"Ahma! Another prosciutto! Good luck! Chen Kai pulled out the third smoked ham from a resident's cellar and felt very happy, for them, fresh vegetables or something can only be stored for a month at most, and it has to be potatoes, a shelf-stable vegetable, if replaced with ordinary tomatoes or cabbage, it is estimated that it can last for 7 or 15 days, it will be good, unless you put them into a space appliance and then don't open that space appliance, otherwise the outside air will eventually enter it with the opening of the space.

The spatial equipment in the game cannot be completely static, in fact, many spatial equipment is constructed by the existence of the shadow plane. Basically, it is equivalent to using mana to open a small opening in space to the shadow plane, and then using mana to lay out an area in the shadow plane to store items. Because of the characteristics of space equipment, players can't buy a lot of materials at once and stack them in space equipment, they can only pick some things that can be stored for a long time and stack them. Similar to alcoholic ham, it has a long storage time. For Chen Kai, the bacon ham is not a very good food, because some of the bacon smells of rotten meat, and it is obvious that the meat has gone bad before it is made into bacon. It's just that the thrifty civilians still turn these meats into cured or bacon after adding a lot of salt, and of course Chen Kai's backpack will never store these.
Here, Chen Kai and they have to thank the system for launching the gourmet system, this new feature will not introduce players to various foods in the game, but it can identify the quality of various ingredients for players, and use various stars to show the quality of ingredients. The golden star represents high-quality ingredients, and if it is black, it means that you can't eat food. Chen Kai: Most of the ingredients they found were white stars, although many of them were two or three stars, but among the qualities classified by gold, white and black in the five-star food classification with the highest number of stars, the white quality can only be said to be ordinary ingredients, not delicious ingredients. Of course, for Chen Kai, there are not too many requirements for whether the ingredients are delicious or not, in fact, this gourmet's plug-in has only appeared in the game for less than three days, if it weren't for the quick identification of which foods can be stored, Chen Kai would not have spent ten gold coins to buy this plug-in.
Yes. As one of the few paid add-ons in the game, the Foodie add-on is something that has just been developed, but this add-on has made many players feel like they are in the game. At least for some players who are involved in buying and selling food in the game, this add-on allows them to spend less time picking ingredients, and also reduces the chance of being cheated by the aborigines. For Chen Kai and his family, the only benefit of the gourmet system is that it saves them time in finding food, but unfortunately the system can be very noisy in places full of food. If Chen Kai had used this system in the forest three days ago, he would have heard a shrill chirp in his ears, telling him that there were extremely delicious matsutake mushrooms or truffles around him. It's just that this is definitely not what Chen Kai wants, and for him, this plug-in is this problem, which is very bad. Obviously not suitable for frequent opening. After all, no one could stand the starry eyes and the noise in their ears, so Chen Kai and the others just opened it a little while they were searching for food in the cellar.
Of course, the reason why it is not opened often is that in addition to the fact that this plugin is too noisy, there is another point that is where Chen Kai and them are, after all, they are now in Kramerti, which has just been attacked by the beast tide. If it weren't for the fact that there was no information to prove it, the monsters of Kramerti rushed towards the next city, Abrasher. It is estimated that Chen Kai and the others will continue to shrink into the forest as savages. However, most of the monsters went to Abrash with the tide of beasts, which did not mean that Kramerti was safe, at least Chen Kai and they encountered several groups of monsters on the streets. There were almost everything from maned wild boars to rampaging black bears, and Chen Kai also had several fresh demonic beast corpses in their backpacks, and it was estimated that no intermediate demonic beast could withstand the attack of a great knight of the Earth Temple who was about to advance to the ninth order.
Although Gris? Qiang has not yet advanced to the middle level of the ninth order, but he still has an overwhelming advantage over the demonic beasts below the seventh order. In fact, even if he didn't make a move, Chen Kai and they could kill the monsters that were just ordinary templates, for them, the ordinary demonic beasts of the sixth order did not pose much threat at all, and the only danger was the creatures with the elite template or the creatures with a higher level of the command template.
There are definitely monsters with advanced templates in Kramerti, but Chen Kai and they are lucky and have never encountered them. So it was a good ride to loot several blocks. It's just that they couldn't find much except for some food, and even the blacksmith didn't have any weapons, just iron ingots that hadn't been made into weapons yet. However, Chen Kai and the others did not collect the iron ingots, because they knew that the aborigines of Kramerti were not dead, and in fact they would leave a few silver or gold coins in each place when they picked up the meat to pay for the bacon and ham.
Chen Kai: They are not short of a few silver or gold coins, in fact, they have money in their pockets but have nowhere to spend it. If Kramerti still had people, they would definitely use the gold coins in their pockets to buy supplies. Rather than resorting to this no-nonsense approach. Although Kramerti was attacked by the monsters, compared to the cities that were completely razed, Kramerti still retains the intact city buildings, so when the beast tide recedes, the city will quickly recover. It's just that Chen Kai didn't know that Kramerti did not recover later, but became a city completely occupied by demonic beasts. When they found out, they regretted that they didn't loot a lot of wealth in the city, and of course they did a lot of it.
