Chapter 146 - Advanced Cooking

It was past three o'clock in the afternoon, and he had at most two hours to go out, so he had to get ready quickly.

At night, the amount of radiation will increase sharply, and the strength of ghosts will also increase. Unless you want to seek death, no player will stay in the wild at night.

Chen Chen put on his equipment, took the base station that Li Wusong had given him to the observation tower, put down the things, and left the shelter from below.

When Li Wusong calculates the distance between them, he will send a message to himself directly at that time, and he will know the distance between himself and Zhang Chengyun in a short time.

Chen Chen is still wearing the mountain silver armor equipment, which is the most suitable armor for the time being. The strength of the hide of the third-level distortion beast has improved, but it is still much worse than the distortion iron.

The pangolin's scales and fur are very well combined, and there is no hindrance to its body movements, so this set of armor has not been replaced.

Between the pangolin armor and the clothes, there is a level three leather vest that has been deliberately thinned, with densely packed runes painted on it to suppress and resist ghosts.

Level 3 skins can be used to write runes repeatedly. After each expedition, Chen Chen only needs to go home and replace the consumed runes with the blood of deformed beasts. It is not a problem to use it more than ten times.

The other talismans were all made of paper, written in the blood of a third-level deformed beast, and the effect of resisting ghosts is very good.

Chen Chen tied Hanyue around his waist, held a hundred ghost banners in his hand, and released three ghosts to spread out to find the surrounding ghosts.

The Hundred Ghost Banner allowed the ghosts to move about 50 meters away, and spread out to 100 meters. Coupled with the induction of ghosts, ghosts within a range of 200 meters around Chen Chen could sense them.

This time, Chen Chen let go and ran at a very high speed, carrying out a carpet-like search with the ghosts.

This kind of search efficiency is much faster than that of drones. Within a few minutes of running, he encountered the first ghost, and directly released the tentacle ghost to pull it into the soul orb. The efficiency of refining ghosts while running was extremely high.

During the running process, he also often searched for supplies and collected some high-value items in his bag.

...

After searching for half an hour like this, eleven ghosts were caught, and after the sacrifice, the power of the Hundred Ghost Banner became stronger.

"The gray evil spirit swept by the Hundred Ghost Banners has turned towards black, and when the ghosts are subdued to fifty, they should all be black."

And Li Wusong's test results just came out. Zhang Chengyun was indeed very close to Chen Chen, only more than 70 kilometers away. The possibility of a ghost's nest near them instantly became infinite.

Chen Chen thought while eating the meat at hand, "The ghosts I just subdued should all be alone, wandering in the wild for a long time, many of them have no consciousness of attacking people, or the players' physical fitness is too strong, Yang They are too angry to attack, so they have been wandering outside."

"And after the accumulation of these days, the number of ghosts is already terrifying. Even if there is no such thing as a ghost nest, I should go out to clean it up from time to time."

In a short period of time, 28 ghosts had gathered in the Hundred Ghosts Banner, one of which was an evil ghost. If he faced off with the previous ghost team now, Chen Chen would easily win.

"Collect a lot every day, maybe in a few days I can use the Hundred Ghost Banners to fight against the ghost nest."

After some actions, Chen Chen's confidence also increased greatly. The Hundred Ghost Banner is indeed a reward item for the sixth round. This thing is too powerful!

After eating the meat in his hands, Chen Chen stood up and exhaled, jumped off the tree trunk and continued to search for ghosts.

This time the search area was much larger. If he continued to run back and forth like before, the ghost would probably move to another location during his absence, and the search efficiency would definitely be greatly reduced.

So this time Chen Chen redesigned the search plan. He divided the semicircle range of the previous search into a line every 45 degrees, drew four fan-shaped areas, and searched only one fan-shaped area at a time.

In this way, not only will there be almost no omissions, but you can also clearly observe which area has the most ghosts, and then continue searching along this direction, making it easier to find the direction where the ghost nest is.

The area of ​​the four areas is still very large, it took Chen Chen a full two hours to search these areas.

When the third area was searched, it was already dark, but the collection of ghosts in the four areas must be completed in the shortest time possible in one day, otherwise the distribution of ghosts will be messed up after a long time, and it will be very difficult at that time. It is difficult to use the previous data to estimate the direction of the ghost nest.

At that time, a sufficient number of ghosts had been collected in the Hundred Ghost Banner, and Chen Chen's combat power increased greatly. He searched the rest of the area cruelly, and then returned to the shelter in a straight line.

After returning to the shelter, he put his equipment and supplies in the hall, and asked the robot 001 to help organize them, while he himself went into the forging room, and after three hours of ironing, he finally completed all the orders.

It's easy to be irritable if there are too many things to do. Chen Chen finished handling the order so that he can concentrate on dealing with the ghost nest.

Afterwards, he took a shower, changed into loose clothes, and returned to the practice room to sit at the small table.

