    Chapter 140: Becoming a Glutton

    “Having held at least two top-tier professions, I meet the requirements…” Ming Lin also pondered, “I also need to be passively beaten at least ten thousand times, and I can’t defend myself.”

    The professional requirements given by Su Chen were standard requirements corrected by the panel. If followed step by step, there would be no hidden dangers.

    “No wonder you asked me about the core of the Forging-Life mineral vein last time…” Ming Lin suddenly realized, but then a look of confusion appeared on his face. “You asked me two months ago, why did you only get the complete profession now?”

    “Can the Translation Department give out professional information little by little?”

    “Wait…” Ming Lin was stunned. “You’re not helping the Translation Master decipher it, are you?”

    “Sort of.” Su Chen answered vaguely.

    “You have this side business too.” Ming Lin couldn’t help but say, “If you ask me, although the Translation Department holds a respected position, it’s not as good as real power. Don’t waste your time.”

    He still thought that Su Chen was systematically learning ancient languages and then deciphering them step by step.

    “I know.” Su Chen vaguely responded, then pulled the conversation back. “After taking the position, how much food can I store, and are there any other requirements?”

    “There are no requirements, it’s just that compressed nutrient solutions cannot be used as quick reserves.”

    Ming Lin explained carefully, “For a mutated species of the same rank, the most I’ve eaten at one time was about half a ton. The nutrients converted from it can probably bring me directly from a weakened state to peak condition.”

    “But it can only be stored for ten days. After a long time, it will self-digest.”

    Su Chen was thoughtful; the ability Ming Lin acquired was incomplete.

    Because in his description, the food required to complete the mission did not include living creatures and rotten food, which was the panel’s self-correction.

    Missing two major categories, the ability obtained after completing the requirements would definitely be greatly reduced.

    “By the way, where did you get this Forging-Life mineral vein core?” Ming Lin also asked.

    “I exchanged it within the Tribunal, costing 120,000 contribution points, but it seems to be the only one for now.” Su Chen shrugged, “You’ll have to find a way yourself.”

    “120,000 contribution points…” Knowing this, Ming Lin’s face became even more excited. “Good, the more precious the requirement, the higher the strength.”

    “It seems I’m getting a bargain this time.”

    “Everyone has their needs.” Su Chen didn’t care. The strength of Armored Bone Master was indeed not low, but with his professional abilities, it could go even further.

    Ming Lin clearly only enjoyed the basic strength, so Su Chen turned to ask, “Where did you get the Abyssal God Vessel? Does the Tribunal have it?”

    “The Tribunal doesn’t have it. This is a kind of item that can only be born in a Tier 4 mutated species called a Tiger Glutton, with only a 1% chance. Moreover, if it’s not peeled off and frozen for storage within ten minutes of death, it will shrink.”

    Ming Lin shook his head, but laughed, “However, because this is one of the job requirements for a Glutton, I’ve acquired a few over the years to sell to others after trading.”

    “The profession you gave me is probably not of low strength, so I’ll give you one for free. I’ll send it to you in a couple of days.”

    “Then I thank you.” Su Chen naturally wouldn’t refuse.

    Ming Lin is indeed an honest person. It’s a pity that after taking the position, the ability cannot be adjusted, otherwise he wouldn’t mind revealing the corrected Glutton requirements.

    Ming Lin left excitedly, while Su Chen was also researching how to complete the requirements as soon as possible. The overall difficulty of Glutton was not high; it was just eating.

    Moreover, the most unacceptable requirements have been eliminated, leaving only the so-called eating beyond the limit.

    After taking a few tubes of nutrient solution from the pharmacy and pouring them into his stomach, the feeling of fullness made him almost retch, but there was no response to the request.

    “It seems that this compressed liquid nutrient cannot be used to cheat. I can only eat normal ingredients. I’m afraid I’ll have to eat a lot every day. The Gu family seems to have started by selling meat.”

    Su Chen sent a message to Gu Bing, who quickly responded, readily agreeing to his request and arranging it immediately.

    Early the next morning, a cargo hovercar stopped at the entrance of Su Chen’s residence.

    “…selected from the city’s breeding grounds, slaughtered, and transported here, all within twelve hours…so fresh that the muscle fibers are still twitching…”

    Gu Bing jumped down from the hovercar, opened the door, and saw neatly packaged large chunks of meat, each with a different color, some even emitting a strange glow.

    “Hmm, to process these beast meats, it probably requires a high-level chef, right?” Su Chen glanced at them; they were all third-order mutated beast meats.

    Gu Bing said, “I can do it.”

