Following that little episode, the work pace of Group A dropped instantly. Snow Egg and Maya, following Lin Wu's example, started rummaging through each new room, only beginning the demolition work if there was truly nothing to be found. The trio also boiled a pot of water with scrap wood to make tea, a convenience for drinking while reading. Unfortunately, after finishing all the books in 16 rooms across four floors, they did not find any more specialized books. Instead, they found two recipe cards for Horse Soul.
With the day's work over and a break in the thunderstorm, everyone returned to the base. A lot of food ingredients had been gathered today, so Horse Soul immediately went to the kitchen to get busy. Learning how to cook was just the first step; producing the dishes was the only way to increase one's maximum health by 1 point.
