Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Let’s go back and deal with these Jumping Beasts,” Mo Chu said, and Qin Yue and the others carried one to two Jumping Beasts in each hand. Each and every one of them followed behind Mo Chu like soldiers who had won a battle.
After placing the Jumping Beasts on the ground, the rest was up to Mo Chu.
Fortunately, her movements were very fast. She removed the feathers, removed the internal organs, and rinsed them clean with water. In less than ten minutes, Mo Chu had cleaned up one of the chickens.
“Let me help you.” Seeing that there were still six or seven Jumping Beasts in front of Mo Chu, Ning Yiyuan could not help but frown. She strode over, rolled up her sleeves, and half-squatted down to help Mo Chu deal with them.
Otherwise, why would she say that Ning Yiyuan was smart? Just by looking at Mo Chu’s example, he quickly understood the main points of the movements. Although this rhythm was not as good as Mo Chu’s, he became more proficient at it rapidly.
Mo Yang, who was standing at the side, really wanted to help, but he knew his own limits. After thinking about his cooking skills back then, he finally shook his head. Forget it. If he helped, it would only cause trouble for Little Chu.
Qin Yue did not think too much about it. He came over excitedly and said, “Sister, come here. I’ll help you too.”
Then, he half-squatted down and picked up a Jumping Beast, he imitated Mo Chu’s movements and started to prepare the chicken. It looked easy, but it was not easy to do. Qin Yue worked for half a day and was so tired that his forehead was covered in sweat, he had not even managed to finish one-third of a chicken.
He then looked at Ning Yiyuan beside him. There were already three well-prepared Jumping Beasts by his side.
Tsk tsk! This was the difference!
To be honest, the way he handled the Jumping Beasts was not good-looking. He was half-squatting on the ground, with the feathers flying everywhere, and there was a faint smell of blood. Yet, Ning Yiyuan’s actions carried an indescribable elegance, every action was calm and unhurried, and one could feel a sense of beauty from it.
There was no need to mention Mo Chu. Her actions were carried out in an orderly manner, and there was even a hint of fluidity in it. With just a light stroke of her delicate hand, feathers scattered everywhere.
Then, Qin Yue, who was sandwiched between the two of them, was extremely miserable!
It was fine if his actions were rude, but the flying feathers stuck firmly to his body and face through his sweat. He was in a sorry state. Needless to say, the filth on his body was even worse! As expected, comparing people would only lead to death!
The people from the Dark Ocean Galaxy Galaxy who were watching from behind clicked their tongues and sighed in admiration. At first, they felt embarrassed. How could they let a little girl like Mo Chu work so much? But when they saw Qin Yue’s appearance, they immediately stood still. Great! If they were to go, they might not even be as good as Qin Yue! Instead of slowing down the progress of Mo Chu and the others, they might as well just wait obediently.
“Sigh! Forget it, let me do it.” Mo Chu could not stand it anymore. She simply reached out and took the chicken from Qin Yue’s hand. When she lowered her head to look, the corners of her eyes could not help but twitch. Sigh! This poor Jumping Beast was already dead, yet he was still tortured by Qin Yue.
Look, the feathers that were originally smooth and clean became scattered, one on the left and the other on the right! Moreover, Qin Yue did not control the strength of his hand either. In some places, even the skin and fur were torn off, revealing the bright red tender flesh… It looked really miserable!
Qin Yue was also embarrassed. He licked his lips and explained awkwardly, “Umm… I saw that Ning Yiyuan could do it quite easily!”
Who knew that it would be so difficult the moment he got his hands on it!
So, it’s my fault? Ning Yiyuan turned his head slightly and stared coldly at Qin Yue. He immediately swallowed the rest of his words back into his stomach.
“Done.” After cleaning up the Jumping Beast in Qin Yue’s hand, the job was done. Mo Chu could not help but let out a soft sigh. She took out a dagger and cut off the parts that could not be eaten. Then, she stuffed the spices and fragrant leaves that she had picked earlier into the Jumping Beast’s stomach. Then, she wrapped the whole chicken with a large leaf. Finally, she smeared a thick layer of mud on the outside.
