HCB Chapter 387 Twin Scorpion Tower (3)
Chapter 387 Twin Scorpion Tower (3)
"How is it? Not bad here, right?"
"Yes, it is indeed a good place."
No wonder it's a country that has gathered the world's greatest capital!
Other things came to mind.
The plight of ordinary people in South Korea is probably unimaginable.
In contrast.
In all the countries and regions of Terra, the Dragon Kingdom ranks among the top in terms of the treatment of its ordinary people.
South Korea has already entered the "cyberpunk" era ahead of schedule!
The plight of ordinary people is easy to imagine.
The two browsed through more than a dozen floors and bought a lot of things.
Ye Kai bought three sets of the "Seven-Colored Dragon Set" in one go!
From gold, green gold, red gold... to purple gold, and even the hidden "black gold" and "white gold" versions, they have it all!
He had witnessed firsthand how terrifying these "pheromone essences" could be.
Just one drop.
It can instantly make Pokémon experience the illusion of "eating pork" and become "Sylveon"!
Fairy Ibrahimovic
He also swept away a large number of handmade Poké Balls!
I didn't buy the previous timeline because I felt it wasn't necessary.
If you don't buy this time, it's like not taking advantage of a bargain – that would be stupid!
The Twin Scorpion Tower has so many good things.
This is the only chance!!
Not buying.
Once the Twin Scorpion Tower is destroyed, you won't be able to buy it anymore!!
Ye Kai is prepared to buy it even if it means going into debt!
No, you have to pay in advance to buy it!
As for whether or not to pay it back.
By then, even the Korean-Chinese alliance will no longer exist.
What a load of rubbish!
Despite his thoughts, he still took Honglian for a leisurely stroll.
The two had been shopping for seven or eight hours, and their spatial backpacks were already full of four items...
The value of the purchased goods has already exceeded 100 million.
"Try this."
He specifically ordered several dishes that he had eaten with Hongyan in the previous timeline.
"What kind of vegetable is this, yam?"
"No, it's bamboo shoots."
Some basic vegetables are also available in this world.
However, they all come from tree fruits.
Eating it will not have a significant effect on elves or humans; it will only satisfy their hunger.
Therefore, it did not receive special attention.
笋？
Sashimi-grade bamboo shoots?!
Honglian used chopsticks to pick up the delicately arranged white bamboo shoot slices on the ice that hadn't melted.
I only felt it upon tasting it.
It makes your mouth water and leaves a pleasant fragrance.
So crisp and so tender!!
Wow, bamboo shoots can be this delicious?
The texture is amazing, just as good as meat!
"What was added to this?!"
She quickly asked.
"Nothing was added, just the best spring bamboo shoots that were just unearthed this year."
This type is also called "black mud tribute".
The real-life Huangnigong (Yellow Mud Archway) is incredibly fragrant when stir-fried with cured pork.
"Farmers need to rely on the wild boars' keen sense of smell to dig out of the black soil one by one..."
Ye Kai explained.
They certainly know how to enjoy life...
The two ate and strolled around, soon reaching other floors.
It's perfectly fine for a baby to not sleep for a day or two.
The merchants inside the tower also grasped this point.
It's basically open 24/7, 365 days a year.
He also bought a large quantity of freshly made rice cake dough.
Korean rice cakes are considered a traditional delicacy.
It is said to have happened a long time ago.
As immigrants from China spread overseas, rice cakes, a popular food, became popular worldwide.
However, in recent years, rice cakes have mostly been products of mechanized assembly lines.
Handmade rice cakes are becoming increasingly rare.
It's much more expensive!
To welcome the New Year, there are also shops selling rice cakes at the Twin Scorpion Tower.
Ye Kai naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.
He's a man known as "Tao Dailang"!
He had originally planned to visit "Kate's Elf Square" in Liancheng.
Find the old man who makes rice cakes and ask him to help you make them.
However, we received some disappointing news.
The old man was during the seven-day natural disaster.
Unable to withstand the intense heat and sunlight caused by Primal Groudon, it has long since passed away and gone to paradise.
This matter has only been put on hold until now.
There's one more small detail.
Ye Kai originally thought that the name "Kate Elf Plaza" was just a coincidence.
