My inventory is full of monster materials.

Daphne Hotel.

It was late at night, the hotel had long since closed, and the kitchen was deserted. Only the light in the rough processing room was still on, illuminating a figure in the dim light.

Ten gutted pigs were neatly hung in front of me.

Mark lowered his head and muttered to himself.

"A live pig is only 8 silver coins, which is quite cheap. I guess Lao Luo paid me based on the slaughterhouse's purchase price plus some transportation costs."

Without further thought, Mark opened his equipment inventory and his gaze fell on the "Gluttonous Ogre Stomach" in the [Torso] section.

"Once we finish this batch, that should be enough. Let's begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mark placed his palm on a live pig hanging upside down, the icy touch traveling up his fingertips.

The next second, I silently recited in my mind.

[Sacrifice]

A grayish-white color surged from his palm and quickly spread to the entire pig. In the blink of an eye, the originally rosy and fresh pork turned grayish and rotten, as if it were covered with a thick layer of mud and ash.

Mark slowly withdrew his palm, and the ashen pork instantly crumbled into dust. Before it even hit the ground, it had vanished without a trace.

Mark remained unfazed and walked to the next pig, repeating the same trick.

In just a short while, the rough processing room was empty.

Mark clenched his fists, his palms trembling slightly. He tilted his head back, took a deep breath, and felt the changes happening in his equipment inventory.

[Detected that "Gluttonous Ogre Stomach (Green)" has completed "evolution".]

[Obtained "The Gluttonous Giant's Stomach (Blue)".]

The Gluttonous Giant's Stomach (Blue)

Completeness: 100%

[Effect]: Gluttony +100%, Feeding Efficiency +100%, Growth Trait "Gigantification (0/100)"

【special】:

「巨型化（0/100）」：当饱食值为50/75/100时，体型+15%，体质+1/+1。

Giant!

Mark was speechless for a moment.

He is 15 years old and over 1.7 meters tall, which is not short for his age, and he still has a lot of room to grow.

However, if his "Gigantification" satiety level is fully replenished, his size will increase by about 1.5 times.

A rough estimate suggests it's at least 2.5 meters high, and could even reach 3 meters!

Thinking about this, Mark couldn't help but smile.

To appease his companions, he made up a lie on the spot, saying he was a descendant of frost giants. Now it seems the lie is about to become the truth.

Glug~ Glug~

Suddenly, a loud, drum-like sound came from Mark's stomach.

He raised his hand and patted his belly, thinking to himself with a sigh.

Binge eating +100%

Sure enough.

Now he could eat a whole cow if it were placed in front of him.

Mark then slipped into the hotel's kitchen and began his whirlwind rampage.

The head chef's half-roasted beef and lamb chops, marinated sausages, newly purchased breadsticks, and several bottles of fruit wine prepared for tomorrow were all devoured, which finally eased the emptiness in my stomach.

"Hiccup—"

Mark lay back in his chair, his large belly protruding, and let out a heavy burp. His gaze fell once again on the "Giant's Stomach" item in his inventory.

"Gigantified (6/100)"

It only went up this little?

Mark pondered to himself.

We definitely can't eat like this every day.

Don't forget that the stomach pouch also has the effect of "100% increase in eating efficiency".

If you overeat just to improve your physical condition, wouldn't you just become obese and end up losing more than you gain?

No, absolutely not.

Mark set a goal for himself in his mind.

Eat smaller, more frequent meals and drink more water. Even if it takes two or three months to fill up your satiety level, it's not too late to unlock all the effects of "Gigantification".

Compared to the stomach sac, another material that Mark also coveted was the Mind Flayer's modified Slime King core.

This material requires a large amount of brain material.

But animal brains are not commonly consumed, and slaughterhouses do not preserve them separately.

In the past few days, Mark has managed to collect some items through the hotel's Paul, and the "activation" process is only one-third complete.

Mark was quite looking forward to seeing what changes would occur in this brain nucleus.

After resting in a chair for a while, Mark had almost digested the food in his stomach. When he got up again, he found the kitchen table in a mess, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"I told Lao Luo this morning to deduct the money from my account as compensation for the kitchen's losses."

Mark then quickly tidied up his desk before turning around and returning to his room.

