MTL - After Cheating, I Became the Strongest Beast Master

Chapter 37 Pet rice with excellent effects

 After resting for a long time, after the energy in Taotie's body was fully restored, Chen Xing went to the school team warehouse to get a tennis ball, and then took Taotie to the swimming pool behind the teaching building.

Zhou Hao is taking him to do swimming training in the swimming pool with his beast.

Just like how people swim fast and slow, so does the ability to control animals.

 Physical strength, power generation skills, and injury status will all affect the speed of controlling the beast.

Zhou Hao's saltwater crocodile is training diligently in the swimming pool with several small sandbags on its back.

Seeing Taotie approaching, Zhou Hao's saltwater crocodile stopped moving. As they got along with each other this week, the two beast masters of the same race became familiar with each other.

Zhou Hao's saltwater crocodile raised its head from the water and howled at Taotie non-stop.

 “Ao.” Taotie replied only one syllable coldly.

To Chen Xing, it sounded like - "Have you eaten? I ate a lot today. The water temperature is very comfortable today. Do you want to come down and play in the water together?" "Eat."

“Student Zhou, can you let me use the swimming pool for a while?”

 “You can use it.” Zhou Hao happily called the beast to land.

 Chen Xing asked Taotie to use a maelstrom on the pool, turning the pool into a drum washing machine.

 Chen Xing threw the tennis ball into the water.

“Have you awakened the second skill of your beast control?!” Zhou Hao looked at the large whirlpool in the swimming pool in shock and recognized this skill at a glance.

“Yes, you should be able to control beasts quickly, right?”

 Hearing these words, Zhou Hao's spirits perked up.

“It’s fast, we can break through level 10 in a week at most.” Zhou Hao is confident that he will awaken his second skill before the second monthly exam at the end of the month.

Just as he was talking, Zhou Hao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In the first monthly test, his ability to control beasts was 0.6 higher than Chen Xing's ability to control beasts.

 As a result, he has been left behind in just half a month, and the only advantage he could be proud of in front of Chen Xing is gone.

He looked at Taotie who jumped into the swimming pool following the tennis ball, and was stunned for a moment, "What are you doing?"

 “Training.”

"Tennis ball?" Zhou Hao couldn't help but fell into deep thought as he watched Taotie pick up the tennis ball from the bottom of the water like a dog.

  Chen Xing, who had gained some proficiency, left with Taotie, leaving only Zhou Hao who was still thinking.

 Is this training?

 This...should be training.

  Could it be some new training method that he didn't know about?

 If you don’t look back, I’ll give it a try.

 …

 Compared with primary meat-eating pet rice, intermediate meat-eating pet rice has higher requirements on the quality of ingredients.

 In terms of meat, monster meat is required as raw material. Other than that, other auxiliary materials are not much different from primary pet rice.

 After school, Chen Xing went to the largest monster meat market in the new district to select ingredients.

As the new district closest to the west among the twelve districts of Jinzhou, the terrain here is flat and the plains are open. Many monster breeding farms have been built here.

I thought the Monster Meat Market would be quite exquisite, but after entering, Chen Xing realized that he had been wrong. The huge market has a high dome, a gray concrete floor, and the smell of blood in the air.

pieces of cut meat are hung on iron hooks, and prices are clearly marked according to different parts.

 There was an endless stream of customers in the market, and more people came to buy monster meat than he imagined.

 Chen Xing had a good idea of ​​the prices of various types of monster meat of different qualities after walking around in the market for a few times.

The price of meat varies greatly. Cheap meat costs 200 per catty, while expensive meat can be sold for 33,000 per catty. Next to each piece of meat is a label of its race and energy level.

 The price difference is mainly determined by the quality of the meat and the energy level of the animal. Chen Xing had done some homework before coming here. Even if it is the same animal, different parts contain different nutrients and taste.

After choosing for a long time, Chen Xing finally bought 20 kilograms of bluestone fish belly for 8,000 yuan. The bluestone fish belly was 400 yuan per kilogram. At the same time, I bought another 2,000 yuan worth of various side dishes.

The bluestone fish is a freshwater monster that lives in shallow water areas. The N14 bluestone fish grows between 2-3 meters in length when it reaches adulthood. It has a gentle personality and feeds on algae and aquatic plants. It is a pure vegetarian.

It is so named because the scales on its back are so hard that when standing on the shore, it looks like a big bluestone sunk in the water.

 The back meat of bluestone fish is quite thick, but the belly meat is tender and chewy. It has fewer fish bones and grows quickly. It can reach adulthood in two years.

The twenty kilograms of bluestone fish belly that Chen Xing bought were adult bluestone fish with a 14-energy level. According to the butcher who cut the meat, they were full-energy-level old bluestone fish that had been raised in a big pond for three years.

 Back at his residence, Chen Xing processed the ingredients and started cooking.

 An hour later, an intermediate meat pet rice (bluestone fish belly type) was completed.

Taotie glanced at the food in confusion, then went up to smell it, wondering why the taste today was a little different from before.

 Trying to take a bite.

Taotie：Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

 It’s a new flavor that I’ve never tasted before! too delicious!

　　Perhaps it was because it suited the taste so much that I finished eleven kilograms of fish in this meal before I stopped talking. The satiated glutton lay lazily beside me.

Including the side dishes, Chen Xing estimated in his heart that the cost of this meal alone was five thousand yuan.

  It is almost the same as the price of a bottle of C-grade general nutritional reagent on the market, even if it is a bit expensive for him now.

 Selling all the resources provided by the school team every week can barely make enough for Taotie to eat one meal a day.

 Although the market price of Grade B general nutritional reagent is 25,000, the price he sells privately cannot reach the original price.

The auction house recovered it at 70% of the market price, but it could only be sold for 17,500 yuan. Two bottles are 350,000 to 50,000 yuan. I use another 8,000 yuan to subsidize my family, which is just enough to provide me with food every week.

Even Chen Xing is thinking whether mid-level meat-eating pet rice will be too expensive.

If it is just a basic meat-eating pet meal, it only costs 300 to 400 per meal. Ordinary animal meat is still much cheaper.

 Early the next morning, Chen Xing felt a tightness in his chest.

 When he opened his eyes, he saw a big head resting on his chest.

Taotie's feet are in the air and its pale white belly is in the air. As the body grows bigger, the crib becomes a little overwhelmed.

Taotie can only curl up his body when sleeping, either in a C-shape or a D-shape.

“Get up.” Chen Xing struggled to push the Taotie away. He was still a little puzzled because it was not so heavy yesterday morning.

"etc…"

Chen Xing quickly stood up from the bed and took a closer look.

Since Taotie has grown bigger and bigger, although his body size is growing every day, to the naked eye it still doesn’t look as obvious as it did when he was a child.

 But this morning it had obviously grown a lot in size, and the growth rate made him feel a little embarrassed, as if it was cheating.

  【Race】Saltwater crocodile

  【Status】Healthy (slightly hungry)

  【Energy Level】10.79

  【Energy level upper limit】38

  【Body length】277.9cm

  【Weight】131kg

【Skill】

  Intermediate skill: Maelstrom (omitted)

 Passive skills: Water simulation·Rest

 If I remember correctly, my body length yesterday was only 254 cm, and it increased by 23.9 cm overnight.

 More importantly, the energy level increased by 0.78.

However, if this rate is maintained, it may take less than two years and only one month for Taotie to grow to an adult size of eight or nine meters.

 That is, will others think I am cheating? Children are anxious about growing up. It shouldn’t be too much to think that two months looks like two years.

　　　Thanks to Detective Pikachu for the reward!
