Chapter 246: Chapter 157: The Diligent Mason (81–83/101)_3

Immediately, everyone was overjoyed.

Even the Human Limit’s Tai Lang said, "Mr. Yang Yuan is generous!"

"Thank you, Lord Yang Yuan, we will definitely work hard!"

"That’s right, anyone who slacks off, I’m the first to object!"

Is there anything better than drinking soup made from Earth-Level creatures every day?

This is sure to quickly enhance everyone’s abilities.

...

The city-building efforts officially began.

Yang Yuan selected fifty superpower users, who were physically weak and whose abilities were almost useless, to specialize in cooking food.

It’s worth mentioning that seven or eight kilometers from here, there’s actually a freshwater lake.

This even saves the effort of distilling freshwater.

As for salt, it can be directly refined from seawater. After all, everyone present is a superpower user with enough poison resistance not to fear any issues from consumption.

...

"Horizontal line!!"

A superpower user stood on the ground and pointed fiercely at it.

Then the soil, stones, and so on began to wriggle quickly, and the ground, which was riddled with holes by Yang Yuan’s arrows, quickly became flat.

In another area, several people joined forces to wield their abilities, causing the earth to suddenly roll and transport excess soil to fill the low-lying areas.

At the same time, some superpower users were specifically responsible for compacting and solidifying the loose soil.

...

The first meal in the afternoon was a large pot meal, which consisted of crab meat.

Over a thousand people gathered, eager to feast.

As a result, even Tai Lang of the Human Limit only took one bite before feeling too full to continue.

This shows just how vast the gap between the Human Limit and Earth Level truly is!

Of course, it may also be that the giant crab wasn’t an ordinary Earth Level creature, as it was considered the most dangerous in Jiang Yiyi’s perception at the time.

Regardless, everyone present could no longer indulge; they were full after just a small amount.

Then each one transformed into a high-energy youth, frantically starting their work.

It wasn’t that they were genuinely diligent, but the energy within them was too overwhelming, prompting them to madly expend excess energy by using their abilities.

With this, under the combined efforts of a thousand people, the city’s foundation was completed in just one day.

This is a massive foundation, measuring 2,000 meters in both length and width.

Although the city only required dimensions of 1,000 meters, Yang Yuan deliberately had the foundation extended for future trade and to eliminate nearby dangers.

At night.

When everyone else was asleep on the city’s foundation,

Yang Yuan, Zhao Jiayan, and Jiang Yiyi gathered around a small table, savoring the crab meat.

"The energy from this crab meat is too rich. If I weren’t part of the Rule System, with enhancements not limited to just essence, spirit, and soul, I probably couldn’t handle it."

Zhao Jiayan remarked, "Even so, I can only eat two bites, anything more is too much."

But Yang Yuan seemed unaffected, taking several bites without a problem: "The energy is indeed substantial, but it’s too tough, not as flavorful as imagined. I thought such a giant crab’s meat would be delicious. Yet the soup is quite tasty, which is strange."

Zhao Jiayan sheepishly admitted, "It’s not the meat that’s tough; it’s my poor cooking skills. I think this crab meat should have been grilled, but ordinary flames can’t roast it, so I used a pressure cooker to boil it for an entire day."

Boiled crab?

No wonder something always felt off.

"How did those guys cook it during the day? They also seemed to boil it, right?" Yang Yuan was surprised.

"They have Fire Superpower Users and some peculiar superpower users who can raise water temperatures significantly. I suspect they misused their abilities, that among those cooking, one might have talents specifically for culinary skills."

Zhao Jiayan quipped, "Why don’t you make something to enhance the water temperature or make things easier to cook?"

Yang Yuan pondered, "I’ll make both a rice cooker and a pressure cooker."

After finishing their meal, he got straight to work.

Both the rice cooker and the pressure cooker have an Energy Converter that uses a Spirit Monster Core as the energy source.

Here, without those materials, Yang Yuan couldn’t print them with his machine, so he proceeded to dismantle the original rice cooker and pressure cooker, then reassembled them.

After reassembly, both items started with an initial upgrade experience of five points, but the speed of gaining experience differed significantly.

The rice cooker gains one point of experience per completed meal.

The pressure cooker gains one point per minute once the water boils, with no upper limit, theoretically allowing continuous experience gains as long as it cooks.

As a result, overnight, despite Zhao Jiayan cooking numerous meals successively, she only managed to raise its level to four, improving performance greatly, but without a qualitative change.

Of course, the cooked meals weren’t wasted; they were stored in the Storage Bracelet, ready to eat next time at the same temperature.

Regarding the pressure cooker, in just one night, it reached level eleven, achieving Marvel status.

[Marvel · Pressure Cooker lv.11: 0/10 (The water temperature increases by one degree per minute after boiling, up to a maximum of a thousand degrees; cannot be upgraded)]

"Wow, a pressure cooker that can reach a thousand degrees!"

Zhao Jiayan excitedly examined the pressure cooker, now noticeably more robust and durable after the upgrade, more delighted than when she received the Storage Bracelet: "A thousand-degree pressure cooker, that should be able to cook crab meat, right?"

"I’m not sure. Theoretically, Earth-Level creatures shouldn’t be afraid of a thousand-degree heat, but after death, pure flesh shouldn’t be that strong. You can give it a try."

Yang Yuan chuckled, "Why do you just think of boiling crabs? Can’t you cook something else? Like that giant octopus."
