Chapter 102 The Unreliable Academician and the Contrasting Kyle

Lin Mo felt that he shouldn't have come all this way!

Now, should we just pretend we didn't see it?

This is so funny, what should we do?

No, I have to hold it in!

Why are Academician Qian and Academician Liu, who are both unreliable, getting worse as they get older?

Not only did they skip the experiment, but they also took them to eat at the construction site?

How could they even think of that!

No, I still really want to laugh, what should I do?

In that instant, Lin Mo thought of many things, but he silently pinched his thigh hard to endure it.

But things have come to this point, and there's no other way but to continue like this. He said:

"Ahem, we haven't been hospitable enough."

"We just arrived, so the conditions are a bit basic. I hope you don't mind."

"I haven't eaten yet either, let's eat together."

After saying that, Lin Mo went to the mess hall and took a plate. The excited soldiers filled the plate to the brim for him.

"Make way!" He squatted down between Qian Zhenhua and Elder Muyu, deliberately pushing aside the unreliable Qian Zhenhua, and smiled at everyone, raising his beer.

"Let's celebrate our partial victory! Cheers!"

With Lin Mo, who understands the common language, the atmosphere immediately became lively.

This time, with Elder Muyu as an example, everyone learned to try small bites.

After a refreshing sip of beer, the eyes of the Holy Humans and Elves lit up instantly.

This refreshing wheat beer, combined with the unique sensation of bubbles expanding in your mouth and stomach, is simply unbeatable!

Delicious!

I love it!

Everyone gulped down a few more mouthfuls.

"belch--"

Several long burps came out, the loudest of which was Kyle's, and his face turned red.

"Hahahaha!" Elder Muyu laughed heartily, whether intentionally seeking revenge for what had just happened was unknown.

With him taking the lead, everyone laughed, and the atmosphere reached a new level.

"Come on, try some of our Great Xia cuisine and see if it suits your taste," Lin Mo said, putting down his beer.

"This is called braised pork, it's made from..."

As Kyle listened to the explanation, he used a spoon—the only utensil the cooks could find that suited their habits—to scoop up a trembling piece of braised pork.

The meat chunks were a bright red color, and the sauce was thick.

He put it in his mouth.

A complex blend of salty, sweet, and savory flavors explodes on the taste buds.

The fatty meat melts in your mouth without being greasy, the lean meat is tender and not dry, and the skin is sticky and chewy with a gelatinous texture.

Kyle stopped chewing.

He closed his eyes, his brows relaxed, and an almost pious expression appeared on his face.

"Oh, God of Holy Light... This is wonderful."

This is a complete game-changer compared to their previous stewed or roasted meat!

He opened his eyes, forked a large piece of rice, mixed it with meat gravy, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The knights beside them could no longer contain themselves and buried themselves in their work.

A knight was so stimulated by the spiciness of Mapo Tofu that he broke out in a sweat and hissed loudly, but he just couldn't stop eating it.

Instead, he shoveled rice into his mouth, trying to use the sweetness of the rice to suppress the strange pleasure of the numbing and spicy sensation.

Another knight ate too quickly, and a piece of braised pork sauce splashed onto his gleaming gold breastplate without him noticing.

He simply wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and continued to eat the spicy chicken pieces on the plate.

"This is so delicious!" someone exclaimed.

The elves, meanwhile, were busy with the few plates of vegetarian dishes.

Elder Muyu picked up a mouthful of hot and sour shredded potatoes with his chopsticks.

Sour, spicy, crunchy, and refreshing.

This unassuming vegetable was able to produce such a wonderful taste, which immediately won him his favor.

I'm used to eating only fresh or sweet natural flavors, but I've never tasted anything like this before. It feels like opening up a whole new world.

He took another bite of the Three Treasures of the Earth. The eggplant was soft and tender, soaking up the soup, the green peppers were crisp, and the potatoes had a slightly charred exterior and a soft interior.

Elder Muyu's eating speed was no slower than Kyle's.

He had lived for over a thousand years and never imagined that vegetables could be eaten this way.

Moreover, the flavor is quite unique. I noticed that several kinds of powdered spices were added during the cooking process, which is probably the reason.

Lin Mo and the others smiled with satisfaction as they watched the reactions of the visitors from another world.

"How is it? How does it taste?" Lin Mo asked.

Kyle's mouth was full of food, and he pointed indistinctly at the braised pork.

"This tastes really good, what's it called again?"

Qian Zhenhua didn't understand the words, but he understood the other person's expression and thought they were saying it was delicious, so he smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"Is it delicious? I like it too!"

Kyle glanced at his thumb, slightly puzzled.

"Called 'Thumb Fatty'? What a strange name!"

He gave a thumbs-up to indicate that he remembered, and then ate as much rice as he could elegantly.

Kyle knew all too well how much his knights could eat.

If we don't eat quickly, there won't be any left in the pot.

Lin Mo: "......."

Alright, that's all for now.

........

Blue Star, Arctic, New Capital.

The air in the underground office building was cool and fresh, but it still couldn't dispel the lingering smoke in Conference Room One.

Five leaders were among them, their brows furrowed, the atmosphere tense.

Normally, each leader has their own area to attend to, or they need to discuss very important matters, so they don't usually get together.

At this moment, they have been waiting here for more than five hours because of a message.

Because they received news from Project New Hope that the portal was opening, but it was discovered by the demons, who are now attacking the portal.

The elven army was vastly outmatched by the demon army, and the situation was extremely critical.

In this situation, the five leaders had no time to deal with government affairs and could only gather together to share their anxieties.

Silently awaiting news from the front.

They tried to ask for the latest information more than once, but their requests were suppressed.

There are only two possible outcomes: either the demon army succeeds and destroys the portal, rendering all efforts futile.

Either the portal is successfully opened, allowing the elven army to repel the demon army and establish a foothold.

Based on the information they have received, the 100,000-strong demon army has a greater chance of winning, which is why they are so anxious.

"Number Two, can you sit still? You're making me dizzy," said the Third Leader impatiently, stubbing out his cigarette.

"Sizzle!" Number Two pulled out a chair and plopped down, letting out a breath of stale air.

"Buzz!" The chief's secure machine vibrated on the table, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to him.

The chief immediately picked it up, and it turned out to be a proposal from the United States for joint lunar development and the sharing of space technology, sent by his secretary.

After reading it, he said irritably:

"Keep dreaming!"

"What?" Number Four asked curiously.

The top leader placed the secure device on the table and slid it across. Number Four picked it up and looked at it.

"Pah! What bad luck!"

Just as Number Two was about to take a look, a rapid knocking sounded at the door.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Come in!"

The secretary rushed in, standing ramrod straight, her voice trembling with excitement.

"Report! Message of 'New Hope' has arrived! Encrypted data packet being received!"
