Chu Guang immediately found an ax and chopped the joint of the split-claw crab's hind legs into a section that was almost as long as a baseball bat.
Not to mention, these crab legs look quite solid, thick and long. They weigh at least six or seven kilograms, which is enough to feed two or three people.
The white crab meat is dangling inside the crab shell. It looks as tender as tofu and is full of high-quality protein and fat.
This big guy looks so ugly from the outside, and the mud all over his body looks like it can't be washed away. Unexpectedly, the crab meat inside looks quite good.
As he happened to have no lunch, Chu Guang randomly selected a passing young player and asked him to call Crow Crow into the sanatorium.
Before Yayao could ask her what happened, Chu Guang handed over the crab legs in his hand and gave her a look at the crab meat.
"Can I eat it?"
Crow Crow looked confused and nodded blankly.
"Uh, it should be possible?"
I didn't see any green.
However, how can we rest assured if we just say nothing?
Chu Guang, who had always acted cautiously, continued with a commanding tone.
"Take a taste."
That demeanor seemed like a gift.
Just like the NPCs guarding the resurrection points in other games.
But the gifted players don't think so.
Seeing that the manager was about to stuff the crab legs into his mouth, Crow Crow quickly backed away and waved his hands, dumbfounded.
"Wait, wait a minute! This is a raw duck! Let me eat it after you cook it?" She didn't resent the manager's tougher attitude, after all, he was not a real person.
Gan!
Why bother with so much in the game?
Just eat if you are told to, just open your mouth and take a bite.
I didn't expect this little player to be so particular. But Chu Guang thought about it and felt that what she said seemed to make sense.
Freshwater crabs are different from deep-sea crabs. There are many parasites in the freshwater environment, so it is not advisable to eat them raw.
After all, not being poisonous doesn’t mean you won’t have diarrhea after eating it, it just means you won’t die after eating it for a while. This is just like no matter how strong your physique is, there is no need to pick up unclean things to eat, right?
Thinking of this, Chu Guang no longer pressed, but changed his mind and said.
"I'll give you a task."
"What, what mission?"
Crow Crow's face was full of suspicion and vigilance, and he always felt that the word "mission" was full of conspiracy.
However, Chu Guang didn't bother to explain at all, and just forced the crab legs as long as a baseball bat into her hand.
"The content of the task is very simple. First of all, step 1, you go and cook this crab leg... This is 2 copper coins. Take it to the warehouse to buy some charcoal."
It seems that this task will be triggered step by step.
Although he always felt that there was a trap, as a player, Yaya couldn't resist the temptation of the "exclusive mission" in the end. He took the "mission props" of 2 copper coins given by Chu Guang and ran away.
Went to the warehouse to buy charcoal.
Soon, Crow Crow came back with the charcoal he just bought.
I saw her carefully finding an airtight empty room on the first floor of the nursing home, squatting in the corner and making a small circle with stones.
Then put the charcoal on it, light the fire, and start roasting the crab legs while humming a song.
While Crow Crow was roasting crab legs, Chu Guang was standing at the door waiting boredly, his thoughts drifting away.
By the way, why can’t cockroaches eat scavengers, but crabs can?
Will...
Is it actually edible?
It's just that no one has tried it.
While he was puzzled, his eyes unconsciously drifted to Crow Crow's back.
By chance, the shell of the crab legs on the fire was roasted and cracked, making a "pop" sound.
The sudden sound startled Crow Crow, who was concentrating on roasting crab legs. His neck and shoulders shrank back reflexively, but he didn't sense anyone's bad intentions.
Chu Guang walked into the room and looked at the crab legs in her hand.
I saw that the mud-green crab shell had been baked into a circle of black and waxy red, and a small crack was opened in the center of the shell.
Silks of white water vapor and bubbles came out of the cracks, and the fragrance that had been suffocated in the shell for a long time filled the whole room in an instant.
"Wow...it smells so good."
Crow Crow sniffed and swallowed greedily.
By the way, this looks tastier than king crab.
The key is that she has eaten king crab before, but not this!
"Is it baked?"
Hearing the urging from behind, Yaya came to his senses and realized that he was still on task, and quickly stood up with the crab legs.
"Dear manager, I have completed the task you assigned me!"
