Chapter 16 The Witch's Egg

When Li Zhe scanned the Sloth Witch, he discovered some kind of vital signs in her abdominal cavity.

At the time, I thought it was the energy backup core of this type of monster.

He even prepared a corresponding attack plan.

First, attack the monster's vital core located in its heart.

If the monster isn't completely dead, quickly finish it off with a blow to its abdomen.

In retrospect, that was not an energy backup core at all.

Instead, it was the internet cafe owner and his family who were swallowed whole by the monster!
Li Zhe crouched down and carefully approached.

The detection module was activated again to perform a detailed scan of the three individuals' vital signs.

[Vital signs: Stable]

[Status: Deep drowsiness, malnutrition, mild mental pollution]

[Note: There is nothing seriously wrong, but some psychological counseling may be needed.]

Seeing this result, Li Zhe breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that the person is still alive.

His gaze then fell on the giant black egg.

The moment your finger lightly touches the eggshell, a string of information appears on the panel.

[The Egg of the Primordial Abyss Apostle (Sloth)]

[Status: Hibernating]

[Incubation conditions: In an absolutely quiet, undisturbed environment filled with negative energy, continuously absorb the lazy emotions of surrounding life forms for at least one hundred years.]

[Historical Message Log (Expand/Collapse)]

Li Zhe felt a chill run down his spine.

This is the first time I've encountered an abyss monster labeled "Primordial".

I never imagined that an apostle of this "primordial" level would be so troublesome.

Even if you are killed outside of the Abyss, you will not truly die.

Instead, it will transform into this egg-like form, awaiting resurrection.

However, after each death, they shrink into eggs.

Memory, combat strength, and all other abilities will be completely reset.

Moreover, it seems that the incubation conditions are quite demanding.

A century of laziness?

Ha ha……

Don't be fooled by the fact that everyone in Huazhou talks about lying down and giving up; they're all secretly incredibly scheming!
This egg probably won't hatch even if Earth explodes.

Li Zhe opened the "Historical Information Log".

Scattered fragments of text appeared before his eyes.

These texts record in detail the experiences of this Sloth Witch in her previous life cycle—

[...Awake...So sleepy...Don't want to move...]

This world... is so noisy... the energy is so chaotic... I want to find a place to sleep...

[...Found a nice nest... lots of soft chairs... very weak energy fluctuations... very quiet... except for a few naked apes making a racket inside... so annoying...]

[...I ate them all...My stomach is so full...I don't want to move anymore...]

Digestion is such a hassle... Oh well... I'll just save it for now... So sleepy... Time for bed...

[...How much time has passed? I don't know...My stomach is so noisy...Those naked apes that were swallowed, their thoughts are influencing me...They want to open a shop...Pretty little girls...wearing strange clothes...playing games with people...and they'll be happy...Hmm...It seems so troublesome...But...it seems like I could make a lot of money...With money...I can hire people to serve me...and I won't have to move...Hmm...Sounds good...Let's do it...]

Li Zhe: "..."

Looking at this illogical and bizarrely structured log entry...

For a moment, I didn't know where to begin complaining.

This Sloth Witch truly has the word "lazy" etched deep into her soul.

After eating a person, they are too lazy to digest them.

It has been kept in this strange, lukewarm space of the digestive cavity until now!

It was precisely this extreme "laziness" that, by a twist of fate, saved the lives of the internet cafe owner and his family of three.

As for taking over this shop and transforming it into a maid board game arcade... such a bizarre and illogical move is probably a result of the chaotic thinking of the three members of the owner's family.

"Snoring... snoring..."

A loud snore pulled Li Zhe's thoughts back to the present.

The internet cafe owner started snoring.

He smacked his lips, turned over, and slept like a log.

The little girl next to him frowned at the snoring.

Her little mouth was slightly pouting, and she looked like she might wake up at any moment.

Seeing this, Li Zhe knew that this place was not a good place to stay.

He quickly put the giant egg and the rhombus-shaped crystal core into the maintenance hangar.

Then we went to the window of the private room.

After confirming that there was no one outside and no surveillance cameras, they quietly climbed over the wall.

Li Zhe stopped at a concealed location a block away, activated the detection module, and silently observed the subsequent situation at the store...

Not long after, the piercing sound of police sirens grew louder as they approached.

Several security patrol cars sped over and blocked off the disaster-prone street once again.

A team of fully armed security personnel stormed into the "Haruhabara Maid Board Game Hall".

The internet cafe owner and his family of three were treated as survivors of the "monster attack" and carefully lifted into an ambulance to be taken to the nearest facility for questioning and a full medical examination.

Meanwhile, the maids who were still slacking off in the shop turned pale and were all taken away to assist in the investigation.

This newly opened maid-themed board game arcade will soon become history.

The person who started all of this is Li Zhe.

He had long since accomplished his task and left, concealing his merits and fame.

Turned around and left this place of trouble.

"Cuckoo-"

Li Zhe's stomach emitted a warning signal.

It seems that even with this armored body, it still feels hungry.

So he found a Cantonese roast meat shop on the roadside and ordered a steaming hot claypot rice with roast meat.

"Fuck-"

When the waiter brought the piping hot casserole to the table, enticing white steam was still rising from the edge of the lid.

The moment the lid is lifted, a rich aroma, a blend of the salty and savory fragrance of cured meat, the crispy aroma of rice, and the savory aroma of soy sauce, wafts out and hits you right in the head!

Just smelling it makes my mouth water.

And there are also golden and glossy sausages, salty and firm cured pork, and tempting-looking sausages, all generously piled on top of the crystal-clear rice.

Drizzle another layer of the restaurant's secret soy sauce over the top, then use a spoon to scoop up a golden, crispy piece of rice crust from the bottom of the pot...

"Crack!"

With one bite, the soft and sticky rice, the crispy rice crust, the richness of the preserved meat, and the salty and sweet sauce explode in your mouth!
good to eat!

It's so damn delicious!

Although they enjoyed a feast of "gear cookies" in the abyss, which had a novel taste and could even boost their attributes.

But it's still this kind of food, full of everyday life and suitable for the constitution of our great foodie nation, that can better comfort one's soul!

Especially when I think about how I did a good deed anonymously and the spoils I got, the taste of this claypot rice is elevated to several levels.

Li Zhe devoured the entire pot of claypot rice in a whirlwind, even scraping off the crispy rice crust.

He let out a satisfied burp.

The progress bar for the muscle and nail health care task seems to have moved forward a little.

To ensure better health benefits, he began to plan what he would gain from this experience.

The spoils of war, besides the witch's egg which was of little use for the time being, were the material dropped by the Sloth Witch...

Moreover, this material happens to be a rare-grade core ingredient!

The conditions for upgrading to orange-tier equipment marked on that module drawing have been met!
