Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating

Chapter 48 - Perfection-grade Awakening Pill



Chapter 48: Perfection-grade Awakening Pill

In the small house,

Lu Yu and his family continued with their meal.

Lu Shan and Lu Shui stared at their own parents while eating, with a baffled look on their faces.

“What are you two staring at?” Giovanna, who had just regained her youthful looks, felt very uncomfortable at their reaction.

Still puzzled, Lu Shui nonetheless smiled and said, “Dad, Mom, you two look so young now. Believe it or not, I think if you two go outside now, people will think you are my brother and sister, and not my parents! Especially since Dad is now at the grand old age of 90. Hahaha!”

Giovanna listened to her, then took a look at Lu Yu before peering at herself again. That girl seemed to have a point.

As Lu Yu practiced and evolved to higher levels, he had become younger by a lot. Now that she had consumed the Beauty Sustaining Pill, she had become a lot younger too.

Now the two of them did appear to be of similar age to their own children on the surface.

At this moment, Lu Shan suddenly pressed close and asked with curiosity, “Dad, you got presents for Mom. Did you get anything for us?”

Lu Shui sneaked a look at her Dad, her face full of anticipation. However, she was too tactful to ask so directly.

Lu Yu gave Lu Shan a knock on his head in mock irritation, then smiled and said, “That’s all you can think of. Just eat your food properly and train hard. There are no shortcuts in life, understand?”

“Okay!”

Lu Shan sighed in disappointment, and carried on eating.

......

Halfway through their meals, Lu Yu suddenly dropped this piece of news on them, “After you two finished your meals and have done the washing, I will give you.”

In an instant, Lu Shan and Lu Shui became very excited.

Following that, they rapidly wolfed down their food.

They then sat there, watching Lu Yu and Giovanna, waiting impatiently for them to finish eating. They wanted to quickly wash up the dishes in order to get their presents.

“Mom, eat faster! Hurry up, hurry up!” Lu Shan urged her along impatiently.

Beside him, Lu Shui was also very eager, but she exercised more self-restraint. She laughingly scolded, “Lu Shan, what’s the use of rushing? Dad has already prepared the gifts for us. It doesn’t matter when he gives them to us, they are still our gifts nevertheless!”

“That’s right!” Giovanna chided him. “I am in a good mood today. Why can’t you just let me enjoy my meal a little longer?”

In a short while, Lu Yu and Giovanna finished their meals.

Lu Shui hurriedly cleared the table while Lu Shan rushed through the washing.

Giovanna looked at the two of them and shook her head with a smile, saying, “How wonderful it is if you two are as enthusiastic as you are now when you are doing housework or training on normal days!”

Very soon, Lu Shan and Lu Shui completed their chores and even cleaned up the kitchen until it was spick and span. Thereafter, the two of them stood there staring at Lu Yu.

Seeing their eagerness, Lu Yu decided not to keep them in suspense anymore. He took out 2 small boxes.

The sandalwood boxes were exquisitely crafted. The moment he took them out, the two children’s eyes were transfixed on them.

“Dad, what’s this? Tell us, quickly!” Lu Shan urged impatiently.

Lu Yu simply opened the 2 boxes in response.

There was 1 pill inside each of the exquisite sandalwood boxes.

The pills were totally black, pure and flawless.

Lu Shan and Lu Shui immediately huddled together for a closer look, curiosity written all over their faces.

“Dad, what’s this?” Lu Shui was completely clueless and asked again.

Beside her, Lu Shan seemed to recognize the items. He exclaimed in shock, “Dad! Is this the Awakening Pill? I have seen one of my classmates take this pill before. But how come yours look so pure and flawless? It appears to be more powerful than the one my classmate took. Is it an Intermediate-grade Awakening Pill?”

When she heard that these were the Awakening Pills, Lu Shui was taken aback too. She didn’t recognize the Awakening Pills, but she had heard of them.

