The moonlight is bright and clear, and the wind blows slowly.
All the people in Cherry City looked up at the silent night sky.
They seem to be still looking for the disappearing 'Witch's House', as if only by maintaining such actions can they ease the agitated emotions in their hearts.
After more than ten seconds, someone's footsteps broke the silence.
Like a stone thrown into the lake, there are ripples.
Everyone wakes up.
The 'mysterious people' disappeared one after another with complicated moods.
Ordinary people either stayed where they were talking in low voices, or turned around and went home, while some smart people focused on those "mysterious people" who looked unusual.
A week ago, the confession of the "Ground Investigation Bureau" has already let ordinary people know that there is another world besides the world they are familiar with.
For that strange world, they are curious and fearful.
Curious is the unknown.
Fear is also the unknown.
And of course... power!
Everyone desires to be extraordinary.
When we are young, everyone thinks that they are special.
As an adult, everyone is forced to admit that they are ordinary or ordinary.
What do you do when an opportunity to be extraordinary presents itself
Some people are still willing to be ordinary, they have been smoothed by reality.
And some
It is to seize the opportunity.
They haven't compromised yet.
As for the result
Mostly with disastrous results.
Small portions are enviable.
However, none of this mattered to Jason.
When the "witch's farewell" was issued, he became the focus of the courtyard.
Brian and McCall looked at Jason with the eyes of someone who had experienced it, especially McCall, who was holding a beer glass, even gave Jason a thumbs up.
Jennifer, McCall met.
Although it looked a little nervous, he felt that Jennifer was unexpectedly suitable standing next to Jason. It was a feeling of matching breath. Under this feeling, McCall thought Jennifer was a good girl.
After a flash of envy flashed in John's eyes, he fell into deep memories. He stood in the corner, stroking Daisy's head, silent, only when Daisy stuck out her tongue to lick him. Only when the gloomy man responded, whispered something similar to comforting Daisy, just like Daisy comforted him.
Two little girls, Terry and Cammy, were different.
"snort!"
"I knew it!"
"Vixen!"
Teri spoke angrily, then turned her head and took Cammy's palm, comforting Cammy softly.
"Cami, don't worry!"
"Any vixen is good only for scarves, gloves and hats!"
"Victory is ours!"
After speaking, Teri made a cheering gesture to her best friend.
Cammy smiled and shook her head.
"I'm not worried."
"Although it's a little uncomfortable, I think... this is normal."
"normal?"
"Is it normal there?"
Cammy's words made Terry puzzled.
"Jason's excellence will attract other women, this is normal!"
"but me?"
"You have to become better, surpass other ladies!"
Cammy explained with a smile.
Facing such an explanation, Teri subconsciously wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, it seemed to make sense, but after thinking about it again, she felt that something was weird.
Eventually, Teri fell into a thoughtful silence.
until-
thump!
Delbon, who was sitting in the farthest corner, slipped from the wooden chair, and he just knelt there.
"Delbon, what's wrong with you?"
Teri asked.
After Delbon promised to return 4993 yuan out of the 5000 yuan and calculate the interest according to the standard given by the bank in Cherry City on that day, Terry generously chose to forgive Delbon.
"It's okay, I drank too much and my legs are weak."
Delbon, who was holding the orange juice, said vaguely.
At this moment, the member of the 'Clock Tower' stationed in the 'Ground Reconnaissance Bureau' looked at Jason with a look that was no longer pure awe, but also admiration.
Actually in such a fast time and the 'witch' had a child? !
It's so...
Envious!
Although the 'witch' is crazy, she is indeed a good-looking and powerful woman, right
With the latter, the former is also acceptable, isn't it
Especially for a man like Delbon who can only rely on books to "relieve loneliness", he is really envious to the point of sour.
As for the 'witch' will lie
That is impossible!
Delbon never doubted this.
Everyone admits that the "witch" is crazy, but the crazy "witch" has one thing that everyone must admit: keep promises and be honest.
