The bright and warm sun in the morning turned into darkness as Jason walked forward.
The warm feeling disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Even the sudden disappearance caused a cold feeling.
In front of Jason's eyes, the dining table was still the same, and the tableware was still the same.
The high-backed chair is still so uncomfortable.
The feeling of restraint makes even the most comfortable chair unbearable.
Hurrah!
On the dining table, the black notebook was spinning without any wind, and the words began to appear one by one on the slightly yellowed paper——
[The purity of clear soup is not a single ingredient, but the sublimation of its essence.]
【It is fragrant and delicious.】
【Destined to be unforgettable for you.】
(Note: Its sublimation, I hope you can really taste it!)
Just like the previous 'after-dinner' maxims, this time is no exception.
"Essential sublimation?"
Jason frowned slightly.
At this moment, he thought a lot, the three Johns, poor Edward, Findilt, the mastermind behind everything, Cortana, the old general, the old instructor, etc., as well as the talented Bo Lun and Kemi, etc.
wait.
Eventually, these figures slowly dispersed.
No!
Instead of dispersing, it was enveloped by the light of another figure.
‘Witch’!
Jason really still remembers the ‘Witch’.
After all, no one would commit suicide in front of him.
"The sublimation of ordinary people is... mental illness?"
When Jason thought of the 'witch', he couldn't help but think of this answer.
Then, Jason quickly shook his head.
No.
impossible.
He thinks too much.
"The sublimation of ordinary people should lead to a more beautiful existence."
"It's like being jealous when eating dumplings."
"When you eat hairy tripe, it tastes like chili pepper."
Jason stood firm in his thoughts.
The words on the notebook continue to emerge——
[Main mission: Perfect!]
[Hunting performance: excellent!]
[Cooking performance: mediocre!]
[Combat performance: Excellent!]
[Search performance: mediocre!]
[Comprehensive evaluation: almost excellent!]
(Note: Do you need a spoon?)
…
Looking at the overall evaluation of 'almost excellent', Jason was not surprised.
In the previous dungeon world, he had almost never left the "Cherry City", and his exploration of "Cherry City" was almost superficial. Some hidden places were not explored at all, so the search was naturally mediocre.
As for ‘cooking performance’?
emmmm……
It’s really hard to put into words.
He also hopes to learn some cooking skills.
However, this is difficult.
It's harder than imagined.
In the dungeon world, he had too many things to consider and deal with.
There are so many that there is no chance or time to learn cooking skills.
In other words, he simply cannot 'give up immediate gains' and look at it from a 'long-term perspective'.
It’s not that Jason doesn’t know the importance of ‘long-term’ development.
It's just that he is still on the 'edge of survival' in front of him.
Do you want to talk about "ideal and future" to a person who is so hungry that he can't even eat three meals a day?
This is really a bit difficult.
Simply put, he is still too weak.
Weak to the point of being unworthy.
well!
Jason sighed silently in his heart.
He also wants to eat well-cooked food!
No one loves delicious food more than he does.
However, reality does not allow it.
Unable to help it, Jason sighed again.
Then, he looked at the notebook that was glowing with light.
Black iron and bronze two-color cards like the previous [Esophagus Enhancement] appeared.
On the front of the card is a nose, with a depiction of airflow at the nostrils.
[Smell enhancement: Food and taste are inherently integrated. Your sense of smell has been strengthened, which not only allows you to smell food from farther away, but also allows you to distinguish the differences in detail. 】
…
The text in front of me flashes.
As before, [Smell Strengthening] appears next to [Esophagus Strengthening], [Teeth Strengthening], [Taste Strengthening], [Anti-Poison Strengthening], [Gastrointestinal Strengthening], and [Mouth Strengthening], and is located next to the talent [Predator]
】 is marked with the word 'passive'.
Jason's nose twitched.
He felt itchy.
Then, a surge of smell poured into the nose.
It has the fragrance of earth, the unique smell of wooden furniture in a humid environment, and the smell of metal tableware and cloth.
