Chapter 51: Bonfire Party and King Carp
[Although the Carp King has been lost, life has to go on for Master Mo after a tiring day. He makes a fire, boils water, and puts in ingredients to form a pot of delicious food. This pot of soup is enough to relieve Master Mo's bitterness of the day. 】
[The person in front of you, are you acting like a charlatan?]
[After all, this is Magikarp. If it were Bobo from before, Mo Bao would have become red-eyed right now and wouldn’t have the energy to cook. 】
[Ding! The food anchor you follow is online! 】
Facing the audience's barrage, Chen Mo stood beside the cassette stove and said nothing.
There are thousands of Magikarp in this world, and there is always one that behaves differently from other Magikarp. This is not incomprehensible.
Thinking back to the scenes he had seen in Hongye Lake before, where the carp king quietly watched other similar animals leaping into the water toward the moon, Chen Mo understood.
It doesn't care about evolution in the first place, so why bother trying to jump over the dragon gate?
The reason why I became interested in the evolution of Bobo into a Pidgeot was just out of curiosity and had no other ideas.
What he said just stepped into a trap.
Afterwards, Chen Mo, who had reacted, wanted to talk to the Carp King again, but even with the power of the waveguide, he could not find its figure in the lake. Others, at a glance, were full of wisdom.
I have seen quite a few of the Carp King's kin.
However, there was a feeling in the dark that Chen Mo felt that he and the Carp King would have a chance to meet again.
Before that, Chen Mo decided to find something to do for himself.
Since there are too many cones sent by Bibi Bird, and I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well try the nutritional recipe prepared for Pichu.
Speaking of which, this nutrition recipe that cost a thousand science points in the system mall is extremely practical.
It not only includes all the ingredients and production processes required for recipes from low-level to high-level, but it is also applicable to a wide range of applications. It can not only be eaten by Pichu, but can also be used by the Pidgeot family.
It's true that you can make money by buying it.
Moreover, the requirements for its ingredients are extremely low. The ordinary quality ones only require a certain amount of yellow cones and sweetness, while the most advanced ones only add an additional ingredient called Yaojin fruit.
The production process is quite simple. You can basically try it with a pot. It is not as demanding as energy cubes. At this stage, it is simply the most suitable way for Chen Mo to cultivate elves.
"...Add another spoonful of sweetness and cover the pot."
Chen Mo looked at the iron pot from which the aroma wafted out from time to time, controlling the heat and waiting patiently.
As a single man who has lived alone for a long time, Chen Mo has developed fairly good cooking skills since his previous life. At least he can't stop him at this simple cooking.
"…Skin…"
Pichu, who was still sleeping on the moon chair next to him, suddenly moved the tip of his nose slightly, and his eyes were still squinting, but his whole body had already sat up following the scent.
However.
There are also elves who are faster than Pichu.
Suddenly, a clear and high-pitched cry was heard from the horizon, and then the strong wind fell, and a huge black shadow fell next to Chen Mo.
This movement almost caused Chen Mo to overturn the pot.
"Beep?"
The visitor is none other than Bibi Bird.
At this time, it was tilting its head slightly, staring at the iron pot that emitted a special fragrance, and then looked at Chen Mo, as if asking what was contained here.
At the same time, Pichu climbed onto Chen Mo's shoulders skillfully in a few steps and looked curiously at the iron pot in front of him.
It was better to come by chance than to arrive at a good time. It happened to be at the same time, and the two future service recipients were also in place. Chen Mo simply took out two small bowls and filled a bowl for each of Pichu and Bibi Bird.
"Try it and see how it tastes."
However.
Chen Mo didn't need to remind him, the two elves had already started to move, and the golden soup mixed with sweetness and yellow autumn fruit slowly flowed into the mouths of Pichu and Bibi Bird.
Just by looking at their extremely comfortable expressions, Chen Mo knew that this pot was a success.
[Grandma once said that if you want to capture an elf's heart, you must first capture its stomach. Mo Bao finally figured it out this time.】
[What you say sounds weird, but it’s true.]
[It’s rare to see Bibi birds showing such happy expressions. Mo Bao, can you tell us what this pot of soup tastes like? 】
[This is so late at night, it makes me hungry, Mo Bao, what do you think I should do?]
