I have a cold again?

Sitting at the dining table, feeling the restraints above the high back, Jason was stunned.

Then he shook his head.

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

The only possibility is that the fight with the 'Great Snake' just now made his newly recovered body feel uncomfortable.

Thinking of the overwhelming power of the 'Great Snake' at the last moment, Jason couldn't help but take a breath.

"I'm still too weak."

He just ran out of ways to fight back.

And the 'Great Snake' didn't use any more power.

It's crushed again and again.

If it weren't for his extraordinary talent and calculated the time, he would have really died at this time.

Of course, the end result is obvious.

[Satiety: 103]

[Excitement of Food: 140]

……

I had 3,103 points of satiety before.

Now there are only 103 points left.

"Died 1,000 times?"

Jason silently calculated, and didn't have any more expressions.

For Jason, death is really habitual.

From the first shooting, stabbing, then being beheaded, dismembered, and now dead without a body, he is used to it.

In this way, his tombstone will most likely be able to circle the equator of his hometown.

It doesn't matter, though.

Isn't he still alive now?

To be alive is endless possibilities.

This is true whether it is getting stronger or hunting.

Whoa!

On the dining table, the black notebook is windless automatic.

The pages of the book opened quickly.

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

[Judgment passed!] 】

【Predator II.→Predator III.】

[Predator III.: Some '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 cannot be eaten for you - 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', you will not only gain the corresponding satiety, but also use the satiety to accomplish some incredible things, and the satiety you gain will be increased considerably. 】

……

"Precious ingredients?"

"'Big Snake'!"

Jason looked at the words in front of him and instantly had an answer.

And the change in description from 'slightly' to 'quite' 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, it will be his fundamental plan.

Quantitative change can cause qualitative change.

More than 1-2 points of satiety at a time looks inconspicuous.

But what about ten times?

What about a hundred times?

Or rather...... 10,000 times.

Over time, that's going to be a pretty scary number.

However, Jason's eyes fell on the description of 'precious ingredients' at the moment.

"'Precious' level ingredients can evolve my [Predator] talent."

"It was II., it's III., and now it's III., so if you continue to upgrade......"

"Can I trigger other special effects?"

Jason pondered.

The answer he didn't know.

However, he thought he could try.

Just wanting to hunt 'precious ingredients', he still needs a little luck now.

It's not just that the strength is not enough.

How to draw out 'precious ingredients' in a dungeon world is also key.

It's not as easy as it gets.

Thankfully, Jason had done a pretty good job before.

Afterwards?

He will also try.

Bang la blah.

The pages of the black notebook flipped again.

This time, the evaluation is shown above-

[Main Quest: Perfect!] 】

[Predatory performance: perfect!] 】

[Cooking performance: mediocre! ] 】

[Combat Performance: Perfect!] 】

[Search performance: mediocre!] 】

[Comprehensive evaluation: excellent!] 】

(Note: Ready to prepare?) ）

……

"Changed the original main quest, so it became perfect?"

"Cooking...... Not. ”

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's impossible to really have a braised barbell, right?

And, most importantly, every time he fought, time was so tight that he simply didn't have time to cook properly.

Inexplicably Jason is a little nostalgic for his days at 'Lorde'.

It's just as dangerous, but at least give him a little buffer time to show off his cooking skills.

"Alas, forget it, I don't want to."

"There's always a way to do it after that."

Jason thought and looked at the 'Search' column.

Then, his heart began to ache.

He hadn't searched the island at all.

'Prosperous Moon', 'Oni no River', and 'Ryugu' near Urashima's house, Jason knows what he's missing out on just by listening to the name.

Banquet!

A feast in the truest sense of the word!

But he really didn't have the skills.

The sudden appearance of the 'Great Serpent' made everything more and more sudden.

"Can I get more satiety by allocating my time better than fighting directly?"

Jason muttered to himself.

However, it's also too hard.

It's much harder than hunting 'precious ingredients'.

