Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

"You will then have a weapon that will be extremely intimidating to Rocks. If he treats you badly in the future, use the method I told you today to deal with him. I guarantee he will become very well-behaved and obedient."

What a vicious plan!

"Humph! At worst, I'll just give up this trick!"

"Will you really give up? What if Theresa offers to help you one day~~"

Charles was speechless.

"Men~~" Peroz looked at him with disgust.

Facing her gaze, Ciel swore that he would eventually avenge the blow he had taken today! (///￣皿￣)○～

Chapter 290 Chapter 170 The Trial of Hunger

Faced with the sharp-tongued Peroz, Charles was defeated and had no choice but to raise the white flag in surrender.

"Okay, stop making trouble. Let's go downstairs to have some breakfast and prepare for our next trip."

This city of knowledge is only the first stop of their journey, not the end. There will be many more cities waiting for them.

Theresa nodded. Although she was still curious about what the two people had just been talking about, she did not continue to ask.

"Rocks, get dressed and go out and wait for us." Peroz glanced at Charles who was lying in bed slowly and urged.

Ciel glanced at her and then grumbled, "Are you afraid of exposing yourself? You're clearly wearing such warm clothes when you sleep."

"It's because I wear so many clothes when I sleep that I have to change clothes when I wake up. Do you want to see it?" she joked.

"Is it okay?" Charles asked with surprise.

Then he was pushed off the bed by Teresa and Peroz, and then pushed out of the room.

"I haven't washed up yet..."

"No, I don't think I need to wash either." As a demigod, his body cannot be said to be flawless and perfect, but at least it has some divine characteristics.

Washing is completely unnecessary. Even the clean water used for washing can be considered "unclean" to his body.

After walking downstairs, Charles saw Morin sitting in the rest area below the hotel.

"Sir~" After seeing Charles, Morin waved happily at him.

"You woke up so early." Charles said as he picked up the tea that Morin poured for him and drank it.

"What happened yesterday was such a huge blow to me. In order to prevent being abandoned by my husband, I think I should be more diligent." Morin said aggrievedly.

"Yesterday was not a good experience for me. If possible, I would like to switch with you." Charles smacked his lips. It was still a bit crowded for three people to sleep in one bed.

"I don't want it. If I really change it, I probably won't see the sun today." Mo Lin quickly waved his hand to refuse.

Charles glanced at him without saying anything.

"Sir, what did you gain last night? Thanks to you, I learned some very interesting things." Morin asked Charles with a smile on his face.

"Fortunately, these are things you are not qualified to know." Charles glanced at Morin who always wanted to get something out of him and said calmly.

"It's such a pity. I wonder when I will be qualified to know more things?" he asked curiously.

"You?" Ciel held his chin and looked at him. "It will probably take a long time. It's possible that you won't reach the point where I agree in your entire life."

Morin is too eccentric, and his way of thinking is different from others. Who knows what shocking and bizarre things he will do after knowing more things.

"You are so strict, even though I respect you so much." Morin looked at Charles with a bitter face.

Is that respect? You're after my body... No, you're after everything I have. You're despicable!

Charles and Morin were chatting idly, and soon Theresa and Peroz came down the stairs.

"I thought it would take you longer."

"If it weren't for Theresa, it would have taken us even less time." Peroz glanced at Theresa beside him and said helplessly.

"Teresa~ You are being disliked~" Charles said with a smile.

"No, I was just delayed for a little while putting on makeup." She felt a little embarrassed.

Although Peroz emphasized that it is best not to wear makeup during the expedition, the smell of cosmetics can reveal a lot of information.

But this time it was an expedition just for her and Peroz, with Charles following.

Women dress up to please themselves, and deep down she hopes that Charles can see her beautiful side.

"Well... As expected, Theresa is still more beautiful than Peroz today~" Charles hugged her gently and said with a smile.

Peroz rolled his eyes.

"Okay, let's find a place to eat. We have to get on the road after eating." She said unhappily.

Although Peroz didn't care about her appearance and even had a hideous scar on her face for a long time, she was still a little unhappy when she was teased about it in front of her friends.

"Breakfast should be provided here," Theresa said uncertainly.

Generally speaking, better hotels provide this service. Although the House of Literature and Art is one of the most important places in the city, looking at the owner Teresa who looks like a salted fish, it seems that something is a little uncertain.

Charles fixed his gaze on the boss. Meeting his gaze, the boss waved his hand weakly, "We don't have the food you want here. We don't have the food you want in the entire City of Knowledge."

“Knowledge is the most delicious food for us.”

Several people were stunned for a moment. Knowledge is the best food?

Can such abstract things be eaten?

"Let's eat dry food." Peroz sighed and took out some dry bread slices and bacon prepared yesterday.

However, these things disappeared as soon as they were taken out. No, it should be said that they were transformed into some strange texts.

Peroz curiously touched the words that were transformed from the food she took out, and then those words lined up along Peroz's fingers and rushed into her body in an instant.

She was stunned for a moment.

"Are you okay?" Theresa asked concernedly.

Peroz shook his head. "I'm fine. I just learned some unconventional knowledge about how to make bacon and dry bread."

"It seems we won't be able to have breakfast." Teresa sighed, holding her stomach.

I won’t be too hungry if I skip a meal, but I will always feel my stomach is empty.

Charles blinked and then took out some food from his own space. The things he took out were converted into words just like Peroz, even if he used his power to protect some of them.

This city is really weird...

