Chapter 96: Breakthrough
Song Tiantian felt her knife skills were improving rapidly. This Fierce Beast meat could be made into Dried Meat or Fertilizer.
The Hell Ghost Vine loved fertilizer made from Fierce Beast meat the most.
The Hell Ghost Vine had drained all the Blood flowing within these Fierce Beasts, so preparing them wasn’t too troublesome.
At least there wouldn’t be a situation where fresh Blood spilled everywhere.
Song Tiantian had brought two more helpers this time. Normally, Fierce Beast Fur was a bit more expensive than Fierce Beast Meat.
Therefore, Song Ranran and Father Song would definitely choose valuable items like Fierce Beast Fur and Fierce Beast Claws and Teeth.
After all, during combat, not everyone could deliver a fatal blow in one strike like the Hell Ghost Vine, allowing them to preserve these Fierce Beast Claws and Teeth intact.
Generally, during combat, after multiple exchanges, the Fierce Beast’s Fur and its Claws and Teeth, which served as weapons, would usually be severely worn down.
“Tiantian, look, there’s a Two-star Spiritual Plant here!”
Song Ranran happily presented the dug-up Spiritual Plant to Song Tiantian.
“If you like it, just put it into your Space. This trip out is to help you and your father accumulate the necessary items to become Two-star Beast Tamers. If you see anything you like, just dig it up and put it into your Space. I only need Four-star Spiritual Plants now.”
Song Tiantian had already gone through a round of digging. Although her Space was large, feeding these Spiritual Plants required a large amount of Energy Stones, otherwise, these Spiritual Plants would slowly wither in her Space.
Song Tiantian had many Spiritual Plants in her Space, but the daily consumption of Energy Stones was also considerable. Fortunately, Song Tiantian had dug up quite a few Energy Stones before and stored them in her Space.
Moreover, Song Tiantian now made her own Fertilizer. This Fierce Beast Flesh and Blood contained a large amount of Spiritual Energy. The fertilizer made from this Fierce Beast meat was much more effective than Energy Stones.
“Tiantian!”
Song Ranran looked touched. She had already taken a lot of advantage of Song Tiantian.
“Don’t call my name. If you’re really touched, hurry up and get to work. Decompose a few more Fierce Beasts. If your knife isn’t sharp, there’s a whetstone here. Practice more.”
Song Ranran’s expression froze for a moment, then she buried her head and started working.
Father Song had been working the entire time. His hands and feet were already numb, but Song Tiantian hadn’t stopped, and Song Ranran hadn’t stopped either. As their father, a grown man, he felt too embarrassed to complain about being tired.
Besides, all of this was money!
How long would it take to earn this much money? A decent pelt could sell for tens of thousands, and even a poorer quality one could fetch one to two thousand.
And then there were the teeth and claws, which were even more valuable commodities. The team bought them directly, and good ones could sell for hundreds of thousands!
He calculated that he could earn about a hundred thousand per hour now.
If he worked for a whole day, he could earn over a million.
And that wasn’t even counting the Spiritual Plants along the way.
Digging these was even easier; any single plant was worth tens of thousands.
These Spiritual Plants were now hard currency. It was like cars; every household liked to have a Spiritual Plant at home to absorb Spiritual Energy.
Even if he didn’t sell them, they were good to have at home.
It was a shame, though, that Spiritual Plants were relatively rare; otherwise, he would earn even more from digging them up.
“I can’t anymore, I need to rest. I really can’t work anymore.”
Song Ranran lay on the ground without any regard for her image. She was utterly exhausted.
Her arms were numb, and she had no idea how long she had been working.
She had worked from daytime until night. The sky had already darkened, but Song Tiantian hung up a solar-powered Desk Lamp, and they continued working under the dim light, aided by the moonlight.
She glanced at her Mobile Phone; it was already one in the morning. She had started working at seven in the afternoon.
She had actually worked continuously for so long.
“Alright then! You and Father should rest for a simple four hours. It should be light by five o’clock, so you can get up and continue working then. Big White will bring over the remaining Fierce Beast Corpses.”
Song Tiantian glanced at her Watch and said to Song Ranran and Father Song.
“Tiantian, I only need two hours of rest. You’ve been working non-stop, it must be too hard for you.”
Song Ranran said to Song Tiantian.
“No need. Big White and I will take turns keeping watch. And I’m not very sleepy yet. After all, the time in the Secret Realm is limited, and I need to make the most of it. You two should sleep quickly! Tomorrow, after we finish processing these, we’ll have to move on. We’re still in the outer perimeter of the Secret Realm, where there are basically no good things.”
“Mhm mhm!”
Song Ranran also knew that now was not the time to refuse. She didn’t even take out her Sleeping Bag, leaning directly against a large tree and falling asleep.
Her whole body was dirty, with quite a bit of Bloodstains on it. She felt that her dirty Clothes would tarnish her Sleeping Bag.
As for changing Clothes, she still had to work tomorrow, so she didn’t want to change.
Song Ranran slept soundly. She thought she would sleep for a long time, but she woke up as soon as it was dawn.
When she woke up, Song Tiantian had already started a fire and seemed to be cooking something. Song Tiantian was processing Fierce Beast Flesh and Blood while cooking, appearing like a tireless Robot.
“Tiantian, haven’t you rested at all?”
“You two are awake. Big White found quite a few good things in the middle of the night. I’ve made two Potions for you. This one is for your Green Snake Spider to eat, and this one is for Dad’s Iron-eating Beast. You should both give them to them. Also, you need to learn to make Fierce Beasts work.
Especially the Green Snake Spider; its claws are also very sharp and can be used for work.
Here’s some Fierce Beast Meat. I didn’t cook too much, otherwise, the smell would spread and easily attract more Fierce Beasts. Hurry up, I’m only giving you twenty minutes to eat. Whether you finish or not, you have to continue working. I’ll put away whatever you don’t finish.”
Song Tiantian said to Song Ranran and Father Song.
Song Ranran didn’t even have time to feel sorry for Song Tiantian.
Father Song had already skillfully shaved two Tree Branches and handed them to Song Ranran. Then, Father Song accepted reality and started eating.
The Fierce Beast Meat was stewed until very tender, soft, and had quite a few Spiritual Plants added to it, making it exceptionally fragrant. With each bite, a surge of Spiritual Energy was absorbed into his body.
This was truly good stuff. Father Song’s eyes lit up, and he began to eat heartily, without any pretense of refinement.
After all, they were family; Song Tiantian and Song Ranran were both his daughters.
Moreover, Father Song had passively accepted Song Tiantian’s commands.
His arms, which had been extremely tired, felt less sore and painful under the healing effect of the Gourmet Food.
He hadn’t exercised enough. He would just work more later.
This meat was truly so fragrant and delicious.
He had never eaten such delicious meat before, and he could sense that his Cultivation was also increasing.
He felt like he was about to Breakthrough.
