After returning home, Yang Ying sat on the sofa and rubbed her eyebrows in distress.
Unexpectedly, the Hydra body rewarded by this trial mission did not show any positive effects, but it gave myself a debuff first.
After the weird dream in the morning, Yang Ying also learned something about the ability of 'Hydra Body'.
First of all, just like its name, it itself is incomplete. Yang Ying needs to find a suitable head for it to repair the body and restore its strength.
And the average brain cannot meet its needs.
Because when returning home, Yang Ying also stopped by the vegetable market. However, the body of the Hydra ignored the fish heads, cow heads, sheep heads, etc. there, and even gave Yang Ying a set of head reminders. Dafa made his head buzz.
And this head-stimulating method is what Yang Ying calls a debuff.
Yang Ying could feel that the head-stimulating method of the hydra body would have a certain impact on his spirit, just like having a sanity. Although it was not serious, it would drive him crazy sooner or later if it accumulated over time.
Therefore, if Yang Ying doesn't want to become a madman looking for heads everywhere, it's best to find a satisfactory head for this damn hydra body as soon as possible.
However, even if Yang Ying wanted to break her head now, there was nothing she could do. Who knows what kind of head would suit the body of that damn Hydra? She could only slowly figure out a way through the infinite game later.
Thinking like this, Wang Sheng summoned the light curtain of Infinite Game again.
In the future, if there are people around, he will use his mobile phone to check the game. If there is no one, he will directly use this light screen to check.
Because the light curtain of Infinite Games cannot be seen by others, Yang Ying does not want to be regarded as a lunatic.
The light curtain emerged, and Yang Ying directly clicked on the task bar.
He hasn't received the reward from the last trial mission yet.
As Yang Ying chose to receive it, a faint light floated on the light screen, and then three light groups flew out of the light screen and landed on the coffee table in front of Yang Ying, turning into three items.
The first piece is a cyan crab claw more than half a meter long, the second piece is a black pearl the size of a walnut, and the third piece is a bronze badge about five centimeters in diameter with the image of Hydra engraved on the surface. .
Yang Ying picked up the black pearl, and a message immediately popped up on the infinite game's light screen.
[Name: Crab Pearl]
[Type: sundries/materials]
[Introduction: Special pearls are occasionally found in giant crabs. Someone may be willing to pay a high price to buy them]
After blinking, Yang Ying pressed her hand on the blue crab claw again, and a message appeared on the light screen.
[Name: Delicious Crab Claws]
[Type; props/materials]
[Effect: Slightly strengthen the body after consumption]
[Introduction; Delicious and juicy giant crab claws, which can bring out their maximum deliciousness with just simple cooking]
Finally, Yang Ying reached out and picked up the bronze badge. However, this time when she saw the information emerging from the light screen, Yang Ying's pupils shrank slightly.
[Name: The Twelve Incomplete Merits—Hunting the Hydra]
[Type; props]
[Effect: After the wearer dies, resurrect him once, and the item is damaged]
[Introduction; Although it is an incomplete achievement, for ordinary people, it is still a supreme great achievement]
[Note: User Yang Ying has been bound]
Holding the bronze badge tightly, Yang Ying was confused and at a loss for a moment.
Resurrection, I didn't expect that this kind of thing that should only exist in myths, legends and science fiction stories would be held in my hands right now.
After a while, Yang Yingcai regained his composure.
Putting the bronze badge away with her, Yang Ying wrapped the crab pearl in a tissue and locked it in the bedside table along with the leather armor and bronze dagger.
As for the big crab claw, which was more than half a meter long, Yang Ying temporarily soaked it in cold water.
Eating this thing can strengthen the body, and it is big enough. Yang Ying planned to steam it, and showed it off with Lin Yixian at noon.
After packing several things, Yang Ying looked at the time, it was almost ten o'clock.
Sitting back on the sofa, Yang Ying once again called up the light curtain of Infinite Games, opened the taskbar and began to study those tasks.
He planned to choose a suitable task, wait for the next two days to adjust his condition, and then give it a try when he was ready.
It is a pity that the information displayed for these tasks is very limited even if they are not accepted. There are only simple task names and task requirements, and even the task rewards are only given in general terms such as "potion" and "weapon". The kind or type, some are even just unknown. Yang Ying's brows jumped when she saw it.
But when he saw the last [Mutated Beast] mission, his eyes lit up slightly.
[Task Name: Mutated Beast]
[Task Type: Normal]
[Task requirement: Hunt three mutated beasts in the Tanas forest area]
[Task reward: Head clue adapted to the body of Hydra*1, the rest are unknown]
Needless to say, Yang Ying knew that he had to do this task just by seeing the reward of 'head clues adapted to the body of Hydra'.
After choosing the task, Yang Ying put away the infinite game's light curtain, found a brush and started cleaning the big crab claws.
Although this thing was to be eaten with Lin Yixian, she couldn't let her see the crab claws, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain it.
After cleaning the crab claws, Yang Ying made a special call to Lin Yixian and told her to come back early after eating seafood for lunch.
After confirming Lin Yixian's approximate return home time, Yang Ying confirmed the time and prepared to wait a while before starting to make crab claws.
Don't leave seafood for too long after it's cooked, otherwise not only will the texture deteriorate when it cools, but it will also taste fishy.
Taking advantage of this period of time, Yang Ying could go out and buy something.
After leaving home, Yang Ying went directly to a nearby hardware store.
