Chapter 65 Sweet and Sour!

The moon was bright and the wind was blowing slowly.

People all over Cherry City looked up at the silent night sky.

It seems that they are still looking for the disappearing 'Witch's House', as if only by maintaining such movements can they ease the turbulent emotions in their hearts.

After more than ten seconds, someone's footsteps broke the silence.

Like a stone thrown into the lake, there are ripples.

Everyone wakes up.

The 'mysterious side people' disappeared one after another with mixed feelings.

Ordinary people either stayed where they were and talked in a low voice, or turned around and went home, while some smart people were eyeing those 'mysterious side people' who looked unusual.

A week ago, the confession of the Ground Investigation Bureau had already let ordinary people know that there is another world besides the world they are familiar with.

They are curious and afraid of that strange world.

Curious about the unknown.

Fear is also the unknown.

And of course...power!

Everyone aspires to be extraordinary.

When young, everyone thinks that they are born and extraordinary.

In adulthood, everyone is forced to admit to being ordinary.

When an opportunity to become extraordinary arises, what will you do?

Some people are still willing to be ordinary, their edges and corners have long been smoothed out by reality.

And some?

Is to seize the opportunity.

They have not yet compromised.

As for the result?

Most of the results were dismal.

Small portions are enviable.

However, none of this is about Jason.

When the "Witch's Farewell" was issued, he became the focus of the courtyard.

Brian and McCall looked at Jason with the eyes of someone who had come over, especially McCall, who was holding a beer mug, and gave Jason a thumbs up gesture.

Jennifer, McCall met.

Although it looked a little nervous, he felt that it was unexpectedly appropriate for Jennifer to stand beside Jason. It was a feeling of commensurate breath. Under such a feeling, McCall thought that Jennifer was a good girl.

And John's eyes flashed a trace of envy, and then he fell into a deep memory. He stood in the corner, touched Daisy's head, and remained silent, only when Daisy stuck out her tongue and licked him. When the time came, the gloomy man responded, whispering something similar to comforting Daisy, just like Daisy comforted him.

Teri and Kemi, two little girls, are different.

"Humph!"

"I knew it!"

"Fox spirit!"

Teri said angrily, then turned her head and pulled Kemi's palm, comforting Kemi softly.

"Don't worry Kemi!"

"Any vixen is only good for scarves, gloves and hats in the end!"

"Victory is ours!"

After speaking, Terry made a cheering gesture to her best friend.

Cammy chuckled and shook her head.

"I'm not worried."

"It's a little uncomfortable, but I think... that's normal."

"normal?"

"Is it normal there?"

Teri was puzzled by Kemi's words.

"Jason's excellence will attract other ladies, which is normal!"

"but me?"

"It's about becoming better, surpassing other ladies!"

Cammy explained with a smile.

Faced with such an explanation, Terry subconsciously wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, it seemed to make sense, but after thinking about it again, she felt something strange.

In the end, Teri fell into a thoughtful silence.

until--

thump!

Delbon, who was sitting in the farthest corner, slipped out of the wooden chair and knelt down there.

"Delbon, what's wrong with you?"

Terry asked.

After Delbon promised to return 4,993 of the 5,000 yuan, and calculated the interest according to the standard given by Cherry City's bank on the same day, Terri's generous choice forgave Delbon.

"It's okay, I drank too much, and my legs are a little weak."

Delbon, who was holding orange juice, said vaguely.

At this moment, the gaze of this 'Clock Tower' member of the 'Ground Investigation Bureau' looking at Jason is no longer pure awe, but also a deep adoration.

To have a child with the 'witch' in such a short period of time? !

It's so touching...

I'm envious!

Although the 'witch' is crazy, she is indeed a good-looking and powerful woman, right?

With the latter, the former is also acceptable, isn't it?

Especially for a man like Delbon who can only rely on books to "relieve loneliness", he is really envious to the point of soreness.

As for the 'witch' lying?

That is impossible!

