Chapter 111 Bloody Mary (Thanks to all readers for their tips in the 18th update)

"If nothing else, this should be a detective."

"On that night when I went to the old city, maybe I was noticed by this detective, so I felt like I was being spied on."

"Moreover, at that time, he had already reached the second-level profession, which gave me a vague sense of threat from [the devil]."

"Could it be...that this guy's profession is [Devil Detective]?"

If this was really the profession, Chen Ye would have to be cautious about it.

Among all the second-job occupations...

[Devil Detective] and [Devil Cooker] belong to the same echelon. While they are both functional professions, they also have good combat abilities.

Both have [Devil] sequence combat capabilities.

But the difference is...

[Devil Cooker] has the ability to process devil ingredients among its combat characteristics, and can exert a certain degree of restraint on occupations that are also in the [Devil] sequence.

"No wonder I felt the threat of being watched by the devil that day. Detective and devil, huh, is this a profession where the suspect is found and executed on the spot?"

"However, this feeling has disappeared since I merged into a second-level profession."

"This is because [Devil Cooker] has the ability to restrain [Demon]. If it is not a higher-order [Demon], it can only be regarded as a dish on the plate at most."

"If we have an encounter with that guy, my characteristics will give me an advantage."

"However, [Detective]'s information intelligence capabilities are far stronger than [Chef]. Although the conflict between players is not so obvious at present, if it develops to the subsequent stage, there will often be a battle, and they will be fully prepared in advance. [Detectives] can use characteristics such as profiling to know the other party’s information and make targeted decisions.”

"Furthermore...compared to other detective professions, [Devil Detective] can also sacrifice to certain beings to obtain the desired intelligence information in extraordinary ways."

Chen Ye couldn't help but think of the gray air masses that kept hitting him when he first entered the store.

But this thing... is not a [Devil]... it has no entity...

It's not like the characteristic ability that the [Devil] sequence can produce.

Unless... this demon detective has more characteristics than just this profession.

He can also control invisible beings.

If this is the case, even if you have the characteristics to restrain the [Devil] sequence, you must be extremely careful.

Chen Ye crossed his arms, with a meaningful smile on his face, and said:

"Yes, I do have such an item on my person, but why did I agree to the transaction?"

"The exchange of characteristic items for characteristic items is at best equivalent, and obviously, your boss and I are competitors."

"Although this thing is indeed useful to me, if I give him what he wants, wouldn't it also pose a threat to me?"

"As for the exchange of characteristic items...he should know that I have a good reputation on the public screen. If I post my requirements, I should still be able to find what I want. Since I can definitely find better options, why should I let the most threatening Sexual competitors profit?”

"The boss expected that you would use such rhetoric..."

With a soft eyebrow, Mizi sighed, seeming to be tired of this tedious job. She lowered her head and pulled out another piece of paper, glanced at it, and then said:

"The boss seems to be very confident in the goods in his hand, which shows that in the entire City of Destiny, only this kind of goods is the most suitable for your career path. By the way, let me add one more thing, he is very bored with this list battle, And he has no interest in inheriting this month’s talent. As for this paradise and this pollution, he has other things he wants to get more, and there may be opportunities for cooperation..."

After Mizi finished reading, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed to be a very difficult task to convey such a long and complicated sentence fluently.

Chen Ye was silent for a moment.

Then, he turned around and wrote a sentence in the third line of rules——

[Diners entering this store need to be honest and truthful, otherwise they will be punished by being eaten. 】

After the third rule was written, the gilt font on it glowed with golden light.

This shows that this rule is in effect.

At the same time, as Chen Ye's mind moved slightly, four new words appeared on the plaque above the door of the store -

【Integrity Restaurant】

Chen Ye opened the store door and said with a smile:

"Now, I think we can come in and chat!"

…………

Half an hour later.

Chen Ye's shop has an extra row of wooden tables and stools, and in the center of the table is a glass wine glass filled with blood-colored liquid.

The tables and stools here come from the characteristics of the "parasitic land deed". Since the real estate has become a part of Chen Ye's body, the decoration here can be changed with just a thought.

