The Highest Bounty

Chapter 175: a kitten

Views:

Ford Street is the most famous snack street on Kaiwangxing.

It is not accurate to say that it is a snack street. Because almost everything is sold here, including all kinds of fruits, vegetables and other unprocessed foods. And the snack street here is a bit different from other snack streets that Gu Ding has been to.

Usually, the snack street is a messy place, just like the red light district, only a little less bloody and a little more greasy than the red light district.

But this snack street gives people a completely different feeling. It is spotlessly clean, including all the oily fumes being sucked away by underground pipes.

"It's a bit different from what I imagined." Liliat also expressed Guding's feelings, "But this difference is developing in a good direction."

"That looks delicious..." Elsa's eyes were attracted by a stall not far away.

"That seems to be a scallop." Looking at the scallop meat that was grilled so shiny and shiny, Gu Ding also felt a little hungry.

"That's screaming shellfish, a kind of food that needs special treatment." Bigger recognized the ingredient at a glance, "It is said that screaming shellfish are very timid, as long as there is a little sound within one meter around them, they will Immediately they startle, let out a miserable scream, and close their shells, and it takes at least three days for them to open."

"It can also be baked directly with the shell closed. Is there any difference?" Gu Ding asked a little puzzled.

"Don't look at how small the shell of this creature is. Some chefs have done experiments. This shell can withstand a high temperature of 880,000 degrees. After exceeding 880,000 degrees, the shell will explode violently. The person who did this experiment The famous chef is a tenth-order gene body, and he died of this kind of explosion." Bigger's story sounds a bit bizarre.

"Can't you pry it open with brute force?" Elsa felt that with her own strength, it shouldn't be a big problem to break this kind of shell.

"Below the demigod level, no one can forcibly pry open this kind of shell. There are also videos on the Skynet to confirm that many people have tried it." Big shook his head and explained.

"I don't believe it!" Elsa couldn't believe that there were such shells in this world. She walked towards the shop owner, "Boss, can you lend me an unopened shell? I want to try and see if I can break it." open."

The store owner was a middle-aged man with a ruddy complexion. He didn't seem surprised. Obviously Elsa was not the first customer to make such a request. Moreover, this kind of performance usually brings a lot of business to his booth, so he happily took a shriek shell with a closed shell and handed it to Elsa.

Elsa grabbed the gap between the shells with her fingernails, and exerted all her strength, trying to tear the shell open in one fell swoop, but found that the shell was not moving at all. She was suddenly a little angry. She gritted her teeth and added the force of the vibration. The terrifying force poured into the shell again, but it disappeared quickly like a mud cow entering the sea. The shell was still as tenacious as a stone without gaps. .

Liliat couldn't stand it any longer. She took out her silver pistol and turned it into a sniper. She filled it with two armor-piercing bullets. "I don't believe it. It can't be pried open with brute force, and it can't be broken with armor-piercing bullets!"

"It's useless." Bigger dissuaded, "This method has already been tried."

Liliat didn't listen to the advice, and accurately bombarded the screaming shell twice in a row. The shell was thrown out, but Elsa jumped up to catch it. She looked down at the screaming shell in her hand, and shook her head at Liliat with some regret.

This screaming shellfish is as strong as an indestructible bunker.

The behavior of the two women has also attracted the attention of many people. Most of the old residents maintain an attitude of watching the show. Obviously, this is not the first time they have seen this kind of thing.

"Let me take a look!" Robert reached out and took the screaming shell. He tapped it left and right, then took out a drill, cutter and other tools and tried it, but nothing worked, but his eyes It was obviously bright, and ran to the shop owner's booth and asked, "Boss, can you sell these useless shells to me?"

"If you need it, I'll give it to you. Anyway, we also throw it out as garbage. And this thing is very difficult to dispose of as garbage. It needs to be soaked in extremely strong acidic substances for several days before it will gradually soften." The shop owner He readily agreed, and the cost of their daily waste disposal is not low.

Returning the shells in his hand to the shop owner, Robert poured all the empty shells from the other party's trash can into his storage space.

"In this case, how should this kind of food be eaten?" Gu Ding raised his own question.

"The reaction time of the screaming shell is 0.001 seconds, and it takes 0.001 seconds to close the shell, so during this 0.002 seconds, the chef must quietly pick out the meat of the screaming shell with a hook." Bigger explained .

"Looks like I met an expert." The middle-aged store owner said with a smile, "Is this gentleman interested in giving it a try?"

"I've never made screaming shellfish before, I just heard about this ingredient." Bigger was also a little nervous, he was really not sure.

"Try it, it's not something to be ashamed of." Gu Ding patted Bigger.

Encouraged, Big nodded and took the hook from the store owner.

