You Want My Secret Recipe, I Want Your Body!

You Want My Secret Recipe, I Want Your Body!

Faced with Oscar's lewd incantation.

Zhuge Lan not only showed no disgust, but nodded thoughtfully instead.

"Food made by most food-type Soul Masters has pretty good effects. What can your sausage do?"

Oscar's face lit up with delight!

Finally, someone didn't find him disgusting!

"Junior, you know your stuff!"

"My Recovery Sausage provides all-around recovery!"

"It promotes wound healing, restores stamina and Soul Power, relieves fatigue and pain, and even makes you feel fuller!"

"It's absolutely top-tier among food-type abilities!"

Zhuge Lan looked enlightened.

"So you're also a Shrek student, right?"

"You'll be teaming up with us for this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament?"

"If that's the case, we'll have to eat these sausages sooner or later."

With that said.

Zhuge Lan calmly devoured the entire sausage.

The taste was perfect.

Compared with starch sausages made from chicken bone paste and preserved mustard greens with pork made from awful meat.

A single lewd incantation was no big deal at all.

Nearby.

Li Yusong, the teacher, grinned so broadly that his whole face wrinkled.

What teacher wouldn't like a student who was both talented and clever?

Zhu Zhuqing silently picked up a sausage as well, taking small but quick bites until she finished it.

Then, together with Zhuge Lan, she looked toward Dai Mubai and the other four.

"You're not eating?" Zhuge Lan tilted his head. "It's bound to happen sooner or later. Better than being forced to eat it when the time comes."

"Dai Shao, you should be the oldest student here, right? Aren't you going to set an example?"

"Don't call me Dai Shao anymore!" Dai Mubai said with a wry smile. "Call me Boss Dai, or Mubai."

Then he picked up a sausage and swallowed it in one bite.

He had eaten plenty of these before anyway.

Now the pressure fell on Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong.

The three of them glared at Zhuge Lan. So you're the smart one, huh?

But still.

If they didn't eat now, wouldn't that make them seem unsociable?

Tang San moved first, taking a sausage and swallowing it whole.

Xiao Wu followed his example, closing her eyes and swallowing one too.

Then they all turned to look at Ning Rongrong.

You're the only one left. What now?

Ning Rongrong, who had always presented herself as a well-behaved girl, furrowed her brows deeply.

She took half a step back and firmly shook her head.

There was no way she would eat it!

If she hadn't yet enrolled, she would have flipped out on the spot!

Seeing this, no one forced her.

But faintly.

They all kept a certain distance from Ning Rongrong.

—That was the price of not fitting in.

Ning Rongrong, that clever little devil, immediately noticed the detail.

The way she looked at Zhuge Lan became just like the way Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai—disgusted to the extreme.

The flood of Emotional Value made Zhuge Lan feel great.

He turned and left.

Leaving Oscar standing there, wanting to say something but hesitating.

—Hey, the sausages cost five Copper Soul Coins each!

But.

Zhuge Lan had already elevated it to "team camaraderie." If Oscar asked for money now, wouldn't he seem unsociable?

What a dilemma!

Emotional Value +666

Zhuge Lan happily followed Dai Mubai to the second test.

Without stopping, Dai Mubai headed straight for the next test.

Li Yusong also said, "You don't need to take the second and third tests. Come with me directly to the final test."

As soon as he finished speaking.

The string of Emotional Value exclusive to nameless extras made Zhuge Lan laugh.

You little shrimp weren't even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.

So he merely stood to the side with his arms crossed and watched the show.

Dai Mubai stepped forward to explain that as long as one's Soul Power exceeded Rank 25, they could skip straight to the fourth test.

Tang San and the others took turns stepping up, using the Soul Power crystal to test their ranks.

Blinding those nameless extras' dog eyes.

Finally, Zhu Zhuqing handed the Soul Power crystal to Zhuge Lan.

Zhuge Lan waved it away.

He directly summoned Thorn Armor, three purple thousand-year Soul Rings that plunged the scene into silence!

Zhuge Lan glanced over the details.

The highest-grade 999 Emotional Value had come from Ning Rongrong, whom he had just met.

Next was Zhu Zhuqing's 666 Emotional Value.

Old acquaintances like Dai Mubai only gave a few hundred Emotional Value.

As for the nameless extras?

Negligible.

The same thing only creates the strongest emotional reaction the first time.

I can't keep living off past gains.

I'll have to come up with more tricks in the future.

More than ten seconds later.

Once the Emotional Value stopped increasing.

Zhuge Lan put away his Martial Soul and headed into the academy.

The others snapped out of their daze and hurried after him.

Zhu Zhuqing moved close to Zhuge Lan again.

"How did you make your first Soul Ring a thousand-year one?"

She really didn't beat around the bush.

But given Zhu Zhuqing's obsession with becoming stronger, the fact that she had held back until now already counted as restraint.

Seeing everyone else pricking up their ears.

Zhuge Lan gave a mysterious smile.

"Of course, I have a special Secret Recipe."

"That is—"

Everyone slowed their steps, afraid of missing some crucial information.

Unexpectedly.

Zhuge Lan changed his tune. "You don't actually think I'd just tell you something this secretive, do you?"

Everyone: (●-●)●)●)

Emotional Value +999

Emotional Value +999

Fine, don't tell us then!

Why did you have to leave everyone hanging?

They quickened their pace, putting distance between themselves and Zhuge Lan.

Only Zhu Zhuqing refused to give up.

She pressed, "What price must I pay to obtain that Secret Recipe?"

"No!"

"I don't need the Secret Recipe. As long as you can increase my Soul Ring Year Limit too, that's enough!"

One step ahead meant every step ahead.

Even if the earlier Soul Rings had just an extra thousand years, it would still be an advantage over those at the same rank.

With compound gains, the eventual increase would be extremely considerable.

That was why Zhu Zhuqing was so persistent.

Unfortunately.

Zhuge Lan also wanted Zhu Zhuqing's body.

So he pretended to think while actually searching.

System, is there anything I can give Zhu Zhuqing to increase her Soul Ring Year Limit?

Immortal Herbs, Soul Bones, Martial Soul Evolution.

There were plenty of methods.

But the prices...

They started at a million Emotional Value. He simply couldn't afford them.

He skipped straight to the end.

Oh?

This one was still a little expensive.

But if he gave it to Zhu Zhuqing, it seemed like he might have a chance to earn it back?

Zhuge Lan glanced at Zhu Zhuqing. Her gaze was firm as she met his.

"It's not impossible, but..." Zhuge Lan deliberately drew out the last word.
