Chapter 2: Gluttony

It's a small abandoned storage room, with dilapidated wooden shelves and clutter filling the small space. Even the few remaining voids were blocked by dense cobwebs, and the dim moonlight from the skylight was blocked.

"Ahem... Ahem......"

Qiao Mai was choked by the dust raised by the collapse of the shelf, and tears flowed down his eyes. The shelf that had been diagonally blocking the doorway had been torn apart, and a shriveled corpse had collapsed in the doorway. The severed skull didn't even have a drop of blood or brains, and the whole brain was just a black piece of disgusting and shriveled brainstem.

Qiao Mai slumped on the bevel of the shelf, his right hand still clutching the half of the broom handle he had grabbed casually.

When the earthquake struck, Qiao Mai, who had thought he was dead, woke up and found himself lying in a dilapidated utility room that seemed to have not been entered for hundreds of years. didn't even have time to be surprised and think, "Bang", a zombie that is only available in the movie Resident Evil, frantically crashed into the wooden shelf blocking the door, and the already unsturdy wooden shelf was half smashed with a "bang".

Seeing that the monster outside was about to crash in, Qiao Mai, who was frightened and weak, picked up the half of the broom standing against the wall next to him and stabbed the monster outside the door in a frenzy.

"Die, die....... want to eat me, no way...'

The zombie who was stuck in half of the shelf hadn't touched half of Qiao Mai's hair, and his wide open mouth was stabbed into it by Qiao Mai with a stick in a panic. The stabbing tip of the stick tossed half of the monster's head off.

"Huh... Ahem..."

Qiao Mai, who realized it later, looked at the disgusting head and just reacted and wanted to vomit, but the black zombie body suddenly decomposed into a black mist, which drifted for a while and gradually dissipated. Only a small stream was left that rushed into Qiao Mai's body. Then a whole bunch of stuff squeezed into Qiao Mai's brain, making him stunned for a moment.

"The system is starting...."

"Successful launch, start building character profile..."

"The dossier is complete... Data Generation... Discover unknown energy sources, discover unknown energy sources... judged to be a beneficial substance, systematically assimilated..."

"The file was successfully established..."

The sluggish Qiao Mai looked at the data that suddenly appeared in his mind, and felt that there were 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by.

"Damn, it's really a game...."

"If that's the case, then Xiaoxiao shouldn't be dead... By the way, we have to find Tiny... With her cowardice, these monsters scared her to death without even having to do anything..."

Thinking of Sun Xiaoxiao, Qiao Mai jumped up from the ground excitedly. Holding the broom handle in his hand, Qiao Mai fumbled around the black disgusting thing left after the monster disappeared on the ground and walked out the door. It's strange to say, it was a disgusting thing at first, but Qiao Mai didn't feel the slightest bit of something unusual. Could it be the so-called ability of up to 3 points of volitional attributes? Thinking about his attributes, Qiao Mai found that compared to the perception of up to 3 points, will, and spirit, the three attributes of the body, which were up to 0.5, were simply weak.

If the average attribute of the earthlings is only 0.5, then the only problem is the so-called natural ability gluttonous power. It is still useful to eat more. Thinking of this, Qiao Mai couldn't help but smile. Although he was only 22 years old, Qiao Mai bet that anyone would not die of old age until he was 80 years old, and he would not have eaten as much as he had for more than 22 years.

Outside the door is a short passageway. A faint moonlight shone in from the corner at the end of the walkway. Relieved, Qiao Mai clenched his stick and slowly walked around the corner. Strange to say, despite the dim light, Qiao Mai felt that he had never seen everything in the world so clearly, even the gray layer floating in the air could be seen clearly. The air was filled with a rotten, pungent unpleasant smell. Qiao Mai tried hard to stir his nose like a baby who smelled the world for the first time to feel everything in the world.

As soon as he got close to the corner, Qiao Mai felt something behind the corner. This feeling could not be expressed in words, he just knew that there must be something. You can even feel the general outline. Undoubtedly, this is also the role of perception up to 3 points. Reaching out and tearing off the cloth of the tattered lamp next to him, Qiao Mai shook the corner. Then raise the stick in his hand. Sure enough, a figure suddenly pounced out. It's the same zombie monster just now, but this one is obviously much taller and stronger. And the one who started looked like he was fourteen or fifteen years old. It seems that this is a family.

