Chapter 48: Delicious Flower Roll
For the entire afternoon, Yu Jiang was modifying her brand new camping off-road pickup truck, busy yet fulfilling.
In between, a few zombies roaring against the storm approached, and she removed Blueberry’s thermal cover, letting Furious Blueberry attack.
Bang bang bang, unripe blueberries shot out one by one.
[Furious Blueberry: Ahhhh!!! Such heavy rain, such ugly zombies! Even though I’m not human, you’re really a dog!]
Yu Jiang pretended not to see, as she needed to record Furious Blueberry’s damage to the monsters.
Summary: Damage is low, but momentum is strong. This move has a surprise attack effect on humans, but against zombies without pain or thought, the effect is still a bit lacking.
In the end, she still held the Critical Hit Bayonet and jumped off the vehicle to deal with them.
“It’s lucky that Dave’s doorstep is planted with Peashooters; if it were Furious Blueberry, the house would’ve been torn down by zombies long ago.”
[Furious Blueberry: Hmph! I’m angry now, and it can’t be coaxed without 2 Sunlight Cards.]
Yu Jiang took out 4 Sunlight Cards, and Furious Blueberry immediately changed faces, happily stretching its leaves.
Pretty easy to coax.
She now has plenty of everything, just lots of supplies! She’s even stockpiled 10 Sunlight Cards.
Inside the vehicle, behind the driver’s seat, Yu Jiang organized a small space and placed the shopping basket she got from the supermarket, which can be used to temporarily hold dirty clothing.
She placed the car refrigerator next to the car space storage box, filled with food and drinks for easy access.
Later, when there are more car space storage boxes, they can be installed categorically: dedicated for weapons, dedicated for clothing, so the vehicle interior can be both tidy and functional for storage.
Space storage boxes are quite precious; besides resource boxes from instance rewards, she hasn’t seen any other places with them.
Yu Jiang hung the removed raincoat inside the truck bed’s tent cloth to prevent water from dripping everywhere inside the vehicle.
She put the cool slippers and towel and other toiletries in the bathroom. After showering, she put on the soft and comfortable cotton slippers, sat comfortably back on the bed, and waited for dinner.
During this time, Yu Jiang didn’t idle; she upgraded the old crafting bench to a level 1 workbench, requiring steel blocks *10, level 1 toolbox *1.
The level 1 toolbox is just a name; what’s needed is to gather the tools inside, and their quality must reach light green or above.
The tools Yu Jiang originally had in hand had no quality, barely usable.
They become unsuitable once crafting scrolls reach higher levels. Luckily, low-quality tools aren’t hard to get, just a bit expensive.
Yu Jiang has hard currency—medicine. As long as the price isn’t outrageous, she has no issue.
“Big Shot, I’ve received everything except the anvil, at a price even a bit lower than what you offered. I can make the anvil here, just still collecting materials. Wait a moment.”
“Good.” Yu Jiang directly sent the agreed reward first.
Some things are troublesome to collect; leave professional matters to professionals.
The anvil is the platform used for forging. Only a workbench equipped with an anvil can craft anti-skid chains.
Purple Butt Can Do It also has anti-skid chain scrolls. Yu Jiang didn’t hide what she wanted to do. With so many people in the game area, there’s high demand for such basic manufacturing supplies, no competition.
Once the anti-skid chains are made, Yu Jiang will have Purple Butt Can Do It help sell them on commission.
Not just Yu Jiang; Purple Butt Can Do It’s list also includes proper blacksmiths.
Otherwise, where would he collect the tools she wants?
Purple Butt Can Do It is very efficient; in just over ten minutes, he sent over the anvil.
Once she got the item, Yu Jiang immediately upgraded the workbench. With the steel blocks left in her hand, excluding the 20 she reserved for emergencies, she could still make 16 anti-skid chains.
She’ll craft them before sleeping. She’s now formed a habit of raising her fatigue value before sleep each day, emphasizing zero waste!
She placed the workbench in the truck bed first. Yu Jiang took the chance to check again; the tent cloth wasn’t leaking, very sturdy.
As for supplies with no space inside the vehicle for now, she piled them in the shopping basket first, moved to the corner to prevent them from falling out during vehicle acceleration and braking.
The sky gradually darkened. Just after 7 PM, Sad Pig Intestine sent a picture message in the friend group.
On two stainless steel plates, hand-pulled noodles and fragrant scallion flower rolls were neatly arranged.
White, soft, fluffy, neatly shaped, with green scallion bits dotted on top. Just looking at the picture made it seem like the aroma was already wafting.
“The scallions were also provided by @The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain Big Shot. Mixed Noodles will be ready soon, plus kelp soup. Everyone wait a bit, dinner will be served! My steamer is small, so steaming the flower rolls took some time.”
Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy: “Is this real?! Or did zombies hit me with a hallucination? It looks so delicious! Thanks to the teammates who provided supplies and to Intestine!”
Kuang Kuang Kuang: “How could days possibly be the same no matter who you spend them with! Even if I die, I’ll die in your friend group!”
Hand Holding Cleaver Chopping Wire: “Me too!”
Sad Pig Intestine: “No no no, let’s say something auspicious instead.”
28-bar Bicycle: “Too grateful! I didn’t dare imagine we could eat such good food here.”
Lightning Mage King: “It’s that feeling of still having hope while alive!”
Han Jiang Gu Ying: “Already drooling just looking. Too bad the weather’s been bad lately, no animals coming out. Otherwise, I could try setting traps to hunt.”
But a Little Frost: “How about collecting some supplies? Otherwise, I feel bad eating. Making these is quite troublesome too. I don’t have fresh ingredients, but I have flour and some seasonings.”
Pig Intestine: “No worries, ingredients and cookware were originally what the Big Shot wanted to share for a meal together. I kept some ingredients for myself, no loss!”
Though said that way, everyone still contributed some ingredients—flour, cake flour, milk powder, rice—saying to keep them at Pig Intestine’s for next time there’s a group meal activity.
Yu Jiang looked at the channel messages, “Got milk powder? I have cotton candy and nuts here. Make snowflake crisps?”
Sad Pig Intestine: “I can do that too! Leave it to me! I have coconut oil, can substitute for butter.”
Kuang Kuang Kuang: “I still have biscuits here.”
And just like that, they even planned tomorrow’s meals.
Sad Pig Intestine: “Received snowflake crisp materials. Expected to make them tomorrow afternoon. Everyone keep chatting, I’ll check if the soup’s ready.”
Seeing Pig Intestine mention soup, everyone was full of anticipation again. If they could go to others’ roads, they’d all want to bring a bowl and wait right there.
7:40 PM.
Pig Intestine announced, “Dinner’s served!”
The group was filled with excited “ahh” sounds, and Pig Intestine followed with another message,
“Send over your tableware, I’ll serve one by one.”
Yu Jiang sent her instant noodles small bowl and the stainless steel bowl from the supermarket.
Besides the food sent by Pig Intestine, she also had an extra portion of boiled seafood.
At the supermarket, she considered that seafood isn’t very filling and low in fat.
Pork, beef, and lamb have better cost-performance, so she didn’t take much—just enough for her own craving and as processing reward.
“Big Shot, if it’s not enough, just tell me! This bag of flower rolls is for the Big Shots who provided ingredients, saved separately for you.”
Sad Pig Intestine sent Yu Jiang’s portion first. Not only did she provide several ingredients, she was also his big client!
If not for the Big Shot girl, how could he get to eat seafood too.
