BXBX NOVEL Chapter 821 - Canned Product
Chapter 821
(Unedited)
…
The man spilled out everything he knew upon suffering a bout of torture from Shin Jiao. According to him, he works for the slave trader and is inserted among the slaves to know some of their secrets. His target was supposed to be the woman Shinyu Jiang.
But when the teleportation thing happened, he decided to play along and go with the slaves. Fearing that his boss would forget about him after a week of anxiousness, he decided to send out a letter.
But who would have known that this would be found out by Shin Jiao?
And so his fate was sealed, Shin Jiao burned the man into ashes.
He did not want to bother with the slave trader in Jixinyo Village anymore as the group would be entering another village before coming to one of the towns in this state.
He still needs to execute his plan and gather some materials.
Shin Jiao walks around the area and hunter some of the creatures that he could find in there. In fact, within this forest, there are many beats. But due to the barrier that he put up, those beasts are unable to find their group. The scouts are standing in the perimeter of the barrier to check if there are beasts that would enter it.
Upon returning to the camp, Shin Jiao immediately set out to work.
He began forming some of the metal ores inside his dimension into square-shaped tin cans the size of one\'s hand. This would be an ideal size for the preserved beast meat. He then began to experiment on the taste and the way to cook those beasts meat.
The reason for this is because most of the beast meat in the forest contains heavy amounts of energy. In fact, people in this world could only eat those lower-level beasts. This is because they have discovered that the higher-level beasts contain something that would poison them when eaten.
Many have tried, and many mages have experimented, but everything was a failure it was to no avail. They just could not remove that strange energy inside the higher-level beast body.
However, Shin Jiao is different; he can use three types of senses. The absolute sense and spiritual sense which he could combine called divine sense, and his psychokinesis. With these types of senses, he is able to see what is really happening in the meat.
After a day of experimenting, he found the reason and it was actually very simple. The meat from the higher level beasts contains higher amounts of mana and the elemental affinity of a certain beast. Now when exposed to fire or any heat it would cause adverse effects on the meat and the energy would become chaotic.
On the other hand, when eaten raw, its texture along would be able to break one\'s teeth and its blood is a bit poisonous.
With these conditions how could they eat those higher-level beasts?
So most people would only hunt lower-level ones for food and the higher-level beast for its pelt, bones, and some other materials except for its meat.
When he walked out of his tent, Shin Jiao found out that it was already dark he saw everyone busy with their preparation for dinner.
A slight smile appears on his face as he walks towards Nariz Gumal and the Im sibling.
Im Jae is busy preparing the food while there are two female mages assisting her. Meanwhile, Nariz Gumal is just sitting on the side polishing her handgun while Im Ao is wearing his helmet and seems to be busy learning something.
"Hey, you guys are preparing dinner already?" he said with a smile.
"Ah, yes… I notice that Master is very busy so I did not disturb you." Im Jae said as she continued to stir the large pot in front of the stove that Shin Jiao created.
He walked beside her and looks at the dish she is cooking.
"Hmmm… gruel and vegetables? No meat today?" Shin Jiao asked.
"Ummm… the others hunted some beast but they only got some inedible ones." Im Jae said with a frown.
"Where are they?"
"Well, they have already taken the materials and bury the rest…"
"Oh… I see, what a waste…" Shin Jiao said while shaking his head.
He then takes out the canned meat that he has made. When Im Jae saw the square-shaped tin can, she was a bit confused.
"What is this master?" she asked.
"Meat…" Shin Jiao said with a smile.
He then opened the tin can and a delicious smell wafted in the air which attracted the people in the open kitchen.
Even Nariz Gumal who is busy with cleaning her handgun stopped and turns her gaze towards Shin Jiao and the strange thing he is holding.
Everyone showed curiosity in their eyes as they look at the canned meat in Shin Jiao\'s hand.
He did not say anything and just uses his psychokinesis and began cutting the meat into pieces then put them in the large pot.
He then takes out four more of those canned meat and did the same thing.
Not long later, the aromatic smell of meat wafted in the air which could stir one\'s appetite attracted the attention of everyone in the kitchen. Even those people that have accidentally passed by have stopped and curiously watch what is happening.
However, the female mages assisting with the meal showed fear in their eyes. They recognize those types of meat. Those are meat that came from a high-level beast which is commonly understood as inedible food because they are poisonous.
They now doubted that the master wanted to kill them all using this type of method. But why would he do that then?
So the two just kept their silence and watch to the side.
Shin Jiao carefully stirred the large pot and take a ladle to taste.
The expression of the two female mages changed when he did this and they are now more doubtful about the circumstance they are seeing right now.
"Ahh… that\'s better…" Shin Jiao said with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Have a try…" he said gesturing to Im Jae.
She did and a surprised expression appears on her beautiful face.
"Master… this… this is high-level beast meat, right? But how?..." Im Jae is also aware of the danger this meat poses, but upon seeing that Shin Jiao was able to eat them without repercussion she decided to try them for herself and it surprised her how tasty it was.
"That would be our secret. For now, tell everyone that if ever they hunted higher level beast, they can harvest everything after carefully preparing the meat for our consumption." Shin Jiao said as he swaggers out of the open kitchen.
The two female mages showed disbelief and also asked Im Jae if they could try, and was dumbfounded upon tasting it themselves. They could not deny that higher-level meat tastes more delicious than lower-level ones. Plus they could feel subtle mana energy coursing through their bodies filling them with vigor and health.
That night, the camp was in a festive mood as they all tasted for the first time the meat of a high-level beast. Everyone could not believe that they are really eating the meat of those kinds of beasts that were deemed inedible. It was truly a miracle.
…
The next day, Shin Jiao relayed his instruction to the hunters. He then sets up a large tent where there are large pots with strange symbols carved on its surface lined on the ground. Shin Jiao instructed some people that are assigned to these things on how to operate the pots.
Then on the side, there is a strange machine that appears out of nowhere with just a wave of Shin Jiao\'s hand. Upon seeing the machine everyone was totally amazed.
He assigned a couple of people and trained them how to use the canning machine and the others to prepare the meat for cutting.
Inside that tent is a small factory to create canned meat. Though he could practically automate everything, Shin Jiao decided to put this in the hands of these mages. That way, they could earn their keep.
Soon, those hunters came back and brought in a lot of different kinds of meat which was separated to their levels.
Beasts have the same level as humans. Levels 1 and 2 are considered lower-level beasts because they have no core crystal. But once a beast forms its core crystal then it would already be a higher-level beast.
And so, that morning everyone became busy as Shin Jiao\'s plan on creating a new product other than the magic light bulb and the magic battery began its production in the middle of the forest.
Before the day ends, they are able to produce more than 500 cans of high-level beast meat.
Since they can only hunt level 3 beasts and only with the help of Nariz Gumal or the Im sibling can they be able to at least kill level 4 beasts, the canned meat they were able to produce are mostly from level 3 beasts.
That night, everyone is contented and showed satisfaction for the first time ever since arriving in this forest.
