Lu Yulan touched her chin and asked, "Now that it's finished, can I take this beast with me?"

After all, it looks pretty good. A fifth-tier beast isn't something an ordinary person can catch, so let's not waste it.

"Take it with you. I have plenty of these."

"Thank you then."

Lu Yulan took out the instrument and tested it. There were no toxins, so it was safe to cook directly.

Cage frowned as he watched her pull out a whole bunch of fancy things, and leaned closer again.

He wasn't trying to make Lu Yulan stand out. "You'd better admit defeat sooner rather than later and stop trying to attract attention."

"This is a fifth-tier beast; you can't break through its defenses!"

Squeak! In a long yet swift and extremely sharp motion, the skin of the fifth-tier beast was completely peeled off.

Cage: ...!

Impossible! How could this be? How could such defense be so easily dissolved by a kitten, like it's swimming through water without leaving a trace?

A mouthful of blood almost rose to his throat. This was a fifth-tier beast, extremely rare. It usually stayed in the high mountains and had a very strong disguise. He had spent a lot of money to buy it, and it was originally intended as a gift for his sister.

After thinking it over for a long time, Cage pointed at Lu Yulan and said.

You cheated!

"How did I cheat? Does that mean I can't use tools to skin people, or is it that Master Cage is being stingy?"

Judging from this, yes, they've completely lost their minds.

Lu Yulan chose an unused knife and cut the snow-white meat slices into finger-widths thick pieces, preparing to braise it according to Xiao Mi's instructions.

It's not really braised, because the sauce is actually a common hot pot broth, which is spicy.

Then put the sliced ​​snow-white meat into the boiling pot. The meat will be cooked in five seconds.

However, perhaps because it is wild, it is not the extended cooking time that makes the meat tough and difficult to chew.

On the contrary, as time goes on, the sweet aroma of herbs and plants begins to emerge from the meat, giving people the feeling of a sudden gust of wind blowing in a forest on a hot summer day. You think it is hot and turbulent, but it is actually a gentle and cool shade.

Because it is made from mineral veins, it is cooked until fragrant, then taken out, cooled, and repeatedly pounded until it becomes minced meat. Garlic paste and mustard are added, then it is coated with cornstarch and egg wash, and deep-fried until golden brown.

"Golden ball, please enjoy."

Watching Lu Yulan cook is already a pleasure, but smelling all the aromas but not being able to eat them becomes torture.

Seeing the aroma wafting into his nose, Cage completely forgot his original purpose and picked up the chopsticks next to him, ready to take a bite.

Cage was somewhat displeased when Lu Yulan stopped him directly, asking, "What do you mean by this?"

"Naturally, it's for the sake of fairness in the competition. We made a bet that you shouldn't be the one to taste this; that would be unfair."

As he spoke, he handed the golden balls directly to the eager logistics students next to him, as well as the students outside who hadn't been talking nonsense.

After one round, the plate was empty.

Actually, Lu Yulan had already won by making the delicious food, but fearing that Kaiqi would cheat, she still gave it to someone else to eat.

"you!"

Cage didn't get to eat, but watching the others eat as if it were a treasure, enjoying it immensely, and even sensing that the breathing of a few of them had become more stable.

"No, make me another one. You don't win until I get to eat it."
