Chapter 331: Chapter 328: 3 Magic Stones and the Long-Awaited Dungeon Dish_2
Flapping her wings, she cheerfully continued to complete her grand undertaking.
Kreya watched Kane’s actions with a face full of warmth.
While Kane looked at the large tear stain on his clothes and shook his head helplessly.
Kane felt the vehicle under him stop and turned his head to look at Yoyo.
"Master, we’ve arrived."
Upon hearing Yoyo’s voice, Kane brushed off the accumulated snow on the transparent car cover and looked outside. However, the moonlight tonight was not bright, making it too dark to see clearly.
By manipulating his magic power, he created a large spotlight on the roof of the lead car and began to scout the surroundings.
In front of them was a small plain, and behind them was a forest. They had officially passed through the forest to reach this place, and there was a small river connecting both sides with a peak about two to three hundred meters high at the riverbank.
This place was indeed nice; as long as they built their cabin on the summit, even if someone tried to sneak up on them, it would be easy to spot.
As for the summit being too conspicuous and easily exposed to enemies, it didn’t matter anymore. After all, their position was always displayed in the sky in real-time, exposed to all the explorers in the dungeon, making whether the position was conspicuous or not of little significance.
"Alright, let’s go to the summit then. Get ready, and I’ll pull you up." Kane dispersed the vehicle and addressed everyone behind him.
Once the rest were ready, several strands of spider silk enveloped Kreya and the other two, catapulting them toward the summit.
Meanwhile, Lilulu followed closely, flapping her wings.
Of course, they could also ride on Cotton Candy or take the path up the side of the mountain, but that was too much trouble, and swinging on the spider silk was also a good try.
With a few swings, Kane brought them to the summit.
After setting everyone down, he inserted the Forest’s Son’s skill stone into the origin skills’ enhancement slot and began constructing a small cabin on a flat area at the summit.
This time, Kane specifically left a spot on the roof for Cotton Candy. The terrain here was high enough that Cotton Candy no longer needed to stay in high air above them. Just on their rooftop, the view was broad enough.
This time he even placed slanted barricades on the silent surroundings to prevent the wind and snow.
Just like that, everyone walked into the cabin.
"Phew, it’s much warmer in here." Longbei said, rubbing his hands as he entered.
Lilulu darted inside and found a table before placing down the puzzle in her hands, continuing to work on it with great focus. She was entirely engrossed in it by now.
Seeing Lilulu so fascinated, Longbei curiously came closer, watched for a while, and then asked Kane next to him, "Hey brother, can you make one for me too?"
Looking at Longbei, Kane rolled his eyes in exasperation and then constructed one, handing it to him.
Longbei took it and cheerfully ran to the side to start studying it as well.
At that moment, Kreya clapped her hands to attract everyone’s attention: "Today we can probably relax for a bit. Is there anything you’d like to eat? Each person can pick one dish, just for today."
It seemed Kreya was in a great mood today.
Kane raised his hand first, saying, "I want fruit mix shrimp." It was considered a famous dish from the border area, which he had learned about and eaten with Kreya in Lion City before.
Longbei followed quickly: "Dwarf-style roasted beef leg." Kreya’s version of this dish was also very good.
After all, it was Burton’s signature dish, and he had thoroughly taught Kreya the details and cooking techniques, so Kreya’s take on this dish didn’t fall short of Burton’s.
Meizike raised his hand and said, "Crystal minced meat" A dish known to be a Crystal Town specialty, which Kreya also learned from Burton.
"White honey fruit honey custard pie, that’s what Lilulu wants." Lilulu said while flapping her wings and hovering around Kreya.
Hearing this dessert, Kreya’s eyes lit up, and she nodded.
Upon hearing this name, Kane and the others wrinkled their noses in disdain.
Is this stuff even edible? Kane had the fortune of trying it once, taking just a single bite, and almost losing his sense of taste to the overwhelming sweetness.
"Alright, these are the choices. Just wait a bit, it won’t take long." Kreya tied on an apron and headed into the kitchen.
At this moment, Longbei pointed to the magic stone on Kane’s neck and said, "Hey, it looks like your magic stone is full again, Kane."
Upon hearing Longbei, Kane nodded and then took out two more magic stones from his pocket, which had already turned into a silver metallic color.
"Actually, there are three that are full. After dinner, I’ll draw skills. Heaven help me."
"Who’s ’Heaven’?" Longbei asked curiously, as he hadn’t heard of such a belief.
This question stumped Kane for a moment. He scratched his head and thought for a bit before replying, "A deity from our place. You can think of it as believing in the mist."
Longbei wasn’t overly interested in this stuff, nodded, and indicated he understood.
Kane looked at the three magic stones in his hand.
He had pretty much calculated by now how many explorers it took to fill one magic stone.
Through their kills and calculations over this period, each magic stone required the energy captured from about 11 explorers’ deaths to fill.
During this period, they had taken down a total of 45 explorers, providing exactly 4 magic stones, with one of them only charged a small segment.
After chatting for a bit, Kreya had finished the dishes and brought them to the table.
However, besides the dish each of them had ordered, there was a large plate of grilled fish in the middle.
The aroma of this grilled fish overpowered the scents of all the other dishes in the room, filling the entire living room with its fragrance.
"Could this dish be?" Smelling such a strong aroma, Kane already had an idea.
Upon hearing Kane’s words, Kreya quickly nodded and then said, "Exactly what you’re thinking. Go ahead and appraise it, see if I got it right."
The magical ingredients from the dungeon, there indeed had been some seen for sale in Furnace Castle before, unexpectedly Kreya had bought some. This might have been her first time with magic ingredients, so she was a bit excited, unsure if she had done it correctly.
She wanted Kane to appraise it to see if the ingredient’s effects had been fully utilized.
Kane nodded and reached for the large plate holding the grilled fish.
[Severe Pepper Sea of Stars Fish]
[Ingredient]
[Color: Copper]
[Attributes: Enhances agility upon consumption]
[Description: Common fish from the Sea of Stars, sautéed with fierce peppers grown in volcanic lava with skill. The technique is slightly immature, but more than enough to handle copper-colored ingredients.]
Seeing the culinary appraisal, Kane relayed it to Kreya.
"It says here that your skills are more than enough to handle copper-colored dungeon ingredients. Keep at it, and you’ll soon be able to handle silver-level ingredients."
Hearing Kane, Kreya closed her eyes with a happy expression.
Everyone knew Kane’s appraisals were very reliable, worthy of trust.
"Alright then, let’s dig in, everyone."
