The moonlight was bright and the wind blew slowly.
People all over Cherry City raised their heads and looked at the silent night sky.
They seemed to be still looking for the disappeared 'Witch's House', as if only by maintaining such actions could they ease the turbulent emotions in their hearts.
After more than ten seconds, the silence was broken by someone's footsteps.
Just like a stone thrown into a lake, it creates ripples.
Everyone wakes up.
The ‘mysterious people’ all disappeared one after another with complicated emotions.
Ordinary people either stayed where they were and chatted in low voices, or turned around and returned home, while some smart people focused on those "mysterious people" who looked unusual.
A week ago, the "Ground Investigation Bureau"'s confession had already let ordinary people know that besides the world they are familiar with, there is another world.
They are curious and afraid of that strange world.
What is curious is the unknown.
The fear is also the unknown.
Of course, there is also...power!
Everyone desires to be born extraordinary.
When they are young, everyone thinks that they are born special.
As adults, everyone is forced to admit their own ordinaryness.
What do you do when an opportunity to be extraordinary arises?
Some people are still willing to be ordinary. Their edges have been smoothed by reality.
And some?
It's about seizing the opportunity.
They haven't compromised yet.
As for the results?
Most of the results were disastrous.
A small part is enviable.
However, none of this matters about Jason.
When the 'witch's farewell' was given, he became the focus of the courtyard.
Brian and McCall looked at Jason with the eyes of an expert, especially McCall who was holding a beer glass, and gave Jason a thumbs up gesture.
Jennifer, McCall met.
Although she looked a little nervous, he felt that Jennifer was unexpectedly suitable standing next to Jason. It was a feeling of matching aura. Under this feeling, McCall thought that 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, touching Daisy's head, silent, only when Daisy stretched out her tongue to lick him.
Only then would the gloomy man respond, whispering words of comfort to Daisy, just as Daisy comforted him.
The two little girls Terry and Cammy are different.
"snort!"
"I knew it!"
"Vixen!"
Terry said angrily, then turned her head and took Kemi's hand, comforting Kemi softly.
"Don't worry Kemi!"
"Any vixen will only be qualified to make scarves, gloves and hats in the end!"
"Victory belongs to us!"
After saying that, Terry made a cheering gesture towards her best friend.
Cammy chuckled and shook his head.
"I'm not worried."
"Although it's a little uncomfortable, I think... this is normal."
"normal?"
"Is it normal there?"
Kemi's words puzzled Terry.
"Jason's excellence will attract other ladies. This is normal!"
"And me?"
"You have to become better than other ladies!"
Kemi explained with a smile.
Faced with such an explanation, Terry subconsciously wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt something was strange.
Eventually, Terry fell into a silent state of thinking.
until
thump!
Delbon, who was sitting in the farthest corner, slipped from the wooden chair and knelt directly there.
"Delbon, what's wrong with you?"
Terri asked.
After Delbon promised to return 4,993 yuan out of the 5,000 yuan and calculate the interest according to the standards given by the bank in Cherry City that day, Terry generously chose to forgive Delbon.
"It's okay, I drank too much and my legs are a little weak."
Delbon, who was holding the orange juice, said vaguely.
At this moment, the member of the 'Clock Tower' stationed in the 'Ground Investigation Bureau' looked at Jason with eyes that were no longer pure awe, but also full of admiration.
How could he and the ‘witch’ have a child so quickly?!
It’s so frustrating…
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 being sour.
As for whether the ‘witch’ can lie to people?
That's impossible!
Delbon would never doubt this.
Everyone admits that the "witch" is crazy, but the crazy "witch" has one thing that everyone must admit: keeping promises and being honest.
Quite contradictory, right?
People who are called "witches" are actually always considered to be honest and keep their promises.
Maybe because...she's crazy?
But no matter what, after this "little bit" appeared, Delbon became even more envious.
At this moment, Delbon even felt an impulse in his heart!
He wants to become a disciple of Jason and learn 'how to communicate correctly with women'!
In this way, he is no longer alone, can have a happy family, and can also implement the 'family man's ways' he learned from John, Brian, and McCall.
Thinking about it, Delbon became excited.
But soon, Delbon calmed down.
He has the qualities of a teacher.
He respected his teacher very much.
It was his teacher who extended a helping hand to him in the most difficult time and taught him precious knowledge, so he abandoned his teacher...
No no no!
I can't do this!
I want to stick to my own moral principles!
A voice sounded in Delbon's mind.
You’re thirty and don’t have a girlfriend!
Do you want to be alone for the rest of your life?
Do you want to be like your teacher and still be alone when you are one hundred and fifty?
Another voice also sounded.
Two voices were arguing in Delbon's mind, causing Delbon to hesitate.
Jason completely came back to his senses at this time.
Crazy bitch.
He thought silently in his heart, then chewed the meat in his mouth and swallowed it.
Feeling the unique soft texture of the mutton and the moistness of the suet between his teeth, Jason couldn't help but let out a long breath.
"The moonlight is beautiful tonight?"
"but……"
“Tonight’s supper tastes even better!”
Jason murmured softly.
Then, Jason stood up, waved to the three Johns, and walked straight into the 'fortress'.
Dinner has already been eaten.
What’s next?
Of course it's midnight snack time.
After touching the finger-sized crystal that Jennifer gave him, Jason's saliva began to secrete again.
The fragrance on this crystal was unlike anything he had ever smelled before.
What would that taste like?
Jason thought about this and his steps became faster and faster.
As soon as he returned to the underground room and closed the door, he couldn't help but take out the crystal.
Under the light of the room, this crystal glowed with strange fire, like the heat rising from a rich assorted pot under the flame.
Jason opened his mouth, stuck out his tongue, and gently touched the crystal with the tip of his tongue.
