READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 7: Braised Beef Noodles
“Sure enough, using information asymmetry to deceive, the other party completely couldn’t see through my lies.”
Chen Xiyi looked at Wu Xiu, who was panting and feeling a bit embarrassed not far away.
As for why Chen Xiyi knew about this, of course, it was from the game logs.
【You and Friend: Wu Xiu worked together, Favorability +1, Current Favorability: 1 star】
Although the favorability level didn’t upgrade or manifest, it did increase.
“This favorability seems to cover a wide range, or is it simply a case of not developing other modules?”
Wu Xiu contributed nearly 90 units of dirt, 30 units of stone, and 1 unit of iron to Chen Xiyi, which was quite decent, especially the 1 unit of iron, which pleasantly surprised Chen Xiyi.
The iron ore in his homestead had long been depleted, so this 1 unit of iron was a complete unexpected delight. He hadn’t even managed to dig it out himself; it was dug out by Wu Xiu. Of course, credit for this goes to Wu Xiu, as his digging speed was faster than Chen Xiyi’s.
He was putting in the hard work, while Chen Xiyi was simply standing and reading progress bars, so there was naturally a difference.
However, the scholars of the Great Li Kingdom seem to be a different breed from the scholars who pursued the six arts in his past life. Rather, they were the type of scholars who were physically weak and powerless.
After digging for some time, Wu Xiu was already exhausted, with hunger and fatigue appearing as new statuses in his status bar. Even his health had dropped by 2%.
Chen Xiyi was helpless about this and could only take out a bowl of braised beef noodles from his inventory to hand to Wu Xiu.
【Braised Beef Noodles】
【Satiety +150】
【Slowly restores health points】
Generally, cooked food items have two attributes, one that increases satiety and another that appears randomly.
“I see that you are also hungry, so have something to eat.” Chen Xiyi said with a smile.
Smelling the aroma of the braised beef noodles, Wu Xiu licked his lips and said, “You should eat first, I’m not hungry.”
As soon as he said this, his stomach grumbled loudly, making him even more embarrassed.
This bowl of braised beef noodles was a proper dish with chunks of beef, savory broth, and chewy noodles. It was extremely delicious, unlike the Kang Shuai Fu instant noodles that are rumored to lightly injure the beef used after ten years.
“Eat up. You’ve been gathering soil, stones, and refining esoteric earth for me. I can’t let you starve. This is the food I brought out; ordinary people rarely get a chance to eat it.” Chen Xiyi coaxed.
He couldn’t just tell him that not working due to hunger and fatigue was not acceptable.
Even when dealing with a tool person, one shouldn’t be too rough. It’s necessary to take care of the other person’s emotions.
“Thank you, Immortal.” Upon hearing this, Wu Xiu hesitated for a moment, then took the bowl of braised beef noodles.
What really made Wu Xiu decide to eat was Chen Xiyi saying it’s something he brought out, indicating it was food for the immortals, which piqued his interest.
As he held the bowl of noodles and took a sip of the broth, the savory and spicy taste permeated his entire body from bottom to top. He felt warm all over.
“It’s indeed a divine item. With just a sip of the soup, all my fatigue and hunger vanished, and even the lingering soreness from long periods of sitting disappeared by half.”
With just one mouthful of the soup, his satiety immediately increased, and the slow recovery of health points instantly filled his health bar.
This made Chen Xiyi a bit puzzled, isn’t this effect a bit too good, or is Wu Xiu’s health too low?
Because the health value was only at one hundred percent, not a fixed number, Chen Xiyi couldn’t estimate how much it was approximately.
Wu Xiu’s original fatigue and hunger had also disappeared, turning into a state of vigorous energy and slow health recovery.
The former was a state obtained after the satiety overflowed, and the latter was naturally due to the braised beef noodles.
Wu Xiu was delighted by this bowl of soup, and naturally scooped the noodles into his mouth.
Even as a wealthy family in Lingqu City, it was his first time tasting such delicious noodles. None of the restaurants in Lingqu City could produce noodles as delicious as the one he had today.
Of course not, this bowl of braised beef noodles was produced by the Home System, so it must be delicious.
In just a short while, he had finished up the soup and noodles in big gulps.
After finishing the meal, the bowl and chopsticks turned into light spots and disappeared, which surprised Wu Xiu. It turned out these immortals didn’t need to wash dishes after meals.
It’s no wonder. Chen Xiyi didn’t use materials like bowls and chopsticks when making the braised beef noodles, so of course the chopsticks disappeared after eating.
“Burp, Immortal, this bowl of noodles makes me feel reborn.” Wu Xiu wiped his mouth unceremoniously and continued working with a pickaxe.
He now felt endless energy all over his body.
“As long as you like it, I was worried you wouldn’t be accustomed to it.” Chen Xiyi said with concern.
Although this tool man consumed a bit of physical strength, as long as he was willing to work, all the future meals would be provided by Chen Xiyi without any problems.
He needed a large amount of non-renewable resources, especially soil, which was valuable. He could use wood and soil to synthesize coal and coal with stone to synthesize iron ore.
However, he needed to build a laboratory in order to synthesize.
A workbench, a furnace, a workshop, and a laboratory were very important facilities, and currently, Chen Xiyi only had the first three in his home.
The workbench was used to make tools, equipment, boards, and more, the furnace was used to smelt materials like steel ingots, copper ingots, etc., and the workshop further made various furniture and equipment.
The laboratory was the most special, not only able to synthesize materials but also enchant weapons, armor, tools, and more with other materials.
Unfortunately, the resources needed for the laboratory were too many, even after digging out all the non-renewable resources in his home, Chen Xiyi couldn’t assemble them.
Therefore, the laboratory had to be converted into a large kitchen, which was also very worthwhile. At least Chen Xiyi only needed to provide ingredients, and he could enjoy delicious food every day.
“The food provided by the Immortal is naturally extremely delicious, how could it not be to your liking.” Wu Xiu hurriedly said.
The two of them chatted from time to time, but most of it was spoken by Wu Xiu, while Chen Xiyi listened.
With the state of vigorous energy, Wu Xiu’s efficiency in work naturally increased.
“Wu Xiu, where are you?”
“Young Master, come out quickly.”
The abrupt shout made Wu Xiu pause involuntarily.
Chen Xiyi naturally noticed the situation and asked, “Looking for you?”
“Yes, Immortal.” Wu Xiu replied.
