Sitting at the dining table, feeling the restraints above his back, Jason was stunned.
Then he shook his head.
With his constitution, it is impossible for him to catch a cold.
The only possibility is that the fight with the 'big snake' just made his newly recovered body feel uncomfortable.
Thinking of the overwhelming power of the 'Orochi' at the last moment, Jason couldn't help but take a breath.
"I'm still too weak."
He just had no room to fight back.
And the 'Orochi' didn't use any more power.
Just crushing again and again.
If it weren't for his extraordinary talent and calculated time, he would have truly died at this time.
Of course, the final result is also obvious.
【Satiety: 103】
【The excitement of eating:140】
…
Previously, the satiety level was 3103 points.
Now there are only 103 points left.
"Did you die 1,000 times?"
Jason calculated silently without any further expression.
For Jason, death is really something he is used to.
From the initial shooting and stabbing, to being beheaded, dismembered, and now to the death without a complete body, he was used to it.
If this continues, his tombstone will most likely be able to circle the equator of his hometown.
But, it doesn't matter.
Isn't he still alive now?
While alive, there are endless possibilities.
This is true whether it is becoming stronger or hunting prey.
Wow!
On the dining table, a black notebook winds automatically.
The pages of the book opened quickly.
[After swallowing ‘precious food’, the predator’s talent will be improved...]
【Judgment passed!】
【Predator II→Predator III】
[Predator III: Certain 'foods' will never appear in ordinary people's diets, 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, here I only have endangered species that have been eaten to several levels! And when
As you go further and further on the road of hunting, you will become more and more rational in using the talents you have; Effect: When you swallow 'abnormal food', you will not only gain the corresponding satiety, but also use satiety to
You can accomplish some incredible things quickly, and the satiety you gain will increase considerably.】
…
"Precious ingredients?"
"'Orochi'!"
Jason looked at the text in front of him and instantly knew the answer.
And the description changed from 'slightly' to 'quite', which surprised him even more.
Obviously, with the same 'food', he can get more satiety, which is a good thing anyway.
And, in the long run, this will be his fundamental strategy.
Quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes.
An extra 1-2 points of satiety at a time seems inconspicuous.
But what about ten times?
What about a hundred times?
Or... ten thousand times.
Over time, that will be a very scary value.
However, Jason's eyes fell on the description of 'precious ingredients' at this moment.
"'Precious' level ingredients can evolve my [Predator] talent."
"It used to be II, and now it's III. If we continue to upgrade in the future..."
"Can it trigger other special effects?"
Jason thought.
He didn't know the answer.
However, he thought he could give it a try.
He just wants to hunt 'precious ingredients', and now he still needs a little luck.
It’s not just a lack of strength.
How to elicit ‘precious ingredients’ in a dungeon world is also key.
It's not as easy as that.
Fortunately, Jason had done pretty well before.
after?
He will also work hard.
Wow.
The pages of the black notebook were turned over again.
The evaluation this time is shown above——
[Main mission: Perfect!]
[Hunting performance: perfect!]
[Cooking performance: mediocre!]
[Combat performance: perfect!]
[Search performance: mediocre!]
[Comprehensive evaluation: Excellent!]
(Note: Are the tableware ready?)
…
"It changed the original main mission, so it became perfect?"
"Cooking...um."
Jason looked at the 'Cooking' column with a complicated expression.
It's not that he doesn't want to show off his skills.
His love for food determines that he also loves cooking, but his cooking skills are really hard to describe! It is impossible to really cook a braised barbell, right?
Moreover, the most important point is that every time he fights, time is too tight and he has no time to cook properly.
Inexplicably, Jason misses his days at Lord's.
Although the risk is the same, it will at least give him a little buffer time to show off his cooking skills.
"Oh, forget it, I don't want to anymore."
"There will always be a solution later."
Jason thought and looked at the 'Search' column.
Then, his heart began to hurt.
He has not searched the island at all.
‘Prosperous Moon’, ‘Onigawa’ and ‘Ryuugu’ near Urashima’s house. Just by hearing the names, Jason knew what he had missed.
Great meal!
A real feast!
