Chapter 346: Chapter 278 Buying Pearls and Returning the Box_2

Qiu Shangqing was about to speak when Chen Xing interrupted him, modestly saying, “I just came here to get a bargain. I didn’t contribute much. Those two were captured by you guys. I don’t have the right or ability to ask for his ring, I’m already satisfied with having the body of this snake.”

Qiu Shangqing looked at Chen Xing deeply, “This snake has been dead for so many years; countless essences in its flesh have been lost. Moreover, it wasn’t the main beast of the Prohibition King. Choosing it is like choosing the case over the pearl. The Prohibition King was a peak figure in his territory, and the value of his personal ring is immeasurable; it might even skyrocket you to the top.”

“People should learn to be content,” Chen Xing shook his head. “Old Qiu, please take the ring. I didn’t see anything today.”

As he spoke, Chen Xing stretched out his fingers to cover his eyes.

“Hahaha,” Qiu Shangqing was amused by Chen Xing’s action.

He sighed, “Alright then.”

Qiu Qi also secretly marveled, taking a deep look at Chen Xing.

Being able to restrain oneself in the face of such great temptation.

Chen Xing then put the giant snake’s body into the storage ring, but the body was too large. Even after cutting it up, it still wouldn’t fit…

In the end, it was Qiu Qi who had to go back and bring four storage ornaments to fit the entire mountain-like giant snake in them.

“No need to return the ring,” Qiu Qi said generously.

Back at the Qiu family’s residence, old Qiu had to stay for a while, so Chen Xing returned alone.

On the way, Chen Xing was always ready, if the Ghost-faced Nightmare Soul-devouring Butterfly attacked again, he would enter the Dark Realm immediately.

Even if the opponent could penetrate the space in and out of the Dark Realm, it definitely wouldn’t be as fast as the Sìxiàng.

After all, for the Sìxiàng, entering and exiting the Dark Realm is like going back to their own home.

Fortunately, the journey was safe, and the Ghost-faced Nightmare Soul-devouring Butterfly did not attack again.

Safely returned to Jiuzhou University.

Just as he got back to Jiuzhou University, his mobile phone was flooded with messages.

Many of them were from the counselor, Zhao Guangming.

The content was reminding him to get to class on time, as he had taken too many leaves and missed too many classes this month, and several teachers were quite critical…

Chen Xing quickly replied and expressed his thanks to the counselor.

Zhao Guangming replied instantly, “Seeing that your messages were not getting through, I guessed you might not be at school.”

Chen Xing: “Thanks, counselor, you’ve been a great help!”

Zhao Guangming: “Actually, if you need to go out often, you could apply to finish your courses earlier. I see you have already completed two main courses, and actually, several main courses are quite easy to complete early, especially a few practical courses. With your capabilities, you could easily complete them early by demonstrating your skills, though this method might not yield high grades.”

Receiving Zhao Guangming’s suggestion, Chen Xing was somewhat tempted.

He wasn’t too fixated on high or low grades.

If he could finish his courses earlier, it would indeed make things much easier for him later, and he would have more free time.

Chen Xing: “Thank you, counselor.”

Zhao Guangming: “You’re welcome.”

Turning off his mobile phone, Chen Xing pondered for a moment, planning to find some time tomorrow to look into finishing his main courses early.

He had other matters to attend to today.

He started by buying ingredients for high-level carnivorous pet food at the Universe Commerce Guild.

These ingredients were relatively simple, not very expensive, and also relatively easy to purchase; the only rare item was the main ingredient—Transcendence monster meat.

But even if they were simple and not very expensive, they couldn’t withstand Chen Xing’s wholesale purchases by the hundred tons.

The manager at the Commerce Guild thought Chen Xing was joking when they received the message and had to confirm it several times before hurriedly approving a special internal channel—it was a huge order!

Because the local materials were not enough, the Universe Commerce Guild even had to pull materials from other branches overnight.

That night, they closed a deal worth two billion.

Chen Xing felt fortunate that he had activated the culinary assistant skill in advance, and he called his sister, “Big sis, help me out.”

Chen Lingya, who was reading, looked up blankly, unaware of the impending hectic task.

“I need to make some pet food, give me a hand, will you?”

