The bright warm sun of the morning turned dim as Jason walked along.

The feeling of warmth disappeared without a trace.

Even, the sudden disappearance also caused a cold feeling.

In Jason's eyes, the table is still the same, and the cutlery is still the same.

The high-backed chair is still so uncomfortable.

The existence of a sense of restraint makes the most comfortable chair unbearable.

Hula!

On the dining table, the black notebook was windless and automatic, and the words began to appear one by one on the slightly yellowed paper—

[The purity of the clear soup is not the singleness of the ingredients, but the sublimation of the essence. 】

[It's mellow and delicious.] 】

[Destined to make you unforgettable. 】

(Note: It's sublimated, I hope you really tasted it!) ）

As with the previous 'after meal' proverbs, this one is no exception.

"The sublimation of essence?"

Jason frowned slightly.

At this moment, he thought of a lot, the three Johns, poor Edward, the mastermind who made it all, Findirt, Cortana, the old general, the old instructor, etc., as well as the talented Polon and Kemi, and so on.

Eventually, the figures slowly dispersed.

No!

Not dispersed, but shrouded in the light of another figure.

'Witch'!

Jason really remembers 'The Witch' vividly.

After all, it's not someone who commits suicide in front of him when it's okay.

"The sublimation of ordinary people is ...... Mentally ill? ”

Jason couldn't help but think of the 'witch' and couldn't help but think of such an answer.

Then, Jason shook his head quickly.

No, it won't.

No way.

He thought too much.

"The sublimation of ordinary people should be a better existence."

"It's like eating dumplings with vinegar."

"When you eat hairy belly, you have chili peppers."

Jason stood firm in his thoughts.

And the words on the notebook continue to emerge -

[Main Quest: Perfect!] 】

[Predatory performance: excellent!] 】

[Cooking performance: mediocre! ] 】

[Combat performance: Excellent!] 】

[Search performance: mediocre!] 】

[Overall 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 hardly left 'Cherry City', and the exploration of 'Cherry City' was almost superficial, and some hidden locations had not been in-depth at all, so the search was naturally mediocre.

As for 'culinary performance'?

emmmm……

It's hard to put into words.

He also hopes to learn some cooking.

However, it's hard.

It's harder than you think.

In the dungeon world, there are so many things he needs to think about and deal with.

So much so that there is no opportunity or time to learn cooking.

In other words, he simply can't 'give up the immediate gains' and look at it from a 'long-term perspective'.

It's not that Jason is unaware of the importance of 'long-term' development.

It's just that he's still on the 'edge of survival' right now.

Do you talk about 'ideals, the future' to a person who is so hungry that he doesn't have enough to eat'?

It's a bit difficult.

To put it simply, he's still too weak.

Weak to the point of unworthiness.

Alas!

Jason sighed silently in his heart.

He also wants to eat food that has been carefully cooked!

No one likes food more than he does.

However, reality does not allow it.

Unable to help it, Jason sighed again.

Then, I looked at the notebook, which was shining brightly.

Black iron and bronze two-color cards like the previous [Esophageal Enhancement] appeared.

The front of the card is a nose with air currents depicted in the nostrils.

[Olfactory strengthening: Food and taste are one, your sense of smell has been strengthened, it can not only let you smell the taste of food farther away, but also be able to distinguish the difference in detail. 】

……

The words flickered in front of me.

As before, [Olfactory Enhancement] appears next to [Esophageal Enhancement], [Teeth Enhancement], [Taste Enhancement], [Anti-Poison Enhancement], [Gastrointestinal Enhancement], and [Mouth Enhancement], and is located below the talent [Predator], and is marked with the word 'Passive'.

The tip of Jason's nose twitched.

He felt itchy.

Then, a rush of smell rushed into my nose.

It has the smell of earth, the unique smell of wooden furniture in a humid environment, and the smell of metal cutlery and cloth.

Soon, though.

These flavors are masked by the rich beef flavor.

A palm-sized white ceramic bowl appeared in front of Jason.

The bowl has a clear, amber-colored soup.