After all, he has no roots in the dungeon world, everything is starting from scratch, and if he wants to complete a 'perfect adjustment' to make everything comprehensive, it will be unimaginable to mobilize manpower and material resources, and he simply can't do it.

Unless, he can have the ability or prop to directly turn others into his own captives.

But......

How could such abilities and props be possible?

If there is, it must be kept secret.

Jason pondered as two bronze cards with a hint of silver emerged from the black notebook.

On the front of the sheet is the appearance of a stomach pouch, but this stomach pouch is different from the previous gastrointestinal pattern, and the stomach pouch contains liquid.

The other front is a puddle of ...... Slobber?

【Stomach acid strengthened!】 】

[Stomach Acid Strengthening: You have to get another boost to your digestive organs, your stomach acid can allow you to digest food more quickly, of course, if you vomit it out, it can also corrupt the enemy. 】

(Note: Your stomach acid is already different from ordinary people's stomach acid, it has undergone a qualitative change, please do not aim it at the non-enemy.) ）

……

【Saliva Enhanced!】 】

[Saliva fortification: Your saliva has been fortified once, it can soften food, enhance digestion, and also have an excellent sterilization effect. 】

(Note: Actually, you can use saliva to disinfect food.) ）

……

"Stomach acid? Saliva? ”

Jason looked at the two passive reinforcements and was stunned.

Especially after seeing the two callouts.

Stomach acid attack?

It may be useful, but it is unlikely to be decisive.

After all, even if it is my stomach acid, it cannot be aqua regia.

As for saliva sanitization?

It's even more impossible.

I'm used to using a more traditional way of being more in line with my ideas.

Jason thought silently.

At the same time, I feel the changes in my body.

As the saliva swallowed, the stomach was squirming slightly.

More energetic and resilient than before.

And then—

Mutter!

There was a long hungry sound in the stomach.

His eyes were on the table, waiting for the food this time, and his heart was full of anticipation.

You know, it's excellent food.

On the long table, an oval-shaped white porcelain plate appeared.

The plate is not large, just like the dinner plate of the hotel, pure white, high on one side and ground on the other, forming an inclined shape, and a golden crisp box is placed in the center of the plate.

The puff 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 restraint disappeared, Jason immediately picked the top puff pastry of the puff pastry box with a small spoon.

Like a lid, when the puff pastry is opened, the rich 'seafood' suddenly bursts out.

Shrimp, shellfish, cod, and mussels come in different colors and are diced into small cubes, giving them their own flavor.

Jason immediately scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth.

Spring, fresh and tender.

The palate exploded instantly.

And when asparagus, carrots, onions, celery, and diced broccoli also enter the mouth, there is an extra kind of crispiness.

It was a long-awaited crunch.

As soon as you chew it, it can make a crunchy sound.

Pepper and salt provide the best match.

Cream and liquor make the taste more and more pure.

The sweet cream has a hint of wine, not rushed, but a hint of spiciness, just right to remove the fishy smell of prawns, fresh shellfish, cod meat, and mussels, and retain the original meat taste.

One scoop, two scoops, three scoops.

Jason chewed heavily.

The best, I picked up the puff pastry box and threw it in my mouth.

Click!

The characteristic crispiness of the pastry appeared.

Suddenly, everything sublimated.

Call!

Jason leaned back in his high-backed chair, squinted slightly, and let out a long breath.

"Delicious."

He commented.

【Taste the 'excellent' class 'seafood crisp box'!】 】

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

[Stat+0.2]

……

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

[Strength 9.2, Agility 8.4, Constitution 9.5, Spirit 7.2, Perception 10.8]

……

What could be more exciting than tasting delicious food?

Nature is strong while eating.

Jason clearly felt his body strengthen again at this moment, and he sat up slightly straight.

"It's not enough!"

"Next time, I will definitely be able to be stronger!"

"Come on!"

Jason secretly cheered for himself, but his eyes looked at the black note again.

