Digging To Survive: I Can See Hints Chapter 19
Advertisement
Klein's exchange of condiments became the topic of discussion for a moment.
"Is this the difference? We are still worrying about food and drink, and the Big Boss has already begun to improve the quality of life as much as possible."
"Could it be that condiments can be synthesized?"
It had been a long time since he had eaten meat. There was a high probability that Klein could already make a fire and cook because he could trade extra bacon for condiments.
"Everyone, please give me a bite to eat. I haven't had a bite for an entire day, and I feel like I'm about to die."
"Is Klein already so full of meat that he can't finish it? There is also a piece of cured meat hanging on the trade channel. It can only be exchanged with wind runes."
Everyone's envy was self-evident. They hadn't even finished eating, and Klein was already thinking of ways to improve the quality of his life.
One had to know that no one cared about the condiments put up for trade. Although some people were hungry enough to eat the condiments, it was a forced choice.
Furthermore, eating an entire bottle of condiments often brought another problem -- drinking water.
Mike Wilson: "Hey Sir, I have a bottle of black pepper, a bottle of rose salt, and a serving of chili noodles. Can I exchange them for the cured meat on your hands?"
Klein found such a line from many private messages. Most of the traders had a condiment on hand, which was already pretty good. Two of them were already very good, but this guy actually had three!
Klein immediately replied that it was fine.
Mike Wilson: "Thank you."
Klein went to the exchange market and hung up a whole piece of cured meat. Then, he chose three condiments as the exchange item. He didn't need to worry about others being one step ahead of him.

The seller could set it to be private when he placed it up and only allow the sharing to be similar to sharing links with friends on his communication software.
Klein threw the link to Mike Wilson.
A moment later, the transaction was completed.
The black pepper powder, rose salt, and chili noodles were all in his hands. The seller also stripped the packaging and only gave him spices.
Klein had no choice but to make five additional stone bowls. Three of the bowls were used for spices, and the other two stone bowls were used for eating. One of them was for Klein to give to the little fox, while the other was for himself.
Little Fox was already drooling, swallowing from time to time. Her bright eyes could no longer be moved away, and she obediently sat by the barbecue grill, raising her head and constantly sprinkling seasoning on the barbecue.
Klein had just washed his hands with a bit of water from the water condenser. He grabbed a bit of black pepper with his fingertip and gently sprinkled it on top.
The black pepper emitted a charming smell under the roasting flames.
As for the rose salt, it didn't need to be added. The black pepper was enough to enhance the flavor.
The fox couldn't wait any longer.
"Don't rush me, you little glutton. It's almost done."
Klein poked it gently with his dagger. The roast meat was already cooked. He split the roast meat in half and placed it in two bowls.
"Be careful, it's hot."
Klein placed one of the portions in front of the fox. The fox couldn't help but stretch out its tongue and agilely roll up a piece of meat.
The tongue was pink with thorns. Little Fox took a deep breath and chewed as if it had been scalded.

