As the weather gets hotter, Li Yao doesn't really want to go out anymore.
After washing up each day, Li Yao would habitually exercise in the [Spiritual Spring Space] before going to the Grand Canyon to wait for the system scan.
In the past two weeks, she has successively harvested nearly 20 million level 10, 11, and 12 zombie crystal cores, and more than 40 million level 6, 7, 8, and 9 crystal cores.
Now we're just waiting for the remaining ten million-plus people to advance.
High-level zombies upgrade by devouring zombies of the same level or a large number of low-level zombies. Although Li Yao harvests them whenever there are many high-level zombies, there are still zombies that cannot protect her every day, so in total, only the last ten million or so are left.
Li Yao waits every day, like a fruit farmer guarding an orchard, afraid that others will come and pick the fruit, and also afraid that the fruit will not grow big enough.
Every day, Li Yao tries to deplete her supernatural power as much as possible. This time, she didn't want to go out, so she used her ice-type supernatural power to carve ice sculptures at home.
Ice-type abilities can condense ice in a limited quantity. With this quantity, the ice becomes harder, denser, and less prone to melting.
Li Yao pulled out a video she had downloaded, found a carpenter, and planned to use her mental energy as a carving tool to sculpt an ice sculpture.
She started with the simplest thing to practice, planning to carve a ball first.
That's right, it's a round ball.
The initial wood carving should begin with geometric shapes, just like learning to sketch, starting with drawing circles and cubes.
Li Yao conjured a cube of ice, and then used her mental power to condense a carving knife almost identical to the one in the tutorial video at a fixed point on the plane of the cube, and began to draw a circle.
It was quite difficult at first because the two superpower levels were similar, so either the ice shattered completely, or the mental power was reduced a little and no trace could be left on the ice.
Dazhuang stood to the side, holding a stainless steel basin. He quickly collected the broken or damaged pieces and then put the fruit, cola, and milk tea that Li Yao had placed on the coffee table into the basin to chill them.
The main focus is on avoiding waste.
Li Yao wanted to give him a thumbs up after seeing this.
Unlike carving wood, which can easily lead to giving up if one lacks patience, Li Yao could feel her entire superpower and mental energy becoming highly concentrated each time she condensed ice and used her mental energy to carve it. She could sense that her mastery of her superpower was becoming more and more refined and proficient.
Of course, for Li Yao, who had already given up and was in a bad mood, it took her a week to go from a cube to a round ice puck.
Ice-type and mental-type abilities have also successfully advanced to level 4.
After successfully polishing a sphere bit by bit, Li Yao just wanted to let loose.
She had the system send over four level-three zombies with superpowers, unleashed a "Hellfire" to burn them to their hearts' content, replenished her superpowers three times, set off three fires, and 12 zombies. She felt that the weariness she had developed from playing with ice for a week had finally dissipated.
After returning to the [Spirit Spring Space] and washing up, I treated myself to a hot pot meal.
The four-compartment hot pot base includes tomato, mushroom broth, spicy butter broth, and water.
The dishes include freshly sliced beef, freshly sliced mutton, beef tripe, beef aorta, crispy pork, frozen tofu, fresh tofu, bean curd sheets, gluten, fried gluten, tofu puffs, bamboo shoots, yam, potato slices, sweet potato slices, quail eggs, fried eggs, rice cakes, rice noodles, sweet potato noodles, wide rice noodles, round lettuce, romaine lettuce, ham sausage, fennel mini fried dough sticks, chicken leg mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, and lotus root.
Seafood includes large red prawns, large green prawns, crab legs, large blue crabs, king crabs, Australian lobsters, salmon, and mussels.
Dessert fruits include brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, yogurt pudding, oranges, cucumbers, pineapples, tangerines, and grapefruits.
Drinks include freshly squeezed juice, chilled traditional plum juice from the pharmacy, iced cola, and yogurt.
Li Yao has all the dipping sauces that hot pot restaurants have. She learned her all-purpose dipping sauce online: millet chili, minced garlic, cilantro, chopped green onions, a spoonful of sesame oil, a spoonful of vinegar, a spoonful of soy sauce, and a little sugar.
Seafood dipping sauce: minced garlic, cilantro, sesame seeds, scallions, and chili peppers; one spoonful of oyster sauce, one spoonful of light soy sauce, and one spoonful of garlic sauce.
Hot pot sesame sauce: crushed peanuts, chopped green onions, fermented bean curd, one spoonful of light soy sauce, one spoonful of balsamic vinegar, and two spoonfuls of sesame paste.
Garlic dipping sauce: minced chili peppers, minced garlic, chopped green onions, cilantro, and a small jar of sesame oil.
Classic dry dipping sauce: crushed peanuts, salt and pepper, sesame seeds, and chili powder.
Clear broth dipping sauce: chopped chili peppers, scallions, cilantro, a spoonful of minced garlic sauce, a spoonful of light soy sauce, and a spoonful of balsamic vinegar.
I personally tested it and it's delicious. Li Yao ate so much she couldn't even lift her head.
While eating hot pot, a funny variety show was playing on the TV in front of her, and she didn't have to worry about it being too hot. Li Yao was eating to her heart's content, wearing shorts and a loose t-shirt and a small apron.
Several dogs kept circling around Li Yao because of the delicious smell, but there was nothing she could do; she could only enjoy the treat alone.
After coaxing them by adding eggs and spiritual spring water to their fresh meat, Li Yao ate her rice with peace of mind.
This beef was high-quality beef that Li Yao ordered from a star-rated restaurant. It only needs to be cooked for a few seconds until it changes color before being taken out; it's incredibly tender.
Once the seafood was cooked, Li Yao used her mental energy to conjure a small knife and quickly peeled off the shells, leaving only the meat, without having to lift a finger herself.
After polishing the ice, she became increasingly adept at using her mental powers.
Li Yao leisurely ate her lunch while watching variety shows, taking two hours to finish it.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, all the dishes and utensils that needed washing were put into the dishwasher by Dazhuang, while those that couldn't be washed were put into the [Infinite Space] trash area.
