A Stay-at-home Dad's Restaurant In An Alternate World - Chapter 1322

Chapter 1322: I Am Willing To Eat Crayfish Every Day, Nonstop Even!

“I seemed to have seen the beauty of my life within this crayfish,” Justin said blissfully as he opened his eyes before he reached out to twist the crayfish’s head off, and sucked out all the glistening crayfish butter. The smooth crayfish butter filled up his mouth, and sent the taste buds into a revelry once again. He even ate the shell.

Doo, doo, doo.

Followed by some trembling, the gray rock surface on Justin’s body began to fall off like sheds, and a new dark gray rock shell was revealed.

“Is this? The first successful evolution?” Gemina, who was about to punch Justin again, stared at Justin’s new stone shell in astonishment. There was a tinge of red among the dark gray.

“He has changed his shell!” Ivan, who was in the midst of reaching out, was stunned too. He, too, was staring at Justin with surprise. He was only 10 years old, and usually rock trolls would only change their shells at 15 years old for the first time. Only a few geniuses would change their shells in advance.

“Change my shell?” Justin didn’t quite understand the meaning of it. He clapped his hands to dislodge the dried mud powder on them before reaching out for the crayfish again. This crayfish was simply too delicious. A life that he could enjoy such scrumptious food was simply too blissful. If only this bliss could continue forever.

“Maybe it has something to do with this prawn.” Gemina and Ivan looked at each other. They knew very well about Justin’s talents. Both of them only changed their shells at 15, and had very normal aptitude. Justin, too, had never shown any special talents since he was young. He was even a little slower than other kids, so he couldn’t possibly be a genius.

Therefore, the only plausible explanation was the prawn that their neighbor gave them.

After eating a pincer and the crayfish butter, Justin suddenly changed his shell. They didn’t believe that these two had no relationship.

“You should try it too, Mother. This grilled crayfish is really very delicious.” Justin twisted a section of the most succulent meat off, and put it next to Gemina’s mouth.

The aroma of the meat assailed her at a close distance, and brought on boundless temptation. Gemina, who wanted to push away the meat, opened her mouth uncontrollably.

The teeth that could easily crush rocks sensed a special chewy reaction when the crayfish meat entered the mouth. A gentle bite released the succulent taste in the mouth, and the clumsy taste buds began to become active beyond the norm. As if they wanted to taste each and every taste once, they accommodated the blossoming of the taste.

“This taste! How could there be such a marvelous taste in this world!” Gemina’s face was full of shock. The giant turtle in her mind was crushed into a flat pancake by a huge red crayfish. Her body and soul were completely conquered by the crayfish at their very first meeting.

“My sea t-turtle… The difference is simply too vast…”

After being conquered, the disappointment with her own culinary skills soon followed, and Gemina sighed. The turtle stew that she was so proud of couldn’t even be called food.

“Dear, please give me another bowl of your turtle stew. Today’s soup is so delicious. I think that your culinary skills have improved again.” Ivan passed his bowl to Gemina, who looked devastated, with a chuckle.

Gemina peered at Ivan. Her nose scrunched up when she saw the smile on his face, and she scolded him with a smile, “Don’t you have hands? Why should I scoop for you?” However, she still picked up the ladle and scooped a big bowl of soup for Ivan, and even added in a big piece of turtle leg.

“How is it, Mother? Isn’t this crayfish super delicious?” Justin asked Gemina smugly. He had finally proven that his thinking was correct. The food that others made was simply nicer than the one his mother made. Turtle stew was the most yucky food in this world.

“Brat, the turtle stew is so scrumptious. Do you know many demons from our tribe envy us? This crayfish is only a snack. Don’t tell me you intend to have it as a full meal.” Ivan slapped Justin on his head as he gave him a look. His gaze also became more severe.

Justin’s head smacked into the table. Although it wasn’t painful, tears of aggrievement were already forming in his eyes. He dared not complain as he looked at his parents who resembled two mountains. He could only nod his head aggrievedly. “Turtle stew is delicious.”

“Let’s eat and finish the rest.” Gemina reached out to pat Justin’s head, and gave him the remaining half of the crayfish.

“Is this going to be my last meal?” Justin said with fear as he held the crayfish. There had to be something wrong when things were abnormal. His mother’s attitude had changed too dramatically.

“You don’t want to eat it, is it?” Gemina’s expression became cold.

“I want to!” Justin stuffed the crayfish including its shell into his mouth and chewed it crunchily. He enjoyed it very much.

Justin quickly finished the crayfish. He licked his fingers, wishing that he could have more. However, there was only one, and it wasn’t enough.

Gemina pulled Justin’s hands over to have a closer look. Compared to previously, the redness in the grayish-white stone shell was even more obvious. The red resembled the red on the crayfish’s shell.

“It wasn’t this hard when I first shed my shell.” Ivan, too, reached out to pinch those protruding shells on Justin’s back. Suddenly, he retrieved his hand, and exclaimed, “Why does it sting? And it felt a little numb.”

Gemina didn’t pay any attention to Ivan. Instead, she asked, “Justin, do you have any special sensation after changing your shell?

“Sensation?” Justin stood up and clenched his fists. “I think I have become stronger?”

“Let’s punch it for a test.” Gemina pointed to a giant rock that was almost as tall as a man in the garden. It was a rock they used to train Justin normally, and it was filled with holes left behind by punches.

Justin walked over, and took a deep breath before clenching his fist and punching the rock.

Crack.

There was only a soft sound, and a crack began to appear on the giant rock with the fist as the center point. The giant rock split in two and fell to the ground.

“W-why am I so formidable?” Justin stared at the giant rock that he smashed up in disbelief.

“He has indeed reached the potential after the first shedding. Moreover, this new layer of stone shell seems to have some mutation.” Ivan smiled after he glanced at the giant rock.

“That’s fantastic. Our son is going to be the rare genius of the rock trolls,” Gemina said with amazement as well. Mutated stone shells were extremely rare among the rock trolls. Once one appeared, they would definitely leave their names in the history books.

“Genius?” Justin was startled, and he asked with uncertainty, “Didn’t you guys always say that I am a rare idiot among the rock trolls?”

“Could Justin’s sudden evolution have something to do with the crayfish?” Ivan brought up his doubts and speculations.

“It’s possible.” Gemina nodded. If eating the turtle soup had been able to let him evolve, he wouldn’t have only evolved today.

“In order to verify your speculation. I am willing to eat crayfish every day, nonstop even!” Justin said with conviction.
