Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

"The stealing cat demon? This is the second-level profession of [Stealer] sequence!"

"The first-turn [Stealer] and the first-turn monster sequence [Night Cat Demon] are merged."

"Has invisibility, wall penetration, and skilled theft skills."

"My store was robbed by a thief!"

When Chen Ye saw the [Stealing Cat Demon] appearing in front of him, he immediately thought of something, and his eyes immediately fell on the red text prompt.

In the halo of luck, the outline of a petite and thin cat lady with cat ears and a cat tail was outlined.

I seem to feel Chen Ye’s gaze...

The cat girl was obviously stunned for a moment, as if she realized that she had been discovered, and instinctively took a few steps back.

The next second...

Chen Ye's face exploded and turned into tentacles, sweeping away towards the location where the bloody words appeared!

"not good!"

A faint exclamation suddenly came from the invisible air.

The outline of the blood-red figure immediately lowered itself, right next to the edge of the demon's tentacles, and dodged the blow.

A few black hairs fell to the ground!

Although Chen Ye's side teeth failed to hit the invisible cat lady, he cut off a few hairs!

The next second.

The cat girl jumped a few times with her agile body, and nimbly found a way to survive from the attack of the devil's mouthparts. She shuttled through in threes and fives, her ghostly figure and extremely dexterous.

She escaped to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the "Integrity Restaurant" and planned to use her ability to walk through walls to leave directly.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened!

Just when the cat girl was about to rush in...

The floor-to-ceiling glass window was suddenly completely enveloped by strange ink-colored tentacles!

One by one, the dark tentacles were constantly squirming, as if they were alive, and they were winding towards the cat lady.

The cat girl was immediately frightened. She was very dangerous. As a "cat creature", she had a keen sixth sense for danger. She immediately jumped away and avoided the arms of the tentacles.

With her nimble figure, she already appeared on the other side of the store with just one step.

However, when the cat girl turned around, her expression suddenly froze, and her pupils reflected something terrifying...

The entire restaurant was shrouded in wriggling ink tentacles...

The tentacles were everywhere, covering the floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doorways, wrapping the ceiling above and the ground below.

Even the direction of the stairs and the bar... almost every corner visible is covered in ink tentacles!

"Oops……"

The cat girl was at a loss and sweating profusely.

The entire store is wrapped in ink tentacles...

Although she has the ability to pass through walls, there is absolutely no way she can pass through a bunch of sticky tentacles...

You will definitely be caught!

But the entire shop was wrapped in ink tentacles, and the shop owner with an indescribable monster on his face stepped towards him in a dangerous manner...

There seems to be no escape!

Puff puff!

Before the cat girl had time to think about an escape route, the tentacles on the ground suddenly covered her feet...

The cat girl was shocked and wanted to run away.

But these sticky tentacles firmly grasped her slender ankle that could be easily circled with her thumb and index finger. With a sudden force, not only could she not escape, but she also fell down due to the inertia of rushing forward. On the ground, the entire soft body suddenly fell head-on towards the tentacles.

At that moment, the black tentacles immediately wrapped around the cat girl's limbs, like a devil's hand, pinching her long and thin neck.

"Cough cough cough!"

The black tentacles suspended the cat girl's body in mid-air, not only restraining her limbs but also blocking her neck.

The cat girl couldn't breathe, and coughed one after another. Her invisible posture could no longer be maintained, and her original shape was revealed.

She looks to be no more than twelve years old, with slightly dark skin, and her facial features are not exquisite, but she has the unique tenderness and delicacy of a girl of this age. The slender arms and ankles were dressed in black tight clothes, but the hands and feet were in the shape of cat's claws. The area under the belly without any fat was exposed, exposing the navel.

There are still traces of cream remaining next to the corners of the flat and thin mouth.

It seemed that he had just enjoyed a delicious meal.

The cat's tail at the back seemed to be frightened, swaying continuously in mid-air, sometimes curled up, sometimes raised, as if it was panicked and frightened.

Click! Click!

The surrounding lights were restored, and the soft and warm light illuminated the entire restaurant again.

The tentacles on the walls, ceiling, and doorway receded like the tide.

However, the ink-colored tentacles wrapped around the cat girl showed no signs of relaxing.

After all... the opponent is the [Stealing Cat Demon], which combines the invisibility of the [Stealer] with the dexterity of the [Night Cat Demon].