Very contradictory, right
The person known as the "witch" has always been considered honest and keeps her promises.
Maybe it's because... she's crazy
But no matter what, after such a 'point' appeared, Delbon became even more envious.
At this moment, Delbon even felt an impulse in his heart!
He wants to learn from Jason and learn 'how to communicate correctly with women'!
In this way, he is no longer alone, can have a happy family, and can practice the "family man way" he learned from John, Brian and McCall.
Thinking about it, Delbon became excited.
But sooner, Delbon calmed down.
He has a teacher.
He respects his teacher very much.
It was his teacher who extended a helping hand when he was in the most difficult time, and taught him precious knowledge, so he abandoned his teacher...
no no no!
I can't do this!
I will stick to my morality!
A voice sounded in Delbon's mind.
You don't have a girlfriend at thirty!
Do you want to be alone forever
Do you want to be like your teacher and still be lonely at the age of one hundred and fifty
Another voice followed.
The two voices were arguing in Delbon's mind, causing Delbon to hesitate.
Jason came back to his senses at this moment.
Crazy bitch.
He thought silently in his heart, and then continued to chew and swallow the meat in his mouth.
Feeling the unique soft taste of mutton and the nourishment of mutton oil between his teeth, Jason couldn't help but let out a long breath.
"Is the moonlight beautiful tonight?"
"but… "
"Tonight's supper is even more delicious!"
Jason murmured softly.
Then, Jason stood up, waved at the three of John, and walked straight into the 'fortress'.
Dinner has been eaten.
next
Naturally, it is supper time.
After touching the finger-sized crystal that Jennifer gave him, Jason couldn't help but secrete his saliva again.
The fragrance on this crystal was something he had never smelled before.
What would that taste be like
Jason thought of this, and his pace became faster and faster.
As soon as he returned to the underground room and closed the door, he couldn't help but took out the crystal.
Under the light of the room, this crystal glowed with a strange fire, just like the heat rising from a rich assorted pot under the flame.
Jason opened his mouth, stuck out his tongue, and the tip of his tongue touched the crystal lightly.
He wanted to taste it first.
Then-
Jason disappeared.
It didn't even go through vaporization, and completely disappeared.
The crystal fell out of thin air.
Just as the crystal was about to fall to the ground, a palm firmly caught it.
Jason, who appeared again, put the crystal in front of his eyes. There was a trace of surprise on his face, but it was more of a surprise.
The accident is because of the special nature of this crystal, which is similar to the energy core of the spaceship.
The surprise is naturally because of the taste of this crystal, which is sweet and has an unusual Q bomb, similar to jelly, but it is a hundred times sweeter than jelly.
'Keep in mind: it's dangerous—you have to be determined to never regret before you can start! '
Jason couldn't help thinking of the words of the 'witch'.
Earlier he thought it was an adjective.
Now it seems understandable as a quantifier.
"Is it only possible to eat it if you die a hundred times?"
Jason silently looked at his satiety.
After the 'accidental death' just now, he still has 365 points of hunger.
121.6 lives... Enough!
Without hesitation, Jason licked the crystal again.
Is it worth it to die a hundred times and lose 300 points of satiety in exchange for a piece of 'food'
It may not be worth it to others.
But in Jason's opinion, it was worth it.
Because this 'food' was bought at the price of a hundred deaths, so its value should be more than a hundred times.
Jason was sure of that!
He tasted it.
His tongue will not deceive him.
Disappear, appear.
Appear and disappear.
Jason standing in the room was like a phantom, constantly changing.
A hundred times!
Not bad once!
Just like what the witch said, after a hundred times, it is the real beginning.
When Jason's tongue touched the crystal for the hundred and first time, the outer layer of the crystal was licked by Jason.
Click!
With a crisp sound, a crack appeared on the crystal.
The light waves inside are rippling, as if there is juice shaking.