But in fact, it's not.
Elf Plaza is a global chain.
The big boss behind it is Yang Xue, and also "Yilian"... no, she should be called "Kate".
This demonstrates the strength of the Superpower Alliance front.
It has also infiltrated the Dragon Kingdom invisibly through the form of capital.
Ye Kai used the excuse of going to the toilet to temporarily send Honglian away for a few minutes.
Then he went to the tea room and released Tao Dailang.
[Hurry up! Here are the ingredients for rice cakes. Make me two poisonous rice cakes. You don't need many, just two will do. And be quick!]
Tao Dailang remained silent.
The peach shell silently opened a two-finger-wide slit and then sucked in a large clump of rice cake ingredients.
He observed the entire process of making the "poisonous rice cake".
It turned out to be the case.
Tao Dailang's rice cakes also have this kind of preparation method.
It is like a mold in itself.
Once the peach shell is squeezed and the venom is infiltrated, the process is complete.
only……
This seems to take a lot out of it.
Just like squeezing out caviar, Momoshiro perked up and returned to the Master Ball after making the rice cake.
interesting.
Not just Venom...
No wonder it tastes so good; it's not surprising at all.
Ye Kai didn't think anything of it.
Taking crabs as an example, the so-called "crab roe and crab paste" refer to those parts.
For almost all living things, those parts are the most delicious.
Fish, shrimp, crab... there are countless examples, and of course some require removing the fishy smell, which is a bit more troublesome.
Many legends, mythical beasts and spirits.
Although it is set to be genderless.
But actually, it does exist...
Typical examples include Latios, Latias...
In the TV version, Lugia even has children, and Rayquaza appears in multiple forms...
Tao Dailang and his three "treasure companions" were all male.
The corresponding "厄诡椪" naturally refers to the female.
The young widow who single-handedly killed Peach Boy and his three companions.
Such a powerful individual can hardly produce anything.
"Where have you been? Why haven't you come out for so long?"
"Of course I went to buy you something delicious."
As he spoke, Ye Kai took out two purple, donut-shaped poisonous rice cakes.
"This is a limited edition; you can't get it anywhere else."
"..."
Honglian's face said, "I don't believe you for a second."
However, this rice cake seemed to contain amazing elemental energy, which made her take it seriously.
Good grief, they didn't even bother to pretend to poison me?
"Such concentrated poisonous energy, are you trying to poison me to death?"
"...Eat it or not, it's up to you. If you want to know how I broke through the level 80 pressure, you'll find out once you eat it."
"Besides, if I poison you to death, my level 85 pressure will be ruined, and I'll be hunted down to death by Red Center... Would I do something so self-destructive?"
Honglian thought about it and agreed.
His eyes rolled slightly.
With a hint of suspicion, she accepted the rice cake he offered.
There's no need to clash with Ye Kai over a little food.
He wouldn't be so stupid as to think that ordinary food could "poison" him.
The panacea she kept in her tooth socket was a special tribute, making her immune to all poisons!
Red Lotus gently parted her pearly teeth and took a small, shallow bite.
Um? ! !
……tasty!!
What...what is this? Why does it taste so good?!
She was captivated by the delicious taste for several seconds.
A shiver ran through my body...
By the time I realized what was happening, I found myself showing off my second purple rice cake.
"How do you feel?"
Ye Kai asked tentatively from the side.
Honglian felt a surge of potent poison coursing through her meridians, rushing straight to the top of her head...
Then it felt like my blood was boiling, burning intensely!
She herself didn't realize that her eyes were glazed over and she was trembling uncontrollably...
The range of perception has expanded dramatically.
3 kilometers, 5 kilometers... and it's still expanding!!
Even in the sea of clouds outside the Twin Scorpion Tower.
On the two playful blue cottonbirds, the soft, silky fabric on their wings was clearly visible!
This is... a huge boost to my fire affinity and aura?!
"Do you still have any of these rice cakes? I'll buy as many as you have, I'll offer a hundred million for each one!!"
She blurted it out without even thinking.
[Ha, you're getting a good deal and still acting innocent. You should know that something of this caliber couldn't be bought for a billion...]
[Now you know how I broke through level 80 pressure, right?]
