Chapter 272: Just Snacking

Other than food for Contract Soul Masters, there were also food for various soul pets.

Insects were a big group!

Wang Che looked over and immediately found a booth for special bug staple food and snacks.

Insect Food Home.

It sounded a little heartwarming and should be a very loving company.

“Oh, it’s a green caterpillar! How many dishes can a green caterpillar eat?”

As they queued, a young man in front looked around and saw Wang Che and the green caterpillar beside him. He said rather enthusiastically, “You’re still a student, right? From that school?”

“Forest Academy.”

“Forest Academy is good!” The young man’s eyes lit up, “It’s hard to say where else this academy is. In terms of cooking and cultivating soul plants, it’s definitely top-notch! I’m going to try it later.”

Wang Che smiled and replied, “You’re not a student?”

“I’m a pet trainer from the River Capital Pet Cultivation Club.” The young man said proudly, “I’m not good at fighting. However, I’m still very good at eating, especially soul pet food.”

“Your green caterpillar’s clothes are not bad. They should be expensive, right?”

“Not bad.” Wang Che nodded.

The young man glanced at the little caterpillar. Its entire body was wrapped in a black ferocious suit. Because it was close to its body, it looked like it had changed its skin.

It wore a hood on its head and had two small fangs on its mouth. It looked fierce and cute.

However, it opened its mouth and looked ahead, drooling.

“Your green caterpillar’s cultivation shouldn’t be low.” The young man pondered for a moment, “However, the Insect Food Home’s main food is not simple.”

“We’re here to try something new,” Wang Che said casually, “I’ll bring it to eat other bug food later.”

“Then it probably won’t eat much.” The young man smiled and said, “Our Insect Food Home specializes in various types of bug food. They’re all square leaves condensed from high concentration energy. Normally, eating one piece, with the appetite of a bug-type soul pet, can last about a day.”

“It’s like my Flaming Moth.”

The young man touched a moth soul pet on his shoulder.

Wang Che was quite familiar with the Flaming Moth.

A fire attribute bug-type dual attribute soul pet.

“With a soul power cultivation of three thousand years, it can probably only eat two pieces,” the young man calculated. “According to my experience, your green caterpillar can only eat one piece.”

“It’s fine as long as it’s full. Once it’s full, I’ll go eat.” Wang Che smiled and nodded.

The two of them chatted as they queued.

“Our River Capital Pet Cultivation Club’s Deputy Leader Kong, should have a high chance of becoming this year’s Glutton King.” The young man said proudly.

“Why are you so confident?” Wang Che asked.

“Because of the martial soul!” The young man said, “Do you know that there are many martial souls related to eating!”

Wang Che nodded, “Indeed.”

“Our Deputy Leader Kong’s martial soul is an organ martial soul, the Eight Taste Tongue. He can easily taste the problems of many meals. He’s already an honorary appraiser of many companies at a young age. In the previous Delicacy Conference, he obtained a total of 18 Delicacy Badges. He’s only one away from first place.”

“In this year’s Delicacy Conference, there shouldn’t be a Contract Soul Master stronger than him in terms of food.”

“Eight Taste Tongue. It’s an organ martial soul!” Wang Che thought for a moment.

That was indeed quite powerful.

Actually, there were many martial souls related to eating.

Other than the tongue, there were also the Iron Stomach, Finger Intestines, and so on.

These organ-type martial souls were also very powerful.

For example, the Iron Stomach martial soul could accelerate the decomposition of food and the absorption of soul power. Contract Soul Masters could rapidly increase the level of soul power by eating!

It could analyze the raw materials of food through the martial soul.

This martial soul did not have much combat ability.

However, it was very beneficial to cultivation and was suitable for various food-related industries.

It was the preferred martial soul of many food and pharmaceutical majors.

Such a Delicacy Conference was usually the world of Contract Soul Masters with such martial souls.

Delicacy Conference, King of Foods Competition, Agricultural Festival, and Two Kings Competition.

They all had Contract Soul Masters who were good at it.

Tasting delicacies, making food, cultivating soul plants, fighting competitions, and so on.

They all had their own soul masters.

“Tsk tsk, look at all of them… They can’t even finish a single energy leaf.”

The young man pointed at the eating soul pets in front, “Eating can very well reflect the level of soul pet training. These soul pets’ cultivation levels don’t look low, but in terms of eating, they’re so useless. The actual strength of the battle won’t be very high.”

Wang Che smiled. Although it was a little one-sided, it was true.

The more powerful a soul beast was, the greater the consumption of growth.

If it ate badly, it would affect the soul pet’s growth in all aspects.

Before long, it was his turn.

There were many colorful square leaves on the stage.

These leaves had various fragrances and species suitable for different insects.

‘It’s a very pure life force.’

Wang Che glanced at it and nodded slightly.

To be able to go on stage, the quality was indeed passable.

These square leaves should actually be called square crystals. They contained extremely high life force and nutrients.

It was compressed and of high quality.

Not to mention the taste, just the energy and nutrition it contained was suitable for large numbers of bug type soul pets.

The person in charge of the booth was a beautiful young lady in a white combat suit. After obtaining the basic information of the young man, she took out a light red energy leaf.

“This is our latest bug food second generation square leaf.” The young lady smiled, “Soul pets with soul power cultivation below 5,000 years can usually eat one piece a day to replenish the nutrients and energy needed to grow. The market price is within 1,000 dollars.”

“Second-generation staple food?” The young man was surprised, “Then give me one first. I thought it was a first-generation square leaf.”