Fortunately, this is my own "honest restaurant".

If you let this thing get outside, it would be really difficult to catch it.

"It's over, it's over!"

At this moment, the cat girl had a desperate expression on her face.

She was just hungry and saw that there was no boss in this restaurant and the cakes on the window were very delicious.

Having unlocked the [Cat Demon] attribute of the ‘monster’ sequence, my appetite increased and I became extremely greedy!

I was hungry, and when I saw such an exquisite and delicious cake, I couldn't help it, so I ran in and took a few bites.

But because it was so delicious... As I was eating, I forgot about myself. I planned to eat until I was full first, then take a few pieces of cake away, pack them back, and eat them later!

However, I didn't expect that the shop owner I met would be such a ruthless character!

What the hell are those tentacles? They are so terrifying. They have blocked all escape routes and made it impossible to escape!

He also entangled himself in mid-air, unable to move and unable to resist...

Moreover, the guy's face exploded, it was so terrifying!

Combined with the tentacles of the restaurant...

The cat girl felt despair.

There is a high probability that I have provoked a perverted profession!

This time it can be said that the sheep has entered the tiger's mouth... No, it should be said that the "cat" has entered the tiger's mouth.

But in this case, if the other party is really a pervert with some special quirks, then this life may be saved.

However……

Looking at the ink-colored tentacles beside him, and then looking at the demonic mouthparts flying in the air like catkins on the other person's face...

This thing shouldn't be very comfortable, right?

When the cat girl thought of this, her face became even more desperate. She didn't know for a moment whether she should die or live a miserable life.

Just when the cat girl had all kinds of strange movie scenes in her mind, and her imagination was running wild...

Chen Ye couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.

This face... looks familiar!

It seems like I have seen it somewhere?

Closing his eyes, Chen Ye mobilized his majestic spiritual power and began to recall various details.

In the flash of lightning, a memory suddenly emerged, and the hazy picture suddenly became clear...

The cat girl's face gradually overlapped with that of a familiar figure!

"It's actually her?" Chen Ye remembered.

When he went to Xijiang for the first time to fetch water, a girl in ragged clothes begged for a sip of water.

The girl said her name was Shen Meng...

She looks exactly like the cat girl in front of me!

But the difference is...

Shen Meng is now wearing an explosive cat girl costume. Her thin and fragile body, dark skin, and devilish lines match the sharp cat claws, the cat ears on her head, and the high raised cat tail. , revealing a primitive sexiness and extremely powerful visual impact.

At the beginning, Chen Ye thought that Shen Meng was a wanderer like himself.

But I didn’t expect that the other party turned out to be a thief!

If you think about it carefully, there are similarities between [thief] and [wanderer]. If your life is not in a certain level of poverty, who would risk your life to steal property?

at this time.

The demonic mouthparts floating like catkins gradually gathered together and turned into the face of a handsome young man.

Shen Meng looked a little stunned.

She never expected that this scary guy was so young and looked like he was not much older than her. At most, he could be an older brother.

Even among the stars of various movies and TV shows that I watched in my previous life, it would be difficult to find such a boyish face.

It's like a male protagonist jumping out of a comic book.

"What's your name?" Chen Ye asked.

Is this considered interrogating a prisoner?

Faced with this problem, Shen Meng was stunned, thinking about whether to give a false name. But she took a look at the rules of the "Integrity Restaurant", hesitated, and answered honestly:

"My name is Shen Meng..."

It is indeed her... Chen Ye thought to himself, but his clothes have changed a lot from those days, and the outline of his facial features has been slightly changed with the [Devil Mask].

It is slightly different from when it first arrived.

The other party does not have such a strong memory, so it is normal for him not to recognize him after more than a month.

What's more, when he and Shen Meng met by chance, they just exchanged a few mouthfuls of water. It was not considered a friendship, let alone a relationship between acquaintances.

There is no need to talk about these things.

Chen Ye glanced at the cake behind him and said indifferently: "Ten cakes, three hundred copper coins."

"Ah?" Shen Meng looked confused.

"After you finish eating, pay." Chen Ye said coldly.

"Sorry... that... I don't have money..." Shen Meng showed a look of guilt and despair. If she had money, she wouldn't steal food.

"You should know the price of breaking the restaurant's rules, right?"

As soon as Chen Ye finished speaking, the light bulb above suddenly dimmed, and the light source flickered erratically, shining on his face, making him look as terrifying as a demon.

