kitchen.
Dean threw away a half-eaten cabbage on the stove, grabbed the beef in the plastic box, and put it into his mouth with all his strength.
The steel teeth chewed the meat gently and swallowed it into the intestines and stomach.
Without any pause.
After throwing away the empty bloody plastic box, Dean grabbed the sizzling steak in the frying pan next to him and gnawed it regardless of how rare it was.
The eating frenzy lasted half an hour.
After eating a lot of vegetables and ten pounds of raw beef steak, Dean finally filled the black hole in his stomach, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth stained with oil and blood.
"Hiccup... Fortunately, Stone's menu not only has the same kind of food, but also has a lot of fresh food, otherwise I would have starved to death."
Before and after mimicry, the blood and energy that has passed away will not be restored out of thin air. The loss will eventually be made up, and the only way is to rely on eating.
This gave rise to a terrible gluttonous appetite.
"Bring more high-calorie supplies before battle in the future."
However, mimicry was more strategic than he expected. If he could successfully transform when he was seriously injured and dying, he could extend his life.
…
After taking a short break to digest food, Dean's attention returned to the system——
Withdraw rewards.
Experience +150,
Personal level: lv2(290/300)→lv3(140/400)
Gain 1 attribute point.
The taskbar is expanded to 2.
System ability God's perspective lv1 → lv2: range 10 meters → 20 meters.
…
You killed the nocturnal Westvine. Please choose one of the following four special rewards:
A. Specialties: Beginner Ironman upgrade to Intermediate Ironman:
The beneficial effect of physical attributes on you, including vitality, endurance, physical fitness and injury recovery speed, anti-blow ability, digestion, nutrient absorption, and resistance to physical abnormal conditions, are all increased by 30% → 50%.
In addition, your immunity and lifespan will be slightly increased.
It is difficult for common diseases and bad living habits to invade your body and damage your health. At the same time, you will live longer than ordinary people and the rate of aging will be slightly slower.
…
B. Specialty Junior Ironman mutates into Junior Nightwalker, gaining a moderate improvement:
The physical attribute's effect on you is increased by 30% → 70%.
Your immunity is greatly increased making you immune to common diseases.
At the same time, your lifespan is doubled compared to ordinary people, and the aging rate is greatly slowed down. Your appearance, physical fitness, energy, and mind will remain at the peak of young adulthood, and you will not rapidly age and weaken until the end of your lifespan.
But power is a double-edged sword. With stronger power, you have to pay a corresponding price:
An abnormal appetite will be born in your body. You will regard the flesh and blood of the same kind as delicacies, digest powerful targets, and absorb part of his power.
But flesh and blood of the same kind is not necessary, and you can still survive on just ordinary food.
You will be afraid of the sun. The sun cannot kill you, but it will weaken your physical fitness.
…
C. Super Power - Super Smell (Perception): Your sense of smell against humanoids is greatly enhanced.
You can easily distinguish thousands of different body odors between different individuals, and use the odor to determine their physical health, strength, as well as the people they have killed and the food they have eaten, so as to track the target.
The effect of super smell is directly related to the skill level and your perception attribute.
Each time the skill is upgraded, the perception is slightly improved.
(Note: Your ability bar is full and you cannot select this reward)
D. Increases your perception by 1 point.
…
"Great reward."
Dean clenched his fist and walked around the messy kitchen, his face slightly red with excitement. The suffering of having several holes poked in his body was all worth it.
Ever since he traveled back in time, Ironman's expertise has provided him with a huge boost, allowing him to devote more energy to training, grow rapidly, recover from injuries faster, and face crises more tenaciously.
Its importance is unquestionable.
What's more, this expertise also adds other effects - resisting diseases and increasing life span.
Although Dean is not yet twenty years old, who would object to a long lifespan?
Dean was torn between A and B for a moment.
Compared with A, B has been enhanced in all aspects, is not troubled by diseases, and will remain young forever until death.
But unfortunately, there are two more terrible negative effects.
…
At present, Dean, as a lone ranger, is more inclined to develop in an all-round way. After all, there will be more time in the future, and the opportunity to gain power will not be just once.
If you choose B in a hurry for quick success, you will find two weaknesses for yourself, especially fear of the sun, which will be extremely detrimental to future development.
…
Can't bear to rule out B.
Dean paid a little attention to C.
In his opinion, the greatest use of the super sense of smell is not for tracking, but for its ability to detect the number of humanoid creatures that have killed or eaten the same kind.
This allows Dean to select special individuals from a bunch of normal people: killers, criminals, monsters, or other supernatural individuals...
He will have the first move advantage.
Moreover, the super smell upgrade can also improve perception and has growth potential. Unfortunately, his ability column is 5/5.
Don't know how to improve.
