Death is far away.
Pain, but still pervasive.
It's not that Jason hasn't been blown to pieces.
But just like before, it was the first time that he was continuously crushed to pieces and roasted continuously.
Jason can guarantee that he has cooked it more than once.
The kind of ripeness from the outside to the inside gives birth to a different kind of crispy outside and tender inside.
His sense of smell told him this.
For the first time, Jason felt that a good sense of smell was also a burden.
Thankfully, Jason wasn't so hungry that he wanted to devour himself.
He was still calm and rational.
Still, being calm and rational will not reduce the pain.
On the contrary, in a calm and rational state, Jason felt more and more pain.
He wanted to roar loudly, but he gritted his teeth tightly, not letting himself make a sound.
Because, at this moment, Jason has returned to the high-back chair.
In front of him was the familiar, quaint round table, dark tablecloth and silver tableware, and... the black notebook.
Jason was always wary of this particular place.
Even though he was given considerable help here, Jason would never forget the first scene—
He was 'sent' in as food.
And, until now.
He is still 'bound' in this high back chair.
Crash!
The black notebook automatically flipped open, and new words began to appear on it.
[When you choose it, it is doomed to be overwhelming.]
[The bubbles are wonderful.]
[It quietly stimulates your taste buds.]
(Note: Unexpected aperitifs, the taste... only you know of course.)
A few random lines of proverbs appeared in Jason's eyes.
"Between the guest and the host?"
Jason subconsciously thought of Arras.
This is an unforgettable woman.
Tall, strong and skilled in fighting.
She should continue to practice now, right
Thinking of Arras's concentration, Jason couldn't help but sigh slightly.
There is no special emotion, but Jason knows that it seems impossible to find such a perfect partner in the future.
However, Jason didn't think Arras was distracting.
That's... Edmond, Esther
Or is it Avent
Jason frowned thinking, but finally shook his head.
very similar.
But Jason instinctively felt otherwise.
Who is 'overwhelming the guest'
Is there something important that I overlooked
Jason asked himself.
While Jason was thinking, the words on the notebook continued to appear line by line.
[Main task: Excellent!]
[Predation performance: Excellent!]
[Cooking performance: mediocre!]
[Battle performance: Excellent!]
[Search performance: good!]
[Comprehensive evaluation: almost excellent!]
(Note: Ready to gulp it down?)
…
Jason's eyes paused slightly on the 'Comprehensive Evaluation'.
He then set his sights on 'cooking performance'.
Obviously, if he wants to get a good evaluation, he must master certain cooking skills, but... who told him how to cook steel bars and door panels
Impossible to dip the sauce every time, right
As for other normal foods
Everything in the world can be stewed!
Everything in the world can be baked!
Jason firmly believes that there is no food that cannot be stewed, just as there is nothing that cannot be solved by a meal.
If you have, then grill the skewers while you are cooking in the pot.
Of course, if given the chance, Jason wouldn't mind learning how to cook.
But there's a quicker, better solution: get a chef!
It's a pity that there are so few chefs like Hannibal!
Jason couldn't help but sigh.
Then, his gaze was attracted by the light emerging from the notebook.
With previous experience, Jason waited silently.
The next moment, a motley card appeared.
Unlike the previous black, bronze, and metallic cards, this is a two-color card with black iron on the inside and bronze on the outside.
On the front of the card is an 'esophagus' connecting the mouth to the stomach.
[Esophagus strengthening: Your esophagus muscles have been specially strengthened. It can cooperate with your strengthened mouth to send more and bigger food into your mouth at one time!]
…
Same as before.
The talent [Esophageal Enhancement] and [Teeth Enhancement], [Taste Enhancement], [Anti-Poison Enhancement], [Stomach Enhancement], and [Mouth Enhancement] are side by side, appearing under the talent [Predator], and are marked ' The word passive'.
"Cough, cough."
There was a sudden itching in his throat, and Jason couldn't help coughing twice.
Then, his throat suddenly expanded, becoming thicker than a watermelon, and this expansion continued with Jason's breathing, until it was as thick as Jason's body.
Soon, the throat returned to its original shape.
