In the dark underground dungeon, Kumoko looked at the various fruits stored in the system with despair.
According to the system, these fruits that were picked up for free could not be taken out of the game. Only the ingredients obtained through fighting could be brought to the real world, which made Kumoko very uncomfortable.
"Woo, woo, my fruit, my fruit!"
A big white spider rolled frantically on the ground.
She had worked hard for ten hours then decided to eat a bite of fruit when she was bored here, but now the fruit was gone? Who could stand this!
But soon, she regrouped, climbed up, and muttered, "The ingredients obtained after the battle can be taken away, that is to say!!!"
Kumoko thought of the 'seahorses' swimming in the underground magma. These seahorses had delicious meat and were not difficult to obtain. Could she catch all the seahorses here?
Maybe because of previous fierce hunting, the monsters in the magma were now very rare. But rare did not mean none; Kumoko had seen these 'seahorses' swimming in the depths of the magma before.
As a little spider, she didn't have complete fire resistance and couldn't swim in the magma. Additionally, it was too troublesome to climb up, so she had given up hunting these guys.
After all, these guys were far below her level, and it wasn't worth the effort to hunt them.
Although it was very difficult, in more than eight hours, Kumoko successfully caught the two innermost 'seahorses' that looked like loaches and snakes and successfully slaughtered them.
Looking at the two large portions of ingredients, Kumoko resisted the desire to receive them into the system. The full name of this ingredient was Elroe-Genuseven, which had a seahorse body with hands and feet.
As a mid-level wild monster, its overall strength was not weak, but it would run away when it encountered danger.
It could be said that Kumoko had exhausted all her skills to catch these two things, but then she thought of something.
She was still on credit when she went online. According to the system prompt, the scale-like things on this monster were very valuable, and the special organs could also be sold at a good price.
Her intuition told her that eating these would improve her strength. But when she thought of what the cat said and then thought that she only needed a little money to buy useless but delicious food in the Internet café.
So, she held back.
"For better food!"
From the beginning, she had to survive, and now she had the opportunity to enjoy a better life. Kumoko chose to delay gratification so she could enjoy better.
After the meat, scales, and various hard materials were divided, Kumoko received a notice of the opening of the Internet café.
"Welcome~"
When she first saw Kumoko, Takashima Yuuna was indeed shocked, but after getting familiar with her, she felt that this big Kumoko was a little cute.
"Well, I think these can be sold for money, please ask..."
Kumoko took out the 'seahorse' scales and some materials. Seeing this, Takashima Yuuna took it directly and began to introduce: "This scale has partial fire resistance. A complete scale is recycled for 10, and a hundred broken scales are collected for 10. There are five thousand broken temporary scales and nineteen complete scales, which are worth 20 in total, and the total value is 700. The rest of the materials are 270... Let's convert it into 300. The total is one thousand yuan."
Takashima Yuuna always remembered Liu Yuan's teachings. If customers sell something, try to make it up to an even number. After all, no matter how you sell it, the Internet café is still making a lot of money.
"Ahhh! Not even a little bit!"
Games and surfing the Internet cost nine hundred yuan yesterday. After selling today, it was only enough to pay off yesterday's bill and use it for two more hours today.
"Woo woo woo, I still have to buy on credit today, come on tomorrow me, work hard more!"
Kumoko was full of energy and decided to continue to work hard after returning today. Pay off the debt first, then buy games. When she has a certain amount of money in her hand, she must buy a box of iced Coke to drink.
Having set this small goal, Kumoko happily opened the game. When she found the chef cat with fresh ingredients, the chef cat was also stunned.
"I've never seen this meat... I've never seen it before! The meat is tender and has some fire elements. It seems that this prey has very few natural enemies, and it also lives in deserts or magma areas. Can you hunt such monsters?"
"Hehe, of course, what kind of dishes can be made with this?"
"Food with attribute resistance. With so much meat, I guess you can make a lot of dishes?"
Generally speaking, a monster has very little edible meat, but Kumoko got all usable meat, and the creature with this meat is unheard of and unseen.
According to the cat's common sense, the meat of creatures living in extreme environments should be very firm, and monsters in extreme environments fight fiercely to get food. But the meat it holds in its hand should come from a complete creature, and this creature does not have too many natural predators?
This is very unscientific. Are there monsters in this world that live in extreme environments with few natural predators?
But it doesn't matter. It's just a cat that makes cat food. It's done with good ingredients.
"Oh my god!"
Kumoko took the dish made by Chef Cat.
It was a very simple barbecue, but it could greatly and permanently improve her fire resistance?
The only drawback is that this dish can only permanently improve the attribute when it is used for the first time.
The second use can only improve the fire resistance once again within a certain period, and it cannot be stacked.
However, this is only just the effect of a barbecue.
The food made by Chef Cat is more than just barbecue.
Soup, fried meat, stir-fried vegetables—Chef Cat took out all his skills and made a total of seven dishes. Each dish can improve fire resistance when it is eaten for the first time.
The disadvantage is that although the dishes are different, the attribute of improving fire resistance within a time period is not stacked. Otherwise, she would be invincible.
"So many! So strong! Delicious!!!"
Kumoko felt that all her patience was worth it at this moment.
Stat improvement? This is not important.
After all, you can improve your attributes by eating monsters. There are still many monsters in the dungeon. If you eat them all, your attributes will definitely be greatly improved. But such delicious dishes are definitely not available in the dungeon.
What's more, this monster that can only provide experience points to her can actually give her a little bonus resistance at this time?
It's a great profit!
"Hehe! Although I haven't dealt with this monster before, the cooking concept is the same. If there are such special monster ingredients, please be sure to provide them to me, and I will definitely meet all your needs!"
For a chef, the biggest challenge is not to make the dishes delicious but to make the dishes delicious with ingredients that have never been seen before. Every ingredient that has never been seen before is a challenge for the chef.
As a mature chef, it is happy to accept this challenge.
