--------------------------
'Finally.' I thought with a smile on my face.
Without wasting a second I start eating the whole thing, while giving the remaining parts of the cooked meat to Bastet, from her reactions it looked like she liked it.
After eating the whole thing, I received 2 notifications.
--------------------------
By eating special food you have gained 1 point in Str
You have gained the Ogre's perk: Strong skin
Strong skin
Effects: Doubles the defense given to the skin from each point in Str
--------------------------
Wanting to test it out, I take out a normal knife from my inventory and try to cut my hand.
The blade made contact with the skin, and just as it tried to cut, the only thing it left behind was a white mark.
'Will surely become useful, I hope there also is something like Strogne organs, muscles, and bones, or the difference would be too high.'
"This is soo good, what type of meat is this?" Bastet said while licking the remaining meat from her plate.
"Ogre meat."
Its eyes became curious at Ogre's words, so she asked:" Can you take me where you hunted this meat?"
I simply nodded, equipped my armor, got out Ebony and Ivory, and got inside the ogre Paradise, I might as well get more materials.
As soon as we got inside our eyes Bastet witched from curiousness to fear.
" Where the hell did you do?"
"What do you mean?"
"This place... it's filled with life."
" And?"
"Ok let me rephrase, this place is filled with life energy, one of the 6 main energies, the hardest to manipulate, and this place isn't only manipulating it, but also generating, creating life from nothing is something that only being to the level of OAA, without counting the space of this dimension being infinite, which should be impossible, the chaos energy used to make the being inside here angry and stronger, the order energy to not let them get out of here, and lastly the death energy being converted to some sort of energy that I never encountered before, so tell me what the hell did you do?"
"... I stumbled on it?"
"... I am not going to question that." It said in resignation.
And just as those words came out, a group of ogres began approaching.
Seeing the enemies, Bastet moved behind me, and I pointed the guns toward the group of ogres.
I began spamming Rapid fire, plus the effect of Piercing, and by the time they arrived at the melee range, I had killed more than half of them, resulting in a gain of 6450 XP.
Using Blink, I teleported above one of the ogres and used my sword covered in the magic Sharpening, to pierce one of its eyes, switching the sword for the gun and shooting inside its eye, burning his brain.
Two other ogres tried to swing their mace at me, but before they could I used blink again and activated Shadow Veil.
They began looking around trying to find me, and while they were doing so I simply place three homemade grenades between them, activated them, and then blinked away.
After 5 seconds, the explosion happened, and even though I didn't immediately kill them, I chopped off their legs.
Without any ability to move, and not having the strength to even swing their maces, I was easily able to deal with them,
The fight had given me 3000 more XP.
I put the three bodies inside my inventory, and just as I was about to head to the body I had shot down with my guns, I see Bastet bringing the bodies to me by simply blinking to them and them blinking with them back to me.
"Thank you."
"This is gonna cost you more than some simply cooked meat."
"It was cooked with salt."
"... Am I supposed to laugh?"
"Trying to improve my socializing skill."
"You suck."
" I know."
.

.
I spend the next week simply farming for ogres and cooking their meat, while also experimenting on a possible cure for the zombie diseases, I know I am close, but I am missing something.
By end of the week, I had gained 21 levels in Cooking, yes I was that bad, 3 in Science, 5 in Medicine, and 5 in Chemistry.
And thanks to all the fights against the Ogres, I had gained 7 levels in Opportunists and Counter, 8 in Rapid Shot, 10 in Gun, Ax, and Sword Mastery, 2 in Battle Awareness, 7 in Evade, 7 in Mana manipulation, 2 in Meditation, 5 in telekinesis, 6 in Piercing, and a whopping 10 in Blink.
I also gained 12 levels.
And laslty but surely not by importance, the gains from eating ogres and studying for a cure.
