Chapter 436: : The second night of Winter, a forgotten surprise

This is the second night after entering the Winter Challenge.

Cold weather can make people sleepy.

At this time, more sleep time is needed to accumulate energy for the body.

The second daughter first came to the long table to report to Zong Shen.

After telling Zong Shen that he had safely sent the soldiers back to the living quarters.

They just started to move around freely.

Vereesa sat a little weary on the chair in the living room.

After Luna saw the busy scene in the kitchen, she suddenly disappeared from fatigue.

After a simple wash of his hands, he could not wait to enter the kitchen.

Cooking is a small hobby that she has only recently lit up. By cooking delicious food for her beloved, Luna not only passes the time, but also gains spiritual satisfaction.

So now Luna is very attentive to things like cooking.

She had just walked into the kitchen, before she had time to intervene, she suddenly remembered something.

He quickly walked out of the kitchen and walked to Vereesa sitting in the living room.

After whispering affectionately in her ear.

He hugged Vereesa and walked into the kitchen together.

This makes the kitchen a lot more lively.

Zong Shen just glanced silently, then withdrew his gaze.

Doris is obviously cooking for the first time, because Zong Shen can hear Mariel teach her some common sense about cooking from time to time.

It's a pity that the two meditative madmen, Tahiya and Aishya, didn't come back to rest.

After Ai Shiya advanced to become the fourth-order Holy Light Deacon, Tasiya started a certain kind of competition with her.

All my free time every day is spent on going to the [Magic Hall] for meditation practice.

Come do your best to improve your attributes and strength.

There is an upper limit for the promotion of meditation practice, with 24 hours as an attribute cycle.

After ten cycles are accumulated, the upper limit is reached.

Both of them have now accumulated three cycles of attribute promotion.

The root of this competition still comes from the disagreement between the Holy Light System and the Necro System.

When Ai Xiya was recruited, the first meeting of the two girls ended in a quarrel.

Zong Shen remembered this still fresh, and later he stumbled constantly.

Fortunately, after this time of getting along, plus Zong Shen deliberately adjusted from it.

The relationship between the two daughters has become more harmonious, at least they have become more normal partners.

But although the quarrels and hostility on the surface are gone, the competition in the dark has never stopped. Both sides want to overwhelm the other side in strength.

The current situation is that Tahiya is temporarily at a disadvantage.

After all, Asya is already Tier 4, and Tahya is Tier 3.

Naturally, there will be no opposition to this kind of healthy competition. Anyway, Tasiya and Aisha are one of the leading figures in Zong Shen's Faye, no matter whether they are strong or weak.

He sat in the chair with his thoughts empty, and the second night of Winter Winter was about the same as the first night, lazy and languid.

Just now Zong Shen checked in the [Regional Channel] for a while.

It was found that the situation in the area was relatively peaceful.

According to the speeches, about one-fifth of the lords claimed to have been attacked by snow monsters.

This data is not accurate and can only be used as a reference.

At the same time, the number of survivors in the upper area has decreased by 192 today.

With the advent of night, the winter snow monster's activity time increases.

There should be more snow monsters starting to break into the territory.

Tonight is not destined to be too peaceful for some lords.

But these things have nothing to do with our Zong.

The nearby Winter Snow Monster, which was relatively close to the territory, was almost completely killed by him.

Of course, it does not rule out that there will be a snow monster wandering in again tonight.

The territory of the members of the legion is also in the nearby area, and they may not be attracted to someone from other sects.

After thinking of the legion members, Zong Shen suddenly remembered the countdown that appeared in the [legion] that morning in the castle of Baron Bezos.

Now there are more than sixty hours left in the countdown.

About two and a half days or so, just after the Winter Challenge was over.

According to the remarks under the system, after the countdown ends, the military version 1.1 rules will be activated.

I don't know what kind of adjustments will be made.

Regarding the rule adjustment of the lord system, Zong Shen is no stranger.

As the mysterious existence of the leading lords, the lord system will adjust various rules according to the general development progress of the lords.

To adapt to the new situation at different stages of development.

