Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 257 The Transformation Through Physical Training: Xia Fa Starts Eating Secret Contracts? Wait, Secret Contracts can be eaten?

A family favored by the gods, as the name suggests, is a family that is blessed by the righteous gods.

The biggest difference between the divinely favored family and other extraordinary families is that... almost every head of the family holds the position of Pope or Patriarch of the nine major churches!

Therefore, both Emperor Sharatul and Pope Nidhogg had naturally heard of the "great being" that the Silver Church and the Absolute Church were earnestly seeking.

But since they hadn't witnessed it firsthand, the gods they each served only issued divine decrees, instructing them to search as much as possible, but also telling them not to rush.

Therefore, both Emperor Sharatul and Pope Nidhogg held a wait-and-see attitude towards this matter, wanting to find out but remaining hesitant.

Of course, a big reason is that it's too hard to find and too dangerous.

Haven't you seen how Patriarch Osius and Pope Hercules searched for so long and found nothing?

But at that very moment, just as Emperor Sharatul and Pope Nidhogg witnessed the black hole vanishing as rapidly as a sand dune swept away by a raging storm—

They finally understood why Patriarch Osius and Pope Hercules had been so frantically and fervently searching the entire universe for the traces of that "great being"!
This kind of power...

"This must be power that surpasses the level of an Outer God, right? Although it's still far inferior to that of a True God, but..."

Pope Nidhogg murmured to himself. This middle-aged man with thick, black hair and metal dragon horns on his head, who was usually resolute and steadfast, was now unusually absent-minded.

Seeing that Holy Emperor Sharatul did not respond to Him, and of course He did not expect Holy Emperor Sharatul to respond, Pope Nidhogg casually grabbed and immediately rescued the young people of the Star Dragon Clan who were trapped by the "Eternal Conditions," and brought them back to His side.

Although they were rescued, the young people, led by Karulong, remained stunned, as if they hadn't yet reacted.

Because... they were all staring at the edge of that natural star field in the far distance, at a black hole that had already dissipated by a small portion.

"Uncle, is this the work of an Outer God? Why... is reality not corrupted?"

Karulon murmured a question in a daze. Pope Nidhogg was His father's older brother, so He usually addressed him as "Uncle".

On the other hand, the young master of the Starry Sky Dragon Clan is none other than Norton Dragon, the younger brother of Karulong. Therefore, Karulong holds a highly respected position within the Starry Sky Dragon Clan.

Upon hearing Karulon's question, Pope Nidhogg shook his head and sighed:

"Do you remember the great being I told you about?"

Karu's dragon-tiger body trembled:
"This...this is that great being...holding another ascension ceremony?"

Pope Nidhogg nodded slightly.

"Being able to absorb such a massive black hole with ease, without causing any real-world pollution, now you understand why this being is called a 'great being,' right?"

The young people of the Starry Sky Dragon Clan nodded in awe, as if they were shocked by the miracle, and at the same time, they listened to the words of the patriarch.

At this moment, Emperor Shalatu's gaze seemed to span countless light-years as he looked at the black hole at the edge of the natural star field, which had already dissipated by half.

The Natural Star Region, adjacent to the Wright Star Region, is also one of the major star regions in the universe.

In the natural star field, there are three inhabited planets, each possessing an earthly divine kingdom established by three righteous gods: [Error Rules], [Temporary Reality], and [First History].

This is also the biggest reason why the natural star field can become one of the most prosperous star fields in the universe.

But at this moment, who could have imagined that the unknown "great being" who always held the various steps of the ascension ceremony in the Wright Starfield would actually... suddenly come to the Natural Starfield?

"Could it be that this great being came here specifically for this black hole?"

Emperor Sharatu murmured, his face still showing shock, but his eyes were thoughtful.

Anfion, who had been standing respectfully behind the head of the family, also agreed:
"Possibly, after all, this black hole is one of the largest black holes in our star system."

This black hole is called the Huyogi Black Hole; just hearing the name tells you how huge it must be.

In fact, it is the existence of the Huyogi black hole that balances the stress points caused by the collision of gravity in the natural star field, the Wright star field, and the Gaia star field.

Otherwise, these three star systems might collide with each other, cancel each other out, and partially merge.

And now, the Huyuji Black Hole... is about to be completely absorbed by that great being!
At that moment, the remaining small portion of the Huyuji black hole suddenly vanished completely, like a sand dune flattened by a gale.

