Beautiful image included.
Dai Mubai shot the bearded man behind the cart an annoyed glare, then said in a teasing yet commanding tone, "Little Ao, make a fresh sausage and show them."
The smile on Oscar's face instantly froze, and a flash of panic and helplessness passed through his peach-blossom eyes.
Under Dai Mubai's intimidating stare, he could only pull a long face and reluctantly extend his right hand.
The next moment, that soft, somewhat sleazy voice rang out again, but this time, its contents were like thunder erupting from clear skies.
Oscar recited his sleazy soul chant—the kind that would be censored in an audit!
Bzzzz—!
The instant Oscar's distinctive voice clearly entered Tang San's ears!
Tang San felt as though he had been struck by an invisible bolt of heavenly lightning!
His body abruptly stiffened, as if even his blood had frozen solid!
His originally calm and gentle face became extraordinarily expressive at a visible pace—
First came confusion, then astonishment, followed by incredulous shock, before finally freezing into an expression of intense disgust, overwhelming embarrassment, and utter absurdity!
He was still holding the copper soul coins he had meant to pay with, while his other hand had nearly reached out to take the freshly made, steaming sausage!
Th-this soul chant's suggestiveness was way too outrageous, wasn't it?!
It was simply blatant, unbearable sleaziness!
That soul chant alone was enough to make anyone with even a shred of shame recoil in disgust, their stomach churning violently!
Tang San was still reeling from the mental blow, his stomach spasming in waves.
Just then, a familiar mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind:
[ Ding! Godhood System mission issued! ]
[ Mission: Eat Oscar's first soul skill 10 times without biting it off ]
[ Mission reward: First soul ring's age increased by 20 years ]
[ Mission failure: No penalty ]
[ Time limit: 5 minutes ]
Tang San's pupils abruptly contracted, and he nearly choked on his own saliva.
Increase a soul ring's age?! Such a reward was simply unheard of!
Though the mission itself was still bizarre, this was a genuine increase in strength!
Another system mission!
A storm raged in Tang San's heart.
It can directly increase a soul ring's age! Even if the missions are all so... special, at least they're simple and straightforward! I'm doing it!
He took a deep breath. Under Dai Mubai's stunned gaze, he suddenly grabbed Oscar's wrist. "I'll buy your sausages!"
Dai Mubai's evil eyes widened instantly, his face plainly saying, "Is something wrong with this guy's brain?"
He had looked utterly disgusted just moments ago, so why had he suddenly...
Oscar froze for a moment, then delight burst from his peach-blossom eyes. "Brother, you know good stuff!"
He clasped Tang San's hand in return, his face full of the emotion of having found a kindred spirit.
The commotion immediately drew even more onlookers.
At some point, Ning Rongrong had also come over, blinking her large eyes curiously.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty students had gathered around the sausage stall, all staring at Tang San with strange looks.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Tang San's forehead. Seeing Xiao Wu still waiting in line some distance away from the corner of his eye, he felt slightly relieved.
He gritted his teeth and accepted the steaming sausage in full view of everyone.
I'm doing this! Tang San roared inwardly as he stuffed the sausage into his mouth like a man marching to his death.
"Mm!"
With the first bite, a rich meaty aroma burst across his mouth.
It had to be said, it truly was delicious, but Tang San had no time to savor it right now.
The onlookers let out repeated cries of surprise.
Ning Rongrong covered her little mouth, her cheeks faintly red;
Dai Mubai's expression had changed from shock to "this man is beyond saving";
Zhu Zhuqing, meanwhile, took two disgusted steps back.
"Two times... three times..."
As the count rose, Tang San's face turned bright red.
He could clearly feel the scorching stares of the people around him,
and several onlooking students had already begun letting out suppressed squeals.
Oscar himself was utterly dumbfounded, gripping the handle of his cart so tightly that it was nearly cracking.
"Eight times... nine times..."
Tang San's fingers dug deeply into his palms.
This was absolutely the most humiliating moment of his two lifetimes—without question.
When the final one was completed, the system notification sounded like heavenly music:
[ Ding! Mission complete! First soul ring age +20 years ]
[ Notice: Your first soul ring's age has increased from 400 years to 420 years! ]
Feeling as though he had been pardoned, Tang San turned to flee the scene, only to run straight into the Xiao Wu who had hurried over after hearing the news.
"Little San, what are you doing?" Xiao Wu tilted her head and asked innocently.
Tang San's vision went dark, and he nearly fainted on the spot.
At the back of the crowd, Lin Jiang had already collapsed with laughter, tears and snot smeared all over his face.
At the very moment Tang San was driven into a desperate corner by Xiao Wu's innocent question, so humiliated and furious that he wished he could dig a hole and crawl into it—
Deep in Lin Jiang's mind, the cold yet wonderful system notification sounded right on cue like heavenly music:
[ Ding! Subsystem bearer (Tang San) detected successfully completing the mission: Eat 10 times (without biting it off)! ]
[ Mission reward feedback settlement in progress ]
[ Congratulations, primary controller Lin Jiang, for receiving feedback reward: First and second soul ring ages increased by 2,000 years! ]
[ Notice: Your first soul ring's age has increased from 220 years to 2,220 years! ]
[ Notice: Your second soul ring's age has increased from 580 years to 2,580 years! ]
"Holy shit! Tang San went up by twenty years, while both of my soul rings went up by two thousand years?!!"
This was insane! At this early stage, everyone's first two soul rings were yellow soul rings, and even the theoretical upper limit for a third soul ring was only 1,760 years!
With two two-thousand-year soul rings, I could walk all over everyone!
Even Dai Mubai probably wouldn't be able to withstand the soul skills of my two-thousand-year soul rings now, right?
An indescribable scorching sensation from the depths of his soul instantly swept through his entire body!
It was as though a vast, pure ancient energy had ignored the barriers of space and time, pouring directly into his body and precisely infusing itself into his first and second soul rings!
"They directly leaped from hundred-year soul rings to the thousand-year level!"
Lin Jiang could clearly feel that the power, toughness, and control range of his first soul skill, Azure Vine Entanglement, had all undergone a tremendous leap due to the massive increase in soul ring age!
Although his first soul skill seemed just as useless as Tang San's first soul skill, Blue Silver Entanglement, things were entirely different now that the soul ring age had increased!
Meanwhile, Oscar looked at Tang San, the corner of his mouth twitching.
He quietly jabbed Dai Mubai beside him hard with his elbow, lowered his voice, and spoke with disbelief and lingering fear in his tone:
"Hey, Boss Dai... that kid... could he possibly... have some issues with his preferences in that regard? Isn't this... just too... too perverted?"
Oscar recalled what he had just seen...
(PS: Who would've thought Oscar's soul chant couldn't even pass review? That just goes to show how sleazy it is... everyone can imagine it yourselves.)
