Apocalypse: My Apartment Has Traits

Chapter 190: Chapter 161: News of Yi Ren

Inside the Su Family’s Old Mansion, aside from the young Su Yingying, the three adults had already risen.

The trio was enjoying breakfast, the strange aroma of Treasure Meat wafting through the room.

As Chen Xinting stepped through the door, his nose couldn’t help but twitch twice, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he discreetly made a swallowing motion.

From his seat, Su Can swallowed the Treasure Meat in his mouth, his face slightly flushed. After taking a moment to absorb the meat’s vitality completely, he raised his eyes to greet him:

“So early? Come sit, have you eaten?”

With this traditional courtesy, even on an empty stomach, Chen Xinting could only reply with a sheepish smile:

“I have eaten.”

Following his words, he sat down, without further ado, untied the large bundle on his back and placed it on the table.

As the knot was untied, the fabric slipped off, instantly overshadowing the room’s existing meaty aroma with a more domineering, blood-pumping scent. As the fabric was lifted, it even flashed a fleeting glimmer!

A piece of sparkling, nearly top-grade pigeon blood red gemstone-like meat was revealed to all.

Su Can suddenly found the Tier One Treasure Meat in his bowl flavorless.

Chen Xinting spoke in a low voice:

“Old Sir, this is the agreed reward. Genuine Tier Two Treasure Meat. If you doubt it, you can use the House Title Deed to verify.”

“No need, I trust you.”

Having seen Tier Two Treasure Meat before, Su Can could instantly discern its authenticity. The bone-deep scent, awakening evolutionary instincts, was impossible to fake.

Beside him, Su Qi’s eyes gleamed brightly.

Half a piece of Tier Two Treasure Meat!

Although his nephew’s family had a Smoked Meat Room, with meat currently being smoked, the Tier Two Treasure Meat’s value to the Su Family had slightly decreased.

But the Smoked Meat Room would need half a month to produce two pieces of Tier Two Treasure Meat.

It takes two weeks for the Smoked Meat Room to smoke two pieces of Tier Two Treasure Meat.

That’s only four pieces in a month.

In times of turmoil, acquiring this half-piece of Tier Two Treasure Meat adds confidence to the Su Family.

…

Yesterday, they hunted down the Black Tide Lord of Sanming and Qingxi villages, obtaining as many as eight pieces of Treasure Meat.

Along with the four pieces of Treasure Meat from hunting the lord in their village,

the Wuyin Village now has a total of twelve stored Treasure Meat!!

This was unimaginable for Wuyin Village, which had been so poor before!

To boost overall combat strength and make up for losses in the Lord’s battle, Su Can decisively ordered to allocate four pieces of Treasure Meat to the whole village, without worrying about waste, to face the upcoming Night of Survival.

This is the meat broth of Treasure Meat!

Ordinary people with normal roots just need to understand the Breathing Technique, drink a spoonful, and they can unlock Skin Lock!

Under Flesh Lock, drinking a spoonful of broth can also increase their Qi and Blood by a few percent!

In just two days, these four pieces of Treasure Meat could elevate the strength of the village’s martial artists by a level!

The number of Flesh Lock Martial Artists was also replenished.

Now, the Hunting Group’s three teams have reached eighty Flesh Lock Martial Artists.

As the noble young master of the Su Family and one of the strongest in the village, Su Lin naturally received better treatment than ordinary villagers.

In the past two days, he never strayed from Treasure Meat during meals.

As his strength increased, so did his appetite.

If he let himself go, he could consume up to ten pounds in a single feast!

A complete piece of Treasure Meat weighs eighty to a hundred pounds.

In the previous two days, because Treasure Meat needed to be prioritized for boosting the village, he had to restrain himself, only eating about five pounds per meal.

Until they acquired eight new pieces of Treasure Meat yesterday, only then could he let loose his appetite, devouring with all his might, pushing forth the slowly advancing Qi and Blood like a lazy turtle.

After a hearty breakfast this morning, his Qi and Blood, which had been at twenty percent of Tendon Lock two days ago, was now approaching the fifty percent threshold.

