Drinking Soup (2)
"How are they divided? Shouldn't level seven be divided into seven parts?" Ye Lang asked, and he believed that many people would ask the same question, since this common way of saying it makes people used to it.
"It's not like that! Ordinary wild beasts, one point; hard-to-catch wild beasts, two points; Devil Beast below level five, three points; those above level five, five points; Earth Grade, fifty points; Heaven-level, one hundred points; and extra points depending on the situation," Li Yue said.
For some people, Devil Beast below the Earth Grade are actually no different from ordinary wild animals, and these people's strength has naturally reached the Earth Grade.
This five-point difference is actually a matter of luck; encountering such a Devil Beast is simply good fortune.
Furthermore, although the strength ranking of Devil Beast is also based on the same method, it is not too difficult for a level nine human to kill Level 9 Magic Beast, because Devil Beast are just Devil Beast and lack human intelligence.
"Heavenly level, Earth Grade, how could those kinds of Devil Beast possibly appear here..." Ye Lang said casually.
"Yes, the chances of encountering Devil Beast here are already very low. It's already quite good if Devil Beast appears at all, and high-level Devil Beast are almost non-existent. We don't know what kind of luck we had to encounter a high-level one." Li Yue said calmly, looking at the soup in the pot.
"Of course it's good luck, I'm a lucky star," Ye Lang said casually. If Li Yue knew that he was Ye Lang, she would definitely nod, but now, Li Yue ignored him.
After a long time, the soup in the pot began to emit an enticing aroma. During this time, Ye Lang and Li Yue chatted casually about various things, mostly trivial matters, just to pass the time.
Li Yue didn't seem to be in a hurry to go hunting, perhaps because she didn't really care about the ranking; she was simply enjoying the process.
If Li Yue wasn't in a hurry, Ye Lang wouldn't be either, so he let the soup continue to simmer and release its aroma.
In the end, Li Yue went to serve the soup first; otherwise, Ye Lang would probably have waited another half hour to speak...
"This soup is pretty good!"
When Li Yue drank the soup, she suddenly realized that it was quite fragrant. Although it didn't have complicated ingredients, it had a light and refreshing taste that left a lasting impression.
"Of course, look who cooked it!" Ye Lang unceremoniously claimed the credit, looking quite smug.
"Why do you seem more like a shameless person than a Fox Tribe to me?" Li Yue said irritably, then continued drinking her soup.
"I'm not Fox Tribe! Besides, I have a sense of shame!" Ye Lang said seriously.
"..."
Li Yue shook her head. She found talking to Ye Lang exhausting, which was both funny and frustrating. However, he was indeed not Fox Tribe. The Fox Family were Orcs who had been mixed with Human Race for several generations.
"Alright, let's keep going!"
After eating and drinking their fill and tidying up, Li Yue stood up and said to Ye Lang that at this point, they naturally needed to go deeper inside.
There shouldn't be any prey around here. This is the territory of the Dire Wolf, and other wild animals won't appear in his territory.
"You go first, I'll catch up later. I'll tidy up a bit more; leaving any embers behind is a serious matter!" Ye Lang said.
"What's there to clean up? It's all cleaned up. The fire has been washed away with water, how could it still be there!" Li Yue said, she was certain that she had put out the fire.
"Okay, actually I need to poop!" Ye Lang said casually.
"..." Li Yue's face turned red instantly.
"Hmph! If you want it, just say so. I'm going to the front now!" Li Yue blushed and walked forward without looking back at Ye Lang.
Ye Lang immediately disappeared into the nearby woods, seemingly to take care of something important.
If Li Yue had followed him in, she would have discovered that Ye Lang wasn't actually doing that kind of thing; he was simply delivering the pot of wolf meat soup to a young girl.
"Little Five, Little Five, come out and have some soup!" Ye Lang called out to Cold-Blooded Fifth as he entered the woods.
"Go to hell!! If you have something to do, do it your way!" Cold-Blooded Fifth responded angrily. Clearly, she thought Ye Lang needed to defecate, and now she was asking her to drink soup.
"What do you need me to do? I just wanted to give you some soup, it's still warm. I lied to her and she left, she won't find out."
"Lying to her? You really just wanted to give me soup?" Cold-Blooded Fifth asked blankly.
"Hmm! I know you have food, but hot food tastes better, come out and eat!" Ye Lang nodded, and after he finished speaking, Cold-Blooded Fifth emerged from the darkness and appeared in front of him.
Cold-Blooded Fifth didn't say anything, and directly picked up the soup from Ye Lang's hand and started drinking it.
"How about it? It's a little worse than yours, but it doesn't matter! We can't let you show up right now, so just bear with it for a while." Ye Lang said with a smile as he sat on the ground.
"This soup is very good!" Cold-Blooded Fifth said coldly, but her heart was warm. She did not expect that Ye Lang would think of her and save her a bowl of soup.
Although the soup didn't taste as good as the one she made herself, the feeling it conveyed was different. It contained Ye Lang's special seasonings and the flavor of warm care.
"Alright, I'm leaving! We'll go out for a late-night snack after she falls asleep!" Ye Lang got up and left after watching Cold-Blooded Fifth finish eating. He had to catch up with Li Yue, who was still within their control.
"Silly girl!" Cold-Blooded Fifth called softly, her tone no longer cold but slightly gentle, before disappearing into the darkness.
"Miss Li Yue, I'm here!" Ye Lang caught up with Li Yue and said.
"Have you washed your hands?" Li Yue asked casually.
"Wash your hands?" Ye Lang was stunned, and for a moment he did not react.
"You didn't even wash your hands?!" Li Yue's face darkened.
"Oh, you mean that? Of course I washed my hands. You have to wash your hands before meals and after using the toilet. Do you think I'm one of those dirty people?" Ye Lang suddenly remembered his excuse.
"Hmph!" Li Yue snorted and didn't say anything. Although she didn't see whether Ye Lang had washed his hands or not, based on what she had seen Ye Lang do when he slaughtered the Dire Wolf, she knew that Ye Lang was a clean person and not sloppy.
And so, Ye Lang and Li Yue continued walking, going deeper and deeper into the area, where they encountered more prey. This gave Li Yue the opportunity to showcase her archery skills.
After killing the wolf for the first time, Ye Lang didn't hunt any more prey. He was too lazy to do it himself. Anyway, with Li Yue around, she could take care of things in no time, so it wasn't his turn to go.
After a day, Ye Lang and Li Yue's group had accumulated fifty points, which was not much, but not little either. The points were tallied every day and a list was compiled.
