125 Fog Canyon (1/2)
Lin Huang slept from 4 a.m. to 11 a.m., he managed to catch up with some rest from their long journey last night. When he got out of his tent, he could still hear Fatty was still snoring loudly in his tent. Lin Huang then patted his tent, ”Fatty, wake up. If we don’t move now, we will be wasting yet another day.” Fatty continued snoring.
”Fatty, wake up. Monsters are attacking the cave! Quick!” Lin Huang shook Fatty’s tent hard.
Fatty sat up and went to get dressed instantly, then got out of the tent. He asked Lin Huang in shock, ”The cave entrance is blocked! How are we going to escape?!”
”Escape what? There’s no monster at all, I just needed to wake you up.” Lin Huang said casually.
”Damn you!” Fatty then took off his clothes and put them on properly. He was mad.
”Don’t you wear clothes when you sleep in a wild zone like this?”
”I can’t sleep when I’m fully clothed.”
Lin Huang did not bother to say anything. He then kept his tent and went to clean up.
The portable tent could be shrunk to the size of a broad bean. There was a tiny button in the middle and when it was pressed it would expand into a tent with a sleeping bag, pillow, and eye shade. As soon as the tent expanded to its normal size, one could scan their identity to enter it. The same applied when keeping the tent. As long as there were living beings in the tent, including a mosquito, the tent cannot be shrunk.
Because of that, some portable tents were much more expensive than the others as it came with automatic cleaning functions. As long as the tent is activated, it would automatically kill all the insects in the tent. The entire process would only take a maximum of three minutes. The tent that Lin Huang bought was a high-end tent, its price was comparable with a piece of bronze-level equipment.
After he sorted out his tent, Fatty approached him with a packet of snacks and a milk-based drink.
”It’s not safe to cook in a level-4 wild zone, we have to survive on snacks now.”
Lin Huang nodded and took the food from him. He brought snacks that he ordered from the network before the trip but he was sure that it would not taste better than the snacks Fatty had prepared.
He ripped open the packet of snack; besides dried meat, there was also dried vegetable. Lin Huang raised his eyebrow, ”I didn’t know that having a balanced diet was important to you.”
”I cooked the dried meat and my dad prepared the dried vegetable. He insisted that I bring it along. If you like it, you can have mine too.”
”I’ve never seen you eat vegetable during the assessment.” Lin Huang thought Fatty was a carnivore.
”A man once said ‘a man who doesn’t like meat is not a real man’.” Fatty got himself the perfect excuse for not eating any vegetables.
Fatty did not make that up. Lin Huang had actually seen the quote on the network before and thought it was ridiculous. It was said by a transcendent in the past to mock another transcendent that he despised. He then became a demigod and that was how the quote went viral.
”Loving meat and not eating vegetable are two separate matters. In your case, it’s called being picky.” Lin Huang corrected him. He tasted the dried vegetable, it was good.
Lin Huang was done with breakfast and Fatty had finished cleaning himself.
”What milk is this? It’s nice.” Lin Huang asked after drinking the last drop of milk-based drink.
”This is the milk of five-flower cow on the Snowy Mountains, it tastes amazing. I got it from my dad and I brought 10 bottles along with me. If I don’t treat you like my bro, I wouldn’t share this good stuff with you.”
Lin Huang had heard of the five-flower cow on the Snowy Mountains. They were one of the best cows in Division7. Although the monster was just iron-level, its milk quality was high that it was comparable to the price of a relic. It barely produces any milk though. It can only produce two to three liters of milk per day and each liter can only be sold up to a price of a bronze-level equipment.
That cup of milk that Lin Huang drank earlier was almost the price of two pieces of iron-level equipment. He initially planned to buy the milk as a thirst-quencher during the summer which was why he asked Fatty about it. However, after he was told that it was the five-flower cow, Lin Huang decided otherwise.
”I should have known that only rich brats could afford this…”
After breakfast, Lin Huang recalled the Demonic Dandelion Vine and the both of them got out of the cave. He then summoned Bai again,
”How many summoning monsters do you have?” Fatty asked.
”Three to four I guess.” Lin Huang said as he recalled Fatty had only seen four of his summoning monsters.
