Chapter 15: Found A D-Grade Treasure Chest While Moving

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“A family should be all together!”

Joseph panted heavily and threw the last corpse of the Demon Pig on the empty ground in front of the Cabin In The Forest. A total of nine Demon Pigs were piled together and looked even more spectacular than the Cabin In The Forest.

“So much pork! How long do I have to eat it?”

Joseph did not mind the dirtiness. He sat directly on the corpse of a Demon Pig and kept measuring the body of the Demon Pig with his short sword.

A Demon Pig was around 500 pounds, so nine of them would be 4500 pounds. If he relied on himself to eat it, he would not be able to eat this much even if he ate the Demon Pigs rotted.

“I don’t care. If it’s processed and cut well, I can just turn it into barbecued meat and trade it as an item. I can also exchange it for a large number of resources, right?”

Joseph thought of an idea. He stood up and directly transformed into the Bloody Butcher Joseph.

“Let’s cut here. Lean meat is most suitable for roasting meat. The fat and lean meat here are most suitable for making sausages!”

Joseph cut, again and again, completely displaying the bloody butcher’s class to the extreme. Even if a real butcher saw it, he would not be able to look straight at this bloody scene.

After the Demon Pigs died one by one, the entire empty space was filled with the pungent smell of blood. Apart from a large amount of Demon Pig Meat, Joseph also found nine shiny, black Crystal Cores in the nine Demon Pig’s head.

[Demon Pig Crystal Core: the Energy Crystal for the entire body of the Demon Pig ]

[Effect: can transform other magical beasts into large edible Demon Pigs ]

“Did it just give me a Magical Beast Egg and a pig farm?”

Joseph looked at the black Crystal Core in his hand and scratched his head. “Is the Great Emperor Joseph going to change his class from a Close-Ranged Mage to an all-rounder breeder in the future?”

Joseph felt that the recent rewards were not friendly to him at all. A Perfect-Grade Barbecue Grill and a Crystal Core that could transform Magical Beasts into large edible Demon Pigs made him feel like a chef.

However, whether it was the breeder or the chef, they did not match the temperament of Emperor Joseph at all.

Had you ever seen a chef wearing plate armor, holding a short sword and a crossbow?

Had you ever seen a breeder who could cast the Water Ball Skill?

No, right?

Today, Emperor Joseph will let you experience it!

He put away the portable base [Cabin In The Forest]. The treasure chests nearby had been dug up by him long ago, so there was nothing left for him there.

It was time to move his home into the underground karst cave. Not only was the environment beautiful, but there were also a lot of treasure chests and supplies.

Moreover, there was a river. Although the water in it could not be used, it undoubtedly added a perfect ‘moat’ for Joseph’s safety.

After all, no one wanted their home to be patronized when they went out to dig.

He continued to ride the Emperor Joseph to the karst cave. Looking at the scenery in the karst cave that was completely different from the outside world, Joseph liked to call this place paradise.

“From today onwards, this is Paradise Island!”

Joseph said with a smile. He continued to patrol the karst cave and finally released the Cabin In The Forest on an empty land surrounded by stalactites and used it as his new home.

However, at this moment.

[System prompt: there is a D-Grade Blueprint Treasure Chest 50 meters ahead. Please excavate as soon as possible!]

50 meters ahead?

Joseph looked at the Cabin In The Forest in front of him. The Cabin In The Forest was 50 meters ahead, right?

There were countless stalactites behind him?

Joseph thought as he walked around the Cabin In The Forest and climbed toward the stalactite. When he stood on the stalactite that was 10 meters tall, he realized that it was a huge earth wall.

“It’s starting, my old friend!”

Joseph picked up the shovel and began to dig from top to bottom. However, as he dug, he found that the soil here was very soft. Even when the shovel was still digging, it had already collapsed by itself.

Just like that, Joseph only used dug three times to collapse the entire earth wall.

“Cough, cough!”

Joseph covered his mouth to block the dust in front of him. This caused the entire Cabin In The Forest to be covered in dust. It was as if it had just been dug out of the ground.

“Really… Cough, cough… What the hell is that?”

Joseph waited quietly on the stalactite until all the dust had fallen to the ground. Only then did he begin to slowly climb down from the stalactite.

Reaching out in his plate armor, Joseph was like a clumsy tin can. If it were not for the many stone steps on the stalactite, he did not know when he would be able to come down.

“Bang!”

Unable to bear the clumsy climbing, Joseph directly jumped down from the one-meter-high stalactite.

Dust flew everywhere. At this time, Joseph could clearly see the scene in front of him.

It was an empty cave that was nearly a hundred meters wide. There were huge earth walls on all four sides, and the middle of the cave was extremely empty.

“The system gave me another pig farm?”

When Joseph saw this cave, his first reaction was that it was actually a pig farm. This empty cave, together with the messy stalactites in front, was basically a naturally formed pig farm.

[System prompt: there is a D-Grade Treasure Chest three meters below the host’s feet. Please excavate it as soon as possible!]

Joseph had not even moved when he heard the system’s voice.

“Forget it, there’s no hurry for the pig farm or anything. It’s more important to excavate the treasure chest first.”

Putting aside the pig farm’s plan for the time being, Joseph began to excavate. With shovel after shovel, he did not know if practice made perfect, but Joseph’s movements and angles became very relaxed.

The three-meter deep hole was excavated in just ten minutes.

“Hey, this is a game-changer!”

The D-Grade Treasure Chest that was excavated was completely different from the E and F-Grade Treasure Chests from before. It was no longer the wooden treasure chest from before.

It had changed into a pitch-black iron material, coupled with the large D character carved on it. It gave off a rough and wild sense of beauty.

[Opened D-Grade Treasure Chest: Equipment Upgrade Blueprint x 1, Basic Beast Pen obtained! ]

[Equipment Upgrade Blueprint: F-Grade Equipment can be upgraded to E-Grade.]

[Basic Beast Pen: Wooden Basic Beast Pen, can raise basic magical beasts.]

Joseph looked at the blueprint in front of him and the mini model of the Beast Pen. He immediately smiled. What reason would I have to refuse since you had given me so much?

From this day onwards, I would become the biggest Magical Beast breeder in the underground world.

However, how should I use this Beast Pen?

Joseph held the mini Beast Pen and kept observing it. Just as he was confused, the model in his hand accidentally fell to the ground.

[Detected suitable environment: do you want to place the Basic Beast Pen?]

Joseph, who had finally found a way to use it, had no reason to refuse.

[Place!]
