My troops evolve infinitely

and many more!

"This... this is the scorpion leg of a highly poisonous armored scorpion!"

The chef has been in the business for decades and has never encountered such a serious accident.

Swallowing a poisonous armored scorpion alive would kill you instantly! Even a legendary being would suffer from vomiting and diarrhea, becoming listless and listless.

Dolai's face was rosy.

In the blink of an eye, Dolai snapped off a huge scorpion leg.

Duolai wiped his mouth and said, "I never get tired of this snack no matter how many times I eat it."

The chef looked at the giant scorpion in front of him and began to think.

bang——

A small giant assistant who had taken a bite of a fresh scorpion leg turned blue-purple on his face, his whole body stiffened and trembled twice, then he fell to the ground with a thud.

"This is Dolai, the gourmet from our territory." Lu Liu introduced.

The chef's understanding and experience in cooking monsters is far beyond Dolai's reach.

Dolai's specialty is simply controlling the heat, and its processing of ingredients is very simple. Of course, high-end ingredients often require only simple processing. For Dolai, removing toxins and eliminating impurities is unimportant; it absorbs everything in one gulp.

For the chef, Dolai's knowledge of all kinds of monster ingredients - their shape, taste, nutrition, and evaluation - amazed him.

The chef is keen on developing all kinds of new monster ingredients.

However, this is not an easy process.

Monsters often mutate. Which part of their body has the potential to be developed and what kind of processing procedures are needed to cleanse the filth... All these require the chef to spend a long time studying and trial and error.

The scales on his face, the filthy marks on his hands, and the scarlet dots in his eyes were all the contamination wounds accumulated in the process of discovering new food ingredients.

This cannot be avoided.

Even so, the chef had only developed over 300 monster recipes to date. Through Dolai's descriptions, he discovered that some monster parts he had previously considered worthless could potentially be processed into high-end ingredients.

"My vision is still too narrow!"

He looked at Duolai and said, "Master Duolai, if your lord does not abandon us, we are willing to serve you."

……

"Hint: You've recruited the special citizens 'Monster Chef Butcher', 'Big Stomach', 'Little Cockroach', and so on."

-

Pao Tu is a powerful warrior who is at the fourth level, level 3, and of the excellent two-star grade.

Even in Tianyuan Territory, Pao Tu's combat power can be ranked among the top...top 100.

The butcher has several special skill entries.

"Master Cooking (Light Blue), Monster Chef (Dark Blue), Advanced Hunting (Green), Wilderness Survival (Green),..."

The butcher obviously has normal cooking skills, and they are quite high.

However, the cooking skills in the mortal world can only cook delicious dishes, and do not have the ability to sublimate or transform decay into something magical, so the rating will not be too high.

The monster chef is probably a secondary profession like the pharmacist, blacksmith, enchanter, alchemist, etc., which involves extraordinary elements.

Pao Tu is the genius chef in the culinary world, but he specializes in cooking monsters and is particularly good and insightful in this area.

Mu Yuan can understand.

I'm not averse to monster ingredients either.

He was from Xuan Country. The people of Baiyun Prefecture in Xuan Country also claimed that everything was edible.

He had tasted some monster delicacies before, of course, mostly the earth dragon, the flame dragon, the thunder two-headed bull and the like, which were very tempting just by looking at them.

These 'food monsters' have long been included in Taixuan's list of edible monsters.

Their meat is juicy and delicious, and most parts of their bodies are edible, making them easy to prepare. Mu Yuan's early years at the Rock Dragon Restaurant were inspired by the recipes in the Taixuan recipe book. Otherwise, how could he dare to eat them casually... well, it seems he dares.

This is not the case with the more than 300 recipes that the chef has researched.

These recipes were all for 'non-ingredient monsters'. He classified 'ingredient monsters' as regular ingredients.

"A Hundred Poisons Collection (Green): Fight poison with poison, and poison will not poison you. Consuming this dish permanently increases your resistance to poison."

"Gazing into the Abyss (Green): The abyss gazes upon you, and you gaze upon the abyss. Eating this dish permanently increases your spiritual strength."

"Mercury Worm Egg Soup", "Lava Explosion Soup", "Eyeball Platter", ...

Every dish is a work of art.

It also has quite artistic dish names.

Mu Yuan: "..."

"But to be honest, these dishes sound creepy and look a little creepy, but they taste pretty good."

