Gourmet Hunter - Chapter 207

Chapter 207: Secrets and Small Progress

The long-haired, uniformed beauty is Biscuit Krueger's Nen beast, named Cookie. She can transform aura into a special liquid that, when applied to the skin, can rejuvenate and beautify.

This liquid is a Transmuter ability, which Biscuit developed in her category for non-combat purposes.

Not only is the liquid miraculous, but Ms. Cookie is also proficient in various professional massage techniques, transporting one's body and mind to a state of bliss. Additionally, she possesses a skill called "Peachy Breath," which can eliminate fatigue.

With such diverse abilities, Ms. Cookie is truly a master among technicians!

For Biscuit, this is the most convenient and useful ability in the world.

In short, the usefulness of Nen depends solely on the needs of its user.

Under Biscuit's direction, Ms. Cookie does not mind the dried mud on Luo's body, extending her porcelain-like delicate hands to efficiently provide a massage known colloquially as "deep tissue massage."

Afterwards, Ms. Cookie raises her hands, and the aura transforms into shimmering peach-colored powder, like falling cherry blossoms, silently entering Luo's body.

This is the Peachy Breath, which can make thirty minutes of rest equivalent to eight hours of sleep, while the "deep tissue massage" massage relieves Luo of soreness in various parts of his body.

The combination of these two abilities ensures that Luo wakes up in optimal condition to continue his training the next day.

Without Ms. Cookie, Luo would need at least a week to recover, but with her, a good night's sleep tonight means he will be in excellent condition tomorrow morning.

Biscuit has set such a high starting point for Luo's initial training phase because she has the confidence to back it up.

Training the body and tempering the will must go hand in hand.

After completing her task, Ms. Cookie reverts to aura and returns to Biscuit's body, while Luo enjoys the "deep tissue massage" massage in an unconscious state, his tense facial muscles gradually relaxing.

Witnessing Ms. Cookie's abilities, Sanbica Norton looks at Biscuit with a curious expression.

Noticing Sanbica's gaze, Biscuit slightly squints her eyes, sizing up Sanbica's body, and with a flick of her fingers, she asks, "Would you like to try the "deep tissue massage" too?"

Sanbica quickly shakes her head and steps back several paces.

Seeing Sanbica's reaction, Biscuit laments, "For the women of the world, this is the best ability."

"..." Sanbica.

The next morning.

Luo opens his eyes, greeted by branches bathed in morning light.

"My body feels so light; could it be effective in just one day? And though I went to sleep sore last night, now..."

Luo murmurs to himself, thinking the day's training had already produced great results, and feels highly motivated.

He abruptly sits up, only to awkwardly realize that his weights have been removed and set aside, no wonder he feels lighter.

"Put on your weights and come here," Biscuit's voice drifts over.

Luo looks in the direction of the voice and sees Biscuit roasting a whole pig early in the morning. He sniffs and detects a mild burnt scent.

He quickly puts on his weights and approaches Biscuit, observing the pig on the spit over the fire, its snout more prominent than a rhino's horn, almost cooked, though slightly charred in a few places.

This is a Rhino Horn Pig from the Piscar Forest Park, a D-grade ingredient that becomes a fine dish if cooked correctly, even without seasoning.

Smelling the enticing aroma of the meat, Luo's stomach suddenly rumbles.

Biscuit glances at him and says, "Eat, then rest for ten minutes before you start training."

"Okay."

Luo nods, his hungry stomach soon devouring most of the Rhino Horn Pig, its meat quickly digesting inside him.

Biscuit and Sanbica have already had their breakfast; this Rhino Horn Pig was prepared for Luo.

To make the most of time, food management is Biscuit's responsibility, ensuring Luo can eat immediately upon waking, then quickly start his training.

"Despite some flaws, the cooking is masterfully controlled."

After tasting the roasted pork, Luo is surprised by Biscuit's skill at roasting a whole pig, which isn't odd upon reflection.

Hunters often go to many desolate and dangerous places, solving their daily meals by catching game and then roasting it over a fire, such skill is not surprising.

"This is a D-grade Rhino Horn Pig, but my stats didn't increase at all."

Luo notices this issue while eating the whole pig, but he doesn't have the time to explore further, resting only ten minutes before continuing his training.

Today's training schedule is

 the same as yesterday's, walking from the small forest to the place he arrived at and then resting for an hour before walking back to the small forest.

Luo, carrying his weights, steps into the muddy ground and finds it just as challenging as yesterday, expecting it to take a long time to see results.

This time, Biscuit and Sanbica don't accompany Luo, the two locations being only 15 kilometers apart.

While Luo is training, Sanbica isn't idle either; she catches several creatures in the Milsy Wetlands and then returns to the small forest to study them.

She places creatures like toads and giant bugs on a rock and begins to analyze them using her Nen abilities, trying to identify any viruses or bacteria they might carry.

Her ability focuses on viruses, but by understanding bacteria, she can use existing viral foundations to create targeted bacteriophages, then use these bacteriophages to consume bacteria for treatment.

Meanwhile, Biscuit sits in a tree, watching Luo's staggering steps.

"It takes nearly eight hours to walk 15 kilometers, and it will take a month to reduce that time to one hour, after which the weight will increase to 300 kilograms." Biscuit ponders when to change the training regimen.

She suddenly looks down at Sanbica, analyzing the strange creatures, and says, "Your body is weaker than Luo's; you should strengthen it too."

Sanbica withdraws her aura from a green toad and whispers, "My body is a bit special; I can't strengthen it through training."

As she says this, she inexplicably thinks of her father and the research institute he's associated with.

Hearing Sanbica's words, Biscuit is surprised; a human body can unearth potential through exercise, each solid step continuously strengthening the body until it reaches its peak.

Because her body is more special than average, it can't be strengthened through exercise?

Biscuit thinks for a moment but decides not to delve into Sanbica's secrets and does not pursue the matter further.

Day turns to night, and by 10 p.m., Luo finally returns to the small forest, where Biscuit has prepared another whole roasted pig for him.

Afterward, Luo does five hundred push-ups, and unlike last night, he doesn't fall asleep exhausted, showing a slight improvement.

Such training will continue for a month or even longer.
