◎Is this recipe really edible?◎
Unlike old Kuki, when Alec opened the game and faced the race choice, he chose the goblin without hesitation.
The dragon sitting next to him poked his head out and looked at him, then tilted his head in surprise: "Why did you choose the goblins?"
Even though Xiaolong has a goblin as his good friend, and even though he thinks these three races are so weak in combat that they can be subdued with just a flick of the finger, he still reluctantly picked a blood elf from among the noobs, whose magical ability is relatively outstanding, and named him 'The Mighty and Strongest Dragon in the World'.
Compared to the blood elves who possess the magic of turning blood into blades and the undead who possess magic, the goblins whose only ability is digging are obviously not as good as them.
"The goblins are so easy," Alex shrugged. "As for the other two tribes, I don't even know their magical abilities. It's too much trouble to read their introductions."
The world was loaded, and the goblin's spawn point was at the top of a small hill. Alex took a look and his face suddenly became serious.
As the captain of the army, he had rich hunting experience and immediately realized that this should be the nest of the Stone Vulture. He quickly manipulated his character to dig a hole under his feet and then blocked the entrance, leaving only holes for observation and breathing.
If he dug directly to the left at this time, he could escape the hunting range of the Stone Vulture safely, but Alex was not a demon who followed the rules. He rubbed his hands nervously and dug deep into the Stone Vulture's nest.
"It's daytime now, the Stone Vultures should still be hunting. As long as we don't have the bad luck to encounter a Stone Vulture incubating its eggs, we'll be fine," he muttered to himself. "There's often a lot of food in the Stone Vulture's nest. Fortune and wealth are sought in danger."
...
...
As he was speaking, the blood elf controlled by Xiaolong had fallen into the lava and was scalded to death. He let out an "owl" and poked at the screen, not daring to use much force. He just gritted his teeth and vented his emotions: "The blood elves are too weak! There are actually demons who can be scalded to death by lava!"
"And I actually got an achievement called [Lava Burns My Face]!" He was so angry that he fell backwards. "This is a mockery! This is absolutely a mockery!"
"Many demons cannot withstand the high temperature of magma when their magic power is weak," Alex said casually without looking up, concentrating on playing the game, "For example, demons and goblins were not allowed to touch magma before, but now with the king here, everyone's magic power has increased a lot, so they can be safe when touching magma."
As they were talking, the goblins in the game had already dug into the soft soil and were obviously about to enter the nest.
Alex didn't even dare to breathe: "I've never been this nervous when I led a hunting team into a monster's lair!"
The nest was pitch black, but fortunately the goblins, who had long been accustomed to living underground, had the ability of night vision.
He did not leave the tunnel he had dug. Instead, he hooked two pieces of meat with his hands and dragged them into his backpack. He looked around and although he saw a lot of messy feathers, animal skins and other glittering gems piled on the opposite side, he did not linger there. He quickly repaired the hole and turned around and ran away.
"This game is equipped with a space backpack," he told the dragon happily, "Now we don't have to worry about not being able to take all the stuff! It would be great if we could really invent a space backpack someday."
Xiaolong, who had failed twice in such a short period of time, was scratching his head and doubting his life.
"I understand that blood elves can't fly," the little dragon muttered, "but jumping from such a low place can actually kill you? This is too unreasonable!"
Alec, who had already controlled the goblin back to a safe area, paused the game, leaned over to take a look, and was speechless: "Grandfather, this is a cliff! If you throw me down from there and I don't have time to use the levitation magic, I will die."
The little dragon, who had hard dragon scales since birth, blinked his eyes, as if he understood something, and pursed his lips before choosing to start over, this time with much more caution.
Alec shrugged and continued playing the game.
He controlled the goblins and specifically chose places with strong concealment to drill into. He would never show his head if possible. He carefully found a sunken stone, scooped up a bowl of magma, hid back underground, and roasted the stolen animal meat.
"Wow, what's this pop-up window?" Alec said in surprise, looking at the prompt "Congratulations on enabling the cooking function." "You can even cook in this game!"
He got the reward for activating the cooking function, and when he opened it, he saw a tattered recipe book inside.
"The thinnest branch in the roast chicken's nest, black stones thirty meters underground, excrement of the fire weasel pig, feathers of the fire snake, oh my god, there are even mushrooms, so disgusting," Alex read out the ingredients of the recipe with a look of disgust, "Is this recipe really edible?"
The dragon finally survived for five minutes and then died in the monster attack. He collapsed and covered his face: "Is the mushroom the key point? And why can you play so smoothly?!"
…
Within a few days of the new game's release, the topic of discussion among the demons after dinner turned into the habits, characteristics, and identification methods of each monster. The effect was much better than that of the originally released Monster Encyclopedia.
"I heard that a demon named Youwu found the error in the game when the beast tide occurred," said the winged demon Keji while eating baked potatoes and chatting with his familiar Xiliu, "and the magic network maintenance team awarded her a silver coin as a reward."
