Don't force me to use my right fist.

However, a foul odor on the body is a matter of personal hygiene habits.

And then there are those with maggots and worms on their bodies, needless to say. When you're disgusting others, aren't you disgusting yourself first?

"Calm down, don't come any closer, I'm going to scream for help!"

Sōyu swallowed hard, and a hint of fear finally appeared on his face.

As if the other party was waiting for Saya to show such an expression, their withered, tree-branch-like hands slowly embraced Saya's head and gently but forcefully twisted it in one direction.

"Click~"

The crisp sound of bones breaking came from Saya's room.

Saya twisted his neck in the room, trying to shake off the disgusting touch left on his face by those hands.

In front of him was the female ghost who should have grabbed his neck and snapped it, her hands twisted at a strange angle, and the sound of bones breaking was coming from that twisted hands.

"I already told you not to come over. How could a mere ordinary evil spirit compare to my well-trained body?"

Sōyū, who easily broke free from the grasp of the other two white-clad female ghosts with a slight exertion of his hands, sighed. He had been thinking of testing the attack strength of these guys, but it turned out that even without armor, the opponents could only use such inferior attack methods?

Saku admired the courage of someone who had studied under Steve, who was trying to outmuscle him.

"I even prepared a golden apple to prevent it from backfiring, but with this kind of performance, it's really not enough."

It should be said that A-Zhen is indeed only good at dealing with ordinary people. Even with her special ability to appear and disappear almost unpredictably, coupled with the fact that she cannot be harmed by ordinary means, she is more than capable of dealing with ordinary people. However, when it comes to monsters like Sawa, even if three of them come at once, it is still not enough.

Out of respect for the other party, and also to thank these guys for letting him understand the attack methods of ordinary ghosts, Sōyū drew the enchanted diamond sword from his backpack.

"To repay your help, how about we finish this quickly?"

The tip of the longsword, gleaming with an eerie light, pointed at the monster ahead, and Sōyū spoke in a completely emotionless voice.

The three Sadakos opposite them seemed to understand the threat that Saya's longsword posed to them, and they all took a step back.

"Oh my, you guys recognize this sword. So, you also have memories of what happened in the infirmary?"

Sawa narrowed his eyes as he quickly deduced a conclusion from their subtle movements. If that was really the case, then this so-called evil spirit curse was probably not so simple.

The three white-clad female ghosts opposite did not respond to Sōyu. Leaning against one side, they interlocked their skeletal hands and aimed them at Sōyu, who was still deep in thought.

"A new trick?"

With such a long casting animation from the opponent, Zuoyou couldn't possibly be completely oblivious. Just to be on the safe side, he quickly put on the diamond armor from his backpack.

The opponent did not disappoint Saya. Foul-smelling blood, which seemed to have gathered from nowhere, surged out from all directions and almost instantly formed a blood sphere, engulfing Saya entirely.

Why did they suddenly start going down the magic route?

With his mouth and nose tightly closed, Saya looked at the breathing bar that appeared in the status bar, and only then did he realize that what he was facing was not an illusion.

This move completely caught Saya off guard. Even Sadako from the original version wouldn't have used such a move, right?

This falls entirely within the realm of magic, and Sōyū has not made any preparations in this regard.

Direct attack magic is not like curses, and milk won't help Saku in this regard.

However, the only saving grace is that even though this blood is full of stench and corrosiveness, it is still water, after all.

Since it's water, Sōyū has a solution.

Sawa, who was entangled in the blood, did not choose to break through the blood to get out. Even though it wouldn't be difficult for him to do so with his current strength, and he was not corroded by the blood due to the protection of the diamond armor, he still had other thoughts.

This blood should be considered a special material that can be collected, right?

It might come in handy sometime.

Sawa, driven by his collecting obsession, quickly took an empty bucket from his backpack and lightly waved it at the blood that was enveloping his body and trying to crush him.

"Boom~"

It sounded like a bubble bursting.

The blood that had been trapped in the spherical water prison for Sawa opened up in a square shape, and its volume shrank by more than half at a visible speed.

"Wow, they really can collect them."

Looking at the iron bucket labeled "Blood of Vengeful Spirits" that had appeared in his backpack, Zuoyou grinned, and his gaze toward the three white-clad female ghosts became interesting.

Can this thing be tamed?

Should we use bones or fish?

Chapter Thirty-Three: What the hell are you doing?

The three vengeful spirits opposite did not meet Saya's expectations. Just the fact that Saya took a bucket of blood was enough to cause their bodies to shrink to a visible degree, making it difficult for them to even support themselves.

From this perspective, this blood must be one of the sources of their power, which explains why they can control it so easily.

However, since that's the case, Saya won't hold back.

No longer suppressed by the blood, an empty bucket appeared in his hand once again, and Zuoyou swung it down at the remaining blood without hesitation.

The blood that had been churning and trying to envelop him again vanished into thin air, as if erased by an eraser, leaving not a trace of blood behind.

As Sōyū collected all the blood into the bucket, the three white-clad female ghosts, who had already turned into mummies, also turned into dust and dissipated into the air.

