Chapter 1: New Life
The East China Sea in 1510
When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone into the room, Li Le was already dressed and ready to walk out of the room.
This is the Kolan Mansion on West Burro Island, where Li Le inexplicably crossed over three years ago.
He was the child of a wet nurse in Kolan Province. Four years ago, when the wet nurse died of an illness, the Klan Kodar couple adopted the child.
As for Li Le's father, no one knows who it is, and Li Le, who came through the time, doesn't care about this.
"Yatian was preparing breakfast, and Kodar was probably urging Koya to get up. Then, as usual, the study progress is checked in the morning, and the picnic is eaten in the afternoon. That's all, nothing to pay attention to. Li Le rubbed his hair and walked through the corridor to the restaurant.
All decorative utensils have become more refined, and the colors have become softer and richer. This is the hostess's territory, and the dΓ©cor, colour and cutlery are all designed by Kodar's wife.
"Xiaole, you're just in time, come and try my new cuisine!" A blonde woman was skillfully preparing breakfast at the dining table, and saw Li Le happily greeting her. She is the mistress of the Kolan family, Kelan Yatian, a mature woman full of enthusiasm for life.
After Li Le ran over and greeted respectfully, he picked up a corner of pizza and gently bit down a small piece under the expectant gaze of AtΓ©ne.
"The fragrance of flowers," Li Le's eyes lit up, and he bit the pizza little by little, "There seem to be several kinds of flower fragrances, this is Luo Fenglan, well, Meirenjiao, and pineapple fragrance!" Well, the scents are starting to mix in pairs, creating new flavors! It's amazing, the three flavors are intertwined and seem to derive more aromas. Madame, how did you come up with that? β
Hearing that the best part of her cooking was praised, Yatian was in high spirits, "Xiaole, let me tell you, the inspiration for this dish comes from the three primary colors hypothesis you mentioned. Here's how to do it ......"
"It turns out that you have to go through such a process, which is so complicated." Li Le showed a regretful expression, saying that if it weren't for the difficulty of making, such a delicious dish would definitely be popular all over the world.
When Mrs. Yatian heard this, her mood was even more cheerful, "Xiaole, I will cook it for you at any time if you want to eat, my food should not be eaten by anyone, hehehe." Actually, I have a new idea......"
In this way, Li Le listened to Yatian's gushing cooking speech, and with the most serious attitude, he sent a suitable expression and an appropriate strength of sycophants.
When the head of the house, Kedar, came downstairs with a pajama Lori, he couldn't help but laugh when he saw such an interesting scene: "Xiaole, your performance is a little exaggerated......"
Yatian glanced at Kodar, touched Li Le's head and said, "Xiaole is still worthy of my cooking skills, unlike someone with a dull sense of taste." Hum! Stupidly made you food for so many years and didn't find out, I'm angry. β
Kodar put Lori on the chair and raised her hand in surrender, "Okay, it's my fault. But I've been apologizing for almost ten years for this incident, so you should forgive me, right? β
"Of course it's your fault! Prepare to apologize for the rest of your life! After glaring at the poor head of the house again, the strong hostess looked at Kaya in the chair. As if sensing her mother's gaze, little Lori slowly curled up with her head in her arms.
Lady Atian said lightly: "Keya, I'll count to five, if you don't wake up, there will be no gifts for you!" Li Le immediately counted the doglegs quickly, "one, two, γ......."
Sure enough, before it was five, the pink and tender Xiao Keya was already sitting upright at the dining table and began to tie a napkin for herself.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The Kelan family attaches great importance to learning and education. But in life, it's more casual. When eating, you can talk while eating, but you have to swallow the food to speak.
"Keya, are you confident in waiting for the test later?" AtΓ©an asked.
"My brother said that I studied very well, and it must be fine." But Yabi is a scissorhands, full of confidence.
