With a slight lightness, Jason sat down in the high-backed chair again.

It's back.

Looking at the familiar quaint round table, dark tablecloths, and silver cutlery in front of him, Jason breathed a sigh of relief.

After he attended the funeral, the words in front of him suggested that he had been recognized by the city.

With 1,500% city approval, he left New Del City.

Call.

Taking a slight breath, Jason's gaze looked at the black note that was sitting next to the cutlery.

Whoa!

With the sound of the pages turning, the black notebook opened.

[The black cloth covers my eyes, but it can't cover my nose.] 】

[I come by the deliciousness. 】

[Slightly hot food, more delicious. 】

【Delicious. 】

(Note: The first hot dish must still be remembered!) ）

……

The text goes down in order, and more detailed explanations appear one by one.

[Main Quest: Perfect!] (Over-fulfilled)】

[Predatory performance: excellent!] 】

[Cooking performance: mediocre! ] 】

[Combat performance: Excellent!] 】

[Search performance: excellent!] 】

[Overall evaluation: almost excellent!] 】

(Note: Delicious food will only get more and more, don't get too nostalgic!) ）

……

After his gaze swept over the words one by one, Jason, who had two experiences, waited silently.

The next moment, a more and more intense light appeared from the notebook.

A card emerges from the notebook.

It's different from the previous cards that were all black and had a metallic sheen.

On this card, the bronze color appears.

On the front of the card is a wide open 'mouth' pattern.

[Mouth Strengthening: Your mouth muscles, bones, nerves, etc. have been strengthened once, and it can open wider and swallow bigger food directly!] 】

……

Like the previous [Tooth Enhancement], [Taste Enhancement], [Anti-Poison Enhancement], and [Gastrointestinal Enhancement], [Mouth Enhancement] also appears under the talent [Predator], and is marked with the word 'Passive'.

And the moment he appeared, Jason felt an itch around his mouth.

Soon, the itching sensation spread to the entire face.

Then, involuntarily, he opened his mouth.

Roar!

A mouth large enough to swallow a whole watermelon opened, and the sound of the wind was like the hiss of a giant beast, and the fangs inside bloomed with coldness, which made people shudder.

It took two seconds for Jason to shut up.

He wanted to touch his mouth.

However, the restraint of the chair made it impossible for him to move.

The chair constrained his actions, but not his thoughts.

"Am I still human?"

Such doubts appeared in Jason's mind.

Then, right away, Jason gave the answer.

"Count!"

"If you have a big mouth, how can you not be considered a human?"

"Digest it quickly, of course it's a person."

"So, I'm 100 percent purebred."

With such an affirmative answer, Jason's heart suddenly felt steady, which allowed him to experience his changes in more detail, and it seemed that this time the changes were more obvious than before.

"Is bronze higher than black iron?"

Jason guessed.

And the black notebook is still changing.

A blinding glow appeared on the black notebook.

A rich fragrance began to appear.

When the brilliance reached an extreme, the silver plate also shimmered.

The two photographically echo each other.

Then, the light vanished together.

The notebook was restored to its original appearance.

On the plate, a fried meat crispy roll appeared.

The golden skin, almost crystal clear, you can clearly see the meat filling inside, a rich meat smell has come to the face, but there is still a trace of fragrance.

Mint with cantaloupe!

Jason instantly recognized the flavor from which ingredient it came from.

The next moment, as soon as Jason raised his hand, he took the fried meat crispy roll in his hand.

Click!

The first bite was down, and with a crisp sound, the puff pastry couldn't stop falling down, and Jason held the fried meat crispy roll in one hand and continued with the other.

In his mouth, the meat filling full of soup had already filled his mouth, and Jason didn't bother to savor it, so he took a bite of the fried meat crispy roll.

Suck!

The rich soup is not as heavy as expected, but light.

After adding a hint of mint and cantaloupe appropriately, it sets off the taste of the meat and becomes more and more fat.

Click, click!

After two bites, the whole meat roll entered Jason's stomach.

