Chapter 244: Holy Grail of Desire



The female shopkeeper has only three types of actions: "Skill", "Defense", and "Attack".

There was nothing in the "Skills" section, so Ren Suo clicked on the attack to give it a try.

The man's health is -15.

The man used "Ice Wind Scraping Bones", and the female shop owner's health dropped to -175, and she died.

The screen returned to the world map. Ren Suo blinked, still not realizing what was going on in this game.

Obviously, this game does not encourage players to fight, but hopes that players can satisfy the needs of "customers" through the step of "seasoning", so that they can avoid fighting and achieve their goals.

But how to season it was a problem. Ren Suo had no idea what kind of "flavor" the man wanted. After thinking it over, Ren Suo reopened the city list and continued to sort by "hidden concentration".

But last time it was sorted from high to low, this time it is sorted from low to high.

Ren Suo randomly chose a village in Xuan Country, a place where the "Hide Concentration" level was only one drop of blood, and started to sneak around.

The scene instantly changed to a rural night with terraced fields everywhere. The moon in the night sky was obscured by dark clouds, and there were not even street lights on the village road. The female shop owner walked in the moonlight and parked the food cart on the side of the road. After opening the stall, she took out a tablet to watch videos.

Watch video?

Ren Suo adjusted his viewing angle and focused on the video. After watching for a moment, he immediately recognized it - the TV series "Over My Dead Body"!

Ren Suo could also zoom in on the screen, and from the corner of his eye he could see the white neck and rosy cheeks of the female owner, and discovered that she was watching the first episode, the story of the three brothers of the Ren family.

It’s quite good. Although it’s my second watch, Ren Suo was addicted to it unknowingly - Ren Neiser’s production and editing skills are really amazing.

After watching three full episodes, the female owner finally paused the video. Only then did Ren Suo hear the sound of footsteps coming from outside.

“Ouch. Ouch.”

A child climbed onto a chair, his face was dirty and there seemed to be traces of snot. He smiled broadly at the female owner, and his front teeth, which had not yet grown, had large cavities, which made him look particularly funny.

The female owner tapped the sign on the left side of the food stall: "What do you want to eat? Just tell me your story from childhood to adulthood. It's free."

"Red eggs!" the child said immediately, "Hot red eggs! Three!"

The female shop owner was still boiling water, while the child bit his fingernails and told his story: "My name is Jiazhu! My grandmother said that she hoped I could become the pillar of the family! I'm in elementary school now!"

Then the child shook his head and said, "There's nothing much to say. Aren't the eggs ready yet?"

The female shop owner: "Not yet. I'm sure you have something else to say, like why you are hungry?"

"Because I'm hungry." The child said gloomily, "My parents haven't been home for a long time..."

"I usually live with my grandma. The food she cooks is not tasty, and she doesn't have money to buy me snacks..."

"I am particularly craving for red eggs. Two years ago, my parents came back to celebrate my birthday and cooked me a red egg. It was delicious."

"I haven't eaten red eggs for a long time, so I'm very hungry..." the child said, "and other classmates have money to buy snacks. It was Xiaoqiang's birthday, and his parents bought him a cake. He brought it to class and only gave it to Xiaomin and the others..."

"I'm not envious, I don't like cake, I like red eggs!"

"But after being hungry for a long time, I will also want to eat other things... cake is also okay..."

The child's voice became hoarse and piercing, and the front teeth that had not grown in his mouth suddenly grew into sharp fangs that were as long as a finger. The nails he was biting also became red, thin, and sharp. The whites of his eyes turned blood red, and his mouth made a symphony of sounds:

"But Xiaoqiang won't share the cake with me, so can I take it myself? I don't mind if he eats it, I will clean it up when I take it out of his belly... I will piece together a complete cake..."

The female owner's expression remained unchanged. She had already cooked the red eggs and was now entering the seasoning stage.

The taste that this child needs is very obvious. Ren Suo first chose "father's love" and "mother's love", and then added a little "friendship". He filled up the first two directly, and added "friendship" to one-fifth.

So the female owner took out two seasoning bottles containing orange-yellow crystals and bright yellow crystals, opened the lids directly and poured them into the bowl containing red eggs as if they were free, and then scooped a spoonful of sky blue crystals into it.

"Your red eggs."

Regardless of the heat, the child simply peeled off the tender white egg with his sharp fingernails and stuffed a big egg directly into his mouth, chewing it with a humming sound.

He ate three in one go and burped, "They are delicious. They taste like what mom and dad cooked. They also have a little bit of cake flavor... Thank you, sister!"

The child's sharp teeth and claws and bloodshot eyes instantly faded, and he turned back into a dirty kid.

He bowed deeply to the female shop owner, who sat down and said, "You're welcome."

The child dug around in his pants for a long time and finally pulled out a white candy: "Sister, grandma gave it to me. I couldn't bear to eat it, so I gave it to you."

Ren Suo thought the female shop owner would refuse, but she took it directly and said, "Okay."

After saying that, the child jumped off the high chair and walked away in small steps. At this time, the female owner looked at the candy, and the candy showed a message:

"Lonely Toffee: After taking it, the shop owner's health +15, attack power +7, and the error tolerance of the egg-based food produced is increased."

"So the protagonist can become stronger by treating others to a meal... No wonder his initial health is only 50."

Then Ren Suo continued to watch "Over My Dead Body" with the female owner. After watching three or four episodes, the sky was filled with a faint blue morning light. The female owner stretched and began to pack up the things at the food stall.

After setting up the place for a whole night, there was only one 'customer'! ?

The game screen returned to the world map interface, and the "Remaining Days" in the upper left corner changed to 9, indicating that Ren Suo had completed one-tenth of the game journey.

At this moment, the golden cup of the "Desire Collection Number" icon suddenly grew larger, and two drops of blood-red slurry fell from the top of the screen into the golden cup, shaking slightly.

"Desire collection number: 9".

The game pops up a prompt: "Please collect 10,000 desires within ten days."

You need to play for a day before the conditions for completing the game appear. Of course, there is an implicit condition here: the store owner cannot walk around and be eaten by a "customer".

However, when Ren Suo looked at the golden cup of "Desire Collection Number", it always reminded him of... the Holy Grail in "The Magician Under the World Tree".

It was almost dawn at this time. Ren Suo thought for a moment and decided to open a new save file.

He already basically understood how to play the game.

Try to understand the needs of the "customers" and provide the corresponding seasoning. If you fail, you have to fight. Although there is no requirement for players to go to a certain city, it is basically impossible to collect 10,000 desires in 10 days without going to those big cities with high "hidden concentration".

In this way, Ren Suo cannot waste any single day.

It is certainly easier to start from small places, and the desires and needs of small places can also be easily understood, such as the needs of the left-behind children just now.

The two 'customers' that Ren Suo had met so far looked like awakened ones whose minds were polluted by spiritual energy, just like the 'demon' that Ren Suo had beaten up once in the subway.

But compared to the 'devils', they still have some rationality left, and will hold back their violent desires for the sake of other things, but their bodies have begun to mutate, but when they don't show it, ordinary people can't see it at all.

Whether it was the clown man or the left-behind child, Ren Suo knew from their words that they no longer felt sympathy for the other party just because they were human beings, and it was not surprising for them to explode at any time.

Ren Suo himself was a little scared - although he could tell who was the awakened one, he couldn't tell who was the one who was about to go crazy!

Continue to choose Hong Kong City to start. However, when Ren Suo watched the female store owner pushing the food stall cart through the park path and passed by the homeless man sleeping on a park bench nearby, he suddenly had an idea:

If this game is uploaded and the video is broadcast, what will happen to this world...?