    “You?” Su Chen was surprised, and Gu Bing smiled, “I’m a senior chef part-time.”

    It’s normal for a meat seller to also be a part-time chef. Su Chen then said, “However, for the next thirty days, I might need continuous delivery and processing.”

    “That’s even better…” Gu Bing’s eyes lit up slightly, and after saying that, she seemed a little distracted, “I haven’t had any tasks recently.”

    “Alright.” Su Chen naturally wouldn’t stop her, just like being beaten by Bai Fengxi was far more comforting than being beaten by Bu Siqi.

    A senior sister chef is naturally more pleasing to the eye than a chef with a big head and thick neck.

    The excitement in Gu Bing’s eyes flashed, and she immediately entered work mode, carrying down the packaged large pieces of meat one by one.

    Next, Su Chen’s time became regular again, training to the limit, then eating large quantities of meat.

    It’s just that being unable to use highly compressed nutrient solution extended his recovery time somewhat, but it was harmless.

    “Son of God, it has been verified.”

    In a hidden place in Yingfeng, the Faceless Ghost cultist knelt on the ground, respectfully reporting to the grey-white pillar in the center.

    “Your body is currently in a high-level laboratory within the Tribunal. They seem to be studying your body.”

    “Thankfully, it wasn’t destroyed.” The voice in the gray-white crystal softened a bit. “My carefully designed body is not something a few natives can comprehend.”

    “I want to retrieve it, is there any way?”

    The cultist kneeling on the ground replied, “Although that laboratory is not located in the core of the Tribunal, it is still within its internal structure, so it won’t be easy to get it back.”

    “But if you give the order, we are willing to charge for you.”

    “If you die for it and bring it back, I don’t mind.” The Son of God’s tone was cold. “What level of power can you mobilize at most now?”

    “The priest is only a Tier 4 professional, but with the power of my Lord, he can resist a Tier 5.”

    “Not even enough to fill someone’s teeth.” The Son of God’s tone was cold. “Summon a high priest and bring the sacred statue.”

    “Yes.” The cultists agreed first, then said, “Such a big commotion will probably not be hidden from other evil gods.”

    “Damn it!” The grey-white crystal was silent for a moment before letting out a resentful sound: “Teng Liang…”

    “Don’t summon the high priest. First, try to contact those researchers and see if my mental avatar can be sent in. Contact other Heretic God Cultists in Yingfeng City and see if they can be used.”

    “Yes.” The cultists answered again.

    … In the gravity room, Su Chen stood still, his skin constantly fluctuating, as if countless tiny creatures were moving under his skin. The undulating patterns spread from his chest to his limbs. Each tremor caused ripples visible to the naked eye in his muscle fibers.

    The joints made crisp crackling sounds similar to breaking ice, and the popping sounds from within his body gradually intensified, transitioning from dull thuds to clear鸣音. These sounds erupted sequentially along his spine.

    Finally, his body violently shook and let out a muffled sound, and fine dust on the ground was stirred up, spreading outwards.

    [Crouching Tiger Body Forging Method has been upgraded to Master level, gaining the ability – Tiger Bone: slightly increases bone toughness.]

    “The effect of D-grade body tempering method is indeed stronger than E-grade…” Su Chen felt the changes in his body and glanced at the panel.

    [Azure Thunder Master: 31%]

    [Arcane Hand: 40%]

    [D-grade Profound Ice Pure Soul Meditation Technique – Proficient: 60%]

    As soon as I walked out of the gravity room, a fragrant smell wafted over me. Su Chen walked up the stairs.

    In the kitchen on the first floor, Gu Bing was busy. The crimson flames erupting from the compressed stove, crafted from the energy core of a certain fire element variant, were extremely hot.

    The crimson flames twisted like living things, guided precisely by her into a ring, completely enveloping the hanging meat. Dripping oil burst into continuous golden sparks.

    After reaching a certain temperature, the flames immediately turned from crimson to deep blue. The high heat quickly formed a crispy crust on the surface of the meat, while the inside remained a tantalizing pink.

    The flames converged into a thin line, and the perfectly roasted meat slowly rose, its surface gleaming with an oily luster, exuding a rich aroma of spices amidst the steaming heat.

    “Finished training, so early today?” Gu Bing noticed the movement behind her, turned her head, and had some black soot on her nose.

    “Mm.” Su Chen responded simply, while Gu Bing retrieved the prepared food from the nearby insulated box, her movements already practiced.

    Su Chen was not polite, and sat down to feast.

    Gu Bing reported from the side, “We have already connected with the Supervision Department. As one of the meat suppliers, they will purchase 50 million worth of monster meat of various grades from us every month. The other two companies are also similar.”

