Chapter 195 Pet Beast (5K)

“Come, eat something.”

Xia An took out a bottle of glowing gin and unscrewed the cap.

The aroma of the wine gushed out of the bottle like a surging tide.

The chalk bird, which had been hiding in the corner with its wings covering its head, trembled noticeably.

叽？
A low hum of doubt and surprise.

A few seconds passed.

It seemed that the aroma of the wine had reached its tolerable point.

The chalk bird carefully spread its wings a little, revealing eyes full of appetite through the gap.

Gollum~~
A very anthropomorphic sound of swallowing saliva.

Seeing this, Xia An found it interesting.

It is worthy of being the contract dish passed down by the ancient regeneration master. Although it is a beverage, it seems to have great appeal to men, women, old and young.

Even the Cretaceous Bird, a vegetarian that lives on fruits, vegetables and green plants, finds it difficult to resist the temptation of the contract dishes.

“Come on, it’s time to eat.”

Xia An’s feeding sound seemed to have magic.

During this period, Xia An has been speaking through the association’s robot dog, with the aim of making the chalk bird familiar with his voice and accustomed to his presence.

At this moment, the chalk bird gradually spread its wings and stopped every step, indicating that Xia An’s attack plan was very effective.

Otherwise, given the Cretaceous Bird’s timid and socially anxious character, it would have probably fled in panic the moment it saw him.

“grumble?”

Finally, as Xia An waited patiently, the chalk bird slowly walked to the opened bottle of gin drink, its lively eyes full of surprise.

“Open your mouth—”

Xia An prepared to hang the bottle upside down.

The chalk bird understood human nature and immediately understood what Xia An meant and opened its mouth.

Tons tons tons~
A whole bottle of specially blended gin, Haichao, was emptied directly.

After the Chalk Bird drank heartily, Caroline’s big eyes were filled with satisfaction.

“belch!”

It burped, and its body suddenly staggered, and its feet unconsciously began to walk like a drunk.

Xia An could feel that a strong mental bond had been established between himself and the chalk bird, which was much stronger than the bond with the silverback.

“Is this the power of the glowing version of the contracted dish?”

This time, by feeding the Cretaceous bird in person, Xia An could finally get the illustrated information he had been longing for.

……

【Cretaceous bird】

[Capture level: 51↑ (malnutrition, development stunted)]

[The host successfully fed the ‘Contracted Dish’ and a symbiotic contract has been concluded! ]

[Contract terms/features: ‘Mind Link’ (purple/unimpeded communication through mutual understanding), ‘Luminous Nurturing’ (gold/bloodline gradually becomes stronger)]

……

“The capture level of a normally developed young whitebird is 60, and mine is only level 51?”

Xia An looked down, and his frown suddenly relaxed.

Good guy.

There are actually two contract terms?
[Mind Link], or telepathy, is obviously a basic purple item that comes with the feeding contract dishes.

But when he fed the glowing version of the contracted dish, it actually produced a second entry, and it was of golden quality!
“[Luminous Feeding]?”

“The bloodline is becoming stronger?”

“If we continue to feed it, is it possible to raise a pet with divine blood?”

Xia An sighed in his heart. It was a pity that even though he had raised the Cretaceous Bird to be a divine life, he would never kill it for its meat. Every contracted pet with human nature was invaluable.

Moreover, signing a symbiotic contract is like a soul-to-soul bond, and if the pet dies, he, as the owner, will also be greatly affected.

Ancient regeneration masters relied on this kind of contract to save endangered species and gradually cultivated a sizable population through artificial breeding.

Next.

Xia An continued to feed the [Golden Bread] to the Cretaceous Bird until it was full, and then tried to take the Cretaceous Bird out of the cave world.

“You mean, that giant snake is just one of the ‘Four Kings’ of this underground world?”

“Is this red wasteland beneath our feet considered the central area…”

“The ‘Four Kings’ exist in the Snake Cave, Stone Forest, Lava Sea, and Zombie Forest respectively?”

With the mental link, communication with the chalk bird is extremely smooth.

Naturally, I got more detailed information about the underground world from the Cretaceous Bird, the “indigenous resident”.

There is shyness in the voice of the chalk bird, and sometimes fear.

“It seems that the ‘Four Kings’, including the giant snake, are all ferocious beasts at level 60.”

Xia An thought that at this moment he and the chalk bird were standing at the boundary between the red wasteland and the snake cave.

Here, turn on your high-beam searchlight.

You can vaguely see the stalactite forest in the distance.

This is probably the “Stone Forest”…

Thinking of how he once controlled a commercial mass-produced robot dog to approach this place for reconnaissance, but was chased by a salamander, Xia An said to himself in surprise:
“Could it be that the overlord of this ‘Stone Forest’ is the Salamander King?”

