It was unbelievably delicious.
The feeling was both warm and fresh, with a slight hint of spiciness.
Although the flavor of the magma chili pepper wasn't very obvious, the fire element brought by the magma chili made a warm current rise straight from the pit of the stomach.
In an instant, Ethan even felt like he wouldn't get cold anymore even if he went out to farm Ice Galls.
He first prepared fifty portions of Cold-Resisting Soup and placed them in the trading channel.
[Cold-Resisting Soup ×1 bowl: 50 Ice Galls]
In the blink of an eye, all fifty bowls of Cold-Resisting Soup were immediately bought out.
And right then, Ethan saw several private messages from players, ["Boss Ethan, hurry and check the world channel. Someone posted our region's situation out there."]
["What?"]
Hearing this, Ethan quickly opened the world channel.
He immediately saw a screenshot. It showed a player named Lone Traveler. He was wearing a white self-heating coat, white self-heating gloves on his hands, and holding a steaming bowl of Cold-Resisting Soup.
The caption below read, ["In weather like this, only the cold-resisting four-piece set can help you endure it. With Boss Ethan in Region 7, such a super considerate leader, we people from Region 7 feel incredibly happy."]
["Holy crap!"], World Channel Player A posted three angry emojis, ["Lone Traveler, are you here to show off?"]
["I'm so jealous! I'm freezing to death. I'm clearly curled up next to a bonfire, but I can't even feel my hands and feet anymore,"] World Channel Player B sent a runny-nose emoji.
["Um… does your Region 7 still need people?"], player Fox King asked timidly.
["Nope. Let you come split our resources?",] Lone Traveler sneered.
However, as Lone Traveler showed off like that, Ethan actually saw countless points of admiration flowing in.
And whether it was the quantity or the quality, it was even higher than what he got from Region 7 players. Could it be because they had experienced less of this "Humble-Bragging" behavior?
Ethan raised an eyebrow and immediately decided to give the players in the world channel a little "stimulus".
"Everyone, hold on a moment, put down what you're doing."
Ethan stood up and shouted to everyone in the dining hall, "It's already past five, time to drink soup first. Everyone sit down and have a bowl of Cold-Resisting Soup."
"Soup time! Soup time!"
"Thank you, Lord!"
"My disciple even knows to care about his master. Not bad!"
"I'm the one who peeled all these Ice Galls. Tch, you just processed them a little and act all impressive… whoa, it's delicious!"
Everyone sat down and began drinking the Cold-Resisting Soup.
Meanwhile, Ethan casually used the magic book to take a screenshot of the dining hall and posted it to the [World Channel], adding a caption along with it.
["The townspeople have worked hard. Treating everyone to a bowl of steaming hot Cold-Resisting Soup. There's nothing much inside, just a little Ice Gall meat, a little Snow Monster meat, a little magma chili, and some seasoning. But the flavor is surprisingly good."]
The moment Ethan posted that picture, the entire world channel exploded instantly.
["Hot soup, and so many people drinking hot soup at the same time,"] World Channel player E said enviously, ["I'm officially jealous. Boss, do you need someone to clean your place?"]
["I can warm Lord Ethan's bed. Although my body is a bit cold right now, I guarantee that as long as I drink a bowl of hot Cold-Resisting Soup, I'll warm up from the inside out until you won't believe it,"] player F said coquettishly.
["Am I the only one who noticed that the townspeople seem to be wearing fur coats?"], World Channel player Rice Dumpling said enviously, ["I'm freezing to death here, and your townspeople are already wearing fur coats? Did the lord of our region go eat shit or something!"]
["Look closely. Is it just fur coats? There are gloves and boots too!"]
["Oh my god! I'm so jealous!"]
["Actually it's nothing much, just some warm clothes,"] Ethan pretended to accidentally reveal the attributes of three items: [Self-Heating Fur Coat], [Self-Heating Gloves], and [Self-Heating Insoles].
After posting them, Ethan even deliberately added an explanation, ["Oops, my hand slipped! But I can't delete it now. What should I do? Does anyone know how to withdraw a message?"]
["Lord of Region 7, have you shown off enough?"]
The lord of Region 1, Shakun, shouted angrily while shivering, ["I'm warning you. If you want to post this kind of nonsense, go back to your own regional channel. You're trying to divide people's loyalty!"]
["Exactly!"], Region 8's lord Leon echoed, ["Lord Ethan of Region 7, I warn you! Don't cause trouble here, or we won't be polite!"]
["Hah! This guy probably only treats his own townspeople well."]
Region 2's lord David posted a cigar-smoking emoji and said, ["Who knows if he's exploiting the players under him and pouring all the resources into his townspeople. People like him are just stupid. After all, once the players in his region die off, he'll still lose the lord competition. Why are you even wasting words with him."]
["David makes a lot of sense,"] Region 8's lord Leon posted a nail-filing emoji.
Originally, countless admiration points had been flowing in.
But after Region 2's lord David and Region 8's lord Leon spoke, the amount was instantly cut in half.
That made Ethan very unhappy.
He sneered and sent a message in the regional channel, ["Everyone in the region, you can post a photo of what you're doing right now, along with pictures of your stone houses, tools, or furnaces, to the world channel! After posting, message me privately. You can exchange it for an extra bowl of Cold-Resisting Soup."]
["Holy crap, that's awesome!"], player F said excitedly, ["I was just worried one bowl wouldn't be enough. Now I get a refill! Boss, wait for me, I'll post right now!"]
["I'm going too! I'm going!"]
Players from Region 7 immediately responded enthusiastically.
After all, it wasn't just about a bowl of soup. More importantly, they wanted to win some pride for Region 7 and make players from other regions jealous.
Let them see that even though everyone here was a player, people in Region 7 were living far better lives.
Although they were still working for a capitalist boss right now, workers were still fundamentally different from other workers.
In an instant… The world channel was flooded with photos from Region 7 players.
Player "The Homebody Who Searches for Books Everywhere" posted an image: a man wearing a white self-heating coat, holding a Perfect Bronze Pickaxe in his hand. With a casual strike against a rock, the huge stone shattered apart instantly.
Caption below: ["The perfect bronze pickaxe the lord lent me is really great. Before, I could only mine ten or twenty ores a day. Now with one swing, I get ten or twenty iron ores! If I mine too many in a day, I wonder if it'll affect the market?"]
Player "The Monk from the Temple on the Mountain in the Past" posted an image: a man wearing a white fur coat standing in front of a stone house, holding a Bone Dragon Blade in his hand. With a slash toward the snowy ground outside, an Ice Gall immediately had most of its ice spikes cut off.
Caption below: ["The knife the lord lent me is really a good knife! One slash per Ice Gall. After one night of cutting, I piled up an entire stone house full. I can't even finish eating them. I just hope they don't spoil by tomorrow, otherwise it'd be such a waste!"]
