Xi Xi suddenly realized that she had sold the scorpion meat piece by piece without even looking at it closely!
Suddenly, a feeling of "I've lost out big time" spread wildly through Xi Xi's heart like weeds, and she secretly groaned inwardly.
Although Xi Xi wasn't 100% certain that the key to unlocking the treasure was hidden inside the giant scorpion's body, things often have two sides, like Schrödinger's cat. The more you miss something, the more you dwell on it and feel that it might still be possible.
Thinking of this, Xi Xi couldn't help but stomp her foot in frustration. She went through the players she had traded with back then in her mind, and wanted to try to get some information out of Li Jinshao, but she felt that the guy was very cunning, and being too abrupt would easily expose the fact that the treasure chest was locked. She couldn't help but feel anxious.
A crisp, pleasant notification sound suddenly emanated from the central control screen, interrupting her thoughts. Xi Xi peeked out and saw a treasure chest icon appear directly above the pixel map.
The location of this treasure chest was extremely conspicuous. After the vehicle stopped by the roadside, Xi Xi got out of the car, gripping her light-blade scythe tightly, and immediately spotted the locked beginner treasure chest placed in the middle of the road.
The road was illuminated by the headlights as if it were daytime, and the road ahead was bright and open.
A hint of coldness flashed in Xi Xi's eyes as she cautiously observed her surroundings. Suddenly, Xi Xi unleashed a slash, a dazzling purple light flashing like lightning across the night sky, instantly shattering the silence. Several red-eyed bats were then cleaved in two, crashing heavily onto the road like kites with broken strings.
She knew that chests would be guarded by monsters at night. Since there were bats, it meant that a new Dark Canyon might have appeared nearby. Thinking this, Xi Xi put away her light-blade scythe, then quickly walked forward, picked up the treasure chest with one hand, but unexpectedly stumbled and almost lost her balance.
Thinking it was just an ordinary wooden treasure chest, Xi Xi didn't pay it any mind. However, to her surprise, the chest was much heavier than the basic treasure chests she remembered. Looking at the thick iron locks and chains on the chest, Xi Xi understood what was going on.
She glanced around; there was a canyon nearby, and traveling light, it wasn't wise to linger. So, Xi Xi quickly returned to the car, put down the locked beginner treasure chest, and then restarted the autopilot.
Just as Xi Xi was about to take a short break, a familiar game announcement suddenly rang in her ears. Immediately afterward, a dazzling light effect descended from the sky. Xi Xi felt a weight in her hand and looked down to see that her prize from the "Competition for Food" had arrived in her account.
The golden lucky bag in her hand, as its name suggests, is made of fine gold silk and is about the size of an ordinary dinner plate, with a round and full shape.
Xi Xi tossed the slightly heavy lucky bag in her hand. Its smooth lines outlined its perfect shape, revealing an indescribable nobility and elegance.
The lucky bag was embroidered with an intricate and exquisite tower-shaped totem on its silk. Xi Xi was already very familiar with this totem. She took a closer look and felt that the embroidery was of a very high standard, with every stitch revealing superb skills and endless ingenuity.
At the bottom of the lucky bag, there is a band of tassels. These tassels are woven from thin silver threads, making them light and flowing, soft yet resilient.
Xi Xi pulled open the drawstring of the lucky bag and looked down inside. All she could see was a blur inside, as if shrouded in a thick fog, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
A sense of doubt arose in her heart, and she suspiciously reached in to find out what was going on. When she touched something cold with her fingertips, Xi Xi subconsciously withdrew her hand. Then, she calmed herself down and tentatively reached in again.
As she dragged it, the drawstring of the lucky bag grew larger and larger, until finally she managed to pull out something resembling an electric cooker from the small bag. Unlike ordinary electric cookers, this pure white electric cooker had a three-layer structure, like small boxes stacked together, looking quite exquisite.
[Item Description: Pan. The first layer is an oven layer for grilling and baking; the second layer is a microwave layer for heating and simple cooking; the third layer is a general cooking layer for frying, deep-frying, stir-frying, stewing, boiling, and steaming.]
Unexpectedly, this so-called "Suan Zhi Guo" (a type of hot pot) has so many complex and practical functions. Xi Xi looked at it with great interest. She saw that the "Suan Zhi Guo" had a streamlined design with no redundancy, presenting a simple yet high-end aesthetic.
Next, Xi Xi tried plugging in the power, and the control panel on the side of the pot lit up. It was a high-definition touchscreen that clearly displayed the various cooking modes and temperature settings for each layer. The interface was clear, simple, and easy to understand, making it very convenient.
Xi Xi sighed with delight, then carefully placed it aside. She reached into the lucky bag again, and after rummaging around for a while, pulled out a book.
Xi Xi looked at the book cover. There were no pictures on the cover, only ten large characters written in black on white paper: "Dongli Zhijian: A Beginner's Cooking Tutorial".
Xi Xi was overjoyed to receive the cookbook. Although she had some cooking experience, it was limited to ordinary home-style dishes. With the cookbook's guidance, it was undoubtedly the icing on the cake.
Thinking this, Xi Xi began to flip through the beginner cooking tutorial. What she found there startled her greatly; the recipes weren't for ordinary food, but for game-specific foods with special bonuses.
After careful study, Xi Xi discovered that the special bonuses of these foods are mainly concentrated on five aspects of [Personal Abilities]: Constitution, Strength, Agility, Luck, and Critical Strike. Moreover, the bonuses last for a very short time, and are burst-type short-term bonuses.
