Chapter 529: Side Effects of Black Food?

Hmm?

The sudden stop of the voice in Alontan's head made Luo Jun feel something was wrong. He immediately tried to contact him, but found that their telepathy seemed to be cut off.

Looking at Alontan himself, he was standing in front of the dining table, his eyes were dull and motionless. The blissful clown on the castle was looking at him with a smile. That was not a painted smile. Under the red oil paint, his mouth was indeed upturned.

What happened?

After careful investigation, Luo Jun finally found that the connection between the two was not cut off, but Alontan's brain was blank now, as if the computer had crashed.

The reason for all this was that his body was invaded by something...

Luo Jun didn't know what it was, but he could feel that the more than 80,000 breaths of vitality he left in Alontan's body were busy fighting against this foreign force.

The competition between the two sides was extremely fierce. Luo Jun's vitality was being consumed at a very high rate. This was because his energy was high enough. If it were an ordinary practitioner, he would probably not be able to hold on for even a minute and would be completely defeated.

Is it because of the chicken wings?

Luo Jun frowned. Although his vitality could still hold on for the time being, Alontan's brain had basically stopped functioning. In this situation, he simply started to remotely control him according to the method used last time Alontan was anesthetized.

After standing there for a while, Alontan suddenly shook his head and fanned his mouth: "Good man, this thing is too greasy. It took a long time to recover."

"You...recovered?"

Seeing that "Luo Jun" had recovered his consciousness, the blissful clown on the balcony seemed a little surprised.

"Yes." Luo Jun noticed the other party's subtle attitude and pretended to be strange: "Is there any problem?"

"Oh..." The blissful clown looked at Luo Jun: "I forgot to ask before, have you eaten the food in the black store?"

Luo Jun was slightly stunned, and remembered what Zhuge Qian mentioned in his diary, regretting eating the food in the black store...

"No, is there any problem?" Luo Jun asked back.

When asking this question, he secretly rolled a dice.

"Get the real answer!"

Two pairs of dice, one pair resulted in 7 points, and the other pair resulted in 91 points...

Luo Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and chose the latter.

"Ding, the event difficulty is 96 points, and the final score is 91+5 points. The event is successful."

Is it so difficult?

"No..." The Bliss Clown laughed, "I just remembered that there was a precedent. Challengers who had eaten food from black shops would have adverse reactions when doing food challenges, and they might even die in serious cases...I saw you stunned just now, and I thought it was because of this reason."

The clown's explanation was reasonable, but Luo Jun clearly felt that when he spoke at this time, he was less crazy and exaggerated, and much more serious than before...Could it be because he was guilty?

Thinking of this, Luo Jun continued to ask: "Can I ask if anyone had an adverse reaction before, and what was the final outcome?"

"Not many people can come here. I remember the four-person team led by an old man. One of the red-haired young men had a reaction to the food in the black shop after eating it. After struggling, he died of bleeding from all seven orifices..."

It was Chen Jin!

Red hair is a feature of the Chen family. In addition, the four-person team led by the old man should be Chen Jin!

So Chen Jin died here? So, Zhuge Qian's diary mentioned that he could not eat the food in the black shop because it conflicted with the challenge on the second floor of the rest area, and he could not complete the challenge, and he could not get the key props to pass the level?

"Since you haven't eaten it, don't worry, continue the challenge." The Bliss Clown urged: "You only have twenty minutes left now."

Luo Jun nodded, and walked to the next plate while thinking in his mind

It seems that the clues about passing the level mentioned in the diary are these mysterious props on the second floor? The reason they failed was because they ate the food from the black shop...

But the result of the dice and the hint from the relic told Luo Jun that chicken wings could not be eaten. This was indeed the case. Since the chicken wings were eaten, Alontan's mind fell into silence, and the vitality in his body continued to resist and consume. This seemed to contradict the conditions for passing the level...

Luo Jun was muttering in his heart, controlling Alontan and uncovering the eighth plate.

There was a pried open shell inside, with plump and tender shellfish meat inside, and translucent juice could be seen.

Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty, and then there should be stinky and fragrant...Although spicy, fragrant, and stinky should not be specific tastes, it is obvious that the delicacies in this challenge can simulate the corresponding mental stimulation in a special way...What could this shell be?

Luo Jun remembered the most advanced taste in the dishes.

Fresh!

The most prominent feature of seafood and aquatic products is the umami taste. What would the ultimate umami taste feel like? Pour a bag of MSG in your mouth?

Luo Jun had never tried it, and couldn't imagine what it tasted like.

He controlled Alontan to pick up the shell, gritted his teeth, put it to his mouth and sucked it, sucking the shell meat and juice into his mouth, and then prepared to accept the baptism of explosive taste!

Hmm?

However, Alontan chewed for a long time, and until he swallowed it, Luo Jun didn't feel anything...

Yes, it was Alontan who was eating, what does it have to do with me, Luo Jun?

Alontan is now unconscious, so any stimulation is useless. So, the next two dishes can be easily passed?

Although he didn't feel anything, Luo Jun still pretended to be unable to swallow, and then opened two plates.

The ninth dish was a small dried fish. As soon as the lid was opened, a strong fishy smell could be smelled, but he still had no feeling after eating it. The last dish was a small cup of light yellow liquid. He didn't know what it was, so he drank it all up and passed the test successfully.

Of course, when eating these dishes, Luo Jun not only manipulated Alontan to pretend, but also did not forget to carefully explore his physical and mental state.

As he guessed, except for the chicken wing, Alontan's body did not react to eating other things. This thing should act directly on the mind. But Alontan's mind seemed to have no reaction, as if he didn't receive any stimulation at all.

Could it be that the dishes after the chicken wings were just for show?

No, Luo Jun smelled the fishy smell of the dried fish, but Alontan had no reaction at all. It was not a question of the strength of the stimulation at all.

After thinking about it, Luo Jun came to the conclusion that although the taste of this food is a kind of mental attack, it must be received through the senses. But this perception is not the five senses in the usual sense, but more like the sensitivity of the spirit... For example, the perception of vitality!

In other words, the stronger the perception, the stronger the stimulation received, and the stronger the spirit, the stronger the stimulation can be.

This also solved Luo Jun's previous doubts.

Although his mental attribute is extremely strong, his perception attribute is not much less. In other words, the stimulation he receives is thousands of times stronger than that of ordinary people, not to mention that he has the additional bonus brought by the perception of over 100... Even with thousands of times the mental strength, he can barely bear it.

For the first time, Luo Jun felt that too high attributes are also a burden.

In any case, now the fourth level is considered to be passed, and the treasure that can be teleported to the exit is already in hand. In theory, Luo Jun now has a great chance of passing the level.

After all, he already has an exit indicator, and then teleports to within 30 kilometers of the exit. Once the map is opened, it should not be a big problem to destroy a few walls when necessary and go around to the exit within an hour.

But the premise is that the exit will not suddenly fly away.

So the last level must be passed.

"Very exciting!" The Bliss Clown couldn't help but applaud: "Not many people can make it to this level. You have almost got the key to pass the endless maze, but I still want to ask you a question."

"Stop here and take the four treasures you have already obtained? Or continue with the final challenge?"

"Do I need to ask this?" Luo Jun smiled and said, "Of course I have to continue, but I have eaten so much dirty stuff, I still need to rest."

"Please help yourself." The Bliss Clown made a gesture of invitation: "You can come up and challenge at any time during the hotel's existence."

"Similarly, if you have other companions who want to challenge, you can also come up to me. I can help them arrange the venue for the previous challenge, and it will not interfere with your progress."

"Thank you very much." Luo Jun controlled Alontan to bow to the Bliss Clown, then turned and left and walked into the elevator.

So far, one third of the vitality in Ailontan's body has been consumed, but there is still no sign of stopping. Luo Jun still can't figure out what these vitality are fighting against.

Of course, as a summoned creature, Luo Jun can dismiss him and summon him again at any time, so that his status will be refreshed. But he wants to find out what the problem is with the chicken wings.

