With a slight movement of his body, Jason sat down in the high-backed chair again.
Back.
Looking at the familiar quaint round table, dark tablecloth and silver tableware in front of him, Jason breathed a sigh of relief.
After he attended the funeral, the words in front of him reminded him that he had been recognized by the city.
With a city recognition of 1500%, he left Xinde City.
call.
Taking a slight breath, Jason looked at the black note placed next to the tableware.
Wow!
Amidst the sound of pages turning, the black notebook opened.
【The black cloth covers my eyes, but it cannot cover my nose.】
【I come here for delicious food.】
【Slightly hot food is more delicious.】
【tasty.】
(Note: The first hot dish must be fresh in the memory!)
…
The text goes down in order, and more detailed explanations appear one by one.
[Main mission: Perfect! (Exceeded)]
[Hunting performance: excellent!]
[Cooking performance: mediocre!]
[Combat performance: Excellent!]
[Search performance: Excellent!]
[Comprehensive evaluation: almost excellent!]
(Note: There will only be more and more delicious food, don’t miss it too much!)
…
After scanning the words one by one, Jason, who had experienced it twice, waited silently.
The next moment, an increasingly intense light appeared from within the notebook.
A card emerges from the notebook.
It is different from the previous cards that were completely black and had a metallic luster.
What appears on this card is bronze.
On the front of the card is a picture of a wide open 'mouth'.
[Mouth strengthening: The muscles, bones, nerves, etc. of your mouth have been strengthened. It can open wider and swallow larger food directly! 】
…
Like the previous [Teeth Strengthening], [Taste Strengthening], [Poison Resistance Strengthening] and [Gastrointestinal Strengthening], [Mouth Strengthening] also appears under the talent [Predator], and is marked with the word 'Passive'.
The moment it appeared, Jason felt itchy around his mouth.
Soon, the itching feeling spread to the entire face.
Then, involuntarily, he opened his mouth.
roar!
A mouth big enough to swallow a whole watermelon was opened, and the sound of the wind was like the roar of a giant beast, while the fangs inside glowed with cold light, making people shudder.
It lasted two full seconds before Jason closed his mouth.
He wanted to touch his mouth.
However, the restraints of the chair prevented him from moving.
The chair restricted his actions, but it could not restrict his thoughts.
"Am I still a human being?"
Such doubts appeared in Jason's mind.
Then, immediately, Jason gave the answer.
"Calculate!"
"If you have a big mouth, how can you not be considered a human being?"
"If you digest it quickly, of course you are considered a human being."
"So, I am 100% purebred."
With such a positive answer, Jason felt at ease immediately, which allowed him to experience his changes in more detail. It seemed that the changes this time were more obvious than before.
“Is bronze better than black iron?”
Jason guessed.
The changes in black notebooks are still ongoing.
A dazzling light appeared on the black notebook.
A rich fragrance began to appear.
When the brilliance reached an extreme, the silver dinner plate also shimmered with brilliance.
The two photos echo each other.
Then, the light disappeared together.
The notebook has returned to its original appearance.
On the dinner plate, a fried pork roll appeared.
The golden skin is almost crystal clear, and you can clearly see the meat filling inside. A rich meat flavor has hit your face, but there is still a hint of fragrance.
Mint and cantaloupe!
Jason instantly identified which ingredient the flavor came from.
The next moment, Jason raised his hand and took the fried pork roll in his hand.
Click!
After taking the first bite, the puff pastry kept falling down with a crisp sound. Jason held the fried pork roll in one hand and followed it up with the other.
In his mouth, the meat filling full of soup juice was already filling his mouth. Jason didn't bother to taste it carefully, and just sucked on the crispy fried meat roll he bit into.
Suck!
The rich soup is not as heavy as expected, but rather light.
After just adding a hint of mint and cantaloupe, it complements the taste of the meat and makes it even more plump.
Click, click!
After two bites, the entire meat roll entered Jason's stomach.
Jason didn't waste what was in his left palm and poured it directly into his mouth.
A little puff pastry reminded Jason of the delicious crispy rolls.
