Learn one small skill every day

Seeing that the other party remained unmoved, Bai Miao continued, "I think you probably don't want to know what will happen the day after you fail to make a proper deal with me, or after you steal the bloodstone from me."

"How dare a mere human speak to me like that?"

Enraged by Bai Miao's words, the fleshy mass trembled as it tried to squeeze out of the window. Pairs of arms, reduced to skin and bones, were forced out from the gap and stretched out towards Bai Miao: "Two pieces of bloodstone, one portion of meat."

This guy doesn't seem to be thinking straight...

"Which eye of yours saw that I am human?"

Bai Miao tilted his head, and the next second, his two eyeballs fell out of their sockets.

[Eyeball detachment LV1]

"Oh, my eye fell out. Let me pick it up first."

Bai Miao grabbed the eyeball and stuffed it back in.

The first time I used this skill, it felt terrible.

Although his eyeball had detached, his vision remained, and Bai Miao almost fell over due to the rapid change in his field of vision.

"..."

Upon seeing Bai Miao's action, the mountain of flesh quickly shrank back into the room and chuckled.

"A piece of bloodstone, a piece of meat."

Bai Miao shook his head: "One piece of bloodstone, two portions of meat."

"The price used to be one to one."

"But your idea just now made me a little unhappy, and you broke the rules first, so don't expect the master to calmly reason with you when he comes back."

"One and a half servings, no more than that."

"make a deal."

Bai Miao handed over a piece of bloodstone, which the flesh mountain eagerly put into its bosom. Then, with a wriggling motion, a large chunk of white flesh detached from the flesh mountain.

[Estimated Weight LV2: Determine the mass of the object being lifted, ignoring local gravity, if it is within the lifting range]

It weighs about 30 pounds.

This lump of flesh wasn't considered a prop; it had to be carried back to the clinic.

With the chunks of meat on his shoulder, Bai Miao could no longer contain his joy.

I just confirmed a lot of my guesses!

The most important thing is that you have to be ruthless in Abyss Street!

If you show weakness, you will be devoured without a trace!

Although the plague doctor made house calls, his reputation was enough to intimidate many residents.

As long as the identity of the plague doctor's assistant can be used effectively, ordinary residents are not a threat.

Carrying nearly thirty pounds of meat back to the clinic, Bai Miao immediately began cutting the meat.

This 30 jin is one and a half portions, which means that you only need to feed that thing in the basement 20 jin of meat every day.

You can also keep ten pounds of meat just in case.

However, after careful consideration, Bai Miao decided to keep five jin and use twenty-five jin to feed the animals.

As soon as the basement door opened, a pungent odor wafted out.

Bai Miao thought he had gotten used to the disgusting smell of flesh and grease, but he was still nauseated by the unreasonable stench from the basement.

"Meat...meat...meat...meat..."

Standing at the doorway leading to the basement, you can already hear the incessant, mournful chanting coming from underground.

Bai Miao took a breath and walked step by step into the basement.

Pushing open the basement door, Bai Miao was stunned by what he saw inside.

The creature imprisoned in the basement was not some terrifying monster, but a naked human woman.

She had long, dusty white hair, her neck and limbs were tightly chained, and a gray veil covered her eyes, with several intricate and beautiful patterns outlined on it.

She was very tall, with her ribs clearly visible.

Is it some kind of hallucination?

Or is it that this monster can transform into a human to deceive humans?

Countless possibilities flashed through Bai Miao's mind.

Seemingly drawn by the smell of meat, the woman in the basement cell suddenly lunged against the bars, her mouth agape, drool dripping down her cheeks.

"Meat! Give me meat!"

"Give……"

Bai Miao carefully placed the meat on the feeding trough in front of the iron fence, watching her tear at the meat like a wolf and swallow it in large mouthfuls.

Bai Miao felt a slight unease.

Is this treating people like animals, or have they been bewitched by monsters?

Based on past experience, 20 jin (10 kg) of this kind of meat per day is no longer something humans can consume.

This place is not safe to stay for long...

We're still figuring out how to leave Abyss Street; it's only our first day. Let's familiarize ourselves with the environment and get through this safely first...

Let's leave the basement for now...

However, just as Bai Miao turned to leave, the woman behind him suddenly asked in a soft and pitiful voice.

"Why isn't the doctor here today?"

"You... are a human, right?"

Chapter Five: The First Customer

Bai Miao paused, turned around, and after confirming that the woman in the cage could not see him, he slowly sighed.

"Why does everyone treat me as a human? I admit that I was human before I was modified by my master, but that doesn't mean I still am after the modification."

"I see... So, do you want to leave Abyss Street?"

Bai Miao's heart skipped a beat, wondering if he had triggered some hidden side quest or if this was part of the main quest.

After finishing the meat, the woman miraculously regained her rationality and completely changed her previous hysterical state.

This made Bai Miao unsure whether she was trustworthy now.

After weighing the options, Bai Miao refused: "Leave? Why should we leave here?"

“If you save me and get me out of here, I can have the Healing Cult heal you and restore you to human form. The Plague Doctor’s transformation is not thorough, and you will soon become a mindless monster.”

Like you?

Bai Miao swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

The pie in the picture was poorly drawn, and Bai Miao couldn't muster any interest at all.

Sensing that Bai Miao remained unmoved, the woman in the cage immediately changed the subject: "There's more meat than usual today, did you do that on your own initiative?"

"The butcher gave me a little extra."

"Thank you. I hope to see you again at this time tomorrow. By the way, it's 10:20 in the morning now."

For anyone else, this timing would likely be a crucial point in their understanding.

However, for Bai Miao, it was dispensable.

It seems that so far there haven't been any major problems.

If we can obtain valid information from the copy, it means the route is correct.

Bai Miao returned to the living room on the first floor and suddenly realized something.

Do I need to eat while in the instance?

People need to eat, right?

However, there was clearly no human food in the plague doctor's clinic.

Looking at the remaining five pounds of white meat, Bai Miao suddenly couldn't help but drool, which quickly dripped from the corner of his mouth.

"No... this thing can't be eaten..."

I don't feel hungry; the urge to eat meat is purely a psychological one...

Bai Miao found a blanket and covered the lump of flesh with it, and only then did the drool in his mouth stop.

How about we take advantage of the daytime to go out and explore?

The highlight of the Abyss Street dungeon is undoubtedly at night. Bai Miao wants to make good use of the daytime to explore as much as possible, and also wants to accumulate more stamina during the day to prepare for the dangers of the night.

Alright, let's take a break! We can explore things slowly!

It's unlikely that anyone could clear this instance in just one or two days.

Why not take this opportunity to acquire more skills?

The skills you draw in the dungeon might be very different from those in the outside world.

On the first day, I drew a result of an eyeball detachment; I don't even dare to imagine what I'll draw next.

Bai Miao lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

[Sleep God LV1: You can fall asleep quickly in any environment.]

Bai Miao is very grateful for this skill, which has helped him through many tense nights before exams.

Now Bai Miao can fully recover his energy.

"Ding dong!"

In a daze, Bai Miao heard someone ring the doorbell.

With a swift movement, Bai Miao sat up straight in bed and estimated the time.
