At this time, a 'gurgling' sound appeared in Cao Xing's ears.
It wasn't sent by him, but by Liu Muxue next to him.
She was not a strong person to begin with, and she had just been through a battle, which consumed a lot of her energy.
It's normal to feel hungry.
Seeing Cao Xing's gaze, Liu Muxue's pretty face turned red and she buried her head deeply.
"No, sorry..."
Cao Xing shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go in first. We need to prepare dinner."
Liu Muxue nodded slightly.
Then they went into the empty lord's hut.
If you want to cook, you must first build the stove.
So, Cao Xing directly found a corner, then clicked on the [Building] interface and started construction.
[Whether to consume materials: 8 stones, 4 woods, to build a level 1 simple stove. ]
"yes."
Cao Xing began to build according to the sketch given by the system.
After a few minutes, a simple stove made of stones appeared in front of Cao Xing.
[Stove: Level 1]
[Defense value: 30]
[Area: 1 square meter]
Cao Xing took out the initial equipment given by the system from the storage box, [Big Black Pot (White)]
Don't underestimate this big black pot. If you decompose it, it can be decomposed into two pieces of iron.
This time, Cao Xing planned to make a pot of snake soup first.
In this icy and snowy place, there is naturally no shortage of water.
Cao Xing only needs to go outside, knock some ice cubes back with a hammer, put them in the pot, and they will melt in a short while.
After the water boiled, Cao Xing threw two palm-sized pieces of snake meat directly into the pot.
These two pieces of snake meat are equivalent to 10 pieces of food, which is quite luxurious.
After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing threw in two more pieces of snake meat.
Ten minutes later, the rich aroma of meat began to fill the entire cabin.
Liu Muxue, who was huddled aside, couldn't help but raise her head, looked into the pot and swallowed.
"Sister-in-law, it's almost done, wait a moment."
Liu Muxue lowered her head in embarrassment and replied softly: "Axing, let me take care of the cooking from now on..."
Cao Xing laughed and said, "You will become the lord's woman in the future. How can we do these things?"
"We are short of manpower now. When we recruit more soldiers, we won't need to cook anymore."
After hearing this, Liu Muxue also smiled gently, "Axing, you really know a lot."
Cao Xing shook his head. "Nothing much. I just play a lot of games."
It was getting darker outside.
The temperature also began to drop sharply.
After lighting the stove, the temperature in the room had risen to -11℃.
And now, it has dropped to -16℃ in the blink of an eye.
The outdoor temperature reached an astonishing -50℃.
The cold wind howled, like a bone scraper constantly scraping across the bodies of the polar people.
At this temperature, even with a bonfire, it is impossible to work.
Unless we upgrade the campfire into an energy tower in the future, we will be able to survive a blizzard safely.
At this time, Cao Xing saw several prompts appearing on the territory interface.
[Your territory building [Lumber Mill] has been successfully built.]
[Your territory building [Market] has been successfully built.]
[Your territory building [Small Shelter] has been successfully built.]
Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
The work he assigned to the four polar men was finally completed before dark.
So, he walked to the door of the lord's hut and said, "Da Zhuang, Er Zhuang, you can all come over for dinner."
The four polar men swarmed into the lord's cabin.
Even Ilena curled up her body and crawled in along the wall of the wooden house.
The lord's hut only had 30 square meters of space, and it became very crowded in an instant.
Liu Muxue had already filled six wooden bowls with broth, with some melted snake meat floating in it.
The four polar men's eyes lit up, and their hands holding the wooden bowls were shaking constantly.
But because Cao Xing didn't say anything, they didn't dare to do anything beyond the limit.
At this time, Cao Xing came to the stove, picked up one of the wooden bowls and said, "Although today is only the first day for everyone to get along, I am very satisfied with your performance!"
"To reward you for your hard work, you can enjoy this pot of snake soup."
"Well, let's start enjoying the food!"
At this moment, the four polar people raised the delicious broth in their hands, drooling wildly.
Then they shouted at the same time.
"Praise the great lord!"
"Praise the great Second Lord!"
After saying that, the four polar men drank up the broth in one gulp.
A "gurgling" sound was heard.
After a moment, the four polar men showed happy expressions on their faces.
"Oh my god, I swear, this is the most delicious meal I have ever had in my life!"
"Er Zhuang, me too! I've never tasted such delicious broth underground."
"Everyone, we must remember that all of this is given by our Lord. We must work hard and give back to our Lord!"
"I am willing to go through fire and water for my lord!"
The four polar people were deeply moved.
A system prompt appears.
[Your territory member: Da Zhuang tasted the delicious snake soup and his loyalty to you has increased. Current loyalty: 85.]
[Your territory member: Er Zhuang tasted the delicious snake soup and his loyalty to you has increased. Current loyalty: 80.]
…
The favorability of the four polar people soared, all reaching more than 80 points!
Under this favorability, they would basically do whatever Cao Xing asked them to do.
Cao Xing also noticed Ilena next to him.
Her hunger level has dropped below 50.
Ilena narrowed her eyes and kept spitting out tongue, as if she was also very eager to eat.
Cao Xing came to Ilena and asked, "Ilena, do you eat raw or cooked meat?"
Ilena spit out a scarlet tongue and said, "Eat raw meat, my dear lord."
Cao Xing nodded, and he was just about to take out two pieces of snake meat from his backpack.
After thinking about it, Cao Xing let it go again.
So he threw two pieces of wolf meat he had just harvested to Ilena.
Ilena bit it in one bite and swallowed it directly.
She licked her lips and said with a satisfied smile: "Thank you, Lord."
[Your territory member: Ilena has tasted the delicious wolf meat and her loyalty to you has increased. The current loyalty is 71.]
Cao Xing noticed that Ilena's hunger level had increased by 10 points and now only reached 60 points.
This won't work. Not being full for a long time will also reduce loyalty.
Ilena is very powerful, but at the same time, she consumes more food.
Cao Xing thought for a moment and continued to feed 4 pieces of wolf meat, raising Ilena's hunger value to 80.
"Thank you for your generosity, my Lord."
Cao Xing nodded. Fortunately, this time, they went out and hunted two snow wolves.
Otherwise, with Ilena's appetite, the stored food would not be enough to last them for two days.
Moreover, Cao Xing has an even more powerful recruitment scroll in his hand: Frostwolf Warrior.
It is conceivable that by then, the daily food consumption of two guys with big appetites will reach an astonishing number.
"Starting tomorrow, I have to find a way to collect more food." Cao Xing thought to himself.
Since it is night, there is no way to work or go out for exploration.
So, Cao Xing asked Ilena and the four polar people to return to their own residences to rest.
After they left, the lord's cottage became empty again.
As for Liu Muxue, she can only stay with Cao Xing until a new residence is built.
Liu Muxue seemed a little nervous at this moment. It seemed that this was her first time to be in the same room with a person of the opposite sex.
However, Cao Xing did not have any extra thoughts.
Sitting in front of the fire, Cao Xing clicked on the [Chat Channel] on the system interface.
He wanted to see how the other survivors were doing.
Open the [World Channel] and suddenly a flood of information comes.
Lin Zixuan: "It's cold! So cold! I'm almost freezing to death!"
Lawrence: "Oh my God! What kind of world is this? Our family has run out of food and the bonfire is about to go out. Who can come and save us?"
Andre: "Damn it! There's a monster outside the camp, and it bit me!"
Fujiwara Akiko: "My husband has frozen to death. His body is so stiff and cold. Woo woo woo..."
