Survival in the Mist: From a Dilapidated Wooden Hut to a Heavenly Palace in the Clouds

Before he knew it, Mo Ming had eaten quite a bit of roasted wolf meat and drunk more than 500 milliliters of Disheng Spring water.

A warm sensation arose from within my body and lasted for a few minutes before disappearing.

Mo Ming felt that his physique was somewhat different, especially the feeling of having unusually abundant energy and stamina, which was particularly noticeable.

I checked my personal information on the bracelet, and it's now grayed out?

Is this what a breakthrough feels like?

Looks like I'll have to eat more high-quality meat and drink more holy spring water from now on!

Drop drop!

More news!

Song Yufei: Do you still have any good food? I'd like to make a deal.

Looking at Song Yufei's message, Mo Ming was a little surprised. This little foodie actually had an SSS rating?

You can't judge a foodie by their appearance!

Mo Ming: SSS rating still needs food?

Song Yufei: I don't lack anything, it's just...

Goodness, flour, soybean oil, meat, bok choy, bread, water...

They could be described as extremely wealthy.

Mo Ming: I suspect you're here to show off your wealth!

Song Yufei: What? It's just that I don't know how to make any of these. Looking at this food, all I can do is eat bread and drink cold water. The grilled meat isn't even that good!

Mo Ming: What a waste! Wait for me a moment!

Good guy!

Everyone else is so hungry they'd eat the packaging, but she's complaining about how bad the barbecue tastes.

However, her words reminded Mo Ming that while survival seemed to be no longer a major issue, it was time to consider his quality of life.

So, Mo Ming went to check the building materials for the bathroom and kitchen.

Bronze Kitchen: 800/100 wood, 490/80 stone, 10/5 iron, 15/2 bronze (includes one stove, one large iron pot, one stone cutting board, and one blast furnace rack)

Bronze Toilet: 490/20 Stone, 5/20 Plastic, 0/10 Glass, 15/1 Bronze (Includes one toilet, automatically connected to the Misty World's drainage system, and one shower system; you need to fill it with water yourself)

The bathroom was still missing plastic and glass as building materials, but Mo Ming quickly obtained them through the trading platform, spending a total of 50 wood.

With the materials ready, Mo Ming built it without hesitation and placed it on the remaining open space opposite the bronze hall.

The black soil that was originally stored was temporarily moved by Mo Ming to the bronze hall.

It must be said that the bronze version is expensive for a reason. The entire shelter is currently 49 square meters, with the bronze hall occupying 34 square meters, the kitchen 7 square meters, the toilet 6 square meters, and the remaining 2 square meters occupied by the double-beast square well and the entrance to the constant temperature cellar.

Looking at the facilities in front of him, Mo Ming was extremely pleased, especially the bathroom, where he would finally no longer have to use a bag to relieve himself in the room.

It also has a shower system with both hot and cold water, it's simply perfect.

The problem is that water is hard to come by; we'll have to think of a solution.

Without indulging in excessive revelry, Mo Ming tidied up the kitchen briefly and placed the small gray-white iron pot he had acquired earlier on the blast furnace rack. Wasn't that just a large ladle?

Then he placed the large iron pot on the matching stove, prepared the wood, and arranged the remaining ingredients in the corner of the kitchen. Mo Ming prepared to start cooking.

Mo Ming: Let's make a deal! Give me your flour, soybean oil, and bok choy, and I'll make you a bowl of noodles every day. Of course, I'll eat a bowl too, as a processing fee, until the flour runs out. How about it? Anyway, you can't cook, so it's just sitting there.

Song Yufei: Really? You're not lying to me, are you?

Mo Ming sent a picture directly, including images of wolf meat, beef, and donkey meat.

Mo Ming: I wouldn't be so greedy as to covet your meager food.

As for why Mo Ming was so enthusiastic, it was certainly not because he was lustful at first sight, especially since he had never even met the real person.

The main reason is that Mo Ming also craved noodles.

Song Yufei thought about it and agreed. What SSS-level person would go to such lengths to cheat her out of such a small amount of flour and soybean oil?

Song Yufei: Okay!

So he handed everything over to Mo Ming.

And Mo Ming...

Mo Ming: Please wait a moment, I'll go process it now.

After sending the message, I went straight into the kitchen and started making noodles.

Meanwhile, Song Yufei sat in front of the stove, waiting eagerly.

after an hour.

Mo Ming finally cooked a pot of noodles, using about a quarter of the flour.

Mo Ming: Do you have a bowl? A pot will also work, anything that can hold noodles.

Song Yufei: You're finally done! If you hadn't sent a message, I would have thought you'd absconded with the money!

Mo Ming smiled slightly as he read Song Yufei's message.

Mo Ming: We're a conscientious business owner. The main problem is that we don't have suitable kitchen utensils here, so rolling out noodles takes a while.

Song Yufei: ...

Then, Song Yufei sent over a small wooden bucket, about 2 liters in size.

This is... a glutton?

Mo Ming: You eat with this?

Song Yufei: What's wrong? I'm willing. Hurry up and serve me noodles, I'm starving.

Mo Ming was both amused and exasperated.

Then he divided the noodles into two portions, placing one portion in a wooden bucket with a few bok choy leaves on top. Mo Ming then opened the only can of ribbonfish, placed a few pieces on top, cut off a small piece of roasted donkey meat, arranged it on a plate, and sent it to Song Yufei.

Mo Ming found Song Yufei's trust invaluable. Although he had proven to her that he was not lacking in food, what if he was really lying to her?

Don't forget, this is a world shrouded in mist, where greed, deception, and betrayal will be the norm for human nature.

At least Mo Ming couldn't trust others as easily as she did.

Sigh, I don't know if this woman is stupid or just plain silly, she trusts people so easily.

Despite thinking this way, Mo Ming did not underestimate her at all. Was he joking? She was an SSS-level, good luck was one thing, but her strength was definitely there too.

Of course, Mo Ming doesn't completely trust her, but at least for now, he gets along with her quite well.

When Song Yufei received the steaming noodles from Mo Ming, her eyes widened, especially when she saw the unfamiliar pieces of meat on top; her mouth watered.

A short while later, a message came in; it was a video call invitation!

Without thinking too much, I just clicked "accept".

After all, the two sides are separated by an unknown distance, perhaps even tens of thousands of miles, so there's nothing to worry about.

"Wow! Mo Ming, you're amazing! The noodles are so delicious! And the ribbonfish, is it canned?"

In the video, Song Yufei is slurping noodles.

They ate and talked at the same time.

Mo Ming was also eating noodles. Since he didn't have a bowl, he made a pair of simple chopsticks out of wood and ate directly from the iron pot.

Mo Ming looked up and was stunned the moment he saw Song Yufei. What kind of divine beauty was this?

Especially when paired with rimless gold-rimmed glasses, she exudes a goddess-like aura!

But soon, Mo Ming came to his senses.

"Hey, you little glutton, you're not bad looking at all. Come on, give me a smile!"
