V56C7P2 – Construction Site
Reverse, too, received a bowl of grass porridge and sat mindlessly on the ground nearby.
The front gate was crowded with players, several times more than usual.
“Mmm. Let’s have a taste.”
With a wooden spoon, he took a plentiful dip and scooped it into his mouth.
The porridge was so hot that it burned his tongue.
“Why is it so hot? It’s too hot for me to taste anything.”
Reverse skimmed the top of the grass porridge and blew on it heavily before he put it in his mouth. It was a delicate flavor; puckery and bitter but still a bit sweet, salty, and spicy.
It tasted like a huge amount of grass and berries were boiled and seasoned with salt, sugar, soy sauce, and a bit of pepper paste.
He couldn’t comprehend it and tried a few more spoons.
Fresh grass hung on his spoon.
The watery thin soup had a few rice grains and bits of meat.
“It looks like they put everything they could and boiled it. Especially a lot of grass…”
Reverse was a complete outsider when it came to cooking. He said it without much thinking, but that was the truth!
The secret of grass porridge in a big construction site was cooking without much care.
“This tastes really bad.”
Reverse left about half the bowl and followed the other players.
Usually, he would be too lazy but in an event like this, he wanted to participate even in a measly task.
“Are you a novice? The stones will be too heavy… Will you drive the bull wagons?”
“It’s alright, just give them to me. After all, I am different from other novices.”
Reverse trusted in his gear imbued with various enhancement spells.
“Call nearby players for help if you are tired.”
“I told you not to worry. Hmmf!”
The weight squeezed his lungs.
The immense weight that pressed down from his head down to his back made his legs shake like twigs.
Next, he had to walk all the way to the construction site like a swarm of ants.
