Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 115, Section 114: Unable to Exit

Chapter 115, Section 114: Unable to Exit (End of Instance! Not the End of the Instance!)

"Have you memorized everything?"

The stern female manager, dressed in a suit skirt, turned her head again to emphasize, and Ling Xiao, who was following behind, naturally nodded hurriedly.

The two walked one after the other along the path in the early morning.

Ling Xiao changed into his delivery uniform, and the delivery box on his back was perfect for carrying groceries.

I made about three hundred yuan from last night's catch.

If I'm not too unlucky tonight and tomorrow night, and with the price difference I saved during the day, I should be able to save up four figures.

However, there are too many uncertainties, so Ling Xiao thinks it's best to work harder to earn some extra money!

To be honest, he followed the female manager around like a shadow.

Ling Xiao suddenly realized that she had a pretty good figure!

Her waist was as slender as a willow branch, and her hips as round as a full moon...

The turmoil in my heart kept churning, only to be frozen layer by layer by Bingxin.

He could only lower his head helplessly.

He secretly overcame the aftereffects of the "Seven Deadly Sins" sashimi platter.

This item is made from the core of a mythical beast from the Seven Deadly Sins series, and is personally crafted by the stall owner, whose strength is unfathomable.

Although the stall owner seemed to be enjoying his meal immensely, Ling Xiao remained cautious.

I didn't eat it at the time.

After taking it back to the restaurant, Xiao Mo and the kitchen staff checked it and found it to be okay before we ate it for breakfast.

There's no way around it, the temptation is just too great to be willing to take the risk!

What appears to be just a plate of sashimi is actually a rare, one-time-use item.

The effect is to grant the title of "Seven Deadly Sins" and the status of "The Sinner" upon use.

[The Seven Deadly Sins (Exceptional): Seven distinct curses materialize within you; by controlling the corresponding desires, you can wield extraordinary magic; when lust consumes reason, you enter [Burning Inferno]. Controlling or indulging intense desires can transform your character.]

[You who have committed evil: The curse of the seven deadly sins is deepest upon you. The intensity of the seven desires is correspondingly amplified; desires arise more easily.]

The two are interdependent and complementary.

But Ling Xiao can only bear the negative impact of being labeled a "wicked person" for now.

Because the title is sealed, you can only watch the changes, but it cannot take effect.

"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form..."

The Seven Deadly Sins is a concept proposed by Catholic doctrine. Ling Xiao countered each move by silently reciting profound Buddhist teachings in his mind.

He never expected that this thing would have such a strong "medicinal effect"!

Details that one would never normally pay attention to suddenly ignite desire and burn fiercely.

If it weren't for the continuous suppression by [Eternal Ice Heart], the female manager walking in front would definitely have noticed something was wrong!

It's okay to embarrass yourself.

If he offends the other party and arouses their ferocity, then Ling Xiao will be truly unlucky!

Therefore, desire is ultimately just desire, and without external interference, it is ultimately controlled before it develops into lust.

Ling Xiao, who was struggling with his thoughts, also followed the female manager in charge of purchasing to the slaughterhouse.

Amidst the foul stench, Ling Xiao keenly detected a hint of "fragrance".

Various raw materials that have already been packaged come from the slaughterhouse assembly line.

It compelled him to pursue it relentlessly, to smell more, and even to put it in his mouth and chew it thoroughly...

"Hey! What's with the wind today? It blew you all here!"

The minotaur, who was struggling to swing his sledgehammer, caught two figures in his peripheral vision.

Upon seeing who it was, it dropped the blood-stained long-handled hammer in its hand and leaped off the dinosaur-like carcass.

Ling Xiao remained calm, managing his expression perfectly.

However, my heart was still stirred.

The urge to overeat surges at this moment and is difficult to suppress.

The only option is to forcibly shift your attention elsewhere.

In this city, all sorts of bizarre and wonderful things emerge one after another.

But something even stranger always appears before his eyes...

The oppressive aura emanating from this dinosaur carcass is even more terrifying than that of a Tyrant that has been unleashed and strengthened!

This was even after the other party had been dead for quite some time!

If such a terrifying behemoth were alive and hostile, the outcome of a fight would be truly uncertain...

Ling Xiao never changed his habit of comparing combat strength at first glance.

In this instance, the odds of winning are 50/50 or even lower, and the chances of winning are extremely high!

"You're a big client!"

Ling Xiao actually saw a fawning expression on the face of a cow.

The minotaur tugged at his apron, covering his chest hair, and smiled sheepishly. "It's too messy down there. Let's talk business in the office!"

Surprisingly clean.

The office on the second floor of the slaughterhouse had no smell of blood, nor even common filth like grease.

When the minotaur arrived, the bloodstains on his body had mysteriously disappeared.

And that irresistible fragrance is so rich here that it's comparable to aromatherapy essential oils!

But he just kept quiet and didn't reveal anything unusual.

