Bam!
Enzo Rota smacked down a second metal box the size of a fist. His eyes flickered with the sheer glow of confidence.
“This… this is also your…”
Bam… bam… bam…
Enzo Rota was someone who didn’t really like to show off. It was just that he had heard the contemptuous meaning behind Cook’s words. And this contemptuousness was looking lightly on Qin Fen’s foresight.
While Enzo Rota was a very prideful person, he was someone who was cold on the outside but passionate on the inside. To have his own friend be looked lightly upon, even if this was done in kindness, this was something that Enzo Rota couldn’t endure. Pieces after pieces of pharmaceutical works were spread over the table like the falling of rain.
“All right! Okay already! There’s no need to take out anymore!” Cook waved his hand. “I wasn’t as strong as you when I was your age. I thought you were being a bit arrogant when you said three months, but you really are qualified to say these words.”
It was only this that satisfied Enzo Rota. He stopped taking out his works of art.
Cook had a faint smile as he looked over the various works on the table. “Clever and wonderful thoughts and ideas. You really are gifted. Your fundamentals are also very sturdy. You are a genius in pharmaceuticals! Within the young generation, perhaps there’s only the rumored pharmaceutical genius called Enzo Rota that could be a match for you.”
Qin Fen became much more delighted than before when he heard such an assessment. “Drill instructor, how do you know that the Enzo Rota you speak of can be an assured match for my good friend? The rumors must be exaggerated.”
“That is impossible.” Cook waved his hand very decisively. “Even though I’ve never met the kid, I have seen one of his prescriptions. Though the work is a bit young and tender, it is absolutely in the style of the genius.”
“Drill instructor… this is…” Qin Fen sat by Enzo Rota’s side and said, “Let me give you a detailed introduction of my friend here. His name is Enzo Rota. He is a good friend of mine from high school…”
“Enzo… Enzo Rota? You’re none other than Enzo Rota? You’re that genius who countless idiotic experts think highly of?” There was a bit of agony within Cook’s smile. “I never thought that those idiots would have moments of good taste.”
“Not bad, not bad!” Cook studied Enzo Rota from top to bottom. “Kid, you just gave me a fright. You must be quite proud of yourself right now, right? Since you want to learn from me, then I will nevertheless need to have you be a bit more well behaved…”
Cook rapped the ring on his ring finger, and a pill came tumbling out.
Enzo Rota picked it up. He merely sniffed it with his nose for a moment, and his grave and stern face turned stiff. His eyes were filled with endless shock.
“You can taste it if you want…” Cook’s smile was very confident. “Perhaps you can discover some things with it.”
His expression darkened as he placed the pill in his hand back on the table. He didn’t go tasting the pill, instead, he simply gave Lin Liqiang a call.
“Old Enz, did you make your trip for nothing or something?”
“Asking for one more month.”
“What?”
“Further extension will probably be needed.”
“Then congratulations!” Lin Liqiang’s voice was filled with joy. He said, “Congratulations! Congratulations! Those who reach our level find it very hard to find teachers capable of teaching us. Those who can teach us for long periods of time are the rarest of the rare. To have this sort of opportunity, I am very happy for you.”
“Yes.”
Enzo Rota also had a face of excitement. Cook’s strength far exceeded what he had imagined. The pills that Cook brought out were probably the bottom of the barrel goods for Cook.
However, it was because this item was bottom of the barrel for Cook that it raised Cook’s strength up far too much.
“Excellent! I’m confident that you will be able to collect your pride.” Cook grabbed his kitchen knife. “Even if you are a genius, you will have to listen to me now that you are here. Therefore, you need to learn one thing. And that is cooking. Come! Learn from me!”
“This… if there’s nothing else, then I am going to leave first.”
Qin Fen got up and was prepared to leave when Cook’s kitchen knife flashed, nailing the table right before Qin Fen’s face.
“Kid, don’t be in such a rush to leave. This is the first time that your friend is going to cook. I think you should give it a taste, right? Otherwise, it would be quite unfair to your friendship.”
Qin Fen obediently sat back down in his seat. Though Cook was the drill instructor in the field of pharmaceuticals, this didn’t mean that his strength was weak.
He was someone powerful who wielded a kitchen knife day in and day out. He casually made disgusting food in the military as recreation. He wasn’t scared of being retaliated against. Clearly, his strength wouldn’t be weak to the point of non-existence.
The product of Enzo Rota’s first time cooking food was soon served, and Qin Fen finally knew something about his friend. This pharmaceutical genius, who he reckoned was also a genius in the martial dao, turned out to have things he wasn’t a genius in. It could be said that Enzo Rota really had things that he was a complete loser in.
The color of the food… there was not a single bit of color at all!
Smell… Qin Fen suspected that his incomparably sensitive sense of smell was having some issues. He actually was unable to smell a single iota of the fragrance of food.
Taste…
Qin Fen tried a mouthful. He swallowed it with great difficulty, upon which he gave Enzo Rota a thumbs up. “Bro, congratulations to you. It’s been one day since you came here, and there is one ability that you surpass Drill Instructor Cook in already.”
When the grave and stern Enzo Rota heard such praise, he couldn’t help feeling a wave of heat flood his face. Cooking food had actually been countless times harder than creating medicine or practicing martial arts. This food, which he made with diligence, actually caused Qin Fen’s eyes to turn green. What kind of taste and flavor did it have?
