Chapter 11 The lowest grade of spirit rice, restoring full soul power in one bite?!
Meanwhile, on the other side of Shrek Academy's playground, the atmosphere was so oppressive it felt like water could be squeezed out of it.
Tang San had just woken up from a coma after spitting blood. He was leaning against a tree trunk, his face pale, still clutching the pitiful Blue Silver Grass spirit in his hand, his eyes vacant.
As for Dai Mubai, he was still lying on the ground. Although the oppressive aura of that speck of dust had been withdrawn, the psychological trauma it left on him was too great, and he couldn't get up for a while.
"Hey mistress, have a sausage to help you recover."
At the crucial moment, Oscar, with his captivating eyes, approached with a look of concern. As his soul power surged in his hands, he uttered that lewd yet incredibly effective incantation:
"I have a big sausage!"
Soon, a flash of light appeared, and a fragrant, revitalizing sausage appeared in his hand.
"This is the sausage with the highest soul power concentration I have since my breakthrough, and its recovery effect has been enhanced again."
Oscar, usually a jovial figure, became unusually serious upon seeing his brothers in such a miserable state.
"No matter how powerful that world is, I am still confident in the area of food supplements."
"My martial soul is innate full soul power, and it is also the top food-type martial soul in the entire continent."
"Therefore, we have absolutely no need to feel inferior!"
Upon hearing Oscar's words, a glimmer of light returned to the eyes of the previously despairing crowd.
Yes, although their combat power is inferior, their support abilities, especially food-related ones, are a unique feature of Douluo Continent!
People in that world are so strong, they must only care about fighting and don't know how to eat well or nutritiously.
As the saying goes, each has its own merits, and this is where the mysterious world falls short of Douluo Continent, for which they should be proud.
However, just as Tang San took the sausage from Oscar and was about to take a bite, the live broadcast screen, which had calmed down, suddenly showed a new image again.
...
The Primordial Celestial Court, Miscellaneous Service Peak.
Zhu Zhuqing had just finished pouring out the water to wash the sword and was preparing to go back to her room to rest.
"Gurgle."
But the next second, her stomach immediately let out a loud growl.
Although the Qi and Blood Fruit had previously boosted her soul power, the energy of that fruit was too pure, and it was also digested very quickly.
Coupled with the immense physical exertion from washing the sword, the hunger of a mortal body instantly struck.
Are you hungry?
Just then, the older maid in charge of teaching happened to pass by. After glancing at Zhu Zhuqing, she casually tossed her a dusty little cloth bag.
"Now that you've become a candidate, you're eligible to get meals from the cafeteria."
"However, the main kitchen is closed today. This is spare rations prepared for the handymen disciples. Just make do with this for now."
"Remember, eat it sparingly, this bag is enough for you for a month."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing dared not be negligent. Although she did not know what was in the bag, she quickly took the bag and respectfully thanked him.
Spare rations?
We need to be more careful with our food?
However, upon seeing this scene, the viewers of Douluo Continent immediately perked up.
"Haha, I knew it! That world may be powerful, but the standard of living is definitely not good!"
On the playground, Ma Hongjun, the Evil Phoenix, looked at the dusty bag and suddenly regained a sense of superiority, and began to mock:
"Look at that dirty cloth bag, it must contain something like chaff and pickled vegetables."
"We menial laborers are lucky if we can get enough to eat, unlike us who have meat and fish every meal!"
Upon hearing this, Oscar, standing to the side, took a smug bite of his sausage and mumbled indistinctly with his mouth open:
"That's right. When it comes to food, we have to look to Douluo. Not only can it fill our stomachs, but it can also help us recover our health."
"It's just a pity that Zhuqing is suffering over there. I really want to send her a sausage to help her recover."
However, the next second, when Zhu Zhuqing opened the dusty little cloth bag and poured out the dry rations, the laughter of the Douluo group, who had been gloating, stopped abruptly.
Clang!
A crisp thud was heard, and something rolled out of the bag.
Those weren't some coarse food, but rather grains of rice that were crystal clear, as if they were carved from diamonds, and emitted a faint glow!
Although they are rice grains, each grain is about the size of a fist!
Inside the rice grain, it seemed as if a small cloud of mist was sealed, with faint glimmers of light visible flowing within!
Not only that, but an indescribably rich fragrance instantly pierced through the sky, making the air throughout the entire Douluo Continent seem sweeter!
"This...this is rice?!"
On the Shrek Academy playground, the chicken leg in Ma Hongjun's hand fell to the ground with a thud.
His eyes widened as he stared at the giant grain of rice, which resembled a jewel, and his mouth watered uncontrollably—it was a primal, instinctive desire!
"This is spirit crystal rice."
From the sky, the old woman's voice drifted faintly:
"This is the lowest grade of spiritual grain grown in the spiritual fields on the outskirts of the Celestial Court. It ripens once a year and is formed by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, sun and moon."
"Although the taste is so-so and rather rough, it is filling and contains a trace amount of spiritual energy that can slightly improve your mortal constitution."
"You're too weak right now. You can only eat one-tenth of this pill per meal, or your blood vessels will burst."
One-tenth?
A single grain of rice?!
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the heavy grains of rice in her hand, which looked like works of art, and tentatively leaned over to take a small bite.
"Snap!"
A crisp sound rang out, and it melted in your mouth!
The moment that tiny grain of rice entered my mouth, it transformed into a warm current that flowed down my throat and throughout my body!
boom!
In an instant, Zhu Zhuqing's face, which had been pale from hunger, turned incredibly rosy!
She felt as if she had swallowed not rice, but a flame of life, and even the physical strength that had been used up was completely replenished in that instant!
She could even feel that her skin had become smoother as a result, and some of the hidden injuries inside her body were healing rapidly!
[Zhu Zhuqing, consume low-grade spirit crystal rice (one bite)!]
[Status: Extremely full, full of energy!]
[Effect: Constitution +10, Soul Power recovery speed increased by 500%!]
As the data popped up on the screen, the entire Douluo Continent, including Shrek Academy, fell into a deathly silence.
Oscar held the super-healing sausage he had been so proud of just moments before, looking as if his soul had been ripped out.
He looked at the wrinkled, greasy sausage in his hand.
Looking at the crystal-clear rations on the screen, which could revive someone with a single bite and even improve their physique, an unprecedented sense of inferiority instantly welled up in my heart.