At this time, Chen Ye's mind was recalling the conversation he had with Mizi just after entering the store.

The information exchanged before was exchanged again and confirmed to be true.

Including that the boss is not interested in ranking competition...

Chen Ye had already guessed the identity of the other party, and it was most likely Bai Chen.

The characteristic of [Detective] can gain strange value when digging out secret information or making correct analysis.

At present, Chen Ye feels that this city is indeed full of secrets.

Why is the list started?

Why do all players get a new identity after landing?

Why is it called the City of Destiny? Where do these copies come from? Why is Xijiang polluted? What about the large public copies...

Many questions lingered in Chen Ye's mind, and he would not simply believe that this was just a game.

So, who made the rules behind it, and what was the purpose?

Chen Ye was also aware of these problems, so this was one of the reasons why he would consider cooperating with the detective...

Of course.

As for what the person said, that he was not interested in the list competition, Chen Ye did not believe it completely.

After all, this was what the "boss" asked Mi Zi to repeat, and she just said it according to these contents, and it did not involve the issue of integrity or untruthfulness.

But Chen Ye changed the question, he asked Mi Zi: "Do you think that the boss's lack of interest is from the heart?"

At that time, Mi Zi hesitated. In fact, if she didn't want to lie, she could avoid this question.

But Mi Zi thought about it and nodded: "I think he is sincere."

Not violating the rules of the store and not triggering the "penalty of being eaten" means that she really thinks so.

From Miko's perspective, the "boss" really has no interest in competing for the list.

Miko has confirmed her identity as a strange native under the store rules, and in her eyes, players should be outsiders... It will not be so short to gain trust, and can be treated with a more objective and rational attitude.

To be honest, facing the players at the top of the list, Chen Ye's attitude will be more cautious and careful. But he did not completely refuse any contact. After all, there are many unsolved mysteries in this city of destiny, which may turn into devastating disasters at any time and pose a threat to all players.

Under the conditions of common interests and survival needs, there may be opportunities to cooperate with other players.

"Hehe, but this guy really knows how to do business."

Chen Ye looked at the bloody Mary in the glass and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling.

That's right, such characteristic items can indeed be integrated with [Wandering Musician].

But not immediately...

But the same material of the second transfer profession.

At present, due to the lack of a necessary characteristic condition, Bloody Mary cannot be absorbed for the time being.

Bloody Mary is a psychedelic drink. It seems to be the signature drink of the coffee shop, but if you drink it rashly, it is highly addictive. Once you stop taking it, you will feel very uncomfortable. If you take it for a long time, you will lose your self-awareness and become a controlled puppet.

Although Chen Ye did not lose money, it is obvious that the "boss" can enjoy the new characteristic ability given by the fusion of [Giant's Neck Meat] more quickly.

And Chen Ye still has to look for another material to realize the second transformation of [Wandering Musician].

In this transaction, the "boss" seems to make more money.

But...

What Mizi said is right.

The glass radiance emitted by Bloody Mary is extremely bright. Although the previous characteristic items have a similar luster, most of them cannot compare with it.

When he raised the wine glass, a faint glass line extended along the store door, and a slowly flowing energy torrent was differentiated in the front of the field of vision, as if guiding the direction of the remaining materials.

The corners of his mouth curled up:

"Although I didn't get the new features immediately, the second transformation of [Wandering Musician] has a clue!"

As long as I search along the direction of this colored glass...

Perhaps, it won't take long to find the materials to promote [Wandering Musician] to a second transformation profession.

As the first profession drawn, what kind of second transformation can [Wanderer] integrate...

Chen Ye has more expectations for this!

Noon.

The blood mist completely receded, and the streets of the paradise returned to being deserted. Only a few numb figures wandered around like lonely souls.

Even the bloody giant eye that day disappeared. Except for the surrounding shops covered with a layer of bloody curtains, everything else was no different from the usual pedestrian street.

Confirming that there was no danger, Chen Ye pushed open the door and left the paradise in the direction indicated by the colored glass lines...
