"Can you cook?"

Drag the mutated ribbonfish arbitrarily next to the fire.

Klaus rarely showed a hint of pride.

"certainly,"

"Lina always says that my cooking is the best in the world."

"Lina?" He raised an eyebrow casually.

"Yes," Klaus said gently, "my sister."

"She...she used to be a picky eater, but she never left any of the food I cooked."

[Wait, I have a bad feeling about this...]

[The recipes from Hans Cat Kingdom... um.]

[Upstairs, are you talking about potatoes with sausage, sausage with potatoes, or sausage with mashed potatoes?]

[And don't forget the pickled cabbage!]

He nodded, seemingly oblivious.

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Klaus took the fish very seriously, first carefully cutting the fish meat into neat pieces, and then skewering them with a sharpened wooden stick.

"It's a pity there are no pickles," he muttered as he skewered the fish.

"It would be perfect if it had pickles and potatoes."

He paused for a moment in any movement.

Pickled cucumbers?

"And breadcrumbs," Klaus added, "plus sour cream or mustard..."

sour cream?

Wasabi?

"We're at sea," Renyi couldn't help but remind him.

"I know,"

Klaus suddenly stopped, frowning in thought.

"No salt, no pepper, and no lemon juice."

"Then how do we remove the fishy smell?"

He remained silent for two seconds.

"...Just bake it."

Klaus sighed and put the fish skewers on the fire. "What a shame."

[Hahaha, this is hilarious!]

[Klaus: Life without pickles is incomplete!]

[I knew it! Hanscat-like people can't cook without those few ingredients!]

[Random: I'm starting to worry.]

I watched it for a while, still feeling uneasy, but something just seemed off.

This person has a very meticulous way of handling fish.

That meticulous attitude and the way he looked at the fish, as if they were industrial parts waiting to be processed...

Is this cooking?

What dishes do you usually cook at home?

"Beef stew with potatoes, sausage with potatoes, braised pork knuckle with sauerkraut, cod..."

Klaus answered while flipping the fish skewers.

"Lina's favorite dish is mashed potatoes with lots of onions and pickles..."

He nodded casually; he understood.

This isn't a problem with Klaus's cooking skills, it's a problem with the recipe.

Do you eat steamed fish?

"Steamed?" Klaus frowned. "Won't steamed fish have a very strong fishy smell?"

"You can use scallions and ginger to remove the fishy smell."

Klaus shook his head. "All I know is lemon."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "And pickled cucumbers too."

Any: "..."

The Dragon Kingdom's live stream room was in stitches.

[His expression is priceless!]

[He's questioning the meaning of life, hahaha!]

[Klaus: Pickles solve everything!]

Everything can be pickled.

Inside the command center, Zhang Guangwei was laughing so hard he couldn't stand up straight.

"It's better than starving." Li Shu couldn't help but chuckle.

Soon, the fish began to sizzle, and the oil dripping into the fire occasionally sparked.

The fish's surface turned a golden brown, and a simple, primal aroma filled the air.

Klaus poked the fish with a stick to make sure it was cooked through, then handed one piece to anyone.

Although there were no seasonings

It also had a smoky, burnt smell.

But the freshly caught sea fish was incredibly delicious, its unique tenderness melting in the mouth, a true delight for Renyi who had been eating raw, hand-shredded meat all day.

Klaus couldn't wait to eat the fish in big bites.

He hadn't eaten a proper hot meal for days, and eating too many compressed biscuits made his mouth feel like it was chewing wood.

[┭┮﹏┭┮Coffin Bro got to eat something hot!]

[It's simple, but it looks delicious!]

Klaus seemed to enjoy his meal; it seems being hungry makes anything taste good.

[Upstairs, this is a mutated ribbonfish, an ingredient never seen even on Earth!]

The two quickly finished off most of the fish, and the remaining bones and skin were casually put into the coffin.

He clapped his hands casually, took four pieces of seagull meat from the warehouse, and hung them back on the railing to dry.

He then picked up a fishing hook, hooked a small piece of fresh meat on it, and threw it into the sea.

Still fishing?

Klaus wiped his mouth, somewhat surprised.

"Hmm, fresh meat works well for catching mutant fish."

Arbitrary explanation: "My warehouse can't keep food fresh; seagull meat can only be kept for two days."

"Aren't you...tired?" Klaus asked, his expression complex.

From the moment I met this person until now, I've been risking my life, saving people, fishing... I haven't stopped for a moment.

"It's alright, I'm used to it."

[I suddenly feel a little sorry for the big shot...]

What exactly did he go through?

[Doctors sometimes work non-stop, so this level of intensity is probably normal?]

"We'll take turns resting, you go to sleep first."

Seeing that Renyi had already started fishing seriously, Klaus silently turned his back and felt the lingering warmth of the firelight.

"Then wake me up in a bit."

As the night deepened, I held the rope haphazardly, but my thoughts drifted.

He had just taken a breath when the rope in his hand suddenly became heavy.

They've taken the bait!

Pull the rope swiftly and freely, but strangely, this time it feels much heavier than before, yet there's not much struggle.

He stood up, stepped on the railing, and pulled the rope back up, finally dragging the thing out of the water—

A large crab.

"..."

[Hahaha, this is hilarious!]

[Is that all the commotion we've made?]

[Big Boss: I'm devastated.]

He casually smashed the crab to death and threw it into the coffin without any expression.

You have killed the crab.

It seems that not all organisms have evolutionary points.

The audience wasn't disappointed at all; in fact, they were in stitches.

[Crab: Where did I go wrong?]

[That's terrible, they didn't even give me an evolution point.]

[They've lost their prestige.]

I rebaited the fish and cast it back into the sea. Just as my eyelids were getting heavier, there was movement again.

This time it feels very light, but it doesn't feel like it's come off the hook—

A message in a bottle.

Renyi stared at the glass bottle with the cork stuck in it and fell silent.

[Holy crap! They actually managed to fish that out?!]

[Hahaha, I can't take it anymore! That guy's expression is priceless!]

[A fisherman will never go home empty-handed!]

I picked it up and shook it; there seemed to be something inside the bottle.

However, the fire had almost gone out, leaving only some glowing embers. It was so dark that you couldn't see anything at all.

"never mind......"

I casually stuffed the message in a bottle into the coffin, planning to study it tomorrow.

I also put the fishing hook away.

[Huh? Why isn't the expert fishing anymore?]

[I guess they felt they'd used up all their luck for the day.]

[Don't be silly, this is a typical day for a fisherman. You think he catches a ton of fish every day?]

I casually changed to a more comfortable position and closed my eyes.

After a few deep breaths, his breathing became long and even.
