Sitting in the dark restaurant, with the sound of his own sneezing still echoing in his ears, Jason was stunned.
The sense of restraint on the high-back chair still exists.
As before.
"I am sick?"
Jason thought subconsciously.
But then denied it.
With his current physique, it is impossible to catch a cold.
That is…
someone misses me
It can't be that someone is scolding me, can it
Such strong words...
possible!
Who is the one
Jason thought about the candidate, and then, after only two or three seconds, he gave up.
He had many enemies, but he killed most of them.
leftover
It's all he can't do at the moment.
If such an enemy wants to curse him, he has no choice but to silently increase his strength, and then kill the opponent.
Thinking of this, Jason took a deep breath and looked at the windless black notebook in front of him.
[The richness of the thick soup always makes people have endless aftertaste!]
[It blooms instantly on the taste buds.]
[It must be a joy in your life.]
(Note: Please savor this rare joy carefully!)
"Joy?"
Jason was talking to himself, and his eyes locked on the words in front of him.
[Swallow Al Sikkim (very important part)]
[Physical strength, energy, and injuries are recovered to an excess level!]
[Saturation +600]
[Saturation: 1024]
[Eating Excitement +5]
[Eating Excitement: 20]
…
[Swallowing the 'precious ingredients', the hunter's talent promotion judgment...]
[Judgment passed!]
[Predator → Predator II]
[Predator Ⅱ: Some 'food' will never appear in the recipes of ordinary people, but you are different, your soul from another world makes you so different, for you, there is no 'food' that cannot be eaten— Invasive species? Sorry, I only have endangered species that have been eaten to a few levels! And when you go farther and farther on the road of hunting, you will make more and more reasonable use of your talents; effect: when you devour 'abnormal food', you will not only get the corresponding satiety, use Hunger does some incredible things, and the amount of Hunger you get increases slightly.]
…
This is the text that appeared after Jason drank the brains of his huge body.
A lot of satiety and food excitement, which is to be expected.
But 'precious ingredients' promoted his basic [Predator], which was beyond Jason's expectations.
"Slightly increased satiety?"
Jason looked at the introduction of the [Predator II] talent, and didn't have any doubts.
It can be understood directly that the same food, when the talent is [Predator], gets 10 points of satiety, and when the talent is promoted to [Predator II], it becomes 11 points of satiety.
This is naturally worth a surprise!
But the real surprise was the implications behind that message.
[Predator] The first promotion is related to satiety, what happens after that
Could it be related to the excitement of food
It is really too difficult to obtain the excitement of food.
It was so difficult that every time, Jason was not enough.
And now, finally found a way to slightly increase the amount of food excitement obtained.
Of course, this method is also difficult.
Huge body... the body of a god...
Next time, there won't be such a good chance.
Jason sighed slightly as he recalled the previous scene.
Not every time, a similar situation can be encountered.
Even this time, it was full of thrills.
At the last moment, the secret technique used by the occupant of the magpie's nest almost killed him. In that short period of time, he died 650+ times in a row.
There were really so many deaths that he couldn't count them accurately.
Even when he forced himself to return here, he sat on this restrained chair and gradually regained his senses.
The difference in strength is too great!
"God..."
Jason thought of this word in his heart.
He once again recognized the gap between himself and this kind of existence.
Not to mention the gods in his cognition.
Even if it is that kind of false god, demigod and the like, he is far from being an opponent.
I still need it, keep going strong!
call!
Jason took a deep breath, his eyes became more determined.
frustration
Nature exists.
defeat
There is also a point.
But he already had a goal.
Jason, on the other hand, has a very good habit. Now that he has set a goal, he will go on.
stubborn
stubborn
Others don't look back until they hit the south wall!
And Jason
Hit the south wall and don't look back!
He would break through the south wall and wade out his own way.
In front of his eyes, the words on the notebook emerged one by one—
[Main task: Excellent!]
[Predation performance: perfect!]
[Cooking performance: mediocre!]
[Battle performance: Excellent!]
