People are collapsing iron, they say I am a greedy messenger

After witnessing the girl's terrifying strength, especially seeing that she did not attack him when she had the upper hand, Jeppard realized that they might have caught the wrong person - if she was really a villain, the other party would definitely take advantage of the good situation and pursue him.

Therefore, the tone of his speech was much calmer at this moment:

"And that blue-haired guy just now is a major criminal we're investigating... Although he hasn't committed serious crimes like murder or arson, he often steals and takes advantage of loopholes, and he does so with great frequency.

His crimes include but are not limited to selling sugar pills to the elderly, falsely claiming they are health products for longevity, selling modern imitations of so-called ancient relics to antique dealers... He even planted a time bomb in the toilet of a businessman's home at night after finding out his daily routine in order to retaliate against him.

Although the bomb was very small and did not cause any harm to the businessman...it left him with a serious psychological trauma, and he never used a squat toilet again.

Chapter 29: For Lunch, Dinner, and Tomorrow's Breakfast

The most important thing is that, because he is well-informed and has quite agile hands and feet, this guy has committed dozens of crimes but has never even been to jail so far, which is quite a headache for us.

When we saw you guys with him just now, we subconsciously thought you were his accomplices... After all, this area is almost assimilated by the Rift, and usually there aren't many decent civilians coming here, so..."

"Then you should at least ask a question."

March, who was beaten for no reason, is very angry now - the little pink-haired girl also has a temper!

"Yeah, yeah, he called without asking any questions, and that guy had already run away... Do you think we could be in cahoots with him?"

Xing was also quite indignant - her bat hit Jeppard's helmet, and the opponent was so thick-skinned that he was not hurt, but she herself was so shocked that her palm was numb and her wrist was sore.

She had already decided that she would eat at least four more bowls of food when Yue Yan cooked next time - to make up for her wounded heart.

Yue Yan was too lazy to argue with a child - Jeppard was steady, but experience and knowledge can only be accumulated over time. People are not born with knowledge. He still has a long way to go and his mind is far from mature enough.

"I'm sorry, we Iron Guards usually arrest people first and then interrogate them."

There wasn't much apology on Jeppard's face - but everyone could see that this guy was trying very hard to apologize. He seemed to have a bit of facial paralysis, so he couldn't make any other expressions except serious.

"So, who are you guys?"

"We come from beyond Yalilo VI, ah, that's the name of the planet you're standing on, and we traveled here from another planet."

Although March was still very angry, they were an unknown guest after all and came to help. In addition, the other party did not mean it, so after hearing Jeppard's apology, his anger subsided a lot.

He casually took out a photo from the small bag he was carrying and handed it to the other party. The iron guards who had recovered a little and could walk also gathered around and looked at the scene in the photo curiously.

"This is……"

Jeppard seemed a little confused as to what the big white snowball in the photo was.

"I took this photo on the Starry Sky Train."

Xiao Sanyue explained:

"You can think of it as a spacecraft. This is your planet in the photo. Look carefully, you should see buildings on it... but I'm not sure you can recognize them... You should also have a normal astronomy program, right?"

Although there has been a huge technological gap, the Belobergs have not been knocked back to the primitive age by the star core. They still have the concept of celestial bodies such as planets and stars, and they remember the history of seven hundred years ago, so communication is not difficult.

While Sanyue and Danheng were busy giving them scientific knowledge, Yue Yan had left her chair without them knowing when.

She was attracted by a fragrance. The fragrance was not strong, but it piqued her interest.

It was different from the fate powers of preservation, knowledge, and destruction. It had the scent of imaginary numbers, the fragrance emanating from the creatures of the Rift, and the starting point of all fate powers, tempting the most instinctive desires in her body—the desire for energy and the craving for food.

"Hiss...it smells so good and is still warm."

Following the fragrance, she continued walking forward. After pulling aside a few dead bushes, Yue Yan wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth - she had already seen her target.

It was a humanoid creature from the Rift, wandering aimlessly on the frozen ground. Its body was burning with blazing flames, and its shape seemed to be imitating the Silvermane Iron Guard. It held a flaming battle axe similar to the Iron Guard, and its armor was neat, but it had no human parts - its head was crystal-like, and its facial features were replaced by a scorching red fire mask. Wherever it passed, ice and snow melted and dead trees burned.

The girl had seen through everything. Her eyes were good at distinguishing what was edible, what tasted bad, and what was completely inedible. The burning core in this guy's chest and his mask could both go into the pot... The core should be the most delicious.

But it doesn't seem to be an ordinary creation - it is taller and much bigger than the ones Yue Yan saw in the game. This is actually a very normal thing, because reality is not a game. The creations in the rift are basically different in length and height depending on the object of imitation, so they are generally similar.

But this thing seems a little too big... more than two meters tall, as tall as Yao Ming... can I beat him?

