Volume 1 My Neighbor Is the God of Creation Chapter 15 The Battle of Hot Pot
"That's not that bad. β
Tetsu Wu continued, "Because of my parents, I don't have a contract elf. And in this city, basically all junior high school students will get a super or ghost contract elf, and with the blessing of the elf's superpower, the intellectual potential of these junior high school students will be greatly improved. β
"So when you lose your strengths, you gradually lose the ability to compete with your peers. Ouyang blurted out.
More or less understood the specific reasons, and Ouyang also knew a little more about the city.
In general, it is a student with average IQ and average grades, and among a group of high-achieving students with an average IQ and can still take medicine (contract super elves), he is excluded and despised by all kinds of people, and over time he forms social phobia.
Social phobia is a bit of a misnomer, and it might be more accurate to say that it is a social refusal.
No matter how curious he was, he didn't ask what the "reason for his parents" was, and he knew that it was already something that belonged to the category of privacy, and it was not something that could be said.
"That's probably it. Zhewu shrugged helplessly, "But I don't have much grudge against it, it's just that Old Mai always does something futile about it." β
"I'm afraid you're going to be dangerous because of your social fear. Lao Mai rolled his eyes and poured the vegetables into the hot pot.
"I'm not going to be fine!Ahhhh
"It's common sense to put vegetables first in hot pot, okay, you settle a little. β
Looking at the two of them who suddenly made a commotion, Ouyang stepped forward in time and pressed Zhewu's head to stop his stupid behavior.
"But then again, although I don't have combat power, I can also see that with Tetsuwu's current combat strength, it should be easy to defeat a super elf and make a contract with it. Ouyang Dao.
"In fact, with Tetsuwu's current combat strength, if he had a contract elf, it would only be a matter of a few weeks to surpass the two Gym Masters. At this point, Old Mai paused and looked at Zhewu.
It's so strong......
The owner of the gym here is not a brainless NPC who gives people experience in the game, but an important position in the safety and defense of the city, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a hero who guards the hope of mankind.
Therefore, the eight Gym Masters produced in this environment, not to mention the eight strongest people in the Hoenn region, are at least eight of the top twenty people who are the strongest, and this concept is still calculated by counting the four heavenly kings in the Caiyou Alliance, and the gold content is extremely high.
The most intuitive embodiment of combat power is that each gym owner has the ability to face a "fairy tide" composed of a thousand elves alone, and it is enough to hold on for an hour until the support arrives on the battlefield.
Even the Four Heavenly Kings have the ability to directly solve a small elven tide on their own.
Lao Mai said that he would surpass the Gym Master within a few weeks, which meant that he would train his contract elves within a few weeks, and the two combat powers would be superimposed, and then surpass the Gym Master.
In other words: if there is no contract elf, Zhewu is the strongest combat force on the surface of Green Ridge City!
Of course, Ouyang Weibai didn't know how much exaggeration there was, but it didn't prevent him from coming to the conclusion that "Zhewu is really super strong".
Zhewu didn't say a word, and the three people next to the hot pot fell into an unusually subtle silence.
You don't have to guess to know that the "reason for your parents" must be the fundamental problem of Tetsu Wu's refusal to accept the contract elves all along.
For him to be so stubborn in deciding that a person's cultivation to such a powerful level today, the amount of suffering and dedication may be even more amazing, and what he needs to have in this is definitely not just something that can be summed up by just a "hot-blooded fool".
"The hot pot is boiling!"
Ouyang Weibai's words directly broke the silence, and the three of them invariably stretched out their chopsticks towards the hot pot.
"Damn, why are you guys so skilled!"
The duel of masters is often always decided in an instant!
In just ten seconds, Ouyang Weibai and Lao Mai's bowls were already full of vegetables such as bamboo shoots, lotus roots, potatoes, and bean skins, while poor Zhewu only had a few green leaves.
"You're too young, Zhewu!" said Old Mai in the tone of an old mage, "There will be a few seconds of hesitation the moment you hear the signal, hum, naΓ―ve. β
"Hush. Zhewu glanced at his mouth unhappily, and his eyes when he looked at Ouyang became extremely surprised, "It's okay for Lao Mai to start so quickly, why are you so fast Ouyang to start so fast!"
"Sometimes the strength of the power does not directly determine the final victory. Ouyang Weibai's tone revealed a feeling of loneliness, "And you are a mess in terms of skills." β
And you're in a mess when it comes to skill.
Mess.
Confused.
