After the archive is damaged, I live in another world

And so on.

The Church of Evolution calls on all intelligent life to put aside their arrogance and humble themselves, not to regard themselves as the most intelligent beings in the world, but to look upon other races as equals, learn from and accept the strengths of other races.

In short, this is an organization that messes with itself.

What surprised Xu Mu was that this seemingly completely nonsense idea actually had a successful case -

At the end of the scripture, several stories about "genetically modified organisms" are listed, and to increase the persuasiveness, there are even "experiences" shared by them personally.

"..."

Xu Mu flipped through it casually.

First, they are not interested, second, they don’t want to try, and third, they don’t really believe it.

According to the canon, Pharos wanted to...

Get the genes of the "Devil King"?

How dare you think about it!

He closed the scripture and opened his diary.

Guta is a very strict man. Not only does he write every detail in his diary, but he also writes down his planned itinerary in his calendar.

This made things convenient for Xu Mu.

Xu Mu took a closer look and realized that his task, apart from cooking for the people here, was to persuade the captives to join the Evolution Cult, and the more he could win over, the better.

"October 17th. Sunny. Lord Farros has instructed me to act as a lobbyist, to persuade the twenty or so human captives who were recently captured, and to take charge of their daily needs... Alas, I'm just a cook. I've always stayed away from 'transformation evolution' with a mortality rate exceeding 70% and a disability rate approaching 90%. Why would I be asked to take on this kind of work?"

"But... this mission was conveyed by the Black Dress Commander herself. This is the first time she's spoken to me since the start of this operation. I must cherish this opportunity to get closer to her. Besides, I'm the only unmodified human here, and my appearance is no different from that of an ordinary person. This might be why Lord Farrows chose me. PS: Black Dress smells so good. I shot ten rounds today."

This diary basically ends here.

The rest of the content was uninteresting, so Xu Mu carefully studied the schedule.

【At four in the morning, I went to the kitchen to cook. 】

【At nine o'clock in the morning, I go to the kitchen to cook. 】

[At 1 p.m., I will deliver a meal to the prisoners. This is the only meal I'll deliver once a day.]

[At 3 p.m., I go to the kitchen to cook. I prepare the ingredients for tomorrow.]

【At 8pm, I shower and go to bed.】

Okay, perfect.

so.

Serious people really shouldn't keep diaries.

Look at this old man Guta, he wrote so clearly and concisely, but wasn't he exploited by bad people with ulterior motives?

Xu Mu looked up at the clock and found that it was a little after two in the afternoon.

Um--

Where is the kitchen?

Xu Mu opened the door, walked out, and walked around.

Soon, he saw a restaurant at the end of the corridor.

He followed the traces of activity left in the corridor for a while and soon found the location of the kitchen.

really.

The cooks' quarters are next to the kitchen.

Chapter 70 #070 Your skills have improved!

Brother Guta is a very down-to-earth person. He left the daily menu in the kitchen. Xu Mu took a look and knew that today's dinner was "West Country Style Steak", "Traveler's Noodles" and "Coastal Salad".

"..."

What are these?

The kitchen chopping board was piled with processed ingredients. Xu Mu took a quick look and found cut steaks, mixed flour, and washed vegetables.

But how to turn these ingredients into food...

I really have no idea.

What a pity!

At best, Xu Mu can make instant noodles, and at most he can add a poached egg. He really can't do anything else.

His three meals were prepared by the elves, and he could cook them like a jerk.

"blunt!"

"blunt!"

Xu Mu held the kitchen knife in his hand and chopped on the chopping board intermittently, making a dull sound.

At this moment, he had the idea of ​​just fighting his way out without thinking twice -

With his current abilities, this is not impossible.

The survival and combat capabilities of the Hades Warrior are quite abnormal. If the opponent is not familiar with his abilities, it will be very difficult to kill him completely.

If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Mu can escape by using "Dark Rebirth" at most, and the possibility of sudden death is not high.

but……

There are two main reasons why you can't escape immediately.

First, Xu Mu still doesn’t know the enemy’s specific strength.

The extremely evil Fallows is notorious and can be said to be a superstar in the criminal world. Saying that he has no fighting ability and cannot threaten Xu Mu is probably deceiving himself.

What's more, there are centaurs, kobolds, and sirens here - does this look like an ordinary criminal gang? With this kind of configuration, Xu Mu would believe that they want to seize power and overthrow the country;

Second, Xu Mu didn’t know how to get out.

