Golden Chicken Breeding X Fat Kurapika
"Coo coo coo!!!"
Loud crowing of roosters rose and fell, like sharp alarms, almost piercing the entire Nosra Manor.
At that moment, dawn was breaking.
The sun will still rise over the mountain.
The piercing crowing of roosters came in waves, each wave louder than the last.
Kevin sat bolt upright in bed, his eyes bloodshot, and couldn't help but curse, "Damn Begel, he definitely knew this would happen, he did it on purpose!"
Those Golden Chicken should really be killed!!
After cursing a few times, he covered his ears with his breath and crawled back into bed.
He has been studying medicine every night recently, often staying up very late, and is now extremely exhausted.
That damned Golden Chicken had an extremely penetrating voice.
Kevin can do that, but no one else has the ability.
Light got up slowly. Even though his face had become more amiable since taking over the company's affairs, a hint of barely suppressed irritation still flashed across his face at this moment.
A beautiful morning should be woken up naturally.
But that damn chicken ruined everything.
He was clearly not the only one awakened; many people in the Manor woke up at that moment.
Frustration and complaints were constant.
Several people were eating breakfast at a table in the restaurant.
Was Kevin not woken up?
Light's words carried a rare hint of resentment.
Everyone was awakened by the rooster's crow, but Kevin remained completely still, which was rather unfair.
It makes people feel unbalanced.
"Perhaps their ears were sealed with air?"
Rosana guessed uncertainly.
She has always been casual about getting up early; she doesn't have much of a habit of sleeping in. At this moment, her mood became very peaceful.
However, the three young people at the table all looked somewhat listless due to lack of sleep.
"Those chickens are awful!" Nion said angrily, munching on her bread.
She always sleeps until she naturally wakes up.
Pairo suppressed the urge to complain, even though Nion had exclaimed how beautiful the Golden Chicken were yesterday and even said she wanted to raise one herself.
Just one night later, their attitude changed from liking to disliking.
Kurapika nodded repeatedly.
Although he didn't mind getting up early, the crowing of the roosters was really annoying.
It's completely different from a normal rooster's crowing; it's so penetrating that it can be quite irritating.
When Kevin woke up and came to the open space in the Manor, he saw Kurapika catching chickens.
At this moment, Kurapika is wielding his Chain, relentlessly chasing after a Golden Chicken.
The Chain in his hands were not a manifestation of Nen ability, but real iron chains. He was familiarizing himself with how to use Chain in combat, which was also part of his training.
However, the Golden Chicken rooster is no ordinary creature.
As Rare Beast, and capable of manipulating Nen Aura, its speed of movement and reaction to the outside world far surpass that of ordinary people.
For a time, Kurapika was completely helpless against this Golden Chicken.
There must be a reason why Golden Chicken have never been captured by humans.
This is still within the Manor; if they were in the forest, catching them would be even more difficult.
The reason there are these three Golden Chicken in the Manor is because Locke came to the Manor yesterday and brought the Golden Egg along with the three Golden Chicken.
The delivery of the Golden Chicken was a special arrangement by Begel.
Begel had a total of twenty-three Golden Chicken. Although Golden Chicken are social creatures, their numbers should not be too many, otherwise they will fight among themselves.
This will not only increase management difficulty, but also significantly prolong the interval between egg production by hens.
So Begel sent the extra Golden Chicken to Kevin, ostensibly to get Kevin involved as well.
After all, in a way, this was also one of Kevin's spoils of war.
Moreover, these Golden Chicken were already trained when they were in the hands of the [Spiral] organization, so there is no need to worry about them running around when they are free-range.
These guys aren't ordinary chickens; they're incredibly smart.
That's why there are three Golden Chicken on the Manor, and that deafening, annoying crowing every morning.
It must be said, as expected of Golden Chicken, its crowing is much more exaggerated than that of an ordinary rooster.
"Grab it, Kurapika!" Nion shouted from behind.
Kevin looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Nion's hair was a mess, with two golden feathers stuck in it.
At this moment, she was howling fiercely like a wolf, and Kurapika could only helplessly continue chasing the Golden Chicken.
Kevin found the scene quite novel, so he watched quietly from the side.
It must be admitted that Kurapika is indeed quite talented.