The “Lava Sea” is easy to understand. It is located in the north of the Red Wasteland. As for what the overlord entrenched there is, the chalk bird described it clumsily for a long time, but Xia An still couldn’t figure it out:
“a mountain?”

“Will it stretch out its long neck?”

Some kind of giant turtle, perhaps?
Forget it.

Xia An didn’t worry about it. He would see it with his own eyes in the near future anyway.

As for the overlord of the “Zombie Forest”, it is called the Zombie Tree.

“Tsk, the four major regions and the ‘Four Kings’, plus the pyramid ruins in the red wasteland in the central region, and the ‘Blue Netero’ sleeping in the coffin.”

“The water in this underground world is getting deeper and deeper, and it’s becoming more and more like a fragment of a realm that has sunk into the ground and turned into an abyss.”

The return journey was long and tortuous.

It’s not that we encountered a giant snake on the safe route.

Instead, the Cretaceous Bird is extremely timid. Whenever it comes to a “snake path” left by a giant snake and smells the terrible breath, it curls up into a ball and trembles.

Xia An could only stop and comfort it through mental connection, and feed it mixed gin to give it courage.

Drink more than a dozen bottles of special gin in a row.

When reaching the surface.

Several new status items have been added to the Chalk Bird panel:
【Drunk】

[Courageous] (It feels it is terribly strong)
[Energy Explosion] (The energy of the special gin surges through its body like a tide)

“what?”

“You suddenly feel full of courage after being drunk?”

Xia An’s eyes lit up, and he vaguely found a way to make the chalk bird fight.

Since he is shy and socially anxious when sober, why not just get him drunk?

It’s just mixing gin, all you can eat!
“Ouch~”

Silverback, who was waiting outside the foundry, cast a look full of resentment.

It’s like shouting “I was here first.”

Xia An also knew through telepathy that Silverback had emotions, and immediately smiled and said:
“You can get a bottle of wine every week from now on.”

“If you complete the work and tasks I assign to you, you can get an extra bottle.”

The silverback howled with excitement, beating his chest.

“Let’s go…” Xia An jumped onto Silverback’s shoulder, “Let’s go meet that dragon beast again!”

“Ow?”

Silverback’s expression changed instantly, he was horrified and almost had a big question mark on his forehead.

“Look at how cowardly you are.”

Xia An cursed with a smile, pointing at the chalk bird that shakily spread its white wings and flew into the sky: “Isn’t this a fierce general?”

Silverback changed his expression again: Aww… (Yes, yes, here comes the fierce general!)

Xia An glanced at Silverback and said through the mind link:
“But the chalk bird is my sister.”

Silverback:?
The human face is full of flattery:
(Then it’s the fierce sister!)

Xia An didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This big King Kong was quite slippery. If he was sent to be the slave overseer of “Palu Home”, he would definitely be able to do the job.

Return to the top of the mountain where [Earth Berries] grow.

In the distance, the roar of battle had already spread among the mountain tops.

The flying chalk bird followed Xia An’s telepathic guidance and arrived at the top of the mountain first, where it started fighting with the guardian dragon beast.

“Stay away and just be a cheerleader and shout 666.”

Xia An knew that he couldn’t expect Silverback to contribute in a battle of this level, so he patted its big head and immediately rushed over to join the battle.

At this time, the sky was completely bright and the sun was rising slowly.

The drunken Cretaceous Bird rushed and charged fiercely, and was actually on par with the giant dragon beast that was several times its size.

“Click.” Xia An still had time to take pictures and check the igo picture library.

……

[Ding, ‘unknown life’ discovered, analyzing its appearance characteristics…]

[It has obvious dragon features, wings, and is similar to Tyrannosaurus Rex overall]

[It matches about 13% of the features of the level 53 ‘Angry Dragon’ in the illustration library]

[Judged to be a mutant or a new subspecies with mixed bloodlines, should the data be uploaded to the igo database? 】

No.

Xia An opened the illustration of [Angry Dragon] in surprise, and found that the 53% similarity of features was still a low number.

Except for the skin color and scales, even the body shape is almost the same.

But it could never be the Angry Dragon.

If the capture level is only 13, he will kill you instantly as soon as you show your head.

Although he is injured now, he is still fighting with the Cretaceous Bird from the sky to the ground, and the battle is hard to resolve.

That’s right.

This unknown pterosaur was injured.

One of the originally strong hind legs was broken and hung limply.

“So it turned out that the thing I hit with my punch was this thigh?” Xia An wanted to applaud the Cretaceous Bird. The drunken Cretaceous Bird was fearless and did not show any sign of social phobia.

