Merchant From Earth in the Magical World

Hearing Yan Xing inquire about the chicken farm, Duan'er immediately reported the situation of caring for the chickens in Eternal Domain over the past few days.

Swamp Werewolves often dealt with the magic beasts in the swamp and knew how to tame and subdue them.

To receive a magic beast chicken from Yan Xing as a gift, Duan'er even personally attended to the chickens at the farm.

The chickens in the Eternal Domain farm had been carefully looked after by Duan'er, and with the addition of feed containing magic elements, five more chickens underwent Demonization.

After reporting on the chicken farm to Yan Xing, Duan'er couldn't help but remark, "Master, the Demonization rate of the chickens in your farm is really too high. It's just a pity that the number of such chickens is too small. If there were more, our advancement into the deeper part of the swamp would surely be much easier."

With a high Demonization rate among the chickens, Yan Xing was of course pleased.

Now, it could basically be confirmed that species brought from the real world seemed to absorb Magic Power and undergo Demonization more easily in the Magic World due to their physical constitution.

Chickens did so.

Horses did as well.

This was good news, as Werewolf Beast Tamers had the ability to tame magic beasts and communicate with them, allowing control over the beasts to implement more complex tactics.

If Eternal Domain could mass-produce magic beasts from Earth species, it would undoubtedly greatly alleviate the problem of weak military forces in the domain.

Yan Xing then asked Duan'er, "What order do those magic beast chickens belong to, and how strong are they?"

Duan'er answered, "Reporting to Master... we have tested the strength of these magic beast chickens. Their offensive and defensive abilities are on par with Fifth Order magic beasts, and they have high resistance to poison, naturally countering poisonous insect-type magic beasts. Consequently, they can easily consume Poison Flies. Among the five demonized chickens, one exhibited Earth System Demonization, and its size became very large."

Yan Xing asked, "Isn't it said that those demonized chickens all have Air System Demonization? How did an Earth System Demonization appear? And if Air System demonized chickens are already big, how much larger can an Earth System demonized one be?"

"Well, Master, at first it was my negligence. I accidentally mixed the Earth System herb intended for the horses into the chicken feed. As a result... one of the chickens experienced an Earth System Demonization. As for how big..." Duan'er pointed out the window of the meeting room, "This big!"

Yan Xing looked out the window following Duan'er's direction.

Isn't that my Battle Griffin... Oh, there's another big fellow with white fur next to it. That thing looks like an ostrich! It's not an ostrich.

It was bigger than an ostrich, with thick legs that made up half its body length, clearly built for powerful running.

In comparison to its legs, its wings had greatly regressed and folded against its sides like decorations.

Its head had also grown significantly in proportion, the shape no longer resembling that of a chicken, but more like a feathered velociraptor. The beak was broader and larger, with the tip curving like that of an eagle's.

The back was flat and had been fitted with a saddle.

Yan Xing exclaimed in surprise, "So this is the Earth System demonized chicken, and it looks like... it could even be ridden?"

As if a secret had been discovered, Duan'er's lone ear folded back in embarrassment as he said, "I'm sorry, Master... I rode out your chicken without permission. But I swear I wasn't stealing it; I just wanted to see what abilities this Earth System demonized chicken had. Li Zhua also rode it; he can vouch for me."

Li Zhua also defended himself, "Yes, Master. After we discovered that this chicken became so large due to the Earth System Demonization, we tried to see if it was rideable. After all, we noticed that chickens demonized with Earth attributes are too docile, lacking the strong desire to attack of those demonized with Air attributes, and they only run... We were just about to send this chicken back to the chicken farm."

Yan Xing didn't pursue the matter of Duan'er and Li Zhua riding his chicken without permission. Instead, he asked, "How are the speed and endurance of an Earth System demonized chicken? Did it panic when you rode it?"

Seeing that Yan Xing didn't blame them, Duan'er's ears perked up again. "Master, ordinary beasts are afraid of us Werewolves, but general magic beasts are not. And this type of chicken, although not belligerent, is not cowardly either; it will peck people if cornered. Li Zhua and I rode it from Eternal Domain to Red Mud Wetland and back. Its endurance for long-distance slow running is not as good as that of a fine warhorse, but it has excellent short-distance burst strength," Duan'er said, his tone full of fondness.

If it weren't for the fact that the chicken farm in Eternal Domain only had this one Earth System demonized chicken, he would definitely have asked for one.

With a mount, who would want to run on two legs?

Unfortunately, the types of mounts suitable for Werewolves to ride are very limited. How could one not like it when they come across one?

For Yan Xing, who had just returned, the Earth System demonized chicken was a pleasant surprise indeed.

Cavalry isn't something you can just establish by constructing a Cavalry recruitment building.

Take, for example, the Human Seventh Order Cavalry Training Field.

Training and recruiting Cavalry in this building does not include the mounts. To obtain complete Cavalry, you need to equip the troops with mounts separately.

Humans need to breed warhorses to provide mounts for their Cavalry, and demonized magic warhorses will be obtained by some powerful Knights.

Another widespread mount for humans is the Griffon.

The group of Sanhe horses that Yan Xing bought was to see if they could adapt to the environment here, in preparation for establishing his own Cavalry in the future.

However, in the real world, there is no longer the military unit called Cavalry, except for small-scale ceremonial Cavalry. Without the demand for warhorses, there is no large-scale breeding and training specifically for them.

After seeing the warhorses ridden by real Cavalry in Nuta City, Yan Xing realized that the batch of Sanhe horses he bought for a few thousand RMB each didn't meet the standards for warhorses if not demonized.

Suitable warhorses, if bought in the real world, would probably cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of RMB each.

After all, scarcity drives up the price.

Not to mention the high cost, the scarcity alone made it impossible for Yan Xing to form a large-scale Cavalry troop.

Even with a high Demonization rate for the Sanhe horses, the population of Sanhe horses in the real world was not sufficient to meet the future mount demand in Eternal Domain.

Initially, Yan Xing was thinking of taking advantage of the honeymoon period with Nuta City to stock up on a batch of warhorses.

But... doesn't Eternal Domain now have its own special mount?

You should know, every year in the real world, 66.57 billion chickens are consumed, with 7 billion eaten in our own country. I've bought some chickens to breed and demonize magic beasts in Eternal Domain. It shouldn't cause the price of chicken to rise, right?

Yan Xing asked Chui Chui to add purchasing meat chickens to his itinerary.

Then, he inquired of Duan'er, "The chickens in my farm undergo Air System Demonization when fed feed containing Air Magic Elemental, and Earth System Demonization with Earth System Magic Elemental feed. How about you also feed them some Fire System Magic Elemental and Water System Magic Elemental feeds? Let's see what kind of Demonization my chickens can achieve?"
