Cooking Relaxation 1

Chapter 88 Cooking to Relax

"Are you asking for leave?"

Joey held her phone, feeling somewhat incredulous.

"Yes, I plan to ask for a week, but the teacher said it would be difficult for her to approve such a long period, and suggested that I report it to the dean."

Zhu Suihan said, "I have some ideas about the commission from the Yulong family, but it will take some time. We may also need to set up a research site over at the Great Lake."

Qiao Yijing:

"I'm going to Yanmo City right now!"

Sure enough, my precious student was affected by that request!

If she didn't wreak havoc in the dragon's lair, Qiao Yijing felt it was hard to get over this.

"No, no, Dean, please calm down."

Zhu Suihan said, "I remembered something. Magikarp was indeed very strong in ancient times. At least in terms of strength, it was comparable to the starter Pokémon that the League had bred in large numbers."

"Oh?"

Qiao Yijing immediately calmed down. If this matter could help Zhu Suihan remember some things, the leave would definitely be approved, and she wouldn't need to go to Yanmo City.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, one scene in my memory is a Magikarp leaping out of the water and flying into the air, hitting Staraptor with a Water Gun and stealing its berries."

Wow, did such outrageous things really happen in ancient times?

In her memory, the only records of Magikarp being very strong were some ancient and exaggerated written accounts, which Zhu Suihan even remembered.

Just how old must this student of mine be?

Qiao Yijing shook her head: "Okay, I've approved the leave for you, but you need to take care to rest. Don't let yourself get depressed from digging into those fragmented things."

Zhu Suihan glanced at Chenglong and Xiaoxiannai, then smiled and agreed to Qiao Yijing's request.

"Don't worry, Dean. Even if I wanted to do that, my parents wouldn't allow it."

"Ugh!"

"Milu!"

The two little ones responded loudly, determined to give it their all.

That's right!

A trainer's health comes first!

We don't listen to those claims that humanoid Pokémon don't need to sleep!

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Suihan glanced at her class schedule. She had no classes this afternoon, which meant that she had already used all the tricks she used in her previous life to ask for leave.

Although I initially took leave so I could get more rest, this time I'm taking leave so I can focus wholeheartedly on my research.

"But it still feels outrageous."

If you invest without regard to cost, you can indeed make Magikarp stronger, so that after evolving into Gyarados, it can take another leap in the essence of life.

However, this only increases the breeding cost, rather than exploring the theoretical possibility of Magikarp existing.

Zhu Suihan originally wanted to re-enter that mental movie segment to collect some material, but the response he received was that he did not have enough research points.

If this is indeed a movie currently in theaters, then the later parts of the story will likely require payment to unlock, meaning a higher number of research points will be needed.

For example, the form of Magikarp evolving into Gyarados, or the daily training content of that ruthless bandit.

"Regardless of what kind of daily training it is, the problem must be with his/her body."

The infusion of emotional energy gave the ancient Magikarp even greater power.

Zhu Suihan subconsciously shook his head, because it didn't seem like it.

At least back in the era of the Green Panda, Magikarp was already considered weak. However, since most people's first impression of Pokémon was fear, there was not much research direction for it.

Emotional energy, also known as the "bond power" in the Pokémon world, is something that simply couldn't exist in the ancient, primitive era; there were no fundamental conditions for it.

Leaving aside the "Creation Era" when legendary Pokémon roamed freely, let's not even mention the Dark Ages, an era of forced control over Pokémon and the initiation of various "War of the Monsters."

They might be interested in Gyarados, but they'll only be catching Gyarados; they won't have any ulterior motives towards Magikarp.

Putting aside other factors, even if they understood the evolutionary relationship between the two, they wouldn't invest the resources because it would be too slow to see results.

Putting everything else aside, isn't a monster like Beedrill, which grows rapidly and has decent combat power, appealing?

The various "monsters" that could fly, breathe fire, generate electricity, and drop bombs were the prototypes of the wild air force of that era.

Magikarp is so bad that even as a decorative monster, it takes up too much space.

In the time it takes to nurture them, the opposing Warcraft army could easily destroy your crystal.

"The problem lies in the body, but as of now, I don't know what exactly happened to Magikarp in the ancient era."

Based on his memory, Zhu Suihan used computer software to draw some of the more memorable scenes.

Chenglong and Xiaoxiannai glanced at each other and immediately became worried.

The trainer's drawing skills are hard to assess, but he has the potential to become an abstract artist and a future master.

If it weren't for Zhu Suihan's earnest effort in sorting and categorizing the drawn patterns and writing different labels on each picture, they would have suspected that the trainer had gone insane.

“Wuwu!”

Alright, stop what you're doing, it's nap time!

Chenglong used its Freeze Ray to create an ice layer under Zhu Suihan's chair, then used its head to push him out of the chair.

The little fairy standing at the door opened the door with perfect coordination; it can only be said that the effect of this sisterhood working together was indeed quite good.

Bamboo Suihan:

It feels like sitting in a wheelchair, but Lapras's control over the freezing ray is getting stronger and stronger, which is a great improvement.

In the future, we might even be able to use the Freeze Ray to shoot a shower of snowflakes into the sky, and then have our partners or helpers unleash a tornado-like storm to create a one-time snowstorm with increased intensity.