…
As for D, at this stage, the priority of directly adding attributes is after expertise and skills. Unless he adds three or four points at once, Dean will not consider it.
…
Choose A.
Ironman feat upgrade.
Dean thought.
A pleasant heat surged out from somewhere in the body, rushing to the muscles, bones, and the tips of the fingers... covering the whole body.
But the response came quickly and quickly.
Disappeared after a breath, Dean closed his eyes, his body felt as warm as if there was a stove baking nearby.
Others also became comfortable and relaxed, as if they had taken a dip in a magical hot spring, and the hot spring water washed away all the ailments and hidden illnesses in their bodies.
Some minor ailments of the body disappeared forever.
The corners of his mouth curved.
There is a faint joy in the heart that the essence of life is expanding and the level of life is rising.
Lifespan and immunity were slightly enhanced, and Dean's skin became smoother, more delicate and shiny.
He touched his face.
"If nothing happens now, I will have no problem living to be a hundred years old, but I don't know if I can live to 2077?"
…
The sun began to fall to the west, the sunlight outside the window became less dazzling, and the time quietly came to four o'clock in the afternoon.
After sorting out the harvest, Dean returned to the bedroom.
The Stone family was worried that their evil deeds would be exposed, so there was no one else in the old house except them, which was an advantage for Dean.
…
Dean dug out a black suit in the closet and changed out of the clothes that were bloody and full of holes.
Then he picked up the altar board among the ashes, sat on the torn apart bed and felt the soul of the deceased he had just absorbed.
"Kristen, Perron, Hudson, Layton, Shannon...huh?"
"Where does the soul of the nocturnal species go?"
There are only five souls from the Stone family in the board, which does not reach the board's upper limit of ten souls. Logically speaking, it should be able to accommodate Westen.
but no.
Dean couldn't figure it out.
Prior to this, the Ban was able to absorb even the souls of the Death Eaters, so why did it lose its effect on the souls of the Nocturnal Species?
A cold wind suddenly blew in outside the window.
Vaguely, the wind carried Westen's last words before his death——
"Midian is a paradise for monsters,"
"The resting place of my soul."
…
"Did the spirit of the Gorgon return to Midian?"
Dean had this magical idea in his mind, and his eyes passed by the sides of the tunnel, the densely packed tombstones on the murals, and the intricate underground kingdom hidden under the cemetery.
What kind of place is Midian, the monster paradise?
Apart from this snake-haired monster that is afraid of the sun and eats people without blinking an eye, what kind of humanoid monsters live somewhere?
According to Taim, the more supernatural beings gather together, the more dangerous they become.
But wouldn’t Midian cause a terrible supernatural disaster because of the law of convergence?
Countless doubts came to mind.
Dean had an extremely strong desire to explore. He took the slate and changed to a dark room, summoning the souls of the five hunters of the Stone family one by one.
I tortured them all according to the old method and asked for more information about Midian and the nocturnal species.
Unfortunately nothing was found.
He tortured again about the whereabouts of the valuable property in this ancient house, as well as the innocent people they had eaten in the past.
Waving the bamboo board will send five people to death.
"You killed ghosts*5...Proficiency +1*5, fighting level 2 (95→100/300)."
Dean came to a study on the right.
He dug out a key from the hundreds of books on the bookshelf and pulled out the black safe from the filing cabinet on his desk.
Turn three times.
"5,4,1"
Click.
The key is inserted into the lock and turned.
After a crisp click, Dean opened the safe.
Strong golden light shot out, making him dizzy, and his whole face was dyed golden.
"bullion."
He reached out and took out a trapezoidal gold bar and weighed it. It was a standard 3.74 ounces.
In addition to gold bars, the safe was also stuffed with bundles of U.S. dollars and a bunch of photos of some of the victims hunted by the Stone family, with addresses and names written on them.
Dean had to admire the family's audacity to harm so many people and still dare to leave evidence.
…
At last he counted, there were almost 100 gold bars in the safe, and nearly 200,000 US dollars worth of knives in bundles.
Both are worth a combined $400,000.
Although Dean was not a money-hungry person, when faced with the windfall in front of him, he did not hesitate at all and quickly confiscated them all into his black backpack.
But next to the green dollars and dazzling gold, there are several golden invitations, with a pair of red lizards with open wings faintly embossed on the surface, oh no, a red dragon. The cover is inlaid with two hollow English letters DR, like Breathtaking work of art.
Dean opened it and saw that the invitation was empty, with no record.
"An invitation to some event or place? There's no time, no place, or any other description."
Dean looked regretful;
If he had known this, he would not have directly destroyed the five souls. Now he could only collect the invitations and clean up the traces in the house.
…
Late at night, he quietly left the manor and returned with a full load.
Happy Dragon Boat Festival everyone!
