Sitting in the gloomy dining room, his own sneezes echoing in his ears, Jason was stunned.

The feeling of restraint in the high-backed chair is still there.

Same as before.

"I have a cold?"

Jason thought subconsciously.

But then it was denied.

With his current physique, it is impossible to catch a cold.

Is that......

Someone misses me?

It can't be someone scolding me, right?

Such strong words......

It's possible!

Who could it be?

Jason thought about the right person, and then, after only two or three seconds, he just gave up.

He had many enemies, but he killed most of them.

The rest?

It's all something he can't do for the time being.

If such an enemy wants to curse him, he has no choice but to silently increase his strength, and then kill the other party.

Thinking of this, Jason took a deep breath and looked at the windless black notebook in front of him.

[The richness of the soup is always memorable! 】

[It blooms on the taste buds in an instant. 】

It must be a joy in your life. 】

(Note: Please savor this rare joy!) ）

"Joy?"

Jason muttered to himself, his eyes locked on the words in front of him.

【Swallowing Althiox (Vital Parts)】

[Excess recovery of physical strength, energy, and injury!] 】

Satiety +600

[Satiety: 1024]

【Excitement of Food +5】

[Excitement of Food: 20]

……

[Swallowing 'Precious Ingredients', Predator Talent Promotion Judgment ......]

[Judgment passed!] 】

Predator→Predator II.

Predator II: Certain 'foods' will never appear on the diets of ordinary people, but you are different, your otherworldly soul makes you so different, and there is no 'food' that you can't eat—invasive species? Sorry, but there are only endangered species that have been eaten into several levels here! And as you go further and further on the road of predation, you will make more and more reasonable use of the talent you have; Effect: When you swallow 'anomalous food', not only will you gain the corresponding satiety, but you will also use it to accomplish some incredible things, and the satiety you gain will be slightly increased. 】

……

This is the text that appears after Jason is drinking the brains of his huge body.

A lot of satiety and excitement to be expected.

However, the promotion of the Precious Ingredient to his Root [Predator] was beyond Jason's expectations.

"A slight increase in satiety?"

Jason looked at the introduction of [Predator II.] talent and didn't have any doubts.

It can be directly understood that the same food, when the talent is [Predator], it will gain 10 satiety, and when the talent is promoted to [Predator II.], it will become 11 satiety.

Naturally, this is a pleasant surprise!

But the real surprise is what lies after the message.

The first promotion of [Predator] is related to satiety, but what about after that?

Could it be related to the excitement of eating?

It's really hard to get the excitement of eating.

Every time, Jason was stretched thin.

And now, I've finally found a way to slightly increase the amount of food excitement gained.

Of course, this method is also difficult.

Huge Body...... God's Body......

Next time, there won't be such a good opportunity.

Jason recalled the previous scene and sighed slightly in his heart.

Not every time you encounter a similar situation.

Even this time, it was full of thrills.

At the last moment, the occult technique used by the magpie's nest dove almost killed him, and in that short period of time, he died 650+ times in a row.

It was really so many deaths that he couldn't even count accurately.

Even when he forced himself back here, he sat on this restrained chair and gradually came back to his senses.

The difference in strength is too great!

"The ...... of the Gods"

Jason had the word in his mind.

Once again, he recognized the gap between himself and this kind of existence.

Don't say it's a god in his cognition.

Even if it's that kind of pseudo-god, demigod or something, he is far from being an opponent.

I still need to keep going strong!

Call!

Jason took a deep breath, his eyes growing more determined.

Setback?

Nature exists.

Frustrate?

There is also a little.

But he had a purpose.

And Jason has a pretty good habit of going for a goal when he has set it.

Stubborn?

Stubborn?

Others don't hit the south wall and don't look back!

And Jason?

I hit the south wall and don't look back!

He'll break through the south wall and make his way himself.

