I'm shivering and freezing!

When will those of us who have consumed the Nanook finally be able to stand up?

Chen Li took out rice, Chen Li took out seaweed sheets, Chen Li took out seasonings...

"What are you doing?" Herta tilted his head, not understanding why Chen Li suddenly started cooking.

What's wrong with you?

Even if the Magical Dancer starts dancing at the drop of a hat, it's still the person who showed up first.

"I'm cooking for my food," Chen Li said.

"You can cook? Are you making seaweed rice balls? It looks a bit simple... but it smells so good. Can I have a bite?" Little Herta, who has the ability to eat due to its machine spirit, asked with drooling.

"Q: How many steps are needed to devour the Aeon?" Chen Li suddenly asked.

"Ah?"

"Three steps. First, make a rice ball that can lure the gods, then throw the rice ball out..." Chen Li threw the rice ball he had just made into the sky and then opened his mouth.

"Aww!" A figure hidden behind countless masks ate a rice ball in one bite.

Chen Li, who had been waiting patiently, bit off one of the countless masks.

"!!" Herta stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Holy crap!

Aeon of Intellect! Come out and see God!

The Genius Society member have become gluttons!

Chapter 183 The Great Herta: Come lick my fingers, Chen Li!

"You didn't expect that, did you, Aha? I knew all along that you'd been Peeping me, which is why I threw out this delicacy that could tempt even the gods."

"You didn't expect that, did you, Chen Li? I knew all along that you were Peeping me, so when I came out to eat this delicious food, I had already changed the mask next to me into the mask of a certain Masked Fool."

"You didn't expect that, did you, Aha? I knew all along that you would change your mask into a fake one, but I can eat anything, so it doesn't matter to me."

"You didn't expect that, did you? Chen Li, I knew all along that you could eat anything, so that mask was made from the sandals of that female Masked Fool, whom you know!"

"???"

"Aha, just kidding. Is it funny? I think it's hilarious."

"Give me back the sandals I asked for." Chen Li held out her hand to Aha.

"???"

"Aha, just kidding. Is it funny? I think it's hilarious." Chen Li shrugged.

"It doesn't feel like a joke," the Aeon of Joy muttered, stroking his chin.

"Of course it was a joke! Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. We asked you to pass on a message to the Aeon of Intellect. Did you do it?" Chen Li changed the subject.

"What do you want to see the Aeon of Intellect? Like you bit me and the Nanook, take a bite out of that lump of scrap metal? You really aren't picky about food," Aha said with a grin.

Here it is! The extra who can casually rattle off even the most incredible secrets in the story!

"After you two heard what Aha said, didn't you do anything?" Chen Li turned to look at the Herta and Little Herta, who were hiding in the "golden shield" of their Friends Circle.

The Herta dolls and the Little Herta, possessed by the Great Herta, can only communicate normally with the Aeon of Joy when they are within Friends Circles.

Screwllum was able to communicate normally before because Screwllum was the real Screwgoom, but the two Herta now are not the real Herta.

"So when you asked me if I could observe the Nanook, you meant that you went to take a bite of the Nanook during that short time you were away? Hey, why didn't you just say so?" Herta waved his hand.

The Great Herta was no longer surprised, because it had used up all its surprise for the day after seeing Chen Li take a bite of the Aeon of Joy's mask.

"That wasn't just a bite; I gnawed on it for almost a month," Chen Li retorted.

"Ha?"

"Absolutely, absolutely! Chen Li just traveled back over a hundred years and spent a whole month devouring the Nanook. I saw it, I can testify." Aha nodded repeatedly.

"How did you know he traveled back a hundred years?" Herta looked at Aha suspiciously.

"Ugh, we didn't coordinate this reason properly, I'm so stupid. But anyway, you can't forget the delicious food you promised me." Aha tapped his head with his fist in frustration.

"..." Chen Li could barely hold back her laughter.

You're even more mischievous than an Aha.