"In the last two hours, I refined a total of 61 ghosts, including 14 in the east, 13 in the southeast, 19 in the southwest, and 15 in the west, and one of them reached the level of evil spirits."

"So the ghost nest is very likely to be in the southwest direction of my shelter, and the more specific direction is uncertain. It can only be determined through tomorrow's search."

Chen Chen tapped the table lightly with his fingers, "Continuously running the Hundred Ghost Banner consumes a lot of attribute energy. After two and a half hours, it consumes a total of more than 150 square meters of energy. Tomorrow, at most, it will only I can search for five hours, no matter how much my own combat effectiveness and perception ability will be affected, I can’t take risks.”

According to the information about the ghost nest collected by Xiao Luo, the ghosts in the ghost nest are very powerful, and all the shelters scattered around it have been blackened one after another.

One of the players was extremely strong, and finally fell into the hands of the evil spirit.

"The strength of the ghosts in the ghost nest is immeasurable. So far, no area can reach the limit of the ghost nest. It seems that it is invincible and can easily eliminate players."

Then Chen Chen closed his eyes and felt it for a while, "I feel like I can practice the five-heart-to-heaven method again, and it will be saturated in a while."

Sending talismans and Tongyouyan are very useful, and the other two spells require higher mana. Chen Chen has made up his mind that he will spend as much time as possible to practice this skill in the future.

Ever since he discovered ghosts, Chen Chen has been paying attention to the things that deal with ghosts on the trading platform, and so far he has found a few good things.

He reached out and brushed over the small table, and one item after another appeared on the table.

These things are a copper coin sword, a rattle, and a gossip mirror.

These three items were obtained by other players after fighting against the beast tide. Among them, the copper coin sword can kill ghosts, and with Chen Chen's sharp gold power, its power can be raised to another level.

The rattle can deter all ghosts within a certain range and reduce their mobility.

Hanging the gossip mirror at the door can interfere with ghosts and keep them from approaching the shelter.

"Let's hang it directly on the window of the watchtower. This way the effect should be the best, and it will not be easily damaged by the abnormal beast."

In order to get these things, Chen Chen spent three catties of honey, and later promised that when they encountered ghosts that they couldn't deal with, they could ask Liu Ziping or Wen Baifei to solve them for them.

At this moment, Chen Chen took these three treasures in his hands, carefully studied and felt them, and found that these things actually have a very general ability to restrain ghosts.

However, these things do not conflict with the Hundred Ghost Banners, and they can be used together when fighting against the enemy, so Chen Chen bought them all.

Afterwards, Chen Chen began to practice the exercises, and he woke up automatically at half past ten. Then he took out the paper and pen, stained with the blood of the third-level abnormal beast, and began to draw symbols.

After obtaining the profession of wandering Taoist priest, Chen Chen can easily draw all kinds of talismans, and his skills are better than Tang Shan who has already drawn thousands of talismans.

After working until 11:30 in the evening, Chen Chen felt that his spirit had recovered a bit, so he meditated for another hour, and finally went to sleep on the bed.

Before solving this ghost nest crisis, Chen Chen didn't plan to do other things, so the time during the day was relatively sufficient, and the time for cultivation was limited, so he could only do it like this.

*****

"Master, there is a lot of fog today, and the visibility is about five meters. The temperature today is about -4 to -1 degrees. There was no abnormality inside or outside the shelter last night."

Xiao Luo's broadcast sounded on time, Chen Chen immediately got up to wash up, and then went to the restaurant to have dinner with Yuan Zai.

Although he now eats a lot every day, morning and evening are the only times he eats a large amount of food, and the rest of the food is done during work breaks.

Seeing Chen Chen approaching, Yuanzai couldn't wait to climb onto the dining chair, sat opposite Chen Chen, and ate the mountain of food in front of him in a serious manner.

Because vegetarian food is added to the daily meals, each person and bear eat more than before.

However, most of this was still borne by Yuanzai. Yuanzai had to eat more than 300 catties of food a day, most of which were vegetarian, and meat only accounted for a small part of it.

Chen Chen's diet has become more comprehensive, but he still mainly eats meat, which can greatly reduce his food intake, make him less hungry, and at the same time squeeze out more time to do other things.

Chen Chen knocked on the table and said to Yuanzai, "Hurry up and eat, we're going out early today."

When Chen Chen said this, he didn't feel ashamed at all. Originally, Yuanzai could always finish eating before him, but after he added a lot of vegetarian food to Yuanzai's food a few days ago, Yuanzai couldn't compare to Chen Chen.

It can be said that Yuanzai accepted what Chen Chen should have accepted, but in the end he was disgusted by Chen Chen.

Roar!

Yuanzai let out a low growl, and then his body grew rapidly. He pushed the chair aside, sat on the ground and started eating.

Chen Chen was shocked. He didn't expect Yuanzai to do this kind of operation, so he quickly started eating.

