Chapter 89 March 1st Update

Bowl after bowl of cold-resistant soup was sold, and the mastery of the recipe had already reached 100% after making the 100th pot of soup, and the cooking time was shortened to the shortest possible time.

Nowadays, it only takes half a minute to stew a pot of fish, and vegetable soup can be made in 10 seconds, with 5 small bowls in each pot.

There has been no movement since then. I thought the recipe had reached its limit, but shortly after opening tonight, Yu Zhu heard the familiar game prompt sound again.

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully making 200 pots of fish stew. The cold resistance effect has been increased to 30%, and the duration has been increased to 1 hour and 30 minutes!]

The benefit of the fish soup has been improved again, with cold resistance +10% and a duration of +30min. This surprised the old customers who bought it later. At first, they thought it was an illusion, but after re-checking the instructions of the fish soup, they found that the benefit effect had really changed.

Yu Zhongkai: **, the fish soup Boss Yu sells gets warmer the more you drink it. Why does it feel even better than the last time I drank it?

[An Fangbin: Looks like the buff has been upgraded! It now has a 30% cold resistance effect, and even lasts for half an hour longer!]

Xue Shanming: Don't be mistaken! How can the cold-resistant food we sell have a higher content than 20%? Stop trying to fool people!

Liao Yun: Exactly. That's too much! I just had it, and it was still fresh and hot, just like before. I didn't notice any changes.

…

As soon as the news came out, it caused a lot of discussion and attention. There were also people trying to stir up trouble, not to cause trouble, but just to take advantage of the situation.

Players who took the lead in expressing doubts in the chat area were completely different in private. They were placing orders frantically, fearing that they would not be able to get a front-row seat.

Xue Shanming: Boss Yu! Give me another bowl of fish soup!

Liao Yun: Banban! Hungry! Food! Soup!

Yu Zhu had just gone through the peak period of the opening, and now he has entered the peak period again, which is even busier than when the business first opened.

Even if someone "denies" it, Yu Zhu's reputation is so good that she doesn't even need to respond to the matter. Smart people can see the tricks in the chat area with just a little brain, distinguish the truth from the false, and line up to place orders. By the time the slightly cautious/slow players react, the number of numbers they have received has almost reached three digits.

Yu Zhongkai: That's enough! I just went to place an order and the queue is already number 89! It's only been a few minutes!

[Lezhi: Some people keep saying they don't believe it, but when it comes to placing orders, their hands are faster than anyone else's!]

[Dai Tingqin: I've been fooled. It's all a conspiracy! Conspiracy!]

[An Fangbin: Damn you, a bunch of cunning villains! ]

…

In the past two days, there have been many competitors selling cold-resistant food. When the buffs of the food they sell are not much different, players will definitely choose the ones they like. After all, drinking fish soup all the time will make you tired of it, and it is inevitable to want to change the taste.

A balance has been formed among the various businesses. Although Yu Zhu still sells the most, the others are not too far behind. Following the big guys, they can pick up some shredded pork and the whole market is very stable. The rise of fish soup is bound to break all this. It has already been sold out, and everyone has a bowl.

Among them, there are naturally players who rush to buy fish soup before the upgrade, and some people will feel unbalanced. After all, why should others get better results when they spend the same price?

Despite this, no one dared to bother Yu Zhu. They knew it was probably due to a recipe upgrade, and Yu Zhu wasn't a pushover. Who dared to pick a fight? They had to consider their own strength. Few players who had survived until now were truly foolish. Instead of looking for trouble, they might as well go buy another bowl. Even their peers, ignoring the decline in business, rushed to place their orders and queue up. Nothing was more important than saving their lives at this moment.

10:30 PM

Yu Zhu was busy for more than two hours and sold more than a thousand bowls. You can imagine how popular his business is.

After sitting for a whole night, she finally had time to get up and stretch her muscles. She put on a heavy coat and planned to go for a walk on the raft, get some fresh air, and take a look at the situation outside.

Tonight was much colder than the previous two days. Even Xinni and Meihua were guarding the campfire, their fur about to be roasted. In front of them was a large wooden bowl filled with steaming fish soup. The two little ones shared a bowl and drank from it from time to time to drive away the cold.

Before leaving, Yu Zhu also drank a big bowl. She was fully armed with only her eyes exposed. Then she pushed open the door and went to the ranch first. There was an area covered with sheds, which was crowded with white and tender sheep. There were two similar ranches. The other one was newly bought and housed 15 newly collected sheep.

As the white light shone, the flock of sheep all looked up at her. They seemed to be in good condition, so Yu Zhu felt relieved. She had originally thought that if they couldn't stand the cold, she would put them all in the inventory.

It turns out that both the lambs and the flowers and plants are tougher than imagined. It may be that the corresponding buildings have invisible protection mechanisms, otherwise the mortality rate would be too high.

After inspecting the raft, Yu Zhu came to the doghouse, squatted down, and gently knocked on the window. A few furry little bees poked out. After a while, the queen bee flew out. The fur was so thick that it became more and more adorable as it grew longer, making people want to put it in their pockets and take it away.

