"Ugh~"
"Ugh~"
Despite the bitter and sweet flavors being balanced, Zheng Hao still felt somewhat nauseous.
Suppressing his nausea, Zheng Hao had no intention of eating anything more.
He asked about a few more ingredients with fewer side effects, then held the [sweet water] and waited quietly.
"Holy crap..."
"Dude, you're really something!"
"For the reward, you're treating your stomach like a living person..."
Haiyi looked at Zheng Hao with an exaggerated expression.
He realized that this "Son of the Cloud Dragon King" was far more interesting than any other prodigy he had ever met.
"Investigate the taste of the food beforehand, and use flavor to neutralize it?"
"You're really something!"
Since he didn't need the reward of the "mysterious grand prize" anyway, Haiyi had no intention of interfering or competing with Zheng Hao for the prizes in the "material accumulation competition," even though he already knew about Zheng Hao's plan.
"Salted fish" can just lie flat.
What does it mean to strive for first place?
That doesn't exist!
Standing beside Zheng Hao with great interest, Zheng Hao looked at the approaching competition and saw more and more [Navigators] approaching the booths, looking eager to try. He hurriedly looked around, as if he had discovered something, and came to a booth.
"boss!"
"Could I please have a disposable glove?"
"You can have it!"
The stall owner didn't pay attention to Zheng Hao's request.
Zheng Hao took a disposable glove and went to the restroom.
When he returned, everyone stared at him in utter bewilderment.
"Zheng Hao...where...where did you go?"
"Ugh... bathroom... ugh... the restroom!"
Mo Yurou looked at Zheng Hao with a strange expression. She could understand him going to the bathroom, but why did he need disposable gloves?
"you..."
Why do you have a lisp?
"Uh...no...no..."
Zheng Hao pursed his lips, and his voice did indeed become choked with sobs.
Everyone around him stared at him curiously, especially Haiyi, who looked horrified: "Dude! Wearing gloves into the bathroom, you're not going to become 'Old Eight' (a euphemism for a prostitute), are you?"
"I admit I underestimated you. Has your tolerance for food really reached such a terrifying level?"
"Go... ugh... go to hell!"
Zheng Hao cursed Hai Yi, but still covered his lips.
He did go to the bathroom and do something.
He wrapped the disposable glove around his tongue, then bit his tongue to crumple the glove and get it stuck in his mouth.
This was done for one purpose only.
Protect the senses of the tongue.
I tried to neutralize the reaction to "strange foods" with flavor before, but the effect was not very obvious.
Even the most intense sweetness or bitterness will still cause a strong reaction in your mouth after swallowing.
but...
What if we block out the senses of the tongue?
This method only became popular on Earth a few years ago.
There was a child at the time who needed to drink Chinese medicine.
We tried giving him candy and adjusting the taste of the Chinese medicine, but he just couldn't drink it.
Finally, the parents tried covering the child's tongue with a disposable sealed bag, and surprisingly, the child successfully drank the traditional Chinese medicine.
Later, after a doctor explained it to me, I realized that doing this could block the tongue's senses.
Right now, the most important thing is to stand out from the crowd and become a ruthless food machine.
While a tongue protector may not completely block out taste, when combined with flavor blending, it can essentially eliminate the sense of taste altogether.
"Hmm~"
"Hmm~"
After getting used to the awkward feeling in his mouth for a while, Zheng Hao remained silent.
This method is actually incredibly stupid, and if the tongue cover comes off, there's a risk of accidentally blocking the trachea. He wouldn't have done this if it weren't for the fact that people with awakened [talents] have excellent physical constitutions.
(It is indeed not recommended to use a tongue cover for eating, as it is risky. The person in question is a wall-hanger; please do not imitate this.)
"【Material Accumulation Challenge】..."
"3...2...1..."
"start!!!"
As the loudspeaker on the island began to blare.
"Damn it! Let's go all out!"
"The mysterious gift from the [Pharmacist Ship Family] can't be anything less than amazing! We'll give it our all!"
"Isn't it just eating excrement? No pain, no gain!"
"Ugh~"
"Ugh~"
Almost as soon as the competition started, countless "Navigators" at the surrounding stalls grabbed seemingly tasty foods such as "tentacle cakes" and "sashimi chewing gum" and stuffed them into their mouths to chew.
but...
"Ugh~"
"Ugh~~~"
In less than two and a half minutes, nearly two-thirds of the navigators were lying on the ground.
"Ugh~"
I vomited so badly!
"Ugh...ugh..."
The sounds of vomiting were incessant, a sight that was shocking to those who weren't participating.
"Holy crap..."
"Why do you do this...why are you doing this to yourselves..."
Haiyi looked at each of the navigators with amusement. The remaining third of the navigators were basically putting on a brave face. If you looked closely, you could see that their throats were spasming and trembling.
They were able to swallow the first food they ate.
But what about the second one?
What about the third one?
"Crunch..."
"Crunch~"
Unlike these "navigators," Zheng Hao seemed far less important.
"Gurgle~"
He ate and drank with a sip of sweet water and a "fish eye lollipop" in the same way as a normal person eating, without any expression on his face.
