The Wise Fool and Hunter Operation!

After returning to their temporary shelter, Mu Yun introduced Aron to Namikaze, then started preparing dinner as usual.

With limited supplies, Mu Yun made nothing elaborate. He used the ingredients in his "backpack" to put together a simple meal.

"Aron!!"

(It's so good!!)

It was the best meal Aron had ever eaten.

That little transparent cube in particular left him feeling warm inside.

Xiao Xin told him that feeling was called happiness.

"Meow~~"

(Not really. If you study more, you'll know it too~~)

For Aron, eating high-quality minerals over a long period could permanently harden the armor covering his body and even increase his resistance to certain types.

A mineral called Seaheart Rock, for example, could reduce the damage he took
