Chapter 270 - 270 270 The Pig Died Fat

270: Chapter 270: The Pig Died Fat 270: Chapter 270: The Pig Died Fat Watching Ye Zhi guarding her food, Zhao Guang wasn’t interested in competing with a woman for food.

Once back in his room, Zhao Guang started to check.

Eventually, he came across a problem: worldwide, if food tasted good, it typically fell into two extremes.

If it could be produced domestically, the price would be very affordable, and the sales volume huge.

If it couldn’t be produced domestically, the price would generally be substantial, depending on the foreign supply and transport costs.

And those items that were very beneficial for the human body always had an uncertain price, but they were usually not cheap.

However, such items usually had one thing in common: extremely low production, so low prices were almost non-existent.

And items that tasted good and were also extremely beneficial to the body?

They were simply astronomically priced.

Like his five pigs, from all indications, they seemed to fall into the high-end category within this type of goods.

The only problem, it seemed, was the issue of production.

These five pigs had an incredibly frightening capability to reproduce; once they began reproducing, the quantity would undoubtedly be enormous.

It seemed that he needed to implement some control over the five pigs to drive up the price.

After all, these five pigs weren’t meant for ordinary people, and Zhao Guang did not want to disrupt the market.

If he let out too many, other types of meat in the market could potentially suffer a significant downfall.

If that happened, he would not be protected by the authorities but rather be held accountable by them.

While he was investigating, suddenly a phone call came through.

Nowadays, only a few people could directly call him.

Zhao Guang looked and, surprisingly, it was from Liu Jiayin.

“What’s wrong, why so urgent?

The meat you delivered didn’t have any problems, did it?”

Liu Jiayin’s voice was indeed anxious, “There are no problems with those, but there’s a problem with the five pigs.”

Zhao Guang’s brow furrowed; a problem with the five pigs was a big problem indeed.

Although he didn’t discover anything concerning the five pigs initially when he was developing Yi Province, he had later started to focus on developing the five pigs as a central part of his business.

Even if it was just to create his Golden Body, he couldn’t simply forgo all benefits.

“What’s wrong with the five pigs?

Don’t panic, tell me in detail.”

Zhao Guang had already prepared mentally for this.

No matter how it was put, these five pigs were still species from the Magic World.

If there really was a problem, it would not be impossible, but it should be minor, surely?

This wasn’t any powerful Magic Beast; generally speaking, even on Earth, they should be able to grow normally.

“Well, we just discovered that the five pigs have died.”

“Died?

What happened, how did they die?

It wouldn’t be because of swine fever, would it?”

Swine fever was a massive issues for the pig farming industry, perhaps the biggest problem.

An outbreak could lead to massive losses, especially when raised in large numbers, but are these really the same species?

“No, according to our examination, it looks like they died from being too fat.”

“Died from being too fat?

What does that mean?” Pigs are supposed to be fat, aren’t they?

If not fat, what else would one eat?

Moreover, considering the size of the five pigs, their physique resembled a melon with four wooden sticks, actually even fatter.

But weren’t they very lively?

“Yes, they died from being too fat.

After an overnight autopsy and a series of examinations, we found out that the five pigs didn’t have any issues on their own, and their meat quality hadn’t changed either.

However, their body structure had significant problems.”

“Explain in detail.” He really hadn’t expected this.

“These five pigs grew very fast, but their skeletal structure was similar to normal animals.

Because they got too big, their excessive flesh overwhelmed their internal organs.”

Liu Jiayin was gesturing on the other end, not caring whether Zhao Guang could see or not.

“So when they grew too large, their own organs couldn’t withstand the pressure, and they just died.

Strictly speaking, this is considered a disease.”

“I see, but since the meat itself is fine, there shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

“No, the pigs are dead, and this problem could be big or small.

If others find out our pigs died from a disease, or even just that they had a disease, do you think they would still think this pork is edible?”

Yeah, the mention of disease-ridden pigs doesn’t indicate something edible; he would feel the same.

This was getting complicated.

Zhao Guang felt a headache coming on.

His newly started venture wasn’t going to falter, was it?

If people found out there was a problem with the five pigs, those affected would definitely latch onto this issue.

If not handled properly, his five pigs could be linked to genetically modified organisms.

Becoming a target wasn’t out of the question.

Even those hybrids would likely be attacked.

After all, the mother species itself was diseased; who could say these hybrid variants wouldn’t be scrutinized?

No, it’s certain they would be scrutinized.

“There’s another issue; after discovering the problem with the five pigs, we immediately checked other breeds throughout the night, only to find out that these breeds are all degenerating.”

“Degenerating?

What’s going on?” Zhao Guang was speechless.

“It’s degeneration.

Whether it’s descendants of the five pigs or the hybrids, only the first generation was the best.

Subsequently, the beneficial elements within their bodies decreased more and more, and levels kept falling.”

“And with fewer of these beneficial elements, both the five pigs and the hybrid loaf pigs’ meat quality also dropped.

If this degeneration continues, they might end up not much better than ordinary pork.”

Just comparable to ordinary pigs?

Although that’s still a huge industry, it’s nothing compared to what is now.

If there were no such expectations to begin with, it would maybe not be a problem, but now that expectations were shattered, it was different.

The crux of the matter was plain to Zhao Guang; it was the issue with Magic Elements.

Previous experiments had confirmed this major difference between Otherworld and Earth.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guang said, “Block the news for now.

If anyone asks, just say it’s still undergoing experimentation and adjustment, and not yet conclusive.

Leave this matter to me to resolve.”

“I’ve already done that.

Are you sure you can solve it?”

“Don’t worry, the five pigs were cultivated by us.

If it really doesn’t work out, we could switch to another species later.” He had some confidence in this.

After all, money facilitates things.

If he couldn’t, couldn’t the Mages?

As long as he provided enough Magic Crystal Stones, he believed there would always be a Mage willing to help him solve this problem.

Recently, Zhao Guang had also come to understand the pursuit for Magic Crystal Stones.
