68

He Zhiqing smiled as she filled another box and handed it to Bai Xiaowen.

"Xiaowen, a treasure meat dish made with the same ingredients will only increase attributes the first time you eat it," Li Shuyi said in a low voice as he sipped the soup. "No matter how much soup you drink, it won't increase your attributes."

Bai Xiaowen looked at Old Monster. The way he drank the soup was very calm. He slowly savored the taste of the treasure meat soup, and the expression on his face didn't seem to change much.

Old Monster seemed to notice Bai Xiaowen's gaze. He calmly added, "Miss, you missed one point. Whether the treasure meat dish can increase attributes is also related to the awakened's level. For example, I'm a Level 7 awakened. If I taste the treasure meat of a Level 1 Elite Mutant Dog, it won't increase my attributes. It will only increase my HP recovery speed by 2% temporarily. It's better than nothing. "

Old Monster didn't know how many high-level Elite Mutant Beast treasure meat dishes he had eaten. A bowl of mutant dog treasure meat soup was delicious for Bai Xiaowen, but it was only okay for him.

"Sister He, Brother Feng, don't just watch. Drink the soup!" Bai Xiaowen said.

Delicacies should be shared together. In another time and space, Bai Xiaowen was a big foodie. The moment before the meteor hit, he was planning to have a midnight snack.

Driver Feng Kui and assistant He Zhiqing also served the soup after thanking Bai Xiaowen. For ordinary people, it wasn't easy to taste treasure meat.

"Sister He, how did you learn to cook treasure meat?" Bai Xiaowen asked.

He Zhiqing smiled softly and had the charm of a young woman. "I majored in psionic cuisine in university and got a Level 2 psionic chef certificate."

"You taught cooking in university?" Bai Xiaowen was slightly stunned. It was really an eye-opener.

He Zhiqing pursed her lips and smiled. "Mr. Bai, don't underestimate the psionic cuisine course. Different Elite Mutant Beasts have different ingredients and cooking methods. Some ingredients can be poisonous if not handled well."

Li Shuyi interrupted, "Assistant He is right. To be able to obtain a Level 2 Spiritual Chef Certificate, one could be considered an elite in the industry. Xiaowen, the enhanced recipes we usually eat are all made by spiritual chefs. Their skills are even worse than Assistant He's. "

Bai Xiaowen gained a deeper understanding of Earth's society in the spirit energy era.

The Awakened were the most important class. They were equivalent to the backbone of Earth's society, the bones that supported civilization!

Pharmacists, spirit energy chefs, network engineers, researchers of spirit energy technology … Ordinary people from all walks of life made up the important flesh and blood of the civilization of the spirit energy era.

Without the Awakened, society would be like a mollusk without bones, unable to resist the invasion of mutated beasts and spirit world creatures.

If there were no ordinary people in various industries, society and civilization would be nothing but an empty skeleton. The life of an awakened will lose a lot of color, reduce a lot of fun, and become boring.

Moreover, due to their worldwide fame, the awakened ones also hoped to maintain a good image among ordinary people. Although notoriety could increase one's reputation, it was ultimately not the right path. It was easy to be boycotted by the masses and even banned by the government.

Therefore, most of the awakened ones would not be particularly arrogant when facing ordinary people. Even if they could not treat them as equals, they would not be overbearing.

It took a lot of time to kill Gang Ya and cook the Treasure Meat Soup. Seeing that it was getting late, the group did not continue to sweep through the wilderness. Instead, they drove directly to Supply Station 68.

Supply Station 68 was actually a steel bunker built by the military. A squad of six soldiers was stationed there. In addition to providing supplies for the awakened ones who wandered the wilderness, the supply station was also responsible for scouting the enemy and issuing beast tide warnings.

Although these six soldiers were not awakened ones, they were rooted in the wilderness and had the courage to warn the people of the base city. This made many awakened ones respect them. Once they encountered a large-scale beast tide, no matter how sturdy the supply station was, it would be useless. Only death would await them.

After filling up the off-road vehicle at the supply station, Bai Xiaowen also emptied the storage space and consigned the mutant dog's corpse back to the base city.

While refueling, Bai Xiaowen and the others met the supply station's squad leader, Duan Jinzhu.

Old Yao and him knew each other, so they greeted each other and introduced each other. After hearing Bai Xiaowen's identity as a hero, Duan Jinzhu's eyes showed a trace of surprise and attentiveness.

"Nothing unusual has happened in Wilderness 68 recently, right?" Old Yao asked.

Duan Jinzhu nodded and said, "It's normal. According to the monitoring, there are no signs of a large-scale gathering of mutant beasts nearby. Mr. Meng, didn't your team always go to areas above 100? Why did you come here this time? "

Old Yao said indifferently, "This is Bai Xiaowen's first time in the wilderness. Shu Yi is still not an awakened one. I received the President's commission to protect them. This time, I mainly focused on training them. Generally, I won't take action. Old Duan, are there any monster gathering points in this area suitable for newcomers to hone their skills? "

Duan Jinzhu smiled and said, "Wolf Valley is 10 kilometers north of here. A few kilometers northwest is a gathering point of spirit world creatures, the big-eared monsters. Both gathering points are suitable for newcomers to hone their skills. But be careful. This line hasn't been explored by an awakened one for several months. "

"Thanks." Old Yao nodded and said to Bai Xiaowen, "This line hasn't been explored by an awakened one for several months. It means that these two gathering points haven't been cleared yet. Of course, there's a certain degree of danger. What do you think? "

"Then let's go with this line."

Bai Xiaowen understood the bias in Old Yao's words. It was his first time in the wilderness, so of course, he had to listen to his old comrade's opinion.

After replenishing their supplies, the group drove north. After more than half an hour, they arrived at Wolf Valley.

The driver, Feng Kui, stopped the car in a secluded place. Bai Xiaowen, Li Shuyi, and Old Yao got out of the car and tiptoed toward the entrance of Wolf Valley.

"Hey, why is there a bloody smell?" Bai Xiaowen sniffed. Under the perception of his spirit power, Wolf Valley seemed to be quiet. There was no breath of living creatures.

After turning around the entrance of the valley, the three of them were stunned.

There was not a single wolf in the entire Wolf Valley. There were dark red bloodstains on the ground, and there were claw marks on the exposed rock walls. Occasionally, they could see the broken bodies of wild wolves.

"Strange. Didn't Squad Leader Duan say that this line hasn't been cleared? Could it be that a stronger mutant beast came here and ate all the wolves? "Li Shuyi said.

Old Yao wanted to say something but stopped. He silently watched Bai Xiaowen's reaction.

Bai Xiaowen touched his chin and said, "Let's search the valley and see if we can find any clues. Shuyi, you follow Uncle Old Yao. Be careful of traps. "

The three of them walked into the Wild Wolf Valley. The ground was covered with dried bloodstains, the embers of bonfires, and the bones that had been gnawed on.

"Xiaowen, there's an arrow here!" Li Shuyi shouted.
