A desolate wasteland with unpleasant scenery.
Chen Yu released his survival base.
Failure!
After that, he explored two cave dwellings, one of which was a secret chamber. He wanted to take a gamble to see if he could find a treasure chest.
He didn't gamble successfully.
The small planting pot had not finished learning yet.
Chen Yu explored this place again.
He picked up 5 units of stone, and there was nothing else in the wasteland.
He didn't find any water.
He also didn't find any fire element crystal shards.
Was he being too greedy?
Chen Yu felt he wasn't very greedy. To put it simply, he just needed one bottle of water and one fire element crystal shard.
Chen Yu could critically hit the other 49 bottles of water himself.
"I saved someone, but ended up like this, not getting any resources. This makes it hard for me to do good deeds in the future."
Chen Yu muttered.
The planting pot also reminded him that learning was complete. Chen Yu decided to set up camp here, ready to have a good meal before continuing his afternoon exploration.
Before eating, he had to make a planting pot.
[Small Planting Pot: Production consumes 10/1 Soil, 46/2 Stone, production takes 10 minutes]
Click to produce.
[Cave Dwelling Reminder: Small Planting Pot being produced, remaining time 9:59]
While it was being produced, Chen Yu took out the white bread and ham he had just collected.
This was the reward for his auspicious start.
As a professional eater.
He always had to try new food he collected.
He took a bite with great anticipation.
The bread was dry, and the ham was not very flavorful.
The texture was really bad.
He was somewhat disappointed.
Chen Yu could now understand Jiang Yaqing's feelings.
Why she kept complaining about not buying anything.
And then buying roasted meat.
After eating roasted meat, it was hard to eat anything else. The psychological gap was too great.
White bread and ham were considered good food for other survivors, but for Chen Yu, they were merely trade goods.
Fortunately, he still had roasted meat.
He opened the box and took out 25 units of roasted meat, saving him the trouble of roasting it himself.
Rubbing his hands, Chen Yu took an excited bite.
Ugh!
As soon as it entered his mouth, Chen Yu spat it out.
"Why is it so unpalatable?"
Chen Yu looked at the roasted meat he had taken a bite of with disbelief.
The moment it entered his mouth, it tasted of oily smoke, and the meat was dry, completely different from the roasted meat Chen Yu made.
What was going on?
Shouldn't the meat here be delicious?
After a moment of thought.
Chen Yu suddenly froze.
He seemed to have realized a very important issue.
It was possible that the meat itself wasn't delicious.
It was his cooking that was delicious.
To verify this, Chen Yu took out matches and lit a campfire at his camp.
First, he took out the white bread.
He cut a few slices with his sword.
When he picked up the bread slices again.
[Exquisite Roasted Bread Slices: Exquisitely cooked, excellent taste, a rare delicacy in the cave dwellings]
Exquisite!
The bread slices had the prefix "Exquisite" after his processing.
He took a bite of the bread slices.
Wow!
The previously unpalatable white bread had been elevated.
Chen Yu looked at his hands in surprise.
Suddenly, he remembered his "Gourmand" talent.
Skilled at making various delicious dishes, the taste will not disappoint!
Will not disappoint.
His dishes were enhanced with deliciousness!!!
Chen Yu was too lazy to process the roasted meat from the box. Roasting it again would make the meat tough.
He didn't have a pot for stew.
And he didn't have enough water.
He would keep these boxed roasted meats and sell them later for supplies.
Since the bread slices could be processed, Chen Yu decided to make a delicious meal.
Rou jia mo (meat sandwich)!
He took a whole piece of forest wolf meat from the warehouse, placed it on the campfire, and took it down when it was roasted to a golden brown. He then placed it between two slices of bread.
Crunch!
Chen Yu took a bite.
Sage mode activated.
Delicious!
It was truly delicious.
A delicacy of the mortal world.
He felt like his soul was soaring to the heavens.
One bite after another.
Rou jia mo was much more delicious than eating roasted meat directly. Exquisite roasted white bread slices paired with exquisite roasted forest wolf meat offered double the deliciousness and double the enjoyment.
Not satisfied with one rou jia mo, Chen Yu prepared to make another.
As he lowered his head, his roasted meat was gone.
"Where's my meat?"
Chen Yu stood up in surprise.
There were two stone slabs on the campfire. He usually roasted two portions at a time.
He only put one piece of meat in the rou jia mo.
(T_T)? : "Where did my meat go?"
Chen Yu, looking around in confusion, couldn't find his meat.
He looked into the warehouse.
It wasn't there either!
He originally had 26 units of meat in his warehouse. Now there were only 24 units of meat left, proving that he had indeed roasted two portions of meat.
This is strange.
Chen Yu muttered. Although he was a bit bewildered, he took out two more pieces of meat and put them on.
The aroma of the exquisite roasted meat wafted through the air again.
Whoosh!
Just as Chen Yu placed a piece of meat between the roasted white bread slices, a black shadow darted out like lightning. Chen Yu saw this scene clearly.
A black cat.
Its movements were extremely fast. It grabbed the roasted meat with its claws and ran out with it in its mouth.
(T_T) ! : "You dare to steal my meat!"
Chen Yu grabbed his Xianfeng Sword with all his might. The moment he stood up, the black cat had already disappeared.
"The previous meat was definitely stolen by it too."
He took a deep breath, threw the Xianfeng Sword onto the ground, and began to eat his rou jia mo.
That black cat was indeed very fast.
He couldn't catch it.
Even recalling it, Chen Yu found it unbelievable. It rushed over, grabbed the meat, bit it, and then ran away. Everything happened in a flash.
Its movements were so proficient, it must be a repeat offender.
When he entered this cave dwelling space, his sense of smell had not alerted him to the presence of any wild beasts or animals.
Could it be that the black cat posed no threat to him?
So his sense of smell didn't alert him?
With the thought of giving that black cat a good scolding if he caught it,
Chen Yu transformed his grief and indignation into appetite.
The rou jia mo was finished. Chen Yu patted his belly with satisfaction after eating two portions of rou jia mo. He took out a bottle of water and looked at his water storage.
He had used some during his exploration and exchanged it for 800ml of pure water.
He now only had 8 bottles of water left.
"I need to make the water condenser as soon as possible."
Chen Yu muttered.
With the water condenser, he could truly stop worrying about water.
Gulp gulp gulp~
The small planting pot had also finished being produced.
It had no prefix when it was made.
It probably wasn't ranked.
Chen Yu entered the room, placed the black天天 seedling inside, and then covered the roots with soil.
[Black Tiantian: Growing]
Transplantation successful.
The branches and leaves of the black天天 in the planting pot drooped.
It could also be used as a potted plant.
There was some vegetation in the room, which made the room feel warmer.
Chen Yu looked at the planting pot again.
Vegetation should need fertilizer to grow.
Chen Yu opened the production page. He remembered that fertilizer could be made in there.
[Fertilizer (Bone Meal): 6/1 Animal Bones]
Produce.
There was no waiting time.
It was made instantly.
[Cave Dwelling Reminder: Obtained 1000g Bone Meal Fertilizer]
[Bone Meal Fertilizer: Fertilizer made from animal bones, can be used to fertilize crops, excellent effect, can be used 5 times.]
5 times, meaning 200g per fertilization.
He took out the bone meal fertilizer and sprinkled a handful into the planting pot.
[Black Tiantian: Growing (Fertilized)]
There was a suffix after fertilization.
This should indicate that no further fertilization was needed.
After fertilization, the black天天 showed no change.
Chen Yu felt that a step was missing.
Hiss!
Do I need to water it too?
