Jayden's eyes widened at the unexpected stat increase. "All these… just from one bite?" he marveled.
[I told you] Luna said, a hint of smugness in her tone. [Raw meat provides superior benefits to cooked ones. And keep in mind, this meat is already processed and preserved. If you were to consume the freshly killed, unpreserved flesh of a high-ranking beast, the stat yields would be even greater]
