Chapter 8: Abilities and Conjectures
The next morning, Jiang Xiaobai was woken up from hunger, and the sunlight shone in, and the room was transparent. Yesterday I slept because I was too tired and didn't clean up.
When I walked to the yard and saw the prey that was dragged back yesterday, I was already a little stiff at the moment. He first disposed of the prey, then cut a piece and went to the kitchen.
There were no accessories for cooking, so I just boiled a pot of water and threw the meat in. Listening to the sound of "gurgling~" in the pot, he went to solve personal hygiene first.
After washing, I stood in front of the mirror and looked at my face, and it had been a week since I came here. There was a slight change in his face, the flesh on his cheeks became less, and the whole person was resolute with a sharp edge.
A strong scent came from the kitchen, and he wiped the non-existent saliva from the corner of his mouth and rushed to the kitchen. The meat in the pot was already stuffy, sprinkled a little salt into it, and tasted the soup very delicious.
Bringing the dish to the table he began to feast on it, and in a moment there was a small pile of bones in front of him. He touched his round belly and lay down on the sofa contentedly.
Before he could sigh that the time was so good, his stomach suddenly began to ring. This feeling is the same as the precursor to diarrhea.
Could it be that the meat was too old to digest, and he covered his belly, which was getting bigger and bigger. After a while, there was a sound of water running in the stomach.
It looks like it's really a bad stomach, he thought. There is no other discomfort when standing up and walking a few steps. Since there is no big problem, Jiang Xiaobai doesn't care about it.
Come to the yard and continue to deal with the unfinished work. After a while of work, he noticed that the abnormalities in his stomach were gone, and then the hunger pangs returned.
Jiang Xiaobai thought as he looked at his flat stomach. "Did I become a rice bucket? No, it must have been something I overlooked. ”
Most likely, something went wrong with the newly awakened ability. He focused on the form, and at a glance the word "devour" had not changed as it had been last night.
Just as he was about to withdraw his consciousness, he found that the plus sign behind the qi and blood showed a hint of red. If you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all, and this discovery surprises him.
He clicked twice and found that it didn't move, but that didn't discourage him. He could be sure that the change had just happened, which gave him some idea of the "devour" ability.
If you can let him eat all the time, and digest it through his ability, then his strength will not be able to increase soon. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but want to experiment.
This time, he directly packed up most of the prey, divided some of it and put it in the pot to cook the soup, and set up a fire in the yard to start the barbecue.
This is an old wolf's flesh with some firewood, and he keeps brushing oil on it. The roast on the shelf doesn't look medium-rare until the meat in the pan is cooked.
Fortunately, he directly fished out a big bone, turned off the kitchen fire, and carried the meat and bones outside to eat while watching the fire.
When the bones in his hand were finished, the roast turned golden, and it looked like that. Jiang Xiaobai cut off a piece with a knife and tasted it, and it tasted good.
Eating until his mouth was full of greasy happiness surrounded him, he had never eaten so happily since he came here. He found himself taking a big step down the path of foodie.
When he ate again and walked two steps, he thought of the thin Liu Bo. I received a lot of care from him in the class, but I don't know where Liu Bo's family is.
At this time, the phone that only had a call function appeared in Jiang Xiaobai's head. Walked back to the bedroom and stood at the head of the bed to the phone, because there was no Internet function, he usually did not bring it with him.
Dialed Liu Bo's number. "Is it Liu Bo? Come to my house and eat meat. Yes, I'm Jiang Xiaobai. ”
Without waiting for the other party to speak, he sent out an invitation. Liu Bo knew that it was him, and then he happily agreed.
After a while, Liu Bo came, carrying a small jar in one hand and a book in the other.
"Wow, your dad is so good at fighting such a big animal. Liu Bo knew that Jiang Xiaobai's father was the captain of the alert team, and thought that he had brought this prey back.
"Come and eat the meat, it's going to be cold soon. Jiang Xiaobai didn't explain, beckoning him to sit beside him. "Are you going to study at my house this time?" Jiang Xiaobai asked curiously when he saw the book in his hand.
"No, isn't it going to be a final exam, I have marked some key points and brought them over for your reference. He put the book aside, and handed the small jar to Jiang Xiaobai: "This is the pickles made by my mother, and they taste very good." ”
Jiang Xiaobai took the jar and accepted his mind, it felt very good to have such a friend who was purely thinking about himself.
They chatted about school anecdotes while eating, and after an hour, all the cooked meat was eaten unconsciously. Most of them fell into Jiang Xiaobai's stomach, and Liu Bo ate a few pieces of barbecue when he first came, and then watched Jiang Xiaobai eat most of the time.
"Is it okay for you to eat so much at once? "Liu Bo has heard that people who have been hungry for a long time will die if they eat a lot at once. Jiang Xiaobai's eating method as if he was a starving ghost reincarnated made him a little worried.
"It's okay, don't worry, I've been growing lately. Jiang Xiaobai stood up and moved, although he was a little supportive, but it was not to the point where he was uncomfortable.
"I haven't even noticed, you've really grown a lot taller lately. Hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, Liu Bo compared the height of the two of them, and found that Jiang Xiaobai was much better than him.
"Hey, huh. Jiang Xiaobai couldn't explain that he had grown taller overnight.
After speaking, Jiang Xiaobai paid attention to his stomach, and at first he could still feel the movement of food digestion in his stomach, but then it was gone. It seems that the ability to devour is still to be developed.
After making sure they were okay, they began to tidy up the yard. Taking advantage of the opportunity to pack up his things, Jiang Xiaobai looked at the table in his mind, and this time it was the same as he thought, except for the plus sign behind the qi and blood, which became a little redder, nothing else changed.
And this time the red change was not as obvious as he imagined. Jiang Xiaobai lowered his head and pondered, "It seems that the devouring ability is not so invincible, and if you want to become stronger, you have to take your time." ”
After cleaning the yard, Liu Bo left his notes and said that there was still something at home, and he would come back at five o'clock and ask Jiang Xiaobai to go to school together. And then he left.
Because he got up late, Jiang Xiaobai could only be regarded as having a meal, and it was almost three o'clock. He wrapped the rest of the raw meat in a black bag and prepared to take it to the cafeteria to see if he could exchange it for some living expenses.
Although he was preparing for the special entrance examination for sports due to family reasons, he also understood one thing, students with good grades would always be favored by teachers.
Anyway, he now has an easier time learning cultural subjects than ordinary people, which is also an advantage for him.
When he was just eating meat, he also asked Liu Bo about "Dream Academy" on the side, and determined that there were people who received awakened abilities from all over the world. And it's also free to recruit, but the money for identifying abilities has to be paid by yourself. I've heard that some abilities that are difficult to identify charge 100,000 at a time, and what's worse is that they may have to be identified repeatedly. Because there are no ordinary people there.
Jiang Xiaobai wasn't sure if his foodie-like devouring ability was good or not. Even if the appraisal fee is good, it will cost tens of thousands, which is not something that I can take out now.
Not thinking about this question, he continued to focus on Liu Bo's notes. When he opened his geography textbook, he noticed that the revised world map was divided into four large plates, surrounded by small landmasses. It's completely different from the map I remembered.
In geography class, he found that the place he was in was a point on a small land that was connected to the Holy Capital Continent and was not completely separated.
He took out the simple map he received last night, although it was a simple map, but it was quite detailed about the small section he was in.
