Quick Transmigration: Pangu is Actually My Brother

Chapter 557 Wasteland Scavenging Chronicle (1)

After taking a sip of water, Wangyou felt a little better and continued with the testing.

"Beep! Moderate radiation dandelion, can be used in appropriate amounts."

"Beep! Highly radioactive purslane, not for consumption."

"Beep! Low-radiation edible wild eggs, can be consumed in large quantities."

After checking everything along the way, Wangyou received a good amount of goods. As it was getting late, she followed the group to the purchasing station. She kept some low-radiation edible vegetable leaves, pheasant meat, and pheasant eggs, and exchanged the rest for points.

After receiving the points, Wangyou bought some more nutrient solution and then went home.

After plucking and cleaning the pheasant, I made a beggar's chicken dish following the recipe in the book. When I took it out, it was cooked, but the taste was indescribable. It was even worse than the nutrient solution she brought today. But even if it tasted bad, I couldn't waste it.

Finally, Wangyou finished off a strangely-tasting chicken with a blank expression. Back in the orphanage, she could ask the cafeteria lady to cook it for her, but now that she'd left, everyone she met outside was a competitor. She didn't dare ask anyone to cook the meat for her; it might be like throwing a meat bun to a dog—gone and never to be returned.

In the following days, Wangyou stopped trying to cook and instead drank the nutrient solution directly.

Every time Wangyou sold the low-radiation food to the recycling station, she felt particularly heartbroken. These low-radiation ingredients contained special energy, but unfortunately, she wasn't cut out to cook.

Although the nutrient solution that Wangyou bought was of relatively good quality, it was only made by mixing a small amount of low-radiation food with medium-radiation food, and its energy content was far less than that of eating low-radiation food.

Wangyou thought to herself that she should find a cook who was obedient, good-looking, and could cook delicious food, but it seemed that such a person was not easy to find.

Even if it's hard to find, I'll still find it; I really don't want to consume too much of this nutrient solution.

Despite her complaints, Wangyou didn't miss a single item of the supplies she needed to find. Why didn't heaven give her a pair of hands to cook? There were so many delicious dishes in the book, but she could only look at them.

"Oh God, I wonder if you could send me a cook who is good at cooking, obedient, and good-looking." Wangyou, feeling dizzy from the test, suddenly looked up at the sky and sighed.

The others glanced at it uninterestedly and went back to examining the vegetable leaves.

After shouting, Wangyou felt much less upset. She then lowered her head and continued to struggle with the wild vegetables. When she had almost finished, Wangyou got up, picked up her basket, and went deeper into the wild.

Compared to digging for wild vegetables, it's faster to gain points by hunting strange beasts. Besides, she also needs to stockpile firewood, as the winters here are tough. Every year, countless people freeze to death, and she doesn't want to freeze to death herself.

Moreover, although most of the meat of the exotic beasts is highly radioactive and inedible, their fur is very warm. Wangyou plans to hunt more to prepare for the winter.

She has accumulated quite a few points now, and she should consider buying a courtyard to live in. That way, she can try growing vegetables in the courtyard, although there is a high chance they won't survive. But how will she know if she doesn't try? If all else fails, she can dig some out of her Peach Blossom Spring space and mix it with the wasteland.

Today's harvest: a few wild vegetable leaves, two large mutant rabbits, and one mutant pheasant. Not bad.

Wangyou didn't go to the purchasing station. Instead, she carried the rabbits and pheasants back to her own home. Then, she skillfully took out a knife and skinned the two rabbits completely. She then examined their meat and looked for any animal cores.

Fortunately, all three beasts had beast cores, so her hard work was worthwhile.

All of this meat was low-radiation and safe to eat in large quantities. Wangyou reluctantly cut off half for herself and took the rest to the purchasing station to exchange for other goods. There was no shortage of market for low-radiation meat.

After successfully obtaining the points, Wangyou went to the real estate transaction area, intending to buy herself a small courtyard.

After careful selection, Wangyou chose a courtyard house that was far away from the crowd and relatively secluded. It was a two-courtyard house with a wall about two meters high, which could block the view of many people.

After finalizing the deal, Wangyou bargained and finally bought the courtyard for 18,000 points.

It's worth it, though, because this courtyard has a protective array, but it requires beast cores to activate. She has quite a few beast cores, which is more than enough for her needs.

I spent some time moving myself to a new place, and then took out two animal hides to process them. After finishing, I was covered in filth, so I quickly boiled water and took a bath.

The next day, Wangyou didn't go out to gather food. Instead, she started to tidy up the yard and created a small vegetable garden for herself. She even built a greenhouse. Whether she could grow anything or not was another matter, but the setup was impressive.

After repairing his home, Wangyou went out to gather more food and firewood, and gradually, winter arrived.

When it snows in winter, most people stay indoors and hibernate, but a few still venture out.

In the quiet night, snow fell heavily. When Wangyou woke up the next day, the snow outside was already a meter thick. Luckily, she had turned on the protective shield before going to bed, so the snow did not fall into the yard, otherwise she would have had to clean it up herself.

Wangyou didn't even think about going out to pave a way or anything, because she actually found a big bag of hot pot base in the warehouse of Peach Blossom Space. She decided to follow the instructions in the book to cook hot pot. As long as she didn't add anything indiscriminately, the base was edible.

As expected, she poured some water into the pot, then ran to her spatial storage to pick some vegetables, and sliced ​​the frozen rabbit, mutton, and beef into pieces. Eating like this was incredibly satisfying.

Once she was happy with what she had eaten, Wangyou started rummaging through her space to see if she could find anything else that she could eat without having to lift a finger.

As it turned out, she was overthinking things; there was nothing there. Furious, Wangyou picked a peach and started eating it. Only after she finished eating did she feel a little better.

Looking at the pitiful seven packets of hot pot ingredients, she realized that even if she saved every penny, she could only afford seven meals.

If it weren't for the delicious food, Wangyou could still continue eating the nutrient solution or the meals made by her excellent cooking skills. But after tasting the delicious hot pot, Wangyou felt that the nutrient solution was too unpalatable, and as for her cooking, she thought even a dog wouldn't eat it.

Then, forgetting his sorrow and anger, he turned his appetite into a feast, devouring the meat of a whole mutated rabbit and half a mutated cow before finally resting contentedly on the kang (heated brick bed).

After lying down for a while, I got up again to add some firewood to the stove, then cleaned up what needed to be cleaned up, and carefully put away the remaining hot pot broth. It's a dish you can only eat once a year.

After washing the dishes and tidying up the room, her stomach wasn't so bloated anymore, and Wangyou didn't feel like sleeping anymore, so she just picked up a novel from her spatial storage and started reading.

This space has everything, so why didn't they put in more delicious food?

The wind and snow outside are getting heavier and heavier. I wonder how many more people will die in this snowstorm!