As long as the supply of Treasure Meat continued, he would quickly fill his Qi and Blood, aiming for the breakthrough in First Transformation.

“Alas.” Su Lin put down his bowl and chopsticks, slightly resigned, “Once tasted the flavor of Tier Two Treasure Meat, this Tier One is somewhat lacking.”

The Qi and Blood in one percent of Tendon Lock compared to fifty percent of Flesh Lock is much greater, naturally slower to improve.

The same amount of Tier Two Treasure Meat could sharply increase his Qi and Blood by ten percent and further boost it by another five percent after complete digestion.

While Tier One Treasure Meat barely raises ten percent over three meals.

The difference is stark.

When he fully charges his Qi and Blood, preparing to assault Bone Lock, the amount of Treasure Meat needed would be astonishing.

The elder with decent roots needed four pieces to break through First Transformation.

Su Lin estimates he might need seven or eight.

Those with poor roots see resource consumption as a bottomless pit.

“Luckily, this time the cavity opened, delivering unimaginable wealth to the Su Family.”

Su Lin calculated privately.

“Three villages, twelve pieces of Treasure Meat, when Quanzhou Village and Xinlong Village agree, we’ll have twenty pieces of Tier One Treasure Meat. Plus, the promised half-piece of Tier Two Treasure Meat from Lanfeng Village. With a bit of persuasion, the benefits can increase further.”

Extorting is effortless; Su Lin valued the Treasure Meat from hunting lords more.

If he could become a First-Transformed Martial Artist, along with Tap Dance and Divine Speed, he reckoned that even in barren Town Level wilderness, he wouldn’t be weak.

At least in the wilderness, if he can’t defeat Town Level mutant beasts, he can still escape.

After breakfast, using the Dawn Breathing Technique to thoroughly digest the Treasure Meat’s active factors, Su Lin checked the time, then headed with Su Tongxi and Song Yiyi to the Su Family’s Old Mansion.

After learning Chen Xinting had delivered Tier Two Treasure Meat, they didn’t delay further. The group immediately set off to Lanfeng Village.

Time was tight, apart from Lanfeng Village, Quanzhou Village and Xinlong Village might also need their help to hunt down the lord.

…

The leaden gray sky hung low, the morning wind brisk, carrying moisture, the road to Lanfeng Village wasn’t very dusty.

During the journey, Su Lin keenly noticed Chen Xinting’s frequent glances towards Song Yiyi, carrying a subtle hint of inquiry.

His brows furrowed slightly, he straightforwardly said:

“Leader Chen, I don’t particularly like people staring at my woman.”

Upon hearing this, Song Yiyi’s eyes sparkled instantly, her lips curving into a sweet smile, intimately wrapping her arm around Su Lin’s.

“I… this…” Chen Xinting was startled, somewhat at a loss for words.

Su Can also felt curious:

“Chen Xinting, I recall you aren’t one to lust after women, why do you keep staring at my granddaughter-in-law?”

“I was just…” Chen Xinting hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping.

Su Lin noticed his unusual expression, not seeming infatuated, suddenly recalling Song Yiyi’s mysterious twin sister, he sparked a thought:

“You know Song Yiren?”

“…” Chen Xinting remained silent for a moment, sighed, “Yes, I do indeed know that lady.”

“Lady?” Su Lin’s gaze suddenly sharpened, staring at him, “You know Song Yiren’s identity?”

Song Yiyi was even more anxious:

“Do you know where my sister is? How is she?”

Chen Xinting’s face revealed bitterness:

“Please, don’t trouble me. I’m such a small character, my knowledge is very limited.”

“Just tell us what you know.”

Su Lin didn’t expect that Chen Xinting seemed to have some connection with Song Yiren.

Addressing her as a lady?

’Wait! Lanfeng Village, Lanfeng Town…’

Su Lin’s expression suddenly turned peculiar as he said:

“Your Lanfeng Village isn’t related to Lanfeng Town, is it?”