In front of his eyes, the words on the notebook appeared one by one-

[Main Quest: Excellent!] 】

[Predatory performance: perfect!] 】

[Cooking performance: mediocre! ] 】

[Combat performance: Excellent!] 】

[Search performance: mediocre!] 】

[Overall evaluation: almost excellent!] 】

(Note: Your spoon is ready.) ）

……

The performance is similar to the previous 'Beef Soup (Clear Soup)', except that the main quest and predatory performance are swapped.

"Winning a championship in a crushing way is not perfect, it can only be considered excellent?"

"So how do you get it perfect?"

"You can't just flip the table at the beginning and kill all the '100 families', right?"

Jason thought, his eyes fixed on the flickering notebook.

A card mixed with black iron and bronze reappeared.

It is a picture with "intestines" on the front.

Jason has seen this pattern, it is the pattern of [Gastrointestinal Strengthening].

And when the cards are turned over, it proves that Jason's memory is correct.

【Gastrointestinal Strengthening】!

[Detect that you have a natural stomach enhancement, and determine the middle ...... of secondary enhancement]

[Judgment passed!] 】

【Gastrointestinal Enhancement II.: Your digestive organs have been strengthened twice, which can break down and absorb food faster and more efficiently, and you can eat more and faster than before! 】

……

Mutter! Mutter!

Looking at the secondary reinforcement that appeared in front of him, Jason was interrupted by a roar of his stomach before he could think about it.

Hungry!

Jason felt like he could now eat ten cows, one bite at a time.

In particular, Jason was almost red-eyed with hunger when an extreme creamy flavor appeared.

On the dining table in front of him, a metal plate with a flared shallow bottom appeared, the flaring and the edge of the plate were two circles larger than a 10-pound watermelon, but the shallow bottom was only two fingers deep.

The rich white color is served on the plate, and the long-handled metal spoon is held upside down and placed on the edge of the plate.

After an hour of bondage, Jason picked up the spoon.

He scooped out a scoop with a spoon and put it in his mouth.

When the salty milky flavor began to bloom on his taste buds, Jason's eyes lit up.

When the soft and glutinous mushroom with a little crunch in it appeared, Jason's eyes lit up even more.

"The mushrooms are chopped and fried...... No, there is no smell of oil, and it is not stir-frying, it is...... Roast! ”

"Whole mushrooms are dehydrated, and after they are baked, chopped!"

"Cream...... Well, I can't taste it. ”

Jason pondered as he ate.

In the shallow plate, the bottom is very fast.

When Jason licked the plate clean, his attention fell on the spoon in his hand.

He remembered clearly that he had asked about the spoon before.

It's just that there was no answer before.

Now there is.

Jason's gaze looked at the notebook's annotation in the evaluation section—

Your soup spoon is ready.

……

Is it because of my shouting last time that I made a change?

Or is it a different mission this time, so there is a change?

Jason thought silently.

He controlled his gaze 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 the 'City That Never Sleeps' can be called an actor, and 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 the 'City That Never Sleeps' at any time: don't trust anyone.

Everyone who lives in the 'city that never sleeps' does so.

Jason is no exception.

Will he believe this black notebook?

How can it be!

He hadn't forgotten what had happened to him when he first came here.

Even, Jason suspected that if he hadn't awakened the [Predator] talent, he wouldn't have had anything to do with this notebook at all.

Extrapolated 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.

There is one thing that Jason keeps in mind, though.

Before you have strength, you need savings, not publicity.

That's how he is now.

In the face of the unknown existence of 'Lorde', he needs to accumulate strength if he wants to avenge the old sir.

In the face of the unknown existence of the 'City That Never Sleeps', he still needs to accumulate strength if he wants to ask for control.

Faced with the unknown existence after the 'note', he still needs to accumulate strength if he wants to find out if it is a coincidence.

In general, he is still too weak.

Still, everything will be fine!

【Taste 'Almost Excellent' class 'Cream Mushroom Soup'!】 】

[Stamina, energy, and injuries fully recovered! ] 】

[Stat+0.1]

……

With the increase in familiarity, Jason at this time, all attributes have become-

Strength: 6.5, Agility: 5.7, Constitution: 6.8, Spirit: 4.5, Perception: 8.1

……

This is a substantial increase from before he first entered the dungeon.