Ignoring the noisy barrage, Chen Mo actually tasted the taste of this bowl of soup while making it. After all, just like the energy cubes eaten by elves, humans can also eat them, and the same is true for this bowl of nutritious soup.
As for the taste.
The sweet taste is mixed into it, it is naturally sweet, and if you drink it, because the refreshing juice of the yellow cone is mixed in, you will not feel tired, and you will only have the urge to have another bowl.
"Why don't you just rely on this bowl of soup tonight?"
Since the ingredients were sufficient, the portion prepared by Chen Mo was completely enough for him and the two elves.
Just when Chen Mo was planning to just make do with it tonight, crisp sounds suddenly sounded from the sky one after another.
This familiar voice made Chen Mo's expression change.
He looked back at Bibi Bird.
"Wait a minute, you brought your fellow tribesmen with you?"
Bibiniao, who was drinking the soup, was suddenly filled with questions.
Didn't you ask me to bring it?
soon.
One by one, Bobo and Bibi landed on the shore of this red-leaf lake. The first thing that caught their attention was naturally not the King Carp jumping silly in the lake from time to time, but the pot of thick soup with a strange fragrance.
"..."
Chen Mo fell silent.
The audience in the live broadcast room burst out laughing when they saw this.
[Bobo Clan: Thank you in advance for the boss’s master. He is really a good person.]
[Bibiniao: Didn’t you ask me to bring everyone here to share the meal? 】
[Hahahahahaha, I’m laughing so hard, Mo Bao, you can’t favor one over the other. After all, you’re still Bibiniao’s mother-in-law, so hurry up and do it. 】
[Mo Bao, you are destined to have such a calamity (manual funny).]
It’s already here, what else can we do?
Chen Mo looked at the Bobo clan, big and small, all looking at him, and sighed helplessly in his heart.
Just do it.
After a few hours, Chen Mo, who was working hard, was mentally depressed.
Perhaps because this nutritious soup is attractive enough, while Chen Mo was making it, many other wild elves also ran out, most of which were encountered in this forest, such as trumpet buds, unicorns, etc.
Insects, sting wasps, etc.
But as long as the elf came here without any malicious intent, Chen Mo would give him a piece of soup, which is why Chen Mo became like this.
but…
Sitting on the moon chair, holding his chin, looking at the elves enjoying the food and showing happy faces beside the campfire, Chen Mo also had a smile on his lips.
suddenly.
Feeling that something was watching him, Chen Mo subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction of the feeling. This time, without using the power of the waveguide, Chen Mo had already spotted the Carp King swimming by the lake.
It still looked solitary, looking at the different elves happily gathering around the campfire.
"Good evening, Magikarp."
Chen Mo, who walked to the shore, smiled and greeted Carp King.
However.
King Carp did not respond, but turned around and looked at the soft moonlight on the horizon, no longer looking at the dazzling bonfire.
"Did you know? In our human society, everyone has his own way of life. Some like to stay at home and don't like to be active in front of others. Some are naturally cheerful and have a lot of friends. Some are just because of various reasons.
With all kinds of things, you have to choose a life you don't like."
Chen Mo sat on the shore, looking at the moon with Carp King, and said softly.
"As for me, I respect everyone's choice and the way of life he chooses either due to form or from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, I want to apologize to you, Carp King."
As he said that, Chen Mo looked back at the Carp King in the lake. It was still silent, as if it had entered a sleep state, but Chen Mo could feel that it was still listening.
"I imposed my own thoughts on you without realizing your feelings, so I'm sorry."
hard to imagine.
A human would actually apologize to an elf, a Magikarp.
This is something Magikarp himself never thought of.
It finally turned around and looked at the young man with a gentle expression under the moonlight.
If it is correct, this strange human being must have been very tired just now. Why does he suddenly seem to be a different person now...
It stared at this strange human being, as if trying to see through this human being's heart.
But facing the Carp King, Chen Mo did not hide it and slowly expressed all his thoughts.
"Carp King, I like you very much, and Pichu also likes you as a friend, so I have been thinking about whether there is a chance for you to go back to live with us."
"It doesn't matter if you don't need to evolve. It's not Gyarados that Pichu and I like. Even if we encounter any difficulties in the future, Pichu, Pichu, and Pidgeot will do their best to protect you."