Delbon never doubted this.

Everyone admits that the "witch" is crazy, but the crazy "witch" has one thing that everyone must admit: keeping promises and being honest.

Contradictory, right?

The person known as the "Witch" was always considered honest and kept her promises.

Maybe it's because...she's crazy?

But no matter what, after such a "point" appeared, Delbon was even more envious.

At this moment, Delbon even had an impulse in his heart!

He wants to learn from Jason and learn 'how to communicate correctly with women'!

In this way, he is no longer alone, can have a happy family, and can also implement the "family man way" he learned from John, Brian, and McCall.

Thinking about it, Delbon became excited.

But sooner, Delbon calmed down.

He has a teacher.

He had great respect for his teacher.

It was his teacher who gave him a helping hand when he was in the most difficult time, and taught him precious knowledge step by step, so he abandoned his teacher...

No no no!

I can't do this!

I have to uphold my morals!

A voice sounded in Delbon's mind.

You have no girlfriend in your thirties!

Do you want to be alone for a lifetime?

Do you want to be like your teacher and be alone at the age of 150?

Another voice followed.

The two voices were arguing in Delbon's mind, causing Delbon to hesitate.

Jason completely recovered at this time.

Mad woman.

He thought silently in his heart, and then swallowed the meat in his mouth.

Feeling the unique soft taste of mutton and the moisturization of suet between the teeth, Jason couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"The moonlight is beautiful tonight?"

"but……"

"Tonight's supper is more delicious!"

Jason murmured softly.

Then, Jason stood up, waved at the three of John, and walked straight into the 'fortress'.

Dinner has already been eaten.

Next?

Of course it's supper time.

Touching the finger-sized crystal Jennifer gave him, Jason's saliva began to secrete again.

The scent on this crystal was something he had never smelled before.

What would that taste like?

Jason thought of this, and his footsteps became faster and faster.

As soon as he returned to the underground room and closed the door, he couldn't help but took out the crystal.

Under the light of the room, this crystal bloomed with a strange fire, like the heat of a rich assorted pot rising under the flames.

Jason opened his mouth, stuck out his tongue, and touched the crystal lightly with the tip of his tongue.

He wanted to taste it first.

Then--

Jason disappeared.

Not even vaporized, completely disappeared.

The crystal fell out of thin air.

Just as the crystal was about to fall to the ground, a palm firmly caught it.

Jason, who appeared again, put the crystal in front of him, and there was a trace of surprise on his face, but it was more of a surprise.

The accident was because of the special nature of this crystal, which was similar to the energy core of the spaceship.

The surprise is naturally because of the taste of this crystal, which is sweet and has an extraordinary Q bomb, similar to jelly, but a hundred times sweeter than jelly.

'Remember: it's dangerous - you have to be determined to never regret it before you can start! ’

Jason couldn't help but think of the words of the 'witch'.

Before he thought it was an adjective.

Now it seems to be understood as a quantifier.

"Can you eat it only after dying a hundred times?"

Jason silently looked at his satiety.

Just after the "accidental death", he still has 365 points of satiety.

121.6 lives...enough!

Jason didn't hesitate and licked the crystal again.

Death a hundred times, loss of 300 points of satiety, in exchange for a 'food', is it worth it?

Maybe not worth it in the eyes of others.

But in Jason's view, it is worth it.

Because this 'food' was bought at the price of a hundred deaths, and its value should be more than a hundred deaths.

Jason is pretty sure of that!

He tasted it.

His tongue will not deceive him.

disappear, appear.

Appear and disappear.

Jason standing in the room is like a phantom, constantly changing.

A hundred times!

Not bad once!

As the witch said, after a hundred times, it is the real beginning.

When Jason's tongue touched the crystal for the 101st time, the outer layer of the crystal was licked by Jason.

click!

With a crisp sound, a crack appeared on the crystal.

The inner light waves rippled, as if there was juice swaying.

Jason threw the crystal into his mouth without hesitation.

