Beast Taming: Starting from Transmigration and Starting with a Cheat Code
Chapter 214 Procurement
"Fatty, when you go back this time, once you use all the resources that Elder Kong gave you, your internal space will undergo another huge expansion, and even a fundamental improvement and transformation."
"What are your thoughts or preparations regarding this?" Qin Ming looked over expectantly.
"Hmm?" Little Fatty raised his paw and scratched his smooth head, which was completely bald. His little eyes blinked as he fell into serious thought, as if wondering, "Is the turtle saving its appetite for a big meal?"
"...That's not what I meant," Qin Ming said, his teeth itching with anger, and lightly tapped the tortoise shell with his hand.
"Your internal space! Should we put something else in it? Didn't you raise the Crystal Spirit Carp very well last time? Why not seize this opportunity for transformation and maximize its effect?"
"Oh! Boss, you reminded Turtle!" Little Fatty suddenly realized, "Turtle needs to go buy supplies!"
Little Fatty's current space cannot accommodate real spirit beasts. Apart from special beings like the Glazed Spirit Carp, if he wants to "import" them in large quantities, he would have to go to Blue Star, where there are many kinds of creatures.
Qin Ming grabbed the chubby boy who was about to jump into the river. "Can't you keep some land animals? Or plants! Your space can't just be filled with water forever, can it?"
Turtles are supposed to be omnivorous, and after metamorphosis, they have even fewer dietary restrictions.
But Little Fatty has been an extremely picky eater since he was a child. He can't live without meat, and he especially loves seafood.
Even now, when it comes to food, the first thing that comes to mind for him is fish, shrimp, crab, and shellfish, which Qin Ming finds quite frustrating.
However, if the ecological attributes within the space develop in an unbalanced manner over a long period, it certainly won't be a good thing. Qin Ming took out his phone and skillfully opened a certain online review app.
"Hey Fatty, come on, I'll take you to eat something different. There's a restaurant nearby that's absolutely amazing with their whole roasted lamb, it gets super high ratings and lots of people recommend it."
"Hmm!" Little Fatty nodded repeatedly, his little eyes shining with longing for the unknown delicacies.
For Xiao Pang to genuinely engage in raising a certain creature, he first needed to completely accept its deliciousness, both on his taste buds and in his soul. Qin Ming went to great lengths to achieve this.
As for whether this glutton will eat it all up?
Qin Ming wasn't too worried.
He noticed that since Xiao Pang learned about the difficulty and importance of "sustainable reproduction," he not only paid extra attention to raising the animals, but also learned to be more frugal with their food.
For example, he no longer clamors to take out those precious crystal spirit carp for a treat.
In a sense, Little Fatty actually became more restrained.
Qin Ming even felt that Xiao Pang was more immersed in the joy of "possession" and "hoarding" than indulging in the pleasure of a one-time full meal and satisfying his cravings.
He would occasionally glance inward at the swimming spirit carp and the mountain of supplies in his space, and he would grin foolishly for a while. He had probably fallen in love with the reassuring feeling of "having enough food at home and not being afraid".
Aside from the mental burden of carrying this mobile warehouse while being Little Fatty's spirit master, it's all good.
Wherever Qin Ming goes, he always thinks of the supplies Little Fatty has, which are comparable to the total inventory of several large supermarkets, enough to feed and clothe them for several years.
Even considering the initial biological cycle that has formed within the space, it might be enough for them to use until the end of time. Qin Ming's sense of security was simply off the charts.
We took a taxi to the private restaurant and immediately chose the innermost private room.
Amidst the waiter's surprised gaze, Qin Ming calmly ordered a whole roasted lamb—enough for three to five burly men to have a hearty meal—along with several side dishes and staple foods, and repeatedly told them, "Please do not disturb us after all the dishes have been served."
The waiter left with an expression that said, "Young people these days can really eat." Qin Ming closed the door, and Little Fatty couldn't wait to jump out of the Spirit Control Space.
Soon after, a whole roasted lamb, its aroma filling the air and its color golden brown, was wheeled in. Little Fatty's eyes widened, and he almost drooled onto the table.