The lady handed the young man a food box.

In the food box, a square leaf was divided into three pieces.

“This is a Yang Crystal Square Leaf specially made for fire-type soul pets. I suggest you eat it piece by piece.” The young lady reminded.

The young man nodded and began to feed the Flaming Moth.

After feeding it about two pieces, the Flaming Moth’s eyes were slightly drunk. Then, it nodded and ate the last piece.

It hid behind the young man and closed its mouth. It burped, indicating that it was full.

It could not eat anymore.

“The second generation staple food is even more powerful.” The young man sighed, “You should be starting to develop a ten thousand year soul pet’s square leaf now, right?”

“Yes, but it hasn’t been developed yet. How is it? Did your soul pet give you any useful suggestions?”

The young lady asked, “If the suggestion is useful, we can give you a rare badge!”

The young man discussed with his Flaming Moth for a while and shook his head.

The energy concentration of this square leaf was too high. How could a soul pet tell?

Obtaining a rare badge from these main soul pet food stands was even harder than obtaining it from the main Contract Soul Master’s food stand.

After all, soul pets were not humans.

“It’s okay.” The lady smiled.

The young man walked down and Wang Che walked up.

“Sss!”

The little caterpillar shouted, ‘I want to eat!’

The young lady was shocked by the little caterpillar and laughed when she realized that it was a green caterpillar in ferocious clothes.

Wang Che knocked the little caterpillar on the head.

The little caterpillar hissed.

She first asked the little caterpillar about the age of its soul power cultivation and quickly handed over a food box.

It was similar to the young man from before, but the color was milky white.

“Try it,” the lady said.

The little caterpillar impatiently swallowed the milk-white square leaf in the food box.

It was like a starving caveman.

The lady was speechless.

“It ate too quickly…” The lady hurriedly said.

“It’s okay,” Wang Che said.

After the little caterpillar ate, it patted its stomach with its tail, indicating that it wanted more.

“Give me another piece. I’ll let it taste it carefully.” Wang Che coughed.

“Can it still eat?” The young lady could not help but look at the green caterpillar.

After wearing the ferocious clothes, the specific cultivation situation could not be seen. The soul power cultivation could actually be found on the app through Wang Che’s name. The soul power cultivation was also correct.

The little caterpillar had a soul power cultivation of more than 1,600 years.

“It can still eat a little,” Wang Che said.

The lady nodded and was about to choose.

The little caterpillar was first. It pointed at the other leaves on the display platform with its tail, indicating that it wanted to try this.

“This is for fire-bug dual attribute soul pets.” The young lady hurriedly said, “The green caterpillar won’t feel much of an effect after eating it…”

“It’s okay, let it eat. It’s omnivorous and likes to eat different leaves,” Wang Che said.

Seeing this, the young lady glanced at the person in charge behind.

“As long as the soul pet can eat, it can taste it.” The person in charge smiled.

The girl took out the square leaf the little caterpillar had indicated and ate it in a few bites.

Then, it circulated the Metal Devouring Art to digest it.

“Ssss!”

The little caterpillar said to Wang Che, “This taste is not bad!”

It ate much more than the food it refined!

Wang Che nodded. After all, it was a staple food used by others to display. It was definitely not something a little caterpillar that had just learned for two weeks could compare to.

The little caterpillar pointed at the other types of square leaves with its tail.

It looked at the lady expectantly and cutely.

“This…” The young lady hesitated. It was not that she was unwilling, but this green caterpillar wanted to eat so much and could not absorb it in time. It was harmful to the body.

“Ahem, give it three more pieces. That’s enough,” Wang Che said.

The lady asked for the decision of the person in charge. The person in charge pondered for a few seconds and nodded.

The lady took out three more.

The little caterpillar ate everything in a few bites.

It still wanted to eat because it was not full at all.

However, Wang Che stopped it.

The lady heaved a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that something would happen to this little caterpillar if it ate too much.

The square leaf given to the little caterpillar just now was equivalent to the consumption of a two to three thousand year bug soul pet in a day.

It should be very full now.

Wang Che then communicated with the little caterpillar.

“This leaf is not bad,” Wang Che said, “However, according to the information it gave me, there are some small flaws. The milky white square leaf is fine. The other types of leaves contain insufficient life force. The absorption situation is not very good. I suggest adding more soul plants that can combine two types of life force.”

“For example, the Cloud Spit Fragrance.”

Since he had already eaten, it was better to give some suggestions. Otherwise, it would not be good to eat for free.

The lady was stunned. She pondered for a few seconds and looked at the person in charge behind.

The person in charge pondered for a few seconds and communicated with the chefs who were making the square leaves.

After a few seconds, the person in charge nodded at the young lady.

“Congratulations.” The lady took a deep breath and handed a shiny badge to Wang Che, “Your suggestion is useful. I’ll give you this Delicacy Badge.”

“Your green caterpillar is very powerful!”

Wang Che smiled and planned to leave with the little caterpillar.

The little caterpillar looked back at the other leaves in the booth and was still not satisfied.

“Don’t worry, we’ll go elsewhere later to eat,” Wang Che said to the green caterpillar, “Just have a snack for now.”

“???” The young lady looked at the backs of the two with a confused expression.

The group of Contract Soul Masters behind were also filled with questions, especially the young man who was completely stunned.

Snack?

The little caterpillar understood and immediately nodded. It followed Wang Che to the next booth.

Next, it was time to devour more food…
