That despicable, scheming woman, she actually disguised herself as an elf lady!

A dusky yellow sunset appeared at the edge of the forest, like a dark yellow veil gently draped over the swamp forest.

In the swamp forest, the darkness was even more pronounced. Although it wasn't pitch black, the sky was noticeably darker.

Liu Huan stood before the deep cave, shook his head, and said:

"If we can find survivors and bring them back to Maple Leaf Town, it will be a great achievement. Perhaps the two of you can get this reward and be directly promoted to bronze-level adventurers."

Upon realizing that this might affect his own interests, Virgil did not continue to object.

Elvira, on the other hand, had an indifferent expression.

Her current obsession is to follow in her father's footsteps, improve her swordsmanship and strength, and eventually become a professional swordsman to make up for the regrets her father left unfulfilled.

"This place is not suitable as a camp, in case a powerful monster returns."

Liu Huan suggested to his companion that they dismantle the two tents and take them out with them.

Virgil and Elvira naturally did not object. From the Grayfeather Tribe to now, Liu Huan had used his rich experience to prove that his decision was absolutely correct.

Before it got completely dark, the three of them divided up the tasks: two of them went out to gather firewood and hunt some wild game, while the other went to the rapids to fetch water and see if he could catch some fish.

This time, under the pretext of looting the camp, Liu Huan openly took out the seasonings he had brought from his rented room, such as cumin and MSG.

He returned from hunting with two woolly-tailed rabbits in his hands, holding their grayish-white tails. The rabbits' legs were kicking and thrashing, trying to escape from his grasp.

On the other side, Elvira also caught a white cod. She held a sharpened wooden spear in her hand, and the white cod's tail was thrashing about, so it didn't look quite dead yet.

"Haha, we're getting a big meal tonight! Watch me show you what I can cook!"

Liu Huan was overjoyed. He didn't have many ambitions, and his favorite thing was food. He didn't cook much before, but after coming to this world, he could only eat some extremely unpalatable food if he didn't cook for himself.

This harsh environment gradually forced him to learn to cook. At first, he could only cook egg noodles for Selena, but now he is extremely skilled at scraping scales and gutting animals.

The fluffy-tailed rabbit was then handed over to Virgil. He filled a basin with water and, under Elvira's reluctant gaze, personally sent the adorable rabbit to paradise. He then carefully shaved its fur and scraped its belly before stringing it up with two sharpened sticks.

True gourmet food often requires only the simplest cooking methods!

Liu Huan did not make grilled fish; he simply put white-scaled cod and some specially collected wild vegetables into a pot to cook.

Simmering over low heat, the fragrance of wild herbs and the tenderness of the fish blend perfectly. To remove the muddy taste from the freshwater fish, he also sprinkled some MSG.

Thus, a pot of pure white fish soup, resembling tender tofu, was successfully prepared.

During this time, Virgil also kept roasting two woolly rabbits. The campfire crackled and popped, and occasionally the flames could be seen greedily licking the rabbit meat. The skin of the roasted rabbits had turned golden brown, and an enticing aroma wafted over.

Liu Huan gently inserted a chopstick made from a tree branch into the rabbit meat, which was pierced through as easily as cotton.

"Yes, it's cooked!"

He secretly sprinkled some cumin on the roasted rabbit, which sizzled and made the aroma of the roasted meat even stronger.

The three of them couldn't wait to start enjoying their meal. They drank the fish soup and gnawed on the rabbit legs, their mouths greasy with oil, thoroughly enjoying themselves!

As Liu Huan savored the exquisite aroma of the rabbit meat bursting in his mouth, and then sipped a mouthful of the sweet fish soup, he felt that life was just like this.

But then he quickly remembered something else:

"Oh right, I promised Li Xiang and the others I'd treat them to a meal at my place. I'll find some time to catch some fish and game to take back, so they can taste what real delicacies are!"

This was the first time Virgil and Elvira had ever eaten such delicious food. The roasted meat they had eaten in the tribe before was not even one ten-thousandth as good as Liu Huan's.

