Chapter 364: Chapter 289 Gourmet Space

Zhao Guangming felt a hint of helplessness in his heart. Did his old man mistakenly think everyone was as mature and experienced as juniors and seniors in college? After all, the idea of freshmen stepping onto the battlefield did sound somewhat preposterous.

‘Dad, our era is different from yours.’

Zhao’s Dad: ‘In our time, it was common to see teenagers of fifteen or sixteen on the battlefield. Although Chen Xing is young, his strength is already enough to handle low-intensity battlefields. Don’t think he’s weak, let me tell you, with just one Beast Taming, he can break through your entire Beast Taming team.’

Zhao’s Dad: ‘People teach people, and if they can’t learn, things teach people, once will do. The powerhouses of Fentian Giant City will be dealt with by our high-level officials over here. The strongest enemies of Jiu Chi City only reach the Transcendence Realm, and Chen Xing has enough capability to face them.’

As Chen Xing read the message from Zhao Guangming’s dad, he couldn’t help but ponder. He could sense that the elder seemed to hold quite a lot of crucial information from his words.

For battles within the Transcendence Realm, Chen Xing felt quite confident. As long as there was no Ascension Level Powerhouse getting involved, if he couldn’t win, at least he could escape.

But he had his own concerns as well. If he summoned Taotie on the battlefield, would it attract the attention of Ascension Level Powerhouses from Fentian Giant City? If they recognized Taotie’s potential, they might take the risk of breaking the rules to find an opportunity to eliminate Taotie.

But then again, was it too early to go to the battlefield now?

Zhao’s Dad: ‘Of course, I don’t mean to send you straight to the front lines. A war usually lasts a long time; you’ll have ample time to prepare and adjust.’

‘But this truly is a rare opportunity to make your mark. If, in the end, you successfully take down Jiu Chi City, the distribution of benefits related to this city will be closely linked to the meritorious contributions made by each department during this operation.’

‘As one of the contributors, you would enjoy priority in resource distribution, while other departments would compete for this privilege.’

Chen Xing was somewhat intrigued.

It sounded quite appealing.

And there was no need to leave immediately, giving him more time to develop his Beast Taming skills.

He could allow Sìxiàng and Taotie to break through to the Second Layers of Transcendence, using up a batch of high-level carnivorous pet food first.

…

Five days passed, and Chen Xing’s official appointment was delivered.

Salamander Black Cloak Official, holding a Fourth Rank position in the current hierarchy.

Salamander positions are divided into nine levels, from top to bottom: Third Rank Salamander Chief Commander, Fourth Rank Salamander Deputy Chief Commander, Fourth Rank Black-robed Executive Officer, Fifth Rank White-robed Executive Officer, Fifth Rank Salamander Garrison Commander, Sixth Rank Salamander Regional Inspector, Seventh Rank Salamander Senior Investigator, Eighth Rank Salamander Intermediate Investigator, Ninth Rank Junior Investigator.

Along with the appointment, three sets of uniforms were issued.

The design included a large black cloak made from a type of silkworm Beast Taming fibers, with exquisite silver cloud patterns embroidered on the cuffs and sides, and a firelight pattern on the back.

The cloak’s lining was also intricately designed, with special clasps that allowed for easy adjustment of tightness.

The inner garment consisted of a full set of black elastic material, with parts made from special Beast Taming leather for a snug fit that was breathable but not constrictive.

The black hard leather boots were of a very high quality and extremely durable, made from Transcendence monster leather.

These days at school, Chen Xing occasionally heard others discussing Salamander matters, and in the school’s public areas, students clad in Salamander formal uniforms could be seen walking around, many proud to have passed the evaluation.

“Brother Chen, I passed the Salamander evaluation!” Chu Nan excitedly sent a message to Chen Xing, “Now I am officially a Ninth Rank Junior Investigator.”

“Congratulations.”

“Brother Chen, did you pass it too?”

“I did too.”

“Haha, great, maybe we’ll have a chance to work on assignments together!”

Work on assignments together? That might be possible, we’ll see.

…

Chen Xing began to steadily accumulate Skill Point Fragments, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Sìxiàng and Taotie finally broke through to Energy Level 111, stepping into the Second Layers of Transcendence, one after another.

It wasn’t as difficult as others on the internet claimed; it was said that other people’s Beast Taming required special materials every time they broke through each layer.

Apparently, the higher the potential of the Beast Taming, the easier it was to break through at lower Energy Levels.

Conversely, the lower the potential, the more difficult each layer was to break through, and some even required special Secret Treasures to succeed.

Fortunately, Sìxiàng and Taotie had not yet encountered any bottlenecks. The breakthrough from level 110 to 111 seemed no different from 109 to 110.

At the same time, the accumulated Skill Point Fragments finally reached 2000.

“Activate, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.”

The skill icon changed from gray to color.

[Buddha Jumps Over the Wall]This is a dish made from a variety of rare and exquisite ingredients, not only rich in nutrients but also providing multiple layers of taste sensation. Each bite allows one to enjoy the freshness and unique flavors of the different ingredients.

After consuming Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, one can permanently enhance their Divinity, but although the dish is splendid, do not be gluttonous. The rich nutrition requires a lot of time to be digested slowly. (2000/2000) (Activated)

Beneath Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, a new gray skill icon appeared.

[Gourmet Space]A space specially designed for storing gourmet food, ensuring that Beast Taming creatures can enjoy food anytime, with an extremely spacious interior.

It can store various kinds of food, including but not limited to fresh ingredients. After all, only ensuring the freshness of ingredients can preserve their nutritional value. (0/2500)

Chen Xing looked at the new skill; this Gourmet Space seemed somewhat redundant alongside his own Storage Ornament.

However, Chen Xing noticed a keyword, “fresh.”

Fresh, fresh ingredients, what level of freshness was this?

Living ingredients?

If it means living ingredients, then couldn’t living creatures also be stored inside?

Would the Twin-fiend Dogs at the breeding farm count as living ingredients?

Although he didn’t plan on eating them, defining them as ingredients means he could carry them with him everywhere.

After careful consideration, Chen Xing felt there was a real possibility for action.

However, the 2500 Skill Points were also a major issue.

It would take almost forty-some days to save up that many Skill Points.

But Chen Xing thought it might be worth waiting if the Gourmet Space could indeed carry the Twin-fiend Dogs.

Then he wouldn’t have to be confined to his residence in the future.

Though the Twin-fiend Dogs provided many Skill Point Fragments, they also acted like an invisible leash keeping him tied to one place.

If he could solve this problem, even 5000 Skill Points would seem worthwhile to Chen Xing.

Subsequently, Chen Xing focused on the preparation method of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

Most of the materials were rather cheap and not particularly rare, but one ingredient was quite precious—Chaos Crystal.
