Chapter 50: Golden snake meat balls! Preparing to upgrade the territory!

【Golden Python】

【Quality】: Purple Excellent

【Level】: Level 6

Jiang Lan could feel that this Golden Python she had subdued was very strong. Although she couldn't see its specific three-dimensional attributes, she estimated that it wasn't far from Orange Shi Shi quality.

"If this Golden Python were encountered by other new lords, they would probably be dead for sure, right?"

Jiang Lan thought to herself. Her physique attribute was her weakness; being able to handle this Golden Python so easily by relying on close-quarters combat was entirely due to the territory's five-fold attribute boost.

After all, her own level was only Level 2. It was no wonder the Lord didn't let her go and seize that Shi Shi treasure chest yesterday.

It was still better to be cautious.

As the saying goes, one takes on the attributes of those one associates with. After being in contact with Yun Shen for just one day, Jiang Lan actually somewhat approved of his style of doing things.

Subsequently, Jiang Lan constructed a nano-knife, dug out the Golden Python's gallbladder, and extinguished its life.

【Your hero Jiang Lan killed the Golden Python. Gold-Pattern Whip (Excellent) ×1, Golden Python Spear (Excellent) ×1. Obtained Source Crystal ×5100, Soul Crystal ×850.】

"What's the situation?"

Yun Shen had just crawled up from his floor bedding and was still yawning when he suddenly received this notification sound.

"So many Soul Crystals, plus two pieces of Excellent equipment. It looks like a high-level wild monster!"

Yun Shen's mood improved instantly. Seeing such a great start right after waking up, how could he not be happy?

He glanced at his backpack and found that it was actually already full. He didn't see those two pieces of Excellent equipment, so he knew for sure that a wild monster had approached his territory last night and had been sniped by the two defensive towers.

"Wash up first, then get to work."

Since there was no toothpaste, toothbrush, or other toiletries, Yun Shen used a willow twig dipped in salt and drew a basin of water from the well to brush his teeth simply.

The well building could produce a certain share of water resources every day, which was quite convenient.

Soon, Yun Shen saw Jiang Lan return, dragging a Golden Python of unknown length.

"Lord, how should this Golden Python be disposed of?"

Yun Shen brushed the affix of the Golden Python's corpse and finally chose the purple 【Fresh and Tender Meat Quality】.

"Help me process it. Keep the good things like the snake skin and snake gallbladder. Cut off some of the snake meat and mince it; I'll fry snake meat balls for you all to eat in a while."

Although Yun Shen hadn't professionally studied culinary arts, he often went to the kitchen to help when he was at the orphanage. Compared to many young people, his cooking skills were actually already considered very good.

It was just that he had never come into contact with things like wolf meat, bear meat, or snake meat...

But by analogy, following the similar preparation methods of other meats, the taste definitely wouldn't be bad.

Yun Shen opened the trading house. He had forgotten to check it before going to sleep last night, and now he saw that there were quite a few more things.

He bought all kinds of seasonings. Yun Shen looked around and didn't see any building blueprints, feeling it was a bit of a pity.

On the other side, Jiang Lan had already very consciously constructed a set of kitchenware and a stove, and even helped start a fire.

Yun Shen minced the onion, stir-fried it with bear oil, and then scooped it out.

The bear oil was what he had rendered from the Earth Savage Bear yesterday. Besides that, there was also wolf oil, each with its own flavor.

The minced python meat was mixed with cornstarch, soy sauce, black pepper powder, salt, white sugar, and egg liquid until it became firm.

Because materials were limited, Yun Shen kept everything simple. He added oil to the pot and heated it to about sixty percent heat.

Then he placed the filling in his left hand, squeezed out the balls from the web between his thumb and index finger, and caught them with a spoon in his right hand before placing them into the pot.

Sizzle!

As soon as the meat balls entered the oil pot, they made the sound unique to deep-frying. The sound, combined with the gradually spreading fragrance, made one subconsciously feel hungry upon hearing it.

Jiang Lan had this thought at this moment, feeling that her stomach was suddenly hungry.

Even the Twelve Beauties of Jin Ling, who hadn't gotten up yet, were attracted by this fragrance that seemed capable of hooking souls, and they walked out of the thatched cottage after getting dressed.

"Golden Python paired with the 【Delicious Meat Quality】 affix—this meat is truly fragrant!"

Yun Shen exclaimed in admiration. He had only gone through simple processing, yet there was such a fragrance.

After they were fried until cooked, Yun Shen scooped out the fried snake meat balls, filtered the oil, and placed them in a large bowl.

Based on his experience from yesterday, he could refresh the affixes for these fried snake meat balls one by one.

But perhaps because they belonged to food, if he placed them in the same bowl and then refreshed the affix, it would be regarded as a single dish, and he would only need to refresh the affix once.

"Refresh!"

【Exquisite Plating】 (Green): The plating becomes more aesthetically pleasing; food quality remains unchanged.

【Delicious】 (Purple): Becomes even more delicious; food quality is upgraded to Orange Shi Shi.

【Exquisite Technique】 (Purple): Roasted by a professional; food quality is upgraded to Orange Shi Shi.

Having experience, Yun Shen chose 【Exquisite Technique】. The effect of this affix currently seemed better.

【Spirit Food】: Golden Snake Meat Balls

【Quality】: Orange Shi Shi

【Effect】: All attributes increased by 30%, Poison Immunity (Shi Shi), duration 6000s.

【Introduction】: A delicacy cooked by an Excellent-grade Spirit Chef, using the meat of a Golden Python. The meat quality is incomparably delicious. There are a total of fourteen balls; each ball can produce an effect after consumption. It is suggested not to divide a single ball into two portions.

【Affix】: Exquisite Technique (Purple) (1/1)

"The effect is not bad."

Shi Shi-grade Spirit Food is just right for the Twelve Beauties of Jin Ling.

Currently, there are only fourteen people in the territory, which is why Yun Shen only made fourteen balls.

Eating only the balls definitely wouldn't be enough, so Yun Shen also fried wolf meat steaks and took out some fruits that had already had affixes added.

"Thank you, Lord, for your painstaking hospitality!"

The Twelve Beauties of Jin Ling expressed their thanks one after another.

"We are all our own people, don't be polite, eat."

Yun Shen didn't have any airs. The ones who usually go out to fight to the death are the beauties in front of him. He has always been in charge of the territory; what's wrong with just cooking a meal?

This breakfast was quite greasy, but fortunately, there were fruits to cleanse the palate, which was not bad.

After everyone had finished eating, Yun Shen said, "In a while, you all go with Jiang Lan to get an Shi Shi treasure chest for me."

"We will obey the Lord's orders!"

The thirteen beauties set off. Their speed was not slow, and not long after, not even their shadows could be seen.

Yun Shen thought for a moment and decided not to cultivate for now.

"It's time to start refreshing!"

Yesterday afternoon, he had already prepared all the Excellent wood needed to upgrade to a Level 3 territory.

Now he only needed to prepare a sufficient quantity of Excellent stone, and he could proceed with the upgrade!

Yun Shen walked to the small hills piled up with stone materials and began to refresh the affixes for each stone, sighing.

"Sigh, you stones, if only you could be refreshed in batches like the snake meat balls, how good would that be?" ===== CHAPTER 52 =====