From initially being unable to touch the Golden Chicken at all, to now being able to bind Golden Chicken legs with Chain, this entire process may have only taken half an hour at most.
Nion no longer resents Golden Chicken, but Kurapika clearly sees it as a temporary training challenge.
Even Pairo joined the "Chicken Catching Battle".
"You're really working hard."
Kevin couldn't help but marvel at how he could find an opportunity to train even at a time like this.
A person with a clear and determined goal is different.
"Haha, this little bug is really interesting." Nion's happy laughter came from afar.
She was sitting on the back of a Moving Bug, held high in the air, and happily wandering around on the ground.
Kevin casually raised some of these gentle insects, thinking that he might be able to use the materials from them later.
Moreover, the entire Manor is now a construction site, and these Carrier Ant come in handy and are very easy to use.
The device is the right size, non-aggressive, and when given a lure, it learns to move, put down, and follow through training gestures.
It couldn't be more convenient.
"Hooray! Hahahaha!"
Light, on the balcony, heard her daughter's happy laughter and would occasionally look down, a smile unconsciously appearing on her face.
He couldn't help but once again feel that his initial decision was absolutely correct.
With peers and these interesting things around, Nion's life was no longer as boring as before.
Light knew he wasn't good at raising children; all he could do was spoil them.
His doting affection had not brought a smile to his daughter's face.
When he discovered his daughter's special abilities, he admitted that his initial thoughts were somewhat utilitarian, but ultimately, it was nothing more than wanting to show his daughter even deeper love.
Fortunately, Nion joined Kevin's small team.
Here, you'll find peers, the loving Rosana, and the rational and steady Kevin.
In this environment, Nion gradually grew into a cheerful and lively child.
"Coo coo coo!!"
The piercing crowing of the rooster rang out again.
"Damn it! If these chickens could just shut up, life would be perfect."
Light's smile vanished instantly.
"I hope Kevin likes the Gift I sent."
Inside the research base, Begel looked at the Breeding Farm in front of him and grinned.
Baishu, whose eyes were dark-rimmed, rolled his eyes upon hearing this and retorted, "These Golden Chicken pheasants have such shrill and piercing cries, how do they survive in the wild? They should have been discovered long ago!"
"Are you an idiot? That kind of cry is unbearable torture for many wild creatures."
"Several Golden Chicken roosters crowing in turn should be enough to drive away dangerous creatures in their territory, and they might even help them hunt," Shante speculated reasonably from the side.
The call was clearly aggressive, rather than a warning call.
It is perfectly reasonable to speculate that this was a means of hunting and driving away enemies.
"Whatever, once the breeding is complete, I'll hand them all over to Kevin. I really can't stand these damn chickens anymore," Baishu muttered.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a chicken flew in and landed on his head.
"Inhale, exhale, I'm not angry."
He took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress his emotions.
These Golden Chicken are very clever and hold grudges. If you provoke them, they might come to your bedside and crow tomorrow.
"Yeah, boss, some of the researchers at the base are complaining," Shante chimed in.
Begel nodded.
He and Kevin agreed that he would help Kevin successfully breed these Golden Chicken, ensure they could lay eggs normally, and develop reasonable breeding procedures and various breeding environment standards.
With the information we had gathered earlier, completing this task was not difficult.
Afterwards, some of the Golden Chicken will be released back into their former habitat, and the selected laying hens can be handed over to Kevin.
The breeding process is not difficult.
All you need to do is prepare suitable food and a relatively spacious area.
Of course, finding eggs that are not fertilized in a wide open space is a troublesome task. But this is obviously not a difficult problem.
Let Kevin suffer this daily "torture" of yelling; he's had enough.
He has become intimidated by the once fantastical Rare Beast creatures.
At that moment, a researcher walked over.
"Begel, come here and take a look. There's something wrong with one of the eggs."
Something's not right?
Begel was somewhat puzzled as he followed the other person into the Incubation Room.
Incubation Room, rows of Golden Egg were neatly arranged.
Begel quickly discovered the unusual Golden Egg.
This Golden Egg was noticeably larger than the others, but he clearly remembered that when he received the Golden Egg, all of them were roughly the same size, and any differences were within the normal range and extremely minor.
"What's going on? Why did it suddenly get so big?"
Begel comes to check every day, several times a day, and often conducts data research and recording here.
Everything was fine when I came here yesterday.
