Monster Meat

Monster Meat

After settling on his plan, Luo Wen did not rush back to the Marvel world.

Instead, he turned on the computer in his apartment and went online.

After booting up the computer, Luo Wen went straight to the HR Mall.

He then purchased various kinds of monster meat and precious medicinal herbs from the HR Mall.

Monster meat contained extremely high nutritional value, and consuming it could gradually strengthen one's physical condition.

The medicinal herbs could be combined for medicinal baths, which also had obvious effects on improving the body.

Luo Wen did not begrudge the money and specifically chose meat from High-level Beast Soldier Grade monsters.

He spent all of his remaining 12 million Chinese Yuan in one go.

The HR Alliance's service was no worse than Limit Martial Hall's. Since Luo Wen's transaction exceeded ten million, they immediately put it through a special process. After payment, the interface showed that the goods would be delivered to his door within two hours.

After buying those items, Luo Wen made another phone call.

Zhou Huayang had given him this number. The other party was a manager in the HR Alliance's Yi'an District branch, and Kroll Alloy could be purchased through him.

Upon hearing that Luo Wen had been referred by Zhou Huayang, the manager did not put on airs. He introduced the prices of the various grades of Kroll Alloy, which matched what Zhou Huayang had said.

Luo Wen directly told him the amount he wished to purchase.

When he heard that Luo Wen planned to buy 15 million worth of Level 2 Kroll Alloy and 8 million worth of Level 3 Kroll Alloy, he was not surprised.

HR managers dealt with many Martial Artists on a regular basis, with transactions easily reaching several million or tens of millions. Luo Wen's purchase was not enough to astonish him.

"Certainly, Mr. Luo Wen. Once the payment is received, I'll have someone deliver the Kroll Alloy to the warehouse you designated."

After hanging up, Luo Wen transferred the 23 million from his bank card.

The other party replied by text with a single message: "Received."

After spending all his money, Luo Wen began practicing the Basic Ten Forms again.

Everything he did was for the sake of becoming stronger, so there was no way he would slack off in his training.

Luo Wen practiced the Basic Ten Forms three times in a row, until he was utterly exhausted and drenched in sweat, collapsing onto the bed.

Just as Luo Wen was catching his breath, the doorbell rang outside.

Luo Wen struggled to his feet and opened the door.

Outside stood a delivery guy wearing an HR Alliance uniform.

He wore a baseball cap and had a sharp, capable air about him. His strength was not weak.

Luo Wen seriously suspected that he might be a Martial Artist.

"Hello, I'm an HR Alliance delivery specialist. These are the items you purchased. Please inspect them."

The delivery guy handed Luo Wen a list and had him check the items against it.

After confirming that everything was correct, Luo Wen helped carry all the items into the apartment.

After closing the door, Luo Wen looked at the frozen storage boxes scattered across the floor, feeling somewhat excited.

With these things, his training efficiency would greatly improve.

Luo Wen opened the delivery boxes one by one.

There were more than ten portions of monster meat, each weighing 2 kg.

Luo Wen took a look and found that all of it was red meat with beautiful marbling. He did not know what preservation method the HR Alliance had used, but the color was bright and fresh, making it look as though it had just been slaughtered.

Luo Wen took a portion of Unicorn Boar foreleg meat, a portion of Tiger Cat tenderloin, and a portion of Bloodthirsty Tank rib meat and put them in the refrigerator compartment. He then placed all the remaining monster meat in the freezer.

As for the medicinal herbs, the HR Alliance had already divided them into different Medicinal Bath Bags according to their effects. He only needed to soak one bag in water each time.

Luo Wen took out a recovery-type Medicinal Bath Bag and stored the rest away.

After putting everything away, Luo Wen thought for a moment, then headed straight to the bathroom. He filled the bathtub with water and dropped the Medicinal Bath Bag into it.

His muscles had been sore from practicing the Basic Ten Forms these past two days, so this was the perfect chance to test the effects of the Medicinal Bath Bag.

While the bathtub was still filling, Luo Wen did not sit idle. He took out the Tiger Cat tenderloin, went to the kitchen, turned on the stove, added soybean oil, and began slowly pan-frying it over low heat.

The HR Alliance had included a cooking guide for monster meat. Most monster meat required a pressure cooker to be fully cooked, but this Tiger Cat tenderloin was relatively tender and could be eaten simply by pan-frying it.

This apartment had only just been rented and did not have a pressure cooker, so Luo Wen decided to try the Tiger Cat meat first.

After slowly frying it over low heat for around ten minutes, the kitchen was already filled with the aroma of animal fat.

Luo Wen's appetite was thoroughly whetted.

He checked the color of the meat and saw that it was basically cooked. After sprinkling on some pepper salt, he took it straight out of the pan.

Luo Wen picked up a piece with his chopsticks and took a bite, immediately stunned by how delicious it was.

The texture was incredibly tender, and the meaty flavor was intensely rich. The moment he swallowed, he felt a warm current travel down his esophagus into his stomach, then spread outward from his stomach throughout his entire body.

The feeling was like taking a sip of hot liquor in a snow-covered world in the depths of winter.

Luo Wen could not help eating several more pieces.

Soon after, he felt a fine layer of sweat break out all over his body.

"This stuff packs a real punch."

Luo Wen marveled inwardly. Even tiger meat probably wasn't this potent.

The sound of running water continued from the bathroom. Luo Wen was in no hurry; he chewed slowly and thoroughly, finishing the entire large plate of Tiger Cat meat.

After contracting the RR virus, his appetite had increased dramatically.

Even so, after finishing it all, he still felt a little stuffed.

His skin was burning hot, and his entire body was like a furnace, radiating heat outward.

If it were winter, white mist would probably have been rising from his whole body right now.

"No wonder children from wealthy families are so much stronger than their peers. This Monster Meat is way too effective!"

Luo Wen sighed.

The protein and energy contained in this meal of Tiger Cat meat were enough to equal an ordinary person's intake for an entire week.

After eating, Luo Wen did not bother cleaning up the dishes or frying pan and went straight to the bathroom.

By then, the bathtub was full.

Soaked in the hot water, the Medicinal Bath Bag had dyed the bathwater a reddish-brown.

The bathroom was filled with a medicinal scent that was both bitter and fragrant.

Luo Wen took off his clothes and soaked himself in the bathtub.

Though the water temperature was over sixty degrees, he did not feel hot in the slightest.

Lying in the tub, Luo Wen let out a long, comfortable breath.

He felt every pore on his body open up.

It was as though his entire body had merged with the hot water in the bathtub.

Drowsily, Luo Wen slipped into a half-asleep state.

Who knew how much time passed before Luo Wen woke again.

He found that the water had already cooled.

Checking the time, he realized that forty minutes had passed.

Looking down again, he saw that the color of the water in the bathtub had lightened somewhat.

Luo Wen stood up and moved his body, only to discover that none of his muscles were sore anymore.

Moreover, his entire body was brimming with strength.

"This medicinal bath is incredibly effective!"

Luo Wen sighed as he rinsed his body with clean water.

Basic Ten Forms, medicinal baths, and Monster Meat.

With all three combined, his training efficiency was probably several times what it had been before.

"Money really is a good thing."

After rinsing off and drying himself, Luo Wen smiled to himself.

"Money, methods, companions, and a place"—money came first.

That showed just how important resources were.

"Time to head back. I'll find Tony and talk to him about the Arc Reactor."

Luo Wen looked at the Teleportation Ring, where only two gems were still glowing, and decided to resolve the energy issue first.
