"Hmm... delicious... um..." Chitong stuffed her mouth full.
'I...lost to a guy like this? Esdeath looked at Chi Tong, who was talking nonsense, and held his breath a little.
"Although Esdeath doesn't cook often, the barbecue she makes tastes good." Eric looked at her a little depressed and praised her.
"When I go out hunting dangerous species, I also make some barbecue to satisfy my hunger. I only have some experience in making barbecue."
"Ara ala, then I will win this time." Kuang San said with a smile, because the dishes she cooked were like those made in a five-star hotel, and even the carvings on the plates were made, and the shapes were beautiful. The color is bright, the taste is delicious, and the overall color is delicious!
"Hmph, maybe it's just a fake and doesn't taste good." Esdeath would not give up without fighting. He picked up the food with a pair of chopsticks and took a bite. "...It tastes really good."
"So just admit defeat first."
"Admit defeat? It's impossible. Whether it tastes good or not depends on Eric's judgment."
"Me? When you asked for the match, you didn't ask me to be the referee!"
"So, who cooks delicious food?" they both asked at the same time.
"...I may make misjudgments due to subjective reasons. I suggest that people who have eaten your food participate in the selection." Eric wanted to drag others into the water, so that the loser would not only be angry with himself. One person's anger, no, even when voting, no one must see it, so that the anger of the two people will not be vented on myself, I am really a genius!
"The food we cook is just for you to comment on. Whether others think it tastes good or not has nothing to do with us."
"That's right, not to mention the unsupervised ballot box, stop playing your little tricks."
"..." Eric did not expect that the average intelligence of the people summoned was so high that not only their current thoughts were guessed, but their future plans were also predicted.
Looking at Chitong who was in a happy mood and working hard, Eric said with a heavy heart: "Let me eat every one of your dishes before I comment."
"Come on, eat more. Your strength needs to be strengthened and you need to exercise." This is no longer feeding, but stuffing. Esdeath's feeding is indeed rough and wild.
"Uh-huh!" Eric, whose mouth was full of meat, couldn't speak and could only wave his hands to stop him.
"He's waving happily. It's so cute."
Everyone who saw this scene complained in their hearts: 'No, he is asking for help. '
"What are you doing!" Kuang San felt distressed. He pulled Esdeath away and gently stroked Eric's back with his right hand to help him swallow.
"What's wrong?" Esdeath asked innocently, not feeling there was anything wrong with what he did.
"Hahaha, Esdeath-kun's feeding method is not right. It seems that I need to teach you how to capture a man's heart." Da Vinci smiled, hoping to help Esdeath increase Some love skills also help Eric ease his pain.
"Do you still have time to teach love? Haven't you been busy with experimental materials and battleship power design recently?" Eric finally swallowed everything in his mouth, and finally stopped talking "Uh-huh", he even It feels like the volume of the mouth has been expanded by the food that has been stuffed into it, and the size of the mouth has also been cracked.
"Don't worry, it won't affect the plan, and thanks to Chiron's help, oh, it's really thanks to the sage, it saved me a lot of trouble."
"Well, after seeing these advanced designs, I really feel like I am falling behind. Captain, don't worry, I will work hard to learn this new knowledge and build an excellent warship with Leonardo da Vinci."
"No, we worked hard to build it together!" Eric reiterated, and then raised his glass: "Cheers to our future ship!"
"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses and clinked their glasses with laughter.
…
"So, whose food is delicious?" As expected of a queen, she is very aggressive.
"... Cooked by Kuang San," Eric quickly explained: "It's not that the barbecue you made is not delicious, but that she has considered all aspects of her cooking, both in terms of taste and health issues, and it is better. The combination makes the food taste and texture better.”
"Ara, thank you for the compliment." Kuangsan raised his skirt, thanked Eric for his compliments, then turned to Esdeath and said, "Now you understand that the food I cooked is more delicious, right?"
"Sure enough, a guy with a pure smile can't lie," Esdeath showed a womanly expression again, and then said to Kurumi seriously: "I knew I lost when I ate the food you cooked. But don’t be complacent, the next victory will definitely belong to me!”
"I really don't want to give up, but it's okay. Without such an opponent, the fruits of victory will not be sweet. I will continue to defeat you in the future. I am Eric's other half!"
The red thunder and lightning bursting out of Tokisaki Kurumi's eyes met the blue lightning shooting out of Esdeath's eyes, "Bilibili", is this the "collision of overlord colors"?
…
Logbook: January 1, 1511, the first day of the New Year.
Eric was woken up by the system early in the morning:
[Ding...you have a new email]
[Monthly Task 5: Pirate Scavenger]
[Content: There is too much garbage on the sea. Please destroy at least three pirate groups with your companions within a month. There is no upper limit on the number of pirate groups that can be destroyed in this mission. The more pirate groups that are destroyed, the richer the rewards will be. Mission reward: total bounty amount for annihilated pirates x 3/achievement points (number of pirate groups annihilated) x points/bond points x points]
'Well, if you think about it this way, does it mean that if you catch a pirate, you can get four times the original bounty? '
The system did not respond.
Although this task is very suitable for all the liver emperors, it is very uncomfortable for Eric who has a bit of salty fish attribute. He wants to do it but is too lazy to move. Others have already filled hundreds of pools, but Eric only waited until the end of the event. Fifty pools of socks were saved.
During these six days, Eric, who had been sparring with Esdeath, was very injured. Esdeath was really helping him train to death, and he was really moving towards the goal of becoming the strongest in the world, becoming the world's strongest. Isn’t the strongest slogan just talk? How can you be serious? !
Only then did Eric realize that Chiron's training was really easy, but now that Chiron was studying the design of the battleship with Leonardo da Vinci, he had no time to help Eric train, so he could only ask Esdeath, who had nothing to do. .
"Eric, it's time to get up and train." A voice sounded like a reminder.
"Well, Esdeath, I just made a decision to tell everyone, please gather everyone together."
…
"I'm busy. If there's nothing important, sister, I can't spare you, Captain Brother-kun."
"Well, we have been here for more than ten days. It is estimated that some of our friends are a little intolerable to the cold of Winter Island, so I decided to lead a few friends to visit several surrounding islands within this month. This month Come back at the end of the month, no later than the 5th of the next month.”
"Oh, then you go ahead. I'll stay here to design and research warships." Leonardo da Vinci planned to design their new ship as soon as possible, and most scientists liked to work hard.
"I will stay here to protect and accompany Leonardo da Vinci to complete the design. Captain, please be careful outside." Chiron also made a decision.
"In addition, we don't have enough funds, so we may do some threatening work to earn money, so conflicts will break out with other pirates." Eric prepared to take precautions in advance.
"I hate it~ Then I'd better stay here." Bolqi, who originally wanted to go out for a walk, finally chose to stay.
"...I'll stay here too." Kulikai held a cigarette in his mouth, glanced at Eric, Tokisaki Kurumi and Esdeath, and decided to avoid the vortex.
"So, it's me, Chitong, Kurumi, and Esdeath who go to sea, while Da Vinci, Chiron, Kulikai, and Porchi stay behind?"
"Yeah." "I have no objection." "That's it."
Everyone responded.
"Then let's set off!" Leaving half of the funds behind, Eric and the four left Vegapunk's research institute and headed towards the boat docked by the ice.
