Giant Beast Kingdom X Excessive Nutrition

The future wasn't as rosy as Kevin had imagined.

As for why...

It's definitely because there aren't enough Digestion Potion.

Although we made a lot of preparations when we were exploring the Ruins because of the prophecy.

However, the quantity of Digestion Potion prepared was clearly not what was expected in this situation.

Previously, Digestion Potion were used to improve physical fitness.

Digestion Potion are among the most commonly sold items in Pharmacy, ranking first in sales volume.

After all, as long as you train hard, you can quickly improve your physique by Digestion Potion.

For example, the Zoldyck Family was the largest customer for this drug when Kevin left, accounting for almost 70% of all sales.

The remaining 30% was mostly consumed by Buhaci.

Therefore, its target audience is very specific.

Kevin's demand for it is very low.

Therefore, the medicines prepared at that time were mostly more important, such as Healing Potion.

Only four Digestion Potion were provided in total.

I used one before, and now I only have three left.

In other words, if Kevin wants to use the new A-Rank potion he currently has—[Nen Qi Battery Potion]—to increase his Nen level...

He must find suitable materials on the Dark Continent to create a new Digestion Potion.

This will obviously take time.

But it's also a place where you absolutely have to spend time.

However, the more important thing now is to see if the previous improvement process is feasible.

Are there any shortcomings in Melusina's advice?

Kevin was marking the map in his hand.

This is a simplified map radiating outwards from the Snake Nest, marking only the places Kevin visited.

South of the Snake Nest lies the area where [Timely Rain Cloud] frequently appears; further south is the Mechanical Tower.

The northeast direction should be the direction of the coast; Kevin and Melusina have been there.

The other directions are home to a variety of diverse organisms.

These gathering places are all hunting grounds for the Resentful Eater Snake.

"Speaking of which, most of the creatures around the Snake Nest are giants," Melusina said, looking at the simple map in Kevin's hand.

Those colossal creatures left an extremely deep impression on Melusina; he felt he would never forget the sheer awe of the scene.

It was the most breathtaking scene, apart from the Giant Bird that blotted out the sky and flew overhead.

Kevin nodded.

"That's normal. Think about what we know about the ecological habits of the Resentful Eater Snake."

"They need enough Nen Aura, and their Snake Venom also needs enough giant creatures to convert into abundant Nen Aura."

While this may be somewhat arbitrary, under normal circumstances, larger life forms naturally produce more gas than smaller life forms.

Melusina nodded in agreement with this assessment.

For example, under the same circumstances, a creature larger than a human would definitely expel more Nen Aura than a human.

However, due to factors such as intelligence and willpower, humans can tap into their potential and develop more energy.

But if these giant life forms also possess advanced intelligence, then humanity's advantage disappears.

Therefore, unless there is a special racial talent, it is not a problem that the larger the body size, the more Nen one possesses.

Therefore, the hunting grounds of the Resentful Eater Snake in the Snake Nest are a large area inhabited by various giant creatures.

It's a truly gigantic creature!

Giant creatures reaching hundreds of meters in height were everywhere; Kevin and Melusina went once and never went back.

The main reason is that it's too big.

Although these giant creatures were somewhat cumbersome and posed little threat to Melusina and Kevin, it would still take a great deal of effort for Kevin to hunt them down.

Their enormous size is an advantage.

Can you imagine skyscrapers rushing past you?

Humans are like Chimera Ant in his presence.

Kevin wants to kill it, which is like an ant killing a Chimera Ant, and it's just a Chimera Ant.

Even if Kevin puts in all his effort to hunt, he still needs to spend a lot of time and energy inflicting enough damage to succeed, and he also has to prevent these giant creatures from escaping.

Once these giant creatures try to escape, Kevin is completely helpless against them.

Simply stating the basic data might not resonate with many people.

If a giant beast over 100 meters tall were placed in human society, it would be equivalent to a building of about 40 stories.

When Kevin was a child, he often saw Ultraman's stats. Generally speaking, Ultraman is less than 40 or 50 meters tall. Creatures that are twice the size of Ultraman are the typical size of the creatures in this hunting ground.

Kevin hunts using his human-sized body.

Some of the creatures were so exaggerated that Kevin would have to fight them for ages even if he was just standing there.

So Kevin named that area [Giant Beast Kingdom].

Along the way, Kevin has named all sorts of creatures, plants, and environments.

"I think I should create a potion to enhance my single -Nen Aura output, otherwise I'm completely helpless against these giant creatures."

