Chapter 46 – Sharp Claws Scraping Bones

When Genpou comes back from the underground.

In the crypt, it just went to the second basement level of the crustacean nest, picked up some broken bones, and explored some more areas outward.

Finally, the geoduck lair was discovered.

There was no fighting, though.

But it was also almost hungry, so it asked Xu Jingnian to prepare the fire crystals, and when it was done eating, it was going to prepare to go down to the mine to continue digging for fire crystals.

Click it, click it ……

After eating ten fire crystals.

The level of the meta is once again raised.

[Favored Animal: Chinese Pangolin]

[Real name: Yuanbao]

[Attributes: Gold, Fire]

[Level: Transcendent Six (12%↑)]

[Skills: Bronze Teeth, Iron Stomach, Flame Pouring, Energy Storage]

[Specialty: Digging]

“At this rate, today is only the first day of the second week, so before the list is finalized next week, we should at least let Yuan Bao grow to the Transcendent Nine level.”

Xu Jingnian planned.

But fire crystals are now not as well stocked ……

[Fire Crystal*128]

If Yuanbao doesn’t hurry to mine and get more fire crystals back, then after it eats a few more meals ……

The number of fire crystals is about to fall below three digits!

This time.

Xu Jingnian just realized.

When there is nothing left, it feels like a hundred fire crystals are so much more ah, can’t spend it all, simply can’t spend it all ……

However, when ever really have two hundred fire crystals, will feel, just a hundred then, like a pauper …..

“There’s an old saying ‘It’s easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but hard to go from extravagance to frugality!’ , and although my situation here is different, it’s the same reasoning.”

Xu Jingnian looked at the silver treasure chest filled with fire crystals, as well as the piles of fire crystals that were only left next to it, and let out a long sigh.

The old days are no more ah ……

He asked Yuan Bao, to move the other three empty treasure chests that he had finished opening, to the House of Favored Beasts as well.

These more than a hundred fire crystals, only two boxes are enough ……

“Yuanbao, go digging!”

Xu Jingnian waved his hand.

“A!”

Genpou was giddy, it felt that digging was the best, it was so much safer than exploring the caves.

Being safe is a good thing!

“Go on, as usual, you have your master to help you rest, let go and dig, you won’t get tired.”

Xu Jingnian waved his hand.

“A!”

Genpou waved back.

It seemed to understand that this was the act of saying goodbye and followed suit ……

It then burrowed into a hole in the ground.

Xu Jingnian, on the other hand, came to the side of the bonfire and used the sharp claws of what was supposed to be a transcendent material…but had become a tool, to shave out the boar bones inside the flames.

After some time to burn.

It had now become extremely dry and the surface was blackened by the flames, turning brittle to the naked eye.

Xu Jingnian took an extremely sharp pointed claw and used the tip of his sharpest claw to press down on a piece of the boar’s barrel bone.

Press it off with ease.

“It seems like that would be fine, and there’s no need to cook or bake or anything else!”

Xu Jingnian repeatedly pressed a small piece of the boar’s crushed bone with his sharp claws, slicing it into ever finer pieces.

But not enough to be powder.

He wants to continue.

But suddenly I feel so tired, it seems that the meta started mining for a while, fatigue synchronized on the pressure.

And with this slow work of grinding bones, you can’t get into a state of rest, even if you sit on the floor and get it done.

“That won’t work, it’s made into very crumbly fine bones, but it certainly doesn’t count as powder.”

Xu Jingnian shook his head.

Although the pointed claws were sharp, trying to chop the shattered bones into powder was tantamount to fantasizing.

Unfortunately, he was just an ordinary person whose only skill would be cooking and frying before descending into the Royal Beast Abyss.

Still following the video one to one instruction kind of thing, only can reproduce the flavor of the eight points ……

Nope!

Suddenly, he had another bright idea.

“How could you use a cut? If you want powder, you should use a scraper or a saw!”

Think about it.

