Login Before Others: Stone Age-Chapter 8

Unlocking Cooking and Taming Horned Eagle

Su Ming changed into a set of clothes made of leather and walked around.

He felt that he had become arrogant.

With this set, it increased his defense by nearly 30 points and also had the function of keeping him warm.

All of a sudden, he felt like he had evolved from a primitive man to a higher level.

Moreover, his [Manufacturing] skill had also reached Level 2, and the attributes of effect 1 had all doubled.

The newly added effect had a chance of increasing the quality of an item, which was very practical.

Goo goo goo!

After fighting such a big battle, Su Ming’s stomach was rumbling with hunger. His stomach kept growling in hunger.

Da Bai and his subordinates had already started enjoying their spoils of war under Su Ming’s orders.

Naturally, Su Ming would not eat raw meat.

Once he gathered some dry grass and wood nearby, Su Ming began to prepare his food.

He started a fire with flint, lit the dry grass and wood, and began to roast the Yak meat.

After a while, the Yak meat began to sizzle with oil, and a meaty aroma filled the air. Just the taste alone was enough to make people drool.

Roar!

A group of White Tigers had gathered around him. Their eyes were fixed on him, and their saliva was dripping down.

“Hehe, you guys like to eat roast beef too?”

Su Ming was a little surprised. Did these White Tigers not like to eat raw meat?

He was just eating to his heart’s content, and now he was eyeing his roasted meat?

Roar!

Da Bai let loose a low roar as his large eyes stared intently at the sizzling roast beef.

“There’s no use in being greedy, let me eat my fill first!”

Su Ming laughed and took down the roasted Yak meat.

After blowing on it, he took a bite.

Instantly, the tender and juicy meat filled his mouth.

One mouthful after another.

Su Ming was very satisfied with the food.

At this time, he took out a few more berries and began to gnaw.

The fragrance of fruit and meat intertwined and lingered.

“This is too good!”

Su Ming ate to his heart’s content, and in the end, he let out a few satisfied burps.

Roar!

When Da Bai saw that Su Ming had finished eating and was lying down comfortably on the ground, he was extremely displeased.

“You’re full, but what about me? I also want to eat it!”

Da Bai shook its head in dissatisfaction and rubbed its furry paws against Su Ming’s chest.

“Good, good, good! I’ll roast beef for you!”

Su Ming sat up helplessly. He still wanted to rest for two more minutes.

It seemed that these guys were really greedy! f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎

He set up the fire and began to roast the meat.

After the Yak meat was roasted and distributed, he placed some fresh Yak meat on the rack again.

The cycle continued.

Suddenly.

[You’ve unlocked the life skill, ‘Cooking’!]

[Cooking]

[Level: 1 (0/1000)]

[Effect: Deliciousness +20%, fire control +20%]

“This works too?”

When Su Ming heard the notification, his face lit up with joy.

He did not expect to unlock a life skill just by roasting meat.

“Since I’ve unlocked life skills, then...

“Eat, I must eat as much as I can today!”

Su Ming looked at the White Tigers with a smile.

The big White Tiger that he saw could not help but shiver, feeling that something was not right.

An hour later, the White Tigers were all lying on the ground with round stomachs.

When Su Ming saw this, he frowned.

His cooking was just a little bit away from leveling up, and no one could eat anymore?

How could this happen?

“Da Bai!”

“And you, don’t lie down on those two!”

“Hurry up and get another Yak!”

Su Ming began to take attendance.

Roar!

Da Bai looked at Su Ming pitifully, as if to say, “Don’t roast anymore, I really can’t eat anymore.”

Su Ming ignored him. “I can’t do anything. Can’t you even eat? Hurry up and go!”

A group of White Tigers dragged a Yak over with trembling paws, as if they were wronged kittens.

After a while, the roasting rack was filled with Yak meat again.

In order to increase efficiency, Su Ming had made two more bonfires. Roasting the meat with three bonfires made the process even more efficient. 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

His proficiency increased rapidly.

However, this made the group of White Tigers suffer. They clearly could not eat, but they forced themselves to eat a small portion of the Yak.

It was only when a notification appeared that they were finally free.

[Your trade skill, ‘Cooking’, has been upgraded to Level 2.]

[Cooking]

[Level: 2 (0/2000)]

[Effect 1: Deliciousness +40%, fire control +40%]

[Effect 2: Stamina recovery +20%]

After leveling up, [Cooking] had a very practical effect.

