"At noon, I'll treat you to something delicious as proper compensation for bringing me such a great special treasure chest," Luo Feng said.
Upon hearing this, Tang Xuewei's face lit up with a smile. Just receiving Luo Feng's praise was enough to make her feel completely satisfied.
Thinking this, she replied, "Sure, I'll eat anything you treat me to. But for dinner tonight, let me treat you instead."
Luo Feng was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected Tang Xuewei to offer to cook for him. He wondered what she might prepare.
"Alright, then I won't make dinner tonight—I'll leave it to you," he said. "I've never had your cooking before, so this will be a real treat. If you need anything, just let me know."
Tang Xuewei thought for a moment before responding, "I'll have to find ingredients on the trading platform, so I'll have to work with whatever's available. I hope you won't mind. By the way, what are we having for lunch? Once I'm done here, I'll see if I can find some matching ingredients."
Luo Feng chuckled. "I just hunted a Giant Chicken today. For lunch, I'll treat you to chicken—a nice change of pace and a good source of nutrition. This one's an Excellent Giant Chicken, so it'll be great for improving physical condition."
"In that case, I won't disturb you any longer. You focus on your work, and I'll do the same. After I explore this Giant-type Island for the day, tomorrow I'll head straight toward your direction. Since we're in the same Sea Zone, we shouldn't be too far apart. It won't be long before we meet."
With that, Luo Feng closed the chat channel.
Since Tang Xuewei was planning to change into the Adjustable Protective Cover, he didn't want to interrupt her further. Instead, he resumed his work on expanding the Perfect Grade Raft.
Once the raft was fully expanded, Luo Feng planned to test out the Legendary Size-Altering Golden Banana. He couldn't help but wonder—what would it feel like to grow ten times larger?
Meanwhile, Tang Xuewei wasn't in a hurry to switch to the Epic Size-Adjusting Cover just yet. After her recent workout and the sweltering heat, she was drenched in sweat, her whole body sticky and uncomfortable. She decided to take a bath first before changing.
She prepared a basin of water, planning to let it warm in the sun before washing up.
Ten minutes later, Luo Feng finished expanding his raft.
Previously, his raft measured 10x10. Now, it was 15x15.
Thanks to the Epic Emperor Six Flavor Pill, all of Luo Feng's physical attributes had improved, significantly boosting his efficiency in tasks like this.
With the raft expansion complete, Luo Feng turned his attention to the Excellent Giant Chicken.
This would be an important food source for Luo Feng in the future.
So, Luo Feng went over and dragged the thousand-pound Giant Chicken carcass to the seaside.
It was only thanks to Luo Feng's enhanced strength that he could barely manage to move the thousand-pound Giant Chicken carcass with the help of the Legendary Grappling Hook.
Luo Feng didn't feel comfortable being too far away from this Giant Chicken. Otherwise, if that giant snake came out and stole his chicken, it would be a huge problem.
If that giant snake dared to come after Luo Feng, he wouldn't hesitate to use the Legendary Size-Altering Golden Banana to teach it a proper lesson.
Just as Luo Feng had finished dragging the Giant Chicken over and was about to rest, he suddenly heard a furious roar.
The sound came from deep within the island.
It echoed through the skies.
Instantly, the entire island became chaotic.
Animals ran wild in every direction, and giant birds flew about in panic.
This sudden commotion startled Luo Feng.
Something big was happening on the island.
Luo Feng quickly took out his Legendary Telescope and peered toward the island's interior.
Because the island was covered with towering trees, the telescope couldn't see very far.
When Luo Feng caught a glimpse of a massive dark figure through the gaps in the foliage, his eyes widened in shock.
Because what he saw seemed to be an enormous black gorilla.
At that moment, a name flashed through Luo Feng's mind.
King Kong?
Is that you, King Kong?
Why aren't you staying peacefully on Skull Island? What are you doing here?
Are there beauties here or something?
Luo Feng's mind raced with wild thoughts.
After all, he had just recently watched King Kong vs. Godzilla, so he was quite familiar with King Kong.
However, this clearly wasn't King Kong.
Probably just a distant relative.
Seeing this giant gorilla, Luo Feng recalled what Zhang San had told him earlier about the giant snake being injured.
It seemed the giant snake must have fought this gorilla not long ago.
But why would they fight?
Based on Luo Feng's experience, the most likely reason was that they were competing over some kind of treasure.
Otherwise, the giant snake wouldn't have gone out of its way to provoke the gorilla.
After all, there were plenty of other animals to hunt on this island.
If there was a chance of treasure, Luo Feng definitely wanted to check it out.
As the old saying goes, "Since you're already here, why leave empty-handed?"
Besides, Luo Feng now had the Legendary Size-Altering Golden Banana, so he had even less reason to leave without exploring.
However, Luo Feng wasn't in a hurry to charge in right away.
He planned to have lunch first, then slowly venture deeper into the island to investigate.
He'd see if he could find any useful items first.
If nothing turned up, he could always go looking for the gorilla later.
Ideally, the two giant creatures would weaken each other in battle, allowing Luo Feng to swoop in and reap the rewards.
Thinking this, Luo Feng couldn't help but chuckle at his own scheming.
King Kong can easily take down Godzilla without breaking a sweat, yet this distant relative of his struggles so much against a mere giant snake. How utterly embarrassing.
Looks like Luo Feng will have to step in personally. He's never tasted snake meat this big before.
Wonder what it tastes like?
Must be quite nourishing.
Would it be better in soup or grilled?
