This time, I won't be the devil.

【等级15（290/1800）】→【等级15（750/1800）】

A blue light octopus provides about 10 experience points, but starting from the 47th one, Frey's experience points no longer increase. This is because the amount of experience points a person can absorb in a certain period of time is limited.

The process of gaining experience from the monster's soul is like eating. It takes time to digest and absorb. You can't become fat in one bite.

Relying on the talent of [Wholehearted Yearning], Frey can currently gain more than 400 experience points at a time, increasing his level by a quarter, which is far beyond that of ordinary humans.

As the level increases, the experience required for upgrading will increase significantly. Correspondingly, the amount of experience that can be absorbed will also increase to a certain extent, but overall the level will definitely increase slower and slower.

At this point, the MyGO team's monster-killing speed is no longer a problem. The important thing is how to further improve the efficiency of gaining experience. It was for this reason that Frey asked Didoris to learn the farewell song.

He came to the lake, took out his flute and began to play. As the melodious music sounded, the homeless souls turned into points of light and surrounded Frey under the guidance of the melody.

When the song ended, most of the light spots dissipated with the wind, but a small part of them still entered Frey's body.

This farewell song of the elves has the function of guiding and comforting the dead souls. If we use the example of eating, it is equivalent to turning these ownerless souls from dry bread into soft noodles, so the amount they can eat at one time becomes a little more.

Experience: 750 → 800

Although the effect is not particularly great, it is still a considerable improvement over time. Therefore, every time Frey kills a monster, he will blow for a while.

Looking at Frey playing the flute, Noelle had a complicated expression.

These days, Didoris sometimes played music in the tavern instead of Frey, and sometimes they played together. Noelle had witnessed the two of them playing the flute together several times.

Every time this happened, Noelle would feel an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.

When Frey was playing music, there seemed to be a thick barrier around him. She couldn't get through, but the elf could.

After hesitating for a moment, Noelle said to Frey:

"Frey, can you teach me to play the flute?"

"Why do you suddenly want to learn this?"

"Frey, didn't you say that playing the flute can gain more experience? If I can play it, then I won't have to bother you all the time after killing monsters."

Since Noelle wanted to learn, Frey naturally had no reason to refuse, and he immediately handed the flute to the other party.

"Just try blowing on it first."

Noelle took the flute and put on an enthusiastic attitude. She took a deep breath and blew into the mouthpiece.

Then there was a blowing sound on the flute.

Seeing that the flute wouldn't make any sound, Noelle increased her strength. Her face flushed red as she blew desperately, but it just wouldn't make any sound.

"You don't think that just blowing into that big hole will make the flute sound?"

"Uh...isn't it?"

It seems that Noelle really knows nothing about music.

"First, you have to make the air you blow into a column, then cut it in diagonally from the edge of the hole..."

Frey tried to teach Noel how to play the flute, but this is not something that can be learned just by listening to theory. After playing for a long time, Noel still couldn't make any sound.

Unlike the piano, which anyone can play, and the guitar, which can be taught step by step, the flute cannot be taught mouth to mouth.

"Okay, I'll teach you slowly when I have time after we get out. For now, just focus on the maze."

"Um…"

Frey took the flute back from Noelle. Because she played so hard, the flute was covered with her saliva.

Indirect kiss, these four words came to Frey's mind.

Really, you’re not in junior high school, why do you care about this!

So, Frey put his mouth to the flute and started playing.

He always felt that there was a sweet smell on the flute...

When it was time to set up camp and eat, Noelle took out a bag of compressed dry food.

This is a simple food made from wheat flour mixed with bran, which is beaten into a paste and then dried. Eating it directly will make your throat sore and difficult to swallow, so it is usually soaked in water before eating.

When Noelle unpacked the dry food and prepared to soak it in water, Frey reached out to stop her.

"What's the rush? The food hasn't arrived yet."

"Frey, did you bring any side dishes?"

"No, fresh food is too inconvenient to carry."

"So what dish are you talking about?"

Facing Noelle's question, Frey finally announced his plan.

As we all know, the three major desires of human beings are appetite, desire for food and desire for sleep.

Of these three desires, appetite, as the foundation of life, should be satisfied first. After eating delicious food, people will feel satisfied and happy...

In remote exploration, mindset is very important.

Staying in a closed and dangerous maze for a long time will cause great mental stress to a person. If the stress is too great, it is likely to affect combat performance. Eating hot food is one of the effective ways to relieve stress.

Frey brought so much dry food just to serve as staple food and for emergencies. When he had spare time, he would naturally have a good meal.

