Chapter 10: Kitchen Counter Repair!

Chapter 10: Kitchen Counter Repair!

The teacher's voice was so hypnotic. The classroom was quiet and a little warm. Lin Zhusheng had stayed up all night last night, and he couldn't hold on any longer. He fell down as soon as the book stood up.

He closed his eyes and opened them again, and when he woke up again, he was awakened by the insurmountable high wall he had built.

The book fell on his head, and the weight of knowledge was so heavy that he was woken up. The kitten in his clothes also woke up and immediately poked its head out.

He woke up at the perfect time, just as the class was ending and the others were packing up to leave. The blushing guy I just met today also left, or it was more like he fled the scene. He left quickly as soon as it was over, leaving Song Ming sitting next to him.

Yawning with one hand and rubbing his head with the other, he finally put away the book, stood up, and walked out of the school with Song Ming.

After listening to the teacher's lesson today, my good fellow student seemed to have aroused his enthusiasm for learning. He planned to go back and continue reading. When he forked the road when going down the mountain, he separated from the others and waved his hand in a small arc.

The wooden box has been made, and there is still excess wood and stone left. When Lin Zhusheng goes down the mountain, he can go to the middle of the mountain to buy some fire crystals and take the opportunity to repair the cooking table.

On the way, he tied his hair with a new headband, still in a messy style, and walked around the middle of the mountain, losing dozens of silver coins.

The bulletin board was still full of announcements, especially the information about the purchase of Lingxu grass. The number of papers was exactly the same as last time, not a single one was missing, and they were all there intact. The only thing that changed was the number on it, which increased from 5 silver coins per stick to 15. The number was manually changed and the handwriting was a lot more sloppy, as if someone was in a hurry.

The price had gone up quite a bit, so the kitten looked up from his clothes and asked, "Selling?"

Lin Zhusheng still shook his head and said, "No hurry, there are still a few days."

He was very calm. He left after looking at it without any hesitation. On his way back, he gave two fruits to the steward to increase his favorability points.

He had to build the wooden box himself, but fortunately he didn't have to repair the cooking table himself. He only needed to put the materials needed for repair on the platform, and leave the rest to the kitten, which was still a system after all.

Back in the room, all the ingredients were gathered. Kitty walked around the cooking table and estimated very professionally, "It will take about two hours."

As long as he doesn't have to do it himself, everything is fine. There is no question about the time, so Lin Zhusheng sat on the chair and said okay.

After saying this, he didn't turn his head, but continued to look over here, his back straight and his eyes bright and sharp.

The wooden box was a low-level prop that he made by hand, but the cooking table was different, it was a high-level prop, and he really wanted to know how it was repaired, or what form it was repaired in.

“…”

Facing the fiery and expectant gaze, the kitten turned its head silently, picked up a stone with its two paws, and tried to stuff it into the empty gap.

——A very simple repair method, without any skills or special bonuses.

"?"

Thinking that he would see some sci-fi or fantasy repair scene, he did not expect the reality to be so plain and simple. Lin Zhusheng's eyes twitched, and his expectant gaze turned into pity. He kindly asked the kitten who was trying hard to move the stone: "Do you need help?"

The kitten is a system that can complete the repair process independently and does not need any help. It moves its ears again and again and refuses.

Raising his hand to manually suppress the raised corner of his mouth, Lin Zhusheng retracted his gaze, sat cross-legged on the chair, opened the book he had not finished reading today, and took out his wooden sword to practice.

Although he was only an outer sect disciple, he had a lot to learn, including the history of the Nine Provinces in the world of cultivation, the basics of pharmacology, an overview of monsters and a host of other things, as well as the introduction to swordsmanship.

Although he didn't understand why a mere errand boy had to learn so many things, he learned them all since he would take the exam. There are quite a few obscure and abstract expressions in the book, which would be a bit troublesome if no one can translate it.

Fortunately, although he had no one to translate, he had a good memory and could remember it by force.

“Squeak—”

The wooden sword slowly turned in his hand, and he swayed in his chair, the legs of the chair pressing against the floor, making a regular sound, which in some sense was exactly in sync with the sound of a kitten knocking on the kitchen counter.

[Congratulations on achieving the achievement: Repairing the cooking table (level 1)! 】

[Achievement Reward: Full Spectrum of Food Recipes (2/200)]

The kitten said two hours and it really took two hours. After fiddling with it for a long time with his short arms and legs, he finally figured it out.

When the message popped up, Lin Zhusheng, who had been reading for two hours, put down the book and turned to look at the cooking table.

After being busy for half a day, Master Cat hid the small broom he used to sweep the dust behind him, stood at the corner of the kitchen counter, and nodded in confidence.

It is a very clean and beautiful cooking table. Just looking at the outside, you can't tell that it was repaired by piecing together dozens of stones and a few pieces of wood. The desk was clean and tidy, as if it was naturally like this. Lin Zhusheng took a closer look and felt that it must have been made with the help of some technology.

