The City of Terror - Chapter 620
Chapter 620: Chapter 620 – Hunger
“Ok. All of you, announce your address and phone numbers to me.”
Wei Xiao Bei used his [Enlightenment] to scan these people once and inquired them one by one.
Toward Wei Xiao Bei’s questions, the majority of the people were worried, wondering what he was going to do with that information.
Thus, many people told lies when reporting their phone numbers and addresses.
However, Wei Xiao Bei did not expose their lies.
He was only concerned with discerning these people’s natures. As for their addresses and their phone numbers, they were all listed in their status panels very clearly and were remembered by Wei Xiao Bei.
On the other hand, among the people, there were only 7 who were honest about their phone numbers and addresses. Ling Hu Zhong was among them.
These seven people were already people that Wei Xiao Bei planned to lure in.
Naturally, this did not mean that those liars were inferior people. After all, even Wei Xiao Bei might have lied if asked such questions in such a situation.
After all, the safety of the family and various other questions would pose problems. Those who dared tell the truth were few.
However, it was also because of this that Wei Xiao Bei decided to recruit these seven people. The consideration process for this was not simple.
Afterward, Wei Xiao Bei told everyone how to return to the Real World.
Hearing Wei Xiao Bei’s words, the majority of the people did not believe it.
In truth, the people did not have any hope for the future when they arrived in this familiar yet strange world.
Some of them even planned to commit suicide by jumping into the lake so that they would not need to suffer anymore.
Now, they had heard the way to return. Although it might have sounded simple, some had even tried it before, but to no avail, so they had given up on returning.
However, some of the people’s bodies began to disappear into thin air, causing them to think that this method might work.
Just like that, even those who cursed loudly before felt appreciative of Wei Xiao Bei.
In their eyes, they could not return with the same method, but when Wei Xiao Bei told them, they were able to. They treated this as Wei Xiao Bei’s miracle.
Wei Xiao Bei would not tell them that they needed to stay for a period of time before the method could work.
In any case, his method was effective and allowed the people to leave, one by one.
However, some of them came forward with embarrassment and told their real phone numbers and addresses.
The reason was simple. Some people were worried that Wei Xiao Bei might harm their families by telling him their phone numbers and addresses.
However, after taking another look, he was quite open and candid as he told them the method to return without asking for anything back.
Just like that, some of the people naturally had a conscience.
Wei Xiao Bei also included these people in the list of possible recruits. As for those that left without telling the truth, Wei Xiao Bei did not care about them at all.
Those people’s natures were evil. If they were recruited, there was no doubt that it would be the same as placing rats in a basket of apples.
When they left the Dust World, Wei Xiao Bei let Zhang Zhi Long leave first and told him to return back to the Dojo.
Before this, Zhang Zhi Long was not willing to leave alone. He was worried that Wei Xiao Bei might encounter some danger and he would not be able to help out.
However, now that he saw how much stronger Wei Xiao Bei was, he did not need to worry anymore. His body gradually became transparent and disappeared.
After Zhang Zhi Long left, Wei Xiao Bei extended his left hand and shot out tendrils to create eggs.
From these eggs, he bred Persons
After all, if he wanted to gather a large amount of reed, there were many complicated things that needed to be done such as gathering, cleaning, peeling, etc. If Wei Xiao Bei did everything by himself, it would take too long.
With 20 Persons working together, he would be able to do it faster.
There was a large amount of reeds growing on the lakeside of Lake Cui. Even if these Persons were a lot stronger than normal people, they would still get tired after working for a while.
These Persons were bred creatures and not Zombies that could move forever.
Compared to Wei Xiao Bei who was pondering something by the side, these Persons still had to clean the reeds no matter how tired they were.
After obtaining a large amount of reeds, Wei Xiao Bei rode the White Mist Draconic Horse back to the desert area.
As for those Persons, Wei Xiao Bei simply made them build a reed house and live in Lake Cui. if people approached lake Cui, then these Persons would show them the method to return to the Real World.
They would also test the nature of these people. If they satisfied Wei Xiao Bei’s requirements, then their information would be written down so that Wei Xiao Bei could recruit them in the future.
After all, Lake Cui was the only source of water in the entire Cui Hu City. Anyone that had some ability would be able to find it.