Speaking of ingredients, as long as you are brave enough, there are ingredients everywhere in the maze.

"Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water. Now that we are in the maze, we must eat the maze's food..."

After that, Frey used earth magic to make an earthen stove and an earthen pot, and then made a dining table and a cooking table.

Creating a kitchen on the spot, this is the strength of Tumu Lao.

Afterwards, he caught a few blue squids from the lake. They were today's main dish. Frey had never eaten such big squids before he traveled through time, and he was very curious about what they tasted like.

But stewing the squid alone would definitely not be enough. After handing the squid's body to Noelle, Frey decided to go find some side dishes.

Through shadow perception, he discovered that on the other side of the lake, there was something growing that looked like it could be used as food.

It is a kind of mushroom that grows in the cracks of rocks. Its cap is wide and hemispherical, with slightly curled edges and a smooth surface. Its color is mainly brown with a hint of blue-gray.

After picking up the mushroom and observing it for a while, Frey recognized its true form.

"This is Jianshouqing."

The Jianshouqing is a mushroom that grows in mazes. When squeezed or cut, the wound surface of this mushroom will quickly oxidize to blue-green, hence the name.

From the perspective of food, the green fungus is delicious and has a smooth texture, making it a top-quality fungus.

But the green onion is essentially a poisonous mushroom and must be fully cooked to eliminate its toxicity.

Once eaten raw, the toxins in the green onion will affect the nerves and cause hallucinations.

The severity and duration of hallucinations are related to the individual's resistance, and the content also varies from person to person.

I heard that some people saw their dead mothers, some saw their ex-lovers, and some saw indescribable scenes.

Based on this characteristic, some people will deliberately eat the green onion raw in order to create an illusion.

According to Frey, some artists take ginseng when their inspiration runs out, and use its hallucinogenic effects to find new inspiration.

Therefore, the green mushroom has another milder name - inspiration mushroom.

Frey once witnessed a singer who, in order to create a new song, took too many mushrooms and became unconscious, humming a weird song in a crazy way:

“Inspiration gurgle gurgle gurgle~ Wow inspiration mushroom~~ Inspiration mushroom…”

At this moment, looking at the inspiration mushroom in his hand, Frey suddenly had a bold idea.

If the neurotoxin in the inspiration mushroom is purified, then the Shadow Blade can be used to eliminate a person's resistance to the toxin.

So is it possible to completely immerse it in the illusion?

Chapter 37 The Disappearing Gold

To conduct the experiment, Frey collected all the green algae near the lake and then returned to his camp.

At this time, Noelle had also processed the blue squid, cleaned the stains on the surface, and removed the internal organs.

To cook, Frey took out a few plants from a pile of green onion and sliced ​​them, then cut the blue squid into pieces, and then used magic to light the earthen pot.

After the pan is hot, put the squid into the pan and stir-fry to release the water, add the seasoning packet, and finally add the green onion and stew together.

Closing the lid, while waiting for the dish to cook, Frey decided to juice the remaining mizuna.

Since he didn't have a juicer, he used a more primitive method.

Frey used magic to create a huge stone mortar, put the mushrooms in it, then raised the baseball bat and stirred it in the mortar with the motion of pounding garlic.

"Frei, what are you doing?" Noel asked curiously.

"I'm gluing."

As the mushroom was hit violently with a baseball bat, a bluish-green gelatinous juice gradually seeped out of the mushroom's head.

This primitive act of squeezing the gelatinous juice from the mushroom head is generally called gluing.

However, due to the large number of mushrooms, it would be difficult for Frey to defeat them alone.

"Noelle, don't just stand there and watch. Come over and help me apply the glue."

Frey handed Noelle a stone stick, and the two of them started playing with glue together.

After beating for nearly half an hour, the mortar was filled with juice.

At the same time, the ingredients in the pot are thoroughly cooked, the steam slightly lifts the lid, and the delicious aroma sprays out from the lid.

A pot of delicious squid mushroom soup is ready.

Frey opened the lid of the pot with great anticipation, but he found that the soup was not the milky white color he had imagined, but was emitting a blue light.

There is only one possibility for this to happen, and that is that the fluorescent substance in the blue squid ink sac has mixed into the soup.

"Noelle, you were negligent while handling the ingredients, weren't you?"

In response to Frey's question, Noelle nodded somewhat embarrassedly. Due to her operational error, some of the stuffed ink sac remained in the soup.

"Is it intentional or accidental?"

"It was...an accident."

Noelle lowered her head out of self-blame, and Frey comforted her:
