Keastin immediately said with a smile on his face.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“No problem, is this money enough?”
“If you want ordinary meat, it’s certainly enough.
But if you want better quality, it’s still a little short.”
“I want the good stuff, money is not an issue.”
Su Ming replied indifferently.
Beside him, Fia, hearing Su Ming’s words, looked at him with eyes full of admiration.
“Lord Su Ming, is it really okay to spend so much?”
Novlin spoke somewhat apologetically.
“There’s nothing wrong with it.”
Su Ming waved his hand and said.
“Novlin, don’t be so formal with him.
When did you find such a rich and handsome boyfriend?
Good choice!”
Keastin said cheerfully.
“Don’t talk nonsense, we’re not boyfriend and girlfriend.”
Novlin was taken aback, too, glancing back at Su Ming.
It was then that she noticed Su Ming was indeed quite handsome and had an exceptional demeanor.
“Alright, I’ll stop.
But come with me, I’ll take you to the farm.”
Keastin continued cheerfully.
“Great!”
Su Ming and Novlin nodded in agreement.
The three of them then followed Keastin out of the shop and headed towards the farm.
About twenty minutes later, Keastin led Su Ming and Novlin to a large farm built with simple sheet metal.
Before even entering the gate, Su Ming smelled a strong stench wafting towards him.
“Come in with me.
I don’t usually bring people here.”
Keastin said while leading them into the farm.
Upon entering the farm, they faced several huge iron cages, each imprisoning a creature three meters tall, covered with coarse gray sharp fur, with long pig snouts, blood-red eyes, and two protruding fangs.
“Blackhearted pigs!”
Su Ming exclaimed, surprised.
“What blackhearted pigs?
These are Pig Scholar Beasts, this stuff is good.”
Keastin replied irritably.
“No, are you selling us this meat?
Eating too much of it can drive people mad.”
Su Ming asked with a dark expression.
This blackhearted pig was also present in the Federation, and the inferior meat circulated in the Federation market came from these creatures.
Eating this meat could make people extremely irritable and eventually drive them mad, though there were expensive drugs available for treatment.
The meat Su Ming and his group ate was from regular domestic pigs, which, although not fed natural feed, did not have these flaws.
“I know.
The bodily structure of these Pig Scholar Beasts is very special.
They eat anything, even poison doesn’t kill them.
They concentrate all toxins in their brains and then go mad!
The madder they are, the better the meat quality!”
Keastin explained to Su Ming.
“You know this, and you still sell it to us?”
Su Ming asked, puzzled.
“What are you afraid of?
You need to eat a certain amount of this meat to suffer side effects.
Who’s extravagant enough to eat it every day?
You can’t even reach that volume!
Besides, don’t worry, I’m not selling you these.”
Keastin explained to Su Ming.
“Oh, then which ones are you selling to us?”
Su Ming slightly relaxed after hearing Keastin’s explanation.
“I’m selling you this one!”
Keastin pointed to a Pig Scholar Beast kept alone not far away.
Next to this beast, there was a large feed processing machine.
At that moment, a worker maneuvered a mechanical forklift, lifting a five-meter-long dead moth and throwing it into the feed processor.
Boom rumble!
With the roaring sound of the machinery, heaps of Insect Powder poured out.
One by one, the workers poured this Insect Powder into the feed trough of that Pig Scholar Beast.
The beast frantically ate the Insect Powder.
“You’re feeding it Insect Powder?”
Su Ming’s mouth twitched slightly.
“Yeah, don’t underestimate this Insect Powder, it’s high in protein!
If it weren’t for the generous amount of money you provided and Novlin’s influence, I wouldn’t have sold you such good stuff.”
Keastin explained to Su Ming.
“What do you feed the other Pig Scholar Beasts?”
Su Ming keenly sensed something was off.
“They all get Corpse Powder.”
Keastin pointed directly toward bags of Corpse Powder in the corner.
“Corpse Powder?
What is that?”
Su Ming asked with a slight frown.
“Corpse Powder is made from dead monsters, humans, and other corpses.
It’s also known as inferior synthetic powder.”
“You feed them Corpse Powder?”
“Yes, it’s always been like that.
Is there a problem?
Corpse Powder is edible, but bad luck comes with some extra rewards.”
Keastin explained nonchalantly.
Hearing this, Su Ming’s face turned as black as charcoal.
He had experienced a lot, but even his stomach churned instinctively.
From Keastin’s words, Su Ming finally understood how terrible the situation was in the lower ranks of the Dark Star Empire.
Personnel of the Holy Army had to eat Corpse Powder, not to mention the common citizens of the Empire who were worse off than livestock.
“Cough cough, Mr.
Keastin, do you sell any vegetables here?”
Su Ming coughed and asked.
He really couldn’t stomach this.
Hearing Su Ming’s question, Keastin’s eyes widened as if looking at a lunatic.
Then he quickly said to Novlin,
“Lady Novlin, has your friend gone mad, wanting to eat vegetables, something even the lords of the Empire can’t get?
Have you ever eaten it?
I’ve never had a bite in my life.”
