The Frail Youth

Because the clown's arm was broken and dislocated, the situation crossed the supermarket's security line and was classified as a fight.

Supermarket employees working nearby immediately gathered around, first checking the clown's injuries. After confirming that they were only minor, a certain "rule" began to operate.

For minor injuries, compensation of 100-5000 Corner Coin will be required, with the specific amount depending on the employee's inspection.

If you refuse to pay compensation, you will be blacklisted and will never be able to shop at the supermarket again.

If the victim still refuses to forgive, even if they pay compensation, the assailant will be asked to leave the supermarket and will be prohibited from entering for at least a month.

However, the Blonde Youth knew the rules here and had already thought of a way to deal with it.

He had captured the entire process of the Joker's intentional invasion of Luo Di's body using his special senses, and he only needed to remove a clump of brain cells to verify this.

Unexpectedly, the clown blew on his severed arm, which healed rapidly, and then told the employees that it was purely an accident.

Since the person involved stated that the matter would be dropped, the matter was left as is.

The employees dispersed.

The clown waved goodbye to the two men in front of him and followed his tall companion to the slave quarters not far away, seemingly to purchase "human resources" there.

The Blonde Youth tilted his head to watch the two leaving, especially the clown in overalls, seemingly curious about its abilities.

"Luo Di, your target is a bit troublesome~ The feeling just now was very strange. That guy's body is different from any monster I've ever seen... It felt like a balloon, but what's hidden inside the balloon?"

In a one-on-one fight, I'm not confident of victory. I need to wait until my Plant Maturity before I'm confident I can completely kill this guy.

"What a disgusting thing! I've killed quite a few monsters, but it's rare to see one that I find so repulsive."

"Hmm..." Luo Di touched the Arm Carving hanging on his chest, feeling a little regretful. If Li Beite hadn't intervened, the clown's contact might have backfired on his Grandmother.

"Li Beite, what are you doing here?"

"I come here every month to buy some things. Formless Villa is not far from here, only two hours away, which is very convenient."

"The sorority seems to be quite far from here. Did you come here specifically to buy slaves?"

"I was just browsing around. Now I'm heading to other floors. My companions are waiting for me. They need to buy some equipment, props, and planters to prepare for what's to come."

"What's wrong? Is it about that guy?"

Li Beite has a keen sense of smell and detected something that interests him.

Luo Di didn't hide anything. "Yes, two members of the sorority will be going with me to the clown's amusement park. They've already revealed the location of the amusement park and given us admission tickets."

Considering the Joker is likely not alone, like the big guy who just went shopping with him, it's essential to bring a few more people.

Li Beite immediately became interested. "How about I join you? I promise to only help you deal with guys other than the clown, and make sure your private affairs aren't disturbed... Of course, the main reason is that I can take this opportunity to leave the family. Staying at home every day is just too boring."

Since your father acknowledges your existence, he should agree to my assistance.

After shopping, I'll go back to my family and discuss it with my father. If possible, I'll come to the sorority's association to find you, or we can arrange a meeting place.

"OK."

"Very good!"

A fierce glint flashed in Li Beite's cold eyes, and his skin seemed to tremble slightly, as if something was moving beneath his skin.

Besides helping Luo Di, he seems to have deeper personal desires.

"Luo Di, I still need to buy some necessary 'things' on this floor. Are you going to find your companions first, or wait for me to go with you?"

What are you buying?

Li Beite pointed to his frail body, "I am naturally weak and always in a state of weakness. I need to eat high-quality 'meat' every week just to barely keep my body from decaying."

It's been like this since I was little.

When I was a child, my family would come and buy meat for me.

I've been buying meat myself since last year.

The place where I usually buy meat is not far ahead. The owner usually prepares it in advance, so I just pay and take my meat, it only takes a few minutes at most.

"Your body?"

Luo Di initially thought that Li Beite's thin appearance was a deliberate disguise, but it turned out that he was genuinely weak, probably due to his birth in a remote corner, or perhaps due to his abilities.

