Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

Chapter 143 [Good Luck Dice] + [Red Gloves] (2-in-1)

Blue Mountain Cafe.

As night fell, the lights in the store were extinguished, leaving only a weak candlelight swaying on the wall-mounted bronze shrine above.

Yako is barefoot and wears a gorgeous court dress, with a mask painted as an Akari on the left side of her face.

The next moment, her figure danced on the bright and clean bleachers.

As the steps continued to dance, the dance became faster and faster, more and more crazy...

The surrounding candlelight suddenly began to dance wildly without wind. In the dim space, slanting shadows were projected on the wall, dancing crazily like ancient palace murals coming to life, intertwined in the shadows.

Invisibly, there seemed to be something invisible gathering here with the dancing shadows.

The air suddenly cooled down, and if there were any guests here, they would feel the chill as if they were on the verge of death. When you close your eyes, you can seem to hear crazy murmurs echoing in your ears like an auditory hallucination.

Mizi's bare feet were sometimes raised high and sometimes split as she danced.

Suddenly, her movements stopped, and the few candlelights that seemed to be swaying in the strong wind finally calmed down, emitting a soft and stable light source.

At this moment, a pale face with sharp edges came out of the dark corridor, holding a glass goblet in his hand, filled with a drink as scarlet as blood.

Bai Chen shook the drink in the cup, took a sip, and sighed:

"Mizi, didn't I tell you that as long as your performance is up to standard, you will be guaranteed a salary increase next month."

"Now is not the time to be lazy...don't stop so casually!"

"Then play music, then dance."

Mizi rolled her eyes. She had sworn not to believe a word of nonsense from Boss Gui, and said angrily:

"It's useless to continue dancing, the connection is cut off!"

"Cut off?" Bai Chen frowned slightly.

He knew that the dancing girl had a strange ability.

Able to communicate with certain invisible existences through [Dance of Recruitment].

For example... an extremely active spirit that has been lingering in the Blue Mountain Cafe.

As night falls, these spirits become more energetic than before.

In some cases……

It can even have an impact on this world!

Mizi's dance can communicate with those invisible beings and call them to help her do things.

The previous process was also smooth.

With this ability, even at night, invisible corners in the paradise can still be fed back to Bai Chen through these existences.

As an extremely important source of information and intelligence!

In recent days, Bai Chen has arranged for these beings to become his scouts.

Go spy on a new guest at the park!

It was obviously fine these days, but the contact was suddenly cut off today?

What's happening here?

Bai Chen rubbed his chin, and he immediately began to use his [Detective] ability to analyze whether Chen Ye had unlocked similar abilities when he advanced to the second rank.

If the guess is correct, the existence that the dancer found must have been mutilated by the opponent's characteristics...

Immediately afterwards.

The strange value that pops up on the blood-colored mobile phone has increased, confirming this guess.

"Then you can't communicate with other existences?"

Bai Chen's tone was slightly disappointed, feeling that Mizi had been with him for so long, but it seemed that he still hadn't grasped the essence of being a boss:

"One employee has run away, and another employee is still waiting to take up the job. There is always someone willing to do it!"

Mizi looked at Bai Chen with the eyes of an expert looking at an outsider, restraining the educational tone that was about to come out, and looked at Bai Chen for a few seconds:

"Do you think my [Dance of Recruitment] can communicate with any existence at will?"

"Only existences of the same kind! Specific existences! Existences that meet the conditions!"

"I've been here for so long, and I only have a little brother of the same kind, who is as innocent and cute as Silly Baitian, so I can trick him into doing hard labor."

"If you want me to recruit other beings..."

"You have to pay more!"

Bai Chen shrugged: "Okay, tell me, how much will it cost?"

"A gold coin."

"Gold coins?" Bai Chen frowned, "I don't have gold coins, but I can barely scrape together equivalent copper coins."

"Copper coins won't do."

Mizi shook his head and said: "Only gold coins can be traded. This is a specific rule."

"Okay..." Bai Chen said helplessly, "There are still a lot of broken rules over there."

"Then you think of a way to see if you can do another dance and get that guy over."

"Let's talk more."

Mizi showed an expression of despair.

Not only must she dance as a dancer, but she must also act as a social butterfly to communicate with other existences...

What kind of crappy job is this? Why are you so tired?

Tough luck!

What a bad luck!

How could I encounter such a troublesome and cunning boss who was not even willing to increase my salary and made all sorts of unreasonable demands?

But there was no way, this was her job after all, Mizi returned to the stage and was about to dance...

Boom!

Boom!

At this moment, there was a violent banging sound from the door beam of the Blue Mountain Cafe.

Bai Chen and Mi Zi looked outside at the same time.

There was nothing there, but there were constant crashing sounds in the transparent air.

It's like it's haunted.

Mizi spread her hands and said, "It's okay now, there's no need to dance anymore, that guy already belongs to the other party."

