My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Possessing a treasure invites disaster. It would only lead to trouble and misfortune.

In his past life, many Extraordinary Beings had fought to the death over these items, killing for treasure...

The video of him beheading the wild boar with one strike had become even more popular, and Li Xiang’s follower count had already surpassed 800,000. When some fans learned that Li Xiang had already ”prepared” the boar and posted photos of the curing meat, they asked if they could buy some.

The wild boar meat was a deep red color with plenty of lean muscle and not much fat, making it look very appetizing.

With the severe snowstorms continuing, prices were soaring. Regular pork had already shot up to 50 yuan per pound, and the price of wild boar meat naturally rose with it.

In the past, wild boar meat was already about three to eight times more expensive than domestic pork, with prices fluctuating based on region and market conditions.

Li Xiang set the price at 160 yuan per pound for the smoked wild boar meat, which was a bargain. Fans were clamoring for it, but since delivery services hadn’t resumed yet, he could only accept pre-orders for now. The quantity was also limited; he would only supply about 100 pounds.

He only had a little over 380 pounds of fresh meat to begin with. Smoking would cause it to shrink by an estimated 40-50%, leaving him with about 200 pounds. He planned to give 50 pounds to his Little Aunt, keep 50 pounds for himself, and sell 100 pounds, which would earn him around 16,000 yuan.

Some fans did the math for Li Xiang and were extremely envious.

With prices skyrocketing, Li Xiang not only got to eat freshly butchered wild boar for free, but he could also sell it for profit. The key was that it wasn’t farmed; it was a ”mountain delicacy” from the deep mountains.

Wild boar is indeed a mountain delicacy. Its meat has a unique texture and is rich in nutrients. Because the boars are constantly active in the wild and eat a healthier diet, their meat is much chewier than domestic pork. While it can have a gamey taste, that’s easily eliminated by flash-frying it with dried red chilies and other strong spices. A fragrant dish of stir-fried wild boar with dried red chilies could make someone who normally eats one bowl of rice devour several more.

It was just that making smoked meat was a lengthy process. The boar meat needed to be cured, then air-dried, and then he had to cut pine branches to smoke it. Fortunately, with delivery services still suspended, there was no rush.

The second item rewarded by the system was three Tier Five Mutated Spirit Grasses: Purple Profound Truffles. They were essentially Black Truffles, but at the Mutated Spirit Grass level—and a relatively high Tier Five at that.

The best he had ever obtained before was a Tier One Spirit Grass. The Medicinal Power of this Tier Five item was no small matter.

Jiang Cai’Er had only just started her training, and his grandmother was an ordinary elderly woman. Li Xiang didn’t dare give it to them, fearing they couldn’t withstand the violent Medicinal Power of a Tier Five Spiritual Medicine. So, this time, he had to eat it all himself.

He simply roasted them over a charcoal fire and then ate them raw, chewing on them like steamed buns. The fragrance lingered in his mouth.

He had to admit, Tier Five was incredible. Potent waves of Medicinal Power were absorbed into his body, making him feel hot all over. After eating all three, he couldn’t take it anymore. He jumped into the yard and went through a set of fist forms, and his Realm broke through with a bang!

A second Spiritual Power Vortex formed inside his body, located in his right calf.

System: ”Congratulations, Host, for breaking through a Realm. You are awarded 500 Achievement Points and have received a surprise reward: System’s Otherworldly Warehouse side length x2.”

The warehouse space was a cube. Previously, its side length was 1 meter, with a volume of 1 cubic meter. Now, the side length was 2 meters, giving it a volume of 8 cubic meters.

He had been on the verge of a breakthrough for a while, just shy of forming the second Spiritual Power Vortex, possibly because this world lacked Mysterious Particles.

Then, with the Tier Five Spirit Grass in his stomach, its abundant Medicinal Power made the breakthrough happen naturally.