Kevin seemed to have thought of something and said...

Upon hearing this, Melusina thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

That is indeed the case.

No skill is useful against these giant creatures.

Either poison them, or use their immense strength to send bricks flying.

Since Kevin needs materials, poisoning becomes the worst option, while using a powerful brick-throwing technique becomes the best choice.

All the fancy and elaborate designs become meaningless when faced with a massive size.

"Never mind that for now, let's see if Gray Scale has brought us any good prey."

It happened so fast!

Before the two had finished talking, they heard a rumbling sound.

Gray Scale appeared in the distance, and behind her, a huge, turtle-like creature was coiled around her tail and heading towards them.

This tortoise is over forty meters tall, like a small mountain.

In the Giant Beast Kingdom, this is just a small beast, a little Karami.

Little Wang ran over curiously.

She's become quite close to Kevin now, and they've even moved their nest nearby, becoming close neighbors.

Kevin and his companion jumped down from the tree and quickly approached their prey.

Compared to its prey, the Gray Scale, just entering its Growth Stage, appeared rather thin.

"Another showy creature with a big body," Kevin commented after examining the tortoise.

One of the great things about large creatures is that, in most cases, you don't have to worry about them having any fancy abilities.

This is the only place that gives me peace of mind.

If it is large in size and has strange abilities, then it is definitely a "Lord" or "Overlord".

But with such a huge size, it's more than enough to be used as food.

"This turtle's shell is quite interesting; it actually has metallic Specialization." Melusina tapped the shell, producing a metallic sound.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he showed an amused expression.

"It even brought its own pot!"

Now that you mention it, it's true.

Melusina immediately got to work, after all, she was a chef.

Following Melusina's instructions, Kevin began to dismember the turtle.

The maids began helping with the preparations.

Although the tortoise was enormous, Gray Scale clearly didn't consider it good food and left after taking a couple of glances.

Before leaving, he tossed the prey, which was about the size of two people and was still dangling from his mouth, to Kevin, asking him to "cook" it.

This is the payment Kevin, as a chef, needs to make.

I've prepared my food.

Kevin began to act as a human stove.

He held the tortoise shell up with both hands.

The air around him emitted a high temperature, which then mixed with the wind to create an upward force.

Hot Wind surges upwards, evenly heating the entire tortoise shell.

Meanwhile, the tortoise shell was quickly polished by Melusina and transformed into a cooking utensil resembling a giant iron pot.

"The temperature is too high, let's lower it a bit," Melusina shouted from above Little Wang's head.

Kevin began adjusting the temperature, which was also a form of training for his Nen ability.

"Okay, this temperature is fine. This is medium power. Remember that."

Hearing this, Kevin was speechless. "Does he really think I'm a kitchen stove?"

He muttered a couple of things, but still dutifully memorized the level of firepower.

The prepared turtle meat is placed inside the turtle shell.

If the tortoise could see this scene from heaven, I wonder what it would think.

Grateful!

To maintain its delicious flavor, Melusina also added a large amount of side dishes into the turtle shell.

The vegetation on the Dark Continent is also very dense.

Many of the plants are edible, although none of them are entirely benevolent. However, with the Data Chip, many unnecessary dangers can be avoided.

These edible plants are mostly C-Rank or higher.

And there wasn't a single part of this turtle that Kevin didn't desire.

The level of luxury in the Dark Continent is reflected in every meal, where everything from seasonings to side dishes is made with the finest ingredients.

In such an environment, it would be difficult not to have a rich and nutritious diet.

Until it got dark.

The food in the pot had just been cooked and was beginning to smell delicious.

But this stuff held no appeal for the Resentful Eater Snake; even Little Wang got bored and walked away after watching only half of it.

"Is this enough?" Melusina asked from the side.

Kevin looked at the food in the pot; to be honest, he could swim in it.

He nodded.

"That's definitely enough. I'm worried it might spoil if we don't finish it."

"Don't worry about spoilage. I added two special plants that I found recently, which can effectively prevent food from spoiling."

Moreover, this is Snake Nest; even common bacteria will avoid this area, so food rots very slowly.

Kevin hadn't really paid attention to this, so he was quite surprised to hear it.

However, Melusina then pointed to the remaining ingredients beside her, including some unpalatable parts that had been peeled off.

"But if you leave parts like this, which are fleshy and raw, uncooked, they'll be nothing but bones when you wake up tomorrow morning."

"After a while, you won't even be able to see the bones."