Moreover, he discovered that both the Cretaceous Bird and the unknown pterosaur were engaged in pure muscular combat.

No skills are used at all, and it has another primitive style compared to the turn-based Pokémon game.

“The meat of the Angry Dragon is extremely unpalatable and difficult to swallow. It has no edible value at all.”

“I just don’t know if the meat of this mutant or hybrid species can be eaten, and whether it has much nutritional value…”

There are chalk birds that attract hatred.

This unknown dragon beast itself is not very intelligent.

Xia An found the right opportunity to attack, and with a [Nail Gun Fist], he condensed the food energy accumulated in his body during this period and accurately hit the dragon beast’s head.

Boom——

The dragon beast died suddenly and fell straight to the ground.

The chalk bird landed, still drunk, and screamed at the dragon beast’s corpse with a murderous look:

“Ji! (Wake up and have fun)”

“Ouch! (I haven’t fought enough)”

Xia An: “…”

Is this the drunkard’s strong fighting spirit? You really can’t mess with a drunkard!
“Okay, I’ll let you fight enough today.” Xia An was not in a hurry to deal with the body of the unknown dragon beast. Leaving it here, the remaining power could still scare the surrounding ferocious beasts and make them dare not approach and steal the [Earth Berries].

“Silverback, you keep it.”

“If you dare to steal [earth berries], you won’t be able to drink a bottle of wine in the future.”

Xia An turned over and sat on the back of the chalk bird. Whoosh, the chalk bird received his mental command and flew through the air towards the sea.

Looking down at the entire volcanic island from the air, Xia An felt a surge of pride in his heart.

After contracting the Cretaceous Bird and having such a powerful flying pet, he can almost become the “alternate island owner”.

If the information he had carefully collected over the past few days was correct.

On the surface of the island, the unknown dragon beast is the only overlord.

Ok…

A strange red shadow suddenly flashed through my mind.

“Not really.”

Cheyenne suddenly turned his head and looked toward the rapidly shrinking house in Crater Ranch.

The demons and evil spirits left behind by Senior Tang Meijun’s “self-destruction” were still lingering in the house. Since he had received so much kindness from the senior, he should help clean them up.

“Let’s go hunt for ingredients for tomorrow’s ‘Cat Island Festival’.”

“Try to clean up after the festival is over.”

whoosh-

Fly to shallow sea area.

Coincidentally.

Maybe it’s the “food luck” that has arrived.

In the sea ahead, a huge fish with a wingspan of ten meters suddenly broke through the surface of the sea and flew comfortably in the early morning sunshine.

Xia An quickly took photos and searched the igo picture library.

……

【Flying Squid】

[Capture Level: 39]

[Birds and mammals, normal individuals can reach 20 meters in length and weigh nearly 10 tons]

[The meat is chewier and more delicious than ordinary squid meat. In addition, the wings and tail are suitable for stewing. ]

[Repurchase price: 100g meat/1500 points]

……

Xia An’s eyes lit up:

“Just this one flying squid, 20 meters long and 10 tons in weight, will be a huge amount of seafood if I catch and kill it, enough for me to consume during the three-day Cat Island Festival!”

But after he calmed down and thought about it, he shook his head again.

The Cat Island Festival is mainly to entertain a group of cat customers.

In other words, it is mainly cat food.

Squid meat is rich in high-quality protein, as well as minerals such as taurine, calcium, and iron, which are beneficial and harmless to cat consumers.

However, squid meat has high purine and cholesterol content, so you cannot eat too much in one meal. Therefore, it cannot be used as the main ingredient of “cat food”.

“However… this ‘flying squid’ is classified as a bird in the illustrated manual.”

“Fantasy ingredients cannot be viewed with conventional thinking. Only by capturing and cooking them can we know their actual condition.”

Xia An ordered the chalk bird in a deep voice:
“Let’s catch up—”

……

the next morning.

Xiao Lin Longdan knocked on Xia An’s door many times but got no response. He could only go downstairs alone to have breakfast in the hotel lobby.

“Xiaolin, sit here.”

The maid Kumiko greeted and sat down at the table with Kobayashi Ryodan and Higashino Tsuyoshi.

“what?”

Kobayashi Ryodan looked around the bustling lobby and found that many of the guests were familiar faces.

After sitting down, Xiaolin Longdan lowered his voice:

“Mr. Dongye, why are there so many international chefs here?”

Dong Yegang said slowly:
“This is within my expectations. After all, do you know what a wild ‘coordinate point’ like this that is not under the control of the various countries means?”

Without waiting for Xiaolin Longdan to speak, Dongye Gang said to himself:

“It means an unexplored wilderness of ingredients! An endless treasure trove!”