Jason threw the crystal into his mouth without hesitation.
Sweet!
A clear sweetness filled Jason's taste buds from the crystal, and Jason couldn't help but bit it with his teeth.
Click!
There was another crisp sound.
The crystal shattered completely, and the juice inside burst out completely.
Jason's face contorted all of a sudden.
acid!
So sour!
Inside the sweet crystal shell is a juice so sour that it makes people tremble.
Almost subconsciously, Jason began to sip the crystal shell vigorously, hoping to dilute the sourness with sweetness.
This is undoubtedly the right thing to do.
Although the sweetness cannot completely make the sour taste disappear.
But it made the sour taste not so unacceptable.
and…
Seems sweet and sour
Just a second later, Jason couldn't help chewing.
"Kind of like a bonbon."
"It's just a weird version."
“Taste... great!”
Jason commented like this.
Because, after experiencing the initial sourness, the taste of this crystal is really great, and the balance between sweet and sour is really the most appropriate among all the foods he has ever eaten.
Sweeter is sweeter.
Anything less is sour.
An inexplicable sense of balance lingered in Jason's mouth.
At the same time, under the talent of [Predator], a special force gradually merged into Jason's soul.
[Swallow unknown power!]
[Unknown power is being judged, the judgment is successful...]
[During the swallowing judgment, the judgment was successful...]
[Get the talent 'thorns'!]
[Thorn: Your unique soul from another world is becoming more and more different at this moment—want to hurt me? You have to have the consciousness of being killed by me! Effect: When you take an 'attack', you will return 1% of the damage you take to the attacker.]
…
No hunger.
Not to mention the excitement of eating.
But Jason was delighted.
Because what appears is talent!
Moreover, it is different from the passive talents listed under [Predator], although [Thorn] appears under [Predator], it does not belong to [Predator].
is independent.
"thorns, thorns."
"Anti-injury 1%?"
"Does that mean if someone kills me a hundred times, the other party will definitely die?"
Jason thought almost subconsciously.
Then, he shook his head again.
The 1% retaliation is really too little, so little that as long as the person who attacked him is not a fool, he will immediately find out that something is wrong, so he will stop the attack and change his strategy.
Of course, not necessarily all.
For example: Machinery!
A senseless, yet extremely precise machine!
Even 1% damage is enough to turn everything around!
Some combat strategies could not help but emerge in Jason's mind.
Then, naturally, he thought about whether [Thorn] could be upgraded
He feels he can!
As long as he eats more crystals like before.
But where did those crystals come from
Jennifer has left, he does not know.
Maybe inquire from the 'mysterious side' of the world
Jason thought.
But in his heart, Jason didn't hold out much hope.
Because, he had a hunch.
This is what Jennifer 'urges' him to do as soon as possible.
In fact, Jason now has an idea of wanting to find the 'witch'.
Jason frowned at this thought.
"Have you been seen through?"
Jason whispered to himself.
Then, shrugged.
He is not afraid of being seen through as a weakness, which he has worked hard to overcome.
In Jason's opinion, the "witch's urging" in front of him will only make him more determined to overcome his weaknesses, and will give him more motivation.
Of course, it would be great if we could get more similar crystals.
Retaliate!
Jason looked at the effect of [thorns] again.
He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
The appearance of [Thorn] completely complemented his other shortcoming.
He doesn't care what he can't break through.
Those who can break the defense against him will have to bear the back injury of [thorns].
In short, not only has he become thick and hard, but he has thorns!
Anyone who punches him will suffer the end of being 'stabbed' dripping with blood.
Although this 'thorn' is not sharp enough!
But it is enough!
Enough to give him more chances!
Of course, such a harvest is accompanied by a substantial reduction in satiety.
Seeing that there were only 65 points of satiety remaining, Jason became restless.
Without 100 lives, how can he be at ease
Just as Jason was thinking about how to replenish his hunger, the phone in his study rang—
Jingle Bell.