The familiar sighed, "She's experienced a real beast tide? She's really amazing to have survived such a horrible environment. I experienced it once in the game, and I was so scared that I had nightmares for two nights."
After a few words, they talked about the new survival ranking list in the game. The goblin tribe named "The King is the Best in the World" ranked first with 80 days of game time and zero deaths.
"I don't know who controls this goblin, it's really amazing," Winged Demon Keji said enviously, "I have restarted hundreds of times and have never survived the third day."
The familiar sighed, "Me too. I heard the game has a cooking function. My character couldn't even have a cooked meal."
The dog demon who was also eating next to him couldn't help but interrupt: "I know that the account that is the best in the world belongs to Alex!"
He talked on and on, and when he mentioned that nine of the top ten in the current survival rankings were goblins, everyone couldn't help but feel respect for him.
You know, there are not many demons who choose the goblin character at the beginning. Even so, the goblins are still far ahead in the rankings, which is enough to show their excellent position in survival through digging ability.
"I used to think that although the goblins were smart and could plant and build, their ability to survive was not as good as other demons," said the winged demon Keji. "I was wrong. Just like the king once said, each demon has its own unique power."
"Although goblins are very powerful, blood elves are not bad either!" The Night Dragon, who was passing by the table with a plate of food and happened to hear their conversation, stopped and said proudly, "I used a blood elf character. I died many times in the beginning, but later I found a group of blood elves. After joining them, I was immediately safe! My character was even chosen as the captain of the hunting team!"
The familiar sniffed and opened his eyes wide: "Are you the blood elf ranked eighth on the list? You are amazing. I heard that the chance of encountering a blood elf of the same race in the game is less than one in ten thousand!"
"Of course," the little dragon raised his chin and wagged his tail happily, "I will soon be able to surpass the seventh place!"
Although the start was not smooth and the number of deaths could be counted on one's fingers even in the rankings, the dragon was lucky. He wandered around like a headless fly and unexpectedly met a blood elf tribe that was willing to accept him. From then on, he entered the safe tribal land, learned the blood elf hunting techniques from the elders, and soon became a qualified and excellent blood elf.
Although there was still a big gap between his results and Alex's, Xiaolong firmly believed that it was mainly because he died too many times in the beginning. As long as he caught up, he would surpass him sooner or later.
He finished his meal quickly, said goodbye to the goblin Xili and the winged demon York, ran home happily, took out some jerky snacks to chew on, chose a comfortable position, and opened the game with full morale.
Having won the last competition within the tribe, he had just been chosen as the hunting captain and was preparing to lead the hunting team to hunt in a nearby ravine, where a group of aggressive fire weasels lived.
The original captain had already quit the hunting team and was responsible for taking care of the fire elf cubs in the tribe. He smiled and patted Xiaolong on the shoulder, encouraging him: "For the glory of the tribe!"
If it was the little dragon from the past, he would definitely think that this blood elf was stupid. It was just catching a few fire weasels. What honor was there in that? When he was in the dragon clan, he would not say such nonsense even after he robbed the treasure house of the Beast King.
But after witnessing the blood elf captain fighting with the fire snake and being bitten by the fire snake's fangs, and remembering how he held the prey tightly in his hand so that his fellow tribesmen could have a meal of meat, Xiaolong vaguely understood the meaning of the tribe.
But he didn't think much about it. He swung his dragon's tail, completed the dialogue with the former captain of the blood elves, and then led the blood elves to ambush the fire weasel pig.
They were lucky on this hunt, they did not encounter any powerful monsters and reached the ravine smoothly.
The dragon, who had specifically consulted Alex about hunting methods, commanded the blood elves to dig a large pit, cover it with withered bushes, and lure the fire weasel pigs over.
Watching the fire weasels falling into the pit one after another, the little dragon shouted excitedly: "As expected of me! A super powerful dragon is the best even if it turns into a blood elf!"
The hunting team returned with a full load and was warmly welcomed by the tribesmen. Several blood elf cubs strung the tusks of fire weasels into a necklace and shyly handed it to the little dragon, hanging it around his neck: "Mighty and strong, the second strongest dragon in the world, you are the most valiant warrior of the blood elves."
Even when Xiaolong felt that he was telling the truth by naming his character "The Second Strongest and Mightiest Dragon in the World", he actually blushed.
He shook his head to cover up, then he remembered that the characters in the game couldn't see his expression at all. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and hummed softly: "Does catching a few pigs make you a warrior? Wait, I promise I will find potatoes, and then I won't have to risk my life to go out hunting!"
He controlled the character and took a bite of fire weasel pork. This time he didn't pay attention to the character's slowly recovering satiety. His eyes fell on the blood elves dancing happily around the fire, and he smiled unconsciously.
