Dorm Duo Survival: What Did You Do to the School Beauty?

"That's great! This will make the corridor much safer. This automatic turret is really useful!"

Anxin let go of her worries and fears. Realizing that no monster could approach the dormitory, she was no longer so afraid, and a smile bloomed on her face.

"Luckily, we got the turrets and upgraded our defense system, otherwise we would have been attacked by those snow demons too. This reward came at just the right time!"

She paused, then added:

"Lin Yuan, you have no idea, ever since the Snow Demon descended, there have been more and more SOS posts on the forum. It seems that many players have been attacked and killed by these monsters..."

Anxin mentioned the posts she had just seen on the forum, telling Lin Yuan that they were all requests for help.

"It's alright, whether others live or die is none of our business, as long as we're okay!"

Hearing her say that, Lin Yuan also opened the forum and glanced at it, finding that it was indeed the case. He shook his head, closed the forum, and said in a calm tone:

"This game world is cruel. We just need to keep getting stronger every day so that we can cope with danger."

"If you don't get stronger, you're just waiting to die..."

"Okay, I understand." Anxin lowered her head and obediently agreed. It wasn't that she pitied the other players; she was just afraid that one day she too would be killed and eaten by monsters...

Lin Yuan noticed she seemed a bit down, so he stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then smiled.

"Don't be discouraged. Let's have a delicious meal tonight and use food to heal your gloom."

After saying that, he walked to the place where the supplies were piled up, reached out and took two steaks and a beef rib.

"How about pan-fried steak?"

This will be their dinner tonight.

Anxin swallowed hard, her pretty face flushing slightly with embarrassment. She'd been eating instant food for the past two days, and now, hearing Lin Yuan mention barbecue, she couldn't help but drool.

"Hmm, I think it's great, but aren't we being a bit too extravagant?"

Lin Yuan handed the steak and ribs to An Xin, saying irritably, "What do you mean by luxurious? This is our reward. Eat it if you want. Why are you so reluctant?"

He wasn't the kind of person who was stingy with himself and unwilling to enjoy himself. Although fresh meat was a rare sight in this game world, he still had to enjoy himself and absolutely couldn't mistreat himself.

Even if we're struggling to survive, we should try our best to live a comfortable and enjoyable life. There's no other reason than that we have the ability to do so!

There might be opportunities to obtain such resources in the future, so there's no need to compromise yourself...

"Hehe, okay." Anxin took the steak and replied happily.

When there's delicious food, one's mood naturally improves.

"You prepare the steak and ribs first, I'll go to the market to see what ingredients I need, I think I saw someone selling these things last time."

Lin Yuan gave An Xin a few instructions, then opened the trading market and began searching on his own.

Their dormitory only has a pot and no other tools, so they need to go to the market to find a set.

It wasn't anything precious; we found it in no time.

Lin Yuan easily traded two loaves of bread for a set of tools, and two bottles of water for a small packet of salt. The other party even politely gave him a few packets of barbecue seasoning. Feeling that he had traded things he didn't need for food, he felt he had really gone too far...

This is the situation for most ordinary players; even getting enough to eat and drink is a problem. How can they enjoy life like Lin Yuan, who is already eating steak in his dormitory?

The gap is just too big. If other players knew that Lin Yuan and his friends were living such a comfortable life, they would be green with envy.

The transaction was completed, and the necessary tools appeared in the dormitory, the most important of which was a portable gas stove. There was no fire source in the dormitory, so this was the only option.

It's not very professional, but it's passable, given the limited resources...

"Lin Yuan, I've prepared the steak." An Xin walked over with the steak.

Lin Yuan hummed in agreement, took out the frying pan he had scavenged at the supermarket last time, turned on the portable gas stove, and placed the pan on it to heat it up.

Cut off a piece of the steak's fat and put it in the pan. Once all the oil has rendered out, take the two steaks from Anxin's hand and put them into the pan to start frying the steaks.

"Sizzle!"

The steak sizzled as soon as it hit the pan, and a rich aroma of meat filled the dormitory. Anxin, who was watching from the side, swallowed hard and stuck out her tongue a little shyly. She couldn't help it; she just missed the taste of fresh meat so much.

Lin Yuan stared intently at the steak in the pan, turning it occasionally to ensure that every part was heated evenly and that it wasn't overcooked or burnt.

In no time, the two steaks were cooked. Lin Yuan took out a small bag of salt from the trade and carefully sprinkled it on the steaks. That was it.

Two pan-seared steaks, with enticing caramel-colored marbling on the surface and incredibly tender pink meat inside. Once the steaks are placed on the plate, an even richer aroma of meat wafts out, making your mouth water.

"It smells so good, it looks so tempting! Lin Yuan, your cooking is amazing!" An Xin couldn't help but exclaim, showering Lin Yuan with compliments. It seems everyone loves good food, even the school beauty couldn't resist such temptation!

"Okay, stop praising me."

Lin Yuan laughed and handed one of the steaks to An Xin: "Eat it quickly, it's the most fragrant and delicious time now that it's freshly fried, it won't be as tasty when it gets cold."

Anxin took the plate, nodded, and smiled, "You eat too. We'll fry the beef short ribs later; let's eat first!"

Lin Yuan did not refuse, picked up another plate, and smelled the aroma of the steak:

"Alright, let's savor this rare delicacy together."

After saying that, he took the lead and cut off a piece of steak and put it in his mouth. The tender beef burst in his mouth, and the rich meat juice instantly swept through his entire oral cavity!

"Delicious, it's absolutely delicious!"

This is the kind of food we should normally eat!

A satisfied expression appeared on Lin Yuan's face, and he sighed deeply in his heart.

An Xin also cut off a piece of beef, carefully blew on it, and then put it in her mouth and took a big bite. Feeling the deliciousness, her eyes also lit up: "It's so delicious! How can it be so delicious~"

Although the cooking method is simple and there aren't many seasonings, it tastes especially delicious in this resource-scarce environment!

The two of them finished a steak in just a few bites, and after they finished, they looked at each other with expressions of wanting more.

Turning their heads in unison, Lin Yuan looked at the large piece of beef rib with peace of mind.

These ribs will taste delicious pan-fried with barbecue seasoning...
