Chapter 515: 514 Chapter Good Deeds, Good Returns

514 Chapter Good Deeds, Good Returns

The Dwarves began to pack up their belongings.

The surrounding players watched the scene with some curiosity.

However, the shop area showed no movement yet; it's likely they'll pack up only at the end.

Su Sheng naturally gave no explanation; idle as he was, Su Sheng simply walked out of the Dwarves' mine base.

The surrounding monsters were low level, and Su Sheng was naturally too lazy to grind; at his current level, defeating them would yield experience in the tens, maybe single digits… at most not exceeding three digits.

He checked the game time; it was still early…

There were roughly more than four hours left.

Idle as he was, perhaps he could return to Zhu Que City's base and farm materials.

But…

Traveling from Zhu Que City to the base takes nearly three hours, so going back now seems pointless.

Forget it…

Might as well stroll around here.

After exiting the mine, Su Sheng had no mount and switched to a more low‑key outfit, so none of the nearby players noticed him.

After all, Su Sheng didn't want his every move watched by everyone.

Although the current Yanhuang isn't afraid of players coming to cause trouble, it's still better to avoid extra hassle; safely escorting the Dwarves to the base is the best.

That would naturally be the best outcome.

However, the surrounding scenery seemed to have nothing worth seeing.

This place was originally an abandoned mine, and the surroundings were relatively desolate.

It's the Dwarves' camp that allows players to resupply here, bringing a bit of life.

After a stroll, he felt rather bored.

Fine, he'll train a secondary profession.

Idle as he was…

Su Sheng immediately pulled out his "pot, bowl, and pan," his Chef secondary profession, originally just to make traveling easier without having to return for food to fill his satiety.

Later, because of the Monkey Wine recipe, Su Sheng got excited, poured his energy into the secondary profession.

He then found it impossible to juggle; leveling the secondary profession wasn't easy and required a lot of time.

Su Sheng gradually set the secondary profession aside, returning to the original purpose of simply easing his satiety replenishment.

Although somewhat casual, Su Sheng's current secondary profession level was almost maxed.

A regular Chef could soon reach Intermediate Chef.

But the Monkey Wine recipe requires… a Senior Chef!

Even as an Intermediate Chef, Su Sheng still lacks a bit of experience after all this time; who knows how long a Senior Chef would take.

Anyway, so far the only player Su Sheng knows with a senior secondary profession title is his own mother… Senior Tailor.

Speaking of which, his mother has been generating quite a bit of income for Yanhuang lately.

The cloth bags that expand backpack capacity have become Yanhuang's exclusive business; his mother hardly upgrades anything now, spending every day stitching in the Main City.

Other secondary‑profession players have to source materials themselves, but behind his mother is the whole Yanhuang… materials? He's afraid they'll never run out…

Now Su Sheng spends some blue and green ingredients; he has a chance to cook food with attribute bonuses, though they're all mosquito‑leg attributes.

Moreover, the duration is too short.

However, when cooking food with added attributes, the secondary profession's experience spikes dramatically.

Sizzle~

Heat and a burst of aroma filled the air as Su Sheng cooked another plain white roast meat.

One has to admit, in this virtual‑real game, the scent is that realistic.

As the cooking finished, Su Sheng sensed something moving above his head.

Xiao Jia Huo scratched with its claws, poked its head out from atop Su Sheng, staring at the roast meat.

"Here you go~." Su Sheng wasn't stingy; it was just a white food.

Although Xiao Jia Huo had no satiety, it was "mouth‑craving."

Perhaps for added realism, Xiao Jia Huo also eats, and experiences the feeling of craving.

In any case, during this idle period, the white foods Su Sheng cooked all ended up in Xiao Jia Huo's stomach.

Magnetic Pull~

Then Su Sheng continued preparing food.

"Hello…"

At that moment, a greeting voice came from behind Su Sheng.

"Hm?" Su Sheng looked up, puzzled.

Two players, a man and a woman.

The man was a Warrior, the woman a Priest.

Neither had second‑class advancement yet; the one who greeted was the man, while the woman, standing farther away, hunched and looked timidly this way.

"Anything I can help with?"

Su Sheng was a bit confused—did they recognize him? Unlikely, since he was wearing a cloth armor hood covering his face, mainly a helmet, making Xiao Jia Huo uncomfortable lying down.

He was also in ordinary Leather Armor, no plate armor.

His nickname was hidden…

As for the Xiao Jia Huo on his head.

Heh…

Now in Zhuque City… or rather, all over Chasing Deer, you often see people with little milk cats on their heads.

Don't ask…

Asking just means you're a fan of Mo Wen Qianchen.

Su Sheng also admires those guys who can find feline pets.

"Uh… it's like this, we forgot to replenish food while leveling up, so our satiety is a bit low now, but there's no food shop in the dwarf camp here."

"My sister and I don't have cooking as our secondary profession either; I don't know if you could sell us some food, that way we wouldn't have to waste time going back to town to resupply," said the male player.

Su Sheng glanced at the two of them; indeed…

It's still quite far from Wutong Town, and players at their stage couldn't possibly have mounts.

"No problem."

Su Sheng grinned, thinking it was nothing serious.

Su Sheng took out some of the food he had cooked earlier; these things weren't worth much.

About one silver coin.

Su Sheng chose to give it as a gift, handing it to the male player in front of him.

If it's a gift, it's given directly without a trade, so Su Sheng's nickname wouldn't be exposed.

Siblings…

Su Sheng glanced at the somewhat timid girl in the distance.

"Ah, I feel embarrassed to accept this." The male player was taken aback.

"Let me trade you some game currency." The male player said.

"It's not worth much; just take it."

Su Sheng waved his hand, then continued cooking.

"Well… thanks." The male player, still perceptive, saw that Su Sheng didn't want to keep talking, so he silently took the food and left.

Watching the brother and sister leave, Su Sheng didn't mind, just considering it a good deed.

Oh ho~

Immediately after, another batch of food came out.

Perhaps good deeds are rewarded, for this turned out to be a blue food item; after eating it, besides satiety, it also grants an extra 100 points to the HP cap.

Lasting… 5 minutes.

Mosquito legs—better than nothing.

However, after this special food appeared, Su Sheng's secondary profession experience increased a bit, just enough to break through the threshold.

Su Sheng officially advanced from a novice cook to an intermediate cook.

Ding ding~

Just then, a private chat came through.

After Su Sheng opened it, he couldn't help but stare.

"????"