For the materials in the hands of the civilians, Chen Kai and they subsidized some gold and silver coins, but for some things in the manor, Chen Kai did not even subsidize a copper coin. Especially when they found a closed dungeon in a manor, and found the bones of several young girls in the dungeon, they directly set fire to the manor, and then directly looted all the belongings that could be found in the manor. Chen Kai: They are not jealous and hateful people. But in the face of the bones of those girls, they still felt angry. If the owner of that manor was still there, Chen Kai would definitely pull out his weapon and slash the other party. It's a pity that the other party didn't give him a chance, so he can only use this method to make the other party feel heartache.
Of course, this ransack was not very successful, as the wealth they found added up to less than five thousand gold coins. Although it was the cost of cutting off the spell materials given to Xu Fei and the few spellcasters, and the value of the various gold and silver utensils found was not calculated, it was undeniable that the owner of the manor had really taken all the large amounts of cash he could take with him when he fled. Because if it weren't for the large amount of cash, it was all taken away. Then what remains in the manor's treasure trove should not be a pile of copper and silver coins, but a pile of gold coins.
However, these copper and silver coins were finally given to those civilians by Chen Kai and the others very kindly. Kindness! To be precise, they left it in the houses of those civilians, and then took away the bacon and ham and other materials in the houses that could be preserved for a long time. The result of this move did not benefit the local residents of Kramerti, but rather a very frustrating thing for players to do in the future, that is, players who risked their lives to rush into Kramerti found piles of copper coins in the homes of various residents. In the end, those players directly turned Kramerti into a copper coin town, although in fact there were very few residents who actually put copper coins, after all, Chen Kai's backpack space was so large that it was impossible to go into all the houses to find supplies. After filling up the established space for storing food, Chen Kai and his family began to look for something to use in the city. After seeing the dungeon in that manor, Chen Kai's views on certain things changed. For some manor buildings, they will first look for whether there is a dungeon or something, if it is so easy to loot the manor, a normal manor owner will generally not build a dungeon in his own home, only those who are engaged in shady activities will have this practice.
For the sacking of these estates, Chen Kai almost spared no effort. Not only did he finish the looting, but he also set a fire to burn everything. It's just that it's just the dungeon that is burned, after all, no one comes back to put out the fire in Kramerti now, and if the entire city is set on fire to Chen Kai, they will be guilty of a big crime.
"Shhh I didn't expect this rich man to have such a good thing! Chen Kai slowly exhaled the smoke in his mouth and slowly said what he really thought in his heart, what he was holding in his mouth now was not something else, it was a cigar made of tobacco leaves in the game. In fact, Chen Kai never thought that there would be such a thing as cigars in the game, although he knew that many plants in the game would be stored in reality, but he rarely saw regular cigarettes for sale, Chen Kai was not a senior smoker, especially after entering the game, the smoking addiction was directly quit. After all, if you want to smoke in the game, you can't find a cigarette, although Chen Kai has tried the local smoke in the game, but the smell is absolutely overwhelming, and the mouth is full of burnt smell.
"Yes! Cigars! The system appraises the price of up to 1,000 gold coins. Definitely a luxury! This rich man actually hid more than a hundred, hundreds of thousands! Fei Yun slowly sniffed the rich tobacco flavor on the cigar with his nose, he was an old smoker older than Chen Kai. Don't look at him fat, but he has smoked the longest of all, starting to smoke at the age of 18 and now has six years of smoking experience. It's just that he can't smoke in the game, as a thief, he can't have any smoke smell on his body, because the smell of smoke will require various drugs to get rid of it, so although he wants to smoke it a little after seeing the cigar, he is still suffering from patience, instead of directly lighting one and stuffing it into his mouth like Chen Kai.
"Fourth! You don't smoke! If you don't smoke it, give it to me! Watching Fei Yun keep sniffing his cigar with his nose. Xu Fei slowly rubbed to the other party's side and licked his face and said. As for the reason why Xu Fei licked his face like this, it was very simple, that is, the special function of tobacco leaves in the game. In reality, cigarettes have a refreshing effect, but in the game, this effect is even more special, that is, the speed of gathering the magic of refreshing. This is a bit of a trick, comparing smoking and magic are two things that don't match each other at all, but in the game they are combined, and the reason why the price of cigars is so high is also because of this. In fact, this cigar worth 1000 gold coins is not the most expensive, the real expensive in the game are the tobacco that has been added with various concentrating drugs, which can effectively increase the speed at which the magic gathers when the mage meditates. At the same time, it increases the efficiency of meditation. In Chen Kai's view, it is basically because people's spirits are very relaxed when they smoke, and this relaxed state is the state that meditation needs most.
