At this time, Cao Xing heard a "gurgling" sound in his ears.

It wasn't him who made the sound, but Liu Muxue who was standing beside him.

She was not a strong person to begin with, and she had just been in a battle, which consumed a lot of her energy.

It is normal to feel hungry.

Seeing Cao Xing's gaze, Liu Muxue's pretty face turned red and she buried her head deeply.

"No, sorry..."

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go in first. We need to prepare dinner."

Liu Muxue nodded slightly.

Then they went into the empty lord's hut.

If you want to cook, you must first build the stove.

So, Cao Xing directly found a corner, then clicked on the [Building] interface and started building.

[Whether to consume materials: Stone*8, Wood*4, to build a level 1 simple stove. ]

"yes."

Cao Xing began to build according to the sketch given by the system.

Within a few minutes, a simple stove made of stones appeared in front of Cao Xing.

[Stove: Level 1]

[Defense value: 30]

【Area: 1 square meter】

Cao Xing took out the initial equipment given by the system from the storage box, [Big Black Pot (White)]

Don't underestimate this big black pot. If you break it down, it can be broken down into two pieces of iron.

This time, Cao Xing prepared to make a pot of snake soup first.

In this icy and snowy place, there is naturally no shortage of water.

All Cao Xing had to do was go outside, knock some ice cubes back with a hammer, put them in the pot, and they would melt in a short while.

After the water boiled, Cao Xing threw two palm-sized pieces of snake meat directly into the pot.

These two pieces of snake meat are equivalent to 10 pieces of food, which is quite a luxury.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing threw two more pieces of snake meat in.

Ten minutes later, the rich aroma of meat began to fill the entire cabin.

Liu Muxue, who was huddled aside, couldn't help but raise her head, looked into the pot and swallowed.

"Sister-in-law, it's almost done, just wait a moment."

Liu Muxue lowered her head in embarrassment and replied softly: "Axing, let me take care of the cooking from now on..."

Cao Xing laughed and said, "You will become the lord's woman in the future. How can we do these things?"

"We are short of manpower now. Once we recruit more soldiers, we won't have to cook anymore."

After hearing this, Liu Muxue also smiled gently, "Ah Xing, you really know a lot."

Cao Xing shook his head. "Nothing much. I just play a lot of games on a daily basis."

It was getting darker outside.

The temperature also began to drop rapidly.

After the stove was lit, the temperature in the room had risen to -11℃.

And now, it has dropped to -16℃ in the blink of an eye.

The temperature outside reached an astonishing -50℃.

The cold wind howled, like a bone-scraping knife constantly scraping across the bodies of the polar people.

At this temperature, even with a campfire, it is impossible to work.

Unless we upgrade the campfire into an energy tower later, we will be able to survive a blizzard safely.

At this time, Cao Xing saw several prompts appearing on the territory interface.

[Your territory building [Lumberyard] has been successfully constructed.]

[Your territory building [Market] has been successfully constructed.]

[Your territory building [Small Shelter] has been successfully constructed.]

Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

The work he assigned to the four polar men was finally completed before dark.

So he walked to the door of the lord's hut and said, "Da Zhuang, Er Zhuang, you can all come over and have dinner."

Four polar men swarmed into the lord's hut.

Even Ilena curled up her body and crawled into the wooden house along the wall.

The lord's cottage was only thirty square meters in total, and it suddenly became very crowded.

Liu Muxue had already filled six wooden bowls with meat soup, with melted snake meat floating in it.

The four polar men's eyes lit up and their hands holding the wooden bowls trembled constantly.

But because Cao Xing didn't say anything, they didn't dare to do anything beyond the limit.

At this time, Cao Xing came to the stove, picked up one of the wooden bowls and said, "Although today is only the first day for everyone to get together, I am very satisfied with your performance!"

"To reward you for your hard work, you can enjoy this pot of snake soup."

"Well, let's enjoy our meal!"

At this moment, the four polar men raised the delicious meat soup in their hands, drooling wildly.

Then they shouted at the same time.

"Praise to the great Lord!"

"Praise to the great Second Lord!"

After saying this, the four polar men drank up the meat soup.

A "gurgling" sound was heard.

After a moment, the four polar men showed happy expressions on their faces.

"Oh my god, this is the best meal I've ever had in my life!"

"Er Zhuang, me too! I've never tasted such delicious meat soup underground."

"Everyone, we must remember that all of this is given by the Lord. We must work hard to repay the Lord!"

"I will go through fire and water for you, my lord!"

The four polar men were deeply moved.

A system prompt appears.

[Your territory member: Da Zhuangpin has tasted the delicious snake soup and his loyalty to you has increased. The current loyalty is 85.]

[Your territory member: Er Zhuangpin tasted the delicious snake soup and his loyalty to you has increased. The current loyalty is 80.]

…

The favorability of the four polar people soared, all reaching above 80 points!

With this level of favorability, they would basically do whatever Cao Xing asked them to do.

Cao Xing also noticed Ilena next to him.

Her hunger level has dropped below 50.

Ilena narrowed her eyes and kept spitting out letters, seeming to be very eager to eat.

Cao Xing came to Ilena and asked, "Ilena, do you eat raw or cooked meat?"

Ilena spat out her scarlet tongue and said, "Eat raw meat, my lord."

Cao Xing nodded. He was just about to take out two pieces of snake meat from his backpack.

After thinking about it, Cao Xing let it go again.

So he threw two pieces of wolf meat he had just harvested to Irena.

Ilena took a bite and swallowed it.

She licked her lips and said with a satisfied smile, "Thank you, Lord."

[Your territory member: Ilena tasted the delicious wolf meat and her loyalty to you has increased. The current loyalty is 71.]

Cao Xing noticed that Ilena's hunger level had risen by 10 points and now barely reached 60 points.

This won't work. If you don't feel full for a long time, your loyalty will drop.

Ilena is very powerful, but at the same time, she consumes more food.

Cao Xing thought for a moment, then continued to feed 4 pieces of wolf meat, raising Ilena's hunger value to 80.

"Thank you for your generosity, Lord."

Cao Xing nodded. Fortunately, this time, they went out to hunt and kill two snow wolves.

Otherwise, considering Ilena's appetite, the stored food would not be enough for them to last two days.

Moreover, Cao Xing has an even more powerful recruitment scroll in his hand: Frostwolf Warrior.

It is conceivable that by then, the daily food consumption of two guys with big appetites would reach an astonishing number.

"Starting tomorrow, I have to find a way to collect more food." Cao Xing thought to himself.

Since it is night, there is no way to work or go out to explore.

So Cao Xing asked Ilena and the four polar people to return to their own residences to rest.

After they left, the lord's cottage became empty again.

As for Liu Muxue, she can only stay with Cao Xing until a new residence is built.

Liu Muxue seemed a little nervous at this moment. It seemed that this was her first time to be in the same room with a person of the opposite sex.

However, Cao Xing didn't have any extra thoughts.

Sitting in front of the fire, Cao Xing clicked on the [Chat Channel] on the system interface.

He was going to see how the other survivors were doing.

Open the [World Channel] and you will be flooded with information.

Lin Zixuan: "It's cold! So cold! I'm almost freezing to death!"

Lawrence: "Oh my God! What kind of world is this? My family has run out of food and the campfire is about to go out. Who can come and save us?"

Andre: "Damn it! There's a monster outside the camp, and it bit me!"

Fujiwara Akiko: "My husband has frozen to death. His body is so stiff and cold, sob... "