The researchers next to him handed over the observation records from the previous night and played the sped-up surveillance video.
Begel studied it carefully for a long time but came to no useful conclusions. He only noticed that the Golden Egg had inexplicably grown overnight.
"Neither the environment nor the egg itself showed any abnormal changes in the data. Is the data analysis the same as for other Golden Egg?" Begel asked.
The researchers nodded. "That's right. Although this egg looks different, after various examinations, it is essentially no different from other Golden Egg."
Another apprentice frowned and asked, "Could it be a mutation? After all, it's Golden Chicken."
They cannot be judged by the standards of normal living organisms.
Begel had considered this as well, but then shook his head. "Let's observe further."
Perhaps this egg hatched the fastest, or perhaps this process of hatching is normal for Golden Chicken.
None of this can be confirmed; a conclusion can only be drawn after the hatching process proceeds normally.
Inside the Nosra Manor, in the Training Ground, Kevin looked at the group of people in front of him.
The table next to them was piled high with high-calorie foods.
Kevin held a vial of medicine in his hand—a [Digestion Potion].
This potion is of great significance to Kevin; his current strong physical foundation is largely due to it.
In just over six months of using this medicine, his physical foundation was strengthened to near its limit.
However, this drug is sold to the public for only ten million.
The reason for this is that the effects of the drug vary from person to person; for others, it was far less significant than it was for Kevin.
Currently, besides Kevin, Buhaci is the one who responds best to this medicine.
This is because this potion is highly compatible with Buhaci's Nen ability.
Buhaci's Nen ability is related to the fat stored in his body; this potion can quickly help him digest food, thus allowing him to store more fat.
Of course, it also has the effect of strengthening training and exercising the body, but this is mainly because Xia Haci is a Nen user who is an enhancement type.
Kevin had administered this drug to many people.
Biscuit refused to use it because her body had already reached a certain limit, and no one bothered to investigate whether this was true or not.
After using Yungu, the effect of high-intensity training increased by about three to five times, which is already quite good.
Buhaci used Digestion Potion to exercise, and the effect was consistently more than four times better.
The effects for other users did not exceed three times.
Generally speaking, depending on individual differences, the effects are roughly as follows:
The effect is best when used by those who enhance their Nen abilities. If the Nen ability of the enhanced Nen user is related to their physical constitution, the effect will be even greater.
Secondly, there are those with Emission and Transmutation types of Nen abilities; the effects of other types vary.
Essentially, the [Digestion Potion] is a type of Nen ability- Enhancement Type agent, and its training effect is essentially a side effect.
In terms of physical training, those who enhance their Nen abilities already have an advantage, so these differences can be explained.
Kevin's use of this drug was much more effective than others because he also had another Nen ability— [Blank Meteor].
Just like after drinking a [Power Potion], you can remember the feeling of increased potential mental capacity, and thus accelerate the training effect of increasing potential mental capacity during exercise.
In terms of physical exercise, [Blank Meteor] also showed similar effects.
As Kevin's research into pharmaceuticals deepened, especially after preparing pharmaceuticals for Pairo, he discovered some differences. The essence of [Digestion Potion] is to help the body quickly digest food, convert it into energy, and store it.
During extreme training, this energy can be rapidly converted into nutrients needed for the body's growth.
This is the main reason why the training effect is multiplied: it lies in how quickly and efficiently your body absorbs this energy and nutrients.
Since the changes are essentially brought about by the Enhancement Type, the Enhancement Type is the most effective when training, and the physical qualities of the Enhancement Type are also higher than those of other levels.
However, if this energy is not used for a certain period of time, it will be converted into fat, at which point the [Digestion Potion] will instead become a [Fattening Potion].
At this point, the effectiveness of the exercise will be greatly reduced.
However, there are differences in physical constitution between people, and these subtle differences determine the different effects of exercise.
Similarly, whether the energy converted from Digestion Potion can quickly become the nutrients needed for exercise varies from person to person.
The standard [Digestion Potion] was made based on Kevin himself, so it was naturally very suitable for him.
It could even be said that all the potions were based on Kevin himself.
But for others, the effect depends on how similar they are to Kevin's physical condition.
The more similar one's physique is to Kevin's, the better the effect.
However, the fluctuations in some medications are very minor and are perfectly acceptable.
