The completion of this program also brought another item into the sights of the dwarves, and that was the long-range attack weapon, the magic crossbow that originally belonged to Hallumi.
The dwarves, who liked to fight with their fists, didn't scoff at long-range weapons, but they wouldn't take the initiative to develop related technology. Some of the long-range weapons used in the tribe for sieging cities were still the same set from a thousand years ago, without any improvement.
Of course, there were those who wanted to hide underground and didn't need those things. However, the silver-bearded dwarves' neglect of long-range weapons still made Lin, this wretched fellow, speechless. Especially when the peace weapon first picked up the crossbow, the dwarf Marit's evaluation was neither fish nor fowl.
But so what if it was neither fish nor fowl? If you can, you can make this thing walk and stab a malicious creature with a spear when it gets close to it.
After defending his apprentice, Lin didn't care what this group of dwarves wanted to do and returned to his own research.
What about the dwarves who couldn't refute? What could they do? So, they very willingly returned to the development of the action logic program.
However, the combination of the Arcane Eye, the magic crossbow, and the peace weapon, coupled with the aiming geometry model that Lin personally designed, actually achieved the result of a 100% hit within the range. Even Riley, who didn't want to use his brain and was like a one-track mind, was interested in this.
"So, why don't you guys research long-range weapons?" Lin asked a silver-bearded dwarf who had royal blood in his spare time.
Jermaine replied, "I heard from my elders that no matter how we shoot, we're not as accurate as the elves, so everyone gave up on competing with the elves in archery."
After all this time, these dwarves gave up on the development of long-range weapons because of their inferiority complex …
Of course, it wasn't that no one proposed another idea, which was to directly use the magic gun instead of the crossbow.
However, the reality was that the magic gun's consumption was the biggest reason why Lin and the others were cautious about using it. The Lich, who had almost unlimited power, was an exception. Perhaps combining it with the power source of the peace weapon was a good choice, but Lin didn't plan to do that for the time being. Before figuring out the design of the peace weapon, it didn't seem like a good idea to rashly change the original design of the hardware.
Using the crossbow, in addition to being able to harvest the wild flavor of breakfast during the day, it could also be used to recycle the crossbow bolts. This was much better than a magic gun that only consumed energy and made the target unfit for consumption. If one's resistance wasn't strong enough, the part of the body that was hit would turn into a pile of rotten meat. That kind of meat was mixed with internal organs, and the size of the mixture was different. No one would have any appetite for it.
By the way, the reason why Hallumi offered up her Crossbow was because she no longer used any bladed or sharp weapons. During her time in the Wadwal Tribe, she lived a life similar to the druids of the wood elves. She tried her best to imitate their habits, including their discipline.
She couldn't use a crossbow. Instead, she was very good at using catapults and tripping ropes. Apart from having a shorter range compared to the crossbow, Hallumi's ranged attacks were still sharp.
In particular, the slings she used were made from ropes made from the bark of the World Tree. It also had Vadwal's Blessing, which allowed the catapult to automatically absorb the elements to create the most basic magic projectile when there were no projectiles on it, reaching the realm of infinite ammunition.
Even in the Wadwal Tribe, there weren't many such holy items, and one of them was given to this girl. In addition, she was also a member of the Turtledove Alliance. It could be said that Hallumi and the wood elves were very compatible.
After Fen showed her strength and led the four silver-bearded dwarves to research the 'Automation of the Peaceful Armed Forces', there had been some noise in this area. It was a small interlude in the journey.
One afternoon, a certain someone was tired of eating dragon meat. After deciding on a place to set up camp, he took the Peaceful Armed Forces' crossbow and went out to hunt some game.
When he returned, there was a litter of pigs of all sizes hanging from a long stick on his shoulder. Hallumi was quite dissatisfied with this kind of looting and confiscating of livestock. She put on a displeased expression. If it weren't for the fact that the pigs had already been slaughtered, this girl might have released the prey.
As a teacher, why should he care about a little girl's expression? If they weren't willing to help, couldn't a certain someone do it himself? When he had just transmigrated, he had to take care of his own food. So Lin did everything himself, including bleeding and digging out the internal organs. During the process, he even found some time to look for the Lich and whispered a few words to him.
The big and small pigs were dealt with separately. The big pig removed the pig leg, rubbed coarse salt on it, and thought of a way to marinate it. As for the pork, if it weren't for the lack of soy sauce and Shaoxing wine in the mysterious land, he might have studied how to make Dongpo pork. Now he could only make some simple dishes, mainly to change the taste of the dragon meat that he had been eating recently.
Of course, the focus was on the little pig. Perhaps because of the limited sauce, there was no way to recreate the taste of the crispy roast pig, but a certain someone still took out a small jar of secret sauce that was made with honey as the main ingredient. After coming to the mysterious land, the heir of the Foodie Empire had been constantly experimenting with flavors and adjusting the recipe in his daily life.
Of course, there was still a difference between this and the taste in his memory. However, considering that a certain someone wasn't a chef and was just a foodie, Lin forgave himself for his shortcomings.
With the ingredients, the focus of the cooking changed to Fen, or rather, the program that she had designed.
