    Chapter 113 Shen Que, Let's Play a Game

    "Shen Que, bunnies are so cute, how could you kill a bunny?"

    Meng Ci put the dumplings on the table and went to the balcony to watch Shen Que clumsily slaughter the rabbit.

    A line from a movie suddenly popped into his head, and he said it with a smile.

    Shen Que looked up at Meng Ci but didn't stop what he was doing.

    "Bunnies may look cute, but they don't have much meat on them."

    Meng Ci squatted next to Shen Que, looking at the half-skinned rabbit. Indeed, there wasn't much meat left besides the bones.

    Mainly because this rabbit was too small, having lived less than two months since birth.

    As for the female and male rabbits in the cage, Meng Ci wouldn't even consider eating them.

    These were breeding rabbits and couldn't be eaten easily.

    "Poor rabbit," Meng Ci shook his head.

    But there was no way around it; they were raised to be eaten!

    It was the end of the world, keeping pets was too extravagant.

    Bunny, don't blame me for being heartless!

    Seeing Eggplant squatting nearby, staring intently at the rabbit in Shen Que's hands, Meng Ci immediately became wary.

    "You're not allowed to steal any," Meng Ci warned, patting Eggplant's head.

    "If you dare to steal, I'll throw you out."

    Eggplant let out a whine.

    If it can't eat, can't it at least look?

    While Shen Que dealt with the rabbit, Meng Ci started cooking.

    He took a fish out of the space and planned to make braised fish.

    He also cut a piece of pork belly, minced it, and added soy sauce, oyster sauce, thirteen spices, an egg, starch, scallions, ginger, salt, and chicken essence, mixing everything thoroughly.

    Then he formed the mixture into balls, fried them until golden brown in hot oil, and set them aside.

    Meng Ci fried a whole pot of meatballs, leaving six for the braised lion's head later, and set the rest aside for future meals.

    He took a bag of chicken wings from the space, made a few cuts, and blanched them in water with ginger, rice wine, and green onions before setting them aside.

    Meng Ci poured a cup of cola from a 500 ml bottle, drank it behind Shen Que's back, and placed the remaining cola aside to make cola chicken wings later.

    He also took out a dish of stir-fried lotus root, a plate of spicy cucumber and century egg, and a bowl of steamed pork.

    After that, Meng Ci picked some vegetables, sliced two sausages, and stir-fried them into another dish.

    The rabbit wasn't ready yet, so they would have to wait until tomorrow to eat it.

    Once the food was prepared, Meng Ci called Shen Que to eat.

    Meng Ci took out a tablet, found a collection of skits, placed it in the middle, and turned up the volume, instantly creating a festive atmosphere.

    The two men and one wolf had a warm New Year's celebration.

    "Happy New Year!"

    "Happy New Year!"

    Meng Ci and Shen Que each had a can of beer, clinked them together, and took a big gulp.

    Refreshing!

    Although they had prepared six dishes and still had plenty left over, it didn't matter as long as Eggplant was there.

    Mixing the leftover rice and dishes, Eggplant ate happily.

    Thinking about the dumplings Ruan Qing had made, Meng Ci decided to make more and store them in the space for convenience during the later stages of the apocalypse.

    After learning that Meng Ci wanted to make dumplings, Shen Que took out half a piece of pork, a dozen cabbages, scallions, ginger, garlic, and various seasonings from the space.

    Meng Ci didn't hesitate and used the necessary amount of meat.

    Previously, Shen Que had mentioned that his space could only store items and did not have preservation capabilities, so he stored only things that could last a long time.

    After processing the meat and putting it in the blender, he added various vegetables and blended them together.

    Pouring everything into a basin, he added oil, salt, and other seasonings, mixing it all with disposable gloves.

    Shen Que now knew how to knead dough, so with his great strength, he quickly kneaded two basins of dough until they were smooth.

    The two of them watched skits on the tablet while making dumplings, enjoying a harmonious moment as if they had been together for years.

    After finishing the dumplings, they placed them on the balcony to freeze.

    Dinner was also a large pot of dumplings, with Meng Ci and Shen Que serving themselves, and the rest was given to Eggplant to eat.

    Shen Que also pulled out two big bags of spicy chicken feet from his storage space.

    Meng Ci poured himself half a cup of cold cola and drank it in one go.

    "Burp!"

    "So refreshing!"

    Meng Ci contentedly patted his belly.

    Shen Que took Meng Ci's cup and refilled it with cola.

    But this time, the cola was hot.

    Meng Ci sighed inwardly.

    Cold cola is good, cold cola is wonderful, cold cola is incredibly refreshing.

    Unfortunately, under extreme cold, it's not so great.

    Drinking too much is indeed bad for your health, and if it weren't for the New Year, Shen Que probably wouldn't have allowed him to drink cold cola.

    After dinner, Meng Ci and Shen Que settled on the sofa and started playing games.

    They played a sandbox game—Minecraft—which didn't require an internet connection; they just needed to turn on Bluetooth to play together.

    Shen Que had never played before, so Meng Ci told him to start by chopping trees!

    As the saying goes, "To get rich, first chop trees."

    Shen Que listened and chopped trees with his bare hands for half an hour.

    If Meng Ci hadn't checked in, Shen Que might have kept chopping forever.

    Meng Ci threw two stone axes he had made to Shen Que and told him to use them.

    "This is indeed much faster," Shen Que said.

    Then, Meng Ci led Shen Que, the newbie, on a journey through Minecraft.

    When night fell, they dug a pit and buried themselves in it, waiting until morning.

    Shearing sheep, building houses, making beds...

    Although the game was simple to operate, it was very enjoyable.

    Once their tools were ready, Meng Ci took Shen Que into the mines to explore.

    To make Shen Que aware of the dangers of the world, Meng Ci set the game to survival mode.

    If you died, everything you had would drop, and you had to quickly pick it up or it would disappear.

    "Wow!"

    Shen Que controlled his character, moving slowly forward.

    It was dark around them, and before he could place a torch, Shen Que was startled by a zombie that suddenly appeared in front of him.

    Meng Ci rarely saw Shen Que scared, so while patting his back to comfort him, he teased him about being a coward.

    Shen Que was indignant and defended himself.

    Meng Ci knew that sometimes the game would indeed spawn a zombie right in front of you, which could be startling.

    However, Meng Ci wouldn't tell Shen Que that he had been scared too.

    After dying several times in survival mode, Meng Ci angrily restarted the game with a new map.

    This time, they chose creative mode, where they could fly around and have unlimited materials.

    Finding an open area, Meng Ci decided to build a house.

    After listening to Meng Ci's explanation, Shen Que also started building a house.

    On New Year's Eve, playing games was a perfect way to stay up late.

    The two switched between creative and survival modes, going back and forth.

    The tablet on the table still played skits.

    Sometimes, there were sounds of Meng Ci complaining that Shen Que's house was better than his, or Meng Ci switching modes.

    The room was filled with warmth, and life was peaceful.