Kevin is holding at this moment is a potion specially made for Kurapika.
"Come on, Kurapika, this is the only way to become stronger."
Kevin said, holding up the medicine in his hand.
The people around him all turned their attention to him.
Kurapika swallowed nervously, then walked with a look of grim determination to his death to the mountain of food.
"Do we have to eat all of these?"
Eating a little of these high-calorie foods might be enjoyable, but eating too much will only make you feel nauseous.
They had already experienced this when they tested the effects of Digestion Potion before.
"If you can't endure the bitterness of medicine, you'll have to endure the bitterness of life."
Kevin said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Kurapika's face hardened with a look of grim determination, and he began to devour high-calorie foods.
A variety of sweet flavors spread in his mouth, but as he ate more, his body began to react, and he started to gag.
"I... ugh... I'm about to die."
Kurapika, panting heavily and clutching his stomach, said that he hadn't even finished half of the food in front of him.
"To have a strong body, you must first develop a good appetite."
Kevin commented that he directly injected Kurapika with a Digestion Potion specially made for him.
After the potion was injected into his body, Kurapika's slightly swollen belly visibly shrank.
During the course of the Digestion Potion, his skin became oily and supple.
"Your skin looks better!" Rosana's eyes lit up, and Nion's eyes sparkled too.
Kurapika's skin now looks moist and radiant, and combined with his naturally fair skin, it looks like a young girl's skin.
"Keep eating. You must finish all the remaining food within the half-hour duration of the potion's effect."
Kurapika nodded and continued eating in silence.
While the medication continued to work, the feeling of fullness disappeared, but the cloying sweetness still made him feel uncomfortable.
Soon, half an hour had passed.
At this moment, Kurapika's body surface seemed to be coated with a layer of oil, shining brightly.
Pairo increased the distance between himself and Kurapika.
Rosana's expression shifted from curiosity to worry, and her gaze fell on Kevin.
Kevin had never encountered this situation before, as he had never experienced anything like it when using the drug before. However, this was a specially made drug, so it was reasonable for some different changes to occur.
"Ahem, everything is under control, don't worry."
"Really?"
Kurapika looked at his shiny, oily skin and couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, I'm a professional when it comes to medicine!" Kevin emphasized.
Finally, Kevin cleared his throat and said seriously, "The effect might be a little bit better than I expected."
Therefore, you need to engage in intense exercise to convert the energy stored in your body into the nutrients needed for your growth.
"Make sure to make full use of all the energy you consume, otherwise it will just be stored up."
"What would happen if we stored it away?" Rosana asked.
It will turn into fat.
In the past, there was no need to worry about this issue, since fifteen minutes plus the food eaten beforehand, even high-calorie food, could be digested during the subsequent short workout.
But this time the results seem exceptionally good, so I might need to increase the intensity of my workout. Even so, there might still be some energy left over.
"No, Kurapika, go for it!"
Nion was the first to object, shouting loudly.
She didn't want to see a chubby Kurapika.
Kurapika immediately took action, as being too fat could hinder his movement.
With the help and observation of others, he began to engage in high-intensity, exaggerated training.
He seemed tireless, sweating profusely; the sweat mixed with the oil on his skin, making one feel somewhat nauseous.
However, as I continued exercising, the oiliness gradually faded.
Finally, on the morning of the second day, Kurapika collapsed from exhaustion.
Then, in a way that is visible to the naked eye, the remaining unused energy is converted into fat.
Kurapika's cheeks had become slightly rounder, and he had gained some weight in some parts of his body.
"It's alright, it's alright."
Rosana patted her chest and said that, in her eyes, her son had become even more adorable.
It didn't turn into something unacceptable.
Nion nodded in agreement, finding it acceptable.
This change even made Kurapika's overall demeanor softer and cuter.
He's only gained a little weight, yet the change is so obvious. Perhaps it's because Kurapika used to be excessively thin?
Pairo blushed; he wanted to laugh, but was too embarrassed to laugh out loud.
At this time, Kurapika was a bit chubby and had a slight belly, making him look really funny.
He had already planned to secretly take a picture of Kurapika in this state.
"Digestion Potion specially formulated for individuals, its effects are comparable to those used by Enhancement Type users."
Kevin, who had been observing, muttered to himself.
The line of reasoning is correct.
