Soylent

Since LittleMaster bought a bottle of Soylent from a high-level mage at a high price, he has fallen in love with this thing.

When LittleMaster was still in heaven, he often hung out at the West Lake District library.

At that time, it was scorching hot in July, and as a GuoJia building, there naturally was an industrial-grade cooling device.

So it became a holy place for LittleMaster, who would often sit there all day long.

Before, LittleMaster’s magical energy could only last for a maximum of 1 hour.

But after he spent a fortune on a ‘R, 13-inch, Mid 2013’, he had no problem for several hours, and he could spend that time reading books or chatting with girls.

But the library was small and always crowded with citizens of heaven, so no matter if it was a weekend or a weekday, it would open at 8:30 am and there would be no place for LittleMaster to stay after 9 am.

So how to recharge himself became a major problem. If he left for lunch and came back, it would be crowded and he would feel like he was searching for a seat at the magic academy.

So if he had this thing at that time, it would have been great. He could buy a 1L cup, bring along 750ml of the powder, and add the purified water provided by the library. He could sit there for as long as he wanted.

LittleMaster once calculated the time:

// [preparing, cooking, eating, washing dishes]
let standardTime = [10, 30, 15, 10.0]
let factor = [0.5, 1, 0.7]

let totalTime = standardTime.reduce(0) { $0 + $1 } * factor.reduce(0) { $0 + $1 }

So he lost nearly three hours a day.

So LittleMaster often fantasizes about the day when mages can recharge their magical tools and recharge themselves physically through physical contact. SC2’s transport aircraft is an example, and it’s even long-range.

Sometimes he feels frustrated that Soylent doesn’t come with the ability to recharge its users.

But Soylent is a great solution to these time-consuming steps.

Especially after upgrading to 2.0, he doesn’t even need a shaker cup.

And the old version 1.5 is currently priced at $54, plus $100 shipping fee, even with the exchange rate soaring, it costs just over 20 bucks per meal.

However, Soylent has three big problems:

1. Taste
2. Nickel and mercury exceeding Canadian standards
3. Raises blood sugar levels

The ability to solve problems is usually the product of meticulous and systematic thinking. Any talented person can acquire this ability.

China is known for its delicious food, so it has raised many food lovers.

But LittleMaster, who has been trained in cooking by his mother for 18 years, is no longer interested in plain rice.

Beijing, the capital city, is a difficult place to live in, in terms of food.

The last problem is difficult to handle. Soylent provides satiety, but there’s no chewing sensation.

Also, as a liquid food, it can only stay in the stomach for about ten minutes, whereas regular food takes several hours.

In short, you can only transform it, not digest it.

So for breakfast, LittleMaster has latte and eggs; for lunch, he has gutter oil; and for dinner, he has Soylent.

In total, he consumes one box of Soylent every month.

During the Chinese New Year, LittleMaster didn’t go home, so he was afraid the supermarket would be closed and he stocked up on a box in advance.

After he reluctantly drank half a cup, he looked at his weak chicken meat and felt that he should supplement it with some real meat.

He opened the app he often uses to browse, and happily found that canned beef was on sale. He was about to place an order when he suddenly noticed four big words next to it: “For dogs only.”

Hmm, this must be the result of long-term feeding on Soylent.

LittleMaster analyzed this with his stomach.
