This Game Is Too Realistic

Chapter 85: Correct Usage of Ya Ya

Acting is better than thinking.

Chu Guang immediately found an axe and chopped the joints of the Crackleclaw Crab's hind legs. A section about the length of a baseball bat came off.

The crab legs felt quite heavy. It was thick and long, and after weighing it, he found that it was actually around 4 kilograms. It should be enough to support two or three people.

The tender crab meat dangled in the crab shell, looking like soft tofu, seemingly full of high-quality protein and fat.

This big guy looked so ugly from the outside, and the mud all over its body looked like it could never be washed clean, but unexpectedly, the crabmeat inside looked so delicious.

It just so happened that it was not lunch time yet, so Chu Guang randomly selected a player passing by and asked him to call Ya Ya into the nursing home.

Before Ya Ya could ask if the administrator had any tasks for her, Chu Guang handed out the crab leg in his hand and showed her the crab meat.

"Is it edible?"

Ya Ya was confused, but she still nodded.

"Uh, probably?"

She didn't see the green light.

However, she still couldn’t be sure.

Chu Guang, who has always acted cautiously, continued in a commanding tone.

"Take a bite."

That look radiated a feeling like he was bestowing a gift to her.

It was the same look that NPCs guarding the resurrection point had in other games.

But the gifted player didn't think so.

Seeing that the Administrator was about to stuff the crab leg into her mouth, Ya Ya quickly backed up and waved her hand, not knowing whether she should laugh or cry.

"Wait, wait a minute! This is raw! At least let me cook it first." She didn't dislike the administrator's tough attitude; after all, he wasn't a real person.

‘Huh!’

‘Why do you care so much about it in a game?’

‘If I ask you to eat it then just open your mouth and eat it.’

Chu Guang didn't expect this player to be so cautious. After he thought about it, he felt that what she said seemed to make sense.

Freshwater crabs are different from deep-sea crabs. There are many parasites in the freshwater environment, so it is not advisable to eat them raw.

After all, being non-toxic doesn't mean that you won't have diarrhea after eating, but that you won't die after eating it for a while. This is like no matter how high your physique is, there is no need to pick up dirty things from the ground to eat, right?

Thinking of this, Chu Guang no longer insisted, but changed his thoughts.

"I have a task for you."

"Wh, what task?"

Ya Ya's face was full of suspiciousness and alertness, feeling that the task said by the administrator sounded very fishy.

However, Chu Guang didn't bother to explain, instead just shoving the baseball-bat-length crab leg into her hand.

"The content of the task is very simple. First of all, you need to cook this crab leg… Here are 2 copper coins. Take it to the warehouse to buy some charcoal."

It seems that this task needs to be triggered step by step.

Although Ya Ya was suspicious, as a player, she couldn't resist the temptation of the "exclusive mission" in the end. She took the 2 copper coins as a "mission item" given by Chu Guang and ran to the warehouse to buy charcoal.

Soon, Ya Ya returned with the charcoal she had just bought.

She was very careful to find an air-tight empty room on the first floor of the nursing home, squatting on the corner of the wall and enclosing a small circle with stones.

Then she put the charcoal on, lit a fire, hummed a song and started grilling the crab leg.

While Ya Ya grilled the crab leg, the thoughts of Chu Guang, who was waiting bored at the door of the room, couldn't help but drift away.

‘Speaking of which, why can mutant cockroaches not be eaten, but crabs can? Aren't they both mutants?’

‘Maybe…’

‘They are actually edible?’

‘It's just that no one has tried it.’

After being puzzled, his gaze drifted towards Ya Ya's back unconsciously.

By coincidence, the shell of the crab leg on the fire cracked all of sudden.

The sudden sound startled Ya Ya who was concentrating on grilling the crab leg. Her neck and shoulders shrank back reflexively, but she didn't notice someone's bad intentions.

Chu Guang walked into the room and looked at the crab leg in her hands.

The mud-green crab shell was grilled into a circle of black wax red, and there was a small crack in the center of the shell.

White water vapor and air bubbles came out from the crack, wrapped in the scent that had been stuffed in the shell for a long time, and overflowed the whole room in an instant.

"Wow... it smells so good."

Ya Ya sniffed and swallowed greedily.

Speaking of which, this looks better than king crab.

The point was that she had eaten king crab before, but she has never eaten this!

"Has it been cooked?"

Hearing the urging behind her, Ya Ya realized that she was still on the mission and quickly stood up with the crab leg.

"Dear administrator, I have completed the task you assigned!"

"Very good."

Taking the cooked crab leg from Ya Ya, Chu Guang waited for it to become less hot, and broke it into two halves in the middle, then gave her half.

"Eat it."

"Yes!"

Who would refuse cooked delicious food?

Ya Ya obediently took the crab leg with both hands, put it in her mouth and took a bite carefully. When she found that it was not hot, she immediately gobbled it up, then looked up expectantly at the administrator.

Chu Guang didn't speak, but waited quietly for a while. Seeing that there was no toxic reaction, he took a bite of what he was holding.

The aroma of the crabmeat quickly spread between the lips and teeth.

Although it had a raw taste, it did not affect the fresh, smooth, and elastic texture. Just like that famous saying, high-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods.

Described in one phrase, it was extremely delicious!

This was especially true for Chu Guang, who had eaten dried meat and dry food for too long. This bite of crab meat has rekindled his desire for good food.

The only fly in the ointment was that when he took the crab leg just now, he discovered that the Crackleclaw Crab was actually a male, meaning there was no crab roe.

‘It's a pity that I can only gnaw on crab legs.’

"Good."

After eating slowly, Chu Guang nodded, and then took another bite blankly. Then a third bite... which turned into countless bites.

You don't say...

This stuff really gets better as you eat it.

It would be even better if there was some cooking wine to remove the fishy taste, or vinegar mixed with crushed garlic to enhance the fragrance...

Ya Ya stared from the side and waited, holding a half of the crab leg shell in her hand, waiting for a long time but did not get her reward.

Seeing that the Administrator had finished chewing the crab leg in his hands, she finally couldn't help but put on an urging tone and asked in a low voice.

"Dear administrator, may I ask… Do you have any more orders?"

Chu Guang wiped his mouth and gave her the crab leg shell in his hand.

"No, just find a place for me and throw this away."

Ya Ya looked at the crab leg shell in her hand, then looked at the administrator, hesitated for a long time before saying.

"Um... Where's the reward?"

Chu Guang looked at her blankly.

"...What reward?"

...