The words above began to change from the bottom of my heart.

【Hunting is pleasant. 】

[But it also brings about change.] 】

[Unable to return to the world of 'Seafood Pastry Box']

……

Looking at such a prompt, Jason was not surprised.

When 'Big Serpent' entered the 'present world', Jason knew that this might happen.

He began to flip through the black notebook.

When I saw that the world of 'table manners' was still lit up, I was completely relieved.

For Jason, now as long as the world of 'Lorde' is not affected.

After all, he still had too much to do back in the world of Lord.

Glancing at the [Cheese Ham] and [Tomato Cheese Chicken Steak], which are also side dishes, he was able to choose one of the first two with the completion of the [Seafood Puff Pastry] world.

As for which one to choose?

Jason had already planned.

【Cheese ham】!

Compared with the more difficult [Tomato Cheese Chicken Steak], Jason prefers to choose the slightly less difficult [Cheese Ham].

Maybe there will be more to the world of [Tomato Cheese Chicken Steak].

However, Jason is already full of vigilance about the change of black notes, and under such a premise, let Jason choose a more risky and radical approach?

That's impossible.

Jason could only have chosen the more secure approach.

Then, plan slowly.

After all—

Survive in life, win in life!

That's the right thing to do.

Taking a deep breath, Jason felt the restraining force reappear on his body, and the next moment, he appeared in 19 Tel Street again.

The mask is on the face, and the short-handled broad-bladed machete is in the hand.

Just like before.

There is not the slightest change.

Or rather, there are some changes that Jason can't notice yet.

However, Jason will never lose two of his most beloved items like the last time.

The last time, after returning to 19 Ter Street, it was back in his hands.

This is thankful.

But Jason can't guarantee that it's the same every time.

There is no guarantee that this 'lost and regained' will have no effect on him.

So, this time, he chose to pick it up himself.

Rubbing his fingers against the hilt of the knife, Jason, who was wearing a mask, closed his eyes, and the temporary +0.3 perception given by [Blind Fight] made his perception instantly reach more than 11 times that of ordinary people.

The 'thin lines' that permeated 19 Ter Street suddenly appeared in Jason's perception.

It's different from the previous looming.

This time, Jason confirmed that the cobweb-like 'thin lines' came from the intersection of Ter Street.

According to the map he remembered earlier, it should be ......

3 Terre Street.

It is a building one story less than 19 Tel Street.

Only one floor of the original three floors remained, and the courtyard wall collapsed, and there were traces of burning and explosions nearby, and the door number did not exist.

Jason recognized it because of the records on the data.

Otherwise, Jason wouldn't have been able to make out at all.

"Is it at 3 Terre Street?"

Jason thought to himself, and got up as he had done before and began to walk around 19 Telle Street.

It's like an activity, and it's like a patrol.

When it should touch the 'fine line', it touches the 'fine line', and there is no discomfort in the slightest.

Then, when he had finished his tour of the inside of 19 Ter Street, he walked outside.

Be careful to put yourself in the shadows, not to expose yourself to any field of vision, and not to go to the open space.

Just like the inhabitants of the other 'cities that never sleep'.

Looking around, he looked around like the other residents of the city that never sleeps.

About three minutes later, Jason returned to 19 Telle Street.

After restoring the previous traps one by one, he sat down on the crate again.

Jason, who seemed to be calm, was racing in his heart.

"There is no trace of activity."

"Did you enter early?"

"Still ......"

"Is it an underground stronghold at all?"

Jason's thinking leans towards the latter.

The layout in front of him, the other party has obviously been planning for a long time, and although an underground stronghold seems difficult to ordinary residents of the 'City That Never Sleeps', it is necessary for the other party.

Even, when necessary, it can become 'bait'.

It's like the 19th he's in.

Jason guessed, and suddenly, the fingers he had hidden in his sleeve trembled and tapped lightly on the hilt of the knife.

Ten seconds later—

Knock, knock.

There was a knock on the door.
