In the early morning, before the fog on the top of the Melk Mountains had dissipated, the sun rose and illuminated the sky and the earth.
"Xiaomu, Xiaomei, I'm going out for a few days, Xiaomu, you have to protect Xiaomei!"
Wearing a linen robe, Melk shouldered a huge black iron that looked like a small car and said to Zheng Yuan.
"Master, what are you going to do?"
Xiaomei held Zheng Yuan's hand and asked doubtfully.
"The heat-absorbing stone will emit high temperatures when it is made. If it is made at home, it will melt, just like chocolate under the sun." Melk explained.
"Uncle, be careful, I will take good care of Xiaomei!" Zheng Yuan said with a smile.
"Is it like chocolate? Then master, you should come back soon, I will miss you."
Xiaomei said in a sweet voice.
"I'm right there in the back mountain. Xiaomu has to ask you to cook for me every day, just give it to Boqizi. There are still some dangers on the road!" Melk looked at Boqizi.
"Excuse me, Pochiko, I usually rely on you for the food at home!"
"Roar!"
Pochiko nodded seriously, crossed his arms, stood on the roof, and looked down at Melk.
"Uncle, just go in peace!"
Zheng Yuan waved to Melk and patted his chest, saying that everything was taken care of by me.
"Well, it's up to you!"
Melk nodded, then turned and walked toward the back hill.
"Is there any ambiguity in what I just said... It's so embarrassing."
Zheng Yuan rubbed the back of his head, his face wrinkled and full of pain.
"As expected, I still can't speak!"
------
At noon, Zheng Yuan walked towards the back mountain with a large box of fresh-keeping boxes in his arms. It was obviously only autumn, but it was as hot as summer in the back mountain.
"So hot!"
My head was sweating uncontrollably, and the temperature became higher the further down I went.
"The temperature is just like Chongqing in the dog days of summer, and there is still no wind at all. It's like standing on an asphalt road that has been exposed to the sun for a long time and walking against the sun!"
Halfway through, Zheng Yuan couldn't hold on anymore. The mountains behind Melk originally had little water, but at this temperature all of it disappeared. Zheng Yuan couldn't make ice cubes to cool himself down.
"Uncle, it's time to eat!"
Zheng Yuan looked down the mountain and shouted loudly, it was so bright there, as if the sun was setting there.
After a while, Melk appeared in front of Zheng Yuan, wearing only a pair of pants, revealing his strong muscles covered with scars.
"..."
Walking closer, Melk looked at Zheng Yuan silently.
╮（╯＿╰）╭
Zheng Yuan was helpless. When he saw that Melk didn't have the loudspeaker on him, he knew what to do.
"I just wanted to see where you were, so I came to deliver the food. Today I'm going to eat fried rice with ten yolk eggs and fried green melon. The soup is stewed sea ginger with big bones and kelp. Uncle, you didn't bring a loudspeaker and I can't hear you. What, okay, let’s eat!”
Zheng Yuan handed the crisper to Melk. The crisper, which was as tall as Zheng Yuan, contained a large number of delicious dishes. Melk sat on the floor and started eating.
Zheng Yuan sat next to Melk and was silent for a moment, speechless. In other words, Melk was talking endlessly, but Zheng Yuan couldn't hear it.
"The temperature is too high! I can hardly bear it just outside. The temperature that the uncle withstood when he was building it must have been at least several hundred degrees! But he only shed a little bit of sweat... I can't even get close. !No, I have to become stronger!"
Zheng Yuan secretly made up his mind to exercise when he got back, but he didn't know if it would be useful.
"gone!"
Picking up the big pot, Zheng Yuan left, full of determination!
------
The second day
"Very good, I'm a lot closer today than yesterday! I'm making great progress by exercising and eating a lot!"
Watching Melk enjoying his meal, Zheng Yuan closed his eyes and felt the temperature around him.
The body surface becomes a little red when the temperature is high. Food cells feel the threat of high temperature, which slows down the blood flow, tightens the pores, and transfers all body heat to exhalation.
"My lungs hurt so much, I can't last long in this state!"
After Melk finished eating, Zheng Yuan hurriedly left, frowning and thinking.
The third day
fourth day
...
The eighth day!
"call!"
Exhaling gently, Zheng Yuan was already within 100 meters of Melk's creation position, and the taste reached 80 degrees!
My whole body was red, my heartbeat was beating for more than ten seconds, my muscles were tightened, my whole body seemed to be smaller, my skin was tight, and the temperature of each exhalation reached a hundred degrees.
"It's almost ready!"
Feeling that the limit was coming, Zheng Yuan fled as fast as he could. After many days of hard work, Zheng Yuan had made great progress, but time was still short and he had reached his limit.
"My capture level should be 12 now, right? System, check my physical condition!"
After running out of the hot area, Zheng Yuan lay on the cold ground, breathing heavily.
Detection: Host, human, height: 1.54 meters, weight: 132 kilograms, age: 9 years, 8 months and 23 days, hair length: 0.84 meters (details can be viewed).
Status: Missing left arm, hyperthermia, dehydration (see details).
Combat power level: 10 (equivalent to the capture level. In terms of combat power capture level alone, if the combat power capture level reaches ten, the combat power level is ten).
Evaluation: A being whose appearance is much stronger than his combat power.
"Has it reached ten? It's good to have a system to detect it. If I had this in my previous life, I wouldn't give up halfway through fitness!"
Zheng Yuan looked at the system evaluation and felt very happy. Everything was moving in a good direction.
"Uncle will finish building it tomorrow! Will we go to Melk Forest by then, a large forest covering an area of 100,000 square kilometers, a dream forest with a maximum capture level of 20? I'm really looking forward to it!"
