Li Yao spent the entire afternoon sharpening her knife, ready to pounce on pigs and sheep... oh no, on zombies.
For example: The zombie in front of you is named Xiaomei. After she became an idiot, she was unfortunately bitten on the gluteus maximus by another idiot zombie, and thus became a limping zombie.
One afternoon, she was teleported to the top of a valley and smelled a sweet fragrance that aroused her primal desires. She desperately rushed towards the scent.
Unbeknownst to her, the instant she moved, her brain was shattered by an energy called psychic power, leaving her sprawled in endless darkness. And so, Xiao Mei became the seventh zombie Li Yao used as a practice subject that day.
Throughout the afternoon, Li Yao kept trying different attack methods. For example, she tried to sense the water and blood in the zombie's body and attempted to use her ice-type ability to freeze the zombie's blood vessels and body water.
In the end, Li Yao successfully captured a zombie covered in ice shards that was still struggling to pounce on her.
After giving the zombie a quick death with mental strangulation, Li Yao continued to freeze zombies. Later, she harvested zombies frozen into ice flakes, the kind that would leave ice shards when she walked away, much like the half-melted, half-frozen popsicles that everyone ate when they were kids.
Later, Li Yao made some improvements, increasing the output of her superpower, and obtained a zombie with a frosty exterior and a crunchy gait. All of its blood froze into ice, hindering the zombie's movement.
Later, Li Yao realized that freezing the whole body was useless unless she could freeze the zombie into an ice sculpture in one go, so this time she only froze the part above the neck, including the head.
Once frozen, the zombie loses its ability to bite because its mouth is frozen and extremely brittle; a single blow can shatter its head, which is very stress-relieving. After Li Yao knocked down an ice zombie, she discovered a downside: the crystal core was hard to find, so she passed on this skill.
After exhausting her ice-type abilities, Li Yao used her fire-type abilities to burn the zombies, focusing on their heads in an attempt to burn their heads to ashes in the most energy-efficient way.
After several attempts, Li Yao discovered that as long as she condensed the flames into a line of fire while her fire-type ability enveloped her head, and then channeled it into her brain through her eyes, nose, and mouth, she could get a roasted brain. Once the brain was cooked, the zombie would naturally lose its ability to move, and under the high temperature, only the skull would remain, with the crystal core falling out of the nasal cavity.
Similarly, after absorbing two level 3 ice crystal cores, Li Yao used the same method, inserting compressed ice threads into the zombie's brain and freezing the entire brain. She found that this would also cause the zombie to lose its ability to move.
Fortunately, Li Yao had practiced "threading a needle" before. This method does not require much use of her superpower; it mainly tests her precise control over her superpower.
After figuring out the method, Li Yao had the system send a few more zombies. She tried to use the same method to deal with three zombies and found it worked very well. The only problem was that after freezing them, she had to manually crack their skulls to extract the crystal cores. However, the energy consumption was not high, and she could use it two or three more times.
The same applies to fire-based abilities; they can easily take down three level-one zombies at once.
As dusk fell, and with a busy day ahead, Li Yao returned to the Invisible House early to finish her meal.
Looking at the menu, Li Yao decided to have something nice for dinner: braised pork, steamed pork with rice flour, boiled shrimp, stir-fried potatoes, eggplant, green peppers, and green beans, a bowl of rice, and honey grapefruit tea.
Braised pork belly truly lives up to its reputation as a dish that goes perfectly with rice. Large chunks of meat in a rich sauce are incredibly delicious when eaten with white rice. The boiled shrimp is also quite good, with only the sweet taste of shrimp and very little fishy smell. The stir-fried green beans are spicy and numbing, with the Sichuan peppercorns fried to perfection. The potato strips in the "Three Treasures of the Earth" dish are sweet, soft, and incredibly delicious.
After dinner, I'll have a small cake of Otto cheesecake to clean up the mess, and then lie on the sofa to watch a movie I downloaded earlier.
