Norton nodded and motioned Liang Ke to speak.
"I've already diagnosed them. They're just suffering from malnutrition!"
"It's just that I find it strange, Your Majesty... considering, uh... the strength of these two generals, they shouldn't be so poorly served in the horror world that they can't find food, right? Why are they malnourished?"
This strange thing couldn't help but make Liang Ke suspicious.
Not to mention the two red-clothed evil ghosts, just take the first ghost girl with a slit mouth that he encountered when he entered the horror world.
She was just a little devil! She wasn't even malnourished.
Why are these two red-clothed devil-level dogs...
Liang Ke did not speak any more and waited patiently for Norton's answer.
"Food? No! Your Excellency!"
"I won't allow this to happen!"
"We are all the same! We are all human! How can humans eat their own kind?"
"The two loyal generals have always adhered to this principle..."
Norton's righteous voice made Liang Ke stunned.
"I'm not talking about the same kind, um..." Liang Ke frowned. Of course he believed in the system's judgment.
The Norton in front of me must be a ghost, but why does he pretend to be a human being?
"Sir, do you find it strange? I'm a ghost too, so why would I call myself a human?"
Norton seemed to understand Liang Ke's thoughts.
But before Liang Ke could say anything, Norton took over the conversation.
"I know! Although I have become a ghost now, I was once a human! Therefore, my identity will never allow me to do such a thing..."
"But... the convenience stores here seem to have ordinary food, right? Can't we eat ordinary food?" Liang Ke asked doubtfully.
"Ordinary food... Of course, but this is only temporary..."
…
As Norton explained step by step, Liang Ke finally understood the important reason why ghosts in the horror world eat people.
One reason is to feel full, and the other is for promotion!
Ordinary food cannot bring any experience to ghosts. In the horror world, if you don’t have strength, you may become a feast for higher-level ghosts.
After all, high-level ghosts also need experience and promotion. Although the situation of "ghosts eating ghosts" has become much less common, this phenomenon still exists.
The horror world is the same as the human world, in the end, it is fists that have to prevail.
Therefore, players who enter the horror world are naturally at the bottom of the food chain.
Whether it is to satisfy your hunger or to improve your strength.
The ghosts in the horror world are naturally on the opposite side of the players.
Moreover, ordinary food seems particularly useless in the horror world. Although it can provide a sense of fullness, the desire for human flesh still dominates the rationality of most ghosts.
In other words, it is as normal for ghosts to eat humans as it is for humans to eat.
The existence of people like Norton and two generals is abnormal.
Ordinary food in the horror world is like grass roots and tree bark in the human world...
Moreover, ordinary food is extremely expensive in the horror world, often costing several fear coins.
The little bit of satiety gained from eating ordinary food is not even as direct as swallowing the fear coins, not to mention that the fear coins can also increase the ghost's experience points...
So no matter from which perspective, the existence of ordinary food in the horror world is more to give those poor human players a little comfort under the influence of rules.
"So, what you're saying is that you don't want to eat your own kind, and that's why you're malnourished."
"And because of malnutrition, you are unable to produce fear coins by condensing ghost energy."
"Without fear coins, you can't afford to buy regular food, and it becomes a vicious cycle."
"Furthermore, due to long-term malnutrition, your strength has directly deteriorated."
"I understand it this way. Is it okay?" Liang Ke frowned and expressed his guess.
Norton on the side nodded repeatedly, and his reaction made Liang Ke fall into deep thought.
Although he had just entered the world of horror, he didn't feel a sense of belonging here.
But the natural conflict between ghosts and humans is indeed a big problem.
In order to ensure the sustainability of exhausting the resources, the two camps cannot continue like this!
A safe business environment is very necessary for me...
Never mind! It’s a headache!
Then Liang Ke looked at Norton speechlessly.
This person is not here to see me for medical treatment, this person is clearly here to beg for money... No! He is here to beg for money!
Liang Ke suddenly remembered that they had been waiting in front of the convenience store...
Afterwards, I almost emptied the convenience store...
And then...
Damn it! He really is here to take advantage of me!!!
"Forget it! I already have a treatment plan!"
Liang Ke didn't say anything and directly picked out some normal food from the goods he had just packed from the convenience store and slowly placed it in front of Norton and the two generals.
Then he smiled and spoke.
"This is the prescription I wrote for you. Please take your time..."
Norton looked at the bread and butter in front of him, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.
The two generals almost cried out when they saw the cans of luncheon meat in front of them.
The two generals looked at Norton pleadingly. Without the latter's order, they would never move.
"Sir...you are a good man..." Norton picked up the bread with tears in his eyes and gave the two generals a look.
In an instant, the two generals devoured the food like whirlwind.
As for Nuo Duan, he is very graceful.
He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and tied it around his chest.
Then, he chewed slowly, and every bite was an ultimate enjoyment for him.

Listening to the system prompt sound ringing in his ears, Liang Ke nodded.
As for the reward, Liang Ke did not check it immediately.
Instead, he slowly walked in front of Norton.
"Your Majesty, is it delicious?"
Norton nodded. "Your Excellency's food is very delicious! I think General Bamo and the others have been treated."
"That's good... Then, Your Majesty, we should discuss the medical expenses!"
Liang Ke coughed.
Even if the king of heaven comes today, he cannot delay paying the medical bills.