In a whirlwind of activity, Virgil devoured the entire pot of fish soup and roasted rabbit. Still unsatisfied, he patted his belly and said to Liu Huan:

"I never imagined you were not only a great fighter, but your cooking skills far surpassed ours! I've never eaten such delicious food before!"

Elvira was also embarrassed by her unladylike eating manners. She hadn't expected that what was just an ordinary roasted meat from the tribe would taste so delicious after Liu Huan cooked it.

She couldn't help but ask, "Could you teach me how to do this?"

It seems Elvira is quite the foodie!

Seeing this, Liu Huan felt extremely satisfied!

After all, strictly speaking, they were the second and third people to have eaten food they had made themselves.

Ophelia didn't want to go through the trouble of cooking dinner, preferring to ask Liu Huan to bring out some fast food so she could eat things that had no nutritional value all day.

Eric liked it very much, but he wasn't strong enough to go on adventures with him.

Liu Huan was delighted to receive their admiring gazes and words of praise.

"It's not difficult. You just need to master the cooking time and the preparation of the ingredients. For example, you need to be careful when handling the gall bladder when gutting the fish, and also..."

All evening, Virgil and Elvira listened attentively to the valuable knowledge Liu Huan imparted, their eyes filled with admiration. This class was known as the Little Chef's Class.

The next day, dawn broke.

Liu Huan greeted the two people who were doing their morning exercise, then ran to an open space near the camp early in the morning. He grabbed an axe he had scavenged from the camp and began chopping down trees with a huff and puff.

After all, he had said that he was going to make the support frame for the lifting platform. If he had no materials at all and just conjured up a brand new wooden support frame out of thin air, wouldn't that be utterly absurd?

Therefore, Liu Huan was just going through the motions. He first chopped down four or five trees with an axe, then sawed them into pieces, and then threw them directly into the bushes to hide them.

After a busy morning, it was noon by the time I arrived.

Liu Huan secretly estimated the time and felt it was about right. Yesterday, the merchant's cousin said he would work all night to process his order and that he would have it delivered by rocket early in the morning, so it should arrive around the afternoon.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead. Cutting down trees was a skilled job, and it could be good for both his mind and body.

Although the Bone Forging Realm relies on the World Force contained in the blood within the body, this kind of training can also accelerate the process.

Otherwise, most of the warriors who have mastered the planetary core breathing technique are adventurers or soldiers in the army.

Moreover, during the process of cutting down trees, Liu Huan kept trying to enter a state of tranquility.

Because Bian Jingxuan had told him that the next stage of Chengxin was Shoushen, which required practitioners to maintain a state of mind as calm as a clear mirror for a long time.

In layman's terms, it means: the spirit does not wander, and the mind remains focused on one thing.

The outward manifestation is a high degree of mental concentration, and it is not easy to be disturbed by the outside world. However, Liu Huan can only enter a state of calm mind for a short time. The difference between the two is still quite large!

After Liu Huan hid the next batch of wood, he conjured up streaks of silver light that covered it, which then turned into stardust and dissipated into the air.

Beep beep—

As soon as I got back to my rented room, my phone started ringing in my pocket.

"Hey, is this Mr. Superman even when you're unhappy? Your package..."

About ten minutes later, Liu Huan carried a large box back to the rented house, disassembled it briefly, and transported it all to the back courtyard of the courthouse.

"Let me see how this is supposed to be assembled."

The merchant's cousin was very thoughtful and even gave him a large wrench and an installation flowchart, so he only needed to follow the steps to install it.

Liu Huan himself was quite capable with his hands. He glanced at the installation flowchart, memorized the general process, and began the installation.

He only finished installing the entire support structure when the afterglow of the setting sun scattered across the earth like willow catkins.

It was almost lunchtime by then.

In the distance, sparse footsteps could be heard.

"Liu Huan, is it time to eat?"

The man who arrived was Virgil. He crossed the hall of the courthouse and followed the stone path to the back courtyard. When he saw Liu Huan move the wooden frame to the entrance of the cave, he was greatly surprised.

He pointed to the support frame, which was as tall as three people, swallowed hard, and said in a trembling voice:

"This...you made this?"
