The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins-Chapter 54: The hibernating snake

If it weren't for the nutrients in the four-dimensional stomach being depleted, I might still be able to continue my deep sleep, until all the attributes settled deep within the spirit and body are thoroughly digested, completing the transformation.

So... the hidden condition for rapid growth through hibernation is devouring enough food?!

Inexplicably, the young man thought of a hibernating snake.

Holding his lower abdomen, Zhu Haomiao bit his lip with a strange expression, looking at his temporary butler.

"Help me check out and arrange for a carriage to take me to [Xinghua House]."

The excited butler gradually calmed down, bowing respectfully.

"As you wish, sir."

Several minutes later, a luxurious carriage halted in front of [Xinghua House], and a boy cloaked in pure black leapt off, walking unhurriedly into the door.

"Mr. Zhu! You've arrived, please come in! Please come in!"

The greeter, seeing clearly who it was, shivered and nodded quickly, ushering the young man into the shop with a bow.

Following instinctively, Zhu Haomiao arrived at a private room on the second floor. It wasn't until he sat down did he realize: "Actually, sitting in the hall would have been fine."

Upon hearing this, the greeter shuddered as if hearing something terrifying and forced a smile: "How could a distinguished guest like you sit in the hall?"

"The private room has a better environment and also avoids those inattentive folks from disturbing your dining pleasure, right?"

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao nodded thoughtfully.

The conflict last time, if solely relying on himself, could have escalated into a mess.

Although he isn't afraid, less trouble is better than more trouble...

On the other end, the greeter, seeing no response from the boy, smoothly changed the subject.

"Mr. Zhu, what would you like to eat? Our house has procured several Mongolian tribute sheep, cooked with a milky aroma, very fresh~"

Gurgle gurgle~

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao's stomach growled voraciously, immediately grabbing his attention.

"Alright, please slaughter two for me, have the master chef prepare them."

"Huh? Two? All of it?"

"Mm."

Seeing the boy nod calmly, the greeter hesitated but eventually fawningly complied.

"Please wait a moment, I'll arrange it right away."

In less than half an hour, the freshly slaughtered lambs turned into a full lamb feast, delivered one after another before Zhu Haomiao.

Gazıng at the dishes glimmering with spirit light, Zhu Haomiao's pupils emitted a chilling green light, the already restless hunger roaring like a beast deep within him. freewёbnoνel.com

Eat! Eat! Eat!

The urge to devour surged like tidal waves, battering the mind, but the [Dao Heart] acted like a dam, firmly holding back the desire.

I won't give, you can't snatch!

The fragrance of meat lingered at his nose, the green in Zhu Haomiao's eyes flickering intensely, his hand on the table gripped so tightly it turned white, nails digging deep into his palm, yet he remained motionless.

Mastering [Gluttony], [Dao Heart] +1

Like taming a hawk, only when the raging hunger was completely subdued did Zhu Haomiao reveal a satisfied smile, picking up the chopsticks beside him.

The milky fragrant lamb exploded with juicy flavor in the mouth, the young man, chewing slowly, couldn't help but close his eyes in intoxication, immersed in this unparalleled delightful experience.

No wonder so many indulge in the Illusion Realm, the rule-bound real world can hardly offer such high-level cuisine!

Not to mention the All Heavens Illusion Realm with its unimaginable supernatural pleasures!

At the same time, Zhu Haomiao finally confirmed, the glowing dishes crafted by the Imperial Chef boasted significantly higher nutritional value than ordinary food.

On a supernatural level, a bite of such a dish provided more nutrition than eating a hundred pancakes!

However, human stomach capacity is limited, even the four-dimensional stomach provided by [Gluttony] has its limits; once filled with large quantities of low nutritional value "junk," I would have to waste substantial time digesting them, slowing down my growth rhythm.

Thinking of this, Zhu Haomiao couldn't help but sigh.

It seems I'm destined to survive on "soft meals" in the future.

While thoughts swirled in his mind, the boy's hands didn't pause for a moment, dish after dish vanished before him, empty plates replaced by new delicacies. By the end, even the serving maid couldn't help but look on in fright, secretly observing his unchanging waistline.

Sheep offal, sheep blood, lamb, sheep brain, even marrow was artfully crafted into delicious dishes by the skillful Imperial Chef.

The edible parts of the two sheep alone could easily weigh seventy to eighty pounds, combined with side dishes, a full hundred pounds of food went into his stomach, yet his body showed no change whatsoever?!

Subconsciously, the maid recalled the legend of transforming demons, goosebumps rising all over.

However, Zhu Haomiao, right beside her, failed to notice her fear, slowly finishing the last bite of lamb, sighing in contentment.

[Gluttony] +5, [Dao Heart] +1

In the Illusion Realm, where desires seemed illusively ethereal, I could actually master [Gluttony] while savoring delicacies, enabling Original Sin and Dao Heart to grow simultaneously.

This is almost impossible to achieve in the real world.

After sating his appetite, Zhu Haomiao smacked his lips, savoring the lingering taste on his tongue, eventually settling the bill and leaving.

The meal cost nearly five years' salary for a "local mortal," yet Zhu Haomiao felt no pain at all.

Having tasted the sweet fruit of Black Eating Black, the fat, pig-faced villains now appeared as ATMs, just waiting for him to harvest.

There are so many bad people in this world, there's no way to run out of money, really can't spend it all!

"Bad guys stock up on grain, I stock up on guns, bad guys are my granary~"

Humming an out-of-tune ditty, Zhu Haomiao leisurely strolled through Shanghai's Houtan, across much of the Public Leased Territory, familiarly arriving before a towering building.

Stepping through the invisible barrier, the still, deserted hall held only Senior Brother Wang, idly playing with a tablet.

"Yo, Little Zhu's here?"

Greeting from afar, Senior Brother Wang put down the tablet, sitting upright.

"Anything you need?"

"Hello, Senior Brother Wang, I want to trade something at the Yanhuang Armory."

"Oh, hold on, I'll go get Senior Brother Feng."

Recalling the head's previous instructions, to promptly notify him when this boy arrived, Senior Brother Wang quickly rose and went upstairs.

In less than a minute, Feng Zhaobai descended unhurriedly, his brow subtly twitching at the sight of Zhu Haomiao.

"Senior Brother Feng."

"Junior Brother Zhu."

After exchanging greetings, they headed together into an adjacent meeting room.

"Junior Brother Zhu, came by so soon again, have you decided on the main weapon to cultivate?"

"No, I'm here to exchange for the follow-up cultivation technique."

"Hmm?"

Feng Zhaobai's eyes shifted, quickly furrowing his brow again.

"As mentioned before, waiting to exchange the follow-up cultivation technique until you've reached entry-level isn't too late..."
