Let's suffer a little longer, fellow Blue Star folks.

On the contrary, Qi Stone, which was not originally a currency, has emerged as a common trading currency.

"So after all the twists and turns, I'm still short of money."

Chapter 9 Can he cook?!

"I succeeded! I succeeded!"

Chen Lu stood up excitedly, holding a stone axe in his right hand. Then he swung the axe vigorously, and after making sure that the blade did not move at all, he nodded in ecstasy.

"My craftsmanship, wow, it's simply perfect."

"Don't make a fuss, I'm almost done."

Oxygen looked up at Chenlu's smug look, then immediately lowered her head again and silently increased her pace.

Because they thought it would be difficult to make just one axe, after knowing the specific production process of the stone axe, Yu Shui and Yang Yang also found materials separately and prepared to make another one each.

Thanks to the online guidance of Chenlu’s friend, they avoided many detours.

At least if it weren't for her suggestion, they would never have come up with the idea of ​​putting charcoal on the wooden stick to speed up digging.

Soon, all three stone axes appeared, and the three men immediately rushed towards the woods not far away, waving their axes.

If you want to be rich, start by chopping trees!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

They chopped from the afternoon until the evening, and their hands were sore, but they were very successful and successfully added more than a dozen wooden stakes to the woods.

"Sister Xia! We're here to hand in the mission!"

The three of them did not stop for a moment. They immediately split the wood as required and then dragged it to the side of the wooden house in batches.

Looking at the three people in front of him who were panting but full of energy, Xia Keyu immediately put down what he was doing and quickly followed them to the pile of 'fresh' wood.

To be honest, the efficiency of these players really exceeded Xia Keyu's expectations.

In one day, from making a stone axe to chopping so much wood, if it were someone else, they would have been exhausted both physically and mentally, but these three people in front of them seemed to be still reluctant to leave.

Are people in the other world so capable?

“3…6…27…28.”

"There are 28 in total." Xia Keyu looked at the three people who were obviously tired after working all afternoon. After thinking for a while, he took out 10 alliance coins with a face value of 10 from his arms.

"I'll give you a hundred this time, but don't tell the leader."

"Thank you, Sister Xia!"

"We are absolutely tight-lipped!"

"Yeah." Xia Keyu has gradually become accustomed to the players' addresses. She smiled and nodded, then looked at the sky which was gradually getting darker.

"You've been tired all afternoon, take a break first, dinner will be ready soon."

"dinner?"

Yu Shui and Yang Yang simultaneously caught the key words in Xia Keyu's mouth, and then also noticed the curling smoke rising from the other side of the hut.

The two looked at each other immediately.

"Isn't it possible to eat in this game?"

"Isn't this game about cooking?"

Yu Shui thinks about eating, while Oxygen thinks about working.

But the goal is the same, and with the realism currently shown in this game, it is definitely possible to achieve!

Thinking of this, the two of them immediately set off and followed Xia Keyu's footsteps.

They returned together to the other side of the cabin, where Xia Keyu had her makeshift kitchenette.

There were some simple kitchen utensils in it that Xia Keyu asked Dr. Cai to deliver today, and they would come in handy tonight.

"It smells so good!"

As soon as she entered this area, a strong fragrance entered Oxygen's nose. She subconsciously sniffed, trying to identify the ingredients in it.

"Mushrooms? Cream?"

"No, it's a little different."

“Is there a little pepper in it?”

Oxy slowly walked to the edge of the iron pot, then squatted down gently, staring at the ingredients in the pot.

They are really being cooked.

She could even see the ingredients in the pot slowly softening and the water droplets splashing out when the boiling bubbles burst.

As a professional chef and a heavy gamer, this is the scene she has always dreamed of!

Oxy's thoughts gradually began to wander, and she suddenly remembered that when she was cutting trees in the afternoon, she saw many unfamiliar animals and plants.

If these could be used to cook...

hey-hey……

"Are you hungry?"

Seeing that Oxy was lost in thought while staring at the food in the pot, Xia Keyu also squatted down. She looked at Oxy's profile, then turned back to look into the pot.

"It will be ready soon. This soup made with clouds and mushrooms will be delicious."

"Clouds and mushrooms?"

"Yes, its scientific name is Agaricus hygrophila, but because this mushroom only grows near Yunhe Town, everyone calls it Yunhe mushroom." Xia Keyu held up a Yunhe mushroom placed aside with his left hand, raised his right index finger, and began to explain science to Oxygen.

"Plus, clouds and mushrooms are very filling. Just eating one or two is like..."

Seeing that Oxygen kept nodding beside Xia Keyu and looked completely immersed in it, Yu Shui and Chen Lu did not disturb them.

“This game really has a high degree of freedom.”

Yu Shui looked at the burning fire and the boiling mushroom soup, and couldn't help but sigh.

