Chapter 40 Eating hot pot and singing
At noon, Wayne finished his lunch and went into the woods to the east of the villa to meditate and practice.
This forest is the private domain of the Landau family. A walking trail has been built. It is very quiet and there are no outsiders to disturb it.
You have to go far away. The elements near the big house are grabbing and running away. Except for the fire element, the other three elements don't dare to get close.
They couldn't come over, so Wayne had no choice but to chase after them.
run?
Hehe, no matter where you go, you can't escape from my grasp!
Two days ago, Butler Fula changed the weekly recipes, made a detailed ingredient list, and asked Master Wayne about his dietary preferences.
Fula is a very good butler. He observed Wayne's daily eating habits and found that Wayne was not keen on afternoon tea and had a sparing attitude towards table manners.
In terms of food, Wayne has no favorite food. Except for hating potatoes, he basically treats other dishes equally. It doesn’t matter whether it tastes good or not, whether it’s expensive or not, as long as it fills your stomach.
And it has to be quick, easy to eat, and can’t delay your studies.
Not being picky is the biggest picky thing. As a housekeeper, Fula felt that his career was facing challenges. He collected information on all the ingredients that could be purchased in the market in the Kingdom of Windsor and stayed up late to make a form, just to know what the young master likes to eat. What.
Unable to resist the hospitality, Wayne looked at the form and realized that it didn't really matter to him as long as he was full. When he discovered rice, he decided to make it his staple food in the future.
It’s outrageous that rice can be grown on the God’s Chosen Continent.
Wayne has always regarded the God's Chosen Continent as a magically modified Europe. Do Europeans grow rice?
He hasn’t researched it, but it feels like it doesn’t exist.
No matter what, Wayne got the staple food he wanted and felt more energetic when cooking. He asked the housekeeper to order a wok, and after three months, he ate tomato scrambled eggs and shredded potatoes.
The relegated potato once again became Wayne's favorite.
Due to the difference in ingredients, mainly condiments, the two stir-fry dishes did not suit Wayne's taste, but seeing each other again after a long separation always makes people subconsciously ignore the flaws. The butler was so excellent and meticulous in every aspect. He brought a great surprise to Wayne. He was so good that he couldn't find any faults.
This is called professionalism!
Wayne was satisfied, but the butler was not. He wanted to do better, so he handed over a form the next day and brought Wayne peppers, onions, ginger, garlic, fennel and other spices.
For a moment, Wayne couldn't help but look forward to the future. Soon he would be able to eat hot pot.
Eating hot pot and singing songs, it feels beautiful to think about it, and I feel that life is full of hope.
Wayne is extremely satisfied with Fra, that is, he has no money, otherwise he would definitely hire Fra as his butler.
When customizing the iron pot, Wayne drew a simple drawing and asked the butler to order three sets of fist spikes with hardened surface steel and blunt spikes to increase the lethality in close combat.
The punch is small in size, easy to hide and easy to use. The design of the hand guard can not only increase the damage, but also protect the fist.
If the shape is more exquisite, it can be called a portable art collection. Even if the police catch you, they will not be able to sue you. It is a must-have artifact for self-defense when traveling at home.
In comparison, the crowbar is too long.
Wesley and Hood have been away for four or five days. Wayne was busy practicing and gradually forgot about the two of them. He recently figured out a good way to capture the light spots of elements without meditating.
Switch your vision, merge with the Book of Greed, and capture the elemental light spots wandering in nature through your tentacles.
Advantages: The Book of Greed is insatiable, and Wayne fuses it with it. The efficiency of capturing elemental light spots is more than ten times higher. Even if Wayne is kneeling, he can only get 30% of it, but he still makes a lot of money.
It cannot be called capture, it is more accurate to describe it as purchasing goods.
