Hannibal, of noble upbringing, was taught from a young age to maintain elegance. Even after the deaths of his parents and sister, such elegance was not forgotten by Hannibal. On the contrary, it was branded onto him in some form. Such a form, laypeople cannot understand. How can mortals comprehend a predator? How can that utterly defenseless food even be considered edible? Even those who consider themselves noble are nothing but a void! Only those reborn from the void can truly be called human. And when Hannibal offered to cook, how could Jason have any reason to refuse? He just sat there, watching Hannibal fry, stir-fry, boil, deep-fry, and grill. The ‘food’ in the ice chamber was turned into dish after dish and served on the table. Jason was so immersed that he couldn’t help himself. He ate one after another. His speed never slowed. In fact, it only got faster. Facing this scene, Hannibal became more and more excited. The more ‘food’ Jason could eat, the more it proved the accuracy of his choice. Although he was somewhat unaccustomed to his ten years’ supply of ‘food’ being devoured in one go, watching Jason wolf it down made that feeling quickly disappear. Moreover, in his mind, Hannibal was already considering whether to hunt a few more servings of his ‘livestock’ earlier than planned. [You have consumed a large amount of essence from various foods!] [Determined to have been expertly prepared by a culinary master, satiety gain increased by 5%!] [Physical strength, vitality, and injury recovery greatly exceeded expectations] After swallowing the last portion of food, detailed text began to appear in front of Jason’s eyes. A satiety of 99 was undoubtedly the largest amount he had gained at one time up to now. But what he paid more attention to was: ‘Culinary skill’! Master-level cooking could actually increase satiety gain. This was something Jason had never considered before. He must learn cooking skills! Jason reminded himself. Then, he confirmed something else: Eating food caught by someone else decreased satiety gain! He had already felt this way back in ‘Hans Port.’ And this time, he was certain of it. After all, according to his previous hunting, just one ‘Pusack Elf’ brought in 12 points of satiety. Just now, he had eaten at least two, along with other ‘food’ that was no less delicious than the ‘Pusack Elf.’ By normal estimates, he should have gained at least 400+ satiety. But now it was only 99. And there was no sense of Excitement of Feast at all. “Must I personally hunt for food?” Jason silently pondered. Then, Jason opened the skill panel. Prior to this, he was concerned about the ‘undying’ trait depleting satiety, but now, with a large amount of satiety gained, it was natural to want to strengthen himself. [Protection Against Evil], which required 30 points of satiety and 5 points of Excitement of Feast, was of course the skill Jason most wanted to upgrade. However, with only 4 points of Excitement of Feast, he had to change his goal: to choose skills that required satiety but not Excitement of Feast, and that could offer a direct increase. The [Griffin Body Refinement Technique], which could improve strength, agility, and constitution, as well as increase the recovery speed of physical strength, vitality, and injury, was naturally his first choice. [Upgrade Griffin Body Refinement Technique (Basic → Beginner), requires 10 points of satiety] Compared to [Protection Against Evil] at 6 points, it was 4 points higher. Clearly, the upgrade would consume more satiety due to the changes that occurred when combining it with [Protection Against Evil]. Jason wasn’t surprised by this. He chose to upgrade right away. [Griffin Body Refinement Technique (Beginner): This is the core secret technique of the Griffin School. Mastering it means that you have become a core disciple of the Griffin School. However, its practice is very difficult and requires not only exceptional talent but also a lot of time. But for you, with outstanding talents, these are unnecessary. Furthermore, the integration of the Night Watcher’s traits has brought many changes to it, making it even more extraordinary; Effects: Strength, Agility, Constitution +0.2 (Basic, Beginner), Physical Strength Recovery Speed +6%, Vitality Recovery Speed +4%, Injury Recovery Speed +2%] (Note: The unique training method makes it extraordinary, and also more special. The level of the[Griffin Body Refinement Technique] cannot surpass that of [Protection Against Evil].) The instant strength Jason felt made his presence change, becoming sharper and filled with more pressure. Hannibal, standing by, keenly noticed this change. But he wasn’t surprised at all. You’re supposed to get stronger after eating ‘food.’ That was how it was for him.
