Chapter 12: differentiation
Cang Hai picked a bigger Cui Li from the space ring and handed it to Xiao Yu, with a bold attitude of throwing a lot of money to make the beauties smile.
When Xiao Yu took the gem, his hands were trembling: "I think the gem should stay where it should be, instead of wandering around with me."
Cang Hai couldn't help laughing, he knew what the little mermaid was worried about: "If it's broken, you don't have to pay for it. It was originally for your use, and if it's broken, it can only mean that you have met my requirements."
This made Xiao Yu start to wonder what kind of idea Cang Hai had.
What kind of family, such expensive gemstones are broken for fun?
"Do you still remember how you broke Cui Li?" Cang Hai asked him at the right time.
This stopped him from asking.
Xiao Yu recalled what happened after he got Cui Li, he wondered why Cang Hai would make such a strange request to cut Cui Li without using any tools. Then they were attacked by a group of sand crabs. Could it be that they were broken when Cang Hai fought with the sand crabs?
He told Cang Hai his guess.
Cang Hai looked helpless: "You can't remember at all how you cut it in half?"
Xiao Yu shook his head, and at the same time he was puzzled, did he guess wrong?
At first, he thought it was crushed by the energy gun, but after thinking about it, with the hardness of emerald, it should not be so easy to break.
Only possible sand crabs.
"Forget it, Cuili will leave it to you. When it breaks, ask me to get a new one."
Cang Hai probably understands that the little mermaid still can't control her mental power very well, maybe it's because during the fight with the sand crab, her emotions became extremely tense, which triggered the release of her mental power.
Maybe the three fleeing sand crabs are also related to Xiao Yu's mental strength.
After all, he didn't force Xiao Yu to master the use of mental power right away. The characteristics of spiritual power vary from person to person. For example, he can only stimulate his spiritual power in battle. Spiritual power can help him see through the enemy's attack trajectory, and at the same time he can control the mecha. More handy.
Only by understanding one's own spiritual power can one better exert the role of spiritual power.
There are no shortcuts in this regard, only the little mermaid can figure it out on her own.
Xiao Yu accepted Cui Li with a heavy heart, he could vaguely guess the reason why Cang Hai gave him Cui Li, because in the original book, Cui Li was as hard as a diamond, but not as expensive as a diamond, and it was the best material for exercising spiritual power.
A piece of emerald the size of a thumb is enough for most people with spiritual power to exercise for a year.
If Cui Li was really cut in half by him, wouldn't it mean that he is very talented? Then will he be able to become a powerful fighter like Cang Hai in the future?
He stroked Cuili in his hand, and put it in his pocket with great care.
It turns out, however, that he was oversimplifying things.
For several days, he failed to cause even the slightest damage to Cuili, which made him wonder if he really cut the first piece of Cuili?
Xiao Yu is not a person who can hide things, especially in front of Cang Hai.
Knowing that the little mermaid had no progress in controlling her mental power, Cang Hai specially cleaned out the roe of the female sand crab and filled a pot full.
He is not a character who is good at comforting people, but he knows that as long as the little mermaid eats delicious food, his mood will turn from cloudy to sunny.
Very coaxing.
Uncooked crab roe was mushy and slightly unremarkable, a bit like cold pumpkin porridge.
But anyone who has eaten crab roe will know how sweet and delicious this stuff is, and it is lovable.
Xiao Yu stood by the pot with bright eyes, since he hunted sand crabs, he has been waiting for this meal.
However, compared with the oily crab roe, crab meat is more perishable, so he and Cang Hai peeled off the unfinished crab meat in advance and put it in the air dryer to dry.
Naturally, crab roe cannot be air-dried, and he was reluctant to waste such a good thing on air-drying.
The crab roe in the pot is gradually solidified, and the surface of the cooked crab roe is golden yellow, making people drool even through the pot lid.
Cang Hai nodded slightly under Xiao Yu's expectant eyes, indicating that he could start the pot.
As soon as the lid of the pot was opened, an overbearing aroma escaped in an instant. Xiao Yu quickly took a spoon and dug a large spoonful into the bowl. Of course, the first mouthful was for the eldest brother to taste.
It was my turn to speak second.
The plump and smooth crab roe immediately conquered Xiao Yu's taste buds. The sweetness of the crab roe has reached an incomparable level. Without any seasoning, it is enough to make the diners go crazy for it.
The taste of crab roe is a bit like salted egg yolk, but under the lubrication of oil, the taste of crab roe is a bit more dense.
