Deep in the Living

Chapter 770 Choice
It was the familiar living room again, just like the dreams that always brought Roddy here during his deep coma.

He is simply unaware of this, and even though he has reached his current level, he still cannot realize that he is in a dream.

I woke up normally.

After washing up and using the toilet, I ate the noodles my mother cooked and went to school with my schoolbag on my back.

Dark clouds loomed, as if the darkness of yesterday had not yet faded.

The bus stop had a notice that the bus was not running today, so Roddy had to run to school. However, he hadn't run for long when he heard a strange noise.

It's like the cheerful music of a circus, but it's also mixed with some noise and strange sounds.

He tilted his head to look.

The alleyway was packed with people. Peeking through the gaps in the crowd, it seemed that there was someone very important to Roddy, someone he couldn't ignore.

He ran over and squeezed through the crowd.

Inside was a clown's lottery booth, with four large gift boxes placed on the table.

Simply spin the lottery wheel on the side, and once the pointer lands on the "Win" entry, you can open any gift box.

However, judging from the proportion of those who win, the probability is only about 2%.

"It's a lucky draw! A free lucky draw! There are four prizes in total... To the student who cut in line, since you look friendly, we'll let you go first!"

Roddy also responded proactively, turning the wheel forcefully.

To my surprise, when the roulette wheel started spinning, the ones that had mostly said "thank you for participating" suddenly turned into "winning" prizes.

As the roulette wheel gradually slowed down, although everything returned to normal, the pointer seemed to be drawn towards the narrow area where the winning number was located.

"Congratulations! You're the first winner today, you're incredibly lucky! Hurry up and pick a gift box, every one of them is guaranteed to have a surprise grand prize inside!"

however.

Roddy's hand was about to place on the gift box when he suddenly exerted force and pierced through the clown's face.

however.

The clown, though pierced, did not die and continued to make sounds through his remaining mouth.

"Oh dear, you actually saw through it! Roddy, you're getting more and more amazing. Well then, I can only wish you the best in choosing the relic you want."

Snapped!
The clown's body exploded, and Roddy regained consciousness.

Surprisingly, I didn't sleep in the toilet, but instead lay in the lounge that the staff had mentioned before.

In the pitch black, only the light from the television in the corner shone through, and a black-skinned pig-headed baby was sitting on the ground watching the movie on it.

He was so engrossed in watching that he didn't even notice that Roddy had woken up.

"Morton, how long have I been asleep?"

Upon hearing Roddy's voice, the other party also pressed the pause button.

"About four or five hours," Morton quickly pointed to the television. "Is this the kind of terrifying culture that your lowly world has developed? It's quite interesting. In the world I used to live in, everyone was an idiot. They hadn't even achieved a complete standardization of their writing system. All they did was fight each other all day long. Cultural products like this are still stuck in the realm of writing, and they're all uncreative garbage."

Once my eyes are sharpened, I must go back and wipe them all out.

"Did the store clerk notify you?"

"Oh! I came by two hours ago, but I didn't wake you up since you were sleeping."

"The food should be ready. Do you want to go?"

"I'm not going~ It's not something I'd like to see. You can bring it back for me to look at later. I haven't finished watching the movie yet, so you can go at your own pace, no rush."

"Row."

Roddy was naturally a little anxious, and he quickened his pace as he headed toward the counter.

The shop assistant was already sitting there, smoking a pipe; the incubation process was clearly over.

"Oh? Come with me. Your experience in the primitive dungeon was quite rich, which corresponds to multiple incubation results... You need to make the final choice yourself."

"Multiple outcomes?"

The shop assistant, with a pipe in his mouth, led Roddy to a mysterious private room.

As soon as Roddy pushed open the door, he froze. The ancient aura emanating from inside gave him the feeling of returning to a dungeon or entering a secret chamber.

The "Egg of Evil" was fixed to the stone platform in the center.

The mouth on its face was constantly exhaling mist, enveloping the area.

The egg had grown to more than three times its original size and was no longer a pendant, but a container.

The top of the egg has blossomed like a flower, and one can almost see the relics of the past inside.

"how should I do?"

"Just reach in and grab what's inside."

"Row."

Roddy took a deep breath and stepped forward.

He first tried to peer inside the egg. Although the surface was open, it was covered by a white membrane, making it impossible to see clearly, and he couldn't taste anything.

Since he couldn't sense it, he simply took action; after all, it belonged to Roddy. After a moment's thought,
Roddy still decided to reach into it with his original, unmodified right hand, piercing through the warm white membrane, and touching the old relic hidden inside.

