The Bet

Immediately afterwards, the great Silent King Szarekh was forced to witness the Resurrection population of Solemnace, experiencing a life of unbridled indulgence.

These Resurrection members of their tribe have become so unrestrained that it's almost absurd.

I want to try almost every flavor, and I want to taste everything.

"Come on! Today I'll show you how to eat Grox alive!"

"Pshaw! That's nothing. Today I'll show you what it means to eat Ant-Cattle raw!"

"Heh, Nostramo the old saying goes, even without Butcher Zhang, are we still going to eat hairy pigs?"

"Alright then, today I'll be performing a live hair-eating act for you all!"

"Eat hair???"

"Yes, it's about eating hair!"

"I've already tasted the meat and bones, but I haven't tasted the hair yet, so I'll eat raw hair!"

"Listen up, everyone! The old, weak, sick, and disabled, step aside! This is a test of true men!"

Why should you get to eat? I want to eat too!

"Haha! Okay! Let's do it together!"

???

Eating raw hair?

What does "eating raw" mean?

What does "eating hair" mean?

Is it okay to eat hair?

Are they Necrontyr Dynasty?

Do you remember when the Necrontyr were active in the galaxy tens of millions of years ago? The atmosphere of the entire Necrontyr race wasn't this unconventional back then.

What's going on now?

"Silent King, you've seen it yourself; the resurrected Solemnace is becoming a bit too active."

"This... this is a good thing," said the Silent King.

"No, they've gone too far, this is no joke."

Do you know what this Planet is called now?

"New Solemnace?"

"No, it's called Thrill Planet."

Thrill Planet?

The Silent King looked at Imotekh with some uncertainty.

"Yes, the Silent King, literally, Planet for thrill-seekers."

???

"Is this... Necrontyr?"

"Without a doubt, they are genuine Necrontyr. I have witnessed their resurgence firsthand, but they are somewhat overly repressed."

"Tell me about what happened."

Imotekh then recounted Solemnace's recovery process.

Damn Trazyn.

It turns out I learned this habit of overeating and drinking from him.

"Tower..."

Never mind, let's wait until these tribesmen finish celebrating.

However, the Silent King completely underestimated the extent of the repression among these people.

Because they celebrated for a full two months!

The euphoria of the celebrations didn't gradually fade until two and a half months later.

Only then did Szarekh have time to have a proper talk with Trazyn.

"Trazyn, you deserve to die!"

This was the first sentence they spoke.

That was also the last sentence of the conversation.

Three days later, Szarekh and Trazyn emerged.

The Silent King looked refreshed, but Trazyn was not in such good condition.

One side of his face was swollen.

"Silent King, listen to me carefully! The most famous Food Street in all of Nostramo is my property!"

"If you can truly control yourself as you claim after your Resurrection, I, Trazyn, will not eat for a week!"

Wow.

It seems Trazyn was taught a harsh lesson by the Silent King, to be able to wager such a heavy stake.

Do you think I'm a good-for-nothing like you?

"You damned librarian! If it weren't for the fact that you're the only few in the current leadership of the game, I would have exiled you right now!"

"You dare! I was the first Necrons to Resurrection! I brought hope of redemption to the Necrons!"

"It is Mr. Han who brings salvation and hope to the Necrons! It has nothing to do with you, you good-for-nothing!"

"Bullshit! Old Han and I are sworn brothers, you're nobody's business!"

"You!"

"What! You dead bone!"

"Good! Trazyn, you're doing well! Once I'm Resurrection, you'll be fasting for a week!"

"Ha, I've changed my mind! As long as you only give me three meals a day at fixed times and in fixed quantities, I'll go ten days without eating!"

"Heh, I never expected this. Tens of millions of years have passed, and you, a Civil Servant, have become so principled. Very well, I'll take your bet."

"Mr. Han..."

"Silent King, please wait a moment."

"What's wrong, Imotekh?"

"The next batch of Resurrection slots will go to the Sautekh Dynasty, and the batch after that will be given to the Otak Dynasty, where Jia lives. You'll have to wait."

This...

"Indeed, Silent King," Han Mingxuan said.

"Alright, since Mr. Han says so, I'll wait."

After settling the Silent King, Han Mingxuan called Trazyn aside.

"Lao Xin, you gambled a bit too much."

"What, Old Han, are you afraid I'll lose too?"

I'm not afraid of your appetite, I'm afraid you'll get ripped off.

"Scammed?"

"Yes, think about it, a standard Nostramo is only twenty-four hours."

"If the Silent King Resurrection and ate three meals a day, each lasting seven hours, fifty-nine minutes, and fifty-nine seconds, wouldn't you explode?"

Ta-da!

"This... that can't be right. I know the Silent King's character. After all, I'm in charge of the history books of the Necrontyr. The Silent Kings of all time wouldn't be so lacking in martial ethics."

"Why don't you take a look at Jia?"

Jia?

Hmm, yeah.

How could he not have thought of that?

It should be noted that after Jia Resurrection, she took over 80% of the sugar and its products supplied by Nostramo, citing the need for sufficient sugar for scientific research.

It wasn't because scientific research required raw materials; it was simply ingested directly.

Yes, Jia devoured all the candy by herself.

Types include, but are not limited to, candied fruit, soft candy, hard candy, rock sugar, and granulated sugar.

This also includes cakes, cookies, cheese, and yogurt.

Its consumption is terrifying.

As for whether Jia can manage to conduct the experiments while doing this?

That's perfectly possible.

Because Jia herself was constantly eating, all the research work was left to her former Living Metal body.

Hiss.

This...

This... this...

"So what do we do now? I've already said what I meant, I can't just go back on my word, can I?"

"It's too small; it reflects a narrow perspective."

How so?

"Don't say I didn't help you, buddy. This is Nostramo."

Nostramo?

Hiss.

Yes.

This is Nostramo.

Then the Silent King must follow the lifestyle of ordinary people!

What?

Why do you think I, the Overlord of Solemnace, eat so much?

Well, as Silent King himself said, I, Trazyn, am just a good-for-nothing. So what if I eat a lot and have a good appetite?

But you, Silent King, are different.

You, Silent King, are the king of the Necrontyr Dynasty, the standard of conduct and morality for the Necrontyr Dynasty.

He is a role model.

How could you copy me?

If you learn from me, won't you become a good-for-nothing too?

At that point, the Necrontyr Dynasty might as well change their name to the Tasteful Death Clan. How will Necrontyr survive in the universe then? How will they face anyone?

"Haha! Old Han! You've been a huge help!"

"We're like family, it's easy to talk, easy to talk."
