Chapter 136 You Wouldn't Want to Go Without Braised Beef with Tomatoes, Would You?

　　Hai Ji carried Chen Luo when they came.

　　Now that they were returning, Hai Ji asked, "Little brother, should I carry you on my back, or in my arms?"

　　This…

　　Ning Shuang asked doubtfully, "Doesn't he have legs? Let him run himself."

　　Hai Ji said matter-of-factly, "Little brother will get tired. I need to take good care of him."

　　Chen Luo was embarrassed. If you spoil me like this, I'll become useless sooner or later.

　　Chen Luo felt sorry for his sister and didn't let her carry him again.

　　There was no hurry anyway, so they walked slowly.

　　It was nearly noon when they returned to the base after more than five hours.

　　Before returning to the base, Chen Luo had already reported to Mi Li through Zhao Ziyi, saying he was bringing back a mermaid.

　　At the same time, he asked Ma Yu to cook more dishes, all kinds of dishes.

　　If Ning Shuang was a foodie, he would completely tie her down.

　　Entering the base, Ning Shuang looked around curiously. Although she had contact with humans, she had never entered human society.

　　Everything was new to her.

　　It was a pity her eyes were still squinting, making it hard to see clearly.

　　Back in the courtyard, Chen Luo introduced Mi Li, Ning Shuang, and the others to each other.

　　Ning Shuang felt that Mi Li was very pleasing to the eye.

　　Chen Luo said, "Mi Li, give them each a healing."

　　Mi Li was shocked and angry. "Who beat up Hai Ji-jie like this?"

　　Ning Shuang took off her scarf. "I did."

　　"Pfft," Mi Fan couldn't help it, even though she had undergone professional training, when she saw Ning Shuang and Hai Ji's appearance.

　　After Mi Li recovered from her amusement, she gave each of them a healing, but since both of them were King-level, the effect wasn't very strong and didn't completely heal them.

　　Hai Ji said, "Use time acceleration to heal faster."

　　Chen Luo's eyes lit up. That was indeed the case. Although it would consume a few days of time for no reason, they would definitely want to recover their appearance as soon as possible.

　　Sure enough, with the efforts of Mi Li and Chen Luo, they quickly regained their original appearances.

　　Hai Ji had done it many times before, but Ning Shuang was shocked. It was so magical.

　　Unfortunately, time acceleration didn't appeal to Ning Shuang. She didn't need to grow up quickly, nor did she need to rewind time.

　　Would time stop have any effect on them?

　　If it did, how long could it stop them for?

　　Hai Ji had just advanced yesterday, and Chen Luo had forgotten to ask Jiang Chuxue to do an experiment.

　　He might as well call her over for dinner.

　　Jiang Chuxue arrived quickly. This experiment was very important.

　　Even a fraction of a second could be fatal to a King-level.

　　Looking at Ning Shuang, Jiang Chuxue felt very complicated. How could Chen Luo keep bringing back beautiful women one after another?

　　"Time Stop."

　　Jiang Chuxue, at Level 7, used all her abilities and actually managed to cause three seconds of time stop on Hai Ji.

　　!

　　She could freeze a King-level for three seconds.

　　Back then, it had only been a little over a second on Chen Luo, who was at Level 8.

　　Chen Luo blinked. Was it because Jiang Chuxue had advanced?

　　The difference was too great, wasn't it?

　　Hai Ji and Ning Shuang looked at Jiang Chuxue in shock. This ability was too awesome.

　　If either of them had Jiang Chuxue's help during their fight earlier, they would have definitely won.

　　Jiang Chuxue had a slight smile on her face. "I seem to have gained some new understanding of my abilities recently."

　t sadly, Jiang Chuxue's abilities were exhausted now. Otherwise, Chen Luo wanted to test what effect Jiang Chuxue could have on him.

　　Chen Luo was a little depressed. After so long, he still hadn't mastered time stop, and the improvement in time acceleration was only minimal.

