Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 192 The God of Blasphemy's Technique is Wrong!

Chapter 192 The God of Blasphemy's Ingenious Skill... No, wait!
On the morning of August 12th.

After studying diligently all night and then meditating for the entire early morning, Chen Baiyu woke up.

According to the contract he signed with director Wang Zheng, he needs to officially participate in the wilderness survival program on August 16th and film for about 2-5 days.

We'll depart around August 15th for the meeting point in western Sichuan, where we'll discuss some details with the production team and make some preparations.

It's still early.

Chen Baiyu didn't need to worry about or consider those things; he simply went out shopping calmly.

The rising sun, like a fireball just freed from its restraints, leaped over the horizon, dyeing half the sky a scorching crimson, and even the air began to glow with a warm light.

Facing the rising sun.

Chen Baiyu strode out of the room and headed straight for the supermarket not far away.

Since upgrading to level 5.

He rarely went out to replenish his supplies.

After all, once you successfully advance to level 5, your omnipotent magic power will be enough to replenish your daily energy consumption, and you won't have the worry of your energy needs gradually increasing, forcing you to eat intensively.

After acquiring high-density energy like magic power from nothingness through visualization, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is a mini perpetual motion machine.

It is more advanced than eating the wind and drinking dew.

Because he draws energy from nothingness.

It is a true state of complete fasting, requiring no external assistance.

Having reached the state of abstaining from grains, he no longer consumes much of the resources needed for survival, and therefore basically does not need to go out to replenish his supplies.

but……

In reality, daily necessities are never just limited to essentials like rice, flour, cooking oil, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, and salt that provide energy.

Although replenishing energy already accounts for most of his resource needs, there are still some other living supplies that he needs to replenish.

These necessities are not related to energy intake, but they maintain daily order and basic comfort, and are also related to the life needs of the partner Platinum.

Therefore, he still needs to replenish supplies.

Under the bright lights of the supermarket.

Chen Baiyu pushed the shopping cart, her steps steady as she passed the shelves that exuded the tempting aroma of food.

His gaze did not linger on any snacks, fresh produce, or fast food.

Instead, he went straight to the cleaning supplies section and picked up several large rolls of thick garbage bags with a clear purpose.

After prolonged visualization, any occasional speckles of dust that may adhere to the skin should be cleaned promptly, and platinum's excrement should also be properly disposed of...

This makes him have a real need for garbage bags.

In addition, he also put the laundry detergent and disinfectant in the car.

Since he currently lacks a biological stance, getting covered in dust would truly make him dirty, so his clothes and the towels he occasionally uses still need to be washed.

In front of the toiletries shelf.

He chose unscented hand soap, shower gel, toothpaste, and toothbrush, purely to maintain the most basic personal hygiene habits.

I also bought quite a lot of tissues.

Even without the need for excretion and normal metabolism, tissues are still the biggest consumer item, used not only to wipe oneself but also to wipe other parts of the body.

Then, he turned to the pet area.

Chen Baiyu picked up a bag of high-quality Platinum dog food that Platinum had recently shown a preference for and that was nutritionally balanced.

Wet wipes and special waste bags are also essential.

When I saw the newly released educational food-dispensing ball toy.

He paused.

Considering that Platinum's intelligence level is now above that of ordinary mongrel dogs, and that it will definitely become smarter in the future, I casually took one.

At last.

He grabbed a few spare batteries from the general merchandise section for when he needed a wireless mouse or remote control, and also bought a thick notebook and a few pens.

After selecting the items he needed for his home, he pushed his cart full of things toward the cashier.

The shopping basket wasn't piled high with food.

Rather, it is all the basic guarantees needed to maintain the clean and orderly "ordinary" life of a modern hermit and his spiritual partner.

That's right.

Even hermits who consider themselves extraordinary and otherworldly need to make purchases.

It was not a complete reclusion.

After all, buddy, you need to understand.

Modern hermits do not necessarily live outdoors or work from sunrise to sunset.

My lord, times have changed.

What kind of hermit are you if you don't know how to shop at a supermarket?
With modern conveniences, if you live alone, you can live a secluded life in a rented room.

Moreover, even in ancient times...

The act of seclusion is something only those with houses, land, and money are qualified to do; those with nothing are called refugees or hooligans.

While thinking.

Chen Baiyu passed by the area where food was sold.

