Chapter 253 Traveling to Soroya
Energy cubes, officially called Poké cubes, sound very high-end, but in fact they are just a plus upgraded version of "dog food".
Its principle is to use some kind of black technology to concentrate the energy and nutrients of multiple tree fruits and compress them into a cube the size of a sugar cube for easy portability.
In principle, eating 4 tree fruits is equivalent to the energy cubes produced by eating 4 tree fruits.
It's just that the latter is processed to be easier for elves to absorb, is more delicious, and easier to carry and eat.
The essence of making energy cubes is to continuously improve the ratio of tree fruits to adjust the nutritional components, and improve the production techniques to make the finished product more delicious and palatable.
Therefore, different people have different production methods. In addition to referring to the one-click operation of the ingredient list that comes with the machine, they all need to rely on their own experiments to constantly find the formula and parameters suitable for their own elf.
"It looks like it's troublesome. Let's use the built-in mode according to his recipe first."
After carefully studying the manual of the machine, Zhou You, who had already been feeling sleepy since eight o'clock, felt dizzy. Maybe he should not read the manual and start operating it directly.
So he used sharp knife skills to process 2 apple wild fruits and 2 orange orange fruits, and threw them into the feed port of the energy cube maker.
As the start button is pressed, the machine makes a sound similar to that of a washing machine.
After about five minutes, the machine stopped and four crystal-clear red square objects fell from the discharge port.
This is the energy cube necessary to participate in the gorgeous contest in the game.
It is difficult for Zhou You to imagine what kind of technology is used to compress the ingredients of four tree fruits into something the size of four sugar cubes...
"The red square? According to the instructions, it means that I only put in the spicy fruit."
If it is not done well, it will be burnt black, 4 flavors will be white, 3 flavors will be gray, and if there are only 1 or 2 flavors and the production level is high, it will be golden.
The pure spicy, sweet, bitter and sour taste corresponds to the energy cubes in five colors: red, blue, pink, green and yellow.
If there are two flavors, which of the five spicy, astringent, sweet, bitter, and sour flavors is higher will be divined, and the five colors will appear: purple, green, tea, sky blue, and yellow-green.
Under very special circumstances, the formed energy cubes will occasionally be rainbow-colored, but the exact reason for this is unknown.
After checking the instructions and the energy cubes had cooled down, Zhou You tasted one without thinking.
It's a bit spicy but not particularly spicy. It tastes like a mixture of apple and orange fruits. The texture is crunchy and easy to eat, and it will melt slowly after a while even if you don't chew it.
Much like snacks such as candies, there seems to be nothing special about them.
And what's incredible is that even though Zhou You only ate a small piece of energy cube, he actually felt a slight feeling of fullness in his stomach.
Can such a small amount of food satisfy a person?
"The power of science (black technology) is really great." He could only sigh.
…
Just when Zhou You got a new toy, he was excited to try various recipes to make energy cubes.
Eden and Leftover arrived at Kuye City from Zhenxin Town in a hurry.
In this era, the Internet is not developed enough. If you want to buy ferry tickets or air tickets to distant areas, you need to go to the train station or pier in person. Telephone booking is not available for the time being because phones are not yet popular... In fact, They can definitely consider cooperating with the Elf Center.
"There are too many humans. Is the ticket hall in this place so busy?" Looking at the ticket hall where people were still coming and going, Eden, who was lying on Zhanfan's head, frowned slightly, "The more people there are, the better the illusion will be." The easier it is to spot the flaw, let’s go find a restaurant to have something to eat first.”
Although being seen through was not a big problem - it was not uncommon for elves to go shopping instead of humans - but Eden mainly wanted to eat some local food outside.
"Wang?" Do you have money to eat at the restaurant?
"Qiaoqiao gave me a large amount of money before we went out. After dinner, we can go to the market to buy them some gifts and ingredients for tomorrow. By the way, it's a drop-in trip anyway. When we go back after buying the tickets, we go to the Elf Tower in Ziyuan Town. How about that Gengar who was suspected of being the overlord?"
"Woo..."
Hearing this, Zhanfan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Kuye City is in the south-central part of Kanto, Zhenxin Town is in the northwest of Kuye City, and Ziyuan Town is in the northeast of Kuye City?
Is this really the way to go?
Its big brain couldn't figure it out.
Just as he was thinking about it, Eden, who turned into a human being, unknowingly took the leftovers to a restaurant for a delicious meal. After wandering around the market for a while, he went to the ticket hall to buy a boat ticket.
It was almost midnight when we finally arrived at the Elf Center of Ziyuan Town.
As soon as he arrived at the Elf Center, Eden made a call to Zhou You through the device inside.
"What's wrong, Eden?" The latter looked at the other person sleepily, not sure what the little fox wanted to do by calling him at this time.
"Qiaoqiao, we have already bought the ticket to Fenglai City in the Hezhong area. Zuanfan and I thought it would be a convenient way anyway, so we decided to come to Ziyuan Town and plan to explore the Elf Tower."
"By the way...are you planning to circle this planet once and then return to Zhenxin Town?"
Zhenxin Town is in the west, so you can go east as well. The earth is round, right?
Eden, who was complained about, immediately argued: "Oh, Zhanfan and I can be teleported back to Zhenxin Town through the Pokémon storage system. Isn't it a good way to go to any Pokémon Center?"
Isn't there an elf center in Dead Leaf City?
Zhou You shook his head and said nothing more. He just took a look at the time and said, "If you have to go to the Elf Tower to explore at midnight, be careful. Most ghost elves are more active at night. Then you wait." Hang up the phone and don't leave yet. Log in to my account and I'll send Arthur to you."
"Okay, the more members there are on the expedition, the more fun it will be!" Seeing that Qiaoqiao agreed to go on the adventure, Eden immediately promised, "Don't worry, if there is any danger, Zhanfan and I will teleport and take the other elves away. ”
After thinking for a moment, Eden added: "By the way, I also bought some gifts for everyone and ingredients for tomorrow's lunch. I will also store them in the prop storage system later. Qiao Qiao, you must remember to take them out. ”
"What did you say..."
Before Zhou You could finish his words to stop the other party from using his prop storage system account, Eden wisely hung up the phone.
"..."
In desperation, Zhou You had no choice but to go to the Stone Forest Mountain area in person to bring Arthur, who was dozing, back to the research institute. After giving him a few instructions for attention, he handed it a bunch of energy cubes he had made at night, and then handed Arthur over. Teleported to the Elf Center of Ziyuan Town.
After seeing off the Charizard, he logged into the prop storage system with a headache and rummaged through a pile of outrageous props to find the vegetables, ingredients and gifts that Eden bought.