But, very quickly.
These flavors are all masked by the rich flavor of beef.
A palm-sized white ceramic bowl appeared in front of Jason.
There is clear, amber-colored soup in the bowl.
The physical restraints almost completely disappeared at this moment.
Jason picked up the bowl and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The steaming aroma comes straight to my mind.
He felt that all the pores in his body were opened.
"Huh?"
"No spoon?"
When Jason was about to drink the soup, he realized that what appeared was just a bowl of soup without a spoon.
In response, Jason subconsciously looked at the previous label: Do you need a spoon?
After a slight hesitation, Jason spoke tentatively.
"I need a spoon."
He said this.
Then……
Nothing happened.
White ceramic bowl or white ceramic bowl.
The soup is still the same delicious soup.
No spoon appears.
Jason paused for about two seconds and finally shrugged.
"I'm overthinking it."
Thinking in his heart, he picked up the soup bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
The salty flavor fills your mouth.
When the smell of the soup spread, Jason couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
Because this bowl of soup not only contains the thickness of beef, but also the unique taste of mixed beef offal, and...beef marrow!
Although it was just a bowl of soup, Jason felt like he was eating a whole cow.
Amazing!
Jason thought to himself as he raised the soup bowl higher and higher.
Finally, after all the soup entered his mouth, Jason stuck out his tongue and licked the soup bowl again.
【Try the ‘almost excellent’ grade ‘beef soup’! 】
[Physical strength, energy, and injuries are fully recovered!]
[Attribute points +0.1]
…
With the increase in attribute points this time, Jason's attributes became [strength 5.1, agility 4.6, constitution 5.4, spirit 3.4, and perception 7.0].
Perception has finally crossed the 7 mark under normal conditions.
Compared with when we first entered the world of 'Beef Soup' dungeon, strength, agility, constitution, and spirit, strength has increased from 3.7→5.1, agility 3.5→4.6, constitution 4.4→5.4, and spirit 2.6→3.4. Each item has been greatly improved.
increase.
However, Jason understood that this was not enough.
He's still too far gone.
call!
Taking a deep breath, Jason looked at the notebook again.
【The essence of sublimation makes everything unpredictable.】
【You can keep the taste of this moment.】
【You can also pursue the taste later.】
[Of course, satiety and excitement about eating are the key!]
[Y/N spend 300 satiety points and 20 food excitement points to return to the copy of ‘Beef Soup’? 】
…
Compared to returning to 'Sparkling Water' which costs 500 points of satiety and 30 points of excitement, returning to the world of 'Beef Soup' is naturally much cheaper, but 300 points of satiety and 20 points of excitement are not enough for the hero at this moment.
For Sen, it is still an unbearable burden.
Silently, Jason looked away.
He is waiting to return to the 'city that never sleeps'.
The feeling of restraint returned again.
He is about to return to the 'city that never sleeps'.
However, at this moment, Jason suddenly thought of something extremely important.
We said beef soup, where’s the beef?
The next moment, Jason appeared at 19 Tell Street.
Wearing his original clothes and a hockey mask, he sat on a crate with his beloved machete on his knees.
Then, in an instant, he sensed something.
When he was last sent to No. 19, Ter Street, Anhui, Jason's perception was 5.7. Relying on the blessing of various skills, he could barely sense the existence of something around him.
But this time it's different.
Although I still can't see or touch it.
But he could sense the general 'appearance' of this thing.
silk!
Thin silk threads crisscross the entire No. 19 Tell Street.
Every time he stood up or walked around, he would touch such threads.
His body passed through such threads, and nothing happened. As he walked by, these threads would change back to their original shape, just like Jason walked through a 'light'.
But really nothing happened?
When walking again, Jason closed his eyes.
The temporary +0.3 perception granted by [Blind Fight] immediately made him discover the difference again.
When these silk threads are touched by him again, they will tremble and send out 'waves', which will be transmitted to the distance along the 'silk thread' itself.
Jason subconsciously chased such a transmission.
