No one can resist the temptation of good food, especially when they are hungry like this.

As soon as the pot was boiled, Asuna, who was already licking her lips and waiting next to her, couldn't wait to take out a spoon from her bag and carefully tasted the chicken soup, and her brown eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hmm...... It's delicious. ”

Although Gui Yanye is not very accustomed to this atmosphere of eating around a pot, every load on the pack horse is precious, and it is impossible to bring a bunch of bowls and pots, so he can only pick up the chicken with two wooden sticks with shaved chopsticks, blow it warm, put it in his mouth and taste it, and his big melancholy eyes can't help but light up slightly.

"Dire-kun, you must be from Huaxia." Asuna suddenly affirmed.

"How do you know?" Luo Jie asked with a smile.

"I noticed that many of your habits are very subtle differences from those of our Japanese people, until I ate this chicken ...... stewed by you," Asuna pointed to the iron pot that had been brought down from the fire, and her eyes narrowed slightly with a hint of pride, "It tastes a lot like what I used to eat in a Chinese restaurant, but the taste you made is better than Dire-kun." ”

"It's a pity it's still a little bit worse." Luo Jie shook his head regretfully.

"No...... I think Dire-kun's dish is perfect. ”

Gui Yanye's face is sincere, it is said that most of the girls who cook hard have a dull sense of taste, and the same means that they are not picky eaters.

"No, one day you see my cooking glowing, that's really perfect."

Asuna and Gui Yanye covered their mouths and chuckled at the same time, just as Luo Jie was joking with them.

The other traversers were also cooking on the fire at the moment, but they were not as prepared as Luo Jie, at most they put the game they had caught on the fire and sprinkled it with salt to roast it as an additional meal.

Most people's dinner consists of scones with clean water – and because there are no tools to boil water, even drinking hot water is a luxury for them.

"Dire-kun." Halfway through the meal, Asuna glanced in the direction of the red-haired "Klein" team in the distance, and said with a little hesitation: "I see that we can't finish this pot of food, can I send some to "Lucky"?" ”

Luo Jie was feeding chicken to the little golden retriever sitting on his lap, and when he heard Asuna's words, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at her with a strange look.

"Can't you?"

Asuna was a little weak-hearted, after all, this pot of stewed chicken was completed by Luo Jie alone from the raw materials to the finished product, and she used the fruits of other people's labor to give favors, which was a little unreasonable.

"Ah...... It's nothing, just now I suddenly remembered something and wandered. ”

Luo Jie smiled apologetically, picked out the thickest stump from the pyre beside him, and used the small [Alaska Whaling Fork Survival Knife] to break it horizontally and dig a groove, pouring in some chicken and chicken broth.

"Thank you." Asuna left happily with the simple wooden tub.

Gui Yanye sat by the bonfire with his knees crossed, adding a few sticks of wood to the fire from time to time, and suddenly looked sideways at Luo Jie, with a shallow smile on the corner of his pink mouth.

"Dire-kun...... I love Sister Asuna very much. ”

Luo Jie smiled noncommittally, could he say that he was just having a bad taste, and he simply wanted to see what kind of magical scene it would be for the current girlfriend and ex-girlfriend of Kirito, the protagonist of the original book, to play together?

After dinner, Luo Jie moved the campfire not far away and set up a tent on the scorched ground.

According to the normal procedure, a circle of medicinal powder to repel snakes and insects should also be sprinkled around the tent, but this bonfire is lit with [Campfire Technique], and its built-in spiritual coercion effect is better than any medicinal powder, saving a lot of troublesome camping steps.

The name of logistics magic is not blown.

The tent was set up, but then a very serious problem was placed in front of the three of them.

Three people, one tent, how do you sleep on this?

In fact, this problem has not been considered before, but there is really no better way to solve it.

The tent was arguably the most important of all necessities, and even if they had bought pack horses, they would not have been able to bring another tent for the inconvenience.

"Why don't you let Yuki come and sleep...... Dire-kun, please go and squeeze with Klein, please! Asuna folded her hands and made an apologetic expression.

"Yes, you can." Luo Jie raised his head and smiled, but he didn't move while sitting by the campfire, he was very attentive to playing with a small air mass in his hand, and said, "You can just call "Xing" over, I don't think it's very convenient for her to sleep there as a girl...... I'm not very sleepy right now, so I'll help you watch the fire for a while, and then I'll go back to Klein and them. ”

The night is getting deeper.

After a whole day of fighting, the already sleepy and tired traversers fell asleep one after another, and snoring sounded one after another in the tents everywhere.

Most of the fires that had been left untended had been extinguished, leaving only a few bits of ash that emitted residual warmth, and only a few of the fires where the night watchmen were located still burning quietly at the edge of the camp.

Luo Jie sat by the campfire leaning against the pyre, continuing to study the unfinished [Arcane Missile] derivative skill.

The accumulated 400 points of cold attribute resistance of [Snow White Wolf King Light Armor] and [GANTZ Enhanced Suit Zero] allowed him to completely ignore the polar cold, and the cool breeze of a few degrees above zero on the grassland night was simply fresh and pleasant to him.

"Still a little bit off......"

Feeling that his spiritual power was about to bottom out, Luo Jie temporarily stopped supplying the [Arcane Missile] skill, and the suspended air mass in his hand suddenly turned into nothing like smoke.

During this time, he has not stopped developing and researching this derivative skill, but so far, he has only been able to keep the [Arcane Missile] in his hand for a short time, but he has never been able to make it spin according to his intentions.

Who knows how he would have wanted to develop a spin-off skill on a whim?

Luo Jie estimated that if he could use the wasted time to go to which illusion realm to brush up points, it was estimated that he would be able to buy at least one melee skill above E purple at this time.

It's a pity that it's too late to come back now, he is a little obsessive-compulsive in doing things, and he really can't stand the frustration of giving up halfway.

Just this once!

Luo Jie secretly made up his mind, and after developing the derivative skill of this [Arcane Missile], he said that he would not study other derivative skills anymore.

……

In the tent on the other side of the fire, a private night meeting that Luo Jie didn't know about was secretly unfolding between the three girls.
