"Not used to eating steamed buns?"
Lin Xun felt displeased at Xie Tengfei's question and reached out to move the bun back to the Small House.
However, he was stopped by Lu Ming.
"One silver tael for a bun? That's quite cheap!"
With that, Lu Ming took out a silver tael from his pocket and bought one.
After eating the bun, Lu Ming opened his right hand, checking his hunger level in a place where no one could see.
[Identity: Poison Doctor
Age: 28
Hunger Value: 69%—70% (You are a bit hungry)
Stamina Value: 70% (You are a bit tired)
SAN Value: 80% (You are a bit scared)
Skills: Poison Doctor
Remarks: Medicine can be poison, and poison can be medicine. The Poison Doctor can turn medicine into poison and poison into medicine.]
One silver tael buys one bun.
A single bun can only increase the Hunger Value by 1%.
The Hunger Value requires an additional thirty taels of silver.
Setting aside the issue of money, can anyone really handle eating thirty steamed buns?
Lu Ming's face showed a hint of difficulty.
"Old Xie, each bun only restores 1 point of Hunger Value."
He honestly shared his discovery with Xie Tengfei.
"What!"
Xie Tengfei's face was filled with anxiety and irritation.
"Don't worry, I have something else!"
Lin Xun took out a slice of bread from his Space Backpack.
"This will meet your needs. One slice of bread increases Hunger Value by 30 points and costs one hundred taels."
He wasn't afraid they would try to snatch it away.
As long as it was in his hand, with just a thought, the Bread Slice would return to the Space Backpack.
"Damn, you're robbing us!"
Hui Shou Tao looked at the small round Bread Slice in Lin Xun's hand, his face full of indignation.
"At a time like this, Human Players should unite and tackle the Game together. How can you take advantage of the situation!"
Lin Xun looked at Hui Shou Tao with disdain. "You're absolutely right! As long as you go to the shop and buy some food to share with your teammates, this problem will be perfectly solved! You won't need to be robbed by me, this crooked merchant. Don't you think?"
Hui Shou Tao's face flushed with embarrassment, unsure of how to respond.
It's easy to speak of generosity when it comes to others, but when it comes time to act, he hesitated.
"Alright, does anyone want to buy my bread?" Lin Xun called out.
Xie Tengfei whispered a few words beside Hui Shou Tao.
Hui Shou Tao nodded, a cunning expression suddenly appearing on his face.
As Lin Xun looked on in confusion, the Bread Slice in his hand suddenly vanished!
Hui Shou Tao, like a victor, waved the Bread Slice in front of Lin Xun.
His profession was that of a thief, skilled in the art of relocation, able to move objects within five meters at will.
The bread in his hand looked golden and crispy, tempting him like a naked woman.
And Hui Shou Tao was someone who could hardly resist temptation!
He placed the Bread Slice in his mouth and took a big bite!
In the next moment, several bloodied teeth shot out from Hui Shou Tao's mouth.
One even splattered into the nostril of Xie Tengfei, who was closest to him.
"What the hell! What just happened?" Hui Shou Tao cried out, covering his bloody mouth.
The Bread Slice fell to the ground and, upon touching the Azure Stone Slate beneath his feet, emitted a sound as crisp as breaking rock.
"Who told you to steal using skills?"
Lin Xun picked up the Bread Slice from the ground, shook off the bloodstains, and stuffed it into Lu Ming's mouth.
The action was so quick that Lu Ming didn't have time to react.
By the time he did, he found the taste in his mouth to be salty and soft, bursting with the aroma of wheat, mixed with a hint of fishy saltiness.
As he swallowed the Bread Slice, he felt a surge of strength fill his entire body.
"The bread isn't free; remember to pay me later."
Lin Xun said to Lu Ming.
"How could this be..." Xie Tengfei murmured to himself.
A piece of bread that was as hard as marble in Hui Shou Tao's hands turned into something fragrant and crispy in Lu Ming's mouth.
"Because I used a skill. As for what skill it is, I can't tell you!"
Lin Xun made a shushing gesture.
"So, what do you think? Want to buy one?" Lin Xun opened his right hand, and another Bread Slice suddenly appeared in it.
...
Soon, night fell again.
Lin Xun took out Xiao Yu's wooden token and returned to Xiao Yu's room.
