The black bread sandwich was very hard, and it hurt her throat. Huanhuan poured two mouthfuls of water into her mouth and finally swallowed it.

Compared to her, who ate it as though she was chewing on wax, Mark ate with relish.

He finished one of the sandwiches in two or three bites.

When he was done eating three, Huanhuan was still debating whether to take a second bite.

Mark stared at her and said very seriously, “Food is very precious. Don’t waste it!”

Huanhuan was in a difficult position. This food was hard and disgusting. If she forcefully swallowed it, her throat would bleed.

She tried, “Can I borrow your kitchen?”

“Sure.” Mark put the plates away in the kitchen and washed them. “You can use whatever you want in the kitchen. Just remember to wash them after you use them.”

“Thank you.”

Mark repeatedly reminded her not to waste food. After getting her promise, he left the kitchen and went to the bas.e.m.e.nt to continue working.

There was very little s.p.a.ce in the kitchen. Coupled with the fact that she had to light up a fire and do manual labor, it was inconvenient to wear a veiled hat. Huanhuan took off the hat and put it aside.

She took some ingredients out of her s.p.a.ce.

She first cut some fatty meat and placed it in the pot to fry. Then, she cracked two eggs. After stir-frying them, she cut the black bread into slices, coated them in egg, and placed them in the pot to fry.

The rich fragrance of fried eggs quickly filled the air.

The fragrance drifted into the underground studio, hooking Mark out of his work.

He followed the scent all the way into the kitchen. “What are you doing? It smells good!”

Huanhuan picked up the fried bread and placed it on a plate. She handed it to Mark and smiled. “I cooked the bread. Try it.”

Mark was so focused on the fragrant golden bread that he didn’t even look at Huanhuan’s face.

His mouth watered at the delicious food. Ignoring the heat, he grabbed a piece of bread with his hand and took a big bite.

It tasted better than he had imagined!

The layer of egg outside was fragrant and crispy, while the bread inside was soft after being cooked. Mark had never eaten such delicious bread.

He ate all the bread on the plate.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had finished her dinner. He couldn’t help but smile awkwardly. “The food you made was so delicious. I couldn’t help it…”

Huanhuan expressed that it was okay. She was not very interested in the black bread to begin with. It did not matter if it was eaten up.

Only then did Mark notice her face. He was stunned.

He had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life.

Even the most beautiful elf in the dawn continent could not compare to her beauty.

Huanhuan was a little embarra.s.sed by his gaze. She picked up the veiled hat and put it on her head to block his view.

Only then did Mark recover from his shock. He frowned and said, “How dare you go out alone with such a face? If you encounter any evil people, your face will bring you the biggest problem.”

Huanhuan said, “I want to go back too, but I’ve been separated from my family. I’m looking for a way back now.”

Mark sympathized with her. He didn’t expect this girl to be such a pitiful person.

He said, “Wait for me. I’ll get you something.”

With that, he ran out.

It didn’t take long for him to return with something dark in his hand. “I just ate your dinner. This is my apology.”

Huanhuan took the thing and looked at it. To her surprise, she realized that it was a small crossbow made of metal!

She faced the wall and tried to shoot.

The metal arrow was very sharp and pierced deeply into the wall.

Huanhuan tried her best but could not pull it out.

In the end, it was Mark who pulled it out.

Although the dwarf was short, he was quite strong.

Mark asked her what she thought about it.

“It’s very good!” Huanhuan touched the small crossbow lovingly. It was light, but it was much more lethal than ordinary bows. It was most suitable for a weak woman like her to defend herself with.

Mark was very proud to be praised for his work. “This isn’t my proudest work. I’ve been researching a more powerful weapon recently. If that thing is done, it’ll be really awesome.”

Huanhuan looked humble. “What kind of weapon is it? Can I have the honor of seeing it?”

If it were when he first saw Huanhuan during the day, Mark would definitely not agree with her request.

But after eating her delicious food just now, his perception of her had improved a lot. Coupled with her beautiful face that made one forget about everything else and her pitiful background…

Mark readily agreed to her request.

“Come with me.”

Huanhuan put away the small crossbow and followed Mark into the underground studio.

The studio was even larger than she had imagined. There were seven or eight large cabinets, each filled with strangely shaped parts. The firewood in the stove was burning brightly and red metal liquid was boiling in the big crucible.

On the big workbench in the middle was a cannon that had already taken shape. Its black metal appearance emitted a cold l.u.s.ter.

Mark stroked it as if he were stroking a child of his. He was filled with pride and intimacy. “This is the latest weapon I’ve developed.”

Huanhuan’s eyes widened.

This was a small cannon that was less than a meter long. It was very simple and far less impressive than the cannons in the modern army.

But no matter how simple it was, it was still a real cannon!

If this thing was placed on the beast continent, it could blast those disgusting worms into pieces in minutes!

If Rock City had such powerful firearms, they would no longer have to worry about being bullied.

If anyone dared to come looking for trouble, they could blast those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds away and make them into the most brilliant fireworks on the horizon!

Huanhuan praised from the bottom of her heart, “You’re really amazing. You made such a good cannon!”

Mark squared his shoulders, enjoying her praise.

But what was a cannon?

He had never heard of it.

Mark thought for a moment and felt that this name was very appropriate for the new weapon he made, so he decided to name it a cannon!

Huanhuan asked carefully, “Can this cannon be ma.s.s-produced?”

Mark frowned. “The materials used to make cannons are a little difficult to procure, and the craftsmans.h.i.+p is more complicated, but that’s not the most troublesome part.”

“Huh?”

“It’s energy crystals. These cannons rely on energy crystals to fire. Without crystals, they can’t fire sh.e.l.ls.”

A cannon that couldn’t fire sh.e.l.ls was no different from sc.r.a.p metal.

Huanhuan quickly said, “I still have a lot of crystals. As long as you can produce more cannons, I can be in charge of providing the crystals needed to make cannons. I can also use crystals as payment for making the cannons!”

Hearing the last sentence, Mark was immediately tempted.
