I can see the blood bar and my purity is extremely high

Chapter 403 Who says that cooks will never starve to death no matter how the times develop?
"Well, compared to the real hell, this place might be a little better."

An outstanding employee of the Ghost Gate Security Bureau who actually participated in the construction of the Eighteen Levels of Hell made a sharp comment on this.

"The real hell? You're talking like you've actually been there?"

Old Liu took off his prosthesis and placed it on the small table. He moved his stiff thigh and wiped the sweat stains from it.

At the same time, he also installed a mechanical arm on the arm that was equipped with the plasma cutter, and adjusted his steel right leg, which looked a little stiff.

Only then did Lu Wenwu realize that the nozzle that could eject ultra-high temperature plasma turbulence was right on the tips of Liu Linan's five fingers, rather than a separate detachable launch device.

They have now been replaced by small electric screwdrivers and miniature arc welding guns.

"Were people so superstitious two hundred years ago? Or did those experimenters instill some weird memories in you?" Liu Linan asked as he maintained his prosthetic limb. "Now we also have some strange religious beliefs, but most of them are just scams."

"No, I just do what I like in my own house. No one forces me. I can also use the Internet at will, but I am not very interested in it."

Lu Wenwu sat up from the bed with a grin, leaning against the metallic wall.

"To be honest, I have really been to the Eighteen Layers of Hell in mythology. It was all red and very dark in there, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you. The most important thing is that there was no food."

"Oh yeah, is there anything to eat? I don't mind protecting you if someone attacks, but if you don't give me something to eat, I might starve to death."

"I think those researchers must have injected some weird religious content into you, causing your memory to become misplaced."

Liu Linan showed pity on his face and placed the backpack next to Lu Wenwu.

"I only have the most common nutritional cream. I am a cripple in my thirties and I don't have the money to replace a good leg. I can't find a job and I can't afford anything else. But your treatment is really enviable. Nowadays, people have to pay a high price to even browse some meaningless knowledge."

"Thirty? I thought you were at least fifty!"

Lu Wenwu was greatly surprised and poured out all the nutritional paste in his backpack.

Not many, only ten in total.

There was also a bottle of cheap-looking medicine. Lu Wenwu instinctively felt that this thing should be of some help in repairing fractures.

"Forget about the nutrient paste. That bottle of bone growth spirit can promote bone growth. It's worth 5,846 credit points. Remember to return it to me when you have money. You and Maomao decide between yourselves who will use it. I think its IQ is not low." Liu Linan said without raising his head. "Although it is not very useful for ordinary serious injuries, the physiques of both of you are different from ordinary people, so it should be of some use."

"Thank you. I will definitely pay you back double when I make money."

Lu Wenwu pinched Maomao's mouth open, poured the Bone Spirit into it, and pinched its throat at the same time.

The process of pouring the medicine is as smooth as pouring water down the toilet.

Maomao, who was in a coma, coughed slightly and his expression relaxed a little.

After absorbing the medicine, the essence of energy extracted is instinctively repairing the broken bones and quickly recovering health.

Lu Wenwu is not worried about making money.

Are you kidding? He is a top chef!

One of the best chefs in the world!

If we include the field of egg-filled pancakes, he is undoubtedly the greatest chef in the world.

No one is qualified to compete with him in the field of cooking.

Such a top chef can make a lot of money even if he sets up a small stall. How can he be poor?
Lu Wenwu is very confident about this.

Liu Linan could not deny his confident expression.

Lao Liu is equally confident, but it has nothing to do with cooking, but in the field of fighting.

With the powerful killing ability shown by Lu Wenwu and Maomao, they should be able to reap a lot of rewards by just finding a gang to be a thug or applying for a special forces position in a large company.

If all else fails, become a killer or a mercenary.

Killing people, setting fires, and winning gold belts are always the fastest ways to make money.

But making money is not the most important thing at the moment.

The most important thing right now is to fill your stomach.

Faced with these tasteless nutritional pastes, Lu Wenwu hesitated for a moment. He tore open the packages of seven of them, threw them all into his mouth, and finished them all in just a few bites.

The body's powerful digestive function immediately began to work. The nutritional paste that had just been swallowed was completely broken down before it even had time to slide into the stomach, and turned into pure energy that was replenished into the flesh and blood.