Yatian turned her head to look at Li Le, and when she saw Li Le nodding, she relaxed and said, "Since Xiaole nodded, I believe there should be no problem." We've got a special reward for Keya that you'll love. But Xiaole, you haven't asked for a reward in such a long time. I don't know what you want most, Xiaole? β
Li Le stood up when he heard this, and said with a straight face, "Madam, this is what Li Le should do and is willing to do, and he doesn't need a reward." "It's not sycophancy, it's not modesty, it's not a lie. This is Li Le's most real reaction now.
Although nominally, Li Le is only a servant of the Kelan family, at most he is Keya's tutor. But in fact, Li Le has been raised by the Kodar couple as their own son.
At first, Li Le couldn't believe it at all, thinking that the Kolanda couple were acting, and there was some purpose behind it. For example, there is an animation in the memory of a previous life, which has a pair of aristocratic families who like to abuse and kill homeless children and the like.
But in the past three years, getting along with everyone in the Kelan family gradually made Li Le believe that his greatest luck after crossing over may be to meet the Kodar couple.
No one can be under their own careful observation for a long time without revealing any flaws in the details. A subtle movement of the eyes, a casual small movement, people's actions silently convey the inner voice. Even without systematic training, the human subconscious mind is able to capture these details and create a sense of closeness or alienation.
Sincerity for sincerity, to this day, Li Le has long regarded the Kodar couple as relatives and regarded himself as a member of the Kelan family.
Mr. and Mrs. Kodar were sometimes busy with business, and they might be away from home for the entire month. So Li Le consciously paid attention to the study of Keya. Later, I found that the tutor who was invited to read from the book declined, and Keya's interest in learning declined. Li Le secretly taught himself, and then changed the method to open a small stove for Keya.
Slowly, Keya found that Li Le's speech was clearer and easier to understand, more vivid and interesting. So at the strong request of Keya, after the joint test of Kedar and his wife, Li Le successfully transferred to the primary teacher of the Kelan family.
Yatian and Kodar looked at each other and smiled, and said, "Xiaole, your physique is different from ordinary people since you were a child, and you can exercise diligently, rain or shine. You can see that you have the heart to become stronger, but you have been lacking the right guide. On this trip, we invited a famous swordsman to guide you. He promised to come to the door next month, Xiaole, you have to prepare in advance. β
Li Le's heart was excited, and he bowed and said, "Yes!" I'll be prepared. β
The head of the family, Kedar Wen, said, "This swordsman's name is Bangu Galewind, and he used to be a famous bounty hunter in the East China Sea. Our chamber of commerce once helped him once and got a favor. This time he will teach you for three days without reservation, Xiaole must cherish this opportunity. β
Li Le was even more grateful in his heart, such a strong person's favor was a life-saving hole card for businessmen. How important is it that it can sometimes even decide the survival of the family?!
There is no other way for the Kodar couple to make such a choice than to treat themselves as their own sons. But don't say the words of gratitude, just keep it in your heart.
seemed to see Li Le's thoughts, but Dahl said boldly: "Xiaole, you don't have to be like this. No matter how strong Jianhao is, he is far away in the sky, and this favor may not work at a critical moment. It's better to use it on you, you become stronger, and the Kelan family becomes stronger. β
"That's right, and Xiaole, we have a lot of confidence in you." Mrs. Attien then said, "From the age of six, you eat three times as much as your peers. As I grew up, the multiples rose without any signs of getting fat. What does this mean? β
Yatian said with some excitement: "It shows that your body contains great potential, at least the digestion ability is far beyond ordinary people." β
"You must know that the food of the strong is amazing, so on the contrary, the person with abnormal food consumption is very likely to become a strong person." Kedar concluded, "Xiaole, you can try it, even if it doesn't work, I believe there is no problem for you to follow the path of a scholar, don't worry too much." β
Hearing this, Li Le bowed again, sat down and took a big bite to eat, no longer saying words of gratitude.
Mr. and Mrs. Kolanda nodded in satisfaction, and the family continued to eat.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Speaking of this abnormal appetite, it is not a good existence for Li Le.
I don't know what's in my body, and I'm always asking for more and more nutrients. The amount of food that a normal person eats cannot meet the terrifying consumption in Li Le's body at all.
