63. Chapter 63 The Magic Tower(2/3)
The main reason is that staying in the dungeon all the time is really too boring for his overly active brain, which has just experienced the last exciting dungeon.
So when he saw the message from Yu Qian, his brain subconsciously processed it. After the reply was sent and he received the system prompt, he realized that he seemed to have accepted a strange challenge.
However, when he carefully read the contents of the bet again, Mei Feng picked it up rather playfully.
"Can it be swallowed"?
Lu Miao was silent for a moment, his eyes fell on the duck leg bone in the crucible, and he narrowed his eyes.
In front of the screen, the tough-talking player who was talking about running trains noticed his gaze, and his face suddenly turned green.
The other players saw him take out the duck leg bone, observed it for a long time, and finally took a bite carefully.
There is no fishy smell, but it may be because the crucible itself is used to cook medicine. In addition to the burnt aroma, the duck leg bone has more of an aroma of herbs. After the duck leg bone has been cooked repeatedly, the whole bone is
It's crispy and can be crushed easily with your teeth without any residue.
Lu Miao still didn't like the smell very much, it reminded him that his body was still lying in the hospital, but in this situation, there was obviously no better choice.
But he noticed that when he ate the duck leg bone, the system did not directly determine that the bet was successful.
During his time in "Ideal Town", he had long been spoiled by the NPCs. He didn't like the food he ate. Since it couldn't trigger the system's judgment, he simply stopped eating it.
He raised his eyes and looked at the opposite side. Ever since he took out the crucible, the roommate opposite him had been staring at him closely. However, his eyes changed from vigilance and defense at the beginning to greed and covetousness.
Seeing Lu Miao looking towards him, his roommate paused and subconsciously looked away.
In a place like this, staring at other people's food is not simply rude, but can lead to death.
Lu Miao's fighting ability was almost the same as his. Even if he wanted to take action before, he only gritted his teeth and made up his mind after Lu Miao was asleep and under the temptation of the duvet. Who would have thought that the one upstairs looked very handsome?
The wizard who was not easy to mess with actually chose to protect this newcomer.
Now that the new young wizard has rested enough time, has more physical strength than him, and is protected by the boss upstairs, he will definitely not be able to defeat him.
If the young wizard was going to do something to him...
The roommate was thinking with a serious expression when he saw Lu Miao waving to him across the way: "Come here."
roommate:"?"
His expression was wary, because he had just noticed that Lu Miao only put in a piece of down, and the crucible turned out to be a duck leg bone, but maybe because there was no water, the duck leg bone was burnt black.
The roommate was looking for clues and wanted to go there by himself, stuffing him into the crucible and stewing him together.
After all, human blood can be considered a type of water source.
He stood still, thinking that if Lu Miao dared to come over, he would fight him tooth and nail. Who knew that Lu Miao was not annoyed at all when he saw that he was disobedient, but instead handed the duck leg bone in his hand forward: "This,
Do you want to eat or not?”
The roommate was immediately stunned.
He looked at the duck leg bone in Lu Miao's hand, and then at Lu Miao. After repeating it several times, he pointed to his nose as if he couldn't believe it and said, "Give it to me?"
Lu Miao nodded: "I just tried it. It's edible, but it's not very tasty. I don't like this, so you can eat it."
After saying that, regardless of whether my roommate believed it or not, I put the duck leg bone aside, untied the corner where the quilt was tied, carefully took out two down feathers from inside, and put them into the crucible.
One down is a duck leg bone. Can two downs make a whole duck leg?
There is this kind of cooking collection system in "Ideal Town". After cooking a dish, you can unlock the icon of the corresponding dish. This is the only place where Lu Miao can enter the game midway and experience the fun of collecting everything.
place, so he has always been interested in this kind of thing.
As soon as Lu Miao closed the lid, he continued to cross his fingers and pray devoutly.
“Duck soup duck soup duck soup duck soup…”
Is the variety right this time?
Lu Miao was so focused on experimenting with the recipe for the crucible that he ignored his roommate for a while and didn't even look at him. The roommate waited cautiously for a long time and realized that Lu Miao really didn't want the bone, so he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Heaven and man were at war in their hearts for a long time, but in the end they were no match for the instinct of hunger. The roommate slowly walked towards the duck leg bone that Lu Miao had left behind.
He was still very careful, taking every step he took and glanced at Lu Miao. Every time, he found that Lu Miao was not paying attention to him, so he continued to move forward.
After a short walk of more than ten steps, he walked for nearly 10 minutes before finally moving to Lu Miao's side.
By this time, Lu Miao could hardly be seen in his eyes, and his eyes were entirely focused on the duck leg bone that had been stewed until it was soft and crispy.
He just saw Lu Miao trying this duck leg bone. He didn't even use his teeth to bite it. He broke off a piece casually. There were still brittle bones left at both ends of the duck leg bone. When he bit it in his mouth, it made a crunching sound.
He could hear the crisp sound from across the room.
At that time, he was so greedy.