【Ding! Your digestive system and ability to eat are strengthened as a result of your long-term large and fast eating. The cook is upgraded to get the job of Big Eater. 】

【Big eater: As a big eater, you not only eat more but also eat faster, and the food you eat will be digested at an extremely fast speed. You have a better ability to absorb food than ordinary people, and you can use part of the nutrients to improve your attributes. When you are injured, these nutrients will speed up the healing of your injuries. 】

Chen Chen, who was biting a big mouthful of meat, was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he would get a new job at this time, and this newly evolved job was blue!

"In this way, my physique is a bit similar to that of a beast, and I can become stronger by eating and sleeping every day!"

Chen Chen glanced at Yuan Zai, "I never thought I'd follow your path."

Gudong~

A large mouthful of meat in his mouth was directly sent to his throat by his tongue and swallowed into his stomach. His throat and esophagus seemed to have been strengthened, and his ability to transport food was greatly enhanced.

"Very good, then let's try the effect of this profession."

When encountering new things and gaining new abilities, Chen Chen always wants to try. He likes the feeling of knowing more. If something is vague in his mind, he will feel very uncomfortable.

When ordering, I always want to order something that I have never eaten, even if it is not delicious, I don’t feel regretful. When buying anything, as long as there is an instruction manual, you must read it a little bit, and you can use it comfortably only after you understand it.

He likes to see the whole picture of things and then make overall analysis and make decisions.

To some extent, this is also the reason why he likes Go, even though he plays badly...

This time for breakfast, Chen Chen ate a total of 30 catties of meat, and he didn't stop until his stomach's digestion slowed down.

Touching the still flat abdomen, Chen Chen smiled, "Although the appetite has increased, after eating so much, I feel that my hunger resistance seems to have increased a bit, and these foods can support me not to eat for four hours! I finally don’t have to wake up hungry in the morning.”

Chen Chen was in a good mood. Looking at the attribute information, he found that there was no increase, and it was probably still in the process of conversion.

Afterwards, he put on his equipment and took Yuanzai into the field together.

Chen Chen released the ghost directly, and then went straight to the southwest.

In the process of running, he still released six ghosts to sense the same kind, and at the same time activated the natural induction to check the materials along the way.

This time Chen Chen took an S-shaped route. Although he was on his way, he also had the idea of ​​testing the number of ghosts. He ran all the way to the boundary where he searched yesterday, but he only found one ghost.

This shows that ghosts don't like to move very much. After he cleans up an area, the area can remain "clean" for a long time.

"I don't know if fierce ghosts and ghosts have IQs. If not, then I can also greatly delay the time for the other party to find themselves by cleaning up the surrounding area."

But if the ghost has a higher IQ, if Chen Chen does this, the other party can find this shelter faster, and then command all the ghosts to attack.

However, Chen Chen had no choice but to go further into the mountains of flames and step back into the bottomless abyss. He could only consume as many ghosts as possible to improve his strength. This was his best solution at present.

After reaching the edge of yesterday's search, Chen Chen divided four fan-shaped areas in the west half according to the previous method, and then continued to search forward.

...

Huh~

Chen Chen jumped off the tree trunk, put the five earthworks he had just obtained into the item space, and then patted Yuanzi's head, "Are you tired? Let's take a rest here, and then go search for the next fan."

He took out a piece of rhinoceros hide, spread it on the ground to keep out all kinds of poisonous insects, called Yuanzi to come up, and then took out the barbecue and ate it together.

After the break they hit the road again, the last of four planned sectors.

Through today's exploration, he can now confirm that the ghost nest is in the area from zero to sixty degrees west of his sanctuary. As the exploration continues, he will continue to find and narrow the scope of the ghost nest until he is sure.

Not long after this search, Chen Chen found an evil ghost, and he was overjoyed to directly use the talisman delivery method to drive two third-level talismans into the evil ghost's body.

"If you catch this one again, the number of evil spirits in the Hundred Ghost Banner will increase to five, and there will be a total of 93 ghosts including other ghosts. It won't be long before you can really get a hundred of them. It lives up to its name.”

The talisman penetrated into the ghost object, and the speed of this evil ghost immediately decreased greatly, and was soon dragged into the Hundred Ghost Banner by the four evil ghosts swarming up.

This is his current method of subduing ghosts. In order to preserve the combat power of ghosts as much as possible, he will not use a knife if he can.

"very good."

Chen Chen was about to refine the ghosts after they collected the Hundred Ghost Banners, but he felt the fear conveyed by the ghosts he searched in the distance, as if he had encountered a natural enemy.

Chen Chen instantly unfolded his natural perception and covered the front.

Then he was surprised to find a group of ghost squads coming from a distance. After a rough look, there were four evil ghosts just showing their bodies!

Merging chapters, I originally wanted to explode today, but fell asleep lying on the table while coding in the afternoon, and woke up feeling a little uncomfortable. It should be a cold, but I failed to explode.
