Chapter Twenty-Nine: Miss Squirrel Fish
Chen Ye opened the pupil of luck and found that around Miss Squirrel Fish's head, a large white mist swirled around.
In the center of the white mist, a little bit of deep blue is like the sea, bringing a sense of déjà vu.
This blue color is different from the blue of creation in the aura of the old erhu, but it is more similar to the two guards at the gate of Xijiang Park.
Its belly is a thick yellowish-brown hue that looks like clods of earth that have accumulated over many years.
"The yellow aura of luck appears near the stomach and intestines, which is relatively rare......"
However, according to Chen Ye's judgment, this kind of aura of luck belongs to the more common ordinary residents in "Strange Era".
I didn't find anything dangerous for the time being.
It's just that...... Miss Squirrelfish's expression was slightly sluggish, and her overcrowded facial features made it difficult to see the change in emotion from the other party's expression.
Even when he came out of the cabin, he showed a dull, numb, and lack of self-confidence. When I saw a guest coming, I didn't take the initiative to say hello, and I was slightly afraid.
"Miss Squirrel Fish, this is my new ingredient for you."
The old woman who sold chestnuts smiled and put one of the ingredients in front of Miss Squirrel Fish.
At this time, a light bloomed in Miss Squirrel Fish's cloudy eyes.
She slowly opened her mouth, and the huge mouth could fall directly to the ground from her two-meter-high head!
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as the mouth of the abyss.
When Chen Ye saw this mouth, he was almost stunned!
Even if it's three or four ingredients about the same size, I'm afraid you can swallow them in one bite, right?
Just a piece of "ingredient" is bigger than an adult.
When the grandmother who sells chestnuts has just thrown the "ingredients" over......
It didn't take a few seconds.
Miss Squirrel Fish immediately opened her abyssal mouth and swallowed the entire "ingredient", chewing and swallowing as she went......
You can see the long, fat tubular neck, obviously with large chunks of food, constantly sliding slowly down the esophagus......
The area around the neck is visibly swollen.
That's when it happened.
Miss Squirrel Fish's back suddenly had an extra bony finger falling off......
Some of the new bony fingers slowly grow out and take their place.
At the same time, Chen Ye noticed that the yellow aura accumulated on Miss Squirrel Fish's abdomen was slowly expanding.
He knew a little in his heart what this yellow aura of luck represented.
The old woman who sold chestnuts stepped forward, picked up the bone finger that had fallen off Miss Squirrel Fish's back, and introduced as she walked in front of Chen Ye:
"Miss Squirrel Fish has the blood of the deep sea, and her own physique is different from ordinary people, and her body can grow all kinds of strange organs."
"Hehe, she participated in the Big Stomach King Competition that year, and successfully won a special reward and has a stronger digestion ability!"
"Even if it is contaminated ingredients, we can't eat them, but she can eat them without much damage to her health."
"Just having developed limbs also comes at a price......"
"It often means that the mind is simpler than the average person."
"Although Miss Squirrel Fish's brain is not so fast, she has always been very enthusiastic and kind, and is willing to help others dispose of contaminated ingredients for free."
"Of course, in the process of processing, Miss Squirrel Fish will absorb a part of the energy, which is a fair deal."
"The extra energy will be turned into meat on the back, which will fall off and be converted into ingredients that can be cooked."
"The ingredients are digested twice, the contamination is removed, and the texture becomes harder, and the bite feels like a pine cone......"
The old grandmother's eyes fell on the "pine cone", as if she had picked up a jade bracelet in the vegetable market, the old grandmother rubbed it carefully, admired it, and praised:
"That's why I've given this ingredient a special name—"
"Pine cones!"
Chen Ye looked at the gills on both sides of Miss Squirrelfish's face, to the giant rat-like body, and finally to the "pine cone" on her back that looked like fish scales......
At this moment, he finally understood how the title of "Miss Squirrel Fish" came about.
"Hoo ......"
Gasping, Chen Ye rubbed his temples, resisting the mental pollution caused by the visual impact.
His brain raced, quickly analyzing everything he saw:
"In this way, Miss Squirrel Fish should be considered a friendly being."
"She has a deep-sea bloodline, and she is about the same kind as the heir of the sea prince near the Xijiang River."
"Descendants of the deep sea, usually with the body of a human, but capable of fusing the various organs of deep-sea creatures."
Judging from the information currently available, most of the heirs of the Sea Prince in "Strange Era" represent the existence of order.
It doesn't usually have anything to do with evil.
Combined with the aura of luck, Miss Squirrel Fish is still trustworthy.
Moreover, Chen Ye's gaze fell on [Pine Cone], and the aura of luck displayed in it also showed yellow.
The yellow aura of luck represents the elephant of wealth.
However, in Chen Ye's later observations, it was found that the explanation of the aura of luck was not so specific.
On the contrary, it is more of an abstract characteristic.
Abstraction refers to the fact that the imagery is not so concrete, but can represent a variety of attributes associated with it.
For example, blue represents creation, but in addition to this, it can also symbolize music, knowledge, and even the sea.
Similarly, yellow wealth represents the accumulation of material things, but this material is not necessarily wealth.
It can also be a large amount of food accumulated in the stomach of Miss Squirrel Fish.
And......
The old woman who sold chestnuts said that Miss Squirrel Fish had participated in the game of the Big Stomach King and gained extraordinary eating ability.
This is most likely a trait similar to that of the Glutton.
It can digest contaminated food and at the same time expel excess energy into a "pine cone" that grows luxuriantly on the back.
The food eaten, even if it has been contaminated......
However, due to the combination of blood and characteristics, the "pine cones" that grow can become excellent ingredients.
Moreover, due to the digestion process, a part of the energy will be attributed to Miss Squirrel Fish's body.
Translates into the energy she needs for her daily activities.
Therefore......
The "pine cones" growing on the back are all excess energy.
Eligible for equivalent exchange.
It means that if there are contaminated ingredients, as long as they are handed over to Miss Squirrel Fish, they can be provided for free processing.
Of course, at the price, the "pine cones" obtained were compressed.
Ten catties of contaminated meat may eventually be replaced with one catty of pine cones.
However, Chen Ye knew that this was not a bad thing, at least he did not break the principle of equivalent exchange, and the probability of triggering the death rule would be minimized.
"Miss Squirrel Fish, then please take care of these contaminated ingredients."
Chen Ye took off the three pieces of 'contaminated meat' on his back and put them in front of Miss Squirrel Fish.
Then, Miss Squirrel Fish slowly moved her huge body and came to the side of "ingredients".
The abyssal jaw didn't seem to be fully opened, and it had swallowed the entire giant sarcoma into its mouth.
Click! Click!
A shrill chewing sound kept coming.
Chen Ye actually felt that this chewing sound was comparable to his own suona, and this familiar feeling seemed to be like returning home...... He tried his best to resist the urge to take out his suona and play a song.
At this moment, Miss Squirrel Fish's back once again had a "pine cone" fall off and fall to the ground.
The old woman who sold chestnuts bent down, slowly picked up a few "pine cones", and said with a smile:
"Now that we have the right ingredients, we can start teaching cooking in earnest!"
