209: Chapter 190: Gourmet 209: Chapter 190: Gourmet Professionals, after all, are always greedy. They race against time, limited resources, and compete with their peers even in life and death… This existential anxiety exists at every level of professionals. From Meow, Lu Ping’an learned that the “Gourmet” path is also a part of the Life system, with its core concepts being “Predation” and “Biological Chain”, a manifestation of the natural instinct of an animal to hunt down the weaker. To them, every prey is irresistible, which is why even though they have nothing to do with Beast Tamers, they still ran over like wild dogs that smelled the scent. “An Otherworldly Quasi-rule-level creature? And a precious Dragon and Beast Species?” One of the things Lu Ping’an asked Meow to do was to inform Tie Zhenmei through the Special Service Team’s channels that there was a high-quality Otherworldly prey here. And in order to make him act quickly, he also asked Meow to add a sentence. “… The Blood Feast people have also received the news, and they’re already on their way.” To make the beasts bite blindly and quickly, all you need to do is give them a little internal competition. As for the Blood Feast people, Lu Ping’an did the same. It is worth mentioning that it wasn’t hard to find the wanted Blood Feast criminals at all, as they had their informants blatantly collecting materials in the steam factory. Lu Ping’an informed both sides, and he has exhausted his mind to come up with the biggest odds under limited conditions. Lu Ping’an would never admit that he informed the Blood Feast people, and even talking to them or trading with them is a big pot, but that doesn’t stop him from trying to use them. “Let it be fate, competition and ‘gourmet’ should make them come at the fastest speed, hopefully, just one of them will be enough…” Unfortunately, Lu Ping’an’s experience was still lacking, and he underestimated the lower limits of some people. Perhaps, if it weren’t for Guan Xinxian or Lu Ping’an still having some official veneer, Tie Zhenmei would have relied on the information from the official channels all along, maybe he would have watched the two men die. “Boom!” Tie Zhenmei and the giant beast collided, he who had eaten enough “candy” had his muscles developed unbelievably. And in the next moment, the middle-aged man from Blood Feast also launched an attack on the Three-Headed Lizard Dragon without hesitation. Both men had arrived early, and they had been patiently waiting for the other to make the first move… because the one who made the first move had a high chance of becoming the other’s prey. The two men in the shadows restrained each other, unwilling to be the scapegoat, and eventually came to an unspoken agreement – to hunt down the dragon first before fighting each other for the spoils. Don’t get it wrong, they weren’t trying to save Lu Ping’an, but just the peering and locked gaze was enough to let Lu Ping’an know that in their eyes, he was bait, a lure to prevent the Lizard Dragon from escaping. For them, an Otherworldly precious Lizard Dragon that had stepped on the Rule-level (Divine beings), but was still suppressed by the world and banished to land, was simply an irresistible temptation. Seeing the three “bosses” fighting together, Lu Ping’an took a deep breath. He wasn’t frustrated, nor did he resent his “lifesaving benefactors”, he just wanted to be clear about their lower limits so as not to miscalculate again. They came so quickly that it was obvious they hadn’t been busy before, and looking at the situation in the Ancient City now, the fact that they, as the strongest class, weren’t busy at all was a bit problematic. In this world, it is normal for people to be motivated by interests, thinking too well of them was a mistake in itself, these “private church” scumbags weren’t comrades of the Special Service Team, so he had to be more careful in the future… “Boom!” Tie Zhenmei’s small body burst forth with a terrifying physical force, showing off his incredible physical strength and superb hunting skills. The huge blade as long as three people, slashing horizontally and vertically, taking out chunks of flesh and blood from the giant beast with each hit. And the next moment, the peeled-off flesh was directly sucked into the snake skin bag he carried, which was filled with chunks of flesh the size of a house, but showed no signs of swelling. This boss stood right in the middle of the line between Lu Ping’an and the Lizard Dragon, soaking up the brunt of the giant beast’s attack. That crazy and perfect body revealed itself in front of Lu Ping’an, with super speed, super healing, and super strength, like a real-life Superman. But Lu Ping’an could still feel that this boss was locking on to him at any moment… that instinct to dare to die as long as he dared to move was a blatant threat. At this moment, Lu Ping’an understood why the people from the special agents spoke of the high-level church members in such negative terms. As for the Blood Feast’s boss, he showcased another school of thought for the Gourmet or Chef’s Path. He dined on the spot. His figure was fast, floating like a ghost, producing giant blood hooks wherever his hands and feet touched. Massive amounts of light green dragon blood seeped out, forming blood cells and blood clumps that were joyfully inhaled by him. Despite the massive loss of blood, the Lizard Dragon seemed to feel nothing, only roaring at Tie Zhenmei’s attack. From time to time, he landed on one of the dragon’s wounds, directly turned into a blood clot and drilled in… and when he drilled out from