Now that he finally had the opportunity to taste it for himself, his roommate couldn't help but recall the last time he ate meat - he had been in this tower for several months, but it seemed like he had been there for centuries.
It took so long that his mind became dull, and for a while he couldn't even remember what he was like a few months ago.
How long has he been here?
Because when he first came in, someone told him that as long as he promised not to kill anyone or eat the flesh of his own kind, he would be forgiven by the gods and leave the tower in a year, so he kept trying not to hurt his roommate.
But the hunger and thirst were too unbearable. Even though he really wanted to leave the tower, his patience and expectation were gradually worn away by day after day of torture, until he found that he had fallen to the 67th floor.
When the supplies table arrived and there wasn't even a scrap of food left, he completely collapsed.
It was at that time that he really wanted to kill Lu Miao and eat his flesh to satisfy his hunger.
People are always bravest when they first come up with an idea.
He was really prepared to never get out for the rest of his life. If he hadn't been stopped by the man upstairs who seemed very difficult to mess with, he might have eaten part of Lu Miao's flesh and blood by now, and he would be different from those who had changed.
Like a crazy old wizard, he laughed crazily and ran wantonly on the floor.
——At that time, he no longer has to worry about food.
For wizards who have completely given up hope of escape, as long as people outside are still hunting for wizards in the magic tower, as long as they still have roommates, and as long as they are not randomly alone on the 100th floor, there will always be something to eat.
However, just a few hours later, when he stretched out his hand and could reach the duck leg bone that had been broken off, the long-lost humanity returned to his body.
The roommate was breathing rapidly and suddenly began to feel scared. If he had not stopped because of fear of the people upstairs, and if Lu Miao or one of them had died, he might never have known that Lu Miao actually had someone who could be used under the quilt.
duck down, a crucible for cooking food.
He will never be able to eat this duck leg bone, and will be trapped in this dark tower for the rest of his life. He will spend the rest of his life repenting for what he did today...
A lot of things flashed through the roommate's mind in an instant, but his movements were not slow at all. He glanced at Lu Miao quickly, planning to take the duck leg bone away immediately and return to Lu Miao if he really didn't mind.
Eat it in your bedroom over there.
If possible, he would like to sincerely apologize to Lu Miao.
He was originally a kind wizard who never harmed any animals. The medicines he cooked were all made from herbs grown by himself, so he was never famous.
He didn't know what was going on. It had only been a few months since he entered this magic tower, and his life over the past decades seemed to have been overturned. It actually gave him the idea of killing people.
The roommate wanted very much to atone for what he had done, but even though Lu Miao was already asleep at the time, he had no idea that he had ever had such thoughts.
However, just as he was thinking this and raising his eyes, he happened to meet Lu Miao's plain gaze.
Looking closer, he discovered that this new young wizard actually had a pair of gray-blue eyes that were like the blue sky. When his eyes reflected someone's figure, it was like an angel looking at a mortal and judging him.
All the sins of the man in front of you.
The roommate couldn't help but feel shrinking in his heart. The judgment from his faith made him feel guilty involuntarily, and he couldn't help but regret what he had done.
But then, his empty stomach twitched, and the evil thoughts that had grown up after living in the tower for several months occupied his mind uncontrollably.
He almost instinctively suspected that Lu Miao had tricked him on purpose just now. This new young wizard was actually so cunning!
What is he going to do?
When he is about to eat, break his only hope, or - kill him?
The roommate was shocked, but instead of doing what he had planned for a long time, he subconsciously grabbed the duck leg bone. For fear of Lu Miao regretting it, he quickly stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it thoroughly.
, and swallowed it with saliva.
There were bone fragments that could not be chewed and got stuck in his throat. He had to beat his chest hard several times and swallowed hard while running away from Lu Miao.
After a while, he finally swallowed the fragment of the duck leg bone completely. His eyes were full of physiological tears. He blinked hard and stared at Lu Miao warily.
However, Lu Miao just looked at him slightly surprised.
The roommate's back was pressed against the wall. He did not let down his guard because of Lu Miao's seemingly harmless appearance. He tightened his grip on the shackles on his wrists with a tense expression.
But then, his nose twitched twice and he smelled a strange yet familiar aroma.
His eyes moved away from Lu Miao's face uncontrollably. His roommate subconsciously looked at Lu Miao's crucible. Sure enough, he saw the source of the fragrance——
A steaming pot of duck soup.
I couldn't secrete enough saliva just now. The moment I saw the duck soup, I suddenly started to show up crazily. My roommate's eyes went straight, and his hands loosened the iron chain of the shackles without knowing when.
The chain hung down, making a series of metal collision sounds, but it failed to bring him out of his daze.
In the end, it was Lu Miao's voice that brought him back to reality: "Can your throat handle it if you just eat like that? Do you want some drink?"
When the roommate heard Lu Miao speak, his first reaction was to be defensive, but then he realized what he meant and his eyes widened.
"You...are you willing to share it with me?"