But this kind of transmission is too fast, fast, and concealed.
He discovered these 'threads', but only in front of his eyes.
far away?
He knows nothing.
This made Jason quite uncomfortable.
When he thought that he was surrounded by such 'threads', Jason almost subconsciously thought that he had become the 'prey' falling into a huge spider web.
Every struggle will attract spiders closer.
then?
Being hunted.
"It's still too weak!"
"prey?"
"This is not what I expected."
Jason thought to himself.
Jason was absolutely wary of this 'big man''s 'collaborator'.
He won't act until he understands everything about the other party.
Maintaining his role as 'his' postman, Jason began to patrol around No. 19 Tell Street. He deliberately looked out at the street outside through the cracks in the windows.
The burning car had already been extinguished.
The whole street was dark.
The mixed fog made the street extremely dark.
The wind blowing from nowhere will cause the fog to roll for a moment, as if a huge monster is about to pounce out.
And in fact?
Just a few people hiding in the mist waved their swords towards each other, or stabbed out their daggers.
The fog rolls endlessly.
Blood began to spread.
Bang!
The sound of a gunshot completely made the whole street boil.
Bang bang bang!
Ta-ta-ta!
Although it is not dense, the gunfire at this moment can be said to be a steady stream.
With Jason's current perception, he can clearly see everything outside.
It’s nothing more than ‘everyday life in the city that never sleeps’.
Everyday life is happening every moment.
Regardless of day or night.
There is no distinction between regions.
he tui!
Jason maintained the first reaction of a resident of the "City that Never Sleeps" when encountering similar things. Then, he began to strengthen the "defense" of No. 19 Tell Street, pretending to defend it to the death.
Jason waited until the sound of gunfire disappeared and the sound of fighting stopped before Jason returned to the previous room again.
He sat on the crate again.
Just like before, he secretly opened the black notebook.
Soup of choice (bisque): Cream of Mushroom Soup.
As 7 points of satiety were consumed, more words appeared on the textured paper.
【Thick soup, mouth-watering.】
【Not just its taste.】
【And its tolerance.】
【It's not the main dish.】
【But it will make you look forward to the main course even more!】
[Remember: The soup should be hot!]
…
As usual, after words similar to proverbs, √ appears after [Cream of Mushroom Soup].
Then, there are the notes——
[Background: Do you want freedom? Do you want wealth? Come on! Come on! Come and participate in this 'crazy game'. No matter who you are, you can get what you want here——
As a crazy guy, you have done too many chilling things, so you were arrested. This is a natural thing, but fate always takes a turn, and you were thrown into this madness.
In the game, as one of the 'violators', you started this 'crazy game'...]
[Main mission: Win the finals championship! 】
[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 soup.)
…
Crazy guy?
Chilling stuff?
Torturer?
Jason looked at these depictions, and finally his eyes fell on the name 'Crazy Game'.
Although there is not much information, it is enough for Jason to make some guesses.
And such speculation is naturally not wonderful.
Although he does not think that he is a crazy guy, nor does he do anything shocking, nor should he be arrested, but with such an identity, being arrested and being involved in such a game, then... who controls this game
People, in the world of 'bisque', naturally have quite terrifying power.
Moreover, Jason has not forgotten the identity he was given.
The violent one.
Or to be precise, one of the sadists!
Since there are tormentors.
There must be opposing camps.
What will it be?
Jason frowned secretly.
The next moment, the scenery in front of me changed.
He left the 'city that never sleeps' again.
He appeared in a... cell?
Jason, who was wearing a hockey mask, looked at the iron gate in front of him and the extremely small lookout, and then looked down at his prison uniform and the shackles that bound his hands and feet.
Jason began to make sure he reached out of the cell.
He moved his arm slightly.
Wow.
The shackles were deeply embedded in the thick wall and were extremely strong. Even with his strength that was five times stronger than that of an ordinary person, it was difficult to shake it at all.
Jason frowned and prepared to continue checking his surroundings.
But at this moment, Jason's expression suddenly changed.
