76: Chapter 76: Establishing the Monkey Cooking Squad and Sending a Water Buffalo!
An Ke didn't know what the tiger was planning to do.
She told him to wait here, but what was he waiting for?
Although he was curious, he didn't dwell on it.
Because of the Little Tiger, the tension between the two sides had eased, so no one would get hurt.
For An Ke, that was enough.
"Little guys, go down and play by yourselves." An Ke coaxed the two little ones to get off him.
After this period of growth, the Little Leopard had grown quite a bit.
He was a size larger than a normal cat.
The Little Tiger went without saying; although his size was similar to the Little Leopard's, he was undeniably fat.
He was even heavier than the Little Leopard.
Thanks to the significant increase in An Ke's Strength and Endurance Proficiency, he was able to hold them for so long.
Otherwise, a normal person would have been tired out in no time.
Having finally coaxed the two little guys down, An Ke suddenly felt relaxed, as light as a swallow.
"Little Scar!"
An Ke called Little Scar over while stretching his muscles.
Little Scar happened to run over and handed a peeled Mango to An Ke.
Although he didn't understand why An Ke liked eating unripe mango, he still peeled it for him.
An Ke immediately beamed with joy, "Thank you, Little Scar."
He took the unripe mango and rubbed Little Scar's head.
Little Scar, having received praise, was incredibly happy and looked at The monkeys with a proud and triumphant expression.
"Alright, alright, stop showing off."
An Ke tapped Little Scar and said,
"Ask your troop if there are two monkeys willing to learn how to cook."
An Ke planned to establish a Cooking Squad so that he wouldn't have to cook every day himself.
Now, under his training, the Monkey troop basically ate cooked food, and the Leopard mother and son would occasionally eat some as well.
Cooking for over a dozen individuals was truly exhausting for An Ke alone.
So, he planned to establish a Cooking Squad specifically for cooking.
An Ke felt that establishing a Cooking Squad wouldn't be very smooth because animals have an instinctive fear of fire.
Therefore, he planned to select them slowly through Little Scar.
He estimated it would be a long process, even though the Monkey troop now dared to move around near the Campfire.
However, getting them to approach the fire was still very difficult.
Yet, to An Ke's surprise, just after giving Little Scar this task,
It quickly brought over two monkeys.
In fact, almost all The monkeys wanted to learn cooking from An Ke.
Ultimately, Little Scar decided to choose two elderly monkeys.
This way, they wouldn't need to go out hunting or fighting, and they would have something to do.
An Ke was deeply moved; these monkeys were really becoming more and more like humans.
Little Scar's thinking was almost close to that of a human, considering matters from multiple perspectives.
He didn't make decisions impulsively.
"You two, come with me, and I'll teach you how to cook."
An Ke said politely to the two monkeys.
This left the two monkeys feeling flattered, and they followed respectfully behind An Ke.
Previously, An Ke thought The monkeys still feared fire in their hearts.
In reality, The monkeys had long since lost their fear of fire.
Of course! Sometimes they would still be afraid.
This was perfectly understandable; An Ke himself was sometimes afraid.
Over the next while, An Ke taught the two monkeys how to cook while preparing food for the animals.
Looking at the little beef remaining, An Ke couldn't help but click his tongue.
He had thought it would last at least a week.
Who would have thought that there wasn't much beef left.
"I must go out hunting this afternoon," An Ke calculated silently.
In the wild, food reserves are extremely important.
You can't wait until you're completely out of food to go hunting.
After all, in nature, you never know when you'll be able to catch prey.
It's possible you won't catch anything for several days.
Lunch was naturally centered around beef, supplemented by seafood.
For dessert, in addition to the usual bananas, there were also mangoes.
All the animals present, as well as An Ke, ate with great relish, their bellies becoming round and full.
An Ke couldn't help but wonder if the contestants from other countries saw this,
What would they think?
What An Ke didn't know was that many survival contestants had returned to square one overnight.
They were still suffering from hunger and cold.
Otherwise, Fu Er wouldn't have risked invading An Ke's Camp.
After the meal, An Ke rested against the Leopard.
Meanwhile, the Monkey troop organized the mangoes they had brought back.
At the same time, under An Ke's arrangement, they also collected the Mango pits and then loosened the soil in the clearing next to the Camp.
Rather than running far away to pick fruit, it was better to grow it themselves.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to have an Orchard of one's own?
While loosening the soil, the Little Leopard and Little Tiger also participated with great interest.
Digging holes is a specialty for felines.
Their efficiency in loosening the soil was at least two or three times that of The monkeys.
Because the two little guys got competitive midway and started racing each other, the soil-loosening speed became even faster.
This gave An Ke and the viewers in the live broadcast room a good laugh.
After the animals finished loosening the soil according to An Ke's requirements,
An Ke personally planted the collected Mango pits into the soil and gave them a casual watering.
Looking at his Orchard, An Ke was lost in thought.
The beasts in the National Fortune Game have all become more ferocious, so will the growth rate of plants be faster as well?
Could what originally took several years to grow be shortened to one year, or even a few months or weeks?
An Ke's eyes flashed with anticipation.
This way, if he occasionally wanted to eat a Mango, he wouldn't need to travel far to pick them.
In the live broadcast room, the Dragon Country Masses were equally full of expectation.
Seeing An Ke's situation getting better and better, their moods also improved.
After all, An Ke carried the national fortune of Dragon Country for the next hundred years on his shoulders.
"By the way, did the big tiger abandon her cub?"
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. Where did the big tiger go after she left just now?"
"She's got a big heart to just leave the Little Tiger here."
"Does the person above know how to talk? This clearly shows her trust in Boss An!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
"This is a good thing for Boss An; he doesn't have to worry about a threat from the tiger."
"I hope Boss An can tame the tiger as soon as possible..."
"How could it be that simple? A tiger is much harder to tame than a Leopard."
"I think the final result will just be both sides drawing a line and not interfering with each other."
"..."
And just as everyone in the live broadcast room was discussing the tiger,
The tiger, who had been gone for a long time, finally returned.
The live broadcast room suddenly boiled over.
"The tiger is back!"
"What is she dragging?"
"It's a Water Buffalo!"
"..."
In the live broadcast, An Ke also saw the tiger bring back a large Water Buffalo.
She placed the Water Buffalo in front of An Ke and said:
"Give my child more meat to eat."
"Whatever he leaves over belongs to all of you."
An Ke laughed. Why was she using the same routine as the Leopard?
He pointed to the Little Tiger in the Camp: "Do you think your child can still eat?"
The tiger looked over and saw the Little Tiger with a bulging belly.
Having eaten and drunk his fill, he was currently fast asleep.
Furthermore, he was sleeping splayed out on his back without the slightest bit of vigilance.
Tiger Mom's face was instantly lined with exasperation. This brat... he hadn't listened to a single word of what she usually taught him.
If he were alone in the wild in the future, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.
Tiger Mom could only say helplessly: "Since that's the case, then this buffalo is a gift for you."
Just as she finished speaking, the [National Fortune Game] announcement rang out:
[Dragon Country Player Number One has met the conditions for Thousand Times Materialization of water buffaloes!]
[Dragon Country materializes 1,000 water buffaloes!]