Bai Chen lowered his head and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he sighed:

“Why do I always feel like I’ve lost money on this [Bloody Mary]!”

"I have an inexplicable premonition..."

"I gave the key to the guy who shouldn't have given it, and it seems like everything in the cafe will belong to him."

Mizi clasped her hands together, and suddenly seemed to see the hope of life, full of excitement:

"I hope he can take me away quickly to avoid being exploited by an unscrupulous boss again..."

Bai Chen's smile froze on his face.

Behind him, the outline of the black shadow gradually twisted, forming a "?"

…………

Integrity restaurant.

In the darkness, there was a "click" and the fire was burning brightly.

Chen Ye began to develop a new dark cuisine.

He chopped the "ghoul's breast meat" into fine pieces of minced meat, and then shaped it into the shape of meat patties.

Immediately afterwards, the "moving mushrooms" are steamed and freshly baked.

This kind of mushroom has special "false activity". Even if the food is cooked, it will still shrink and expand, as if it is still alive.

After steaming, the mushrooms absorb steam moisture and become softer under high-temperature cooking. From a distance, they look like wriggling jelly.

Next.

Chen Ye added the most crucial ingredient——

Snake hair!

These are hairs that are shaped like snakes. According to legend, they are tissue parts cut off from the descendants of Medusa in the [Monster] series.

Although it is hair, it is actually connected with nerves and flesh and blood tissue, and it can be considered a part of the body.

If it were sold at normal market prices, it would be very expensive.

But the snake hair process requires soaking in water.

On the market, a large number of snake hair soaked in polluted water sources appeared. The supply was unsalable and could not be sold. It became the employee welfare mentioned by the weird boss, and was distributed to the players, and then resold on the [Weird Black Market].

In the end, it turned into ingredients that Chen Ye bought in bulk at low prices.

Chen Ye stuffed the mushroom into the hollow "mouth" of the snake's hair, so that the entire snake's interior was filled with this wriggling mushroom.

Suddenly, the body of the "snake" in front of him began to stretch, just like a real snake, still alive!

He wrapped the snake's hair around the meatloaf.

It looks to the naked eye...

The "meatloaf" is surrounded by several living snakes, stretching its limbs and dancing around.

During the marinating process, Chen Ye had already added salt to the meat patties, so there was no need to do much seasoning now.

But he made a bold move!

A layer of cream is spread on all sides of the entire meat pie, tightly wrapping the "snakes".

Made into "cream snake hair meatloaf".

To the naked eye, the cake seemed to be alive, shrinking and expanding.

At first glance, it doesn't look particularly weird.

But if you just take a bite and eat the cream on the outside, the snake inside will suddenly jump out!

This time's improvement can be regarded as a "blind box" packaging, which optimizes the last "sudden attack" scare mode.

The richness of the taste has also increased.

at this time……

Chen Ye felt as if something had poked him twice on his shoulder.

He turned his head and found that the surroundings were empty, and there seemed to be nothing.

As soon as he turned his head, the feeling of being "poke" became more intense, and he was poked several times.

Chen Ye's mind moved slightly, he opened the Eye of Luck, saw the gray air mass floating around him, and subconsciously concentrated his spiritual power.

The next second...

Directly in front of the field of vision, the gray air mass gradually outlines the outline of the fox-eared boy, but the shadow looks more solid, very close to the existence in the real world.

"I did everything you asked me to do."

As the fox-eared boy spoke, his eyes shone brightly as he stared at the plate of cakes in Chen Ye's hand, tears streaming down his lips.

"Okay, okay, take it and eat it."

Chen Ye was not stingy with the food. As a [Devil Cooker], the most important thing he lacked was food.

Hearing this, the fox-eared boy's eyes suddenly showed a joyful look, and he wolfed down the cake again, wanting to swallow the whole cake...

"Wow!"

Just after he ate the cream covering the outside, a snake suddenly jumped out from inside.

The fox-eared boy suddenly jumped up in fright. Like a frightened wild cat, he ran to the table leg at the back and screamed repeatedly.

"Snake...ahhhh...there is a snake!"

Chen Feng glanced at the coward and laughed secretly in his heart.

It's obviously the soul of a demon, but it turns out to be so cowardly...

I'm so embarrassed to say that you are a devil!

"Do you want to eat it? If you don't want to eat it, I'll take it away..." Chen Ye was about to leave holding the cake.

At this moment, the fox-eared boy realized that it was not a snake, but a kind of food. He couldn't help feeling falsely alarmed, and hurriedly approached:

"I eat! I eat!"

After swallowing, the fox-eared boy showed a satisfied look and praised:

“I’ve never tasted anything so delicious!”

[The fright value from "Yu Xian" is -250, and the surprise value is +250! 】

"Yuxian?"

Chen Ye pondered, and through the blood-colored mobile phone, he learned that this soul also had a name.

"Hey, how do you know my name?"