Then, she had Qin Yue dig a hole and put some dried branches inside to burn. When the fire was almost done, she placed the wrapped Jumping Beast down and buried it.
That’s right. Mo Chu raised her eyebrows slightly. What she was doing now was the dish ‘beggar’s chicken’!
She still remembered that when they were young in the orphanage, there was not enough food. They could only eat a little meat every ten days to half a month. Everyone was hungry. There was once when they did not know where the big brothers got a chicken from, they were so excited that their little faces were red. They did not dare to bring it to the kitchen. They ran to a remote corner and started fiddling with it. Although there was not much seasoning, the taste was very fragrant! Until now, Mo Chulian still did not forget it.
However, the few people beside her were a little confused. However, when they saw the quiet look on Qin Yue and the others’ faces, they could only swallow their doubts.
Finally, after waiting for almost half an hour, Mo Chu finally made some movement. She held a dried branch in his hand and swiftly dug out the beggar’s chicken that was buried in the bonfire.
Thus, the pieces of mud that had been burnt black were seen again.
“Alright, everyone, come and have a taste.” Mo Chu reached out and touched it. When she felt that it was almost done, she turned around and shouted at everyone, “One piece for everyone. Don’t snatch it.”
Uh… What was there to snatch from this piece of mud? Just as this thought flashed through their minds, a strong fragrance wafted over!
F*ck! What was that smell?
The people from the Dark Ocean Galaxy and the others quickly turned their heads to look. Mo Chu was using a rock to gently knock on the ground. The layer of mud on the outside fell off by itself and the layer of green leaves was peeled off. The fragrance of the beggar’s chicken immediately filled the air!
Their thoughts were stuck in their minds. At this moment, Dark Ocean Galaxy and the others were like perverts who had seen a beautiful woman. They drooled and ran towards the mud on the ground!
“What are you doing? This is mine, and you still dare to snatch it?”
“Don’t you know how to respect the old and love the young? Give this big one to me.”
…
Thus, the Dark Ocean Galaxy people who had been walking in a reserved and cold manner immediately changed their style and became proper foodies! Just for the sake of fighting over a slightly bigger piece of beggar’s chicken, they were about to start a war!
“Hmph!” Jimo Lin naturally saw the situation and could not help but frown as he coughed lightly.
Hence, the people who had been fighting fiercely earlier instantly stopped their actions.
Not bad, Mo Chu smiled and nodded. It seemed that the captain of Dark Ocean Galaxy’s side was still very concerned about the overall situation. Moreover, his credibility was also very strong!
The smile on Mo Chu’s lips had yet to fade when he saw Dark Ocean Galaxy and the others slowly walk forward and offer up the largest beggar’s chicken in their hands. “Brother, this… you can eat it!”
“Yes.” Jimo Lin nodded his head and his cold face also softened a little. However, this action of taking over the beggar’s chicken was not sloppy as he grabbed it in one go!
“Uh –” Mo Chu opened her mouth wide in disbelief. Could it be that Dark Ocean Galaxy’s people walked in such a unique style? Every action was unexpected!
Under the cold gaze of Jimo Lin, the remaining few people quickly chose their beggar’s chicken. They held it in their hands and did not eat it. All of them turned their gazes towards Mo Chu. After all, none of the main force members had eaten it, how could they be the first to eat it?
Hence, being stared at by this burning gaze, Mo Chu could not help but cower a little. She pulled out a faint smile and said, “Alright, everyone hurry up and eat!”
After that, she took the lead to push aside the leaves of the beggar’s chicken and tore off a drumstick. She placed it in her mouth and took a bite! After that, her eyes could not help but light up!
Perhaps it was because he had always been wandering around the Magical Region, the meat of this Jumping Beast was extremely firm. It tasted surprisingly tender and after a period of roasting. The fragrance of the stuffed fragrant leaves gradually permeated into the chicken meat, adding some fresh fragrance to it. The taste was so much better than those feed chickens in the 21st century!
