Chapter 743 “The Depriver” (Thanks to Mr. O of the Aurora Society for rewarding the Silver Alliance again)
"'Glutton'?" Lumian said in a very approving tone, "Quite vivid."
Ludwig ignored his hidden sarcasm and started to give a brief introduction:
"In this sequence, hunger truly becomes a part of our body, allowing us to evolve a lot around it."
"What are the evolutions?" Lumian was worried that Ludwig would only have one sentence for "Glutton" like describing the "Tramp" sequence, so he took the initiative to ask.
Ludwig paused for several seconds to swallow the food in his mouth.
Then, he stuffed a small piece of lemon cake into his mouth and answered vaguely:
“Internal organs that are more conducive to digesting food and absorbing energy, stronger and more powerful teeth, biting force and food intake that exceed normal limits...
"This can help us obtain different powers from food more efficiently without worrying about being affected by toxins, viruses and bacteria contained in food."
"In other words, even if they are highly poisonous, as long as you treat them as food and eat them with your mouth, you will not be poisoned and die?" Lumian suddenly felt that Ludwig was very suitable to be an "assistant" to the "pharmacists"
”.
Ludwig took a sip of milk and shook his head:
"It cannot exceed a certain limit. Many 'gluttons' die because of eating indiscriminately."
Didn't you eat randomly? Lumian sneered in his heart.
At the same time, he secretly sighed:
This guy is quite honest, he does act like a child most of the time, and he even forgot to protest that I added more questions.
Ludwig put down the glass bottle of milk and picked up a box of cookies.
In a crackling voice, he continued:
“The corresponding sequence 7 is ‘Gourmet’.
"At this level, we will have stronger digestion and eating abilities, and we can distinguish which ingredients can be eaten, which ingredients cannot be eaten, which ingredients can bring special changes, and which ingredients need to be paired with others."
Lumian thought carefully and said:
"Extracting corresponding information from the food eaten is one of the abilities of a 'foodie'?"
This ability helped Lumian a lot.
"Yeah." Ludwig, who was wearing a yellow thick cotton nightcap, nodded obediently.
He did not elaborate on the corresponding abilities.
"Although 'Gourmet' is very useful, I feel that in this sequence, you still lack sufficient combat capabilities. Well, maybe 'Tramp' will give you some street fighting capabilities." Lumian made an evaluation from his own perspective.
Ludwig did not defend himself, nor did he bother to defend himself. This was not as important as the delicious food in his mouth and the delicious food that followed.
He peeled off a round candy and put it in his mouth, his expression showing some enjoyment:
"Further up, it's what you call Sequence 6, called 'Chef'."
"I thought it was the bartender." Lumian joked.
Ludwig thought carefully and said:
"The scope of 'chef' is wider, and it's not just about making cocktails."
Lumian nodded thoughtfully:
"The ability of a 'chef' is to use special ingredients to create dishes, pastries, drinks and cocktails with magical effects?"
This is an ability that Ludwig has demonstrated many times.
Ludwig unconsciously showed a proud expression:
"Yes, each 'chef' has different specific characteristics and abilities because of the ingredients he has obtained and the food he has made.
"What all 'chefs' have in common is their excellent ability to handle ingredients, including how to find weak points and cutting, chopping, cutting and other techniques."
At this sequence, the "Gourmet" path can be considered to have real combat ability... But "Chef" is similar to "Contracted Person", the actual combat power depends on its own combination, the upper limit is very high, and the lower limit is also very low...
…Lumian, who thought of the “contracted person”, curiously asked:
"Is there a limit to the number of permanent effects a 'chef' can obtain through different magical foods?"
As for the negative effects, Lumian, who has eaten "ice lemon fish fillet", knows it very well:
Depending on the ingredients and finished products, magical dishes or concoctions will bring different negative effects, but overall they are significantly weaker than those of "the recipient of the contract".
"No." Ludwig shook his head quickly, "As long as you completely accept hunger and greed, there will be no upper limit on quantity."
This, the upper limit is a bit scary... But it also means that there is no limit to the number of negative impacts. Even if each type is far less than what the "contracted person" brings, when added up, it will change from quantitative to qualitative.
... Lumian thought for a while, looked at Ludwig who had basically finished the meal and said:
"When we first met, that is when I saw you eating a mouse, were you a 'glutton' or a 'gourmet'?"
Ludwig made no secret:
"'foodie'."
Indeed, he has been commenting on the dishes I invited him to eat... Lumian thought for a moment and said:
"Did you return to the level of 'chef' during the time of Bartins Black Worm?"
Ludwig said "hmm":
"Originally, it was only a little bit close. Just eating a Batins black worm was enough."
