Chapter 9 Delicious Snake
At this time, Cao Xing heard a sound of “Gurgling” in his ear.
It wasn’t him who sent it, but Liu Muxue on the side.
She was not a physically strong person to begin with, and she had just experienced another battle, which consumed a lot of energy.
It’s normal to be hungry.
Seeing Cao Xing’s gaze, Liu Muxue blushed and buried her head deeply.
“No, sorry…”
Cao Xing shook his head and said, “Sister-in-law, let’s go in first and prepare to cook.”
Liu Muxue nodded lightly.
Then, they got into the empty lord’s cabin.
If you want to cook, you must first build the stove.
So, Cao Xing directly found a corner, then clicked on the [Building] interface to start building.
[Whether to consume materials: stones*8, wood*4, to build a level 1 simple stove. 】
“yes.”
Cao Xing began to build according to the sketch given by the system.
Within a few minutes, a simple stove made of stones appeared in front of Cao Xing.
[Stove: Level 1]
[Defense value: 30]
[Occupied area: 1 square meter]
Cao Xing took out the initial equipment given by the system from the storage box, [Big Black Cauldron (White)]
Although this is just a big black pot, if it is decomposed, it can be broken down into two pieces of iron.
This time, Cao Xing planned to make a pot of snake soup first.
In this world of ice and snow, there is naturally no shortage of water.
Cao Xing only had to go outside, use a hammer to knock some ice cubes back, put them in the pot, and they would melt in a short while.
After the water boiled, Cao Xing threw two palm-sized pieces of snake meat directly into the pot.
These two pieces of snake meat are equivalent to 10 pieces of food, which is quite luxurious.
After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing threw in two more pieces of snake meat.
Ten minutes later, the rich aroma of meat began to permeate the entire cabin.
Liu Muxue, who was huddled aside, couldn’t help but raise her head, looked at the pot and swallowed her saliva.
“Sister-in-law, it’s almost done. Just wait a moment.”
Liu Muxue lowered her head in embarrassment and responded softly: “Axing, leave the cooking to me from now on…”
After hearing this, Cao Xing smiled and said: “You are a woman who will become a lord in the future. How can we do these things?”
“We don’t have enough manpower now. If we recruit more troops in the future, we won’t need to cook.”
After hearing this, Liu Muxue also showed a gentle smile, “Axing, you know so much.”
Cao Xing shook his head, “It’s nothing, I just play a lot of games.”
The sky outside became darker and darker.
The temperature also began to drop sharply.
Originally, after lighting the stove, the temperature in the room had risen to -11°C.
And now, it has dropped to -16°C in the blink of an eye.
The outdoor temperature reached an astonishing -50°C.
The cold wind howled, like a bone scraper, constantly passing over the bodies of the polar people.
At this temperature, it is impossible to work even if there is a campfire.
Unless you upgrade the bonfire into an energy tower later, you can get through it safely even if there is a snowstorm.
At this time, Cao Xing saw the territory interface, and several prompts appeared one after another.
[Your territory building [Lumber Mill] was successfully constructed. ][Your territory building [Market] was successfully constructed. ][Your territory building [Small Shelter] was successfully constructed. ] Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief,
The work he assigned to the four polar men was finally completed before dark.
So, he walked to the door of the lord’s hut and said: “Dazhuang, Erzhuang, you all can come over and eat.”
Four polar men swarmed into the lord’s hut.
Even Ilena curled up and squeezed in against the wall of the wooden house.
The lord’s cabin only had a total of thirty square meters of space, and it suddenly became very crowded.
Liu Muxue had already filled six wooden bowls with broth, with boiled snake meat still floating in them.
The eyes of the four polar men were shining, and their hands holding the wooden bowls were trembling.
But because Cao Xing didn’t speak, they didn’t dare to make any overstep.
At this time, Cao Xing came to the stove, picked up one of the wooden bowls and said, “Although it’s just the first day for everyone to get along, I’m very satisfied with your performance!”
“To reward you for your efforts, you can enjoy this pot of snake soup to your heart’s content.”
“So, let’s start enjoying the food!”
Then, they shouted at the same time.
“Praise the great Lord!”
“Praise the great Second Lord!”
After saying this, the four polar men drank the broth directly.
The sound of “GuluGulu” came.
After a while, happy looks appeared on the faces of the four polar people.
“God, I swear, this is the most delicious meal I’ve ever had in my life!”
“Er Zhuang, me too! I have never tasted such delicious broth underground.”
“Everyone, we must remember that all this is given by the lord, we must work hard and give back to the lord!”
“I am willing to go through fire and water for the Lord!”
The four polar people were deeply moved.
A system prompt appears.
[Your territory member: Da Zhuang tasted the delicious snake soup, and his loyalty to you has increased. Current loyalty: 85.]
[Your territory member: Erzhuang tasted the delicious snake soup, and his loyalty to you has increased. Current loyalty: 80.]
……
The favorability of the four polar people soared, all reaching above 80 points! Under this favorability level, they would basically do whatever Cao Xing asked them to do.
Cao Xing also noticed Ilena next to him.
Her hunger level has dropped below 50.
Ilena narrowed her narrow eyes, Nobuko kept spitting out, and seemed to be very eager to eat.
Cao Xing came to Ilena and asked, “Ilena, do you eat raw meat or cooked meat?”
Ilena spat out a scarlet letter, “Eat raw meat, respected lord.”
Cao Xing nodded. He was about to take out two pieces of snake meat from his backpack.
After thinking about it, Cao Xing put it back again.
So, he threw two pieces of the wolf meat he had just harvested to Ilena.
Elena bit it down and swallowed it.
She licked her lips and said with a satisfied smile on her face: “Thank you, Lord.”
[Your territory member: Ilena tasted the delicious wolf meat, and her loyalty to you has increased. Current loyalty: 71.]
Cao Xing noticed that Ilena’s hunger level increased by 10 points, and now only reached 60 points.
It’s not okay to continue like this. If you don’t reach the full state for a long time, your loyalty will also be reduced.
Ilena is powerful, but also consumes more food.
Cao Xing thought for a moment, then fed 4 more pieces of wolf meat, raising Ilena’s hunger level to 80.
“Thank you for your generosity, my lord.”
Cao Xing nodded. Fortunately, this time, they went out to hunt two snow wolves.
Otherwise, with Ilena’s appetite, the food stored would not be enough for them to survive for two days.
Moreover, Cao Xing also has a more powerful recruitment scroll: Frostwolf Warrior.
It is conceivable that by then, the daily food consumption of two guys with big appetites will reach astonishing figures.
“Starting tomorrow, I have to find a way to collect more food.” Cao Xing thought to himself.
Since it’s night now, I can’t work or go out to explore.
So, Cao Xing asked Ilena and the four polar people to return to their residence to rest.
After they left, the lord’s cabin became empty again.
As for Liu Muxue, she could only stay with Cao Xing until a new residence was built.
Liu Muxue seemed a little nervous at this moment. This seemed to be her first time in the same room with a member of the opposite sex.
However, Cao Xing had no extra thoughts.
Sitting in front of the fire, Cao Xing clicked on the [Chat Channel] on the system interface.
He wanted to see how the other survivors were doing.
Opening the [World Channel], an overwhelming amount of information suddenly came flooding in.
Lin Zixuan: “Cold! So cold! I’m freezing to death!”
Lawrence: “Oh God! What kind of world is this? Our family has run out of food and the bonfire is about to go out. Who can come and save us?”
Andre: “Damn it! There was a monster outside the camp, and it bit me!”
Fujiwara Akiko: “My husband has frozen to death. His body is so stiff and cold, woo woo woo…”
