Aaaah! So embarrassing I could die.
This is even more shameful than dancing the Leek Sword Dance in front of everyone, okay?
Only then did Xia Yao and Zhong Yingxue learn that this egg came from the Kabu tribe and needed manual incubation.
Zhong Yingxue held back her laughter with effort. “Incubating the egg must be very hard for Xiaonan, very physically draining, right? Wait. I will go make you some delicious food right now.”
Saying that, she ran out of the room in a flash.
Xia Yao lay on the bed, propping her chin, staring at Jiangnan without blinking.
Jiangnan’s face was red. “What are you looking at? Never seen this before? You want to incubate but you do not even have one.”
Xia Yao leaned over curiously. “Na na na~ Have you thought of a name yet? Your feelings must be very complicated right now. After all, you are about to… roar roar roar~”
Jiangnan rolled his eyes and directly arched Xia Yao off the bed.
“Go away, go away. Do not delay me from contributing to the era.”
Xia Yao stuck her tongue out at Jiangnan, pulled the quilt over, and tucked him in properly again.
“You must not move, okay~ I will go help Xuexue cook, make you delicious food to nourish your body. I will come feed you later.”
Saying that, she also ran out.
Jiangnan: (λβΈλ)
Why do I feel like I am in postpartum confinement?
You suddenly being so good to me makes me very uncomfortable.
But being fed should be quite nice. Hehe~
However, thinking about having to incubate like this for three months, Jiangnan was about to go mad.
He frantically flipped through the notebook. There must be some other method.
As he read, Jiangnan’s eyes lit up.
Griffins are fire element spirit beasts. When incubating, the temperature in the griffin mother’s nest can reach two or three hundred degrees, so it only takes one month to hatch.
Human body temperature is only around thirty-something degrees. No wonder it takes three months.
So if he made himself hotter, would it not hatch faster?
“This theory is absolutely correct.”
“Blood Burn. Aha.”
Jiangnan directly activated 50% Blood Burn. His body temperature soared dramatically.
The egg in his arms moved.
Jiangnan was delighted. As expected, it worked.
But he could not maintain this state for three months, right? He would die after three minutes.
Three minutes later, Jiangnan helplessly turned off Blood Burn and activated the Eight Gates instead.
Body temperature soared again.
Ten minutes later, Jiangnan was sweating profusely in the quilt. This was not a long-term solution either.
Suddenly, Jiangnan’s eyes lit up brightly.
“Tsk. Why did I not think of this before?”
The Kabu tribe using body temperature to incubate was out of necessity. As a primitive tribe, they had no modern facilities.
As long as the temperature was raised to about the same as the griffin mother’s nest, that would do it.
The incubation time would definitely be greatly shortened.
Jiangnan. You really are a little genius.
Do it now.
Jiangnan hugged the egg and teleported directly to the kitchen, startling Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao who were busy there.
“Xiaonan? What are you about to…”
Jiangnan picked up the large ladle, turned on the gas stove, and boiled a full pot of water.
Under the horrified gazes of Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao, he put the pet egg into the boiling water.
Zhong Yingxue: β(Β°ε£Β°ΰΉ)
Xia Yao: (*οΎοΎοΎ)!!
“Xiaonan. Did you not just say you were incubating the egg? Why are you cooking it now?”
“No. This is a fresh little life.”
Jiangnan excitedly explained the principle to the two.
“Rest assured. This theory is absolutely correct. The griffin mother’s nest reaches two or three hundred degrees. Boiling water is only 100Β°C.”
“Absolutely no problem.”
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao stared blankly at Jiangnan. Can this be generalised? What kind of brain hole is this?
“You are clearly just boiling an egg.”
“This… seems unreliable.”
The pet egg sitting in the pot began shaking vigorously.
It even caused ripples on the water surface.
“Look. At 100Β°C it still feels cold. It is shivering from the cold. Xuexue. Add more fire.”
Xia Yao said dazedly, “Are you sure it is not trembling from fear?”
Zhong Yingxue looked heartbroken. “Really add?”
“Add.”
A burst of flame sprayed from her palm, applied to the bottom of the pot.
The water in the pot boiled thoroughly. The pet egg shook even more violently.
It actually jumped out of the pot and into Jiangnan’s arms, trembling nonstop.
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao watched in astonishment. This egg is so spirited.
