The next day, when Aoki woke up, he saw the Flame Glass Leaves growing all over the ground and almost fainted from happiness.
Seeing his expression, Xu Milu couldn't bear to tell him that she had seen the legendary firebird yesterday.
【Flame Glass Leaf: The entire plant is highly poisonous; only the cones at the tips of the leaves are edible, have a sweet taste, and can be used to make high-end desserts.】
The Flame Glass Leaf is indeed a magical plant. It has heart-shaped leaves, and the whole plant has a crystal-like texture. At the end of each leaf grows a round, white, spherical fruit that, when squeezed open, contains a fine powder similar to sugar powder.
Driven by curiosity, Xu Milu licked a tiny bit, only to feel a tingling and bitter sensation on the tip of her tongue.
"Lady Miru, this is the powder of the Flame Glass Leaf. Its sweetness far exceeds that of fructose extracted from fruit, so it is not advisable to eat it directly."
Aoki immediately explained, "When using Flame Glass Leaf Powder, it needs to be diluted with water, like this."
He gently pinched up a little powdered sugar, sprinkled it into the kettle, shook it slightly, and then gestured for Xu Milu to taste it.
Xu Milu took a sip with some skepticism, but her eyes widened in surprise.
The highest praise Chinese people can give to desserts is that they are not too sweet, but diluted Flame Glass Leaf Water has an indescribable sweetness with a long-lasting aftertaste, making people fall in love with the taste at first sight.
"Sir, the sugar powder you have collected is enough to last for a long time. High-end pastry chefs usually choose to use this sugar powder to make high-end desserts, which are provided to special groups of people who cannot eat desserts."
Aoki explained with a smile.
Xu Milu suddenly realized that this was the special sugar supplied to diabetic patients.
No wonder it's so precious.
...
...
After three months, Xu Milu finally returned to the dock the day before the "Golden Princess" was to depart.
Besides the tents and Flame Glazed Leaves that were on display, Xu Milu's system slots were almost completely filled.
After being transformed by the Dark Cuisine Pack, Aoki's appearance changed drastically. His face looked much more mature than Aomori's, making it easy to distinguish between them.
Seeing her unharmed brother, Aomori nearly lost his composure. Only then did Xu Milu realize that no one had anticipated the premature eruption of the volcano. Not only did the Aomori mercenary group suffer heavy casualties, but many of the gourmet hunters who came to take advantage of the situation also went missing.
Compared to this, Xu Milu's luck in daring to enter the Forest of Dogs all by herself is truly enviable.
"By the God of Gourmet Food, and by the esteemed Miss Milu, you saved my brother, which means you saved the entire Aoki Mercenary Group."
Without Aoki needing to explain further, Aomori understood everything. He bowed slightly, mimicking Aoki's gesture, his expression extremely serious.
"You may not understand, but Aoki is my only family in this world. I swear on my life that from now on you will be the most honored guest of the Aoki Mercenary Group and the Aomori Merchant Guild, and I will never break my promise."
He waved his hand slightly, and a waiter presented him with a strangely shaped gold card.
"This is the Aomori Merchant Guild's gold card. With this card, you can enjoy unlimited spending on the new gourmet route. Wherever the Aomori Mercenary Group passes through, you can enjoy the most prestigious treatment."
Xu Milu took the card, thought about it seriously for a while, and then asked, "Can any request be fulfilled?"
"Any requests."
Aoki repeated it solemnly from the side.
...
...
The "Golden Princess" returned to the port of Dobe, and the entire dock was crowded with islanders who came to welcome it. Various merchant guilds gathered, waiting to obtain the freshest and rarest ingredients. Countless young people crowded the port, just to catch a glimpse of the victorious food hunters.
Xu Milu, carrying her luggage, quietly disembarked from the ship under the escort of mercenaries. That evening, as agreed, Aoki sent someone to deliver a human-faced fruit in a box.
The human-faced fruit looked like a smaller potato, with an unremarkable appearance. After Xu Milu used the dimensional jumper's encyclopedia to check that it was not poisonous, she stuffed it into her mouth.
"..."
She looked in the mirror; her pupils were still that distinctive golden color.
Xu Milu blinked in confusion:
"I don't feel anything. Could it be that I'm eating it wrong?"
As soon as she finished speaking, it was as if a drop of ink had been dripped into her pupils, slowly turning black until they returned to their original color.
Xu Milu was a little excited and tried to imagine Liu Hongmei's appearance in her mind. Soon her face began to change. Her cheekbones became higher, her almond-shaped eyes slowly lengthened, and her figure gradually became more defined. A minute later, the image of "Liu Hongmei" appeared in the mirror.
"It really works!"
Xu Milu, feeling playful, started imagining what a popular male celebrity looked like while looking in the mirror. Sure enough, the mirror reflected a handsome boy with silver hair and peach blossom eyes.
She even tried to transform into Aoki's appearance, which frightened the clown turtle on the side into retreating into its shell and not daring to show its head for a long time.
...
...
This adventure was incredibly successful; Xu Milu almost couldn't return to Earth after purchasing all the ingredients needed for the Perfect Food Shop.
Overwhelmed by the joy of the harvest, she nearly exhausted the dimensional jumper's energy by using gene editing to modify the seeds.
