Full-Time Public Enemy

Chapter 269: Be Pious to Gourmet Food (1)


CLICK-CLICK-CLICK-CLICK-CLICK...

Chen Gu suddenly heard a dense sound. Quickly, through his Radiation Field's perception, he realized a swarm of Energy Gathering Mechanical Piranhas was approaching.

Their numbers were indeed terrifyingly huge. Like a tidal wave, they swamped the metal eggs.

However, they were only there to care for their offspring, and Chen Gu had not been discovered. He calmly hid in place. After the swarm of piranhas had left, he thought for a moment and moved forward stealthily, advancing to the edge of the metal eggs. At this point, his Radiation Field's perception extended further, and he happened to "see" a group of newly hatched Energy Gathering Mechanical Piranhas feeding.

A gigantic Energy Gathering Mechanical Python, tens of meters long, was dragged in by the large swarm, and the small piranhas swarmed over it. Due to their sheer numbers, the piranhas at the front opened their tooth-filled mouths and bit fiercely. In no time at all, they submerged the mechanical python.

The small piranhas at the back, unable to eat, became anxious and kicked off, jumping up. Their curved claws hooked onto the Energy Gathering Mechanical Python, greedily eating away at it.

An Energy Gathering Mechanical Python was picked clean in just a few breaths, not leaving behind even a speck of metallic residue.

Afterward, the large swarm of piranhas dragged in one Energy Gathering Mechanical Species after another, all the results of their hunting.

The small piranhas swarmed over them once again.

At this moment, Chen Gu felt a myriad of emotions. How I envy their teeth! If I had such steel-like fangs, why would I fear mere snake eggs?

Chen Gu quietly peeked out. The metal eggs emitted a faint light, so the large cavern before him was bathed in brightness.

The multitude of Energy Gathering Mechanical Piranhas made one's scalp tingle, but Chen Gu's attention was drawn to a high stone platform in the center of the swarm.

There was one particularly massive Energy Gathering Mechanical Piranha on top.

An adult Energy Gathering Mechanical Piranha was about the size of a basketball, while those just hatched were the size of table tennis balls.

This one on the stone platform was two stories tall!

This Energy Gathering Mechanical Piranha was painfully laying eggs. Egg after egg continuously popped out from behind it, and the larger piranhas dutifully carried these eggs away to be placed in open spaces within the cave.

The cave was as large as seven or eight football fields and was nearly filled with fish eggs.

For some reason, when Chen Gu saw the Energy Gathering Mechanical Piranha King, a strong craving surged within him.

Chen Gu knew it must be a lingering effect of Isabella Wu's memories.

But why, when facing other Energy Gathering Mechanical Species, am I only hungry, yet I feel such an intense craving for this Piranha King?

He silently flipped through *The Past of Four Hundred* and drew upon Isabella Wu's memories, triggering an "exotic craving." He "saw" a part of the Energy Gathering Mechanical Piranha King's body—an organ that was incredibly delicious!

This only made his craving uncontainable. Chen Gu's eyes glowed green, fixating on the Energy Gathering Mechanical Piranha King. What started as a mere craving had now become an irresistible biological instinct!

Eat it!

I must eat it!

Otherwise, all the hardships I've undergone to become a Professional would be in vain!

So, let me ask: how many steps are needed to eat a fish?

For the Radiation Missionary, it consists of two steps: first, blow up all the Energy Gathering Mechanical Piranhas, and second, eat the Piranha King.

For the Star Battle Instructor, it involves four steps. First, gather all subordinate warriors. Second, command the warriors to use exceptional tactics to defeat the swarm of piranhas and capture the Piranha King. Third, kill the Piranha King and distribute other parts to subordinates. Fourth, eat the portion that belongs to oneself.

For the Quantum Wizard, it involves two steps: first, to teleport oneself to the position of that organ inside the Piranha King, and second, to bite down hard.

As for the Brain Domain Hacker... Oh, it seems this time there's no need for the Brain Domain Hacker to take action; the Quantum Wizard is more suitable indeed.

Chen Gu felt an almost uncontrollable instinctual urge, making him want to switch to the Quantum Wizard immediately and teleport himself over.

But he quickly thought of another problem. If the Piranha King dies, wouldn't this huge school of piranhas go into a frenzy? What if I can't get away?

Use Quantum Teleportation to escape far away, so the school can't find me.

Yet, to eat such a delicacy raw and uncooked would be a sinful waste.

Another option is to teleport over, cut off that organ, and then make a quick escape to hide and slowly cook this ingredient.

If he were in a normal state, Chen Gu would never have so many disorganized thoughts.

But now, I truly feel that I should completely deal with the school, and then enjoy the delicacy in peace. Besides, even cooking the delicacy in hiding would feel like a desecration!

Knowing that this was actually the best choice, Chen Gu's stubborn "conviction" still led him to choose an even more difficult path.

I still need the Brain Domain Hacker, Chen Gu sighed inwardly. He was several hundred meters away from the Energy Gathering Mechanical Piranha King. At this distance, with his current strength, none of the Brain Domain Hacker's skills could affect the Piranha King.

I must get closer to it...

But between Chen Gu and the Piranha King was a dense, teeming mass of Energy Gathering Mechanical Piranhas. These creatures seemed very xenophobic; everything apart from themselves was considered food.

Chen Gu looked up, thinking about crawling over from the top of the cave. However, the area above the Energy Gathering Mechanical Piranha King was the highest point of the entire cave, over five hundred meters away from the Piranha King...

Chen Gu, swallowing hard, quickly racked his brains. I'll use Quantum Teleportation to get next to the Piranha King. Such an act will undoubtedly reveal my position. Then, I'll use Mind Remote Control to take over the Piranha King and order its school not to attack me.

Then, eat the Piranha King!

Perfect!

Chen Gu was already struggling to refrain from taking action, but the last bit of his rationality held back the impulse.

What if Mind Remote Control can't take over the Piranha King immediately? I'll be subjected to the school's frenzied attacks.

Chen Gu thought about it. Well, then I'll immediately teleport back and quickly run away.

At worst, I can try a few more times.

But there's another problem. If I eat the Piranha King, without its control, the school will still launch a frenzied attack on me.

Chen Gu stroked his chin and thought, then came up with another idea.

Let's do it!

He promptly switched to Derek Kun Shen's memories. A pale blue ripple of energy emerged, teleporting Chen Gu next to the Energy Gathering Mechanical Piranha King. As expected, the moment he appeared, the massive school of piranhas in the entire cave went into a frenzy and charged at him.

Those responsible for feeding, those caring for the fish eggs—they abandoned everything and madly rushed towards him.

Chen Gu immediately switched to Isabella Wu's memories and activated Mind Remote Control. An invisible, special fluctuation spread out towards the Piranha King.