Xu Jingnian then took a cut piece of half-bone before returning to the bed in the Favored Beast House.

With the bone meal fertilizer box flat in his lap, he took a sharp claw in one hand and a half-bone in the other and scraped away.

Scraping the bone with claws, a sound is heard ……

Sure enough, when such sharp pointed claws scraped up the pig bones, the powder fell down to the naked eye.

Only to see all this scraped down powder fall into the holes in the wooden box Xu Jingnian had placed on his lap.

Isn’t that bone meal?

In this way, Xu Jingnian worked for a while and rested for a while, and Yuan Bao came back several times to dry the rice, only to find that his master’s face was getting worse and worse.

It’s like being drained ……

The pet beast’s energy would be restored tenfold, but Xu Jingnian, who was the master, could only rest for as long as he should.

Plus the fatigue from the meta-synchronization over to him ……

But the Emperor’s Day was not to be missed!

After scraping two pork bones, he finally saw a change in the panel on the wooden box.

[Ashes-to-fertilizer box]

[A sufficient amount of bone meal has been placed, which will be converted into transcendental fertilizer in twenty-four hours.]

“Hahaha! Ha ha …. Ha……”

Xu Jingnian placed the fertilizer box under the bed, only to feel dizzy, then he lay down on the bed, laughed a few times, and fell back to sleep.

……

People, always after overworking …… more than half experience a perfect sleep.

This sleep.

Xu Jingnian slept for twelve hours.

“Haaah~!”

He opened his eyes and stretched his arms outside of his sleeping bag to his heart’s content, tears appearing in his eyes.

Restful to the core!

And it was just about this time that Genpou returned within the homestead, carrying his bulging beige backpack.

It came to the bed.

“Wow, this is a good haul!”

Xu Jingnian was dazed from sleep and looked at the almost full backpack with some small surprise.

“A ……”

Genpou, however, had two paws up.

It stated that the fire crystal ore was not good at all to dig now, and this was all the harvest of twelve hours, all packed in the backpack.

“Oh, I slept too long on this one, you couldn’t fetch the backpack yourself could you, no wonder ……”

Xu Jingnian sobered up a bit.

Then get out of bed, remove the backpack for Genpou, take out the fire crystals inside, and put them back in the box.

After the inventory is complete.

Only to find two less than before ……

[Fire Crystal *126]

“It’s okay, it’s barely breaking even, as long as the numbers don’t plummet it’s a win!”

Xu Jingnian comforted himself.

Then, it was left to fleshly take ten fire crystals for Yuanbao and put them in the stone basin it held in its paw ……

Only 116 fire crystals left.

The current underground fire crystal veins, it seems that the center area is gradually being dug up by Yuan Bao, and it is becoming more and more forbidden to dig.

The fire crystal inventory will only continue to decrease.

The good thing is, the meta level is growing by leaps and bounds!

After it finished eating the ten fire crystals.

Xu Jingnian opened the favored beast panel:

[Level: Transcendent 7 (24%↑)]

“Not bad, another level up, not far from Transcendent full level, yet it’s still only the first day of the second week …..”

It’s almost the next day though.

But Yuan Bao’s growth rate was truly amazing, and it really wasn’t unreasonable for other people’s favored beasts to be crushed in rank!

After all, my favored beast eats ore to grow, while your favored beast …… won’t still be eating meat and dog food, right?

What an era ……

Still eating traditional food!

Xu Jingnian wanted to laugh when he thought about it, “How can this let others compare …… simply can’t compare well!”

And this time.

Instead, Genpou says that it has a full store of energy that can be released or kept in case it’s needed for battle.

“In these two days, there should be no fighting, neither Ox-Tan nor Earth Dragon are in a hurry to fight, after all, they can’t fight even if they want to ….. Then use it, Yuanbao!”

Xu Jingnian agreed.

The metabolism then releases the stored energy.

Only to see its growth progress rise again:

[Level: Transcendent 7 (84%↑)]
