Chapter 118: Secret Dog Food: Learning from Beasts
Although it has been decided to set off for Luoyang Town tomorrow, it is still early, only three o'clock. Before it gets dark, Xiao Jie decides to finish all the things he needs to do in the Novice Village.
In addition to preparing supplies for tomorrow's journey, the main thing is to learn all the skills that need to be learned.
I didn’t have money before, so I didn’t learn many skills that I should have learned. Now that I finally have money, there is no need to be so frugal.
I found a butcher and spent 1500 yuan to learn the autopsy.
Now I can deal with the wild animal carcasses myself.
Then I spent another 1500 yuan learning fishing.
In this way, you can solve the cooking materials and pet feed yourself as much as possible in the future.
There will be many places to spend money in the future, so try to save as much money as possible.
The next skill to be learned cannot be acquired by spending money. Xiao Jie plans to make good use of his legendary talent of learning from animals and learn a few tricks from the animals in the village.
He studied the use of this talent carefully.
Although you can learn skills from beasts, not all skills can be learned. For example, the three skills of Coal Ball - Charge, Thick Skin, and Life Tenacity. The latter two are displayed as unlearnable skills, and only Charge can be learned.
He could understand this. Thick skin and tenacity were innate to wild boars. They were abilities that came naturally to them and naturally could not be learned.
Only the skill of collision belongs to the action category, which can be imitated by humans.
He looked down at Coal Ball, which was looking for food on the ground. Pigs are really greedy. They would hum from time to time to ask for food. Especially after they found that Xiao Jie could understand what they said, they kept asking for food.
"Meigu, I want to discuss something with you. Teach me your collision skills."
But Coal Ball whined, "Hmph, I won't teach you. My master is not good. He won't let me eat enough."
Xiao Jie was a little speechless. You don’t even have the concept of being full…
"Teach me, I'll make you something delicious."
"Hmph, I won't teach you. I won't teach you." After saying that, he ignored Xiao Jie and started wandering around.
[System prompt: Coal Ball has a low impression of you and is unwilling to teach you skills.]
Xiao Jie looked at the happiness value and loyalty.
Happiness value: 50, loyalty: 53, this loyalty is equivalent to favorability.
Loyalty only increased by 3 points after all this time? How much favorability do you need to learn skills?
Why isn't the happiness value increasing? It's useless to feed it so many steamed buns.
Xiao Jie found that it was not easy to make a pig happy. He asked Meiqiu what he wanted to do, but the answer was eating and sleeping. The problem was that he had to fight monsters all the time, and he couldn't just leave the pig at home to sleep every day while he fought monsters by himself.
It seems that I still need to use secret dog food to increase the happiness value. Only when the happiness value is high can the loyalty increase quickly.
During this period, Xiao Jie often made food, such as glutinous rice cakes, barbecue, and garden pancakes. His cooking skills have now reached the entry level of 785/1000, and he only needs more than experience points to reach the mastery level.
It might as well be a day like this, well, I'd better master cooking first.
He made a cooking fire with dry wood and looked at his backpack. There was still a lot of animal meat he had hunted while leveling up. He kept five portions of wild boar meat, venison, and mutton in a 1:1:1 ratio and grilled the rest of the meat.
The coal ball turned around twice and then came back, and the smell of barbecue made me drool.
"Hehe, it smells so good."
Xiao Jie ignored him and said, "Damn it, even if I feed you, your loyalty won't increase."
Soon the extra materials in the bag were used up, and I looked at the experience points, which were 836/1000.
Well, let’s just make steamed buns.
Steamed buns should be the food with the lowest cost. All they require is wheat, water, and fire for cooking. Water can be drawn from the well for free, and wheat costs 3 cents per serving.
One portion of wheat + one portion of water can make one steamed bun, which is sold for 5 cents each in the recipe book. It seems that there is still some profit. However, now that Xiao Jie's reputation has become worshipped, steamed buns only cost three cents each. In other words, he is not making any money at all from making steamed buns now, he just does it to gain cooking experience.
I sat there for half an hour, and soon my backpack was filled with steamed buns.
Fortunately, this thing can be stacked, otherwise it would not fit.
Since there was really no more space, Xiao Jie started feeding them coal briquettes in order to avoid waste.
Finally, after feeding Coal Ball more than twenty steamed buns, Xiao Jie's body flashed with golden light.
[System prompt: Your cooking skill has been upgraded from 'entry level' to 'proficient'. ]
This time I can finally learn the recipe for secret dog food.
Click to learn the recipe and look at the ingredients - wild boar meat, venison, mutton, wild chrysanthemum, and tranquilizing grass.
There are quite a lot of ingredients needed. It is the most complicated food he has ever made. The cooking process is also much more complicated. The ingredients need to be added in sequence according to the time point. If it is too early or too late, it may fail. The three kinds of meat are ready. Wild chrysanthemum and tranquilizing flowers can be bought in the pharmacy - of course, you can also pick them yourself, but Xiao Jie didn't learn how to collect them, so he didn't bother. Fortunately, these two herbs are not expensive, wild chrysanthemum is 7 wen per plant, and tranquilizing grass is 12 wen per plant.