"Why?" Kevin asked curiously; he genuinely hadn't noticed.

Melusina tapped her chin with a finger, pondering for a moment. "I don't quite understand the principle behind it, but it should be related to the Resentment in the environment—I feel Resentful Eater Snake are quite clean."

Kevin was taken aback when he heard this.

Thinking about it that way, it does seem quite possible.

When they first arrived, they did seem to complain about how clean the Snake Nest was.

After all, in their conjecture, the adult Resentful Eater Snake were very likely the Nen Aura that constantly lingered in the air.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Are you ready?" Melusina asked Kevin.

Kevin nodded, giving a no-questions-asked gesture.

He let out a sigh of relief.

He produced Digestion Potion and injected it into his body using Syringe.

Undigested food in the body vanishes instantly, transformed into energy.

Then Kevin, without any hesitation, began to eat and drink heartily while standing by the tilted iron pot.

His eating manners were extremely unsightly, like Tutu swallowing dates whole.

Even the chewing step is completely omitted.

This was a meal arrangement that had been agreed upon beforehand, and Melusina had cut all the ingredients into pieces that could be swallowed directly.

In just ten seconds, Kevin ate an amount of food equal to his own body weight; normally he would have been stuffed to the point of bursting.

But now is the time for Digestion Potion, and specifically, Digestion Potion enhanced by Syringe.

The food you eat will be instantly broken down into energy.

While he's described as eating, Kevin's current state is more like drinking.

He was drinking his food.

Ten minutes later, Kevin had gained a significant amount of weight, having accumulated too much energy.

Melusina's special Dark Continent Turtle Soup is far more nutritious than expected.

Every sip of food consumed is several times more potent than the high concentrations of Nutrient Potion Specialization in human society.

Twenty minutes have passed.

The large pot of thick soup was reduced by half.

Melusina already showed worry.

Kevin now so big he's practically Meat Mountain; his neck has completely disappeared.

The fat on his body was piled up, and under the moonlight, he looked oily, as if his skin was covered with a thick layer of grease.

The Digestion Potion was still working, and the nutrients from the turtle soup were still being vigorously poured into Kevin's body.

"No, I can't eat anymore. The Digestion Potion has been used up beyond its limit!"

Even though only twenty minutes had passed, the Digestion Potion, which should have lasted for thirty minutes, had its duration reduced under this extreme use.

In other words, what Kevin is doing now is forcibly pushing the Digestion Potion to its maximum effect.

Kevin's body, which had already reached its limits, began to show signs of strain at this moment.

The nutrition is far exceeding the body's needs; the body is about to explode.

"Stop eating! Use the New Potion! You're scaring us!"

Melusina had already arrived in front of Kevin while he was speaking, and turned the tables on him.

Looking at the Meat Mountain in front of him, the worry on his face was impossible to hide.

It might have been somewhat funny before, but Kevin has now reached a frightening level.

Fat was piled up all over his body; not only his neck, but even his head was sunken into the flesh.

It was completely unrecognizable as human.

His voice had lost its previous magnetic seriousness, and instead sounded muffled.

"Um, I can't reach it, could you give me the injection?" Kevin said awkwardly, his hand now completely unable to bend.

Melusina rummaged through the pile of flesh for a long time before finally finding the medicine and Syringe.

Once loaded, it was plunged directly into the meat.

The effects of A-Rank potions are immediate.

Kevin began to utilize the absorption capabilities of the New Potion.

Due to their physical structure, this ability makes it difficult for them to absorb free air from the atmosphere.

But simply converting the energy in the body into qi becomes very easy.

Kevin started operating at full speed.

Boom!

A surge of Nen Aura erupted forth.

The surging Nen Aura actually blew Melusina away from where she was standing.

Several of Xiao Hong's Nen Beast appeared behind Melusina and caught her, plowing a deep trench in the ground.

The violent wind pressure blew, and the giant tree in the Snake Nest began to sway from side to side, scattering a large number of leaves.

Melusina could no longer open her eyes; she could only tilt her head and shield her face with her hand.

"What's going on?" She was a little confused about the situation.

The Resentment around them began to gather intensely.

A colossal creature, its outline faintly visible in the moonlight, blotted out the sky.

A vertical pupil, like a crescent moon, appeared in the sky, staring down at Kevin.

Melusina instantly breathless; even her breathing and thinking stopped for a moment.

She sensed it.

The adult, Resentful Serpent appeared.

The commotion Kevin made attracted their attention, and they appeared.
