After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

Chapter 127: Chapter 115: Preparing for the College Cup

The efficiency of the mentor’s work was extremely high, and the day after Chen Xing transferred the money to the designated account, he received the steak delivery as scheduled.

A large black container was steadily unloaded downstairs, and within it were four enormous boxes neatly arranged, each of the astonishing size of 2*1*1 meters.

With the help of Sìxiàng, Chen Xing managed to carry these heavy boxes into the living room, one by one.

Upon opening the boxes, a wave of icy white fog accompanied by the delicious aroma of the meat rushed towards him.

Lying quietly at the bottom of each box was a whole, giant ribeye steak,

coming from the section above the back muscles spanning the sixth to twelfth ribs of the cow, commonly known as the ribeye.

Each steak, with its bloodstreaked ribs, appeared exceptionally fresh.

And the price of such a steak reached as high as eight hundred thousand.

Chen Xing inwardly lamented the exorbitant cost.

However, speaking of the overall price, it was still much cheaper than purchasing at the Monster Meat Market.

Chen Xing guessed the price the mentor mentioned might be the selling price in the Exotic Region.

To transport such a large steak to the domestic market, one had to pay hefty transit taxes, so the domestic selling price was probably far higher than eight hundred thousand.

The extra amount must have been covered by the mentor.

Chen Xing heaved a sigh from the depths of his heart, the debt of gratitude he owed the mentor was accumulating.

His home kitchen couldn’t handle such a large ingredient, so he had to take it outside.

After a trip to the market to buy all the necessary side ingredients, he returned home to process them into delectably fragrant spices.

Then, he took out the butter he had prepared that morning from the fridge.

Once everything was ready, he set off again to the market to buy seasonings and racks.

Having made all the necessary preparations, Chen Xing bid his family goodbye and left home with the ingredients and tools.

He rented a vehicle through a car rental app and transported his belongings to the suburban area, loading everything up before driving towards an open space in the suburbs.

The driver didn’t ask any questions; after all, in this era, people’s hobbies were varied and bizarre, and nothing seemed odd anymore.

He simply followed Chen Xing’s directions and dropped him at the destination.

And he left his contact number so that Chen Xing could reach him easily when he needed to return.

After ensuring the surroundings were safe, Chen Xing summoned Taotie.

The moment this enormous creature appeared, the air around seemed to freeze, silencing the insects chirping in the bushes and the birds muttering in the nearby woods into a “mute choir.”

Taotie, acting like a bully, circled the area twice to ensure there were no threats before lying down next to Chen Xing.

“Perfect placement,” praised Chen Xing.

He piled the ingredients and boxes on Taotie’s back, “Come on, let’s go a bit further in.”

The area was close to the highway, and cooking outdoors could possibly draw the attention of passersby.

So it was better to move a little further inside.

After walking a distance, Chen Xing chose a suitable spot.

Behind him was the vast darkness of the mountains, while not far in front was the brightly lit city.

Chen Xing quickly cleared the nearby area and then gathered branches and dead leaves. After setting up a rack, he placed the steak on top.

“Master Sì, light a fire,” Chen Xing called to Sìxiàng, who was perched on a nearby tree branch on lookout.

Sìxiàng spread his wings, glided down next to Chen Xing, and lit the dry branches with a ball of black flame in his palm.

“Fire Element is really useful, don’t even need a lighter anymore,” Chen Xing remarked.

Upon hearing Chen Xing’s praise, Sìxiàng proudly raised his neck.

“Awoo! Awoo!”

Taotie hurriedly called out from the side.

“Ah yes, yes, Taotie is also very impressive, helping me carry things,” Chen Xing encouraged Taotie with praise.

Taotie, with a smug glance at Sìxiàng, waggled its tail slightly, clearly in high spirits.

Sìxiàng ignored the juvenile Taotie and flew back to a nearby tree to stand guard.

Looking at Sìxiàng and Taotie by his side, Chen Xing couldn’t help but feel deeply moved.

One Water Element and one Fire Element, even if he went into the wilderness he wouldn’t have to worry about water and fire sources.

And with one able to fly and another to swim, if he were to go on another wilderness survival trip, all he would need would be to find a capable medical class Beast Tamer, and then it would be truly perfect.

The flames sizzled as they cooked the steak, with the seasonings evenly spread on the surface.

Gradually, the steak began emitting an unusual fragrance.

When Chen Xing added his homemade butter, the aroma reached its peak.

A stray dog attracted by the scent approached from afar.

But upon seeing Taotie lying in the open space ahead, it immediately tucked its tail and ran away without looking back.

It was just looking for a bite to eat, not to be picked up as something to eat.

“It’s ready, take a taste,” said Chen Xing.

Taotie couldn’t wait to take a bite of the steak.

Its huge mouth engulfed the entire steak in one swallow.

“Hmm?”

Chen Xing noticed the Stone Booklet automatically flying out in front of him.

Two new lines of data appeared on Taotie’s panel.

[Current Length] 29.4 meters

[Maximum Length] 34 meters (34/340)

Below the maximum length, the meter figure blurred for a moment, changing from 34 to 40.

It appeared that one steak could enhance the maximum size by 6 meters.

The increase was to the upper limit, not directly inflating the Beast Tamer’s size to the target value; it still required consumption of nutritious food to grow rapidly.

Chen Xing quickly did the math; approximately fifty-one steaks would be needed to increase the maximum length tenfold from the original, he had already eaten one, leaving fifty more to go.

Fifty steaks, calculating at the price of eight hundred thousand for each steak, amounted to forty million.

That didn’t seem too expensive…

At this thought, Chen Xing quickly shook his head, realizing he had been dazzled by recent encounters—since when had forty million become a small number.