Whether it was the two NPCs in this gathering place, the surrounding scenes, the experience of chopping trees today, or the steaming hot mushroom soup, they all gave him a feeling of being in another world.

If he couldn't log out at any time, he would really doubt whether this was a real world.

"Indeed." Chen Lu nodded.

"So, how about we go find a demon to fight?"

"Huh? So sudden?"

Yu Shui turned around and looked at Chen Lu, and then saw that he was already holding an axe and eager to try.

"It's not that sudden. We have weapons and money to revive. The next step is to kill monsters and level up."

"And I just asked the leader, the ordinary inferior demons are only about the same fighting power as an adult male."

"Then as long as we launch a righteous two-on-one attack, victory will definitely be a problem!"

After hearing Chen Lu's words, Yu Shui pondered for a while, then nodded vigorously.

"go!"

"..."

"Eh? Where are your two friends?" After Xia Keyu handed a wooden bowl full of cloud and mushroom soup to Oxygen, she stood up and looked around.

"Oh, them." Oxygen said nonchalantly while blowing gently into the bowl.

"They're not hungry, so they're just wandering around. They're fine. They have axes and can run fast, so nothing will happen to them."

"Oh, I see." Xia Keyu sat down again, but was still a little worried.

"Let's ignore them for now. Sister Ke Yu, I noticed there's a plant in this soup that tastes sweet and fragrant. What is that?"

"Ah, that's the sweet flower..."

……

"There must be monsters spawning around here. How come we haven't encountered a single demon after walking for so long?" Chen Lu whispered as she used an axe to cut through the branches blocking the way.

"The area near the base should be a safe zone. After all, the server has just been opened. If the monsters spawn directly near the base, one or two will be fine, but if there are more, what if we block the fountain?" Yu Shui made a simple guess.

"I should have gone to the other side of the river earlier. It feels like there are demons over there..."

"Crack..."

"Wait, there's a sound." Yu Shui immediately stopped, stood still, and then quickly glanced around.

"Crack clap!"

"in my side!"

Chen Lu had just retracted his swung axe when he saw a black shadow rushing towards him from his right. He subconsciously rolled on the spot to avoid the black shadow's sneak attack and rolled back to Yu Shui's side.

"So flashy!"

Yu Shui took a step forward immediately, preventing Chen Lu from being chased by the enemy when she stood up, while also being able to see the other party's appearance clearly.

"It's a demon."

This is a snake-like monster. Its lower body drags on the ground like a snake's tail, while its upper body is standing. Its head is ferocious and has spikes, and its hands are like two long swords like a mantis.

"upbraid!"

Seeing that his sneak attack failed and the two humans in front of him had also drawn their weapons, the demon stopped where he was temporarily. He did not attack rashly, nor did he leave directly. Instead, he just watched the two from a distance.

When the Yushui and Chenluo tentatively move forward, it retreats; when they tentatively retreat, it moves forward.

They instantly understood that this demon was targeting them.

"Fight or flight?"

Chen Lu gritted her teeth and unconsciously tightened her grip on the axe handle.

The environment around the two of them was pitch black, and there were trees everywhere blocking their view. In addition, there was a demon watching them from a distance. The fear had found the most comfortable breeding ground and was growing wildly.

Yu Shui no longer hesitated, and his eyes instantly became firm.

"beat!"

Chapter 10 Breakthrough

"beat!"

As soon as Yu Shui finished speaking, the two of them paused in their retreat at the same time, and then exerted force together, one to the left and the other to the right, and the two of them drew two arcs and instantly rushed in front of the demon.

"Ding!"

"Hey!"

Yu Shui's attack was blocked by the demon's hand knife, but Chen Lu's axe blade hit the demon's side firmly, and he even heard the clear sound of the axe entering the flesh.

"upbraid!"

The demon felt pain, and a hint of blood appeared in his originally dark pupils.

"It can break the defense!" Chen Lu pulled out the axe blade, then looked at the flesh and blood that was brought out, and immediately said loudly.

The two were originally most worried that the simple stone axe would not be able to hurt the monster, but now that it can deduct blood, it means you are a god.

They can also kill for you to see!

Because they often played games together before and were both high-level players of "League", when they succeeded in a surprise attack and gained the advantage, the offensive of Yu Shui and Chen Lu forced the demons to retreat repeatedly for a while, and sometimes they would even suffer new wounds if they failed to dodge in time.

"upbraid!"

The demon's cries gradually lost their initial high pitch, and now they sounded a little more shrill.

"I'll let you sneak attack me!"

After the demon was unable to dodge and was hit on the back by Yu Shui's axe, Chen Lu finally found another opportunity and hit the demon's head with an axe.

"Oh!"

After a muffled sound, although the axe was too blunt to split the scales on the demon's head, the huge force still shook the demon's brain through the skin.
