Chapter 127: Perfect Roast Meat
Chapter 127: Perfect Roast Meat
Lin Sai initially selected three types of crops for cultivation.
Currently, the winter wheat and potatoes have successfully grown, while the cabbage has yet to thrive, but such a harvest is already sufficient.
After dealing with the crops, Lin Sai felt a surge of excitement that he couldn't contain.
Although it was already nighttime, he still wanted to go out for a walk to calm his excitement.
He walked to the door, fed the chicken in the coop, and then Lin Sai walked alone in the night streets.
At this moment, he opened his attribute panel and claimed the reward for the quest 【Cultivate New Cold-Resistant Crops】.
【Survival Construction Level: 2→3】
【Survival Construction Skill: Food Crafting】
【Food Crafting: Cook with selected ingredients to create various foods beneficial for survival.】
【Note: Even if you catch a fish and slice it into sashimi, it will still increase your stamina.】
"Hehe, hehehe..."
In the pitch-black night, Lin Sai walked alone, unable to hold back his laughter.
In the past, a module upgrade was already a significant event that brought him joy.
But today, with the successful cultivation of plants, it was a double celebration worth celebrating.
In his excitement, he didn't even bother to go home.
At this moment, he arrived at the center of the town.
Right below the statue of the Great Adventurer Pollo, Lin Sai created a campfire and took out two pieces of beast meat for cooking.
The 【Game Player】 skill was as simple and easy to use as always.
After spending Essence, the beast meat on the fire immediately displayed a curved red progress bar with a needle hovering above it.
The needle moved left and right on the bar, its position constantly changing at varying speeds.
"..."
Lin Sai's mouth curled into a confident smile.
As a player, he was very familiar with this simple cooking gameplay.
With his exceptional vision and reaction speed, Lin Sai aimed and issued a stop command just as the needle was about to reach the green section.
Snap! At that moment, the needle's speed suddenly accelerated, crossing the narrow green section and finally stopping on the yellow progress bar.
【Food: Roast Meat (Excellent)】
【Well-made roast meat, eating one portion increases Stamina Recovery Speed and grants a small boost to Strength. Lasts for half an hour.】
【Excellent outdoor survival food.】
"This..."
"Why can't this needle listen to me!"
Lin Sai's good mood instantly vanished.
However, he became serious.
Facing the second piece of roast meat and its progress bar, Lin Sai put aside all thoughts of casually playing the game. He focused intently, his eyes fixed on the constantly moving needle.
During this time, he even missed a few opportunities to stop the needle at the right moment.
He waited for the most opportune moment.
A few seconds later, when the needle changed speed again and was about to land in the green section without any theoretical surprises,
"Stop!"
Snap—the needle came to a steady stop in the green section.
【Food: Roast Meat (Perfect)】
【Perfect roast meat! Eating one portion increases Stamina Recovery Speed, grants a small boost to Strength, Agility, and Constitution. Lasts for half an hour.】
【Perfect food!】
"That's more like it!"
Lin Sai's good mood returned.
He happily picked up the perfect roast meat and took a bite.
"..."
"What? This is too absurd!"
In the blink of an eye, a piece of meat was placed on a rack and roasted for a while.
But the fact was, this perfectly roasted meat had a salty, fragrant, and tender texture. Lin Sai took a bite, and the delicious juices filled her mouth, with the aroma of the meat still emanating from the roasted texture.
She then began to chew, and after the slightly charred and crispy outer layer, the perfectly tender meat fibers were just right, with a hint of smoky and grilled flavor lingering on her lips and teeth. The wonderful taste almost burst out from her nose!
Just like that, one bite.
This was the epitome of enjoyment!
After Lin Sai savored the perfect roast meat, she took another bite of the high-quality roast meat.
"Ugh—"
She realized her taste buds had become more discerning.
The high-quality roast meat was indeed a well-done piece of food, even better than what Lin Sai could make herself.
"But it doesn't taste as good as I thought..."
Lin Sai sat cross-legged under the statue, then took out two more pieces of beast meat to roast.
After eating two more pieces of perfectly roasted meat, her stomach was full, and even her Life Essence gave her a satisfying feedback.
"Burp!"
Lin Sai burped, leaning back against the statue.
At this moment, the sky had turned completely dark, and a sense of satisfaction shone through Lin Sai's eyes.
She casually opened her attribute panel and found that her three attributes had indeed increased by one point, with an additional half-hour countdown at the end, reminding her of the duration.
"Where should I add the experience from the quest..."
She muttered to herself, and in that moment, she also glanced at her skill panel.
Cooking (Mastery).
"..."
"Why did I learn to cook in the first place?"
Lin Sai couldn't help but question herself.
To be blunt, the cooking skills at the Mastery level couldn't produce such perfect food. According to Lin Sai's understanding of skills, even if she reached the Proficiency or Master level, making such food wouldn't be that simple.
If she wanted to improve a skill to a higher level...
In that case, the required experience would be beyond her current imagination.
However, with the help of skills, as long as she had patience and accuracy, she could make perfect food.
"Have I caused myself a serious sense of frustration?"
Lin Sai twitched her lips, feeling both annoyed and amused.
But there was no issue with that. After all, the Game Player's skill panel was also one of her abilities, and she couldn't be too hard on herself. She savored the warmth in her stomach and the lingering delicious taste in her mouth.
Lin Sai gave up her hesitation and gazed at the shining stars in the sky, gently closing her eyes.
She enjoyed the comfort the perfect roast meat brought her.
As the saying goes, a full stomach leads to thoughts about the future and ideals.
Lin Sai's thoughts also returned to the question she had pondered before—how to break through the Black Mountain Wyvern.
A quarter of an hour passed.
When the sense of satisfaction in her mouth gradually faded, Lin Sai slowly opened her eyes.
The statue of the Great Adventurer Pollo was right in front of her.
The stone-gray finger of this expedition leader pointed forward.
It seemed to be pointing towards the unknown edge of the western world, but also towards the endless sky full of stars.
A flash of lightning seemed to strike through Lin Sai's mind.
Inspired by this scene, she realized a direction she hadn't thought of before: "Indeed, there are no strong individuals in this area who can defeat the Black Mountain Wyvern."
"But it wasn't like this in the past!"