His eyes fell on an open shell in front of him, and he swung his right hand instantly, and then pulled the hook, and the pink mass was pulled out, so fast that the screaming shell had no time to react.

"Good skill!" The store owner took the lead in applauding, and there were other people who wanted to test it out, and the business in the store immediately improved.

"Boss, give us four servings and pack them!" Gu Ding felt that it was not good to disturb others for a long time, and the screaming shellfish on the grill looked really delicious. Except for Robert, he bought a copy for his group.

After eating scream shellfish, Gu Ding and his party felt endless aftertaste.

"I'll buy some screaming shellfish ingredients to go back later, so I don't have to worry about not being able to eat them when I leave this planet." Bigger has made up his mind to learn how to make screaming shellfish.

The five continued to walk towards the depths of Ford Street.

"That fish looks so cute, like a full-fledged fat man, he can't even swim." Elsa pointed to a fish tank not far away.

"The one with the silver scales over there wagging its tail quickly but swims very slowly. It's called a poisonous dolphin." Bigger explained, "This kind of fish is also made of specially processed materials, and it tastes very delicious, but when it is processed, it cannot be touched. to its guts. Otherwise, the whole fish will turn purple and be inedible."

"Why can't I eat it when it turns purple?" Elsa thinks that food should not be wasted.

"Because turning purple means that it contains a lot of toxins. It is said that if a strong person below the demigod level eats it, he will die within ten hours." Bigger's words made Elsa immediately look away from the fish. Moved away.

Not far away, Elsa's eyes were suddenly attracted by a piece of meat.

"That piece of meat is from a steel sharp-toothed beast, a ninth-order genetic beast. The muscles on this genetic beast are as hard as diamond alloy, and its defense is extremely strong. Only those who have cultivated to a strength of tenth-order and above have a strong genetic body , can be killed. Their meat also needs to be heated at a high temperature of more than 50,000 degrees before it will soften slowly, otherwise it will be no different from chewing diamond alloy..." Before Bigger's voice fell completely, he saw A yellow shadow flashed, and the piece of meat had disappeared.

Elsa had an instant reaction. She stretched out her hand to grab it, but found that the other party suddenly accelerated and caught nothing.

At this time, Bigge also made a move, but instead of reaching out to grab it, he drew his knife directly to intercept it. The long knife with its sheath swung out, blocking the yellow shadow from going.

At this time, Huang Ying's movements finally stopped, and Gu Ding and his party realized that it was a kitten who stole the meat. The cat looked a bit thin and thin, with tiger stripes all over its body, but it was very energetic. Its eyes fell on Bigger for a while, then sat on the spot, and slowly gnawed on the piece that was as hard as diamond alloy. The meat comes.

Seeing this scene, Guding and his party were also a little speechless.

"It looks like it's really hungry." Gu Ding looked at this thin little guy, and felt sympathy in his heart. After all, he was bullied because of his thinness since he was a child. And this cat, if it wasn't extremely hungry, probably wouldn't dare to steal food from people.

"This thief cat!" The store owner quickly caught up, "I will kill you!"

"Boss, let me buy that piece of meat." Gu Ding felt that the kitten was a bit pitiful, and if caught by the shop owner, the result would be miserable.

This scene was watched by the little guy.

Guding paid some money, sent the shop owner away, took a bag of potato chips from the storage space, and walked towards the little guy. He heard that many cats like this kind of snack.

The little guy glanced up at Gu Ding, didn't seem to care about the other's approach, and continued to gnaw on the piece of meat. In just a dozen seconds, a quarter of that piece of meat was eaten.

Gu Ding felt that the little guy's teeth were not generally good. He walked to the little guy with a smile, opened the bag of potato chips, picked up a piece, and handed it to its mouth. The little guy glanced at Gu Ding lazily, and chose to ignore the other party's behavior.

Gu Ding stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the little guy, but the moment he was about to touch the fur, his eyes blurred, and it disappeared.

"What a speed!" Elsa couldn't help exclaiming.

"The response speed of this cat is already close to the eleventh-order gene body." Bigge also nodded, "And it can bite the meat of the steel sharp-toothed beast, many of the iron-toothed beast's twelfth-order gene body Predators are not willing to hunt and kill this kind of meat without cooking, even if it can be bitten, it is difficult to eat, and it is even more difficult to digest."

"No matter how powerful it is, it's just a poor little guy, otherwise I wouldn't steal food." Gu Ding shook his head. "Let's go back, it's getting dark, I've been shopping since noon, and I'm a bit full now."

Watching Guding and his party leave, the kitten poked its head out from a corner, stuffed all the remaining meat into its mouth, and trotted all the way, following behind Guding and his party.