But he really doesn't know what to do.
The sudden appearance of the 'big snake' made everything become even more sudden.
"Compared to direct combat, can I get more satiety by better allocating my time?"
Jason muttered to himself in his heart.
However, this is too difficult.
It’s much harder than hunting for ‘precious ingredients’.
After all, he has no foundation in the dungeon world and starts everything from scratch. If he wants to complete a 'perfect adjustment' and make everything comprehensive, the manpower and material resources he has to mobilize will be unimaginable. He simply cannot do it.
Less than.
Unless he has the ability or props to directly turn others into his captives.
but……
How could it be possible for a prop to have such an ability?
Even if there is, it must be kept secret.
Jason thought as two bronze-colored cards with a hint of silver emerged from the black notebook.
The front of the picture shows the appearance of a stomach pouch. However, this stomach pouch is different from the previous stomach and intestines pattern. There is liquid in the stomach pouch.
The image on the other front is a pool of... saliva?
【Gastric acid strengthening!】
[Stomach acid enhancement: Your digestive organs have been strengthened again. Your stomach acid can allow you to digest food faster. Of course, if you vomit it out, it can also corrode the enemy. 】
(Note: Your stomach acid is different from that of ordinary people. It has undergone qualitative changes. Please do not aim it at non-enemies.)
…
【Saliva Strengthening!】
[Saliva strengthening: Your saliva has been strengthened. It can soften food, enhance digestion, and also have an excellent sterilizing effect. 】
(Note: In fact, you can use saliva to disinfect food.)
…
"Stomach acid? Saliva?"
Jason was stunned when he looked at the two passive enhancements.
Especially after seeing the two annotations.
Acid attack?
It may be of some use, but it is unlikely to have a decisive effect.
After all, even my stomach acid cannot become aqua regia.
As for saliva disinfection?
It's even more impossible.
I'm used to using traditional methods that are more in line with my ideas.
Jason thought silently.
At the same time, carefully feel the changes in your body.
As the saliva was swallowed, the stomach moved slightly.
More energetic and more tenacious than before.
Then--
Goo!
My stomach made a long, hungry sound.
He looked at the dining table, waiting for the food this time, and his heart was filled with anticipation.
You know, this is excellent food.
On the long table, an oval white porcelain plate appeared.
The plate is not big, just like a hotel dinner plate. It is pure white, with one side high and one side flat, forming a bevel shape. There is a golden pastry box in the center of the plate.
The pastry box is half the size of a fist.
Although it was completely sealed, Jason could already smell a faint fragrance.
As soon as the feeling of restraint disappeared, Jason immediately took a small spoon and opened the top layer of pastry in the pastry box.
Just like a lid, when the puff pastry is opened, the rich 'seafood flavor' suddenly bursts out.
Prawns, fresh scallops, cod meat, and mussels come in different colors and are cut into small cubes, blooming with their own flavors.
Jason immediately scooped up a spoonful and put it in his mouth.
Spring, fresh and tender.
The taste explodes instantly.
And when asparagus, carrots, onions, celery, and diced broccoli enter your mouth, it becomes even more crispy.
It was a long-awaited crunch.
As long as you chew it, you can make a crunching sound.
Pepper and salt, this taste provides the best combination.
Cream and white wine make the taste purer.
The sweet cream has a hint of alcoholic flavor, not overpowering, but slightly spicy, just right to remove the fishy smell of prawns, fresh scallops, cod meat, and mussels, while retaining the original meaty flavor.
One spoonful, two spoons, three spoons.
Jason chewed.
Best of all, he even picked up the pastry box and threw it into his mouth.
Click!
The unique crispiness of the pastry appears.
Suddenly, everything sublimated.
call!
Jason leaned back in the high-backed chair, squinted his eyes slightly, and let out a long breath.
"tasty."
He commented like this.
[Try the ‘Excellent’ level ‘Seafood Crispy Box’! 】
[Physical strength, energy, and injuries are fully recovered!]
[Attribute points +0.2]
…
As familiarity increases, Jason's attributes at this time have changed to——
Is there anything more exciting than tasting delicious food?
