Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 97, Chapter 096: The City of Frenzied Desire

"Brother Xiao... is this really edible?"

"Don't doubt it, just take a small bite and you'll see."

As Ling Xiao hissed and yelled, he noticed that Su Jinxi still looked somewhat hesitant.

He knew this delicious treat was fleeting, so he simply helped by stuffing it directly into the latter's slightly open mouth.

"Oh, and remember to tie your hair up."

"Watch out, you might get burned! You have to eat this quickly after it's lit, it's delicious!"

Qi Heng, who was standing next to him, was also enjoying his meal and would occasionally offer some pointers.

Who would have thought?

The fiery lizard, covered in hard scales and bony spikes, has surprisingly delicious meat inside!

Especially the two fattest pieces of meat near the ribs.

Cut the meat into strips about two fingers wide, ignite them, and then put them in your mouth to chew. The skin is slightly charred and the juice is rich, making for an absolutely amazing taste experience!

This way of eating wasn't something Ling Xiao and his friend discovered out of boredom.

After an afternoon of hard work, the top two players on the [Level Ranking] and [Hunting Ranking] in District 6103 have now reached LV15.

After these days of development, the Discovery Ranking is still considered to have slightly lower prestige in the eyes of many.

Because no matter what, the impact of these numbers is not as direct as that of the first two lists.

【枭】 ranks second on the 【Exploration Ranking】.

The first one is still an old acquaintance.

【The Agile Dog in the Mountains】has firmly dominated the 【Exploration Ranking】with its LV11 "Cultivation".

Ling Xiao was unable to achieve the goal of being number one on all three lists, but he did not feel unhappy or resentful.

After all, at this stage, the rewards on the leaderboard are no different.

In the absence of conflicts of interest, he would love to make a fortune quietly.

Aside from erecting a signboard, this empty reputation can only be used to make fun of Qi Heng.

He was more curious about what this guy did for a living.

According to other people's investigations.

This "Agile Dog from the Mountains" barely speaks in the channel, and hasn't even joined a guild!

The key point is that they are still alive and well.

The exploration value data clearly shows that this person is in a separate tier, followed by Ling Xiao and Qi Heng, and then other top explorers.

Based on the analysis from "a long time ago", Ling Xiao suspects that the other party may have discovered a separate mission line.

Despite having a ranking on the [Rank Ranking], this person is completely unknown on the [Kill Ranking].

Experienced feeders will proactively come to your door?

Ling Xiao merely paid attention, without showing any particular concern.

The current [Green Mountain Light] is thriving and no longer needs to bring in new talent to strengthen its foundation.

For example, the way to eat this delicious food came from a logistics member who has awakened the cooking skills.

With him around, the guild members' culinary enjoyment has skyrocketed!

From small things, one can see the big picture.

In the early stages, guild members could only help with intelligence gathering and group attacks. When encountering a tough boss, Ling Xiao had to rack his brains to fight it off.

Today's professionals are truly powerful when they form teams and contribute together!

Especially the well-rounded [Aoyama no Hikari], after the members have acquired sufficiently powerful "superpowers", can finally demonstrate the terrifying power of "human determination to overcome nature"!

The rising energy burned away the grease on his hands.

Ling Xiao stood up and kicked Qi Heng, who was still gnawing on a bone.

"Now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, it's time to get to work!"

He gave Ye Zhanqing, who was on high alert, a reassuring look.

Check the status again.

In the talent bar, the four newly added derivative talents are comfortably listed at the end.

[Fire Seed Regeneration], [Blazing Breath], [Burning Immunity], and [Rebirth from Fire].

After clearing out a significant number of the Fiery Lizards outside the medium-sized demonic tide landing point, Ling Xiao successfully replenished his talent gauge.

Moreover, through this intensive, indoctrination-style training, all four aspects have reached the "excellent" quality.

Having confirmed that everything was at its peak, Ling Xiao took out the key to the dungeon that had already been opened.

"Aside from talent and form, everything else needs to be unlocked before it can be used. Want a couple of sips of freshly squeezed juice?"

A fleeting blush crossed Qi Heng's face as he smacked his lips and handed over a half-empty bottle of the mixed solution.

"A shortcut... well, let's give it a try!"

Ling Xiao took the spiritual drink that the "Master Brewer" had concocted in three minutes and downed it in one gulp.

The liquor drew a fiery line down my esophagus and plunged straight into my stomach!

As the alcohol took effect, Ling Xiao's face turned purplish-red for a moment, and a temporary status was added to his status bar.

[Bloodlust Frenzy: Slightly increases Agility and Perception upon seeing, smelling, or tasting blood (effect lasts for one hour)]

not bad.

Although the effect is not very strong, the lack of side effects is a complete benefit.

"Bloody Mary? Where did she get such an unlucky name!"

Ling Xiao feigned anger and complained one last time, when suddenly the seven-colored light before his eyes expanded.

Consciousness was instantly submerged in pure white light.

……

The air was filled with the earthy smell, the fresh scent of grass and trees, and a distinct dusty odor.

The latest novel is first published here!

The process of slowly waking up was forcibly skipped by my thoughts.

Ling Xiao instinctively activated his protective qi, but to no avail. It was like trying to write with a pen but accidentally poking someone with a finger.

Fortunately, its powerful attributes were not stripped away.

Their mental clarity and physical reflexes are much stronger than those of normal people.

Supported by the branches and leaves, Ling Xiao looked around and saw Qi Heng standing beside him, flashing with lightning.

Before long, the two were made to stand by the green belt and receive a scolding.

"New here? Unemployed, right?"

The tall, muscular security guard crossed his arms, his massive muscles almost bursting through his thin uniform.

Perhaps due to standing guard for too long, the security guard's wheat-colored skin had become more than healthy and attractive.

There is a trend toward developing towards brownish-black.

Beneath the training cap was a head of spiky blond hair. The security guard's condescending gaze, made even more intimidating by the faint red glint in his eyes, was palpable.

As a result, Qi Heng did not extinguish the lightning at all, and Ling Xiao also activated [Blazing Sun Explosion].

This talent, inherited from his fallen comrade, has now become his most useful "weapon".

It's an all-rounder that can temporarily replace [Wind and Fire Frenzy].

Sensing that the two were unusual, the security guard chuckled, "Oh ho? You've got some nerve... Out of a sense of duty, I'm just giving you two a heads-up."

After a slight pause, an aura no weaker than Ling Xiao's and the other two erupted from him.

"If you can fight and dare to fight, you can definitely survive here. After all, this city is very simple; apart from background, it only recognizes fists."

"but……"

His dark gaze swept over the two tense bodies. The security guard grinned, revealing conspicuous red lips and white teeth.

"Until you're certain you can take on an entire city single-handedly, you'd better find a big tree to shelter under. Because in this city, death isn't scary; sometimes, it's even a luxury..."

"alright!"

He withdrew his oppressive aura and pointed to a spot not far away.

"A good job is the foundation for your livelihood here. Since you're new here, head over to the Human Resources Committee and find some work!"

"Pay more attention,"

The security guard concluded by saying, "If you really have no other way to make a living, come find me! It's good to avoid taking decades of detours!"

"Big brother! Thanks a lot!"

Qi Heng withdrew his lightning but not completely, giving a simple, honest smile. "I'll strive to make something of myself! Of course! I wouldn't rule out the possibility of coming to you for help!"

Ling Xiao smiled politely, and then they walked together toward the spacious office.

Behind them, the security guard let out a low sigh with a half-smile.

"To rise above others?"

"Heh... I can't speak for other things, but the number of heads... is quite a lot..."
