Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 7: The mouse has skin, but the man has no manners

In the fireworks kitchen.

More and more thin firewood piled up at the foot of the wall. Chen Xu raised his knife and slashed it, and the dark light of the knife flew in front of him.

Bang bang bang!
With the influx of more sword-training experience, all the scattered qi and blood in Chen Xu's body were refined into his limbs and bones.

The previously uncontrollable swelling feeling finally disappeared, and the burning sensation between breaths also subsided.

Great! It turns out that chopping wood with a knife has such benefits!
Chen Xu was delighted and continued practicing with his sword.

It was not until several hours had passed and a strong feeling of fatigue came over him that Chen Xu was forced to put down the hatchet and let out a long breath.

Open the properties page.

【Essence: 10+】

[Qi and Blood: 18+]

[Spirit: 12+]

[Free attribute points: 8]

[Fireworks value: 3]

【Chopping Wood Level 1 (15/100)】

Looking at the 8 free attribute points, Chen Xu decided to take this opportunity to distribute them.

He thought for a moment, and first tentatively added some attributes to his essence.

【Essence: 11+】

As his essence increased, the fatigue he had just felt was reduced invisibly, and Chen Xu couldn't help but feel slightly refreshed.

It turns out that the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit are interrelated. Excessive consumption of energy and blood can also cause mental fatigue, and an increase in spirit can also speed up the recovery of energy and blood.

Of course, his attribute panel only seems to display the highest values ​​of his current three attributes, and does not show his specific state after physical energy consumption in real time.

The biggest advantage is that your skills and experience can be certified once and for all.

Chen Xu added some attributes to his spirit, and at the same time carefully felt the changes in his body.

This time, my mind seemed to have become slightly clearer and sharper. It wasn't noticeable, but it felt like my brain was being ironed out.

Chen Xu was satisfied and continued to add more.

Soon, his attributes became——

【Essence: 14+】

[Qi and Blood: 18+]

[Spirit: 14+]

[Free attribute points: 2]

[Fireworks value: 3]

He finally kept two free attribute points because he found that no matter which of the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit increased, it could help him recover his body when he was tired and weak.

Keep two points for emergencies to help with endurance.

Afterwards, Chen Xu checked his leg injury again. His right calf was a comminuted fracture, as described in his previous life.

This kind of injury may not be incurable in modern technological society, but in Jichuan County, no doctor dares to say that his injury can be completely cured.

Chen Xu originally thought that the medical level in ancient times was limited and he might be crippled for half his life.

But now that I know this is a world of gods and monsters, everything is naturally different.

If ordinary means can’t cure it, what about extraordinary means?
Chen Xu now believes that as long as his energy and spirit continue to grow, he will be able to heal himself one day!

He did not stop, and after figuring out the use of attribute points, he continued to practice chopping wood until he had used up all the time he could stay in the fireworks kitchen.

【Chopping Wood Level 1 (35/100)】

Ping'an Lane, in a small house.

The sun's shadow gradually shifted upwards, and Chen Xu, who had finally left the kitchen, woke up as if from a dream. He stood up from the table in an instant.

The moment I stood up, I felt light and refreshed.

Including the injury on the right leg, the pain and itching before has turned into a comfortable feeling like soaking in a hot spring.

All his experience in chopping wood with a knife flowed through his mind like a stream. Chen Xu moved his wrist and felt the urge to pick up the wood knife and chop it three thousand times.

He quickly touched his waist and abdomen again. Even through the clothes, he could feel the smooth feeling of his lean abdominal muscles.

Everything in the fireworks kitchen can indeed reflect reality truthfully!

It was really amazing. A smile appeared on Chen Xu's face. He finally felt that he had "really possessed the God-chosen cheat".

Of course, during the growth period, you still have to hide when you need to.

Chen Xu continued to work tirelessly, got up and went to the kitchen, first looking at the porridge and bread he had deliberately left, but he saw that the porridge was still on the stove and the bread was untouched.

