Rage!
After hearing what Kieran said, the illusory figure was infuriated like never before. It wanted to tear Kieran into pieces, but Gluttony, who was restraining it, kept reminding it of reality.
However, it didn't mean the illusory figure would do nothing.
Similar to most people, when it couldn't do something with its body, words became its only weapon.
"You are here for that!
But if you kill me, you will never get it!
Because … "
"Because you are derived from it?"
Before the illusory figure could finish, Kieran interrupted it.
"How did you know?!"
The illusory figure cried out in shock.
The illusory figure was frightened by Kieran before, but compared to this time, it was nothing. After all, this was its biggest secret.
"It's simple.
You know the legend of the cafeteria and you keep using it to your advantage, but you didn't use the legendary technique.
There are only two possibilities.
First, you didn't find the legendary technique.
"Secondly, you are a derivative of it," Ye Zichen said.
And you just admitted that you are the second possibility. "
Kieran said calmly.
"Are you lying to me?!"
The illusory figure roared angrily. It had never seen such a cunning human before.
Enough rage had made it forget the situation it was in, so … Kieran kindly reminded it of what it was doing.
"Aaaargh! Let go! Make this monster shut its mouth! "
"I will tell you everything!"
Make it let go! "
The illusory figure wailed loudly, but unlike before, Kieran didn't stop Gluttony.
He had gotten all the information he wanted.
The illusory figure before him was useless.
The only unfortunate thing was …
Kieran turned around and looked at the illusory door.
Although there was a high chance that the door was connected to the illusory figure's stomach, his curiosity made him want to find out what was behind it. Unfortunately, his best assistant wasn't with him. Using another assistant without sufficient benefits was irrational in Kieran's point of view. Therefore, he quietly watched the door fade away as the illusory figure faded away.
Ding!
After the mirage faded away, a thumb-sized red crystal appeared on the ground. Before Gluttony could lick it, Kieran picked it up.
[Name: Legacy Crystal (Broken)]
Type: Wonder Item
Rarity: Above Legendary
[Attack: None]
[Defense: Extreme]
[Attributes:???]
Special Effect:???
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Remark: This is a unique item of this world. A legendary chef recorded his life's work and skills in it, but unfortunately, due to an accident and the erosion of time, it became incomplete. Still, it doesn't stop the content from being recorded. You will need a high quality receiver to receive the knowledge in it.]
…
Kieran wasn't surprised when he saw the [Inheritance Crystal (Broken)] in his hand.
Whether it was its appearance or its damage, it was all within Kieran's expectations.
A dead person would leave a body behind, and when the mirage faded away, something would be left behind. Hence, the biggest possibility was to derive the 'real body'.
The mirage's weak performance didn't match the 'legendary item'. Therefore, the possibility of the 'legendary item' being incomplete and damaged had increased greatly.
As for the mirage saying 'if you kill me, you'll never get it'?
How naive must one be to believe the enemy's words?
How naive must one be to believe the enemy's words?
Dak Dak Dak!
Clear footsteps sounded as Eiderburgh jumped out from the hole in the banquet hall.
"I knew it, it must be you!
I just got the authority of the cafeteria … Huh?! The Inheritance Crystal?!
You found it?! "
Before Eiderburgh could finish his angry words, he stopped abruptly. He widened his eyes and looked at the red crystal in Kieran's hand in disbelief, his mouth uncontrollably crying out in shock.
"How did you find it?!"
"No, this isn't right!
"Did you already know it was here?"
The words escaped Eiderburgh's mouth instinctively, but he quickly shook his head.
Because that was impossible!
No one would leave an Inheritance Crystal for someone else after knowing its whereabouts, even if it was a blood relative.
You should know that no one can guarantee that you're the only one who can find the Inheritance Crystal.
If one missed out on an Inheritance Crystal because of hesitation and waiting, it would be too late to cry.
"Can you tell me how you found it?"
Eiderburgh covered his embarrassment and asked curiously.
Although he knew that he had said something stupid, he would choose to leave if it were any other time to avoid the awkwardness caused by his mistake. However, he couldn't do that in the face of this Inheritance Crystal.
It was simple. When he became the head chef of the cafeteria, he did search for the Inheritance Crystal out of curiosity.
It was a carpet search in the true sense of the word, not letting go of a single needle.
However, he found nothing.
If he didn't confirm the rumor was real, he would have thought it was just a rumor spread around the school.
"You have a High Receiver?"
Kieran didn't answer the question, but Eiderburgh understood what he meant.
"Hey, hey, this is blackmail!
"Blackmail, do you understand?"
I just wanted to satisfy my curiosity and you … "
Eiderburgh grumbled loudly, his widened eyes filled with hatred. Unfortunately, Kieran didn't care. Just when Eiderburgh wanted to argue, Kieran jumped back into the banquet hall and was ready to leave.
Curiosity was like poison.
It didn't just kill a cat, it could also make a person restless.
Kieran didn't believe Eiderburgh, as the head chef, wouldn't be interested in the legend right under his nose. The reason why he told Kieran was because he tried his best to find the Inheritance Crystal but failed.
Eiderburgh probably didn't expect that the thing he was looking for had gone beyond the category of an item. It had its own thoughts and consciousness, slowly turning into something like a demon or an urban legend.
Even though Eiderburgh wasn't smart, he knew the professors weren't to be messed with, so he purposely targeted lone students.
Plus the 'cafeteria beheader' as a cover, everything was flawless.
Just as Kieran expected —
"Wait!"
When Kieran walked out of the banquet hall and was ready to go down, Eiderburgh followed him with a dissatisfied and helpless look.
