The newly installed canopy on the tricycle ran very smoothly, as if it didn't encounter any resistance and there was no chance of it being blown off. In fact, this was quite unreasonable and a bit against the laws of aerodynamics. But since he was in this situation, he didn't care about it anymore.
There had been a lot going on today, including killing and leveling up. Fortunately, the tricycle had also become faster. By 9 p.m. when it got dark, it had traveled nearly 370 kilometers! A new record.
After Qi Xu stopped, he planned to have a nutritious meal. He had been eating egg noodles with dried noodles for a long time and hadn't had much vegetables or meat. So even though he had been exercising regularly and keeping a regular schedule, his health value had been growing very slowly.
Qi Xu first went to the chat hall. No matter when and where, it was always so lively that you couldn't even see what the previous message was.
Qi Xu got dizzy just looking at it and directly switched to the trading hall to search for information on all kinds of food.
[300g of honey - roasted meat in exchange for 2 units of gasoline]
[One Chinese cabbage in exchange for 1 unit of gasoline]
[Stir - fried carrots in exchange for any staple food]
These three messages were all posted by the same person, so Qi Xu directly contacted him.
"Three units of gasoline and five compressed biscuits in exchange for your honey - roasted meat, one Chinese cabbage and stir - fried carrots."
Chinese Master Chef: "Compressed biscuits taste terrible. I don't want them. Do you have any stone materials? Can we exchange them for stone materials instead?"
Invincible Black Whirlwind (Qi Xu's in - game name): "No problem."
Qi Xu was thinking that if this person needed stone materials, he should have reached the stage of furniture decoration.
Could it be that this person also had a truck?
After all, it hadn't been long since Qi Xu upgraded his vehicle, and he was the first - generated player. It should be impossible for a first - level vehicle to build daily necessities.
Qi Xu was just curious and didn't have the intention to pry into others' privacy.
But soon, all his curiosity was satisfied.
Chinese Master Chef: "Great! I've finally finished setting up the stove. I also have a full set of cooking utensils and all kinds of seasonings! If you have any good ingredients in the future, you can give them to me to process. I'll just charge a little processing fee. Just look at my name. I'm really good at cooking."
Qi Xu was also a decent cook himself, but he hadn't deliberately collected cooking utensils. Cooking also took time, and he just wanted to have something to eat.
Invincible Black Whirlwind: "Sure. I'll definitely cooperate with you if I have suitable ingredients."
Chinese Master Chef: "This honey - roasted meat and stir - fried carrots were made by me. Try them and see my cooking skills."
As soon as Qi Xu retrieved the traded items, he smelled the strong aroma of the meat!
Goodness, Qi Xu only then realized that since there was no longer any danger of being eliminated, should he shift his focus to improving the quality of survival?
Qi Xu didn't want to eat noodles anymore. He went to the trading mall to exchange for a bowl of fragrant rice.
He also asked Chinese Master Chef to stir - fry the cabbage for him. Taking a mouthful of rice with a bite of the vegetable and then a piece of honey - roasted meat...
Qi Xu thought it tasted really delicious.
Sometimes, ready - made food could be obtained from boxes or mission rewards. Qi Xu had almost always eaten such food in the previous games, but he had to admit that it was definitely not as delicious as what Chinese Master Chef made!
It might sound a bit fantastical, but you could really feel that the food had a soul. It was the same principle that food cooked by an automatic cooking machine was not as fragrant as that cooked by a human!
After Qi Xu finished his meal, he took a comfortable break and took the opportunity to activate the decomposition function of the crafting table.
Then he took out all the boxes in his backpack. There were 8 wooden boxes in total, and the silver box he had first obtained was still on the tricycle as storage.
But soon there would be a new one, so he also decomposed this silver box.
He obtained a total of 16 wooden blocks and 2 silver blocks.
Then, Qi Xu put the blueprint for sanitary pads in and took a look.
The sanitary pads required cotton, which wasn't available in the trading mall. So Qi Xu posted two tasks, each offering two units of gasoline as an exchange.
Just as he was about to close the page, he found someone selling batteries at a very low price. Two bottles of water for two batteries, and he bought them.
Almost as soon as the task appeared, he snapped them up.
Soon, he found someone @ him in the chat hall.
"@Invincible Black Whirlwind, why are you so fast? I made a mistake in the settings. I wanted to exchange two batteries for 20 bottles of water!!! I just wanted to cancel it when it showed the transaction was successful. Friend, can we reverse the transaction? Please."
Qi Xu just ignored it. Well, you had to pay the price for your stupidity.
Then, Qi Xu was going to open the silver treasure chest.
He had gotten a lot of good things from the first silver treasure chest. He hoped this one would be just as good.
Qi Xu took out his long knife and practiced opening the chest without actually opening it twice. After all, his physical data had changed today, and he needed to get used to it first. Better safe than sorry.
He found that both his knife - drawing speed and turning speed had increased!
After making sure everything was okay, Qi Xu skillfully used the tip of the knife to open the chest. Suddenly, a wild boar rushed out and rammed towards him.
Qi Xu frowned slightly. This thing was not easy to deal with. It had thick skin, but it also had an advantage - its meat was very fragrant!
Qi Xu quickly moved to the side, and the tip of the knife made a deep cut on the wild boar's body. Instantly, blood gushed out.
The wild boar didn't have any other attack methods. It just charged straight ahead and didn't know how to dodge. Qi Xu didn't dare to fight it in a long - term physical battle and just wanted to end it quickly. So instead of retreating, he advanced and stabbed the knife into the wild boar's brain.
Qi Xu quickly pulled out the knife and was about to launch another attack when he found that the wild boar was already dead...
Qi Xu only then remembered that this was the benefit of the newbie protection period. All the monsters were as stupid as they wouldn't dodge, and their health bars weren't that thick.
Qi Xu suddenly had the feeling of a big shot returning to the newbie village. For the first time, he felt that he could show off a bit.
After adjusting his breathing, Qi Xu took a photo of the wild boar and sent it to Chinese Master Chef.
The corpses of dead animals could be directly decomposed or handled by oneself. Direct decomposition would involve a middleman taking a cut, which wasn't cost - effective, but it was convenient.
For example, a wild boar would directly turn into a certain amount of pork. You could just take it out and stir - fry it when needed, but the quantity would be much less.
So Qi Xu asked first.
Chinese Master Chef thought Invincible Black Whirlwind was going to praise his excellent cooking skills and delicious food. He didn't expect to see such a big thing!
[Dead wild boar: Wow! This pig weighs a full 300 pounds. It just died. The blood is still warm. It's non - toxic and can be eaten and processed.]
Chinese Master Chef's saliva at the corner of his mouth was out of control. He really wanted to drool.
Chinese Master Chef: "Big shot, don't decompose it! Give it to me! Tell me what supplies you want! I'll exchange them with you even if I have to go bankrupt!"
Invincible Black Whirlwind: "I don't want your supplies. First, tell me the names of the dishes. I only want the cooked dishes you make."
"That's perfect! Wait a minute. I'll see what I can cook with my ingredients now!"
Chinese Master Chef immediately started rummaging through his supplies, thinking about what dishes he could make now!
