Meanwhile, Chen Ping and Gabriel, who had spent over a year in the desolate sea, remained dedicated to finding fragments of the origin of rules. This time, they obtained a fragment of the origin of rules during their exploration, but unfortunately, it was not the origin of the life rules that Gabriel had been hoping for.

Gabriel pouted, looking slightly dejected, and said, "Sigh, it's not even the origin of the rules of life, how boring."

Seeing Gabriel's disappointed look, Chen Ping couldn't help but tease her, "So what if it's not the origin of the rules of life? It's still a fragment of the origin of rules, why be so picky?"

Gabriel replied lazily, "It's mainly because it's so boring here, and there's not even anything good to eat. The desolate seas truly live up to their name; most of the seas are devoid of any signs of life, and the few areas where there are creatures are simply inedible."

After hearing this, Chen Ping rolled his eyes helplessly: "You little rascal, you're just greedy, aren't you? No wonder you're always so fond of the origin of the rules of life."

The two of them traversed hundreds of areas in the desolate sea, collecting a considerable number of fragments of the origin of rules, especially fragments of the origin of the rule of life, which they had already gathered 90%. They only needed to find two more fragments of the origin of rules to piece together a complete origin of the rule of life.

Because Chen Ping and Gabriel agreed that they would not leave the desolate sea area until they had collected a complete copy of the origin of the rules, Gabriel cared so much about the results of each search.

Seeing Gabriel's dejected look, Chen Ping put the newly acquired source of rules into his pocket, then stroked his chin and pondered. To comfort Gabriel, he decided to buy some food from the chat group.

After living in the deserted sea area for more than a year, she had almost eaten up all the snacks on the yacht. The few remaining packets were treasures to her, and she would only open one when she was extremely hungry.

As dusk approached, Chen Ping summoned the luxury yacht and said, "It seems it's getting late, let's get some rest early tonight. Gabriel, you go take a shower first, I'll shower later."

Gabriel scratched her cheek sheepishly after hearing Chen Ping's words, then nodded in agreement: "Are you resting so early today? Okay, I'll go take a shower first."

After Gabriel entered the room, Chen Ping sat on the sofa and opened the chat group to place an order for food. Watching the group members eagerly grabbing orders, Chen Ping suddenly remembered that the chat group system wizard had been offline for almost two years, and couldn't help but wonder: why did it take so long to register a name? This made him marvel at the scale of the system world—just how many systems existed there?

Chen Ping mentally estimated the vast number of systems that might exist in the world, while continuing to operate within the chat group, selecting food that suited Gabriel's tastes. At the same time, he began to miss the system sprite that was always active in the chat group, offering various forms of assistance, and hoped for its early return. After all, without the system sprite, there was no one to earn chat group points for him.

Although he currently possesses millions of points, who knows how many points it will take to break through from Taiyi Golden Immortal to Daluo Golden Immortal? After all, Daluo Golden Immortal is already a forbidden level of existence.

In the chat group, the three tasks he posted—requiring 100 chat group points for snacks, a dozen delicious dishes, and various drinks—were quickly snapped up by three group members. These three tasks, each with its own unique features, were designed to enrich their lives in the desolate sea.

The group members who successfully secured the task only briefly showcased their achievements in the group chat before immediately getting to work on preparing the task items. Soon after, the first member submitted a snack task. Chen Ping quickly received the task, and the sheer volume of snacks nearly filled the yacht. Fortunately, he promptly stored them in his personal space, thus avoiding an embarrassing situation of overcrowding.

Chen Ping nodded in satisfaction and neatly placed the bags of snacks into the yacht's storage locker. Soon, the locker was full again, with a dazzling array of snacks arranged in an orderly fashion.

The second beverage task was then successfully completed. This batch of beverages mainly consisted of cocktails, beer, and red wine, with a small amount of spirits interspersed, as well as some modern drinks such as sugary sodas. Chen Ping once again demonstrated his efficient storage skills, filling the yacht's refrigerator with beverages.

When the last task was completed, more than a dozen delicious dishes were presented to Chen Ping. He placed them one by one on the table, and instantly, the enticing aroma filled the yacht, adding a touch of warmth and comfort to their life in the deserted sea.

......

"Hmm? What's that smell? Wow, Chen Ping, I think I smell something delicious, and it smells like my favorite big chicken leg! My mouth is watering!" Gabriel's voice came from the bathroom. Then the door creaked open, and Gabriel, wearing a scarf that was clearly not enough to cover her graceful figure and with her hair half wet, walked out following the scent.

She closed her eyes in blissful ecstasy, her nostrils flaring slightly, and slowly moved towards Chen Ping. Chen Ping looked at her like this and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

Chen Ping teased, "Gabriel, you came out wearing only my scarf? I feel like this scarf is mine, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Gabriel pouted and muttered, "Of course I know it's your scarf. I accidentally got my own scarf wet while I was taking a shower, so I'm just borrowing yours."

Chen Ping continued teasingly: "Why didn't you change your clothes after taking a shower? My scarf is too small, and you're almost completely exposed now. Also, why are you walking with your eyes closed?"

Gabriel replied nonchalantly, "So what if I'm exposed? There's no one else here. I closed my eyes because I was afraid that if I opened them, even the aroma of the big chicken leg would disappear. I want to smell it to my heart's content first!" As she spoke, she continued to revel in the tempting aroma that filled the air.

Well, Chen Ping looked at Gabriel, who was completely absorbed in the moment, with a complicated expression. Then he blinked, picked up a large chicken leg with a grin, walked up to Gabriel, and waved it in front of her nose.

"Wow! Chen Ping! The aroma of my giant chicken leg seems so strong, it's like it's right in front of me! Do you think if I open my eyes now, the giant chicken leg will really appear in front of me and then disappear after I take a bite?"

Smash it, smash it!!!

Gabriel: "Huh? Chen Ping, what are you doing? Why are you making that 'smashing' sound?"

Chen Ping took a bite of the fragrant chicken leg and said, "No, it's nothing, I'm just eating a chicken leg."

Gabriel: "Oh, eating a big chicken leg? I thought you..."

"What! A giant chicken leg?!"
