Chapter 253 Chapter 253 Hello
Since coming to Bellwood, Li Hua has felt that the pace of life has slowed down.
Although Li Hua still needs to study, debug his combat equipment, play with fourteen ice ghost cubs, exercise, practice magic and clean, all of these can be done during the day.
Night is the time when the ice ghost cubs return to the sun to rest, and Bellwood does not need to patrol at night, which makes the few hours after sunset a rare free time in Li Hua's day.
Li Hua would use this time to continue practicing magic or browsing his phone.
Jason would use this free time to continue researching the secondhand alien equipment he had found. After Albedo moved in, if he encountered something he really couldn't figure out, he could ask Albedo for help over a cheap meal of chili fries.
During this time, Benjamin would invite others to play the "Berserk Sumo" game, watch the "Berserk Sumo" anime, and sometimes even make video calls with his girlfriend, Yamamoto Julie.
In short, Li Hua and his friends usually don't go out at night when they have nothing to do.
But today is an exception.
Yesterday, Benjamin heard Li Hua say that the reason he came back so quickly after going out for a walk was because he didn't find anything fun in Bellwood. Benjamin, a native of Bellwood, was immediately unhappy and insisted that Li Hua had found the wrong place. He then decided to take Li Hua and Jason to see the charm of Bellwood tonight.
So Benjamin took Li Hua and Jason to Bellwood Shopping Center.
As a shopping mall that bears the city's name, this building is huge and is located in the most prosperous area of Bellwood.
This place is perfect for being the "best place to hang out with friends on weekends" because even if you and your friends don't know where to go, you can still stroll and chat here until you're ready to go home.
There is also air conditioning here, and it is neither exposed to the sun nor rain.
As the host, Benjamin was as happy as a fish back to water when he came here. He volunteered to act as a tour guide and took Li Hua and Jason around to have fun.
Being with good friends always makes people so happy that they forget the time, but the body will not.
The three people, whose throats were dry from talking without drinking water, decided to go to the supermarket to buy a bottle of water to moisten their throats and also buy some daily necessities that they had used up at home.
They put large garbage bags and toilet paper rolls into the shopping cart and were about to see if they wanted to buy any food.
Li Hua's attempt at cooking yesterday made Jason and Benjamin realize belatedly that their daily high-calorie diet might be a bit excessive. This diet was fine when they still had night patrols; the calories would be burned off quickly, saving them a lot of effort. But now they didn't have to do night patrols.
They have a lot of free time, so they can try to make some healthy and balanced food for themselves, and also encourage Li Hua.
Li Hua's attempt to prepare dinner yesterday was a complete failure. The originally planned pieces of grilled tofu coated in golden egg liquid turned into a pot of something that smelled like vomit and had a strange smell.
Even though Jason and Benjamin both said that it just looked like sauce and it definitely didn't taste "bad" - it might not have matched the original taste of the dish and Li Hua's taste, but it was really as bad as Li Hua described.
They consoled Li Hua: "Isn't it just that I bought the wrong kind of tofu, it fell apart when fried, and the seasoning was wrong? It's normal to make mistakes when cooking with unfamiliar ingredients for the first time. At least it wasn't mushy, there were no added raw ingredients, and there wasn't any squirming protein like Mark had. In any case, this dish shouldn't be dismissed as "food."
But after working hard for a long time to get this result, Li Hua looked like the Court of Owls beaten by the Ice Ghost. He was so frustrated that he looked like he was about to cry.
But he was rarely upset. He didn't want to throw it away and insisted on putting the leftovers in the refrigerator for his lunch the next day. He also insisted that this sinful dish should not be eaten by anyone other than himself and suffer.
Dark history... How could such a dark history be created!
When Benjamin and Jason were sure that Li Hua was serious this time and not just trying to keep the meal to himself, they didn't let the dish live until the next morning to torment their friend - even though they really felt that the dish didn't deserve such a crime.
So they bought Mexican tacos that night, heated the dish in the microwave, poured it on top and ate it as a midnight snack, and the next morning they all blamed Albedo, who was not there at the time - someone Li Hua would never ask about the food.
Li Hua was a little surprised when he heard this, and then felt heartbroken.
He can even rekindle his appetite for food that looks like mud because it has lost all its odor due to freezing. How miserable was Albedo's diet in the past? How serious is his psychological barrier to eating?
As for whether Albedo had any thoughts like "Has Li Hua's psychological barrier to feeding people worsened?" when he went downstairs to fill his kettle and Li Hua stuffed a bag of snacks into his mouth, it is unknown.
Anyway, with Albedo's stubborn personality, which is the same as Azmis's, he would not have a deep discussion with Li Hua about such things.
This is simply the perfect "crime".
"I think we could buy some bread." Jason paused in front of the freshly baked bread. "The baguettes at the counter are on sale. They're long-lasting, cheap, and low in fat. We also have an oven in our kitchen, so we can try toasting some bread this morning."
Li Hua: "That sounds good, but are you sure that oven will work?"
The house they live in now does have an oven left by the previous resident, but in a home filled with microwaved food and takeout, the brand new oven has never been turned on once.
I don't know if the inside of the oven that has never been opened has been gnawed by the ice ghost cubs. There was no oven in the house they originally lived in Bludhaven, and they didn't teach their children not to bite such appliances.
