Chapter 107 Slingshot
Lu Youyou waited in the same spot for a long time.
Even after the invisibility skill wore off, the woman's help still hadn't arrived.
It's time for her to go.
Perhaps the woman's accomplice abandoned her.
She waited there for more than forty minutes; if her accomplices had wanted to chase her, they would have caught up long ago.
Not pursuing it probably means giving up.
Use an advanced restoration card on the RV to restore it to its original condition.
Lu Youyou selected the location of the treasure chest closest to her and set the navigation forward.
She sat on the sofa and took a deep breath to calm herself down.
If she hadn't also had an invisibility item that allowed her to catch that woman off guard, everything she had worked so hard to obtain would have been used to benefit someone else.
Sure enough, what kind of good-for-nothing can survive until now?
It seems she'll have to be extremely careful from now on.
[A message came in the group chat.]
Upon hearing Xiao Lu's announcement, Lu Youyou opened the small group chat.
[Talkative Stone: That was close! I almost died. I ran into someone with a pistol, but luckily I can turn invisible and killed her with an axe.]
[Silent Little Sheep: It's good that you're alright. Everyone, please be careful. This is only the first day of the treasure hunt, and we've already encountered such a powerful person. The road ahead won't be easy.]
Looking at the string of nicknames on the public screen, Lu Youyou felt dizzy.
I gave them nicknames using their real names one by one, and also changed my own group nickname to my real name.
[Yang Yan: Oh, right, I have something else to tell you. The wish skill can only get one-time skill cards. I don't know if it's just my bad luck or if it's a general rule.]
[Wang Qiao: That's the general rule. I was lucky, but I could only get one-time skill cards.]
[Zhang Yuning: Okay, I was thinking of wishing for a skill from the next treasure chest.]
[Lu Youyou: I killed someone and inherited the victim's kill count. I suspect this is related to my ranking after the game ends.]
[Zhang Yuning: Huh? I also killed someone, but maybe that person didn't kill anyone else, so I didn't inherit anything. Given how this game works, the more people you kill, the more likely you are to get first place.]
[Lu Youyou: Not necessarily. In the later days of the Hunger Games, the lower the level of the treasure chest, the more authentic the food inside. I don't know if you guys remember.]
[Wang Qiao: Youyou is right, this game can't be viewed through the eyes of a normal person.]
[Zhang Yuning: That's the reverse, the fewer people you kill, the higher your ranking.]
Yang Yan: You never know. What if the game is just that twisted, guesses our intentions, and does the opposite of what we want?
Zhang Yuning: ...
[Lu Youyou: Nobody can predict rankings. As long as we act with a clear conscience, that's enough. Let's just take the rankings in stride; we've already got the treasure chest.]
She wouldn't kill intentionally like a serial killer, but she also wouldn't act like a coward and wait to be bullied.
She has always believed in the principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me".
"Wow~"
Little Black lay on the ground, its four legs in the air, its belly exposed, and began to whimper.
"Master, I'm hungry! When is dinner?"
"You're hungry so quickly? It's only a few... one o'clock in the afternoon?"
Time flies so fast.
Before I knew it, the morning was over.
"Wait a moment, I'll open the can for you right away."
Lu Youyou opened a can of dog food for Xiao Hei to fill its belly, and then started steaming buns.
While the steamed buns were being made, Lu Youyou went to the roof of the car to pick vegetables.
The lettuce is ready, and Lu Youyou is going to make oyster sauce lettuce today.
Instead of pulling the lettuce up by the roots, she carefully removed the outer leaves.
As long as the growing point of the lettuce is not damaged, the lettuce will continue to grow.
Because the lettuce is usually fertilized with Hun Dan water, its leaves have grown larger than any Lu Youyou has ever seen before.
Even without unfolding it, it's comparable to an A4 sheet of paper.
After picking about 20 leaves, Lu Youyou stopped and took them to the folding bathroom to wash the vegetables.
After washing, Lu Youyou stacked the vegetable leaves, made a vertical cut, and a horizontal cut.
This makes it easier to eat.
Then, she started boiling water in a small stainless steel pot on another induction cooker.
After the water boils, add salt and blanch the lettuce leaves in batches.
Lettuce leaves are tender, so they don't need to be blanched for too long.
Lu Youyou counted the time, taking the food out every ten seconds and placing it on a plate to keep it ready.
After blanching the last batch of lettuce leaves, Lu Youyou used chopsticks to block the leaves and poured out the water from the plate.
Next, we'll prepare the oyster sauce.
She didn't have any garlic, so she didn't chop it.
Take out a small bowl, add three spoonfuls of oyster sauce, two spoonfuls of light soy sauce, half a spoonful of sugar and a small half bowl of water, and the simple oyster sauce is ready.
After removing the small pot, Lu Youyou took out a large iron pot from the cupboard.
Turn on the range hood, heat oil in a wok, and add oyster sauce.
Turn down the heat on the induction cooker, which is equivalent to simmering over low heat, and stir with chopsticks during the process.
As the water evaporated, the oyster sauce thickened, and Lu Youyou turned off the induction cooker.
Hold the pot with one hand and pour the sauce over the lettuce.
She didn't pour the sauce evenly, so she stirred it with chopsticks to make sure every leaf of vegetable was coated with sauce.
The dishes are ready, but the steamed buns aren't done yet.
I waited another five minutes.
The steamed bun is cooked only when Lu Youyou can easily pierce it with chopsticks.
I gave two to Xiao Hei, ate one myself, and then we split the oyster sauce lettuce equally.
Eating alone was too boring, so Lu Youyou opened the public chat and watched while she ate.
[The monkey who loves kiwis: I love this game; you can get whatever you want from treasure chests.]
[A cow who loves milk: Judging from the description upstairs, there's nothing good there. The wishes I made weren't even that big; they're so easily satisfied.]
[The user "Boots Who Loves Lamb Spine" posted: "I found a slingshot. Anyone want it? Trade me food."]
[A noob gamer who loves playing games: You don't even want the weapons?]
[The Boots Who Loves Lamb Spine: A heads-up: the slingshot is very heavy; weak people can't pull it. Also, I only sell slingshots, not projectiles.]
【…】
Looking at what the boots were saying, Lu Youyou thought of the colorful marbles that had been drawn today.
Although they are not professional projectiles, using a slingshot as projectiles is not impossible.
Having more weapons means having more options, and she doesn't mind having too many weapons.
Thinking of this, Lu Youyou put down the steamed bun in her hand and sent a private message to that person.
[Workaholics: Here's a can of cat food, and in return, a slingshot, okay?]
[A fan of lamb spine hotpot: Aren't there any canned foods that nobody eats? Like luncheon meat?]
Lu Youyou rummaged through the compartments of her backpack before replying.
[Workaholics: There's no canned food for humans, so it's either cat food or dog food.]
[The guy who loves lamb spine: ...Look at what's written on the can, which one has the highest meat content?]
Lu Youyou went to the kitchen and took out cat food and dog food cans to look at.
Dog food cans say 80% animal-based ingredients, while cat food cans say 99% animal protein.
Lu Youyou pursed her lips. Animal-based ingredients and animal protein shouldn't be the same thing... right?
However, she had heard a saying before that cats are carnivores and dogs are omnivores.
Therefore, in theory, canned cat food should have a higher meat content.
[Workaholics: Cat food!]