Jiangnan frowned. “What is wrong? Still feel cold at 100Β°C? Look how frozen you are. Well, your mother’s nest has two or three hundred degrees.”
“Do not be afraid. I have another trick.”
Saying that, he went to the side and opened the oven.
He stuffed the pet egg inside. Directly turned the temperature to 200 degrees. Started heating.
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao nearly fainted.
Are you incubating an egg or cooking?
This egg’s life following you is too difficult.
After baking for a while, Jiangnan seemed to remember something. He opened the oven, took out the egg. A tempting aroma wafted over.
The two breathed a sigh of relief. Finally realised?
Jiangnan: “Hmm~ Do not bake the eggshell damaged.”
Saying that, he wrapped the eggshell in tin foil and put it back in.
“Do not worry, little one. As long as you bake in here for a month, you can hatch. I will wait here for you to come out. Ganbatte.”
“Slurp~”
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao: !!!
Bake for a month? Hey hey hey.
In a few hours it will be ready to eat, right?
Ganbatte? Add olive oil?
Your drool is flowing out.
At this moment, the egg in the oven trembled nonstop.
It madly crashed against the oven door, breaking it in three hits.
It jumped back into Jiangnan’s arms.
Jiangnan looked stunned. He peeled off the tin foil. The eggshell was intact.
“Not used to the oven either? How about we try the pressure cooker, induction cooker, microwave, or something?”
As soon as Jiangnan placed the egg on the induction cooker, the egg jumped back into his arms.
Jiangnan was baffled.
He placed the egg on the counter again. With a teleport, he appeared 10 metres away.
The egg hopped jump by jump, as if recognising its owner, and jumped into Jiangnan’s arms once more.
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao watched this scene blankly.
How can this egg jump?
It has not even hatched yet and it is about to become a spirit. You should stay far from that person.
Otherwise, you might not successfully break the shell.
Jiangnan stroked his chin, puzzled. So clingy?
It insists on me incubating personally? This is such a pity.
I finally thought of a way to speed up hatching.
“Note it down, note it down. Even if I cannot use such a good method, perhaps other spirit warriors can.”
Jiangnan hugged the egg and went to write the incubation report thoughtfully.
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao looked worried.
If this continues, will the entire spirit beast studies discipline be led astray by Jiangnan?
At night, Jiangnan held the egg with one arm while checking the system.
The second upgrade card had arrived.
He could choose to upgrade any currently owned consolation prize.
The first one was used on Vigour Potion. The effect improved significantly. Of course, the side effects became much more terrifying too.
Looking at his row of consolation prizes, Jiangnan hesitated.
In the end, he chose to upgrade the Golden Durian.
The Little Ginseng was still sufficient for now. If upgraded, who knows how strong the side effects would become.
As for Lucky Little Cherry, Jiangnan absolutely dared not use it. It might easily cause death.
He often ate the Golden Durian flesh. He was very looking forward to how strong the effect would become after upgrade.
As for side effects? What could happen?
At worst, it would smell a bit more, right? How much worse could it get?
No loss either way.
[Upgrade card confirmed used.]
[Golden Durian upgrade successful.]
[Diamond Big Durian.]
It could be exchanged in the system shop for just 1000 resentment points.
Jiangnan excitedly sat up in bed.
It was not Golden Durian 2.0? But Diamond Big Durian?
Diamond? Real diamond or fake?
He quickly checked the effects.
[Diamond Big Durian.]
Effect: Instantly restores the user’s spiritual power to full.
And increases spiritual power storage by 50% on top of the original total, lasting 3 minutes.
Diamond Big Durian. Not sweet, no charge.
One lasts forever. Fragrance circulates eternally.
-`ΰ·Β΄-Τ (ΰ«’βΌΜ΄Μ€Μα½’βΌΜ΄Μ€ΜΤ )
Jiangnan’s eyes sparkled.
Oh my. Does it have to be this strong?
It can actually increase total spiritual power in the body?
Meaning if before it was 100%, after eating a bite of Diamond Big Durian flesh, total spiritual power would reach 150%?
This is indirectly raising minor levels.
He was Gold Three. With one bite, his total spiritual power would rival Gold Seven or Eight spirit warriors.
Wonderful. This is simply too wonderful.
Unable to wait, Jiangnan directly took out a Diamond Big Durian.
It nearly blinded his eyes.
No way? Real diamond?
