An off-road vehicle rushed to Meilin Ecological Zone.
Perhaps in a few months, there will be several newly discovered ingredients among the ranked edible ingredients known to mankind.
But until then, the "gears" around the world are turning as usual.
then--
Time passes, day and night change.
One day.
There is a news that is reported all over the world.
The news is described as follows:
The discoverer was a woman who got lost in the forest.
There were 128 villagers in the place where the Kuluta people lived, and all of them were killed.
From the scene of the murder, it was found that various family members were placed facing each other.
Their bodies were stabbed with sharp weapons, and their heads were cut off while the victims were still alive.
The eyeballs of all the pure Kuluta tribesmen were gouged out, although the eyeballs of those from other villages, such as those who married into the village, were left behind.
However, the number of wounds on the bodies of people from outside the village was obviously more than that of the Kuluta people.
It can be inferred from this that the perpetrators first attacked people from other villages to anger the Kuluta tribe, and then killed and beheaded them one by one when their eyes turned red due to pain and anger.
There are also many scars on the child's body, which can be described as horrific.
Judging from this, the perpetrator was trying to anger the children's parents so that their flaming eyes would become more vivid.
It is said that the color of the flaming red eyes caused by anger is the most conspicuous bright red, and can be sold for a very high price in the underground black market.
Therefore, the motive of the perpetrator can be initially judged.
Relevant department personnel who went to the scene of the murder to investigate the situation found a message believed to be left by the perpetrator near the murdered body:
"We won't reject anything, so don't take even a penny from us."
This news was reported all over the world at an extremely fast speed.
The black traders in the underground black market who specialize in "organ buying and selling" and the buyers who are keen on collecting all kinds of abnormal organs are all as excited as if they had been given a shot of blood.
In itself, the flaming eyes of the Kuluta tribe can already be sold for high prices on the black market.
Now with the destruction of the Kuluta clan, the flaming red eyes will become a rare and out-of-print commodity in a certain sense.
So as long as you can get even a pair of eyeballs now, it will definitely be a profitable business.
People who have an urgent need for flaming eyes are extremely looking forward to seeing flaming eyes appear on the black market.
Because judging from the content of this news, there is no doubt that the perpetrator went for the red eye.
Now that a considerable amount of flaming eyes have been obtained, in order to convert them into money, the perpetrators will inevitably sell the flaming eyes on the black market.
The middlemen who want to use channels to get the first step, or the wealthy people who want to collect a pair of red eyes, are all waiting for this moment.
A prosperous city somewhere.
Apartment top floor.
Eredin, wearing burgundy pajamas, was looking at a photo.
The photo shows a pair of fiery red eyes placed in a transparent glass cover. Under the backlight, red stars seem to be flowing in the eyeballs, revealing a thrilling beauty.
Eredin looked at the fiery red eyes in the photo with interest.
She also paid attention to the recent news about the genocide of the Kuluta tribe.
But to her, the destruction of an ethnic minority has nothing to do with her.
What she was concerned about was when and in what form the many fiery red eyes that had been snatched away by the perpetrators would appear in her field of vision.
Because she wants to buy a pair of flaming eyes for collection.
As for money...
As a big star, what she needs most right now is money.
"Ding dong..."
The doorbell rang from the other side of the door.
Eredin put down the photo and turned on the small display screen on the side.
The screen showed the situation outside the door. There was a young man wearing a black suit with handsome features standing outside the door.
And this man is her bodyguard Harvey.
After seeing that the person ringing the doorbell was Harvey, Eredin raised her finger and tapped a button next to the screen, and the door opened.
Harvey walked straight into the hallway, closed the door behind his back, and then walked towards the living room.
After a while.
He came to Eredin.
Eredin crossed her legs, not caring at all that the vast expanse of white snow was exposed to the air, exuding a mature and seductive aura all over her body.
Faced with such a heart-stirring scenery, Harvey lowered his head slightly and said without changing his expression: "Boss, regarding the itinerary of being invited to participate in the 'Museum Exchange Meeting', the new bodyguard candidates entrusted have been initially determined."
"Are you a professional hunter from the Hunter Association?"
Eredin picked up the cigarette case on the table next to her and popped out a long slender cigarette.
