for Advance Chapter
Because of his poverty, Li Ke had to sell some of the things he had brought here specifically.
He took some easy-to-carry things like toasters, and wanted to see if he could sell them for money from this merchant.
But Li Ke was disappointed, because the things he brought were only about ten Duke Casino tokens, which were not worth moving at all.
However, surprisingly, the stones are still quite valuable, and ten stones can be sold for money.
"So this game is just like MC, so mining and tree chopping are necessary?"
Li Ke nodded. It's just hard labor! With the system stone axe, I can just dig! Are you afraid of such a small thing?
"It looks like we can't buy anything."
Erina Nakiri also opened the merchant's inventory, and then closed it directly.
Because she knew very well that they were so poor that they couldn't buy anything inside.
"It looks like we still have to work hard to search for it."
Li Ke nodded, and a plan instantly appeared in his mind.
"Then we'll go back tonight and set up our base a little bit. We'll spend tomorrow morning gathering food, and the afternoon cutting down trees and digging rocks to store and increase our casino tokens and defensive capabilities."
Li Ke made a plan directly, and Erina Nakiri did not object because it was almost dark today. Once it got dark, the zombies' mobility would become extremely terrifying. Although she could fight zombies now, she did not intend to fight the zombies that ran like Bolt.
But when she thought about going back, a smile appeared on Erina Nakiri's face.
"Today I can show you my cooking skills!"
Thinking of the seasonings she had collected, Erina Nakiri couldn't help but smile. Although luncheon meat would not taste good no matter how it was cooked, they still got some canned peas and chicken this time. With these seasonings, she was confident that she could cook a pot of excellent stew for Li Ke!
And she can eat without feeling so disgusted. After all, honey is now a strategic material and cannot be eaten casually.
"Of course! I'm really looking forward to your food!"
Li Ke smiled and nodded. Erina Nakiri is a character in a food anime. Li Ke has been looking forward to seeing how delicious the food she cooks will be from the very beginning.
It was just because of the previous conditions and both of them were afraid of zombies, so they didn't make a fire.
But now that they know the antidote to the zombie virus, it doesn't matter to them anymore.
"Yes! Stay tuned!"
Erina Nakiri smiled, and the two of them returned to the RV together.
On the way back, Li Ke found a gas station.
The dome of this gas station is made entirely of steel bars, and the four pillars are all solid iron pillars. Li Ke looked at the completely flat dome and couldn't help but think.
And it wouldn't be too difficult for them to go up. They could just use the ladder made from the wooden frame to climb up, and then fold up the wooden frame to prevent the zombies from climbing up.
"If we build a defensive base here, would it be safer than an RV?"
Li Ke remembered this idea, but did not rush to say it out loud. He still felt that transportation was more reliable.
So, he looked around and saw a shop that was obviously a repair shop not far from the gas station. He thought about it and decided to go there with Erina tomorrow to explore and see if he could find wheels for the RV.
Although there are wheels in the system's production column, Li Ke is not sure whether the wheels produced by the system can meet the needs of RVs, so it is better to be prepared for both situations.
The two quickly returned to the RV and checked again to see if there were any zombies around. Then Li Ke and Erina washed their hands with the soap and bottles of water they found, and then began to prepare dinner.
Erina Nakiri skillfully built a bonfire, set up a simple workbench, and then took out the kettle from the house, which served as the big pot for stewing. The two of them sat by the bonfire, watching the setting sun and the food boiling in the pot.
Li Ke had to admit that in the hands of Erina Nakiri, cheap luncheon meat and seasonings that had been stored for who knows how long were truly transformed into something magical. She easily removed the taste of inferior chemical raw materials in the meat by stewing and seasoning, and then continuously adjusted and purified the truly delicious parts.
In the past, she would never make such 'common people's dishes', because such food could not satisfy her divine tongue.
But now, smelling the chemical solutions mixed in it, as well as the smell of inferior ingredients, and looking at Li Ke who was concentrating on flipping through the production list, Erina Nakiri couldn't help but smile, and the smell of the food was not so unbearable anymore.