The moment before they were about to touch
Time seemed to stand still.

His consciousness was forcibly pulled back to the pituitary space, back to the core room where plants were growing, where there was now an extra person.

Jock, his face covered in white paint, stood in the corner. In front of him was a table with four gift boxes on it.

The scene was almost identical to what I saw in my dream, except there was no lottery machine here; it seemed that I could directly choose a reward.

"Oh! Don't worry, and don't kill me! This relic originated from my pituitary gland, so the final handover ceremony naturally needs to be performed by me."

I'm already a 'victim,' you don't need to be wary of me."

Roddy himself had no hostility; he knew very well that the Jock in front of him was merely the embodiment of the relic bestowed upon him.

"Given your experience in the original dungeon, you have the right to choose one of four different relics from the past! Detailed information about the relics is written on the surface of each of these gift boxes."

Please do not open the gift box before making your choice, otherwise it will be assumed that you have made a choice.

After Jock's brief explanation, Roddy stepped forward and began examining the information on the relics.

1. "A squatting toilet neck ring with cracks"

Summary:
The original squat toilet style design fits your neck perfectly, allowing you to enjoy the privilege of using the toilet once you put it on. The stench of the past permeates everything around us, causing immense psychological trauma for those with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Characteristics: foul odor, space.

ability:

① Odor (Mist) - Inherited from the Egg of Evil, the mist property allows individuals wearing the neck ring to release the odor from their pores. Any individual exposed to the odor will be eaten by maggots, and their sense of taste and smell will be fundamentally damaged.

In addition, most of the basic characteristics of the fog will be retained, but the stealth aspect will be greatly affected.

②Deep in the squatting pit - the neck ring has a unique built-in space, in which the individual can permanently bury their head to avoid external injury.

Liberation of the Past: When an individual fully adapts to this neck ring and can accommodate their entire body under the squat toilet, they will gradually understand the nature of the stench and combine it with relics.

……

Looking at the description of the first relic, even though Roddy couldn't smell anything, he still sensed a foul stench.

He couldn't understand who would choose this particular relic, so he quickly moved away, afraid of accidentally opening the gift box.

He then tiptoed to look at the second piece of the keepsake.

2. "Heretical Proliferation"

Description: A distinctive, exposed pendant that, when worn, induces a strong reproductive desire and greatly enhances related abilities. It enables interspecies and intergender reproduction.

Traits: Reproduction, physical enhancement.

ability:

① Pink Mist - Retaining the original mist's properties, any target who inhales the pink mist will also develop corresponding desires and feel intense affection for the wearer.

② Trait Enhancement - Individuals can gain corresponding structural enhancements by absorbing the fluids secreted from relics, while also significantly increasing their physical strength. The relevant structures will be greatly enhanced, exceeding the limits of the species to reach a level capable of instilling submission or fear in the target.

Liberation of the Past: When an individual's desire for reproduction reaches a certain limit, they can try to passively combine with relics.

……

The familiar scent of photinia made Roddy keep his distance, and he quickly looked at the third relic.

3. "Moonstone"

Description: A special item from a narrow crevice in bandages, rumored to be a mysterious stone obtained from the hands of the great moon goddess. However, the moon goddess of old was often cunning, and perhaps this so-called moonstone is just an ordinary rock.

Traits: Good-looking, mysterious.

Ability: (Hidden by moonlight)

The old liberation: (now obscured by moonlight)

"What's going on?" Roddy asked tentatively.

Jock replied with a smile, "It means exactly what it says... It's a rather mysterious relic. Only you can judge its specific effects if you obtain it yourself. And as the description says, it might just be an ordinary stone."

Roddy continued looking at the final choice of relics.

4. "The Dead Crow"

Description: A dead, dried-out crow. It can be worn as a pendant around the neck, as an ornament around the waist, or simply placed in a pocket.

Traits: Death, Rebirth, Loneliness.

ability:

① Raven Miasma (derived from Mist) - A dark miasma emanating from the body of a dead raven, making affected individuals easier to kill. After each kill, the user must feed a portion of the target's flesh to the dead raven as a reward.

②Rotten feeding - If an individual has irreparable physical damage, you can feed the rotten flesh from the wound or the entire limb to the dead crow. After a period of time, new flesh particles will appear from the crow's beak, thus allowing the body to regenerate.

③ Death Scream - As the battle progresses and the amount of food consumed, dead crows may briefly revive, emitting a piercing scream that instills great fear in the target.

Old Release: When the dead crow formally acknowledges the user, it will be willing to completely devour the user...