【Try the ‘almost perfect’ level ‘Fried Pork Crispy Roll’! 】
[Physical strength, energy, and injuries are fully recovered!]
[Attribute points +0.3]
…
"The higher the rating, the higher the attribute points you will get?"
Jason looked at the scene in front of him and guessed.
Then, he directly added these 0.3 attribute points to his physique.
reason?
It's very simple, he wants to have a stronger physique, he wants to be harder, he wants to be more difficult to die, and he wants to maximize his "immortality".
Gained 0.3 points of physical constitution and jumped directly to 3 points.
Three times the physique of an ordinary person gave Jason a sense of security again.
His eyes looked at the black notebook again.
【The more perfect a dish is, the more difficult it is to taste it again.】
【But there is nothing that cannot be solved by satiety.】
[Yes/No, spend 75 satiety points and return?]
…
"75 points!"
Jason was startled.
It’s 25 points more than returning to the world of ‘Crab Salad’.
"Is it because the evaluation level is higher, so it costs more to return?"
Jason thought as the black notebook in front of him turned the pages again.
Page 3: Appetizers paired with wine (drinks).
【Appetizers paired with wine】
【You have three choices:】
【1, sweet wine】
【2, sour wine】
【3, Sparkling water】
[Choose 1, you need to consume 5 points of satiety.]
[Choose 2, you need to consume 5 points of satiety.]
[Choose 3, you need to consume 6 satiety points.]
(Note: You can only choose one of the three wine pairings and drinks. After you complete the main mission and return, the remaining two are unavailable.)
…
New changes!
Jason looked at the marked content intently.
"Can't select all?"
"You can only choose one of three?"
Although Jason directly excluded the so-called 'sweet wine' and 'sour wine', this method of not being able to choose them all still made him feel that life was incomplete.
When it comes to choice, you must have both to be complete!
With this sigh, Jason returned to No. 19 Tell Street. He still maintained the posture he left before, wearing a hockey mask, sitting on the crate, with a broad-bladed short-handled machete on his knees.
As for other items?
As the 'stealer' was eaten by him, it disappeared without a trace when the entire Xinde City was replaced and integrated.
Including his wallet, shotgun, grenades, etc.
This made Jason feel uncomfortable.
Without heavy weapons around him, he always felt empty inside.
but……
At this time, it is unrealistic for some heavy weapons to appear out of thin air.
The person who is 'monitoring' this place can tolerate him playing some tricks, but he will never allow such a situation that 'goes against common sense' to occur.
Once it appears, it will be a direct battle.
And who he is now?
He is obviously no match for the other party.
He just closed his eyes and tried to find the 'watcher'.
But nothing was found.
There are only two possibilities.
If the opponent's strength wasn't so much higher than his, he wouldn't be able to detect it.
Otherwise, the other party's methods were so weird that he couldn't find it.
No matter which one it is, he can't deal with it now.
Jason, who has gradually understood the 'mysterious side', knows very well how terrifying it will be when you face an unknown enemy from the 'mysterious side'.
Even, you can't imagine where the attack comes from.
Jason definitely didn't want to face this bad situation.
So, he endured it.
He stood up pretending to be nothing, picked up the bottle of water, opened it, smelled it, and drank it in one gulp.
The cold water made Jason calmer and calmer.
No rush.
No rush.
I'll take my time.
Let’s talk about it after I finish eating everything on the ‘menu’!
If I don’t reach the full level in the Novice Village, I will never leave the village!
Jason told himself silently.
Then, he picked up the black notebook again.
Choose appetizer to pair with wine (beverage): sparkling water!
After 6 points of satiety are consumed, more words begin to appear on the notebook.
【Some foods do not exist alone.】
【They need to cooperate.】
【even though……】
【Before, it was very difficult to eat!】
[Remember: This is the wine and drink that goes with your appetizer]
…
After the conventional text, √ appears after [Sparkling Water].
Then, there are comments——
[Background: You have had enough experiences, their complexity and horror are unbelievable to ordinary people, and you can no longer integrate into ordinary people's lives. You live in isolation, but some rumors about you still interest some people.
They want to contact you, identify you, and... take you in!]
