Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating



81 Astonishing Culinary Skills

“You guys stop what you’re doing for a moment. Come here, all of you.”

Lu Yu looked at everyone and said.

Song Yu, Qin Yong, and the others, who were cleaning up the battlefield and packing their stuff, came over to Lu Yu’s side.

“Captain Lu, what can we do for you?” Qin Yong asked Lu Yu with an inquiring look.

The others also looked at Lu Yu with deferential expressions.

Lu Yu nodded with approval in his heart. Although Qin Yong and the others had not helped much in this mission,

in terms of loyalty, they were still trustworthy.

Previously, when they faced the eight powerful experts of the four dojos, even in the face of death, none of them compromised. Not a single one betrayed Lu Yu.

Just this point alone was sufficient to earn his trust.

Although they weren’t strong enough, that was only when compared to Lu Yu himself.

In fact, Qin Yong and most of the others were Martial Masters. They were not considered weak in Lunan City and were already ranked above average.

That being the case, Lu Yu planned to nurture them well and groom them into his trusted aides.

In terms of strength, it might be very difficult for other mentors to elevate their powers and give them any help.

However, it wasn’t difficult for Lu Yu.

With his Gluttony Talent, other than being able to absorb a large amount of strength and health vitality from precious ingredients and advancing his own cultivation level easily,

the food that Lu Yu cooked could also be absorbed by ordinary people, enabling them to easily elevate their abilities.

As for Song Yu, she was naturally very trustworthy.

After learning that Lu Yu was in danger, she rushed over from Lunan City overnight with complete disregard to the risks involved.

Lu Yu saw this act of friendship and remembered it well in his heart.

The remaining mammoth meat, marinated in rock salt and rhinoceros butter fat and stewed in spring water, was a good choice for them to eat in order to increase their strength and develop their skills.

Lu Yu pointed at the remaining marinated mammoth meat stewed in spring water in the pot and said, “You guys should eat this meat quickly. Eat it while it’s hot. Once it turns cold, not only will the taste deteriorate, the nutrition may also be lost.”

Song Yu, Qin Yong, and the others were caught by surprise for a moment, but in the next moment, joy filled their faces.

Previously, they had been yearning for this delicious mammoth meat, but as this was the meat of a Fearsome Beast cooked by Lu Yu, it was naturally not appropriate for them to ask for it.

Furthermore, this was the meat of an A-class Fearsome Beast Mammoth. They did not have the ability to absorb its nutrients. They could not eat it directly like Lu Yu, so even if they ate it, they couldn’t absorb the nutrients, or worse it might harm their bodies.

“Captain Lu, can we really eat this mammoth meat?” Qin Yong asked in disbelief.

After all, this was an A-class Fearsome Beast meat, and it was incredibly precious.

Song Yu looked at Lu Yu worriedly and asked, “Are we able to absorb this A-class Fearsome Beast meat? Will there be any problems after eating it?”

The others also looked at Lu Yu with some doubt and worry. After all, they weren’t Lu Yu and didn’t have the ability to absorb such high-level Fearsome Beast meat.

However, Lu Yu waved his hand and said indifferently, “Just eat when I tell you to. Go ahead, don’t worry. There won’t be any problems.”

Although Lu Yu didn’t explain, everyone was somewhat relieved when they heard his words. They did trust him after all.

Immediately afterwards, everyone went forward and helped themselves to the mammoth meat, marinated in rock salt and rhinoceros butter fat and stewed in spring water.

Earlier, when Lu Yu was cooking it, the appetizing aroma had already made everyone look forward to it.

After the battle just now, everyone had expended a lot of energy. At this moment, they were absolutely famished.

Even though Qin Yong and the others were extremely hungry and wished they could pounce on the delicious mammoth meat at once, they still stood aside and waited for Song Yu and Chu Shiyu, the two ladies to eat first.

Both Song Yu and Chu Shiyu were women, and their ranks were far above theirs. On top of that, their statuses were noble, so naturally they should go first.

Song Yu noticed their response and smiled. “You guys are too polite. Come up and help me get some food, then we’ll eat together.”

Qin Yong and the others were very surprised when they heard that. They didn’t expect Song Yu to look upon them as equals. They felt very flattered and immediately went forward to help prepare the food.

When she saw how everyone appeared a little reserved, Song Yu couldn’t help teasing them. “We’re all in the military forces, and you guys are all so heroic on the battlefield. Yet why are you so nervous when eating with your superior?”

When Qin Yong and the others heard this, their expressions turned awkward.

Seeing this, Song Yu stopped teasing them.

After serving in the military forces for so many years, Song Yu no longer had the airs of the powerful Song family’s eldest daughter. She had long treated any soldier in the battalion as her companion.

Song Yu also understood very well that though these soldiers might not hold high positions, they also did their part in the war. For the city and the Federation, they shed their blood and even sacrificed their lives. No matter how low their abilities were, even if they were just ordinary soldiers, they were still worthy of respect.

At this moment, when Qin Yong and the others saw that the two beauties, Song Yu and Chu Shiyu, who held such high positions and had statuses that far exceeded theirs, did not mind dining with them, they all felt somewhat touched inwardly.

Song Yu was the first to eat. As the first bite of mammoth meat entered her mouth, it melted instantly. It was extremely delicious and she felt good all over her entire body.

“Wow, this is too delicious. I’ve never eaten such delicious mammoth meat!” Song Yu exclaimed.

As the eldest daughter of the influential Song family, she had eaten countless delicacies since she was young. However, she had never eaten such delicious Fearsome Beast meat.

She had even tasted food done in the Sky Valley Culinary Methods.

However, for some reason, the Fearsome Beast meat cooked by the Song family using the Sky Valley Culinary Methods somehow seemed to be on a completely different level from the version cooked by Lu Yu.

Song Yu could only attribute this to the fact that Lu Yu had used the meat of an A-class Fearsome Beast Mammoth and had used so many rare seasonings. In addition, Lu Yu’s cooking technique was more meticulous, which was why it had such a good effect.

What Song Yu didn’t know was that all of this was mainly thanks to Lu Yu’s Gluttony Talent.

Apart from being able to better absorb the strength and health vitality in delicious food, Gluttony Talent also gave additional benefits when cooking delicacies.

The Fearsome Beast meat cooked by Lu Yu would be much more delicious despite using the same method and ingredients.

Most importantly, the Fearsome Beast meat cooked by Lu Yu allowed even ordinary people to absorb a certain amount of its nutrients and increase their strength to a certain extent.

When the others heard Song Yu’s exclamation, their anticipation for the mammoth meat was heightened even more and they hurriedly gobbled it down.

Song Yu scooped a bowl of the meat and handed it to Chu Shiyu, who was still weak.

Chu Shiyu had already been seriously injured earlier. Although she was fine now, she was still extremely weak and found it difficult to even stand up.

After Chu Shiyu took the mammoth meat and took a bite, she looked at Lu Yu in surprise.

“Lu Yu, your cooking technique is quite impressive. It’s actually so delicious. The top chefs I’ve come into contact with before can’t compare to you!” Chu Shiyu praised in surprise.

Song Yu nodded with a smile. “I told you, right? It’s indeed extremely delicious. Lu Yu’s culinary skills are quite astonishing.”
