The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 1307 - 802: Liu Zheng: It’s Not That I Can’t Afford a Feast, Feed Is Just More Cost-Effective
"By the way, Master Bai, do you have any medicine that can quickly replenish strength?"
Liu Zheng asked.
Although having Innate Qi means stepping onto the road to transcendence, he hasn’t started walking it yet.
"We do have some, but the efficacy is average, and it might not be suitable. If you don’t mind, Mr. Liu, I can introduce you to someone who might have what you need."
Bai Yutang pondered and said.
"Sure, why would I mind?"
He asked curiously.
"Because my friend runs a farm."
Bai Yutang said.
"Isn’t he raising people?"
Liu Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, a dangerous aura filled the air.
"No, he’s raising a type of mountain-running crocodile."
Bai Yutang shook his head.
"Mountain-running... crocodile?"
"Yes. This mountain-running crocodile has tender meat and doesn’t toughen with age, even the older they get, the more flavor substances accumulate in their flesh, making them loved by the gourmets of Metropolis. The downside is the meat-to-food ratio is extremely low, and he must use his unique feed to make them grow faster."
Bai Yutang said.
In reality, mountain-running chickens don’t completely avoid feed either, otherwise, the input is too low compared to the output.
"So you’re suggesting I buy feed from him, right?"
Liu Zheng finally understood.
"Exactly, that’s why I said if you don’t mind."
Bai Yutang nodded.
"Hmm... if his feed is non-toxic and harmless, it’s not impossible."
He squinted his eyes.
After all, he’s eaten all kinds of bizarre stuff, this feed is no different.
At least crocodile feed sounds better than pig feed, right?
Bai Tianshi had an odd expression, even though he had just gone through the pain of losing his mother. Although the subject was his benefactor and boss, the thought of a mighty individual relying on feed to fight was too hard not to burst out laughing.
He dared not speak now, afraid that he might laugh as soon as he opened his mouth.
"I’ll call him now."
Bai Yutang didn’t dawdle, and immediately took out his phone to make the call. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Soon, the call was connected, and he put it on speakerphone.
"Good afternoon, Doctor Bai."
A man’s voice, one of an evident heavy smoker, resounded.
"Good afternoon, President Kong, are you available now?"
Bai Yutang asked.
"What is there to be unavailable about? I spend all day on the mountain, surrounded by crocodiles and trees, so I’m free to do as I please."
President Kong jestingly replied.
"President Kong, still as humorous as ever. I’m calling to ask for a favor."
Bai Yutang wanted to save Liu Zheng’s time, so he sped up the conversation.
"Given our relationship, there’s no need for favors, just say it. Do you want to buy crocodiles or help purchase herbs?"
President Kong asked.
"Neither, I want to procure a batch of crocodile feed from you."
Bai Yutang said.
"Feed? Is the Bai Family starting a farm?"
President Kong wondered.
"No, it’s for a friend."
"Your friend starting a farm?"
President Kong realized.
"My friend wants to eat it himself."
"..."
There was two seconds of silence from the other end of the call.
"Your friend, is he a crocodile transformed into a spirit?"
President Kong couldn’t help asking.
"He’s a Black Mountain Goat Cub hybrid."
Bai Yutang replied.
"Black Mountain Goat Cub hybrid, huh..."
There seemed to be the sound of swallowing from the other line.
"He’s a delivery rider for the Bloody Restaurant."
"Oh."
President Kong’s tone was calm.
"He just went to the hospital to deliver food and killed their orthopedic chief while he was there."
Bai Yutang continued.
"... How much feed does your friend need?"
President Kong asked respectfully.
"Mr. Liu, what do you think?"
Bai Yutang turned and asked.
"I don’t know either. Based on the daily caloric needs of an average adult male human, how much feed would be necessary?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"President Kong, did you hear that?"
"Heard it, heard it. Let me think, about a capful should be enough."
President Kong thought and replied.
The mountain-running crocodiles don’t particularly like eating, often stopping after a half-full meal, so he wasn’t very precise with feeding, unlike some farms that might measure precisely down to grams per meal per crocodile.
"Then get me ten thousand caps."
Liu Zheng said generously.
"No problem."
President Kong agreed immediately.
His feed isn’t generally sold externally, but ten thousand caps is approximately 200 kilograms, a mere spread for the whole farm. Be it Bai Yutang’s position or Liu Zheng’s strength, they’re worth it.
"If you’re available, please send the goods to Bencao Hall now."
Bai Yutang said.
"Alrighty. But I must warn you, the feed tastes pretty bad, even my crocodiles don’t like eating it much. If Mr. Liu ends up not liking it, you can return it, and I’ll refund you completely."
President Kong preemptively cautioned them.
"President Kong, you’re straightforward. How about this? If the feed doesn’t taste good, the crocodiles must be delicious. Why not sell me two crocs, then I’ll have a balanced meal of meat and veggies."
Liu Zheng pondered and said.
"Then I’ll pick two twenty-year-olds for Mr. Liu, don’t need anything fancy, just steam them for three hours, sprinkle some salt, and it’ll guarantee you’ll savor every bite."
President Kong said.
"Thank you very much, President Kong."
Once the two agreed, Bai Yutang exchanged a few more pleasantries with President Kong before ending the call.
"How did Master Bai come to know President Kong?"
Liu Zheng asked casually.
"Oh, once his crocodile herd had an outbreak, and he sought help from me."
Bai Yutang replied.
"You even treat crocodile ailments?"
He asked in surprise.
"Five Families Outside the Pass are human-monster hybrids, each family has some cases of severe atavism, so the Bai Family has always preserved veterinary practices. As family head, I naturally must be proficient."