With the lessons learned from [Mouth Strengthening], Jason accepted the change calmly.
Anyway, he is just a normal person who can open his mouth wider, pass larger and more food through his esophagus, and digest faster.
As long as it's normal, nothing else matters.
"Bronze and black iron together?"
"Somewhere in between?"
Jason guessed.
Then, more and more dazzling brilliance began to appear in the black notebook.
It is different from the photo echoing with the silver dinner plate before.
This time, a clear glass appeared in front of Jason, and then, out of nowhere, layers of fine liquid began to emerge from it.
The liquid appears transparent, but with air bubbles.
These bubbles are densely crawling on the wall of the cup, exuding a faint fragrance.
Some are fruity but with a bit of a natural aroma.
After Jason's hand was able to move, he picked up the glass directly.
He first put the quilt to his mouth and smelled it.
The fruity and natural aroma penetrated into Jason's nostrils in an instant, making his pain a little less, and then, without hesitation, Jason drank it straight down.
Gudong, Gudong.
hiccup~
After drinking about 200ml of sparkling water in one breath, Jason burped loudly.
[Taste 'almost excellent' level 'sparkling water'!]
[Physical strength, energy, and injuries are fully recovered!]
[attribute point +0.1]
…
With such a reminder, the pain that had been lingering in Jason's body disappeared immediately.
Jason's spirit instantly eased.
But when he saw the last line of prompts, Jason frowned.
"Excellent is 0.2 points, almost perfect is 0.3 points."
"Almost excellent is only 0.1 attribute points?"
Although he had guessed before, but seeing the attribute point of only 0.1 points, Jason couldn't help but think again, who is the person who is 'overwhelming'.
However, this did not prevent Jason from continuing to add this 0.1 attribute point to his physique.
He needs a stronger physique, he needs to become stronger, he needs to become tougher, and he needs to maximize his talent "immortality".
The direct increase in attributes lasted for more than ten seconds. When Jason got used to his current body, more text began to appear in the notebook.
[Sparkling water that overwhelms the guests and makes everything wonderful.]
[You shouldn't have gone back.]
[But it can't be solved without the degree of satiety.]
[have?]
[Then join the excitement of eating!]
[Do you want to spend 500 points of satiety and 30 points of food excitement to return?]
…
"500 satiation points?"
"30 food excitement?"
"What the hell did that 'overwhelming' guy do?"
"Did you break the sky of 'Ang City'?"
Jason saw that the degree of satiety and excitement required to return to 'Ang City' could no longer be maintained normally.
It was hard for him to imagine what happened after he entered the world of 'Shards'.
Obviously, everything was normal before he left.
Why did this happen as soon as he left
Is it because the guy who 'distracts the show' is closely related to him
But if it was closely related, why didn't he have an impression
It's impossible for that guy to be so partial to him. Therefore, under the love of the house, it affected Arras, Edmond, and Este, and thus made some earth-shattering things that affected the whole world, right
This is too, too... incredible.
Jason thought it over and used a more positive word.
Though deep down, he has a more appropriate vocabulary.
But Jason thinks it's inappropriate to use it to judge himself and his friends.
He felt the throbbing of his temples, and looked at the numbers in front of him again.
Immediately, Jason felt his back molars sour.
To know the return to the world of 'table manners' 'Lord', is 5 o'clock.
The world of 'Crab Salad' and 'Crispy Roll' of 'Appetizer' are 50 points and 75 points respectively.
The appearance of the latter two already cost Jason a lot.
But the world of 'sparkling water' directly made Jason feel impossible.
Not to mention that he doesn't have 500 points of satiety and 30 points of food excitement.
Even if there is!
He will also improve his own skills and secret techniques.
He knows exactly what is important to him.
Almost immediately, Jason temporarily abandoned the world of 'sparkling water'.
It is impossible for him to think about it until he reaches a certain level.
And just as Jason made such a decision, the pages of the black notebook began to turn.
Page Four: Soup.
[Soup!]
[You have two options:]
[1. Beef soup (clear soup)]
[2, Cream of Mushroom Soup (Thick Soup)]
[When you choose 1, you need to consume 7 points of satiety]
[Option 2 is, you need to consume 7 points of satiety]
(Note: Two soups, you can choose one of them, and when you return from the main mission, you can choose the remaining one.)