The Huyogi black hole, which can be considered one of the largest black holes in the entire universe, was actually split into countless tiny black holes, which directly entered the Protoss Realm and were attracted to the unknown distance.

Attracted to...that great being!
With the disappearance of the Huyogi black hole, the three star regions—the Wright Star Region, the Natural Star Region, and the Gaia Star Region—are about to collide.

Just then, silvery-white starlight appeared, right where the Huyuji black hole had disappeared, like the Milky Way coming from the depths of the cosmos, beautiful and sublime.

Under some supreme power, the "gravity" of the three star regions was rebalanced, and the impact of the disappearance of the Huyogi black hole was thus easily erased.

Both Emperor Sharatul and Pope Nidhogg were startled. Given their status as servants of the Paradox Clown and the False Rules, and their occasional access to forbidden and secret knowledge, they realized something was amiss.

This was... the intervention of the [Silver Universe] among the nine great gods, helping that unknown "great being" to offset the effects of the Huyuji Black Hole being swallowed by this great being!
Seeing that the miracle had completely disappeared, both of them withdrew their gaze from the edge of the natural star field.

"In the beginning, I remember... this great being shattered a completely barren planet devoid of life and absorbed its essence..."

Emperor Sharatul murmured, seemingly analyzing:
"Shattering a life-bearing planet is something even a god could do, but extracting the essence that has been nurtured within it for thousands of years requires methods that are close to those of an Outer God."

"And the second time, this great being intervened, shattering and absorbing a space large enough to contain a supernova... This is also a method between that of a god and an outer god."

"The third time, Osius and Hercules witnessed it firsthand, saying that this great being absorbed a small, desolate star field, which is something only an Outer God could do."

"And now, He can even directly absorb the Huyugi black hole..."

"This is something no ordinary Outer God could do. It means that this great being is on the path to becoming a true god!"

"Moreover, all His methods never pollute reality in the slightest!"

Upon reaching this point in his analysis, Emperor Shalatu was both deeply shaken and his gaze suddenly turned fervent.

"Amphion, quickly, pass on the order that all members of the Gilgamesh family should keep a close eye on the whereabouts of this great being! If you find anything, contact me immediately via the Heart Envelope!"

Not far away, Pope Nidhogg made the same decision:
"If any of you finds a way to truly grant me an audience with this great being, I will grant your son or daughter the opportunity to house the Core Gold Star Dragon!"

Upon hearing this, both Karulong and the other young people from the Star Dragon Clan were stunned for a moment, and then became completely excited!

The Core Gold Starry Sky Dragon is second only to the Living Silver Starry Sky Dragon among all Starry Sky Dragons!
Even the patriarch Nidhogg, who houses a nuclear-type Star Dragon, has metal-shaped dragon horns on his head.

If it weren't for the fact that once each member of the Starry Sky Dragon family has chosen a Starry Sky Dragon to house, they couldn't change it, and they would all want to replace it with one after they got it!
"I will obey the patriarch's decree!"

These young people knelt down in unison, their voices echoing through the starry sky, as if they couldn't wait to search for the traces of that great being!
Emperor Shalatu, seeing this scene from afar, couldn't help but show an indifferent expression:

“Nidhogg, I have a feeling that even if you do find that great being, He might not be willing to let you have an audience.”

Pope Nidhogg gave him a cold glance:
"That's exactly what I was thinking of saying to you. You don't really think that the bloodline of your Gilgamesh family is so noble, do you?"

Emperor Shalatu said with a half-smile:

"At least, we are more noble than some families that need to accommodate star dragons. After all, we, the Gilgamesh family, can stand on equal footing with you without relying on the power of star dragons."

Pope Nidhogg's face was resolute, his eyes cold, but he showed no anger, only letting out two cold laughs.

On the contrary, young people like Karulon felt humiliated, clenched their fists, and spoke out indignantly.

"Why bring this up? If someone from your Gilgamesh family also possessed the extraordinary talent of [Supernatural Body], could you really tolerate not tolerating the Star Dragon?"

"Sour grapes."

"To stand on equal footing? I don't see it that all these years, haven't the young people of your Gilgamesh family been constantly being suppressed and beaten by the young people of our Starry Dragon family at the Extraordinary Academy?"

In this situation, Emperor Sharatu naturally couldn't refute him. As the head of a divinely favored family, it would be beneath his dignity to argue with the young members of that family.

Amphion, however, gave his tribesmen a look and immediately launched into a verbal battle.

