Braised Beef Noodles (Not the Kang Shuaifu Version)

'Sure enough, if I use the information gap to fool them, they can't see through my lies at all.'

Chen Xiyi looked at Wu Xiu, who was panting and embarrassed not far away.

As for how Chen Xiyi knew this, it was clearly indicated in the game log.

**You and your friend: Wu Xiu, a scholar, work together, favorability +1, current favorability: 1 star**

Although the favorability level hadn't upgraded, it had indeed increased.

'This favorability seems to cover a wide range, or perhaps no other modules have been made yet?'

Wu Xiu had contributed nearly 90 units of soil, 30 units of stone, and 1 unit of iron to Chen Xiyi. This was quite impressive, especially the 1 unit of iron, which was a pleasant surprise. Chen Xiyi's homeland had long exhausted its iron ore, and this unit was a fortuitous find, unearthed by Wu Xiu's efforts. Wu Xiu's speed in digging far outpaced Chen Xiyi's, who mainly stood around reading while Wu Xiu labored.

The scholars in Dali Kingdom didn't seem to practice the six arts like those in Chen Xiyi's previous life. They were more like bookish scholars with no practical skills. Wu Xiu, after digging for a long time, showed signs of hunger and fatigue in his status bar, with his health even dropping by 2%.

Chen Xiyi, seeing this, took out a bowl of braised beef noodles from his inventory and handed it to Wu Xiu.

**Braised Beef Noodles**

**Saturation +150**

**Slow recovery of HP**

Cooked food generally had two attributes: one increased satiety, and the other appeared randomly.

"I see you are hungry, have something to eat," Chen Xiyi said with a smile.

Wu Xiu, enticed by the aroma, hesitated. "It's better for the Immortal to eat first. I'm not hungry yet."

Just then, his stomach growled, making him even more embarrassed.

This bowl of braised beef noodles was serious fare, with large pieces of beef and a rich soup base, unlike instant noodles. The noodles were chewy, the beef tender, and the broth full of flavor.

"Eat. You collect earth and rocks for me to refine the divine soil. You can't work on an empty stomach. This is food I brought; ordinary people have no chance to eat it," Chen Xiyi said convincingly.

He couldn't have Wu Xiu unable to work due to hunger and fatigue. Treating his helpers well was necessary.

"Thank you, Immortal," Wu Xiu said, finally accepting the noodles.

What really convinced Wu Xiu was Chen Xiyi's claim that it was food from the gods, making him eager to try it. He sipped the soup, and the delicious, sour, and hot taste revitalized him. With just one mouthful, his fatigue and hunger vanished, and most of his previous soreness disappeared.

'This must be a divine food. Just one sip of noodle soup eliminated all my fatigue and hunger.'

This immediate satiety and slow HP recovery filled Wu Xiu's health bar. Chen Xiyi found the effect unexpectedly potent, or perhaps Wu Xiu's HP was simply low.

Wu Xiu's fatigue and hunger vanished, replaced with energy and slow health recovery.

Wu Xiu eagerly ate the noodles, finding them the most delicious he had ever tasted. No restaurant in Lingqu City made noodles this good. The bowl and chopsticks disappeared after he finished, surprising Wu Xiu. He assumed gods didn't need to wash dishes.

"This bowl of noodles has revitalized me, Immortal," Wu Xiu said, wiping his mouth. He then resumed working with the wooden pickaxe, feeling full of energy.

"As long as you like it. I was worried you wouldn't be used to it," Chen Xiyi said with concern.

Although Wu Xiu's contributions were modest, Chen Xiyi appreciated his efforts and had no problem providing meals.

Chen Xiyi needed a lot of non-renewable resources, especially soil, which could be used to create coal, and coal and stone to make iron ore. But he needed a laboratory for synthesis.

The essential facilities in his home included a workbench, furnace, and workshop. The laboratory, however, was special. It could synthesize and transform materials and enchant weapons, armor, and tools.

Unfortunately, the laboratory required too many resources. Chen Xiyi had exhausted all non-renewable resources at home but couldn't gather enough.

For now, the laboratory was converted into a large kitchen, allowing Chen Xiyi to get delicious food daily, as long as he provided the ingredients.

"The food given by the Immortal is naturally delicious," Wu Xiu said hastily.

The two chatted while working, with Wu Xiu mostly talking and Chen Xiyi listening. Wu Xiu's newfound energy made him work much faster.

"Wu Xiu~Where are you~"

"Master, come out quickly."

Sudden shouts interrupted them, causing Wu Xiu to pause.

Chen Xiyi noticed and asked, "Are they looking for you?"

"Yes, Immortal," Wu Xiu replied.
