It’s broken.
Chen Yu shrugged as he looked at the hung-up call.
“Just looking at a bathtub, is that a big deal?”
Chen Yu muttered.
He was even called shameless?
If he were shameless, wouldn't he be two-faced? You can’t just ask for that.
“Were you just looking at a bathtub?” Hei Dou asked, holding a piece of cheese and wagging its tail. “You were clearly lusting after her body, you…”
Seeing Chen Yu raise his hand, Hei Dou forcibly swallowed the rest.
“You are mighty and majestic.”
“Consider yourself sensible.” Chen Yu snorted and said, “Why did you get another cheese? Didn’t you just eat three a few hours ago?”
“I saw there were more in the box.”
“How many.”
“About 16.”
Chen Yu nodded slightly after hearing this.
The critical hit multiplier was decent.
“Don’t eat too much, you’ll get fat if you keep eating cheese,” Chen Yu nudged towards Kuka’s side. “Go eat with Kuka, make him jealous.”
Hei Dou’s eyes widened instantly, a smile filling its small face.
“Got it!”
Holding the cheese, Hei Dou trotted away. Chen Yu also took out the blueprint Jiang Yaqing had just given him.
[Grill Blueprint: Cooking Daily Life Blueprint, Basic Energized Magical Facility, Prefix Affects Grilling Efficiency]
???
The blueprint Jiang Yaqing casually gave him was a magical facility?
“Learn.”
The blueprint in Chen Yu’s hand turned into a stream of light and burrowed into his wristband.
Having efficient learning made things easy.
Blueprints that took less than 3 hours to complete didn’t require any waiting.
He opened the crafting list.
The grill icon appeared within it.
[Grill: Fire Element Shard 15/1, Stone Material 295/5, Iron Block 59/5]
Craft.
In the crafting list, a "1" appeared next to the grill.
Retrieve from the list.
[Fine Grill]
Fine grade, not bad.
The grill was a stone pedestal forming a roughly half-meter-high square platform at the four corners, with a broken fire element magic array at the base.
Energy addition was also wood and Yin spirit.
The energy supply times were 2 hours and 24 hours, respectively.
That was reasonable.
The grill was smaller than the water condenser and the cheese maker, and naturally consumed less energy.
Its cooking efficiency was indeed a bit higher.
The iron grate could hold about eight pieces of 500g meat.
Ding.
You have received a gift from Jiang Yaqing.
Drying Rack Blueprint +1
Jiang Yaqing: "I couldn't find a wok for you, but you should be able to use the drying rack. You can make some dried meat, which is more convenient for storage."
Tsk!
No voice message, it was a bit unaccustomed.
Chen Yu: "Thanks."
Chen Yu: "Do you have any obsidian there?"
Jiang Yaqing: "What's that? I've never heard of it. I'll keep an eye out for you."
Chen Yu: "Jiang Yaqing, what exactly do you do? I feel like you have a lot of resources, and you even dare to take a bath. That's precious water resources."
Jiang Yaqing: "Mind your own business!"
Jiang Yaqing: "I'm going to take a bath, bye."
Chen Yu: "Can we video call?"
Jiang Yaqing: "Scram!!!! (Angry) (Cleaver)"
…
Chen Yu could almost feel the boiling rage emanating from the projection.
He shrunk his neck and knitted his brows.
Jiang Yaqing, not simple!
Even though Chen Yu hadn't dared to take a luxurious bath himself yet, she was willing to waste a large amount of water resources to bathe. Where did her water come from?
Or rather, could the magic bathtub automatically store water?
Then why didn't she sell it?
If it were Chen Yu, he would sell all the water.
Even if the water wasn't pure water, it would still be quite attractive to others in the cave dwelling.
Chen Yu didn't think that was very likely either!
The water condenser only condensed a drop of water every tens of seconds. If the magic bathtub was like a real bathtub, it would be too overpowered, and there would be no way to explain it.
It was possible that Jiang Yaqing was adding water to the bathtub.
“It would probably be quite satisfying to ‘raid’ her.”
Chen Yu licked his lips.
If he could drain her completely, strip her bare.
She would probably be richer than Kuka!
Unfortunately, the cave dwelling space was too vast. Chen Yu hadn't encountered any humans so far, only a merman and a ratman.