The night outside the window was dark and peaceful. The town lights had long been extinguished, and only the bright moon in the sky cast a faint, cold glow.

Mark sat down at the desk by the window, stretching his stiff neck and back, and cheered himself up.

"Four days and four nights of training, just one last level to go! Let's give it our all!"

Immediately afterwards, Mark closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and sank his consciousness into his spiritual sea, directly entering the glowing bubble that represented "Mage Armor".

In an instant, a wealth of knowledge about "mage armor" flooded my mind—from the construction of magical fields to the channeling of magic power, and the regulation of defense...

The magic within his body flowed slowly, guided by his consciousness, but the process was somewhat sluggish, like a frozen sheep's legs clumsily shuffling towards the sheepfold.

Fortunately, Mark used his immense mental strength to forcefully "pull" the magic along its predetermined path.

When the magic reached its peak, Mark suddenly opened his eyes, parted his lips slightly, and uttered the spell.

"يَاقُوَّةَالْعَنَاصِرِ،كُونِيلِيدِرْعًا."

(Elemental power, transform into my armor.)

As soon as he finished speaking, a transparent protective force field appeared on Mark's body.

Mark could clearly feel the slight touch on his skin, as if he were enveloped in a very light veil, almost weightless.

But this seemingly fragile veil has an unexpected level of defensive power.

Mark had already tested it; the force field formed by the "Mage Armor" provided defense equivalent to medium-sized armor, such as chainmail or scale armor, and was sufficient to withstand most ordinary physical attacks from non-professionals.

However, the force field will be worn down by one point with each attack it takes. It will dissipate after about 5-6 attacks or one attack that exceeds the force field's limit.

Mark was quite satisfied with this.

For a backline damage dealer like him, the most annoying thing is the enemy's harassing attacks, which are not very threatening but still have to be avoided.

The "Mage Armor" perfectly fills this gap, not only greatly improving survivability but also indirectly increasing damage output.

After briefly checking the stability of the force field, Mark deliberately dispelled its magical effects, then closed his eyes again, channeled his magic, and repeated the spell.

Ever since learning the secret of "Ultimate Intelligence" at Lily's Treehouse, Mark has been immersed in training "Mage Armor".

With 19 points of intelligence and magic potion, Mark is progressing quite rapidly and has now finally reached the final step.

Outside the inn, pale blue magical light flickered in the second-floor windows. The bright moon in the night sky slowly descended, the stars gradually disappeared, and the darkness on the horizon slowly faded, gradually turning into a pale dawn.

As the light from the window flickered for the last time, Mark slumped back in his chair, gently rubbing his temples with both hands, breathing heavily, his eyes bloodshot.

"Phew~ Finally...it's done."

Mark's throat was burning, his voice was hoarse, but he couldn't hide his joy.

[Detected "Mage Armor" upgraded to Max, base attribute "Intelligence" +2.]

[A resonance was detected between "Mage Armor" and "Frostblood III".]

Learned the 2nd-level spell "Frost Armor".

"Frost Armor Lv1 (Green)": Applies an ice elemental magic field to the target, inflicting ice-related negative effects on melee attackers. Defense +20%, Control +20%.

[Base attribute "Intelligence" ≥ 20 detected. Acquired trait "Exceptional Intelligence I".]

"Superior Intelligence I": Low-level items (white, ordinary) can no longer provide "Intelligence". "Wisdom" divine power adaptability +20%, "Wisdom" related divine power adaptability +10%.

Mark sat up abruptly, all his fatigue vanishing, his eyes fixed on the attributes on the panel.

"Maximum Intelligence: 20 points..."

Mark removed the "Intelligence +3" item from the "Skull" equipment slot, and the panel data immediately displayed "Intelligence: 18/20".

Seeing this result, Mark breathed a sigh of relief—he almost thought that his 1 point of excess intelligence would be blocked, but thankfully this was the real world and not a game.

But then again, Mark's attention was on two new abilities.

"Frost Armor...Superior Intelligence..."

The former can be understood as a magical mutation caused by bloodline, but the latter is a bit hard to fathom.

Is it a feature that is triggered whenever the six-dimensional attributes reach a certain limit?