Even the lowest grade Awakening Pills were extremely expensive, and only people from wealthy, influential families could lay their hands on one.

For ordinary middle-class families, they would have to exhaust their entire family fortune before they could even get one.

The Awakening Pills were so precious precisely because they were extremely potent resources.

As long as the pill was consumed before the age of 20, the user would be able to achieve awakening at the Martial Arts Warrior level. There were no side effects, yet the pill could change a person’s life totally.

After all, it could determine whether one was able to embark on the path of a martial arts practitioner. The difference was as vast as heaven and earth.

If one could not embark on the path of a martial arts practitioner, he would be a nobody for the rest of his life.

No matter how remarkable his achievements in other aspects were, no matter how much contribution he made to humankind or the Federation, at the end of the day he was still an ordinary person. At best, he was comparable to a low-level Martial Arts Warrior.

For a regular martial arts practitioner, as long as he trained hard, he would still have a chance of reaching high levels thereby elevating his stature. His future would be unlimited.

The higher the grade of the Awakening Pills, the better the effect. However, with the increase in grade, the price also multiplied many times.

For ordinary families, it was already an amazing feat to get hold of low grade Awakening Pills.

Only those rich and powerful families could have a chance to get hold of high grade Awakening Pills.

“Dad, is this really the Awakening Pill? What grade is it?” Lu Shui asked Lu Yu excitedly.

Lu Yu replied with a smile, “Perfection-grade.”

“What? Perfection-grade?” Lu Shan, Lu Shui and Giovanna all stared at him in disbelief.

One could not simply say that the Perfection-grade Awakening Pills were very expensive, because the truth was, they were so rare that they were priceless.

No matter how rich an ordinary person was, he would never be able to get one. Only those movers and shakers of society would be able to get one.

This item was so precious precisely because it could produce an incredibly astonishing effect.

It could not only send the user straightaway on the path of the martial arts practitioner with zero side effects, he would become a Martial Arts Warrior instantly.

If the user had better luck, he might even jump straight to Martial Arts Warrior Grade 2 or 3, bypassing Grade 1 completely.

Besides this, and this was the most critical part, this Perfection-grade Awakening Pill could increase the user’s innate talent by leaps and bounds.

It was rumored that anyone who took the Perfection-grade Awakening Pill before the age of 20 could at least reach the level of Martial Master in future if he trained and practiced hard.

Giovanna was flabbergasted. She asked, “Old man, where did you get these Perfection-grade Awakening Pills? And you got 2 of them too!”

With regard to Awakening Pills, Giovanna was well aware of their properties.

When she gave birth to Lu Shan and Lu Shui, she and Lu Yu had done some research on these pills, thinking that they could buy some for their kids.

However, these pills were simply too expensive. Even if they exhausted their entire family fortune, they couldn’t even procure a single low grade pill. In the end, they simply gave up.

Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that Lu Yu could get hold of the Perfection-grade Awakening Pill, and 2 of them no less.

As Lu Yu listened to them, he smiled and replied, “These were also given to me by the Patriarch of the Song family. In the battle where the Fearsome Beasts attacked the city, I saved his precious daughter’s life. He wanted to thank me, and that’s why he gifted me so many wonderful items.”

The three of them finally understood after listening to Lu Yu’s explanation.

Lu Yu then turned towards Giovanna and said, “This Awakening Pill must be consumed before the age of 20 in order to take effect. It will not have any effect on you. I will think of some other way to get hold of something that can help you embark on the path of the martial arts practitioner too. Please wait a while longer.”

Giovanna was very touched by his reassurances, and she began to look forward to that possibility.

Although she had taken the Beauty Sustaining Pill, it could only preserve her youthful looks, but it did not mean she would stop growing old. In the end, she would still die of old age.

If she could also become a martial arts practitioner, then the possibilities would be endless.

At that point, she could then continue to accompany Lu Yu and her two children.