The girl fell into deep thought. Finally, after a moment's contemplation, she took out a package she had brought back from the Black Tower Space Station from her backpack. After opening it, she found some still hot and fragrant grilled skewers inside.

"Hey!"

……

Half a minute later, the tall flame creature fell unwillingly under the antimatter arrow. Yue Yan hooked it up with his giant bow, cut off its head, took out its core, and put it into his backpack. He discarded the remaining inedible body and muttered something that no one could understand:

"Although I am old, my arrows are still sharp!"

The three-meter-tall black Centaur beauty wearing heavy armor stood on the white snowfield, looking quite conspicuous. The giant bow in her hand, which normal humans could hardly use, was even more intimidating.

Unlike last time, she was very sober this time, without any discomfort of going crazy, but at the same time, her strength seemed to be much weaker. However, although she could not do the level of severely damaging the Doomsday Beast as shown in the surveillance video, it was enough to bully some rookies in the Territory Rift.

"But I always feel a little bit guilty about going back like this..."

The girl scratched her head and looked at the flat snowfield in front of her - she could feel that there were many great prey hidden in this place.

There is only one, and it is indeed not enough... That won't do. As the cook of the team, isn't it my dereliction of duty if I can't make sure the members are well fed?

"Well, let's go back after armor time is over, for lunch, dinner, and breakfast!"

So, the nimble men and horses drew their giant bows and galloped into the blizzard. In the next ten minutes, the sound of antimatter arrows exploding could be heard continuously on the snowy field, and along with the explosions came the painful roars of the monsters.

This is a hunt.

On the other hand, although everyone quickly realized that Yue Yan was missing, since she left a message in the group, no one was too worried - on this planet... or in the entire universe, there might not be many existences that could threaten Yue Yan's personal safety.

Sure enough, ten minutes later, Yue Yan came back with snow all over her head. It seemed that there were a lot of things in her backpack, and she walked in a halting manner.

"Where have you been? Without even saying hello."

Sanyueqi walked over and gently patted away the snowflakes stuck in the other person's hair.

"Hey, I went to get you some delicious food. It took me a lot of effort."

Yue Yan showed a beautiful smile: "Look."

Then he opened the backpack and threw it on the ground.

Red, blue, green, and gem-like crystals of various colors collided with each other and fell into the snow. The shining colors were quite eye-catching even in the blizzard, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

There are even three heads with rather strange shapes - but they are probably not human heads, with no facial features and no hair. The masks grow together with burning flames or ice chips, and are embedded in the places where the facial features originally belonged.

Chapter 30 Snowfield Rice Bowl

At this moment, Jeppard and the others' attention was also drawn to it. Having spent a long time defending their country in the Rift, they immediately recognized what the crystals and skulls on the ground were. One of the Iron Guards exclaimed in surprise:

"Aren't these things from creatures from the Rift? What are you doing with them? Making specimens? Are you a hunter?"

As soldiers, they naturally thought of collecting and making specimens, etc. Although they had never seen anyone hanging specimens of those strange creations at home, since they were aliens, maybe they really had some special hobbies?

Making specimens of creatures probably does fit the image of aliens in their minds.

However, the girl's answer was beyond their expectations.

"What? I'm not a hunter, I'm a cook. These things are for eating. I just tasted a few and they were delicious. They taste like mushrooms. Do you want to try some?"

Upon hearing this, Jeppard and the other guards' brains suddenly went blank.

……

"Let's have lunch here."

On a snowless patch beneath a sloping boulder, Yue Yan pulled out a pot, a simple kitchen set, a small bag of rice, and some spices and seasonings he'd brought with him. His comprehensive equipment stunned everyone...

As a cook, this is basic.

Xing scratched his head:

"Do we really want to eat here? We can get to the city in a little while."

"How can we have the energy to travel if we don't eat enough?"

Yue Yan never stopped working, cutting vegetables on the chopping board while speaking earnestly:

"Once we enter the city, that great guardian will definitely summon us. There will inevitably be a lot of polite conversation and things to discuss...

It will probably be two or three in the afternoon by the time we can eat, is that okay? Be good, it will be ready soon, just wait."

"Oh."

Danheng and Jeppard stood guard at the door together, while Xing and March 7 chose a place, sat down very obediently, and waited for the food to come out of the pot.

The first step is to steam the rice - this thing is difficult to cook, so you have to wait a little longer.

That is the unwashed rice produced in Xianzhou - it is not the same as protein rice, it is just normal rice and carbohydrates.

Boil a pot of water over high heat, add star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves and other spices, and cut the things that were dug out from the snow, I don’t know if they were potatoes, yams or carrots, into pieces of appropriate sizes and put them into the pot - this thing is indeed a bit hard, so it needs to be cooked for a while longer.

Those seven-hundred-year-old cans also came in handy—what's a lunch without meat? Especially in this icy and snowy weather, it's impossible to survive without some meat.

