Chapter 3014 Safe Spot
The spot Nero found inside was a few hundred meters into the ground, with a big entrance, which could easily be blocked.
It is inside a giant metal deposit, which is very hard to cut, and also it is hidden by shrubs on a small hill.
I liked it immediately, and the first thing I did after deciding on it, it to block it. There wasn"t anything to block it with around.
So, I asked Nero to bring the huge rock I had seen a few miles back.
He brought it within a few minutes, and I blocked the entrance before entering inside, where I took out my abode.
Hun!
As I entered the abode, a surprised expression couldn"t help but appear on my face before it turned into a full smile.
This is my first spatial abode, and even after getting many along the way, I kept using it, but today I thought it might be a day when I might need to use the different ones, but it looks like I do not have to.
It couldn"t help but make me happy; I have grown quite attached to it. It would have made me a little sad if I had to change it for something better.
After checking things, I let go of my armor.
The thing that made me happy was that the abode had blocked all the energy of the ruin, which is the thing I need, as, without my armor, the energy of this place would tear me apart.
It took me little more than eight hours to find shelter and fight many battles on the way; it made me tired.
So, the first thing I did was sleep; I did not even shower as I slept.
When I woke up four hours later, I felt refreshed and well-rested and also recovered. My injuries have fully recovered, and my last bit of life-force, couldn"t make me happy.
I checked everything for a minute before going bathroom to freshen up and shower before walking out of my room and into the living room, where I sat on the couch and closed my eyes.
Soon, I had entered my core, and in the past day, every time I entered my core, I would directly to go the library, but this time, I went to the cooking station.
I am hungry, and I want to eat something delicious.
A moment later, I reached the cooking station, and the first thing; I looked at was the meat of monsters, which was already cut and processed.
Not only that, but they also ground the wheat and made a dough from the wild wheat I had found, and now, that dough is already fermented and read to bake, which I did.
I put it in the oven before turning it into meat.
While the bread would be made with the head from the formation, the meat is not so much; even my silver fire wouldn"t be enough to cook the way I want; thankfully, I have another fire.
So, I begin to make the preparations, cutting the vegetable and mixing the spices; all of them are above the limit.
Vegetable like meat is from this ruin, but spices are not, but they are also above the limit.
I had not used the growth energy for wheat, rice, and other things, as the quant.i.ty I need is too huge, but that is not the same for spices. They are required in less amount, so I guiltily used some of the growth energy to take them above the limit.
Soon, I was done with the preparations and brought out the white fire from the soul lake.
It is the only fire that would let me cook that powerful meat the way I want, but it is very control.
Thankfully, I can control it accurately enough to cook with it.
It took a little more than one and a half hours for the meal to be cooked, more than I usually took, but seeing what I made, it was totally worth it.
I wish I had someone to share it with; even Ashlyn and Nero are out, and they are having so much fun that they are unwilling to return in the name of a meal, which they usually do.
Shaking my head, I served myself a portion with a smile on my face and took a first bite of the sumptuous meal that I had cooked.
Humm!
A sound couldn"t help but come out of my mouth as I took the first bite. It is delicious, and the flavors melded so great that people would have o.r.g.a.s.ms eating it.
I gulped the bite, and a moment later, another big smile appeared on my face.
It had been quite a while since I had felt immense energy with a single bite of the food and waited for a few seconds to digest it, despite it being soft.
The culinary art is not simple as cooking the food; it is more of a manipulation of energies.
Those who are good enough at it could manipulate the energies in such a way that the harshest of energies of material became soft and easily digestible.
It is very hard to do that with energies of such a high level, but I was able to do it with white fire.
It also quite disappointed that it will be hard for me to cook dishes that do not require heat, but I have two years of experience, and I am sure if I had practiced enough, I would be able to do it.
I have also bought the tome with me as there are still nine methods remaining to be masters, which are extremely hard.
I have been trying for months, but I still wasn"t able to get master the method on the 991st page.
I will focus on it because it will not only help me learn another cooking method but also will help me tremendously with my energy manipulation.
This time played a huge part in taking me where I am; without it, I don"t think I would have the power that I have now.
So, I will spend substantial time on it, and I think the library will also help.
The culinary arts have a huge section dedicated to hundreds of thousands of books about it.
And this is just the first floor of the library.
It took me a little more than an hour to finish off the food and ten more minutes of rest to absorb the energy, but it was time well spent.
Now that I was rested and satisfied, I appeared at the library door and entered inside before walking toward the workstation my clone had set up, where both of them were reading with complete focus.
The challenge is huge, and we have limited time; we can not waste even a minute.
So, I sat on the table and picked up the book from the pile that my clone had set up beside it, and began to study.
It did not even take a minute for me to be completely engrossed in it that when Ashlyn returned sometime later, I did not even look up from the book.