In order to roast the pig, it was necessary to flip it continuously for two to three hours. The cooking method was different from the way a certain Lich used to roast a whole pig. What was the most suitable person to do this kind of repetitive work? Of course, it was the program and the robot. The program was a simple thing that Fen had typed out on the spot, and the robot was of course the peaceful equipment.
However, it was a little unrealistic to expect a program that was designed on the spot to control the machine and complete all the steps of roasting the pig. Therefore, the peaceful equipment's main task was to rotate the roasting rack to flip the pig. The other processes were carried out by Lin while dripping saliva.
It was this method that angered the four dwarves. Jermaine looked at him with a troubled expression; Riley was a little angry; Freya didn't think much of it; and Marit directly exploded!
"Ah! What are you doing! This is the crystallization of the silver-bearded dwarf's highest technology, it's not for you to do such a boring thing! "
It looked like Marit wanted to fight to the death, but a certain someone directly hid behind Fen. In order to eat good food, he didn't care about offending the four dwarves.
Who would dare to provoke the former Lord Demon King who was drooling? Fen only shifted her drooling gaze to the dwarves. Marit, who was worried that she would be eaten, didn't dare to continue rushing forward. She only dared to clench her teeth and stare fiercely at a certain someone.
Unfortunately, this kind of expression was useless against a man whose skin was as thick as a city wall. If one wanted to bombard him with a cannonball, one's gaze wouldn't be able to penetrate it. Lin only seriously looked at the roasting pig that was rotating, constantly imagining what it would taste like when he ate it. How different would it be from what he remembered?
When the roasting pig that was continuously smeared with honey sauce was charred red, the aroma was not a problem. The expressions of the four dwarves also changed. It was a little different from their original cynical expressions. It was a conflicted expression with their facial features scrunched together. They were in pain, but they also constantly sniffed the aroma that they had never smelled before.
When night fell, it was supposed to be dinner time, but no one was eating. Everyone was staring straight at the roasting pig that the peaceful equipment was constantly flipping. At first, Marit would still say one or two words of jealousy, but now, she was completely silent. Under the illumination of the fire, the oil on the roasted pig's skin shone brightly. It was dazzling.
When the roasted pig was ready to eat, it was less than thirty minutes later than the usual dinner time. But don't underestimate these thirty minutes. It meant that eight people were hungry. All sixteen eyes were staring at the roasted pig. It obviously looked delicious, but someone still insisted on rotating it over the fire. Everyone had the heart to eat a person, let alone a pig.
Lin took a clean wooden board and used it as a plate. He took out the roasting fork from the roasted pig. Although the roasted pig skin was not as crispy as he imagined, Lin still took out a kitchen knife and cut the pork into cubes. After everything was ready, he took the first step and ate a piece first.
This bite was not only to tell others that the food was ready to eat, but also to let himself have a taste first. He had been looking forward to it for so long. There was no reason for him to fall behind others. Although the taste was far from the best in his memory, it was still acceptable. It wasn't bad to the point that he couldn't eat it. With a slightly disappointed mood, Lin signaled for everyone to start eating.
Fen was the second to start eating. She ate without any psychological burden. She didn't care that the freshly roasted pork was still hot. She took it with her hands and even sucked her fingers after eating.
Kaya was the third to start eating. She took out her own small knife and forked a piece of meat. She blew on it a little before carefully eating it. As soon as it entered her mouth, she held her cheeks and showed a satisfied and intoxicated expression. The girl who usually didn't show her emotions on her face rarely showed a different expression.
Seeing her companion like that, Hallumi, who was originally hesitant, couldn't help but take out her small knife and eat. She only ate one piece. The sweet taste brought an indescribable sense of satisfaction. It made her hold her cheeks and chew carefully, afraid that this moment of happiness would disappear in the blink of an eye.
"Hey, hey, girl. Didn't you say not to kill the cubs? Why did you eat it too? You're not polite at all. "
After being with her teacher for a long time, Hallumi naturally knew that this man with a bad personality liked to take advantage of others with his mouth. She couldn't help but gnash her teeth in hatred. She wanted to give up on the perfectly roasted meat and take a big bite out of this man.
She didn't want to give in and apologize so easily. She rolled her eyes and shamelessly said, "You've already killed and roasted them. Then you can't waste their precious lives. Holding a sense of gratitude and eating properly is the greatest respect for them. "
People who cared too much about face would easily lose out. One had to be as shameless as this old thing to live comfortably. This was the most useful concept that the two girls had learned from this man. Who told him to proudly say, "A shameless person is invincible in the world?"
Lin didn't care about the girl's reaction at all. These two girls weren't obedient yes-men. It was also because of this that the occasional joke was more interesting in daily life.
But the four dwarves on the other side, could they take such a joke? There were some words that could only be said to those who were friends. First of all, the other party would know if he said this with malicious intent. Second of all, he knew where the other party's bottom line was and wouldn't go overboard.
Towards these new friends, a certain person with a cheap mouth was still very restrained. He only looked at her teasingly and snorted. Although he didn't say anything, it made the dwarves even more conflicted. They all swallowed their saliva, their eyes constantly moving between the roasted suckling pig and the certain person's expression that deserved a beating. Marit even had tears in her eyes, feeling wronged.
