To her even greater surprise, a system notification sounded: [Cooking Master Level 4: 72/1000]
Jiang An was so happy she almost jumped for joy! She never expected that food made by the cooking machine could increase her experience points! This meant she could level up by making more delicious food.
She can also use the cooking machine to make a large quantity of delicious food for sale in her shop.
Jiang An could already imagine the endless stream of trading points flying into her arms in the future.
After lunch, Jiang An enjoyed a satisfying meal and then took a blissful nap.
When she slowly woke up, she rubbed her sleepy eyes and found that the sun was still high in the sky outside, radiating intense heat.
She slowly walked out of the underground safe house. The moment she stepped out of the door, a wave of heat hit her face, and sweat poured down her forehead, soaking her clothes.
She thought to herself, "In such sweltering heat, now is clearly not a good time to go out and collect supplies."
Turning around, I went back inside and sent the two little ones to the workshop to make items.
After settling the two little ones in, Jiang An strolled towards the small living room.
Upon entering the living room, she quickly walked to the ice maker, opened the lid, and took out the ice cubes that had already been made.
Next, she turned on the screen, sent a message to her friend Tian Qing, and then sent her the ice blocks she had harvested.
At this moment, Tian Qing was extremely busy because her sour plum drink was exceptionally popular in the hot weather. Customers were coming in droves and orders were pouring in, to the point that supply could not meet demand.
The ice provided by Jiang An undoubtedly became one of the key factors for Tian Qing's plum juice to continue to sell well.
Not long after, Tian Qing replied: "Received it, An Meizi! How many ice cubes do you have left? Let's not talk about the future, at least for the next few days, I'll take care of all your ice cubes!"
Upon seeing this message, Jiang An's lips curled into a slight smile, and he replied, "No problem, I can supply ice whenever you need it!"
After all, how could one refuse business when it comes knocking on their door? Moreover, Jiang An felt very happy to be able to help her friend Tian Qing.
Tian Qing then sent another message: "Thank you so much, An Meizi! Without your ice, my plum juice wouldn't be as popular as it is now. To be honest, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to survive this extreme heat disaster! I never expected things to turn out this way!"
At this point, Tian Qing across from her broke down in tears, not because of how many trading points she had earned from the plum juice, but because she had found hope in persevering and surviving.
Jiang An looked at the text on the screen and replied with a smile, "There's no need for formalities between us! Besides, I'm being paid!"
-----
Everything was finally completed satisfactorily.
Jiang An gently exhaled, and then took out all the Purple Gold Pills.
She carefully counted them and found that there were still 32 inferior Purple Gold Pills left; the number of ordinary Purple Gold Pills was even more considerable, a total of 96; the most precious were the three newly refined top-quality excellent Purple Gold Pills.
Now, Jiang An has successfully obtained the method for refining the Purple Gold Pill, and she firmly believes that the medicinal effects of the Purple Gold Pill will far exceed those of the Purple Gold Powder.
For this reason, the worst quality Zijin Pills were like chicken ribs to Jiang An—tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.
However, Jiang An did not hesitate or struggle too much.
She decisively turned on the light screen in front of her and quickly sent private messages to some of her friends.
Not long after, one of her friends quickly replied: "Hey, Xiao An, what's up with you today? You've suddenly brought out so many treasures to sell! Tell me quickly, how many Purple Gold Pills are there in total? I want 3!"
Li Xiaoyu: "Wow, wow! How many Purple Gold Pills do you have here? I want them all!"
"I want 5 Purple Gold Pills. What else do you want? I can trade you energy stones for them."
...
Judging from these replies, the allure of Zijin Pills is indeed immense.
Jiang An had only sent the message a short time ago when he received a steady stream of enthusiastic replies from his friends.
Jiang An did some mental calculations and realized that there was a huge shortage of Zijin Pills, which couldn't satisfy all his friends' requests.
The only solution is to reduce the number of friends who reply to each message.
After some haggling, Jiang An's 32 inferior Purple Gold Pills disappeared, but she gained a large number of special items that she needed.
There are raw materials for upgrading the safe house, as well as herbs for her alchemy, and so on.
As the sun gradually set and its golden rays fell upon the boundless desert, Jiang An and his group finally embarked on their journey.
Unlike usual, Jiang An was riding a camel today.
Although the female camel is somewhat thin, she is in the prime of her life and has recovered a lot of energy after a period of careful recuperation.
At this moment, Jiang An sat steadily on the camel's back, with a tortoise and a squirrel beside her.
Surprisingly, even with the two little ones, it seemed to pose no problem for the camel at all.
The camels galloped across the vast desert with light and powerful strides.
"Having a means of transportation really makes things faster!" Jiang An exclaimed as he sat on the camel, feeling the fine sand flying around as it ran.
With camels as a means of transportation, Jiang An did not waste his energy; on the contrary, his speed doubled, which meant he could reach greater distances in future explorations.
Not to mention that once the camels have fully recovered, their speed will increase even further.
Before long, guided by the clever little squirrel, Jiang An and his companions encountered their first harvest of the trip—a vibrant clump of cacti appeared before them.
However, along with this lush greenery came a group of cunning desert lizards.
These lizards are very clever; they cleverly hide in the soft sand, quietly waiting around the cacti for their prey to take the bait.
