Chapter 144 - Wet Body (1/2)
Bam!
Enzo Rota smacked down a second metal box the size of a fist. His eyes flickered with the sheer glow of confidence.
“This… this is also your…”
Bam… bam… bam…
Enzo Rota was someone who didn’t really like to show off. It was just that he had heard the contemptuous meaning behind Cook’s words. And this contemptuousness was looking lightly on Qin Fen’s foresight.
While Enzo Rota was a very prideful person, he was someone who was cold on the outside but passionate on the inside. To have his own friend be looked lightly upon, even if this was done in kindness, this was something that Enzo Rota couldn’t endure. Pieces after pieces of pharmaceutical works were spread over the table like the falling of rain.
“All right! Okay already! There’s no need to take out anymore!” Cook waved his hand. “I wasn’t as strong as you when I was your age. I thought you were being a bit arrogant when you said three months, but you really are qualified to say these words.”
It was only this that satisfied Enzo Rota. He stopped taking out his works of art.
Cook had a faint smile as he looked over the various works on the table. “Clever and wonderful thoughts and ideas. You really are gifted. Your fundamentals are also very sturdy. You are a genius in pharmaceuticals! Within the young generation, perhaps there’s only the rumored pharmaceutical genius called Enzo Rota that could be a match for you.”
Qin Fen became much more delighted than before when he heard such an assessment. “Drill instructor, how do you know that the Enzo Rota you speak of can be an assured match for my good friend? The rumors must be exaggerated.”
“That is impossible.” Cook waved his hand very decisively. “Even though I’ve never met the kid, I have seen one of his prescriptions. Though the work is a bit young and tender, it is absolutely in the style of the genius.”
“Drill instructor… this is…” Qin Fen sat by Enzo Rota’s side and said, “Let me give you a detailed introduction of my friend here. His name is Enzo Rota. He is a good friend of mine from high school…”
“Enzo… Enzo Rota? You’re none other than Enzo Rota? You’re that genius who countless idiotic experts think highly of?” There was a bit of agony within Cook’s smile. “I never thought that those idiots would have moments of good taste.”
“Not bad, not bad!” Cook studied Enzo Rota from top to bottom. “Kid, you just gave me a fright. You must be quite proud of yourself right now, right? Since you want to learn from me, then I will nevertheless need to have you be a bit more well behaved…”
Cook rapped the ring on his ring finger, and a pill came tumbling out.
Enzo Rota picked it up. He merely sniffed it with his nose for a moment, and his grave and stern face turned stiff. His eyes were filled with endless shock.
“You can taste it if you want…” Cook’s smile was very confident. “Perhaps you can discover some things with it.”
His expression darkened as he placed the pill in his hand back on the table. He didn’t go tasting the pill, instead, he simply gave Lin Liqiang a call.
“Old Enz, did you make your trip for nothing or something?”
“Asking for one more month.”
“What?”
“Further extension will probably be needed.”
“Then congratulations!” Lin Liqiang’s voice was filled with joy. He said, “Congratulations! Congratulations! Those who reach our level find it very hard to find teachers capable of teaching us. Those who can teach us for long periods of time are the rarest of the rare. To have this sort of opportunity, I am very happy for you.”
“Yes.”
Enzo Rota also had a face of excitement. Cook’s strength far exceeded what he had imagined. The pills that Cook brought out were probably the bottom of the barrel goods for Cook.
However, it was because this item was bottom of the barrel for Cook that it raised Cook’s strength up far too much.
“Excellent! I’m confident that you will be able to collect your pride.” Cook grabbed his kitchen knife. “Even if you are a genius, you will have to listen to me now that you are here. Therefore, you need to learn one thing. And that is cooking. Come! Learn from me!”
“This… if there’s nothing else, then I am going to leave first.”
Qin Fen got up and was prepared to leave when Cook’s kitchen knife flashed, nailing the table right before Qin Fen’s face.
“Kid, don’t be in such a rush to leave. This is the first time that your friend is going to cook. I think you should give it a taste, right? Otherwise, it would be quite unfair to your friendship.”
Qin Fen obediently sat back down in his seat. Though Cook was the drill instructor in the field of pharmaceuticals, this didn’t mean that his strength was weak.
He was someone powerful who wielded a kitchen knife day in and day out. He casually made disgusting food in the military as recreation. He wasn’t scared of being retaliated against. Clearly, his strength wouldn’t be weak to the point of non-existence.
The product of Enzo Rota’s first time cooking food was soon served, and Qin Fen finally knew something about his friend. This pharmaceutical genius, who he reckoned was also a genius in the martial dao, turned out to have things he wasn’t a genius in. It could be said that Enzo Rota really had things that he was a complete loser in.
The color of the food… there was not a single bit of color at all!
Smell… Qin Fen suspected that his incomparably sensitive sense of smell was having some issues. He actually was unable to smell a single iota of the fragrance of food.
Taste…
Qin Fen tried a mouthful. He swallowed it with great difficulty, upon which he gave Enzo Rota a thumbs up. “Bro, congratulations to you. It’s been one day since you came here, and there is one ability that you surpass Drill Instructor Cook in already.”
