Chapter 29 - Ring Upgrade, Little Chef Meng (1)

In the bathroom.

After the intense pain, Chu Heng couldn't help but feel happy as he looked at the gray plus sign on his attribute panel.

Player: Chu Heng

"Nice…"

Looking at his three "99" and then at the five seeds lying quietly in his space ring, Chu Heng clenched his fists and laughed.

Just as Chu Heng was about to dry himself and change into his combat uniform to walk out of the bathroom, he suddenly discovered something that surprised him.

Unknowingly, the number of Space Ring Fragments in his hand had reached 11.

The upgrade conditions for the Level 2 Space Ring in his hand were: Space Ring Fragment * 10, Crystal Core * 30.

This also meant that he could upgrade his space ring to LV3 and unlock the vehicle space.

Chu Heng did not hesitate at all.

The next moment, a silver ring appeared in his hand.

Ding! You have lost Space Ring Fragment * 10, Crystal Core * 30!

Ding! Your space ring has been upgraded to Level 3. Storage space +20. Current storage space * 50, low-level vehicle storage space * 1.

Can be upgraded to Level 4 with Space Ring Fragment * 50, Crystal Core * 100. Storage space +30. Storage space of low-level vehicles +1.

"F*ck… Even the evil merchants don't dare to be so greedy…"

Chu Heng couldn't help but curse as he looked at the subsequent upgrade requirements.

To him, 100 Crystal Cores were still fine, but the need for Space Ring Fragments suddenly changed from 10 to 50.

50 fragments meant 50 players. Besides, this was only the requirement of LV4. Wasn't this forcing the players to kill each other?

Chu Heng was silent for a long time before letting out a long breath.

He didn't care what others did, but he was determined not to casually kill other players for the sake of leveling up his ring.

Except, of course, for those who had ill intentions toward him.

Well… there were also players from various countries who made him extremely disgusted and often provoked the Dragon Nation on Planet Earth.

After all, those who were not of the same race would definitely have different intentions.

Chu Heng was a vengeful person. He always had been!

If he encountered players from those stupid countries, it would be fine if their attitude was good, but if their attitude was bad… hehe…

Chu Heng could not help but sneer. Although he was not a nationalist, as a citizen of the Dragon Nation, he had a deep sense of national honor.

When he was on Planet Earth, every time he saw news of those stupid countries provoking the Dragon Nation, he felt angry. However, at that time, he could only rage helplessly.

But it was different now. In this world where strength reigned supreme, as long as he was strong enough, he no longer had to suppress his emotions and could do whatever he wanted. Moreover, no one could stop him.

"Boss… Are you done?"

Just as Chu Heng was thinking, Zhang Xiaodao's voice came from outside the bathroom.

Chu Heng came back to his senses and responded. Then, he wiped his face dry, changed into his combat uniform, and walked out.

Zhang Xiaodao was waiting in the living room. When he saw Chu Heng come out, he said respectfully,

"Boss, they've already cooked. Let me call you…"

Chu Heng glanced at him and could not help but feel strange.

When he had searched these four houses, he had already put away the food like rice. They had not searched the other rooms either. What did they cook with?

However, he did not think too much about it. He nodded at Zhang Xiaodao and found the room where the two women were.

As soon as he entered, Chu Heng smelled the fragrance of food in the hall.

"Yo… It smells so good…"

Chu Heng praised and followed the fragrance inside.

On the square table in the living room, a sumptuous meal was waiting for guests to taste it. Meng Yue and An Ya, who were wearing aprons, stood beside the table and stared blankly at the delicacies on the table, swallowing their saliva.

Seeing Meng Yue in an apron, Chu Heng was stunned.

"Meng Yue, I didn't expect you to know how to cook. And the food looks quite good!"

Chu Heng teased and sat down at the head of the table. After scanning the food on the table, his brows relaxed slightly.

There were five dishes: dumplings, fried fish, fried chicken, fried prawns, and fried drumsticks. In the apocalypse, it was already extremely rare to have a table full of meat.

According to the mysterious existence at the beginning of the game, the resources in this world had been restored to half a year after the apocalypse. In that case, ordinary food had long been spoiled.

Obviously, these were frozen foods that had been left in the freezer layer of the refrigerator and had been lucky enough to preserve.

An Ya and Meng Yue were jolted out of their reverie by Chu Heng's voice. When they thought about how Chu Heng had seen their coy looks, they couldn't help but blush.

Meng Yue quickly adjusted herself and said with a slightly red face.

"I liked to eat when I was young, so I begged my father to find someone to teach me how to cook. I know how to make some home-cooked dishes. Unfortunately, some condiments can't be used anymore. Otherwise, the taste would be better."

Chu Heng smiled indifferently, put a drumstick in his bowl, and said to the other three.

"Eat… What are you waiting for…"

Only then did the three of them sit down and start eating.

"It's quite delicious…" Chu Heng praised. However, he realized that the other three had completely ignored him and were all burying their heads in their food. He could not help but laugh.

Zhang Xiaodao was fine. At first, An Ya and Meng Yue could still maintain their ladylike demeanor and eat slowly, but after a while, they started wolfing down the food.

Eating five consecutive meals of bread was really too bitter for them.

Looking at the two of them, Zhang Xiaodao, who was sitting opposite them, was immediately puzzled.

Previously, he had thought that the two women were Chu Heng's 'close girlfriends', but now it was obvious that they were not.

With Chu Heng's methods, he naturally did not have to worry about food and drinks. If the two women had that kind of relationship with him, they shouldn't have been so hungry.

But even so, Zhang Xiaodao still kept reminding himself not to have any thoughts about them.

"Don't dig your own grave. Just because there's nothing now doesn't mean there won't be something later…"

Taking in their expressions, Chu Heng smiled thoughtfully. He put down his chopsticks and asked softly.

"But then again, where did you get the rice and ingredients…"

Hearing Chu Heng's words, Meng Yue was stunned for a moment. She looked at Zhang Xiaodao and said honestly.

"Brother Zhang gave them to me. He said that he just joined and wanted to make dinner to celebrate."

Chu Heng nodded and looked at Zhang Xiaodao.

According to Zhang Xiaodao's status in the original team, these things should be in Second Brother Qi's hands.

Before Chu Heng could ask, Zhang Xiaodao took the initiative to explain.

"These were all found by Second Brother Qi. His subordinates were all hooligans. I was the only one who could cook.

"In the beginning, just to be safe, he handed me the rice and ingredients to make before every meal. Later, he found it troublesome and simply left everything with me.

"Anyway, we lived in the same room. When I took things out, I did it under his nose. He was not afraid that I would do anything to them."

This did make sense. Chu Heng nodded. After thinking for a while, he took out an entire bag of rice and some ingredients from his backpack and handed them to Meng Yue.

"Since you can cook, I'll leave the responsibility of cooking to you, Little Chef Meng!"