Jason in the palm of his left hand didn't waste it, and poured it directly into his mouth.

A hint of puff pastry reminds Jason of the deliciousness of the fried meat crispy rolls.

【Taste the 'Almost Perfect' level 'Deep-Fried Meat Crispy Roll'!】 】

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

[Stat+0.3]

……

"The higher the rating, the higher the attribute points obtained?"

Jason looked at the scene in front of him and guessed.

Then, he directly added these 0.3 attribute points to his physique.

Reason?

It's very simple, he wants to have a stronger physique, he wants to be harder, he wants to be more difficult to die, and he wants to exert his 'immortal body' to the extreme.

Get a 0.3 point of Constitution, and directly step into 3 points.

3 times the physique of ordinary people, which makes Jason feel more secure again.

His gaze was on the black notebook again.

【The more perfect the dish, the more difficult it is to taste it again.】 】

[But there is no satiety that can't be solved.] 】

[Yes/No cost 75 points of satiety, return?] 】

……

"75 points!"

Jason was stunned.

25 more points than returning to the world of 'Crab Salad'.

"Is it because the rating is higher, so it costs more to return?"

Jason thought, turning the pages of the black notebook in front of him again.

Page 3: Appetizer with wine (drinks).

【Appetizer with sake】

You have three options:】

【1, Sweet wine】

【2, sour】

[3, sparkling water]

[Option 1, you need to consume 5 Satiety points.] 】

[Option 2, you need to consume 5 points of satiety.] 】

[Option 3, you need to consume 6 points of satiety.] 】

(Note: You can only choose one of the three wine pairings and drinks, and when you return from the main quest, the remaining two are not optional.) ）

……

New changes!

Jason stared intently at the annotations.

"Can't select them all?"

"Only one of three?"

Although the so-called 'sweet wine' and 'sour wine' Jason are directly excluded, this way of not being able to choose all of them still makes him feel the incompleteness of his life.

The choice must be complete!

With this exclamation, Jason returned to 19 Ter Street, still in the same position as he had left, wearing an ice hockey mask, sitting on a crate with a broad-bladed short-handled machete in his lap.

As for other items?

As the 'Stealer' was eaten by him, it disappeared without a trace when the entire Xinde City was replaced and fused.

Including his wallet, shotgun, grenades, and more.

This made Jason feel uncomfortable.

Without heavy weapons by his side, he always felt empty in his heart.

But......

At this time, it is also unrealistic for some heavy weapons to appear out of thin air.

The person who is 'watching' this place can tolerate him playing some tricks, but he will never allow this kind of 'contrary to common sense' to happen.

Once it does, it's a direct battle.

And now he?

Clearly not the opponent of the other side.

He had just closed his eyes, trying to find the 'Watcher'.

But nothing was found.

There are only two possibilities.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party's strength was too much higher than him, he wouldn't be able to find out.

Or the other party's methods are so strange that he can't find out.

Either way, he couldn't deal with it now.

Jason, who has come to know the 'Mystic Side', knows very well how terrifying it can be when you face an unknown enemy on the Mystic Side.

Even, you can't imagine where the attack came from.

This is a terrible situation that Jason definitely doesn't want to face.

So, he endured.

He pretended to have nothing to do, stood up, picked up the bottle, twisted it, sniffed it, and drank it all.

The icy water made Jason more and more calm.

There is no hurry.

There is no hurry.

I take my time.

When I've finished all the dishes on the 'menu', we'll talk about it!

If I don't practice to the full level in the novice village, I will definitely not leave the village!

Jason silently told himself.

Then, he picked up the black notebook again.

Choose an appetizer with a drink (drink): sparkling water!

After the 6 o'clock satiety was depleted, more text began to appear in the notebook.

Some foods are not born alone. 】

[They need to cooperate.] 】

[Even if ......]

【Before, it was hard to eat!】 】

[Remember: This is the wine and drink that goes with your appetizer]

……

After the text of the convention, a √ appeared after [sparkling water].