This is precisely why Chen Li only took a bite of the Aeon of Joy Mask, because Chen Li was afraid of being infected by the Aeon of Joy and becoming a drama queen.

The Gourmet Cells only needs one bite, as for gaining spiritual attribute growth through Devouring the Aeon... Chen Li should trouble his good brother IX instead.

As everyone can see, IX didn't object to Chen Li eating "food" at all.

The God of God of Gluttony's effect is that "your devouring can cause irreversible damage to the part of the god that has been devoured." Chen Li is thinking about whether he can avoid causing damage to the other party, so that he can have a continuous buffet.

As for why Aha knows so clearly, perhaps it's because Aha really saw it?

"Wait, did I travel to the past and cause the world line I altered to overwrite the current world line, or have I always been in a world line that I altered? Do you know the answer to this question?" Chen Li suddenly thought of this question and looked at Aha.

"God knows, I don't know. So you can go ask God." Aha maintained his consistent persona as a God of Fun.

"..." A Miracle Card appeared in Chen Li's hand.

"Oh, I hate this Miracle Card. Chen Li, take my advice, it's no fun if you know everything, so I'll take my leave now. Anyway, I've successfully delivered your message, and that piece of scrap metal didn't say anything. You can try again tomorrow. If he doesn't agree to the invitation, I'll personally send you over by express delivery." After Aha finished speaking at lightning speed, his figure slowly dissipated, not giving Chen Li a chance to ask any questions.

"So you really went to a hundred years ago?" After Aha left, the Herta and Little Herta, who had been hugging each other, finally let go of each other and then returned Chen Li's Friends Circle to Chen Li.

"Why would I lie to you? These are Miracle Cards." Chen Li tossed two Miracle Cards over.

"If you had Miracle Card, why didn't you just show it to us?"

"You don't understand. What I want to see is your surprised and incredulous expressions. Preferably the kind where you're lying on the ground."

"Your taste is truly unique... Indeed, I am still the only genius with a sound personality in the entire Genius Society," Herta retorted.

Then Herta and Little Herta watched the Miracle Cards together.

"Didn't you bring any local specialties out of the Nanook's body?" This was Herta's first question after looking at the Miracle Card.

"No wonder we're all Genius Society member, I thought so too. I actually brought some local specialties." Chen Li said, while taking out his Friends Circle to display the Nanook's body, which was the size of a preserved egg.

This Little Black Handsome's essence is similar to that of the Divine Body Amber.

The difference is that the Divine Body Amber does not actively affect the outside world, while Little Black Handsome does.

"It has research value, I like it! Sell it to me." Herta was eager to make a purchase.

"Sure. One serving for each person. I cut a lot. My good brother IX is just too kind," Chen Li said.

Chen Li had forgotten how many times his good brother IX had turned him into stagnant water. In short, IX's depths were full of traces left by Chen Li, so it was reasonable for Chen Li to take some local specialties.

"We'll talk about the research later. I have a question," Herta said.

"Ask."

"If you really want to eat the Nanook, why don't you use the Destiny Invitation Key to invite Him? The Nanook's life motto is to give up, so He shouldn't strongly resist your invitation. Besides, you'll be forcibly sent back after eating for 30 minutes, so don't worry about being stuck in the depths of the Nihility forever," Herta asked.

"Because tasting the Nanook in the Invitation Space might not produce Miracle Card," Chen Li explained.

Chen Li had actually considered Herta's brilliant idea, but the fact that it might not produce Miracle Card successfully dissuaded Chen Li.

In other words, now that the Miracle Card has been created, Chen Li will no longer need to be tied to an arrow by the Acheron and shot into the depths of IX when he goes to catch up with his good brothers.

Chen Li can go directly to date the Nanook.

Eating while on a date.

"I see... So your plan to devour the Devouring Star God's Glance was also premeditated?"

"This was an accident."

"There's another question: does your Miracle Card activate the moment it's created?"