As for these Persons, they might also be killed by humans in the end, but it was also possible for them to be killed by monsters. Some people might even treat them as friends and some might even fall in love.
Nothing could block the advance of the White Mist Draconic Horse when it flew above 200 meters.
With its speed, it already reached the desert area in less than 10 seconds. After five seconds, it descended about 1 kilometer away from Ao Yan’s location.
This could not be helped. As something that was made from a true Dragon, the White Mist Draconic Horse feared Ao Yan and simply did not dare approach.
Wei Xiao Bei could only put it back in the Spear and walk the rest of the way.
At this time, Ao Yan was already quite anxious. Seeing Wei Xiao Bei return, he raised his brows with delight and urged him to make some dishes.
Wei Xiao Bei walked to the Wok and poured in oil again. He stir-fired the reeds for a while before taking out the stir-fried snake meat he made previously and placed it into the wok. He mixed the two, added salt, added the fresh juices from the Fiendish Man Fish, and stir-fried the mixture at 1,200 degrees Celcius for three minutes.
This dish immediately became a lot fresher.
After sauteeing, he used [Enlightenment] and sighed.
His previous luck was not going to be a regular occurrence.
The dish that he created this time was only Rare Quality with a total of 1,598 portions. It could only raise a little bit of status.
It could be said that even if it was Rare Quality, it was still quite precious.
It must be known that creating many dishes at once used up more energy compared to just making one portion of the dish.
Just a little bit of inattentiveness would destroy the entire dish.
In truth, Wei Xiao Bei knew that if he had not gone all out, the dish would still be Elite Quality since the snake meat’s quality was simply that good.
In any case, this was still pretty good.
Seeing Wei Xiao Bei stop, Ao Yan impatiently moved his head closer with his mouth drooling, “Is it ready?”
Wei Xiao Bei nodded his head and Ao Yan’s giant claws lifted up the wok and dumped the contents in his mouth.
Aren’t you too impatient?
Wei Xiao Bei was rather stupefied.
Luckily, Ao yan was a Fire Dragon. If he was a different creature, then the Wok would have scalded him and dumping the contents directly into his mouth would definitely burn.
“Delicious!”
Ao Yan felt joyous and placed the wok down. He looked at Wei Xiao Bei, “Is there more?”
Wei Xiao Bei was speechless.
The weakness of being so large was clearly exposed.
Enough food for more than a thousand people was instantly eaten without even filling up Ao Yan’s stomach.
Luckily, Wei Xiao Bei thought about this in advance. Thus, he previously stuffed the remaining space in his storage bracelet with reeds.
20 persons were a lot faster than 20 normal people.
However, looking at Ao Yan’s capacity, who knew how many times he would have to cook.
Just like that, Wei Xiao Bei had pondered on making soup-type dishes.
Snake with reed stew!
The general cooking method was the same as the Ten Flavors Stew, but he would use less condiments and seasonings.
This could not be helped. Wei Xiao Bei might not finish the seasonings that he had if he cooked for himself, but in front of Ao Yan, a single dish’s seasoning was what Wei Xiao Bei would typically use in a month.
If he was not conservative, then he would only be able to eat unseasoned food in the future.
In the next period of time, Wei Xiao Bei cooked 10 woks of snake with reed stew. The last two Giant Pythons had been completely used. He also used a lot of reeds, Thousand Eyed Devil tentacles, Fiendish Man Fish, and various others.
However, the problem was that Ao Yan was still not full.
It must be said that Ao Yan was never this hungry before. This might be the effect of eating the Gas of Appealing Food.
“I don’t have any more meat. I can’t cook anymore.”
Seeing Ao Yan’s impatient expression, Wei Xiao Bei could not help but take out the things inside his storage bracelet for him to look at, proving that he was innocent.
This could not be helped as Ao Yan was showing an expression of being hungry and blaming him for not feeding him.
Seeing Wei Xiao Bei truly had no more meat, Ao Yan moved his body, causing the rocks on his back to fall.
“Wait here!”
Just when Wei Xiao Bei thought that Ao Yan was going to throw a tantrum, Ao Yan gradually left the place and flew to the skies.
What is he doing?
Seeing a giant rock smashing toward the wok, Wei Xiao Bei moved fast and stored it into his storage bracelet.