[Don't try to tell this secret to that old man in the Red Palace, or your consciousness will soon dissipate.]
While Ye Kai gave her an immense benefit, he also gave Honglian a nuclear bomb.
While she was completely absorbed in enjoying the "strength increase" brought about by the delicious food.
Ye Kai cupped her head in his hands, and the two stared into each other's eyes for 3-5 seconds.
They implanted a rather powerful "personality fragment" into her!
"You...aren't you afraid of Grandpa...?"
"Afraid? Why would I be afraid of an old man who's about to die?"
"Don't worry, as long as you listen to me obediently, your future will be a million times better than following that old geezer around eating his asses!"
Only now did Honglian realize how terrifying Ye Kai was.
No, she had a premonition all along.
Ye Kai can now take action at any time to "erasure" her main personality.
In a sense, it's no different from being dead.
Now, she is completely obedient to Ye Kai.
Although the poisonous rice cake can't achieve the same incredible effect as Momo Dairo in the original work.
However, Ye Kai can make up for this shortcoming through the method of "personality fragmentation".
Don't feel guilty, just do things normally. Remember, you mustn't reveal any of my secrets, or I'll log in using your account.
Honglian has also played online games.
Naturally, they understand what "top number" means.
[Please don't do anything rash, I'll do whatever you say.]
She had no choice but to continue shopping with Ye Kai.
When the two visited the 183rd floor, they saw the Ditto, which also existed in the previous timeline.
It's just compared to the last time.
The Ditto was in much better condition.
But he still couldn't escape the countdown to his death...
"The products of cloning are truly tragic..."
Because the more a gene sequence is cloned, the less complete it becomes.
In addition, being a Ditto, its lifespan is controlled.
Honglian sighed.
Ye Kai, however, was thinking about something different.
The previous timeline.
When he was the acting gym leader of the Poison type, he even borrowed Ditto from her.
The "babies" he has now mostly reached level 20.
There's no need to ask her to borrow Ditto again.
He is now self-sufficient.
"Let's go and see other places."
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he led the red lotus to the 174th floor.
Soon the two of them saw the group of "future species" bionic robots!
"This is!!!"
"This place actually has something like this?!"
"Just these things alone make our trip worthwhile."
Anyway, Honglian is now "one of us".
Since it's already "insured," some secrets can naturally be revealed openly.
"Wait here, I'll go find the person in charge and get this whole batch of goods!"
How could Honglian dare to have any objections?
She was waiting for Ye Kai in the exhibition hall.
Good heavens, South Korea is secretly researching something like this?!
I just don't know how these guys' fighting power compares to the "Polygonus series".
Who is stronger and who is weaker?
After finding the salesperson, Ye Kai directly explained his purpose.
After a brief exchange, the two...
He released his iron poison moth.
"Where...where did you get this?"
[Don't ask questions you shouldn't. I have the remains of 200 Porygons, as well as a large number of patches, upgrade plugins, power amplifiers, lava amplifiers...]
[If we were to make a deal, I believe your company's "bionic mechanical beast" would become the most advanced weaponry, and your stock price would skyrocket.]
Feeling Ye Kai's terrifying pressure.
"...Please wait a moment, let me go find my supervisor to discuss this with you in detail?"
[Go quickly and return quickly. Don't keep me waiting too long. Your every move is under my superpowers' surveillance.]
"Yes, sir! I'll take care of it right away!"
Salespeople who can work on the 174th floor are no ordinary people.
They knew more or less about the combat data and performance parameters of the bionic elves.
Because they were all promoted from among the researchers, they were able to go on to do sales.
The machinery industry is a very demanding field in this world.
If a customer asks you for parameters and information, and you can't answer any of them, then you might as well quit.
When he saw Ye Kai's modified iron poison moth.
The salesperson was utterly shocked and stood frozen in place!
Such performance!
It can even be overclocked; it's an architecture I've never seen before!
Even the parent company of the US's "X Rocket".
Xilu Group, Mikazuki Corporation of South Korea, and Yaoling Thermal Power Plant of China...
Even the combined technology of four parties cannot surpass this unique piece!
Go against the sky!
Just who is this person?!
"Whoosh!"
Ye Kai quickly teleported back to Hong Lian's side.
