Chapter 76 To become stronger, you need to eat stones?
Such a saturation attack caused the suction cups on Grotta's body to operate frantically, desperately trying to absorb all the attack energy at once.
But this is like continuing to pour water into a container that is already overflowing. When the total amount of energy completely exceeds the absorption limit, the suction cups can no longer hold anything. The golden light flashes wildly on the suction cups, faster and brighter.
"No--"
Grotta looked down at the suction cup on her chest, and the contempt in her eyes was finally replaced by disbelief. She couldn't believe that she had actually lost to these guys.
boom!
With a loud bang, the roof of the Yorozuya was blown off by the blast wave.
Purple and gold light intertwined, transforming into a giant mushroom cloud that slowly rose into the twilight.
When the smoke and dust cleared, all that remained where Grotta had stood was a charred, deep crater, and the Yorozuya—the Yorozuya—was completely gone.
The walls were gone, the roof was gone, and even the foundation had mostly collapsed. Fortunately, the green plants she had planted by the door, the sofa she had bought from a secondhand market in the living room, the kitchenware she had used for many years and couldn't bear to replace... everything was gone.
"My... Yorozuya..."
Fortunately, as she stood before the ruins, her visor automatically disengaged, revealing her blank, lifeless face.
Shen Yi: ……
Although he didn't do it, for some reason, he felt inexplicably guilty.
After all, even if the Knights' Shelter attacked people with the moon, it would be difficult to cause substantial damage to the buildings—could it be because of my involvement?
"It's okay, it's okay, don't cry, don't cry!"
Shen Yi quickly deactivated his transformation, pulled her into his arms, and gently patted her back.
Fortunately:...
Xingguo playfully punched his chest, but didn't reject the hug. After a while, she finally spoke in a muffled voice, "I wasn't crying, I was just worried about where I'd stay tonight."
Of course you'll stay at my house!
Shen Yi almost burst out laughing, but quickly suppressed it and said seriously, "For the time being, everyone should stay at the research institute. It's spacious enough to accommodate everyone."
To avoid revealing his true purpose, he turned to look at Shengzhen, his gaze becoming more serious. "Also, Shengzhen, call your great-uncle over as well, lest he be harmed by the Stormmark family."
His great-uncle, Dent Stormmark, was the only elder in the Stormmark family who had kept him locked up since childhood, and now lived alone in the wilderness.
As for his father, Bush Stormmark—Shen Yi still doesn't understand why, given the aesthetics of the Sugar People, they would be interested in humans. In any case, normal humans certainly wouldn't be interested in Sugar People. Poor, shin-chan's mother.
Shen Yi was speechless at Sheng Zhen's plight. "You're the head of the Stormmark family. Even if you treat Sheng Zhen and her son like pets, what's wrong with feeding them well? Huazhong Agricultural University even keeps a few white field mice."
In the original story, the strange old man, whose form resembled a crocodile, died at the hands of Grotta. Before his death, he used his teeth to create the Feast Bottle—and until the very end, Ikuma didn't know that the Feast Bottle was made from his uncle's teeth.
Although the so-called final form of Grandmaster Gabu was eventually beaten to a pulp by the Führer.
Shengzhen was stunned for a moment before realizing that his uncle was indeed in danger. He quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, we have to bring Uncle back. If Lango and the others find out, Uncle will be in danger."
That night, the research institute was brightly lit.
Dent Stormmark was taken over. Although the old man was in a strange form, he looked chubby and even had a somewhat endearing appearance.
"By the way, Uncle, you can choose any of these mimicry keys. Once you've chosen one, I'll do a little modification so you can also transform into a human form."
Shen Yi curiously examined Dent, then casually placed a pile of mimic keys on the table. These were the spoils they had obtained from hunting down the temporary Sugar Man workers over the past few days.
"A mimicry key."
Dent looked at the keys on the table, his tone complicated. After a moment's thought, he said, "These things... should be destroyed."
Shen Yi raised an eyebrow. As a fellow scientist, he naturally knew what these mimicry keys were made of.
What else could make a sugar person indistinguishable from a human, even from their own kind?
"I will."
Shen Yi nodded. He actually planned to reverse engineer the research and create a mimicry key specifically for the Sugar Man, so he could visit the Sugar Man world in the future.
He even had an even bolder idea: to have Haiyue 9 or Dent run for president, so that ambitious figures like Boka Jardak would not emerge in the future.
Of course, all of this is contingent on first cleaning up these guys.
"Alright, let's eat first. By the way, Uncle Dent, can you get full from eating human food?"
Shen Yi was a little curious. After some research, he discovered that Haiyue 9 couldn't eat diamonds at all. Well, don't ask him how he knew that.
Haiyue 9:……
Anyway, he discovered that what the Sugar People really liked were iron-rich minerals, not just stones or gemstones.
If we translate that into human eating habits, it would probably be "eat meat but not fur"?
"Of course you can."
Dent laughed heartily, patting his round belly. "Look at my figure, I got fat from eating human food."
Shen Yi looked at Dent, his eyes gradually burning with desire. He really wanted to study the body structure of these sugar people with their bellies, but Grotta had been blown to pieces, leaving not even a trace. And Shengzhen was one of his own, so he couldn't just dissect him on the lab table, could he?
Okay, Uncle is actually one of our own.
After a hearty meal and drinks, Shen Yi finally couldn't hold back and expressed his desire to draw some blood from Dent and Shengzhen for research.
"That's no problem. Actually, I'd like to see what's going on with Shengzhen now, but the equipment at home used to be too rudimentary."
Perhaps influenced by the genuine aura of the sugar man, Dent was quite naive. He not only readily agreed but also chatted with Shen Yi with great interest and even directly participated in the research.
Then, Shen Yi was the first to discover a problem: Dent had gained weight because he had some indigestion!
The principle is similar to humans drinking milk tea. Milk tea contains trans fatty acids, and if you drink it every day, and your metabolism is extremely slow, you will naturally accumulate more and more fat.
So, the next question is: Why is Shengzhen able to absorb it?
Shen Yi touched his chin, and the image of Gabu suddenly flashed through his mind.
According to the official lore, Amazing Gab is a new power that Sasami gained after eating gummy bears due to his indomitable fighting spirit. However, on the surface, he simply ate a handful of gummy bears mixed with pebbles—and those gummy bears were even stained with his own blood. As is well known, blood contains a large amount of iron.
So, is it possible that the birth of Amazing Gabu was because the Sugar Man hybrid Shengzhen simultaneously ingested stones, gummy candies, and blood?
So, if you want to become stronger, you have to eat stones?