In fact, the previous Legion rules did not keep up with the formalities.

In particular, it can only recruit lords within the realm level range.

It made Zong Shen want to complain.

This rule not only shackles the promotion of legion members, but also affects the development of the territory itself.

That is, the exclusiveness of the territory cannot be guaranteed.

This is related to the total area of ​​the area and the number of surviving lords.

There are dozens of lords in the territory of Zong Shen's radius of eight kilometers.

This is a very embarrassing situation, although it complies with the rules and circumstances when it first came.

But there are contradictions hidden. These lords who exist in the scope will eventually hinder the expansion of the territory.

However, Zong Shen's previous plan for a center supplemented by multiple supply points is actually very difficult.

These dozens of lords also need to maintain continuous development, and a few square kilometers of land is simply not enough.

Regarding this point, it is very likely that the lord system will have subsequent adjustments.

If there is no adjustment, then Zong Shen can only adopt a gentle method of annexation, and merge these lords into his own system to form a new node.

The function of [legion] can be used as a good link.

The specific situation can only be considered and arranged when it is specific.

At least these potential contradictions will not appear within a short time.

This problem is not just Zong Shen's problem alone.

It's not just a question of the commander of the legion, but a question of every lord.

Zong Shen didn't believe that the lord system was unaware of this, and there will definitely be new rules changes in the future.

After thinking about it, the twittering kitchen finally quieted down.

Under the guidance of Mariel, a series of delicious dishes were served on the table.

There are more people staying today, so the amount and variety of dishes are more abundant than the previous night.

The territory’s food stocks are becoming more abundant, and so are the dishes.

From the earliest roasted wolf meat to bear broth, to the delicious and hearty dinner now.

The changes that have taken place are obvious.

Mariel has some cooking experience, although she is not rated as a junior chef.

But it was also much better than those female fighters who didn't touch the sun with both hands.

There are no tricks in the cooked dishes, and no attribute gains.

But it tastes delicious, at least it can satisfy the taste buds while having a full stomach.

In front of everyone was a bowl of piping hot oatmeal with cane sugar and a small glass of spirits.

This carefully cooked multigrain porridge looks thick and thick.

The peculiar aroma of cereals comes with the rising heat.

In addition to oatmeal porridge, there are also sausages that have been simply heated and crusty bread cooked in a steamer until soft.

And one serving of rum baked meat with special mushroom sauce.

These are the fruits of the girls busy in the kitchen.

Everyone sat upright and waited for Zong Shen to move first.

As the lord here, he is the real master.

In fact, Zong Shen didn't catch a cold with such pedantic rules.

But this is also the most basic etiquette in this world.

When the original territory is poor and white, you don't need to care about the pre-dinner ceremony.

But now as living conditions become better and better, some etiquette will be inevitable.

Zong Shen picked up the small wine glass filled with spirits and held it up to the height of the tip of his nose.

"Cheers to the territory."

...

"cheers…"

The women also raised their glasses to respect each other from afar, Zong Shen nodded slightly, and drank the glass of strong wine in one fell swoop.

With a strong burning taste, the liquor flows from his mouth, through the esophagus, and finally into the stomach.

His body warmed up quickly, and a warm current quickly began to spread.

With his current strong physique, he would be stimulated by alcohol.

Judging by the taste, this drink should be the rum he originally drew from the dark iron treasure chest.

After drinking the pre-dinner wine, Zong Shen put down the wine glass and picked up the wooden spoon on the side.

At the beginning, the porridge was scooped spoon by spoon, and after a little air blowing to cool it, it was delivered into the mouth.

Oatmeal tastes good, with some sweetness of cane sugar.

The boiled is very thick and thick, and every piece of oatmeal grains are boiled softly.

The heavy feeling of fullness made Zong Shen feel very comfortable.

After drinking half a bowl of oatmeal, he picked up a whole sausage.

The reddish-brown surface exudes a little oily shine.

The sausage is a bit warm, and the stuffed meat is almost breaking the casing.

The appearance of these sausages looks tempting.

