Chapter 95 - How Hardworking a Glutton is (2/2)

“Not bad, not bad!”

After taking the beast cards off the Gluttony Monkey’s palms, Zhang Che tore the Purple-Eyed Fox in two and gave half to the frisky monkey. The latter immediately brought the golden brown roasted meat up to its mouth and started devouring it, looking like he was possessed by a hungry ghost.

“Two three-star bronze cards, one three-star black iron card, and one two-star bronze card. A decent harvest!”

After looking through the newly acquired cards’ attributes, Zhang Che nodded in satisfaction. As he was about to grab his backpack by the side, he suddenly froze on the spot.

He discovered that the Gluttony Monkey’s hands were already empty, while his mouth was still chewing, his rounded eyes staring at the remaining roasted meat.

“Did you finish all of that? With the freaking bones and all?”

This frisky monkey’s astonishing eating speed really surprised Zhang Che. That piece of roasted meat weighed several kilograms, and he actually finished it so quickly. Did he even take two minutes to finish it?

The Gluttony Monkey’s mouth moved a little, and he spat out a piece of bone, as if to protest, I’m not a dog, why would I be eating bones!?

Zhang Che looked at the unfinished Purple-Eyed Fox thigh in his hand, before silently handing the remaining half of the roasted meat to the Gluttony Monkey.

“Eat, you glutton! This is the last of it, no more.”

The Gluttony Monkey was very obedient; in less than two minutes, the remaining roasted meat was all in his stomach, with a small pile of bones spat out to the side.

“It seems like your name is really well-deserved,” Zhang Che shook his head. He brought the unfinished thigh up, ignoring the frisky monkey’s anticipating looks at him and continued enjoying the cuisine slowly.

-I really can’t give you this thigh. Wouldn’t I have to go hungry otherwise?-

“Zhizhi!”

“What is it now?” Zhang Che looked up. He realized that the Gluttony Monkey was carrying the Falling Star Model X on his back, and a quiver in his hand.

-What the heck? Is this glutton thinking of hunting another Purple-Eyed Fox, and getting me to become his cook?-

Zhang Che’s mind nearly crumbled at the thought of it.

“Go, go, all of this is karma. Why did I eye on your potential and take you in?” Zhang Che waved his hand weakly. The frisky monkey immediately cried out excitedly, dashing in the direction of the hilly area from before. This glutton remembered clearly that he had shot the Purple-Eyed Fox in that area.

The frisky monkey quickly disappeared into the distance. Zhang Che revealed a faint, warm smile. -Although this fellow is a little playful, and a little bit of a glutton, this way is much better than subdued beasts that only follow orders like robots.-

Although the subdued beasts probably had a little awareness, they weren’t considered truly alive. Apart from obeying orders and using their abilities to hunt exotic beasts, they weren’t able to interact much with their owner.

If one didn’t have an interesting partner in this desolate beast world while hunting, it was very easy to become depressed. Since he had the rainbow crystal and was able to take in some exotic beasts as pets, Zhang Che didn’t have to worry about his psychological wellbeing.

The dark gradually darkened. The frisky monkey finally returned after slightly less than half an hour, with plenty of trophies in tow. The bow and arrows were slung on his back, and he was carrying half a dozen Purple-Eyed Foxes with both hands.

-Now, who exactly was the one who invented the idiom, ‘happy to partake, but not prepared to do any work’?

-Come take a look at my little frisky monkey. Have you ever seen such a hardworking glutton?-