    “Mm.” Su Chen felt the juices in his mouth surging, and said, “Prepare food for another ten days.”

    “Only ten days left…” Gu Bing couldn’t help but feel disappointed, and tidied her hair. “I understand.”

    Then, she hesitantly asked, “The Yuanqing Day is at the end of the month. If you have no plans, Grandpa has arranged a family dinner.”

    “Yuanqing Day…” Su Chen was startled, and shook his head, “No need.”

    He didn’t give a reason, and Gu Bing pursed her lips, “I’ll tell Grandpa.”

    After eating, Su Chen returned to the gravity room and pulled out the new D-grade body tempering method, which was called – [Thundergang Body Tempering Method].

    The body tempering and meditation methods he chose could be performed by himself without external help, saving him trouble.

    “…Breathe in to draw lightning energy into the muscles, exhale to unleash it from all pores, thunder veins scorching the body…”

    With the stance set, strands of electric arcs wandered, and Su Chen gradually immersed himself.

    A few days later, Su Chen learned an unexpected piece of news.

    “The people from Yuandu were attacked?” He frowned, looking at Ming Lin who had come.

    “Yes…” Ming Lin sighed, “They say they were attacked while resting after crossing the White Sea.”

    “Heretic God Cultists?” Su Chen asked.

    “No…” Ming Lin shook his head, “It seems to be a group of rebel clerics.”

    “Rebels?” Su Chen was surprised, and after Ming Lin’s explanation, he understood.

    It was actually just some old stories. The rise of the four cities was always accompanied by bloodshed and carnage.

    Some losers were incorporated into the cities under their dominion, while others were completely annihilated, and the remaining people hated the four cities to the core, constantly stirring up trouble and even collaborating with the Heretic God Cult.

    There are also rebels here in Yingfeng, some are remnants related to the Heretic Gods, and some are vagrants from oppressed cities who have gathered together.

    He was in the heart of Yingfeng, and almost never left the Tribunal, so he had little contact with these forces and didn’t know much about them.

    “However, it’s not a big problem. They’re just minor characters, and it’s only delayed them for a while.”

    Ming Lin said here, couldn’t help but gasp, “The scale of people from Yuandu this time is not small. Three of the twelve archbishops have come, and they are even led by a saint.”

    Su Chen raised an eyebrow; he wasn’t completely ignorant of Yuandu.

    The twelve archbishops, that is, those at the level of chief judges, are Tier 6 professionals.

    Excluding those who need to guard their homes and those patrolling outside, three is already a considerable number.

    The Saint is on the same level as Chong Jingtian, a Tier 7 professional, and belongs to the decision-makers.

    “What are they here for after all?” Su Chen wondered, “Such a huge force is not to be underestimated.”

    “Who knows? They say it’s for exchange and learning, but who believes that? Anyway, they can’t cause trouble in Yingfeng.” Ming Lin also shook his head, “Forget it, let’s not talk about them.”

    “I’m here this time mainly to deliver the ‘Abyssal God Vessel’.” He bent down and picked up the matte metal box, pressing his finger gently on the buckle, and the lid opened in response.

    Inside, resting quietly in the center of the black cushioning, was a bio-stomach bag glowing with a faint golden luster.

    The surface of the bag was covered with fine scaly patterns, and translucent tubular structures were faintly visible within the bag, flowing with a halo as the light angle changed.

    “Thanks.” Su Chen said, and Ming Lin waved his hand before leaving.

    Closing the box, Su Chen tossed it into his storage space and glanced at the panel, “Almost there…”

    A few days later, on this day, Su Chen did not feast until he had exercised to his limit. Instead, he ate as soon as Gu Bing had finished cooking.

    “Senior sister, thank you for your trouble these past few days. Starting tomorrow, you don’t have to come to my house to cook every day.” Su Chen finished eating and burped.

    “Alright.” Gu Bing’s beautiful eyes dimmed slightly.

    And Su Chen had already turned and walked into the gravity room.

    “It’s about time.” Su Chen opened the panel. [Glutton] was ready, and the Abyssal God Vessel was placed in front of his chest.

    The moment the position began, the stomach pouch was dissolved by an invisible force, gradually transforming into a black and gold stream of light. The instant it touched Su Chen’s body, he felt a warm current quickly permeate him.

    This warm current, as if alive, surged directly into his stomach, forming a warm energy vortex there.

    The initial comfort felt like soaking in warm water, making him almost let out a satisfied sigh.

    But soon, the warmth began to turn into scorching heat, and his stomach felt as if it had been set on fire. The severe colic made him involuntarily bend over.
