Chapter 212 Our goal is to become a demon
The gourmet black market is a market that specializes in trading illegal ingredients. Usually, many precious ingredients that cannot be bought in the world's kitchen can be bought here.
At the same time, some special ingredients that are expressly prohibited by the "Eight Laws of Gourmet Food" can also be bought in the gourmet black market. This is a place similar to but not the same as the gourmet wholesale market. It is the dark side of the gourmet world.
"I didn't expect to be in this place again so soon. Life is so unpredictable."
At the entrance of the gourmet black market, Xia Yu muttered to himself as he watched the bustling buying and selling in front of him. He had now changed his body shape and turned into a two-meter-five muscular man.
Without a deterrent appearance, it is easy to be robbed in the black market.
But Xia Yu was not afraid. He changed his shape mainly to prevent himself from being caught by the food police. He did not want to go to food prison.
Although ordinary criminals are not eligible to enter the food prison, those who can enter the food prison are super criminals who have caused losses in trillions.
"Come and take a look. A puffer whale with its poison bag broken can be taken away for only eight million."
"Precious gem meat, sold cheaply, come and see."
"Diamond kangaroo meat, only one gram costs one hundred thousand."
In the black market, various stalls are promoting their products. If the ingredients sold were not problematic or not allowed to be sold, this place would look no different from an ordinary food market.
"Puffer whale..."
Hearing the shout, Xia Yu recalled the rumors a few months ago about the puffer whale appearing to lay eggs.
He knew that the information was true, but at that time he did not have the ability to capture the puffer whale, a dream whale known as a delicacy of the deep sea.
I didn't expect that after so much time, there are still puffer whales with broken poison bags being traded on the black market.
However, compared to the puffer whale, he was more interested in the gem meat just now. It was the most essential meat in the entire body of the legal mammoth. He didn't expect that it was also sold on the black market.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu walked towards the stall that was selling Gem Meat. Seeing someone coming over, the stall owner immediately smiled.
"Sir, would you like to buy some Gem Meat? We managed to get this from the transport truck."
"Well... pack them all for me. I want them all."
Hearing this, the stall owner smiled even more, but did not wrap the meat immediately. Instead, he made a gesture of money.
"Which... I don't mean to look down on you, it's just the price..."
"Haha." Xia Yu smiled inexplicably, "Money is something that can be negotiated. Look, is this enough?"
As he spoke, a blue light flashed in Xia Yu's eyes, and the stall owner, who was originally smiling, immediately smiled and wrapped up all the gem meat in front of him.
"That's enough, please take it, sir."
Looking at the gem meat which weighed at most one or two kilograms, Xia Yu reached out and added it to the chat group, then turned and left. The stall owner at the back and the thugs around him did not think there was anything wrong, but instead thought they had met a sucker today.
Well, it all makes sense.
…
Psychic abilities are really useful. Only after they walked away did Xia Yu relax and sigh in his heart.
He was not just trying to get the precious ingredients just now, he also wanted to experiment with his psychic abilities. If he was discovered, it would be convenient for him to escape at the entrance.
After all, his purpose of coming to the black market was to get gourmet jellyfish, and gourmet jellyfish were rare commodities in the black market because all kinds of organizations, whether legal, illegal, or other, were researching gourmet cells.
Although the research contents of all organizations are kept confidential, it is enough to see how important gourmet jellyfish are.
Therefore, he had to try out whether his psychic ability was useful first. If he couldn't control people at will, then he would have no choice but to buy it with money.
Now it seems that psychic abilities are really useful. I don’t have to sneak around to rob the gangs of their money anymore.
After walking in the food black market for a while, the shouting sounds began to decrease, and the further we went in, the more illegal ingredients that were hard to find openly.
Either the ingredients themselves are highly poisonous, or they are on the verge of extinction. In any case, the prices of the ingredients sold here are ridiculously high, and buying and selling them at will is a felony.
However, this is not Xia Yu's destination. His destination is still inside. Only in the deepest part can one encounter the legendary gourmet jellyfish.
After walking for a while, there were almost no people around. After glancing at the hidden shops nearby, Xia Yu walked towards the largest one.
In a few moments, he came out carrying a water box with a beautiful little jellyfish floating in it.
In today's developed gourmet era, large and small organizations, both official and secret, led by IGO, are studying gourmet cells, so the origin of gourmet cells, the gourmet jellyfish, can still be found.
The gourmet black market is not much different from the world's kitchen. Although the probability is small, if you are lucky, you can still come across gourmet jellyfish.
It happened that Xia Yu was lucky today, and those illegal food robbers kindly gave it to him.
Holding the small jellyfish in his hand, Xia Yu casually glanced around and walked towards a hidden corner. As he walked over, he used the Breath-Concealing Technique to pat his body and then directly applied to enter the biochemical world of Xia Yu.
He didn't intend for the psychological hint to last too long. He estimated that in half an hour, those people would discover the problem.
As for the small jellyfish in his hand, it was also taken over.
This is something they have experimented with, and the chat group seems to have been upgraded from being able to allow only one person to travel through it to being able to carry some creatures across it.
