Gluttony Table Knife, God-Chosen!
Mad King Building.
It was only late at night, and most areas were still dark, except for a few places where lights were on.
After leaving the Arena, Xu Lang was genuinely filled with emotion.
He walked all the way from the Mad King Building.
Even during rest periods, there were hardly any lights on in the past.
Now, with many more iconic landmarks, the area appears more vibrant, almost like dusk is just beginning to fall.
"What's wrong with Lang Ge? Did he suffer a loss in the Arena?"
Arena, the players watched Xu Lang, whispering among themselves.
Xu Lang was practically carried away by Cao Yaxuan and the others. The group seemed to have encountered some great calamity in the Arena.
Immediately afterwards, Aygul, Wu Huihui, and the others also left the Arena, attracting a crowd of players who immediately surrounded them.
They can't afford to watch the gladiatorial combat, but just hearing the sounds is good enough.
"Uncle Xu Lang, Yaxuan, Yazhi, Tong Qi... Auntie!"
They hadn't walked far when Luo Lin arrived carrying the child. Tao Tao called out a few times, then stopped, as there were too many nannies.
"It's Tao Tao," Xu Lang said with a smile.
"I heard you went to the Arena, so Tao Tao and I came to check on you." Luo Lin put Tao Tao down and flicked a strand of her hair.
She didn't like going to crowded places, so she waited on the outskirts, feeling just as worried.
"It's nothing serious. That Arena is very dangerous; neither you nor Tao Tao should go," Xu Lang said. "It's getting late; go back to sleep."
"Okay." Luo Lin nodded.
As they walked together, Wang Yazhi quietly approached Luo Lin and asked, "Sister Lin, is Tao Tao special? Why do you take her everywhere you go?"
Tao Tao was very sleepy and was currently being held by Tong Qi, where she had already fallen asleep.
Luo Lin remained calm. "No, what's wrong?"
Wang Yazhi glanced at Luo Lin a couple more times, but said nothing.
Xu Lang then turned his gaze to Luo Lin, Nightmare Eye began to exert its power.
"The Demigod serum is about to be successfully developed... Because they want to keep some trump cards up their sleeves, they don't plan to tell us yet, hehe... That's not quite right of them."
Xu Lang chuckled to himself.
Luo Lin and her mother have had a complicated past, so it's impossible for them to completely trust anyone; they're not in a landlord-tenant relationship.
This is correct from Luo Lin's perspective.
Xu Lang also thought she wasn't wrong, just not quite right.
There's no need to pressure them now. We can just wait until the Demigod serum is developed and then have a showdown. I'm sure Luo Lin won't refuse!
They actually evaded taxes behind my back, huh...
Back in their dormitory, Xu Lang and the others parted ways with Luo Lin and her daughter.
"Xu Lang, you're not allowed to go to the Arena anymore, understand?" Cao Yaxuan said sternly as soon as she got home.
"You're even ordering me around now," Xu Lang chuckled, pinching Cao Yaxuan's pretty chin.
"Then I beg you..." Cao Yaxuan licked her lips with her cool tongue, her face full of pleading.
"In Dormitory Survival Game, whether you're playing games or exploring new areas, there's danger everywhere. Sometimes, not taking risks is the biggest risk." Xu Lang said, releasing his grip and glancing at the girls. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I won't do anything that's truly suicidal."
The women reacted differently upon hearing this.
Wang Yazhi's eyes flashed, and she sent a private message.
[Wang Yazhi: Xu Lang, do you have a way to spy on the players in other Dormitory Building?]
After much thought, Wang Yazhi could only come up with this one possibility; otherwise, Xu Lang's unusual behavior would be inexplicable.
A hint of surprise flashed through Xu Lang's mind. He then used his Nightmare Eye to investigate further and discovered that there were indeed quite a few intelligent people in the family.
Tong Qi, Shirley, Han Jisoo, Xu Ruyan, Xu Xiaomeng all surprisingly had this guess.
They've spent so much time with themselves, they know their own personalities all too well.
However, even if he guessed it, Xu Lang would never admit it. Leaving any trace of it would increase the risk of exposure.
Seeing that Xu Lang didn't answer, Wang Yazhi already knew the answer in her heart. Her worried heart was completely relieved, and she smiled, "Alright, everyone, stop teasing Xu Lang. After watching the battle for so long, everyone is hungry. Let's have some midnight snacks."