"Is it that fragile? I was thinking of giving you some water to see if we could squeeze out a little more."

Zuoyou shook his head in disappointment. How could these monsters be so fragile? Even Niu Niu could withstand endless milking, but these three monsters only managed to collect two buckets of blood before they were gone?

The room, which had become somewhat gloomy and oppressive due to the appearance of the three women in white, quickly returned to normal. Sōyū also got the experience he had hoped for from eliminating the three monsters, as well as another ten or so pieces of rotten flesh.

The other party even aptly helped Saku upgrade the curse he had placed on him by another level.

【The Curse of Evil Spirits III】: Why are you still alive?

"Won't there be nine next time? If the increase continues at this rate, we'll have to figure out a way to build a monster-farming tower."

Sōyū stroked his chin, pondering his next move. He thought that if he didn't take advantage of this curse to farm some monsters before he had to drink milk to remove the other buffs, it was uncertain whether he would ever encounter such a good thing again.

You have to understand that this world is different from Minecraft. No matter how powerful the monsters are, they are still considered a non-renewable resource. Killing one means there may be one less.

Unlike in Minecraft, where you can find a flat spot, not light any torches, and then farm a huge number of them at night.

Sawa, who was worried about what to do if he had to drink milk in a situation, suddenly saw an unfamiliar item in his almost full inventory.

"Huh? Those three monsters dropped extra items?"

Sōyū took out the enchanted book that was shimmering with an eerie light and placed it in his right hand.

[Azhen’s Love Cooking Notes]

"?"

Sawa's small eyes were filled with great confusion.

What is this thing? If Bai Ze's Milk and the Blood of the Wraith were both based on the original mechanics of Minecraft, then this drop must be original, right?

But logically speaking, this thing shouldn't have been lost. It's a cooking notebook or something. Are you expecting Saya to learn how to cook from A-Zhen?

Wanting to see what this thing recorded, Sawa casually flipped open the book's title page. However, what happened next left him stunned.

A familiar image of a small hammer striking an anvil appeared in the center of his field of vision.

At the same time, a line of small text popped up in the chat box, which had not appeared since he returned from the Minecraft world.

"【Dark Cuisine Craft】Module loading..."

With an incredulous expression, Zuoyou wiped his frozen face. He never expected that the thing he had longed for so long in that blocky world would suddenly be activated in this place.

It wasn't because of that infamous cooking technique that Zuoyou was surprised; what mattered to him was that after all these years, he had finally installed his first module.

This is undoubtedly just the beginning.

Unable to contain his elation, Sōyū's smile resembled that of a gambler who had won five million.

This is a mod!

If the original Minecraft survival game is an ode to sandbox survival builders, then the addition of mods is a treasure created by all players with passion, based on the original game.

The emergence of modules represents infinite possibilities. Whether it is a monster or a demon, a mortal or a god, they are all potential targets for challenge.

Everything becomes customizable with the addition of modules, and it's no exaggeration to say that it has the power to change the world.

Now, the book in Zuoyou's hands actually comes with an installable module, which means that it is possible to obtain modules in this world.

This is undoubtedly the biggest surprise that Saku has received since coming to this world.

"The 'Dark Cuisine Craft' module is installed. From today onward, strive to become a qualified little master of dark cuisine!"

Excitedly watching the book transform into starlight and merge into his body, Zuoyou felt a strange power gather in his virtual cube right hand, eventually transforming into the shape of a medicine cauldron.

[True cooking never requires washing the pot]: The pot, as its name suggests, has never been washed and needs no cleaning.

As Zuo You looked at the medicine-refining cauldron, the joy on his face gradually turned into an indescribable twitch.

Although this is his first module, isn't it a bit too bizarre?

With so many things to complain about that he didn't even know where to begin, he swallowed hard, making a swallowing face to suppress all the urge to complain. He then put the pot with the name on it, which he didn't want to see a second time, on the ground.

Like all of Zuo You's tools, the small pot, which was originally like a miniature model, expanded almost instantly after being separated from Zuo You's right hand, turning into a strange black pot with steam rising from the bottom.

Then there is no more.

Mods usually don't come with tutorials, unless the creator is conscientious and provides a beginner's guide when you enter the game. Otherwise, you have to figure everything out on your own.

It's obvious that the creator of this module isn't exactly a conscientious person.

"Well, let's just consider it a good start. It's all good, right?"

Taking a deep breath, Zuoyou comforted himself. No matter what, being able to unlock the module was a great thing. As for whether this first module was weird or not.

that's not important.

With a try-it-out mentality, Zuoyou took a carrot from his backpack and put it into the black pot that was still heating itself.

Since it's called culinary arts, it must be related to ingredients, right? I guess this pot is probably similar to a workbench.

Then, Saku saw the carrot that had been put in fly out and hit him hard in the face.

This ingredient isn't weird enough.

A notification automatically pops up in the chat box in the lower right corner of the view.

No, what's with the ingredients not being dark enough? What exactly is "dark cuisine" anyway? Does it have to be made by throwing in a bunch of rotten flesh? How about adding a few slime balls instead?