　　And time reversal was nowhere in sight.

　　It seemed that nothing could force out his potential.

　　Time acceleration was far more effective against mutants than Jiang Chuxue's time stop, but it had no effect against people like Hai Ji and Ning Shuang.

　　Because Chen Luo couldn't accelerate them to death.

　　Time stop had some effect on mutants, but not much.

　　Each had its own advantages and disadvantages.

　　"Dinner's ready," Ma Yu called out.

　　Everyone sat down at the dining table, and dishes that Ning Shuang had never seen before were brought out.

　　There were both meat and vegetables.

　　The aroma of the dishes made Ning Shuang purse her lips involuntarily.

　　Was this how humans ate?

　　Mi Li smiled and handed Ning Shuang a pair of chopsticks.

　　Ning Shuang took them curiously. What were these for?

　　Mi Li demonstrated how to use them.

　　Of course, a beginner with chopsticks couldn't control them well, even a King-level couldn't.

　　To Chen Luo's surprise, Ning Shuang actually ate meat.

　　Ning Shuang tried to pick up a piece of braised pork that was red and glossy. She managed to grab it, but the chopsticks slipped, and the braised pork flew towards Hai Ji.

　　Chen Luo quickly caught it in mid-air. If it had hit Hai Ji-jie's face, they wouldn't be able to eat this meal.

　　Chen Luo put it in his mouth. It wasn't good to waste food.

　　Ning Shuang's favorite was braised beef with tomatoes.

　　Seeing that Ning Shuang loved it, everyone gave it to her.

　　Ning Shuang really loved it and ate a whole bowl of braised beef with tomatoes.

　　Ning Shuang actually picked up the bowl of braised beef and started licking it.

　　Ma Yu quickly said, "I'll make another batch."

　　Chen Luo was stunned. I seem to have found your weakness.

　　Ms. Ning Shuang, you wouldn't want to go without braised beef with tomatoes in the future, would you?

　　You can't judge a fish by its appearance. Ning Shuang's appetite was comparable to Zhao Ziyi's, that glutton.

　　Touching her small belly, Ning Shuang asked contentedly, "When I was by the sea, I saw people eating mutated crabs and fish, and they looked like they were having a hard time eating them. Why don't they eat this thing called beef brisket?"

　　Chen Luo chuckled. Wasn't this a case of "why don't they eat meat porridge?"

　　Potatoes weren't a rare thing now and could be grown, but beef was something that few people could afford.

　　You were lucky to be able to follow me. Otherwise, you'd probably still be eating seaweed.

　　After the meal, Ma Yu naturally cleaned up. In her words, that was her job.

　　Ning Shuang looked left and right in the house.

　　The refrigerator, TV, mobile phone, bed, and everything else were too novel.

　　After making a few jokes, Ning Shuang learned to be smart and asked if she didn't understand.

　　In the afternoon, Chen Luo was still concerned about the issue at noon and asked Jiang Chuxue to try time stop on him again.

　　To Chen Luo's surprise, it could only cause three seconds of time stop on Chen Luo, who was actually at Level 9.

　　That was assuming Chen Luo didn't use his time ability to cancel it.

　　What was going on?

　　Could it be that no matter what level, Jiang Chuxue's time stop could cause a minimum control effect of three seconds?

　　Because the minimum was three seconds, it was three seconds of control for both Level 9 and King-level?

　　In his previous life, when Chen Luo was King-level, he had been controlled by Jiang Chuxue for more than ten seconds, but that was a normal use by Jiang Chuxue, not a full-power use.

　　Unfortunately, Jiang Chuxue didn't have any offensive methods besides time stop.

　　In a one-on-one fight, Jiang Chuxue was no match for a King-level melee fighter.

　　She couldn't kill a King-level melee fighter within the time stop.

　　A week passed in a flash.

　　The King-level crystal he had obtained was completely consumed.

　　Chen Luo sighed. "It won't be easy to get another King-level crystal."
