Chapter 229: Chapter 228 Nutritional Meal

Taking a taxi to the busiest commercial street in Yundu City, the lively streets were bustling with people coming and going, completely unaffected by the cold weather.

The reason Shao Zifeng chose to come here was that on his way to the flower, bird, and fish market, he suddenly remembered something.

It seems like he might have probably, almost certainly, apparently…

Forgotten about the newborn Mirage Beibei?

Fearful of starving the little guy, Shao Zifeng hastily asked the driver to turn around and head to the city’s most bustling commercial street.

“Welcome, what do you need?”

As soon as he pushed open the glass door, a soft warmth hit him, and a sweet female voice timely rang out in his ear, with a faint fragrance permeating the air.

When Shao Zifeng shopped, he actually found it quite annoying to have salespeople babbling in his ear. He signaled to the staff that he would look around on his own, then headed straight for the energy potion section.

Wood attribute.

Yes, after Lingling and the deer evolved, the current energy potions were no longer suitable for them; they needed to be upgraded to level four potions.

Dark attribute.

No need for that…

Fire attribute.

Chen Yixing had prepared plenty of that, no need either…

Within the energy potion section, Shao Zifeng browsed row after row of shelves, noting that while there was an ample supply of water attribute potions, dragon and illusion attribute potions were both marked as out of stock.

Not just dragon and illusion, but he also noticed that other rare attributes were in a similar situation, either out of stock or lacking in the full range of quality.

Now Shao Zifeng was in a bit of a pickle. Although water attribute potions could be used, he didn’t know if continuously giving it water attribute energy potions could lead to symptoms like malnutrition or attribute imbalance.

The fear was that if it developed strong water attribute abilities and the illusion and dragon attributes got wasted, that would be too much of a pity.

No, he had to think of a solution; he couldn’t let the child fall behind right from the starting line.

Leaving the energy potion section, Shao Zifeng approached the front desk, “Hello, I’m wondering if those rarer attribute potions are just temporarily out of stock or…”

“Hello, sir,” the receptionist was surprised to see Shao Zifeng then, seeing his slight frown, she quickly explained, “It’s like this, the allocation of each type of energy potion takes into consideration the comprehensive sales volume in the region. Since there isn’t a very high demand for rare attribute potions in the Yundu Region, each shipment is relatively small.”

“Some extremely rare attribute potions have never even been distributed here.”

“I see.”

Shao Zifeng felt a headache coming on; energy potions had shelf lives, and both dragon and illusion were extremely rare attributes. Distributing them rashly could end in them not selling and therefore going to waste.

In that case, he might have to wait and try his luck at the underground platform in the evening.

He took out his Combat Training Master ID and scanned it at the front desk, just as he was about to pay and leave, the staff member suddenly spoke up, “Sir, although we don’t have the energy potions, we do have a good supply of pet food for various attributes. If you can find a nutritionist…”

Shao Zifeng’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Right, how could he have forgotten about that?

It is said that specialized nutrition meals are not much less effective than energy potions, and there are also those kinds of preserved dry food.

Thinking of this, Shao Zifeng quickly called the team’s nutritionist for a consultation about the nutrition meals. Only then did he learn that the ingredients provided by the school were allocated based on the attributes of the registered pet beasts. If Shao Zifeng wanted to prepare meals for other attributes, he would have to buy the ingredients himself.

As for the preserved dry food, it indeed existed, but a large amount of energy would be lost during the baking process, and the effect was not very good.

After getting a definite answer, he also asked about the ingredients needed for the dragon and mirage universal meal set.

After hanging up the phone, Shao Zifeng looked at the pet supplies store spanning hundreds of square meters and suddenly felt that having a sales assistant was quite nice.

…

“Welcome to visit again~”

Accompanied by the sweet send-off from the staff, Shao Zifeng left the pet supplies store carrying several full shopping bags – of course, most of them were for making dry food for Qiuqiu.

Qiuqiu, that little guy, had only eaten barbecue with him once when it was younger; after that, its main diet besides energy potions were snacks. This time, taking advantage of the school’s nutritionist, he decided to properly prepare some snacks for it.

After delivering the ingredients to Yundu Hotel, he took a trip to the flower, bird, and fish market of Yundu City.

Unlike the old and rundown market in Su City, the one in Yundu City was much larger and cleaner in both scale and environment, which further highlighted the desolation of Su City.

The ground was dry and clean, and there wasn’t a particularly pungent smell in the air. Of course, with so many animals mixed together, the scent was not particularly pleasant either.

Walking into the market, what caught his eye were the aquatic animal stalls laid out along the pathway. These informal stalls mostly sold goldfish and koi that had been culled. These specially bred ornamental fish had even more serious genetic defects than the pet snakes he used to raise.

Moving past the goldfish stalls, he began to see Brazilian turtles, Chinese grass turtles, wild softshell turtles, and Chinese siren salamanders, which looked like geckos.

Since that incident with the deer, the enhanced external device had greatly sped up his ability to observe mutant creatures. After briefly looking at some turtle data, he was about to leave when a tiny Chinese grass turtle caught his attention.

“Eh?”

Shao Zifeng stopped in his tracks and approached the turtle stall. On the ground were a dozen or so rectangular white plastic basins, each containing a number of turtles according to their size, with the largest one placed alone in a basin.

The screen information Shao Zifeng had accidentally seen earlier was hidden among the Chinese grass turtles in the plastic basin with the most turtles. He squatted down and started searching carefully.

Chinese grass turtles are relatively common pet turtles with an elongated oval body, a slightly raised carapace, and three longitudinal crests.

The turtle’s head is black olive in color with smooth skin at the front and fine scales at the back.

He found it!

Shao Zifeng reached out his hand, and the little Chinese grass turtle, frightened, quickly retracted into its shell, its two protruding little eyes stealthily sizing him up.

“Boss, which one are you interested in? Not to boast, but our grass turtles are the purest breed. I personally catch them from the big rivers,” said the vendor, turning around with a hearty smile, trying to entice Shao Zifeng after having a chat with the auntie next door.

The vendor looked to be in his seventies or eighties, his face covered in wrinkles, and he smiled with only three teeth left in his mouth. He was dressed in a blue coarse cotton-padded jacket, stained with greasy dark spots everywhere, appearing as though it hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. His hands, which he held a dry tobacco pipe in, were like that of an orange peel, with fingernails stained yellow from the smoke.

If it weren’t for his age as an excuse, Shao Zifeng would have almost believed his tall tales. He glanced around casually and finally pointed at the little turtle he had taken a fancy to and asked, “How much for this one?”

The old man looked at the turtle Shao Zifeng was pointing at, and his smile suddenly froze. Chinese grass turtles were priced based on age and appearance, and the one he had chosen was the smallest and least appealing.

The old man sucked on his dry tobacco pipe a few times, then after a moment, said with a serious face, “Give me 10 yuan for it.”
