Chapter 14: The Daily Life of a Lord
*The main quest has been updated
"Main quest: Clear the third floor of the dungeon and expand the territory of your dungeon.
Rewards: 15,000 XP EXP, Nature Staff, 2 Gold, 16 Silver and 3 Bronze. ”
Fang Mu raised his eyebrows, although these two golds were just mosquito legs compared to the wealth reserves of the entire territory, he would not take the wealth of the territory to fill his own pockets for no reason, these two golds were still very valuable to him.
His original private money was more than twelve gold, and Farr City and his party bought a set of Shadow Orbs and spent more than one gold, but they were made up for by the main quest of the atmosphere value that they had just completed.
A few days later.
Ever since the Crystal Squad returned, they hadn't been to the third layer.
The difference in strength is too big, let's wait until it's a little stronger, don't delay leveling, one step is fast, every step is fast, and you must not be overtaken by other players.
Even the brave newcomers who occasionally don't believe in evil and want to experience the battle, or try the "new dungeon", are like mud cows entering the sea, disappearing silently, accompanied by a prompt of zero health, and the screen will come to the resurrection waiting interface as soon as it turns.
The task of cleaning up the third layer has also become far away, and it must be put on hold.
However, Fang Mu's previous iron pickaxe leasing, the economic policy benefits of iron equipment exchange have also been declining, although players have been pouring in in the past few days, and the total production has been increasing, but the production volume of each person is steadily declining.
Everyone seems to be a little immobile.
Uli reported to Fang Mu the current situation in the territory, and the latter nodded, obviously expecting it.
"Let's not talk about that, how are you feeling these days? Do you have any feedback on the new golem training room, Laulvey, and Kentley? ”
Fang Mu asked, these days he has been urging the elite forces above the tenth level in the territory to conduct combat training, although it is less than a week before the trip to Farr City, but Fang Mu has improved the environmental atmosphere, it stands to reason that the strength of the NPCs in the Shadow Leaf Dungeon should have improved significantly.
"Lord Lord, the shadow energy of the dungeon is many times richer than before, I am now level twenty, not only me, but the average level of those elites above level ten you mentioned has also risen greatly."
Uri said respectfully, she was also quite happy to see the improvement of her ability.
"You...... Have you ever eaten human ingredients? ”
Fang Mu hesitated, but still said.
There are no humans in the NPCs of the Shadow Leaf Dungeon, and no one can cook food that humans can eat, players don't care, some of them like to hunt for curiosities, and they can eat some messy things, but even if they don't eat, it doesn't matter, it's just that there will be a little illusory hunger.
But the key is that Fang Mu himself has to eat, he has been choked by Uri's top cooking skills these days, and secretly goes to the goblin restaurant every day to eat something he can eat.
At least what they eat looks like it's human, barely acceptable to humans.
"Nope."
Uri replied.
"In an hour, call everyone to the cafeteria, and I'll make you a human dish at noon today."
"Oh, the human food I'm talking about is the kind of food that humans usually eat, not the kind that uses humans as ingredients."
Fang Mu hesitated for a moment and added, he didn't know if this supplement was very necessary.
When Uri heard this, she was stunned for a moment, as if she recognized her poor cooking skills, and her face flushed a little, but she still argued.
"You are a lord, how can you cook by yourself? Obviously we have so many ...... in the dungeon."
"Stop, do as I say."
"Yes."
In a moment, Fang Mu dragged a large bag of ingredients to the kitchen, these ingredients were specially bought by him, and he decided to learn cooking skills.
Cooking is an important skill in the game of Emerald Fragments, and it has important strategic value along with skills such as potion preparation, fishing, and crafting.
Cooking is not just about making a delicious dish, but of course, whether it's delicious or not is also an important aspect of cooking, and there are some culinary players with a top understanding of how powerful they are, but the taste is quite pungent, and users have to pinch their noses before taking it.
Pharmacists are known to be popularly known as small cooks.
And a good dish has both delicious and effective attributes, and it also looks very good, this kind of dish can be sold in the player's main city, and even high-end dishes can enter the auction house, and a dish can be sold at a very high price.
Fang Mu has often acted as a ghost wandering around the kitchen these days, as the saying goes, how big the heart is, how big the stove is, he is now forced to cook by famine, but he has also accumulated a little cooking proficiency by the way.
"Cooking Level: Beginner
Proficiency: 24/50"
The kitchen of the dungeon has also been repaired, and the original dilapidated appearance has been swept away, first of all, I found someone to clean it, and secondly, I laid a very particular floor tiles, and the iron pot or something has been renewed.
Of course, no matter how the kitchen in the dungeon is decorated, it still can't be gased, not to mention the dungeon, in the entire Vivian Kingdom, you can find a gas stove and count me as losing, this is the Tara continent, with special fire-making skills, whether it's Newton or anyone else, it doesn't matter.
Fang Mu picked up a bottle of flaxseed oil in one hand, poured a little into the pot, and put the other hand on the magic array outside the stove, and the blazing flames immediately sparked, licking the bottom of the pot.
As soon as the board was patted, an eggplant was shaken into the air, Fang Mu's kitchen knife was put out of the sheath, and with a pop, a warrior's skill "Sword Rain" was launched in response, and the knife light was bleak, like a cold moon, and what landed was the neat eggplant.
There are also all kinds of condiments, garlic, carrots, flour, and oil smoke are all absorbed by the special magic array in the kitchen, and outsiders can only hear the sound of oil zrazra in the kitchen.
At the table in the dining room, Ully, the human spider, Laulvey, the skeleton leader, and Kentley, the slime, were all restless.
"How can you get the lord to cook for himself?"
Laulvie was a little anxious, but he didn't know what to do for a while, after all, it was also the lord's request to let him sit here honestly.
"I didn't want him to go, but he wanted to go by himself, and I couldn't persuade him......"
Uri whispered to excuse herself, and she really didn't blame her for this.
Kentley was about to say something more, but at this moment, the various noises in the kitchen suddenly stopped, and the door opened immediately, and the slime shrank his neck and swallowed the words from his mouth.
Fang Mu came to everyone's side and put a plate of fragrant roasted eggplant on the table.
"Item Name: Burnt eggplant
Item Type: Cooking
Quality: Normal
Introduction: A plate of ordinary home-cooked roasted eggplant, done decently,
Function: Recover 50 HP points in 3 minutes and gain 1 temporary strength attribute point. ”
*Cooking proficiency +1
Of course, Fang Mu couldn't have just made this dish in the past half an hour, he brought the kitchen dishes one after another, and Uri realized it later, and quickly got up to help serve the dishes.
"Let me introduce to you, this dish is called braised eggplant, of course, in the words of our dungeon, this dish should be called eggplant corpses."
Fang Mu teased, the scene of entering the restaurant on the day he first came was still vivid, and these strange names with quite grooves at that time had an extremely rough impact on his young mind.
"Eat, why do you just sit?"
Fang Mu distributed the tableware to everyone's eyes and looked at everyone a little strangely.
"According to your previous table manners, people can only wait before you move the utensils."
Uri replied.
"All the words I said before are invalid, yesterday's me is not today's me, now everyone eats as you like, this dish is not poisonous."
Fang Mu was a little speechless, it seemed that the bad ideas of this Ray Beek's predecessor had poisoned the world for a long time, and the impact was beyond his imagination.
He was the first to take a bite of his eggplant and gave everyone a good demonstration, and then everyone tried this new plate of food from human territory.
"How?"
Fang Mu looked at everyone with a look of hope, and everyone hurriedly nodded like pounding garlic.
It's delicious, it's delicious, it's delicious, no matter how the dish is cooked, there is only one answer: delicious.
However, in all fairness, although the dish in front of him was very different from the food style of everyone's previous food, Fang Mu obviously knew how to cook, this dish was surprisingly delicious, and it gave people a strange sense of power when eaten.
Does it really seem pretty good?
The speed of everyone's eating suddenly sped up a lot, and after they were full of wine and food, Fang Mu went back to the lord's house to deal with affairs first, but the three people in the restaurant were all puzzled.
"When did the lord learn to cook?"
Larve, the Skeleton Leader, touched his bare skull, looking a little confused.
"Anyway, it's definitely not taught by Uri, although I'm not used to eating these meals, but I can feel that they are at least better than before."
Kentley's whole body turned the color of vegetable soup, and he slumped in his chair and didn't want to move.
"I ......"
Uri was embarrassed, a red glow rose up her cheeks, and she wanted to open her mouth to explain, but she couldn't say anything.
It's just that in her heart, Fang Mu's image has become taller and taller.