Yue Yan opened two cans of pork and set them aside - because it was cooked canned meat, it couldn't be put into the pot with the vegetables, otherwise it would easily become overcooked and turn into a thick soup.

Then came the highlight, the ingredients peeled off from the bodies of the Rift Creatures. When those pieces were almost cooked like vegetables, the masks of the heads were peeled off with the tip of a knife.

Yue Yan looked inside his head out of curiosity - there was nothing there, it was empty.

Head, empty.jpg

So, regretfully, he could only cut the two masks into thick slices of appropriate size and put them into the pot - the reason for two was because the other one was the mask of the Eternal Frozen Shadow, and that thing could not be cooked with hot food, as it might explode due to thermal expansion and contraction.

If you don't get to eat your meal and then splash hot soup on your face, it will not be worth it.

"Hmm... this stuff has a pretty high starch content. I was thinking of adding some thickener, but now it seems that's not necessary."

The girl took the time to take a look at the vegetables cooking in the soup pot - the soup was already very thick and milky white, which should be the result of those unfamiliar tubers.

She turned around and continued to process the cores - these gems were of different sizes and irregular shapes. Yue Yan had already eaten one raw as a yacon on the way back. It was crispy and sweet and tasted good.

Cut the flame core into thin slices like potato chips and set aside. When it is almost time to serve, add the two previously opened cans of pork, stir them together, cover them and simmer for a while, and let the flavor of the spices blend into the canned meat.

The canned food itself is very salty, and MSG is added... She tasted it with a small spoon, then added some white pepper and a little bit of salt.

Just before serving, add the previously sliced core into the pot - the taste of this thing is similar to that of green leafy vegetables, and it can be eaten after being slightly blanched. If it is cooked for a long time, the taste will become tough.

……

After the food was out of the pot, Xing volunteered to find a few sets of unopened bowls, forks, spoons, etc. in a dilapidated house nearby. They could be used after just a quick wash with hot water.

Put two spoonfuls of rice on it, and then fill it with a spoonful of rich broth with meat and potato cubes and pour it over the rice. Then a bowl of steaming hot and distinctive "Snowfield Rice" is ready!

Snowfield Rice Bowl

Introduction: Wild root vegetables from the snowy plains of Beloberg are stewed together with canned pork from 700 years ago. The Creation Mask, which tastes like mushrooms, is crisp and slightly sweet, a cross between bamboo shoots and green leafy vegetables. These ingredients together create this heart-warming and delicious dish in the snow.

Consumption benefit: Gain a 24-hour stomach-warming and heart-warming buff. The consumer will not be affected by the cold and will not be identified as an enemy by the Rift Creatures during this period.

"Everyone, dinner is ready!"

Yue Yan glanced at the time. It was past twelve o'clock, just time for lunch. After serving a bowl to each person, he asked them to find a suitable place to sit down, and then he picked up his bowl and started eating.

The Iron Guards were still a little wary of this, even though Yue Yan had told them when she was cooking just now that this was her special ability - a magical skill that could turn inedible things into delicious food.

But they were still a little wary. That was a Rift Creation, could it really be eaten? — Although the rice bowl was indeed delicious, even the youngest recruit in the team didn't dare to bite into it...

Meanwhile, everyone on the train enjoyed the meal.

Yue Yan proved her strength with facts - even in the wilderness, without an electric rice cooker and having to cook with firewood, the rice she cooked was distinct grains, crystal clear, and not sticky at all.

The rich and salty soup has coated every grain of rice, and it almost slides into your mouth. The canned pork that has been frozen for seven hundred years has been perfectly preserved due to its sealing and low temperature, without a trace of spoilage. The warm fat and the faint sweetness of the root tubers dance together on the tip of the tongue, overwhelms the taste buds and makes them indulge in it, while the white pepper in it dispels all the coldness in the ice and snow.

The masks taste like fresh mushrooms, fragrant and with a bit of the mushroom's crunchiness, while the core is like a vegetable, juicy and crisp. When you chew them together and swallow them, you will immediately feel your whole body warming up, as if someone has turned on the heating mode of the air conditioner.

"Delicious, so delicious!"

After taking a few hard bites, Xing revealed an exaggerated smile and reached out to wipe away her non-existent tears:

"Being able to eat such delicious food... I have no regrets in my life."

Chapter 31 Amber Ripened Meat

"Well, Boss...if you don't want to eat it, let me taste it for you first..."

One of the guards finally couldn't help it - this was an emergency mission, and he didn't bring much dry food with him, so he ate it all on the way. It took a long time to catch the little thief, and he was already hungry.

Although Jeppard kept signaling him with his eyes not to eat yet, his rumbling stomach would not lie after all.

So, after asking his superiors for permission, he finally scooped up a spoonful of rice with meat and potatoes, and put it into his mouth with great determination amid the eager and nervous eyes of his colleagues around him.

"Um……"

"how do you feel?"
