Chapter 228 What purpose
All in all, everyone's introduction is finally over, and the nine people, the nine original fusion warriors, have completed a simple understanding.
“It’s almost time, let’s start the next step~?”
As Alicia's words fell, the room suddenly became dark, and the electric light was on, but its light was restricted to a small space by unknown means, completely unable to Light up the whole room.
Ah... such a familiar scene change.
Li's bad memories were brought back again, and his eyes turned to a place in the darkness, where he could clearly see a figure slowly rising from the ground in a pose.
The next moment, the room lit up again, and what appeared in front of everyone was the greatest magician of this century and the genius engineer in the Fire Chaser Moth, Velvet!
Although she put on a funny clown mask, it was just a cover-up. People who knew her could still tell who she was.
"Ah……"
Mebius sneered, obviously she didn't particularly like Velvet.
The expressions of the other people didn't change much. Only Destobia blinked, showing an obviously surprised expression.
"...Why did you call her here too? Isn't this a gathering of our nine fusion warriors?"
Li asked Alicia in a low voice.
But before Alicia could answer, Velvet on the stage spoke up first.
"No need to bother the noble Ms. Alicia, let me answer this guest's doubts~"
Velvet took off her top hat, bowed to all nine people in a standard manner, and then snapped her fingers, followed by the sound of gears turning.
Under everyone's gaze, the floor where the table in the center was sank, slowly, slowly... and soon there was only a rectangular hole left.
Click————!
The gear stalled, but soon began to rotate again, but this time it was controlling the floor in front of it to rise, and it brought up not only the previous table, but also enough nine pieces of equipment placed on it. A table of delicious food for personal consumption.
"How can a party be without the presence of a chef? Enjoy it and enjoy this perfect meal brought to you by the world's number one chef!"
Velvet opened her arms, her words unmistakable.
"I see, it's dinner time... But aren't you the world's number one magician and engineer? Why did you become a chef again today?" Li complained.
"I'm a genius! Isn't it easy for a genius to master multiple skills?"
"Where's the chef qualification certificate?"
"Of course, it's just in the future~"
"Then it's better to go out to eat..."
Hearing Li's words, Velvet moved her mask to the side, revealing a small part of her face with a squinting smile, "This guest, are you questioning my cooking skills? Please rest assured that after the hands of this genius, For everything, their ultimate value will definitely exceed your expectations~ Why don’t you try it?”
"..."
Li looked at the bowls and chopsticks that appeared in front of him but didn't know when, and didn't move.
Alicia picked up a piece of meat to show her dignity. She seemed very confident in Velvet.
"Li, open your mouth, ah~?"
"...I thought you were eating it yourself."
Li said speechlessly as she looked at Alicia's piece of meat held to her mouth.
"Of course the best thing is to be shared with you first~" As she said that, Alicia moved the meat closer to her.
You definitely want to use me as a guinea pig, right? !
Li didn't want to pay attention to her and turned around, only to find that Mebius also picked up a piece of meat and put it in front of his eyes to examine it.
"...Do you want to eat, Mebius?"
Although he felt relieved, Li still pretended to be concerned.
"..."
Mebius glanced at him and thrust the piece of meat into Li's mouth expressionlessly.
You? !
Unprepared, Li could only watch the piece of meat enter her mouth.
I chewed it mechanically, and the taste... seemed pretty good?
"It seems like the young man has recognized me?"
She clearly saw the whole process of Li's expression change, and Velvet looked even more proud.
"Well, you do have two brushes."
Li swallowed the meat in her mouth and admitted her ability generously.
"Really? Velvet is just so powerful~?"
Alicia also smiled proudly, but Li no longer believed her nonsense.
Jianli was forced to try the poison, and the others started to use their chopsticks. Everyone here, except Destobia, knew more or less what Velvet was like.
But it has to be said that Velvet's cooking skills are unexpectedly good, and every fusion warrior can find dishes that suit their taste during the tasting process. From this point of view, Alicia regards Velvi as It was indeed a good decision to call the chef.
But... is Velvet's purpose really that simple? This guy usually has a lot of thoughts...
Thinking of this, Li stopped holding the chopsticks in her hand.
"Young man, why don't you eat?"
Velvet quickly spoke out at the moment when Li's movements stopped, was this guy looking at him?
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about Velvet's purpose in asking Alicia for help."
Li asked in a low voice. Except for Mebius and Alicia beside him, no one else heard his words.
"Huh? Why do you think so, young man?"
"Because even Alicia just found out that you can cook just now, otherwise I wouldn't be the first to test poison." At this point, Li glared at Alicia, but she was facing Li His eyes were unflinching, showing no sign of repentance.
"Miss Alicia's money is tight after buying a house, so it's normal to treat a dead horse as a living doctor and ask close friends to help cook a meal or something, isn't it?" An explanation is given.
"Then Alicia is also looking for Eden. She is a rich woman. A simple thing like asking for a meal is not worth mentioning to her. This is more reliable than asking you for help... Oh, by the way, you should know her. Is it from Eden?”
"Of course I do. I also share part of the financial support she gave to the Fire Chaser." Velvet nodded.
"and……"
Li glanced at all the fusion warriors, "For Alicia, this seemingly ordinary gathering initiated by her in our eyes is probably quite important, right? She is not like what you said." If you hadn't taken the initiative to come to our door, we would probably have eaten out now."