While the elevator was descending, Luo Jun put his cloak on Ailontan to help him become invisible. Although Ailontan himself has the ability to be invisible, under Luo Jun's control, Ailontan can only do some basic actions, and his ability to concentrate his mind can't be used at all.

Back to the first floor, Luo Jun immediately summoned other people.

During the time he challenged, everyone was not idle. They washed and wiped their bodies, wore bathrobes, and watched movies in the hall while enjoying foot massage.

Looking at their corrupt appearance and thinking about the sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty food he had just eaten, Luo Jun was furious.

"You passed? Why did it take so long?" Ma Qiao came over rubbing his hands: "Have you got the three thousand yuan? Come on, let's change people."

Luo Jun spread his hands: "Sorry, I haven't got the money yet."

"Really?!" Ma Qiao widened his eyes and shouted: "You didn't even pass the first level?"

"What are you yelling about!" Sun Xiaowei stood in front of Luo Jun: "Even if you didn't pass, so what? Have you forgotten how your junior brother took care of us all the way?"

"I didn't mean to yell at him, I just got scared." Ma Qiao scratched his head and apologized.

"If he didn't pass, then he didn't pass." Mao Xintong said: "Anyway, Xiao Luo's badge can get three thousand after midnight, and we can send someone to challenge."

Everyone else sighed, only Yuan Lao smiled at Luo Jun, he didn't believe that his precious apprentice would not even pass the first level.

Unable to bear the stare from his master, Luo Jun could only smile and say, "No, I've already passed the fourth level, but it's not over yet, so I haven't claimed the prize yet. I just came down to take a break."

"The fourth level?!" Everyone was surprised and said, "Doesn't that mean you've already got the teleporter? Don't challenge the fifth level, just get the prize first!"

"What's the use of just a teleporter?" Luo Jun shook his head: "If the exit is in chaos, it's useless for us to teleport to the nearby... So I have applied for the fifth level, and I will go up after a rest."

"Ah?" Ma Qiao made a bitter face: "Xiao Luo, you are confused. The fifth level is a combat level. Your realm is too low and your experience is not enough. It's better to get the money first and let those who are better at combat challenge it."

"Don't worry, I know my limits." Luo Jun waved his hand and said: "I came down to rest, mainly to tell you about the challenges of the first few levels..."

Luo Jun shared his experience and roughly described the intensity of the first few levels, with the focus on the fourth level.

"Do you remember the tip that the opening is to stay away from flying things?" Luo Jun said: "There was a chicken wing in the ten dishes. I didn't dare to eat it, but secretly changed a summon to eat it. The final result... The summon was useless."

"Toxic?" Others were surprised when they heard it.

"I don't know either." Luo Jun shrugged his shoulders: "So if other people go up, there is no way to deal with it. It is not recommended to challenge the fourth level. Just take the things from the first three levels."

"But if you only take the first three levels, you won't get the important props." Sun Xiaowei said.

"You can't risk your life." Luo Jun thought to himself, if I eat it, it will be a level 6 severity coefficient. With your small body, won't you die directly?

"This is the situation. You guys discuss a solution on the first floor. I'm almost done resting, so I have to go up to challenge the last level."

"The last level must be difficult." Zhuge Zi said: "Do your best, and if you can't do it, just admit defeat."

Luo Jun nodded: "Don't worry!"

Back on the second floor, Luo Jun stood in front of the castle: "Come on, let's start the last level."

The Bliss Clown looked down at him: "Have you rested so soon?"

"I have to remind you that the fifth level is the most difficult, and the opponent you have to face may be beyond your imagination."

Luo Jun smiled confidently: "Don't worry, I'm ready to win."

"Very good." The Bliss Clown opened his hands, grinned and shouted: "I declare, the final challenge, start~~~!"

As he clapped his hands, a circle of fences suddenly rose up in the 50-meter range around Luo Jun, and then a transparent barrier rose along the fence and closed above his head, forming a hemispherical enclosed arena.

Opposite Luo Jun, the ground cracked and a platform slowly rose up, on which stood a young man with red hair.

Seeing this man, Luo Jun narrowed his eyes slightly and asked with a little doubt:

"Chen...Jin?"
