Desert Island Infrastructure: Claiming the System Brings Many Blessings

Qin Chuan stared at the three pieces of meat on the ground, his mind going blank for a moment.

Four to five thousand years?

Meat of a god-level alien beast, captured four to five thousand years ago?

The purple-gold fire-breathing dragon he killed earlier was only 1,480 years old, and he was already overjoyed to have gained five points of energy after eating it. The jade star python was 1,600 years old, and he gained three points.

How much food would you need to add if it's from four to five thousand years ago?

Qin Chuan tried his best to suppress the expression on his face, not wanting to appear too excited.

"Boss, this... is it really for me?" Qin Chuan's voice was a little hoarse.

"Take it, take it." Renault waved his hand impatiently. "I have a bunch of these in my ring. I cut them off while fighting high-level beasts. I was trying to trade them for something else, but I haven't found anything suitable. Instead of taking up space, I'd rather give them to you as a favor."

As he spoke, Renault took out a few more pieces from his spatial ring.

One piece, two pieces, three pieces, four pieces.

Four more concentrated chunks of meat fell to the ground.

Adding the previous three pieces, there are seven pieces in total.

Each piece radiates energy fluctuations of different attributes. Some are scorching hot, some are icy cold, and some are heavy.

Qin Chuan's Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

He forced himself to calm down and asked, "Senior, my digestion level is level five, can I eat these things?"

Renault thought for a moment: "Level 5? That's barely enough. Level 4,000 is fine, Level 5,000 might be a bit too much, but it won't cause any major problems. Just eat slowly, don't stuff it all down at once."

Qin Chuan quickly squatted down, picked up all seven pieces of meat from the ground, and stuffed them into his spatial ring.

They moved so fast it looked like they were grabbing something.

Renault chuckled at his expression. "Kid, don't get too excited. These things are indeed useful for you at this stage, but once your food strength reaches 40,000, eating them won't have any effect. Divine-level ingredients don't repeat; eating the same type only once will give you a bonus. Eating them after that will just fill your stomach."

"I know, I know." Qin Chuan nodded repeatedly. "Thank you so much, boss."

"Alright." Renault stretched his neck. "I should go. Take care of yourself. There are many things in this jungle that are over two thousand years old, so don't go too deep into it unnecessarily."

"Take care, senior."

Renault grunted in response and his body lifted into the air.

Qin Chuan looked up and watched his figure rise to the top of the treetop, then disappear in a flash. His speed was so fast that even Qin Chuan's Rinnegan couldn't keep up.

"Sixty-nine thousand units of food power!" Qin Chuan exclaimed. "That's the speed of a peak mid-level Food God."

It's much faster than Bataan.

The jungle fell silent again.

Qin Chuan stood still, looking down at the spatial ring.

Seven pieces of meat from divine beasts that are four to five thousand years old.

What does this mean?

He had previously fought desperately in the Battle of the God of Food, using the combination of the God of Food's Spiritual Communication Technique and the Ancient Sword Demon, risking great danger to kill four strange beasts, and only managed to eat ingredients that were over a thousand to sixteen hundred years old.

Now seven pieces of paper, each four or five thousand years old, have fallen from the sky.

"I searched high and low without finding it, but it came to me effortlessly." Qin Chuan was overjoyed.

But he forced himself to calm down.

The stomach is empty now, having just finished digesting the previous batch of snake meat. Theoretically, it's time to start eating immediately.

But Qin Chuan was not in a hurry.

Renault said that four thousand years is no problem, but five thousand years might be a bit much. He needs to first distinguish which ones are at the four thousand year level and which ones are at the five thousand year level.

He took out seven pieces of meat from his spatial ring and placed them on the stone in front of him.

The Rinnegan scans each one individually.

The first piece is deep red. It comes from a giant fire bull, captured 4,200 years ago. It's a fire-type ingredient.

The second piece is dark gold. It comes from a golden-armored rhinoceros captured 4,500 years ago. It's a gold-type ingredient.

The third piece is grayish-black. It comes from a Shadow Wolf King, a creature captured 4,100 years ago. It's a dark-type ingredient.

The fourth piece is deep blue. It comes from a five-thousand-year-old abyssal Kun. It's a water-based ingredient.

The fifth piece is emerald green. It comes from a ten-thousand-year-old spirit wood beast, captured 4,800 years ago. It's a wood-type ingredient.

The sixth piece, dark purple. From a Thunder Giant Eagle, captured 4,600 years ago. A lightning-type ingredient.

The seventh piece is earth-yellow. It comes from a Mountain Stone Turtle, a creature captured 5,200 years ago. It's an Earth-type ingredient.

Seven different mythical beasts. Seven different attributes.

No duplicates.

"They're all different kinds." Qin Chuan's eyes lit up.

Seven different divine ingredients.

With so many episodes, I wonder how much energy each unit can increase!

Qin Chuan suppressed his excitement. First, he needed to find a safe and secluded place. These ingredients were too precious; he had to ensure they wouldn't be disturbed while eating them.