Harvey said softly: "Yes, the initially determined candidate is a professional bodyguard hunter named Kang Zai. He is also a member of the Twelve Earthly Branches of the Hunter Association. His business ability and strength are guaranteed."
"Twelve Earthly Branches..."
Eredin's eyes lit up and he nodded: "That's good. There have been a lot of 'harassment incidents' recently. If it's the Twelve Earthly Branches, I shouldn't be disappointed."
"Yes."
Harvey echoed.
Eredin then held the cigarette between her fingers, and Harvey immediately stepped forward, took out a flip lighter, and helped Eredin light the cigarette.
"Museum Exchange Meeting... The title sounds nice, but in fact it's just about finding the enemy in advance. Even if you can't find the enemy, you can still use the so-called 'exchange' to warm up the auction items in advance and raise the prices."
Eredin took a puff of cigarette, lowered her eyes, and said calmly: "I heard that the 'organizer' this time is a member of the Hex family?"
"Yes."
Harvey took a step back and lowered his head in response.
Eredin's delicate face was hidden behind the smoke, and she said with a little regret: "I did look at the product list, but it's a pity that there are no flaming eyes."
Harvey still lowered his head and interrupted at the right time: "It is said that the main auction item this time is a crown called 'The End of the Monka Expedition'."
"But that crown is not on the 'early auction' list."
Eredin shook out the ashes from her cigarette.
I had already looked through the list of items at the museum exchange meeting in advance, and I saw the crown called "The Key Point of the Mengka Expeditionary Force".
However, this crown is obviously the item that the Hex family plans to keep for the finale of the Youxin auction in September.
Even if the gangsters attending the museum exchange meeting wanted to spend a lot of money to grab this crown in advance, I am afraid that the organizer of the Hex family would not agree.
but--
Eredin has to admit it.
The crown that once symbolized the pinnacle of power indeed had an intoxicating appeal.
"Eridin Nakko is still a big star."
Inside a spaceship, Kang Zai was reading his employer's message carefully with his head down.
Although his main occupation is treasure hunter...
But in order to have the possibility of hitting three stars in the future, he chose the profession of "bodyguard hunter".
Therefore, regardless of the difference between main business and side business, he must take every job seriously.
This is why he clearly resists reading-related things, but he still has to carefully remember the employer's information and the various matters that need to be remembered for this commission.
It was just his enthusiasm for taking his work seriously that shocked Fiona.
Yes.
Fiona, who is also a bodyguard hunter, is also on this spaceship.
However, her client is not the big star Eredin, but Coco Hex, who always uses various commissions as reasons to ask her to take on bodyguard work.
Now seeing Kang Zai reading a bunch of information, Fiona couldn't help but look shocked.
"What's that look in your eyes??? Am I weird like this!!?"
Kang Zai suddenly raised his head and glared at Fiona fiercely.
Fiona nodded and said seriously: "It's very strange, even beyond my knowledge of you."
"Hey, don't look like a dog looking down on others!"
Kang Zai said with an unhappy look.
Fiona corrected: "It's just dogs looking down on people."
"..."
Kang Zai resisted the urge to throw the information in his hand at Fiona's face.
Women are such difficult creatures.
Speaking of which, the employer this time is a female celebrity. Isn’t she the type that is overbearing and unreasonable?
Kang Zai suddenly felt that this commission was very difficult to handle.
But one thing to say is that this commission is not that big in terms of difficulty.
After all, the event called "Museum Exchange Meeting" has always been equipped with a very high level of security, and the name "Ten Old Men" is enough to dissuade most desperadoes.
So if something unexpected happens to an event of this scale...
Unless he's being targeted by a group of Class A criminals.
Anyway, Kang Zai felt that the probability of something happening was very low, and the reward was ten times what it would normally be.
"Hey, who is your employer?"
Kang Zai looked at Fiona and asked suddenly.
Fiona frowned slightly and sighed: "You are also a bodyguard hunter, so do you think I will answer your question?"
"My words will be answered, for I regard you as one of my own."
Kang Jae tries to impress Fiona with his sincerity.
Fiona glanced at him and said calmly: "A person named 'Hey'?"
"..."
Kang Zai's face twitched.
Merrill Lynch Ecological Area.
Next to a lake in the forest.
"Remove the hard skin, and the fish meat will be exposed as white as gelatin."
Menqi is handling a freshwater fish with crocodile-like skin.
