Chapter 8: The Sacred Pouch
[You have found it and became its master, so now, it’s time to think about how to use it.]
“How to use it?”
Bai Luo noticed that the countdown on the black book had disappeared. Instead, a sentence appeared below it, followed by a second one soon after.
[Perhaps you should think about the delicacies you have eaten. You might be pleasantly surprised.]
“The food I had eaten? A pleasant surprise?”
Bai Luo knew that the black book must be hinting at how the pouch can be used.
Just like helping him find the miracle pouch before and helping him establish a contract with it.
Yes, establishing a contract with the pouch.
Just now, Bai Luo could feel that a connection between him and the pouch in his hand had been established.
Bai Luo instinctively understood that this pouch belongs to him and that no one except him could use it or seize it.
Even if Bai Luo discards the pouch, no matter how far away he is, the pouch will appear in his hand with just a thought.
It doesn’t matter if it is destroyed, Bai Luo can reshape it by his side at any time.
This information appeared in Bai Luo’s mind after he contracted the pouch, and this is the information that every miracle master would get upon contracting a miracle.
“This is a miracle?”
“I also found a miracle?”
Bai Luo was a bit conflicted. Normally, he should have been very excited.
But because the acquisition process is too simple, it made the whole thing very unreal, just like a dream.
It was like turning on a cheat device, Bai Luo didn’t even try his luck. He just said ‘I’m hungry’ to the pouch, awakening it.
He just followed the prompts given by the black book. At most, he just thought about and analyzed its riddles.
“Anyway, I have acquired a miracle.”
The process is not important, the important thing is the result.
Bai Luo found a miracle with the guidance of the black book, his first, no, second miracle!
The only thing he is concerned about is the black book weirdness.
Obviously, the pouch gave Bai Luo a lot of information upon becoming his miracle, but the black book didn’t change in the slightest. It was still so mysterious.
“Forget it, let’s look at this miracle first.”
Bai Luo couldn’t understand the mysteries of the black book. The important thing now is to dig out information about the miracle pouch.
[Perhaps you should think about the delicacies you have eaten. You might be pleasantly surprised.]
“It’s an anagram again.”
Seeing this prompt, Bai Luo rubbed his chin and pondered.
“The delicacies that I have eaten before? Does it mean that as long as I want a kind of food, this kind of food will fall out of the pouch?”
“It shouldn’t be…”
Bai Luo felt that this was unrealistic because the pouch was too small and he knows of many foods and dishes that are quite big.
How can such a small pouch pour out food that is bigger than it?
“Forget it, let’s try first.”
Bai Luo came from the Blue Planet and had naturally eaten various types of food. He doesn’t dare to say that the type of food he had eaten surpasses everyone in this world, but it’s still much more than what the people of Arden have eaten.
“I want to eat, I want to eat…”
Bai Luo thought for a while, he was hesitant on what he should choose. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said,
“I want to eat a roasted whole chicken. Give me a golden crispy chicken!”
“…”
Unfortunately, the pouch didn’t react. Bai Luo flipped the bag and started shaking it but nothing came out.
“Could it be that my method of wishing is wrong?”
Bai Luo opened the pouch, moved his head closer, and said.
“I’m hungry, I want to eat a roasted whole chicken.”
Still, nothing has changed
“Damn!”
Bai Luo became a little angry. He became a little angry at the word-playing game of the black book.
Apart from the anticipation of possibly getting ten miracles in the future, he felt a bit helpless.
Since it has the ability to find miracles and make him their owner, it should just tell him everything clearly. There’s no need for the anagrams!
“Is this the so-called getting a great deal and asking for more?”
Bai Luo scolded himself for being too greedy.
The Black Book’s ability to find miracles is already extremely remarkable.
“Forget it, I will do it. I will solve the anagram.”
Later, Bai Luo tried several more times, thinking about many delicious dishes that he had eaten in his past life, but nothing worked.
“It still didn’t work, why?”
Bai Luo was puzzled. He thought back to the first sentence.
“Gold is harvest, and silver is diligence. Now that I think about it, it feels that these words might be related to farming.”
Upon thinking of this, Bai Luo carefully looked at the pouch. It’s very small, pouring a roasted whole chicken from it is indeed impossible.
“Can I pour some kind of grain or seed out of this pouch?”
“But I have thought of vegetarian dishes while using this pouch before.”
“Could it be because it was too complex?”
Most dishes are made of many different types of materials. Maybe that’s the reason why the pouch couldn’t manifest them.
It’s like Bao Bao buns, there are many things in it.
“Let’s try it.”
This time, Bai Luo only thought of the fragrant white rice from his memory, then said to the pouch.
“I’m hungry, I want to eat white rice.”
“Oh?”
As soon as his voice sounded, Bai Luo felt that the weight of the pouch had changed.
“It’s getting heavier!”
“Wow…”
Almost subconsciously, Bai Luo turned the pouch upside down, causing a small waterfall of rice to fall from it.
“Hey? There’s more? This pile is already several times the volume of the pouch!”
A steady stream of rice fell from it, which soon piled into a knee-high hill in front of him.
“Anything else? Is that it?”
Bai Luo shook the pouch several times, but the rice seemed to run out. No matter how much he shook it, nothing came out of it again.
“This thing is so interesting! How does it work?”
Bai Luo looked at the brown-yellow rice piled beside him. It wasn’t white rice, it was unpeeled rice.
Bai Luo roughly estimated that about 70 kilograms of rice can be obtained after hulling it.
In other words, 100 kilograms of unhulled rice was poured out of this bag.
The measurement system of the Iron Eagle Kingdom is very complicated and cumbersome. With the support of his uncle, the Arden village adopted Bai Luo’s reformed measurement system, turning to grams, pounds, and kilograms.
“So can I only pour out 100 kilos of the same grain, or can I only pour out 100 kilos in total?”
Bai Luo continued to try, but no matter what kind of crops he thought of, the pouch didn’t react in the slightest.
“It seems that I can only pour out 100 kilos of grain in total.”
“Damn! I shouldn’t have poured out rice!”
Bai Luo felt that pouring out 70 kilograms of edible rice is a loss because the ratio of unhulled rice to hulled rice is about 10:7, which means that about 30% of the pouch’s output had been wasted.
Although the rice hull can also be eaten, it is generally used to feed horses and livestock. It’s mostly indigestible to humans.
“I should have poured out 100 kilograms of mung beans, soybeans, or red beans. That is 100 kilograms of edible grain.”
Bai Luo immediately understood the value of this pouch. He knew that he could at least solve the food and clothing problem of the Adren clan with it.
A person needs about half a kilo of grain a day, together with meat and vegetables.
The Ardennes do not lack meat.
Most of the Ardennes can go to the mountain to hunt, so all 80 people are self-sufficient without a lack of meat. They also have some vegetables.
The main thing they are lacking is a staple food that can satiate them. That is starchy foods that can provide humans with carbohydrates. These ones are too scarce.
However, with the sacred pouch’s ability to provide them with 100 kilograms of grain every day, let alone 80 people, Bai Luo can even provide food for 400 people.
“Oh?”
Bai Luo once again focused on the black book.
At some point, the text on the black book disappeared, replaced by something like a list of attributes.