"Okay!" Tong Qi was the first to respond, then added, "Should we Aygul and the others over?"
"Goodbye, our stay is limited, we need to sleep later." Xu Lang shook his head. "But we can invite Ghost Child and the others in, it'll be lively."
Cao Yaxuan's face darkened.
The length of stay has already been factored in; is it really necessary to be so strict about timing?
Dishes were laid out on a large rectangular dining table. Xu Lang sat in the main seat, flanked by Cao Yaxuan and other women.
There was a small dining table next to it, with some snacks that the Guardian Spirit could eat. The Ghost Child, the Guanjiangkou Boy, the Lion Cub, and the Death God's Egg were eating happily.
The Soul Shepherd Wolf and the Evil Fuzzball were also beside the four little ones.
The Lion Cub looked at the Evil Fuzzball with a strange sense of affection, and would occasionally bring it a small treat.
But the Evil Fuzzball accepts all comers.
The Guanjiangkou Boy also loves Evil Fuzzball.
The Ghost Child, however, prefers his old friend Soul Shepherd Wolf.
The Death God's Egg sensed that if it didn't unite, it might be isolated. It followed the Ghost Child's every move, acting like a little follower.
There are also grudges and rivalries between Guardian Spirit and Ghost Pet, as well as their own little society. Ghost Child now dislikes Guanjiangkou Boy, feeling that he is close to Lion Cub and is no longer his good friend.
After eating and drinking their fill, Xu Lang took out Song Fei's Loser Gift Bag and handed it to Tong Qi and Red Butterfly.
After the two women joined together, they opened the gift bag, inside which was a Western-style dinner knife.
[Gluttony Table Knife]
[Genre: Strange Tale Oddity]
[Rank: EX]
[Rarity: EX]
[Effect 1 (Spatial Slash): Draws upon the user's own blood energy to unleash a spatial slash. Cooldown: 10 seconds]
[Effect 2 (Gluttony 1/7): Collect all seven pieces of the Gluttony set to become one of the millions of God-Chosen of the Gluttony Demon God]
[Effect 3 (Gluttony Strange Tale): Enter the Strange Tale World, capture the Strange Tale "Ghost of Gluttony" and find the remaining Gluttony parts]
[Introduction: The once proud God-Chosen was crafted into seven artifacts, each containing one-seventh of His power. Once all seven are collected, the demons within will acknowledge Him as their master.]
"Hmm, so none of these Strange Tale Oddity can be decomposed?" Cao Yaxuan discovered the blind spot.
"I think so." Xu Lang then took out the Magic Flute and showed it to everyone.
Similarly, it cannot be obtained by decomposition.
These Strange Tale Oddity are somewhat similar to Sequence; they can be sealed and altered, but they cannot be completely eliminated.
Xu Lang used Nightmare Eye to examine the Gluttony Table Knife and obtained the following information.
[Nightmare Eye - Gluttony Table Knife: Collect all seven items, Ghost of Gluttony will kill its master and retaliate, completely breaking free from the shackles of the tools]
Um!
It's true that I acknowledge you as my master, but that doesn't stop me from killing you!
"What is the Gluttony Demon God...? Judging from this description, the Ghost of Gluttony seems to have been some kind of God-Chosen of the Gluttony Demon God, and was later turned into seven items." Cao Yaxuan said, reaching for the Gluttony Table Knife in Tong Qi's hand.
However, Tong Qi avoided the question altogether.
Her eyes were a little red, and she swallowed hard. "This action has side effects. I really want to eat now. It feels like there's a black hole in my stomach."
"Then hurry up and put it away!" Zhen Lu said hastily.
Tong Qi's teeth chattered. "Maybe I should listen to him..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Lang snatched the knife from his hand.
The Gluttony Table Knife is a supernatural Strange Tale by Song Fei, too high a level for Tong Qi and her friends to comprehend.
Xu Lang held the Gluttony Table Knife in his hand, his mind immediately affected, and he quickly put it into his backpack.
I'm going to be busy tonight.
He doesn't have many Strange Tale Oddity, and he needs to figure out the rules for Fusion carefully, otherwise it would be a waste, as these are all excellent Fusion materials.
