Chapter 32 Sharpen your sword and keep it from chopping wood
Ouch~!
Back with his mother, Tiger Brother had already eaten his fill and was howling at Cangnian with a mixture of eagerness and confusion.
Why give such delicious meat to that little thing!
Tiger Brother was very dissatisfied.
The little sable has been mocking the two brothers for a long time!
How could we aid the enemy like this?
"Ow~!"
Cang Nian forcefully patted Hu Di's head.
Be nicer to the little sable from now on! Don't hurt it!
Huh~?
Tiger Brother was even more puzzled and kept asking Cangnian.
But Cangnian didn't explain. Instead, he took a walk to digest his food and prepared to test how much his jogging speed had improved.
It wasn't that Cangnian didn't want to explain, but rather that Hudi's little brain couldn't easily comprehend such a complex matter.
Today, I was ambushed by a Siberian leopard. If it weren't for the little sable's early warning, which alerted me to the leopard's approach, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Given the other party's stealth skills, without external interference, they could easily sneak within twenty meters of you without you even noticing.
And considering the explosive speed of the Amur leopard when hunting sika deer...
One second!
In just one second, it can bite its own throat, and with its strength, a bite is tantamount to death.
Although he didn't know why Little Sable, who used to act so cheeky and mock the two brothers every day, had changed his ways today and was giving them a warning.
But since it did that, it was a genuine act of saving a life.
Even a drop of kindness deserves a spring of gratitude in return. To not show any appreciation for a life-saving favor would be worse than being a pig or a dog!
That's why Cangnian gave a portion of the evolved meat, which should have been beneficial to the little sable, to him.
Given the size of the recipient, half a pound might not be enough for one meal, but when it comes to gifts, more is better than less. After all, even a tiger mom might not be able to finish a Siberian leopard, so it's a waste to give it to someone else.
As for Tiger Brother, he hadn't even seen the Siberian leopard yet, and was already so angry with the little sable that he climbed up a tree.
By the time he let it climb uphill with its head down and saw the Amur leopard, the leopard was already dead.
Therefore, with most of the information missing, Tiger Brother's little brain couldn't connect the little sable with the "life-saving grace".
No matter how much you explain, Tiger Brother might not understand, so it's better to just command him not to hurt the little sable.
I'll explain it to it when it's smarter.
After learning about evolution, Cangnian realized that although he thought Tiger Brother was stupid and dull, in reality, at the age of sixteen days old, Tiger Brother was already extremely intelligent!
Therefore, Cang Nian speculates that evolution may also improve the intelligence of animals. Perhaps one day, Tiger Brother's intelligence will be comparable to that of humans?
"Ow~!"
Stop thinking about it and Cangnian glanced back at Tiger Brother, urging it to start running and exercising!
Cang Nian himself, however, moved with incredible speed and agility, and in an instant, he darted away!
As expected, with the climbing skill evolving into Ascent, the jumping skill evolving into Leap, the claw skill evolving into Claw Strike, and the newly unlocked Killing skill evolving into Slaughter, my physical abilities have improved dramatically!
Cang Nian felt as if he were riding on a gentle breeze, moving at great speed!
Moreover, as he ran, Cang Nian could feel his stomach heating up, and nutrients were being continuously delivered to his limbs and bones, sustaining his continuous running!
[Ding! Jogging 1000m, jogging skill proficiency +1! (23/100)]
In less than twenty minutes, Cang Nian had run one kilometer!
You should know that a few days ago, he ran a kilometer, which took him nearly two hours, and he could only accumulate six or seven levels of proficiency in a day!
But now, it's done in less than twenty minutes!
This speed is more than five times that of a few days ago!
Most amazingly, after running 1,000 meters, he still had energy left and didn't feel hungry at all.
"Twenty minutes is enough to level up one skill level. Including rest, thirty times a day is a bit much, but twenty-five times should be no problem. At this rate, I can evolve my jogging skill in three days!"
Although he knew that his physical abilities were now vastly different after multiple skill evolutions, Cangnian was still overjoyed by the speed he achieved.
His original plan was to wait at least a full month before he could max out the skill proficiency.
But now, this goal can be achieved in less than twenty days after birth!
"As expected, sharpening the axe doesn't delay the work of chopping wood. I haven't been jogging these past few days, but it has allowed several other related skills to evolve and my physical condition to improve. This is how I was able to overtake others compared to the previous plan."
Cang Nian thought to himself with a sense of relief.
If you're still just blindly running, you definitely won't be able to max out your jogging skill proficiency so quickly.
Of course, more importantly, if I hadn't first evolved my climbing skills into ascent, I would have had nowhere to escape if I had encountered the Siberian leopard today.
"It seems that we need to develop in a balanced way in the future. We must not have any weaknesses in the important skills. By advancing in all aspects, we can motivate each other and improve our proficiency quickly!"
Cang Nian nodded secretly.
After resting for a while, Cang Nian continued jogging.
Cang Nian didn't stop running until noon when the sun was at its highest, and his jogging skill proficiency had reached level 30.
Only then did Cang Nian realize that there was still a lot of meat left on the Amur leopard's carcass that hadn't been eaten.
Tiger Mom, on the other hand, stood guard beside the corpse, shooing away the flies that were drawn by the smell.
"It looks like this evolved meat is more filling than regular meat. I ran seven kilometers and wasn't hungry at all. The tiger mom didn't have much left after eating that sika deer, but this leopard left so much!"
Cang Nian pondered to himself.
"Huh? This meat... doesn't seem to show any signs of spoilage... It's been almost three hours, and it's already the hottest time of the day. Is it possible that evolved meat is less prone to spoilage?"
However, looking at the carcass of the Amur leopard, Cang Nian frowned, sensing that something was amiss, and began to speculate.
However, this is good news.
At least, once I get a little hungrier, I can have another meal!
"By the way, my milk-drinking skill is still a little short of being fully proficient, but my meat-eating skill has already been unlocked. Aren't they on the same skill chain?"
Wait, my digestive skill hasn't evolved yet, so the digestion process for evolved meat is very slow. Should I max out my milk-drinking skill first, so both skills evolve simultaneously, to digest meat faster?
A flash of inspiration struck Cang Nian.
Without thinking, Cang Nian trotted over to Tiger Mom, opened his mouth, picked up the "nipple," and began to suckle vigorously.
The evolved meat is dense and small in size, but it gives Cang Nian a feeling of fullness.
So, his stomach still has room for tiger milk, but his body instinctively can't handle it.
It took almost two hours of dawdling before Cangnian finally drank the last 1500ml of milk.
[Ding! 500ml of milk consumed, milk drinking skill proficiency +1! (100/100)]
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your milk-drinking skill has reached maximum proficiency. This skill has evolved into—eating meat!]
After a while, his digestive skills also evolved in tandem. Although the name remained the same, the improvement he received made Cang Nian's bloated abdomen feel much better instantly.
