Chapter 165: Chapter 145: Advanced Carnivorous Pet Food

“Very good, from now on you are their leader.”

Chen Xing patted the dog’s head, feeling content.

The Twin-fiend pups excitedly stuck out their tongues; they had no idea what a leader was, they were just happy little lickers.

When the first wheat spike in the field ripened, it signaled that the harvest season had begun.

Within just two days, the favorability of all the Twin-fiend Dogs in the breeding farm soared past the 80 limit.

Beast Taming with favorability over 80 could provide 2 Skill Point Fragments per day.

The fifty Twin-fiend Dogs in the breeding farm could provide a hundred fragments, which was equivalent to ten Skill Points, every day.

But as a result, Chen Xing had to invest all his time into it nearly every day.

Besides the fifty Twin-fiend Dogs in the breeding farm, there were also Taotie and Sìxiàng.

Thankfully, Sìxiàng could take over some of the training work; Beast Taming training Beast Taming, which greatly relieved Chen Xing’s pressure.

Watching their busy owner, the two Beast Tamings were well-behaved and didn’t bother Chen Xing.

They occasionally even came over to help with the chores.

Taotie’s size also ballooned rapidly within the month after the university cup had ended.

It now stretched to an astonishing 130 meters in length, with its Energy Level breaking through to 63.

Luckily, the reservoir was not too small and could still accommodate Taotie.

Each time it entered the water, the water level would rise, with a large amount of water flowing downstream along the edges of the reservoir.

When Taotie emerged from the water, the water level would drop sharply.

Every time Taotie rose from the water, the little lickers would gather excitedly, wagging their tails and crowding around its feet on the shore.

With every step Taotie took, it was extremely cautious, for fear that a careless move might squash the Twin-fiend Dogs into Twin-fiend pancakes.

…

Exotic Region, Jiuzhou University.

Han Yuning pushed open the door to the finance department’s office.

“Director Deng? Why was the land I applied for assigned to Professor Qin who applied after me?”

Sitting behind the office desk, Director Deng took a sip of tea, placed the tea cup down leisurely, and began to speak, “Professor Qin is a professional in the field of Beast Taming research, and he has experience in such projects.

The school’s funds are also limited, so naturally, priority is given to Professor Qin who has more experience and capability for the same project.”

Han Yuning gave a cold laugh and said, “There should be some order in how things are done! I didn’t hear about any funding shortage when I applied. How come it’s only when Professor Qin finishes applying that there’s suddenly a funding crunch?”

Director Deng sighed and explained, “Professor Han, that’s just how the rules work.

Besides, you personally have never had any experience related to Beast Taming research, right? The school needs to consider the success and return rates of the project.

Why not consider applying for other research projects? I see that you are not from a military family, perhaps you could apply for a front-line combat-related project?

Or if Professor Han insists, you could wait a bit longer for the school to have new land available to grant to you, how about that?”

Han Yuning did not speak, but after a moment of silence, she turned and left.

She knew that continuing the argument would be pointless.

Watching Han Yuning’s departing figure, Director Deng chuckled softly.

He was of course aware of Han Yuning’s background.

But so what? This was Jiuzhou University, not the military.

And it wasn’t as if she was the only one with a background.

Anyone holding a position at Jiuzhou University had some connections.

Even with the military’s reach, they couldn’t extend their influence into Jiuzhou University.

Director Deng picked up the desk phone and dialed a number.

“Professor Qin, Professor Han just came by regarding the new project.”

Han Yuning left the finance department office feeling a bit irritated.

She felt as though she had been played; the plot of land she had applied for first, had somehow been snagged from her.

If she couldn’t secure the school’s project, she’d have to find a way to purchase a suitable piece of land on her own.

After all, when Chen Xing arrived, there needed to be a place to settle the Beast Taming.

…

After spending nearly half a month, Chen Xing had finally accumulated three hundred Skill Points.

As soon as he had amassed three hundred Skill Points, Chen Xing chose to activate Advanced Carnivorous Pet Food.

[High-Level Carnivorous Pet Food]You’ve learned how to make highly nutritious high-level pet food. The high-level carnivorous pet food can accelerate the growth of your Beast Taming pets rapidly, and long-term consumption can optimize their bloodline to the current species’ limit. (300/300) (Activated)

Vast knowledge flooded into his mind.

