Chapter 11

Lu Yu shrunk back his hand, awkwardly smiling, “King, should I feed you? You just chopped wood earlier, so I’ll save you the trouble of washing your hands…”

Tai Li paused, slowly lowering his hand.

Lu Yu looked at his expressionless face, feeling a bit uneasy.

In these days of getting along, Tai Li gave him the impression of being tall, fierce, with few words, serious, and not easily compromising.

…Is it too much to feed such a person?

After reflecting for a moment, Lu Yu decided to forget it. Just as he was about to make a joke to cover up, Tai Li spoke up.

“Okay.”

Tai Li’s expression seemed calm, but only he knew that his back was already somewhat stiff, and his palms were sweating.

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, then quickly reacted. Feeling relieved, he hurriedly sat cross-legged in front of him and offered a piece of meat wrapped in wild vegetables to his mouth.

“Eating grilled meat wrapped in this vegetable is delicious,” Lu Yu enthusiastically recommended.

Tai Li lowered his head to take a bite, chewed for a moment, swallowed, and solemnly praised, “Delicious.”

Lu Yu’s smile was about to burst uncontrollably.

He didn’t know how many people had praised his cooking before, and he shouldn’t feel anything special about such compliments. But when Tai Li praised him, he unexpectedly felt a bit proud?

After dinner, Lu Yu checked the game panel and found that although the favorability progress bar had increased slightly, it had only increased by a little. If he relied on this, he would probably need to feed Tai Li a hundreds of times…

It seems that the difficulty is not just in upgrading the village; even the upgrade difficulty of the panel is increasing geometrically.

Lu Yu sighed helplessly.

The next day, Shan Pu hunted another wild boar.

This time, Shan Pu remembered the lesson. When the wild boar was brought back, it was still breathing.

Lu Yu opened the game panel and searched.

[Black-haired wild boar: Land melee]

[Threat level: E]

[Drop probability: E-grade white stone dagger]

A weapon!

Lu Yu was delighted at first, but then he felt a bit nervous.

The drop rate of items from beasts was random. They had killed such large beasts several times before, but apart from mammoths and the wolf king, they hadn’t dropped anything good. Of course, the drop rate of medicinal items was much higher than other types.

After silently praying in his heart, Lu Yu turned to Shan Pu and said, “Kill it.”

Shan Pu struck the wild boar with a stick, killing it.

Ding!

A white dagger fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Lu Yu’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly picked it up.

A line of text popped up on the game panel.

[E-grade white stone dagger: Weak lethality, no special effects]

…Although it looked like junk, Lu Yu thought it was not bad.

The material of the dagger looked like polished white granite. Although it wasn’t particularly sharp, it was very hard.

After reading it, Lu Yu handed the dagger to Tai Li. “King, it’s up to you to decide who will use this weapon.”

The Matai people had been eagerly watching since Lu Yu picked it up. When he mentioned the word “weapon,” their eyes lit up even more.

They were all Matai people responsible for fighting, and they had an innate love for weapons.

The Matai people turned their eager eyes to Tai Li.

Tai Li examined the short weapon, pondered for a moment, and called Shan Pu over. “Keep it safe.”

Shan Pu happily replied, “Yes!”

Lu Yu smiled. Tai Li’s thoughts were the same as his. A dagger, which required close combat, was more suitable for someone with speed.

Lu Yu looked at the disappointed Matai people around him and encouraged, “Don’t envy. As long as we hunt more, one day, everyone will have their own weapon!”

Yes, if Witch can change for one, he can definitely change another again.

The enthusiasm for hunting among the Matai people soared unprecedentedly.

For tonight’s dinner, Lu Yu prepared pan-fried pork chops.

Lu Yu stood by the bonfire, grilling meat, sweating profusely.

After dinner, I’ll go take a bath later. Lu Yu thought to himself.

He discovered a spring when he went to pick wild vegetables in the morning. It was a clear mountain spring, and the spring water gathered into a pond about the size of a public bath.

He hadn’t told anyone yet, planning to try it out himself first.

Lu Yu flipped the fragrant pork chops and happily thought that it would be very comfortable to soak in there…

Wait a minute.

Lu Yu’s hand paused as a flash of inspiration hit him.

…Taking a bath together, would that also count as an intimate act?