Xiao Jie prepared five ingredients, clicked on cooking, added the ingredients one by one, and a white light flashed in his hand, and the dish was done.
[System prompt: Cooking is successful, and you get 3 secret dog food. Your cooking experience has increased by 5 points, and now it is 5/2000 proficiency.]
Fortunately, this thing can produce three portions at a time. Xiao Jie breathed a sigh of relief. In this case, the cost is acceptable. He calculated that if the materials are not purchased at a discount price, the cost of a portion of secret dog food is about 30 coins. With a discount, the cost of the materials is about 20 coins.
Converted into RMB, it costs about 200 to 300 yuan per copy, which is definitely a luxury item.
I made fifteen servings of secret dog food in one go. Looking at the fifteen fist-sized grilled meatballs in my backpack, which were dotted with ground herbs, they looked quite appetizing.
Throw a secret dog food to feed Coal Ball,
"Hehe, delicious! Delicious! Master, what the hell is this? It's so delicious!"
Meiqiu excitedly circled around Xiao Jie, his happiness value instantly increased by 10 points, and his loyalty also increased by points.
"It tastes good, right? If it tastes good, then eat more. The master is very kind to you, so you should just follow the master happily, okay?"
As he spoke, he threw another secret dog food meatball over.
"Hello, master. Master is so good to me!" Coal Ball's mouth was full of oil and his happiness value increased wildly.
Xiao Jie fed Coal Ball five secret dog foods in a row, and Coal Ball's happiness value directly rushed to 100, and then he stopped.
As the happiness value increased, the loyalty also increased rapidly. Every time Coal Ball's loyalty increased by 5 points, Xiao Jie would ask if he could teach him skills. When Coal Ball's loyalty reached 80, he finally agreed with a grunt.
"Hehe, okay Master, I'll teach you, just watch."
As he said this, he aimed at a small tree not far away, dug the ground with his hooves, and slammed into it.
Bang! It hit the small tree like a black cannonball, and the small tree, which was as thick as a bowl, was directly broken.
[System prompt: Your pet Coal Ball has taught you a combat skill - Savage Charge.]
Haha, I finally learned it.
Xiao Jie couldn't wait to open the skill bar and check it out.
[Wild Charge (Combat Skill)
Use: Charge up and charge, dealing 22 bludgeoning damage to the target in front of you (the higher your head defense, the higher the damage), and gaining a speed damage bonus.
Side Effects: If the target successfully blocks, has too high a defense, or is too large, the user will suffer 22 points of reflected damage and be stunned for 1-3 seconds.
Combat Skill Introduction: This skill imitates the fighting skills of wild boars, violently ramming the enemy, causing damage and trying to knock it down. However, the effect of force is relative, so remember to wear a sturdy helmet when using this skill. 】
Damn, why are there any side effects?
Xiao Jie was a little puzzled. If there were no side effects, this skill would actually be pretty good, but with the side effects it seemed a bit useless.
If you get blocked, not only will you be hurt but you will also be dizzy, which would be bad.
Looks like I have to use it with caution in the future.
But it doesn’t matter, there are more than one animal in the village.
Xiao Jie hurried to the sheep pen. The old man herding the shepherds here had been replaced. The new shepherd was a lady in her thirties. Xiao Jie was immediately happy when he saw her, as if he was the one who brought her into the village.
When the lady saw Xiao Jie, she immediately greeted him, "Ah, benefactor, what are you doing in the sheepfold?"
"Bring out the head sheep. I have something to say to it."
Without saying a word, the old lady opened the sheepfold and led out the head sheep.
Xiao Jie got straight to the point, "Goat, we are old acquaintances, right? I need your help with something."
The goat should have a strong impression of him, after all, he had been herding sheep for a long time.
The goat nodded, "Meh, human, I told you, I don't know anything about weird goats."
When Xiao Jie was looking for the strange goat, he asked it, but unfortunately the goat didn't know anything at all.
Xiao Jie hurriedly explained: "I'm not looking for some weird goat. I want to learn some skills from you. You can do mountain climbing and wild goat charge, so teach me."
"Meh, human, why do you need to learn these clumsy skills of goats? They are useless. If my wild goat charge was really that powerful, how could we be locked up in the sheepfold? Besides, humans are different in size from goats, so even if you learn it, it won't be able to fully exert its effect."
"Stop talking nonsense and teach me what the conditions are."
"Meh, well, get me some white, salty rocks and I'll teach you."
[System prompt: Big Horn Goat has issued you the task [Desire of the Head Goat], help Big Horn Goat find the 'white salty stone', task rewards: Mountain Climbing, Wild Goat Charge.]