…
"Can you choose all?"
"Satiation is the same?"
Jason was slightly taken aback.
Then, he set his sights on 'beef soup'.
If nothing else, he likes to eat beef.
Even, at this time, Jason had already begun to fantasize about the taste that 'beef soup' should have.
And in this fantasy, Jason returned to No. 19 Tell Street.
He was still in the same position, wearing a hockey mask, sitting on a crate, his beloved machete on his lap.
besides
In that 'fragment' world, meteorites fell, flames burned, and nothing was left.
However, none of it mattered to Jason at the moment.
Because, the moment he returned to No. 19, Tell Street.
He felt a little different.
There is a faint, very illusory thing beside him!
can not see!
Can't touch it!
But it really exists!
Such feelings did not panic Jason.
On the contrary, he was slightly relieved from the bottom of his heart.
For that 'peeper'.
For that big shot collaborator.
Jason was still terrified.
The piece called 'Map' was actually the appearance of 'Warning Letter', like a dagger pierced into Jason's heart, making him vigilant all the time.
Especially after returning the last two times, with the increase in strength, after still not finding the other party's trace, it made Jason feel restless.
And now!
He finally 'detected' to a trace of the other party's 'trace'.
This is really a good thing for Jason!
You know, before entering the world of 'bubbly water' this time, all his attributes were: strength 2.6, agility 2.5, constitution 3.0, spirit 2.2, perception 3.8.
After returning again, all attributes are: strength 3.7, agility 3.5, constitution 4.4, spirit 2.6, perception 5.7.
Even the mental attribute with the least increase has 0.4.
Strength, agility, and constitution all increase by at least 1.
And the perception that increases the most is an increase of almost 2.
When Jason closed his eyes again, the temporary +0.3 perception given by [Blind Fight] made Jason reach six times the perception of ordinary people.
With this perception, Jason became more and more sensitive to his surroundings.
The vague and illusory things began to gradually become clear.
But, it's still a little bit worse!
Jason opened his eyes!
His eyes were very calm, and there was no expression on his face.
Just barely, he could see what it was.
But Jason didn't have any regrets.
Because, he knows very well, even if he finds out what method the other party is using to spy on him, what's the use
The opponent's method is definitely not just peeping!
In other words, what is in front of him is just an arrangement of the other party!
How strong is the opponent's true strength
Jason didn't know.
So, at this moment, even if he finds out, what's the use
Not just waiting!
Can only passively look for opportunities
really…
I am too weak!
Jason said silently from the bottom of his heart, and then he stood up as if he was tired from sitting.
Then, he took out a can of canned food and a bottle of water from the wooden crate on the right.
Without heating it, Jason just opened the can and ate it in big mouthfuls.
As if impatient.
It's like I've never eaten a can like this before.
I am now a 'lucky' little person who replaced the 'chess piece' here. I am very cautious, which is in line with my identity as the 'postman' of the city that never sleeps.
At the same time, I have to 'struggle'!
Can't give up!
After three or five mouthfuls of this canned food, which looked like animal offal mixed with green beans, Jason picked up a bottle of water and unscrewed the cap, and poured it into his stomach.
There was a kind of satisfaction on his face.
It seemed as if he had eaten something delicious in the world.
In fact, compared to the 'post office' he's in, the food here is really good.
The miserliness of the 'old man' is legendary.
It is the same as the credit of the other party, which is not bad.
Both are required.
But in the dark, both are also clearly priced.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be here.
"Damn XXX!"
"You bastard!"
Jason cursed like that.
He, the 'postman', is not an idiot, so he should have guessed what happened.
At the same time, another search began.
This time, Jason searched inside No. 19 Tell Street several times. After spending nearly an hour, he returned to the wooden crate again, sitting there seemingly tired, confused, and at a loss.
Of course, this is the view of being able to 'peek' into 19 Turret Street.
Where 'peep' can't reach.
Jason held the black notebook between his fingers.
With a flick of the finger.
The notebook was opened again.
