Do I just leave the stuff here next time?”
Zhao Guang, who had just found his own path, was in a very good mood, feeling as if the skies had cleared after a rain.
Everything he saw seemed so vivid, lifting his spirits.
Ocoro waved his hand: “No, still, let me know first.
After all, this is still within the military camp.
In case we are not careful enough, what if Yars that waste spots us?”
For Ocoro, Yars was always a waste, no matter how capable he is.
“Fine then, let’s head out.
What are you going to do with these items?”
Ocoro did not speak but mysteriously produced a whistle from somewhere and gave it a blow.
There was no audible sound, yet people quickly arrived at the scene and nodded at Ocoro.
Ocoro pointed at the items on the ground, and then those people took them without a word and left.
Seeing these well-trained fellows, Zhao Guang couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.
Although Ocoro seemed offbeat, he was undoubtedly no simple character; not just anyone could train such people.
The two men left one behind the other, and those people had already disappeared.
At this moment, Zhao Guang finally took notice of what was on the opposite side.
There was a huge fence, the kind that was too extensive to see an end to, with no telling how large it actually was.
At this time, Zhao Guang heard a “huffing” sound coming from the other side, resembling the grunt of a pig.
He said it resembled because he wasn’t certain if it was actually a pig.
The creature in front of him was very fat, like a Wujiaopig creature from a cartoon world, round and plump like a cantaloupe, with four short legs that didn’t carry it very fast.
Its body was covered with golden-brown fur, and some dark brown patterns on its back created a curiously cute appeal.
“What is this, for breeding?
It doesn’t look like it can be used in battle.”
“These are Wujiaopigs, indeed bred here.
Wherever there are a lot of people gathered, some are bred.
The meat we usually eat is that of these Wujiaopigs.”
Zhao Guang was startled, then he recalled that the meat they normally ate, although crudely processed, tasted quite good.
It was very similar to the ordinary pork he had eaten, but with some unique flavor profiles.
He had never paid attention or perhaps the heavy flavor of the chili pepper made it difficult to discern.
It seems he ought to thoroughly enjoy his meal at the banquet later; maybe these piglets would be excellent.
If that was actually the case, then why bother looking for two-headed crows and such?
He could just use these Wujiaopigs.
Seeing the look in Zhao Guang’s eyes as he observed the pigs, Ocoro began to explain: “You see the stripes on their backs, exactly five, hence the name Wujiaopigs.
But honestly, beyond using them for meat, they’re not much good for anything else.”
“Speaking of Wujiaopigs, they count as Magic Beasts, but all they have is a Talent Magic for spewing which isn’t powerful, not even strong for use in illusions.”
As they were talking, a Wujiaopig sneezed towards the front, shooting out a white jet of air.
In an instant, the jet hit the ground as if a heavy object had slammed down, creating a hole in the ground.
This kind of attack could fatally wound or at least seriously injure an ordinary person.
But looking at this attack, Ocoro’s face was full of disdain.
Such an attack couldn’t even break the wooden fences around.
The quality of wood in this world generally surpasses that of Earth’s wood.
“They are bred in this place because Wujiaopigs grow meat particularly fast, have a strong reproduction rate, and also taste good.
In fact, if it weren’t for us discovering them and breeding them, Wujiaopigs might have gone extinct a long time ago.”
“Are Wujiaopigs really fast at reproducing, and how quickly do they grow meat?”
Despite not knowing why Zhao Guang took such an interest in these creatures, Ocoro still explained.
“Indeed, they are fast.
Wujiaopigs can give birth to two to three litters a year, each litter having four to eight piglets, and their survival ability is strong.
As long as there’s no external attack, they can basically survive.
Moreover, they can reproduce in just six months after being born.”
This rate of reproduction was truly terrifying, even faster than rabbits.
Zhao Guang’s eyes gleamed; these creatures were much bigger than rabbits.
If managed well, his pig breeding venture could rapidly expand; Earth’s pigs were no match at all.
“We often have to control the numbers of these Wujiaopigs, or else they could easily overrun the place.”
He hadn’t expected that meat in this world could be so easily obtained.
He wondered if Beastmen on the coast used Wujiaopigs too, though the taste of the meat seemed to vary between the two regions.
“So, what about their growth rate?” With the ability to reproduce at six months, their growth rate must not be slow.
“Wujiaopigs will eat anything.
We usually just let them graze on the grass that grows on the ground.
They can reach full size in about two years, similar to that one over there.”
Zhao Guang followed Ocoro’s pointing finger and saw a fully grown Wujiaopig across from them.
This Wujiaopig was over four meters in length, much larger than the pigs on the shores of Earth.
Due to its exceedingly round body shape, the huge Wujiaopig moved very slowly, its entire demeanor lethargic.
Zhao Guang began to think; even this crude method of breeding allowed for such rapid growth.
What if feed was used, what if castration was performed?
Could they grow faster and taste better like domestic pigs?
These experiments needed to be conducted back home, and he was now in a position to do so.
Moreover, the breeding methods between Earth and here were different; they didn’t just raise them to their largest at once.
This related to a feed to meat conversion rate, as they usually slaughtered when half-grown.
So, the time of reaching the market could actually be even shorter.
By then, using cheaper meat, he could easily dominate the market.
What the higher-ups would think, he would deal with that later.
As long as he wasn’t thinking of playing a monopoly, it would be a great deed.
Thinking this, Zhao Guang said eagerly, “Um, these Wujiaopigs, could you give me some piglets as breeders?
I plan to try breeding them where we’re located.”
“Take whatever you want; there’s no need to even report it.
Wujiaopigs are everywhere,” Ocoro said.
Ocoro didn’t care at all about these things, since he didn’t specifically study them, and they lacked that awareness.
In their minds, Wujiaopigs were just a very common sight.
If they weren’t in a frontier place like this, why would real nobles ever eat such ordinary meat?
It would be beneath their status.
