Chapter 131: The Hardships of acquiring Livestock (2)

It was a simple trip of bumping into stones for Li Chunhua, but for Long Haoran, it was an expedition that will forever reshape his logic.

Who could have thought that his knowledge of identifying wild ingredients would be useless in this world? What five-leaflets? What red berries? All of it became a fart.

"Here it is." His gang leader handed over the fifth ginseng she found, which she labeled as rocks scattered on the patch of weeds.

He should feel positive about this, but somehow he couldn’t bring himself to do so; rather, he had an urge to drag someone in for a lengthy talk about life.

Li Chunhua waved the rooty crop smudged in dirt in front of Chef Long Guy’s face because he was only looking at her without any intention of taking the saucy ginseng. It was now a saucy ginseng in her mind after she experienced the wonderful dip of the saucy waterfall.

Before, she was less interested in this thing, but now she will pick up all these bumpy rocks and let Chef Long cook them into a delicious sauce.

[Hundred-year-old Ginseng, Grade: Fifth-Class]

The system had a tendency to bestow inappropriate names, but it wouldn’t mistakenly label an item’s quality, proving its authenticity.

Long Haoran observed the ginseng on his hand, which resembled the discolored radish he saw with the little fox before. Instead of five leaflets, there were only two, taking the image of a stalk of grass, and there were no red berries.

"What? How many more do you need? "Li Chunhua asked after Long Haoran finally took the ginseng off her hand.

"As much as you can search." This sentence just left his mouth, and the gang leader’s figure vanished for a minute. Long Haoran witnessed the grasses dance wildly even if there was no wind, with green stalks floating like dandelions in the air.

"20 should be enough, right?" The familiar voice came from behind him afterwards, snapping him out of his dazed stupor.

He turned around and saw the half-fist-sized ginsengs on the woman’s hand. He couldn’t help but ask her. "How high is your agility stat?" It was a sensitive question, but his gang leader showed him unreservedly her stats without hiding anything.

When the man mentioned her status screen, she remembered she hadn’t checked it since she was in the secret realm. She opened it and gave the man permission.

[Player: Li Chunhua]

Age: 21

Status Ailments: None

Health: 4500/4500

Mana: 800/800

Strength: 80

Defense: 80

Intelligence: 80

Luck: 10

Long Haoran was only able to see this information, and the others were hidden from him by the system. His eyes momentarily paused on the name of the territory. Blinking, he asked in his head. She likes salted fish?

Level 25? 80 Agility?! So that’s probably why she was so fast, but how was she able to defeat the bull boss with that strength?

Long Haoran wasn’t aware that Li Chunhua still hadn’t allocated the level-up stats points she received from jumping levels during the boss event; if she did so, he would be more shocked.

The screen disappeared, and Long Haoran retrieved his attention, with his heart slightly increasing its pace. Thousands of thoughts were brewing in his mind. He couldn’t understand this world as time went by.

Contrary to him, Li Chunhua had access to the rest of the hidden information, and she was stunned by the additional skills.

[Unallocated Status Points: 454

Skills: Dark Cooking Poison Immunity (P), Heavenly Rage (A), Sky Water Wave (A), Basic First Aid (A), Intermediate Medical Diagnosis (A), Basic Tackle (A)]

⊙.☉?

Ah? Since when did she become a doctor? System, did you have a fever?

Li Chunhua wanted to view the skill description, but her hearing senses picked up noises from the surroundings.

They were near Long Haoran’s territory, per the man’s request, returning to gather the things he left inside his cottage.

Long Haoran was subjected to another rough ride half an hour ago, but due to his past experience, he was more prepared, and it was less dizzy.

But still.... "Bleurgh." He was still prone to barfing sessions.

The area still retained its dense trees, which were hundreds of meters away from the scorched land.

A series of fine footsteps entered both their ears and searched for a spot in which they could hide. A few minutes later, a dozen people led by a muscular man wearing a sleeveless shirt holding a spear emerged, ordering his subordinates to sweep the land of other suspicious people.

Both Li Chunhua and Long Haoran, hiding behind a bush, frowned, and when the two saw some people coming towards their hiding place, a certain someone dug an inconspicuous hole under the bush.

Long Haoran jumped in and carefully moved the bush to cover the hole.

Fortunately, the people were not searching properly, probably because they were scared of monsters popping up.

After the people regrouped, Li Chunhua and Long Haoran climbed out of the hole silently. The foodie, who never spies on people’s conversations, wanted to escape the place, but the team started a topic that she couldn’t ignore.

"Did you confirm the location of the chickens was true? "The muscular man asked the man beside him while cleaning the bloodstains from his spear.

Chickens?

There are chickens?

Li Chunhua sharpened her hearing.