Xiaolin Longdan was silent for a while, then he said nervously: “Then Master, do you have many competitors?”

Dong Yegang nodded: “A lot!”

“There are official leaders from the Gourmet Associations of various countries.”

“There are masters from secret organizations such as ‘Gourmet Club’ and ‘Neo Food Utopia’.”

“There are also many independent giants, Chef Lin…”

Xiaolin Longdan opened his eyes wide and asked subconsciously: “A giant like Mr. Higashino Tsuyoshi?”

Dong Ye was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter:

“I am just a fake Lin who is trying to attack the real Lin. In the eyes of those real giants, I am nothing more than a bigger shrimp.”

Xiaolin Longdan pursed his lips tightly and his heart was also tightening.

If it were her, facing so many challenges, she would probably be under so much pressure that she would suffer from insomnia. Does the fact that the master didn’t get up so late mean that he has insomnia?
……

“That person is Tono Tsuyoshi?”

Sitting by the window, a man and woman who looked like a middle-aged couple were casually chatting while looking around the lobby.

The woman, who was very well-maintained and had no wrinkles on her face, wiped her mouth with a napkin:
“Don’t underestimate him. If it were you, facing the late stage of backlash disease, could you hold on for so long and regain your life?”

The man is silent.

The woman continued to chuckle and said, “It’s a pity that I didn’t see Boss Xia. Compared to Dong Ye Gang, I am more curious about him.”

At this time, the man answered a phone call and said:
“The minister has arrived.”

He immediately got up and went to the hotel gate to meet people.

After a while, the man came back with a woman wearing sunglasses and a mask.

At the dining table, the woman took off her sunglasses and mask, revealing to be Sun Yun, the eldest sister of the Sun family. She is known as “Takeshita Saya” inside [neo Food Utopia].

Sun Yun sat down, and the woman who had been acting casually before now sat up straight and greeted politely, “Minister Takeshita!”

Sun Yun nodded coldly:
“Mr. Flynn, Ms. Yara.”

“This organization has summoned you from Mexico and India just to make your move at this ‘Cat Island Festival’.”

“In order to allow you to go all out to compete for the only spot, I have issued a ministerial-level logistics order. Now you can open the Utopia app and draw on a huge amount of food resources!”

Hear the words.

The middle-aged man named Flynn and the middle-aged woman named Yara immediately lowered their heads and opened the mobile phone application.

When I saw that the food mall had added many new emerald-level (30-40) and diamond-level (40-50) food items, my breathing suddenly became rapid.

Sun Yun let the two of them just look down at their phones, drinking his coffee casually while glancing across the hotel lobby.

When Sun Yun saw the table of Higashino Tsuyoshi and Kobayashi Ryodan, a hint of hesitation flashed across his eyes.

Boss Xia is not here?

At the same time, Sun Yun sighed in his heart.

In this year’s Cat Island Festival, the only spot to receive the blessing from the Cat God is not easy to get and the competition is quite fierce.

Sun Yun thought with great interest: “Will Shenzhou support Boss Xia?”

“If you don’t support me, my Sun family can help Boss Xia and win his favor.”

the other side.

The Totsuki luxury bus on the way from Sapporo to Otaru was filled with famous chefs from the Japanese food world.

Nakiri Senzaemon actually came in person.

Other familiar faces include Dojima Gin, Saiba Shiro Ichiro, and a female graduate who looks about 30 years old and mature and elegant.

Her name is Riko Ebisawa.

He is from the same class as Dojima Gin, Saiba Joichiro, and Onifu Nakiri Tsutomu, and is a member of the Golden Generation. His cooking skills have also reached the upper special grade, and he only needs to accumulate experience to catch up with the first three.

“I didn’t expect that I would have a part in this event.” Riko Ebisawa said with a smile.

Nakiri Senzaemon opened his eyes and said, “Sawa Riko, your participation in the ‘Cat Island Festival’ this time is about accumulation.”

“Well, there aren’t many opportunities to get free high-quality ingredients from the Totsuki Logistics Department.”

Riko Ebisawa seemed eager to try.

“Gin, Joichiro.”

“You two must do your best to win this spot for us Totsuki.”

“Who knows, your hope of becoming a Pseudo-Lin may also lie in the food wasteland opposite the ‘teleportation point’!”

Upon hearing this, Dojima Gin and Saiba Joichiro responded seriously at the same time.

Dojima Gin: “I heard that there will be many fake and real unicorns participating this time?”

Saibajo Ichiro: “Oh, the wild ‘teleportation point’ is of great significance, and Higashino Tsuyoshi deliberately spread the news…”

“If those dragon chefs weren’t all exploring new food ingredients, I wouldn’t be surprised that this festival attracted dragon chefs to join in the fun!”
