Hey..

where did all the meat go?

I swear i just stockpiled it. I spent a few hours carrying it from the car... so where did it go?

I'll check on cobalt, he might have some indication.

Opening the screen door, what I didn't expect to see was a fully grown Insectoid laying on her chest. Cobalt's on the mini map here... so where is he?

Is he... no.

Me - " Cobalt? You under there buddy? "

Cobalt - " hmvng "

Me - " I'll get you outa there! "

I approached the... lady? Yeah. I walked up carefully to her, she was at least twice my height, much larger than the queen we fought before... and she's growing still?

Me - " Excuse me uh, can you get off my friend please? I think he might find it uncomfortable. "

Anise - " Who are... you? "

Me - " My names Arch, and you are? "

Anise - " Anise... Queen Anise. "

Me - " Well, queen anise, can you please get off my friend? "

Anise - " Oh... right. "

She stood upright, there was a Cobalt shaped indent in the ground where she laid too, Cobalt let out a rough groan.

Cobalt - " Can you not do that again Anise? It's really hard to breathe in your... chest. "

Is that what was happening?

Biomass found, influence growth of Tamed Creature to full stature? |

N-

Confirmed |

Initiating growth |

I said no!

...

..

.

She's just getting taller now, she was already 1.5x my height at first! Why would she need to be bigger!

Spider varients of Blood Queen Insectoid grow up to 25 feet tall. |

Can I have her just normal height?

Spider varients of Blood Queen Insectoid can naturally change their height after reaching maximum growth. |

Thank God... but that's more resources than I expected! I just wanted something similar to Dice... Whatever, just another goal the-

Growth complete |

Holy sh-

Transforming to normal height. |

Oh.

... Horray?

Anise - " I hope this form is more... comfortable for you..

Master, what do you... think? "

She's just slightly above my height now... thank the Lord! I don't have to be crushed again!

Me - " Yes... thank you. Also, thanks for the save Arch. "

Arch - " No problem, is it just me or does she look like Dice? "

Anise - " Who's ...Dice? "

Dice - " Me. "

Where did she -

Anise - " Are you... another of master's?

Dice - " Yes, I am the first. You're from the egg right? "

Anise - " I believe so... "

Seriously where did she come from?

I'm going to try and get out of here while I can, I got a feeling something bad could happen at any moment.

I'll just head towards the kitchen, I'll make a few meals for everyone. I also heard that Melody likes to cook, so I'll ask her if she can help me out.

Since I need ingredients, I need a source of income. What better than Divine or Relic Equipment? So, I posted onto the forums.

- Selling 1 Divine level Equipment to the highest bidder, any effect or item type. -

Set up an auction? |

Yes please.

Confirmed |

Alert, bid has reached Max amount. |

That was fast as shit! Someone just straight up bought it for... how much is max bid again?

1,000 Platinum coins |

We are back in business baby! We are dealing with Platinum again! Oh how I must the illustrious shine those coins brought!

Who placed the Bid?

User " Edo " |

Edo?

I never heard that name... he's not listed as someone with that amount of money on the rank listings... infact he's not on the list at all?

That means he got that amount of money without doing raids or events...

I'll send him a message.

- Congrats Edo, you won the auction. What kind of item are you looking for? -

- Hewwo, can I pwease have a dwagger? -

Are you kidding me.

- Sure, what kind of effects are you generally looking for? -

- Do you hab anwy that work for Assaswins? -

- Of course, any special elemental effect you want? -

- Can you do metal type? -

Metal? Why? That's boring!

- Sure. I'll have your item ready by tommorow if you send the cash. -

- Okies! -

10,000 Platinum Coins transfered |

- Alright, I got the cash. Meet me at Blossom field tommorow around noon. -

Its more cash than I asked for but whatever.

- Thwank yous! -

Chat closed |

God, that hurts my eye balls to read.

System, buy paprika, salt, pepper, matza meal, 3 eggs, cooking oil, and garlic powder.

Confirmed, 2 gold coins deducted |

Overkill huh?

Let's see what the rock is cooking.

Get it?

Anyways, I went kicked up the stove and started the show.

I took out two small cooking containers and warmed up the oil in a small pan. I'm planning on making shnitzel, so it's time to get out the meat.

System, do we have any chicken in storage here?

All meat products have been drained from " Anise" 's growth. |

Really? Fucking wow. Didn't we just get shit tons of meat?

Whatever, I got money.

Buy a few packs of chicken breasts system.

Confirmed |

Taking the rest of the ingredients out of my inventory, I placed the dry ingredients in one container and cracked the eggs into the other, breaking the yokes as well. Testing the heat... perfect.

I placed the meat into the Egg, coating the whole breasts with it. Then I coated it with the mixed dry ingredients.

Then, to the Oil.

There's no real measurements that I use, it's just to taste. That's what my Grandmother taught me... my grandparents taught me lots of things.

After quite the bit of cooking, I finished the chicken. I don't often serve on skewers, but it seems there is no plates.

I'd buy some but, skewers are kinda fun and Arch has tons of the things.

I cut them into skewer appropriate squares, and then... skewered them and put them into my inventory.

Recipe Created |

Homemade Shnitzel Skewer |

Thanks? Don't need a recipe. It's just from the heart you know?

Speaking of the heart, I almost see floating hearts around Dice and Anise as I give them some skewers... I delivered to them last so I could sit outside and eat with them, it's almost approaching sun down.

Melody shyly asked for the recipe later... the rest just thanked me normally.

After eating a few skewers with Dice and Anise ( Boy they can eat. ) Arch came an asked for some more. I got 30 left so I just gave him 14 to hand out to the rest, I know I might need the rest of these for these two...

I think Anise is eating the sticks too...

After the nice meal, I sent the two to bed.

It's time to make a Dagger...

I have just enough Wyvern Scales to make the blade, for the handle ill use the Spider Carapaces. I won't make a hilt for it, rather I'll fuse the blade straight to the handle and have the blade have a flat bottom so the hand doesn't slide off.

I'd normally just have a hilt, but for the specific type of dagger I'm making you'd make the hilt from the actual blade... do I can make the effect of the metal Magic effective to the whole structure.

I don't know what metal magic does yet for a blade, I'm kinda excited to find out.
