Clang, clang, clang.
With Kuka sweating profusely, he mined all the ore in the mining area.
He carried his pickaxe back to the camp.
As soon as he entered the yard, he felt a blurry, ambiguous gaze fixed on his rear. Following the gaze, Rou Si, who was lying on the ground, blinked at him incessantly.
(๑˘₃˘๑)
Kuka’s small body trembled.
Contracting his gluteal muscles, he scurried to Chen Yu, who was sitting by the barbecue grill.
“Boss.”
Chen Yu was now racing against time.
There was too much meat.
He had to seize the opportunity to roast more meat, otherwise, it would affect subsequent transactions.
For this purpose, he specially prepared ten barbecue grills, roasting 80 servings of grilled meat at once. Even so, the raw meat in stock was piled up like mountains.
“You’re back?”
Chen Yu tilted his head and looked at Kuka, handing him a piece of grilled meat.
“Hard work. Have a piece?”
Kuka’s eyes immediately lit up.
He instinctively reached out, then quickly retracted his hand.
“Never mind, let’s wait until lunch and have it together then.” Kuka grinned.
His attitude surprised Chen Yu. Then, Chen Yu noticed that he was constantly and forcefully tucking his butt in.
“Why are you constantly tucking in your backside?”
“Boss, look at Lion,” Kuka muttered softly. “His eyes have been staring straight at me since this morning. I feel like my backside is not safe.”
“He’s just staring, he won’t dare to touch you. Relax, don’t panic.”
“I can’t relax!” Kuka said, clutching his backside and gritting his teeth. “I’m about to burst. Earlier, I thought I’d take care of it behind the mining area, but wherever I went, he followed. I don’t dare lift my backside curtain at all.”
“Pfft, hahaha…”
Chen Yu, who was roasting meat, burst into laughter.
“Boss, please don’t laugh. Can you keep an eye on him for me? I need to take care of this, I really can’t hold it any longer.” Kuka, still covering his backside, was on the verge of an outburst.
“Black Bean!”
Chen Yu called out loudly but found Black Bean was not in the camp.
He had wandered off somewhere again.
“Jack!”
Lion Jack yelped and ran over. Upon seeing Kuka, his eyes seemed to want to devour him.
(〝▼皿▼): Love rival!
Kuka, being stared at, felt wronged.
He was innocent.
He hadn’t done anything, yet he had caught Rou Si’s eye.
“Take Rou Si for a walk.” Chen Yu raised his wrist and checked the time on his watch. “In half an hour, we’ll eat.”
Hearing about the meal, Lion Jack’s eyes lit up.
He had been drooling at the smell of grilled meat for a while. Chen Yu hadn’t called for the meal, so he didn’t dare to approach.
Jack trotted off to find Rou Si for a walk.
Chen Yu also gestured towards Kuka with his chin.
“Go on!”
“Boss, you’re my biological father.” Kuka excitedly dropped his pickaxe, grabbed a scroll, and dashed out of the camp to take care of business.
Chen Yu continued to leisurely roast meat, occasionally checking his private messages.
His focus was on Jiang Ya Qing.
She still hadn’t messaged him.
Chen Yu was quite anxious.
Suddenly, he felt a gust of wind as if something had dashed past his side. Tilting his head, he saw Rou Si with red eyes, charging forward like a roaring tank, with Jack trailing far behind.
He was heading straight for Kuka, who was squatting.
Kuka, who was secretly squatting, was so terrified his eyes nearly popped out. Chen Yu also exclaimed and rushed over, delivering a kick.
Survival Camp.
Kuka was squatting by the barbecue grill, trembling.
Rou Si: (￣e(#￣)
Jack: (￣e(#￣)
“Oh my, why is your face swollen again?” Black Bean appeared in the camp, dragging a large golden chest. Hearing the commotion, Chen Yu walked over.
“Where did you get this?”
“Heh, you think a treasure chest can hide from Blacky’s nose?” Black Bean looked defiant, nudging his chin. “These two lovers are fighting, why aren’t they being lovey-dovey anymore?”
“Rou Si took a fancy to Kuka’s backside and made me beat him up. Jack got beaten up by Rou Si.”
Black Bean: ヾ(ﾟдﾟ)ﾉ Is the emotional entanglement in our camp this complicated now? Where is Kuka?”
“Isn’t he squatting over there?” Chen Yu pointed with his chin. “He’s scared stiff. If I hadn’t arrived in time, his backside would be gone by now.”
“Truly pitiful.”
Black Bean couldn’t help but gasp, patting the chest.
“Boss, open it!”
Seeing the golden chest, Chen Yu was no longer excited.
After leaving the jungle, Chen Yu had explored four more underground caves, and three of them had yielded golden chests.
He had been quite excited.
Who knew that opening the chest only revealed a chest full of gold coins.
Gold coins were good.
The problem was, he had nowhere to use them now.
Suddenly, Chen Yu’s nose twitched slightly, and his eyes widened.
It smelled like food.
〖Carrot smell, and it’s quite fresh〗
【It seems you can improve your diet today with stewed carrots. Would you like a recipe? ✧(≖◡≖✿】
〖What do you mean〗
【What’s wrong? You can do my work, can’t I do yours?】
〖???〗
【Are you about to explode with anger? Hee hee, explode with anger, la la la】
〖Immature〗
【Who are you calling immature? You’re not immature, you’re the most immature o(▼皿▼メ;)o】
〖Tsk~〗
Chen Yu: (o_o；)
So sudden?
Is the foodie spirit and the cave reminder starting to compete for tasks?
Oh my.
This is truly novel.
He was curious now, were other people’s watches also so anthropomorphic?
Others probably didn’t have a foodie spirit, right?
Chen Yu silently shifted his gaze and reached for the chest.
ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ
Open the chest!
This was definitely Chen Yu’s favorite thing to do.
What excitement could the meager resources from exploring caves offer compared to opening treasure chests?
A chest full of gold coins.
Chen Yu was already numb to seeing gold coins.
Fortunately, he still had something to look forward to.
【Cave Reminder: Carrots +50】
【Cave Reminder: Carrot Seeds +4】
【Cave Reminder: 100g Salt +2】
【Cave Reminder: 100g Pepper +1】
Please don’t give me 50x.
Please, just give me 40x.
No more 50x.
【Ding: Gluttony of the Foodie triggers, Food Greed Critical Hit 50x】
【Greed Critical Hit: Carrots +2500】
【Greed Critical Hit: Carrot Seeds +200】
Another 50x.
Actually, it doesn’t have to be a 50x critical hit every time. Constantly like this, he was afraid it would be a critical hit on his lifespan.
Clang.
2500 carrots were piled in the warehouse.
Chen Yu stored the seeds in Ilya’s bracelet.
A mountain of carrots.
Are you moved?
This was exchanged for lifespan!
Chen Yu’s food reserves had now reached an astonishing level. Ilya’s small bracelet could no longer hold it all.
Taking out a carrot, he bit into it.
Crisp and crunchy.
Chen Yu sat on the ground, propping himself up with one hand on his knee.
“Now that I have vegetables, I can’t do much, I don’t have a cooking pot,” Chen Yu muttered. Suddenly, Black Bean, with its little paws, pulled a blueprint from the pile of gold coins.
“Boss, look what this is!”
【Big Iron Pot Blueprint: The long-awaited big iron pot is here! Enjoy a delicious meal, braised carrots with beef, delicious！】
Chen Yu: (ヾﾉ꒪ཫ꒪)
He almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Actually, it was really unnecessary, this was truly going to kill him!
Despair.ing