"Hmm....uhh

The monster that had pounced on the ground was just about to get up when Qiao Mai's stick struck it on the head. With the initial experience, Qiao Mai unhurriedly knocked the zombie that struggled to get up again to the ground with another stick. Then stick after stick until the monster's head was smashed into a pile of bones.

"Ding, kill a level 2 walking corpse and gain 2 experience. Gluttony activates and gains 1 extra experience. You have recovered 1 HP. ”

Seeing the monster corpse turn into black mist and disappear again, Qiao Mai listened to the voice in his head in surprise.

I didn't expect to get extra experience, it was amazing. Speaking of physical strength, Qiao Mai really hurt so much that his physical strength was only 6.5 in less than half a minute, and he disappeared by 1 point. Luckily, I had a gluttony.

Turning the corner, there is a small living room. Look at the decorations on the walls, the paintings that are hanging. It is clearly a European style of architecture from hundreds of years ago. The entire room is made of large bluestone masonry the size of a human head. The collapsed gate tells of the dilapidated and desolate age of this place.

There were also several silver crosses hanging from the door, and several circles of garlic tied together. It's just that now I can only see a rough appearance. The most strange thing is that there are still a few ghost talismans drawn by ancient Taoist priests on the door. Because time has passed, the originally bright red cinnabar has turned black and red.

It seems that this strange corpse is not a zombie, but an undead or something. The family made so many preparations, but they still couldn't escape.

Continuing to grasp the stick, Qiao Mai turned and walked upstairs. If there is a family of three, there should be another one. The family's status at that time should not be low, walking up the stairs and looking at the paintings hanging on the walls. Upstairs there are only 2 two rooms, the first bedroom does not. Pushing open the door and looking at the empty and dilapidated room, Qiao Mai continued to walk towards the money.

Sure enough, before he could get close to the door, Qiao Mai felt a monster behind the door. Stand by the door and kick it open. A fat, bloated walking corpse pounced. A low IQ is a hard injury. Completely oblivious to his panicked appearance at the beginning, Qiao Mai skillfully raised his stick and smashed it down on the head of the walking corpse.

"Ding, kill a level 2 walking corpse and gain 2 experience. Gluttony activates and gains 1 bonus experience. You have recovered 1 HP. ”

Qiao Mai, who was almost tired, felt the physical strength of the recovery, and stood up straight with difficulty. This physical problem made Qiao Mai want to cry without tears. This time, the monster's corpse turned into a black mist and disappeared, leaving a glorious ancient coin-like item in its place.

Yo, something exploded. As soon as Qiao Mai touched the ancient money, the thing turned into a ball of light and disappeared on Qiao Mai's left wrist.

"Ding, get a Mandate Copper Coin. Please note that the numismatic system is officially open. You currently own 12 Copper Destiny Coins. For every hour you survive, you consume 1 Copper Manifest Coin. The system initially gives away 12 Copper Coins, and when the Destiny Copper Coin is depleted, you will die instantly. Killing dark monsters has a chance to drop Manifest Destiny Coins. Opening chests also has a chance to obtain Copper Destiny Coins. ”

rubbing, actually only lived for 12 hours. Qiao Mai anxiously rushed into the bedroom, and sure enough. On the bedside table, a quaint wooden box glows faintly. Roughly tearing open the lid of the box, a ghost painting talisman emitting a faint yellow light lay quietly on several Mandate of Heaven copper coins.

Qiao Mai hurriedly collected all the copper coins, and watched the number displayed on his wrist turn into 17, before picking up the talisman seal in a hurry.

"The Nine-Character Mantra - Pro: You Can Learn the First Word of the Nine-Character Mantra - Pro"

"Pro: Heaven and earth have righteousness, and miscellaneous manifolds. For 3 energy, you will summon a cloud of righteousness to attack the target.

The current level cap is 5.

Collecting other parts of the nine-character mantra increases the level cap.

Skill description: The most superficial Dao technique is that ordinary people who do not have the true element and have not practiced the Dao can also spend energy to learn and use it. Practicing to a high level can also be channeled. ”

Qiao Mai chose to study without thinking about it. It's a waste of energy not to use it. Moreover, he could only live for more than ten hours like a knife hanging over his head. You have to go out and kill monsters to make money.

The broom took Qiao Mai with his hand, picked up the stick and rushed to the door.
