No one can resist the temptation of delicious food, especially when you are hungry.
As soon as the pot was opened, Asuna, who was already licking her lips and waiting nearby, couldn't wait to take out a spoon from her bag and carefully took a sip of the chicken soup, her beautiful brown eyes suddenly shining brightly.
"Hmm...it tastes really good."
Although Gui Yanye is not very used to this kind of atmosphere of eating around a pot, every load on the horse is precious. It is impossible to carry a bunch of bowls and basins, so he can only make do with two peeled chopsticks.
He picked up the chicken with his wooden stick, blew it to warm it and put it in his mouth to taste. His big melancholy eyes couldn't help but light up slightly.
"Night Dire, you must be from China." Asuna suddenly confirmed.
"How do you know?" Luo Jie asked with a smile.
"I have noticed that many of your habits are very different from those of us Japanese people before, until I ate the chicken you stewed..." Asuna pointed to the iron pot that had been taken off the fire and narrowed her eyes slightly.
There was a hint of pride in his eyes, "The taste is very similar to what I had in a Chinese restaurant before, but the one you made, Mr. Nightmare, tastes better."
"It's a pity that it's still a little bit worse." Luo Jie shook his head regretfully.
"No... I think this dish from Nightmare-kun is already perfect."
Gui Yanye looked sincere. It is said that most girls who are bad at cooking have a slow sense of taste, which means they are not picky eaters.
"No, one day when you see the dishes I cook shining, then it will be truly perfect."
Asuna and Gui Yanye covered their mouths and chuckled at the same time, thinking that Luo Jie was joking with them.
Other travelers were also setting fires to cook at the moment, but they were not as well prepared as Luo Jie. At most, they just put the game they had brought in on the fire and sprinkled it with salt and roasted it as a snack.
Most people's dinner can only be scones and water - because they don't have the tools to boil water, even drinking hot water is a luxury for them.
"Night Dire." Halfway through the meal, Asuna glanced in the direction of the red-haired "Klein" team in the distance, and said with some hesitation: "I don't think we can finish this pot of food.
, can I send some to "Xing"?"
Luo Jie was feeding chicken to the little golden retriever sitting on his lap. Hearing Asuna's words, he couldn't help but raise his head and looked at her with a strange look.
"is it not OK?"
Asuna was seen as feeling a little guilty. After all, this pot of chicken stew was completed by Luo Jie alone from raw materials to finished product. She used the fruits of other people's labor to give favors, which in itself was somewhat unjustifiable.
"Ah...it's nothing. I suddenly remembered something and got distracted."
Luo Jie smiled apologetically, picked out the thickest tree stump from the firewood pile beside him, used the small [Alaska Whaling Fork Survival Knife] to break it horizontally and dug a groove, and poured some
Chicken and chicken soup.
"Thank you." Asuna left happily holding the simple wooden basin.
Gui Yanye sat by the bonfire with her knees folded, adding a few fine firewood to the fire from time to time. Suddenly she turned her head and looked at Luo Jie, with a slight smile hanging on the corners of her pink lips.
"Night Dire-kun... you dote on sister Asuna very much."
Luo Jie smiled noncommittally. Could he say that he just had a bad taste and simply wanted to see what would happen if the current girlfriend and ex-girlfriend of the original protagonist Kirito played together?
After dinner, Luo Jie moved the bonfire not far away and set up a tent on the burned ground.
According to the normal procedure, a circle of powder to repel snakes and insects should be sprinkled around the tent, but this bonfire was lit using the [Camp Fire Technique], and its built-in mental coercion effect is better than any other powder, so it is omitted.
It took a lot of troublesome steps to set up camp.
The reputation of logistical skills is not just blown away.
The tent was set up, but then a very serious problem appeared in front of the three of them.
How are three people going to sleep in one tent?
In fact, this problem has not been considered before, but there is really no better way to solve it.
The tent can be said to be the most important item among all necessities. Even if they purchased a pack horse, they would not be able to bring an extra tent just for this inconvenience.
"How about you let "Sachi" come over to sleep... Dire-kun, please go and squeeze in with "Klein" and the others, please!" Asuna clasped her hands together and made an apologetic expression.
"Well, okay." Luo Jie raised his head and smiled, but he sat by the campfire and did not move. He concentrated on playing with a small air ball in his hand and said: "You just call "Xing" over, I think she is a girl.
It's not very convenient for the child to sleep there... I'm not very sleepy yet, so I'll help you keep an eye on the fire for a while, and then go over to find "Klein" and the others later."
The night is getting darker.
After fighting for a whole day, the travelers who were already sleepy and tired gradually fell asleep, and snoring could be heard in the tents everywhere.
Most of the fires that had been left unattended had been extinguished, leaving only a few embers emitting warmth. Only a few fires where the night watchers were located were still burning quietly at the edge of the camp.
Luo Jie sat next to the campfire leaning on the firewood pile, continuing to study the unfinished [Arcane Missile] derivative skill.
[White Wolf King Light Armor of the Snowfield] and [GANTZ Enhanced Suit·Type Zero] have accumulated up to 400 points of cold attribute resistance, allowing him to completely ignore the extreme cold, and the cool breeze of just a few degrees above zero in the prairie night.
, it is simply refreshing and pleasant to him.
"It's still a little bit worse..."
Feeling that his mental strength was about to bottom out, Luo Jie temporarily stopped supplying the [Arcane Missile] skill, and the air ball suspended in his hand suddenly turned into nothing like smoke.
During this period of time, he has not stopped developing and researching this derivative skill. However, so far, he can only make the [Arcane Missile] stay in his hand for a short time, but he has never been able to make it rotate according to his intention.
stand up.
God knows how I suddenly wanted to develop some derivative skills?
Luo Jie estimated that if he could use the wasted time to go to some fantasy land to earn points, he would probably be able to buy at least one melee skill above E purple by now.
It's a pity that it's too late to realize it now. He has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder when it comes to doing things, and he really can't stand the frustration of giving up halfway.
Just this once!
Luo Jie secretly made up his mind that after developing this derivative skill of [Arcane Missile], he would never study other derivative skills again.
…
In the tent on the other side of the fire, a private night conversation, which Luo Jie was completely unaware of, was secretly taking place between the three girls.
I have a headache and a cough. For the sake of me insisting on updating despite being sick, please stop tearing it up... I need a vote.
