"You call this a party?"
Li Yi looked confused and pointed at the bonfire in front of him, unable to believe his eyes.
Flot smiled slightly and quickly raised his hand to push Li Yi's shoulders forward.
"Hey, this is the best thing, barbecue! This is the essence of eating."
Li Yi shook his head.
"I don't object to what you say, but it's based on seasonings and techniques. How can it be roasted directly in the fire like this!"
"Okay, okay, don't complain in a hurry first, taste it and get a taste of it before talking."
Flot kept urging, as if he was trying to sell something.
With doubts and the fact that he hadn't eaten anything for so many days, Li Yi was indeed very hungry.
I had to find an open space and sit down, and immediately someone came up with a plate of freshly roasted meat.
Li Yi frowned after taking a look at the meat that was almost as black as before. He didn't know what it was.
After hesitating for a moment, he picked a piece, mustered up the courage, and took a bite with his eyes closed.
I originally thought that this kind of barbecue without any seasonings and cooking techniques was very perfunctory would not have much flavor.
At best, it tastes like paste.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took his mouth, the meat that looked like black charcoal slid directly into the esophagus, and then a refreshing fragrance hit his nostrils, making Li Yi couldn't help but let out a wow.
Flot who was on the side saw him like this and smiled.
"How's it going? Not bad, right?"
"What kind of meat is this?"
Li Yi chewed a few mouthfuls and felt that the meat simply melted in his mouth and could be easily swallowed without much chewing.
This does not match the appearance of the food at all!
If I have to say it, it's like a dark black forest cake.
There is even a hint of sweetness!
"Hey, you don't care what kind of meat it is, it's just delicious, isn't it?"
Flot smiled, seemingly unprepared to respond.
Seeing this, Li Yi couldn't help but become serious, and his tone of voice became cold.
"I advise you to tell the truth."
Seeing Li Yi's sudden change of expression, Flot was stunned for a moment, then thought of something and couldn't help laughing.
"Where are you thinking? Hey, forget it. Since you want to know so much, I'll tell you."
"Say it now."
Li Yi said coldly.
"You are really... okay, okay, I say."
Having said this, Flot suddenly put away his playful smile, and the expression on his face became solemn.
His voice sounded less cynical and more serious.
"Do you think that what I gave you to eat was not something serious? Then you are wrong."
"I admit, I used to hate gods, and I really didn't think highly of humans."
"But don't forget, I have stayed in this world much longer than you humans. If you calculate it, I can probably be regarded as a person of your grandfather's generation."
"Human beings are selfish and ruthless, like to be brave and ruthless, mercenary, and most like to play conspiracy. But I can name a lot of words to describe people in one breath. This is almost impossible to see in other creatures. .”
"It's like a mixture of evil. As long as there are evils in this world, they can all be related to humans."
"I always had a feeling at that time, as if all the evil and chaos in the world are related to humans, and everything that triggers all this comes from humans."
"For a long time after that, I had this kind of emotion towards you humans, and it even exceeded the hatred of gods for a time."
"Maybe it's because I've lived in the world for too long and seen too many dark sides that I feel this way..."
At this point, Flot suddenly changed the subject, and the expression on his face became extremely sincere.
"Later I learned that human beings are actually a complex of contradictions. They are not just dark, evil, and chaotic. In addition to these, they also have many praiseworthy and praiseworthy sides. I think even if I don't say these, You can also think of a lot in a flash.”
"For example, the Eastern Kingdom on a certain planet, in order to resist, will not hesitate to fight until the last drop of blood is shed, and will never give up."
"They wore bare-footed straw sandals in the middle of winter, held weapons that were many times inferior to the enemy's, faced enemies several times their own, and remained fearless. Until the last person died in battle, not even a single People surrender.”
"Someone once asked them why they didn't wear warmer shoes. What do you think they said?"
At this point, the two of them already had a tacit understanding and spoke almost at the same time.
"They said they didn't want to live through this winter!"
After the words fell, the two looked at each other. Li Yi's eyes, reflected in the bonfire, were shining brightly for some reason. He stared at Flot with an unprecedented relaxation in his eyes.
"So you have been to that planet."
Flott didn't deny it.
"To be honest, I thought about helping them at that time. It was this group of people that subverted my collective understanding of human beings."
"There is a saying in that country that I remember very clearly, one kind of rice feeds a hundred kinds of people. You cannot deny that there are many kinds of people in this world."
Having said this, Flot looked at Li Yi.
"Just like them, you have a pair of black eyes and yellow skin. To be honest, it was because of this that I did not choose forced invasion when I was initiating the system."
Li Yi smiled, wiped his eyes, and pretended that nothing happened.
"I didn't expect that I still had the blessing of my ancestors. By the way, since you have seen them, haven't you helped them?"
Flot nodded subconsciously, then shook his head.
"I thought about it and expressed it, but they declined. I don't know if it was because of my status at the time."
"But even if they refused, your tribesmen were still very polite. They just said that they only wanted to rely on their own strength to fight against the invaders."
Li Yi couldn't help but nodded when he heard this.
"You are right. If you say that there are people in this universe with stronger bones than those of my tribe, I don't believe it."
"so!"
Flot seemed to have come out of his memories, patted Li Yi's shoulder hard, and looked at the plate of meat in front of him.
"Don't worry. As a demigod, I still have a very strong bottom line. I won't do things that are disdainful to you humans' moral values. Eat it, it's all good stuff."
"Then can you tell me, what kind of meat is this?"
Li Yi still didn't let go, although due to some fate, he basically trusted this guy who called himself a demigod.
No matter what, there still has to be a bottom line, Li Yi thought to himself.
"Hahaha, have you forgotten that I am a doctor? This is the synthetic meat I researched. The advantage of this kind of meat is that it contains very little fat. It is almost entirely composed of various substances that are beneficial to the human body. Moreover, I have also adjusted the ingredients. , so that the taste of the meat can adapt to the tastes of most people.”
"Don't look at how this thing looks. The piece you just ate is worth the price of a whole cow. So why do you think these people eat it so carefully instead of eating a big piece at a time like you do?" piece?"
After hearing this, Li Yi finally came to his senses.
No wonder the person who was doing it next to him just stared at him with envious eyes for a long time, and finally reluctantly swallowed the small piece of meat in his hand into his mouth without swallowing it, and closed his mouth. Enjoy the wonderful taste with your eyes.
In comparison, Li Yi's actions when eating meat were exactly like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit.
Swallow it whole!
"Sorry, I misunderstood you."
For the first time, Li Yi apologized to a former enemy. This was almost impossible to happen in the past.
In fact, after eating that small mouthful of meat just now, he could already feel a warm energy quietly seeping into his body, continuously replenishing his damaged skin and cells due to injury, including his internal organs. of damage.
This second time he started eating meat, Li Yi's movements seemed to be much more enjoyable than before.
Still taking a bite, he did not immediately swallow the melt-in-the-mouth synthetic meat, but held it in his mouth, slowly waiting for the meat juices to continuously explode in his mouth.
This process lasts for a long time, which is actually the prerequisite for synthetic meat to have a strong energy-supplementing effect.
After being fully melted by salivary enzymes, it flows into the esophagus and is dispersed into various organs of the body.
This was almost equivalent to a dose of synthetic super nutrient. Li Yi just took the second bite and felt that his original weakness had been greatly improved.
"Here, let's try this."
Seeing this, Flot handed him another dark drink.
This time, Li Yi drank it all without any hesitation.
