Chapter 117: Chapter 107: New Skill Training
If I were the judge, even if I went against my conscience, I couldn’t have given such a high score.
Primarily because the scoring is based on the body’s instinctual level of satisfaction.
If it tastes good, it’s good, and if it doesn’t, it’s not.
No matter how hard you try to justify it, disliking sothing ans you can’t give it a high score despite lying to yourself.
Chen Xing took out the pre-marinated at cubes from the bag next to him and continued to thread them onto the skewers one by one. He warned Taotie in advance again to not swallow the skewers later on.
At first, to prevent accidents, he only bought thirty skewers, intending to reuse them.
Now only twenty remained, and ten had ended up in the belly of a certain glutton.
The intestines of an evolved creature are indeed exceptional—swallowing barbecued at without spitting out the skewers.
These alloy skewers cost three yuan each!
Thinking of this, Chen Xing kicked Taotie’s front leg.
“Ow?”
Taotie didn’t understand why its master would kick it, but it knew there must be a reason for it.
So, Taotie simply lay down on the ground, flipping its massive body to expose its white belly.
Chen Xing’s eyes twitched as the twenty-plus ter long creature acted like a dog to gain favor, causing so elderly people walking nearby to look over.
“Young man, you’ve raised this crocodile just like a dog,” the passing old man complinted.
Chen Xing couldn’t help but smile wryly as Taotie did indeed seem a bit like a dog when facing him.
But only toward him.
After the old man left, Chen Xing finished skewering the second batch of at and handed it to Sìxiàng to continue barbecuing.
At that mont, a park maintenance worker approached and saw Taotie lying like a log on the ground and Sìxiàng grilling skewers. He couldn’t help reminding him, “Young man, you can’t have open flas in the park.”
“Sorry about that.” Chen Xing quickly got up; he had chosen a spot by the pond to barbecue, plus Taotie was a Water Elent Beast.
“It’s okay, just be careful next ti. What kind of kebabs are you grilling there? They sll pretty good.”
The old man eyed the skewers Sìxiàng was grilling, blinking.
Chen Xing imdiately said, “You can try one once they’re done.”
“Oh, I wouldn’t want to trouble you.”
Soon Sìxiàng had finished grilling a new batch of skewers. Chen Xing had cut the at into rather small pieces, so each skewer didn’t have too much at on it, which made grilling and eating convenient and also made it easy to taste.
After all, the ga didn’t specify how much at had to be on each skewer, so he didn’t put much at on each of them.
It was similar to the “Beef Galore” skewers in a skewer shop.
The old man received a skewer, blew on it to cool it down, and gently bit into it.
The next second, the old man’s expression changed slightly—he felt his whole body heat up after taking a bite.
Especially his blood, which uncontrollably flowed to a particular region, a sensation he hadn’t experienced in many years.
An old tree stump that had been barren for many years was sprouting new roots once again.
The old man took a deep breath, “Young man, what kind of at is this?”
“Monster Dungeon Ghost Shark at, just bought this morning,” Chen Xing said after taking a bite himself, which made him go “Mmm.”
An old man and a young man sat in silence looking at each other.
The old man bowed slightly and gave a small piece of advice, “Just be careful not to light anything on fire around here, and keep it quiet.”
After saying that, he hurried away, apparently eager to deal with the sudden surge of energy in his body.
Watching the old man’s hasty exit, Chen Xing dared not eat any more skewers himself since he was a young man with vigorous blood and vitality, and the at was too nourishing with just one bite.
Half an hour later, all the barbecued at he brought was gone.
Sìxiàng’s barbecue skills… Dark Death Nether Fla Proficiency Level skyrocketed.
Dark Death Nether Fla (Mastery) (438/500)
Chen Xing stood up, recalled the two beasts back into Beast Taming Space, and then took a taxi to the monster at market, sending a ssage to the stall owner on the way.
Upon arriving at the stall, the bespectacled man was packing up, “You sent a ssage just now; I’ve saved so at for you, all the best cuts.”
After saying that, he handed Chen Xing a bag, “Here are the ten pounds of at you wanted.”
After paying, Chen Xing couldn’t help but reflect on how expensive monster at was.
Of course, this was also because he had purchased the tender belly at of the Dungeon Ghost Shark, which was the softest and most energy-rich part of the at, hence the price was steep. at from other parts was much cheaper.
Carrying the at ho, Chen Xing dropped it to Taotie at the bottom of the building, “Grind it into mince.”
Taotie opened its mouth wide, performing a mini “Death Roll”!
Chen Xing picked up the minced at and carried it back to his house.
It wasn’t that he was being lazy, but this at was genuinely tough to cut, hard to imagine how a lump of at as tough as cowhide could barely leave a tiny mark despite aggressively grinding the knife on it.
A Taotie-brand mincer was indeed more useful.
After marinating the at, Chen Xing took the seasoned at to the suburbs.
Barbecuing in the park was indeed not such a good idea, mainly because it attracted too much attention during the day.
That’s why this ti Chen Xing chose a more secluded spot.
“`
He needed to grind fiercely!
He aid to raise Dark Death Nether Fla to a perfect proficiency level as soon as possible.