Yuxian heard Chen Ye whispering to himself, with a surprised look on his face:

"This is the name given to me by that adult. I probably haven't told other beings..."

"That lord?"

Chen Ye immediately realized that this should be the existence of a certain superior person, between the sequences of [Devil] and [Spirit Realm], and his personality should not be simple.

"Yes, he gave me my name."

"who is he?"

"Well...he said that I am not qualified to know that person's honorable name yet, but I only know that he is a very scary guy..."

Yu Xian's face showed a slightly complicated look, but there was a smile on his face:

"However, he is still very gentle..."

While listening to Yu Xian's description, Chen Ye used the Eye of Luck to observe the changes on his body.

After swallowing the "Snake Hair Cream Meat Loaf", you can clearly see that the purple energy connected to Yu Xian's body has become thicker and more obvious.

at the same time……

Even if you don't need to play [Heavenly Rites and Music], you can see the other person's specific image and communicate with him by just concentrating a little spiritual power.

This should be related to the "sacrifice" of [Devil's Cuisine]. As long as the devil's soul accepts this gift, some kind of contract will be formed.

Therefore, with the connection of this contract, Yuxian is different from other existences in the spiritual world. He only needs to concentrate his spiritual power to communicate with each other.

There is no need to go through the trouble of playing suona again...

"This shouldn't be a bad thing." Chen Ye thought to himself.

After all, as the benefactor, he naturally received Yuxian's help at the expense of food.

Although this guy still looks weak...

However, as an existence from another world, it is enough to be able to replace one's own sight and bring some information.

besides.

He saw that after Yu Xian devoured the [Devil Cuisine] he made, his energy was obviously stronger than at the beginning.

Perhaps, you can awaken other abilities later and use them for your own use.

Is this another form of cultivation?

Chen Ye couldn't help but feel weird in his heart. The protagonists in other online novels were either beauties or lolita. How could he develop a "devil's soul" in the form of a little boy?

A little too weird...

After a pause, Chen Ye seemed to remember something, looked at Yu Xian and asked in a deep voice:

"By the way, let me ask you, do you know what the dark door in the deepest part of the Blue Mountain Cafe looks like inside?"

Since Yuxian exists in the spiritual world, does that mean that he also came through the 'door'?

and.

This guy seems to have been staying near the Blue Mountain Cafe for a long time, maybe he can know something about that 'door'.

Yu Xian thought for a while, then suddenly showed a bit of fear and shook his head:

"I don't know what's in there... I've never been in there... I just feel like there's something very dangerous..."

Chen Ye pondered for a moment and fell into deep thought.

From this point of view, the situation at the 'door' seems to be more complicated than imagined. Even beings in the spiritual world will sense that there is danger there.

The truth and concepts about the 'door' have become more confusing.

Of course, it is also possible that this guy is too weak. I wonder if eating [Devil Cuisine] for a period of time can improve...

"You come here regularly to eat at midnight every night. If I have any instructions, I will communicate with you mentally."

Chen Ye looked at Yu Xian and said.

He sensed his own spiritual power. As long as he concentrated his thoughts, called in his heart, and followed the contract connected by the purple energy, he could summon the other party.

"Okay, if there's anything I can tell you at any time, but it's best if I can complete it..."

Yu Xian nodded, then turned into a mist, and the figure disappeared.

In the lingering air, there was a faint line of purple energy, connecting Chen Ye's black and yellow energy.

Compared with the beginning, Chen Ye felt that Yu Xian's energy was stronger, and his speech seemed to start to become more confident and confident.

Of course, this is only relatively speaking. After all, it is very rare to be frightened with a fright value of 250.

He is the coward among cowards!

"The harvest in these few days is not small."

Chen Ye took stock of what he had gained over the past few days with a smile on his face.

Sprinted to the top of the list, solved a difficult task, and further explored the large public dungeon of "Pollution Paradise".

After finding items with characteristics related to the spirit world, [Wandering Musician] was successfully promoted to a second-level profession, and also unlocked the special hidden ability of [Devil's Cuisine] to sacrifice the soul of demons.

The weirdness value exceeded 200,000 points, and it was nine meters per step. There was only the last 50,000 meters left in this month's phase of the mission, which was one million meters away.

besides……

Chen Ye took out the [Good Luck Dice] and [Red Gloves] from the Mountain Scroll.

He has kept these two characteristic items until now and has not used them yet.

At this moment, [Funeral Suona Man] seems to possess the dual conditions of "spirituality" and "spiritual power" at the same time, fully meeting the prerequisites for fusing these two materials...

"Ding!"

A message has popped up on the bloody mobile phone——

【You have new characteristics to integrate! 】

【Good Luck Dice】+【Red Gloves】=……

These two special items had been placed for such a long time, and Chen Ye had no chance to use them.

Now, back in my own "honest restaurant" with a stable environment and some time to spare, it's time to blend!

The next second, he no longer hesitated and combined these two items with new characteristics into a new one!