"No matter what, your family did indeed accommodate the Star Dragon, right? Our family certainly didn't, right? You don't seem to be much stronger than our family either, so what are you pretending for?"

"Yes, yes, as humans, and with the power of the Star Dragon, they are only slightly better than our Gilgamesh family, and that's only in the last few years. Before, they were suppressed and beaten by our Gilgamesh family. I don't know what they are so proud of."

"Let me tell you, in our Gilgamesh family, these supernatural creatures, the Star Dragons, are only for eating and for extracting their heart's blood!"

Seeing that the Gilgamesh family and the Star Dragon family were about to really start arguing, Pope Nidhogg's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice:
"All right."

Although the words were spoken in a calm tone and not very loudly, both the Gilgamesh family and the Star Dragon family fell silent instantly.

The majesty of the Emperor of Mystery, and the majesty of the Emperor of Mystery who was only five secret contracts away from becoming the Great Emperor of Mystery, was revealed without a doubt at this moment.

Pope Nidhogg gave Emperor Sharatul one last glance.

"If your Gilgamesh family is truly of such noble blood, why hasn't a second Mystic Emperor been born in tens of thousands of years? Moreover, one of the only two Celestial Saints in history came from our Starry Dragon family, not your Gilgamesh family. You haven't produced a single one."

He coldly uttered these words, then with a wave of his sleeve, he teleported away with the members of the Starry Sky Dragon Clan.

However, these words were undoubtedly extremely damaging. Even though Pope Nidhogg and the Star Dragon family had left, Amphion and the other members of the Gilgamesh family immediately felt their blood boil and their faces flushed red.

The Gilgamesh family was able to become a family favored by the gods, and especially to stand at the pinnacle of the universe alongside the Star Dragon family and the Secret Eye family for tens of thousands of years, all because of the nobility of their bloodline.

In other words, the Gilgamesh family... does not actually possess the top-tier extraordinary talents that everyone in the universe envies, such as the [Supernatural Body] of the Star Dragon family and the [Secret Eye] of the Secret Eye family. What they have is only [Bloodline Divine Healing].

However, the Gilgamesh family was still able to become so powerful because their bloodline was noble enough!
This bloodline is noble enough, specifically the Gilgamesh family... which is more likely to produce geniuses capable of signing hegemon-level secret contracts!
However, those who emerge from the Gilgamesh family are only young overlords or extraordinary monarchs who can sign a single overlord-level secret contract.

The last emperor in the family who could sign two hegemonic-level secret contracts was more than ten thousand years ago, and he had long since died of old age.

Moreover, as Pope Nidhogg said, the Gilgamesh family prides itself on its noble bloodline and that its members are more likely to sign a supreme-level secret pact. However, the only two Divine Spirits in history were not from the Gilgamesh family, but rather from the Nidhogg family.

That was the Destiny Holy Spirit who escaped into the Celestial Spirit Realm due to losing control, and whose whereabouts and fate remain unknown to this day.

Of course, to be precise, it was a Heavenly Saint Venerable, after all, he had already signed thirty secret contracts.

"What a jerk! It's only because I'm just a transcendent monarch that I'm here. If I were the Great Emperor of Mystery, I'd beat Nidhogg to a pulp!"

Amphion was so angry that his white beard trembled, and he gritted his teeth with bloodshot eyes.

As one of the elders with a rather volatile temper, he couldn't stand this kind of sarcastic remarks.

However, Nidhogg simply stated the facts without exaggeration, which only fueled Amphion's resentment.

Suddenly, Anfion glanced over and saw that the head of the family was actually relaxed and natural, without any sign of anger or annoyance.

Amphion was taken aback. Despite his own volatile temper, Amphion knew that when Emperor Sharatul was angry, he was like a roaring lion, and no one dared to provoke him.

Normally, the head of the family would be most averse to the topic Nidhogg had just mentioned, so why was he so calm this time?
"Master, why are you..."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Shalatu smiled faintly, but a flush appeared on his old face:
“Amphion, why are you so angry? Let me tell you the truth, when it comes to noble bloodlines, our Gilgamesh family is still number one.”

Amphion asked, puzzled:

"This...why?"

A doting smile appeared in Emperor Shalatu's old eyes, which held a deep, piercing light. He gazed at the starry sky, thinking of his great-grandson, Shafa, who had simultaneously signed the [Silver Throne] and the [Gate of the Stars], and smiled with considerable pride.
"You'll find out in ten days or so."

