Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 17: Demon Soup
Wang Yue was teleported to the center of the shelter, which was the gate of Captain Peter.

The other party's door is still closed, which means there is no interactive plot for the time being.

This time Wang Yue didn't need to look for the captain. He went straight to the [Corrupted Woodland] and soon returned to the cook.

"You came just in time."

While Wang Yue was getting the materials, Goudan had already led a team of [Basic Skeletons] to wait here.

"Dead Soul Calling."

Wang Yue used up all of his mana at once and cast the summoning spell twice in succession.

The team was expanded again, and two level 6 skeletons joined the skeleton team.

"Goudan, lead everyone to start chopping trees. You don't have to fight low-level monsters, just bring the wood to me."

The tree-cutting team started to act, and Wang Yue was not idle either. He wanted to try out the power of the [Logging Axe] first.

Wang Yue replaced his weapon with an axe, but he still felt nervous.

The damage caused by this kind of tool weapon depends on the player himself. For example, a warrior is good at strength, so using a lumberjack axe is definitely more efficient than using a necromancer.

"Don't come over here, it's no match for me alone."

He moved forward towards the [Dead Wood], and the Sith on his shoulder automatically jumped down to avoid it.

The skeletons chose the enemies in the distance and took the initiative to avoid Wang Yue.

"call…"

Wang Yue took a deep breath, causing her chest to puff up.

"I'll cut it."

He swung the axe hard and made a circle, then used his arms like a spring to release the stored power.

"Snapped."

The axe hit the tree, leaving a large triangular gap on the monster's surface.

[Damage caused: 20 (woodcutting)]

"awesome!"

This time, the damage indicator was magnified twice, and the text turned bright yellow.

The [Dead Wood] that was attacked trembled violently, and due to its inability to attack dark creatures, its health bar remained yellow.

Although it was unable to fight back, the pain caused by the powerful impact caused it to retract its branches and begin to defend itself.

"Let me trim the extra branches for you."

Wang Yue threw the axe behind him, then swung it from behind and chopped it diagonally downward at the tree trunk.

"I chop!"

Even if the branches were blocking the attack, they were cut off by the axe like tofu.

[Damage caused: 20 (woodcutting)]

"I was born to chop down trees!"

The tree is now on the verge of collapse. According to the target health limit of 80 points, only two more hits are needed to harvest the wood.

This [Dead Tree] has almost gone crazy, having suffered heavy bleeding injuries twice, but it cannot find a target to vent its anger on.

"I chop, and I chop again."

Wang Yue immediately attacked with two axes in succession, quickly ending the opponent's pain.

"It turns out that you don't have to swing so hard. You can pass the damage judgment by just passing the axe blade."

It seemed that his exaggerated movements had forced a longer attack interval, which made Wang Yue learn his lesson.

……

The first batch of fire-making materials was already in hand. He handed the remaining trees to the skeletons and returned to the cook first.

"Here comes Mu Tou. Let me see what level of cook you are."

When Wang Yue handed the wood to the [Dead Chef], the chef waved his hand and a kitchen knife flew out from his sleeve.

This kitchen knife has its own ideas. It first scrapes the bark from the tree trunk, then cuts off a few branches, and finally uses the blade to carry the processed fuel back to the stove.

"So the cook is so strong?"

Wang Yue was stunned and he wished he could become the disciple and learn the skills right there and then.

The cook ignored Wang Yue's gaze. He slowly took out the wooden medicine bottle and poured the liquid into the pot first.

[Dead Wood Sap: Juice full of vitality, drinking it can increase your health points]

"How can such a small bottle hold so much water? It's unfathomable."

The wooden bottle was only the size of a fist, but the pot was as big as Wang Yue's arms could wrap around it.

The cook took the wooden bottle back only when the liquid had filled half of the iron pot.

Then he took out two stones from his body, tapped them gently, and the sparks ignited the wood chips and successfully started a fire.

"As a chef, you don't know fire magic?"

As if he understood Wang Yue’s question, the chef looked back at him, then reached out to him for the ingredients.

"Since you are so professional, I will give it all to you."

Wang Yue handed three portions of [Inferior Demon Crystal] to the chef at once. He was looking forward to what kind of dishes could be made from this orange stone.

The chef held the crystal in front of his eyes to examine it carefully, then raised the kitchen knife and chopped at one of the cracks.

"Clap clap clap."

After a simple tap, the crystal shell on the surface of the crystal began to break one after another, and finally the golden liquid flowed out and fell into the pot.

[Lesser Demon Essence: Contains the essence of flame energy, which is why the Lesser Demons are always passionate.]

[Effect: Increase fire damage for a short period of time after use]

"Great! It turns out that after it's pried open, it's a short-acting drug."

After pouring things into the pot, they will be consumed as ingredients, but the inferior demons will definitely refresh in the future. Wang Yue thinks that she can collect more of such unique props.

When the golden liquid stopped flowing out, the cook simply threw away the remaining shells.

He mixed the sap and the lesser marrow with an iron spoon, then set the brown liquid on the fire.

“Cooking in this way has a taste of simulating reality, but I don’t think players can wait that long.”

Players don't want to learn how to cook online, they just want the cooking bar to take three seconds and the finished product to appear in front of them.

In the end, Wang Yue waited for 20 minutes before the food came out of the pot.

The chef took off the leather bag on his waist and poured the cooked soup into the bag. Then he showed Wang Yue the other two portions of [Inferior Demon Crystal] and signaled Wang Yue to do it himself.

"I can't do that. I'm a rough man and I only know how to cut trees."

Wang Yue has thought it through. He is determined to stick to the path of carpentry until the end.

He quickly waved his hand to refuse, but the cook still stubbornly let him try.

"Let me make it clear first. I will not forget to operate my secondary job. Don't blame me if something goes wrong."

Hearing this, [Dead Chef] did not respond.

He silently took out another empty iron pot, then filled it halfway with the [Dead Wood Sap], and finally made way for the stove.

"Then here I come, the master of dark cuisine is here."

Wang Yue has a clear understanding of his cooking skills. He only knows how to boil corn and fry eggs, and he dares not try other high-end dishes.

Since he did not have the [Cooking] secondary profession, there was no prompt in Wang Yue's interface. He could only pick up a piece of crystal and chop it with the [Logging Axe] in a very professional manner.

[Obtaining the Inferior Demonic Essence]

"It actually works. It really cracked."

Just like opening an egg, the [Inferior Demonic Marrow] in the middle flowed into the iron pot like egg yolk.

Wang Yue used the axe to mix the ingredients together, and the color of the soup looked the same as that made by the chef.

"It shouldn't have overturned. We'll just have to wait and see."

Without the help of the system, making food in this way is almost the same as in life, but the ingredients in the game world are too strange. I'm afraid only the natives know how to deal with different ingredients.

Another 20 minutes later, Wang Yue's work was completed.

[Lesser Demon Crystal Soup (Apprentice): A soup made from a mixture of Lesser Demon Marrow and Dead Wood Sap, with an orange flavor.]

[Effect: Health limit +10 (unique)]

The only thing it means is that it is only effective for one use. If you eat it once, it will not work again. However, if it can be mass-produced, it can be sold to other players.

“There is no game prompt pop-up for obtaining the cooking recipe.”

The final pot of soup was truly completed. It seemed like a non-game product. Apart from explaining the effect of the final food, the game system had never appeared in the middle.

“I’m still a carpenter, and I’m a carpenter who can cook.”

This soup is no more difficult to make than frying an egg, but Wang Yue is still very happy.