He saw through it but didn't say it out loud, which was very considerate. He clapped his hands loudly, and it felt like one person clapped as many as ten people.

The kitten held up its paw to gracefully indicate that it didn't need to continue clapping, then jumped over from the counter and asked, "Where's the recipe?"

The complete spectrum of food recipes, abbreviated as recipes, happened to have a space in the backpack, so it was automatically put into the backpack. When the kitten asked about it, Lin Zhusheng took it out of the backpack.

The cookbook was a thick one, and felt heavy in his hand. He changed his posture, put the book on the table, and opened the first page.

Large areas of the recipe book are blank, with only two recipes given as rewards lit up and at the front.

One is Peach Blossom Roll, the other is Lingxu Pastry, both of them add 20 points of physical strength, and the latter has an extra buff, which can refresh the mind.

The raw materials for Lingxu pastry are Lingxu grass and wheat flour. It is very simple. If there is any Lingxu grass left after selling it in two days, he can try to make it.

There are intermediate and advanced recipes behind the recipe, but they are all blank and have not been unlocked yet. If he remembered correctly, after unlocking the intermediate formula, he could also unlock the food for the monsters and demons, which covered a very wide range.

It was a very good recipe, but it took up some space. After flipping through it, he put it in the wooden box and continued reading his book.

Too much knowledge that needed to be learned suppressed the desire to go out and run around the mountains and fields like a savage. For the next two days, Savage Lin behaved like a human being. The biggest exercise he did every day was running to the academy to attend classes and saying hello to people he knew.

The task of collecting Lingxu grass has reached the final deadline.

On the deadline day, after reading most of the day from morning till afternoon, Lin Zhusheng collapsed gloriously, slumped headfirst on the desk, and was completely exhausted.

He was finally woken up by the kitten using the Friendly Cat Punch just as it was getting dark.

When he woke up, it was dark. It was almost time. He wiped the non-existent saliva, closed the book, and quickly went out.

Today is the last day of the Lingxucao mission and also the most important day for making money.

There are still a few people on the commercial street halfway up the mountain at night, and some stalls are still set up with dim lights on.

It was quite lively near the bulletin board at the end of the street. There were a few people squatting in front of it, their backs looked bleak and desolate. The stalls nearby had the most people left, and the disciples squatting at the stalls would occasionally peek at the figures squatting on the ground.

Even though he was very skilled at climbing mountains, it was still very difficult to quickly climb halfway up the mountain. Lin Zhusheng breathed in and out as he walked onto the commercial street, and stayed there for a while before catching his breath. When he saw a few people squatting in front of the bulletin board from a distance, he gasped and narrowed his eyes.

He guessed that these people should appear here at this time.

At the last moment, it was obviously too late to search all over the mountains for the Lingxu grass, which was scattered in small branches. Without anything in his pocket, he could not go to find the manager. In order to allow the person who had the grass to contact him as soon as possible, the person who lacked the grass would most likely choose to wait here.

On the way, he heard a few words from the disciples guarding the stalls nearby. The current situation was that everyone had more or less exchanged some extra Lingxu grass from other disciples, but it was only a drop in the bucket, and there were still large numbers that had not been filled.

After walking a distance forward, he stopped at a distance and squinted his eyes at the bulletin board.

The numbers on the bulletin board have been changed, and the unit price of Lingxu grass has increased to the current 20 silver coins.

Hearing footsteps, the people squatting on the ground thought it was another kind-hearted wild disciple coming to exchange grass. They were startled and turned their heads instantly, only to see a man standing behind them with empty hands, just passing by.

The face that had just come back to life died again. Several people lowered their heads, their eyes dimmed, and began to discuss what to take back when leaving the sect. Their voices were filled with infinite sadness.

“…”

"Have you decided to leave?"

"It's useless to ask the steward to intercede this time. This grass can't be conjured up immediately. Or... who is it not you?"

A voice naturally joined the discussion, and someone naturally responded. Halfway through the response, he felt something was wrong, and turned his head suddenly, seeing someone who had been squatting next to him without him noticing.

A person who looks like he would quickly disappear in a crowd, whose facial features are a template among ordinary people, an appearance that would be forgotten if you didn't take one glance at it. But when he smiles, his eyebrows and eyes are curved, and he is very recognizable when he laughs. His breathing was a little disordered, as if he had just run.

Others looked over and one of them recognized him and said, "You are the one who is always late for school."

The rest of the people also suddenly realized what had happened and exclaimed, "So that's what it is."

“…”

Being remembered in a strange way, Lin Zhusheng paused with a smile on his face and then said yes.

The person who recognized him asked, "You didn't find enough grass either?"

"no."

Temporarily ignoring the way he was remembered, he smiled at the slightly disappointed looks of the others and said simply and directly: "I just happened to find a piece of Lingxu grass today."

He stretched out his hand from his sleeve in a false gesture, and when he spread his fingers, fresh herbs with white edges appeared and fell on the palm of his hand, which was also cold and white. A fresh smell with a slightly bitter taste spread out. The pupils of the people next to you also spread out.