"What's the next sequence?" Lumian brought the topic back on track.
Ludwig carefully dug into his memory:
"It's the 'Depriver'."
"'The Dispossessor'?" Lumian immediately thought of the "Deprivation Bullets" obtained from Jebus.
Is this traded from the Evil God Sect of the "Gourmet" path?
Ludwig thought Lumian was asking him to explain the ability of the "Depriver", and recalled:
"The 'Depriver' can deprive the target of one to three abilities within a certain period of time. If he subsequently eats part of the target's flesh and blood, he can permanently gain one of the abilities, and the target will lose it permanently unless he drinks magic again.
Medicine, or kill me, no, the corresponding 'depriver'.
"When we get to the 'Deprived', our diet will become more extensive. Many things that we couldn't eat before can now be eaten. We can now eat things that we couldn't eat before."
"Give me an example?" Lumian wasn't sure whether the association he made was consistent with what Ludwig really wanted to express.
Ludwig looked at him and gave two examples:
"There is a certain degree of pollution, as well as energy bodies such as fireballs and lightning."
I can eat some more dangerous things, and I can also eat some things that should not be food... Lumian thought of an enemy he met in the "hotel", and also thought of what Ludwig just mentioned.
To confirm something, ask:
"The ability to process ingredients also includes these ingredients?"
"Yes." Ludwig was very honest.
Lumian took out the matte "deprivation bullet" from the "traveler's bag" and placed it on the dining table in front of him:
“Is this from ‘The Taker’?”
Ludwig's eyes suddenly lit up:
"yes."
He said eagerly:
"Can I take it as a prize? I don't want that extraordinary characteristic!"
"I think the Beyonder characteristics are more precious than it is." Lumian said deliberately.
Ludwig looked sad and said rather reluctantly:
"But I can only choose one.
"Now I can't really eat Beyonder properties, I can only use it to make some food."
That's it... Lumian looked at Ludwig, organized his words and said:
"How much more do you have to eat to get back to being a 'depriver'?"
"The further you go, the more difficult it becomes. You can't just rely on quantity to accumulate. You also need more suitable and high-energy food." Ludwig pointed to the "deprivation bullet" and said, "I have to eat at least two hundred of these bullets."
Only then can he return to being a 'depriver'."
Lumian laughed and asked like a devil in a whisper:
"How about just eating the 'Depriver' who made this bullet?"
"You can recover immediately!" Ludwig's eyes became extremely bright.
Lumian smiled even brighter and said:
"You don't seem to have a strong ability to proactively attack. I can help you obtain such items and capture the corresponding Beyonders, but you need to listen to me, accept my command, and cultivate enough skills before I become a demigod.
tacit understanding.
"This is my promise, do you want to complete this deal?"
Ludwig hesitated for a while before reluctantly nodding:
"make a deal."
Huh, calm down... This is just the beginning of "taming", not the end. There is still a long process in between... Lumian suppressed his smile and asked curiously:
"Who did you follow in the first place?
"You don't need to tell me your honorific name, just find a noun to refer to her, just like 'Great Mother'."
Ludwig was stunned for a moment.
His expression changed a few times, and suddenly he shed tears, and howled like a child:
"I, I don't remember!
"I forgot, I forgot everything!"
Hearing his cries, Lugano put on his thick coat and walked out of the guest room.
The "doctor" saw Lumian at a glance, and asked in confusion and confusion:
"Why is he crying?"
Is this still the terrifying ogre from "Dream Festival"?
Lumian smiled:
"I showed him the delicious food but didn't let him eat it."
"Okay..." Lugano looked back and forth between the two of them doubtfully, and rationally chose to retreat to his room.
Because of his brief appearance, Lumian remembered an item and had some dangerous thoughts.
He took out the remains of Omi Bella's umbilical cord from the "traveler's bag" and "consulted" Ludwig, who gradually stopped sobbing:
“What dishes and cocktails can it be used in?”
The remains of the umbilical cord left by the Son of God of the "Great Mother" were originally thought to be only used as materials for casting spells or auxiliary materials for making spell potions, magical items, and extraordinary weapons. But now, Lumian feels that "gourmets" may have a different view.
Ludwig looked at the remains of Omi Bella's umbilical cord, licked his lips and said:
"Can make three kinds of food with different magical effects.
"The effect of a food is to completely cure infertility."
"That's not necessary." Lumian asked funnyly, "What are the effects of the other two foods?"
Ludwig said very professionally:
"A type that allows you to gain stronger self-healing ability, but it's not as good as a 'vampire'.
"There is another kind of..."
