287: Chapter 267: Solid Strength. 287: Chapter 267: Solid Strength. What is raw power? Stronger physical conditions, higher tiers, more professional part-time jobs, better equipment, and more… money. Before the collapse of the social order, the latter is the most important because, to a certain extent, it can buy the former conditions. Watching Lu Ping’an continuously take things out of his not-so-large bag, the two captain-level members felt a bit numb. “This ‘delicacy’ is above fourth-tier, right? It seems to be of flame attribute?” “What is this thing? It looks pretty evil, but the pollution level… Decree-level?” “Is this really the kind of equipment and consumables a regular Special Service Team can have?” What made the two captains even more numb was that Xia Qin was eating these expensive items like candy, carelessly. Um, maybe it really was candy. The “Hundred Flavors Rainbow Candy Jar” was in Xia Qin’s hand. She had only eaten two pieces and was already starting to feel full. At most, she could eat one or two more before reaching her limit. Xia Qin wisely stopped eating. The effects of a gourmet’s delicacies usually don’t last long, so she paced herself. But evidently, her luck was good. A pale red strawberry-flavored candy made her excited and energetic, with her whole body in excellent condition. A golden stone-flavored candy gave her a layer of golden metal coating, making her look like a sparkling golden person. Having seen this, Lu Ping’an adjusted the other “delicacies.” “Nameless Dragon Rib” instantly elevated Xia Qin’s muscle strength, making her bulkier, forcing her to take some time to adjust her clothes. “Volcano-flavored Spicy Pizza” made Xia Qin flushed red all over, while also providing her with strong flame resistance. “…What is this?” “Spoils of war. No need to waste it; it’ll be wasted if it expires.” This was the reward from that battle. The demise of the two sixth-tier foodies left Lu Ping’an with a large amount of finished delicacies. Delicacies’ effects in the short term can even surpass those of magic potions, but their duration and shelf life are incomparable. The cost of these items is quite high, and since they are essentially in “activated state” during wartime… The “delicacies” created by the chef’s path originally had a shelf life and were usually made to order. A foodie’s “Delicious Activation” ability can enhance the special effects and taste of food, making it even fresher and more delicious, while further shortening its shelf life. Under normal circumstances, most foods have a shelf life of one day to half a year. Activating “deliciousness” for battle in advance leaves them with only a few hours to a month of shelf life. Honestly, even a six-month shelf life is not enough. These consumables need to be sold at a high price to people who genuinely need them; otherwise, their ingredients are worth more. “Use it up; it’s a waste if you don’t.” The first to be consumed was the half-eaten candy jar. Xia Qin did just that, first eating random buff from the Hundred Flavors Candy, then using special dishes to supplement the needed effects. Ordinary people can also enjoy gourmet food, but the effects are much lower, and their carrying capacity is limited. So, Xia Qin just took up the profession of a foodie. This profession is elementary to start, but it requires high physical hardware standards. Having experienced so much, she naturally knows the importance of strength. As a Sword Saint unable to use most types of equipment, a foodie that enhances physical strength and provides multiple support effects is already well-suited for part-time job matching. The profession’s basic ability is to enhance the effects of “delicacies,” and the process of promotion and ascension is tasting food… With the legacy of two big shots, the physically powerful Little Swordsman quickly advanced to a first-tier foodie. Why didn’t she focus on this profession before? It’s not just because she was broke, it was mainly… “Just level it up as much as possible. The dishes Xia Qin makes… cats and dogs don’t even eat them.” In fact, even the cats didn’t want to eat them. Over these days, Lu Ping’an had tasted her incredibly mediocre and perfunctory cooking skills. The various fast-food methods that didn’t kill you were just enough to give one some enlightenment. If her cooking skills were this bad, then advancing along the “Chef’s Path” would be extremely difficult. Would it be better to have someone dedicate themselves to provide her food? Many foods have a very short shelf life, so it’s often only necessary to make them when needed. “Another… fourth-tier or higher delicacy?” This time, Xia Qin’s eyes shimmered with a pale blue light; her restless heart and body instantly cooled down, and her body temperature also dropped sharply. Not only were the two captain-level officers feeling numb, even Miss Lululu, who was holding the magic potion, was stunned. She was holding a “High Temperature Resistance” magic potion, which she initially intended to provide to her team members at cost price. Seeing the other side eating high-level delicacies like candy, she wondered if there was any need for her to come. Xia Qin’s crazy eating wasn’t the end – it was just the beginning… “These boots can enhance your basic attributes and provide constant Feathering Transformation, which can increase your movement speed, which should be what you need the most right now.” Lu Ping’an directly lent her his Heavenly Boots! Sword Saints indeed couldn’t wear armor, but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t wear shoes! Xia Qin successfully put on the boots without triggering any covenant, which relieved her. In fact, there was a “covenant not to wear shoes” for Sword Saints, but ordinary races probably wouldn’t choose this covenant. “Meow. This has acceleration ability, can be used for collision, and has a passive life-draining ability…” Meow contributed its cloak… Well, not wearing armor doesn’t mean you can’t wear a cloak or cape. With a silver tier item, the observers were already numb. What is raw power? This is raw power, creating a powerful monster by sheer force. With the help of delicacies, Xia Qin’s physical attributes must have been stacked to Silver-tier or higher, further perfected by the Heavenly Boots, creating a peak-attribute physical beast. A series of “Yang Patterns” draped over her body, not wearing armor doesn’t mean she couldn’t become a heavily armored tank with super defense. Compared to traditional heavy tanks, full attributes provide her with enough reaction nerves and mental resistance. Food that targets physical strength, skin defense, and fire pits further supplement her weaknesses. “Boom!” When she accidentally used too much force and crushed the rocky ground with one foot, the outcome was already predetermined. At least for this period, until the stocked delicacies are eaten or expire, the raw power of Special Service Team Three is enough. A longsword (just repaired) and a shortsword, each with Silver Decree-level power. Add in the boots, skin, hidden weapons (ball), she alone had a total of five Silver Decree-level pieces of equipment! The most annoying thing about the maze terrain is not that it’s hard to find a way, but that the narrowness forces both sides to face each other directly, making numerical superiority meaningless and mobility inferior to a big blockhead… In a sense, this is also why minotaurs (big muscle monsters) in the maze become extremely difficult. But this time, the cursed maze terrain met its nemesis. “Boom.” Raw power directly smashed it to pieces.
