Chapter 3, True Villagers

After all, compared to hunger, a person dies of thirst much more quickly than from starvation

Is it really possible to do it this way? Colin stroked his chin, and he did not feel that what he said was particularly inspiring

A magical synthesis table, as long as the materials and recipes are provided in the correct manner, can synthesize anything.

Then, he opened the door of the wooden cabin

Colin rolled his eyes, tapped the table, his voice gentle and magnetic yet carrying a hint of undeniable authority: "Only if you all perform better can I be safer. In comparison, if people are gone, what significance does a broken table hold?"

[Servant One]

Are you all truly raised in the countryside... Kolin silently complained to himself, then said: "This bread is a trap; whoever eats it now will die. I need to go to the Mist to complete a task soon. Are you afraid of dying?"

Identity: A servant exclusively belonging to Colin

Satiety Value: 19 (1 - 20 Extremely Hungry, 21 - 40 Hungry, 41 - 60 Average, 61 - 80 Satisfied, 81 - 100 Very Satisfied)

You realize that perhaps with water or some other basic food, you might be able to combine it with that piece of black bread to create something better.

Upon realizing this, Colin's expression turned somewhat grim; there was no doubt that this was a trap

This, how can this be... This is your esteemed furniture, my lord. We are merely lowly servants, even in death...

This will consume a significant amount of water and energy from the body, and it is very likely to be counterproductive

He is contemplating whether he can inspire himself

There is nothing particularly special

Ultimately, a piece of bread does not truly satisfy hunger

Three people share one axe

After listening, the two servants showed signs of emotion on their faces, their eyes slightly reddened, and they trembled as they knelt down and said

Moreover, due to this "inspiration", all their attributes have increased by approximately 20 percent

At least two pieces

Colin had a thought and opened the personal information of both individuals

At the same time, Colin saw the "hint" emerge in his mind

This seems to indicate a matter; what needs to be done now is to go out with an axe to carry out tasks while searching for a water source

Moreover, compared to these matters, I care more about your lives. I do not want to return and find that you have suffered casualties due to the lack of this weapon; I will not accept even one less of you.

Hope the package will stop the hunger

The two servants quickly shook their heads: "No, we wouldn't dare. This is the only food, and of course, it belongs exclusively to you, my lord. We would rather starve to death outside than touch even a fraction of your food."

Regardless of whether the "deformed entity" is easy to kill, relying on this black bread to survive is a process of chronic death

The "Servant Two" is quite similar to "Servant One"; Colin merely glanced at it, made a brief note, and then closed it.

Colin shook the object in his hand and asked, "Do you want to eat it?"

Endurance: 0.7 (normal male is 1 point)

However, danger does not only exist outside; hunger can also kill these survivors

The two servants that exclusively belong to you can have their personal information viewed by the inscriptions on their heads. Furthermore, they will unconditionally obey your commands, with loyalty that is beyond question, quantified numerically as one hundred percent, absolutely one hundred percent.

The two servants made a promise simultaneously

Colin's gaze fell upon the wooden table and chairs, intending to take out two sticks. Although these pieces of furniture appeared dilapidated and decayed, Colin knew that they were not as fragile as they seemed.

However, just as Colin was about to take action, he heard a servant say:

He does not particularly like to engage with things that have identical values on such panels

What is so noble about this broken thing

Colin clearly felt an increase in morale. He opened the villagers' personal information and found that in addition to "extremely hungry," their status bar also included "elated."

Because merely looking at this kind of data makes it difficult to discern the underlying reasons in a short period, preventing the formation of a clear understanding

Colin looked at the black bread on the table: [a piece of black bread as hard as a rock, it could even kill someone if thrown, can this thing really be eaten]

However, the term "hunger" in the status column of the personal information of the two servants raised a warning bell for Colin

Subsequently, he shifted his gaze

Otherwise, one can only rely on saliva to soften it for consumption

He is also very hungry now. If he chooses to eat this piece of bread like some people in the chat channel, he is likely to lose a significant amount of combat power due to thirst.

But by the time it gets to that evening, and after enduring until the next day, the situation will not be much better than it is now

After receiving the prompt, Colin stepped forward and picked up the rough black bread, squeezing it. It was very dry and very hard; aside from being lighter than a stone, it was just as the prompt described, almost like a stone.

... ...

At that moment, with a gurgling sound from his throat, Colin looked up and saw the two servants stealing glances at the bread in his hand, as if they were gazing at some exquisite delicacy of the world

No, we cannot guarantee that we can face everything, but at least before we become corpses, we will use our lives to ensure your safety

Colin had eaten similar bread before, except that it was in a long strip shape and needed to be soaked in broth or hot water to become soft enough to eat

Dismantling the furniture did not take much time

Colin shook his head to dispel distracting thoughts and looked at the axe

Yes, the wooden house is very safe and can block the fog

An old axe, with dark red rust on the blade and a pitch-black wooden handle, appears somewhat loose and flimsy, seemingly incapable of being swung more than a few times

Physical strength: 0.6 (normal male is 1 point)

This requires a certain amount of time to accumulate in order to gradually understand the significance of the data

I said that we would come back together for dinner, and that means we will come back together for dinner

Just like old ship wood, it appears dilapidated, yet it is actually hard and serves as an excellent weapon in conditions of scarcity

Although this statement sounds quite beautiful, the response is overly standardized and templated. Colin, observing the two lively servants, finds it difficult to regard them as NPCs.

However, Colin did not dwell on it too much and said, "I assure you, as long as we can complete the mission and return safely, you will not be deprived of a single morsel of food."

Moreover, there is one final challenge at hand before consuming it: the lack of water

Before long, as preparations were nearly complete, Colin dripped a drop of blood onto the wick of the lantern, and a flame, not particularly bright, ignited.

Moreover, Colin discovered that this daily task ... surprisingly only provided a single loaf of black bread.

After coming to this realization, Colin couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion: "There are so many tricks; wouldn't it be better if this survival game had a bit more sincerity?"

The two servants spoke without daring to raise their heads, appearing extremely anxious and fearful.

However, the number of weapons is clearly insufficient

Having met the lord, we are your loyal servants

Eating a loaf of black bread every day, I fear that within two days I will be completely drained of energy, and before long, I may not even be able to lift an axe

Although he can throw the bread onto the table, allowing it to absorb moisture from the air and become soft

Of course, this is just a thought

We thank you, my lord, for your care, and we shall protect your safety with our lives

Thank you for your kindness Two servants seem to have thought of the joy of filling their stomachs and their voices became a bit more excited

Strength: 0.8 (normal male is 1 point)

Status: Extremely hungry

Then I thought of the state of the two servants, in extreme hunger, yet on the brink of extreme hunger...

Similar words, a more resolute attitude

Colin squinted his eyes, so the correct way to use bread should be synthesis

By the way