"very good."
Taking the roasted crab legs from Crow Crow, Chu Guang waited until they were no longer so hot, then broke them in half from the middle and gave her half.
"Eat it."
"yes!"
Who would say no to cooked food?
Crow Crow obediently took the crab leg with both hands, stuffed it into his mouth and carefully took a bite. When he found that it was not hot, he immediately devoured it all, and then looked up at the manager expectantly.
Chu Guang did not speak, but waited quietly for a while. Seeing that there was no toxic reaction, he took a taste of the portion in his hand.
The aroma of crab meat spreads between your lips and teeth.
Although it has a bit of an original fishy smell, it does not affect the tenderness, smoothness, and chewy texture at all. It is also in line with Mr. Shuren’s words, high-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods.
One word to describe it, extremely delicious!
Especially for Chu Guang, who had eaten dried meat and dry food for too long, this bite of crab meat simply rekindled his desire for delicious food.
The only fly in the ointment was that when he took out the crab legs just now, he discovered that the split-claw crab was actually a male and had no roe.
It's a pity that we can only eat crab legs.
"good."
Chu Guang nodded after chewing his mouth carefully, then took another expressionless bite, and then took a second... countless bites.
Don't say it yet.
This thing is really getting better the more you eat it.
It would be even more beautiful if you add some cooking wine to remove the fishy smell and vinegar mixed with minced garlic to enhance the aroma...
Crow Crow stood aside and waited with eyes wide open, holding half of the crab leg shell that was about to cool down in his hand. He waited for a long time without waiting for the next step.
Seeing that the manager had finished chewing the crab legs on his hands, she finally couldn't help but asked in a low voice with a hint of urging.
"Dear Manager, may I ask... do you have any other instructions?"
Chu Guang wiped his mouth and gave her the crab leg shell on his hand.
"No, just find a place for me to throw it out of the way."
Crow Crow looked at the crab leg shell in his hand, and then at the manager. He hesitated for a long time before he could hold back a sentence.
"What about...the reward?"
Chu Guang looked at her blankly.
"...What reward?"
Seeing the manager's expression of not remembering anything, Crow Crow immediately became anxious and quickly reminded him.
"Just, it's the mission reward... isn't it the mission of roasting crab legs? I've already finished it, right? It's done, right?"
Chu Guang was silent for a while, looked at her with a strange expression, and nodded slowly.
"Well, it's done."
Hearing these words, hope rekindled on Crow Crow's face, and the light of hope reflected in his eyes.
"That--"
Chu Guang: "...But didn't you eat it too?"
Crow: "???"
What a duck!
This works too?!
…
You can't be too greedy.
Isn't it enough to have lunch with a great manager and enjoy a delicacy more noble than king crab?
No matter how much the little player tried to talk, Chu Guang, who didn't want to talk, always looked at her with the expression "I am an NPC".
He now understands Xiao Qi somewhat.
It seems quite easy to pretend not to be smart.
In the end, Crow Crow still failed to get the reward she expected from the respected manager and left this place that made her sad.
However, Crow Crow, who had a strong heart, only felt sad for two seconds and quickly regained his energy.
In fact, after a rational analysis, tasks without rewards do not exist, because this does not conform to the logic of game design!
Especially this kind of "exclusive mission" where the core NPC "invites" a certain player by name. The mission has not failed, and it is even less likely that there will be no reward at all.
The reward has definitely been paid!
It's just that it's not settled through money or contribution points, but in another way.
Crow Crow instantly thought of what she had talked about with the planner in the text message on the site before, her eyes gradually became excited, and she whispered to herself.
"Yes, NPCs all have a favorable impression level. How could I forget such important information!"
If you don’t give me experience or money, I will definitely give you a good impression!
Ah, why am I so stupid!
He actually went to the NPC to ask for rewards!
It's a shame that the NPC didn't give it to me. If I exchanged my bad feelings for silver coins, I would regret it to death!
Thinking of this, Yaya felt happy in her heart. Fortunately, she didn't force herself. Fortunately, she forced herself for a long time, and the NPC didn't let go.
The only pity is that the favorability cannot be viewed. It is said that the weight value is hidden, and I don’t know how much this task adds.
But, isn’t that how online game articles about intubation in the back of the head are written?
