Xu Milu felt that her current situation seemed a bit tricky.
In the mirror, those bright golden pupils blinked, turning into vertical pupils like those of a feline when stimulated by a light source, inexplicably reminding Xu Milu of snakes in the "Animal World" documentary.
To be fair, those eyes were beautiful enough; the pale gold pupils were like sparkling gems, or like a golden lake covered with fallen ginkgo leaves.
When Xu Milu gazes at her reflection in the mirror, she almost has the subtle illusion that she is gazing at some elegant and beautiful large animal.
...
Given the current situation, it's definitely not advisable to go out.
Xu Milu let down the stray hairs on her forehead and sighed helplessly.
It was clear that the alien genes in her body had started to take effect, and the extreme behavior of Liu Hongjun's family had further provoked her, which led to her momentary loss of control.
Her family assumed it was because she was under too much pressure from learning to cook and didn't suspect anything.
Fortunately, she has been living alone in this yard recently, and apart from the big black dog Kaka and the few poor hens she uses for experiments, no other witnesses have seen her strange and beautiful eyes.
The contact lenses she ordered online haven't arrived yet, so Xu Milu plans to use this time to continue exploring the food-themed world.
It has been almost three months since she last left Buji Town, which also means that two and a half years have passed in the Food World.
But this time Xu Milu was well prepared. In addition to bringing wilderness survival and camping tools, she also prepared a handy kitchen knife.
— In China, controlled knives are hard to find, but kitchen knives are readily available.
This is perhaps the source of confidence for a great culinary nation.
【Wheat Ear Seedlings (Suitable for Sowing) * Unit】
[Unknown Beast Egg *1]
[Unknown ancient book*1]
[1 kitchen knife]
[Miscellaneous items *1]
[Fire fox fur *1]
Xu Milu reluctantly stuffed the fox fur and the ugly egg into the pile of miscellaneous items, finally freeing up two more storage compartments.
The fire fox pelt could generate heat automatically, which was beyond the comprehension of earthlings, so she always kept it in a storage compartment.
Of course, Xu Milu would never forget the most important thing—the instant noodle seasoning packet.
Who knows, she might get rich quick from this.
...
...
The air in the Food World was still fresh. To be on the safe side, Xu Milu chose to land in a secluded, dense forest in the Snow Valley.
Birds chirped, bees and butterflies fluttered, and large patches of milk berries and breadgrass grew in the green bushes, their leaves rustling in the breeze.
But Xu Milu still keenly noticed something different, or rather, she discovered some details that she hadn't noticed before.
Hidden in the bushes two meters away was a small, unidentified bird.
On the treetop behind her, a monkey-like creature was perched.
Five meters away on a tree trunk, a spider was spinning its web and enjoying its meal.
Is it because of these eyes?
Xu Milu touched her eyes, not surprised.
...
...
As dawn broke, the soldiers guarding the town entrance of Buji had already begun their routine inspections. A long line of horse-drawn carriages slowly moved forward, each loaded with basket after basket of ingredients.
Many children with arms as thin as reeds carried large baskets on their backs and darted around in the procession, selling homemade pastries from the baskets to people. Occasionally, a small disturbance would occur, but the city guards would quickly come over and sternly reprimand them, and the procession would become orderly again.
Xu Milu's black hair and golden eyes may be unusual, but among the various red-haired, blue-eyed, blonde-haired, and blue-eyed residents of the Food World, she is not particularly eye-catching.
She changed into the mercenary outfit she had worn in the Gourmet Dimension. The old man sitting in the unicorn carriage noticed her and smiled, saying:
"By the God of Gourmet Food, miss, are you planning to go into the city to board the 'Golden Princess'?"
Xu Milu was taken aback: "'Golden Princess'?"
The old man smiled proudly: "Yes, yes, that's a great beauty from our Phuket Island. It's docked at Dobe Port, and every year tens of thousands of mercenaries fight tooth and nail to board the ship, just to sail to the Forest of Dog to find delicious ingredients—aren't you one of them?"
“I’ve been away from Buji Town for a while, so I don’t know the details—does this ship belong to the Wolf Head Mercenary Group?”
Xu Milu probed.
The old man looked sympathetic:
“Oh, I see. No wonder you didn’t know… Ever since the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, Su Lang, was sentenced to death by the Baron two years ago, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group has ceased to exist in Buji Town. Now, Lord Aoki is in charge.”
The woman standing nearby chuckled and interjected:
"Yes, Lord Aoki is truly benevolent. Not only did he abolish the annual planting tax, but he also never interferes with what we plant. God of Gourmet, by your side!"
"Lord Aoki is such a good person!"
"Yes, ever since the 'Golden Princess' cruise ship arrived, there have been more and more tourists on the island—"
The crowd was full of praise for Aoki, and Xu Milu thoughtfully touched her chin.
...
...
Xu Milu once asked Maggie that the fastest way to reach the Forest of Dogs was by boat. Obviously, after the Wolf Head Mercenary Group disbanded, the Green Wood Mercenary Group took over the Dobe Port in Mermaid Harbor, and the "Golden Princess" is the best proof of that.
The port was crowded with ships and people coming and going, making Xu Milu feel like a sardine in a can.
