Chapter 1348 The Potential of Mirage

New plates and new tableware were placed in front of Shangluo.

According to Shangluo’s request, a plate of southeastern snack called “burnt grass jelly” was also placed on it.

To some extent, this burnt grass jelly is also the thing that is closest to the essence of mirage.

Shaoxiancao is made from jelly grass. After picking and washing the stems of jelly grass, add water and boil them to get the liquid medicine, add some tapioca flour or other starch, it can be condensed into gel.

Similarly, a clear white gel can be extracted from seaweed such as agar-agar.

This gel can be shaped into many shapes, its properties change with the container, and its taste changes with the seasoning. Its interior is mainly composed of water and a small amount of starch, of which more than 90% is water.

Although it is almost entirely water, with the help of extracts of jelly grass and agar-agar, something that is almost entirely water can be made into a snack. It has its own shape, its own color, and through different combinations, it can also have its own taste.

This is indeed the same thing as a mirage.

Perhaps because the principles are so similar, or perhaps because it was prepared by Otohime herself, the taste of this grass jelly is particularly good.

"Another bowl please."

"Okay." Otohime bent down slightly and sprayed out another plate of grass jelly with a bowl from the spray paint.

“Actually, you don’t need a bowl.”

"The blueprint sets this grass jelly to come with a bowl. Maybe it's to reduce the judgment. You can use this bowl to do other things after you finish eating."

"I don't dare eat from a mirage bowl! It's okay to eat snacks like this. What if I pour a cup of hot tea in it one day?"

"Oh, actually this bowl is very obvious." Otohime held the bowl and showed it to him, "Look, there is a fighting cock on this bowl. Just don't bring the same bowl with you."

"Okay." Shangluo shook his head. "But isn't it redundant to make an empty bowl every time? Look, there are so many people here."

"Are you going to let everyone eat food made by Mirage?"

"I think there's nothing wrong with it." Shangluo replied, "Look, if you add the chef's steamed buns, the mirage dishes can just balance out the real steamed buns - steamed buns can provide daily needs, but they are too monotonous for the appetite. The mirage has no effect at all, it's almost the same as eating agar, but the taste can be extreme. Add the two together, and you can just dip the steamed buns in the mirage and eat it."

“That’s not impossible.”

"In fact, I have discussed this with your father. He has always been supportive of our promotion of the use of mirage gas. He even wants to pull a pipeline ashore to directly transport mirage gas to the land, and then use it widely in various industries."

"Ah, I knew it was him. He really has been trying his best to sell the things from the Dragon Palace. But supplying mirage is not cheap."

"Using mirage gas can reduce our logistics pressure." Shangluo replied, "Now the price of goods itself is not important, but the transportation volume has become a huge bottleneck. If all our people here rely on transport ships to provide meals, it will create a lot of waste. Because the properties of food are irregular, they need to be packaged separately. It is more convenient to directly send a large jar of mirage gas." "Okay." Yiji thought for a while, "You are indeed right."

Otohime is actually much more conservative than her father. Using mirage as a consumer product is absolutely unacceptable in the past culture of Ryugu. After all, mirage is a symbol of the mystery of Ryugu. If even mirage is sold directly as a consumer product, the secrets of Ryugu may be cracked. This may destroy the future of Ryugu.

However, in her competition with her father, Ao Zang was undoubtedly the winner. At that time, helping Shangluo was to be loyal to the court, and being loyal to the court was the right thing to do. Although this does not mean that Yi Ji did something wrong, Ao Zang directly used the court to imprison Yi Ji and physically eliminated many of his enemies.

For example, Guiji is still being held in Shangluo and has not been released yet.

After solving all these problems, Ao Zang completely gained control of the Dragon Palace. After that, selling the mirage became a natural thing.

As the loser, Otohime had no right to be picky. She had no choice but to obey.

Besides, this was indeed helpful to Shangluo. She didn't think of Shangluo as "the same species". If anything, Shangluo was more like an alien in her eyes, and so was she to Shangluo. It was just that they had the same body.

Although she knew that Ao Zang's behavior would bring danger to the Dragon Palace, the specific situation could also be analyzed specifically. Shangluo was obviously the type who could be dealt with.

"Okay." Otohime nodded, "I will sell the mirage gas to you. And it is true that transporting gas tanks is much more convenient than transporting entities. But then again, there are some issues that need to be explained, such as this bowl. I can't do anything about it."

“You can’t modify it?”

"Yes. Because this is actually the power of Princess Mirage. You also know that among the many clans in the Dragon Palace, the Mirage Clan is the one that controls the Mirage Qi, otherwise it would not be called Mirage Qi. Including these dragon balls carrying the blueprint - they are called dragon balls, but they are actually Mirage Pearls, and they are also made by the Mirage Clan."

If there is no way to modify the blueprint, then you can only use the existing blueprint. For example, if you eat a roasted grass jelly, an extra bowl will appear.

"So why do you have to add a bowl?"

"In fact, it is out of comprehensive considerations. Because if you don't add a bowl, you need to measure the shape, position, and state of the grass jelly. Instead of designing it so complicated, it is better to encapsulate the whole thing in a bowl. You can see that many other things are designed in this way."

"It seems that I still have to invite Mirage Princess up to achieve Mirage Air Freedom, right? Have you caught Mirage Princess?"

"As of the time I came up, Mirage Princess was still on the run."

"Then change one! You don't only have one reserve, do you?"

"You want to change Mirage Princess??? Ah this. Ah this this this this this this" Otohime was suddenly stunned.

"What's wrong? Did I ask anything wrong?"

"Because according to the tradition of the Dragon Palace, princesses like us must have a human form when we are selected. But I can't say what this human form is. I can't say. But if you are willing, you can discuss it with the Dragon Palace later. It's okay, you won't lose weight. I will probably ask for a seal of approval from you and make some formal confirmation."
