His physical defense, initially 3 points, suddenly became 21 points.
And it critiqued seven times.
Chen Yu couldn't help but think back to when he took the strength potion. Others gained 20 kilograms of strength, but he gained a whopping 200 kilograms.
Did the soul of gluttony crit attributes as well?
Food crit.
Cooking crit.
Now attribute crit.
Chen Yu raised his arm. Although he couldn't see anything special, he felt as if his arm was indeed harder than before.
If he ate it long-term, wouldn't he become indestructible?
Looking at the cheese in the golden box, Chen Yu licked his lips.
Eat!
About half an hour later.
Chen Yu lay on the ground, panting heavily, while Hei Dou lay lazily on the floor of the room, patting its belly with its small paws.
"Big brother, you're amazing!"
"Can't do it anymore, can't do it anymore, not like back then. I can't eat anymore," Chen Yu gasped.
Stuffed.
He really couldn't eat anymore.
Even though he was a glutton, and even though the exquisite cheese was really delicious, sweet but not greasy, eating 12 portions of cheese in one go was still asking for death.
Gluttony still required a gradual approach.
Even if gluttony made you stronger, you couldn't become fat in one meal.
Take it slow.
This wasn't to say it was his last meal.
He could still eat many more meals.
Chen Yu, who had eaten 12 portions of cheese, also discovered a pattern: one portion of cheese provided 3 points of physical defense, and Chen Yu had a chance of attribute crit during consumption.
12 portions crit three times, with a crit rate of 25%.
The multipliers included one instance of +12 physical defense, one of +9, and one of +30. Based on these few samples, the peak multiplier for attribute crit was 10 times.
It was not impossible that there could be higher crit multipliers.
Chen Yu gained quite a bit of attributes from this meal, with his physical defense directly increasing by 96 points.
"I wonder what level 96 defense is," Chen Yu whispered to himself. Hei Dou mumbled, "96 defense. Human base defense, I remember, was about 20 points."
"Oh?"
Chen Yu tilted his head and looked at Hei Dou.
"How do you know?"
"I forgot," Hei Dou spread its paws. "Anyway, I remember it was 20 points. Adult Scaled Bulls have a defense of 400 points, which is 20 times that of humans."
Hiss!
No wonder Chen Yu's sword couldn't cut the Scaled Bull.
400 defense points.
Who could cut through that?
It was fortunate that Chen Yu's fist strength was astonishing.
If human defense was 20 points, then Chen Yu's current base of 20 points plus 96 points meant his physical defense was now 5 times that of a normal person.
So tough?
He glanced at his arm. This must be what they call being as hard as rock.
So hard.
So hard, who could withstand it?
15 portions of cheese.
The cheese box was already empty.
The last portion was given to Hei Dou.
The man and the cat lay on the ground like this.
Not bad.
The upgraded camp was equipped with a damaged fire elemental array, making the floor of the room feel like it had underfloor heating, with a bit of warmth.
Chen Yu rested for a few minutes, then got up by pushing himself off the ground with his hands.
He looked at Hei Dou, who was still lying lazily.
He nudged it with his toe.
"Hei Dou, don't be lazy here. Let's go for a walk," Chen Yu whispered. "If you keep lying around like this, you'll become a fat cat."
"So full."
Hei Dou mumbled and crawled up.
Its small belly looked as if it were ten months pregnant, swaying back and forth as it walked.
It was a good thing it was a male cat.
If it were a female cat, Chen Yu would have had trouble explaining if someone saw them.
Before leaving the room, Chen Yu poured another 2700 into the cheese maker.
It required quite a bit of elemental fragments and soul remnants, needing both earth and fire elemental fragments.
Not easy to get.
Although Perfect Sets were guaranteed to be perfect upon crafting, they required higher materials compared to random chance blueprints. For those with bad luck, blueprints with guaranteed stat prefixes were better.
For some chosen ones, those blessed with extreme luck, such guaranteed blueprints might be a bit of a loss.