He laughed playfully: "Then you should know what effects will be triggered if you fail to follow the principle of equivalent exchange, right?"

The tentacles seemed to turn into the mouthparts of the abyss, constantly approaching Shen Meng, as if they wanted to swallow the girl.

"sorry!"

"I really don't have any money left..."

"伱...whatever price you want me to pay...I can accept it..."

"But I don't want to be eaten..."

As she spoke, Shen Meng's voice became as quiet as the buzz of a mosquito, as if she had made a difficult decision.

I have no money...

That seems to be the only value in his body, right?

But thinking of that young man's handsome face, Chen Meng's cheeks suddenly turned red. After struggling a few times, he felt that it was not unacceptable.

It's better than death!

Chen Ye raised his eyebrows: "It seems that you are already prepared to pay the price."

"Yes... whatever you want to do, it's up to you."

"That's what you said."

Suddenly, Shen Meng felt his hands and feet loosen up, and the tentacles covering his body suddenly loosened up.

"uh-huh……"

Her body lost her balance and fell to the ground like a cat lying on the ground.

The next second.

Chen Ye scratched his index finger with his teeth.

A drop of bright red blood transformed into the devil's contract in the void, floating in front of Shen Meng.

"Sign it and that's what you pay for."

Chen Meng's pupils reflected the contract, and she was suddenly stunned.

It's as if if you look carefully, your mind will be trapped in a whirlpool.

After a while.

When she came back to her senses, she was suddenly shocked.

"Devil contract?"

"Could it be that... the cake shop owner in front of me is a third-level [Devil Arbiter]?"

"Oh my god! It's actually the third level! This is too scary!"

"Chen Meng, Chen Meng, why are you so unlucky that you provoked a Level 3 demon!"

"If you sign this devil's contract, you will really be at the mercy of the other party. You will be the other party's person in life, and your ghost in death..."

Shen Meng couldn't express the pain in her heart. She naturally knew that the [Devil Contract] was the most domineering contract in the strange era!

Generally speaking, contracts serve as fair evidence of transactions.

The [Light Judge] of the [Fierce Sun] sequence uses the astral body to communicate with the Lord of the Fierce Sun, make a contract, and abide by the promise.

But the [Moon], which is the opposite of the [Fierce Sun], can also acquire similar characteristics if it can be fused with the [Devil].

Moreover, compared to the fairness and equality of [Fierce Sun], [Devil Contract] breaks the principle of equivalence and is more domineering, which is equivalent to selling one's soul to the devil!

If you were in the game of Strange Era, signing the [Devil Contract] would be almost the same as the end of the game.

"Well, when I buy a cake this time, I can say that I put my whole body into it."

Shen Meng sighed, and then his eyes fell on the terms of this [Devil Contract]:

【Devil Contract——】

[1. Player ‘Chen Meng’ will become a restaurant employee permanently, with a monthly salary of fifty copper coins; ]

[2. Do not cause any adverse impact on the store owner, including disclosing any information to the outside world or making harmful actions;]

[3. Obey all work arrangements and outing tasks of our store, and do not refuse except under special circumstances;]

[4. The contract is permanently effective and requires both parties to reach an agreement before it can be canceled;]

[5. If you violate the contract, you will be punished by soul annihilation! 】

"This condition... doesn't seem to be as extreme as imagined!"

Shen Meng looked at the terms of this [Devil Contract] and couldn't help but be stunned.

In addition to complying with all arrangements and tasks of the store, other terms are relatively acceptable.

even……

After becoming an employee, will you still get a monthly salary of fifty copper coins?

This is a development that Shen Meng had never thought of.

You must know that the [Devil Contract] is a contract that is not bound by the rules of equivalence at all.

They are usually overlord clauses!

But this [Devil Contract] is not as overbearing as imagined, but rather very benevolent.

"You're lucky today."

"After all, my restaurant is still open, and I am the only boss in charge, so there is insufficient manpower."

"From today on, you will officially become an employee of our store. Although the salary is not much, you must obey the arrangements. Do you understand?"

Chen Ye spoke in an irresistible tone.

"understand!"

Chen Meng nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice.

Anyway...

I am lucky enough to be able to save my life!

Moreover, the other party is willing to offer me such a high monthly salary, which is so conscientious!

That damn gang leader had so many employees under him. They all fought hard for a month, but in the end they ran away without even receiving their wages.

