[Gourmand Dungeon]: I'll need your help when cooking the True Ancestor Secret Monster Cookbook. I definitely can't handle it alone.
On the train, Xia Yu appeared to be sitting with his halberd, eyes closed, resting, but in reality, he was chatting in the Chat Group, asking for help.
In the game, he had to protect the cooking process of the True Ancestor Secret Monster Cookbook to prevent it from being interrupted by C-04 Infected Creatures.
Those Infected Creatures were all let in by puchui. As for why puchui didn't personally appear to stop them, it was because She had a bigger plan.
But even if they were just Infected Creatures, their endless, wave-like numbers still left him exhausted.
In the game, he even failed several times and had to reload before finally succeeding by luck. Now that he's in reality, there's no cheat-like function to reload, so he must succeed on the first try.
Although Xia Yu considered his strength to be good, the cooking would take place in three locations simultaneously. He would have to rush back and forth between these three places to protect the sites, making it impossible to be in multiple places at once.
Fortunately, now he had other selves who could help, preventing him from being overly stressed.
[dark souls i]: Okay, currently, those with combat power in the group should be me, Ashen One, Tarnished, Demon God, Energetic Adventurer, Cultivator, and Immortal Cultivator.
[dark souls i]: However, Tarnished can't go to other worlds, and the Demon God is sealed. I don't know about the others, but I can come over to help at any time.
[dark souls iii]: If it's urgent, I can come too, but if it's not urgent, just skip me for now. I'm still learning, and every bit of strength I can gain is good, after all, more strength is always better when fighting that puchui.
[Tale of Immortal]: Me too! I've already gathered enough Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment materials and will soon advance to a new realm. If it's not urgent, there's no need to call me.
[do you want to cultivate immortality]: I can come at any time, after all, there's nothing major happening in the sect right now, just cultivation.
[soul knight]: Plus one, I'm pretty much the same. Besides going into the Dungeon, I'm learning recovery spells from the Priest.
During the time Energetic Xia Yu was being taught by the Necromancer, the Priest, who was a friend of the Necromancer, also developed the idea of teaching students.
Seeing how quickly Energetic Xia Yu learned Necromancy Spells, she no longer looked for a new successor but instead directly taught Xia Yu her own Holy Light Healing Spells.
Although Xia Yu couldn't figure out why a Priest would be friends with a Necromancer, he didn't refuse this opportunity and also began to learn Holy Light Healing Spells.
[nier: automata]: So, are us weaklings just supposed to watch?
[clash of clans]: Although we're not completely powerless, we ultimately can't compare to those specialized in combat.
[resident evil]: No, there's something we can do. We can go to the soul knight world, enter the Dungeon, kill monsters to accumulate magic power, and then send the magic power through Red Envelopes. This way, they won't have to worry about running out of mana during combat.
[resident evil]: Tarnished and Demon God, it's the same for you. Since you can't leave, just generate magic power where you are, then cultivate to recover mana, acting as power banks.
[elden ring]: Alright, I'll head back to the Table of Grace now and be a silent power bank. Oh, and I'll also send you my strength during combat.
[Genshin Impact]: Plus one. If you're all fighting and I'm doing nothing, I'd feel uneasy.
[resident evil]: Good, as long as we accumulate enough magic power, we can completely overwhelm puchui with a massive amount of magic power!
[dark souls iii]: Oh oh oh! It's me, after all, to think of something everyone can do so quickly!
[tomb raider]: Alright, I'll go tell Lara I'm going out for a bit. Luckily, we haven't started our next adventure yet, otherwise I wouldn't know how to leave.
[nier: automata]: I have a bit of a problem here. If I leave for too long, the Androids will go crazy, but I'll find a way to help too.
[ghostwire: tokyo]: Fine, although I'm an evil spirit, I'm not without the power to fight. Zombie brother, don't forget to ask Ximi for a complete collection of Necromancy Spells. Even though I'm on the immortal cultivation side, magic isn't impossible to learn.
[clash of clans]: Don't forget the Spell Potions I've saved up; there are plenty of them, use as much as you want, you won't run out!
[marvel]: Time to go to the Dungeon, Adventurer, agree to it.
[soul knight]: OK, agreed. Everyone, come in.
[the talos principle]: This... what should I do then? I'm an AI, I can't be a magic power bank, nor can I provide combat support.
[resident evil]: That seems to be a problem. I remember the Gourmand Dungeon world also has its own AI, and it's quite intelligent, so you really might not be of much use.
[the talos principle]: (ω)
I'm really sorry for being an AI robot; I can't even be a magic power bank.
[resident evil]: You should use this time to make a set of battle armor for Zombie Xia Yu, after all, defense is also very important! It's a good chance to test the Magic Battle Armor we've designed!
[the talos principle]: (*`*)
Looking at the lively discussion in the group, Zombie Xia Yu's lips curved upwards. It was quite touching that so many people cared about his affairs.
Although all these people were himself, the phrase'self-respect and self-love' was indeed true!
"Hey, Apprentice, did you just smile?"
A cheerful greeting sounded in Xia Yu's ear. When he opened his eyes, Ximi's curious blue face appeared before him.
...
"Are you pretending to be profound again? Your face isn't suitable for pretending to be profound, Apprentice."
"Ximi, do you have enough magic power now?" Xia Yu asked, looking at Ximi's blue figure.
"Oh oh, my Apprentice finally called my name!" Hearing Xia Yu's words, Ximi first spun around happily, then nodded, "Of course, I feel super good now, and my soul and everything have recovered."
"Then why are you still blue? Can't souls control their appearance?" Xia Yu gestured towards Tangerine, "Tangerine has a normal skin tone."
Hearing this, Ximi raised her proud face: "Because blue is cuter! If an undead was flesh-colored, it would look very strange."
Xia Yu didn't comment much on Ximi's aesthetics. The main reason he asked this question was to transition to the next one.
"Can I return to a normal skin tone?"
He almost thought he was poisoned every time he looked in the mirror at his pale purple skin. After looking at it for so long, he still hadn't gotten used to it.
"Eh? Purple skin is also very beautiful, why change back to your original skin tone?"
"Can I change back?"
"That would be... no." Ximi crossed her hands and shook her head, "You're a Zombie, after all. What Zombie has a normal skin tone? Zombies should be purple."
...
Xia Yu suddenly felt a bit fortunate. Luckily, Ximi didn't turn this body into a zombie. If it were a zombie, just thinking about it made him get goosebumps.