Moyu and Xiaodi looked on.
The two of them watched Menqi peel off the hard skin of this freshwater fish with skillful skills while explaining the advantages of this ingredient.
"The fish meat is so white, it looks like it could be eaten raw."
Xiao Di stared at the fish flesh that was as white as gelatin.
The appearance alone can trigger a desire to eat and drink.
"It can be eaten raw, but it needs to be supplemented with fermented wine."
Menqi raised his head and glanced at Xiaodi, then placed the processed fish meat on the cattail leaves next to it, and said: "Rather than eating it raw with fermented rice, it will be more delicious if it is fried on a stone plate and then poured with the juice of Xiangzhu fruit.
"
“Pan-fried!”
A light appeared in Xiaodi's eyes, and he immediately volunteered: "I'll go find the slate right now."
With that said, she headed towards the nearby stream.
Menqi looked at Xiaodi's retreating back and curled her lips: "Don't think that this will make me 'recognize' you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Men Qi noticed a strange look from his master, and suddenly felt like his insincere words had been revealed.
In order to quickly divert her master's attention, Men Qi sighed: "She can eat better than Kang Zai."
"really."
Moyu also looked at Xiaodi's back and smiled: "But the one who eats the most is me."
"Master is different."
Menqi stood up and said seriously.
Moyu looked at her and asked with a smile: "What's the difference?"
"..."
Menqi paused.
"It's just different anyway."
"Ha ha."
Moyu laughed heartily.
During her stay in the Meilin Ecological Zone, Menqi tried her best to discover a total of three new ingredients over a period of one month and thirteen days.
One of the ingredients was evaluated as Grade B, and as a discoverer, Menqi naturally made a strong mark on her blank resume, which also announced that she had taken a crucial step on the road of food hunter.
first step.
And ever since Menqi discovered B-grade ingredients, various invitations have been sent to her through the Hunter Association, which annoys her greatly.
But for Menqi, this kind of thing is actually beneficial and not harmful.
That would allow her to get the one-star title as quickly as possible.
It took quite a while.
Xiaodi returned empty-handed.
Moyou and Menqi looked at Xiaodi with empty hands. They were not surprised at all, or they were used to it.
Even Menqi would inevitably react with a little disgust.
"Bug-eyed fish."
Arriving in front of the two of them, Xiaodi raised her hand and materialized a bulging-eyed fish.
"Chirp!"
The materialized bulging-eyed fish opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and screamed at Xiaodi.
Xiaodi then ordered: "Spit out all the stones."
"Chirp!"
When the protruding-eyed fish heard this, in front of Moyou and Menqi, it spat out stones one after another on the ground next to it.
Most of these stones are flat, and they are obviously specially selected to meet Menqi's cooking needs.
soon--
There were dozens of stone slabs piled on the ground.
However, the big-eye fish has no intention of stopping yet.
"How many slates have you collected?!"
Menqi's disgusted eyes were gradually replaced by shock.
Although she didn't say how many slates she needed, but according to normal people's thinking, one or two slates are usually enough.
Xiao Di held the vacuum cleaner tube and explained with a normal expression: "I didn't count them on purpose. It's just that I wasn't sure which slate would best meet your needs, so I brought them all."
"..."
Menqi was immediately speechless.
Moyu was already used to this daily routine, so he smiled and walked aside to light a fire.
He knew that after Menqi selected the slate, he would definitely go to the lake to wash the slate at least ten times.
Before that, he had enough time to gather dry wood for the fire.
"Jiji!"
When Moyu saw Moyu trying to light a fire, he immediately ran over to help with excitement.
Looking for "something" is his favorite thing.
After a while.
A warm, bright flame rose from the ground.
Menqi placed the selected and washed stone slabs ten times on the fire and prepared to cook the fish meat of the scale turtle obtained from the lake.
Moyou and Xiaodipan sat aside, eagerly waiting.
“I feel like I won’t be full.”
Xiao Di glanced at the dozens of pieces of fish meat spread on the cattail leaves.
Moyu pinched his chin and nodded in agreement: "Indeed."
Based on how much he and Xiaodi eat, even though each scale fish weighs at least two kilograms, it's still not enough.
"Otherwise I'll go..."
"Buzz."
Moyu wanted to go to the forest to catch some game, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by his cell phone that suddenly vibrated.
