Chapter 76: Chapter 75: Make Your Body Believe You’re About to Die
As Su Huan walked into the dining car, the entire car seed to awaken.
The lights hidden on the ceiling softly lit up, and all the electric equipnt buzzed to life with a welcoming ticking sound.
Su Huan pulled up his sleeves on both sides and placed the chubby sweet and spicy scallions to the side.
He pulled out a kitchen knife, laid it flat, and looked at both sides.
Yu Yue had cleaned it very well, with no residual food juice, but Su Huan habitually wiped it with high heat to prevent any taste contamination.
That would be disrespectful to the food.
He cut the sweet and spicy scallions vertically in half, setting one aside and chopping the other into fine strips with a crunch.
Outside workers lifted the last iron plate onto the car and closed the door.
"Screech—"
The knife rasped against the wooden chopping board, and the sweet and spicy scallions were placed into a bowl.
From the cabinet, he found a small piece of hotpot base, pressing it into the pot with a spatula, the sizzling oil crackling and popping.
Little footsteps approached from the corridor.
The hotpot base was heated by the oil, releasing a rich spicy aroma with added dried peppercorns and chilies, then the chopped scallions were poured into the pot.
The strong spicy aroma burst forth instantly.
The range hood automatically started, its low buzz overpowering the sizzling sounds.
He took out a carton of milk from the fridge, sniffing it at the nose.
Yu Yue stood in the dining car, staring blankly at the man behind the cabinet, quickly stepping forward, "Let
do it..."
The creamy white milk was poured into the pot, colliding with the red butter.
"Sizzle..."
The bright red spicy oil instantly transford into circular islands floating in a milky sea.
Su Huan tilted his head, "What?"
Yu Yue ca to his senses, using his ability to gather his voice into a line, drilling into Su Huan’s ear.
"I said, let
do it."
Su Huan shook his head, "Go cut so snake at, and also so of today’s wolf at, and get two cans of the vegetable cans we just had."
Then he placed the hotpot base on the fire to simr and went to prepare the dipping sauce himself.
After all, the wolf at wasn’t bled, so it’s quite gay.
A heavier flavored base can help balance it out.
When Yu Jing and others ca in, they saw Su Huan and Yu Yue busying themselves there.
Not at all reserved, she simply sat at the table waiting for the al to start.
Liang Kuan was the sa; he had eaten Su Huan’s cooking plenty of tis. Though Yu Yue’s dishes were varied, he preferred the smoky flavor in Su Huan’s als.
The oil, that salt, sohow transford in his hands.
Xiaoba, looking at Su Huan cooking, was a bit surprised, wanting to help but feeling powerless, so he resorted to using his ability to help clean up the dishes cast aside by the two.
The small dining car instantly turned into a magical kitchen.
Various knives and forks flew around in the air.
Lao San and Huang Sea were a bit reserved, helping to grab bowls and chopsticks.
Lao San’s two brothers and Huang Sea’s assistant didn’t co; they were eating with the service crew in the back.
Two large spoons of sesa paste, topped with finely chopped sweet and spicy scallions, didn’t need sugar, added sesa oil, vinegar, and soy sauce, stirred until it flowed slowly off the chopsticks, and Su Huan carried his secret sauce out.
"You can mix the sauce yourselves."
He just liked the feeling of cooking, not being a chef serving others.
Yu Yue also placed the cut beast at on the table.
The already translucent white snake at was sliced thin as cicada wings, picked up by chopsticks, and the at, visible through to the person opposite, dropped into the pot, curling up as soon as it was scalded.
Coated in sauce and tossed into the mouth, even the train conductor’s annoyance at being ordered around by Yu Jing all afternoon dissipated significantly.
He took the ice-cold Coke handed to him by Yu Yue and drank it down in one gulp.
In the apocalypse, food is the most direct demonstration of power.
"Eat more, although the pan-energy inside the Evolution Beast has dissipated, eating more helps improve physical condition." Su Huan glanced at Lao San and the others as he spoke.
With Su Huan setting the tone, Huang Sea and Lao San exchanged a few words, and the atmosphere slowly opened up.
The expressions on everyone’s faces relaxed.
Even though the Mojiang Convoy and the Fearso Wolves died fiercely, the security of the ard train brought considerable confidence to everyone.
No more of the previous tense feeling.
Midway through the al, they talked about the issue of evolution, and Su Huan simply took out two ordinary Pan-energy Crystals and tossed them to the two.
Lao San quickly put down his chopsticks to catch the crystals.
He widened his eyes, looking at them for a long ti, "How do you use these? Eat them raw?"
Su Huan took a bite of the green bamboo that Yu Yue placed in his bowl, thought for a mont, and said, "Well, it’s not impossible. The Pan-energy Crystal only needs to be near your body to use, and the success rate is high, over ninety percent."
’At least, I’ve never seen anyone mutate from absorbing a Pan-energy Crystal.’
Su Huan ntally added.
Wan Xing and the others had beco accustod to Su Huan stating extrely accurate information out of thin air, without a hint of surprise.
"Doesn’t that an becoming an Evolver is quite easy?"
Yu Jing suddenly looked up and asked, a bit of spicy oil on her thin lips, like a layer of lip glaze, paired with her faint expression, gave her a seductive appearance.
"Becoming an Evolver is easy in itself."
"That doesn’t follow the norm."
"It does follow the norm." Su Huan pressed on the wolf at dipped by Yu Yue in his bowl with chopsticks, the done-ness just right, chewy but not tough.
"Have you ever built a pyramid? Evolution is sowhat like building a pyramid, except for individuals, you only have one foundation."
The crowd suddenly understood.
Though they still didn’t quite grasp it, they vaguely knew it was difficult.
Easy entry, tough advancent, especially increasingly so as you progress.
Su Huan looked at Xiaoba, "Xiaoba, what skills do you have now?"
"Level 2 ’tal Manipulation’ and Level 1 ’tal Refinent’, the latter was added recently. It allows
to extract desired tals from alloys." Xiaoba replied.
Su Huan raised an eyebrow, "That’s a pretty good skill. Take Xiaoba as an example. If he wants to advance to an ’Iron Sword Attendant’, he needs to elevate both ’tal Manipulation’ and ’tal Refinent’ to Level 3, and he also has to awaken another skill called ’Field Perception’. This whole process would cost at least ten Tier One Pan-energy Crystals."
"The wolf at we are eating cos from a Tier One Evolution Beast. How many Tier One Crystals can be extracted?"
Wan Xing, on the side, chid in, "Based on my observation, about one and a half."
Su Huan put down his chopsticks, resting his elbow on the table, lightly said, "That ans at least about seven Tier One Fearso Wolves need to be hunted to gather the basic amount of Pan-energy, mind you, just the basics, not including ordinary Pan-energy Crystals to stimulate your evolution."
"Among us, without a gun, who’s confident in taking on a Tier One Fearso Wolf alone?"
Lao San looked at the ordinary Pan-energy Crystal in his hand, then thought about the ferocity of the Fearso Wolf, taking a deep breath.
"Is there no other way; if evolution solely relies on these crystals, won’t it be impossible to advance further later on?"
Yu Jing furrowed her brows and asked.
"A Defender’s ’Combat Factor’ promotes body evolution during battle."
"We can do it too, as long as you make your body believe you’re about to die the next mont."
