Swallowed Star: Food Shocks the Universe

There was nothing particularly noteworthy about the banquet. It was just the emperor and the officials who had regained their freedom reminiscing about the past and bonding with each other. Xue Xi found it boring, so she focused her attention on the food on the table in front of her.

Cakes and fruits were placed in high-legged golden basins, and a metal cup was placed beside each person. Two palace maids stood on both sides of each table holding a pot, pouring wine for the adults and juice for the female relatives.

Xue Xi picked up the cup and looked at the thick emerald green juice inside. She didn't know what fruit it was made from. Blinking her eyes, Xue Xi raised her head and drank the thin juice in one gulp.

A smell of grass filled her throat, but unlike the juice of grass that made her unable to swallow, it was like hawthorn, which whetted her appetite. Xue Xi couldn't help but say to the palace maid beside her, "More, more."

Just like that, when everyone was chatting with the emperor about family and state affairs, Xue Xi took a bite of a pastry and sipped a glass of juice, making those who noticed her couldn't help but twitch their lips.

But until the end of the banquet, there was no scene of the prince or princess slapping herself in the face. After all, the branch manager of the Virtual Universe Company sitting next to her was not a sculpture, and his deterrent power was still there.

In a blink of an eye, two and a half years passed quickly. During this time, Manluo was afraid that Xuexi would be lonely and do something weird, so she wanted to tie her to her belt and take her with her. From time to time, she found various excuses to take her to visit Black Dragon Star and the nearby prosperous planets, eating, drinking and having fun, and having a great time.

On this day, she was lying on a beach chair on a blue planet, with a seafood barbecue stall with smoke rising from it under the parasol.

The sizzling squid tentacles were brushed with chili powder made from the explosive fruit, and the mixed flavor of cumin whetted Xue Xi's appetite. On the sea in the distance, Man Luo caught a blue shrimp with the strength of a domain lord with one hand.

Placing 'small' lobsters several stories high on the beach caused the ground to sink quite a bit.

Man Luo wiped his beard, stretched out his hand and put a string of squid tentacles into his mouth. He did not use his divine power to resist and immediately started to choke on the spiciness: "Ha, it's really chewy and delicious! Girl, we have eaten all the high-level sea beasts on this planet. Do you want to go to another place?"

In the past two and a half years, he has felt another great pleasure in life, which is the improvement of his strength. After handing over the official duties to Mingyu, he has been enjoying it.

Just as Xue Xi was about to say something, the intelligent optical computer prompted that someone had sent her an email. After Xue Xi opened it, it was Luo Feng urging her: "Fourth sister, registration for the genius competition has begun, come quickly!"

Xue Xi sat up straight, raised her hand to take off her sunglasses, and said to Man Luo, who was wondering whether this blue shrimp should be braised, spicy, or garlic, "Grandpa Man Luo, the registration for the genius competition has started, let's go back!"

Man Luo's body trembled, and she said awkwardly: "Ah? Really? How about we deal with this shrimp first before leaving?"

After Xue Xi reluctantly braised the lobster for Man Luo, Man Luo smiled and put the dish into the Kingdom of God to preserve it carefully. After all, after Xue Xi participated in the Genius War, it would take many years before they could meet again.

With a sigh in his heart, he flicked his sleeves to release his spaceship and said to Xue Xi: "Let's go back to Black Dragon Star."

The vibrations of the spacecraft traveling through space resounded in the planet's atmosphere and disappeared after a moment. The planet had not changed except for the disappearance of a large number of high-level sea beasts. Only a simple barbecue facility remained on a beach somewhere, lingering an enticing aroma.

On the Black Dragon Mountain Island in the virtual universe, the Earth's foursome reunited. The list of the Universe's Top Genius Battle was displayed in the sky. All four had already signed up and were waiting for the Genius Battle to begin.

The top 1000 in the universe ranking will have three major rewards: first, they will receive a bonus ranging from 10 Hunyuan units to 1 Hunyuan units, depending on their ranking. Second, they will receive a place to enter the initial universe for enlightenment. Third, they can become a "core member" of the virtual universe company.

