Chapter 38: Yu Lili Visits In Person And The Spirit Chef
After a Pokémon passes the Growth Stage, it means it has formally entered Normal Level, and it can even be considered mid-tier among Normal Level ones.
In fact, the strength of most Pokémon in the wilderness is Normal Level. Wanting to advance further is difficult, but the skills that wild Pokémon know are generally fewer than those nurtured by Trainers.
Lu Li planned to return to his old home in the afternoon and, by the way, call the Housekeeping Company to clean the yard at his old home. That yard had been uninhabited for about 10 years, so redecorating it later might take some time.
Feeling his phone vibrate in his pocket, Lu Li quickly took out his phone to check.
Looking at the name on the Caller ID, Lu Li answered the call: “Yu Lili? What’s up?”
“Didn’t you say you nurtured a really good Wailmer? I want to come to your house today to see the Wailmer.” Yu Lili’s voice came from the phone.
Lu Li asked: “So when are you planning to come over?”
“Before lunch.”
“Alright.”
After hanging up the phone, Lu Li opened the fridge and glanced at the ingredients inside, discovering that only a piece of meat was left in it.
Lu Li had no choice but to go to the nearby market to buy ingredients. With a guest coming over, he couldn’t just serve Roasted Meat, and only one piece at that.
After buying the groceries and returning, Lu Li checked the time on his phone and saw it was almost 12, so he hurried into the Kitchen to start cooking.
…………
“Knock knock knock…”
Hearing the knocking from outside the yard, Lu Li looked at the dishes on the table and silently gave himself a thumbs up in his mind. The timing was perfect.
After opening the yard gate, Lu Li saw Yu Lili and Jin Huang behind her.
Yu Lili curiously looked around the yard of Lu Li’s house, then praised: “Lu Li, I didn’t expect your family’s yard to be so unique.”
“Eh~”
Yu Lili noticed the two Berry Trees in the yard.
“Mago Berry and Razz Berry? These are all Berries used to manufacture Dazzling Cubes.”
As a Water Type Trainer, Yu Lili clearly knew her stuff, at least knowing Mago Berry and Razz Berry Trees.
Lu Li said in a flat tone, pretending to be profound: “I planted these specifically. Masterpiece Grade Mago Berries and Razz Berries are too hard to buy on the market, so I had to grow them myself.”
Jin Huang, who had just come in, explained: “Lu Li isn’t just a Breeder; he’s also a Grower. Moreover, my mom said his talent in Berry planting is no less than his talent as a Breeder.”
“As expected of you!”
After hearing this, Yu Lili gave Lu Li a thumbs up.
Because there were no Masterpiece Grade Mago Berries and Razz Berries on the market, he grew them at home himself, and the most outrageous part was that Lu Li actually succeeded.
As the Gym Leader’s Daughter, Yu Lili wasn’t some ignorant rich kid; she knew all too well the difficulty of nurturing Masterpiece Grade Berries.
If Masterpiece Grade Berries were really that easy to nurture, there wouldn’t be so few of them on the market.
There’s a saying in the Berry Market: Masterpiece Grade Berries never drop in price, meaning that as long as they are Masterpiece quality Berries, they always have buyers.
“Alright, we can talk about whatever later. You two probably haven’t had lunch yet, right? I’ve just finished making lunch.” Lu Li asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Yu Lili, feeling her stomach was indeed a bit hungry, nodded.
After being led into the Living Room by Lu Li, Yu Lili and Jin Huang saw the lavish lunch on the table.
“Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs, Fish-Flavored Pork Shreds, Shredded Potatoes, Kung Pao Chicken! Ah!! I love Kung Pao Chicken the most!” Yu Lili shouted excitedly upon seeing the Kung Pao Chicken on the table.
Jin Huang looked at the fussing Yu Lili and complained: “Relax, it’s just the three of us, so the Kung Pao Chicken is definitely all yours.”
Smelling the enticing aroma, Yu Lili couldn’t wait to pick up her Chopsticks and reach for the Kung Pao Chicken.
