Starting from the office buildings we kept passing through

Chapter 62 Power Potion

The 18th floor has changed dramatically.

The partitions between the offices have been mostly removed.

The debris from the demolition has been turned into firewood and is burning at the bottom of the pot.

The reservoir, which was originally only half-filled, is now almost full.

It's been raining all day and shows no sign of stopping.

In the rainy night, everyone stayed by the fire, waiting for the food in the pot to cook.

Today it's still meat congee, and a bucket of cold meat patties.

There were people guarding the meat pies, one for each person. Those who went down with Chen Hao today would get an extra one.

Chen Hao's is unlimited.

Of course, he can't eat that much; he can only eat three at most.

The meat in the pot today is mostly snake and lizard meat, because we caught quite a lot of that kind of meat today.

It would be a waste not to eat it.

The cleaning lady was in charge of cooking.

When this person was in the countryside, he often helped others organize banquets to earn some money to supplement his family's income.

She wasn't a chef, but after watching for a long time, she learned a thing or two.

"Yes, it's cooked."

The cleaning lady took a bite and nodded.

Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and began lining up for food.

Of course, Chen Hao was the first to be attacked.

Chen Hao didn't have to queue; Gao Jie got his food for him and then brought it over.

He took a few bites; the snake meat was fresh, but the lizard meat was tough, which made him frown a little, but it was still edible, so he didn't say anything more.

After finishing his meal, Chen Hao took out his cards and began replenishing his supplies.

First, there's the rice. Of the 100 jin (50 catties) of rice we had before, less than half is left.

Chen Hao had just synthesized a purple Mika and replenished 100 jin of rice.

Then there's the oil; he has two blue snake oil cards.

They are all synthesized from white snake oil.

It weighed 10 jin (5 catties) in total and was put into a ceramic jar.

These snake oils are edible and can also be used to make torches; they have many uses.

Then there was the sugar. Chen Hao only had one blue sugar card, and a total of ten pounds, which was also packed into a ceramic jar.

There are three of these ceramic jars. They were used for decoration by Chen Hao's company. Each jar has a sheep patterned on it, and the three of them together symbolize the auspiciousness of "Three Yangs (sheep) Bringing Prosperity".

For the last ceramic jar, Chen Hao used a wine card to fill it with 20 jin (10 catties) of liquor.

These three jars are now in his private office, so no one saw him placing the supplies there.

Chen Hao took a glass, poured himself a glass of wine, and tasted it.

"Excellent, good wine."

Chen Hao's eyes lit up immediately.

The taste of this wine was no less than that of the high-end liquors he had drunk before; it was fragrant, mellow, and smooth.

He himself couldn't possibly drink that much, and he wasn't a heavy drinker; he only drank a little when it came to work-related social events.

So he called Chen Zhong over and asked him to carry the jar of wine to the outside of the office.

"I have a jar of wine here. Anyone who likes to drink, come and get a cup from me."

Chen Hao addressed the crowd.

Upon hearing the word "wine," a man who was interested in fine wine immediately caught Chen Hao's eye and approached him.

"Brother Chen, is it really alcohol?"

"Not bad," Chen Hao nodded.

This man is Li Laoshi. He doesn't have many hobbies, except for a glass of wine and a cigarette.

He had long since finished smoking all the cigarettes he carried, and there wasn't a drop of alcohol to be seen.

Chen Hao opened the lid, and the smell of alcohol escaped. Li Laoshi sniffed it, and his mouth was already watering unconsciously.

With a "slurp," Li Laoshi wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Chen, give me a drink."

As he spoke, Li Laoshi found a disposable cup, filled it to the brim, and carefully went to the side to slowly savor it.

"Good wine," Li Laoshi exclaimed.

With Li Laoshi leading the way, several people came over and got a drink.

There weren't many people; including Li Laoshi, there were only five in total.

"My lord, may I have a drink?"

Then, Chen Hao heard Chen Zhong, who was holding a ceramic jar, ask cautiously.

"Oh, you like to drink too?"

Chen Hao looked at Chen Zhong with some surprise.

Chen Zhong nodded quickly: "The smell of this makes me want to drink it."

"Alright, go get a cup and pour yourself a drink."

"Alright, thank you, my lord."

Chen Zhong immediately beamed with joy and eagerly went to get the cup.

After serving the drinks, Chen Hao returned to his office.

He went to the [Armor Shop] and took out two purple cards.

One purple iron card, one purple lizard card.

After use, twelve lizard skins and a hundred-pound iron block appeared.

Put them all into the [Armor Shop].

22 pelts, 180 units of iron, and 3 units of cloth.

These are the materials currently stored in the [Armor Shop].

"Craft me two sets of leather armor and one set of iron armor."

Chen Hao issued the production task, and immediately the fur became 14 pieces and the iron became 70 units.

The Armor Shop has started operating, automatically crafting the leather and iron armor that Chen Hao needs.

Next, Chen Hao began to organize the white cards, preparing for conversion.

There are a total of 93 white cards, 21 meat cards, 42 water cards, 8 salt cards, 4 rice cards, 12 coal cards, 2 snake oil cards, and 4 iron cards.

There are a lot of water cards, probably because aquatic creatures are more likely to drop them after being killed.

Of these 93 white cards, 70 can be converted.

Without hesitation, Chen Hao immediately uttered in his mind, "Transform."

Instantly, a large portion of the white cards in Chen Hao's body disappeared, but seven orbs of light appeared.

The color of the light sphere kept changing until it finally settled on one color and then transformed into the shape of a card.

"These," Chen Hao said with a strange expression as he looked at the seven cards that had been transformed.

It turns out that among these seven cards, there are 3 white cards, 1 blue card, and 3 purple cards.

This is the first time Chen Hao has converted so many white cards, and also the first time he has converted so many purple cards.

They just happened to bump into each other.

Chen Hao calmed himself down and looked at the white card first.

[One-Star Resource Card (White) - 1 Bowstring: Can be used to craft a bow]

[One-Star Resource Card (White) - 1 Wooden Basin: Can be used to hold objects]

[One-Star Supply Card (White) - 1 bolt of cloth: Can be used to make clothes]

"good."

Chen Hao didn't have high expectations for the white cards to begin with, but he was quite satisfied to find that the three white cards he converted, although few in number, were all useful.

[One-Star Supply Card (Blue) - 10 Jin of Kerosene: Can be used as fuel]

"Not bad either."

It can at least be used to make torches.

Finally, there are three purple cards.

[One-Star Supply Card (Purple) - 12 Sheets of Cowhide: Can be used to craft leather armor]

[One-Star Enhancement Card (Purple): After use, it can moderately improve physical attributes, including strength, speed, reflexes, and dynamic vision. It cannot be used after reaching the one-star limit.]

[One-Star Extraordinary Supplies Card (Purple) - Strength Potion: After consumption, temporarily doubles strength for three minutes, followed by one hour of weakness.]
