Chapter 4 The Deadly Chef
[Funeral Love Family. Dark Shampoo, Cut, and Blow-dry All-in-One Curling Iron: Raise the curling iron and shout, "Are you afraid to love me?", and a 300,000-volt electric arc will erupt from the tip of the curling iron. (Speaking too softly or enunciating loudly won't help.)]
Mingzhao glanced around furtively to make sure no one else was there before clearing her throat.
"Cough...Are you afraid to love me?"
Nothing happened.
Perhaps the sound was too soft, so Mingzhao took a deep breath and shouted out the loudest sound he could make.
Are you afraid to love me?!
Zh...
The curling iron head finally emitted a bright blue-white arc of light.
Several innocent-looking human-faced sardines swam by. Mingzhao stuck the curling iron into the sea. A flash of lightning appeared, and three human-faced sardines floated to the surface belly up.
Mingzhao was very satisfied with the effect. This "emo" curling iron had an attack range of at least one meter. It could be used to electrocute fish or stun enemies. It was a great tool for fighting at home. The only drawback was that the way it was used was too embarrassing.
Mingzhao had learned her lesson the hard way with this curling iron, so when the beautiful young woman sent her a photo, she recognized it immediately.
In her past life, there was a time when shipping routes merged. A slick-haired young man jumped aboard from the opposite ship and shouted at her, "Are you afraid to love me?"
Mingzhao was so shocked she was stunned; before she could even react, she was knocked unconscious by the electric shock.
Mingzhao had no choice but to use a very precious fake death card. Fortunately, the opponent was a novice and did not finish him off in time. While the opponent was looting supplies, Mingzhao attacked from behind and killed him in one blow.
This time, the artifact actually ended up in her hands.
She can't wait to unleash her curling iron skills!
Improving your strength requires more than just attribute points; training and adapting to the attributes you gain are also very important.
Mingzhao practiced a set of boxing techniques he had acquired in his previous life and was feeling a bit hungry.
It was then that she realized that all the food she had brought was carbohydrates, which were enough to fill her up, but she was still lacking protein if she wanted to build muscle.
The still space still held dozens of pieces of sardine meat harvested that day. Mingzhao took out a small pot and plugged it into the only socket on the duck boat.
Although she has never cooked before, it's boiled fish, so it shouldn't be too difficult to make.
Half an hour later, Mingzhao looked at the pot of purplish-red unidentified solid-liquid mixture in front of him and fell into deep thought.
[Congratulations to player "Cosmic Invincible Tyrannosaurus Beast" for demonstrating outstanding poison-making skills and earning the title "[Deadly Chef]".]
[Should I remain anonymous?]
Mingzhao: "...It's too embarrassing. Let's not talk about this anymore."
[Deadly Chef: When worn, if a dish prepared by a player comes into direct contact with the skin, a random negative status effect will be inflicted, lasting 10 minutes.]
Alright, this title is useful after all. Next time before a fight, I'll cook a dish and smash it right in the other person's face.
The problem of food is still unresolved, and after a busy morning, I'm even hungrier.
Mingzhao suddenly remembered that someone in the group had mentioned cooking, so she quickly opened the main group chat and scrolled up.
Pancake Dog: "Does anyone have raw meat or vegetables? I'll cook for you for free, just give me a portion."
I don't know if it's reliable or not, but I'll give it a try first.
Open the other person's private messages.
Cosmic Invincible Tyrannomon: "I have some sardines here, do you want some? Take them and make them, just give me half of what you make."
Pancake Dog: "Yes, yes! Boss, you're so generous, I'll make it right away!"
Mingzhao sent over ten pieces of sardine meat.
In less than half an hour, I received the food sent by Jianbing Gouzi.
[Player Pancake Dog is gifting you: Pan-fried Sardines*1, Tomato Stewed Sardines*1, Salt-baked Sardines*1, and Canned Sardines Pasta*1.]
Mingzhao took a bite of the pan-fried sardines. The crispy fish meat paired with lemon butter sauce burst with juice in her mouth with each bite, so delicious that she almost shed tears.
I feel like I've wasted almost twenty years of my life eating.
Cosmic Invincible Tyrannomon: "This is so delicious! You must be a reincarnation of a culinary god! These are all for you. From now on, you can share everything you make with me."
Mingzhao kept five portions of fish to make the poisonous dish, and gave the rest to Jianbing Gouzi. Seeing that she had previously collected diesel in the trading hall, she also gave her a portion of diesel.
Judging from how delicious these dishes were, and the unknown ingredients used for seasoning, Mingzhao guessed that Jianbing Gouzi must have some kind of innate talent, like a culinary genius.
She was determined to build a good relationship with the pancake dog. After all, the chef profession not only allowed her to enjoy delicious food, but also, after advancing to a higher level, she could create dishes that provided positive effects or attribute bonuses. In the later stages, she was constantly sought after by various forces.
Pancake Dog: "Ahhh, boss, you're too kind. You don't need to give me anything else, just give me the ingredients we agreed on before."
Cosmic Invincible Tyrannomon: "Take it. I'll send you more ingredients when I find them later."
Pancake Dog: "Waaah, thank you boss! I'll be your personal chef from now on!"
Mingzhao smiled. The two people she met today were both nice. It seems that having the courage to interact with people isn't so bad after all.
After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Mingzhao started to feel sleepy. She used the toiletries she had taken out of the box to brush her teeth and wash her face, then wiped her body with a tissue dampened with a little water before falling asleep.
Mingzhao woke up promptly at six o'clock the next morning.
Looking at the panel, my sanity has been fully restored.
The duck boat continued to move forward at a speed of 30 knots. The difference this time was that it had a curling iron. All it took was to put the curling iron into the seawater, and all the sardines with human faces around it were electrocuted and floated to the surface.
Three hours passed, 30 human-faced sardines were electrocuted, and physical strength increased slightly.
Unfortunately, I wasn't lucky today and only managed to collect 5 wooden treasure chests, along with three batteries, two diesel fuels, and ordinary supplies like wood and rubber.
Mingzhao initially felt that she was quite lucky, but when she opened the group chat, she was provoked.
The sleeping husband: "[Image] Does anyone know what this is? I drove here very early this morning."
The picture shows a glittering gold card with the words "Attribute Enhancement Card" written on it in large characters.
He kicked the cripple's good leg repeatedly: "Are you blind? Isn't it written here? Or are you just showing off?"
Beautiful girl and strong woman: "Aaaaaah! I'll fight you lucky guys to the death!"
Divorced with two kids: "Does a big shot still need a leg accessory?"
Drink more hot water: "+1"
AAA Cambodia Labor Dispatch: "+1".
Can't come up with a name: "+1".
...
Mingzhao felt a little envious. Those were attribute-boosting cards, which could add two points to each of the three attributes. She had never seen one in her previous life, and even with her card-drawing talent in this life, she still hadn't seen one.
At this moment, Mingzhao saw a small island ahead, and his eyes lit up. He turned the boat around and headed towards the island.
In the game "Uncharted Waters," islands are like service areas, with various NPCs and stations where you can find many valuable items. Don't miss them when you see them!
Mingzhao moored the duck boat at the shore and was about to disembark.
Suddenly, the boarding alarm was activated, emitting a piercing siren.
Mingzhao immediately became alert and gripped the curling iron in her hand tightly.
Someone's coming!