As soon as the queen bee appeared, she couldn't stand the cold wind and was blown to the point of being shaky and about to break. Yu Zhu understood this very well. She raised her hand and took the queen bee into her palm, covering it with both hands to block the cold sea breeze.

Yu Zhu asked in a low voice: "Do you want to come back to the house with me? It will be even colder later."

The voice was muffled behind the scarf, but it made Bee feel warm inside.

The queen bee clung to her fingers lovingly, then shook her head firmly, almost wavering.

Queen Bee: "Buzz buzz buzz!"

Don't worry! I can do it! We can do it!

As early as the moment she decided to go with Yu Zhu, the Queen Bee had thought of everything.

Leaving the comfortable growth circle where you have lived for many years, facing unknown difficulties and obstacles, various challenges, benefits and risks coexist.

They are naturally not here to enjoy themselves. It is comfortable to stay in the forest, but it is difficult to break through the upper limit. The queen bee is a queen bee with great goals. Especially after she and Yu Zhu killed the giant snake BOSS, her desire to be unwilling to be an intermediate bee became stronger and stronger, and she became more and more eager to be promoted to a high-level bee.

What's the big deal about the severe cold? It's just the beginning, a small hurdle. Don't be afraid!

After sticking with it for a few seconds and confirming that the queen bee did not need help, Yu Zhu put it back. It was still too cold outside. Even though it was covered in the palm of her hand, the queen bee was still shivering from the cold, and her trembling little legs looked very pitiful.

The queen bee slowly calmed down after crawling back into the beehive in the doghouse and feeling surrounded by the swarm of bees. She rubbed her hands and straightened the hair that had evolved on her body to make herself look more majestic. She commanded the swarm of bees to be tighter, leaving no extra gaps, and maintain the temperature as much as possible, as she still had a "tough battle" to fight at night.

After seeing everything there was to see on the raft, Yu Zhu quickly ran back to the cabin. He couldn't go fishing tonight, so after communicating with Youxi, the spot was reserved for tomorrow.

When she pushed open the door of the cabin, a warm feeling hit her face. She unbuttoned her coat, and two green birds flew out from her arms. Yu Zhu had extended an olive branch to them when she inspected the greenhouse.

Unlike the queen bee, the two little ones accepted it without any hesitation, and stuck to Yu Zhu to go into the cabin to warm themselves by the fire. They didn't want to suffer at all, and just went wherever it was warm. So they were brought back in Yu Zhu's arms, and now they were flying towards the campfire very actively and landed beside the single bed.

Yu Zhu hung his coat on the hanger and sat back to cook soup for half an hour until there were no more orders. Then he took a hot bath. The projector was playing a funny variety show, and bursts of laughter could be heard. Compared with the past, the place was less quiet and seemed particularly lively.

After changing into pajamas, she sat on the footrest of the sofa. There was an electric fan next to her, slowly drying her wet hair. Then she got into the warm bed, which contained a hot water bottle.

The footstool was right next to the single bed. Meihua did not go back to her nest, but slept on the footstool. There was a bonfire in front and an electric heater in the back. It was fully equipped and warmer than any other place in the cabin.

Even on the coldest night in recent days, Yu Zhu did not freeze. The little ones surrounded by warmth were already drowsy and fell asleep near Yu Zhu.

Yu Zhu hugged Xinni and rubbed her fur with his hands. He felt a little sleepy, but it was not time to go to bed yet.

Her situation was leisurely and comfortable, but the situation of others was not optimistic, and the chat area was filled with sad voices.

[Chen Yuexin: It's so cold, I feel like I'm freezing to death, my limbs are frozen...]

Dou Wei: The temperature at sea is truly unscientific. How can this be a way to survive? It's clearly a way to die!

[Xi Qiu: I've tried so hard. I just want to survive. Why is it so difficult?]

…

At first, there were players comforting each other, but gradually the voices became less and less, because the temperature kept dropping, and no one even had the mood to joke around.

Perhaps it was due to the increasingly dead atmosphere that everyone didn't know what to say.

In the face of true death, any concern without substance is pale in meaning.

Most people are struggling to take care of themselves and are barely avoiding freezing to death, while the few who are in a good situation all remain silent tacitly. Without any relatives or friends, it is impossible for them to use their own resources to help others. People have to think about themselves and the future.

At the same time, Yu Zhu also fell into deep thought. Just like the previous mission, she intuitively felt that there would definitely be a breakthrough, which the player needed to explore on his own.

Now she has top-notch configuration among players, thanks to conquering the intermediate island and getting equipment and wooden houses, but it is destined to be an exception.

Normally, 99% of players only conquer ordinary islands and then obtain buildings such as greenhouses, ranches, dog houses, etc.

Among them, the greenhouse has the highest constant temperature effect, which is obviously the key to this mission. Combined with campfire + cold-resistant food, it is not difficult to survive. The difficulty lies in the fact that the greenhouse is too expensive. It is already considered a high-end survival building, and too few people can afford it. If they can't afford it, they can only choose to buy other buildings to stack buffs. There are even many people who can't even afford the buffs.

After all, not everyone can swim and has a good physique, so what should they do?
