As night falls, the dark sky is enveloped, and the bright moonlight shines down, bringing a faint glow to the night world. Countless stars twinkle in the sky, hiding many unknown celestial mysteries.
On the banks of a river in the Warcraft Forest, people had already set up camp in this clearing. The light from the campfire illuminated the area, and a man and a woman were sitting nearby watching the pot on the fire emitting wisps of steam.
"Kayal, do you really want to eat monster flesh?"
Kree was still a little worried.
"It's alright. Monster meat can be eaten as long as the miasma inside is purified, and it can even make you stronger. I've already purified the miasma inside the meat, so there won't be any problems."
Kyal added some more spices to the stewed wolf meat in the pot.
Because wolf meat is too coarse and has a strong flavor, he blanched it in boiling water before stewing it, and then soaked it in clean water for an hour, which is why it was delayed until evening.
Can you become stronger by eating monster flesh?
Kree had never heard of such a thing. It was common knowledge that monster flesh contained miasma that could poison people if they ate it. Since she knew it was poisonous, she certainly wouldn't try it, after all, a person only has one life.
"Yes, monster meat contains [Suitability Factors]. By consuming and absorbing these factors, you can slightly increase your talent value. Since speed is the strength of the dire wolf, its meat contains [Suitability Factors] that can increase its speed talent value."
"If it's a wild boar monster with thick hide, its meat should contain a [Suitability Factor] that increases physical defense stats."
"Unfortunately, the [Suitability Factor] for each type of monster only takes effect once; it won't work the second time you consume it."
Kyal explained casually, taking a spoonful of wolf meat and broth to check its color.
"Hmm...it's cooked. Let me try it first."
Kyal served himself a bowl and savored it slowly.
"The taste... is alright."
Smacking his lips, the flavor of the wolf meat was completely masked by the aroma of spices, and the rough texture of the meat was also solved by stewing it until it was very tender, but the taste... was just the taste of spices.
Kyal felt that the food was just passable, but his skill level was limited, so this was all he could manage.
I took a sip of the soup, and it was very flavorful and rich. The soup was quite good, and it was because of the large amount of spices that it had this taste.
"Really? I'll try some too."
Kree also served herself a bowl. After tasting it, the straightforward Kree only commented that the meat was so-so and the soup was alright.
"It seems I probably don't have any talent for cooking."
Kyal shrugged helplessly. Before he transmigrated, he rarely cooked. The original Kyal was just a rural orphan who was lucky to have enough to eat to survive. He basically just cooked until the food was done.
“I can’t even cook, Kyal, you’re already amazing.”
Kreeher did indeed think so. At home, her meals were taken care of by servants, and when she was on the march or fighting, they were taken care of by cooks. She didn't even know what a kitchen looked like or what the kitchen utensils were for.
Although the taste was just average, it was edible and neither of them were picky. The pot of stewed meat soup was finished in no time.
"It seems that I have indeed become a little stronger."
Kreeher swung her arm quickly, feeling that her attack speed was indeed slightly faster.
Kayal opened the [Eye of the Spirit] to observe the changes in his and Kree's speed talent values.
"Our speed talent value has increased by 2 points, which is not bad. If we eat a different magical beast every day, and eat our way through this forest, our total talent value should increase by dozens or even hundreds of points."
Kyal felt a bright future beckoning him. He finally understood why those who knew this secret hadn't revealed it: a total talent value increase of tens or even hundreds of points! Everyone who knew this news would go crazy, and then hunt monsters in large numbers until all monsters were extinct.
What use would knowing this secret be if all monsters were wiped out? Besides, if there really is a god, wouldn't the god allow the monsters he created to be wiped out?
Perhaps out of selfishness, or perhaps guided by God, none of those who knew this secret intended to reveal it, not even Kyal.
“That’s truly amazing… No wonder you insisted on coming to this place, Kyal.”
"Yes, this forest has the most diverse range of monsters, but besides that, my main purpose in coming here is to find a secluded place to cultivate."
Kayal needs to practice and hone many skills, which cannot be revealed in the palace: the divine bow of the [Bow God], the martial arts of the [Grandmaster], the assassination techniques and stealth skills of the [Assassin Master], and so on…
If he could learn all the skills he remembered on his own, he wouldn't need to change his skill list every day.
Besides that, he also practices his Nen abilities. Kayal's goal is to at least open his Mind Hole and master the three major elements of [Entanglement], [Absolute], and [Refinement], as well as the advanced application techniques of these three basic skills: [Circle], [Hidden], [Condensation], [Round], [Firm], and [Flow].
As for developing his own unique Nen ability, "Hair," Kayal hasn't decided what kind of ability to design yet. He needs to determine his Nen type first.
"By the way, Kresh, I'll teach you something."
Kyal reached out and placed his hand on Kreeher's head, using [Improved] to transmit some information to her.
"These are... the training methods and insights for [Shrinking Earth]?... And the [Mind Ability Training Manual]?"
Feeling the sudden influx of information into her mind, Kresh carefully began to peruse it.
She had certainly heard of the Grandmaster's signature move, Shrinking Earth. It was a sophisticated footwork technique that allowed for high-speed movement, instantly closing the distance to a target and bringing them closer. Combined with the Grandmaster's martial arts, it was quite terrifying.
According to the information transmitted by Kaiyal, Nen is a technique that allows one to control and utilize life energy through one's own will. Everyone can develop their own unique abilities through their Nen system.
As a member of a noble family in the Kingdom of Geolar, Kreeher felt that there were few secrets in this world that she didn't know, but regarding the existence of Nen abilities, she had never heard of them before, as if they didn't exist in this world at all.
"【Shrinking Ground】is very suitable for your melee class. It can increase your mobility and allow you to quickly approach the target. When facing attacks, you can also use 【Insight】to quickly dodge."
"You can also try training your Nen ability. You can develop new abilities to further enhance your fighting style or make up for your weaknesses."
Kyal withdrew his hand and sat quietly beside her, waiting for Kreeher to process the knowledge.
"Kayal, did you really learn this Nen ability from someone else?"
Kreeher stared at Kyal's face, seemingly trying to find an answer.
"Oh, that's a secret."
Kyal has the face of a riddle teller.