When he was first adopted, Li Le was afraid of eating too much and being kicked out, so he controlled his appetite. As a result, within three days, he actually fainted from hunger.
Only then did the Kodars discover Li Le's abnormality, but it was different from what Li Le expected. They did not dislike Li Le because of this, but increased the food supply. Although it was only a large amount, it was enough to make Li Le grateful. The taste of being hungry is something that not everyone has ever experienced.
Li Le racked his brains and thought of ways to repay the Kelan family until he found out that this was the One Piece world.
Before the crossing, Li Le was binge-reading novels and anime in college, and of course he wouldn't miss such a popular manga of One Piece. Although the memory of the previous life is not so clear, I still remember several popular comics quite clearly.
I remember that Usopp's lover was called Koya.
I remember that when Luffy arrived, Koya's parents had already died.
I remember that Keya was seriously ill, and she didn't even have the strength to speak, and her character was a sick and weak beauty.
Remember a pirate named Chloe who infiltrated the Kolan family a few years ago and wanted to take the family property?!
"Since I'm here, then the Kelan Mansion is protected by me." Li Le said silently.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the morning test, Keya passed without any suspense, and happily opened the gift on the side.
Li Le was a little uncertain, and the upcoming sword hero made him a little excited.
As a traverser, there is no system, no artifact, no grandfather, only a hunger that is different from ordinary people.
However, Li Le is still optimistic, maybe it is the setting of "My Body Has a Divine Beast". However, as the hunger pang continued to grow, Li Le began to worry that the divine beast was not born, so he hung up.
In addition, the body seems to faintly send a danger alarm to itself, as if the deadly danger is approaching day by day.
Almost every day, I have a dream of being tormented by hunger in the vast white fog. It seems that no matter how much you eat, you can't really satisfy your body.
Li Le's psychological pressure is getting bigger and bigger, and he is almost unbearable. But dying of his own golden finger, this setting Li Le said that it is impossible, absolutely impossible! This time Jianhao's guidance may be an opportunity for him to change his fate.
Just when Li Le was thinking wildly, Keya rushed over.
"Brother, try this!" Keya stuffed some fruit into Li Le's mouth.
"This is a cherished fruit from the Great Passage, which the locals call the Twin Silk Fruit. It looks like a red grape, but it has flocculent threads on the inside. It is said that as soon as the fruit grows, it is a pair of ...... "Little Lori Balabala has finished talking, and Li Le has already fried the pot in his body!"
Before Li Le could react, saliva had already been secreted in large quantities. Before he could bite down, his tongue and esophagus had spontaneously sent the silk fruit into the stomach pouch. The stomach was squirming strongly, and the cells in the whole body seemed to be transformed into severely malnourished refugees in an instant, waiting to be fed.
Li Le seemed to be able to feel the swallowed silk fruit, which was decomposed and absorbed within a few seconds. Nutrients are quickly delivered throughout the body, and everywhere they pass, they trigger a gluttonous feast for cells.
It seemed that a long time had passed, and it seemed that only a second had passed, and when Li Le's consciousness returned to reality, a wonderful feeling appeared. It was as if the whole world had been stripped of a layer of gray fog, and everything was added with more vibrant colors. Countless sensory information, through light, sound, and smell, poured into Li Le's brain.
Compared with the improvement of the five senses, what excites Li Le more is the satisfaction of the body. The original premonition of death vanishes without a trace, and is replaced by a surging power and vitality.
This is the sublimation of life, the freedom to break through the shackles. There is no language that can describe the emotion that this sublimation of life brought to Li Le.
The little girl over there had already screamed in surprise, and from the reflection of Keya's eyes, Li Le saw the change in herself. The skin has become whiter and a little more muscular. What's more, the spirit of the whole person seems to have been improved.
Unable to hold back the ecstasy in his heart, Li Le raised his head and opened his arms, as if hugging the sky.
"It turns out that my golden finger is this! Hahahaha, in this case, all obstacles in the future will not exist! β