There is a wide variety of fruits and vegetables here, and not far away there are various meat counters.

Green cucumbers and round tomatoes are piled up in a styrofoam box, creating a vibrant arc.

Beneath the leaves glistening with morning dew, the orange-yellow pumpkins resembled rough pieces of honey.

The ribs in the freezer were a fresh pinkish-white, and the cured meat hanging next to them was dripping with oil.

Within the senses of a normal person.

The salty and savory flavor, mixed with the sweetness of fruits and vegetables, smells wonderful.

But for Chen Baiyu...

Given his increasingly unscientific sense of smell.

He could smell more of the unpleasant, outdated odors here, and he could tell that the smells here were not as pleasant as they seemed on the surface.

The tip of my nose brushed against the musty smell emanating from the blackened stem of the tomato, mixed with the fishy odor of frozen fish and shrimp in the frost-covered corner of the freezer, and the sour stench of a small piece of rotten meat soaked in oil beneath the cured pork...

These are the scents that, hidden beneath pleasant aromas, seem real but are not so pleasant.

They all pierced my sense of smell like fine needles.

Chen Baiyu did not have a fetish for eating feces.

Besides, he didn't need to eat, so he decided to ignore the place as usual and push the cart to the cashier to pay.

But the next moment.

A voice made him stop abruptly.

【drop! 】

[The 'Emerald Nightmare Crown' and the 'Core of the Eternal Curse' have been detected!]

【The Crown of Verdant Nightmare: This is a tangled cluster of decaying plant nerves, remnants of the ancient scavenging behemoth, the Swamp Devourer. Its shape is twisted like a crown, its color dull as jade defiled by shadows. The humic acid and the decaying aura of time it contains are enough to shatter even the palates of elves!】

The Core of Frozen Curse: Originating from the depths of the Endless Frost Abyss in the far north, it is a fragment of the remnant internal organs of the Zombie King - Flesh Dominator, eternally frozen. Over millennia, eroded by the flow of time and the power of frost, its internal structure has been altered, transforming into a cursed crystal bearing the laws of decay and death! Even the False Dust of Time covering its surface cannot conceal its ancient malice!

[You have triggered the advanced quest – Trial of the Blasphemous God IV]

[Quest Completion Conditions: Melt the false barrier of time on the surface of the eternally frozen cursed core with elemental fire; cut the Emerald Nightmare Crown into blasphemous fragments the size of a mortal's throat. Use abyssal harmonizing techniques to fuse the two forbidden substances, allowing their magic to catalyze each other and their curses to resonate. The resulting concerto of decay and death must be consumed entirely, leaving no residue!]

[Quest Reward: 300 experience points, title upgrade for Taste Martyr (Lv.3→Lv.4). After the title upgrade, in addition to increasing poison resistance by 10%, you will also gain a slight resistance to decay.]

[Mission Evaluation: Oh? Brave warrior, how merciful I am! I will no longer bestow upon you those trials that push your limits. Enjoy this Zombie King's frozen feast and the Devourer's legacy! This is a gift that transcends time! You will miss its taste, hahahahaha!]

Chen Baiyu's steps suddenly froze on the spot.

The cart wobbled slightly due to inertia, but he quickly pulled it firmly to keep it steady.

Wow, it really is you!

The god of blasphemy, though late, has arrived.

This is the most active and permanent series of missions he has ever experienced, and he had long anticipated the arrival of Trial of the God of Blasphemy 4.

Chen Baiyu sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation, then glanced at the corner of the freezer and the pile of vegetables next to it.

As is customary, the thing mentioned in the trial of the God of Blasphemy should be nearby.

So, thanks to his overdeveloped comprehension skills honed through long-term interaction with the system, he quickly identified what the system was referring to among the surrounding objects.

He saw several wilted, partially yellowed and blackened, vacuum-packed frozen broccoli florets in the corner, with some signs of rot at the roots.

This thing should be the Emerald Nightmare Crown.

Emmm...

If one possesses an abstract imagination like Van Gogh's, one might indeed find this thing to be quite "jade-like," and it certainly has a "nightmare" feel to it.

The green color resembles jade.

The listless part is like a nightmare.

Okay, he couldn't keep up the story.

While thinking.

Chen Baiyu's gaze quickly fell on the discount section next to her, where there was a stack of vacuum-packed frozen pork that didn't look very fresh.