"Get out! You've taken half of it, don't keep beating me up about these ideas! For the familiar face that appeared in front of him, Fei Yun directly brushed it away with his palm. For Fei Yun, it was already very painful to have a cigarette and not be able to smoke, and if he had to let him spit out the cigar that had been so hard to his mouth, then it would be better to slaughter him with the knife. Although Fei Yun in reality has basically quit smoking physiologically because of the game. But psychologically there will still be a dependence on cigarettes, which is a matter of habit. An old smoker will subconsciously find a cigarette from it when he digs out his pocket, and Fei Yun is obviously such an old smoking gun. He often digs into his pocket, trying to find a cigarette in it, but unfortunately he never had the opportunity. The quality of the ordinary tobacco in the game is really poor,
"Xiao Wan! Is there any news on the web? How was the battle? Chen Kai slowly used the torch in his hand to burn down the rich man's house that had just been ransacked, in fact, Chen Kai and they didn't plan to ransack this guy. It's just that when they were looking for useful things in the other party's house, they found a few account books, which were full of information on the sale and purchase of slaves, and as a result, this guy was directly put on the blacklist that had to be looted by Chen Kai and them. Of course, this rich man is worthy of taking the dark road, and he has stored a large number of crossbow arrows and feather arrows in the basement of his home, as well as some rare magic materials, and even some black magic casting materials. You must know that some materials of black witchcraft are banned by the Spells Association because they are too evil. But some wizards still buy it secretly, after all, there are still some outlaws in some chaotic areas who will brave the ban of the Spell Guild to make these evil things. However, for Chen Kai and them, although these black witchcraft tools are more evil, they will always use some, even if He Liwen mainly focuses on white witchcraft and astrology. However, they will also learn some black magic that does not harm themselves as a means of attack. Therefore, this treasure room of the rich man is a huge gain for Chen Kai and them, so big that Chen Kai will wake up laughing when he dreams.
"It's not going to be good! Abrasher has now collided with the Beast Tide, and maybe this time it's not just the Beast Tide, you can check it out online for yourself! While Chen Kai and the others were packing up the materials in the treasure room, Su Wan was searching for information on the Internet outside, but the information she found on the Internet was not very optimistic. Obviously, Chen Kai's idea of going to Abrasher after collecting supplies was a bit too wishful thinking, and now they can't even go to the suburbs of Abrasher, let alone go to Abrasher.
"The rats hiding in the shadows have also appeared?!" Chen Kai looked at the battle screen of Abrasher on the video and felt a burst of shock, because the first person to attack the city or the first battle to take place on the screen was not the beast tide outside. It's inside the city. A large number of black-clad members of the dark forces attacked the soldiers guarding the city, dealing an extremely heavy blow to the guards on the city walls in less than a quarter of an hour, and no one would have thought that such a group of people would run out and attack at such a dangerous time. Chen Kai is absolutely not wrong to say that they are rats in the shadows, the dark forces in the game have always been invisible light beings, although Adria's player religion is also identified as the dark forces, but in the system camp judgment they still belong to the orderly and neutral existence zài. This is also the reason why although the two sides killed each other, they were still not surrounded and suppressed by the system. As for why they are considered dark forces, it is because the two player religions touch the roots of the original temple power in the game. This is also the player's religious personnel in the game, who are obviously judged by the system to be order-neutral forces, but they are still attacked by the order-neutral temple forces in the game, and even gods will be angry with the guys who grab jobs. When the gods were on fire, they directly knocked the player's religion into the realm of the dark forces, although in the eyes of most natives these guys are not evil people.
If it weren't for the horrible beast tide outside, it would have been an absolute tragedy for the Christian Judaism and Islamic players who retreated to Abrashur, because they might have been shot while lying down. In the face of the members of the dark forces who suddenly attacked the guards of the city walls, these religious players who were also identified by the temple as dark forces would definitely be killed together in normal times. However, at the moment when Abrashur encountered the beast tide, this part of the players was the military force that the temple had to rely on. It's just that in the player's opinion, the Temple's approach is a bit of using them as cannon fodder. It's just that no one would want to back down at that time. The number of players who retreated to Abrash is not large, only 400,000 in total, but these 400,000 players are all players around the fifth order, and the most important thing is that these people have been fighting near Adria all year round, and they have extremely rich combat experience, and they are not much higher than the combat ability of the aborigines guarding Abrasher. In fact, if it weren't for this group of players, perhaps the guards of Abrazor would have crumbled under the attack of the real dark forces, and the entire city would have fallen to the beast tide.
Of course, no one knew that the appearance of these dark forces represented the end this time. It's a start.
Although the dark forces have long appeared in the game as chaotic and evil factions, and in some places play extremely dishonorable positions. He even directly launched a wave of ghouls in the Hansting Empire, and almost wiped out the sacred mountain of the Temple of Dawn, but it ultimately failed. However, no one expected that in Anclo, the dark forces began to succeed, because they established a city belonging to the dark forces on the ruins of Adriatic - the dark city of Adriano. They didn't know about Chen Kai, who was in Kramerti, and they were still immersed in the shock of the human-beast battle of Abrasher in the distance
