Chapter 985: Chapter 260 Yuan Family (4200)
Finally, An Jing and his group chose a hot pot restaurant.
[Spicy Hot Pot], a simple and unpretentious na, with rather rural and rustic decor. It was recomnded by Mrs. Guang and located deep in an alley. The hot pot restaurant was quite crowded, but Mrs. Guang was an old custor, so they quickly secured a private room.
“I’ve actually always been curious, where do these ingredients co from?”
In the private room, sitting on a small red plastic chair, An Jing perused the nu, ordering a few plates of tender beef, while being more cautious with other ingredients like tripe—he wasn’t very familiar with hot pot and was quite careful with things he wasn’t used to. In fact, he even opted against ordering the twin-flavored pot based on Mrs. Guang’s suggestion, choosing instead the classic beef tallow base.
In his previous life, An Jing was always at war. After the wars, he had a few years of peace, but resources were scarce, and most of the ti, he cooked for the martial arts hall himself. Later, he succumbed to radiation sickness and other related organ failure caused by cancer, and hot pot was too stimulating for him to eat.
Even so, An Jing was very aware that hot pot… shouldn’t be sothing one could eat in a post-apocalyptic world.
Even in his previous life, the end of the food rationing system only ca three years after the reconstruction was completed.
“Actually, in the southern jungles and coastal regions, there are livestock areas and associated spiritual material production sites. There’s even a Great Spirit Vein there, with many safe zones, though no cities have been built.”
Nian Quan and Huo Qing were both from the lower levels and were not very knowledgeable about these matters. They wouldn’t usually inquire about such information, but Zhang Zhuo, snapped out of the grand scene earlier, quickly answered An Jing’s doubt: “There are several Beast Masters collaborating with our Human Clan who need a site for bloodline experints. Our agricultural base is located there, with a whole plain of towering agricultural buildings, producing at a very high yield.”
“Besides that, there are many livestock areas originally intended to nurture so new species of Spirit Beasts. These beasts, like the Disaster Oxen that can adapt to the post-cataclysm land, are one of the products, though it’s a pity that only a few can develop Spiritual Wisdom. With waste utilization, they are supplied as food ingredients.”
“Since they’re considered Spirit Beasts, they undergo dual filtering against Demonic Qi and inherently possess Spirit Qi, which is quite nourishing for the body. Therefore, many cultivators are willing to spend money to eat them. If you ask about the price, five or six Good Deeds allows a person to enjoy a al. Although it is a bit expensive, it’s still affordable.”
“Is that so?”
An Jing glanced at the price list and found that the prices indeed couldn’t be considered exorbitant. Five Good Deeds could buy a lot of canned at, but so people simply don’t want to eat synthetic at every day, and a little indulgence after earning so money isn’t uncommon.
However, this led his curiosity in another direction: “The Beast Masters, they must be those powerful Spirit Beasts, right?”
“Even though they lack intelligence, they are, after all, of the sa kind. Is it really okay for us humans to eat Spirit Beasts this way?”
“They eat their own kind too.”
Mrs. Guang briskly ordered many dishes. She was quite shaken earlier by the actions of the True Lords and had decided to just enjoy life now—eat happily, above all else.
With an emotion mixed with excitent and a sense of resignation, she concluded her scan of the nu and explained: “Beast Masters are comparable to Nascent Soul level Great Demon Gods. To be frank, the Spirit Beast breeding is their business, and their true forms are auspicious Divine Beasts, or even Innate True Spirits. The relationship between these Acquired Spiritual Beasts and them is even greater than the gap between humans and bananas.”
“If they had Spiritual Wisdom, that would be different—they could be incorporated as one of them. If they don’t, then they’re livestock. Would humans consider monkeys as their kind?”
At this, Mrs. Guang shook her finger, seriously stating, “Impossible.”
“Not to ntion, the true purpose of the Beast Masters is to create a new ecosystem that can gradually restore today’s post-apocalyptic environnt and foster new life forms and directions for modification that can adapt to the current environnt—this is collectively supported by the four major groups. Their noble status is beyond anyone’s imagination, and the respect of All Human Clan for them cos from the heart. They can’t empathize… with livestock.”
The truth is, indeed, the truth.
An Jing could understand this situation, but still found it sowhat strange. He muttered to himself, “Creating a new ecology and new species, huh? It actually aligns with what the Taiming Sect is preparing. Although the Martial Arts Seed People technology is quite perfected in Taiming Sect’s hands, if it’s to be applied in Tianyuan Realm, it indeed needs to be cross-referenced with local technology.”
“But…”
An Jing thought of Qing Shuyu.
He thought of the ‘Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root’ beneath the Night Niche Gang.
Root bones that were completely stripped away, created using human materials; technology that transfers human consciousness freely, placing the human soul into beast bodies for enslaving and entertainnt… undoubtedly, related to the research direction of the Beast Masters.
Indeed, the sa kind of technology.
Perhaps the true goal of the Beast Masters is indeed to benefit all beings.
But such extre biological modification technology, once rampant, used for private pleasure and rampant human desires… the darkness it can create will absolutely surpass the imagination of everyone from the old era.
“Hohoho, exaggerated, there’s already a post now.”
anwhile, Huo Qing and Nian Quan huddled together, seemingly browsing so forum, as Nian Quan stretched out his tone: “The Yuan Family didn’t control it? Such videos have leaked, really unbelievable, what on earth are they thinking up there?”
Before them, rows of light pages visible only to them were being browsed; it was a certain people’s livelihood forum in Xuanye City. There, nurous highlighted posts were skyrocketing in popularity.
