Zhang Mu slept very deeply and did not wake up until the evening.

Just now, he fell asleep with Yuan Rui's reply in mind and had a lot of strange dreams.

Yuan Rui thought for a long time but could not answer him, but she finally borrowed a saying from the ancients, "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world."

Zhang Mu naturally knew this, but when Yuan Rui mentioned it so deliberately, he realized that it might really be true. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility he wants to bear, otherwise he would feel light and fluttering with only power. In the past, Zhang Mu, a small businessman in the future, even surviving was a luxury. He had no mind or ability to care about others, but now that he found that he had this ability, his state of mind was slowly changing.

Although this idea was actually ridiculous, he still felt that he had to do it. He didn't know what was wrong with him. Maybe, as he had guessed before, his rebirth was not just a direct infusion of his soul from the next life into his current body.

In other words, the present self also has a soul. The return of Zhang Mu from the later life is not a replacement, but a fusion, the old-fashionedness of the later life and the vigor of the present life, the disillusionment of the later life and the ambition of this life.

My soul is in conflict with myself. It seems so incredible, but also logical.

What you think about during the day, you will dream about at night. Zhang Mu also dreamed about these things. He dreamed that there were two of him. One was his 28-year-old self, looking at his current 18-year-old self, and the two looked at each other in silence.

Then, after a long silence, the two smiled at each other and said something.

Zhang Mu didn't know what this dream meant, and as time passed, his impression of this strange dream became more and more vague, and soon disappeared completely. He couldn't remember what it said specifically.

Not thinking about it anymore, Zhang Mu shook his head and saw that the moon outside the window had risen high. He then realized that he seemed to have missed two meals. Touching his shriveled belly, Zhang Mu smiled bitterly.

No wonder he had no strength in his body. Compared with ordinary people, the energy required by evolvers is much greater. He had not eaten for two meals and his whole body was exhausted.

Every cell seems to be shouting out the most primitive desire.

Eat meat, he wants to eat meat!

Zhang Mu turned over and got out of bed, walked out the door, and saw Yuan Rui still outside taking care of the cocoons of the black worm. He couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart. He coughed dryly, and Yuan Rui turned around and looked at Zhang Mu with some surprise and said, "Uncle, are you awake?"

Zhang Mu smiled and said, "It seems that I slept a little too long. It's already so late. I'm starving."

"Uncle, are you hungry? Because the electricity here is not working, I cooked a big pot of rice, with some meat and vegetables that Brother Wang and his friends brought me. I kept a large portion and put it in the house to keep it warm. If you are hungry now and want to eat, I will take it out for you."

When Yuan Rui heard Zhang Mu say that he was starving, she spoke anxiously and was about to go into the house to get some rice.

However, Zhang Mu waved his hand to stop her from entering the house. Seeing Yuan Rui frowning slightly, he explained, "I guess the food you cooked is not enough for my appetite now. The energy provided by rice and vegetables is not enough for a combat evolver like me. I guess Wang Liang won't give you much meat either.

Let me tell you first, it's not that I don't trust your cooking skills, it's just that you can just try it normally, it's really not enough now, I really spent too much energy today."

In the confrontation with Ling, although Zhang Mu had not been able to break free, he had been trying to resist the mental power that was restraining him. Although there was no effect, he did try. Most of the lost mental power was made up in the sleep just now, but he could not make up the lost energy by himself.

Zhang Mu smiled mysteriously, raised his left hand, waved the obsidian dagger that he had just hung on his waist at Yuan Rui and said, "Today I will show you the skills of a true barbecue master."

"The skills of the barbecue master?" Yuan Rui's original dissatisfaction with Zhang Mu's unwillingness to eat her cooking disappeared in an instant, and she looked at Zhang Mu's empty right hand with curiosity.

With a thought, the mutant black bear corpse that had been stored in the Epoch Merchant's ring was moved out and fell heavily to the ground.

Under Yuan Rui's surprised eyes, Zhang Mu deftly used the obsidian dagger to peel off the bear skin perfectly, handed it to Yuan Rui and said, "Wash off the blood stains. I already have one here, the one we ate together at the gathering place last time. This bear skin is for you. We can use them as blankets when we go out in the future."

The bear skin was so big that Zhang Mu was afraid that Yuan Rui didn't have the strength to handle it, so he just threw it aside and left the rest to Yuan Rui to deal with. He also thought it was too troublesome.

Zhang Mu looked at the pile of meat in front of him with a strange look in his eyes. His stomach was already calling him. He knew he couldn't delay any longer, so he immediately and slowly poured energy into the obsidian dagger.

A flame ignited at the edge of the blade. This was also a special feature of the obsidian dagger that Zhang Mu had discovered before. If the flame was attached to the edge of the blade, it would seem to be suppressed by the material of the dagger itself, and then its flame would lose the high temperature that devoured everything, and would only be slightly higher than the ordinary flames on Earth.

Zhang Mu held up this narrow flame knife and cut into the bear meat. Zhang Mu aimed at the bear's chest meat and slashed it. Because the flame was not that hot, it was not until the blade touched the surface of the bear meat that it was slowly cut. Then, under Zhang Mu's control, the attached flame maintained a uniform energy and made a hissing sound.

Zhang Mu cut very slowly, but the obsidian dagger was too sharp and was invincible in dealing with mutant beast meat of this degree. He cut off a thin slice of meat along the muscle texture. Under the evenly high temperature roasting, the flesh quickly became soft and gradually emitted a strange meaty aroma.

Zhang Mu, who had been hungry for too long, could not bear the temptation of the meat. He cut off a piece of bear meat and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

He was still chewing in big mouthfuls, but his hands never stopped moving. He was like an efficient machine, constantly cutting, slicing, and eating.

Soon, this part of the bear meat disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing the internal organs hidden inside.

Zhang Mu quickly moved to the next section, leaving Yuan Rui standing nearby dumbfounded.

This is too much to eat, isn't it?