She looked at the woods in the distance, where she saw a lot of blueberries and flowers. She collected some as she passed by and used them as seasoning and in tea later.
But that wasn't what she was thinking about.
"If we can find potato, wheat, and corn seeds, Li Ke and I can plant a large field here and live a life without worrying about food, right?"
The fact that there were only two of them, the possibility of not knowing whether she could go back, and her pursuit of ingredients as a chef made her think about these things.
Although she still couldn't get used to these foods and still wanted to vomit when she smelled them because of her overly sensitive tongue, she still couldn't help but think about them.
Li Ke was willing to save her that day. He was undoubtedly a good person and had a very good attitude. He was just a little too ordinary and not handsome enough. He could only be said to be at the level of an ordinary person.
But this is the person...
It helped her escape from that state of escape and fear.
Erina Nakiri herself was also surprised. She was still terrified and running away yesterday, but today she had already chopped off the heads of more than a dozen zombies with her own hands.
"Maybe it's because Li Ke is so ordinary? Even though he's so ordinary, he can do it... I, who think I'm excellent..."
She couldn't help but think of the most crucial reason, which was that Li Ke, who seemed so ordinary, had a calm and relieved attitude, which made her calm down.
"Live every day to the fullest? Seriously, living every day as if it were your last is a common saying, but it's useless!"
Angry Erina pokes the pot twice, but the noise doesn't wake Li Ke up.
Because Li Ke was concentrating on looking through his manufacturing list.
"It can even make augers, airplanes, and cars, and this workbench..."
Li Ke looked at the things needed to make the workbench and couldn't help but frown.
The only way for them to survive better in this world is to rely on this system, but at present, it seems that without a workbench, they cannot do any serious projects.
They could only make some simple things, such as fiber-made straw clothes and straw sandals, some bows and arrows, stone tools and weapons, etc.
Including stone spears and other things.
But with a workbench, basically anything can be made.
There are also furnaces and other things, and things like iron ingots are obviously made in these places.
But the problem is, these two things are locked.
There are two unlocking conditions, one is senior engineer and the other is blueprint.
Li Ke didn't know whether he had to collect both to unlock it, or if he only needed one condition to unlock it, but there was no doubt that he hadn't activated the skill system yet, so there was no way for him to use these two things.
"So we can only rely on the iron barrel machine gun?"
Li Ke pursed his lips. He didn't know how to activate his skills. His current guess was to kill as many zombies as possible, but close combat was too dangerous. If he used a gun, if he couldn't rely on the furnace to produce a large number of bullets, then the gun would not be very reliable and it would be impossible to clear the zombies on a large scale.
"What a hassle…"
Li Ke continued to flip through the production column, and then found something.
"gunpowder..."
Li Ke took a look and found that there are several ways to make gunpowder. For example, the gunpowder made using a chemical bench is made from coal powder and nitrate powder.
However, if you want to synthesize it by hand, you will need double the materials to synthesize one.
"So, even without a workbench, I can still synthesize gunpowder?"
Li Ke looked at the gunpowder and the bullets that needed a workbench to be made, and a smile that became increasingly rampant appeared on his face.
"Then why don't I just make my own mines and Molotov cocktails?"
If Li Ke remembered correctly, making a Molotov cocktail was very simple. It was nothing more than getting some liquid flammable material and throwing it out.
It's just that ordinary gasoline and other things are not very lethal and are easy to extinguish.
But who was he hitting?
He wasn't fighting the living, breathing humans! He was fighting the unintelligent zombies! Even when he encountered a large group of zombies, he would just pour a bucket of gasoline on them and set them on fire.
Wouldn't all the zombies be burned?
Just a little bit.
"My own safety issue."
Li Ke felt a little conflicted.
If they encountered a large number of zombies, he and Erina Nakiri would definitely have to hide at a gas station.
