"President, President Yilong?" Guan Liyuan looked helplessly at Yilong, who was already lying on the wine table.
Didn't he say he would accompany him for dinner? Why did he pass out after drinking one glass?
Fortunately, there were not only Guan Liyuan and Yilong at the banquet. In addition, Liu Maoxing and Director Mansam of the Institute were also there, and the big table was piled with... no, it was piled high with various dishes.
Mansam had seen Guan Liyuan before... on the monitor in the No. 1 protection area!
At that time, the "situation drama" between Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing gave Mansam a great shock...
And this time, Jieno introduced Chiyo as Liu Maoxing's opponent. She had vaguely discovered something, so Jieno also went to Black Gold Lake first.
Sanhu was not in Black Gold Lake at that time, but Jieno heard Alufalo and Chiyo talking about Sanhu's coming.
So Jieno left the Black Gold Forest, notified Yilong, and then rushed back again. There was no communication signal in the Black Gold Forest!
While Yilong stopped Sanhu's power to destroy the human world, Jieno also saved Zhen Zhenzhen who was seriously injured by Chiyo.
In terms of strength, Zhen Zhenzhen and Jieno are similar, both are stronger than Chiyo. However, when Zhen Zhenzhen faced Chiyo, he was inevitably affected by his emotions, especially the last distraction, which made Chiyo reverse the situation and stab him twice!
Fortunately, Jieno arrived in time and saved Zhen Zhenzhen with the resurrection knife technique.
On the other hand, after being forced back by Yilong, Sanhu also took Chiyo and Alufalo away, and naturally did not take Liu Maoxing. This shocked Alufalo. The boss actually "gave up"?
After that, Yilong took Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing back to the IGO headquarters, saying that he wanted to treat Guan Liyuan to dinner. In addition to Yilong, Director Mansam was also at the table.
Although Mansam usually looks silly and looks like a bald uncle, he is actually not only the No. 2 in IGO in terms of strength, but also deeply trusted by Yilong.
In the comics, after Yilong was seriously injured by Sanhu, he was killed by a sneak attack by Blue Netero, and the second-generation president who succeeded him was Mansam.
At the beginning of the banquet, Yilong toasted everyone with a glass, and with just one glass... he was already drunk on the table!
"Hahaha, don't worry about the president, the president's alcohol tolerance has always been like this, I'll drink with you!" Mansam laughed.
Yilong and Mansam's alcohol tolerance are completely two extremes. Not only is Mansam's alcohol tolerance amazing, but even his life menu is all kinds of wine dishes.
The specifications of this banquet are also very high. Not only are there all kinds of high-grade ingredients, but there is even Mansam's full life menu... But Yilong's own menu did not appear here, because Yilong's menu does not exist for "deliciousness".
Therefore, Mansam also felt that this banquet was very "weird". Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing did not refuse to accompany him to drink. Although he used a wine jar that was more than one person tall, and Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing used wine glasses, this was already very much to his taste. Ordinary people's drinking method could not satisfy him, but...
the two of them showed the evolution of gourmet cells one after another!
From the beginning of the banquet, Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing seemed to have a strange phenomenon of glowing and expanding their bodies every time they ate a dish.
Normally, although the level of Yilong's banquet this time was higher than when he entertained the members of Zone 0, it would not cause such a big reaction. After all, those who could eat were at least members of Zone 0.
Even Guan Liyuan's strength did reach the level of members of Zone 0, but...
judging from the reaction of gourmet cells alone, he was completely at the level of a "novice gourmet hunter"!
This kind of "startling" banquet was the first time Mansam participated, but for Guan Liyuan, it was another leap forward!
Gourmet hunters are very convenient in this regard. As long as the potential of the gourmet cells is sufficient and the gourmet demons are controllable, they can quickly improve their strength by eating.
Now that the gourmet solar eclipse is approaching, IGO and the Gourmet Club are also collecting ingredients in the hope of "piling up" a few more masters...
After Yilong's "appreciation", Guan Liyuan also won IGO's Zone Zero set meal, and the two sets of the Gourmet Club set meals won by Liu Maoxing were delivered by Arufalo as promised not long ago.
Because it was just a takeaway, Yilong did not make it difficult for Arufalo.
At this time, in addition to Mansam's life menu, there were more than a dozen dishes made from ingredients above level 100 hunted by the gourmet world, and these two sets of sets!
Although most of them are only ingredients within level 100, the dishes made from them can only be regarded as "checking for deficiencies and filling gaps" for the members of Zone Zero or the branch heads of the Gourmet Club, but for Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing, it is a rare opportunity to supplement the basics.
At the beginning, Mansam was still staring at the two of them. If the potential of the gourmet cells has been exhausted, eating more food will only cause backlash. When low-level cells devour high-level cells, if the gap is too large, there will be backlash...
It is not that an ordinary gourmet hunter can directly "pile" into a master. Whether it can be absorbed is also related to the potential and strength of the eater!
However, Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing have no problems in this regard. As "forum incarnations", the potential of their own cells is full. In terms of strength... With the reinforcement of telepathy or God's kitchen utensils, they are not weaker than the members of Area Zero.
After this reinforcement, Guan Liyuan estimated that he could be compared with Zhen Zhenzhen, Jie Nao and others in terms of strength, reaching the top 10 in the human world! What
surprised Guan Liyuan the most was that by coincidence, Guan Liyuan found something that penguins can eat at the igo headquarters!
At the same time, Guan Liyuan also felt helpless...
For example, when he was in high spirits, Guan Liyuan asked Mansam "What can I do to make money now?"
"Make money? Are you short of money... What for?" Mansam asked with a slightly drunk face and a curled tongue.
"Eat!" Guan Liyuan said seriously.
"What to eat?" Mansam didn't think there was anything wrong with this... Instead, it was nonsense. Money should be used for food!
"Eat money..." Guan Liyuan said helplessly.
Just a few hours ago, Guan Liyuan and Yilong had just arrived at the igo headquarters. It happened that a batch of "gourmet gold coins" after die-stamping were about to be shipped out of the headquarters, so Yilong took a few of them and gave them to Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing to taste the hot gourmet gold coins. It's not often that you have the opportunity to eat them.
That's right, as the "hardest" currency in the human world and the collateral for all currencies issued by other government organizations, the "gourmet gold coins" are edible items.
Considering that this is the era of gourmet food, this is also a normal thing...
Each denomination of gold coins is made of different rare ingredients. The similarities are that they can be stored for a long time, have loose storage conditions, and are not easy to deform.
For example, the largest denomination of "100 million" gold coins is made of "chocolate gold" with a capture level of 100. The original capture level was 92, but later the mining site was contracted by igo, who wanted to steal it under igo's nose... The difficulty rose to 100!
Others, such as the "10 million" gold coins, are the shells of the Earth Dragon Turtle, which are "fried" crispy and delicious after special cooking techniques; the "one million" gold coins are made of spices second only to Melk Stardust, which can be ground into powder for use as seasoning...
As a result...
Guan Liyuan discovered that each of these gold coins is effective against penguins!
If there is only one, Guan Liyuan can still convince himself that it is a coincidence, and that the ingredients needed to make the gold coins are the corresponding ingredients, but... He has eaten so many ingredients before, and none of them are effective. Now he doesn't even let go of the "change" of 100. Sure enough, the gold coins are the key, right?
