The meal took a full hour.
If you don't drink and just eat, an hour is already a very long time.
A whole steel-toothed wild boar was eaten cleanly, and all the edible meat went into the stomachs of Jiang Yun, Chen Yan, and Qin Yourong.
This is an adult steel-tusked wild boar, weighing over one ton, with a meat yield of about 50%, which is almost 500 kilograms of meat!
Among the three people, Qin Yourong ate the least and Jiang Yun ate the most. On average, each of them ate 170 kilograms.
This does not mean that three awakened people must consume 170 kilograms of meat in one meal.
If their appetite really reached such a terrifying level, then not to mention Kahn Company, even the five top powers would not be able to support those awakened ones and rulers.
However, as humans unlock their genetic locks more and more, their control over their bodies is becoming stronger and stronger.
Therefore, it is entirely possible to consume food far exceeding the body's needs in a short period of time at one time. After the internal organs convert these foods into energy that will be consumed daily, the excess energy will be stored in every cell of the body.
This kind of storage certainly has its limits. Once the maximum energy value that the cells can withstand is reached, if the cells continue to absorb energy in large quantities, they are likely to burst.
When the body's energy storage is at its limit, the awakened person can use this reserved energy to survive those difficult times when food is difficult to obtain.
The only drawback is that if energy storage is at its limit, then even if the energy stored in the cells is not mobilized, the energy will slowly be lost over time.
Moreover, under the state of extreme energy storage, daily energy consumption will be a little higher than under normal conditions.
Therefore, in the wasteland space-time where food sources are extremely precious, it is often a wasteful behavior for the awakened to store energy to the extreme.
As long as the food supply is relatively stable, the awakened will rarely adopt this way of eating.
But the situation today is different.
This meal was treated by Chen Yan, so Jiang Yun didn't need to worry about extra consumption. Every extra bite he ate was a profit.
As for Chen Yan and Qin Yourong, they had already spent all their crystals, so why didn’t they eat more?
What's more, in Chen Yan's opinion, this steel-toothed wild boar is indeed delicious, and using it to store energy is a very cost-effective choice.
Jiang Yun might make a huge profit, but Chen Yan will definitely not lose anything!
When the bill came, it turned out to be the price of four second-level crystals. Jiang Yun brought Chen Yan and Qin Yourong to eat here. He also wanted to take care of his friend's business, so of course he would not take the initiative to ask his friend for a discount.
Considering the scarcity of steel-toothed wild boars, Chen Yan didn't think the price was outrageous.
But if you think about it carefully, under normal circumstances, a level 2 mutant creature can only dig out one level 2 crystal.
As a result, the corpse without the crystals could be sold at a high price of four second-level crystals after processing. Compared with zombies that are completely inedible, the mutant creatures that can provide meat are really cost-effective.
After coming out of the restaurant, Jiang Yun patted his stomach with satisfaction.
Just as I was about to say a few words of thanks to Chen Yan, the communicator suddenly rang.
Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment. Considering that he had just eaten a big meal with Chen Yan, in order to show his trust in Chen Yan and his close relationship with Chen Yan, he just played the communicator in front of Chen Yan.
"Director Jiang, there's an urgent mandatory mission being issued. A major incident has occurred at the company's peripheral force, the Paradise Stronghold. The leader, Hao Hongsheng, has been confirmed dead. The company has currently lost all contact with the stronghold. Director Jiang, please lead your team to the stronghold immediately to investigate.
It's important to note that the leader of this stronghold, Hao Hong, has been promoted to a Level 6 Awakener. His death means that the incident itself has the potential to threaten a Level 6 Awakener. Therefore, in addition to you, Director Jiang, the company has also arranged for a special operations captain to accompany you, but this captain will not be responsible for commanding the operation.
Listening to the instructions coming from the communicator, Jiang Yun became even more confused.
The communication number that can be used to assign tasks to him through the communicator comes from the Task Management Office of the Logistics Department.
Since the other party has emphasized that this is a mandatory task, it means that he has no right to refuse. The task instructions may come from the company's top management, so he can only carry out the orders.
This kind of thing actually happens frequently in the special operations department, but it is quite rare to see it happen in their security department.
Smacking his lips, Jiang Yun smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Chen. I was just thinking of continuing to tell you about some things that need attention in the company, but I didn't expect the higher-ups to suddenly assign a mandatory task. I have to quickly notify my team to assemble and then go to carry out this task.
However, mandatory missions generally require certain confidentiality, so I hope Brother Chen won't tell anyone about this mission. If I can successfully complete the mission and return safely, I will definitely visit Brother Chen and tell him about the mission to avoid his curiosity.
Chen Yan bowed and said, "Brother Jiang, you're too polite. The company mission is serious business, so of course we have to focus on it. Please rest assured, Brother Jiang, I will definitely not tell anyone about this matter. We can discuss everything after Brother Jiang completes the mission and returns. I also need to go see if my companions have found a place to stay. Then tomorrow I will go to the mission hall you mentioned and try to collect enough contribution and crystals to exchange for the Level 6 Awakening Potion as soon as possible."
"That's right! In the company, only with strength can you have status, and only with status can you get treatment and power, so strength is everything! Come on, Brother Chen! I'm rooting for you!"
Jiang Yun encouraged Chen Yan, then turned around and hurried towards the giant wall.
Watching Jiang Yun go away, Chen Yan and Qin Yourong also left the satellite town.
I used the communicator to ask the other members of the small group where they were, and then we agreed on a place to meet again.
On the way to the meeting place, Qin Yourong first handed the communicator to Chen Yan and asked Chen Yan to throw it into the portable storage to set up a physical shield. Then he said, "Will Jiang Yun find any problems? Although we didn't leave any clues, we came from the east after all. Will Jiang Yun be able to connect us?"
Chen Yan thought for a moment and said seriously, "Although this possibility cannot be ruled out, I don't think it's very likely. The large number of survivors outside the stronghold are our natural protective barrier. As long as Jiang Yun conducts a certain range of questioning of those survivors, he won't suspect us. This is because we were not within the sight of those survivors from beginning to end."