[Search performance: mediocre!]
[Comprehensive evaluation: almost excellent!]
(Note: Your spoon is at the ready.)
…
The performance is similar to that of the previous 'Beef Soup (Clear Soup)', except that the performance of the main task and hunting has been swapped.
"Winning the championship in a crushing way is not perfect, but excellent?"
"Then how do you get perfection?"
"You can't just flip the table at the beginning and kill all the 'Hundred Families'?"
Jason was thinking, staring at the notebook that kept flickering.
A card mixed with black iron and bronze appeared again.
It is a picture with [Stomach] on the front.
Jason had seen this pattern before, it was a pattern of [Strengthening the Stomach].
And when the card was turned over, it proved that Jason's memory was correct.
[Intestinal strengthening]!
[Check that you already have the talent to strengthen the intestines and stomach, and determine that the second enhancement is in progress...]
[Judgment passed!]
[Gastrointestinal Strengthening II: Your digestive organs have been strengthened twice, which can decompose and absorb food faster and more effectively. You can eat more and faster than before!]
…
Goo! Goo!
Seeing the second reinforcement appearing in front of him, Jason was interrupted by a stomach rumbling before he could think about it.
Hungry!
Jason felt that he could eat ten cows now, one bite at a time.
Especially, when an extreme creamy taste appeared, Jason's eyes were almost red with hunger.
On the dining table in front of him, a metal plate with a flared and shallow bottom appeared there. The flared edge and the edge of the plate were two circles larger than a 10-jin watermelon, but the shallow bottom was only two fingers deep.
The rich white color is served on the plate, and the long-handled metal thin spoon is turned upside down and placed on the edge of the plate.
After an hour of restraint, Jason picked up the spoon.
He scooped out a spoonful with a spoon and put it in his mouth.
Jason's eyes lit up when the salty milk flavor began to bloom on his taste buds.
Jason's eyes lit up even more when the soft and chewy pieces of mushroom appeared.
"Mushrooms were chopped and fried... no, there was no smell of oil, and it wasn't stir-fried, it was... grilled!"
"The whole mushrooms are dehydrated, after they are baked, they should be chopped!"
"Cream...well, can't taste it."
Jason thought while eating.
In the shallow plate, it bottomed out very quickly.
After Jason licked the plate clean, he turned his attention to the spoon in his hand.
He clearly remembered that he asked about the spoon before.
It's just that there was no answer before.
Now there is.
Jason looked at the note on the notebook in the evaluation section—
Your spoon is ready.
…
Is it because of the last time I shouted, made a change
Or is the mission different this time, so there has been a change
Jason thought silently.
He controlled his eyes not to slash around, and his expression was as usual.
This is not difficult for Jason who lives in the city that never sleeps.
acting
Everyone in 'City That Never Sleeps' can be called the actor, you don't know when the people around you are telling the truth and when they are telling lies, so there is a rule in 'City That Never Sleeps': Do not trust anyone.
Everyone who lives in the 'city that never sleeps' does this.
Jason is no exception.
Would he trust the black notebook
How can it be!
He didn't forget what happened when he first came here.
Even, Jason suspected that if he hadn't awakened the [Predator] talent, he wouldn't have had any relationship with this notebook at all.
Infer in this way.
Jason always felt that the appearance of this notebook seemed to be some coincidence.
As it happens, Jason is not one to believe in coincidences.
However, there was one thing Jason kept in mind.
Before you have strength, what you need is savings, not publicity.
That's what he is now.
Facing the unknown existence of 'Lord', he who wants to avenge the old knight needs to accumulate strength.
Facing the unknown existence of the 'City That Never Sleeps', he who wants to be controlled by him still needs to accumulate strength.
Facing the unknown existence behind the 'Notes', he still needs to accumulate strength if he wants to figure out whether it is a coincidence.
Overall, he's still too weak.
However, everything will be fine!
[Taste 'almost excellent' level 'cream of mushroom soup'!]
[Physical strength, energy, and injuries are fully recovered!]