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 scent comes straight to the mind.

He felt like the pores all over his body were open.

"Huh?"

"No spoons?"

When Jason prepares to drink the soup, he realizes that all that appears is a bowl of soup, not a spoon.

In this regard, Jason subconsciously looked at the previous mark: Do you need a soup spoon?

After a slight hesitation, Jason tentatively spoke.

"I need a spoon."

He said.

And then......

Nothing happened.

A white ceramic bowl or a white ceramic bowl.

The soup is still that delicious soup.

There is no appearance of a soup spoon.

Jason paused for about two seconds, eventually shrugging his shoulders.

"It's that I'm thinking too much."

With this in mind, he picked up the bowl of soup and drank it all.

The salty aroma fills the mouth.

Jason's eyes lit up as the smell of the soup spread.

Because this bowl of soup not only has the heaviness of beef, but also the unique taste of beef offal mixed with it, as well as ...... Cow pith!

Although it was just a bowl of soup, Jason felt like he was eating a whole cow.

Amazing!

Jason thought to himself, and the soup bowl was raised higher and higher.

Eventually, after the soup was left in his mouth, Jason stuck out his tongue and licked the soup bowl again.

【Taste 'Almost Excellent' grade 'Beef Soup'!】 】

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

[Stat+0.1]

……

With the increase of attribute points this time, Jason's attributes have changed to [Strength 5.1, Agility 4.6, Constitution 5.4, Spirit 3.4, Perception 7.0].

Perception under the norm, finally crossed the 7 mark.

Strength, Agility, Constitution, and Spirit have increased dramatically from 3.7 → 5.1, 3.5 → 4.6 Agility, 4.4 Constitution, 2.6→→ 3.4 Spirit, and 2.6 3.4 Spirit.

However, Jason understands that this is not enough.

He's still too far off.

Call!

Taking a deep breath, Jason looked at his notebook again.

[The essence of sublimation makes everything unpredictable. 】

【You can keep the taste of the moment.】 】

[You can also trace the taste of the aftermath.] 】

[Of course, satiety and excitement are the key!] 】

[Yes/No to spend 300 points of satiety, 20 points of excitement to return to the 'Beef Soup' dungeon?] 】

……

Compared with the 500 points of satiety and the excitement of 30 points of food returning to the 'sparkling water', it is naturally much cheaper to return to the world of 'beef soup', but the excitement of 300 points of satiety and 20 points of food is still an unbearable burden for Jason at this moment.

Silently, Jason looked away.

He was waiting to return to the City That Never Sleeps.

The sense of restraint is back again.

He is about to return to the City That Never Sleeps.

However, at this time, Jason suddenly thought of an extremely important matter.

Said good beef broth, what about beef?

The next moment, Jason appeared inside 19 Teller Street.

He was dressed in his original costume, wearing an ice hockey mask, and sat on a crate with his beloved broad-bladed short-handled machete on his lap.

Then, in an instant, he sensed something.

The last time he sent 19 Tel Street in Anhui, Jason's perception time was 5.7, and with the blessing of various skills, he could barely sense the presence of something around him.

But this time is different.

Although I still can't see it or touch it.

But he could sense the general 'appearance' of this thing.

Silk thread!

Thin threads crisscross the entire length of 19 Ter Street.

Every time he gets up and walks, he touches such a silk thread.

His body passed through the threads, nothing happened, and as he walked along, the threads would change back again, as if Jason had walked through a 'light'.

But is it true that nothing has happened?

As he walked around again, Jason closed his eyes.

The temporary +0.3 perception granted by [Blind Fight] immediately made him discover the difference again.

When he touches them again, they will tremble and emit 'waves', which will be transmitted along the 'silk threads' themselves into the distance.

Jason subconsciously chased after such a pass.

But such deliveries are too fast, fast, and invisible.

He found these 'silk threads', but only in front of his eyes.

Distance?

He didn't know anything.

This made Jason quite uncomfortable.