After sorting out the new information in his mind, Chen Xing discovered that the ingredients required for high-level carnivorous pet food were even rarer than those for mid-level carnivorous pet food.

Low-level carnivorous pet food only requires ordinary meat, mid-level carnivorous pet food needs monster meat, but high-level carnivorous pet food requires monster meat from transcendence-level creatures.

Moreover, it specifically needs to be from creatures that have achieved Fleshly Transcendence.

Chen Xing opened the Universal Trade Association’s APP and started looking up transcendence-level monster meat online.

Rows of data quickly appeared.

The transcendence-level monster meat for sale on the Universal Trade Association was more abundant than he had imagined.

However, most of these were consigned goods on the platform.

The consigned monster bodies were mostly sold in complete packages; each sales listing contained various remarks.

For instance, any missing organs would be clearly indicated.

Chen Xing found that the consigned transcendence-level monster meat on the platform seldom required Great Xia Currency but needed a currency known as Spirit Gold instead.

Chen Xing then looked up more information and found out that not only the monster meat, but many rare materials also required transactions in Spirit Gold, or they proceeded through barter.

After searching online, Chen Xing learned that Spirit Gold was a common currency in the Exotic Region, made by condensing and compressing a large quantity of special metallic minerals.

His membership with the Universal Trade Association silver card provided a monthly conversion quota of a thousand Spirit Gold, which could be exchanged at a price of one hundred thousand Great Xia Currency per piece.

But even a thousand Spirit Gold wouldn’t be enough to purchase a carcass of a monster at the Transcendent Level.

Although Chen Xing didn’t need the whole creature, he just needed some of its meat.

Chen Xing then discovered another problem—there were no carcasses on the Universal Trade Association that belonged to monsters that had achieved Fleshly Transcendence.

When he inquired with customer service, they told him that the currently consigned Transcendent Level monster carcasses were either Soul Transcendence or Magic Transcendence, with none having achieved Fleshly Transcendence.

Moreover, the carcasses of monsters that had achieved Fleshly Transcendence were typically bought up as soon as they were listed for sale.

They were hard to find in the marketplace.

This strange phenomenon made Chen Xing think of a possibility.

Could it be that the flesh of Fleshly Transcendence monsters was of great value, hence its absence from the market?

If that was the case, then he’d have to ask his mentor for assistance.

If not necessary, Chen Xing was reluctant to trouble his mentor.

After all, constantly bothering her wasn’t good either.

If it was something he could resolve himself, it was best to do so.

Chen Xing sent a message to his mentor, asking for her advice on any possible channels to obtain Fleshly Transcendence monster meat.

The following day, his mentor replied to him that the flesh of Fleshly Transcendence monsters was itself a treasure, beneficial to Beast Taming pets of the same level.

People rarely sold such monsters, and many forces in the market were also buying them up.

So, it was difficult for ordinary people to purchase any.

Chen Xing’s Beast Taming pets probably didn’t need the flesh of Transcendent Level monsters for nourishment.

Using nutritional serums was more cost-effective because one component of S-rank nutritional serums was the essence of Fleshly Transcendence monster flesh.

However, if Chen Xing wanted his pets to have a taste, it wasn’t impossible; she had sent him some Fleshly Transcendence monster flesh.

But she repeated her warning several times that Chen Xing must absolutely not eat it himself.

The meat she sent was estimated to arrive the day after tomorrow.

The next evening after receiving the message, Chen Xing received the express delivery.

Upon opening the box, he saw a square piece of crystal-clear flesh inside.

It looked like a piece of red jade.

Even though he knew it was a piece of flesh removed from a body, the moment he saw it, Chen Xing still had the illusion that the meat seemed to be alive.

It radiated with vigorous vitality.

As if it was breathing.

At the same time, as the box was opened, a sweet fragrance gradually filled the air.

A rich aroma emanated from this piece of jade-like flesh.

It was tempting, to the extent that one couldn’t help wanting to claim it for themselves.

It was full of demonic allure!

This was Chen Xing’s strongest impression of the meat.