This is the reward for the Genius Battle. Xue Xi doesn’t care much about the bonus, but she is determined to win the initial universe and core members.

The selection battle for Qianwu Universe Country is about to begin, and Xue Xi is eager to try. She has not improved her strength for many years, and she can't wait to unlock the next recipe page.

The genius selection battle is divided into two stages. In the first stage, the top 1000 masters are selected from major cosmic countries.

In the second stage, the top 1000 masters from each universe country gather together, and all the geniuses from many universe nations gather together for the final decisive battle. Determine the top 1000 in the overall ranking of the universe.

The Qianwu Universe Congress will divide 100 worlds in the virtual universe, with 82 billion contestants in each world, and the preliminary elimination will be held here.

Lei Shen got his own world number, and he and Xue Xi and the other two started to show off: "I'm from District 88, how's that for Jixiang? How about you guys?"

Hong: "Area 72."

Luo Feng: “Area 1.”

Xue Xi: "Well, I'm in District 100. It seems that everyone is not in the same district. This is good. I can kill without restraint. Everyone should have confidence in passing, right?"

Thunder God's eyes seemed to be filled with electricity, and he stroked his chin with his thumb: "That's right, if I can't even make it through the preliminary elimination of Qianwu Universe, then wouldn't it be a waste for me to eat all those delicious foods from you, Fourth Sister? Just watch Second Brother slaughter everyone in there! Hahaha!"

Hong looked at Lei Sheng, who looked like he was invincible and didn't care about anything else, and shook his head: "Second brother, the universe is so big, you must remember that there are always people better than you, and there are always things better than you. You must not be careless when fighting."

Luo Feng clasped his hands together and said, "Me too!"

The speechless Thunder God was lectured by the eldest and third brothers. He turned to his fourth sister for comfort. Xue Xi lowered her head in thought and said, "Second brother, there is no big problem with the three eldest brothers. With their understanding of the laws, there are few rivals. But you are different!"

Lei Shen scratched his face and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with me? I'm just getting started with the Lightning Law, and I've also got some idea of ​​the Time Law. If I hadn't cut off your Cloud Mist Tea in the past few years, I guess your Time Law wouldn't be that bad either. You can't possibly fail to make it through the preliminaries, right?"

"It's not that we can't meet, but you need to ensure that you can still enter the top 1000 after losing half of your points after death."

Hong also became serious at this time: "Fourth sister, do you know any inside information?"

Xue Xi nodded: "There is a strong enemy nicknamed 'Savage' in Area 88. He has comprehended the laws of the origin of earth and space, so I advised my second brother to be careful."

The three of them understood immediately. Thor frowned and said, "Earth and space? They are indeed a tough enemy. I understand."

At this time, a countdown was heard on the Gathering Continent, and the four siblings encouraged each other: "Everyone, come on, see you in a month!"

After the ten-second countdown, hundreds of billions of contestants on the vast gathering continent disappeared, and Xue Xi was also teleported to a small wooden cabin in the mountains.

Her own pots and pans were placed on the table, and she was wearing a light green female armor that fitted her curves, and her physical strength level was uniformly at the ninth level of the star grade.

The change in the world zone made her feel a sudden increase in gravity. It took her some time to adapt. She looked down at the information on the intelligent light computer.

"Participants: Xue Xi (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)

Points: 0

Rank: None

World Area: 100th World Area

Points rules: Kill a player to get one point, and you can also get half of the opponent's points! So, you can get more points by killing the masters.

Ranking rules: The dead are still ranked. If the points are high enough, even if the death preliminaries are terminated and half of the points are lost, they may still be among the top one thousand and one. So please hurry up.

Serious reminder, everyone has only one life, after death the pre-selection stops and half of the points are lost. "

82 billion people gathered in one world area. Xue Xi was neither hurried nor slow. She put away the pots and spatulas, walked out of the cabin, raised her arms to block the glaring sunlight, and a wanton and arrogant smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"The genius battle has finally begun. I want the first place in the world zone. Even if the master of the universe comes, it will be useless. I say this!"