[attribute point +0.1]
…
With the increase of familiarity, Jason at this time, the whole attribute has become——
Strength: 6.5, Dexterity: 5.7, Constitution: 6.8, Spirit: 4.5, Perception: 8.1
…
There is a substantial increase from before he just entered the copy.
"Keep going!"
"Continue to be stronger!"
Jason told himself silently in his heart.
His eyes were firmly fixed on the black notebook.
The above text began to change.
[Surprise is always hidden in every dish.]
[But surprise also means change.]
[Not only the dishes themselves, but also... tasters!]
[Can't return to the world of 'Soup'!]
(Note: The worlds of 'Crab Salad', 'Crispy Roll', 'Sparkling Water', 'Beef Soup' cannot be returned!)
…
The words in the notebook made Jason frown.
"Can't go back?"
He was taken aback.
This is the first time he has encountered such a situation.
Even if the world of 'sparkling water' and 'beef soup' has been greatly changed, it is possible to return, but the cost is higher.
And now there is no return!
It is still chained and cannot be returned!
Is something happening that even 'notebook' can't stop
still…
Out of control
Thinking of this, Jason narrowed his eyes.
However, immediately, Jason found that it was a bit obvious for him to do so.
Immediately, he flipped through the black notebook again.
He is covering himself up with such behavior.
However, Jason was really relieved when he saw that the world of 'table manners' belonging to 'Lord' could still return.
At this time, Jason showed his true feelings in the true sense.
Lord, he must go back.
anyway!
Whoa, whoa!
The pages of the book continued to turn, and more words appeared—
[This is a change!]
[The side dish here is not the appetizer.]
[They are different from the traditional meaning.]
[It is unique to this place.]
[Because, the choice of them will really determine your main course.]
[You have three options:]
[1: Seafood Crisp Box]
[2: Cheese Ham]
[3: Tomato Cheese Chicken Chop]
[Option 1, you need to consume 10 points of satiety.]
[Option 2, you need to consume 11 points of satiety.]
[Option 3, you need to consume 12 points of satiety.]
(Note: Three unique side dishes, you can only choose two of them)
…
Change
Jason frowned subconsciously.
Since his return from the world of 'Cream of Mushroom Soup', the 'notebook' in front of him seems to have been changing.
What exactly is going on there
Jason thought.
Then, he didn't immediately decide which world to enter, but returned to No. 19 Tell Street.
He needs to test himself again.
And the moment he returned, Jason noticed his hockey mask and machete.
In the last battle before, he couldn't estimate the two beloved items at all.
Therefore, another reason why Jason frowned when he found out that he could not return was because of these two items.
but now!
Two items have reappeared!
on him.
The mask is worn on the face.
A machete with a short handle is in hand.
really!
Something happened that I don't know, but made 'notebook' unacceptable.
Is this a good thing
Jason didn't know for the time being.
He only knew that at this moment, not only could he clearly feel everything inside 19 Tell Street, but he could also vaguely perceive the positions where those 'silk threads' spread outside 19 Tell Street.
Go towards the corner of Turtle Street.
But did not go out.
The other party is also in Tell Street!
The other party is watching everything nearby!
It's really like a spider!
After releasing so many silk threads, he quietly watched the prey struggling on the 'spider silk', while the other party hid in a dark corner, wasting the prey's physical strength bit by bit.
then
One hit kill!
Jason closed his eyes.
The temporary +0.3 perception given by [Blind Fighting] allowed him to more accurately grasp the end of the 'spider silk'.
But that's all.
What's inside
Who's in there
How many people are there
Jason didn't know anything.
Jason stood up from the crate, and he pretended to move around inside 19 Tell Street, and at the same time, inspected the outside—this is the quality that every "city that never sleeps" should have, and it's not too abrupt.
Even if Jason patrols a little more frequently, it's the same.
After doing all this, Jason returned to the crate. He pulled off a blanket and pretended to be sleeping. Relying on the cover of the blanket, he secretly opened the black notebook as before.
he chooses...