What followed was nothing short of spectacular. Little Fatty's eating habits perfectly illustrated the saying "don't judge a book by its cover," as the entire roasted lamb vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Ugh—!"
After finishing the last piece of lamb rib, roasted to a crispy golden brown, Little Fatty slumped contentedly in his chair, patting his slightly bulging belly with his little paws, and uttered a heart-stirring sigh:
"Boss, you've been too naive! Lamb is so delicious! The texture! The flavor! It's just as good as fish!"
"Yes." Qin Ming nodded with a smile, thoroughly enjoying his meal.
"Turtles should raise sheep!" Little Fatty's eyes gleamed, and he declared firmly, "Raise a whole flock! Raise a vast, green grassland!"
"Yes!" Qin Ming raised both hands in agreement.
"But Fatty," he changed the subject, deciding to give this overly excited guy a heads-up beforehand, "there's an awkward problem I need to tell you in advance—"
"Hmm?" The chubby boy tilted his head.
"You see, even with the same sheep, the quality of the ingredients is important, but the skill of the chef also determines the quality of the final dish."
Qin Ming patiently explained, "On Blue Star, this might just be a difference in taste. But on the Spirit Martial Continent, where ingredients contain spiritual energy are used, the skill level of the cook directly affects the food's ability to aid cultivation."
He pointed to the roasted lamb, now just a skeleton, on the table: "You know me, I'm a complete novice in the kitchen, a far cry from the skills of a master chef. If I were to cook the lamb you raised in your space, it would most likely be a waste."
"Hey Fatty, how about you learn to cook? I can sign you up for an online New Oriental chef training course. Perfect, you've got such a great palate, you're definitely a culinary prodigy."
"Ugh~" Upon hearing the word "study," the chubby boy's face instantly contorted into a grimace, revealing an expression of extreme pain and struggle.
That was even more painful than having to challenge a stronger enemy than himself. Even Qin Ming couldn't bear to watch anymore and wondered if he was abusing child labor.
"Sigh, actually there's another way," Qin Ming stroked his chin, "You could try to 'recruit' a highly skilled chef to cook just for you."
"Hmm?"
"Use the top-tier ingredients in your space to seduce someone, like...that one." Qin Ming didn't name names, but just smiled meaningfully. But Little Fatty understood instantly.
"Ugh!!"
Like seeing the light of dawn in the darkness, Little Fatty's eyes lit up, and he slapped the table repeatedly with his paws: "How come the turtle didn't think of that! Boss is brilliant!"
……
While Keda and Cangxuan were busy building an intelligence network, Qin Ming, along with a contented and future-oriented chubby boy, headed straight to a large-scale ecological farm in the suburbs to begin a large-scale purchase.
"Boss, this chicken keeps staring at me, and it looks pretty fierce!" Little Fatty pointed to a large rooster with bright feathers and its head held high. "Its wings, thighs...wouldn't they be delicious roasted or used in soup?"
"How about a pair? One male and one female, then we'll have an endless supply of eggs and chicken."
"Hmm! That makes sense!"
"Boss, look at this pig! It has so much meat, it looks like it has great potential! And the grunting sounds are so powerful!" Little Fatty was lying next to a pigpen, staring longingly at the plump little pig inside.
"How about a few? A mix of males and females makes breeding easier."
"Hmm! Boss knows about turtles!"
"Boss, this dog keeps barking at me, is it...?" Little Fatty became interested in a majestic Border Collie, his eyes gleaming with the desire to find food.
"Stop!" Qin Ming quickly pulled him back. "You can keep this dog to guard the house, herd sheep, or walk it, but eating it is out of the question! The dog and Cangxuan are distant relatives. Don't you feel uncomfortable eating it?"
Qin Ming tried to persuade him with empathy: "Just like you, even though you're a different species, you don't eat other turtles or tortoises, right?"
Upon hearing this, Little Fatty gave an embarrassed look and muttered softly, "Eating... When the turtle was little, it loved playing with the turtles next door. While playing... I couldn't resist taking a bite of the tip of its tail... and I must say, it was quite bouncy..."
Qin Ming: "!!!"
So, there's more to the story behind why the turtle enthusiast angrily deleted his contact information back then!
