I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 840: Chapter 841: The Magical Snake Meat_1

Looking at the cave in front of him, Song Jian squinted his eyes and started to observe carefully.

“These two hawk fledglings must have rolled out from these holes, right?” Song Jian speculated. In the holes he had passed by earlier, there were many corpses of hawk fledglings. The holes there were steep, and once the hawk fledglings entered, they could easily crash into sharp rocks and die from injuries if they couldn’t control their bodies;

Looking at these two hawk fledglings, although they seemed a bit listless, their bodies were unharmed. It seemed that the holes in this area were relatively gentle, and the fledglings could fall from their nests without sustaining serious injuries;

“If that’s the case, there should be many traces of hawk fledglings around here. Why is there not a single trace left?” Song Jian’s eyebrows knitted slightly as he observed the area;

Just then, the surface of the pool beneath the waterfall started to ripple gently, and a massive snake, seven to eight meters long, slowly swam out from the pool, lunging toward him from behind;

The giant snake’s scales glistened with a metallic sheen, effortlessly sliding across the water without making a sound. Moreover, it seemed to fly, for once it left the water, it soared into the air and lunged straight for Song Jian’s back;

...

Song Jian was examining the holes that were taller than a person, wondering whether he should crawl through them to check the hawk nests. Perhaps, with some luck, he could catch a few more hawk fledglings.

At that moment, a faint whizzing noise suddenly reached Song Jian’s ears, and a faint stench wafted to his nostrils. On the ground, a thick shadow was pouncing toward him;

Thousands of Swords Flying Immortal Decision!

Song Jian gripped the long sword in his hand and turned around to slash at the void behind him;

Nearly twenty Spirit Swords floated out of thin air in front of him, following his gaze towards the shadow, whooshing through the air toward it;

Boom boom boom~

After a series of explosions, the python that looked much like a giant forest boa had fallen and already turned into a corpse, its body full of sword wounds over a foot long, continuously spurting blood;

This python was just a level 43 common monster with less than six thousand Vitality Points and was instantly killed by Song Jian; staring at the three-inch horn protruding from the giant snake’s forehead, Song Jian’s thoughts stirred, picking up a level 40 green quality item the snake had dropped, he casually cast a Dissection Spell;

Song Jian’s Dissection Spell was still low level, and he hadn’t practiced it specifically. Now, seeing the three-inch horn on the python’s forehead, he became curious and couldn’t help casting the Dissection Spell. Surprisingly, it was successful.

The monster’s corpse, which had already started to burn with transparent flames, began to vanish slowly, leaving behind two items on the ground;

“Huh, pale golden material?” Song Jian was surprised to see a piece of snake meat emitting a pale golden glow on the ground and a blue quality horn, a hint of delight appearing on his face.

This was the first time Song Jian had encountered a material of golden quality;

“Strange, my Dissection Spell level isn’t high. How could it produce such high-quality material?” Song Jian looked at the two materials in his hands, feeling puzzled;

With his level of Dissection Spell, it was most likely that he would produce materials of grey quality, which were utterly useless. With some luck, he might get white quality materials that could be used, but it was difficult to get green or higher quality materials;

Not to mention this golden quality material, even if he could normally gather this blue horn, Song Jian would probably be happy for several days.

“It is quite strange!” Song Jian began to inspect the properties of these two materials;

The blue-quality horn appeared quite ordinary, a forging material to be utilized for crafting daggers or short swords;

However, the light-gold-quality snake meat opened Song Jian’s eyes.

“Magic snake meat, cooking ingredient, quality: gold, effect when used: can be used in cooking to have a high chance of making food that permanently increases attributes; requirement for use: cooking skill level eight; material description: This is a piece of material filled with magical power, it’s a dream ingredient for many chefs, by using it you can make various kinds of food that increase attributes, and as for which attributes will be increased, that depends on your cooking methods and your cooking level!”

“A cooking material that permanently increases attributes?” Song Jian wore a surprised look on his face;

Among players, there had always been a rumor that, if cooking skills reached the top level, one could concoct food that permanently increases attributes, but that had always been just an unconfirmed tale, and no one had ever made real material that could increase attributes;

Song Jian always thought, even if such rumors were true, it would surely be due to some high-quality recipe; unexpectedly, the legend did exist, and what could make such food was not dependent on the recipe, but on the cooking materials;

Cooking was one of the best life skills for leveling up, and after some time in the game, almost all players would acquire this skill;

Song Jian’s cooking skill had already been leveled to nine, and he did not lack various high-quality cooking materials; besides purchasing some recipes at the auction house, Song Jian had also researched many recipes on his own, especially since his cooking skills were quite good in the real world;

Seeing this material, Song Jian became somewhat impatient, immediately lighting a bonfire and starting to use this material; as he did not have the corresponding supplementary ingredients at hand, he could only use it to make the simplest grilled meat;

And the properties of this material also confirmed to Song Jian that the attributes of the food made would not depend on the recipe, but rather on this gold-quality material;

Suddenly, a piece of fragrant grilled meat, emitting a faint gold glow, appeared before Song Jian’s eyes.

“Indeed, the final quality of the food is determined by the material, not the cooking skill or recipe!” Song Jian thought to himself as he observed the attribute of the grilled meat.

“Magical Grilled Meat, food, quality: gold, effect when used: after consumption, permanently increases Constitution by 2 points, every second increases Vitality Points by 128, for a total increase of 3200 Vitality Points, if consumed for more than 15 seconds, it can restore all hunger levels, and also grant a temporary effect of Constitution +10 for a duration of 30 minutes; item description: the effect of the permanent attribute increase from the same type of food can only take effect once per person;”

Without hesitation, Song Jian ate the steaming grilled meat, thereby increasing his Constitution by 2 points and gaining a temporary effect of Constitution +10;

Even without the temporary effect, Song Jian’s Constitution had reached 106 points, and considering that each point of Constitution increased Vitality Points by fifty, his Vitality Points had already exceeded five thousand, which was higher than that of some poorly equipped warriors;

“It’s a pity, you can only eat the same kind of food once, otherwise just by food alone, one could build a veritable vitality powerhouse,” Song Jian mused inwardly.

But soon, a lightbulb went off in his mind: “The same kind of food, the same kind of food… if I change the cooking method, wouldn’t it become a different kind of food? Damn it, besides Constitution, I still have other attributes, and even if the food increases Constitution, the effects of different recipes are not the same…”

With that thought, Song Jian’s gaze shifted toward the pond, his eyes filled with deep expectation;
