Chapter 30 Opportunity
Chapter 30 Opportunity
Ash opened the lid of the pot, and the charming aroma of meat spread through the air throughout the kitchen.
Looking at the temptingly colored braised pork and then at the vegetable stew she had made, Sister Yueban felt embarrassed to serve this dish to the children.
"I forgot to buy vegetables. It's too greasy to eat now." Ash said to himself as he looked at the braised pork in the pot.
"Um, can we change some of the dishes?" Ash looked at Maria, "I need some vegetables to balance my nutrition."
"That's fine." Maria hesitated for a moment and nodded. She was also a little greedy.
After giving out half of the meat, Ash left with the rice bucket and the large bowl of food.
After taking a look at the remaining meat, Maria looked at Ash's back and said to herself, "Did you leave this child specially for me?"
Otherwise, people at the bottom would not be willing to exchange meat for vegetables.
Ash brought the food back to his room, shared some with Cai Gou, and then started eating it himself.
{Achievement: [Chef Apprentice] achieved, reward: achievement point*1}
{Activate achievement [Little Chef]: Learn to cook 3/3 dishes and receive sincere praise from 24/100 people.}
Looking at the refreshed achievement, Ash put the last piece of braised pork into his mouth with a smile on his face.
He did exchange it with Maria on purpose, just to complete the achievement [Chef Apprentice].
Given Maria's personality, she would definitely not eat alone and would definitely share the braised pork with the orphans in the nursing home.
Considering that orphans can only eat good meat a few times a year, it is easy to get good reviews by using braised pork.
'But how can I make money later? Desserts can be made and sold in advance, but dishes can't. Can I hold a banquet? It seems feasible. I'll see if there is any way.'
After finishing his meal, Ash first activated [Gluttony] and then [Solar Breathing] to quickly refine the energy in his body into fighting spirit.
Practicing swordplay, running, and nourishing the dog, Ash lay in bed.

Ash closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
It was a new day again. Ash asked Maria for the endurance blessing they had agreed on yesterday, and then set off with the rookie dog.
He passed by the Wolf Guild's headquarters, but his steps paused slightly before quickly returning to normal.
He just saw two familiar figures. They were following a team to pack their equipment and seemed to be preparing to enter the forest.
"I'm so lucky to have this opportunity so soon."
A hint of blood appeared in Ash's eyes.
"Fizal, are everything ready?" a simple-looking young man asked a somewhat handsome young man.
"I'm ready, Brother Theo." Feizal put the package on his back and said, "Are you still worried about me doing things?"
"Then I'm really worried. I told you to rest and recuperate a few days ago. Tell me what you've been doing recently." Theo said expressionlessly, "You were playing with women and got caught. Even their husbands came to you!"
Feizal scratched his head, looking embarrassed: "I have taken care of it. I will make sure that loser will never come to my door again."
"He didn't come to my house, the security team came to my house." Theo said coldly, "He killed someone and didn't even clean up his hands and feet, and you still have the nerve to say that you've dealt with it."
"Since I was bitten by those vicious dogs, I will have to pay you 10% off your reward for this mission as a fine. Do you have any objection?"
"No, no, it's my duty, it's my duty." Feizal lowered his head, hiding the anger in his eyes.
"Pack your things and get ready to go. The prey this time was specifically requested by the president, so be careful." Theo said in a serious tone, "You don't want to be punished, do you?"
The remaining four team members, including Fizal, shuddered and shook their heads.
"set off!"
The five-man team quickly entered the woods, and soon after they entered the woods, Ash stood in their footprints and followed the vegetable dog.
As they went deeper into the woods, the trees became more and more dense, and not even a ray of sunlight was willing to reach the ground. After arriving at the target location, Theo and his team quickly set up a trap, and then Fizal took action unexpectedly.
puff!
The dagger stabbed into the throat. Feizal covered the mouth of a team member who looked a bit honest and said with a fake smile:
"I'm sorry, Rooney, this time the target is very cunning. If I don't put some bait, it won't take the bait."
"Woo woo!" The yellow-skinned player named Rooney looked at other players, trying to ask for help.
Then he saw that everyone else was looking at him with sarcasm.
Looking at the skin color of the other players, Rooney seemed to understand something and stopped struggling.
After putting the body away, Fizal laughed, "This yellow-skinned monkey really thought we would ask him to be our teammate. How funny!"
"That's right, don't you see how disgusting he is?" The teammate complained, "I think we should have killed all these yellow monkeys or reduced them to slaves."
"Who asked the Goddess of Night to be tolerant?" Another team member shrugged. "She wants to forgive these yellow monkeys. What can we do?"
"What goddess of the night? She's more like a black bitch!" The teammate spat in disdain, "Don't we know what they are doing in secret?"
"Okay, everyone, take your positions," Theo said, "don't forget our purpose."
"Yes."
The four of them immediately found a good place to hide themselves.
The smell of blood filled the air. After waiting for an unknown amount of time, a monster that looked like a wolf but not a wolf, and an ape but not an ape slowly approached here, hunching its body.
Everyone in the dark held their breath. This monster was called the Wendigo. In the words of the Luoan people, it means a cunning and bloodthirsty beast. It is a very rare monster.
It followed the blood trail to a place not far from Rooney's body and walked around the body to observe it.
Looking at the wound on Rooney's throat and his clothes that were somewhat messy, it finally determined that this was the body of a man who was betrayed by his companions and ambushed to death.
Such corpses are very common in the woods. After all, Homo sapiens likes to use these monsters to clean up corpses.
Of course, monsters also like to eat the corpses of Homo sapiens, as they think this is beneficial to their evolution.
The wolf-ape monster circled around and pounded the ground, which startled the hidden people. They couldn't help but curse inwardly that the monster was so cunning and even knew how to test traps.
The wolf-ape monster finally approached Rooney's body. It stretched out its sharp claws and took a piece of bloody meat from Rooney, not much, just a small bite.
After eating the meat, it continued to circle around, looking around.
Those who are in the dark hide themselves deeper and don't even look at it.
After confirming that the meat was not poisonous, the wolf ape monster finally began to eat the food that was delivered to its door.
Just when everyone was secretly breathing a sigh of relief, a white sword energy suddenly flew out and hit the wolf ape monster.
"Ah!" The wolf ape monster felt pain and looked at his wound, which had already been cut through the skin.
The wolf-ape monster immediately started to flee. It would not force a fight with someone in the dark just for a bite of food.
In the wild, the first priority is to ensure that you do not get hurt.
Seeing the wolf-ape monster trying to escape, Theo and others in secret immediately rolled their eyes in anger.
At this moment, they were in a dilemma. One option was to chase, but the drug had not yet taken effect, and who knew how much combat power the wolf-ape monster still retained.
The second option is not to chase it. However, after this lesson, this wolf-ape monster probably won't eat the corpses of Homo sapiens in the near future, and they can't find another Wendigo.
"Chase!" Theo shouted and made the decision.
Compared with possible death, the reality of horrific punishment is more deterrent.
Thanks to [Forever Left] for the 500-point reward