Now Wayne can meditate efficiently for two hours a day, and up to three hours when taking medication. All three hours are used to improve his thinking and magic power, which greatly ensures the efficiency of his practice. Disadvantages: The Book of Greed is too greedy. It plunders regardless of gender, old or young. The main theme is that anyone who comes is not rejected. The fire element that Wayne avoids is swallowed up by the Book of Greed.
The first time, Wayne was almost frightened to the point of cardiac arrest. Remembering Heaphy's warning, he was afraid that his strong desire would overwhelm his reason and turn him into a social garbage with all five evils including greed, lust, and laziness.
It turned out not to be the case. Thousands of fire elements were purchased, but even his life essence was not filled.
Looking at the three elements of earth, water, and wind that showed no movement on the progress bar, Wayne once suspected that he was a genius. There was no need to doubt that facts spoke louder than words. He was indeed a genius.
Wayne didn't know why. On the one hand, he recognized Teacher Yujie's ability, and the district high priest's sophisticated vision would not make a mistake; on the other hand, he was unwilling to be labeled as a mediocre person. There was a golden finger in time, so he should not be a waste in any case.
Contradictory between left and right, he habitually blames the Book of Greed.
Is there a possibility that he really has no talent and his life essence is no different from ordinary people? The Book of Greed has raised his upper limit and made him unable to measure by common sense, which led to Teacher Yu Jie making a wrong judgment. ?
The possibility is great!
He has big eyes and tentacles, so there is no common sense. Ordinary people can't take his turn.
Wayne seemed to be a drowned fish and successfully landed. The camel that was almost crushed to death shook off the straw and rolled it up with great energy. It was as if he had returned to his college days. He stayed up all night and was still full of energy the next day.
In three months, he was going to impress Heaphy.
He didn't want to prove how great he was, he was just waiting for this opportunity to gain some air and tell everyone that he must get back what he lost.
I, Wayne, am no weaker than anyone else!
But first...
He still has to roll it up. His poor affinity to elements is his biggest shortcoming. This is an undisputed fact, and it seriously interferes with his efficiency in accumulating life essence.
Wayne gradually relaxed the restrictions on the Book of Greed, allowing the latter to purchase goods as he pleased. The Book of Greed was satisfied, and he also gained some satisfaction from being satisfied.
In the four corners of the cover, the last golden-red eyeball slowly opened.
Although it was still gray, earth, fire, water, and wind formed the basic framework, which was both energy and matter. After meeting the most basic conditions, the Book of Greed officially came to life.
Wayne has more tentacles and can plunder elemental light spots faster!
The gray eyeballs were no longer lifeless, but gradually gained a bit of vitality. The small eyeballs that could not respond to Wayne were now looking at each other with their basic frames taking shape.
The largest eyeball in the center of the cover is Wayne himself. The rest have different attributes, some represent moonlight, some represent death, and many more are chaotic and unnamed for the time being.
The eyeballs representing moonlight point to the magic seeds that Chris left in Wayne's body. The Book of Greed plundered some information buried deep in it, and the amount is negligible;
The eyeballs representing death point to death. The small town of Kafunuo where the traveler sacrificed is large in quantity and is currently the brightest eyeball except for the big eyeball;
The rest come from the Gate of Truth and are classified by the Book of Greed, with more and less. , can mostly be ignored.
Wayne has not yet found the correct way to open these eyeballs, or it may be that the prerequisites are not in place and he cannot open them now. He was thoughtful, grabbing small clues to speculate, and gradually figured out something.
“It’s so cool to cheat!”
Wayne made up his mind and no longer rejected the fire element.
He is not in the common sense, and the method of measuring normal magicians does not work for him. What he has to do is to plunder more of the four elements, first to satisfy the needs of the Book of Greed, and then to satisfy the needs of his own life essence.
"There are still too few elements around. Isn't there a holy place for practice where I can eat all I want?" Wayne frowned.
"Master Wayne, I have your phone number."
Butler Fula walked through the tree-lined path and came behind Wayne.
"who?"
"Mr. Hood."
"..."
So, who is Hood?