The Demon King's Palace cannot be escaped by teleportation magic by default, and there is no "escape point" like in ordinary mazes. This Demon King's Palace is abandoned. It may be possible to leave using the "escape device", but the escape point still does not exist -

To be more precise, it is hidden.

Only insiders know where the separation point is.

If Xu Mu knew exactly how to leave here, there would be no need to hesitate, just rush in and be done with it.

Now I don’t even know how to leave. I can’t escape from their Five Finger Mountain no matter how hard I try. So what’s the point of running away?

Thinking about it...

"blunt!"

Xu Mu dropped his kitchen knife and thought to himself, "It's best to delay."

First of all, it needs to be made clear that the reason why Fallows and others kidnapped Xu Mu was to prevent Xu Mu from opening the door. They were afraid of the encirclement and suppression by the Free City.

Secondly, the Free Cities will not give up.

Xu Mu and Hai Di were both captured, and the people outside might not be able to open the door for a while, but they would definitely find a way to transfer brave men from elsewhere to help open the door.

At that time, the troops entering the abandoned Demon King's Palace would be an unbearable burden for Faros and others.

As long as Xu Mu could survive until that time, he wouldn't even need to have a conflict with others to escape.

then.

Before Xu Mu was abducted, a "First Rescue Team" from the Free City had entered the abandoned Demon King's Palace. They looked well-equipped and powerful, and they might be able to cause some trouble, giving Xu Mu a chance to escape.

At last.

Ingredients need to be replenished. Xu Mu looked at the diary and found that in addition to cooking, Guta also has a purchasing task.

The last time I went out to purchase supplies was ten days ago, and I brought back half a month's worth of supplies.

If "he" is allowed to go for the next purchase, Xu Mu will have the best opportunity to escape.

All in all, one sentence.

"Armed conflict is always the last resort. I only fear top-tier experts. Any random person can't stop me. Breaking out after being exposed won't make the situation any worse. For now, I'd better stay hidden and get to know the surrounding terrain and enemy deployments. Maybe I can even serve as a guide and create favorable conditions for Captain Nanasha and the others to attack."

Ugh!

Thinking of this, Xu Mu temporarily gave up the idea of ​​escaping and began to study how to fry steak.

……

……

Things in this world are always easier said than done.

Xu Mu lit the firewood, poured cooking oil into the pot, and spread the cut steak on top. He didn't know what seasoning to add or how to tell it was done, so he just went by feel.

Things in this world always seem unfamiliar the first time but familiar the second time.

After scorching more than a dozen steaks, Xu Mu's proficiency gradually improved. He could fry steaks with ease. Although I don't know how they tasted, they looked good.

As for the traveler's noodle stew——

Don't know what that is.

I don’t know what to do either.

Xu Mu followed the method of making dried noodles and put the basket of noodles on the chopping board into the big pot. He also threw in a few baskets of green leafy vegetables and a few bags of salt as he pleased, and then took them out and put them in a bucket.

Ok.

Like swill, it doesn't look like food for humans;

Coastal salad, that's even simpler.

Anyway, just cut the vegetables in front of you, put them on a plate, and then squeeze some sauce on them.

After finishing this set of work, it was already past five in the afternoon.

"Guta! You loser, where's today's meal?"

A rude shout exploded at the door.

Bang!

The kitchen door was kicked open, and three men stormed in aggressively, cursing profusely, "Where's the meal? Damn it! You weren't there for the battle, and now you don't even serve the meal on time? As a fellow human, I'm ashamed of you! You, a jerk, still want to win the favor of the leader in black skirts? Bah!"

"..."

Who is it?

So angry.

The other man spoke in a sarcastic tone: "Guta, let me tell you - we brothers still have to patrol tonight. The lady in the black skirt said that other adventurers have come in! If anything goes wrong because of you - hehe!"

Xu Mu didn't dare to look up. He stood cautiously in the steaming heat, his back to the three people, and said in a low voice, "Alright! Alright! We're having steak today. It took a while to prepare..."

"steak?"

The three men picked up the steak from the plate and took a bite——

"Ugh?! What is this?"

“Burnt!”

"I'm raw... Hey Guta, what did you do?!"

"..."

What can I do?

I didn't do anything.

Xu Mu still had his back to them and said, "Just make do with it. It's good to have it. Um... the kitchen is a restricted area. If you're not a staff member, don't come in. Wait outside."

"brute!"

Among the three-person gang, one person seemed to have a very bad temper.

Hearing Xu Mu's tone and seeing how bad the food quality was, he was furious.
