Chapter 25: A High-Tech Pot

Lin Lei was very lucky because he did not have to rush for hundreds of kilometers back to the seaside; on his way back, there was a small river.

When he came earlier, he was only thinking about seeing the Alien and was too excited to notice the existence of this small river at all.

The river was not wide, about ten meters, but the water was deep, pitch black in color, and the bottom could not be seen.

“Alright, this place is nice. I think this is a very good camping spot.” Lin Lei put down the two beast legs and a woman from his back.

Fuweili, however, did not show any anger at this moment. She looked at a messy passage in the jungle that stretched as far as the eye could see and asked, “Lei, did you make these tracks when you rushed over?” Strangely, there was even a gentle tone in her voice.

This made Lin Lei feel very baffled. Why did she start calling him “Lei,” such an intimate name, and even look so gentle? Could this woman’s brain have been shaken broken by him? It didn’t look like it.

Lin Lei mumbled, “I was in a hurry when I came and didn’t pay attention to these. Probably I did it.”

Sweat, he didn’t think that with his speed and strength, he was just like a human bulldozer, and it would be hard not to create this scene of a gale passing through.

Fuweili looked at Lin Lei and felt he was much more pleasing to the eye.

After all, he was the one who rushed to her side to guard her the first time, and he just saved her life, so she generously forgave him for those small rudenesses and barbarities.

However, Lin Lei’s next sentence immediately made Fuweili extremely depressed.

“Hey, I say, we want to cook meat to eat, but we lack a container. How about borrowing that transparent cover on your head?” This head cover was round, and according to this Alien beauty, it was made of high-strength alloy. It would definitely be the best to use as a pot.

Anyway, if she wants to use it afterwards, it can be washed and worn on the head again. Hmm, my idea is really brilliant.

Fuweili opened her beautiful eyes wide in astonishment, pointing her finger at Lin Lei, unable to speak. He actually said he wanted to take the protective helmet, the crystallization of Apocalypse Star’s high technology, to use as a pot for cooking! This… this was too much!

She thought for a long time in her head but couldn’t find the words to refute.

“What’s wrong? Can’t your head cover withstand high temperatures? That’s impossible.” Lin Lei looked at this woman suspiciously, not knowing what she was up to.

Fuweili rolled her eyes, then took off the round head cover and handed it weakly to Lin Lei: “You take it and use it. It can withstand temperatures of 3000 degrees, but its thermal conductivity is not very good. If you use it as a pot, it might take a long time to cook.”

This man’s thinking was too weird, and he had no awe for high-tech products at all. Fuweili was too lazy to argue with him.

Lin Lei took the head cover, weighed it, and it was nice, quite light, so he said happily: “It’s okay, that’s just right for slow cooking over a gentle fire. The meat cooked this way has flavor. Hmm, there are just no condiments. But it doesn’t matter, it should be much tastier than raw meat.”

Lin Lei moved a few large stones, arranged them into a stove shape, and went to pick up some dry branches and leaves, preparing to start a fire first.

“Fuweili, do you have a lighter on you?” If he could do it simply, Lin Lei didn’t want to trouble himself.

“No, my spaceship accident happened too suddenly. I ran out alone and didn’t bring tools!”

“What about that landing pod? Ugh, I should have gone there to get some tools just now.” Lin Lei regretted it endlessly. That was metal, the best material for making tools!

Fuweili looked at Lin Lei with an incredible look: “Lei, I really suspect you come from an uncivilized planet. As long as the technology is above the Seventh-grade Civilization, the emergency landing pods of Universe ships are all direct energy conversion. They will disintegrate and scatter after a certain time. This should be common knowledge!”

At first, she suspected that Lin Lei was from an eleventh-level civilization, but Lin Lei’s actions were barbaric, rude, and direct, and he had little knowledge of the Universe’s common sense. Except for his terrifying martial power, he was more like someone from an uncivilized civilization. More importantly, he didn’t have that potential arrogance in his bones that people from high-level civilizations had.

Ah oh, Lin Lei knew he had made a junior mistake, but he was very annoyed by Fuweili’s tone. Wasn’t it just developing a bit slowly? How did it become uncivilized!

“I never said I came from a high-level civilization. My race is just a Fourth-grade Civilization!” This was a fact, and Lin Lei never thought of concealing it because it was meaningless.

Four… Fourth-grade, Fuweili didn’t know how many times she was surprised today. She looked Lin Lei up and down.

This man was holding her “pot” in his hand, looking at her seriously, with no humbleness on his face, nor too much excitement. He was just stating a fact to her.

She didn’t know why, but hearing this fact, Fuweili did not look down on Lin Lei at all in her heart. Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief because the halo of the mysterious high-level civilization warrior on him faded.

That’s great! So he wasn’t so out of reach.

Fuweili’s tone immediately softened: “I apologize to you. I’m just used to saying that, and I didn’t mean to look down on other intelligent races.”

Lin Lei waved his hand and said: “There’s nothing to apologize for. My race indeed hasn’t left the mother planet yet.”

The Level 8 Civilization and the eleventh-level civilization were just different. Yan Siyu wouldn’t be so petty, nor would she always keep the civilization level in her mouth.

Level 8 was just like a bottle not full, a half bottle shaking. It was insufficient compared to the top, but more than enough compared to the bottom, just like the Fifth-grade Layite Civilization, making a fuss.

In comparison, the people of the Apocalypse Star might be a little better. At least this Alien knew how to apologize to him.

At this moment, Lin Lei looked coldly at these Universe civilizations, and even looking at Fuweili became less pleasing to the eye.

