"Although there are many missing ingredients in the Matrix, thanks to the diverse species, especially various genetically modified organisms with multiple life-form characteristics, I found many substitute ingredients and carefully crafted these twelve Dragon Country delicacies."
"For example, this boiled pork slices dish, since the Matrix doesn’t have regular pork, I used the neck at of the Diamond Level creature ’Silverback Longtusk Pig’ as a substitute, which tastes several tis better than regular boiled pork slices!"
"Take this Lenz Bean Curd, for instance. I used the Gold Level genetic ability developnt artifact ’Burning Blaze Fruit’ to create it, making it look exactly like tofu but with an added burning sensation, making your heart and lungs feel like they’re on fire, extrely satisfying. However, because it’s made into a dish, it loses the ability to develop genetic abilities."
"And for instance, this dish..."
Li Zheng pointed to the exquisite dishes in front of him, introducing them one by one but did not display the dishes’ attributes directly, keeping them intrigued.
Twelve dishes, introduced over twenty minutes, made all the auction participants swallow their saliva, fervently wishing to taste these dishes right away.
Only two people were not focused on these auction items.
One was Tanaka Junichiro, who had just obtained the genetic potion and imdiately handed it to the High Celestial Plain’s special player responsible for researching various artifacts, hoping to decipher the formula.
At this mont, he listened absentmindedly to the introduction while keeping an eye on the research group’s information.
"We’ve never managed to get a formula for Gold Level and above concentrated enhancent liquid. If we could extract a formula from these genetic potions, perhaps we could use it as a substitute and continue enhancent afterward."
It’s not just the Gold Level.
As long as this extraction is successful, even Platinum Level, or even Star Shining Level, samples can be obtained from Li Zheng for research!
At that ti, the High Celestial Plain could even snatch a portion of the potion business from Li Zheng.
Thinking of this, Tanaka Junichiro licked his lips involuntarily, a light of excitent in his eyes.
The other was Liu Qi, who frustratingly lost the potion.
The potion that was already in hand suddenly disappeared, leaving him unsettled, a knot in his heart that he just couldn’t manage.
It’s like taking fifty thousand cash out for shopping with your girlfriend. Your girlfriend fancies a certain bag, and just when you’re about to pay, soone else steps in, asks the clerk to engrave a na on the bag, pays a bit more, and takes it away.
Though he didn’t technically lose anything, losing face in front of his girlfriend was worse than losing money!
"Officer, we’ve found out that Tanaka Junichiro is currently in Channel 26, with combat power ranking only in the teens, and can be easily dealt with. Should we..." The adjutant reported from behind Liu Qi.
Their whereabouts are known, and dealing with Tanaka Junichiro isn’t difficult either.
Sending a squad of warriors over could easily make him cry for his father and mother.
But is it really worth it to fall out with High Celestial Plain over a batch of potions?
After much hesitation, Liu Qi finally shook his head, "Forget it, for now, leave it. Kunlun’s current task is not to provoke external enemies but to develop itself, there’s no need to make extra trouble."
This sentence was addressed to both the adjutant and himself.
Kunlun has many people, and high-level combat power is not lacking either.
But that was built by squeezing the interests of other warriors.
Ordinary warriors, though not weak compared to so players, find it hard to gain an advantage in clashes with other organizations.
Falling out with the High Celestial Plain would do more harm than good.
"Hmm?"
Liu Qi suddenly changed his expression, waved for the adjutant to step back, and opened the private ssage to check.
After reading, Liu Qi smiled with satisfaction, a smile of relief, of delight, of joy.
"Li Zheng, oh Li Zheng, I underestimated you."
Shaking his head, Liu Qi sent a ssage back, and finally could focus on the auction, carefully listening to Li Zheng’s presentation of the auction items.
Li Zheng had just finished introducing all twelve dishes and secretly received a few private ssages. After reading without showing any emotion, he continued, "This set of dishes, besides being extrely delicious, also has extraordinary effects."
"Depending on the dish’s tier, type, and ingredients, each dish can provide a two-hour lasting buff enhancent for the consur!"
"The buff strength is determined by the dish’s tier, it’s absolutely a must-have for daily explorations and activity challenges!"
As he spoke, Li Zheng lifted the attribute restrictions, allowing everyone to view the buff types and strengths each dish could add.
"What a powerful effect!" Liu Qi couldn’t help but widen his eyes when he checked the dish attributes.
No wonder Li Zheng’s team could lead all the way in activities, racking up so many kill points.
Turns out they had such a powerful buff backing them up!
A Diamond Level dish could increase a particular physique attribute by twenty percent!
What does that an?
It’s like a boxer with three thousand pounds of punching power, after eating the muscle-strengthening dish, can casually punch with four thousand two hundred pounds of force!
And it would only be higher, not lower than that number!
At this mont, Liu Qi suddenly realized that instead of chasing the minor winning rewards of this activity, he should build a good relationship with Li Zheng and establish trading channels.
With Li Zheng as a backing, why would the warriors of Kunlun worry about not being able to advance by leaps and bounds in strength?
Why would they care about trivial Extraordinary Artifacts then?
"So what’s the starting price?" Tang Qianzang asked before Liu Qi could.
"Yeah, what’s the starting bid? What materials are needed?" Soone in the barrage also asked impatiently.
Twelve dishes, even without buff enhancents, there are those willing to spend big just for the novelty.
Right now, apart from forr chefs crafting so dishes, most others are still in a "raw diet" state.
After all, not everyone can cook, and not everyone is willing to spend resources on diocre dishes.
The twelve dishes presented by Li Zheng, whether in appearance or quality, surpassed even those crafted by renowned chefs from well-known establishnts.
Not to ntion the powerful buff enhancents, purchasing them would never be a loss.
"Starting price..." Li Zheng paused. Pricing these dishes was indeed difficult since he couldn’t expect them to trade with materials many tis the cost of cooking them, right?
These aren’t like flying devices and genetic potions; apart from certain special artifacts, the materials are quite common.
Li Zheng checked his inventory and found that he had little of the special tals that were Gold Level and above, so he ca up with an idea, "Starting bid at ten thousand grams of Orichalcos, with each incrent no less than two thousand grams!"
A starting bid of ten thousand grams of Orichalcos is not high, and it’s actually quite reasonable.
Bear in mind, among these twelve dishes, there are three Diamond Level, six Platinum Level, and three Gold Level dishes.
The value of the six Platinum Level dishes alone far exceeds that price.
Imdiately, the bid barrage was like a hail of bullets, crazily scrolling, dazzling to behold.
In less than twenty seconds, the highest bid had been shouted up to fifty thousand grams!
The one who placed this bid was, once again, Tanaka Junichiro.
At this mont, a faint, indiscernible smile seed to appear on Li Zheng’s lips.
He secretly sent out a private ssage, "Begin."
