Collectors in Food Captives

Chapter 37 Seafood
Treasure Hall

Zhang Wei took off his clothes in front of the bronze mirror, thinking about the secret of illusion.

The shape and appearance of the body change slowly, sometimes getting old, sometimes young, changing height, short, fat and thin...

Wang Meng, Supervisor, Tang Zhihun, Wu Yong, Bruce...

Each face switches back and forth.

Mo Du said from the side: "Congratulations, your Illusion Technique has finally been accomplished. You are very talented. Back then, it took me at least three years to reach this level."

The time flow rate of the Treasure Hall is different.

The main hall is ten times the standard flow rate, the left side hall is where time freezes, and the right side hall is the place where Mo Du is imprisoned.

The time flow rate of the right side hall will increase according to the quantity and quality of the collection, and it is now close to 40 times.

"It's all about your hard work in teaching, by the way, how long have you been here."

Mo Du bowed his head: "About eight years."

The almost crazy speed of time has allowed Mo to spend eight full years in captivity.

In the past eight years, Mo Du's temperament has changed drastically.

From the grumpy little sister at the beginning, she has become a lovely and pitiful weakling.

Now she no longer has the look of eating Zhang Wei raw.On the contrary, every time Zhang Wei comes to deliver meals, he looks very happy.

The long imprisonment made her very eager to talk to people.

"Ugh……"

He has no enmity with Mo Du, and she was imprisoned here in order to learn skills.

Killing it now, letting it go is not a good choice...

…………

……

With Dacheng's illusion technique, Zhang Wei can finally realize his plan.

Labor dormitories.

"Supervisor, you are here."

"Announce one thing, you don't have to go to work today."

"Ah? Is there such a good thing?"

"I fought for it. Don't leave the dormitory and make a fuss. It won't affect you well."

As a worker, not having to go to work is of course a great thing.Repeatedly assured that she would never step out of the room.

The supervisor, of course, was Zhang Wei. While letting the workers squat in the dormitory, he went to the warehouse to get ingredients.

And the real supervisor...

Of course already passed out in the corner.

In this way, Zhang Wei knocked out more than a dozen supervisors in a row, and the fake ingredients were enough for a hundred people.

"Hey, I put so much effort into going to work, I should be awarded the best employee award."

Spread out the list of food in your hand, all of which are transported from all over the world.

Some are hunts by gourmet detectives, and some are traded with other platforms.

Since Haru's attack last time, Xifeng has thrown out all the gourmet inspectors, while he has retreated and practiced penance, intending to increase his strength.

Of course, all of this is inseparable from the support of money.

[Discovered ingredients that can be stored: Yellow Scale Trout]

[Capture Level: 6]

[Introduction: A huge carnivorous fish, very ferocious.There are more bones and less meat, and the taste is salty, but the shark's fin is chewy and light, which is extremely high-quality. 】

【Discoverable ingredients: Overlord Sea Cucumber】

[Capture Level: 7]

[Introduction: An adult body tastes delicious and juicy, weighing more than 20 kilograms, and will spray acid to protect itself. 】

[Discovered food that can be stored: Yanze abalone]

…………

……

Most of the ingredients Zhang Wei chooses are seafood, as well as fish lips, hide glue, black-bone chicken, mushrooms, cuttlefish and so on.

There are more than ten kinds of these ingredients, which can be fully replaced to find a better formula for Tongding Jiujin Soup.

Taking abalone as an example, there are only a dozen kinds of high-quality edible abalone in Blue Star, such as wrinkled plate abalone, variegated abalone, sheep abalone, net abalone, Japanese dried abalone...

As for the abalone in the gourmet world, there are nearly a thousand species known to be registered.Although half of them are extinct, there are more than [-] existing species.

Zhang Wei only collected five or six kinds.

If he wants to realize his ideal of collecting ingredients from all over the world, Zhang Wei still needs more efforts.

"It's a pity that only a dozen kinds of ingredients can be stored every day, and the copying time is extended to one day, which is a huge amount of work."

"Judging from today's harvest, there are ten more options for the recipe of Tongding Nine Gold Soup..."

"Unfortunately, both the type and the speed of copying are too bad."

Opening the illustrated book of abalone, there are only more than one hundred kinds of regular ones.

Looking at the illustrated book, Zhang Wei drools, what a spectacular sight it would be if these more than 100 kinds of abalones were gathered together.

With his own talents, it is no surprise that he has made some legendary dishes.

"There are more than 100 kinds of them, and there are a lot of tricks."

"If there are more than 500 existing species that are destined to be collected..."

The bookcases are full of food guides, all of which Zhang Wei borrowed from the library.

All kinds of ingredients are divided into categories, and there are hundreds of books.

And these can't even cover one-tenth of the categories in the gourmet era!
Zhang Wei opened another illustrated book.

There are no photos of the ingredients here, but they are all lead paintings, colored drawings, etc., accompanied by a lot of text for introduction.

"Road to Extinction of Legendary Ingredients"

This is a collection dedicated to some extinct ingredients and the stories behind them.

Wine-making bee: a heterogeneous species of bees that collect grains, fruits, etc. instead of pollen, and ferment and brew wine in the hive.The degree is between 8-22, and the human brewing masters can't beat it.

Garden elves: A mysterious life form that often lives in the green plants of the manor, steals human items, and presents elves with cakes.A celebrity chef once analyzed a sample and said it could not be replicated.

Cloud Cotton Candy: In ancient times, clouds descended on land...

…………

……

Every ingredient in the book is very legendary. Leaving aside the story of the interaction with humans, just the characteristics of the ingredients themselves are enough to attract Zhang Wei.

"Good stuff... good stuff..."

Every time a page is turned, Zhang Wei will make this kind of exclamation, accompanied by bursts of heart-wrenching pain.

"So many good things are extinct like this?"

"Why didn't you wait for me!!!"

There is no picture on the last page of the book, but only to warn readers to cherish nature and protect the foundation of ingredients.Don't let past regrets repeat itself.

It also lists a large number of ingredients that are about to become extinct, including rainbow fruit.

"Extinction?"

"No, I don't agree!"

"Before I collect it, you have to hold on!"

…………

……

The lower part of the city of progress, the alchemy workshop.

Unlike the cleanliness and elegance of the upper city, the lower city is full of violence, crime, sex...

Among them, the manufacture and sale of contraband is one of the most profitable businesses.

The general manager of the Thieves Alliance entered the alchemy workshop, and the strange smell of the solution kept penetrating into the tip of his nose.

In the laboratory, a bald, one-eyed, skinny weirdo is doing human experiments.

Regardless of the wailing of the test product, various injections were injected into the body, and various strange features appeared on the body surface.

"The pupils are dilated, and this experimental subject didn't hold back."

"Hey, can't you get some high-quality ones? If you awaken your gourmet cells, you shouldn't die so easily."

The skinny weirdo was very dissatisfied, and said to the general manager behind him: "I have seen the pigeon blood pill you sent, and it is easy to copy. But the medicine is a bit weak, if you replace it with my version...hehe."