"Milu~, Milu~"

Little Fairy Milk flew onto Zhu Suihan's head and knitted a temporary little nest for herself with the seriousness of knitting a sweater. Then she snuggled in comfortably, and her breathing quickly became even and steady.

"Waaah."

Chenglong comfortably ran into his pool, and with Zhu Suihan continuously adding various attribute resources according to Chenglong's physical condition, the quality of the water in this pool was quite high.

To put it another way, if the wild Pokémon in the academy hadn't known that this was personal property, they might have come over for a drink.

"I'll take a nap, but even when I'm sleeping, I feel like I'm still curled up."

I should just close my eyes and rest; having that Three Kingdoms battle in my head is really taking a toll on my mental energy.

He knew the correct answer, but he didn't know the solution process or anything else.

If this were an exam, and you only wrote one answer on the paper, a strict teacher probably wouldn't even give you any points.

It has now been determined that the problem needs to be addressed from a physical perspective. It seems that not only Magikarp needs to be brought in, but even Gyarados will need to be asked to cooperate with the research.

Well, just give the Energy Cube made primarily of Candle Berry to Gyarados, and don't even charge him for the Water Gem; consider it payment for helping with the research.

Do something to change your mood.

A gentle breeze blew, the warm sun shone, and the little fairy on her head and body exuded a pleasant sweet fragrance, which gradually relaxed Zhu Suihan's mood.

I'm getting tired of eating at the cafeteria. How about I cook a meal myself?

In his past life, Zhu Suihan was very impressed by what a friend had said. He said that when he was in school, he would occasionally get together with his classmates to cook and play.

Or rather, what they call cooking entertainment is completely different from what Zhu Suihan did day after day back then.

"This is it. I hope it doesn't turn into any weird or disastrous dishes."

After nap time, Zhu Suihan opened her eyes and took Chenglong and Xiaoxiannai to the supermarket run by the academy.

Aside from the lack of sales assistants, it's not much different from other supermarkets. You can use your campus card for self-checkout, which is quite convenient.

"Slowpoke tail meat, premium leek bred from Farfetch'd, shrimp claw meat, crab claw meat, premium oil extracted from Snorlax's secretions, and coconut juice from Exeggutor."

It's a pity that the supermarket didn't have any Alola region specialties on sale, otherwise I could have gotten some sweet bamboo juice to drink.

"Oh right, we can't forget this."

The eggs in Happy Egg are packed with nutritional value.

Zhu Suihan pushed the cart, with Chenglong following behind. Chenglong would occasionally look at the surrounding goods, and if there was anything he liked, he would signal to the trainer for help.

Little Fairy Milk, on the other hand, scanned the numerous foods with an attitude of "I, the emperor, look down on everything."

My cream flavor is unparalleled in the world; you are nothing but ants beneath me!

"Alright, that's about it."

Zhu Suihan swiped her card to pay, put all the items into the incense burner, and took the two little ones back to the dormitory.

"Huh?"

"Let's cook. Today we'll cook for ourselves and have noodles."

Zhu Suihan rolled up his sleeves and started kneading dough with the eggs he had bought and flour, adding some ground tree fruit spices during the process.

Ramen?

Forget it, I don't have the skills. I'll just make it the simplest kind.

Setting the dough aside, Zhu Suihan took out the Water Gem and scales given to him by Gyarados.

"Riding the dragon, water gun."

"Ugh!"

A water gun washed away the dirt on the gemstone and scales, then it was thrown into an incense burner to extract energy. Combined with scallions, coconut milk, and oil, it was made into an energy cube.

To be precise, this should be a spice block.

Place the tree fruits that enhance the flavor and the algae root fruit sauce that elevates the taste into a pot, then pour in high-quality water and bring to a boil over high heat.

After putting the prepared spice blocks into the spice bag, Zhu Suihan thought for a moment and began to make the topping with tree fruits and various meats he had bought.

"I bought enough ingredients, and I can make all kinds of flavors. You can adjust the flavors to your liking."

It has everything: fresh, fragrant, spicy, and sour. And you don't have to worry about not being able to finish it. Anyway, you only have to worry about whether there is enough food at home, not about wasting it.

"Huh?"

Why isn't it sweet?

Zhu Suihan shook his head: "The sweet one is made with pork tail meat and sweet and sour tree fruit. I think you would like that flavor."

Chenglong wanted the kind of sweetness found in milk tea cakes, something he had never actually experienced before.

Regular sweet dragon beard noodles might not satisfy Chenglong, who has an extremely sweet tooth.

Zhu Suihan took the steaming tray out of the oven.

"Don't worry, there will be dessert before the meal."

The tree fruit pie has a rich sweetness that is fully infused into its crispy crust.

The first bite brings a crunchy sensation, followed by the rich aroma of the fruit and the soft bread, creating an extra layer of enjoyment.

Bamboo Cold also contains some flower extracts from Miss Skirt, leaving a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth after eating, as if you are in a fragrant orchard, with every breath filled with rich aroma.

Chenglong ate the tree fruit pie gracefully, bite by bite, while Zhu Suihan cut a piece into small portions and placed them in front of Xiaoxiannai, watching the little guy eat heartily.

Actually, given the structure of Xiaoxiannai's body, it wouldn't be impossible for her to swallow it whole, but the Dessert Emperor felt that would be unseemly.

And this was cut by the trainer!