……

Wright Starfield, Caligi, Baron Ocean.

On Sandworm Island in the Worm Islands, in the City of a Thousand Stars, in an Emperor Suite of the Lushuri Grand Hotel.

The bathroom was spotless, with smooth, shiny white tiles, upon which stood an extremely thick red and silver star shell.

It was clearly a red and silver sphere the size of a house, but it stood still on the smooth tile floor, showing no sign of rolling. The pungent smell of red and silver mingled with the fragrance in the bathroom.

But at that moment, a heart-wrenching scream of pain emanated from the red and silver sphere.

The roar seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth; just hearing it made one imagine the arduous trials the person was enduring.

"Sixty...nine!!!"

Inside the red and silver star shell, the air seemed to be sprinkled with gold dust, reflecting a faint light.

Below the horizontal bar, Xia Fazheng gripped the metal bar firmly with both hands, not allowing himself even the slightest chance to let go.

He was filled with both surprise and delight, a surprise that even outweighed the pain from the intense muscle soreness throughout his body.

Because, Xia Fa never expected that today, according to his spiritual intuition, when it was not a good day to exercise, he not only did sixty-five pull-ups, but was about to break through to seventy!

Logically speaking, this should have been a progress that could only be made after a period of rest and recuperation, but unexpectedly, it has been achieved now!
Of course, it hasn't been fully achieved yet.

Just one more...

Just one more!

A sharp pain shot through his brain, his vision suddenly went black, and a feeling of wanting to fall asleep washed over him. A sense of oxygen deprivation surged from the back of his head, making Xia Fa want to yawn intensely.

A chill ran through him.

This is... truly the limit!

His muscles were about to give out, his brain was lacking oxygen, and his heart was suffering from ischemia... His body's organs were practically screaming warnings for him to give up and stop.

But, there's only one missing...

Xia Fa immediately began to imagine himself full of energy, not wanting to yawn at all, with plenty of blood flowing smoothly through his heart, not needing to sleep at all, and with all his muscles full of strength and no soreness whatsoever.

Believe it or not, the moment he started imagining things, those unpleasant feelings actually disappeared for a short time, temporarily replaced by the beautiful imagery in his mind.

Taking advantage of that brief moment of deceiving his body, Xia Fa's hideous back muscles strained and he pulled hard!
"seventy!!!"

As Xia Fa used the strength of his back muscles to pull his body to its highest point, he completely lost his senses.

His body then plummeted, and only when he reached the very bottom could he grip the bar tightly with his almost completely exhausted hands to temporarily slow his descent.

Only in this way can it be considered that a complete pull-up has been truly completed.

That means... it has reached the seventieth!

I... I really did it! I broke the seventy-pull barrier!

Xia Fa felt a surge of joy and relaxation, but suddenly everything went completely black before his eyes, and his mind seemed to be falling into an endless abyss.

More importantly, my heart was pounding violently, like a drum, and I could hear tinnitus in my ears.

That feeling of drowsiness and oxygen deprivation washed over me again.

broken!

Before collapsing and fainting, this was Xia Fa's last thought.

I'm so tired from overexertion, I'm about to faint...

thump!
There was a muffled sound.

Xia Fa's tall, agile, and fierce body landed on the ground constructed of red and silver star shells.

His eyes were tightly closed, his jaw clenched, and he actually fainted.

Perhaps due to Xia Fa's complete unconsciousness caused by excessive exercise, the surface of the Red Silver Star Shell was about to develop fine cracks after the tremor.
Soon, it will shatter like a broken glass ball.

Just like when Xia Fa entered the mysterious inheritance bone realm of the Heavenly Fate Saint.

Just before cracks appeared on the red-silver star shell, countless black "fine sands" crossed the Star Spirit Realm and rushed towards Xiafa.

But if you look closely, you'll find that it's not fine sand... but tiny black holes!
It was as if a giant black hole had been split open, forming countless smaller black holes that rushed towards Xiafa's belly.

Chi!

Before Xia Fa's linen shirt even touched these tiny black holes, it was torn apart by the black holes' immense gravity.

Chi!

Immediately afterwards, Xia Fa's abdomen was also torn open by the gravitational pull of these tiny black holes, bleeding profusely and revealing his wriggling pink intestines.

But immediately, these tiny black holes directly merged into his stomach and intestines, then upwards into his esophagus and even his mouth, and downwards all the way into his small intestine.