By evening, the ten jin of at that had been skewered was finally all dealt with.
Taotie smacked its lips.
Although it didn’t eat much at, especially for its size.
But this was the flesh of a Level 71 monster, brimming with abundant energy.
After spending the entire day eating nothing but this at, it was completely full.
Especially the scent of the grilled skewer seasoning, Taotie was still savoring the taste, having never experienced such a flavor before with its first encounter with skewers.
Hmm… although it wasn’t as delicious as the pet food made by its master, it was a different taste indeed!
This novel taste made it feel very fresh, like a kid who eats healthy food every day experiencing the taste of spicy strips for the first ti.
Chen Xing checked the skill panel of Sìxiàng.
Dark Death Nether Fla (Perfect) (2248/5000)
The proficiency level had directly upgraded to perfect, and Chen Xing clearly felt the change when Sìxiàng used this skill.
Dark Death Nether Fla wasn’t like so attack skill, it was more like summoning fire itself, which could either armor the body like a suit of armor or be thrown out.
As the proficiency level grew higher and higher, Sìxiàng’s control over the fla also rapidly improved.
Even after reaching a perfect level, the Dark Death Nether Fla could take on various intricate shapes and perform complex variations under Sìxiàng’s control.
With the continuous improvent in proficiency level, the flavor of the at skewers roasted by Sìxiàng got better and better.
Every ti it flipped the skewers over the flas, the crisply golden skin gradually beca crispy under the fire’s roast, and the internal fat of the skewers was forced out by the heat, making the entire skewer fuller and juicier.
Once the surface of the at was roasted to a golden brown, Sìxiàng would skillfully sprinkle on chili powder and various spices, followed by a garnish of fresh green onions. Each bite was a feast for the taste buds.
Chen Xing couldn’t help but take another bite and then provided Sìxiàng with 2 points of skill proficiency.
“You’re definitely going to be a qualified skewer chef in the future!” Chen Xing said, giving a thumbs-up.
Sìxiàng: …
The head-hung Sìxiàng kept silent, spreading its right paw to reveal flas writhing in its palm, shape-shifting into a small black snake made of fla slithering within.
For Sìxiàng, today’s experience was indeed quite wonderful.
It had awakened the Dark Death Nether Fla skill several months ago and so far could only barely release the skill proficiently. However, today, under the guidance of Chen Xing while practicing through roasting, it felt its proficiency in Dark Death Nether Fla soar at a rapid pace.
This rate of improvent was so fast that even Sìxiàng found it incredible.
It started to wonder if this was the mystical power of a Beast Tar? If it really was, then that was simply too terrifying!
Indeed, as terrifying as it was.
Chen Xing, looking at the small black fla serpent in Sìxiàng’s palm, also felt quite satisfied.
All the result of his hard work skewering at!
“Sìxiàng, are you able to release two skills at the sa ti?” Chen Xing asked with a sudden inspiration, “For example, combining Dark Death Nether Fla with Thunder Spear?”
Hearing Chen Xing’s words, Sìxiàng also beca curious.
It attempted to combine the two skills but soon discovered that it wasn’t easy.
Dark Death Nether Fla and Thunder Spear were like two fundantally incompatible modules; as they approached each other, they produced a strong repulsion.
Although Sìxiàng tried to wrap strands of Dark Death Nether Fla around the Thunder Spear to form a magnificent spectacle of thunder and fire intertwined, every attempt ended in failure.
The mont it loosened control over both skills, they would imdiately conflict, with Dark Death Nether Fla being shattered into countless sparks flying everywhere, and Thunder Spear unleashing wild electrical arcs all around.
The scene looked extrely fearso, and Chen Xing realized that perhaps combining the two skills was not as easy as he thought. Maybe it was simply an impossible task.
Returning ho, the next day Chen Xing continued to take his Beasts to a deserted area in the suburbs for training.
This ti, he had Sìxiàng train Soul Shock.
Soul Shock only required a deck of playing cards.
And he also prepared a large bag of raw eggs for Taotie’s skill training today.
“Today your task is to train Soul Shock while also coordinating with Taotie to practice the Death Roll skill,” Chen Xing said unaffectedly.
Although Sìxiàng was puzzled as to why it had to coordinate with Taotie during its training, it didn’t question its master out of trust.
If the master says so… there must be his reasons!
Seeing Sìxiàng so obedient touched Chen Xing, saving him the trouble of preparing the persuasive speech he had ready.
As the two Beasts’ training got on track, Chen Xing also took out his tablet to continue learning related knowledge.
Previously, he had studied the breeding thods for Water Elent Beasts, which included the knowledge taught by his teacher.
But now, in addition to the Water Elent Beast, he had Sìxiàng, a multi-attribute Beast.
Beasts with different attributes have different daily living habits, and as a Beast Tar, Chen Xing naturally needed to learn relevant knowledge in advance to better care for and nurture his Beasts.
Thus, a month ago, Chen Xing consciously took ti to study in this area.
But the sea of knowledge is vast, and Chen Xing felt like a sponge, the more he learned, the more he realized his own shortcomings.