This action made Liu Linan's eyes widen.

One piece of this thing is enough to sustain a person's basic needs for most of the day. It is enough for lying down and doing nothing all day.

Even for mercenaries who need to engage in high-intensity combat, eating two or three pieces on a daily basis is enough.

Eating seven in one go, aren't you afraid of eating yourself to death? ?
Before Liu Linan could speak, Lu Wenwu looked over with his hungry eyes, touched his stomach lightly, and licked the corner of his mouth.

"Any more? Can you give me another hundred? I'll pay you back double when I have the money."

Seven tubes of nutritional paste are simply not enough.

Not to mention filling up the stomach completely, it can only barely soothe the dried-up cells in the body that are crying out for food and slightly relieve the hunger.

It wasn't even enough to make up for the physical damage caused by the fatal blow.

Lu Wenwu didn't even dare to use all of this energy directly to supply his self-recovery ability to repair his injuries. He could only let it be supplied to various muscles first to barely maintain the minimum level of mobility.

He can use willpower to withstand pain and injury.

If you can't move because you don't have the strength, then you really have no idea what to do.

In Lu Wenwu's calculations, he wanted to completely recover from his injuries, restore his whole body to its current peak state, and fill his stomach.

At the very least, one hundred tubes of nutrient paste are needed.

There is still a gap of ninety-three.

Even though he was extremely hungry, Lu Wenwu didn't dare to eat any more.

Maomao needs much less energy than him, but he still needs it.

These will be left to Maomao.

Seeing Lu Wenwu's hungry eyes, Liu Linan's mouth twitched: "I have almost used up all my savings to buy the treatment products for you two. These ten tubes of nutrition paste are my last property. If I eat them myself, I can last ten days if I save them."

"You mean, because one piece of this thing can barely sustain an adult's daily energy expenditure? And it doesn't take up space in the stomach, so it's sold at a very high price?" Lu Wenwu slowly typed a question mark.

He remembered what Liu Linan had said just now, that people in this era have to pay a very high price to learn knowledge.

Maybe Liu Linan himself doesn’t know how to cook.

If you make it yourself, the cost will be lower. At most you will have to eat more and digest and absorb it while you eat.

Thinking of this, Lu Wenwu said confidently: "You can get some ingredients. I'm a very good cook. Just give me salt and fire, and I can make even the most unpalatable things as palatable as possible. We can cook by ourselves."

"Salt? Food? It seems that your era was unexpectedly wonderful. It's really desirable."

A fleeting longing flashed across Liu Linan's eyes.

"Nutrient paste is the cheapest thing. Because it tastes too bad, it is usually used in conjunction with the taste regulation system and the perception shielding system. As for the ingredients and salt you mentioned, they are only affordable for the rich and can only be found in restaurants. We, the bottom-level rats, can only eat artificially synthesized nutrient paste."

"What is this? Artificial synthesis?"

Lu Wenwu was shocked.

At this moment he realized that the chef might really be starved to death.

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

Make bricks without straw.

Even a chef of his level can't cope without eggs and flour!

It is indeed a cook's hell.

Lu Wenwu was a little upset: "Does everyone have to eat this for their whole lives? No rice, flour, meat, or vegetables? Can anyone tolerate not having a hot meal in their entire life? Can they get enough nutrition?"

"Not really. For someone like me who works hard to scavenge and can barely save some money, we can occasionally eat a few pieces of synthetic meat grown in a flesh factory throughout the year." Liu Linan spread his hands. "See, I told you that you are an old-fashioned person who doesn't understand modern technology. All the nutrients necessary to maintain vital signs are already integrated into the nutrient paste."

"What the hell is synthetic meat? Are the costs of raising ducks and rabbits that high?" Lu Wenwu scratched his hair and started to get mad. "If I dare to feed my cat like this, it will immediately slap me with its claws and mouth, saying it's abuse!"

"Look, back when you lived in an era where you could keep a pet cat, it was such a wonderful thing, wasn't it? In this era, only the gentlemen in the upper city have the leisure to take care of such things. We can hardly even feed ourselves, and my living conditions are considered good among the lower class."

Liu Linan patted his intact shoulder and spoke earnestly.

