I'm speechless! You want me to drive a baby stroller on the highway to survive?

Urged by Wang Qiao, Lu Youyou bound the two items together.

Wang Qiao had no ill intentions towards her; in fact, he was overly kind to her.

Lu Youyou felt a little embarrassed.

She figured there was nothing in her backpack that could match the value of those two items, so she thought of the energy fragments.

"Wang Qiao," Lu Youyou called softly.

"Ok?"

"Do you have a weapon?" Lu Youyou asked.

"You want to give me energy fragments?"

Lu Youyou pursed her lips; Wang Qiao always seemed to be able to guess what she was thinking.

"I'm lucky. If you have it, how could I not have it? You don't need to give it to me. I have a decomposer that can decompose treasure chests myself."

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Wang Qiao silently recited what he wanted to release, and two blue energy fragments appeared in front of him.

Lu Youyou immediately recognized it as a high-grade blue energy fragment.

The higher the level of the energy fragment, the brighter its light.

"Since you also have a decomposer, you should know what it is, so I won't go into too much detail. Here you go."

Holding the two high-grade blue energy fragments, Lu Youyou was momentarily speechless, unsure of what to say.

Why would a complete stranger give me so many nice things just because I'm a woman?

That sounds so magical.

Why... are you so good to me?

Wang Qiao's expression remained calm and composed as she said indifferently, "Who told you to be the first woman I met before my birthday?"

"When is your birthday?"

Wang Qiao laughed heartily: "What, are you going to celebrate my birthday?"

Wang Qiao guessed what she was thinking again, and Lu Youyou shrugged: "How boring, you guessed it again."

"Don't celebrate my birthday, I won't be able to..."

She spoke the last sentence very softly.

Lu Youyou only knew that Wang Qiao spoke, but she couldn't hear what she was saying.

He asked again, "What?"

Wang Qiao smiled with relief: "It's nothing. My birthday is in three days. My favorite color is pink. Remember to make me a pink cake as soon as possible."

"it is good."

For some reason, even though they had only spent such a short time together, Lu Youyou deeply believed that Wang Qiao would not hurt her.

Because she is so much better than me.

If someone weaker than herself tries to please her in every way, she will suspect that the other person has ulterior motives.

But Wang Qiao... has absolutely no need to please himself.

Lu Youyou remembered the novel she had read before. Wang Qiao should be the old man in the ring in the novel.

They were kind people who helped her grow up, and simply because they liked her, they gave her nice things.

"Wang Qiao, thank you so much. Without you, I wouldn't have had the luck to get so many good items."

"Actually, you're quite lucky. You're a woman, and the first woman to meet me. If only..."

"what?"

"nothing."

Lu Youyou crossed her arms and glanced at her sideways: "You always say things in half-truths, it's really annoying."

"Yes, I've always been..."

Lu Youyou interrupted her reminiscence: "Stop talking about it. Let bygones be bygones. I was just teasing you. I didn't mean to say you were annoying."

"Hmph, I know. Are you still going to eat hot pot? My stomach is practically empty."

"Eat, I also grow vegetables on the roof, add some that cook quickly."

Wang Qiao suggested, "Then let's skip the self-heating hot pot. I happen to have an iron pot, so let's have a proper hot pot and use the broth from your self-heating hot pot."

"Okay."

After a flurry of activity, the two came down with the ingredients they had prepared.

Compared to Lu Youyou's vegetables and chicken breast, Wang Qiao's beef rolls, beef aorta, tripe, eggs, and other items seemed to be ingredients specifically prepared for hot pot.

It was unbelievably lavish.

Seeing this, Lu Youyou felt a little embarrassed.

I originally wanted to treat Wang Qiao to hot pot, but now it seems like I've been the one benefiting from it all along.

"First, boil a pot of water, make a few poached eggs for your little black dog, and then add hot pot broth. Dogs shouldn't eat too much seasoning."

As Wang Qiao spoke, seeing Lu Youyou staring blankly, he nudged her with his elbow: "Did you hear that?"

"I heard you. Actually, I have an electric cooker, which can be used to steam buns separately."

"No need. We agreed to have hot pot, so your pet can eat with us. It's just a pity I don't have a divided pot. What are you standing there for? Come on, help out! Wash the vegetables and dishes, or don't you have any water?"

“I have some, I need to wash it in the car.”

"Never mind then, you can stay with me a little longer. I can pull down the water pipe and use my water."

"it is good."

Lu Youyou noticed that the chopsticks, plates, and dishes that Wang Qiao took out were only different shades of pink, and there were no other colors.

She really loves pink.

……

After finishing their hot pot meal, the two cleaned up the pots and pans together before returning to their respective cars.

At first, Wang Qiao was unwilling, clinging to Lu Youyou and refusing to let her leave.

Lu Youyou used the excuse of taking a nap to get on the bus.

Actually, she planned to collect cake-making tools on the public chat.

However, if you collect items in the public chat, Wang Qiao might see it because it's too targeted.

So she went to the small group.

[Player 6666: Xiao Yang and Yuning, do you have anything to make a cake?]

[Zhang Yuning: What you're saying is too broad. Making a cake isn't simple. What are you missing?]

[Yang Yan: I bet she didn't have anything in her hands; a professional baker wouldn't ask that.]

Yang Yan: I have an oven and molds I can lend you. I also grew some fruit; do you need them? Fruit can't be lent out; you can only buy it.

[Zhang Yuning: I have an egg beater, eggs, flour, granulated sugar, and other ingredients. What size cake do you want to make? I'll give you the proportions.]

[Player 6666: I want to make a pink cake, and the fruit should be strawberries, right? It only needs to be a single serving. How many eggs and how much flour should I use?]

Yang Yan: I didn't grow strawberries, but I've harvested some. I can sell you half a pound of strawberries. As for the price, you can give me half a pound of vegetables in return.

[Zhang Yuning: You saved my dad, you're the savior of our whole family. A cake for one person doesn't need many ingredients, so I won't accept your supplies.]

Lu Youyou first traded half a pound of chives for half a pound of strawberries from Yang Yan, and also received the oven and molds that Yang Yan had lent her.

However, Zhang Yuning was a stubborn man. He was convinced of the life-saving grace and refused to accept Lu Youyou's supplies no matter what she said.

Lu Youyou sighed.

She always remembered the golden treasure chest that Zhang Weimin had given her for free.

It was because of that golden treasure chest that she learned that golden fragments could increase the number of inventory slots.

Although Zhang Weimin may not know the importance of that box now, she does.

Looking at the neatly packaged flour, eggs, sugar, and other ingredients in front of her, Lu Youyou opened the workbench.

Fuse the intermediate-level panacea pill with the advanced-level blue energy fragment.