Otherwise, as a second-level professional, I would not be reduced to stealing food...

In fact.

The reason why Chen Ye chose to pay wages was also to avoid the situation of inequality.

After all, he has been exposed to the "Destiny" sequence. Even if the [Devil Contract] can avoid negative effects, it is best not to leave any loopholes.

With his current rate of making money, his salary of fifty copper coins a month is already considered very low.

and……

In exchange for a second job, unconditional help.

[Stealing Cat Demon], as a [thief] with relatively active mobility, will not only have combat power in the future, but also unlock the ability to temporarily steal characteristics!

Staying by your side can serve as a powerful boost.

Spend fifty copper coins to eliminate any possible negative effects and get an excellent booster to assist you. It may have a miraculous effect on conquering dungeons in the future.

Moreover, in Shen Meng's eyes, fifty copper coins a month was considered a lot.

It also allows the other party to stay by your side with peace of mind and act as a support staff.

Although "honest shops" are protected by real estate, they still have to worry about "thieves" like Shen Meng coming in.

If you want to designate a strategy plan, you can't stay in the store 24 hours a day, right?

By the time……

Having employees to help look after the store and take care of the business is undoubtedly the best choice.

Shen Meng bit his finger, wrote his name in blood, and signed it on the lower right corner of the [Devil Contract]...

at this time……

A gloomy wind suddenly emerged, and the contract erupted into a burst of light, turning into a restraining chain and clasping it around Shen Meng's neck.

If the contract is violated, in addition to the annihilation of the soul, the neck chain transformed by the contract will immediately crush the other party's head, causing double death of body and consciousness.

For mid- to low-rank players, there are almost no life-saving means to escape from the shackles of the [Devil Contract].

As long as you violate the contract, you will almost certainly die!

"Chen Meng, come and show the cat demon's fighting ability." Chen Ye said slowly.

[The Stealing Cat Demon] possesses the most advanced dexterous combat power among the second-level professions.

When reality comes, he needs to recalculate his speed so that he can use the most correct operation to fight.

"Yeah." Although Shen Meng didn't know what the new boss wanted to do, he signed the [Devil Contract] and had no choice but to do whatever the other party said.

Even if it is a new job...

The next second, her body was lying on the ground, suddenly bursting out with astonishing speed, sometimes jumping to the other side, sometimes lying on the wall, her figure "soared" and gracefully fell from the air, and when she landed, the cat claws swung out several times. The sharp cold light can easily penetrate wooden tables and cement bricks. If the speed is faster, it can even break the steel plate in two!

Activate [Air Stealing]...

Not far away, a bone suddenly appeared in Shen Meng's mouth. She bit the bone and lay on the ground with all four limbs, but her back was arched off the ground. She arched her back like a wild cat with explosive fur, as if preparing for a blow. He fired the crossbow, seized the opponent's weapon, and bit it in his mouth. His focused pupils stood in a line, as if he was ready to attack at any time.

Boom, boom, boom!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Shen Meng's movements immediately stopped, and she followed Chen Ye's gaze towards the gate.

I saw a middle-aged man wearing chef's clothing, with a round face and a simple look, looking like a chef, standing under the crimson moonlight.

A bright red box appeared above the opponent's head——

【Delicious Chef】

Chen Ye realized something, opened the door, looked at the other person up and down, and asked:

"King Realm?"

"Boss?"

"So it's you, why didn't you send me a message before coming?" Chen Ye suddenly realized, remembering that he had sent a message to Wang Jing yesterday, asking him to come to the "Integrity Restaurant".

Unexpectedly... I stayed in the spiritual sea for too long, so I only came back now.

"Hahaha, it's time to meet the boss!" Wang Jing followed Chen Ye into the restaurant and explained with a smile, "I knew the boss had a lot of strategies. I came over during the day and saw that you were not there. I won’t be back for a while, so I specially waited until the evening to come back.”

At this moment, Wang Jing's eyes moved slightly downward and he suddenly froze.

The girl lying on the ground has cat ears, cat claws, and a cat tail... She wears tight clothes that reveal her perfect curves, her navel is exposed, and she wears a collar around her neck. Most importantly, she has a... Holding a bone in his mouth, his wild posture looks like a dog or a cat...

Wang Jing suddenly felt that he might have come at the wrong time in the middle of the night...

As expected of a boss, you have such a great time!
