Chereads / Beast Taming: I Can Bestow Attributes / Chapter 16 - Gourmet Hunter

Chapter 16 - Gourmet Hunter

In the next two matches, the opponents Chen Mo encountered were not strong. They were not even as strong as the Swamp Frog he encountered in the first match.

Without revealing any trump cards, the Blazing Flame Fox easily took it down.

"Chirp!"

Xiao Jiu's tail was about to curl up.

"Don't underestimate your opponent. You'll only meet your true opponent in the upcoming main competition. If you can obtain the prize money, I'll give you half of it!"

Chen Mo stroked the Blazing Flame Fox's soft fur and smiled.

"Chirp!" (Xiao Jiu doesn't want the prize money. Xiao Jiu only needs dried fish to eat every day!)

Under Chen Mo's touch, the Blazing Flame Fox comfortably narrowed its eyes.

Xiao Jiu's wandering experience since a young age made it very easily satisfied. Moreover, it knew that it owed its current strength to the Beast Tamer.

Although money was a good thing, it could only be more useful in Chen Mo's hands. Moreover, with the money, he would be one step closer to having his grandmother's illness cured.

"No problem. I'll bring you to eat high-end dried fish every day!"

"Chirp!" (The spicier the better!)

In the afternoon, Chen Mo brought the Blazing Flame Fox onto the train to God of Culinary Academy.

The preliminary would last for a total of three days. Chen Mo, who had already advanced, did not need to care about the following matches.

If the number of people who advanced exceeded 32, there would be a few more rounds of competition. However, according to the previous years, there would only be fewer contestants who advanced.

After changing buses a few times, Chen Mo finally arrived at the entrance of God of Culinary Academy.

However, to Chen Mo's surprise, the management of God of Culinary Academy was quite strict. The security guard stopped him at the door.

In the end, it was Xiao Jiu who used its beauty and captured the heart of a young lady from the academy.

With the help of this young lady, Chen Mo successfully met 10 different gourmet elves.

It was an eye-opener.

There were the Little Toast Monster who had the regeneration technique could continuously produce delicious toast, the Lemon Essence that could remove the fishy taste and increase the freshness of the food with a drop, the Little Lotus Demon that could increase the taste and fragrance of the food, the Demonic Pepper that could make the food super spicy and so on.

The combat ability of these gourmet spirit beasts was not very strong, but they had mastered many moves that could increase the taste of food.

With the help of these food-type spirit beasts, Chefs could often create a lot of food that was so delicious that it would explode with special effects.

There were even some high-level foods that could promote the evolution of spirit beasts.

Just smelling the fragrance made Xiao Jiu want to cry.

In the end, the young lady personally made a sweet and sour pork rib for the little fox.

Satisfied, the man and beast went home.

Indeed, some beasts could be tricked into eating and drinking just by their looks!

On the way home, Chen Mo made another surprise discovery—

After obtaining the [Gourmet Tracker] attribute, because he still had the [Gourmet Enthusiast] attribute, these two attributes actually fused together and turned into a blue attribute.

[Gourmet Hunter] (Blue)

[Attribute Effect: After tasting delicacies, there is a small chance of obtaining an enhancement of a certain ability. The higher the quality of the food, the more obvious the enhancement effect is. You'll have the ability to sense all gourmet spirit beasts or ingredients within a 200-meter radius.]

"It can actually be fused. Not only is there an empty attribute slot, but the effect is also enhanced!"

The two similar attributes could actually be fused!

This was great!

—-|—-

Two days later, Chen Mo came to the arena again.

Today was the main competition of the Young Eagle Cup.

Unlike the preliminary rounds, there were special hosts, judges and media from the start of the main competition today. The competition would be broadcasted on the local television station.

Moreover, the opponent would be decided by the contestants after drawing lots an hour before.

After Chen Mo drew the lot, he saw the information of his opponents in the top 32.

[Beast Tamer: Chen Xuan]

[Spirit Beast: Little Lion Hound]

[Spiritual Beast Growth Level: Transcendence Level 1]

[Competition Venue: Venue 2]

[Competition Time: 9:00]

"We can't underestimate a Transcendence level opponent."

"Chirp!"

Xiao Jiu expressed that it understood.

Although it had never been defeated since it left the mountain, it understood that there was a mountain outside the mountain and a beast outside the beast.

"Let's take the pills first. No, let's eat the candy first."

Chen Mo took out the honey milk candy and dried fish that he had prepared in advance. After eating them, Xiao Jiu felt warm and full of strength.

In the next hour, Xiao Jiu's attack, defense and speed would increase.

After the attribute was upgraded to [Gourmet Hunter], the enhancement effect was slightly better than before.

At this moment, not counting the enhancement of the other attributes, Xiao Jiu's physique was already comparable to a Level 9 Awakening spirit beast.

"Looks like it's possible for me to walk the path of a Chef in the future. After all, the more delicious the food, the stronger the amplification effect."

Chen Mo thought to himself and walked into the arena.

The Beast Tamer and spirit beast on the other side went on stage almost at the same time.

The Little Lion Hound was a fire-elemental spirit beast. It was loyal and brave and was loved by many Beast Tamers.

Although there was the word "little" in its name, its size was not small at all. Its size was already comparable to a large hound.

After it evolved into a Fire Lion, its size would be comparable to a large ferocious beast.

"Roar!"

After seeing the Blazing Flame Fox, the Little Lion Hound let out a furious roar and stared fiercely at Xiao Jiu with its pitch-black eyes.

It wanted to use its aura to suppress the Blazing Flame Fox and make it shy away from the battle. It wanted to create favorable conditions for itself before the competition began.

Just as the Blazing Flame Fox was about to glare back, it heard Chen Mo's voice from the bottom of its heart, "Pretend to be weak."

Chen Mo smiled when he saw Little Lion Hound threatening Xiao Jiu.

Since the other party was playing dirty tricks, he might as well beat them at their own game.

It was not because he had bad intentions, but because the 300,000 yuan reward was too tempting. He could not allow any accidents to happen.

After understanding what Chen Mo meant, Xiao Jiu's body trembled and it subconsciously took a step back, not daring to look at the Little Lion Hound.

Seeing this scene, Chen Mo praised the little fellow in his heart.

Jiu Bao, as expected of you! Your acting talent is maxed out!

When Chen Xuan saw this scene, he could not help but smile and start spouting rubbish.

"Can you do it, Foxy?"

Chen Mo ignored him.

Soon, the referee waved the order flag.

"Let the competition begin!"

The moment the referee spoke, the Little Lion Hound launched a charge. Crimson flames spewed out of its mouth. Under the fast charging state, it outlined a flaming path in the air. The Blazing Flame Fox was stunned on the spot.

"The Little Lion Hound quickly approached the Blazing Flame Fox with its Flame Fangs. However, the Blazing Flame Fox seemed to be frightened and stayed rooted to the ground! Hurry up and move! Blazing Flame Fox!"

The host excitedly commented on the competition.

"The Blazing Flame Fox didn't dodge. The Little Lion Hound's Flame Fangs hit the Blazing Flame Fox. Looks like the outcome of this match is decided!"

The audience below the stage could not bear to watch this scene. This battle was like a bully was bullying a weak girl.

However, just as the host finished speaking, purple lightning suddenly shot out from the Blazing Flame Fox's claws that had been bitten on its back. Swift Thunder Claw quickly streaked across the Little Lion Hound's back!