[Main mission: Survive for 30 days, 0/30.]
[Acquire a temporary language and disappear automatically when leaving the instance]
[Clothing, appearance, and equipment are temporarily changed and will be automatically restored when leaving the instance]
[Detecting Gunpowder Weapons]
(Tip: Enjoy your appetizer pairings.)
…
As Jason recorded the words, the notebook was closed.
He appeared again in a strange world.
The first thing you see is a small alley. There is a trash can at the entrance, blocking most of the entry and exit passages. The buildings on both sides are extremely tall, making the alley narrow, which also makes the sky narrow.
Jason looked up and saw that the gray-blue sky was only the size of a palm.
But right in this palm-sized place, a plane flew by smoothly.
It was the plane in his memory.
"Similar to the 'hometown' in my memory?"
Jason guessed.
Then, he looked at himself.
Black jeans, with the corners already worn white, a black sports sweater, and a pair of sneakers of the same color on the feet. There is a backpack on the back, which is also black. Jason can guess what's inside without checking.
Wearing his own mask and weapons.
After digging through his pockets and checking his backpack, Jason confirmed that he did not have any coins or identification on him.
Jason frowned.
This is not a good thing for him.
You know, in the background introduction, it was clearly stated that someone wanted to 'accommodate' him.
The main mission of surviving for 30 days is even more cruel.
Under such a premise, not even having proof of identity or coins would undoubtedly make things worse.
Perhaps most of the time, identification can be ignored.
It may also become a clue for others to confirm and track him.
But what about coins?
He always needs to eat.
Steal, rob, cheat?
With his ability, it is naturally easy to do this.
However, his pride prevented him from doing such a thing.
Begging?
Same thing.
"How do I get coins?"
Jason was thinking about it as he walked out of the alley.
And at this moment——
squeak!
With the sound of rapid braking, a black muscle car stopped at the entrance of the alley.
A group of heavily armed soldiers jumped out of the car, aiming their fully automatic weapons at Jason.
Little red dots appeared on Jason's body.
Then, the sound of propellers came from overhead.
A rope hung down.
One after another, the elites started rappelling.
They appeared behind Jason, and the guns in their hands were pointed at Jason.
Then, in Jason's perception, one after another, vigilant eyes came from a distance.
Sniper!
Jason confirmed instantly.
But this isn't the end.
The helicopter that released the rappelling personnel just hovered in the sky, and an airborne machine gun was aimed at Jason from a high altitude.
Moreover, figures appeared from the rooftops on both sides, carrying... rocket launchers on their shoulders?!
Jason blinked.
With vision that was almost four times that of ordinary people, he confirmed that those people were carrying rocket launchers!
And, not one.
There are twelve on each side.
On the rooftops on both sides are... twenty-four.
Twenty-four rockets were fired in unison. In such a narrow place, he had nowhere to escape, let alone such a pincer attack from the front and back, and there was an airborne machine gun in the sky.
A complete dragnet!
What a nightmare start!
Jason thought secretly in his heart.
However, his face remained calm.
His body did not move, he just turned his head to look at the elites behind him, then returned to his normal appearance, looking straight ahead, as if the groups of soldiers in front of him did not exist.
Jason believed that since the other party had set up such a formation but did not attack from the beginning, they would definitely send someone to talk to him.
In fact, it was just as Jason guessed.
About 5 seconds after this formation started, a man who was also heavily armed came out.
The other person's figure is similar to Jason's, both are extremely tall.
In his hand was a grenade gun.
The other party did not pass over the soldiers, but pointed the gun at Jason, and then said:
"Mr. Jason, we don't mean any harm."
No malice?
Jason seemed to have heard some joke. He raised his hand and pointed around.
But just such a small movement made the atmosphere around him tense. Jason could clearly feel that the people around him were breathing faster and their pupils were dilated.
Especially the person who spoke, holding a grenade gun, took a step back.
It is obvious that the other party has a considerable advantage.
But the feeling at this moment made Jason feel that he was the one with the advantage.
This feeling is a bit strange.
However, Jason did not intend to continue to experience it.
