Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 170: Returning to the Danger Zone is Where the Real Business Is (3)

Ye Nai took out her meat-transporting container which was filled with neatly butchered pure meat. The bright red color, slightly sticky to the touch, clearly indicated that the meat had been freshly slaughtered just a few hours ago.

"Is this from one cow?"

"Not just one, it seems like there are two big cows here." Ye Nai shrugged. "They were so big, butchering them was exhausting."

"Are you keeping the skin?"

"Keeping it, but I haven’t washed it."

"No problem, no problem, bring it out let’s have a look."

Ye Nai then threw three blood-soaked Fresh Bull Skins onto the ground, two large and one small.

"Oh, were we eating meat from this small cow on our way here?"

"Yes, the meat from young cows is more tender."

"This skin is so thick too, even thicker than that of a regular wild bull."

"Yeah, the skin of this young cow is indeed thicker."

"Wow, does that mean the wild bull has better quality?"

"I’m not sure about that. As long as it’s a cow and we can eat it and use it, that’s good enough."

"Right, right, right, let’s go to the cold storage and get them to offer a good price."

Ye Nai packed up her things, and the three Hunter teams took her to the cold storage—not for anything special, just to enjoy the spectacle.

The cold storage manager breathed a huge sigh of relief, having thought they were there to start a fight.

When Ye Nai entered the cold storage and laid out a large amount of game on the floor, the manager was overly shocked, choking as he coughed.

"Wow, did you stock up in the Secret Realm?!"

"Do you want it or not?"

"Of course, we’ll take it!"

The manager, having seen many mutant beast meats come in, took a closer look and noticed something off.

"I’ve never seen these mutant beasts before, are they a new species?"

The manager pointed to the completely intact mutant beasts on the ground which Ye Nai had deliberately left behind. If it had been just meat, they would have needed to test it before entry into the database, which would be too time-consuming. Providing the entire beast was more straightforward.

"Yep, this trip took two months."

"Wow, you really did go stocking up."

The Hunter teams, observing the majority of the floor covered with mutant bulls, were highly impressed by Ye Nai’s butchering skills.

Managing to butcher such large bulls into two large parts and one small part, and removing the pure meat, demonstrated her self-taught butchering prowess.

"Are all these new species? Is this wild bull a new species too?"

"Yep, didn’t you notice? This bull has odd hooves, similar to a horse’s."

"Eh? Wow, it really does!"

"The research institute just took away four large bull feet, and I didn’t give them any meat."

"Where did the bull feet come from?" the manager asked, looking at the intact wild bulls on the ground, with no horns missing from their heads.

"Left over by vicious beasts."

"Alright then~"

As they were new species and completely intact, the cold storage naturally offered a very good price.

Ye Nai’s expertly butchered pure bull meat entered the cold storage in large quantities, with the remainder being privately bought by Sister Cao’s three Hunter teams and the cold storage staff to cook and eat themselves.

Although the warriors in the cold storage also lived in the barracks and ate in the cafeteria daily for convenience, they actually had the conditions to cook their own meals and it was no problem at all to stir up a few dishes and enjoy some drinks.

Ye Nai also sent a message to Brother Peng; heaps of Fresh Bull Meat had made Brother Peng so restless at home that he directly reserved the last two boxes and stated he would come to pick them up now, not waiting for Ye Nai to meet him back at home.

"Do we have more? Do we have more? Are there any large prey left?"

"Spider Legs?"

"You have legs? Wait a moment, let me lay out a tarp."

A large tarp specifically for collecting spider legs was brought over, unfolding to cover several square meters with internal and external colors. One must only stand within the outer colored ring and absolutely not step towards the center.

"Come on, put the legs on the inner color. It’s clean there. It’s meticulously cleaned after each use, so it’s strictly forbidden to step on it carelessly."

Ye Nai, of course, understood. Once spider legs were chopped off, the flesh inside the severed ends was exposed, so it was usually wrapped up to avoid getting dirty.

She had chopped so many legs for the purpose of selling them. Naturally, she followed the rules, wrapping each severed surface with oil paper. As she spoke, she scattered a small mountain of legs.

The mountain was divided into three piles.

The smallest pile radiated abundant energy as soon as it was unveiled.

"Wow, these are the legs of a female spider before laying eggs!"

"You still have this many?"

The people in the cold storage laughed heartily, hastily guarding these plump legs, fearing that any team leader would claim one for themselves.

"That’s all. I entered the Secret Realm late and only caught a few that haven’t laid eggs. But this meat tastes very good. You can tell it’s from a female spider’s first laying of the year. Experienced mother spiders have laid their eggs early, leaving no chance for me to profit by picking up the leftovers."

The team leaders and members standing by the tarp silently licked their lips; they had been eating along the way.

Upon hearing this, the people in the cold storage didn’t consider the meat grade; it was worth storing for later use in special dishes, meals for the ill, or exchanges with brother units and so on.

"Is that largest pile male spider legs?" The cold storage manager hastened to Ye Nai’s side in three large steps.

"Yes."

"And the one on the very end?"

"Those are the legs of a mother spider that has laid eggs, less energy and the meat is a bit shriveled. I think it’s more suitable for ordinary people who are just starting to try mutant beast meat, as it’s less stimulating to the body."

"Alright then, we’ll take these two piles."

Ye Nai took back the shriveled legs.

When mentioned as shriveled, it meant the legs had at least a third of their interior hollowed out, making the meat loose and less firm. Once steamed, the texture was slightly dry and coarse.

Awakeners disregarded it, but for ordinary people, it was still acceptable, counting as a "budget" option for mutant beast meat. For 180 bucks per pound of pure meat, it was enough for a family to enjoy several meals.

If it were male spider legs, based on meat quality, a whole ordinary level leg started at thirty thousand.

The legs of a female spider before laying eggs jumped directly to one hundred thousand per leg.

It’s no joke how hard it is to defeat a large spider.

The ferocity of a female spider before laying eggs was something to be witnessed to understand.

With such expensive market prices for whole legs, selling them in pieces was even more costly, definitely unaffordable for ordinary families, thus the shriveled legs became an alternative.

For Hunters who encountered such mother spiders, the profits were not great; somewhere between a small loss and breaking even. The meat from the legs wasn’t lucrative; they had to rely on selling the poison gland spider silk glands and the shell to make ends meet, these items having stable purchase prices, so just breaking even was considered not bad.

The profits from male spiders were secure whether it rained or shined. Hunters loved male spiders.

Having confirmed these were all the spider legs, Ye Nai set up a new transaction specifically for the spider legs. The manager made the payment, the system automatically deducted taxes, and the remaining money arrived in her account within two minutes after receiving the tax deduction notification.

"Hey, right, here are the legs, but where’s the body?"

"Does the cold storage still take spider bodies?"

"Still on it?"

"Yes."

"Take it out and let’s see. If there’s a lot, I’ll call the Institute."

The next second, everyone’s view was eclipsed.

On the tarp where the legs were piled, a mountain of large spider bodies was heaped, distinguishable by different shell patterns belonging to various spider species, all large and of the edible leg meat variety.