somewhere else, the dragon let out a sky-shaking roar. And the contented man, just wiped his mouth with a napkin, smiled satisfactorily, and searched for the next target. The two opposing “gourmets”, one with a strong front to attract vitality and the other sneaking from behind to focus on offense, looked like intimate comrades who had fought together for countless years despite being sworn enemies. Their strength was so impressive that even Lu Ping’an was a little tempted. Is this what logistics is about? They’re even better at fighting than the battle tiers. “Chris, does this have potential? Can I do this part-time?” Since he was tempted, it was natural to ask. “No, there’s a conflict between magic potions and chefs or gourmet lovers. Besides, high-level magic alchemists are no less valuable than these two professions.” Big Meow’s words disappointed Lu Ping’an a little, but the gradually tilting battlefield situation in their favor made him nod in satisfaction. The two sixth-tier masters, who specialize in “hunting beasts,” showed overwhelming power when they joined forces to hunt down an Otherworldly Lizard Dragon stranded in shallow water…especially because the Lizard Dragon was clearly in a deranged state, having lost all reason. “Boom!” Finally, when half of the giant creature’s six limbs were severed and turned into bloody water, while the other half got bagged into a snake-skin pouch, the battlefield entered the endgame stage, or perhaps the beginning of another battle… “Special Service Team?” Old Tie turned his head for the first time, smiling affably and kindly. At that moment, Lu Ping’an also smiled. “Yes, I’m from Special Service Team Three. I was the one who sent you the notification. Thank you for your timely support. I will report this to my superiors.” Thus, the “young man” across from him smiled even more kindly. “Stay back, the upcoming battlefield is not suitable for you.” Lu Ping’an nodded. This was an alternative way of saying “you can leave now.” Then, he quickly left with Guan Xinxian, who still looked hesitant. “Boom!” Before they could get far, the powerful shockwave from the earth-shaking battle behind them reached them. Large swaths of villas were completely turned into rubble, and the confrontation between the two parties had directly destroyed this neighborhood. Both of them were blown away, but after landing, Guan Xinxian still hesitated, even gritting his teeth and preparing to turn back. “Don’t go. That’s suicide. Even if you’re not ‘accidentally killed’, they might deliberately silence you.” At that moment, Lu Ping’an did not hesitate to make the most malicious assumptions about them. Lu Ping’an held onto Guan Xinxian, knowing what he was worried about. He wouldn’t be at ease until he saw the bastard dead. “Heh, not to mention whether being ‘eaten’ constitutes cruel torture, can it even resist the curse? In the end, won’t it just rush over like a wild beast to die? Be patient. Our troubles are far from over.” Lu Ping’an pointed ahead, where a group of low-level Fishmen and sea monsters were crawling towards them. Earlier, their compatriots had died in the aftermath of the high-level battle, but now that the two of them had left, these creatures naturally followed. Guan Xinxian nodded. At this moment, he indeed needed some outlet for his anger… “Thanks. If you need anything in the future, just say the word.” The man’s words fell, and he unhesitatingly charged towards the already dry and smelly fish monsters. On the other hand, Guan Xinxian’s concerns were not unfounded. Jia Yi, a “human” with a terrifyingly strong will to live, still did not sit idly by when faced with the dire situation. His sporadically vanishing rationality finally calmed down, and he found a way to survive. He recited the filthiest prayers, gathered the most dangerous curses, and tried to summon the power of the Evil Gods with the head of his main body… The next moment, half of his fish head was sliced apart by a blood blade. However, the largest piece, half of the fish head, achieved its true goal. “…Spatial…drift…” At that moment, as a master of space, the targeted coordinate drift was successfully triggered. His half of a fish head floated to a nearby “safe house”, a wooden cabin by the lake. But before it could even rejoice, let alone find a new path to survival, Lu Ping’an’s “thought” came true. “Slaughter…kill…my Lord…” The curse struck once more, and the wrath of the deity turned into its will. The mad fish head screamed in pain on the ground. Then, whether it succeeded in crawling up and charging towards Lu Ping’an or simply died, nothing was different from before… That is if someone hadn’t been waiting in that cabin all along! He walked out of the shadows, as if everything was normal. He just slowly walked over, picked up the fish head, and swallowed it in one gulp! The next moment, gray-black pollution spread over the two of them. Amidst the twisted mutation and shrieks, a fish head appeared at the back of the man’s head, while the strange two-headed figure’s front side looked just like a kind young man. “Sophist…why… ” Yes, a Sophist, a competitor who should have been the most disadvantaged in the Mother Goddess cult. At this moment, his pupils turned red as the curse started to transfer over to him. Jia Yi’s murmurs and craziness were suddenly stopped. The man merely stroked the fish face with his right hand, and it slowly closed its eyes, falling into a deep slumber. The curse that was originally being drawn over stopped naturally. But behind his head, beside the fish head, there were two other strange little faces.