"Um?"

"I'm thinking... What If you devoured the Gaze of the Devouring Star God and made it irreversible, would it mean you severed the connection between the Path of Voracity and mortals, preventing the number of Path of Voracity Pathstrider from increasing? Because the essence of the Aeon's Gaze is that when a mortal's will overlaps with their Path, and the other party's will is strong enough, they receive the 'attention' of the Path, thus allowing them to draw a small amount of power from Path. This is the process of the birth of Pathstrider," Herta said.

When the will of a mortal overlaps with the Path of Aeon, it can be seen as the mortal walking on the Path.

If one's will is strong enough, one can gain a little power from Path, hence the name "Pathstrider".

In Herta's view, the matter of "consuming the Aeon's Glance" can be either a big deal or a small deal when it comes to conceptual abilities.

"This... I don't know. This Miracle Card was created after I consumed the Gaze of the Devouring Star God, so it didn't work at the time," Chen Li said.

"Then I have another question."

"Why do you have so many questions?" Chen Li sighed.

"For geniuses like us, the biggest problem is actually the absence of problems. Having problems is a good thing," Herta said matter-of-factly.

"Ask away."

"What If, and I mean What If, when you use the Destiny Invitation Key, you hold food that is fatally tempting to the gods and invite them in, can you trick the gods into the Invitation Space to eat?"

"???"

"After all, you yourself said that the Destiny Invitation Key can invite life from different worlds, and as long as the other party does not resist, the probability of the invitation failing is very low."

"Hiss..."

"However, before you, Chen Li, indulge in your delusions, you need to understand one thing: which groups are referred to as 'gods' in the God of God of Gluttony? If it refers to figures with great power who are worshipped by countless people, then I am also a god. Because the researchers at the Herta Space Station regard me as a god."

"Can I try biting you?"

"That's okay."

"You actually agreed?"

"We're practically family... How about biting my nails? If they don't grow back, it proves it works on me." Herta waved his hand.

"Can."

"Then I'll come over personally after my main body has spent three hours in the trash can." A smile appeared on Herta's face.

No wonder the Great Herta wanted to laugh...

The thought that Chen Li, who dared to bite even the Aeon, could now submit to him and obediently Heart Wings kiss his fingers Great Herta with excitement.

"Um, wait a minute, where did the Little Black Handsome I put next to me go?" Chen Li asked, startled.

"Burp." Little Herta burped at just the right moment.

The Little Herta attracted the attention of Chen Li and the Herta.

"I figured if Chen Li can eat big preserved eggs, then I can eat small preserved eggs too," Little Herta said, tilting his head.

"Ha?"

"And I think this thing is perfect as Backup Hidden Energy Source for the doll! If the fusion is successful, I'll hit the jackpot! Oh, and if the original body dies, consider it a sacrifice for science. Remember to watch the ad to revive me." Little Herta lay on the sofa in a relaxed, reclining position.

Are you sick in the head?

"I'm not sick, I just want to improve too much! Machine Soul, let me see your limits!... hiccup"

Chapter 184 Little Herta: What do you mean I now have Backup Hidden Energy Source?!

"Her personality must come from you. After all, she's the Little Herta, and you're the Great Herta."

"Don't talk nonsense. Her personality definitely comes from you. After all, you're the one who gave her a new life."

"No, no, no, although I like to court death, I always have a reason for it, so it must be your problem."

"No, no, no. While I don't mind taking risks to conduct experiments for research purposes, there's no such risk. It must be a problem with the enhanced machine spirit you've created."

"The Little Herta has Personality Mapping Module that maps your personality, so it's your problem."

"... This little thing won't have any impact on me in the world of geniuses, but it will ruin my reputation in the world of puppeteers, so I don't acknowledge it."

"You two, that's enough! Can you stop pushing me around like that?" Little Herta Herta, who was lying on the sofa and was being pushed back and forth between Chen Li Herta Tower, got angry.
