Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating-Chapter 4

After testing his strength and gaining some insight to his own strength, Lu Yu rose to his feet and left.

A couple walked towards him.

“Good morning, Grandpa Lu!”

The girl greeted Lu Yu with a smile.

Lu Yu recalled that this little girl was also a resident of this small district. However, her skills evolution wasn’t very high, otherwise she wouldn’t be living here.

The young man beside her glanced at Lu Yu, and then took no more notice of him. He curled his lips and turned to look elsewhere.

“Good morning!” Lu Yu smiled and nodded before leaving.

After walking away, the young man said angrily, “He’s just an old man. Why are you being so polite to him?”

However, the young woman said seriously, “Grandpa Lu used to be a warrior who participated in the Holy War. Without their contributions, how can we live in a peaceful world that we currently have?”

“Tsk.”

The young man said indifferently, “Look at his head full of white hair. His skills evolution level isn’t very high. He’s just passive cannon fodder even if he had participated in the Holy War. What does the Holy War have to do with him?”

The woman was a little displeased when she heard that. “Grandpa Lu is a very good person and very powerful too. You can’t behave in this manner towards him.”

“How strong can he be? If he’s really that strong, how come he is still living here?” The young man retorted.

......

When the young woman heard this, she was stunned for a moment and was at a loss for words.

“Come on, come on. Let’s go and have a test. I’ve improved quite a bit recently. I feel that I should have reached Martial Arts Warrior Grade 2. When the time comes and my allowance is increased, I’ll take you out for a good meal!” The young man said casually.

When they came to the testing stone in the middle of the district,

they were shocked to find a heap of rubble instead of the testing stone.

“What’s going on? The limit of this testing stone is 10,000 kilograms. How can anyone here reach 10,000 kilograms of punching force?” The young man exclaimed in shock. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

The young woman pulled him to one side and pointed at the monitoring device beside her. An unbelievable number was displayed on it: 12,000 kilograms!

“12,000 kilograms? Isn’t that the strength of a Martial Master? Are there Martial Masters in this neighborhood?”

Both of them were astonished.

“I think Grandpa Lu came out from here just now. Could it be that Grandpa Lu punched this result?” The young lady hazarded a guess.

The young man was terrified when he heard that. He had been so disrespectful to a Martial Master just now!

At that moment, he broke out in cold sweat. If the other party decided to pursue the matter, his life would be over!

“Grandpa Lu won’t give me any trouble, right? Otherwise, I’m dead for sure.” The young man moaned with regret.

“I don’t think so.” The young woman shook her head. “Grandpa Lu is a very good person. He’s very kind to us. He probably won’t give you any trouble.”

At the same time, the young woman was also puzzled.

Previously, she had heard her grandfather mention that some of these elderly people’s health vitality had been regressing recently, as well as their strength. Grandpa Lu was among this group.

But now, how did Grandpa Lu manage to punch out with a force of 12,000 kilograms? With this level of force, he would have reached the level of a Martial Master!

The young woman suddenly began to doubt that this punch could have come from Grandpa Lu. However, there were very few people in the small district in the morning. She didn’t see anyone else at all. She recalled seeing only Grandpa Lu passing by just now.

Meanwhile, Lu Yu didn’t think too much about the incident and went straight home.

In two days’ time, it would be the Federation Martial Arts Trial.

With his current upgraded skills evolution, there was no need for him to worry about being demoted to an ordinary person.

However, it was clear that Lu Yu wasn’t satisfied with this. In this world, martial arts reigned supreme. The stronger one was, the higher his status and the better his treatment.

Compared to ordinary people, Martial Arts Warriors were leading considerably better lives. They could live a lifetime without worrying about food and money, but that was all.

Even if Lu Yu didn’t care about anything else, he was still concerned about his own lifespan.

He was already 90 years old and could only extend his lifespan if he reached the level of a Martial Master.

Otherwise, if he died of old age in a few years’ time, it would be too much of a waste.

The irony that he would die of old age in a few years after transmigrating was not lost on him. Lu Yu didn’t want that to happen to him.

If he wanted his abilities to continue improving, absorbing the thin spiritual energy from the air or practicing and training to strengthen his body would be way too slow.

With his SSS-class Gluttony Talent, he had been given a shortcut.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu went to the kitchen and opened the freezer to search for food.

Inside the freezer, there were only some vegetables or ordinary livestock meat left.

Lu Yu took a quick glance. With his SSS-class Gluttony Talent, he could tell that there was very little health vitality contained within these foods. It was too meager for his current Grade 6 Martial Arts Evolution needs.

He had to buy some other ingredients.

Following this, Lu Yu put on his virtual reality helmet.

The helmet looked similar to an ordinary helmet, except that there was a crystal core attached at the back which was used to provide energy.

After putting it on, store options started appearing one by one in front of Lu Yu. With just a single thought, Lu Yu began making his selection. It was truly convenient.

Although martial arts was considered the most important thing in this world, there was still a certain degree of advancement in technology. It was quite progressive, and this futuristic technology turned out to be quite useful.

Lu Yu was well aware that he was currently a Grade 6 Martial Arts Warrior and his strength had risen by a great deal. Most ordinary food wouldn’t be of much help to him.

However, things like ginseng and other high-end ingredients were very expensive. He could not afford them with his current limited financial means.

Just as he was fretting over the lack of suitable options, at this moment, a few pieces of Fearsome Beast meat were put up for sale in the store. They attracted Lu Yu’s attention immediately.

According to his memories, the meat from these Fearsome Beasts wasn’t of much use to ordinary martial arts warriors. They simply couldn’t absorb much of the strength and health vitality within, and could only consume them as relatively more delicious food.

What martial arts warriors really needed was the crystal core inside the bodies of Fearsome Beasts. That was the most valuable item.

As for the meat of these Fearsome Beasts, as far as ordinary people were concerned, the meat was considered inferior to ordinary livestock or mutated animals.

Even though the meat from Fearsome Beasts was delicious, ordinary people could not absorb the nutrients within. Most of them would end up with diarrhea after consuming it.

As a result, there were very few uses for the meat of these Fearsome Beasts. Only martial arts warriors could eat it as ordinary food. As a result, there weren’t many customers who bought it. Their price dropped again and again, until they were only slightly more expensive than ordinary meat.

Lu Yu checked his current financial status. He had 3000 federal coins left. Although it was a relatively small sum, it was still enough to buy some good stuff.

Lu Yu ran through the various selections before settling for the meat of the Aquila.

Firstly, this Fearsome Beast seemed to be more powerful and of a higher class than other choices. With Lu Yu’s SSS-class Gluttony Talent, the higher the quality of the ingredients, the more surprises he would get.

Secondly, it was the only item that Lu Yu could afford.

As for the meat of other Fearsome Beasts, they were either relatively commonplace or too expensive for Lu Yu.

After spending all the three thousand federal coins and placing an order for three kilograms of Aquila poultry meat, Lu Yu sat back and waited at home.

Less than half an hour later, the doorbell rang. Lu Yu opened the door and sure enough, the courier had arrived.

The swift logistics service had already delivered his order.

“Sir, this is the item you ordered from our Eastern Emporium. Please sign for it,” a young man said while holding a package the size of a wash basin.
