In the kitchen.
GURGLE, GURGLE…
An enticing aroma wafted from the boiling pot. Lin Li lifted the lid to check on the beef meatballs he was cooking, feeling they were just about done.
He picked up a spoon, scooped out a steaming hot meatball from the pot, and tasted it. "Mm, perfectly cooked. They're ready."
Turning off the gas, Lin Li took a large bowl and filled it to the brim with meatballs for himself.
Earlier, back in that unknown Otherworld, Lin Li had planned to find a patch of woods, have a simple lunch, rest for a bit, and then continue on his journey to find a town of Indigenous People.
But because of that Giant Eagle Beast, he had been forced to return early.
'Since I'm back home, I might as well have a slightly more lavish meal. A couple of stir-fried dishes, plus a bowl of steaming hot meatball soup… Ah, this is the life!'
Once all the stir-fried dishes were on the table, Lin Li dished up a large bowl of white rice for himself in the kitchen.