Mo Chu, who had eaten all kinds of delicacies, felt that this so-called beggar chicken was exceptionally delicious, let alone other people!
The expressions on each of their faces were intoxicating. Oh my God! This was too magical!
The chicken itself was suffused with a strong fragrance. Just as it was placed in their mouths, before they could even hide and savor it, the tender chicken meat had already melted in their mouths, leaving behind only a faint taste on the tip of their tongues. It made them unable to resist taking another bite!
Thus, unknowingly, the entire beggar’s Chicken had been eaten clean by them. Even then, they still felt that it was not enough. All of them stared at the remaining chicken bones in their hands with eager eyes. It was gone. How could it be gone so quickly? They looked to the side. Damn it! It was even cleaner than their father. There was not even a bit of meat left!
“Why don’t we go and catch a few more?” Qin Yue wiped the oil off the corner of his mouth and stared at Mo Chu with a face full of desire. He knew that following this little girl, there would definitely be a lot of delicious food. Look, this was foresight!
Hearing this, the eyes of Dark Ocean Galaxy’s group immediately lit up and they nodded in agreement.
Mo Chu really did not know whether to laugh or cry at this moment. Previously, she had felt that there were too many Jumping Beasts and there would definitely be quite a few left. But now, it seemed that she had indeed underestimated the appetite of this group of people!
“Alright.” Jimo Lin swept them a cold glance. “If you want to eat, you can cook it yourself. Don’t count on Mo Chu.”
As soon as he said that, Ning Yiyuan and Mo Yang looked up at him. Although these two usually looked generous, they immediately became petty when it came to Mo Chu. They were allies for the time being. Mo Chu helping to cook was fine. However, if they wanted to treat Little Chu as a cook, hehe, don’t even think about it!
However, from the looks of it now, this Jimo Lin was quite tactful.
“Oh…” Dark Ocean Galaxy and the others looked at each other before replying in a low and dejected voice.
It was over! After this feast of beggar’s chicken, they wondered what the heck were the things they had eaten in the past. They could no longer accept it at all. Their hearts were filled with a heart-wrenching feeling. Furthermore, the fragrance of the beggar’s chicken was still reverberating in the surroundings, it made them feel extremely conflicted.
“Alright,” Ning Yiyuan took a step forward and said in a deep voice, “Since everyone has already…”
Before he could finish his sentence, they saw him frown!
It was not just Ning Yiyuan. The others’ expressions changed as well, and they all lost their voices!
This scene made the audience outside the screen feel conflicted. What the hell… What was going on? Could it be that he had been poisoned again? No! This little heart of his could not take it anymore!
“Could this be…” After a long while, Jimo Lin finally spoke out in shock. His usual cold demeanor had completely disappeared, leaving behind only a thick shock. The energy within his body was still vibrating intensely, wave after wave, even their heartbeats had become disorderly.
“Mm.” Mo Chu nodded slightly, the corners of his mouth curling up into a faint smile.
“Close your eyes and cultivate properly.” Ning Yiyuan and the others had already experienced this kind of thing a long time ago. Naturally, they were more experienced than the people from the Dark Ocean Galaxy, so they could not help but remind him softly.
“Thank you.” Jimo Lin nodded, and nodded slightly towards his team members.
Seeing this action, the excitement on their faces could not be concealed. However, no matter how excited they were, they had to restrain themselves at this moment. They focused their eyes and carefully felt the elemental energy around them.
The netizens were already confused by this. One by one, they flooded the comments section.
“Please explain. Thank you.”
“What’s going on? Hurry up and come out and translate.”
“I have already seen this conversation five or six times. I still don’t understand… So sad!”
Right at this moment, a very familiar ID of a Federation netizen appeared once again.
‘Please Call Me King’ posted a message…
“If my guess isn’t wrong, they should have consumed Spirit Food and are currently increasing their elemental abilities. Woah! Just thinking about it made me feel very excited!”
