CHAPTER 607: CHAPTER 439: BAI, THE WORLD’S 2ND PLAYER TO GET TIRED OF UNBOXING_2

Caspar: "What a charity! I’m impressed! Lin Yue, if you see the friend request notification, please accept it. The kid wants whiskey so much, and there’s alloy here. Spare some, will you?"

Leonel: "Don’t you think there are too many people in the group? Fifty thousand people, what’s that about? And it doesn’t seem to help much either?"

Lin Ming: "Our leader said that it’s to gather those who originally came from different refugee villages into one place, making it clearer."

Mueller: "I’m more concerned about these small groups. Each person is limited to no more than a hundred small groups... So, if I want, I could create a hundred groups with a hundred people each? This sounds kind of chaotic."

Leonel: "It’s not chaotic at all. I heard from a friend from Tang Country, she told me that in her dorm, four people have four groups, and there’s always one person absent in each group!"

Leonel: "Good grief, isn’t that chaotic? Do you guys have some kind of misunderstanding about chaos?"

Gomez: "Doesn’t anyone feel tense? The catastrophe is going to be announced tonight, how can you all still be so laid back like before? This world has already wiped out two-thirds of us!"

Lan Yi: "Hello, Boss Understands, if you’re nervous, go talk to your leader. Didn’t you see the system announcement? This cycle of catastrophe has changed from seven days to fifteen days, there are still ten days to go, why the rush? The emperor’s not anxious, why are the eunuchs?"

Alderfrick: "Exactly, instead of worrying, why not go check out the new ’Gate of Exploration’, open up some maps or something. Oh, our refugee village is on the ’Bewildering Plain’. If anyone is around, let’s not kill each other if we meet. Save your energy for the Lizardmen and beggars!"

Gomez: "It’s a quadruple catastrophe! Why aren’t you worried! We’re really done for this time! A quadruple catastrophe!"

...

Lin Yue closed the system panel and rubbed his eyes.

On the world channel, like before, there’s too much useless information and too little useful.

Although everyone was discussing the update, they seemed to lightly think there’s no big issue.

This was worlds apart from the initial tension during system updates when a catastrophe was imminent.

It was as if this quadruple catastrophe isn’t anything at all.

Everyone was more interested in the new things.

Especially the appearance of the "Gate of Exploration", which excited many people.

Some have already entered the Gate of Exploration like him and begun exploring the new map.

Is this a good or bad thing?

Lin Yue found himself unable to say.

Of the upcoming four catastrophes, there’s one he’s almost certain of.

That is the disaster caused by the change in oxygen concentration due to rapidly growing plants causing a dramatic drop in temperature.

Nearing two meters in height, how tall will this wild grass be on the Day of Catastrophe, which is the fiftieth day of the apocalypse calendar?

The enormous amount of oxygen they release will bring an unprecedented cold to the entire Otherworld.

The cold during the first catastrophe was not actually very cold.

The shelter covered in snow could be easily managed as long as it was kept warm.

But if the world cools down to a certain degree like during the late Devonian extinction...

Lin Yue shook his head.

He took out iron skewers, threading them through pre-marinated chunks of donkey-headed lion meat, making fifty skewers, then placing them on a rack over the charcoal, while continuing to skewer the remaining pieces.

As drops of fat roasted out, a unique aroma wafted through the air.

Bai, who was opening treasure chests, looked up, sped up upon seeing the master grilling meat.

For some reason, it felt a sense of boredom.

"Gawu~"

Bai shook its head, opening treasure chests was fun, and finding new, good items always delighted the master.

Why did it feel bored?

It vigorously shook its head again, it’s an illusion, an illusion.

A nimble claw opened another Silver Treasure Chest, it felt its arm was losing strength.

Is this why the master dislikes opening treasure chests?

Bai fell into deep contemplation.

Lin Yue continued to grill the skewers, slowly sprinkling salt and cumin over them, and added a generous amount of chili powder on half.

Bai doesn’t eat spicy, while Lin Yue loves it.

With enough ingredients, this allocation was optimal.

However, feeling a bit mischievous watching Bai seemingly bored from opening chests, Lin Yue added some chili flakes into its portion.

Eat it, little one.

No spice, no soul!

But, even Bai can get bored...

Otherwise, the dozing off look wouldn’t make sense.

Mind you, it’s opening the Silver Treasure Chest after all.

Lin Yue: "There’s still over fifty thousand Copper Treasure Chests waiting, Bai."

Lin Yue flipped the skewers, gave them a final look, sprinkled some more seasoning, then picked one up and took a bite!

"Mmm! This taste...it’s like a mix of lamb and beef with a hint of grassy aroma? This... it works!"

The multiple layers of flavors, combined with the onions and black pepper used in marination, plus the chili and cumin, transformed the meat completely!

Lin Yue devoured a skewer like a whirlwind and couldn’t get enough, so he had another!

After finishing three skewers, he finally took out a bottle of Kepac Cola!

"Bai, come here, stop opening for now, let’s eat, we’ll continue after we’re full!"

Lin Yue called over Bai, who was about to doze off, handed it a bunch of skewers, and poured two big glasses of cold cola, one for Bai and one for himself.

"Gawu..." Bai looked at the half-unopened chests, its voice filled with strange emotions.

Looking at the skewers and cola in its hands, they no longer seemed appealing.

"Take your time, I have this moment too. Seems you’ve understood my struggle, after this, maybe we let Xiao Meng endure this pain next time?" Lin Yue suggested beside it.

"Gawu." Bai originally wanted to bear it all, but realising that opening chests gradually turned into a painful task, an evil thought to pass this pain onto others emerged in its mind.

"Alright, eat up!" Lin Yue began grilling the second round of a hundred skewers, the previous ones were placed into storage space.

I must say, the meat quality of the donkey-headed lion isn’t bad, neither tough nor fatty, without any peculiar taste, quite refreshing to eat.

If there’s a downside, it’s that this creature seems to have too many innards, too little meat.

One yielding only 30 kilograms of meat, nearly like a mutant sheep.

"We’ll need to hunt more next time, to share with Xiao Meng and other Little Ice Lizards as well, this amount is far from sufficient."

Ribs don’t have much meat, and the innards, I could ask other survivors, considering some have heavy tastes.

Lin Yue wasn’t fond of them, handling them can be quite effort-intensive.

Before coming to the Otherworld, he had visited the imperial capital.

The imperial capital had an odd snack called Braised Boiled Bread.

Braised Boiled Bread uses various innards, boiled and served with bread, fried tofu, and boiled together, chopped when eating, served with soup and toppings, ready to eat.

That taste, well...

Lin Yue could accept it, but could hardly call it a favourite.

So, after coming here, he didn’t handle the innards of mutant sheep, trading them with others for materials instead.

"By the way, these donkey-headed lions... seem somewhat different from mutant sheep? They could actually be driven and used by those wolf-headed men..."

Lin Yue suddenly remembered the recent battle.

It seems the number of incomprehensible things here is growing...