So for the next period, Lin Lei remained silent. Starting the fire, scooping water, and tearing the meat were all done in silence, completely treating Fuweili as air.

This atmosphere made Fuweili feel very depressed, and she had a feeling that she was about to be abandoned. This was the pure feeling of the weak.

In fact, from the beginning of the contact, this man had been on the absolutely strong side, not only his domineering attitude, but his powerful ability also made Fuweili never truly resist his will.

The civilization level of the race did not bring Fuweili any psychological advantage, nor did it bring this man the slightest inferiority.

He was naturally a strong man, unrelated to the glory of the race.

Fuweili figured out her feelings and thought she had a new and correct understanding of Lin Lei. She smiled and said: “Lei, you won’t just ignore me like this, will you?”

These words carried a coquettish taste, making Fuweili herself not believe she would say such words. Her face was red, but she was looking forward to Lin Lei’s answer.

Lin Lei sat cross-legged by the fire pit, boredly poking the fire pile with a branch. Who told the thermal insulation ability of this helmet to be so good? After a long time, the water inside only started to bubble slightly. It was still a long way to go to cook it to the point of destroying the molecular structure!

At this time, hearing Fuweili’s near-nauseating question, his whole body’s hair stood up unconsciously.

He rubbed his arms, looked up at the delicate and beautiful Fuweili, squinted his eyes, and smiled: “Fuweili, are you seducing me?”

Go to hell! This person always had a way to ignite her anger in an instant. Fuweili only felt her face burning like fire. She stared fiercely at the naked Lin Lei, then turned her head away pretending to be disdainful.

“You narcissist and megalomaniac, I have never seen a man as rude and shameless as you. Can’t you find something to cover your body?” Although it looked good, it couldn’t be a reason for him to be naked!

Fuweili felt her face was so hot it was about to burn. Calm down, calm down, or he would make fun of her again.

Lin Lei laughed loudly: “You mean clothes. I used to have that thing, but it was torn by the beasts here. You know, when I was teleported here, I was only wearing casual clothes, the kind purely woven from plant fibers, not strong at all.”

Fuweili turned around curiously: “Teleportation? What’s going on?” This technology, her civilization was far from reaching, so she couldn’t help being curious.

“Just a story, you don’t need to know. Anyway, I came and saved you today. Don’t forget to return the favor in the future. I have no objection if you promise yourself to me.” Lin Lei didn’t want to mention Yan Siyu. She was too high and too far away!

Fuweili was choked by these words, her blushing cheeks puffed up with anger, and she sat there without speaking.

The two fell into silence again, but were soon interrupted by the scent of meat coming from the pot.

“Haha, pure natural deliciousness. Come, Fuweili, have a taste.” Lin Lei handed her the chopsticks he just made.

He had already started eating. Having been here for so long, this was the first time he ate cooked food. It was delicious!

Although the meat was bland and not salty at all, everything was overcome by the word “fresh”. Lin Lei almost swallowed his own tongue.

This scent made the following “Velociraptor” drool too, staring straight at the delicious food in the pot, but also afraid of the flickering fire under the pot, which really made it restless.

“Eat, what are you doing standing there?”

Fuweili was indeed a little hungry, but looking at the bluish color in the pot, she really didn’t dare to put her mouth to it, although it did smell fragrant.

Also, she couldn’t use the two wooden sticks in her hand well. Although she saw Lin Lei use them very smoothly, when she used them herself, it was a completely different story. It was difficult just to hold them, let alone use them to pick things up.

“This… I can’t use this well.” Fuweili started to doubt her IQ a bit. Her brain was particularly stupid today. She started to wonder if she was the one from the uncivilized civilization.

Lin Lei was amused when he saw this. This Alien started holding one wooden stick in each hand to clamp. She was using the chopsticks as hairpins.

Helplessly, Lin Lei had to teach her hand in hand. Seeing that she was still clumsy in the end, he directly said: “Your hands are too clumsy, you need to practice more. It doesn’t matter if the meat falls on the ground. See that little guy over there? It will be happy to help you dispose of it.”

These words made Fuweili feel ashamed and angry. She directly gave up and painstakingly fished the meat out of the pot, then grabbed it with her hands and gnawed. In the end, she didn’t even use the chopsticks and just used her hands. Anyway, she had the Combat Suit, so she wasn’t afraid of heat or dirt.

The meat tasted okay, at least in the hungry Fuweili’s opinion. So she ate a small half helmet of meat, then satisfiedly patted her stomach and sat aside to rest.

Lin Lei wrapped up the rest. With such a small amount, it only gave him a taste. It was still far from being full.

However, after eating cooked food, Lin Lei didn’t want to gnaw on raw meat either. So, under Fuweili’s astonished gaze, he cooked a full thirteen helmets of meat before wiping his mouth and stopping his crazy eating behavior.

“You… are you full?” Fuweili asked almost numbly. Her protective helmet, she didn’t know if it was still useful.

“Seventy percent full, but I won’t eat anymore. It’s too troublesome to cook. Next time I’ll just roast it.”

“Oh.” Fuweili was completely speechless.

Lin Lei, who was full and satisfied, threw the remaining half leg of meat to the “Velociraptor” waiting on the side, letting it solve it.

Lin Lei looked at this little guy and decided to give it a name. He couldn’t just keep calling it little guy, little guy. It was actually not small, much taller than Lin Lei.

“Then, you look like a Velociraptor, so I’ll call you ‘Mong’.” Lin Lei said to it.

The little guy raised its head, looked at Lin Lei, and acquiesced to this title.