Although it was strange that she needed to help with even a little bit of food, when Chen Lingya looked at the mountainous pile of meat chunks inside the ring, she fell silent. It was really a lot…

The expression on Chen Lingya’s face was somewhat out of control, “Do all of these need to be cooked?”

“All of them.” Chen Xing nodded emphatically.

Chen Lingya was on the verge of saying something, then stopped herself.

How long would it take to cook so much meat.

The pots at home would all be ruined before all of it could be cooked!

“I rented a large warehouse in the suburbs and also got custom-made large pots.”

Chen Xing coughed, this indeed was a big project, otherwise he wouldn’t have asked his sister for help.

The importance of the culinary assistant was very significant, and he would never expose it if it weren’t for someone he thoroughly trusted.

Besides their parents, his sister was someone Chen Xing could trust.

As long as this batch was completed, turning this mountain of snake meat into high-level carnivorous pet food, he probably wouldn’t need to worry about beast food for most of the year.

Hmm… except for Taotie.

That one must be excluded.

With its evolved size, Chen Xing estimated that he would struggle to make enough food to fill it in this lifetime…

The ten-meter-tall giant iron pot that Chen Xing custom ordered arrived; such a big pot needed customization, ordinary metal definitely wouldn’t do, as flames too powerful might pierce through the pot and flames too weak might undercook the food, easily spoiling the ingredients.

If a pot was made using rare metal materials, such a large pot made entirely of rare metal treasures would be astronomically expensive.

So, Chen Xing ultimately chose a compromise.

He used a special alloy that included a small amount of rare metals, which had strong heat resistance and conductivity.

A total of eight giant iron pots, with full power processing—every day after classes, Chen Xing and his sister rushed to the factory to work overtime on producing high-level carnivorous pet food.

Chen Xing wasn’t stingy with the high-level carnivorous pet food he produced; aside from his own beasts, his sister’s two beasts were also fully fed.

Seeing her own beasts’ energy level shooting up like a rocket daily, Chen Lingya was shocked, but she also faintly understood why her brother’s beast taming level had grown so fast.

The fact that her brother could trust her with such an important secret made Chen Lingya very happy, but this important secret also weighed heavily on her.

Chi Yu and Little Wo weren’t large and had low energy levels, getting full after just a few pounds of pet food.

The amount they ate was like a light drizzle compared to the mountainous pile of giant snake carcass.

Most of the high-level carnivorous pet food produced ended up in Taotie’s stomach; Taotie stayed in the Beast Taming Space, its body continually emanating essence, and its physical body becoming polished and increasingly monstrous, showing significant improvement each day compared to the previous day.

This giant snake’s energy level before death was unknown, even after so many years since its death and with severe leakage and loss of the flesh’s essence, with hardly one-tenth remaining.

Still, the energy contained in the high-level carnivorous pet food made from it was extremely abundant, even more nutritious than the previous meat from transcendental creatures.

The massive production of carnivorous pet food, from afar, the eight giant pots steaming with billowing white smoke seemed like eight large chimneys.

Uninformed people might even think there was a factory operating here.

Some secretly reported it, leading the university’s security team to come for an inspection.

Jiuzhou University gathered top elites from the Great Xia Dynasty; geniuses and madmen were sometimes separated by a thin line.

So, cooking with super-large iron pots was not particularly strange or bizarre to them, having seen even more peculiar and crazier things.

Thus, the security team wasn’t too troubled by it; after discovering that food was being cooked in large iron pots, they quietly reminded to not disturb others around and then left.

Following this incident, Chen Xing built a tall wall outside the factory to block the view from outside.

After Taotie’s transcendence, like unlocking a layer of shackles, Chen Xing’s state of mind also underwent a subtle change; had it been before, he would have acted much more cautiously.

After consuming the high-level carnivorous pet food, the beasts’ energy levels accelerated into the fast lane.

During this period, Chen Xing also took some time to inquire about early graduation procedures.

Field survival practice, Beast Taming Skill Studies, Beast Taming Combat Strategies, Beast Tamer Skills Studies, Integrated Combat—these five courses’ final exams all heavily emphasized beast taming strength.

For ordinary people, these might be quite difficult, but for Chen Xing, any course that could be resolved with brute strength wasn’t really a course.

So during this time, he applied for early completion of his courses.