He wanted to taste it first.
Then
Jason disappeared.
It didn't even vaporize and completely disappeared.
The crystal fell out of thin air.
Just when the crystal was about to fall to the ground, a hand caught it firmly.
Jason reappeared and put the crystal in front of his eyes. There was a hint of surprise on his face, but it was more of a surprise.
The surprise is that because of the special nature of this crystal, it is similar to the energy core of the spacecraft.
The surprise is naturally because of the taste of this crystal, which is sweet and has an extraordinary elasticity. It is similar to jelly, but it is a hundred times sweeter than jelly.
'Remember: it is very dangerous and you must have the determination to never regret it before you can start!'
Jason couldn't help but think of the words of the 'witch'.
Previously he thought it was an adjective.
Now it seems that it can be understood as a quantifier.
"Can I eat it only if I die a hundred times?"
Jason silently looked at his satiety level.
After his 'accidental death', he still had 365 points of satiety.
121.6 lives...enough!
Jason didn't hesitate and licked the crystal again.
Is it worth it to die a hundred times and lose 300 satiety points in exchange for a piece of 'food'?
Maybe it's not worth it in the eyes of others.
But in Jason's opinion, it was totally worth it.
Because this 'food' was purchased at the cost of a hundred deaths, its value should be more than a hundred deaths.
Jason is sure of this!
He had a taste.
His tongue will not lie to him.
disappear, appear.
Appear, disappear.
Jason stood in the room like a phantom, changing continuously.
A hundred times!
Not bad once!
Just like the witch said, after a hundred times, it really begins.
When Jason's tongue touched the crystal for the hundred and first time, the outer layer of the crystal was licked open by Jason.
Click!
There was a crisp sound, and a crack appeared on the crystal.
Light waves rippled inside, as if there was juice sloshing around.
Jason threw the crystal into his mouth without hesitation.
Sweet!
A refreshing sweetness filled Jason's taste buds from the crystal, and Jason couldn't help but bite it with his teeth.
Click!
There was another crisp sound.
The crystal shattered completely, and the juice inside completely burst out.
Jason's face suddenly became distorted.
acid!
So sour!
The sweet crystal shell is completely filled with juice that is so sour that it makes people tremble.
Almost subconsciously, Jason began to sip the shell of the crystal hard, hoping to dilute the sourness with sweetness.
This is undoubtedly the right thing to do.
Although the sweetness cannot completely eliminate the sourness.
But it makes the sour taste not so unacceptable.
and……
It seems sweet and sour?
Just a second later, Jason couldn't help chewing.
"Kind of like a chocolate sandwich."
"It's just a weird version."
"Tastes... great!"
Jason commented like this.
Because, after experiencing the initial sourness, the taste of this crystal was really great. The balance between sour and sweet was really the most perfect of all the food he had ever eaten.
The more it tastes, the sweeter it will be.
Anything less will be sour.
An inexplicable sense of balance lingered in Jason's mouth.
At the same time, a special power gradually integrated into Jason's soul due to the talent of [Predator].
【Swallow unknown power!】
[The unknown power is being determined, the determination is successful...]
[The swallowing judgment is in progress, the judgment is successful...]
[Get the talent ‘Thorns’! 】
[Thorns: Your unique soul from another world has become even more unique at this moment. Want to hurt me? You must have the consciousness to be killed by me! Effect: When you accept an 'attack', you will be harmed.
1% of the feedback is given to the attacker.】
…
No satiety.
There is no excitement about eating.
But Jason looked happy.
Because what emerges is talent!
Moreover, it is different from the passive talents listed under [Predator]. Although [Thorns] appears under [Predator], it does not belong to [Predator].
is independent.
"Thorns, thorns."
"Reverse damage 1%?"
"Does that mean if someone kills me a hundred times, the other person will definitely die?"
Jason thought almost subconsciously.
Then, he shook his head again.
1% retaliation damage is really too little, so little that as long as the person attacking him is not a fool, he will immediately find something wrong, stop the attack, and change his strategy.
Of course, not necessarily all.
For example: machinery!
There is no feeling, but extremely precise machinery!
Even 1% damage is enough to turn everything around!
Some combat strategies emerged in Jason's mind.
Then, naturally, he thought about whether [Thorns] could be upgraded?
He feels he can!
As long as he eats more crystals like before.
But where did those crystals come from?
Jennifer had left and he didn't know it.
Maybe we can inquire from the ‘mysterious side’ of this world?
Jason thought.
But deep down in his heart, Jason didn't have much hope.
Because he had a premonition.
This is what Jennifer is doing to 'prompt' him to fulfill his promise as soon as possible.
In fact, Jason now has the idea of looking for the 'witch'.
This thought made Jason frown.
"Has it been seen through?"
Jason whispered to himself.
Then, shrugged.
He is not afraid of having his weaknesses seen through, and he has been working hard to overcome such weaknesses.
In Jason's opinion, the 'witch's urging' in front of him will only make him more determined to overcome his weaknesses and give him more motivation.
Of course, it would be great if we could get more similar crystals.
Counterattack!
Jason looked at the effect of [Thorns] again.
He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
The emergence of [Thorns] completely made up for another of his shortcomings.
He doesn't care about what he can't break through.
Those who can break through his defense will have to bear the counter-injury of [Thorns].
To put it simply, he not only became thick and hard, but also had thorns!
Anyone who punches him will suffer the consequences of being stabbed to death.
Although this ‘thorn’ is not sharp enough!
But it’s enough!
Enough to give him more opportunities!
Of course, such a gain is accompanied by a significant reduction in satiety.
Seeing that there were only 65 points of satiety left, Jason became restless.
Without 100 lives, how can he feel at ease?
Just when Jason was thinking about how to replenish his satiety, the phone in his study rang.
