Looking at those braised back boars eating so deliciously, it's quite a sight to see pigs eating pork chops.

Linn stealthily approached a Gourmet Tree without any braised back boars around it. Standing beneath the tree, the aroma of fried pork cutlets was even more intense, and saliva involuntarily flowed as he gazed at the rows of golden-brown cutlets.

It smelled so good! Seeing that no braised back boars were paying attention, Linn leaped up gently and quietly took a cutlet.

Looking at the fragrant, colorful, and flavorful fried pork cutlet in his hand, Linn took a bite. Mmm~, it was still warm, and so fragrant and delicious—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. Fragrant, truly fragrant.

One was not nearly enough. He ate two or three more before finally feeling satisfied. Now he could consider how to bring this fried pork cutlet forest into his possession. Based on the situation with the Magic Fragrance Orchard, those braised back boars were probably the owners of this fried pork cutlet forest.

Oh right, there seemed to be a system notification just now. Linn opened the system page to check.

[System: Congratulations, you have discovered a medium-sized Gourmet Tree—Fried Pork Cutlet Forest]

Name: Gourmet Tree—Fried Pork Cutlet Forest {Medium}

Category: Crops

Effects: Fried Pork Cutlets, Braised Back Boars

{Braised Back Boars are companion beasts of the Fried Pork Cutlet Forest, and also its guardians}

Status: Unoccupiable {Owned}

Hmm...

Owned?, Probably by those braised back boars.

Peeking out, he looked at the braised back boars that were either eating or sleeping, and used Appraisal on them.

Name: Braised Back Boar {Tier 3}

Physique: 256

Strength: 272

Agility: 234

Spirit: 204

Skills: Savage Charge, Delicious Enhancement

{Braised Back Boars within the range of the Gourmet Tree—Fried Pork Cutlet Forest receive Delicious Enhancement}

.....

Delicious Enhancement?, What kind of skill is that? Does it make them taste even better?.

Hmm, holy crap, this one is too big, more than twice the size of the surrounding braised back boars. Is it a leader?, Let me take a look, Appraisal.

Oh, ho, it really is. And as long as I kill it, I can bring the fried pork cutlet forest and these braised back boars into my Home.

Just Tier 4, I can easily kill it.

After looking around, Linn took out the Great Dragon Fang and flew into the air. The braised back boar leader was surrounded by empty space, isn't this just giving me a place to avoid hurting the other braised back boars?

Flying in mid-air, the great sword in his hand began to glow with sparks of fire. The Explosive Flame Slash began to gather, and looking at the flames surrounding the sword, feeling the increasingly hot sensation, it was almost ready. One move to kill it, so that my fried pork cutlet forest can suffer less damage.

Oh, I can't wait, the braised back boars below have already begun to stir restlessly.

Aiming, charging, like a celestial fire descending from the sky, directly towards the braised back boar leader below.

Bang~~

Putting away the Great Dragon Fang, he stood up, looking at the blackened, utterly dead braised back boar leader. Before the other boars could react, Linn directly collected it.

Huff~, as the Gourmet Tree—Fried Pork Cutlet Forest disappeared, the pungent aroma gradually dissipated.

Without the Gourmet Tree, this cave instantly became ordinary.

Looking around, after confirming there was nothing else, Linn first manifested his Home, then thought for a moment and directly placed the newly acquired fried pork cutlet forest in the Demon Space. He chose a location, modified it to prevent the aroma from spreading out, and then set it down.

.....

Shirley suddenly felt a change in the space and came out of the tavern with some curiosity. The changes in the space were basically caused by Linn, wondering what that kid was up to.

Hmm?, When did this canyon appear here?, Shirley walked in curiously, wondering why Linn made a canyon.

What's that smell?, It's so fragrant. She sniffed, and the aroma was coming from the canyon. Now even more curious, Shirley quickly ran towards the canyon.

Whoa, what the hell, why are fried pork cutlets growing on trees?, Looking at the rows of golden-brown, steaming fried pork cutlets, although she couldn't understand why these trees grew fried pork cutlets, the pungent aroma almost made Shirley drool.

She instantly arrived at a tree, picked one off. It smelled very good, but she wondered how it tasted.

Mmm~~.

Delicious.

One adult-sized fried pork cutlet after another quickly disappeared. Hmm?, Shirley, who was eating happily, suddenly felt the tree begin to shake. Looking down, *slurp*~, she almost drooled again.

Her eyes gleamed as she stared at the braised back meat of the braised back boars that were ramming into the tree below.

.....

Ignoring Shirley drooling over the braised back boars, Linn, after settling the fried pork cutlet forest, asked the Stone Wall again and began to head towards the next cave.

Bang~~.

Every time he sees that one tap directly solves the Stone Wall problem, this plain-looking True-Pickaxe, effortlessly tapping once, Linn can't help but sigh.

Walking in, he first observed the surroundings. The East Stone Wall said there was a ruin here?, It seems to be blocked by a huge rock?.

Hmm, oh, I see it. I didn't expect the rock to be so big. Looking at the huge rock in the distance, Linn thought, holding the pickaxe that he hadn't put away yet.

Now that he saw the target, Linn walked towards the target. On the way, he opened his backpack to take a look. Hmm, he'd mined quite a few ores and gems, even more than a dozen space stones. His Home could be upgraded to Level 4. He wondered if it could be upgraded to Level 5?.

He arrived. Looking at the rock in front of him, he gently tapped it with the pickaxe, bang~.

[System: Stone *100]

[System: Energy Core *10]

Linn [・ヘ・?]

I can understand having 100 stones, after all, this rock is quite large, but what the heck is an energy core?.

As the rock collapsed, the entrance to the ruin was revealed. A wave of energy emanated from within. Feeling the energy wave, Linn now understood why the rock could produce energy cores.

Just the energy emanating from it was enough for an ordinary rock to form an energy core. Then how dense must the energy be beneath this ruin?.

Linn looked inside curiously, only seeing a corner. He felt that this ruin was of a very high level, not something that should appear at this stage.

Curious, he wanted to go in and take a look, but first, he should prepare.

Linn opened his backpack and took out the Dragon Set to put on.

Name: Dragon Set {Tier 6}

Category: Armor

Effects: All Attributes +500, Dragon Soul

{I seem to see a dragon, its Dragon Soul swimming within}

Aren't the attributes awesome?, But unfortunately, I can only unleash half of its power, so it only adds 250.

I need to reach Tier 6 before I can fully control it. I'm not there yet.

Although he didn't understand why he could directly control those Tier 6 weapons, hmm~, maybe it was the Dragon's pride?. They died, not to mention being made into equipment, would they still be arrogant?.
