Xia Baizhi said excitedly, "Come on, I'll take you to see the pink cow."
"Pink beef?" Yu Xiangnan asked, somewhat puzzled.
Before she even stepped into the courtyard, a faint smell of blood wafted into her nostrils.
Upon closer inspection.
There's a cow in the courtyard?
No, to be precise, it was the carcass of a cow.
This cow wasn't large, but it was entirely pink, with a pure pink coat, quite unlike ordinary cattle. There was a wound on its neck, the blood of which had already dried.
This scene, placed next to the previous cozy and lived-in villa, seems out of place; the sense of incongruity is hard to describe accurately in words.
She thought Xia Baizhi was referring to the "pink cow" in the context of yellow and pink cows, but it turned out to be a real "pink cow"...
Xia Baizhi walked up to the pink cow and introduced it with great interest: "This cow is called the [Grumpy Pink Cow]. Eating its meat will unlock a hidden achievement, and the reward for this achievement is quite generous."
"I was incredibly lucky and stumbled upon it while in the [Reward Dungeon]. This cow suddenly appeared out of nowhere, probably not thinking straight. It was trying to ambush me, but it accidentally crashed into a tree and nearly killed itself, which is how I got the big advantage. I didn't have much food on me at the time, so I roasted some to eat, and unexpectedly triggered a hidden achievement."
As he spoke, Xia Baizhi warmly invited Yu Xiangnan to taste it together: "Come on, let's cut it up, heat up the oil, I promise I won't lie to you!"
Yu Xiangnan nodded.
This scene instantly brought back memories of when she encountered the NPC "Rona Crocodile" in the "Chaos Dungeon." Back then, Bu Ya, along with Huo Qingyi, caught and roasted the crocodile in the dungeon. They had only intended to eat something simple to fill their stomachs, but who would have thought that the roasted crocodile meat would taste so exceptionally good.
Moreover, what Xiaobai said is not wrong. There is indeed such a hidden achievement in the game, called "Top 0 Foodie".
To achieve this achievement, players need to find the special NPC "Grumpy Pink Cow" and successfully eat its meat, whether raw or cooked.
The "Grumpy Pink Cow" type of NPC is extremely rare, usually only appearing in "Reward Dungeons." Moreover, even if a player is lucky enough to encounter it, they will most likely not eat its meat unless they know about the related achievement beforehand.
The rewards for this hidden achievement are also very generous.
After Yu Xiangnan readily agreed, the two immediately got busy in the courtyard.
Xia Baizhi first took a grill from inside the house and skillfully lit the charcoal fire, while Yu Xiangnan cut the beef into even, thin slices and placed them on the grill.
Instantly, a sizzling sound rang out, and the aroma of meat began to fill the air.
As the temperature rises, the meat slices gradually change color, and the oil seeps out, dripping onto the charcoal fire. The aroma becomes increasingly rich, mixed with the smoky scent of the charcoal fire, making one's mouth water.
A hot pot was set up on the stone table in the courtyard. Xia Baizhi brought over a pot of delicious broth that had been simmering for a long time and poured it into the pot. The broth simmered and bubbled in the pot, and wisps of steam rose up.
She then placed the chopped vegetables, mushrooms, and other ingredients on a plate to the side.
The two sat down with the grilled meat in their hands. Xia Baizhi then put some slices of pink beef into the hot pot. After rolling around in the pot for a few seconds, the tender slices of meat quickly changed color and were coated with a layer of delicious broth, melting in the mouth.
That's amazing.
One can neglect sleep, but one must not forget to eat.
drop--
[Achievement]: Top 0 Foodie
[Reward]: (★★★★★) [Invincible Pink Cow Mask] *1, Conquest Points *1500
The two of them ate until their bellies were round and they were so full that they slumped down on the benches in the courtyard.
A gentle breeze caressed my cheeks, and rays of sunlight bathed me all around.
This peace and tranquility had not been experienced for half a year.
After a while, Yu Xiangnan said with a smile, "I didn't come empty-handed this time either; I brought some good things with me."
As she spoke, she took out a green notebook from the card booklet, along with two bags of random snacks... no, random supplies—four-star potato chips that had just been produced by the machine not long ago.
"This contains three hidden achievements, all with very generous rewards and low difficulty. One of them is related to the [Artist] profession, and another rewards a five-star defense card and a large number of Conquest Points."
"As for these two bags of potato chips... you can take them into the survival dungeon to eat. Not only will they satisfy your cravings, but you'll also get random buffs after eating them."
Hearing Yu Xiangnan's words, Xia Baizhi was deeply moved, her eyes sparkling as she said, "You told me such precious hidden achievement information and snacks so easily? I love you so much, mwah mwah mwah mwah!"
Before she finished speaking, she rushed towards Yu Xiangnan with great enthusiasm.
Yu Xiangnan's lips twitched, and a look of disgust appeared on his face. He dodged Xia Baizhi's pounce with ease and said in a serious tone, "Calm down, my sexual orientation is normal."
Xia Baizhi narrowed his eyes. "So what? Love is diverse and inclusive... Ahhh, don't run away. Whose love do you think you're accepting?"
"Fine, so you're playing hard to get with me, huh?"
"......"
The two chatted back and forth, circling around the courtyard, chasing each other, and after a brief playful fight, they turned to cleaning up the mess.
Yu Xiangnan quickly collected the bowls one by one, and then walked with Xia Baizhi to the sink to wash them.
As if she had thought of something, her expression changed slightly, and she asked, "Xiaobai, are you familiar with the situation at the National Special Administration, which is your guild? The guild war is in two days. Not only will there be internal competition within Blue Star, but also battles against players from Crescent Star."
"Our guild?" Xia Baizhi thought for a moment and nodded in response. "Recently, it seems that my guild has had a conflict with a Crescent Moon player guild."
"The Crescent Star players' guild?" Yu Xiangnan looked doubtful.
"Um!"
Xia Baizhi answered definitively, "It's that [Wanxiang] that pushed your guild to second place. It was created by a player from Crescent Moon Star, and the guild leader is named Wu Shu. Last time the rankings were released, he seemed to be number one on the [Spiritual Power Ranking].
"Our guild members are all cursing them. It's one thing to be super arrogant on weekdays, but yesterday they even posted something to incite conflict, openly and subtly saying that we Blue Star players are bad. Now it's not just our guild, many Blue Star players can't stand it anymore, and they've united to criticize them."
"I see." Yu Xiangnan nodded.
So, she does remember it.