Hey, the rat demon didn’t come to eat porridge or cakes?

Chen Xu listened carefully again, trying to hear the sound of the rat demon, but still heard nothing.

He couldn't help but wonder, if the rat demon wasn't coming to eat him, was it injured? Was it physically disabled? Was it captured by some master? Or...

Or something else, Chen Xu couldn’t guess.

He could only comfort himself: This is a demon, a demon that is difficult to distinguish between good and evil. Isn't it stupid to worry about a demon?

Chen Xu put his worries aside and deliberately placed the porridge and cakes he had left in a corner of the stove.

Then he began to count the odds and ends of food he had exchanged with vendors on Nanshi Street.

Things were scattered here and there, such as a small piece of tofu, a handful of shepherd's purse, a meat bone, a handful of corn, a small malnourished gourd the size of a fist, a small bundle of wormwood leaves, and so on.

It is basically impossible to make any real food out of these messy things. Based on his cooking experience in his previous life, Chen Xu decided to stew a pot of meat and vegetable porridge with these things.

His current cooking skill is: [Common Cooking Level 2 Proficient (45/100)]

This was largely due to his hobbies in his previous life. In this life, since his main occupation was studying and taking the imperial examinations, he did not have many opportunities to cook.

But this is enough. His talent [The food I cook is always more delicious] is enough for him to deal with the diners at this stage.

Chen Xu lit the fire, put the pot on the stove and cooked the porridge.

This process lasted for half an hour.

During the process, Chen Xu took out the "Book of Changes" from the bedroom and read it carefully while watching the fire.

The firelight shone on the young scholar's face, making his eyes seem to shine like stars.

Suddenly, a thin squeaking sound came from a distant crack.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak, Master Jiu, this scholar actually didn't forget to read while making porridge. He must be so tired!"

It's the sound of mice!

Chen Xu, who was reading a book, was delighted. The mouse made a sound, and the rat demon was indeed fine. His previous worries were in vain.

But since the rat demon was fine, why didn’t it eat the things he left behind?

Chen Xu was puzzled, but then he heard another old voice say, "He was cooking porridge and reading at the same time. You can say he's diligent, but why do you say he's tired?"

The mouse squeaked, "Just looking at him makes me feel like he's so tired. But his porridge today smells so good! It's different from the previous ones, Master Jiu, I really want to eat it."

[Rat Demon likes +1]

The old voice said, "It smells good, but we are roommates after all, and we are rats, so we should not appear in other people's houses during the day. Ah Shiguai, if the host leaves any food at night, we can go and eat it."

[Rat Demon likes +1]

……

Chen Xu never expected that this was the reason why the rat demon didn't come to eat porridge during the day.

For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little more emotional.

There are so many unreasonable people in the world, but the two mice are so humble and polite. No wonder the ancients scolded them: The mouse has skin, but the man has no manners!
Chen Xu stood by the stove, stirring with a wooden spoon from time to time.

Gradually, the aroma of meat became increasingly richer and richer as it emanated from the pot.

The meat bones were stewed in the soup pot until they turned white. Chen Xu had already picked out the meat shreds and chopped them into small pieces and mixed them into the porridge.

The porridge is a two-grain porridge made with two kinds of rice: white rice and corn.

After cooking for a long time, the porridge becomes moderately thick and the rice grains are blooming.

Chen Xu sprinkled another handful of salt and finally added various chopped vegetables in turn.

The rich aroma ignited a burst of fragrance, and in the distant crevice, the mouse squeaked urgently, "It smells so good, so good, so good! It smells so good! Master Jiu, it smells so good, so good, so good!"

[Rat Demon likes +1]

【+1】

+1+1+1……

Chen Xu sat by the stove and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile on his face.

In just this short while, the rat demon gave him nine likes, and with the three likes that had not been converted before, the limit of ten likes had already been exceeded.

Now Chen Xu has one more free attribute point that can be allocated.

[Free attribute points: 3]

【Accumulated likes: 192】
