The last moment the sea breeze was blowing.

The next moment was filled with gloom.

The gray like a fog surged around Jason, reaching four times the perception of ordinary people, and he still couldn't see what was behind the gloom.

All Jason could see was the quaint round table, dark tablecloths, and silver cutlery.

He is still restrained in a high-backed chair.

Exactly the same as before.

But Jason, who had had an experience, looked directly at the black note next to the cutlery.

Immediately, the black note opened.

[The rope loosens the neck.] 】

[The hungry stomach is satisfied.] 】

[Happiness appears again.] 】

(Note: Time-saving cooking method, perfect for appetizers)

……

The text didn't pause, and following Jason's line of sight, more words began to appear.

[Main Quest: (Overcompleted)!] 】

[Predatory performance: excellent!] 】

[Cooking performance: mediocre! ] 】

[Combat performance: Excellent!] 】

[Search performance: mediocre!] 】

[Comprehensive evaluation: excellent!] 】

(Note: Ready for an appetizer?) ）

……

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

A card pays for the notebook.

It's the same as the previous cards that were all black with a metallic sheen.

The front of this card has a 'gut' pattern.

Then, the text appears.

[Gastrointestinal Strengthening: Your digestive organs have undergone a strengthening process, which can break down and absorb food faster and more effectively, and you can eat more and faster]

……

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

Jason doesn't pay much attention to that, though.

His eyes were still fixed on his notebook.

Above, the light continued to flicker.

When this brilliance reached its extreme, the silver plate also shimmered.

The two photographically echo each other.

Then, all gone.

The notebook was restored to its original appearance.

But on the plate, a crab salad appeared on the plate.

The red and tender crab meat, the small tomatoes that have been cut, the emerald green bitter chrysanthemum, the golden corn kernels, the cucumbers, and the milky white salad dressing poured on top of it look very tempting.

The smell is tangy!

Jason snorted.

He was able to confirm.

It's real.

The scent doesn't deceive.

Then, Jason noticed that his hands were able to move.

Subconsciously, he picked up the cutlery and launched a fierce attack on the crab salad.

Sweet and tasty.

And full of freshness.

Coupled with the tenderness of the crab meat, everything is so good.

When Jason came back to his senses, the crab salad on his plate had already been swept away.

In front of him, words appeared in front of him that surprised him-

【Taste 'excellent' grade 'crab salad'!】 】

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

[Stat+0.2]

……

"Excellent? The same grade as the final comprehensive evaluation? ”

"Are the two interrelated?"

Jason guessed, and then, his gaze turned to [Attribute Point: 0.2].

[Please choose any one of Strength, Agility, Constitution, Spirit, and Perception to increase the attribute by 0.2 or any two to increase the attribute by 0.1!] 】

……

When Jason's gaze locks on to [Attribute Points], the corresponding prompt appears.

This was the first time he had seen a stat point at his disposal.

"Food can directly increase attribute points?"

Jason watched in surprise.

This is undoubtedly good news for him.

This gives him more options.

However, Jason was not in a hurry to add points.

Jason, who had some ideas in his heart, was ready to calm down and think carefully before deciding to add more.

Then, as soon as he leaned back, he was ready to return to 19 Terr Street.

However, unlike the last time I returned directly to 19 Ter Street, District 26, Never Sleeps, this time it seems that because Jason ate, the black notebook gave Jason some time to rest.

Not much, only a dozen seconds.

Moreover, in these ten seconds, Jason's hands were restrained again, and once again returned to a state where he could only move his index finger.

When the time passes.

Syllable!

The black notebook closes automatically.

The feeling of dizziness returned.

Everything began to blur, and when the vision was clear again, Jason was still back in 19 Ter Street.

Even the previous posture remained the same.

It's still an instant.

But his experience was weeks.

Call!

Jason took a deep breath.

He adjusted his emotions.

Experiences are not so easy to forget.

What's more, they have experienced life and death together.

The images of Denis, Gerald, Peters, Little Leader and others flashed through Jason's mind, and then, he subconsciously opened the black notebook.

The world of 'table manners' can return.

Naturally, the 'appetizer' can also be returned.

In fact, just as Jason expected.

The world of 'appetizers' can be returned.

But the cost of returning was beyond Jason's expectations.

[Even if the dish is delicious, if it is repeated, it will make people feel tired. 】

[But if you're willing to spend a little more on your filling, you can still taste it.] 】

[Yes/No cost 50 points of fullness, return?] 】

……

"50 points!"

Jason gasped.

"It only takes 5 points to return to the world of 'table manners', but it only costs 50 points to return to the world of appetizers?"

"Do you increment by a factor of 10 each time?"

"It's still different because you can get free attribute points by eating food."

"Or maybe it's something else."

Jason pondered.

But thinking without any clues is doomed to be useless.

After a few seconds, Jason shook his head, suppressing the thought in his head for a moment.

Then, he turned the notebook back to the first page.

His gaze rested on the words 'return'.

With his 67-o'clock fullness and 4-o'clock eclipse excitement at the moment, returning to 'Lorde' was a real no-brainer.

But Jason never thought about returning immediately.

Because, he didn't have any certainty about dealing with that 'weird'.

"We must accumulate more satiety, the excitement of eating, and improve our strength."

"The ascension of [protection against evil] is a must."

And then there'...... I need to expand my 'immortality' to the extreme. ”

"I'm dying too easily now."

"I'm going to make myself harder."

"So ......"

"Physique!"

"There are also secret techniques related to physique!"

Jason thought hard about his strengths.

Then, he immediately transferred 0.2 attribute points to his constitution.

Suddenly, a large amount of warm current flowed from the stomach to the heart, and then merged into the bones and muscles.

This process is similar to the tone of knowledge and skill, which is done in a few breaths, and Jason can clearly feel his body becoming stronger and stronger.

After getting used to it a little, Jason picked up the black notebook again.

I looked at the second page 'appetizer': fried pork crispy rolls.