The stomach can only hold so much at a time; it's impossible to eat seven pieces of meat all at once. It has to be done in batches. Each batch requires three hours to digest.

Qin Chuan looked up and surveyed his surroundings.

Because of the commotion caused by his battle with the Jade Star Python, no other beasts will approach this area for a while. But given time, those that were scared away will return.

We need to find another place.

Qin Chuan put all seven pieces of meat back into his spatial ring, and then flew up.

He chose a direction: south-southeast, away from the location of the Starry Sky Giant Ape and also away from the site of the previous battle. After flying about ten kilometers, he found a peculiar terrain.

Two enormous dead trees lay fallen together, forming a natural triangular space. The roots and trunks of the dead trees intertwined and covered each other, forming a cave-like structure.

The entrance is very narrow, allowing only a sideways passage. The interior space is about ten square meters, completely covered by trees, making it impossible to see inside from the outside.

Qin Chuan went inside.

It was dark inside, but the green light from the luminous pearl was enough to illuminate the space. It wasn't large, but it was spacious enough to sit down and eat.

He sat down cross-legged and took out the first piece of meat from his spatial ring.

Crimson Flaming Giant Beef. 4200-year capture level.

Qin Chuan first marinated it briefly with Shen Mimi's sauce, then slowly cooked it using the heat energy of the Rinnegan.

The meat of the Flame Giant Bull is better than dragon meat and snake meat. The fat is evenly distributed and the marbling is clear. When pan-fried to medium-rare, the surface is slightly charred and the inside is pink.

A rich aroma of beef filled the small space, carrying the spicy heat characteristic of flammable ingredients.

Qin Chuan picked it up and took a bite.

My mouth was instantly filled with scalding hot meat juices. The heat wasn't just physical; it was also a burning sensation, an energy-like burning that traveled from my tongue all the way to my stomach.

The five-level stomach space is operating at full capacity.

boom!

A muffled thud came from inside my body. It was louder than when I ate any other food before.

Energy surged within his body. Qin Chuan could feel every meridian expanding and every muscle being infused with energy.

A faint red glow appeared on the skin's surface, lasting for more than ten seconds before fading.

A system notification popped up.

Congratulations, your food energy has increased by 1200 points. Your current food energy is 11212.

Note: This is a divine ingredient; repeated consumption will have no effect.

A piece of meat that's 4,200 years old has been added 1200 points!

The meat from the previous thousand years only added three points. The meat from the four thousand two hundred years ago added 1200 points. That's a several hundred-fold increase!

If the next few pieces are also at this level, then the seven pieces combined...

Qin Chuan took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement.

One piece of meat filled more than half of my stomach. The energy density of this 4,000-year-old ingredient is too high; one piece is equivalent to several pieces from the past.

Qin Chuan reluctantly stuffed another piece in. Dark golden rhinoceros meat. Four thousand five hundred years.

This one has a completely different texture. The metallic ingredients have a cool, metallic feel when you bite into them, like chewing on a half-melted ice cream. But the moment the energy is released, it's equally intensely hot.

hum!

My stomach is completely full.

System notification: Congratulations, your food energy is 1500. Current food energy is 12712.

"Add 1500!" Qin Chuan noted down this information.

There were still five pieces left to eat. Qin Chuan carefully put away the remaining meat, leaned against the withered tree, and closed his eyes.

Three hours. Wait until it's fully digested before eating the next round.

Five pieces of meat, based on the current pattern, should add about forty to fifty points of energy.

Once he finishes eating all seven pieces, his energy level might reach 20,000, which is practically like he's been given a cheat code!

"Renault's gift this time is more than I've earned in a whole year," Qin Chuan thought to himself.

This is the difference between high-level and low-level players in the God of Cookery battlefield. What others consider trash is a treasure to him.

Qin Chuan closed his eyes, his body slowly recovering and digesting.

The cave was quiet. Most of the sounds of the jungle outside were blocked by the thick tree trunk. Occasionally, a chirp or two of insects would drift in through the cracks.

Three hours later, Qin Chuan can have his second round of food.

Then, three hours later, the third round begins.

About nine hours later, all seven pieces of meat can be eaten.

"After we finish eating these, we'll go to the Lava Trench to find the Flame Poison Mushrooms." Qin Chuan planned his next steps in his mind. "We've got three of the four types; we're still missing the Flame Poison Mushrooms and the Dead Ash Poison Mushrooms. Once we find them all, we can make the Century Soup and remove the Gu Soul."

The dark purple lines on the back of the neck were still slowly undulating.

But Qin Chuan was no longer so anxious.

The direction is clear. The path is clear. Food supply is growing rapidly.

As long as you're alive, you can win.

Qin Chuan adjusted his breathing and entered a semi-dormant state.

The jungle outside the withered tree cave was quietly decaying. The dim light of daylight couldn't penetrate. Only the faint green glow of the luminous pearl pulsed intermittently in the darkness, illuminating Qin Chuan's tightly closed eyelids.
