In the end, the group of people paid the "tuition" obediently.
When Qianyue pulled them out of the icy pond, the group of people were almost frozen silly, trembling even when they spoke, and there was no trace of the arrogance they had before.
The old man next to him seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Finally, he silently took out a few fish from the bucket as a thank you.
"Alright, alright, that's enough, just lend me the shovel again."
If Qianyue’s backpack wasn’t full and she couldn’t carry any more things in her hands, she would really like to accept them all.
"A shovel? Just use it." The old man threw the thing to her and reminded her, "But I'm not giving it to you, I'm borrowing it."
Qianyue: "...I'll return it to you in a while."
Is there still some basic trust between people? Is she the kind of person who only borrows and never returns? (Remember this sentence)
"Forget about it for now. Just return it to me when you meet me later. I should go back now. The snow is getting heavier and heavier. I don't think I'll be able to leave the house in two days."
The old man sighed and said, "Fortunately, you chose a good location yesterday. This hole is more likely to catch fish than other places." Otherwise, his family would not know what to do now.
Before leaving, he hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Girl, the snow cave is still not safe. If you have nowhere to stay, you can come to the village to the west to find me. My last name is Xie."
Qianyue was stunned when she heard this. In the current situation, every household has to live in seclusion, for fear of being targeted.
At first, Mr. Xie was even wary of traveling with her, but now he took the initiative to ask her to stay at his house.
This is really...
"Thank you. I'll think about it."
Qianyue now completely believed what Yu Chengyi had said before about "favorability".
Day 5.
Outside the cave, the wind was howling and the snow was falling heavily on the ground.
Qianyue dug a new large arc-shaped snow cave next to her own snow cave, which looked a bit like a stove.
Because the entrance was wide open, this snow cave wasn't very warm, but it was windproof. Also, because of the wide entrance, Qianyue could build a fire in the cave without worrying about the snow melting inside.
As for the other snow cave used for living...
Last night in the middle of the night, Qianyue was alert and did not fall asleep as usual, but got up in the middle of the night to take a look.
Sure enough, the snow at the entrance of the cave had piled up to half its height. If Qianyue had not cleared it in time, she would probably have been buried in it by now.
During the process, Qianyue also encountered several wolves, but later they all turned into meat and wool in her hands.
"Is it going to snow for ten days straight..." Qianyue muttered, looking at the snow. Bubbling gurgled from a bowl placed on the fire nearby.
This bowl was the begging bowl she picked up when she was mistaken for a beggar. Qianyue washed it with snow water and roasted it over fire several times to disinfect it before using it to cook fish soup.
The water was boiled with clean snow, the fish was obtained from Uncle Xie, and most of the firewood was the tuition paid by the group of people in the ice pond.
However, what Qianyue didn't expect was that after all the hard work, the food she made was not very good.
Fish Soup
Description: A dish made from snow water and fish, it has no other flavors besides the smell of meat and fish. It restores 1 point of health.
1 o'clock...
Do you dare to be more careful?
Qianyue thought about the situation when she dug the first snow cave, and wondered: So no matter the quality of the props themselves, as long as they are products outside the rules of the game system, they will either not be recognized or default to the lowest attributes?
It turns out to be just a beta game, and it is impossible to truly achieve complete freedom.
Qianyue sprinkled some of the seasoning she bought yesterday, and then watched the properties of the fish soup change from "1" to "5".
“…” is fine, it’s better than nothing.
Anyway, she didn't have much else on hand, but she had handfuls of fish and snow.
As she thought about this, Qianyue noticed that there was an extra line of text in the item properties of the seasoning:
[Number of uses remaining: 9]
“…”
Putting away the bowl of sad fish soup for the time being, Qianyue silently took out her braised pork elbow.
【Secret Food-Spiced Pork Knuckle】
Description: A truly delicious dish made with carefully selected pork knuckle and a secret recipe. Fatty yet not greasy, with a delicious flavor. Restores 30 points of health.
“It smells really good…”
The girl was wearing a thick cloak, looking at the heavy snow outside the cave, sitting cross-legged beside the warm fire, biting the fragrant braised pork elbow, and couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly.
This is the life a salted fish should live.
On the sixth day, the snow had obviously subsided.
Early in the morning, Qianyue shoveled away the snow at the door and looked around. There was not even a living creature within a kilometer around.
At this time, her warehouse situation is as follows:
Brown Bread x24, Isatis Root x23, Meat Item Fragment x14, Mental Suppressant x5, Wool Item Fragment x5, Firewood x5, Thatch x3, Barbecue Drawing x2, Bandage Drawing x1, Flint x1, Seasoning x1, Oil Lamp x1, Ice Pick x1, Shovel x1, Rope x1
Because the backpack could only hold fifty items, Qianyue took out the big items such as the ice pick, snow shovel, oil lamp, and straw separately.
Similarly, Qianyue also hid some of the moisture-resistant items such as isatis root, mental suppressants, and meat in the snow house, otherwise it would not be able to fit them all.
If we count the props Qianyue squandered in the past two days, the number would probably be even more astonishing.
When she made the Salted Fish Plan, she only considered how many props to collect, but didn't think about how to store them.
Now that the extra things are hidden in the snow, I can't help but worry that they will be discovered and stolen if I leave them even for a short while.
Qianyue couldn't help but sigh: "Being too rich is also a sin."
…
I don't know how those people who were cheated by Qianyue before would feel if they heard this_(:з」∠)_
After sighing, Qianyue checked her character's status, then quickly lit a fire and made three more servings of broth with the remaining seasonings.
Logically speaking: Under normal circumstances, no matter who you are, you will probably feel tired of eating the same food for several meals in a row.
But Qianyue is not an ordinary person. For her, having cooked food to eat is enough, and the taste is not important at all.
After three bowls of broth and a piece of bread, Qianyue's physical strength returned to the healthy level of 80. She burped symbolically, leaned against the wall and looked out of the cave idly. She felt that the snow seemed to be getting lighter and lighter.
"It won't stop tomorrow..."
She just said it casually, but she didn't expect that when she woke up the next morning, she would be faced with a golden sunshine.