The protagonist cooked a simple meal for the NPC, and the NPC didn't pay for it and just gave him a thumbs up. After a while, the protagonist and the reader forgot about it, and the NPC suddenly came out to show his presence, and that was it.
A big sword was slapped into the protagonist's pocket, and a unique secret book that did not tell men and women but only you was revealed. The protagonist and the readers all clapped their thighs in admiration.
Good guy, it turns out that meal was a foreshadowing!
She must have read similar content in some novel, there is definitely some! But she has read so many that she can't remember which one it is for a while.
The more I think about it, the more possible it becomes.
Crow Crow, who was still a little depressed at first, couldn't close his mouth in joy, and kept giggling, as if he had grasped the future.
Favorability.
Hey hey hey.
Hidden mission!
Hey Hey Hey.
Suddenly, the drifting snow outside the house and the cool breeze blowing past my ears and ankles no longer felt so cold.
Teng Teng was coming out of the warehouse with a basket of furs in his arms.
By chance, she saw Crow Crow passing by the door, and by chance, her silly smile attracted her attention. Teng Teng couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
By the way...
Does this guy really not matter?
That expression always feels like eating the wrong mushroom.
However, Teng Teng only glanced at it twice and stopped caring about the guy. He hummed a cheerful tune enthusiastically and continued to the tailor stall not far from the warehouse.
This evening, the great and wise administrator will allocate the land to her for building the tailor's cottage.
At that time, her identity will change from tailor Teng Teng to big boss Teng Teng!
Teng Teng has already thought about it.
It doesn't matter whether she becomes a rich woman or not, the main thing is that she likes to make clothes. She wants the clothes with her carefully designed LOGO to be sold throughout the wasteland!
By then, not only the players, but even the NPCs in the game will be wearing clothes designed by her.
A completely realistic virtual reality game.
So awesome!!
…
afternoon.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier.
In order to prevent the trenches from being buried by snow, Chu Guang ordered the players on duty at the gate to report to him as soon as possible if they found that the trenches were waterlogged or snowy.
At the same time, in order to prevent predators from approaching while taking advantage of the heavy snow, he sent two players of the perception system and two players of the agility system to form a team, starting from the north gate and east gate of the wetland park respectively, and conducting careful reconnaissance along the main road.
Once something happens, report back immediately.
After finishing these things, Chu Guang put on a deerskin coat and walked to the industrial area north of the sanatorium.
I saw him moving four pieces of wood, inserting two pieces at the door, two pieces against the building of the nursing home, and measured a 5m wide main road at two points and one line.
The area of the entire outpost is actually not very large. In terms of walls, the length and width are just over a hundred meters.
The five-meter-wide main road looked a bit redundant, but for future planning, Chu Guang decided to make the road around the "resurrection point" wider.
The main road was standardized, and then Chu Guang made marks with branches at intervals along the main road like a grid. At the same time, he marked the corresponding points on the sketch of the outpost, and used numbers to mark the area before the points.
Take the mark.
Afterwards, signs must be inserted into the circled plots to correspond one-to-one with the grids drawn on the map.
"Tsk, I didn't expect that surveying and mapping is still a technical job."
I wish I could have found a physical education teacher to help.
It just so happens that the area within the fence is slightly larger than the playground.
I remember that when I was in school, there was no laser mapping device. The physical education teacher walked along the playground with a spoon, and he drew a straight line, which was straighter than what the math teacher drew on the blackboard.
Seeing that it was getting late, Chu Guang shook the snow off his notebook, returned to the nursing home, and summoned the life professionals who had previously been approved for industrial land.
In fact, there were not many people involved. After all, including the mosquitoes who later submitted the materials, he only approved a total of five projects.
However, the number of players gathered around was far more than that.
Most people come just to watch the fun.
"The land has been divided!"
"Land reform!"
"I hope my steel workshop is closer to the resurrection point."
"It's unrealistic. How can you fill such a large area next to the resurrection point? Don't even think about it!"
There was constant noise in my ears.
With a meticulous seriousness on his face and a small book in his hand, Chu Guang cleared his throat and loudly announced his arrangement.
"The approved industrial land has been marked on the map."
"Players whose application projects have been approved, please come forward and claim them yourself."
