Xing heard a ‘gurgle gurgle’ sound near his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t coming from him, but rather from Liu Muxue beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t someone with a particularly strong physique to begin with, and on top of that, she had just been through a battle, which had drained a great deal of her strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it was normal for her to be hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Cao Xing looking over, Liu Muxue’s pretty face turned red, and she buried her head deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, sorry…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing shook his head and said, “Saozi, let’s go inside first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s time to start cooking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Muxue nodded gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they entered the empty Lord’s Hut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To cook, one must first build the stove.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Cao Xing found a corner and then opened the [Construction] interface to start building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Do you want to consume materials: Stone*8, Wood*4, to build a level 1 simple stove?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few minutes, a simple stove made of stone appeared in front of Cao Xing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Stove: Level 1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Defense Value: 30]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Occupied Space: 1 square meter]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing then took out the initial equipment provided by the system from the Storage Box, [Big Black Pot (White)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t think it’s just a big black pot, but it could actually be broken down into two pieces of iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Cao Xing planned to make a pot of snake soup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this icy and snowy land, there was naturally no shortage of water sources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing just needed to go outside with a hammer, knock off some ice, bring it back and put it in the pot, where it soon melted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the water boiled, Cao Xing directly threw two palm-sized pieces of snake meat into the pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two pieces of snake meat were equal to 10 units of food supplies, which was quite luxurious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After contemplating for a moment, Cao Xing threw two more pieces of snake meat into the pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dozen minutes later, the rich aroma of the meat started to permeate the entire hut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Muxue, who was huddled to one side, couldn’t help but lift her head and swallow saliva as she gazed at the pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Saozi, it’s almost ready, just wait a little longer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Muxue, feeling embarrassed, lowered her head and responded softly, “Axing, let me handle the cooking in the future…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this, Cao Xing laughed and said, “In the future, you are going to be the Lord’s woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can we be the ones to do these tasks?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now we are short-handed, but once we recruit more forces, we won’t need to cook ourselves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Liu Muxue also revealed a gentle smile, “Axing, you understand so much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing shook his head, “It’s nothing, I just play a lot of games, that’s all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, the sky turned increasingly dim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature started to drop sharply as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the stove was lit, the temperature in the room had risen to -11°C.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, in the blink of an eye, it dropped back down to -16°C.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature outside was an astonishing -50°C.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The howling wind, like a bone-scraping knife, incessantly swept over the bodies of the Polar People.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these temperature conditions, even with a bonfire, work couldn’t continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless, later on, the bonfire was upgraded to an Energy Tower, then even in blizzard conditions, one could safely get through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Cao Xing saw several prompts appear on the territory interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Your territory building, the [Logging Factory], has been successfully constructed.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Your territory building, the [Market], has been successfully constructed.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Your territory building, the [Small Shelter], has been successfully constructed.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tasks he had entrusted to the four Polar People had all been completed before nightfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he went to the door of the Lord’s Hut and said, “Dazhuang, Erzhuang, you all can come and eat now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four Polar People swarmed into the Lord’s Hut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Yilena curled up and squeezed into the hut against the wooden walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lord’s Hut, which was a total of thirty square meters in area, became extremely crowded all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Muxue had already filled six wooden bowls with meat soup, which also contained melted snake meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eyes of the four Polar People gleamed, and their hands holding the bowls were shaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since Cao Xing hadn’t spoken, they didn’t dare make any presumptuous moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Cao Xing came to the stove and picked up one of the wooden bowls, saying, “Although we’ve only known each other for a day, I’m very satisfied with your performance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To reward you for your efforts, enjoy this pot of snake soup to your heart’s content.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, let’s enjoy the meal!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this instant, the four Polar People lifted the delicious soup in their hands, their saliva secreting crazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they shouted in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Praise the great Lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Praise the great Second Lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the words were uttered, the four Polar People drained the soup bowls in one gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sounds of “glug glug” filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, a look of bliss appeared on the faces of all four Polar People.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good heavens, I swear, this is the most delicious meal I’ve ever had in my life!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Erzhuang, me too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve never had such delicious soup in the underground.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, we must remember, all of this was bestowed upon us by the Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We must work hard to repay the Lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We are willing to go through fire and water for the Lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four Polar People were deeply moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A system prompt appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Your Territory Member: Dazhuang has tasted delicious snake soup, his Loyalty has increased, current Loyalty: 85.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Your Territory Member: Erzhuang has tasted delicious snake soup, his Loyalty has increased, current Loyalty: 80.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goodwill of the four Polar People skyrocketed, all over 80 points!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such high goodwill, basically, whatever Cao Xing asked them to do, they would do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing also noticed Yilena nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Hunger Level had dropped below 50.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yilena squinted her slender eyelids, constantly sticking out her tongue, seemingly also eager to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing approached Yilena and asked, “Yilena, do you want raw meat or cooked meat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yilena spat out her crimson tongue, “Raw meat, respected Lord.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing nodded, about to take out two pieces of snake meat from his backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a thought, Cao Xing put them back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he tossed two pieces of the newly harvested Wolf Meat to Yilena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yilena bit into it in one go and then swallowed it down directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Licking her lips, she smiled contentedly and said, “Thank you, Lord.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Your Territory Member: Yilena has tasted delicious Wolf Meat, her Loyalty has increased, current Loyalty: 71.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing noticed that Yilena’s Hunger Level had risen by 10 points, barely reaching 60.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wouldn’t do, as not reaching a full state for an extended period would also decrease Loyalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yilena was powerful, but likewise, she consumed more food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a moment, Cao Xing continued to feed her four more pieces of Wolf Meat, finally bringing her Hunger Value up to 80.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for your generosity, Lord.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing nodded; fortunately, this time, they’d hunted two Snow Wolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, with Yilena’s appetite, their food stores wouldn’t last them two days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, in Cao Xing’s hands, there was an even more powerful Recruitment Scroll: Frost Wolf Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could imagine that when the time came, feeding the two big eaters every day would require a staggering amount of food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Starting tomorrow, we’ll have to find a way to gather more food,” Cao Xing thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it was night, he couldn’t work or go out exploring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Cao Xing instructed Yilena and the four Polar People to return to their quarters to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they left, the Lord’s Hut became spacious again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Liu Muxue, she had to stay with Cao Xing until new quarters were built.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, Liu Muxue seemed a bit nervous; this appeared to be her first time sharing a room with a man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Cao Xing didn’t harbor any superfluous thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting in front of the fire, Cao Xing opened the system interface’s [Chat Channel].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to see how the other Survivors were faring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened the [World Channel], and a deluge of messages poured in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ɲονǥᴑ.ƈο\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Zixuan: “Cold!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So

me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujihara Ayako: “My husband has frozen to death, his body is so stiff and cold, sob sob
