Chapter 246 Chapter 246 Hungry
"I attend a lot of academic conferences, so I certainly wouldn't remember something as unimportant as this."
Albedo said.
"But I do remember attending an academic conference as an outstanding student back in college. Back then, I had no influence and no teachers to guide me. I tried to squeeze in among the researchers' discussions, but unsurprisingly, I failed. I had to go to the snack table with other students who couldn't understand what they were saying."
"But just when it was my turn, an old man who cut in line snatched the last piece of dim sum on my plate. I'll never forget it."
"That's outrageous! How can you be so uncultured!" Li Hua raged. "How angry must you have been back then to remember this for so long!"
Albedo: "Actually, I'm not entirely angry. It's mainly because that old man is Azmis."
Li Hua:........
"So that's how you met Azmis?"
"About the same."
Albedo wasn't very interested in talking about Azmis, but he still answered.
"Azmis heard what I was saying to the other researchers, talked to me, and thought I had potential. So he approached me and gave me the opportunity to submit my resume. I took it, and that was that."
...At that time, I shed my blood for Azmis in exchange for his kindness, but I certainly never thought that one day I would end up like this.
I guess everyone else sees me as an idiot who didn't take advantage of a chance. After all, working under Azmis is an opportunity everyone dreams of, and yet I messed it up...
Albedo was lost in thought as he stared at the spicy chips in his hand when he heard Li Hua say with sudden enlightenment.
"The academic conferences on Gavin Planet are truly terrifying and unfair. Even someone as strong as Azmis can't get snacks during breaks without cheating."
Albedo looked up, staring at Li Hua in a daze, and finally burst out laughing. "You're right. That's why that scheming old man always ordered me to help him grab some in subsequent academic conferences. I haven't eaten much myself."
"You're so honest. No wonder Azmis trusts you so much." Li Hua shook his head. "Back home, even parents wouldn't dare let large quantities of delicious snacks share a room with their own children."
Since Azmis asked Albedo to help get some snacks, Albedo also took some for himself. Azmis didn't know about it either, and even if he knew, he wouldn't say anything.
Li Hua said, "Albedo, you're so obsessed with junk food since you came to Earth, isn't it because you haven't eaten good food before?"
Albedo:?
How on earth did you come to this conclusion from "I don't eat tea break snacks"?
"...Earth's characteristically high-calorie junk food doesn't exist on many planets, making Earth's diet widely praised by many aliens in the universe. Some multi-ethnic families even spend several months of each year on vacation on Earth just to eat popcorn, and some aliens even immigrate to Earth specifically for the chocolate."
Albedo explained.
"So do you understand? It's not that I haven't eaten good food, it's the junk food on your planet that's the problem."
Li Hua:.......Then for us who were born and raised on Earth, doesn’t this mean that we have never eaten good food?
It would have been fine if Albedo didn't explain, but once he did, Li Hua became even more confused as to why Albedo was so resistant to junk food.
From the "grabbing of snacks", we can see that the people of Gavin don't have any social culture of upholding the laws of nature and abandoning human desires and not caring about worldly things. Eating has become a normal thing for aliens to travel to Earth. Li Hua really can't understand why Albedo treats eating spicy French fries as if he has been stained with something unforgivable.
After the Martian Hunter from the neighboring universe came to Earth, he became crazy about Oreo, but he didn't seem to have as much resistance as Albedo.
It can be said that Albedo's dissatisfaction with Benjamin was not only because Azmis did not serve any water at all and the two did not leave a good impression when they first met, but also because of his desire for junk food.
Albedo usually doesn't come down from the attic and doesn't participate in conversations. When Benjamin is present, the two of them will definitely argue with each other.
Now is a good opportunity. Li Hua decided that no matter what he did today, he must help Albedo get rid of this awkward situation where he was clearly enjoying himself physically but was unforgiving with his words!
So, Li Hua said, "Albedo, you always say that your obsession with chili fries is a mental imprint left on you by my DNA. Have you ever tried controlling variables? For example, trying foods I've never eaten before?"
Today, stuff Albedo's mouth with everything Benjamin eats, doesn't eat, junk food, and non-junk food. He doesn't believe that he can't cure this guy who says one thing but does another!
"...No need. I have no interest in your Earth food."
Albedo is so smart that he actually realized that the pot of hot sauce and French fries did not belong to Benjamin, but he was just unwilling to admit his true nature.
Just like you can't cure a person who is pretending to be sick, or wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, Albedo doesn't think he can be persuaded.
So Albedo stuffed the last bit of spicy chips into his mouth and stood up: "I'm going back to continue my research."
But after Albedo took a few steps, he fell down as if he was disconnected.
Before his nose kissed the ground, a hand grabbed his arm. Li Hua, holding the Eagle Beak Staff, put away the [Sleep] card and typed in the group chat with his other hand:
[I've tied up Albedo and am going to stuff his mouth with Earth's delicacies. Today I'm going to cure his bad habit of saying one thing and doing another, but not the other!]