Before I came, my supervisor gave me a lot of instructions.

The intricacies involved are not only related to the success or failure of a business, but also to the fate of one's life.

According to the supervisor.

Ling Xiao learned that a slaughterhouse, though it sounded ordinary, was actually a real "unit".

【Tingzhu Private Kitchen】is a well-known individual business in the city, and with the boss's wife backing it up behind the scenes, its status can be said to be quite extraordinary.

However, it's best to keep a low profile when dealing with government agencies.

Following the rules is good for everyone.

"Needless to say, the supplies we provide to your restaurant are absolutely top-notch!"

The minotaur, with fingers as thick as a radish, handed over a list and said in a low voice, "But..."

"The higher-ups are cracking down hard lately, so you'll have to follow the proper procedures... ahem!"

"Understand."

The female manager gave a curt reply, casually instructing, "Yellow, D8 today, go pick it up!"

Ling Xiao nodded silently, then turned and left the office that had caused him so much suffering.

The supervisor has gone over the pickup process many times.

So all he needs to do is go where he's supposed to go and do what he's supposed to do.

The process is also very simple.

Find the goods, pack them into the delivery box, carry them away, and you're done!

then……

"Heh heh—"

The dinosaur, whose flesh and blood had been partially dismantled, wobbled to its feet.

A prophecy.

Ling Xiao glanced at the D8 symbol on the ground and was speechless.

What kind of heartless bastard would order such an endangered protected animal to eat?!

Picking up the long-handled hammer that the minotaur had left behind, Ling Xiao felt that this thing should be more convenient than a harpoon.

Then he saw a giant axe stuck in the gaps of the dinosaur's bones, and his mind immediately began to develop some tactical ideas.

But before he could continue conceiving his ideas, a fierce wind swept in!

Peng——

The slaughterhouse floor was intact.

But just hearing the force of that tail-whip attack, Ling Xiao didn't want to get hit at all.

Pig-headed and horse-headed people in the distance all turned their gazes in this direction.

People love a good show; who wouldn't want to enjoy a good spectacle during a boring workday?

With a surge of azure energy beneath his feet, he unleashed the full power of his Chasing Wind Step without holding back!

Amidst the rising dust, a massive head suddenly burst through the cover!

Ling Xiao's eyes narrowed, and the raging anger surging within him was released while he was still restraining himself!

One person and one dragon.

Despite their vastly different sizes, the two collided head-on without hesitation.

Area D8.

Flesh and bone flew everywhere, and blood splattered in all directions!

……

"It's a pleasure working with you!"

The female supervisor rarely showed a smile.

His usually cold expression softened slightly after seeing the results of the battle downstairs.

The Minotaur were naturally happy to see this happen.

The goods belong to the government; he only gets a fixed salary.

The task was completed successfully, and both parties were happy.

Under the watchful eyes of the minotaur, Ling Xiao followed the female supervisor and left the slaughterhouse.

The takeout box on his back, which appeared perfectly normal, was already stuffed with the dismembered remains of a dinosaur.

"Are you injured?"

"Hmm...no problem, no problem."

Ling Xiao lowered his hand from his face, and the flames on it dissipated.

The fierce battle just now may have seemed complicated, but it was indeed anything but easy.

The dinosaur remains did not possess any supernatural abilities.

Simply put, high attack and high defense, great strength and bricks flying.

Once you enter area D8, you can't get out unless you defeat the current enemy.

With limited room to maneuver, Ling Xiao could only resort to the most violent methods to fight him.

This is not only the optimal solution, but also for the agreed-upon amount of money.

Fortunately, as long as he has all the necessary talents, his strength is still formidable!

It just means that the skills and various bonuses used for dodging are gone.

Injuries are inevitable.

The windproof jacket is at least a "rare" level piece of equipment; it doesn't have any protective attributes, but its defensive capabilities are not weak.

The latest novel is first published here!

So his fairly handsome face suffered.

A jagged gash almost pulled Ling Xiao's mouth to his ear, making him look like he was cosplaying the clown.

Fortunately, the bones were not damaged.

Under the effect of [Regeneration of Desire], the flesh and blood are slowly replenished.

The female supervisor didn't say any more of her usual caring nonsense.

Why is Ling Xiao working so hard?

Isn't it simply about contributing to the restaurant, not about profit?

"I'll offer you the maximum compensation here, and then I'll apply for it again when I get back. I should be able to give you a bonus of 400 for this trip."

"Thank you, supervisor!"

……

Time flies, it's just the passing of days and nights, the rising and setting of the sun and moon.

As his full abilities were gradually unleashed, Ling Xiao's strength slowly progressed from struggling to protect himself to a point where he could "run rampant without restraint."

He delivers takeout during the day and fishes for big catches at night.

Mistakes are inevitable, but injuries sustained while on duty are unlikely to be fatal.

