Chapter 40 Full and Satisfied

"""

Through the active state of the Evil God Text, Chen Meng knew that someone must have held a ritual in the sewers prior to this.

However, by the time she arrived, the cultists had already disappeared.

If they had escaped, Chen Mo would certainly have mentioned it. Since Chen Mo didn't say anything, it meant he had them under control.

Chen Mo wasn't surprised by this, and replied:

"I'll hand them over to the Spirit Control Bureau as soon as possible."

Since there was no good reason to explain keeping the fugitives privately, Chen Mo simply didn't explain at all.

Anyway, he would deliver these four cult members to the Spirit Control Bureau soon enough.

But the method was a bit special, that's all.

Chen Meng didn't pursue it further and left on her Light Unicorn.

After dealing with the remnants of the Four Gods Sect, Chen Mo prepared to head to the Thunderbolt Daoist School first.

First, he would return the Space Bracelet to his senior brother.

He hadn't had time to return it after being busy with challenges yesterday.

At this moment, the Isolated Island Spirit within Heart of the Sea made a humming noise.

"Oooo—" (Hungry, food~)

Chen Mo was taken aback; had Xinghai's tone changed to this just after watching animated cartoons for a day?

"I'll go prepare food for you."

Just the thought of having to prepare food every day for the Isolated Island Spirit gave Chen Mo a headache.

What is the biggest drawback of raising an Isolated Island Spirit?

It's costly!

The creature eats an average of 3 tons of fish and shrimp every day, costing around 50 to 60 thousand yuan.

Although Chen Mo earned quite a bit from this training journey, it wouldn't be enough for the Isolated Island Spirit to splurge for a few months.

Now Chen Mo especially hoped he could draw an "Inedia" Entry to install on Xinghai.

Looking at his account balance, Chen Mo suddenly remembered that He Siyao still owed him 750,000.

"Could that guy be thinking about not paying?"

So Chen Mo sent He Siyao an emoji of "send money," unexpectedly the other side transferred all the remaining money at once.

"Sorry, sorry, I was a bit busy yesterday and forgot to transfer the rest to you. This cooperation was very pleasant, let's cooperate again if there's a chance in the future!"

After getting first place in this trial, He Siyao's father was so happy that he gave her 3 million in pocket money directly, so after deducting the commission for Chen Mo, she actually made a small profit.

She completely won big!

It would be nice to have a few more of these training sessions!

———————————————

Shenghai City is a coastal city, and after about half an hour's taxi ride, Chen Mo arrived at the seaside port.

"It's a pity I don't have a fishing license, otherwise I could just let the creature loose in the sea to hunt freely."

Chen Mo lamented.

After sweeping away all the large fish and shrimp sold by the nearby fish vendors, Chen Mo went to the supermarket to buy a large barbecue grill and various seasonings.

Then he started a fire for a barbecue.

He had promised to let the creature "eat good and drink well" in the future!

1 hour later.

After eating up all the fish and shrimp, Xinghai was barely full.

A "fountain" rose from the center of the island, symbolizing the good mood of the creature now.

Generally speaking, spraying water is a way for the Isolated Island Spirit to express joy, the higher the "fountain", the more excited the Isolated Island Spirit is.

"How do other Spirit Masters solve the problem of feeding an Isolated Island Spirit?"

Chen Mo started to have trouble, so he searched the Spirit Master's official website for how to raise an Isolated Island Spirit.

But the result was no information.

The Isolated Island Spirit was simply too rare.

Moreover, even if any Spirit Master had contracted with an Isolated Island Spirit, they would be high-level Spirit Masters or above, who would not post such issues online.

Chen Mo then searched topics like how to feed large Spiritual Beasts and this time he indeed found a solution.

The answer was Spirit Chef!

There is a high-level technique in the food category called "Full Belly" which can enhance the energy, protein, nutrients, etc., in food by hundreds or even thousands of times without increasing its volume, especially for the convenience of feeding large-sized Spiritual Beasts.

Many online Spirit Chef shops had this product for sale, and they even accepted food customization orders.

Meaning customers could designate a specific food, have "Full Belly" applied to it, and then delivered.

Of course, food with "Full Belly" wasn't cheap, processing fees alone could range from 10,000 to 50,000 yuan, but it was convenient.

And compared to feeding fish and shrimp daily, it could save quite a bit of money.

"There is actually such a good thing!"

The "well-off" Chen Mo immediately ordered 30 Mirror Lake Shrimps with "Full Belly," a delicious shrimp from the Spirit Realm.

Just like that, just buying one month's worth of food for the Isolated Island Spirit cost Chen Mo 900,000.

In the afternoon, Chen Mo returned to the Thunderbolt Daoist School, handed back the Space Bracelet to his senior brother, and then entered the meditation room for meditation, while Xiao Jiu went to train at the Thunder Training Ground.

During this period, whenever the cultists and their Spiritual Beasts showed signs of waking up, Chen Mo let the Blazing Flame Fox hit them with an "electric bomb."

It's unclear whether Blazing Flame Fox's electric bomb wasn't powerful enough or if these cultists and their Spiritual Beasts had too good physiques.

Throughout the afternoon, they were electrocuted more than a dozen times.

On the last occasion, one of the cultists managed to utter a sentence with sheer willpower — "Don't zap me yet!"

Then the next second, a purple electric sphere struck his chest, and the strong electric current peacefully put him "to sleep" again.

...

Time flew by, and it was soon nighttime.

Chen Mo disguised himself, wearing a full black night outfit, and headed straight for the Spirit Control Bureau.

Compared to the daytime, the Spirit Control Bureau was much quieter at night. Other than on-duty officers, almost no one else was there.

This also made things much easier for Chen Mo, who found a dark corner and took a large delivery box out of the Ocean Pearl.

Inside was one of the cultists and his Spiritual Beast, plus a small speaker.

To prevent any incidents like the cultist waking up and escaping midway, Chen Mo had Blazing Flame Fox zap with another electric sphere before leaving.

And this time it was a strengthened version!

Chen Mo gently placed the box down, then pressed the play button on the speaker.

"You are the most beautiful at the edge of the sky..."

The officer on duty had just brewed a pot of tea to start his night shift when the sound of a certain catchy song reached his ears.

"Who is it! Playing music on their phone in the middle of the night?"

Since the sound was very close, after it continued for more than ten seconds, he felt something was not quite right, so he stepped out of the duty room and saw a delivery box inexplicably appear in a place dozens of meters away.

The music was coming from that delivery box.

"A bomb? A killer's letter of provocation?"

In a split second, the officer thought of many things.

For safety's sake, he let his Spiritual Beast, Little Flame Dog, go for help inside the bureau.

Quickly, several on-duty officers at the Spirit Control Bureau converged on the duty room.

One of the officers' Spiritual Beasts was a Rock Armor Guardian, with strong defensive power. After using defensive techniques like Hardening and Rock Shield, the Rock Armor Guardian slowly approached the box.

Then the Rock Armor Guardian showed a strange expression.

"Gah?"

Inside the box was a comatose person, a plague crow, and a small speaker continuously playing music.