The next moment, countless pink fleshy strands grew from Xia Fa's abdominal muscles, intertwining with each other like many powerful hands clasping together, forcibly healing his abdomen.

The blood flowed back into Xiafa's body without wasting a single drop. The wound on his abdomen quickly scabbed over, then the scab fell off, and the scar faded and disappeared.

In a daze, Xia Fa opened his eyes.

"Fa...what happened?"

He touched his stomach and felt an intense pain, but his spiritual intuition revealed nothing amiss when he looked inside.

"I am..."

Xia Fa braced himself against the inner wall of the red-silver star shell, stood up, and with a casual wave of his hand, the red-silver star shell dissipated, transforming into starlight Rhine Silver Mercury that returned to his body.

He was about to wash off the sticky sweat in the bathroom when a sudden, intense hunger pang surged up from his stomach!
I haven't felt this intense hunger in a long time since that second workout in the little attic on Daniel Street in Rum City.

The feeling was like a sharp steel knife constantly scraping at my stomach, and it wouldn't stop until food was put in!
It's like a belly full of lava, scalding every part of the stomach and esophagus. Food is needed to calm this "lava," which is stomach acid!

But now, Xia Fa has experienced a lot and is no longer the young man who would panic and lose his mind because of a strange feeling of hunger.

He calmly summoned a large water sphere, stepped into it, and then manipulated the water within to flow violently, like ocean currents.

In an instant, all the sweat on his body was washed away.

But the next moment——

boom!
Xia Fa smashed through the water balloon, even breaking through the wall of the bathroom in the Emperor's Suite, and headed straight for the nearest table and chairs.

hungry.

I was so hungry.

This hunger intensified hundreds or even thousands of times in an instant, tormenting his stomach and even his mind, making it impossible for him to remain calm.

At this moment, Xia Fa had only one thought in his mind.

That is... eating!

Go and randomly freeload a meal, and ideally, get a superhuman feast cooked by a supreme supernatural being so you can eat your fill!

Now that I have money, when I pretend to be a real "bulimia glutton," I can help people calm their tendency to lose control, or even eliminate the risk of losing control. No matter what method I use or from what angle, I can afford to pay for the meal!
The nearest tables and chairs to him were the marble coffee table and the soft brown velvet sofa in the living room.

Even though it was only a dozen or so steps away, the hunger was incredibly intense, as if my stomach would start digesting on its own if I didn't eat soon.

Xia Fa had no choice but to rush forward while flipping his hand to take out the dried meat made from a Dominator-level supernatural creature that he had previously purchased at the night market in the City of Ten Thousand Stars.

Like a hungry wolf, he twisted his neck and head, tearing off a large piece of jerky with his teeth, swallowing it without chewing.

But at that very moment, Xia Fa stopped in his tracks.

Not right.

You should know that this is dried meat made from a dominant supernatural creature, and it is a dominant supernatural creature like the "Deep Sea Giant Wolf".

It is said that the fattest and most delicious meat from the hind leg of the giant sea wolf is so tender that it takes ten pounds of meat to make one pound of jerky!
Moreover, it's not just left to dry in the sun; it requires a master to intervene and use extremely complex procedures and steps combined with secret methods to dry it.

However, that bite he just took was equivalent to eating half a pound of deep-sea giant wolf meat, which would normally be enough to fill him up, but strangely, it didn't alleviate his hunger pangs at all.

Even more surprisingly, the meat of this giant deep-sea wolf didn't even get swallowed by stomach acid to be digested after it entered the stomach!

Stomach acid continues to corrode the stomach and intestines, and the extreme, intense hunger continues to torment the brain and mind.

"What...do I need to eat?"

Seeing this, Xia Fa decided against going to randomly freeload a meal and became thoroughly puzzled.

He knew perfectly well that this was definitely a change brought about by his breakthrough of seventy pull-ups during his recent physical training.

However, the biggest problem is...

What should I eat to relieve this hunger?

After thinking for a moment, Xia Fa took out one of the three treasures he had snatched from Nerva—a button-shaped treasure.

I've been too busy lately to study these three treasures, but now, Xia Fa has decided to take the risk and give them a try.

After confirming that his spiritual intuition sensed no danger, Xia Fa was about to put the button-shaped treasure into his mouth.

However, a sense of resistance arose, much like how someone who only likes to eat meat feels when faced with vegetables.