Cook instantly laughed so hard that it seemed like his teeth gonna fall out in his delight. He patted Enzo Rota on the shoulder very hard. “Kid, not bad, not bad! I saw how earnestly you made the food. I was really scared that your potential would’ve exploded for the sake of your friend. I was scared that you would produce food that smelled, looked, and tasted great. You have not disappointed me at all. To be able to make a dish without color flavor or smell… you really are the disciple upon which I will impart my legacy.”
Enzo Rota tossed Qin Fen an apologetic gaze. To be able to make Qin Fen turn green from eating… this was something extremely hard to do.
The final mouthful of the food was finally swallowed, and Qin Fen was already sweating from his forehead. Enzo Rota had brought cooking to the realm of the most disgusting. He had a talent that was out of the ordinary.
“Excellent! I shall declare something! From today on, all of Little Qin’s food will be your, Enzo Rota’s, responsibility.”
Cook cast Qin Fen a very retaliatory old gaze toward Qin Fen when he finished speaking. He had seen the disgusting food he made through hard work be completely eaten by Qin Fen with a delightful gaze time and time again. Cook always held a feeling of certain frustration and failure that was indescribable.
Today! He finally discovered that he could defeat Qin Fen through Enzo Rota’s body. It was the dawn that could torment Qin Fen! This made him feel incomparably excited and incomparably delighted.
The ringtone of the cell phone on Qin Fen’s body rang once more at this time. The canteen was relatively quiet, so the sound was exceptionally clear to everyone.
It was a phone number that Qin Fen didn’t recognize. Qin Fen was a bit baffled. The people who knew his cell phone number were quite few in number. Why was there an unfamiliar number calling him?
Qin Fen answered the phone, and a voice he wasn’t really familiar with could be heard through the receiver. “Qin… Qin Fen… save… save…” Static filled the line.
Lin Jiaxuan? Qin Fen two eyebrows lifted up. How did she find his number? Why does her voice sound like she was in pain? Why was there also the sound of ocean water? Could she be by the seashore?
Beep beep beep beep…
The sound that came through the receiver turned completely into the cutoff tone at this time.
Qin Fen contemplated for a moment as he held his cell phone. He got up they quickly walked toward the exit of the canteen. “I am going out for a moment, you guys help me out.”
Qin Fen walked out of the canteen and quick in his footsteps. No matter how he heard it, Lin Jiaxuan’s voice sounded to be painful moans. Even though he hadn’t really interacted with her much at all, since someone else was asking for his help, he couldn’t just ignore it.
As he left the military camp, Qin Fen simply raised his four-star Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, and he quickly dashed toward the seashore.
He quickly arrived at the place where they first met. The beach was silver under the moonlight, with waves and waves of chills. The tide crashed on the seacoast and retreated time and time again.
At the confluence between tide and seacoast, Qin Fen saw Lin Jiaxuan laying on the sandy beach, not moving even an inch.
“Something couldn’t have gone wrong during training, right?”
Bad premonitions flashed in Qin Fen’s mind. He quickly dashed over to her.
Today, Lin Jiaxuan wasn’t like the last time, when she was completely naked.
She wore a pair of white shorts. The spacious T-shirt practically enveloped the entirety of her shorts, revealing beautiful legs that were fair, white, and smooth. If it weren’t for the ocean water brushing upon her, revealing a bit of her shorts, it looked like she really was just wearing a single T-shirt and nothing else.
The body, beneath the one hundred percent white cotton T-shirt, did not contain a bra to protect the chest at all. After being soaked by the brush of seawater, the perfect mounds on her chest closely stuck to the T-shirt. One could even see the perkiness of the nipples. They were in the shape of juicy peaches. It was very easy for one to get the impulse to want to tear apart the T-shirt and fondle with these goods.
Lin Jiaxuan moaned. Her complexion was a bit pale. It was unknown just how many times she woke from unconsciousness.
She just so happened to see Qin Fen right next to her side. She awkwardly lifted her head to look at herself. The pure cotton T-shirt was already completely soaked. It stuck to her body, making her look no different than wearing no clothes at all.
No! Compared to not wearing any clothes, the appearance of soaked clothes sticking to the body was much more capable of letting a man have some physiological responses generated and engage in the actions of a beast.
“You… don’t you look…”
Lin Jiaxuan was anxious, angry, ashamed, and furious all at the same time. It was all because of this man before her eyes. She was incapable of cultivating after making her breakthrough in her own martial arts, yet she was unable to find him for help no matter how she looked. She could only rely on her own feelings to go explore the direction of cultivation.
In the end, facts were proven once more. Not just any person had the talent to modify martial art.
In the ocean, she, who encountered problems when taking off her clothes and cultivating, had arrived at the shore with great difficulty after putting on some tiny shorts and a T-shirt. She didn’t have the capability to do anything else. Her entire self collapsed on the sandy shore.
Qin Fen then turned his head to the side. He was still a man, after all. If he didn’t have any reactions seeing such a scene, he reckoned that he should go get his body examined and checked to see if he had any illnesses.
Proper virtue and morals controlled Qin Fen’s thoughts. He knew that there were some things he shouldn’t see right now, and to prevent accident seeing some things, he should step back and look away.
“Are you hurt?”
“Yes… the injury is very serious. My energy is in disorder…” Lin Jiaxuan was weak and without strength, but she responded full of resentment. “I made a breakthrough, but I don’t have the cultivation techniques for the latter parts. I was not able to find you as well, so I could only try to feel about and practice on my own.”
….
Qin Fen was silent for a moment. After he modified the martial art last time, he really should have followed her up. Lin Jiaxuan’s current situation, besides her own stubborn nature to win, was partially due to him. He was partially responsible.
