Survival of the Nation: My luck was a tiny bit worse.

"Like the control buttons on an induction cooker!"

As soon as Chen Hao spoke, he slapped the parchment scroll.

"That's right! Absolutely! Look at these arrows, one to the left and one to the right, one clockwise and one counterclockwise—isn't that a guide for controlling the fire size?"

"..."

"..."

Everyone present was stunned by these words.

silence.

silence.

Still, damn it, silence.

Electromagnetism what?

What kind of induction cooker?

What kind of electric stove?

Even Ou Yun, the seemingly absurd god in the eyes of many who had seen it all, was taken aback.

Is this correct?

What I'm saying is, even if it's a forbidden area that has everything and lacks nothing, it doesn't have to be this impromptu!

Hassan was the first to react.

His fingers trembled slightly as he pushed up glasses that weren't actually there.

"An electric, induction cooker?"

"Yeah! An induction cooker!"

Chen Hao thought for a moment, then said in a serious tone.

"You just throw in the corresponding raw materials, and it heats them up to make what you want."

"Maybe it can even be enchanted to add a buff or something? Like the bone armor fragments of the Abyss Bone Demon, or those pretty ores the lynxes offered us as tribute before?"

"???"

Everyone's expressions clearly conveyed the same message: Are you fucking kidding me?

Ou Yun walked over and patted his forehead.

"Brother Chen, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I'm perfectly alright!"

Chen Hao was so excited that he no longer cared whether his older brother was praising him or making sarcastic remarks.

He flipped the blueprint over with a snap and pointed at it.

"Brother, look at this pattern, doesn't it look familiar?"

Take a closer look at the European fortune.

The device structure drawn in the very center of the drawing is circular, with a vertical line in the middle and two arrows pointing upwards and downwards, one clockwise and one counterclockwise.

Turn the stove clockwise to turn it off; the smaller the flame, the lower it gets.

Fire counter-clockwise, and the flames will get bigger and bigger.

"..."

Everyone fell silent. Lost in thought.

As a result, everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on Ou Yun's face.

And the European Games lived up to expectations—

He stared at it for a long time before slowly typing out a question mark.

"But... that doesn't mean it's an induction cooker."

I'm sorry, Brother Chen, even I can't accept that this thing is just an induction cooker!

The remaining few people just looked at each other.

"Um, well, let's take another look!"

"Yes, this was dropped by the Abyss Bone Demon, so it's no surprise it's extraordinary..."

"Brother Chen, let's take a break!"

Chen Hao still wouldn't have it, and slammed his hand on the table again. "I told you this is an induction cooker, why don't you believe me!"

"Brother Chen, wake up!"

Noisy and bustling, rubbing and wiping.

at last.

Leng Ruolan is back.

"..."

She returned, looking dashing in a work vest, steaming in the sunlight.

What are you doing?

When Leng Ruolan returned, she saw everyone gathered around the blueprint in a lively atmosphere, and immediately expressed her doubts.

"Captain Leng! You're back!"

Chen Hao rushed over as if he had seen a savior.

"Come and be my judge!"

Chen Hao grabbed the blueprints and moved closer to Leng Ruolan.

"Tell me! Doesn't this thing look like the control knob on an induction cooker?!"

"……induction cooker?"

Interrogative sentence.

Leng Ruolan took the blueprints, slightly surprised but showing respect.

"Yes, look at this arrow, and here..."

Chen Hao looked excited.

"Really, Captain Leng, trust me. Forbidden Zone will definitely not give us any trouble because of Big Brother! So think about it..."

Chen Hao spoke fluently and at length.

"Oh……"

Leng Ruolan remained calm.

She returned to the table with the blueprints in her hands.

Everyone gathered around, looking at the blueprints, at the cold team, and at the European team.

Leng Ruolan didn't say anything, but spread the blueprints on the table, touching them here and there.

Then, raising his hand, he said, "Flashlight."

A flashlight was immediately handed to her.

Leng Ruolan snapped it open and looked at the circle from left to right.

at last.

A small stain was found next to the circle.

The stain wasn't too big or too small, and it even resembled other symbols on the drawing; it was practically invisible unless you looked very closely.

Leng Ruolan extended a finger and gently rubbed it, and the stain obediently dissolved, revealing four small characters below:

"Firepower adjustment".

"..."

"..."

"..."

Snapped.

The flashlight beam disappeared.

Leng Ruolan put the flashlight on the table, turned around, and left.

European Express: ...

People from Pakistan: ...

Chen Hao: ...

half an hour.

Chen Hao, hands on his hips, laughed wildly: "I fucking told you it was an induction cooker!!"

Dragon Kingdom Live Stream Room:

"What the hell is this induction cooker?!"

"Products from forbidden areas are always top-notch; this induction cooker is amazing!"

"Abyss Forge ×, Multi-functional Induction Cooker √"

"Hey, Mr. Ou, look what you've done to Brother Chen!"

"It's over, even the last honest man has fallen for it."

"Mr. Ou, you've done so many bad things!"

"Your forbidden zone will always be your forbidden zone!"

*

Now that it's confirmed that this thing really is an induction cooker—no, to be precise, an abyss induction furnace.

Then there's nothing more to say.

A new problem has arisen.

The group sat in a circle, heads together, staring at the blueprint, and fell silent for a long time without prior agreement.

"So... how do you build this thing?"

Honestly, if it were a true melting pot, they could at least manage to create one based on stereotypes.

But to say that this is the induction cooker version... well, that's a bit embarrassing.

But it's okay.

Having been immersed in the European Games environment day and night, it would be unreasonable for Chen Hao not to have truly learned something.

At this moment, Chen Hao had lost his joking expression and began to talk nonsense with a straight face:

"Alright everyone, let's not oversimplify things. Everyone's used an induction cooker, right? It's just a ignition device with a pot on top!"

"We've now handed over the most difficult part—the induction cooker—to customer service. All that's needed is for the pot on top to be integrated with the ignition device below, and the problem is solved!"

"For example! The main structure of the furnace can be built with our iron ore. Hassan, you know how to lay bricks, so this is not difficult."

It actually sounds quite plausible...

Yes, it's just an induction cooker, right? An induction cooker is just an ignition device, isn't it?

If that's the case, then a campfire can also be used to start a fire, right? It's just that the power isn't as high or as stable as an induction cooker, haha, ahahaha...haha!

As they listened, everyone accepted the explanation and began to listen attentively.

Chen Hao's narration also reached a crucial point:

"These parts are actually the most difficult..."

"The first one, the furnace core."

Chen Hao pointed to the position of the knob in the center of the drawing.

"This stuff needs to withstand extreme temperatures. The label on the map says it requires abyssal crystallization, but we've never heard of this material before."