Whether it is a small sip or a big chew, it has a special flavor. The strong fresh fragrance lingers in the mouth for a long time, and it almost passes through the nasal cavity and climbs to the top of the head. The fat but not greasy sweetness makes the scalp tingle, and the wonderful taste hits the soul directly.
Xiao Yu ate to his heart's content, only one of the five sand crabs was a female crab, and such a large female crab could sort out such a pot of crab roe.
It can be said that crab roe is the essence of the female crab, and he should be grateful for the gift of nature to eat crab roe on Desolate Star.
Cang Hai was also very satisfied with the crab roe, but he also discovered something more interesting: "Where's your Cui Li?"
"In the pocket ah." Xiao Yu replied without thinking.
Cang Hai stretched out his hand to him: "Take it out and have a look."
Hearing this, even though he didn't know what Cang Hai wanted to do with that emerald, Xiao Yu followed Cang Hai's order and took out the emerald that was put together with the energy gun.
Only after looking at it did I realize something was wrong: "How is it..."
Cang Hai took Cui Li away and groped carefully: "There are cracks on the surface, yes, keep working hard."
Xiao Yu stared blankly at the Cui Li that he carried with him, and he competed with it every day when he and Cang Hai went out on inspections.
No matter how much he stared at Cui Li, he couldn't break Cui Li, but he was almost cross-eyed.
He can guarantee that Cui Li will be fine until the meal.
That's weird, it doesn't make sense that he ate a meal of crab roe and cracked Cui Li, right?
He felt that Cang Hai must know something, otherwise he would not have let him take out Cuili at this time.
Fortunately, Cang Hai didn't intend to hide his secrets at first: "I believe you have also discovered that Cui Li was in an intact form before, but now it is incomplete. We have not been affected by any external force, and all our actions are nothing more than food. It's just a meal of crab roe."
Xiao Yu really couldn't figure it out: "Could it be that I really broke Cui Li?"
The corner of Cang Hai's mouth raised slightly, the little mermaid really dared to think.
Then he opened and closed his lips and told him the answer: "Of course not. There are levels of mental power. The higher the level of mental power, the easier it is to be restricted. This is a self-selection made by the human brain for the survival of the body. After all Using a lot of mental power all the time will also cause irreversible damage to the body."
Xiao Yu nodded thoughtfully. What Cang Hai said was to tell him that his spiritual power was restricted.
It is also mentioned in the original book that everyone has different mental power characteristics, and mental power determines what career this person is suitable for.
For example, if someone can use mental power when cooking, then this person is more suitable to be a chef or a nutritionist. He can even control the taste of food and how much nutrition it contains, which is a great skill.
What about him?
Could it be that his mental power is triggered when he eats? So he is more suitable to be a gourmet?
Xiao Yu is quite looking forward to this, eating all the delicacies in the universe can be regarded as living up to this time travel.
"Think about it, what were you doing when Cui Li was shattered twice?" Cang Hai continued to be persuasive.
The first time, it was Cang Hai who was fighting the sand crab; the second time, he was enjoying the food.
Is there any connection between these two? Xiao Yu was puzzled.
Cang Hai knocked on Xiao Yu's forehead: "Stupid."
Xiao Yu was extremely wronged: "I only remember when I was fighting with you and the sand crab, I really wanted to help you, but I couldn't help you. Then I ate crab roe today. What connection?"
Cang Hai was amused by the incoherent little mermaid: "The first time you were very anxious, but the second time you enjoyed it a lot. Your emotional changes may be the key to unlocking your spiritual power."
Xiao Yu: ...
The first time and the second time, it sounds weird.
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is interested. Cang Hai doesn't know where Xiao Yu's thoughts are flying: "I've said everything I need to say. As for whether you can understand it, it's up to you. Master the use of mental power as soon as possible, and we will leave the wilderness. A star is an extra guarantee.”
Hearing what Cang Hai said, Xiao Yu hastily and solemnly agreed: "I will work hard."
With an extra burden on his shoulders, he feels happy in his heart, he is finally useful, although it is only Cang Hai's one-sided opinion.
…
into the night.
Cang Hai suddenly woke up from his sleep, the long sword in his hand was out of the sheath, and he listened vigilantly to the sounds around him.
Nothing happened.
He clearly smelled a faint pheromone, different from him and Xiao Yu... Wait, Xiao Yu is still underage, so he should not smell the slightest pheromone.
If it's not an alien pheromone, it's only possible...
Following the cool and sweet fragrance in the air, he smelled the neck of the sleeping mermaid all the way.
Suddenly, his heart was shocked, he never imagined that the little mermaid's differentiation tendency turned out to be Omega!