Naturally, while eating, one becomes stronger.
Jason clearly felt his body strengthen again at this moment, and he sat up straighter slightly.
"Not enough!"
"Next time, I will definitely be stronger!"
"come on!"
Jason secretly cheered for himself, but looked at the black note again.
The words above began to change in my heart.
【Hunting is enjoyable.】
【But it also brings about changes.】
[Unable to return to the world of ‘Seafood Crispy Box’]
…
Seeing this prompt, Jason was not surprised.
When the 'Orochi' entered the 'real world', Jason knew that this might happen.
He started flipping through the black notebook.
When I saw that the world of 'table manners' was still lit, I was completely relieved.
For Jason, as long as the world of Lord is not affected, it will be fine.
After all, he still has too many things to do when he returns to Lord World.
He once again glanced at the side dishes world of [Cheese and Ham] and [Tomato Cheese Chicken Steak], and with the completion of the [Seafood Crispy Box] world, he could also choose one of the first two.
As for which one to choose?
Jason had already planned it.
【Cheese and ham】!
Compared to choosing the more difficult [Tomato Cheese Chicken Steak], Jason is more willing to choose the slightly less difficult [Cheese and Ham].
Perhaps there can be more gains in the world of [Tomato Cheese Chicken Steak].
However, Jason is already wary of the changes in Black Note. Under such a premise, Jason should choose a more risky and radical approach?
That's impossible.
Jason could only choose a safer approach.
Then, slowly plan.
after all--
Survive in the midst of hardship, seek victory in the midst of life!
This is the correct approach.
Taking a deep breath, Jason felt the force of restraint appearing on his body again. The next moment, he appeared in No. 19 Tell Street again.
The mask is on the face, and the short-handled broad-bladed machete is in the hand.
Just like before.
There is no change at all.
In other words, there are some changes that Jason cannot detect yet.
However, Jason will never lose his two most beloved items like last time.
The last time, after returning to No. 19 Tell Street, it was back in my own hands.
This is something to be thankful for.
But Jason couldn't guarantee that it would be the same every time.
There is no guarantee that this kind of 'lost and found' will have any impact on him.
So, this time, he chose to pick it up himself.
His fingers rubbed the handle of the knife, and Jason, who was wearing a mask, closed his eyes. The temporary +0.3 perception granted by [Blind Fight] instantly made his perception more than 11 times that of an ordinary person.
The 'thin lines' that filled No. 19 Tell Street suddenly appeared in Jason's perception.
Different from the previous looming.
This time, Jason confirmed that these spider web-like ‘thin lines’ came from the intersection of Tell Street.
According to the map he memorized before, that should be...
3 Tell Street.
It is a building with one less floor than 19 Tell Street.
Only one of the original three floors remains, the courtyard wall has collapsed, there are signs of burning and explosions nearby, and the house number no longer exists.
Jason recognized it because it was recorded in the information.
Otherwise, Jason wouldn't be able to identify it at all.
"At No. 3 Tell Street?"
Jason thought in his heart, stood up and started walking around No. 19 Tell Street as before.
It seems to be an activity, and it also seems to be a patrol.
If you should touch the 'thin line', touch the 'thin line', and there will be no discomfort at all.
Then, after he completed his tour of No. 19 Tell Street, he walked outside.
Carefully keep yourself in the shadows, not exposing yourself to any view, let alone walking into the open space.
Just like other residents of the ‘city that never sleeps’.
He looked around like other residents of the city that never sleeps.
About three minutes later, Jason returned to 19 Tell Street.
After restoring the previous traps one by one, he sat on the crate again.
The seemingly calm Jason's heart was racing rapidly.
"No trace of activity."
"Enter in advance?"
"still……"
"Is that simply an underground stronghold?"
Jason's thoughts favored the latter.
The other party has obviously been planning the layout in front of them for a long time. Although an underground stronghold may seem difficult to ordinary residents of the "Sleepless City", it is a must for the other party.
Even, when necessary, it will become a 'bait'.
Just like No. 19 where he is.
Jason guessed. Suddenly, his fingers hidden in his sleeves trembled and lightly touched the handle of the knife.