Zong Shen just glanced at it and knew that they did not belong to the food produced in the territory.

It is estimated that it came from the procurement of materials in the village.

Because the food handling methods in the territory are still relatively rough.

For example, those jerky that is so salty is like this.

They are all made from the animal meat before, and the method of marinating is very simple, and it tastes very salty.

Zong Shen stared at the big sausage in his hand, sniffed lightly.

I stuck it in my mouth and took a big bite,

As the lips and teeth bite open the thin and elastic casing.

The fat and meat released by heating instantly fill the mouth.

The rich texture of the meat gives enough elastic feedback in every chewing.

The sausage is slightly salty, with some aromas of black pepper and basil leaves.

It tastes delicious, and the ingredients used in these sausages are also very solid, which can quickly meet the satiety requirements.

"Um...this batch of sausages is really good."

"Do you know where you bought it from?"

Zong Shen ate all the sausages.

After swallowing the last bite of satisfaction, he asked softly.

Maryl, who was sitting on the side, quickly responded.

"My lord, these sausages come from the village of Sitano."

"As a village with a relatively developed aquaculture industry, there are many processing workshops in the village."

"Bacon, cured meat, dried meat, sausages and other meat products are also important external commodities of the village."

Zong Shen nodded gently, picked up the porridge bowl that had begun to cool, and drank the oatmeal in one go.

When he put down the porridge bowl, he looked at Mariel casually.

"Maryl, when the winter is over, you will return to Sitano Village first."

"Give him the money promised to your father."

"At the same time, let him find a way to relocate a meat processing workshop while planning the construction of the ranch."

Hearing Zong Shen's words, Mariel kept it in her heart, nodding her head.

This incident was an episode, and Zong Shen didn't care about it.

He wants to continue to let Sitano Village go to the territory for blood transfusion through the relationship of Master Mars.

Zong Shen finished his dinner soon and sat in a chair casually.

His mind was immersed in the portable storage compartment and [Dragon Turtle's Thick Leather Backpack].

Half of the 104 storage compartments have been occupied.

There are not only various sundries, but also spare weapons and equipment and materials and props with different functions.

Some supplies are also stored in the dragon tortoise backpack.

The backpack and the portable storage compartment are two different storage interfaces.

Compared with the portable storage compartment, unless the storage compartment is not enough, Zong Shen rarely checks the backpack.

Most of his belongings are also placed in the storage compartment.

I can just sort it out tonight.

When he opened the backpack storage interface, he saw two treasure chests.

"How come there are treasure chests?"

Zong Shen was stunned, he himself didn't remember what he got these two treasure chests.

He got up, went to the empty part of the living room, waved his hand to take out these treasure chests.

One is a bronze treasure chest, a silver treasure chest, and both treasure chests have no problems.

Staring at these two treasure chests, Zong Shen thought about it for a while, and finally remembered where they came from.

This was just a few days ago, when Zong Shen's transforming potion changed into Saffli's appearance, he infiltrated the buried bunker excavated by the Calamity Raven Church, and found it in the corner of the bunker tunnel.

Because the incident in Otto Village was too intense, he went to the heroes to save the United States as soon as he left the ruins.

In addition, the portable storage compartment at that time was filled with various emergency items and resources.

So these two treasure chests were put into the backpack storage compartment.

This caused them to be forgotten for several days.

This is a bronze treasure chest plus a silver treasure chest!

Someone in his Zong actually forgot to forget.

If this matter is spread out, it will definitely make the ordinary lords envy vomiting blood.

Treasure chests are only distributed in the ruins everywhere or in some special places.

It's been almost half a month since I landed There are still some lords who haven't opened treasure chests.

There are almost no guys like Zong Shen who open treasure chests to the point of numbness.

"really not bad."

"This is an unexpected surprise."

Zong Shen thought of the cause and effect, and a smile appeared on his face.

It's like suddenly remembering a forgotten deposit.

There is an inexplicable sense of joy.

The silver treasure chest can open up rare items.

In fact, he doesn't really like rare things anymore.

But this does not hinder Zong Shen's love for unpacking.