“Oh my god!!!”
“How can there be something this delicious in the world?”
Yu Lili exclaimed in a tone as if she was about to cry.
“Is it really that exaggerated?”
Jin Huang looked speechlessly at Yu Lili, who was nearly in tears.
He didn’t believe there was any Delicacy in the world that could make someone so delicious they wanted to cry.
Thinking this, the curious Jin Huang picked up his Chopsticks and clamped a piece of Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs.
“Hiss~”
After the Ribs entered his mouth, Jin Huang realized he had been careless.
It turned out there really were Delicacies in the world that could make someone so delicious they wanted to cry.
Lu Li watched this scene with a slight curl of his lips.
With the Cultivation Hundred Arts at his disposal, he could confidently say there was no chef in the world better than him.
Among the Cultivation Hundred Arts, the Spirit Chef was best at manufacturing various spirit foods, but many ingredients from the Cultivation World didn’t exist in This World, and Lu Li was too lazy to Pokémonfy his Spirit Chef skills.
So this Master Level Spirit Chef Lu Li only retained a Culinary Skill that could be called outrageous, and this Culinary Skill was only targeted at humans.
15 minutes.
In just 15 minutes, Lu Li successfully made Yu Lili’s belly swell.
Jin Huang also felt too embarrassed to compete with Yu Lili for the food, so most of the dishes on the table ended up in Yu Lili’s belly.
“Ah~”
“My belly is so full, it feels awful.” Yu Lili groaned.
Lu Li: “…”
Jin Huang complained enviously from the side: “Who told you to eat so much?”
If Yu Lili ate less, he could eat more. Jin Huang truly despised Yu Lili’s behavior of forcing herself to eat even when she couldn’t.
“If you were full, you should’ve stopped eating! Leaving me just a few bites would’ve been fine.” The frustrated Jin Huang was already considering whether to stay overnight at Lu Li’s house today.
Yu Lili sighed: “Lu Li, good thing you didn’t become a chef, or else how many people’s bellies would you have made swell?”
Lu Li rolled his eyes at Yu Lili and complained: “You think everyone is like you, so lacking in self-control? Aren’t you afraid of stuffing yourself to death?”
Looking at Yu Lili’s belly, which looked like she was six months pregnant, Lu Li was genuinely worried this unlucky child would stuff herself to death in his house.
Worried that something might happen to Yu Lili, Lu Li said: “Jin Huang, how about you go buy some Digestive Tablets for this one?”
Jin Huang nodded without hesitation. Yu Lili was someone he had brought, and if anything really happened, his Teacher definitely wouldn’t let him off.
Yu Lili pitifully pleaded: “Please, Little Jin.”
After Jin Huang left, Yu Lili sincerely praised: “You’re really amazing, you know.”
Toward Lu Li, her heart was actually quite conflicted.
Before coming, and even in the past few days, her Mother had been hinting through various means, hoping she could find a way to win over Lu Li.
Yu Lili, who was single-mindedly focused on becoming an excellent Trainer, naturally resented this, especially since she was only 16 this year and had no intention of dating.
Precisely because of this, Yu Lili had some resistance toward Lu Li in her heart.
But in less than half an hour after arriving here, Yu Lili’s mindset had undergone a complete reversal.
Yu Lili felt she might not be good enough for the Youth in front of her.
Not yet 16 years old, already an Intermediate Breeder, and also a Grower. At 16, he had single-handedly nurtured two Masterpiece Grade Berry Trees, and now he even cooked such good meals. Most importantly, he was so handsome.
Looking at herself, aside from having some Trainer talent and decent looks, the only thing she could bring out was perhaps her somewhat decent family background.
But as for being the Gym Leader’s Daughter…
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, this status was already incredibly noble, but in the eyes of those true Noble Families, a so-called Gym Leader was merely a starting point.
Not to mention the entire Asian Alliance, there were over 50 Gyms just in the Jiuzhou Region, so her status as the Gym Leader’s Daughter really wasn’t much.