"I don't have a High Receiver, but I know someone who has one, and I can ask him to lend it to you.
"But, the cost involved …"
"You pay."
Kieran said without hesitation.
Gak Tsk Tsk!
Eiderburgh clenched his fists. If it wasn't for the fact that it wasn't inappropriate and he might not be a match for Kieran, he would have taught Kieran what it meant to be taught.
"I'll pay half!"
The words were squeezed out from Eiderburgh's clenched teeth.
"All of it!"
Kieran shook his head.
"60%!"
Eiderburgh gave in again.
"All of it!"
However, Kieran wasn't moved.
"65%, I can't go any higher, I … Wait!"
Kieran turned around and walked away after Eiderburgh's clumsy bargaining.
He had already given up the initiative to negotiate, so it was meaningless. The result was already decided, struggling was just a waste of time.
Kieran hated people who wasted time.
He couldn't force others to do more, but at least he could force himself to not waste time.
"Okay, okay!"
I'll do it!
You really have a heart of stone! "
Eiderburgh gave up on struggling when he saw Kieran walk away without a second thought.
Even though it would cost him six months of salary.
"Same from top to bottom."
After Eiderburgh agreed, Kieran stated the key point.
"Same from top to bottom?"
Eiderburgh was stunned. He quickly thought of the broken roof of the banquet hall, muttering to himself, "That simple?"
"Yes, that simple."
Kieran nodded.
Anything that seemed magical would become normal after the key point was pointed out.
It was like magic.
Before the key point was revealed, everything was magical.
Eiderburgh knew that, so he didn't regret his decision.
"Let's meet here at 8 in the morning.
I'll bring you to Professor Smith. "
"He's the only one in E Block with a High Receiver."
Eiderburgh then returned to the cafeteria.
Even though he knew the key point, Eiderburgh still wanted to investigate further.
Kieran did not linger. He walked towards the small path back to the student dorm. His pace was neither too fast nor too slow. He maintained a pace that allowed his stalker to keep up with him, but it was not too easy.
When they passed through a dense bush, the stalker behind Kieran couldn't help but make his move.
A slightly pungent mist shrouded the area, and a figure appeared in front of Kieran.
"You think killing a Sil Sect member will be fine?
"However, if you hand over the Inheritance Crystal … Ugh!"
Kak!
Before the stalker could finish, Kieran already knew why the stalker was here, so when he walked past the stalker, Kieran conveniently snapped the stalker's neck.
Sil Sect, the one that attacked Kieran last night, should be a sect hired by Derton.
Kieran didn't have any more thoughts about this sect for the time being.
The most direct impression he had of them was moving items and equipment.
Just like now.
An orange glowing ping-pong ball item appeared in Kieran's hand.
[Name: Paralysis Ball]
[Type: Wonder Item]
[Rarity: Rare]
[Attack: Weak]
[Attribute: Paralysis Wind, 1/1]
[Effect: None]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Remark: It is the basic support weapon of the Sil Sect.]
…
[Paralysis Wind: After tossing, covers a 15-meter radius, targets with Constitution lower than A rank will be paralyzed for 3 to 6 seconds (Duration depends on Constitution)]
…
After putting away [Paralysis Ball], Kieran looked at the darkness beside him.
A few seconds later, the darkness started to wiggle and a man in a black outfit walked out.
"I mean no harm!
I am Oaker.
I am here to represent the Gourmet Society to extend an invitation to you, 2567! "
The man raised his left hand and removed his mask with his right hand, revealing a young, handsome face.
"Gourmet Society?"
Kieran frowned.
It was the first time he heard the term.
"We are not recognized by the school but we are a secret society. Don't worry, we have our own base and corresponding benefits.
"Of course, your invitation is not compulsory."
But if you join our Gourmet Society, you will get unexpected benefits. "
Oaker tried his best to express his intentions in a roundabout way.
Oaker was regretting his choice of this seemingly easy mission. After witnessing the scene that happened, Oaker had categorized Kieran as the kind of person that he shouldn't provoke.
The slightest disagreement and Kieran would make a move.
His ruthlessness was something that even the 4th and 5th year students who were known for their ruthlessness couldn't achieve. Likewise, those people didn't have the strength to do so.
Not everyone could ignore the Sil Sect's Paralysis Wind.
Oaker was able to resist the Paralysis Wind because of his special abilities and two rare items but Kieran was different. Oaker could tell Kieran relied on his own body to ignore the Paralysis Wind.
After arriving at such a conclusion, Oger became even more careful and vigilant.
"Like?"
Kieran was a little interested when he heard the benefits.
"Information!
We share a lot of top-secret information!
And food!
As long as you complete the corresponding mission, you will be able to get the corresponding food! "
After hearing Kieran's question, Oaker, who thought he could complete the mission, said with a lift in his spirits.
"Is there any food above Proper Meal class?"
Kieran asked.
"T-This … There is … But …"
Oaker's face instantly withered.
Proper Meal class food wasn't cabbage, how could it be found so easily? If it was someone else, Oaker wouldn't mind slightly bluffing them but before Kieran, Oaker didn't even dare to bluff, so he started to stutter right away.
Kieran shook his head at the stuttering Oaker.
It seemed like the so-called Delicacy Society would have a hard time getting its hands on Proper Meal class food, let alone something above it.
Kieran could even imagine how a Bento class food would be fought over when it appeared.
Kieran had no interest in joining such a society.
Without further ado, Kieran strode out of the dorm.
Looking at Kieran's back, Oaker knew his mission had failed.
He was a little unwilling.
But the reality was indisputable.
Oaker shook his head with a sigh and wanted to leave but the moment he turned around, he suddenly thought of something.
He turned around and shouted.