The RV is still too small. If it is not repaired, there will be no possibility of escape.
But the ignition inside the gas station...
To be honest, this is really too exciting. Li Ke has never thought of such a crazy way of playing.
You have to know that this is a place where even a cigarette butt could cause a fire. Although it has become dilapidated, God knows how much gasoline is still inside. Li Ke can't read English...
"What a hassle."
Li Ke shook his head, and then saw that Erina Nakiri had picked up the kettle of stew and placed it on the lawn. She then put a metal can on the fire and started boiling water to make tea.
"Come, try my cooking!"
Erina Nakiri smiled and began to serve the food. The rich aroma of the food made Li Ke's appetite whet. He hurriedly brought over a bowl of rice and started eating it impatiently.
As soon as the food entered his mouth, Li Ke felt an unimaginable deliciousness. It was not like he had never eaten various kinds of luncheon meat before, but like today, it was the first time that he thought luncheon meat was delicious. It was a real first time!
"This is truly...amazing cooking! Erina! You really are amazing!"
Li Ke couldn't help but praise her, and Erina showed an expression that all the praise was well deserved, and raised her head proudly.
"Humph! Of course! But commoners like you only have such tastes. After we return, I will definitely let you know what kind of ingredients can bring out my strength!"
She didn't mean to belittle Li Ke, but she honestly didn't like using low-end ingredients to make food. Garbage like luncheon meat was not worthy of being her ingredient under normal circumstances!
This kind of food simply uses starch and additives to make some offal that ordinary people don't like to eat become edible. Erina Nakiri really doesn't understand why anyone likes to eat it!
And most importantly, many luncheon meats contain no meat at all! The taste is completely concocted with chemical ingredients, and it is essentially just a ball of starch!
She really couldn't like such self-deceiving food.
"Well... this is amazing enough for me..."
After Li Ke took a bite, he felt his whole body warming up, his body felt a lot more relaxed, and he could feel a sense of spiritual satisfaction.
This was a feeling he had never felt before when eating anything! Although the dishes made by Erina Nakiri were not the best he had ever tasted, this special effect made him groan involuntarily, and in his mind, he had the illusion of a warm farm family.
He is the male owner of a family. He works in the fields during the day and when he returns home at night, he sees his wife's smiling face and ordinary home-cooked meals.
After his young and beautiful wife prepared the meal, the two of them took a bath together. The warm water constantly stimulated his body, causing more and more friction between his and his wife's bodies. The smooth skin made him unable to help but want to do something.
His wife's breasts were very full. When Li Ke was about to continue enjoying it, the scene was suddenly interrupted. After he woke up from the hallucination, he found that it was not that the story was interrupted, but that the food in his bowl was eaten up!
"As expected of the aphrodisiac spirit..."
Silently putting down his bowl and chopsticks, Li Ke bent down and tried hard to change his expression from wanton, lewd, and blushing to calm.
But the heat all over his body told him that things were not that simple.
"Honestly, this is pure magic."
Li Ke looked at Erina, who looked like she was about to vomit and was eating the delicious food that made him hallucinate. He couldn't help but sigh, then silently took out a bottle of honey.
"Use this to send it off?"
Erina immediately narrowed her eyes.
"Are you looking down on me? These are important supplies!"
She was very dissatisfied, but the hard-to-swallow food still made her body crave sugar.
Looking at her uncomfortable face, Li Ke still smiled and handed the honey to her.
He really thought so.
Because as long as they are not too unlucky, they will no longer encounter the situation where they have no way to deal with the infection.
"Anyway, the merchant has other medicines for sale, right? And it's not impossible to find more..."
Erina hesitated for a moment, but still took the honey. However, she did not open it. Instead, she put it directly into her inventory and turned away angrily.
"I'm not as stupid as you!"
Li Ke felt a little ashamed and stopped talking, but it wasn't because he felt ashamed for sending out strategic materials like honey, but because...
He once again felt a certain sense of shame about Erina's chest and thighs—and the pain from the collision.