Seeing him coming, the owner of the hardware store, a middle-aged man in his fifties, said hello to him.
"Xiao Yang, I haven't seen you for a while. What do you want to order this time?"
Speaking of which, Yang Ying can be considered a regular customer of this hardware store. The crowbar he used to teach those gangsters was bought from here.
Yang Ying looked around, and then said to the middle-aged boss, "Old Zhou, a relative gave me a set of handicraft knives. I want to put some oil on them to prevent them from getting rusty. You can have them here."
"That's for sure."
Lao Zhou responded, and after thinking for a moment, he took out a small blue flat iron box from the counter and handed it to Yang Ying. At the same time, he also explained, "Use this Vaseline oil for the handicrafts at home. This one has no smell, but it’s easier to absorb dust, so you have to wipe it frequently.”
Yang Ying nodded after taking the small iron box, and then asked, "By the way, Lao Zhou, there is one more thing. I still have a leather jacket at home that I want to take care of. Do you have any maintenance oil?"
This time, Lao Zhou did not take anything, but said, "Yes, there are, but to be honest with you, leather goods are not easy to get. If they are ordinary cheap goods, you can just get some lard and vegetable oil at home and apply it on it. If it’s something precious, it’s best to send it to the store for maintenance instead of ruining it yourself.”
Yang Ying nodded again when he heard this.
"Okay, then I know what's going on. Thank you, Lao Zhou."
After paying, Yang Ying left the hardware store and walked home.
Naturally, he bought the Vaseline oil and leather care oil not for the handicraft knives and leather clothes, but for the bronze dagger and leather armor he brought back from the trial mission.
After returning home, Yang Ying took out a bottle of edible peanut oil from the kitchen and returned to her room.
Taking out the leather armor and bronze dagger from the bedside table, Yang Ying applied the Vaseline oil to the blade of the bronze dagger, then carefully spread it evenly with cotton cloth, and then smeared all the leather armor with peanut oil.
After taking care of the two pieces of equipment, Yang Ying packed everything up.
It's almost eleven o'clock now, and it's time to cook.
For making this crab claw, Yang Ying originally wanted to use steamed crab claws, but then he found that the crab claws were too big, and even the largest pot at his house couldn't steam them. In desperation, he had to boil them, but that's it. He almost didn't let go.
Pour water into the pot, add onions, ginger, garlic and cooking wine, then place the crab claws tip down and put them over direct heat.
Although it is boiled, the crab meat is not in direct contact with the water, so it is not much different from steaming.
While the crab claws were steaming, Yang Ying made a dipping sauce with onions, ginger, garlic, spicy millet, oyster sauce, white vinegar, cold salad, sesame oil and other condiments.
Generally, steaming crabs only takes about 10 minutes, but considering that the claws of this crab are relatively large and may not be cooked well, Yang Ying waited an extra 5 minutes.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Yang Ying turned off the heat and opened the lid of the pot, and a delicious aroma immediately hit her face.
After taking a deep breath, Yang Ying tore off a piece of crab meat and stuffed it into his mouth. He couldn't help but admire the tight texture and sweet taste.
It was indeed a 'delicious crab claw'. The aroma and taste were enough to surpass those in Boston that he had eaten before.
Taking the crab claws out of the pot, Yang Ying took a kitchen knife and prepared to crack open the crab claws and take out the crab meat.
As a result, as soon as he made two cuts, the Zhang Daquan kitchen knife in his hand was broken into two pieces, and there were only two white marks on the red crab claws.
"What a broken knife, it's probably hard to chop the garlic."
Yang Ying muttered, dropped the half-cut kitchen knife in her hand, and picked up another one.
After a few more cuts, although the knife did not break this time, it still failed to break open the crab claws.
Seeing that it was getting late, Yang Ying had no choice but to give up the plan of cracking open the crab claws and dug out the crab meat bit by bit from the fracture.
It has to be said that the crab claws are really big, and even Yang Ying's hand can be inserted directly through the break. After all the crab claw meat is dug out, it can be filled with two large plates.
As for the crab claws that had been hollowed out, Yang Ying thought they were useless, but in the end, they turned into a piece of material.
[Name: Strong Crab Claws]
[Type; Material]
[Introduction; Although it has been eaten and wiped clean, it still has a good hardness]
Seeing this, Yang Ying cleaned the empty crab claws and locked them in the bedside table.
By the way, his bedside table is a bit crowded now. If there are other things in the future, he may have to think about storage issues.
After bringing two plates of crab meat to the dining table and covering them with thermal covers, Yang Ying took her mobile phone and prepared to read novels in Zongheng, waiting for Lin Yixian to come back.
As a result, when he turned on his phone, he found that there was a message notification on the communication software of his few friends.
When he clicked on it, it turned out that the class teacher had sent a group notification in the class group, asking them to go to school tomorrow to pack their things, so he casually replied and received it.
Although it is close to home, Yang Ying still chose to live on campus in his last year because of the college entrance examination. However, his bedding had been packed away before, leaving only some books and sundries. There were not many things. He would bring a travel bag with him tomorrow. Just pretend to be back at school.
Not five minutes after Yang Ying opened a novel and read it, Lin Yixian came back.
What surprised Yang Ying was that she actually brought a guest back this time.
This is a rare thing. You must know that since the death of Yang Ying's father in a car accident, Lin Yixian has only invited people to his home a handful of times.
