Carefully holding the lunchbox, Ren Xiao sat down under a crooked tree by the stream. She placed her Crossbow beside her and, with a respectful heart, began to use her chopsticks to taste the bowl of fried rice that was both expensive and delicious.
Scooping out a spoonful of the fresh-looking fried rice without wasting a single grain, she put it into her mouth. The pure aroma of the fried rice immediately blossomed from Ren Xiao's lips.
The softness of the rice was average, slightly too soft, lacking the fullness and chewiness of Black Chestnut Rice. However, with each bite, the rich fragrance of the stir-fried eggs released from the grains made Ren Xiao feel weak all over. It was as refreshing as drinking spring water; this pure and smooth texture was something Ren Xiao had never experienced before. She had never even imagined that such a "non-stinky" delicacy existed in this world!
Ren Xiao's mouth watered instantly!
Her eyes widened in disbelief; she could hardly contain herself: this rice is incredibly fragrant and pure!!!
How did Chen Zao manage to do this?
How could he remove any unpleasant smell from the rice so thoroughly?
Having been taken by Ren Tang to savor delicious foods across the mountains and fields, Ren Xiao's taste buds were extremely sensitive. She could discern a very subtle hint of Beast Oil in this fried rice made by Chen Zao.
For Ren Xiao, who had always relied on and was familiar with Beast Oil for strengthening her body, this slight fishy scent did not ruin the rich aroma of the fried rice; instead, it added a touch of healthiness to it!
The choice of ingredients, the combination, the cooking time, and the culinary technique were nothing short of brilliant!
Although this fried rice still had obvious room for improvement, it was already the best fried rice Ren Xiao had ever tasted!
It was far superior to those Golden Chestnut Rice dishes mixed with countless ingredients trying to mask their foul odor!
No wonder Chen Zao charged one gram of gold for a serving; this fried rice was indeed worth that price!
Ren Xiao was indeed a foodie, and she had a keen sense for quality.
She understood very well that this Fried Rice was all about its pure texture.
Such a genuine and pure aroma made Ren Xiao feel deeply moved as she ate, pondering how many mountains and rivers Chen Zao must have crossed to find such delicious grains in nature.
How much effort did he expend to completely eliminate the unpleasant smell from this fragrant rice?
Where did he find such fresh and tasty wild chicken eggs? What kind of oil did he use to fry them to achieve this delightful fragrance?
For the sake of this exceptional Fried Rice, Chen Zao must have endured countless hardships and exerted efforts beyond what ordinary people could imagine!
In this foul and decaying world of the apocalypse, maintaining a determination for culinary delights, tirelessly traversing mountains and waters for food, undeterred by difficulties—Chen Zao's dedication was like the most ordinary yet profoundly touching ray of sunlight piercing through the gloomy sky. This is what it truly means to be a chef!
As she savored the pure and delicious Fried Rice, Ren Xiao was utterly moved by Chen Zao's spirit in pursuing culinary excellence.
Her Third Brother always told her that only by tasting the most delicious food in the world could people develop beautiful hopes from their stomachs to their hearts.
In the past, Ren Xiao had only partially understood this sentiment.
But today, after tasting Chen Zao's box of Fried Rice that felt like a breeze from the Golden Age, Ren Xiao finally understood how powerful and beautiful the spiritual strength that food brings can be!
The more she savored it, the more she was touched.
This Fried Rice, imbued with Chen Zao's relentless pursuit of flavor, greatly inspired Ren Xiao. It turned out that life could be so beautiful!
Chen Zao saw Ren Xiao enjoying her meal with great enthusiasm and decided not to disturb her while she savored this delicacy of the Golden Age.
Taking the opportunity, he approached the corpse of the low-level Beast Soldier that Ren Xiao had shot. Using his Curved Blade, he extracted an Energy Core the size of a quail egg, which emitted a faint icy blue glow.
After rinsing it in stream water and checking its quality under the sunlight, he silently placed the Energy Core into his pocket.
Ren Xiao caught a glimpse of Chen Zao stealing her loot, but the Fried Rice was simply too delicious for her to care about such matters with Chef Chen.
Every Deep Sea Beast has a magical Energy Core inside that can be refined into Deep Sea Beast Oil, yielding just over 1 milliliter of pure Beast Oil.
This type of Energy Core must be extracted within half an hour after the beast's death; otherwise, the corpse will absorb the energy from the core, causing it to lose its potency and preventing the extraction of high-quality Beast Oil.
Each year, the Deep Sea Army sweeps through Survivor Bases on land, resulting in many Beast Soldiers being killed in battle. However, due to the fierce nature of these battles and the overwhelming presence of the Deep Sea Army, few Survivors dare to venture onto the battlefield to extract Energy Cores from beast corpses, leading to a significant waste of these valuable resources.
The Energy Cores that humans can obtain mostly come from hunting Beast Soldiers that have fallen behind after a sweep by the Deep Sea Army.
In the month or two following a sweep by the Deep Sea Army at human bases, many straggling Beast Soldiers remain in the mountains and fields, and sometimes entire squads of beasts are left behind.
This period is when human hunters concentrate their efforts for counter-hunting.
Typically, after one or two months of hunting, it becomes difficult to find any remaining Beast Soldiers near Survivor Bases.
To acquire more Energy Cores, people must venture further into more dangerous territories for hunting.
Due to the difficulty in obtaining them and the large quantity of Beast Oil required for humans to grow stronger, in this post-apocalyptic world, Beast Oil has become as valuable as gold and circulates freely as a high-value currency.
1 milliliter of Primary Refined Beast Oil is equivalent to 1 gram of gold.
Moreover, 1 milliliter of extremely pure Beast Oil extracted from the Energy Core of those powerful Deep Sea Beasts can even be exchanged for 1 gram of gold!
During the few months that Chen Zao survived in the apocalypse, he crazily consumed over 5 milliliters of Primary Beast Oil. If converted to gold, he has already spent over a million in gold to strengthen himself!
This can definitely be considered a true transformation into strength worth its weight in gold!
Chen Zao's body is different from that of ordinary people in the apocalypse.
Generally, the new generation of Earthlings, whose genes have been damaged by growing up in the apocalypse, consumes Beast Oil much more slowly than Chen Zao.
In the apocalypse, a strong adult warrior continuously consuming Beast Oil might not even manage to consume a liter of pure Beast Oil over two to three years.
It's not that they can't afford it; it's because their bodies cannot handle it.
Someone like Ren Xiao, who comes from a Noble Family and is a Rich Girl, has never lacked for Beast Oil. However, after so many years, Ren Xiao still hasn't consumed enough pure Beast Oil to reach a liter.
Typically, an Apocalyptic Survivor can refine all the corrupt elements from their flesh after consuming two to three liters of Primary Beast Oil. After that, further consumption of Primary Beast Oil becomes ineffective for them.
At this point, they have already advanced to the Intermediate Warrior Realm, where they need to refine the corrupt elements from their bones and tendons.
