Chapter 90: Upgraded Cooking

“It should start getting difficult. Let’s all heal up a bit.” Ye Cang indifferently smiled.

NalanMoon was somewhat doubtful. Heal up? Did they have some items?

GreenDew began to back away. ThornyRose and FrozenBlood inhaled sharply, then pretended to be calm. SpyingBlade’s calm face also showed a bit of agony. NalanMoon was stunned; that was the guy that could steal from the Falling Star Pavilion’s boss and then calmly walk into town to sell it, yet he looked agonized!? What exactly happened!?

Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le looked bitter.

“Monstrous bird?” FrozenCloud leaned over and whispered in a quiet voice.

“Nope. Today we’ll try eating rats. Don’t worry, it should be delicious.” Ye Cang said, determined.

FrozenCloud looked at the large rats on the ground and scowled. Eat that thing?

“Let’s loot the bodies first.” ThornyRose sighed and reminded them.

“I want to loot one!” Ye Cang shouted.

“Just pick one yourself to ruin.” ThornyRose sighed again, feeling helpless. Letting him ruin one wouldn’t do any harm.

Ye Cang looked at the 5 bodies and arrived at the one that he had pinned down. He reached out, felt around, and froze. “This monster’s drop rate is so low…”

“Brother Lil’White, I found a Excellent quality helmet and a skillbook!!” Lin Le pulled out two items from one rat and interrupted Ye Cang’s grumbling.

“Lele, always getting lucky and looting the bodies that have things. Hah~ Can I loot another one?” Ye Cang felt like he didn’t manage to win a prize at the lottery and saw someone who did. He longed to try again. He looked expectantly at everyone.

“Get lost!” ThornyRose said grumpily.

NalanMoon also looted one and conveniently got an Excellent quality item. The four in total gave them 5 Excellent quality equipment and a skillbook. A +3 physique iron and leather helmet which was taken by Zhang ZhengXiong. Ye Tian got an intelligence and wisdom one. The other 3, as well as the double strike skillbook were split amongst ThornyRose and NalanMoon. Then everyone got a bit of money.

Ye Cang took out his sword and began dismantling the bodies. Then took out his iron pot, and began boiling water.

Zhang ZhengXiong started the fire with a bitter face.

Ye Cang immediately added in three kinds of fish as well as werewolf meat and fishman meat. Then he threw in a pile of cave rat meat. He also added in some seasoning, some wild herbs, and some mushrooms. Finally he added in his secret ingredient, red and green slime gel. He smiled and looked at the others. “This is my secret cooking method, it needs to be slowly stewed over a small fire. It’ll definitely be delicious.”

NalanMoon was startled. Cooking and gathering? No wonder they leveled so fast, they saved so much healing time. It didn’t seem like normal cooking either. While Ye Cang was cooking, Zhang ZhengXiong took out his miner’s pick and started to mine at the surrounding walls. He got quite a few iron ores, copper ores, black-iron ores, as well as a few stones containing minerals.

NalanMoon looked over and watched Zhang ZhengXiong mine. They also had a miner!? This little team had everything. His class should be a defensive paladin. Earlier, she saw him cast a healing spell. She then became certain that those especially useful auras were also his. It gave a whole 8 physique. It even had defence and spell focus. At this stage of the game, auras like these were too rare. Wherever he went, people would fight over him.

Just at this moment, an earth-shattering stink interrupted her thoughts. She suddenly turned and looked towards the boiling pot. She thought she heard the sound of food screaming and howling. It was the stink of rotting rats in a hot environment, then increased multiple folds. Hidden under it was an explosive odor. There was no ventilation here, it felt like the whole room was the iron pot. It was like they were all in the same container as the soup. The odor continued to increase in strength.