It was fortunate that Chen Yu had Hei Dou by his side, and now Kuka as well.
He could also have voice calls with Jiang Yaqing occasionally.
If others were living alone in the cave dwelling, how lonely would it be?
Even if they could chat in the area channel, it was still different from talking to someone face-to-face.
He took out the drying rack blueprint.
[Drying Rack Blueprint: Daily Life Blueprint, Efficient Air Drying, giving food a longer shelf life. You can also use it to dry clothes. Basic Energized Magic Blueprint, Prefix Affects Air Drying Efficiency]
Another magic blueprint.
Jiang Yaqing was indeed generous.
For Chen Yu, this blueprint actually came quite in time.
He had too much meat!
Although he now possessed Illya’s bracelet, the internal space was a bit small. Chen Yu couldn’t guarantee that he could fit all the food.
He didn’t want to roast everything.
It would be nice to have some dried meat occasionally for a change of taste.
Most importantly—
Making dried meat saved time.
Roasting meat required Chen Yu to constantly watch it, while dried meat only needed him to let it air dry.
“Learn.”
The blueprint turned into white light in Chen Yu’s hand.
[Drying Rack: Wind Element Crystal Shard 11/1, Wood Material 40/4, Copper Block 90/2]
“Craft.”
A "1" also appeared next to the drying rack in the crafting list.
He took out the drying rack.
[Excellent Drying Rack]
The rack was made of two 'Y' shaped wooden poles, with a round rod on top and 4 silver hooks below.
These hooks were used to hang meat.
Chen Yu placed the drying rack in the yard, and it automatically fixed itself. No matter how he pushed it, it wouldn’t fall.
When he wanted to move it, he could click on the camp to move it.
After looking at his reserve of wind element shards, Chen Yu made four more drying racks.
[Excellent Drying Rack]
[Excellent Drying Rack]
[Fine Drying Rack]
[Perfect Drying Rack]
…
Making four drying racks, two excellent, one fine, and one perfect, was an unexpected pleasant surprise.
He placed the few drying racks next to the camp and then took out 20 portions of mole meat, threading them onto the hooks.
Add fuel.
Chen Yu threw 1 Yin spirit into each of the 5 drying racks.
Chen Yu had plenty of Yin spirits now.
The wind blew gently.
This wind was generated by the drying rack's wind element magic array. Reaching out towards the area around the drying rack, one could feel winds of varying strengths acting upon the mole meat.
The efficiency of the perfect-grade drying rack indeed felt higher than the excellent and fine grades.
Taking two steps back, Chen Yu looked at his camp.
With the drying racks and grill placed, it had a bit of a homey feel.
This was the result of his hard work.
[Yin Spirit +1]
…
Huh?
How did another Yin spirit appear?
“Boss, look…”
Hei Dou walked over, dragging a mole corpse.
Seeing this, Chen Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.
“Kuka did it?!”
“Boss, you’re too awesome!” Hei Dou said with admiration. “Didn’t you tell me to take cheese to make him jealous? I deliberately squatted in front of him and ate cheese, making him drool. He started holding it in, and then he squeezed out a mole.”
“Second Brother, it’s coming again, it’s coming again!”
Kuka shouted. Hei Dou threw the mole corpse down and grinned.
“He’s getting all worked up.”
Hei Dou instantly ran over, and Chen Yu couldn’t help but smile knowingly.
That’s right!
Kuka was a horned mole.
Their kind loved cheese the most. In terms of attractiveness, cheese was many times more appealing than roasted meat.
It was good to squeeze out his potential.
If Kuka could break through his limits, it would be a good thing for him, and Chen Yu would be able to obtain more meat and Yin spirits in the future.
Nodding in satisfaction, Chen Yu returned to the butchery area to continue his work as a butcher.
[Greedy Critical Hit: Mole Meat +14]
[Greedy Critical Hit: Mole Meat +21]
[Greedy Critical Hit: Mole Meat +3]
…
Based on Chen Yu’s frequent decomposition triggering critical hits, he estimated his current critical hit multiplier.
It was likely in the range of 3 to 30 times.
He had never seen less than a 3x multiplier, nor more than a 30x multiplier.
He just didn’t know if Greedy Critical Hit could be upgraded.
