Chapter 170: The Odd Omelet

"Chef Long, let’s get out of here." Li Chunhua’s voice was serious, devoid of the usual languidness.

Little Ginseng sensed her fear and looked up.

Long Haoran could detect it too, and she wondered what bothered her. But the red rimstones on the ceiling were very important to him, and if he chose to leave them, he might not encounter another one again.

Sadly, his flight skill could only fly up to ten meters, but the ceiling of this cave is estimated to be about 15 meters or more.

Whatever her concern, when something comes up, he may not be as powerful as she was, but he’ll let her escape first.

"Just a minute. Can you help me to get those things?" Long Haoran raised his finger and pointed upward.

Triggered by the memories of the book’s plot, Li Chunhua didn’t want to stay a single second in this place and planned to use the Elf’s analects as a way of dissuading someone, but when she raised her head, she was unable to say a single word, completely forgetting about the book.

☉Ô☉!

[Blood Karmic Rimestone

-This stalactite is formed from the centuries of accumulation of concentrated blood and miasma in the mountain and produces a drop of pure essence daily.]

Essence!

With it, she can raise the chumpets and many more!

Li Chunhua was so happy.

Not a second later, she jumped and harvested the stalactites by ripping them off the ceiling and piled them next to Long Haoran, who had also gone to pluck the lotus roots, leaves, buds, and pods on the edges, planning to repay her with dishes cooked from these.

He can upgrade these ingredients containing essences and get good buffs. Tonight and tomorrow, he needs to prepare tons of foods with buffs for the upcoming monster tide.

[You’ve got a Blood Karmic Lotus Seed...+1...+1...+1...]

[You’ve got a Blood Karmic Lotus Bud...+1...+1...+1...]

[You’ve got a Blood Karmic Lotus Leaf...+1...+1...+1...]

[You’ve got...]

As for the water, he didn’t want it all since he had a guess it was used by the boss monster.

"Ji ji ji!" (Master! Put me down!) The little ginseng held on to his life.

Li Chunhua was startled and set the dizzy little fellow bumblebee on the ground before resuming her harvesting operation.

The rimestones, whose hardness was comparable to diamonds from Earth, became brittle like glass in her hands.

[You’ve got a unit of Blood Karmic Rimestone...+1...+1...+1...]

After five minutes, Li Chunhua finally finished and gained [Blood Karmic Rimestone X59].

The Little Ginseng, who sensed an attractive, nourishing energy radiated by those stones, approached it and jumped around the pile in happiness.

Long Haoran was almost done. After gathering [Seeds X235 units], [Lotus Buds X24 units], [Roots X119 units], and [Leaves X58 units], there were only those he couldn’t reach and the blooming flower.

Li Chunhua, after counting the spoils, went to check on Chef Long and found him staring intensely at the plants and lotus flowers.

Left with no options, Long Haoran took off his windbreaker, his shoes and socks planned to take a dip when he saw the flower and plants move on their own and swam towards him. While at it, he rubbed his eyes because he didn’t know if it was just his misconception, but he saw some golden strings as thin as cicadas’ wings coiled around the stems.

What are those?

Towards this strangeness, Long Haoran had no clue, even when they climbed ashore, jumped, and leaped onto his feet.

Wait, what is that?

He saw something on one of the plump, milky-colored roots.

Li Chunhua smiled and walked towards the man, only to see him picking up the lotus flower, whose roots had a red egg attached resembling the size of the regulars one sold in the market.

Li Chunhua: "..."

Long Haoran was also confused about how the egg had gone astray and appeared on the lotus roots of all places.

[Basic Appraisal Skill activated.]

[Unknown Egg]

Long Haoran was intending to keep it, but when he saw the description, he said, "Let’s have an egg and lotus for lunch."

[Needs 1000 units of pure essence to consume before hatching.]

Long Haoran:눈_눈 I’m sorry, but he’s too poor.

Li Chunhua nodded hastily, never refusing any food.

Little Ginseng also appeared beside her after hearing the lunch word.

Because it was approaching lunch, the three left the cave but not before burning the corpses in the nest.

The thick smoke and putrid scent of roasted dried meat and hairs spread all over the bloodcurdling cave, its surrounding swamps making the three travelled another 500 meters where the soil is semi-dried to set up the stove.

Little Ginseng helped washed the lotus roots before handing it to Chef Long.

Li Chunhua ignited the flames and waited until the wok was hot.

Long Haoran took out all the ingredients he needed before peeling the lotus root and cracking the unknown red egg and the myriad eggs on the bowl, seasoning and stirring it until the yoke breaks apart.

Two foodie watched him from the sidelines giving their moral support.

When the wok is ready, Long Haoran poured oil and fried the roots until they were crispy and golden brown. The remaining slice roots where mixed with flour, chopped polypore, eggs, and condiments.

The lunch this time was rich just like the breakfast.

Long Haoran had remaining congee, Cold-brewed tea, bacon, placed at the table, in addition to the crispy lotus and polypore egg pancake, sauteed crispy lotus with chopped omelet.

Li Chunhua couldn’t help herself from tasting the lotus root pancake.

As soon as Long Haoran finished the last dish, he heard the system prompts.

[You’ve cook an egg of a Karmic Flood Dragon and gained 10,000 gourmet points.]

[Your class Gourmet Supplier reached Level 10. Unlocking new abilities and features.]

[Picture Book is unlocked.]

[Achievement Book is unlocked.]

[Your class Gourmet Supplier reached Level 12.]

[Your class Gourmet Supplier reached Level 13.]

Meanwhile, Li Chunhua also received notifications.

[You’ve ate the egg of a Karmic Flood Dragon.]

[You’ve gained essence +10...+10...+10.]

[Karmic Flood Dragon Essence Bar: 30/100]

Long Haoran and Li Chunhua slowly looked at each other while wearing an indescribable expression: (＠_＠;) That egg was a dragon?

Wait!

Li Chunhua finally remembered a particular plot. Wasn’t this the first dragon that was killed by the protagonist?

Her eyes grew even wider at the realization.

(＠_＠;) Holy Cow...