It was a mess, and these four words were like a bolt of lightning, and he didn't know what shattered what was in Tetsuo's mind, making his expression a little frightened.
"It's hard, can you say ......" Zhewu said tremblingly, "It's not the first time you've eaten hot pot?!"
"Hmph, naΓ―ve boy, what are you kidding?"
Ouyang Weibai sneered a few times, and looked at Zhewu with a sense of overlook above everyone: "Do you think that this kind of vegetable picking technique can be practiced with only one or two hot pots?" Let me tell you, I've spent the last decade struggling with a 'lifelong enemy' to get to where I am today. β
Every time he thought of the man who could win or lose at the dinner table with him for three hundred rounds, Ouyang Weibai was a little embarrassed.
Tsk, the last time I had dinner with him was half a year ago, and the self-service barbecue was also half a catty, and I had to think about an opportunity to make another appointment this summer.
"What...... What?!" Zhewu was already speechless by Ouyang Weibai's momentum.
Ouyang Weibai said in a leisurely tone: "Now I, it's not too much to say 'skill into the way'." β
"Unexpectedly...... Is it already so terrifying......" Zhewu looked at the few vegetable leaves in his bowl, his face was melancholy and his face was gloomy, and he looked like he had been hit hard.
"The pot is on again, put the meat on the meat. Ouyang reminded in time.
"Meat?!" Zhewu, who heard the word, immediately became full of vitality again, "Ahhhhββ!h
"Knock ββ!"
As expected, Zhewu's head was hammered again, and of course, the person who hammered him was still Lao Mai.
"Wow, old Mai, why are you beating me again?!" Zhewu hugged his head and wailed.
"Stupid, how can you eat the meat that has just been put in! No cooked meat will only make you diarrhea!" Lao Mai said as he put the ramen in it, "The meat and ramen are cooked together, and the taste is so good." β
The ramen is freshly pulled out by the Super Fighter.
I always feel that an elf full of combat power does this kind of thing, and it is full of all kinds of indescribable disobedience......
"It's not that I don't know, I just want to use chopsticks to smash the meat!" Tetsugo immediately cried out for himself.
It is important to note here that the meat mentioned here is not the meat of elves, but the meat of some domestic animals.
There are two types of intelligent races in this world, one is the human race, and the other is the elven race.
Theoretically speaking, the gap between the two groups in terms of development potential is not large, but one has established civilization and entered the modern society, while the other has a strong force and is still in a primitive society.
Because of mutual recognition of each other's wisdom and strength, these two groups will not eat each other, and the intelligent species do not eat the intelligent species, which is the most basic respect for the intelligent race itself.
This mentality should be somewhat similar to people's protests against eating dog meat, not only because more and more people are keeping dogs as pets, but also because the dog species itself is indeed very intelligent.
If you have a very smart dog, you ask him to take the shoe, you ask him to find a leash and he will hold the leash, and then some mad person makes a bowl of braised dog meat and puts it in front of you for you to eat, 90% of the people will choose to refuse.
From a philosophical point of view, the relationship between humans and elves is still quite delicate, no matter how much they play their brains, no matter how much they fight, the final bottom line of mutual cannibalism must be guarded by both sides.
In addition to these two creatures, there is another group of creatures that is more tragic, and their existence is probably to be on the diet of humans and elves. This creature is called an animal.
Different from the animals in the origin world, the animals in this world refer to common livestock such as chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, cattle and sheep, so I personally think it is more appropriate to call them domestic animals.
Under the oppression of extreme living environments (both intelligent species feed on them), they have also evolved the most extreme survival form, that is, there are no other bells and whistles, only the most basic form of the only one, so as to adapt to all changes.
With no superpowers, no intelligence, not even a mind, they are like the most primitive cells, with only the ability to reproduce like insects and the development period of madness.
Generally speaking, this kind of species, whether oviparous or viviparous, the number of fetal survival per birth is: 10~20, note that this is not the number of productions, but the number of survival, that is to say, each birth can ensure that at least 10 cubs survive.
And these 10 cubs can reach adulthood in just one month, and then enter a new round of reproduction, and their reproductive ability is terrifying, so there is no need to worry about being eaten by humans and elves.
Of course, that's right, meat products are still very expensive in Green Ridge City, after all, Green Ridge City is an island city, and there are no large-scale farms, only a few affiliated islands that are mainly engaged in aquaculture around the periphery, and the transportation depends on freighters, and the cost is too high, so the price has been high.