Xia Fa trusted his body's instincts and immediately realized that what he needed to eat was not the secret treasure.

He casually put away the button-shaped treasure, and then immediately took out a hexahedral-shaped extraordinary substance.

This was also bought at the night market in the City of Ten Thousand Stars. It is a strange supernatural essence called "Hot Long-Legged Succubus". It is said that if you take this supernatural essence to a certain deep sea abyss in the Baron Ocean, you can revive the Hot Long-Legged Succubus.

Of course, Xia Fa only bought it for research purposes, not because he really wanted to resurrect the hot, long-legged succubus.

And now, it's the perfect time to give it a try.

Similarly, Xia Fa placed the hexahedral-shaped extraordinary substance to his lips.

Another wave of resistance washed over me, completely different from the resistance I felt when I wanted to eat the secret treasure before, but it was definitely resistance nonetheless.

"Could it be... that I need to eat the sealed artifact? No, that's not right..."

If secret treasures won't work, then sealed artifacts definitely won't work either.

Hunger was still tormenting my brain, my stomach felt like it was about to be corroded by stomach acid, and my esophagus felt like it was filled with lava. The burning sensation and acid reflux were extremely intense.

In his desperation, Xia Fa suddenly came up with an extremely bold idea that even he found unbelievable.

Could it be that what I need to eat... is the Secret Code?

Eating secret ingredients is not uncommon in the history of the supernatural world; there have been some incredibly daring individuals who have attempted it.

After all, some secret contracts are carried by a piece of animal hide, while others are carried by a piece of dried meat or a bone fragment.

In other words, if you're not afraid of dying, you can try eating it.

However, this is just like signing a secret contract that is not guided by spiritual intuition. Without exception, those who have taken such contracts either explode and die on the spot, lose control directly, or mysteriously disappear after seemingly being safe and sound for a few days.

Therefore, "Never eat the secret ingredients" is a piece of advice that almost every nobleman would tell their children, and it has even become a tacitly accepted piece of nonsense.

Even Xia Fa, when he first became a superhuman, was gently reminded by Ban Li not to eat Mi Qi just because he was hungry. If he didn't have money to buy food, he could come to her house and she would cook for him herself.

But now, the thought of trying Michi makes Xia Fa feel inexplicably excited.

The feeling is like someone who has been starving for days suddenly thinking about eating a bowl of juicy braised pork or a bucket of golden, crispy, and steaming fried chicken.

In other words, it's... the instinctive feeling that arises when you find real "food"!
"Never mind, I'll just take a bite, and if it's too much, I'll just spit it out..."

Xia Fa's gaze sharpened, and he made a decision.

The main problem was that if he couldn't find the food that matched his hunger, he felt like his stomach would be burned through by the stomach acid.

Immediately, Xia Fa flipped his palm and took out a high-level secret contract of "Immortal Sentinel".

Even he himself had forgotten where he got it. It might have been cut open from the belly of a traveling whale, or it might have been bought at the night market in the City of Ten Thousand Stars, or it might have been taken from a supernatural creature he casually killed.

However, now is not the time to worry about that. Looking at the brown, furry animal hide covered with secret texts, which is the high-level secret contract of the Immortal Sentinel, Xia Fa's face hardened. He rolled it up and took a big bite like eating a pork roll!
The moment I took a bite, my mouth watered uncontrollably, and my appetite was completely awakened.
Xia Fa felt as if he was eating not the brown, furry animal hide that carried the high-level secret agreement of the Immortal Sentinels, but real pork rolls, the kind that were braised until soft, chewy, and sprinkled with chili powder.

He took a bite, chewed it a few times, and, not feeling anything unusual, swallowed it.

The moment the Immortal Sentinel's high-level secret contract entered his stomach, the boiling and clamoring stomach acid, like army ants seeing a piece of meat, instantly covered it!
The intense, almost torturous hunger finally eased slightly, and my mind and spirit stopped constantly thinking about what to eat.
Xia Fa finally breathed a sigh of relief, squeezed the brown, furry animal hide into a ball with his palm, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

I chewed with great satisfaction, and for some reason, it tasted incredibly delicious, hundreds or even thousands of times better than real braised pork skin rolls!
In fact, the incredibly wonderful taste experience it brought was almost as good as the time I ate stir-fried lamb intestines with eggs made by a gourmet!

That experience remained unforgettable for Xia Fa, but he didn't dare to actually try to find a gourmet again, since gourmets are real people, not people he could just find whenever he wanted.