Chen Yu didn't doubt that such people existed in this world.
Those who were truly blessed by heaven.
When they obtained blueprints, everything they made turned out to be perfect or legendary. The world was so big, Chen Yu believed such people definitely existed.
Chen Yu didn't consider himself particularly unlucky.
Nor was he particularly lucky.
Being able to craft perfect-grade blueprints directly, he was quite satisfied.
Most importantly...
These were blueprints!
Not consumable crafting diagrams.
He could sell these perfect-grade equipment in the future and believed many people would like them.
Food suppressed the bottom market, while equipment dominated the elite market.
Perfect!
Before that, Chen Yu should get a set for himself.
A hemp cloth shirt.
It didn't match his aura.
Chen Yu wondered if the Adventurer Gale Sword had any relation to the Adventurer Set, or if it could be considered part of a set.
He guessed it was unlikely.
Sets were perfect grade, while the Adventurer Gale Sword was of random grade.
It couldn't match the tier of a perfect set.
"Boss, there are no more fish."
Hei Dou stood by the riverbank and shouted. Chen Yu walked over and looked at the fish on the ground.
[Earth Lake Fish: Common fish found in caves. Relatively low difficulty to catch. With enough patience, a few can be caught.]
A total of 16 fish.
Seeing this number, Chen Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
There was a limit to catching fish.
Last night, Hei Dou caught 4 fish and roasted them. Today, it caught 16 fish and was not allowed to catch any more.
It seemed that resource acquisition in the cave space had an upper limit.
It wouldn't reset the acquisition amount due to the alternation of day and night.
This was not surprising.
If resource acquisition reset, what if someone constantly stayed there to exploit a bug? Who would explore caves anymore? Everyone would just find a lake or sea to fish.
He stored the live fish in his bracelet.
Chen Yu thought that once water resources were abundant in the future, he would need to get a fish tank to keep the fish alive and make life less tedious by raising fish.
The cave exploration invitation had been issued.
It was time to explore.
[Your left side is empty.]
[Your right side is occupied by an earth lizard, emitting a strong aura, as if in heat.]
[Beneath your feet, there is the scent of a horned earth mouse.]
[Above your head, there is the smell of iron, very strong, likely an iron ore deposit.]
[Behind you is a plain, nothing special.]
He didn't go forward.
Ahead was a vast, boundless lake.
Chen Yu would have to swim across.
He considered his swimming skills to be average and wouldn't take such a risk.
"Dare you go to the beast room!" Hei Dou suddenly looked up and said, "I want to prove to you that I'm a spirit beast, not a fishing tool."
Chen Yu looked down.
If it were in the past, he would have definitely gone to mine the iron ore.
Hei Dou had actually volunteered.
He wanted to go to the beast room.
The stock of soul remnants was insufficient. To craft perfect sets, over a dozen soul remnants were needed. Currently, trading was restricted, and Chen Yu needed to acquire some soul remnants himself.
Otherwise, his water condenser and cheese maker would also lack energy.
"Earth lizard, horned earth mouse, who can you beat?"
"Huh?!" Hei Dou acted as if it had heard something incredibly unbelievable, its eyes wide. "Boss, are you insulting me? If those two were tied together, I'd let them have one leg each, alright?"
Hei Dou's expression was as arrogant as it could get.
Arrogant to the extreme.
Chen Yu smiled slightly and looked at the glowing portal leading down, which was only a few meters away.
"You said it. If you can't beat them, don't blame me for beating you."
"Heh..." Hei Dou said with disdain, "If I can't beat them, I'm not worthy of being a spirit beast. Let's go... Today, I must prove myself. I, Hei Dou, am a combat spirit pet, not a resource pet!!!"
A desperate roar came from Hei Dou's mouth.
Chen Yu nodded slightly.
He grasped the Adventurer Gale Sword and walked to the glowing portal.
"Then I'll give you this chance to prove yourself. Don't disappoint me."
