55: Chapter 55: It’s Your Turn, Hard-haired Pig 55: Chapter 55: It’s Your Turn, Hard-haired Pig Because Zhao Guang brought juice this time, he finally avoided being destroyed by these Beastmen. Although the Beastmen also tried it, they generally didn’t like it. In a word, it was lackluster, and they would rather eat a few fruits directly. And not many of these Beastmen liked to eat fruits. Most of the Beastmen were carnivorous animals, at most they would need some grain crops. As for fruits and vegetables, not many took a liking to them. Many Beastmen might never eat these things in their lifetimes. It wasn’t just a matter of taste, but also their own physical constitution. If humans dared to do the same, they probably wouldn’t last long before their bodies completely gave out, but Beastmen wouldn’t have such problems. In some ways, these Beastmen really had natural advantages. The feast had become a habit, and it wasn’t until it ended that Zhao Guang was allowed to leave. This time, in addition to collecting some Gold Coins, the most important acquisition was the Holy Spring. The Holy Spring wasn’t just one bottle, but rather a whole three big bottles, and who knows how valuable it was to the Beastmen. But judging by those Beastmen’s expressions, it seemed that this item was very dear to them. On his way back to the large stone, Zhao Guang finally saw that familiar figure. “Why didn’t you dare to come out when the Beastmen were here, but now you run out?” Zhao Guang said, looking at the Hard-haired Pig grunting at him with an unfriendly gleam in his eye. The Hard-haired Pig seemed to sense something and didn’t charge over this time, but it also didn’t leave. Zhao Guang put on his gloves, stepped forward, and grabbed hold of the Hard-haired Pig. “Since you’ve appeared before me, you can’t think of running away. Good timing, I need an assistant.” Zhao Guang didn’t care whether the Hard-haired Pig understood him or not, the Hard-haired Pig was roaring and trying to attack him with its spikes while in his hands. But the Stab-Resistant Suit Zhao Guang wore, wasn’t something that these kind of spikes could penetrate. With his other hand, Zhao Guang pulled out the Beast Taming Scroll. “Let me think, I believe the spell goes like this,” Zhao Guang began reciting the spell he had learned earlier. This thing wasn’t a Magic Item; it could respond to Magic Power as long as it was stimulated by spiritual power. The Beastmen’s scroll used a unique kind of Magic Power. Zhao Guang didn’t have this kind of Magic Power and could only recite the spell while mobilizing his own spiritual power. As the spell went on, Zhao Guang felt as if something in his head was stirring. He knew it was his spiritual power. Speaking of which, this was the first time he clearly felt the presence of this power. The next moment, a strand of that power flowed out, following a special path into the scroll. Yes, that was the beast skin, rolled up into a scroll, no difference. The next moment, the beast skin heated up and then burst into light, a beam of light entered the Hard-haired Pig’s body. When the effect was activated, Zhao Guang saw that the beast skin in his hand had turned into dust and scattered on the ground. The Hard-haired Pig stopped struggling, staring at Zhao Guang with a mournful look. It was that kind of sentiment where I thought you were a friend, but you were plotting against me. The Hard-haired Pig was just a wild beast, with no high intelligence, only some thought patterns. “Alright, don’t be like that, living with me from now on is going to be much better than running around by yourself. I’ll buy you fresh vegetables later, the kind with pesticides, that should be tasty, right?” Zhao Guang looked at the Hard-haired Pig with ill intent, seeming to sense something, the Hard-haired Pig struggled continuously. “Let’s start the experiment first, come on, eat this.” Zhao Guang took out a pill from his pocket, which was the painkiller he had purchased. It was of a professional grade, the kind that doctors wouldn’t normally prescribe to the average person. After swallowing the pill, the Hard-haired Pig kept retching but had no other choice. “Looking at your reaction, this stuff is bitter enough. I’m really giving you a hard time,” Zhao Guang said with insincere sympathy. “By the way, to prevent any accidents, you shouldn’t come over here anymore. Just stay in your old den from now on.” Zhao Guang didn’t go back immediately either. Having mostly recovered, he continued to drink from the Holy Spring to improve himself. The feeling of continuously strengthening oneself, even to the point where the improvement was visible to the naked eye, was just too good, too addictive. Taking the Hard-haired Pig that had lost all desires, Zhao Guang once again took over the pig’s home. “Okay, okay, don’t be so down. I’ll bring you a couple of blankets later.” Having signed a contract, the Hard-haired Pig could barely understand Zhao Guang’s intentions. Hearing this, the pig’s eyes lit up, glistening as it stared at Zhao Guang, as if asking if he was serious. Zhao Guang couldn’t be bothered to pay attention, drank from the Holy Spring, and then started training to improve. Under the influence of the Holy Spring, his physical fitness expanded yet again. At this rate, considering the increased speed to come, maybe he wouldn’t need a month, not even half, to achieve success. It was time to consider the next steps, his methods of training Combat Energy, and what he should do. There was no point in thinking about help from the Beastmen, he could only try to find a way with Yars. As an Earl, this guy should have something in that regard. It’s too bad that without his own influence, many things were difficult to handle. But as for setting up one’s own influence, better forget it, establishing power at the border meant he was tired of living. Once the effect of the medicine subsided, Zhao Guang greeted, “Alright, I’m going back. You stay put and wait for me to come back and continue medicating you.” The fate of the Hard-haired Pig was sealed as Zhao Guang’s experimental subject. The Hard-haired Pig, left behind, watched Zhao Guang’s retreating figure, wanting to rush over and nuzzle him, but daring not to do so. In the end, it could only look at its new master leave with deep resentment, lamenting its miserable fate. But speaking of which, it felt much lighter, some of its old problems seemed to have disappeared, what was going on? The Hard-haired Pig, lacking in intelligence, couldn’t understand and could only lie down to sleep. On the other side, Zhao Guang had already returned home and started organizing his things. “I’ll go again in the afternoon, this time to increase the Human Camp’s defensive power. At the very least, I should set an example for them.” Zhao Guang decided to take the initiative, unwilling to always passively wait for their decisions. Besides, if such things happened and they thought he couldn’t help himself, what then? And being able to sell more things meant he could get more of what he wanted. Moreover, it seemed that he should set up his own Magic Item factory. This was something his brother-in-law could probably help with. His brother-in-law had helped others tinker with building materials in the past, and many of the materials were the same. If he helped his brother-in-law establish a similar factory, not only would it take care of his brother-in-law’s dignity, but it would also improve the living conditions for their family. His sister and brother-in-law had always been good to him.
