98: Areno's Awakening

Soon, Areino completed her task of feeding the young tigers for the day.

After herding all the young tigers into their dorms and turning off the lights in the room, she chose to leave.

Unbeknownst to her, an almost invisible figure, accompanying the closing door, walked out with her.

Without a doubt, this was Lin Tianwei, once again preparing to go out foraging.

He looked ahead.

Lin Tianwei's excellent eyesight allowed him to easily pierce through hundreds of meters and spot the Giant Panda confined behind the iron fence.

Perhaps Lin Tianwei's herbal mud had taken effect.

Perhaps it was not destined to die.

At this moment, it had barely recovered.

It was gnawing on some yellowed, not green, bamboo.

Although its expression was pained, this was the only food it could eat, and it had no choice but to consume it.

Seeing this, Lin Tianwei also let out a sigh of relief.

At least the Giant Panda was still alive.

As long as it was alive, there was still hope.

The slaughterhouse did not seem to be open at night.

Not only were the lights off, but a large lock hung on the door, attempting to keep Lin Tianwei out.

Unfortunately, such a petty trick could not stop Lin Tianwei at all.

A straight wall?

It seemed to offer no leverage, but for Lin Tianwei, who possessed the Talent for climbing, it was as easy as walking on flat ground.

Soon, he climbed onto the slaughterhouse wall.

Following his senses, he found a slightly ajar window.

With just a slight push, he opened the window and flexibly slipped inside.

To save money, the slaughterhouse did not activate its surveillance after closing hours.

This made things much more convenient for Lin Tianwei.

Following his senses, Lin Tianwei quickly arrived in front of the pile of white cut chicken.

The small mountain, originally over two meters high, was now more than half gone.

Only flies were still feasting.

They were frantically sucking the blood and flesh of the white cut chicken.

Lin Tianwei was not polite; he swept his tiger tail, driving away the surrounding flies.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a new target."

"Ding, Talent extraction successful. The host has obtained the Talent: Compound Eyes (Normal)."

"Ding, please confirm whether the host wishes to use this Talent."

"Compound Eyes (Normal): Normal-grade Talent, a special eye structure that can greatly enhance the host's vision."

Lin Tianwei's tiger tail contained immense power.

Any fly hit by it would instantly die.

Not only that, but it also dropped a Talent for Lin Tianwei.

It was somewhat useful, but not very useful.

The most important thing was that the unique structure of compound eyes would definitely draw human attention to Lin Tianwei.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei put this Talent into his warehouse.

In the future.

Perhaps there would be a day when it would be useful.

Sensing Lin Tianwei's familiar attack, these flies scattered in a panic.

Instantly, they left a vacuum zone around Lin Tianwei.

Without hesitation, Lin Tianwei opened his mouth wide and began to enjoy his dinner for the day.

He would be sleepless tonight, and he had plenty of time to devour a large amount of food.

However, the moment the first mouthful of minced meat entered his mouth, Lin Tianwei frowned.

The taste of this chicken seemed off.

It was clearly somewhat spoiled, and even the smell had turned sour.

It greatly affected the taste of the chicken.

Fortunately.

This slight spoilage was no match for Lin Tianwei's powerful digestive system.

It could only involuntarily transform into Energy, beginning to nourish Lin Tianwei's body.

Soon.

One white cut chicken had completely entered Lin Tianwei's stomach.

This time, he only ate until he was half full.

Without a doubt, his growing body required more Energy.

Without hesitation, Lin Tianwei began to eat again, and before long, a second white cut chicken entered his stomach.

Then.

He was hungry again.

His terrifying digestive ability meant that by the time he ate the second white cut chicken, he had already completely digested the first one.

It had clearly formed a cycle of infinite eating.

His seemingly small body could eat far more food than its own weight.

One, two, ..., nineteen!

Only after eating nineteen white cut chickens did Lin Tianwei's stomach feel somewhat full.

His originally lean body visibly swelled.

That was excess nutrients, under the effect of the Energy Storage Talent, directly converting into high-Energy nutritional substances.

They began to accumulate in his small body.

These nutrients would become an important Energy source for Lin Tianwei's growth or combat.

Under the moonlight, Lin Tianwei left the slaughterhouse.

Only the white cut chicken, a small portion of which had disappeared, proved he had been there.

—

The next day, the sun was bright.

Despite eating all night, Lin Tianwei's body was still the same.

It was only slightly fatter.

There was basically no abnormality to be seen.

Under Lin Tianwei's intentional control, most of the Energy gained from eating was stored by him.

It was waiting for the critical moment to be directly used.

It would instantly transform into the Energy that could allow him to grow rapidly.

Clang.

With the sound of a lock opening, the door to the tiger nursery was pushed open by Areino.

Carrying a basket full of milk bottles on her back, she prepared to start the day's feeding.

Placing the basket on the ground, Areino did not hesitate; she picked up a bottle of milk and began to drink it.

She had woken up late today and hadn't had time to eat breakfast.

It was a good opportunity to 'shear the wool' of these young tigers, drinking their milk as her own breakfast.

Anyway, these little beasts wouldn't starve if they missed one meal.

But if she didn't eat breakfast, she would be very hungry.

Thinking of this, after finishing one bottle of milk, she drank another.

Only after drinking three bottles of milk did she let out a satisfied sigh.

Watching Areino 'snatching food from the tiger's mouth' before him, Lin Tianwei was furious.

If he hadn't seen wrong, one of those milk bottles belonged to him.

In other words, this stupid little dark-skinned woman had drunk his breakfast.

New hatred added to old.

This time, Lin Tianwei was not going to let her off the hook.

Since she dared to provoke a tiger, she would pay with her life.

However, just as Lin Tianwei was about to make a move in secret, he noticed that Areino suddenly widened her eyes.

She writhed in pain on the ground.

It was as if some very serious illness had suddenly flared up at that moment.

Indeed, the heavens punish the wicked!

Just as Lin Tianwei was hesitating whether to deliver the finishing blow, he noticed that with a few short breaths, Areino actually recovered.

Although it was less than half a minute, Areino looked as if she had undergone some kind of torture, covered in sweat.

Her clothes were completely soaked.

Just then, Lin Tianwei heard Areino's cursing voice: "Hungry? Hungry? Hungry?"

"Hungry for what!"

"You little things, all you do all day is make a racket, it's so annoying."

These young tigers were not fools; the moment they saw Areino, they surrounded her.

Because they knew that this two-legged beast represented food.

However, Areino immediately reacted, saying in horror: "How is this possible?"

"How could you little guys speak human language in our ears?"