"Maybe the cost of large-scale breeding is not high, but the company does this because artificial synthesis has lower costs and higher profits. In front of the company, profit always comes first. In this city, credit points are above everything else, and credit points can do anything."

"What about leeks? I don't believe that something that can survive with just a little soil and a little water can be undercut by artificially grown vegetables." Lu Wenwu was eager to find something edible.

"It has been fought, but not completely. The prices of natural plants are very high in Coconut Juice City, even the former agricultural crops."

Liu Linan explained slowly, a tiny light screen flashing in his eyes.

"Oh, I just searched it. The plant called leek you mentioned can be exchanged for a bottle of Shengguling for 50 grams. The price of the artificial synthetic version is about one tenth of that."

Lu Wenwu: "???"

He couldn't hold himself any longer.

Less than 6,000 yuan per pound?
With this calculation, if you want to eat a meal of leek and egg dumplings made with natural ingredients, it will cost tens of thousands! ?

Wdnmd, this is an international joke!
Just when he thought this was already very unbearable,
Liu Linan continued, "Well, not all natural plants are that expensive. For example, cocaine, poppy, marijuana, tobacco leaves, these highly addictive things are very cheap. The price of low-quality finished cigarettes is even so low that I can afford to smoke them every day. Low-quality alcoholic beverages are about the same."

Lu Wenwu was silent.

He suddenly thought of a very free and democratic country.

All the top echelons are time-tested and unwavering socialist fighters, and all their actions are aimed at gaining more and greater benefits.

Someone once imagined it.

When zbism develops to its extreme, it is replaced by cyberpunk society - at least in terms of social structure.

The upper class reaps huge profits, while the lower class spends a lot of money on addictive consumer goods such as alcohol, DP, cigarettes, and gambling, and indulges in cheap pleasures every day to be exploited by the upper class.

Therefore, in the main mission of this dungeon, the shackles should refer to the company.

So, to break the shackles means to replicate V Zhentian's operation, attack major companies single-handedly, and kill all these damned vampires directly?

If we dig deeper and peel away the surface meaning, the shackles should also be hinting at this kind of anti-heaven ideology?

Do I need to break this deformed social system and reshape and reorganize the entire social class?
Thinking of this, Lu Wenwu just felt a headache.

In such an environment, he was asked to complete Taizu's great deeds and bring about a new world. How could he, a barbarian who only knew how to make egg-filled pancakes, figure it out?

If it really doesn't work
All we can do is to grow and then pay tribute to the legendary Candy Crush player, Hongwu Emperor Zhu Chongba.

As long as you kill enough, the problem will be solved.

Lu Wenwu quickly finalized the final plan and goals based on his many years of experience in capital investment.

So next.
Next, finding a way to make some big money becomes the most important thing at the moment!
Thinking of this, a good idea suddenly popped up in Lu Wenwu's mind.

"Hey, Lao Liu, how strong is the binding force of your current contracts?"

"Contract?" Liu Linan had a strange expression on his face. "In the Lower City, the legal effect of a contract is about the same as a piece of waste paper, because the laws jointly formulated by various companies basically do not apply here. The management cost is too high. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless you spend a certain amount of money to ask a company to notarize it, and if it involves a transaction, you have to give the company a commission, so that the contract will be binding. As for the strength... Anyway, even if you give the scavenger birds a tactical nuclear bomb, they will never dare to violate it."

"That's it!"

Lu Wenwu slapped his thigh excitedly and grinned, revealing a row of big white teeth.

"Do you know any big customers who are just a bit rich and can afford a few hundred tubes of nutritional cream?"

"Help me get a mission, any mission, preferably one that involves hiring someone to kill someone or massacring a certain force or gang. After the mission is confirmed, you must sign a contract, and you must ask the company to notarize it, and they will pay for the notarization fee."

"You can negotiate with them about the mission compensation. The base price is no credit points, just two meals. These two meals will be all you can eat with Maomao's nutritional cream. But the first meal must be paid in advance before the mission officially begins."

"It would be best if we can get credit points as compensation, but if not, just two meals will be fine. We won't lose out."

Having said that, Lu Wenwu showed a kind smile.

Liu Linan was stunned for three full seconds.

Then, he slapped the metal prosthesis he had removed and screamed, "Blood hell! Damn it! Lu Wenwu, you are such a genius!"