Just as he was about to make further attempts, a voice sounded in his ear, "Don't waste your time. This is the rule here. Even greater beings who descend here must abide by the rules."

"So as guests, we are going to go hungry?" Charles turned his attention and looked at Pandora behind him.

"Don't worry, the adult in front has prepared a rich lunch for you." Pandora said with a smile.

"Is that so?" Charles looked at him carefully and frowned. "I feel like there's something missing from you compared to yesterday."

Her demeanor, tone, and aura were exactly the same as Pandora's yesterday, but today's Pandora gave Ciel a sense of strangeness, or rather, a sense of disharmony.

"Maybe it's because I changed into new clothes?" the other person said with a smile.

"Did you change?" Looking at Pandora who was still dressed the same as yesterday, Charles couldn't help but complain, "Of course I did." Pandora raised her left hand, and a pink bracelet appeared on her wrist.

Charles looked at her speechlessly.

However, he did not continue to ask. No matter what the source of this discordant aura was, as long as it did not affect him, it was enough.

After all, he didn't plan to live here for a long time, so it didn't matter to him whether she had any problems or not.

Then they packed their luggage and left Visdel according to the route on the map.

Watching the backs of several people, Pandora smiled slightly, and then slowly turned into spots of light and merged into the entire city.

"You have a very keen sense..."

The previous Pandora was the real Pandora who came out from the distant past, but now she is just a part of that Pandora, just the incarnation of the City of Knowledge.

Although the two are the same person, there are huge differences between them.

"I don't know when my real self will be able to return. If it takes too long, I won't want to admit that I'm just a clone..."

"Was there something wrong with that lady just now?" Peroz asked curiously in the carriage.

"She's less spiritual, but at the same time, she has something more that's hard to describe compared to yesterday." Charles said with a smile as he recalled Pandora yesterday and today.

"But it's not a big deal. People are unique beings, and each day they are different from the day before. Although her changes are quite significant, they are still within normal fluctuations."

Peroz nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Then, like Theresa and Maureen, he looked out the window of the carriage.

Most of the journeys are boring.

But in the astral realm, this is not the case.

They had just stepped out of the range of Visdel and encountered many interesting things.

Various extraordinary creatures that cannot be seen in the main world, the roads that constantly change and even walk in the "mouths" of some creatures, the grass and flowers that hum, and the "food" that jumps and jumps into the mouths of some extraordinary creatures all make several people feel eye-opening.

"I don't know much about the astral realm, so even though it seems there's no danger around right now, you still need to stay alert."

"Anything can happen here."

"Rumor has it that an ancient god fell in this place, and there are also legends that several powerful true gods exist deep in the astral realm." "But these are just legends. We need to experience the specific situation here for ourselves."

Ciel said to the people around him while looking at the map to ensure that his route would not deviate from the route shown on the map.

He is really unfamiliar with this place.

Ciel was just a young demigod, and he still had some impression of worlds like the Spirit World and the Shadow World, after all, he had been there with Lady Doom.

But the Star Realm was a place of endless wonder and mystery. Even if he had lived here for decades, let alone just once, he wouldn't have known much about it.

After all, except for some specific cities, things are changing here every day and every moment.

"It's so strange... We've already walked out of Visdel, why can't we take out the food?" Theresa looked at the orange that had turned into text again, and felt her mentality break down.

Obviously, skipping a meal was not a big deal for her, but she didn't know what went wrong. She felt very hungry, and getting hungrier and hungrier. Or rather, it was not just her stomach, but even her body and soul were becoming hungry.

At this moment, all she wanted in her mind was to have a good meal, and all thoughts of adventure were thrown out of her mind.

"It's probably because of the feast that the man Pandora mentioned prepared for us."

"Until we have that meal, we can't take out all our own food." Charles said in a strange tone.

In the city, Charles couldn't change the rules of the city, so he could only let Theresa go hungry. Theoretically, they had advanced a long way, so he could take out some delicious food for Theresa to enjoy.

But he still couldn't do that at this moment - they seemed to have left Wesdel for a long time, but in fact they had not completely left his territory.

After all, no one says cities can't have legs and run wildly behind carriages...

"Can't you think of a solution? I feel a little hungry too." Peroz touched his stomach and said.

"Me too, sir." Morin on the side also raised his hand and said.

It was fine just now, but Theresa herself could not bear the hunger. However, as the journey continued, Peroz and Morin also felt this torture.

This is a very incredible thing for them as mid-to-high-level extraordinary people.

"Could it be some kind of curse..." Peroz asked with a frown as he looked at Theresa, who was lying on the carriage, holding her stomach and groaning.

Ciel glanced at the few people and then shook his head, "This is a good thing for you."

"This hunger is not a curse; it can even be considered a blessing."

"The reason you feel this unbearable hunger is simply because your body and soul have consumed too much energy and need to be replenished."

"And the reason you consume so much energy is because of the demands of the extraordinary characteristics within your body."

"It's growing at an unreasonable rate."

"Now the hungrier you are, the more you need to be patient."

"When your hunger reaches an extreme, you can replenish your energy. There's a high probability that you'll gain extraordinary self-improvement."

Although this kind of thing was a little unbelievable, and even Charles had never encountered it, his judgment was not wrong based on the changes in their bodies and the degree of power emanating from them.

"Of course, all of this is premised on you being able to find food to fill your hunger before you starve to death. Otherwise, you might actually die."

Charles was trying to scare them. Although they were suffering from hunger at this moment, they would definitely not starve to death.

The advancement of extraordinary characteristics requires insufficient energy in one's body and soul.
