breeding."

"The meat of the frog shooter is slightly bitter. The cooking method is similar to that of the frog. It is best to pickle peppers and grill over charcoal. The tail contains strong acid, so it needs to be completely peeled off when processing. The tongue has the best meat and is very elastic, but it is not suitable for LV1 consumption because it is difficult to digest."

"Poisonous moths, their wings and skin are covered with a lot of phosphorus powder, which is highly toxic and difficult to handle. The abdomen has crystal meat, which is very high in protein and tastes crispy and sweet when fried. However, if not handled carefully, it may cause food poisoning, so be careful when eating."

"Silverback apes and monkeys are not special ingredients. Primates are a bit disgusting, but monkey brains are delicious and suitable for braising. Consumption intelligence +1 (illusion)"

……

Charles arranged for the team members to collect food on each floor, leaving only Lily to assist.

Outside the cave, Chardo emerged from the thick fog, dragging a knocked-out little dragon in his hand. Aisi followed behind him, holding a rope in her hand, dragging a small group of various sub-human monsters.

Chardo grinned:

“Try these.”

The corner of Ciel's eye twitched. "Didn't they say that subhumans are not to be eaten? The Minotaur is fine, but what's with this green-skinned orc?"

Staring at the fat, green-skinned humanoid creature with a pig's head, Charles felt he couldn't eat it.

But Chardo grabbed Charles' neck and spoke in revenge:

“You should always try different things, which may bring you some unexpected surprises.”

"What surprise?" Charles asked directly.

The next second, a deep voice that only Ciel could hear rang in his ears:

"You feel it, the first time you eat new food, it can bring you the biggest changes."

Charles suddenly looked horrified and stared at Chardo in disbelief:

"how do you know?!"

Chardo did not answer, but asked in a riddle:

"Eat quickly. There will be many unexpected ingredients waiting for you in the next week. I'm already looking forward to it."

There was envy in Chardo's eyes.

In the past, he did not have such good conditions as Charles. Every time he devoured monster flesh, he was experiencing a life-and-death test.

No one will test poison for him or tell him what he can eat and what he cannot eat.

I don't have as big an appetite as Ciel, so I can't eat too many monsters in a short period of time, let alone choose the types.

With the mysterious citrus in Charles's hand, even if he encounters an unexpected abnormal state, he can recover quickly and regroup.

With his own help, Chardo doubted that he could complete the journey that took him several years in just one week.

Of course, there is another problem that limits Charles' development.

As Chardo heated the oil in the wok, the pork chops gave off a sizzling aroma and were taken out of the wok and placed on a plate. Charles subconsciously raised his fork and put the meat into his stomach.

Immediately afterwards, a strong sour and foul taste burst out from the mouth.

"Report: Devour a high-level target, all attributes +5. Add paralysis effect." This thought suddenly flashed through Ciel's mind. ...I'm not Ciel's teacher.

Follow...

"Damn, this dragon meat is poisonous!" Charles covered his neck and chanted a spell quickly, summoning a magic citrus that looked quite familiar to Chardo.

As the citrus mixed with dragon meat entered his stomach, Charles's purple and green complexion returned to normal. He gasped for breath, sweating profusely, and then stared at Chardo viciously.

"So your tangerines are magical creations? Interesting."

"You're so funny, why didn't you tell me there was something wrong with that thing?!"

Chardo calmly forked up a piece of dragon meat and put it into his mouth: "What's the problem? Why didn't I feel it?"

Dry!

Damn the first-level adventurer! Damn the abnormal resistance.

Charles remembered that Chardo's abnormal resistance was also E, which was the same level as his own luck!

Before Charles could open his mouth to refute, a current of heat quickly surged from his abdomen to his whole body. The grace behind him began to feel hot, and there was a faint sense of explosive power rising in his body.

"This……"

"Are you here?" Chardo stood up calmly, and in the puzzled eyes of everyone, he grabbed Charles by the back of his collar and left the cave.

"The flesh and blood of high-level monsters will temporarily increase some of your ability values. I thought you would be a little different, but it seems you have similar troubles."

"What..." Charles felt his body was very hot: "Isn't it because of the dragon meat that can arouse sexual desire?"

"What are you thinking about?" Chardo threw Charles towards a hunted Minotaur, which Chardo had left alive on purpose.

"Go, kill it, and release the power in your body."

Charles also recalled: [Divine Grace] can not only permanently improve ability values, but also briefly add a super-domain attribute enhancement for a period of time after eating a monster.

The little dragon's rank was much higher than Ciel's own, so the power could not be absorbed quickly and thus transformed into a huge temporary attribute.

"Just like [Cat Food] and [Genshin Impact Cuisine]? Different dishes will improve slightly different abilities."

at the moment……

Facing the Minotaur who was shaking his head, standing up and roaring, Charles attacked him with his bare hands.

He didn't know how to wield swords and guns, but he did dabble in street fighting, boxing and Sanda when he was a member of the Black Organization.

The slender fists collided with the strong cow hooves, and the dull thuds sounded rhythmically outside the warehouse.

Charles dodged left and right deftly, deceiving the Minotaur's movement, and took the opportunity to throw a punch, leaving a clear fist mark.

Charles felt that his attack seemed to carry a trace of fire elemental power. Trying to feel this power, the next time he fought with the Minotaur, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes and his fist was wrapped in flames.

"fire punch!"

A sizzling burning sound ignited between his fists, and Charles' body was faintly burning with flames, his skin turned red, as if the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu were activated.

He put his fist in the side of the abdomen, hit with a flying knee, followed by a squat punch, and then a fierce side kick. With a series of continuous blows, the Minotaur, who was screaming in pain, was kicked away.

The Minotaur fell to the ground, twitching, his ribs shattered, and he could not get up again.
