Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 562 Task List
After all, in Li Miao's opinion, although Lingzhu did not give any hints, as a veteran game player, he had already seen many side quests.

If it is made into a panel, it must be like this:

[Main Mission: Waiting for the Cremation to arrive at its destination]

[Side Mission 1: Explore the Cremation]

[Side Mission 2: Talk to Vice Captain Fryer]

[Side Quest 3: Talk to Chef Lord Ciss]

[Side Quest 4: Talk with the Ancient Scholar Iota]

[Side Quest 5: Talk to the Female Warrior Kefuluo]

Mm, just right!

After making a task list for himself in his mind, Li Miao left the room and set off.

Click click click…

As soon as Li Miao went out, he saw a cremated skeleton walking towards him with a plate. There were some food such as chicken wings on the plate, which were obviously prepared for him.

"Thank you."

Li Miao didn't hesitate to pick up the food from the plate and put it into his mouth to eat, and patted the other person's shoulder blade.

But no one knew whether the opponent was too fragile or his current strength was too strong, the body of the cremation skeleton fell apart directly.

Fortunately, Li Miao was quick enough to catch the plate and prevent it from falling to the ground.

The cremated skeleton quickly reassembled its body and left as if nothing had happened.

"A bunch of skeletons can actually eat this food. How do they digest it? Pelvis..."

Li Miao picked up some fruit and threw it into his mouth, then shook his head with a smile.

Moving forward in the cabin, Li Miao soon came to a very noisy and bustling hall, where he saw a pile of cremated skeletons sitting around a large table, seemingly playing some game.

When Li Miao got closer, he immediately saw an acquaintance.

"Old Sith, what are you guys playing at?"

"It is you."

Seeing Li Miao coming, Old Sith was also very enthusiastic and quickly explained to him the game that the skeletons were playing.

This game is not complicated. To put it simply, it is about comparing the size of card combinations, but everyone on the Cremation uses shells with symbols engraved on the inside.

"Ha, you've come at the right time. These guys are very interested in what good things your guest has."

The old Sith said with a smile.

The other cremated skeletons also spoke up upon hearing this. Of course, they were not planning to rob Li Miao, they just wanted to gamble with him and win some special bets.

"Sure! That's exactly what I meant!"

Li Miao readily agreed. He brought a lot of things with him this time. If he could exchange them for the "specialties" on the cremation ship, he would definitely make a lot of money when he took them back.

Soon, the gambling began under the witness of Old Sith.

This kind of gambling game relies purely on luck. Fortunately, Li Miao's luck was pretty good. He lost one game but won four games in a row and won a lot of good things from the Cremated Skeleton.

It is worth mentioning that these cremated skeletons that are able to enter the gambling game are wearing some clothes, their intelligence is no different from that of ordinary people, and they even have their own names.

"Old Sith, do you want to gamble?"

At this time, Li Miao extended an invitation to Old Sith.

"Oh? What do you want to bet? I don't have anything valuable on my old bones." Old Sith laughed.

"How about this, if you lose, you tell me the story before you boarded the Cremation. If I lose, then this bottle of potion will be yours. How about that?"

Li Miao said with a smile. Old Sith was stunned for a moment, but soon agreed readily.

The gambling game began, but Li Miao started off badly and quickly lost a bottle of magic potion.

But he was not discouraged. He pulled Old Sith to try again, and this time his luck was pretty good.

After winning the bet, Li Miao directly pulled Old Sith to sit aside.

"You seem particularly interested in our affairs?" Old Sis took out a cigar from somewhere, lit it in his eye socket, and handed one to Li Miao.

"Yes, I have a friend who writes stories and is very interested in these things. He might write the story of the Cremation into a book."

"Of course, if it's inconvenient for you, forget it."

Li Miao casually made up a friend... Of course, it's not entirely fictional. After all, the storyteller is really interested in it. It's just that he doesn't write books, he only tells stories.

"That's not an inconvenience."

As the old Sith took a deep puff of his cigar, secondhand smoke gushed out from his ribs.

"I wasn't on the crematorium ship at the beginning. I boarded it after the disaster... which should be what you call the extinguishing moment."

"The place where I live is called Reneton. It was not affected by the disaster at the beginning. I and my children lived in the kitchen of the noble fortress as usual."

"But this does not mean that Reineton is safe. Although the border is collapsing very slowly, it is advancing continuously. At first, it was some useless areas, but gradually it advanced to farmland, our houses, pastures, and fisheries..."

Having said that, Old Sis put down the cigar in his hand.

"...As the resources for survival become increasingly scarce, the disaster of Reneton truly begins."

"More and more people are starving to death, but the nobles of Reneton are still holding on to the food of the entire region, and riots are caused by this."

"But the nobles relied on the captain of the guard to suppress the people bloodily and survived."

"Afterwards, someone came to me and asked me to poison the captain's food, and I agreed."

"The nobles were disintegrated and sent to the gallows, but I still worked in the kitchen, cooking food for the new rebels, but the objects of my work changed."

"No, maybe it hasn't changed..."

"After the rebels entered the fortress, the average food supply only lasted for a short time. Soon, they began to find various reasons to withhold food from others, and conflicts and bloodshed occurred again."

“I was approached again and asked to poison the food but I refused.”

"But unfortunately, due to the shortage of food, the ingredients on that day were not fresh, and the rebels who had stomachaches thought I was poisoning them, so..."

"They captured little Sith."

"Even after they found out the truth, they didn't let him go and tried to threaten me with it."

"Resources are becoming less and less, food is becoming scarcer, and there are fewer and fewer living things in Reneton."

Having said that, Old Sith looked at the ceiling in silence.

"Everyone was so hungry that they lost their minds and started killing each other just for the last bite of food."

"And I held on to my last hope to find Little Sith..."

"But I didn't find Little Sith in the prison. I only found his pendant and a pile of bone residue next to a chopping board. Not even the marrow was left..."

The old Sith lowered his head and took another deep breath of his cigar.

"Then the captain showed up and asked if I would be the cook on the Cremation."

"I agreed."

"I want to follow the captain to see what the purpose of this world is and why it forces people to become beasts..."