Now, seeing that eating Miqi can bring such an experience, Xia Fa, for some reason, is secretly looking forward to eating Miqi every day from now on.

The brown, furry animal hide that carried the high-level secret pact of the Immortal Sentinel was quickly torn apart by Xia Fa, who swallowed it with a forceful gulp, and it immediately fell into his stomach.

This further relieved my hunger, and I no longer felt heartburn or acid reflux in my esophagus.

But, for some reason, Xia Fa felt... even hungrier.

If the hunger I felt before was physical, it was because my stomach underwent some strange transformation after exercising, just like the one with my eyeballs, which is why I felt so hungry.

The hunger we feel now is a mental craving, the feeling of our brain releasing dopamine like crazy after eating extremely delicious "food", urging us to eat a few more bites!
It's like a hungry person who has just eaten a slice of beef and cheese pizza, but there's still a whole plate of beef and cheese pizza in front of them, and they still have the urge to keep eating and feasting!

"Fortunately, I think I still have a few high-level secret contracts..."

Xia Fa recalled briefly that he seemed to still have at least a few high-level secret contracts in his bag, such as "Radiant Sunlight", "High Temperature Propulsion" and "Mysterious Black Eye".

He wasn't sure if there were any others.

As for whether or not to try the "Eternal Conditions" overlord-level contract... Xia Fa felt it was too extravagant. He would wait until he could obtain a second "Eternal Conditions" overlord-level contract before considering it.

Thinking this, and feeling relaxed as his hunger was greatly relieved, he sat down directly on the brown velvet sofa, ready to enjoy those high-class secret contracts.

But just as Xia Fa sat down,
call out!
A chaotic current surged through the air, accompanied by the crackling sound of a malfunctioning telegraph machine. Xia Fa's figure vanished in an instant.

……

The imposing and enormous vault was entirely forged from a mixture of shadow gold and living iron. Each wall was over ten meters thick, covered with all sorts of ritual arrays and magical equations, and even every gap was filled with secret texts.

Inside the vault, there were rows of metal shelves filled with secret treasures, sealed artifacts, extraordinary fruits, extraordinary metals, various rare potions, and supernatural pills... and so on.

In addition, there were all sorts of secret contracts displayed, but almost all of them were high-level secret contracts.
Among ordinary secret contracts, only extremely rare and exceptional contracts such as those for "Thunder Man" and "Teleporter" are qualified to be placed on the shelves of this vault.

With a "whoosh," accompanied by mosaic-like chaos in the air and the crackling of electricity,

The physical form of "Glutton," which Xia Fa was disguised as, appeared in a corner of the huge, heavily guarded vault, on a chair that resembled a sealed artifact.

"No way... I want to eat at Miki right now, how could this trigger a random free meal?"

At this moment, Xia Fa was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

To be honest, when he sat on the velvet sofa in the living room of the Emperor Suite, he never expected that he would end up randomly getting a free meal.

He even thought that since he wanted to eat at the Secret Contract, he wouldn't randomly request a free meal.

Unexpectedly, this random free meal not only started, but also... led him to the treasury of some unknown force or organization!
"Whatever, we're already here..."

Xia Fa's gaze immediately swept over the shelves filled with high-level secret contracts, and a plan immediately formed in his mind.

If this is the vault of a particularly evil, secretive organization, then I'll just loot everything I can and take it all with me, especially these high-level secret contracts.

But if this is the treasury of a normal force or organization, then I will only take these high-level secret contracts and leave behind gold pounds according to the approximate price.

However, this is precisely where the difficulty lies.

With a single gesture, Xia Fa used a stream of cyan energy to envelop a high-level secret contract of "Lord of the Beehive" on the shelf, and conjured it up out of thin air.

The reason for choosing this high-grade secret contract is that it is contained in a piece of black jerky, which looks like wild boar meat and should be some kind of supernatural creature.

Xia Fa first took a big bite, and after chewing a couple of times, he let out a long, comfortable sigh.

Then, while eating, he continued to think.

The real challenge now is that... there's no one in the vault, and after disguising himself as the physical "Glutton," he can only stay on this ebony chair that looks like a sealed artifact and can't move.

So how do we determine whether the power or owner of this vault is good or bad?
Thinking this, Xia Fa actually finished the advanced secret contract of the Lord of the Bees in just a few bites. He felt that his stomach was about one-fifth full.

In other words, just a few more will do!