"Go on! Go on! ”

"Keep going strong!"

Jason silently told himself in his heart.

His gaze was firmly locked on the black notebook.

The text on it is starting to change.

[Surprises are always hidden in every dish.] 】

But surprise also means change. 】

[Not only the dish itself, but also the ...... Tasters! 】

[Unable to return to the 'Soup' world!] 】

(Note: 'Crab Salad', 'Deep-fried Meat Crispy Rolls', 'Sparkling Water', 'Beef Soup' The world cannot be returned!) ）

……

The words on the notebook made Jason's brow furrow.

"Can't go back?"

He was stunned.

It was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Even if the previous world of 'sparkling water' and 'beef soup' has been greatly changed, it can be returned, but the cost is higher.

And now there is no return!

Or a chain that cannot be returned!

Is there something going on that even the 'notebook' can't stop?

Still is......

Lost control?

Jason's eyes narrowed at the thought.

Immediately, though, Jason found himself doing something obvious.

Immediately, he flipped through the black notebook again.

He's covering himself up with such behavior.

It's just that Jason was really relieved to see that the world of 'table manners' that belonged to 'Lorde' could still return.

At this time, Jason is a true expression of his feelings.

Lorde, he had to go back.

At all costs!

Whoa, whoa!

The pages continued to turn, and more words appeared—

[It's a change!] 】

[The side dish here is not an appetizer. 】

[They have a different meaning from the tradition. 】

[It's unique here.] 】

[Because, for their choice, it will really determine your main dish.] 】

You have three options:】

【1: Seafood Crisp Box】

【2: Cheese ham】

【3: Tomato Cheese Chicken Cutlet】

[Option 1, you need to consume 10 Satiety points.] 】

[Option 2, you need to consume 11 points of satiety.] 】

[Option 3, you need to consume 12 points of satiety.] 】

(Note: You can only choose two of the three special side dishes)

……

Change?

Jason subconsciously frowned.

Since his return from the world of 'cream mushroom soup', the 'notebook' in front of him seems to have been changing.

What's going on there?

Jason thought.

Then, instead of making a decision on which world to enter right away, he returned to 19 Terr Street first.

He needs to test himself again.

And the moment he returned, Jason was aware of his hockey mask and short-handled broad-bladed machete.

In the previous final battle, he simply couldn't estimate the two beloved items.

So, when he found that he couldn't return, Jason's other reason for frowning was because of these two items.

But now!

Two items have reappeared!

It's on him.

The mask is worn on the face.

The short-handled broad-bladed machete is in the hand.

Really!

What happened that I don't know, but that made the 'notebook' unacceptable.

Is this a good thing?

Jason doesn't know yet.

He only knew that at this moment, he not only clearly felt everything in 19 Ter Street, but even outside 19 Ter Street, where those 'silk threads' spread out, he also faintly perceived it.

Head towards the intersection of Tel Street.

But he didn't go out.

The other party is also on Tel Street!

The other party is watching everything closely!

It's like a spider!

released so many silk threads, and then quietly watched the prey struggle on the 'spider silk', while the other party hid in a dark corner, draining the prey's physical strength little by little.

Then?

Kill with one hit!

Jason closed his eyes.

The temporary +0.3 perception granted by [Blind Fight] allowed him to more accurately grasp the end of the 'Spider Silk'.

But that's it.

What's inside?

Who's inside?

How many people are inside?

Jason didn't know.

Jason got up from the crate and made a pretended activity around 19 Ter Street, and at the same time, looked outside - this is the quality that every resident of the 'city that never sleeps' should have, not obtrusive.

Even if Jason's patrols are a little more frequent, it's the same.

After doing all this, Jason returned to the crate, where he tore through a blanket and pretended to be sleeping, leaning on the blanket to cover it, and discreetly opened his black notebook as before.

He chooses......

PS This is the last chapter of the thick soup, tomorrow Feilong has a day off, sort out the outline, and the day after tomorrow we will open a new volume~
