A Piece of Roast Meat and the Trouble It Caused...

A Piece of Roast Meat and the Trouble It Caused

Real Universe, Donghai City, Detective Bureau.

Su Li slowly opened his eyes. The first thing that entered his sight was Xia Ke's serene, pretty face.

"Tut, she's really beautiful!"

After secretly sighing in admiration, Su Li opened the Blue Screen.

Glancing at the greatly increased rank progress and Resource Points, Su Li smiled happily. Then he opened the Shop and let his gaze slide downward. Before long, he found what he wanted.

Rank: E- (77%)—400 Resource Points

After eating God Remnants all afternoon, Su Li had barely managed to eat half of them. However, his rank progress had already jumped from thirty-seven percent to seventy-seven percent—a full forty percent increase.

Now, Su Li was completely certain that as long as he finished eating that piece of God Remnants, he would be able to advance to E-Class completely. Unfortunately, there was not enough time at the moment. He would have to wait until night.

Without hesitation, Su Li spent 400 Resource Points to manifest the rank progress. As a wave of heat flowed through him, his rank in reality also reached seventy-seven percent.

Afterward, Su Li did not immediately leave the Shop. Instead, he began searching through it again.

A moment later, his eyes lit up. He had found what he needed.

A piece of roasted Su Lie Pig—10 Resource Points.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Li spent another ten Resource Points and bought the roast meat.

Real Universe—

A piece of roast meat the size of a human head suddenly appeared in Su Li's hands. It was somewhat charred from roasting.

The Su Lie Pig was an F+-Class beast. Su Li had specifically gone to the Barren Forest to find it.

Although he could not yet call what he had with Xia Ke true love, as a qualified boyfriend, doing something for his girl was no problem.

Since Xia Ke wanted to advance, Su Li naturally had to help her as much as he could. Meat from an F+-Class beast definitely contained far more energy than the so-called Energy Potion. If Xia Ke ate this, she would certainly benefit greatly.

The only problem was that the meat's origin would be difficult to explain.

But since Su Li dared to take it out, he had naturally already thought of a solution.

Besides, this meat was not as sensitive as the Gene Blueprint. Even if it was somewhat special, what could happen as long as there was not too much of it?

Moreover, once it was eaten, it would be gone. As long as Xia Ke did not say anything, who would know that this meat was extraordinary?

Perhaps she had been drawn out of her Breathing Technique practice by the smell of the charred roast meat, because Xia Ke soon stopped practicing.

Xia Ke opened her eyes, and Su Li's smiling face entered her sight.

"Finished cultivating? Come, have some." Su Li spoke.

"What is this?" Xia Ke accepted the roast meat Su Li handed her. After examining it for a moment, she asked, "Is this roast meat? Where did it come from? Did you go out and buy it?"

"Hehe, don't ask so many questions yet. Eat it first, then we'll talk!"

"..."

After glancing at the roast meat, whose appearance was truly nothing to write home about, Xia Ke shook her head without hesitation.

"Really not going to eat it?"

"Not eating it!" Xia Ke replied without hesitation.

"This is good stuff. Just take a bite!" As he spoke, Su Li tore off a small piece from the large chunk of roast meat and brought it to Xia Ke's mouth.

Su Li had already put the roast meat to her lips, so Xia Ke had no choice but to eat it.

"Mmph, it tastes awful!!!"

Xia Ke pouted and glared at Su Li, her resentment plain on her face.

"Uh, is it really that bad?" Su Li was speechless. No matter what, this was a product he had carefully roasted himself!

"It's the kind of awful that's super awful!" Xia Ke said seriously. "Su Li, were you tricked? Any roast meat from a random place outside would taste much better than this. Besides, no one would roast such a huge piece of meat all at once!"

Su Li: "..."

"It might taste a little bad, but this is good stuff!" Su Li continued. "If you don't believe me, try practicing the Breathing Technique now!"

"The Breathing Technique?"

"Mm!"

"What does roast meat have to do with the Breathing Technique?" Xia Ke asked.

"Just try it first, all right?"

"Oh!"

Seeing that Su Li did not look like he was teasing her, Xia Ke nodded and began practicing the Breathing Technique.

At first, she did not feel anything. But because she trusted Su Li, Xia Ke continued practicing.

A moment later—

Xia Ke suddenly felt a wave of heat appear inside her body. It was then swiftly guided into her body by the Breathing Technique. The sensation was like... like drinking an Energy Potion!

After a while, Xia Ke opened her eyes again.

"How is it?" Su Li asked, having watched Xia Ke the entire time.

"Th-this... what... what is this?" Xia Ke asked incoherently.

"What do you think?"

"It feels like... an Energy Potion, but this is clearly just a piece of roast meat!"

"That's right. It's something similar, except it's far better than an Energy Potion. The energy contained in the two can't even be compared!" Su Li said with a smile.

"Come, eat it. It'll help you greatly!"

"But, but... something like this must be very precious, right?" Xia Ke was not stupid. An Energy Potion already cost three thousand yuan per bottle, let alone this!

Compared with what Su Li had said, Xia Ke had felt the difference even more deeply herself.

She had only eaten a small piece of meat, yet she already felt as though she had drunk an entire bottle of Energy Potion.

It was easy to imagine how valuable this piece of meat was!

"You're more precious." Su Li smiled faintly, then pointed at the roast meat set to the side. "Come on, eat it."

Although this thing was actually worthless, Su Li still went along with Xia Ke's assumption.

It was an easy multiple-choice question. Su Li knew exactly what to say without even having to think.

"..."

Sure enough, just as Su Li had expected, Xia Ke was moved to tears by his words.

"Waa—"

Xia Ke pouted and suddenly threw herself at Su Li.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Su Li was somewhat stunned. He had guessed that Xia Ke might be very touched, but he had not expected her to launch a surprise attack.

"Su Li, you're so good to me!" Xia Ke lifted her head and looked at Su Li.

Su Li: "..."

Looking down at Xia Ke's beautiful face, Su Li was suddenly overwhelmed by a powerful impulse—one he could not suppress.

"You're even better."

As Su Li spoke, he gently pushed Xia Ke a short distance away, then lowered his head and kissed her.

"Mmph!"

In an instant, Xia Ke froze.