And then, there's the annotation –

[Background: You have been through a lot of things, and the complexity and horror are unbelievable to ordinary people, and you can no longer integrate into ordinary people's lives, you live in isolation, but some rumors about you still interest some people, they want to contact you, confirm you, and ...... Contain you! 】

[Main quest: Survive for 30 days, 0/30.] 】

[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 appetizer pairing.) ）

……

As Jason took the notes, the notebook closed.

He reappears in a strange world.

There is a small alley with garbage cans at the entrance, blocking most of the access and exit, and the buildings on both sides are extremely high, making the alley narrow and the sky narrow.

Jason looked up and saw the gray-blue sky, only the size of a palm.

And in this palm-sized place, a plane flew smoothly.

It was the plane he remembered.

"Similar to the 'hometown' in memory?"

Jason guessed.

Then he looked at himself.

Black jeans, white at the corners, a black sweater, a pair of sneakers of the same color on his feet, and a backpack on his back, also black, without inspection, Jason can guess that it contains his mask and weapon.

Digging into his pockets and checking his backpack, Jason made sure he didn't have any coins or identification on him.

Jason frowned.

That's not a good thing for him.

You know, in the background, it's clear that someone wants to 'contain' him.

And the main quest that survived for 30 days revealed a hint of cruelty.

Under such a premise, there is no identification and coins, which is undoubtedly worse.

Perhaps most of the time, proof of identity can be ignored.

It may also be a clue for others to confirm and track him.

But what about coins?

He always needs to eat.

Stealing, robbing, cheating?

If he wants to do this with his ability, it is naturally a matter of hand.

However, his self-esteem prevented him from doing such a thing.

Beg?

It's the same.

"How do I get coins?"

Jason thought as he walked out of the alley.

And at this very moment-

Chirping!

With the sound of rapid braking, a black muscle car stopped at the mouth of the alley.

A group of heavily armed soldiers jumped out of the car, their fully automatic weapons aimed at Jason.

Little red dots appeared on Jason.

Then, the sound of the propeller came overhead.

A rope hung down.

One elite after another began to rappel.

They appeared behind Jason, their guns aimed at Jason.

Then, in Jason's perception, a wary gaze came from a distance.

Sniper!

Jason confirmed instantly.

But it doesn't end there.

The helicopter with the rappelling crew was hovering in the air, and an airborne machine gun was aimed at Jason from a high altitude.

Moreover, a figure appeared from the rooftops on both sides, carrying ...... on their shoulders Bazooka?!

Jason blinked.

With almost four times the eyesight of ordinary people, he was sure that those people were carrying bazookas!

And, not one.

It's twelve on one side.

On both sides of the roofs are ...... Twenty-four.

Twenty-four rockets fired in unison, and in such a narrow place, he had nowhere to escape, let alone this kind of front and rear flanking, and there was an airborne machine gun in the sky.

It's a complete net!

What a nightmare!

Jason said secretly in his heart.

However, the face remained calm.

His body didn't move, but after turning his head to look at the elite behind him, he returned to his normal appearance, looking straight ahead, as if the teams of soldiers in front of him didn't exist.

Jason believed that since the other party had put on such a position, but did not attack at the beginning, he would definitely send someone to talk to him.

In fact, as Jason had guessed.

About 5 seconds after this formation began, a man in the same heavy gear stepped out.

The other party is similar to Jason, and they are both extremely tall.

He was carrying a grenade gun in his hand.

The other party did not cross the soldier, and after aiming the gun at Jason, he spoke:

"Mr. Jason, we have no ill will."

No malice?

Jason seemed to hear some joke, and he raised his hand and gestured around.

But just, just such a small action made the surrounding atmosphere tense, and Jason could clearly feel that the people around him were breathing faster and their pupils dilated.

In particular, the person who spoke took a step back with a grenade gun.

Obviously, the other party has a considerable advantage.

But the feeling at the moment made Jason feel that he was the dominant side.

It's a strange feeling.

However, Jason doesn't plan to continue to experience.

He smiled slightly, and said softly in his mouth—

Bi！