The thought of being surrounded by such a 'silk thread' made Jason almost subconsciously think that he had become the 'prey' of falling into a huge spider's web.

Every time you struggle, you attract the spider closer.

Then?

Preyed.

"It's still too weak!"

"Predatory?"

"That's not what I was expecting."

Jason thought to himself.

Jason is absolutely wary of the 'collaborators' of this 'big shot'.

He won't act until he knows everything about the other person.

Maintaining his role as 'his' postman, Jason began to patrol around 19 Tell Street, looking out into the street through the gap in his window.

The burning car has long been extinguished.

The whole street was pitch black.

The fog made the street even darker.

The wind that blows from nowhere will make the fog roll for a moment, like a huge monster about to pounce.

And in fact?

It's just that a few people who were hiding in the fog swung their swords at each other, or stabbed daggers.

Fog, tumbling endlessly.

The color of blood began to diffuse.

Bang!

A gunshot completely boiled the whole street.

Bang bang bang!

Da-da-da-da!

Although it is not dense, the gunfire at this moment can be called endless.

With Jason's perception at the moment7, he can clearly see everything outside.

It's nothing more than 'the daily life of the city that never sleeps'.

The daily routine that is staged all the time.

Day and night.

It is also not divided into regions.

he tui！

Jason maintained the first reaction of a resident of the 'City That Never Sleeps' to something like this, and then he began to strengthen the 'defense' of 19 Ter Street, making it look like he was going to defend it.

It wasn't until the gunfire died down and the fighting was gone that Jason returned to his previous room.

He sat down on the crate again.

As before, he secretly opened the black notebook.

Choice soup (bisque): creamy mushroom soup.

As the 7 o'clock satiety level was consumed, more text appeared on the textured paper.

[Thick soup, mouth-watering. 】

[It's not just the taste. 】

[And its inclusiveness.] 】

[It's not a main course.] 】

[But it will make you look forward to the main dish even more!] 】

[Remember: Soup should be served hot!] 】

……

It is still customary to resemble the text of Proverbs, and after [creamy mushroom soup] there is a √.

Then, there is the annotation -

[Background: Do you want to be free?] Do you want wealth? Come on! Come on! Come to this year's 'Crazy Game', no matter who you are, you can get what you want here - as a crazy guy, you have done so many chilling things, so, it is only natural that you have been arrested, but fate always turns, you are thrown into this 'crazy game', and as one of the 'abusers', you start this 'crazy game'......]

[Main Quest: Win the Championship of the Final Finals!] 】

[Obtain a temporary language, and when you leave the dungeon, it will automatically disappear]

[Temporary changes in clothing, appearance, and equipment will automatically restore when you leave the dungeon]

【Detection of non-gunpowder weapons】

(Hint: enjoy your chowder.) ）

……

Crazy guys?

Chilling things?

Sadists?

Jason looked at the depictions, and finally his eyes were fixed on the name 'Crazy Game'.

It's not a lot of information, but it's enough for Jason to make some guesses.

And such speculation, naturally, is not beautiful.

Although he doesn't think he's a crazy guy, and he won't do anything chilling, and he shouldn't be arrested, but with such an identity, being arrested and having to be in such a game, that ...... The people who operate this game, in the world of 'Soup', naturally have quite terrifying forces.

And Jason hasn't forgotten who he was given.

Sadists.

Or to be precise, one of the absorptists!

Since there are abusers.

There must be opposing camps.

What will it be?

Jason frowned secretly.

The next moment, the scenery changes in front of me.

Once again, he left the 'City That Never Sleeps'.

He showed up in a ...... Inside the cell?

Jason, wearing a hockey hockey mask, looked at the iron door and the small lookout in front of him, and then looked down at his prison uniform and the shackles that bound his hands and feet.

Jason began to make sure he was out of his cell.

He moved his arm slightly.

Crash.

The shackles sank deep into the heavy walls, unusually strong, and with his strength five times greater than ordinary people, it was difficult to shake a single bit.

Jason frowned, ready to continue looking around.

But at this moment, Jason's face suddenly changed.