Sweet!

A refreshing sweetness permeated Jason's taste buds from the crystal, and Jason couldn't help biting it with his teeth.

click!

Another crisp sound.

The crystal shattered completely, and the juice inside burst out completely.

Jason's face suddenly contorted.

acid!

So sour!

Inside the sweet crystal shell, it turned out to be completely sour juice that made people tremble.

Almost subconsciously, Jason began to sip hard on the crystal shell, hoping to dilute the sourness with sweetness.

It is undoubtedly correct to do so.

Although the sweetness cannot completely make the sour taste disappear.

But it made the sour taste less unacceptable.

and……

It seems sweet and sour?

After just a second, Jason couldn't help chewing.

"It's kind of like stuffed chocolate."

"It's just a weird version."

“Taste...great!”

Jason commented.

Because, after experiencing the initial sourness, the taste of this crystal is really great, and the grasp between sweetness and sourness is really the most appropriate of all the foods he has ever eaten.

A little more sweet.

Anything less is sour.

An inexplicable sense of balance continued to surround Jason's mouth.

At the same time, a special force gradually merged into Jason's soul under the talent of [Predator].

【Devouring the unknown power! 】

[Unknown power is being judged, the judgment is successful...]

[Devouring judgment, the judgment is successful...]

[Get the talent 'Thorns'! 】

[Thorns: Your different soul from another world has become more and more different at this moment-do you want to hurt me? You must have the consciousness of being killed by me! Effect: When you suffer an 'attack', you will return 1% of your damage to the attacker. 】

...

No satiety.

Not even the excitement of eating.

But Jason was overjoyed.

Because, there is talent!

Moreover, unlike those passive talents listed under [Predator], [Thorns] appears under [Predator], but it does not belong to [Predator].

is independent.

"Thorns, thorns."

"Reverse injury 1%?"

"Does that mean that someone who kills me a hundred times will surely die?"

Jason thought almost subconsciously.

Then, shook his head again.

1% of the counter-injury is really too few, so few that only the person who attacked him is not a fool, he will immediately find something wrong, stop the attack, and change his strategy.

Of course, not necessarily all.

For example: Mechanical!

No feeling, but extremely precise machinery!

Even breaking 1% is enough to turn everything around!

Jason couldn't help but come up with some combat strategies in his mind.

Then, naturally, he thought about whether [Thorns] could be upgraded?

He feels he can!

As long as he eats more crystals like before.

But where did those crystals come from?

Jennifer has left, he doesn't know.

Maybe from the "mysterious side" of this world?

Jason thought.

It's just that in the bottom of his heart, Jason doesn't hold out much hope.

Because he had a hunch.

That's what Jennifer is 'urging' him to do as soon as possible.

In fact, Jason now has an idea of ​​​​looking for the 'witch'.

The thought made Jason frown.

"Have you been seen through?"

Jason muttered to himself.

Then, shrugged.

He's not afraid to be seen through weaknesses, and he's been working hard to overcome them.

In Jason's view, the 'witch's urging' in front of him will only make him more determined to overcome his weaknesses and give him more motivation.

Of course, it would be great if you could get more similar crystals.

Retaliate!

Jason looked at the effect of [Thorns] again.

He couldn't help narrowing his eyes.

The appearance of [Thorns] completely made up for his other shortcoming.

He doesn't care about what he can't break.

For those who can break the defense, they have to suffer the counter-injury of [Thorns].

Simply put, he not only became thick and hard, but also thorny!

Anyone who throws a punch at him will suffer the bloody end of being 'stabbed'.

Although this 'thorn' is not sharp enough!

But enough!

Enough to give him more opportunities!

Of course, such a harvest is accompanied by a substantial reduction in satiety.

Seeing only 65 points of fullness left, Jason became restless.

Without 100 lives, how can he be reassured?

Just when Jason was thinking about how to supplement his satiety, the phone in his study rang——

Jingle Bell.