In this game, the Hunger Value relied on the Ghost Chef, while resting was done in the "dormitory" arranged by Ghost Madam for everyone.
After the incident with the Cowherd, Lin Xun could roughly deduce a few things.
For instance, as long as he did something that would drive the NPCs in the room to their limits, he could force them to leave.
Once the NPCs left the room, the Recycling Ghost outside would take care of them.
The premise for all this was to be bold, meticulous, and lucky.
Of course, there was a second method—similar to what Huang Shang did—where one could enter the room and faint immediately. Upon waking up, not only would nothing have happened, but they would also regain their Stamina Value. However, this method relied on the NPCs not giving the player any quests.
If an NPC suddenly issued a Side Quest while the player was still unconscious, it was highly likely that the player would remain in that state forever!
“Xiao Yu…” Lin Xun stepped into the dimly lit room.
He softly called out Xiao Yu’s name.
In the shadowy room, the White-Clad Woman stood with her back to Lin Xun.
“Drip…”
Something splashed onto the ground, making a crisp sound.
“Drip…”
An object fell to the floor.
Lin Xun slowly approached Xiao Yu.
Suddenly, Xiao Yu turned around.
In the pitch-black room, a faint light illuminated Xiao Yu's starkly contrasting face.
Her dark, hollow eyes were intently fixed on Lin Xun.
From within those deep-set eyes, a plump, white maggot emerged, dripping with blood.
With a soft "plop," it fell to the ground.
Lin Xun glanced down and was horrified to find that his feet were surrounded by a mass of wriggling white maggots, some as thick as his fingers!
What the hell!
I have a phobia of this!
Lin Xun quickly lifted his feet, pulling them out of the writhing mass.
In that instant, he noticed two pitch-black eyeballs neatly placed on the tops of his shoes.
He stared at those eyeballs, and they seemed to be staring back at him...
Damn!
Disgusting!
Suppressing his nausea, Lin Xun pried the eyeballs off his shoes and stuffed them back into Xiao Yu's eye sockets.
In the next moment, the room fell silent.
The floor covered in maggots vanished, and Xiao Yu simply smiled gently at Lin Xun.
"Gentleman Lin, you’re back..."
Lin Xun wiped the sweat from his face and glanced at Xiao Yu.
"Don't do this next time."
Xiao Yu grinned, "What? Are you scared?"
Lin Xun walked over to Xiao Yu's bed and lay down.
The bed smelled fragrant, clearly infused with some kind of scent, and it was soft, looking very comfortable to sleep on.
Lin Xun pulled the blanket over himself and said to Xiao Yu, "It's not that I'm scared; it's just that I have athlete's foot. You know how that can spread to shoes. If you end up seeing a podiatrist for athlete's foot, that wouldn't be good..."
Xiao Yu remained silent.
【Who wouldn't say the player is impressive?】
【No wonder he's a man who can push the System to its limits; I admire him!】
【I wonder what’s going on in Xiao Yu's mind...】
【If he catches athlete's foot, does that count as a work injury?】
【Damn it, I’m feeling suffocated just thinking about being in Xiao Yu's shoes...】
【Please don’t let me encounter a player like this; I’d rather take my own life!】
【Isn’t this a triple combo? Isn’t this a 666 moment?】
Since the popularity of the Live Broadcast increased, Lin Xun had been receiving more and more gifts.
"Want to lie down for a bit?" Lin Xun patted the bed, making room for Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu smiled broadly, "Aren't you afraid I might kill you while you sleep?"
Lin Xun replied, "How could I be? If I could kill you, I would have done it already!"
"You don't fear that while you're sleeping, I might assign you a task?"
Lin Xun closed his eyes and murmured, "You NPCs can only give players one Side Quest. Otherwise, you would have crushed me with a Side Quest by now."
Xiao Yu fell silent, seemingly conceding.
"Look, I've accepted your Side Quest. Until the task is completed, you can't mess with me; I won't do anything that conflicts with my identity; and since you can't assign me any tasks either, there's really nothing you can do right now. You might as well get some good sleep."
"You!"
Xiao Yu was so furious that he nearly spat out blood.
Lin Xun! Just wait!
In two days, when you can't gather a thousand taels of silver and fail the quest, just see how I'll deal with you!
