Chapter 59: Cannot Let It Go to Waste! Brewing Medicinal Liquor!

Chapter 59: Must Not Waste It! Brewing Medicinal Wine!

Inside the bank vault.

After finishing their bowls of striped-cattle spine soup, Xu Bin, Chen Tao, and Chen Hao immediately began working out with the makeshift exercise equipment left behind by the Salvation Army.

This helped them better absorb the effects of the soup.

After all, unlike Lu Feng, they didn't have a systemized status to directly convert everything into experience points upon consumption.

However, they also didn't need to rely solely on leveling up to increase their physical attributes like Lu Feng did; as long as they absorbed the nutrients, their stats would increase to varying degrees.

Lu Feng turned to instruct Lin Jiao, "Go upstairs and call the Yao sisters down to have some too."

"Understood, Boss!" Lin Jiao nodded and walked toward the second floor.

There was indeed still a lot of the striped-cattle spine soup left. Since the effects of this dish had a limit, consuming too much of it yielded no further benefits.

The portions she, Xu Bin, and the others had consumed had already reached the limit of its effectiveness.

It turned out to be a windfall for the twin sisters.

Qiao Yaoyao and Qiao Sisi were quickly brought down by Lin Jiao. The sisters clearly appeared reserved and nervous.

Approaching the pot, Lin Jiao said to the two women, "You're in luck, bought by such a generous boss. On your very first day, you get to drink striped-cattle spine soup. This stuff is good for you."

Yao Yaoyao and Qiao Sisi stared in disbelief at the soup simmering in the pot.

In this apocalyptic world, they were naturally well-acquainted with various mutated beasts.

The striped-cattle was a creature frequently discussed by many mercenary squads within the East City Alliance.

They had even heard that the essence contained within the striped-cattle spine could permanently enhance a person's physical constitution.

They simply couldn't believe they were now being given the chance to consume such a delicacy.

Based on what they knew, the combined market value of the two sisters didn't even equal the worth of this single pot of soup.

The gentleman who had purchased them was actually willing to let them drink this kind of soup. At the very least, it proved that being bought by such a boss was a truly fortunate turn of events.

The twin sisters even cast subconscious glances toward Lu Feng. If this gentleman wanted to do something to them... it actually seemed like a pretty decent option.

Lin Jiao handed two bowls to the sisters, telling them to serve themselves.

Naturally, the sisters couldn't hold very much.

After finishing a few bowls between them, there was still a large pot of striped-cattle spine soup remaining.

Leaving what was left for Xu Bin and the others would simply be a waste.

Therefore, amid the astonished gazes of the group, Lu Feng directly took the pot, along with the remaining soup, out of the game world.

Qiao Yaoyao and Qiao Sisi were witnessing Lu Feng's ability to vanish without a trace for the very first time, and their faces were painted with utter astonishment.

Seeing this, Lin Jiao reassured the sisters, "You'll get used to it. Our boss is an Awakened."

This revelation left the twin sisters even more dumbfounded.

The person who had bought them was actually an Awakened?

Lu Feng reappeared inside his apartment with the pot of soup.

The sky outside had grown completely dark.

He hurriedly grabbed a small basin from the apartment, poured all the remaining soup into it, and placed it inside the refrigerator.

The potency of this soup was enough to elevate a person directly from Level 1 to Level 4. The leftover broth could easily be shared with his cousin and the others to help boost their physical stats.

Since his cousin and the others were helping him out now, giving them a share was only beneficial.

After storing the soup in the fridge, he checked his phone and saw several missed calls.

They were from his mother and Yang Qingxue, accompanied by a few unread WeChat messages also sent by Yang Qingxue.

"Lu Feng, I'm at your place keeping your mom company. Are you not coming back tonight?"

Seeing the latest WeChat message, Lu Feng immediately left the apartment and headed back to his new home in First-Class Residences.

As soon as he stepped through the door, he saw Yang Qingxue skipping rope in the living room alongside his mother.

Although his mother had been discharged from the hospital, she had just undergone major surgery, leaving her vitality severely depleted. She needed to recover her strength gradually.

"Lu Feng, you're back?" Yang Qingxue was wearing a stylish white vest paired with a knee-length black skirt today, an outfit that accentuating her wonderful figure.

Women blessed with a great figure always looked attractive no matter what they wore.

Especially while skipping rope.

Involuntarily, the figures of the twin sisters Qiao Yaoyao and Qiao Sisi flashed through his mind, prompting a brief mental comparison.

This was a subconscious reaction.

A man's thoughts in this regard were difficult to control.

The only thing they could control were their actions—though naturally, some men struggled to control even those.

In this department, men were the vulnerable party.

While Lu Feng could keep himself in check around the twin sisters, why bother holding back with Yang Qingxue? He just wanted to sweep her off her feet right then and there.

The only obstacle was his mother's presence, preventing him from acting recklessly.

"Xiaofeng, you're back. Go keep Qingxue company. I've worked up a sweat and am going to my room to shower." Lin Fang put down her jump rope and walked into her bedroom, clearly unwilling to act as a third wheel for the young couple.

Lu Feng couldn't help thinking how considerate his mother was. With a beaming smile, he stepped forward and swept Yang Qingxue up in a bridal carry.

With his current strength attribute of 10, which was exactly double the normal person's 5, lifting Yang Qingxue was effortless.

"Lu Feng, what are you doing?" Yang Qingxue instinctively wrapped her arms around Lu Feng's neck.

Lu Feng teased, "You were skipping rope with my mom, so you must have worked up a sweat too. Time for a bath, perhaps?"

Yang Qingxue understood his insinuation all too well and instinctively pinched the flesh at Lu Feng's waist.

The next day.

A pleasant morning sun spilled through the bedroom window.

When Lu Feng woke up, he found that Yang Qingxue was already awake, gazing at him with bright, alert eyes.

Seeing this, Lu Feng asked, "Shall I drop you off at work?"

"I have the day off today, no work," Yang Qingxue replied.

Lu Feng nodded and told her to rest a bit longer. After getting up and washing up, he cast his gaze toward the striped-cattle spine stored in his inventory space.

Using this item to brew medicinal wine would yield even better results for physical enhancement, which would undoubtedly benefit his mother's health.

With that thought in mind, he decisively went out to purchase a thirty-jin jar of white liquor and some supplementary herbs for brewing medicinal wine.

When he returned home, Yang Qingxue had already freshened up and was about to head out with Lin Fang.

"Lu Feng, I'm going out for a walk with your mother," Yang Qingxue said immediately upon seeing him return.

Lin Fang happily took Yang Qingxue's hand as they walked out the door, clearly having already accepted her as her future daughter-in-law.

With the two women gone, Lu Feng brought the white liquor and brewing ingredients into the living room. He then retrieved two pieces of striped-cattle spine from his inventory space. Following the instructions provided by the appraisal information, he used a knife to crack the spine bones open before dropping them into the jar of white liquor, allowing the essence within the bones to infuse into the alcohol, followed by adding all the supplementary herbs.

According to the appraised details, the striped-cattle spine medicinal wine would be fully brewed in three hours time.

Calculating the time, Lu Feng poured himself a cup of the freshly brewed spine wine and mentally entered the game world, checking the details through his appraisal ability:

【This is a medicinal wine brewed with striped-cattle spine, containing the concentrated essence of the beast. Consuming this brewed wine provides an even superior effect for enhancing physical constitution!】
