Legend: One corpse-picking message per day

Chapter 42 Foodie! Level 21!
In the second level of the Hell Skull Cave...

After selling his miscellaneous items and storing them away, He Sheng thought he'd check if there was any mission available here.

In the original owner's memory, there were no missions to accept here.

But He Sheng remembers his past life and can come here to do tasks like making a magic wand or quests in Purgatory.

He Sheng hadn't gone to the second floor of the regular map to ask before, so now that he was here, he decided to ask the unscrupulous merchants here first.

"Dear warrior, you can go to the normal map and ask my cousin for advice." The shrewd merchant sent a private message to He Sheng with a smile.

It seems he doesn't have any tasks here.

Looking at Yu Jie, who was still fiddling with something beside him, He Sheng really wanted to ask her about the mission, but in the end he held back.

What if she doesn't know either?

If you ask her yourself and she leads a group to explore the mission, then you'll lose out.

So, let's not ask for now.

"Take a rest, I'm starving. I'll treat you to some pastries."

Yu Jie took out a table, a chair...

She gracefully took her seat in the chair, and then exquisite pastries and special tea were served...

The exquisite packaging alone gives it a high-end feel.

Mr. He then pulled out a whole bunch of cheap snacks, including bread, spicy strips, chicken feet, Coke, Sprite, and so on...

These were things that the original owner bought in large quantities and kept in his room, which he also intended to bring into this world to eat.

"You only eat this junk food?"

Upon seeing spicy strips, pickled chicken feet, and other snacks, Yu Jie frowned slightly and asked in surprise.

"Hehe, if we don't eat this, what will we eat? We'll just have to make do."

He Sheng smiled as he tore open a packet of spicy strips and began to wolf them down.

After leveling up to level 20, his vital signs changed, and his actual lifespan increased, so he became more casual about what he ate.

"Isn't this bad for your health? I've never eaten anything like this before."

Smelling the enticing aroma of the spicy strips, Yu Jie couldn't help but swallow.

Suddenly, the delicate pastries in her hands no longer tasted good...

He Sheng tempted, "Try it. We are all extraordinary life forms, what are you afraid of? It's not like you eat this all the time."

"Hmm... okay, I'll try a little."

Yu Jie gracefully extended her fair fingers, made a delicate pinky gesture, and used a toothpick to pick up a spicy strip.

With his eyes closed, he gritted his teeth and put it in his mouth...

A gentle chew...

then……

Her eyes widened suddenly!
After taking another bite, she couldn't help but chew quickly...

Perhaps she ate too fast and choked; she coughed and coughed, tears welling up in her eyes…

"Haha...have a sip of water..."

He Sheng smiled and handed over an open bottle of Sprite.

"My family says that drinking too much of this stuff will make you fat and is bad for your health, so I've never drunk it." Yu Jie looked at Sprite with some hesitation.

Finally, encouraged by He Sheng, she accepted it.

She gulped it down, and after taking a sip, her eyes changed again... becoming frighteningly bright!
I drank half a bottle in one go and couldn't help but let out a small burp...

"I'm sorry, it tastes so good, I couldn't resist." Yu Jie lowered her head slightly, her face slightly flushed.

"Hahaha...Try this one too..."

He Sheng laughed and handed the young lady a bag of pickled chicken feet.

This time, Yu Jie didn't hesitate, and after taking it, she started showing it off...

"Is it delicious?" He Sheng asked with a smile.

"Delicious...delicious..."

Yu Jie held a chicken foot in one hand and a spicy snack in the other, taking big bites. Soon her mouth was stained red, completely abandoning her elegant lady-like image...

"Hahaha……"

He Sheng suddenly smiled and started snapping photos of her with his phone...

"Did you turn on the beauty filter? You're taking pictures randomly!" Yu Jie glared at her reproachfully.

"look."

He Sheng showed her one of them!
"Ah! Are you trying to kill me?! The photos are so ugly! Delete them right now!" Yu Jie pretended to be angry, but the smile on her face didn't stop.

"Isn't it quite beautiful? Haha..." He Sheng laughed heartily, then changed the subject, saying:

"Beautiful lady, you wouldn't want the whole world to know you were secretly eating spicy snacks, would you?"

"Ah, so what do you want?" Yu Jie exclaimed, feigning fear.

Now it's He Sheng's turn to be at a loss; this girl doesn't look like someone to mess with.

After a moment of silence, looking at Yu Jie who was still showing off her food with gusto, he smiled and said:

"What do I want? Your pastries are delicious, bring more next time."

"Tch, boring. I thought you were going to threaten me." Yu Jie rolled her eyes at him and continued showing off.

This person is a foodie!

He Sheng took a bite of the pastry and said, "How could I dare to threaten you?"

"You're smart to know what's good for you, humph! Here, I have something delicious to eat, which Wang Ma spent several days making."

"It's delicious! I was planning to save it for myself, but I'm giving it to you now."

As she spoke, Yu Jie took out an even more exquisite pastry. She originally intended to hand it all to He Sheng, but then withdrew her hand halfway out.

"Half for each person."

"Ah ha ha……"

He Sheng took half of the pastry, which was colorful and had no idea what it contained, as he had never seen it before.

I took a bite, and I must say, the flavor was absolutely amazing...

"Delicious! This is the best thing I've ever eaten!" He Sheng gave a thumbs up.

"Hehe... I told you it would be delicious."

Having gained He Sheng's approval, Yu Jie smiled and ate the pastries in small bites, as if afraid of showing off too much in one go...

……

After finishing their meal, the two continued grinding monsters...

Not long after, Yu Jie finally leveled up to level 20.

However, her joy lasted less than half an hour before He Sheng was promoted again...

"You, you just leveled up again?"

Yu Jie asked in surprise.

"Ah."

He Sheng nodded, and another white light shone through, this time visible to others.

"You leveled up so fast!"

Yu Jie outwardly appeared envious, but inwardly she was furious!
As far as she knew, leveling up to level 21 gave her 20,000 more experience points than leveling up to level 20.

Logically speaking, He Sheng should not have leveled up to level 21 so quickly.

Watching He Sheng intently fighting monsters, she seemed lost in thought, but ultimately asked nothing.

This world is full of wonders; it's not surprising at all that this man had some extraordinary encounter...

At this moment, He Sheng was also happily looking at his personal panel.

Unwavering Devotion: Mage, Level 21

Health Points: 81 + 40
Mana: 299 + 80
Experience points: 11-250000
……

The experience points required to level up from level 21 to level 22 almost doubled!

Originally, it would have taken 14 experience points to level up to level 21, but here it takes an extra 11 experience points.

There's no way around it, level 22 is a hurdle!

Once you reach level 22, you can change into your class outfit.

No more medium-weight armor; instead, you can wear much more powerful defensive gear.

Mages can wear mage robes!

Not only does it have high defense, but it also comes with 2 points of magic by nature.

On the surface, it's a clear difference between novices and experts.

After observing for a while, He Sheng and Yu Jie continued to grind monsters...

More than an hour later, the two looked at the monster in front of them with excitement!

The second floor is filled with hellish skeleton spirits!
"Don't deliver the final blow this time!"

He Sheng gave a word of advice and then rushed forward first!

"Tch! Talking like he's some great person..." Yu Jie followed him with a resentful and unconvinced expression, quickly applying poison to the old monster and engaging in a fierce battle with He Sheng, like a kite being pulled in the air...
