The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 1259 778: Buddy, You Smell Delicious—I Want to Eat Y

"Thunk!"

A brick hit Xia Kai on the head, then bounced to the ground.

The blood-stained corner pointed directly to a small alley in the northeast.

"Damn it!"

Xia Kai cursed, covering his mouth.

It wasn't that he didn't dodge, but the brick was actually chasing him to hit.

The old players were right; the items sold in the system marketplace were all filled with malicious humor.

Xia Kai wanted to kick the brick to vent, but before he could touch it, the brick crumbled into powder, nearly twisting his ankle again.

"Damn it..."

He didn't dare to finish the cursing out loud, but everyone knew who he was cursing.

Xia Kai looked around, found no one paying attention to him, and quietly sneaked into that alley.

In the alley, he saw a demon that looked like a Lizard Monster smoking a cigarette.

The cigarette was a hand-rolled one, and instead of tobacco, it contained magenta petal-like or leaf-like fragnts.

Every ti it took a puff, the Lizard Monster shivered all over, and its body color changed wildly.

"It's actually a chaleon."

Xia Kai found this scene quite familiar.

His first instance was an animal prison, where he t a lizard friend who acted just like this Lizard Monster when smoking pot, only it didn't change color.

"Oh~"

He realized.

So this Lizard Monster was also smoking sothing addictive.

Dealing with addicts is a simple yet complicated matter.

Simple because their craving for money and substances can override their morals, aning they are willing to make any deal with anyone.

But complicated because they often lack credibility and are very unreliable.

Sotis it's not even their intention to break promises; they're so high they don't know what they're doing.

In the animal prison, his lizard friend had tricked him several tis; he survived only because he was cunning.

"Should I go trigger a conversation?"

Xia Kai hesitated.

Looking at the empty alley, he seed to have no other option.

"Hello."

Xia Kai stepped forward, greeting after maintaining a safe distance.

"Oh, a human, have you seen my tail?"

The Lizard Monster glanced at him, chuckling.

"You ate your own tail."

Xia Kai was unfazed by its erratic behavior.

"Oh? No wonder my stomach feels bloated; I thought I was pregnant."

The Lizard Monster patted its belly and said.

"That's impossible because you're male."

Xia Kai replied seriously.

Talking to addicts doesn't require matching their tone; you just need to keep the conversation going.

"Really?"

The Lizard Monster directly took off its pants.

"Ah, you're right, I am male. Oh no, I can't be pregnant, so how can I make my pecs bigger?"

It said dejectedly.

"Just go to the gym and work out."

Xia Kai replied.

"The gym? No way, they won't let in. They're afraid I'll harass the equipnt. Huh, they're just talking nonsense; it's more like the equipnt will harass ."

The Lizard Monster grumbled.

"Indeed, they are too much."

No matter how absurd its words sounded, just agreeing sufficed.

"Right. Hey, I don't think I've seen you before. Why are you talking to ? Are you trying to harass ?"

The Lizard Monster suddenly grew wary.

Its entire eyes turned a dangerous red, nostrils puffed hot steam, and its vertical pupils spun rapidly 360°, which was disconcerting.

"Of course not. Look, I've talked to you so much, we're friends now, right?"

Xia Kai firmly denied and continued to guide.

"Right."

"Since we're friends, why would I harass you?"

He continued.

"True."

The Lizard Monster's color returned to gray-brown, and its pupils stopped spinning.

"Whew~"

Xia Kai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next second, his heart tightened again.

"Friend, I'm hungry, and you sll delicious. Can I have a bite?"

The Lizard Monster asked earnestly.

"Here it cos!"

Xia Kai's mind blared with alarm bells.

This was the trigger for a critical dialogue.

Answer well, and the affection level would rise significantly; answer poorly, and it would trigger a death CGI.

But the problem was how to answer?

Though both were addicts, the lizard in animal prison was rely a lizard, just larger and more anthropomorphic; a bite from it might only take off a chunk of flesh, and its saliva wasn't deadly.

But this Lizard Monster is a demon, and a demon in Hell knows if its bite would devour him whole.

But saying no could very well anger this Lizard Monster, devouring him whole anyway.

"Friend, you're slling the wrong thing. It's not that slls good, it's this that slls good."

Xia Kai pretended to rummage in his pocket and then pulled out a fist-sized, cat food-like, square pellet.

"Na: Universal Carnivore Feed (Disposable)"

"Type: Tool"

"Quality: Common"

"Effect: Restores a small amount of stamina."

"Note: Suitable for the vast majority of carnivorous animals, made entirely of technology and hard work, contains no natural ingredients."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

This is also one of the more popular items in the system marketplace, and there are advanced versions that can directly enhance the eater's affection for the player.
