Frost Ice Studio

Recalling his first death in his past life, which was also due to forgetting the time while searching for Electric Eels in the river, Lu Yang smiled wryly and complained about the game developers before continuing to swim towards the bottom of the river.

He hadn't even swam down five meters when Lu Yang saw a school of small fish swimming over, with an Electric Eel among them.

Lu Yang took out his harpoon, aimed, and threw it with a whoosh, accurately hitting the Electric Eel.

System Notification: You have caught an Electric Eel.

After putting the Electric Eel in his backpack, Lu Yang continued searching the riverbed.

On the riverbank, the crowd saw Lu Yang jump into the water. A warrior player asked curiously, "Are there monsters to fight in the water? I'll go take a look too."

A rogue on the same team sneered, "Don't be stupid. So many people have already searched the riverbed. Besides some level 0 fish that don't give experience, there's nothing else."

The warrior player said "Oh," and looked mockingly at the spot where Lu Yang had jumped in, laughing loudly, "That idiot, he thinks he's found a new leveling spot. He's so dumb."

The surrounding people all laughed along.

Two minutes later, Lu Yang emerged from the river, waited for his gray bar to refill, and then dove back into the water.

During his last dive, Lu Yang caught a total of twenty-two Electric Eels. Although he had already exceeded the number required by the quest, he decided to catch more while fewer people knew about the quest so that he could immediately cook Crispy Electric Eel Meat after obtaining the cooking recipe.

And so, Lu Yang continued to dive, surface, dive, and surface in the curious gazes of the people on the riverbank, alternating more than thirty times. Just as the crowd on the riverbank was about to go into the water to see what Lu Yang was doing, he finally walked ashore.

The warrior player who had mocked Lu Yang earlier asked curiously, "Is there anything down there?"

Lu Yang pretended to be annoyed and said, "Damn it, I wasted so much time. There wasn't a single monster at the bottom of the river."

The crowd burst into laughter.

Lu Yang looked at the crowd and sneered inwardly, With you guys being happy at other people's misfortune, I'm not going to tell you about this quest.

Too lazy to bother with these people, Lu Yang ran back to Bredeman and handed him ten pieces of Electric Eel Meat, asking, "Is this the Electric Eel Meat you need?"

Bredeman was overjoyed to receive the Electric Eel Meat from Lu Yang, excitedly saying, "That's right, this is it! Oh, my dear friend, you've done me a great favor. I want to thank you. Here's the recipe for Crispy Electric Eel Meat, please accept it."

System Notification: You have obtained the Crispy Electric Eel Meat Recipe (Gold Grade)

Finally obtaining the recipe, Lu Yang quickly used it.

System Notification: You have learned Novice Cooking.
System Notification: You have learned how to cook Crispy Electric Eel Meat.

Due to Second World's ultra-high simulation degree, even after learning the recipe, you still need to do it yourself to cook, so cooking can also fail.

Fortunately, Lu Yang had made this Crispy Electric Eel Meat recipe so many times in his past life that he was sick of it, so he had a very accurate grasp of the cooking method.

Lighting a bonfire at the city gate, Lu Yang took out the Electric Eel Meat and began to cook.

System Notification:
You have cooked a portion of Crispy Electric Eel Meat, Cooking Proficiency +1
You have cooked a portion of Crispy Electric Eel Meat, Cooking Proficiency +1
You have cooked a portion of Crispy Electric Eel Meat, Cooking Proficiency +1
...

Before long, Lu Yang had cooked over 600 portions of Crispy Electric Eel Meat, almost filling his entire backpack. He took one out to taste it.

"It's been more than three years since I last ate it, and it still has that disgusting smell."

Second World's simulation degree reached 99.9%, even imitating the sense of taste. Although every dish simulated the ultimate delicacy in the real world, eating too much of even the most delicious thing would make you sick. Lu Yang had eaten tens of thousands of these in his past life, and now even the smell made him queasy.

After eating for 8 seconds, Lu Yang stood up with a buff on his head.

Crispy Electric Eel Meat: Increases Intelligence by 5 points, 8 Mana/5 seconds

"Heavens, a level 0 cooking item actually comes with 2 buffs."

"The recovery amount per second is also 7 Health and 12 Mana, which is three times more than the low-quality black bread we buy from the system."

"This recipe is at least Silver grade, maybe even Gold grade!"

As Lu Yang cooked, players gradually gathered around. So many people had accepted the quest, but he was the only one who had completed it. Everyone was curious about how he did it, especially after seeing the effects of the Electric Eel Meat, they were even more surprised.

While they were discussing, a beautiful player in a deep blue mage robe, surrounded by a dozen players, walked through the crowd and came to Lu Yang.

"Hello, I'm Xia Yuwei from Frost Ice Studio," the beautiful player said.

Lu Yang, who was cooking, was stunned. He didn't expect to encounter someone from Frost Ice Studio again in this life.

In his past life, Frost Ice Studio grew very large, but it was only a small team at the beginning. Frost Ice Studio truly grew after the exchange between real-world and game currency was opened half a month later. Lu Yang also became one of Frost Ice Studio's first gold farmers at that time, and he had some interactions with Xia Yuwei in front of him.

Lu Yang raised his head and looked at Xia Yuwei, discovering that this beauty was as beautiful as she was in his past life. Although her expression was a bit aloof, it was undeniable that she was a top-tier beauty. However, Lu Yang preferred Lan Yu, who stood beside Xia Yuwei and was just as beautiful, but with a pure aura on her face.

Lu Yang had many interactions with Lan Yu when he was in Frost Ice Studio in his past life. Later, after Lu Yang became an expert, he helped Lan Yu many times, and the two became very close. However, their relationship only went that far. Lu Yang had someone he liked in real life and only regarded Lan Yu as a little sister.

Although he knew why she was here, Lu Yang finished cooking the Crispy Electric Eel Meat in his hand before standing up and looking at Xia Yuwei, asking, "What's the matter?"

Lu Yang's calm attitude surprised Xia Yuwei. So far, none of the men she had met had been able to remain so calm and composed, which made Xia Yuwei look at Lu Yang with new eyes.

"How did you complete this quest? Can you tell me?" Xia Yuwei asked.

Lu Yang smiled. To be honest, he had never thought about telling others how to complete the Crispy Electric Eel Meat recipe quest. If his opponents obtained it, it would increase their leveling speed by a notch.
