Chapter 66 The Effects of the Beast Flesh Gu
A dozen minutes later, Shi Lin felt the warmth in his body disappear and then opened his eyes.
"What a pity, there's no device to test physical fitness. I wonder how much strength a piece of beast meat can increase." Shi Lin got up from the ground, stretched his joints, and threw a punch.
Shi Lin's fist landed in front of a pumpkin the size of a basketball.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, Shi Lin's fist shattered the pumpkin.
"My strength has increased by about one percent. Although it's not a big increase, this beast meat can replace staple food. The more I eat, the more strength I can gain." Shi Lin looked at the pumpkin he had damaged and subconsciously stroked his chin.
Shi Lin wiped his hands and prepared to leave.
Although the Beast Meat Gu is very effective, the amount of beast meat that this Gu worm can convert each day is limited. Therefore, Shi Lin needs to refine more Beast Meat Gu so that his father and the others can also enjoy the benefits of this beast meat.
However, Shi Lin did not have many of the various soul beast flesh Gu in his possession.
Back then, Shi Lin thought the meat Gu wasn't very useful, so he didn't refine many of them, and Shi An disposed of the remaining soul beast meat.
Looking back now, he really regretted it.
An hour later, Shi Lin had refined three top-grade beast meat Gu, and none of them were of superior grade. It was just unknown whether all beast meat Gu were top-grade Gu worms.
"Amazing, these beast meat Gu are all of top-grade quality." Shi Lin looked at the three fat Gu worms on the table and scratched his head in confusion.
Shi Lin currently has four Beast Meat Gu, each of which requires half a pig to consume every day. Therefore, Shi Lin needs to discuss with Shi Zhen how to increase the scale of the pig farm.
After all, two pigs a day—that's more than 700 a year—which is no small number.
Upon arriving at Shi Zhen's study, Shi Lin pushed open the door and went straight inside.
"Son, why are you looking for me at this hour? Is something the matter?" Shi Zhen put down the materials in his hand and asked Shi Lin.
Shi Lin had just returned from Notting City, carrying with him contact information for some well-known caravans, but it was mostly information about secret codes and such.
Early in the morning, Shi Zhen took 30,000 gold soul coins to Notting Junior Academy, found Yan Jin, and told him what had happened the night before.
Yan Jin also promised to make Xiao Tianhe pay the price.
After exchanging pleasantries with Yan Jin for a while, Shi Zhen finally bought some caravan contact information from the intelligence shop in Notting City before returning to Shijia Village.
"Father, I have just refined a new type of Gu worm that can produce a special kind of meat. Eating it can increase your strength." Shi Lin took out a bamboo basket from his waist, took out the beast meat Gu inside, and placed it in front of Shi Zhen.
"Increase strength? That's a good thing. What price do I have to pay?" Shi Zhen glanced at the beast meat Gu, then looked up and asked Shi Lin.
"I must say, Father, you were farsighted. This kind of Gu worm requires half a pig to produce that special meat every day." Shi Lin didn't stand on ceremony with his father and directly told him about the consumption of the beast meat Gu.
After listening to Shi Lin's words, Shi Zhen looked at Shi Lin and then at the Beast Meat Gu.
Shi Zhen simply couldn't believe that such a small Gu worm could eat half a pig.
"Someone, go and fetch half a pig," Shi Zhen clapped his hands and said to the servant at the door.
"Yes, sir." A young man's voice came from outside the door into the room.
Recently, Shi Zhen purchased a large number of slaves to maintain the operation of the entire Shi Mansion.
Shi Lin wasn't in a hurry. He found a place to sit down and prepared to watch Shi Zhen begin his experiment.
Looking at Shi Lin's appearance, Shi Zhen shook his head helplessly. His son was really living a carefree life.
A dozen minutes later, two thin young men carried half a pig into the study and then left.
"Son, how do we get the Gu worms to eat?" Shi Zhen picked up the beast meat Gu on the table and asked Shi Lin.
"Just throw it on the pork." Shi Lin stood up, took the beast meat Gu, and placed it on the half-pig.
Immediately afterward, under the watchful eyes of Shi Lin and Shi Zhen, the beast meat Gu began to frantically devour the pork in front of it.
The pork in front of them was disappearing at an extremely fast speed.
In less than half an hour, the Beast Meat Gu had devoured the half-pig in front of it.
"Good heavens, they actually ate it all!" Shi Zhen stared wide-eyed at the beast meat Gu in front of him in disbelief.
After the beast meat Gu had eaten its fill, a faint layer of blood-red hue gradually emanated from its body.
Then it spat out a piece of blood-red flesh.
Although the meat looks ordinary, the aroma is absolutely amazing.
Even though it was raw meat, Shi Zhen still swallowed hard after smelling the aroma.
"Son, will eating this meat increase your strength?" Shi Zhen pointed to the palm-sized piece of meat that the beast meat Gu had spat out and asked Shi Lin.
"Yes, clean it thoroughly, roast it slowly over low heat, sprinkle it with cumin and sesame seeds, and add a pinch of salt. The aroma..." Shi Lin thought about it and couldn't help but drool.
"Someone, bring a basin of charcoal and a few basins of water." Shi Zhen clapped his hands again, signaling his servants to bring the barbecue supplies so they could start grilling the meat there.
"Yes, sir!" the servant replied immediately.
A few minutes later, a brazier of charcoal and several basins of water appeared in the study.
Shi Zhen disdainfully washed the piece of meat several times before cutting it and roasting it.
As the meat grilled over the charcoal fire, an enticing aroma filled the entire study.
Shi Lin and Shi Zhen both swallowed hard.
However, although Shi Lin was very hungry, he felt a bit full and couldn't eat anything.
Shi Zhen gave Shi Lin two skewers, and then they started eating.
Shi Lin refused and pushed the meat skewers back into Shi Zhen's hands.
Shi Zhen didn't stand on ceremony and started eating.
A few minutes later, the palm-sized piece of roasted meat was all gone into Shi Zhen's stomach.
Shi Zhen also experienced the benefits brought by the Beast Meat Gu.
"Dad, should we expand the pig farm?" Shi Lin asked, a faint smile appearing on his face as he looked at Shi Zhen, who seemed to be enjoying himself.
"We must do it! This way of improving our strength with so little money is just too good to pass up. Expanding the pig farm by a third should be enough." Shi Zhen agreed to Shi Lin's idea without any hesitation.
Looking at Shi Zhen's expression, Shi Lin nodded in satisfaction.
With the Beast Meat Gu, the Shi family members' strength was enhanced. Although they couldn't compare to Soul Masters, their ability to protect themselves was greatly improved.