Of course, the prerequisite is that they must be in contact. The red envelopes have not changed much and still cannot store intelligent creatures.
Perhaps soon, chat groups will be able to take others across the world.
Biochemical world, laboratory.
"You got it so quickly."
Looking at the small water box in Xia Yu's hand, Xia Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I have to say, psychic abilities are really useful." Xia Yu casually put the water box aside, "Fortunately, we who have this ability are not perverts, otherwise the good world would become a carp fan."
"That's great, Li Fan, but unfortunately I don't have the tools to commit the crime." AI Xia Yu also walked over and said at this time.
Hearing this, Gourmet Xia Yu cast a complicated look towards AI Xia Yu, which contained three parts of pity, three parts of sympathy, three parts of suppressed laughter, and one part of ridicule.
AI Xia Yu noticed the gaze of Food Xia Yu, and his blue eyes immediately turned red: "Asshole, what do you mean by that rude gaze! If I wanted to, I would have a body and tools to commit the crime."
Gourmet Xia Yu didn't want to argue, so he turned his head.
AI Xia Yu: (#▼皿▼)
"What the hell do you mean? Do you really think I have no temper just because I'm a robot?"
"Okay, you two stop arguing and come take a look at this."
Biochemical Xia Yu interrupted the farce and called the two over. He was standing in front of the gourmet jellyfish with a scalpel in his hand.
Seeing this, they both scratched their heads at the same time and walked over.
After the two came over, Biochemical Xia Yu lightly waved the scalpel, instantly cut off one of the tentacle of the gourmet jellyfish, and then fished it out with telekinesis.
The gourmet jellyfish that had lost one of its tentacles was swaying slowly in the water. The next moment, the broken tentacle regenerated in the blink of an eye, and the gourmet jellyfish returned to its original appearance.
"Amazing regeneration ability and vitality." Biochemistry Xia Yu looked at the unharmed gourmet jellyfish, and then glanced at the cut tentacles, "As long as the gourmet cells inside are extracted and injected into the body, the life level can be evolved."
"As long as you eat more food, the higher the level, the higher the level of life, and the stronger your strength will be. If you keep eating, you will reach the level of the food gods sooner or later."
"Hiss..." Hearing what Bio-Xia Yu said, Gourmet Xia Yu was a little shocked, "Isn't that a bit too exaggerated? The Gourmet Gods, they are the real , the gods that existed before the Big Bang."
"It's not an exaggeration." Biochemical Xia Yu put the cut tentacle into the petri dish beside him and shook his head. "That world is so magical. Now that we have the gourmet cells, all we need is a Netero."
"Netero?" Xia Yu frowned. "That thing is hard to find in the early stage of the plot, whether it's the red slave Netero or the blue noble Netero."
"And their fighting power is also very strong. Are we strong enough to catch a Netero?"
In response, Bio-Xia Yu shook his head: "It's a bit troublesome for one person, but if several people come together, Netero won't be a big deal."
"But you are right about one thing. In the early stage, apart from the one Netero that appeared during the Ozone Grass incident, they have only appeared here."
As he spoke, Bio-Xia Yu waved his hand and summoned a light screen, on which was displayed the comic content of The Prisoner of Food.
"This..." Gourmet Xia Yu looked at the clear food pyramid on the light screen, "Where did you get the content of the comics from?"
"I extracted the comic book memories from my brain." AI Xia Yu knocked on his robot head, "Anyway, I am an AI, and your memories are all copied by me."
Biochemistry Xia Yu clicked on the light screen, and then scrolled to the lines of summary information.
"Netero is a monster beast demon born from gourmet cells. They are the embodiment of the appetite of gourmet cells."
"But in addition to this, people who have combined with gourmet cells can produce a kind of food spirit in their bodies. The prototype of this food spirit is a powerful demon in the gourmet universe. When the gourmet cells are immature, these people will show the ability of demons in their subconscious and in battle. But when the gourmet cells mature, these people can make their bodies become part of the demon, or even turn the whole person into a demon to fight."
After the explanation, Bio-Xia Yu reached out and pointed at himself: "But it is impossible for us to have a gourmet devil, because the gourmet devil is a product of the gourmet universe, and it is impossible for a gourmet devil to reside in our gourmet cells."
"Then I..." Gourmet Xia Yu suddenly interrupted, "I am from the world of gourmet food, so I can produce gourmet demons in my body?"
"Haha." Biochemical Xia Yu suddenly chuckled, "Instead of letting the devil take over me, why not just turn myself into a gourmet devil?"
"you mean……"
"Just like Jiro in the world of gourmet food, he doesn't have a gourmet devil." Biochemical Xia Yu suddenly saw an old man with a crew cut on the screen, "It is said that he grew up eating Netero, so he has become a gourmet devil himself, so I want you to catch a Netero."
"Of course, if possible, I would also like Jiro's blood, but that is too difficult, so for now I will just get a Netero."
"Our goal is to evolve the life level. Having one more ability is always good, so it's up to you." Biochemical Xia Yu patted Gourmet Xia Yu on the shoulder and said.