"Okay, those two sisters will be shopping for a long time anyway, no rush."

"Come with me. My father gave me a lot of extra money this time because he saw me win the championship. If Mr. Di wants to eat, I can buy more."

"I just ate noodles on the first floor."

"Do humans usually eat noodles? I've never eaten them. I've only eaten meat since I was born, and it has to be expensive meat."

"I eat everything, but I personally prefer noodles."

"I see. I'll try noodles sometime."

[Butcher Shop]

A sign made of dried meat.

The store's specifications are standard.

Many pot-bellied monsters were walking toward this shop, and the customers who came out were carrying black tote bags that seemed to be filled with so-called 'meat'.

Stepping into the shop, Luo Di didn't smell the meaty odor he had expected.

Instead, it has a refreshing minty scent that whets the appetite and invigorates the mind.

The store was also very clean, with no meat-related sales windows visible in the field of vision.

Guests entering the room either register at the front desk or wait in their seats after completing the registration.

Soon, a waiter will come out from the back room carrying a black tote bag and hand it to the corresponding customer. After receiving their belongings, they can leave.

Li Beite, on the other hand, did not need to register at all. As a regular customer, he was greeted by someone as soon as he entered the store.

"Mr. Li Beite, your meat is being prepared in the kitchen! It will be delivered to you in a moment."

"OK."

The incongruous scene piqued Luo Di's curiosity. "What kind of meat is this?"

"The shop owner's flesh... The owner of this shop is a pure Flesh and Blood Monster who can grow more than three tons of flesh every day."

Currently, this is the best option for maintaining the stability of my body: it's cheap, plentiful, and produces a stable output.

If I were to buy high-quality corpses from other monsters, the price would likely be more than ten times higher.

"Monster meat?"

The shop assistant who had just been in charge of greeting customers soon came out carrying three large bags.

Li Beite handed one of the bags to Luo Di, saying, "Take a look and you'll see. You might like it."

Luo Di took the heavy black handbag and peered inside.

What's inside isn't regular flesh and blood at all, but clumps of living flesh that wriggle like a living organism and can grow root-like structures from its surface.

As the handbag was opened, light streamed in.

These chunks of flesh seemed to sense Luo Di's prying eyes, and they clung together, mimicking the same facial structure as Luo Di, even down to the skin texture.

It is highly adaptable.

As Luo Di left the meat's 'sight', he sealed the black bag.

In the darkness, the little creatures all became docile, held in our hands like dead meat, no longer moving.

Li Beite looked over with a smile, "How is it, Luo Di? Doesn't it look delicious?"

This live meat can fit our body to the greatest extent and has an extremely high absorption rate. You only need to place the pieces on your tongue, and they will crawl into your body on their own without chewing.

Want to try? I can give you about two pounds.

"No... no need, I don't like the food."

"Huh? Didn't you just say that humans eat everything? Right, there's still a lot to learn. If I ever get to descend to the human world, Luo Di, you'll have to take good care of me."

"Okay."

Li Beite hung a bag of meat around her neck, eating as she walked, a satisfied look on her face. Her weak body seemed to have truly been replenished, and her walking speed had increased considerably.

Looking at the other person's appearance, which seemed to rely on meat, Luo Di couldn't help but ask, "If you're coming with me to the Clown Amusement Park, will you need to prepare even more meat like this?"

"No need, this is what we eat every day."

I will have emergency food supplies if I need to go out and face dangerous situations, so you don't need to worry about that.

"Um."

The two entered the elevator and went to the floor inside the supermarket where weapons were sold.

Wu Wen and Hua Yuan were strolling around on this floor.

The two seemed to have completely put aside their differences and began to discuss and select various Corner Weapon, but after trying many, they felt that none of them were quite right.

Just then, Luo Di was coming over, so I thought I'd ask him for help in making a decision.

However, when Luo Di arrived, the two sisters immediately became wary and stared at the Blonde Youth following behind Luo Di.

A strong sense of hostility permeated the air.

Wu Wen even glanced at Luo Di, giving him a strange and disdainful look.