The moment this comment appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
Only then did the citizens of the Federation come to a sudden realization. That’s right, that’s right!
As for the netizens from the other galaxies, they were even more confused. Therefore, the current situation was… Mo Chu and the rest had just eaten a meal of Jumping Beasts, and their elemental energy had grown by leaps and bounds? Are you f*cking kidding me?
The excited excitement, the doubtful suspicion, everyone simultaneously cast their gazes onto the screen, their little hearts beating rapidly.
Not to mention the gossipy netizens who were thinking about this matter, even the representatives of the various galaxies on the high platform were staring at Mo Chu and the rest without blinking.
The Federation did not hide the news about the Spirit Food. However, they could not just listen to the Federation’s words. Now was the best opportunity. Whether the Spirit Food was truly as miraculous as the rumors said, or whether it was exaggerated and fake, it would all depend on this!
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Ning Yiyuan and the others were fully focused on absorbing the elements, not daring to relax the slightest bit.
Towards this thing, Mo Chu was the one who had the most say.
After such a long period of research, she finally discovered that the reason why the Spirit Food she had created had the ability to increase one’s elemental attribute special ability was because it would form a small magnetic field around one’s surroundings. The concentration of the elements in this place would be hundreds of times higher than usual. It was because of this that as long as one took this opportunity to cultivate diligently, one would be able to achieve a very obvious improvement.
Half an hour later, the few of them opened their eyes one after another. The shock in their eyes was almost overflowing.
“I… I’ve gained three levels!” A man from Dark Ocean Galaxy said with a trembling voice. His tone was filled with surprise and disbelief.
Even though it was only a small three levels, for people of their tier, sometimes they might not even be able to gain one level after a year of cultivation. Now, they had only eaten a meal of beggar’s chicken, and they had already achieved such an effect. It was as if they had picked up tens of billions of Federation Coins on the ground in broad daylight.
“I gained two levels.”
“I’m the same as you.”
The rest of Dark Ocean Galaxy could not help but feel excited in their hearts as they reported their gains one after another. After they had all finished, they turned their gazes toward Jimo Lin. “Boss, how much have you gained?”
Jimo Lin raised his head slightly, his tone was indifferent, but he could not hide the excitement within. “Four levels!”
One had to know that his cultivation had already stagnated for almost three years, and now that he had such an unexpected surprise, how could he not be excited?
“Wow! Captain is indeed amazing!”
“Sigh, I thought I had risen enough, but I didn’t expect Brother to surpass me.”
The corners of Mo Chu’s mouth curled up slightly, and she explained softly, “This is based on everyone’s cultivation talent.”
Hearing this, Ning Yiyuan who had been silent all this time turned his head and looked at Mo Chu.
“I’ve risen by more than four levels.” The implication was that my potential was higher than Jimo Lin’s.
Everyone was still extremely excited just a moment ago, but in the end, they were struck down by the joint attack of the Jimo Lin and Ning Yiyuan. The corners of their mouths could not help but droop. Tch! So what if his talent was high?
As for the surrounding crowd, they were already on the verge of going crazy!
Most of them had only heard of the Spirit Food and had never seen its effects with their own eyes. In the end, there was a real-life version of it today. They could not be any more excited!
“I can’t believe it…”
“After feasting on some Jumping Beasts, their elemental ability has increased drastically. Haha, I already have a premonition that the number of Jumping Beasts in the Magical Region will plummet!”
“You’re thinking too much. Do you think that Spirit Food is so easy to make? If they fail to cook it properly, they might end up being poisoned instead!”
“That’s right. When I think about it, I instantly feel that Lucky Star is awesome!”
“I beg for Mo Chu’s contact information. I’ll reward you handsomely!”
“Scram! You wretched man!”
“Aiya, I feel that Little Chu is so awesome. I’ve decided that she’ll be my Goddess from now on!”
“Hahaha, welcome to the Lucky Star Fan Club!”
