Prodigal System in the Flourishing City-Chapter 1436 - 1378: Appetite

Lu Xiaobu’s Forced Calmness was activated.

After using it on Lu Hongbin, it was obvious that Lu Hongbin paused for a moment and then returned to normal.

But after Lu Xiaobu used it on himself, he found that when he looked at the horned lion, an introduction appeared beside it.

Originally, Forced Calmness didn’t have this feature.

It seems this is the upgraded function!

But!

The content of this introduction makes you feel a slight discomfort.

Of course, it also makes you feel a strong appetite!

Why appetite?! 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Simple!

The introduction describes how to cook this lion!

"Take half a pound of meat from the back of the neck, half a pound from the front leg, and three rib pieces, slice them thinly and roll them up. Then take one Sky Mountain Snow Lotus, one lotus root, and several red dates, mix them and boil into soup. Use the soup to season the meat, and you have a fresh and delicious dish that is an exceptional low-grade delicacy!"

This...

Looking at this introduction, Lu Xiaobu thought that if he weren’t in a state of Forced Calmness, he might have cursed a bit.

Has Forced Calmness turned into a culinary exploration eye?!

This is the first, no, the second mythical creature after the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, and it’s already ready for the dining table?

It’s always said that our nation never fears invasive species; the only question is how many protection levels do you want it to reach before eating it.

But damn, I didn’t expect even such mutated creatures can be eaten!

Also, this is only a low-grade delicacy, does that mean there are mid-grade delicacies? High-grade delicacies?

Sigh, Lu Xiaobu held his forehead with a sense of helplessness.

Then.

"Elder Yu, can you get me a Sky Mountain Snow Lotus?" Lu Xiaobu looked at Elder Yu.

The Sky Mountain Snow Lotus is listed as a level 2 protected plant and also a level 3 national endangered species, strictly prohibited from being picked.

So, he’ll have to ask Elder Yu for help.

"That won’t be a problem." Elder Yu nodded, but then he asked curiously, "Why do you need the Snow Lotus?!"

Shouldn’t we be discussing the appearance of such creatures, whether our fifteen people truly have superpowers, and what we should do next?!

Why suddenly a request for a Snow Lotus out of nowhere?!

"You’ll find out later." Lu Xiaobu didn’t explain.

I can’t just say I want to eat that lion; that would frighten Elder Yu and the others!

So, I’ll just tell them after it’s prepared.

"Alright, hold on, I’ll arrange it." Elder Yu went out to make a call.

"Xiaobu, do you think my dream caused all this, or did all this cause me to dream?" Lu Hongbin calmed down and analyzed the situation.

"The latter is more likely." Lu Xiaobu replied, "I don’t think a dream could have such a big impact, though I wouldn’t completely rule it out."

"Um." Lu Hongbin nodded and continued to be silent, deep in thought.

"What about me?" Mr. Wang raised his head to ask, "Did I gain invincible defense?"

Lu Xiaobu reached out and slapped Mr. Wang.

"Ah!" Mr. Wang yelped in pain, "Do you know what respecting the elderly means?!"

"Clearly not invincible defense." Lu Xiaobu said calmly.

Then he activated the Water attribute.

He condensed a Water Arrow and shot it at Mr. Wang.

"What are you trying to do?!" Mr. Wang jumped in fright.

However, out of trust for Lu Xiaobu, he didn’t dodge.

Then, Lu Xiaobu saw the moment the Water Arrow hit Mr. Wang’s body.

In an instant, the Water attribute energy vanished.

Without the Water attribute energy, the Water Arrow turned into a stream of water, soaking Mr. Wang’s clothes.

Unscathed.

"Energy immunity?" Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow, vaguely guessing Mr. Wang’s ability.

"No, no, it’s not immunity." Lu Xiaobu observed closely and immediately found something amiss.

Mr. Wang wasn’t immune to energy; rather, like a superconductor, he instantly conducted the energy into the air, into the ground.

"Energy superconduction? It’s almost like energy immunity." Lu Xiaobu mused thoughtfully.

In his Forced Calmness state, his mind was indeed much clearer.

He accurately analyzed everything.

But then he thought of another problem: "If you conduct energy, doesn’t that mean you can’t cultivate?"

Cultivation involves storing energy, and now energy can’t stay in his body at all, so how would he cultivate?!

"Can’t cultivate? Can’t cultivate, so be it! I’m already at this age, not hoping to become a Martial Artist anyway." Mr. Wang had a very peaceful mindset.

"That won’t do!" Elder Yu suddenly walked in, "With such a good meat shield, how can we let you stay at home?!"

Today lions can mutate, so tomorrow tigers can also mutate.

Who will withstand such energy attacks if not Mr. Wang?!

"Right!"

Lu Xiaobu nodded in agreement.

"Meat shield?!" Mr. Wang’s hair stood on end when he heard the term: "I’m too old, and you two, who together aren’t even as old as me, want me to be a meat shield?!"

Come on!

The thought of that scene is unimaginable!

Physically frail, standing at the front, bearing all the attacks?!

Give me a break!

However, no one seemed to care about his words.

"We could try to focus on pure physical Strength." Lu Xiaobu suggested.

"Yes, I’ll arrange a trainer for him, starting with adaptation. One hundred push-ups, one hundred squats, one hundred frog jumps, and a 5K run with weights every day." Elder Yu wholeheartedly agreed.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! My heart’s acting up! Oh! Oh!" Mr. Wang immediately collapsed and pretended to be dead!

Are you kidding me?!

I’m practically already buried up to my eyebrows in Huang Tu, and now you want me doing one hundred push-ups, one hundred squats, one hundred frog jumps, plus a 5K run with weights every day?!

You might as well just kill me!

At my age, shouldn’t I just be doing Tai Chi?!

"You see, that’s poor physical fitness. I suggest adding another hundred sit-ups." Lu Xiaobu earnestly said.

"Right, I have no objections." Elder Yu nodded.

"I object!" Mr. Wang erupted angrily.

You two shameless guys!

Do you have to make my life difficult?!

"Elder Wang, with great power comes great responsibility!" Elder Yu patted Mr. Wang’s shoulder and said.

"Yes! Exactly!" Mr. Wang gritted his teeth and said, "With great power comes great responsibility; at least it’s better than some people having no power at all!"

Clearly, he was pointing fingers.

Elder Yu clenched his fist, ready to give him a punch!

This old rascal is getting more and more outrageous!

"Have the twelve warriors arrived? Let me see." Lu Xiaobu spoke out, "Checking their conditions should clarify some things!"

"Yes, they’re all at the door." Elder Yu said with a hint of excitement.