Klein smiled and shook his head as he started eating.
The roasted meat was extremely delicious in his mouth. It was better than any experience Klein had before.
Klein chewed very carefully and slowly experienced the taste of the roasted meat exploding in his mouth.
After entering the catacombs, it was his first time eating meat. How refreshing!
He had also dug up cured meat today, so he hadn't eaten it yet.
Compared to the Yellow Sand Octopus meat, the taste of the One-Eyed Lizard meat was much worse.
The muscles were a little tough, so he chewed on more.
The tender taste of the octopus was completely different from the octopus he had eaten before. The man and the fox ate their fill, and their mouths felt uncomfortable after eating the roasted meat.
Klein took out a bottle of pure milk and poured half of it for the fox, then he drank another half.
The afternoon was very leisurely. Klein had already exhausted the number of excavations he had done today. When the food in his stomach was more or less digested, he began to practice his knife and short spear.
Midway, there was poop nearby, so he dug a pit to settle it. When the little fox saw the squat toilet, she ran over and sat beside him.
Klein tore the parchment map into two parts, and one of them was used as toilet paper.
After each of them was done, they would deal with it separately.
However, the stench in the air wasn't very pleasant, so Klein temporarily stopped the water condenser from producing water.
After all, it was absorbing water vapor. If the stench was sucked in, the water condenser would be in operation since noon.
Klein added 24 units of wood in one go. It could last for six hours, and he would receive 350 ml per hour.
After six hours, Klein would receive 2,100 ml.
With the remaining amount, if he didn't consume it, it would be close to 2,300 ml.
The bucket had a capacity of 12 liters, and it was fully capable of holding it.
The sky gradually darkened.
[System notification: Stone-3]
[System notification: Stone Pot has been successfully forged.]
There was one unit of stone left in the inventory.
Klein held the stone pot and planned to make meat soup for dinner. The stone pot was still placed on the grill and added to the wood.
Just as Klein was about to light the fire to cook, a private message popped up.
"Do you want earth runes?"
It was a message from Alice. Previously, it was Alice who had exchanged water runes with Klein.

Birth of an AntiHero
AntiHero's FIRST REWRITE IN THE WORKS - thanks!! :] EDIT 2/28/22 - sorry, health problems right now, but I will post after rewriting the first 80-90,000 words or so and start fresh from there! Expect the change to be uploaded before summer! So long as I can keep using my hands, that is~! ^_^ X] This story will indeed get fleshed out as my vision improves for the better. But I feel the need to emphasize that a lot of parts are written in improvised comic book format as my primary writing style, and this first book is actually the entry point and starting novel for an entire very vast series I am in the works of developing. Many side characters here will eventually be main characters with there own stories; long or short. But this one particularly will be focused and centralized around Noel. Because of this, I do plan to leave the introduction for side characters as still having a special flow for readers to witness a tad of their background, so keep that in mind after my 'obviously many' rewrites from now and going into the future! Sorry for the troubles! I will improve on my style and implementation of the story!(Although I DO plan to keep parts as 'play style' or rather, comic book style, since I find it easier for certain dialogue instances as well as the fact that the novel is inspired by that 'feeling' you get while reading comic books. But my style is still evolving, you were warned!) Thank you! - Noel Tyler Malierano. He's the youngest 'son' to receive approval from 'The Malierano Family': A Criminal Organization of hitmen and hitwomen that specialize in killing, even maintaining success within a vastly superpowered society. Noel finally manages to complete his training as the newest 'Elite' killer his family created...but, there's just one problem - He doesn't want to kill! Come along and delve into a society of conflicting morals through the eyes of a boy, desperately searching for a new path to follow. Can he even manage to free himself from his father's engrained teachings and ideals? Conversely, will killing prove a lot more difficult to ignore? --- --> Thank you very much for reading! It would be helpful for me if you all consider leaving me a comment or an inbox suggestion, a review or even a full rating wherever AND whenever you believe I need to improve on anything or if something I wrote irked you! I appreciate EVERYONE that comes to read my story, however I DO want to improve my work as a writer. I hope all of you who don't like my work will let me know somehow, so I can edit and IMPROVE my story as a whole! Thank you everyone for your time! --- JUST TO NOTE!! When a character has a cultural name like, say, a Japanese or Russian name, that is because that character IS Japanese or Russian! They don't have to be FULL of one ethnicity either - sometimes they will be mixed. This story mainly takes place on an artificial continent where all countries have sent over their respective talents, meaning characters of ALL cultures and ethnic backgrounds will show hints of that in their names. Please don't assume I'm just randomly naming characters names that don't match them. And feel free to talk to me about whatever in my story troubles you - no matter how small! I love to improve. ^-^ X] --- Just to note: Characters will slowly grow as time passes. Slow pace. THANKS for reading! Enjoy! :] --- Decided to post 2 chapters every Tuesday and Friday instead of taking a small break, but I MAY upload once in a while on different days, such as Sundays, in addition to those two. :]
