The ultimate master of the ninja world

Chapter 21, Killing Living Things to Obtain Source Energy

Shumu Jianyue grabbed the gray rabbit that had just passed by his feet and pulled out the kunai. Under the reflection of the sunlight, a cold light passed over the gray rabbit's head.

噗

Blood splattered, and Gray Rabbit's body twitched a few times before becoming silent.

The sudden appearance of blood made other livestock in the yard restless. They were either running around or spinning in circles. The sound of chickens crowing and dogs barking was endless. Fortunately, there were no other people around, so there was no need to worry about being discovered by others.

Shumu Jianyue didn't care. He threw away the body of the gray rabbit and returned his attention to the interface panel. He saw that the value after the source energy changed from 0.1 to 0.11.

"Only 0.01, too little. The wild rabbit I caught halfway down the road was smaller than this one, and it also had 0.012 units of energy. Sure enough, the domestic ones are not as good as the wild ones." Shu Mu Jian Yue shook her head slightly, murmured.

Then he threw away the kunai, got up and walked towards the other livestock in the yard. These livestock suddenly became more violent, and their biological instincts made them feel threatened.

10 minutes later

The majestic ox fell to the ground wailing, blood flowing in the gaps between the stone slabs, condensing into a blood puddle, and the fishy smell permeated the yard.

As the cattle stopped living, the yard became completely quiet. It had now turned into a slaughterhouse, and the ground was covered with the carcasses of various livestock.

Shu Mu Jian Yue was indifferent, perhaps because his nature was too abnormal, and this scene really didn't excite him at all.

The source energy value displayed on the interface panel at this moment has changed to 1.35.

Among them, chickens, ducks and geese can each contribute about 0.005~0.01 units of source energy. Dogs, sheep, and roe deer each have about 0.1 units of source energy. Pigs are better, with 0.2 units of source energy. Oxen are the most impressive. Can produce 0.5 units of source energy.

Summarizing the rules, Shu Mu Jian Yue found that the larger and stronger the livestock, the more source energy they produced.

In addition, combined with the previous hunting in the wild, in comparison, the domestic ones of the same species and the same size obviously do not produce as much energy as the wild ones.

Small animals such as chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits can be ignored and generate too little source energy.

If he really had to rely on killing these small animals to collect source energy, he would have to kill more than 1 of them to meet the requirements of the altar. He would have to kill at least several hundred of them every day.

And just collecting such a large amount is troublesome, time-consuming and labor-intensive.

On the contrary, the source energy produced by cattle is the most considerable. As long as two hundred are found, the requirements can be met, but this is difficult.

We are still in the farming era, and cattle are an important labor force for farming and animal husbandry. For ordinary people, the value of a cow is sometimes no less than that of their family members. Few people will sell their cattle for money. Shumu Jianyue can get it. This scalper is still willing to spend money.

Many nobles regard beef as a top-quality food ingredient and despise other meats. This makes cattle extremely rare and expensive in the market. It is more difficult to get two hundred cows than to get ten thousand chickens, ducks and geese. Still big.

In comparison, pigs are the most cost-effective, not only because they are easy to breed in large quantities, but also because many upper-class people have the habit of eating pork as cheap meat and disdain to eat it. Therefore, generally only common people eat pork.

Of course, for ninjas who pay attention to practicality, they don't have this view.

Therefore, pork on the market can be regarded as the cheapest of all meats. Although the source energy produced in the same portion is not as good as that of sheep and dogs, the price is several times cheaper and it is easier to collect.

Summing up these factors, Shumu Jianyue decided to regard pigs as the main source of collecting source energy.

Shumizuki's plan is to purchase a large number of livestock and slaughter them to obtain source energy. Compared with Kei Shiraishi's method of entering the slaughterhouse to work, it is not only more efficient, but also less likely to expose abnormalities and make people suspicious.

Of course, the premise is that you have enough money. This kind of exclusive method for rich players is certainly not suitable for poor people like Shiraishi Kei who need to receive village relief funds.

Shumu Jianyue is not a wealthy person. He spent all his money when he bought the explosive talisman. However, when he came out, he happened to borrow 3 taels from a rich man like Sugi Yuanmu.

"Come on, I haven't become an official ninja, but I have become a pig killer. I have embarrassed the army of time travelers."

Shu Mu Jian Yue laughed at himself.

ten days later

It's late autumn, the cool breeze is howling, and there is no trace of sunshine under the gray sky.

On the broad road, a large group of fat pigs were moving slowly, and the noisy neighing sounds could be heard continuously. The stench brought out along the way spread with the wind, causing travelers who passed by from time to time to cover their mouths and noses and stay away in disgust.

There were seven or eight figures surrounding these pigs, each holding a bamboo pole in his hand. They danced from time to time to drive back the pigs that had escaped from the pig pen and were skewering everywhere.

"Boss, do you think this customer is a little strange?"

At the front of the group of pigs, a young man with a shrewd face said to a wealthy middle-aged man beside him, "The previous customer asked us to send the pigs to the city, but he instead asked us to go to a place where even people are hard to see." He sent them to the mountains and forests, and there must be more than 1000 of them this time. Why do you think he wants so many pigs?"

The young man dragged his sore and numb legs. Thinking of the nearly ten miles of traveling back and forth for the past ten days, he suddenly felt depressed.

It just so happened that he was in charge of the accounts, so he had to be present when the goods were delivered, and he had to come even if he didn't come. Unless he didn't want to hang around anymore, he thought the stingy boss would not mind replacing him with someone with a cheaper salary.

Aukawa Nansuke wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced at his clerk after hearing this, and said with some dissatisfaction, "You are the only one who talks a lot, why do you care so much? If he gives the money, we will earn it, and we will do our job honestly." Just do your job, don’t have petty thoughts all day long.”

The young man chuckled, resisting the urge to roll his eyes, and secretly cursed that the old guy didn't have to run so far back and forth every day. Of course, it was easy to say that. If he hadn't delivered the last batch today to save the remaining balance, I'm afraid he wouldn't have followed. Come.

In fact, Ayukawa Nansuke also felt that this customer was a little weird.

He owns a pig farm. Although it is not the largest among the many pig farms outside Aikawa City, it is not small either. Five days ago, a seemingly ordinary customer came to him and wanted to buy a pig farm. Thousands of pigs.

At that time, he thought the other party was teasing him. His breeding farm only sold two thousand head a year, and he had never met the customer who wanted a thousand head at a time. However, after the other party showed a large stack of money bills, he There would be no doubts.

It's just that this customer's request was a little weird. He actually asked them to deliver a hundred pigs a day, in ten batches, to a sparsely populated mountain forest five miles away from Aikawa City.

Later, he heard from his waiter that every time he sent pigs, the pigs he sent before were no longer anywhere.

Ayukawa Nansuke also gradually felt that something was wrong.

If the pigs have been moved, there seems to be no need to go to such great lengths to send them to the mountains and forests. Why not just send them to the destination directly? If the destination is too far, then there is no need to stay with them. Acquisition, it’s not like there are no breeding farms in other places.

But when faced with this weird customer, who offered a purchase price that was [-]% higher than the market price, he still couldn't resist the temptation and agreed to this weird purchase. For this reason, he also pushed through some orders that had been booked in advance by regular customers.

Fortunately, after delivering this batch of pigs, he can settle the account and get the balance. Even if there is any trouble, it is none of his business.

Thinking of this, Ayukawa Nansuke's legs, which had originally felt heavy, suddenly became light, and he walked faster without realizing it, which surprised the waiters around him.