The label had a blurry production date and the words "frozen for 12 months".

It looks frozen solid, and its color is dark brown.

Obviously.

This is the core of the eternal freeze curse, a piece of pork that has been frozen for a long time and therefore has seen a significant price drop.

See this.

Chen Baiyu frowned subconsciously.

Stir-fried zombie meat with zombie broccoli, that's definitely not a good thing.

But if you simply put these two things together, stir-fry them into a dish, and eat it, then consider it a trial mission from the God of Blasphemy...

That seems a bit too simplistic?
Chen Baiyu was not a masochist or a pica sufferer; he was simply curious, having grown accustomed to the torment of this mission, why this one didn't seem difficult.

This is something that's very concerning.

What kind of trap did you set, system?

Or have you really run out of ideas?

He fell silent.

I originally thought this time it would at least be plum jelly dipped in Coptis chinensis powder, or blue cheese, durian, and stinky tofu stew!
If this is really all the challenge is, it's nothing compared to drinking two liters of the 'End of All Flavors'!
It seems the god of blasphemy is using some kind of ingenious trick... Wait a minute!
The disdain on his face hadn't fully manifested yet.

Those keywords in the system's copy pierced his brain like ice picks.
"The erosion of a thousand years of time"...

"The Dust of False Time"...

"The label cannot conceal its ancient malice"...

"Zombie King - Master of Flesh and Blood"...

"The Law of Decay and Death"...

Chen Baiyu's pupils suddenly contracted.

His super intelligence allowed him to quickly grasp the full meaning of the system task.

His exceptional eyesight immediately focused on the label of the vacuum-frozen meat.

The blurry words "frozen and stored for 12 months" seem to be what the system refers to as "dust of false years".

So……

Why is it fake?

Does this mean the label is misleading? The actual frozen storage time couldn't possibly be that long?

If you think about it that way...

Oh no! I get it!

Fuck!
This stuff is definitely not ordinary meat that's been frozen for a year!
This label is definitely fake!

This is "zombie meat" that has been sitting for who knows how many years!
Maybe seven or eight years?

Even longer?!

The pig might be older than him, who knows?

The system's description of the "zombie king" might not be just a childish figure of speech; at least some parts of it are quite apt.

Such cases of ultimate zombie meat are not uncommon.

Chen Baiyu had heard about the dark side of the cold storage supply industry.

Anyone who has worked in the cold storage supply chain knows this.

If your frozen goods company goes bankrupt but you still have frozen goods, you can simply sell them cheaply to a new company, repackage them, and extend their shelf life for several more years.
So-called capitalists are just that heartless.

They often don't care about food safety at all; all they have on their minds is profit and efficiency.

"hiss……"

Think of this.

Chen Baiyu couldn't help but gasp.

The air conditioning in the supermarket felt even colder, as if it were creeping up my spine.

He wasn't afraid.

This aged pork and broccoli would most likely not kill an ordinary person even if they ate it.

With his powerful physique and enhanced poison resistance, he naturally wouldn't be afraid to eat this thing.

However, Chen Baiyu couldn't help but let her mind wander.

He looked at the strangely colored, frozen meat, which resembled a stone, inside the vacuum-packed container, and then at the "Jade Nightmare" broccoli with its blackened roots.

A hint of seriousness crept into his eyes.

Blanch! Blasphemy against the god of flavor!

You really know how to torture people!
Chen Baiyu understood perfectly well that eating this thing would most likely not cause any problems.

Even in terms of taste, it probably won't be too bad, just a little unappetizing.

But this time the torment wasn't about taste.

It lies in the mind.

When he, a person whose thinking and mental capacity make him prone to overthinking, realizes that the thing he's eating is probably older than himself.

What might be on their mind?

Regardless, it will definitely feel uncomfortable, like having a thorn stuck in your throat.

Especially when he discovered that the discount on this thing wasn't that great, he felt even more dissatisfied and unhappy.

However, to be honest...

It actually makes a lot of sense that eating this thing will give you some [decay resistance].

After all, you are what you eat...

These are all things that have stood the test of time.

Chen Baiyu complained helplessly.

His expression didn't change, but instead became one of resignation.

He took a deep breath and tossed the tagged frozen meat and the broccoli with its blackened roots into his shopping cart.

The cart made a soft "creak" sound.

It's as if it's playing the prelude to the culinary hell that's about to begin.