"That's all right. Even if it's broken, I can fix it. If it's not, I can still bake bread," Benjamin said optimistically. "We can also buy some milk. That's perfect for making ice cream with the kids. If it's overfrozen, it won't be a waste. It can still be drunk after it melts."
Li Hua looked up. The sauce section sign was not far away. "Then I'll go get the sauce for the bread. Do you have any specific flavors?"
Jason: "I can take any of them. Take whatever you like."
Benjamin: "Besides peanut butter, I—"
"We all know you're allergic," Jason said. "You're sharing your weaknesses publicly. Aren't you afraid your enemies might beat you up with peanut butter-covered fists?"
Benjamin: "Come on, it's 'me' who's allergic to peanuts, but Four-Handed Overlord isn't."
Li Hua: "When will you be able to become a four-handed king?"
Benjamin: "Albedo was looking for the DNA sequence of the little hero, so he helped me pull up the menu of my transformation history. Now I can transform into all the alien heroes I have transformed into."
Although Benjamin and Albedo don't get along, he has to admit that Albedo, as a member of the Omnitrix development team, knows much more about Omnitrix than he does, probably second only to Azmis.
"I'll leave the cart with you for now. We'll meet you in the sauce section later." Jason handed the shopping cart to Li Hua and said to Benjamin, "Ben, as a parent of an unexpected child and a great releaser, buying milk is a high-risk activity for you. Be careful not to lose it when you go to buy it."
Benjamin: “…”
Jason: "Why don't you ask me why I have such a constant stream of dark humor?"
Benjamin: "So you can follow up with 'because I closed my eyes and immersed myself in darkness for a whole year'? Come on, man, the same trick won't work on me."
"It's okay, Jason. Even if something like that really happens, we can make up for it." Li Hua said, "As everyone knows, Ben Tennyson will spawn at the Snow Mud Shop regularly. We can go there and get another one when the time comes."
Jason gave him two thumbs up: "Wow, Li Hua, you are a genius!"
Although Benjamin does not believe in God, he feels that with the frequency of these two people's vulgar jokes and hell jokes, if a devil knocks on the door one day and says that he feels the atmosphere of his hometown here and wants to come in to relieve his homesickness, that would be a normal reaction of the devil.
What kind of sauce goes well with bread?
Is it spread with milky butter, sweet and sour jam, or salty and fragrant garlic sauce?
There are so many kinds of sauces that can be spread on bread here that Li Hua was almost overwhelmed even after looking at the recommended combinations on the Internet.
Li Hua put a bottle of strawberry jam into the shopping cart and looked at the peanut butter next to it, hesitating.
The internet says peanut butter and jam bread is a classic combination...why not try it?
Just as Li Hua was about to get the cheapest peanut butter, Benjamin's voice came from behind him: "Peanut jam bread? It sounds good, but unfortunately I'm allergic to peanut butter."
"Then why don't you just not eat the peanut butter? Since you're here, just help yourself to whatever you like."
Li Hua took the peanut butter and was about to put it in the shopping cart when he turned around and met a pair of mint green eyes.
What moved even faster than Alarm No. 666 was the peanut butter that Li Hua threw at the face that looked exactly like Benjamin's without hesitation, and his hair stood on end.
Before Li Hua could react, his body had already taken action. The moment that face appeared, his survival instincts immediately set off a red alert for self-preservation.
Alarm number 666 made Li Hua sweat profusely along his erect hairs.
[Space-time fluctuations not belonging to the local universe have been detected. Prepare for battle.]
"Hey, I know my way of saying hello is a little offensive, but you don't have to react like a kicked cat, right? It's all in good fun though."
The boy with mint green eyes turned his head to avoid Peanut Butter. He patted the watch with cold green patterns and a square dial on his left wrist. His face with a wicked smile melted in the cold green light.
"You said I can take anything, then take your life."

The author has something to say: [Dream] card: This best defensive assist is mine!
PS: The tragedy that occurred when Li Hua made tofu for the first time in this article has a real basis, which is me [cracked].
I swear, when I worked so hard to get that thing out of the pot, I was numb. I could clearly feel that it was food when I put it in my mouth, and it wasn't bad, but I just couldn't get used to it [crack]
Finally, I realized I might not like the taste of Thirteen Spice [cracked]. We never use that seasoning at home. I bought it specifically because I saw it in a tofu recipe. The second dish I made that day (unwashed) also [cracked]. .... I've made the second dish many times and used to love it, but that day, my heart was broken [cracked].
But the food was already out of the pot. To avoid wasting it, I ended up freezing the vegetables in a lunch box. I'd thaw them in the microwave every day, eat a little, then freeze them again, and thaw them again the next day...
I went back and forth like this for a while, and I went back home for a while, so they slept in the refrigerator of my rental house.
Finally, after being told by friends and family, “Are you going to die? The money you’ll save from eating this stuff won’t be enough for your medical expenses!”, I threw the full-mooned creatures into the trash can… [burst into tears]
PS modification: Bad Ben's dial and transformation light are a colder and lighter green than the original Benjamin, not purple. The purple ones are Negative Ben and Benzaro, I remembered it wrong [burst crying]