Lingxiao will take a break and continue earning money as a nuclear-powered ox or horse!

The fruits of our labor have been delivered solidly into our hands, and there is a clear and tangible hope ahead!

He was willing to be a beast of burden!

"You only earn this much? Seriously!"

Ling Xiao looked at Qi Heng with disdain as he pulled out a few shabby red chips from his pocket.

"Hmph!"

Qi Heng had already learned of Ling Xiao's extraordinary encounter over the phone, but could only helplessly complain, "Your job certainly offers a lot of freedom!"

"But I can't! I'm like a security guard; I have to watch over the morgue!"

"I'm going out to earn some extra money. What if the things inside escape?!"

"Come on! You were having a blast playing with those female ghosts!"

Seeing that Qi Heng still wanted to argue, Ling Xiao pushed him to continue on his way, "Let's go! Getting the goods is what matters!"

Both of their taskbars were now glowing with gold, indicating that both basic and additional tasks had been completed.

After that, they are free to explore.

In addition to death, the option to leave the instance at any time has also been enabled.

Seeing that the instance did not expel them immediately, Ling Xiao also began to have his own ideas.

Holding the bonus the restaurant had just given them, they ran towards the convenience store with Qi Heng, who had finished work.

Previously, to complete the task, the latter had to stay obediently in the hospital, but now there's no need to worry about being fired.

"Oh! So... you have enough money again?"

Ling Xiao nodded excitedly, pulled out the materials he had recently bought from the store, and said generously, "Take it! I'll exchange it!"

"I want the Azure Silk Thread!"

"good!"

The stall owner happily took out the treasure that Lingxiao had been coveting for a long time.

But he didn't forget to offer advice, "With your money, you could buy the Void Alien Core."

"It's not that I'm trying to make money off you! This thing may be the most expensive, but you can feel the energy it contains—it's really powerful! Why don't you consider it?"

Ling Xiao naturally understood what the stall owner was saying.

However, he kept his distance from anything related to the void after taking office.

Unless absolutely necessary, he didn't want to have any involvement with it, let alone continue using Void-attribute treasures as advancement materials.

He didn't want to become a fanatical believer who only sang praises of void creatures...

"Here you go! Take the rest, see if you can exchange it for any good treasures!"

Ling Xiao gave the remaining chips directly to Qi Heng.

Having already purchased [Ink of the Abyss] and [Azure Silk Thread], he no longer needed materials of the Star Spirit Spring level.

Save the money, spend it.

He worked day and night to earn money, and if he was lucky, he could even make more than three thousand!

It's already quite remarkable that the angler didn't come back empty-handed.

With these two solid ingredients as ballast, even if you add three lumps of "Oli Gei" (a popular Chinese sports drink), the other three can be transformed into a golden cake!

Why not give Qi Heng a four-figure sum and see if we can get an equally rare piece of material?

"Brother Xiao, brotherhood is in our hearts! We're not really blood brothers, are we!?"

"roll!"

The stall owner watched the two bickering, his gaze deep, as if recalling the past...

Not long after, Ling Xiao left with a beaming Qi Heng.

Even though I might never come back to this instance in my lifetime, I still have to go through the proper procedures.

It's never appropriate to transmit this message in front of the indigenous people.

Just as Ling Xiao and his companion turned to a corner, their phone vibrated.

The above is a call from Xiao Mo.

Ling Xiao was somewhat conflicted.

As a former reader of online novels, he knew very well that the infinite flow genre shouldn't have too many emotional entanglements with the original authors.

But Xiao Mo is different...

This little girl is really good to him.

So much so that now, reason tells him he should just hang up the phone or even teleport away.

But his emotions were tempting him to swipe the green button to answer the call. It was just a phone call; he could just fool the girl and leave without making a fuss...

Ling Xiao is rarely indecisive, but if he hesitates, he will really find himself in a dilemma.

Fortunately, he no longer needs to worry about it.

The call was answered automatically.

To his astonishment, the hands-free button on the touchscreen automatically turned on.

"Feed? Little Mo..."

"Hello there, Xiao, and also the Bayi Kitchen Knife over there."

A pleasant female voice came from the speaker.

The two stared at each other in shock. The elegant female voice continued, "Come to the restaurant! If you don't want to be killed by the problems that will inevitably surface sooner or later."

"By the way, this isn't an invitation, it's an order."

"If you don't believe me, you can check the exit button!"

beep--

The phone call was abruptly ended.

Ling Xiao was speechless for a moment, while Qi Heng was dumbfounded.

"Holy crap... what is this?!"

"An NPC is threatening me, a player!?"

Electricity crackled around Qi Heng, and the joy of finally getting his treasure vanished instantly.

Take a deep breath.

Ling Xiao kept his eyes tightly closed, his eyelids trembling slightly.

When he opened his eyes again, countless emotions surged and rose within them.

"Another entity that can affect the panel... damn it..."
