Keastin immediately said with a smile on his face.
âSorry to keep you waiting.â
âNo problem, is this money enough?â
âIf you want ordinary meat, itâs certainly enough.
But if you want better quality, itâs still a little short.â
âI want the good stuff, money is not an issue.â
Su Ming replied indifferently.
Beside him, Fia, hearing Su Mingâs words, looked at him with eyes full of admiration.
âLord Su Ming, is it really okay to spend so much?â
Novlin spoke somewhat apologetically.
âThereâs nothing wrong with it.â
Su Ming waved his hand and said.
âNovlin, donât be so formal with him.
When did you find such a rich and handsome boyfriend?
Good choice!â
Keastin said cheerfully.
âDonât talk nonsense, weâre not boyfriend and girlfriend.â
Novlin was taken aback, too, glancing back at Su Ming.
It was then that she noticed Su Ming was indeed quite handsome and had an exceptional demeanor.
âAlright, Iâll stop.
But come with me, Iâll take you to the farm.â
Keastin continued cheerfully.
âGreat!â
Su Ming and Novlin nodded in agreement.
The three of them then followed Keastin out of the shop and headed towards the farm.
About twenty minutes later, Keastin led Su Ming and Novlin to a large farm built with simple sheet metal.
Before even entering the gate, Su Ming smelled a strong stench wafting towards him.
âCome in with me.
I donât usually bring people here.â
Keastin said while leading them into the farm.
Upon entering the farm, they faced several huge iron cages, each imprisoning a creature three meters tall, covered with coarse gray sharp fur, with long pig snouts, blood-red eyes, and two protruding fangs.
âBlackhearted pigs!â
Su Ming exclaimed, surprised.
âWhat blackhearted pigs?
These are Pig Scholar Beasts, this stuff is good.â
Keastin replied irritably.
âNo, are you selling us this meat?
Eating too much of it can drive people mad.â
Su Ming asked with a dark expression.
This blackhearted pig was also present in the Federation, and the inferior meat circulated in the Federation market came from these creatures.
Eating this meat could make people extremely irritable and eventually drive them mad, though there were expensive drugs available for treatment.
The meat Su Ming and his group ate was from regular domestic pigs, which, although not fed natural feed, did not have these flaws.
âI know.
The bodily structure of these Pig Scholar Beasts is very special.
They eat anything, even poison doesnât kill them.
They concentrate all toxins in their brains and then go mad!
The madder they are, the better the meat quality!â
Keastin explained to Su Ming.
âYou know this, and you still sell it to us?â
Su Ming asked, puzzled.
âWhat are you afraid of?
You need to eat a certain amount of this meat to suffer side effects.
Whoâs extravagant enough to eat it every day?
You canât even reach that volume!
Besides, donât worry, Iâm not selling you these.â
Keastin explained to Su Ming.
âOh, then which ones are you selling to us?â
Su Ming slightly relaxed after hearing Keastinâs explanation.
âIâm selling you this one!â
Keastin pointed to a Pig Scholar Beast kept alone not far away.
Next to this beast, there was a large feed processing machine.
At that moment, a worker maneuvered a mechanical forklift, lifting a five-meter-long dead moth and throwing it into the feed processor.
Boom rumble!
With the roaring sound of the machinery, heaps of Insect Powder poured out.
One by one, the workers poured this Insect Powder into the feed trough of that Pig Scholar Beast.
The beast frantically ate the Insect Powder.
âYouâre feeding it Insect Powder?â
Su Mingâs mouth twitched slightly.
âYeah, donât underestimate this Insect Powder, itâs high in protein!
If it werenât for the generous amount of money you provided and Novlinâs influence, I wouldnât have sold you such good stuff.â
Keastin explained to Su Ming.
âWhat do you feed the other Pig Scholar Beasts?â
Su Ming keenly sensed something was off.
âThey all get Corpse Powder.â
Keastin pointed directly toward bags of Corpse Powder in the corner.
âCorpse Powder?
What is that?â
Su Ming asked with a slight frown.
âCorpse Powder is made from dead monsters, humans, and other corpses.
Itâs also known as inferior synthetic powder.â
âYou feed them Corpse Powder?â
âYes, itâs always been like that.
Is there a problem?
Corpse Powder is edible, but bad luck comes with some extra rewards.â
Keastin explained nonchalantly.
Hearing this, Su Mingâs face turned as black as charcoal.
He had experienced a lot, but even his stomach churned instinctively.
From Keastinâs words, Su Ming finally understood how terrible the situation was in the lower ranks of the Dark Star Empire.
Personnel of the Holy Army had to eat Corpse Powder, not to mention the common citizens of the Empire who were worse off than livestock.
âCough cough, Mr.
Keastin, do you sell any vegetables here?â
Su Ming coughed and asked.
He really couldnât stomach this.
Hearing Su Mingâs question, Keastinâs eyes widened as if looking at a lunatic.
Then he quickly said to Novlin,
âLady Novlin, has your friend gone mad, wanting to eat vegetables, something even the lords of the Empire canât get?
Have you ever eaten it?
Iâve never had a bite in my life.â