Jason's chat bubble popped up when Li Hua tied Albedo to the chair: [.......I'll be back later today. I'll knock on the door when I get back.]
But don't let him see any abstract images like magic daddy.
Benjamin's chat bubble popped up as Li Hua was ordering food on the food delivery platform:
[I'm allergic to peanuts.]
In other words, except for peanuts, everything can be stuffed into Albedo's mouth while he is using his clone.
"When you take me home tonight, don't look into the house."
Jason put his phone back in his pocket and said to Kevin in the driver's seat.
"I don't know what Albedo said to anger Li Hua, triggering his magical daddy mode. For the sake of your integrity, your eyes, and the social safety of those two people, I suggest you curb your curiosity."
Otherwise, if we really meet the magic daddy, it will be embarrassing for everyone.
Kevin: What the heck is a magic daddy? Can you magic boys change forms?
However, although Kevin had never seen the magic daddy, he had seen what Li Hua could do when he was angry. Looking at Jason now, it was obvious that these things were nothing compared to that "magic daddy".
So the smart Kevin chose to turn on the car music to dispel the doubts in his heart and keep Jason's warning in mind.
.......
When Albedo woke up, he found himself tied to a wooden chair and his eyes were blindfolded.
He subconsciously tried to break free, but then found that his hands were still tied to the chair legs. Not to mention using the Ultimatrix, each of his fingers was even tied separately to the chair legs, and he couldn't even move a finger.
When there is no hope of escape and vision is deprived, other senses will become more sensitive.
Albedo heard the sounds of the cartoons that Benjamin and the Nakfuji cubs were watching nearby, and concluded that he was still in that Earth house.
He remembered that he was about to return to the laboratory before he lost consciousness... Could it be that some blind enemy mistook him for that idiot Benjamin and kidnapped him?
But the current situation didn't allow Albedo to blame Benjamin. He judged that the possibility of negotiation was high because the other party had tied him up without hurting him.
"Someone... Ugh!"
Just as Albedo opened his mouth to ask, a warm, irregular sphere was unexpectedly stuffed into his mouth. Just as he was about to spit it out, someone covered his mouth from behind, and something cold and hard pressed against his throat, accompanied by a sound that did not allow for explanation.
"Swallow it."
With his life threatened, Albedo had no choice but to do as he was told.
At first, Albedo was chewing the food in his mouth only because the human esophagus could not swallow such a large piece of food. But to be honest, the taste of the unknown object stuffed in his mouth was really not bad.
It's sweet and sour, with a crispy outer layer and a meaty texture inside.
The thing unexpectedly tasted like food, allowing Albedo to easily chew and swallow it. "What did you feed me?"
"Sweet and sour pork with pineapple."
The blindfold was suddenly removed, revealing Li Hua, who was wearing a magical girl skirt and a plastic fork handle, with a strange smile on her face.
"I specially collected the things here. I've definitely never eaten them before, but don't you like them just as much?"
Albedo:........
Albedo instantly understood what was happening and was furious: "What are you doing! You tied me up just to make me eat Earth's high-calorie junk food?! Where's the truce agreement?"
"You know I was just feeding you, delicious food at that. I didn't hit you or scold you, so how did that violate the truce?" Li Hua said, "Besides, you say you don't want Earth food, but you've been enjoying it, haven't you? Come on, Albedo, face your desires!"
"You have such a strong aversion to the human body, and even to nature, because you reject the appetite that is a physiological instinct of all species, and you feel guilty about it. But this is wrong."
"The desire to eat and the yearning for delicious, high-calorie food are biological instincts. Preserving natural principles and suppressing human desires is anti-human."
The previous encounters with Azmis and Albedo have already proven that it is impossible to convince the stubborn and arrogant Gavin with just human words. One has to use force to wake up their dormant souls, and then use tough measures to force them to face reality and their own hearts.
Tsundere has been retired, it's time to use physical straight ball!
Benjamin and Albedo are incompatible. Jason has to play the good guy, so Li Hua, a young magician who will only stay in the local world for a short time, has to play the good guy and use his bird-beak wand to completely unlock Albedo's desire for food!
Albedo's face flushed. "I didn't enjoy this high-calorie junk food. It's this human skin...it's this human skin that made me like this!"
"I hope you can still be so stubborn later."
Li Hua used the disposable chopsticks in the takeaway to pick up a piece of sweet and sour pork covered in a transparent sweet and sour sauce. His gentle smile, which was the same as usual, looked particularly strange in Albedo's eyes at this moment.
"It's okay. Even the stubborn Gavin Star genius has to go through this. Azmis did, and so did you."
"Now, do you want to open your mouth yourself, or do you want me to open it for you manually?"
-----------------------
Author's comment: Azmis (non-aggressive stubborn Gavin genius) - was beaten by a ten-year-old kid, destroying hundreds of years of hard work (and his biochemical suit)
So, Albedo, this is the path that our predecessors (?) have walked!
