Getting hit by a car and dying, Sento didn’t panic.
Being dragged to the Wish Corridor, which was modeled after the God Space, Sento still didn’t panic.
Being thrown into the frozen, snow-covered Canada, Sento remained calm.
But if you told him that he was being watched by the Chaos Four Peddlers and the old sorcerous cured meat, then he would genuinely be a little panicked.
Once targeted by these old geezers, dying would be difficult, and even in death, there would be no peace; both his soul and body would be toyed with until they collapsed.
‘Can I return this crappy talent?
I’ll give up this exclusive talent if I have to, is that okay?’
Just as Sento was muttering to himself, he suddenly noticed something.
Unlike other talents, this exclusive talent badge had a small question mark inside a circle in the top right corner.
Those who play games often know that this usually indicates detailed notes.
Sento focused his attention on it, and a large amount of content immediately surfaced in his mind.
The first note that caught his eye made Sento breathe a sigh of relief.
[The 5 Great Gods are positive-natured copies of the Warhammer Chaos Four Gods and the Emperor of Mankind; they will not cause harm to the owner and have no independent consciousness.]
With his heart back in his chest, Sento leisurely continued reading.
This talent could not directly grant Sento invincible combat power; it was more like an additional ability and item acquisition system.
As long as Sento performed actions that aligned with the preferences of these 5 gods, he would gain their attention.
The more they aligned with their desires, the higher the attention, and the more rewards he would receive.
From ordinary supplies to high-quality supplies, as well as talents, skills, and Wonders of various levels, he could get them all.
As for what kind of behavior aligned with their desires…
wouldn’t it be enough to just recall what Sento did when he awakened the talent?
For example, the God of Courage liked combat, and the God of Mankind liked humans helping each other.
Seeing this, Sento suddenly remembered something else.
Where is my shop?
Generally speaking, shouldn’t a God Space like this have a shop system?
But he hadn’t seen one before.
Could it be the type where there’s an entire shopping street, and all the players trade with each other?
But if that were the case, there would still need to be a place for drops and production.
Perhaps it’s the type where you get rewards after the world ends and the level is cleared?
But regardless, for now, this unique exclusive talent was not bad.
After all, whether it was combat, helping each other, finding ways to survive, or planning certain things, these were all essential tasks in a survival world.
And these essential behaviors could earn the attention of the 5 gods and provide extra rewards; thinking about it this way, it was actually quite profitable.
Alright, gaining the attention of these 5 gods was not something that could be accomplished overnight; for now, let’s focus on the work at hand.
Having confirmed that the exclusive talent was not dangerous and actually quite good, Sento’s mood improved significantly, and he began to peel the potato skins seriously.
With five potatoes and five carrots, after peeling them all, Sento used a cleaned hunting knife to cut half into shreds and half into chunks.
Meanwhile, Ai had also finished her preliminary preparations.
She scrubbed the several large bowls and a new frying pan found in the room with snow several times, then asked Sento to help light a fire and boil some hot water to rinse the bowls multiple times, ensuring they were clean.
Then, she added flour and oats to the bowl in a 3:1 ratio, put in the shredded vegetables Sento had prepared and some salt, and mixed it into a batter.
Two frying pans were put to use; in one, she heated the oil and pan-fried the vegetable chunks until the surface was slightly charred, then added pork, lentils, and tomato soup canned food for seasoning.
Using a small spatula she had found, she slowly stirred it to ensure the bottom wouldn’t burn, while Ai began to fry pancakes in the other pan.
Sento could only cheer from the sidelines; he couldn’t help much with the cooking part.
The preparation here would take at least another quarter of an hour, so Sento took this time to go out and pick up some dry firewood nearby.
Carrying a handful of finger-thick twigs, Sento pushed the door open and walked in, shaking his head vigorously to send the small amount of snowflakes flying.
“Sento-kun, you’ve returned just in time—is it snowing?” Ai, who was greeting Sento, turned around, paused after seeing Sento’s movements, and hurriedly asked.
Sento placed the wooden sticks beside the sofa: “It’s alright, just light snow.”
“It’s fortunate that we moved fast enough; otherwise, if we had to travel through the snow, our clothes wouldn’t have held up at all.”
Ai patted her chest in relief, and Sento, seeing her action, secretly lifted the corner of his mouth.
In the original work, if Ai made this gesture, it would still stir up some waves, but that was mainly because she was a “padded” person.
Now, there were no waves at all, likely because, for safety reasons, she had removed the cumbersome padding before entering the Wish Corridor.
Not noticing Sento’s little expression, Ai brought the two pots to the side of the counter.
“This place is indeed quite nice; the room is warm, the space is large, and there are plenty of supplies, but there isn’t a dining table, so we’ll just have to eat like this~”
“This is for you.” Sento handed Ai a pair of chopsticks.
These were made from a few decent branches he had found while picking up firewood outside just now, which he had whittled down on the spot.
“Eh?
Sento-kun is really thoughtful.
Well then, I’ll dig in~” Saying this with a smile, Ai picked up a piece of the shredded vegetable pancake first.
The crispy crust of the fried batter had an excellent texture, and because oats and two types of shredded vegetables were added, the inside didn’t have that sticky, pure-flour texture.
The former provided a bit of graininess, while the latter was soft, glutinous, and sweet, adding a lot of flavor.
As for Sento, he first scooped up a potato from the stew; it was soft, sweet, and fragrant.
The soup coating the potato had a very rich tomato flavor, along with the salty fragrance from the canned pork.
“Sento-kun, don’t just eat the potatoes; use a spoon to scoop some up.” Ai bit the tip of her chopsticks, her eyes full of anticipation.
Although he didn’t quite understand what she meant, Sento followed her suggestion.
He used a spoon to scoop up some of the rich soup and put it in his mouth.
The taste was good, and at the same time, he could clearly taste the minced pork and the chewy shredded meat.
“This is?”
“Hehe, I shredded some beef jerky and added it in.
How is it?”
It could only be said that Ai really knew how to pair ingredients; Sento didn’t say a word and shoveled two more spoonfuls into his mouth.
This silent praise made Ai’s smile become even more pronounced.
The two were indeed ravenous, and accompanied by hot water, they devoured the sumptuous meal like a whirlwind.
Sento rested one arm on the counter and picked up his teacup to take another sip of water.
“Phew…
I’m full now.
I’ll go wash the kitchenware; you take a rest.”
It might not seem tempting right nobut who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