In matters of ingredients, Long Haoran was also interested and listened.

"The scouts did. The information we bought was true. There are really chickens in that place. It’s just that..." The man leaned into his leader’s ears to whisper the last part.

Li Chunhua was late to infuse her ears with qi. She couldn’t catch the last part, making her frustrated. Long Haoran was also visibly dissatisfied.

The two talked about other things, and Li Chunhua became restless.

"Just spill the location." She mumbled her wish in a tiny voice.

Long Haoran gave her a glance. There’s no way the other side will talk about the location in a place like this where there are the possibility of eavesdropping.

"The chickens are still in the east, a mile away to the..."

Long Haoran: 눈_눈 Never mind.

Li Chunhua:ヾ(￣▽￣) Nice, I got it!

With the foodie’s insistence, the two went to the said place. The foodie became a prince knight in shining armor and saved the two chicken damsel-in-distress, leading to their current situation.

"Chef Long guy, do you have a suggestion?" Li Chunhua asked.

Long Haoran glanced at the huge crocodiles before responding with another question, "How about you?"

"Besides beating them up with my fists, there’s nothing that comes to mind." She honestly shared her thought.

The hundreds of prompts [Silver-back Raptor Level 5] entered Long Haoran’s sight once again. If there was only one, he would agree to a direct confrontation, but in this case, that is definitely not possible.

Although there is also nothing that forms in his mind, that was the unfortunate thing until...

"I’m so hungry. When are these guys taking a break?" Li Chunhua miserably complained while munching on a pack of bland biscuits.

Long Haoran remembered an item from his inventory. "I thought of something."

Li Chunhua’s eyes brightened. "What is it?"

"But promise me first that you won’t kick me or harm me in any possible way." Long Haoran spoke.

"That is a silly request. How could I harm the one cooking my meals? You can rest assured that I won’t even lay a scratch on you." Li Chunhua patted his back gently with a smile. Someone who cooks delicious food for her is a dear friend!

"You really won’t?"

Li Chunhua nodded.

After getting a ’death medallion’, a plate with a burned steak appeared on Long Haoran’s hand. He cut the steak into eight pieces as an experiment.

Eh? o_o

"Isn’t that my..." Li Chunhua was confused and inquired why her steak was in his possession, but the rest of the questions were never answered because the man threw a piece of steak onto the crocodiles below. One of them opened its mouth wide and swallowed the steak.

After a few seconds, Li Chunhua saw the defense stats of the crocodile reduced by 30%. That didn’t end there. The crocodile made wailing sounds as if it were in pain and began rolling its body on the ground, its HP dropping every minute. After five minutes, it lay on the ground and never moved again.

If not for its HP bar still having remaining points left, one would have thought it was dead.

Li Chunhua: (ㆆ_ㆆ)

Long Haoran’s hands, holding the plate, trembled at the ferocity of the poisonous, dark meal. This thing should be banned.

Li Chunhua slowly fixed her gaze on Long Haoran. Her foot was suddenly itchy for her dear friend.

Now, it was time for Chef Long to borrow her previous words, "How was it?"

Li Chunhua: o(一︿一+) How should she say this nicely? She was torn between praising him and kicking him off the tree.

Fortunately, the foodie set aside her anger and thought of the big picture.

She closed her eyes and let the man use her dark cooking as a mass weapon. The shrilling wails of the crocodiles echoed in the forest, and every time Li Chunhua heard them, her heart bled.

o(TヘTo) Endure...Endure...

After the excruciating hour when the noise subsided, Li Chunhua opened her eyes, and she noticed the Chef Long guy was staring at her intensely.

The man parted his lips and said, "Actually, I need an apprentice." That dark cooking was so effective that he needed another batch in case he’d encounter a difficult monster in the future.

Li Chunhua: "..."

After the success of the mass feeding, the crocodiles’ battle prowess was greatly weakened. Li Chunhua and Long Haoran armed with his frying pan eliminated them.

The loots scattered all over the place and there was meat amongst it.

[You’ve got four pounds of Silver-back Raptor meat.]

Long Haoran inspected the meat and although it wasn’t on par with the bull’s but it was good enough. "They’re edible and the texture looked similar to pork."

A certain someone scrambled to him in eagerness. "They’re edible? We can eat it?"

Long Haoran nodded.

Li Chunhua was suddenly struck by an idea. （.＾▽＾）He he...

Before it was sunset, the Elf could finally see a shadow of his Master from a distance but...

Why is she carrying two live crocodiles in her shoulders?

"Brother Siri! I got our livestock! We won’t be meat-less in the future!" Li Chunhua called out in happiness. ( ﾉ ﾟ▽ ﾟ)ﾉ

Siri: (＠_＠;) Say what?