It can speed up the recovery of physical strength.

In the game, all attributes would be affected after one’s stamina was depleted.

For example, if one consumed 30% of their stamina, their agility, reaction time, and even attack power will decrease slightly.

If the consumption continued, the decrease would be even more obvious.

Until his physical strength was exhausted and he could no longer move.

He could only wait for his strength to slowly recover.

While waiting, it would be fine if they were in a safe area, but once they were in a dangerous area, their lives could be in danger at any time.

If he could shorten the recovery process, the danger would be reduced.

Therefore, food made with Level 2 cooking could speed up the recovery of stamina. It did not look like much, but it was very practical.

Once his cooking skills were upgraded, Su Ming no longer made things difficult for the White Tigers.

He only sighed and shook his head.

“What a pity, there’s still so much roasted meat!”

When the White Tiger, who was resting on the ground, heard Su Ming’s words, it immediately perked up its ears and turned its head away, afraid that Su Ming would ask them to eat the rest of the meat.

When Su Ming saw this, he shook his head in silence. He lay on the ground and looked at the sky.

“Huh? What’s that?”

Su Ming was stunned.

A few birds with five-meter wide wings silently circled above their heads.

From the looks of it, he seemed to be eyeing their spoils of war.

“Horned Eagles!”

After looking at it for a long time, Su Ming finally recognized the person.

In the game, many players were keen on taming Horned Eagles.

The reason was that it was highly vigilant and flew fast, especially suitable for reconnaissance and information transmission. It was a scout among birds.

“If I can tame a Horned Eagle now...”

Su Ming’s eyes were burning as he fell into deep thought.

A confident smile appeared on his face after a short while, and he flipped over to mount Da Bai.

“Da Bai, let’s go!”

Under Su Ming’s orders, the Tigers began to drag the Yak’s corpse away and left unhurriedly.

Only a few pieces of meat were left on the spot.

The Horned Eagles in the sky watched them leave and continued to circle for a while.

One of the Horned Eagles finally could not help but dive down.

When the other three saw this, they also rushed down and landed at the spot where Su Ming had just left.

They looked extremely hungry as they fought to swallow the pieces of meat.

His sharp Eagle eyes swept around and found that all the food had been taken away.

Buzzzzzz!

The Horned Eagles cried out in dissatisfaction.

Those Tigers obviously could not finish so much food, so why did they take all of it away?

They flapped their wings and rose into the air, flying in the direction Su Ming had just left.

Along the way, a few pieces of meat fell to the ground from time to time, seemingly from the dragging.

As they chased, they entered a forest.

In the forest, the trees were tall and dense with branches and leaves, making it difficult to see.

They slowed down their flying speed and looked around vigilantly.

Suddenly, the corpse of a Yak appeared on the ground.

They flapped their wings excitedly, but they were still vigilantly scanning their surroundings.

Roar!

Suddenly, the White Tiger’s roar alerted them.

The Horned Eagle flapped its wings and flew higher, looking further.

It turned out that in the open space in the distance, a group of White Tigers was resting and playing.

And it seemed that with their intimidation, no other creatures appeared in the surroundings.

After observing for a while, they finally realized that there was no danger.

Everything was safe!

Begin the operation!

The four Horned Eagles, who had been starving for a long time, pounced like sharp arrows and landed beside the Yak’s corpse.

At this moment, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred.

Pfft! Pfft!

A huge vine net fell from the sky and quickly headed toward the Eagle’s net.

Buzzzzzz!

The Horned Eagle let out an angry and terrified cry.

But it was of no use.

Two unlucky Horned Eagles were caught in the center of the net, while the other two flapped their wings and fled in a panic.

“Da Bai!”

Su Ming shouted.

Behind the tree, a huge white shadow suddenly pounced out and directly held down the two Horned Eagles that were still struggling.

Once everything was settled, Su Ming clapped his hands in excitement and ran over.

The two Horned Eagles had jet-black feathers, sharp eyes, and long beaks. They looked to be in high spirits.

“After a few twists and turns, I finally caught you!”

Su Ming’s face was filled with excitement.

In the sky, Su Ming really could not do anything to them, much less tame them successfully.

But now that it had been caught, taming it was only a matter of time.

After failing over and over again...

Finally, the sound of a success notification was heard.

[Notification: You have successfully tamed the Horned Eagle!]