Even if we put aside the taste, the effects of permanently improving mental strength, poison resistance, etc. are enough to attract people.

Potions that could permanently improve a specific statistic were already quite rare. When a wealthy lord drank such a potion, he wasn't in a position to be picky about the taste; he was simply grateful to have it at all.

The chef's dishes are not only as effective as medicine, but also have a unique taste.

Mu Yuan can say that the taste of these dishes made by the chef is different from mainstream dishes, but it cannot be denied that they are delicious.

"Chef Chef's dishes are like potions; the benefits they bring decrease sharply the more times you consume them."

A potion with a permanent boosting effect, effective within three uses. Beyond three uses, its effectiveness is significantly reduced. Beyond ten uses, no amount of guzzling will have any effect, unless the user possesses a devouring talent similar to Dorae's.

The same goes for monster dishes. The best dietary effect is achieved when the same dish is consumed no more than three times.

"But compared to potions, the chef's cooking has another advantage..."

The chef has so many recipes!

The chef has twenty-one recipes that can permanently enhance mental strength.

Is the effect of the food decreasing after eating too much? Why not try a different monster ingredient?

What the Eternal World lacks the least is a variety of monsters.

"Now that the territory is open to supplying ingredients and experimental materials to the chef, and with Duolai, a superb food connoisseur... the chef's speed in developing new ingredients will undoubtedly be far greater than before."

“The recipe is promising.”

……

By the time night fell, the effect of the third refugee recruitment ticket finally disappeared.

Outside the city, there was no more white fog and refugees, but the city was still very busy and bustling.

More than 10,000 refugees entered Tianyuan Territory, bringing many difficulties to management.

Generals and officials such as Lu Liu were somewhat flustered.

Isloya had no experience dealing with this kind of situation. However, with her exceptionally high CPU and her avatars capable of handling affairs independently, she managed to keep the situation under control.

Lord Mu controlled the overall situation and checked the information of each talent.

It seemed like in the blink of an eye, the sky brightened.

They haven't slept for three days and three nights.

But it doesn't matter. He is still energetic and feels that staying up all night for a few more days is not a problem.

"Territory population: 31233 / 30000 (√)"

"Ding!"

"Hint: Tianyuan Territory has met all promotion requirements. Do you want to spend 500 soul crystals to start the promotion trial?"

Mu Yuan did not choose to open it immediately.

In the territory, every general, including himself, needed to take a short rest.

He felt that he was in high spirits and full of confidence, but maintaining the best condition to overcome the difficulties was a basic requirement of a stable spirit.

"Just... rest for four hours."

"You can't rest completely either. Let's open a training room and use meditation to replace sleep."

Within the territory, all departments are still operating at full capacity.

The newcomers who have just obtained the status of Tianyuan people have been allocated housing, received clothes, and assigned to work teams. Under the leadership of the old people, they are starting a new life and welcoming new work.

They either enter farms, ranches, mills, or forges, alchemy workshops, canteens and restaurants. The latter mostly have skills and are talents who performed well in previous interviews.

These workers who went to various units only accounted for a minority of the new residents.

The remaining new residents turned into bricklayers and began to work tirelessly. The vast majority of them worked very hard, because they knew that these new houses would become their own homes.

They are not building houses for the lord, but for themselves. How can they not work hard?

Thanks to their busy schedules and exhausting physical energy, conflicts among these newlyweds were rare. The few that did occur were quickly resolved through the security team's mediation, both verbal and physical persuasion.

Four hours later, Mu Yuan woke up from his meditation.

He opened the panel and took a look.

"Territory Public Sentiment Index: 72.5%." (√)

"Territory safety index: 92.8%." (√)

These are the other two basic conditions for territory promotion, both of which require more than 60% to be met.

The public sentiment index inevitably dropped sharply with the influx of a large number of new subjects. This item can only rise slowly in the coming period.

Safety Index...

Mu Yuan doesn't think Tianyuan Territory is safe.

Hundreds of kilometers to the north, the battle was still going on, and the elite troops of Tianyuan Territory were occasionally injured.

To the south, they also discovered more and more active traces of snake people.

He felt that the crisis was right at his doorstep.

but,

Perhaps, according to the laws of heaven and earth, the safety index of a Level 4 territory only measures the area within a hundred kilometers, or even closer? Who would dare to confront a monster overlord thousands of kilometers away head-on?
