Chapter 19: Food and Drink, How Refreshing!

Translator: Simple MTL  Editor: Simple MTL

Klein’s exchange of condiments became the topic of discussion for a moment.

“Is this the difference? We are still worrying about food and drink, and the Big Boss has already begun to improve the quality of life as much as possible.”

“Could it be that condiments can be synthesized?”

It had been a long time since he had eaten meat. There was a high probability that Klein could already make a fire and cook because he could trade extra bacon for condiments.

“Everyone, please give me a bite to eat. I haven’t had a bite for an entire day, and I feel like I’m about to die.”

“Is Klein already so full of meat that he can’t finish it? There is also a piece of cured meat hanging on the trade channel. It can only be exchanged with wind runes.”

Everyone’s envy was self-evident. They hadn’t even finished eating, and Klein was already thinking of ways to improve the quality of his life.

One had to know that no one cared about the condiments put up for trade. Although some people were hungry enough to eat the condiments, it was a forced choice.

Furthermore, eating an entire bottle of condiments often brought another problem — drinking water.

Mike Wilson: “Hey Sir, I have a bottle of black pepper, a bottle of rose salt, and a serving of chili noodles. Can I exchange them for the cured meat on your hands?”

Klein found such a line from many private messages. Most of the traders had a condiment on hand, which was already pretty good. Two of them were already very good, but this guy actually had three!

Klein immediately replied that it was fine.

Mike Wilson: “Thank you.”

Klein went to the exchange market and hung up a whole piece of cured meat. Then, he chose three condiments as the exchange item. He didn’t need to worry about others being one step ahead of him.

The seller could set it to be private when he placed it up and only allow the sharing to be similar to sharing links with friends on his communication software.

Klein threw the link to Mike Wilson.

A moment later, the transaction was completed.

The black pepper powder, rose salt, and chili noodles were all in his hands. The seller also stripped the packaging and only gave him spices.

Klein had no choice but to make five additional stone bowls. Three of the bowls were used for spices, and the other two stone bowls were used for eating. One of them was for Klein to give to the little fox, while the other was for himself.

Little Fox was already drooling, swallowing from time to time. Her bright eyes could no longer be moved away, and she obediently sat by the barbecue grill, raising her head and constantly sprinkling seasoning on the barbecue.

Klein had just washed his hands with a bit of water from the water condenser. He grabbed a bit of black pepper with his fingertip and gently sprinkled it on top.

The black pepper emitted a charming smell under the roasting flames.

As for the rose salt, it didn’t need to be added. The black pepper was enough to enhance the flavor.

The fox couldn’t wait any longer.

“Don’t rush me, you little glutton. It’s almost done.”

Klein poked it gently with his dagger. The roast meat was already cooked. He split the roast meat in half and placed it in two bowls.

“Be careful, it’s hot.”

Klein placed one of the portions in front of the fox. The fox couldn’t help but stretch out its tongue and agilely roll up a piece of meat.

The tongue was pink with thorns. Little Fox took a deep breath and chewed as if it had been scalded.

Klein smiled and shook his head as he started eating.

The roasted meat was extremely delicious in his mouth. It was better than any experience Klein had before.

Klein chewed very carefully and slowly experienced the taste of the roasted meat exploding in his mouth.

After entering the catacombs, it was his first time eating meat. How refreshing!

He had also dug up cured meat today, so he hadn’t eaten it yet.

Compared to the Yellow Sand Octopus meat, the taste of the One-Eyed Lizard meat was much worse.

The muscles were a little tough, so he chewed on more.

The tender taste of the octopus was completely different from the octopus he had eaten before. The man and the fox ate their fill, and their mouths felt uncomfortable after eating the roasted meat.

Klein took out a bottle of pure milk and poured half of it for the fox, then he drank another half.

The afternoon was very leisurely. Klein had already exhausted the number of excavations he had done today. When the food in his stomach was more or less digested, he began to practice his knife and short spear.

Midway, there was poop nearby, so he dug a pit to settle it. When the little fox saw the squat toilet, she ran over and sat beside him.

Klein tore the parchment map into two parts, and one of them was used as toilet paper.

After each of them was done, they would deal with it separately.

However, the stench in the air wasn’t very pleasant, so Klein temporarily stopped the water condenser from producing water.

After all, it was absorbing water vapor. If the stench was sucked in, the water condenser would be in operation since noon.

Klein added 24 units of wood in one go. It could last for six hours, and he would receive 350 ml per hour.

After six hours, Klein would receive 2,100 ml.

With the remaining amount, if he didn’t consume it, it would be close to 2,300 ml.

The bucket had a capacity of 12 liters, and it was fully capable of holding it.

The sky gradually darkened.

[System notification: Stone-3]

[System notification: Stone Pot has been successfully forged.]

There was one unit of stone left in the inventory.

Klein held the stone pot and planned to make meat soup for dinner. The stone pot was still placed on the grill and added to the wood.

Just as Klein was about to light the fire to cook, a private message popped up.

“Do you want earth runes?”

It was a message from Alice. Previously, it was Alice who had exchanged water runes with Klein.
