Chapter 66: The Oven Is on Full Power and the Storm Is Over
Mcgee looked at these comments and found that everyone was not doing well.
He was relieved and could raise the price of the roasted sweet potatoes.
Although it was a little inhumane, he was not doing well.
Although this plate of roasted meat was delicious, it was not all his. He had to take care of his whole family.
He took out his short beast-patterned blade, cut open the roasted meat, and divided it up.
Omori was the one who did not need to be bothered, so he was only given one-third of the roasted pork. This was payment for his work.
The remaining two-thirds were given to Omori’s Chameleon.
As for his tamed beasts, he could not favor one over the other, so he could only divide the food fairly.
The tamed beasts that were given the roasted pork also became happy.
“Thank you, master.” The Little Spirit Fox politely replied.
“Humph…” The Earth Mine Pangolin was already very hungry. So it directly began to eat.
The Greed Treasure Chest and the Steel Fairy hid in the corner as soon as they received the roasted pork as if they were afraid of being robbed.
The Spider Queen and the four little spiders ate more with a sense of life. The whole family was warm and harmonious.
After sharing the roast pork, Mcgee elegantly cut the roast beef and chewed it slowly. It was charming, except for the bottle of Moutai that was from 1982.
No matter how hard it was outside, he still had to eat it. He could not mistreat himself.
Ten minutes later, the first batch of roasted sweet potatoes was completed, and Mcgee immediately uploaded it to the trading area.
[Delicious roasted sweet potatoes * 8. Each serving is exchanged for iron block * 6, crystal core * 3, or blueprint * 1.]
It did not matter how high the price was. Mcgee now valued rare things.
In this weather, it was already good enough to have some hot food.
If you wanted to be picky, please go out and turn left.
Anyway, many people bought it.
After uploading, Mcgee squatted in the chatbox, wanting to see everyone’s reaction to the price, but he waited for four or five seconds and did not see any messages.
When he looked at the trading page again, he realized that the roasted sweet potatoes had already been sold out.
Only then did the relevant messages appear.
“F*ck, I’ve been refres.h.i.+ng all this while. But, in the end, the roasted sweet potatoes were sold out in less than a second.”
“These people are sick in the head. It’s just a roasted sweet potato, yet they’re selling it at such a high price… Ah, it’s so sweet!”
At the back was a picture of people eating roasted sweet potatoes. That satisfied expression was a little disgusting.
“… He’s really sick.”
“He’s Crazy!”
“Terminal Stage!”
“He’s incurable. Water burial is recommended!”
“Water burial, my a.s.s. How wasteful. Can’t he be roasted?”
“…”
“Big boss Mcgee, please don’t raise the price anymore. I can only afford to buy one roasted sweet potato. So give me a way out. Thank you from afar.”
“Cherish your life and buy sweet potatoes!”
“Big Brother Mcgee, can you roast my tamed beast? It’s a delicious rabbit. I can give you the head of the rabbit.”
“Same world, same request. My tamed beast is a scorpion. I’ve asked. This thing is edible. Help me roast it. The scorpion tail is a souvenir for big brother Mcgee.”
“d.a.m.n it. My tamed beast is a caterpillar. There’s no meat.”
“The mud in my hand suddenly does not smell good.”
Looking at these funny comments, Mcgee gradually felt that something was wrong.
Because some people were indeed at the end of their rope.
At this moment, Mcgee was very regretful about peeking at the screen. The steak in his mouth started to be less appetizing.
But, he was not a G.o.d. So, he had to prioritize taking care of himself.
“Forget it. I’ll do my best. I’ll leave it to fate. I’ll help as much as I can.”
After the second box of roasted sweet potatoes was completed, Mcgee immediately uploaded the trading area and changed the trading requirements.
[Delicious roasted sweet potatoes * 9. Each portion is exchanged for either porcelain stone, magma, or thunder crystal core.]
Then, he stared at the trading area. After a few seconds, the nine roasted sweet potatoes were sold out.
There were six porcelain stones and three thunder crystal cores in the inventory. As for lava, there was none.
Fortunately, he had five portions of lava. He sold one to sister Irene, used one to make an oven, and there were three left.
Since he could trade other materials to make a small oven besides lava, he would continue to make it.
“System notification: You have successfully made a small oven.”
With two ovens, the efficiency of roasting sweet potatoes was doubled, and the trading volume doubled.
Half an hour later, Mcgee used the remaining two portions of lava and made a small oven.
This way, he had four ovens.
[Delicious roasted sweet potatoes * 30, can be exchanged for various crystals * 2, blueprints * 1, 20 copper coins, each person is limited to two portions.]
[Ps. If you need help baking food (excluding baking your tamed beasts), please contact me. Each set will cost 20 copper coins.]
Mcgee did not know whether this was the right thing to do. He thought of himself as a kind-hearted businessman.
But he did not regret it. Doing this seemed that he had earned less, but it also gave others a glimmer of hope to survive.
After all, the survivors had all received a reward of 100 copper coins from the system. So if they really did not have anything to eat, they could buy it with copper coins.
However, the number of roasted sweet potatoes was limited. So even if he traded all of his stock, it was only a drop in the ocean, a drop in the bucket.
It could only be counted as saving one.
As for those who had food but wanted to eat cooked food indicated that he could help roast them.
Of course, cooking tamed beasts was an exception.
This was his bottom line.
As soon as this trade news was released, it immediately caused a huge uproar in the chatbox. However, many people felt Mcgee’s kindness, which made their hearts feel a little warmer.
The situation outside could be described as ‘disaster and destruction’.
Many people were displaced and waiting for rescue.
At that moment, Mcgee received countless transaction requests, hoping to help bake food.
Mcgee was also stunned. For a moment, he had the illusion that the system server was about to crash.
After reacting, Mcgee quickly took action.
He understood that his workforce was limited, so he could only do his best. Baking one more portion meant that one more person might live.
“System notification: You have accepted the trade of roasting snake meat. You will receive 20 copper coins upon completion of the trade.”
“System notification: You have accepted the trade of roasting fish meat. You will receive 20 copper coins upon completion of the trade.”
“System notification: You have accepted…”
Time pa.s.sed quickly while he was busy…
The torrential rain outside the house was still falling, but the rain seemed to stop gradually. As a result, the dark sky also slowly became bright.
Gradually.
The downpour turned into torrential rain, turning into a splas.h.i.+ng rain, a drizzle, and finally into a drizzle.
The next morning, there were still three hours left before the maintenance was completed. However, the sky was as clean as a mirror. There were no more thunder, dark clouds, or raindrops.
The whole world seemed to have been cleaned up, and the air was exceptionally fresh.
The endless ocean of water that flooded the land also reduced some of the turbidity.
In the world of floods, the water flow was gentle. Occasionally, there would be a wind, but it would only be a slight wrinkle.
However, on the surface of the water, there were all kinds of messy things floating. There were broken trees, gra.s.s, living things, and corpses…
