Black Cat finished her strawberry cake.
She jumped onto Jang Young-ho's shoulder and reached out her paw in a certain direction.
"Meow!"
Black Cat called out.
Jang Young-ho drank the last mouthful of liquor and said: "Let's go"
Gu Qing Shan and Ye Fei Li stood up and followed Jang Young-ho to the back door of the bar.
"Guests"
A waiter politely walked up to the door.
"The Apocalypse outside is still ongoing, what kind of service would you like?"
Jang Young-ho looked at Black Cat.
Black Cat pointed at the door with her paw and resolutely said: "Meow!"
Jang Young-ho replied: "We want to leave from this door"
The waiter replied: "You might not know this, but to leave from this door, you need the permission of the Law of Chaos"
"Is that so?"
Ye Fei Li handed him a gold coin.
"Please tell us the details" he said.
The waiter didn't accept the gold coin, instead, he respectfully bowed and said: "If you can afford the information, I can tell you the situation of this door"
"Of course, please tell us" Ye Fei Li replied.
The waiter walked up to the door, put his hand on the handle, and said: "I'm a waiter of this bar, as well as an information broker, so when I put my hand on this door, the corresponding Law will be a secret room"
He pulled the door open.
Sure enough, it was a secret room with a long table and two rows of chairs inside.
"Please"
The three of them followed the waiter into the secret room.
The door closed.
This place was extremely quiet, completely devoid of any noise from the bar.
"Then, as an esteemed guest of this bar, the first piece of information is free"
The waiter explained: "In this world where the Apocalypse is constantly descending, the Law of Chaos has established numerous settlements in this world, and these settlements are the only places that can guarantee the safety of your life"
"For example, the Nightshade Bar"
At this point, the waiter went silent.
The three of them waited for a bit before understanding.
— — That was the end of the first message.
Ye Fei Li took out a bag of gems and threw it on the table.
"Please continue."
The attendant picked up the gemstone bag and weighed it in his hand.
"The conditions to enter each settlement are different, but as long as you enter one, you can live there for a long time."
"If you want to leave a settlement, you must pass through the Chaos Gate of the settlement before you can head to the next place."
The waiter shut his mouth again.
The three of them waited for a while before they reacted.
However, this kind of information was indeed very precious …
Ye Fei Li threw out a large chest filled with ancient gold coins and various colored gems, which fell to the ground with a clatter.
Gold coins and gems jumped out and rolled all over the ground.
"Tell me everything you know in one go," Ye Fei Li said.
The attendant's brows twitched uncontrollably as he looked at the treasures on the floor.
"When you want to leave your settlement, place your hand on the [Chaos Gate], and the gate will know where to send you."
He continued: "However, the Chaos Gate will issue a bet for each person, only by winning the bet will you be transported to the next place by the Chaos Gate"
"— — -by the way, there are actually many dangerous settlements in this world. The Nightshade Bar is a very good place, it's very safe, there is no need for you to leave"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "What do we need to bet for that bet?"
The waiter smiled: "Your lives, of course"
Gu Qing Shan then asked: "Have you been to any other settlements?"
The waiter shook his head: "I haven't, I signed a 1000 year service contract with the bar in exchange for its protection — — you need to understand, not everyone is as rich as you are"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Wealth is the pass to the bar, what about the other settlements?"
The waiter replied: "The other settlements don't necessarily care about wealth, they have even stricter entry requirements. If you don't meet the requirements, there is only one way to enter, which is to sign a contract like I did and serve the settlement for a long period of time"
"If you can win the bet, you need to be mentally prepared"
"Understood"
…
The three of them came out from the secret room.
The waiter didn't stop them.
Gu Qing Shan placed her hand on the [Chaos Gate].
In an instant, lines of gray text appeared in the void before the three of them.
[Due to your immense wealth, you've found the way to pass as quickly as possible]
[Mortals on the Apotheotic Combat, you will face two bets, which are respectively an interrogation, a battle to the death, and an assassination]
[Your bet is your life, if you win, you will be able to pass; if you lose, you will immediately lose your life]
[The bets shall now begin!]
The grey text slowly faded away.
A monster with a long tail, two horns, and four hooves appeared in front of the three of them.
Tightly bound to the ground, it looked up and spat at the three of them.
「 I won't tell you anything 」 it roared.
The three of them went silent.
Their gazes became a bit strange.
"This guy — — -" Ye Fei Li muttered.
"It looks like …" Gu Qing Shan hesitantly said.
"Looks like a bull?" Jang Young-ho asked.
New grey text appeared in front of their eyes:
[First round: Interrogation]
[This is a Primordial Ox expert who doesn't fear death]
[You must interrogate it to find out its motive and goal for infiltrating the Great Gate world]
[Time limit: 1 hour]
Gu Qing Shan cheerfully said: "Primordial Ox … I'll handle this"
"No" Jang Young-ho replied, "If we use that ability of yours, we'll definitely be able to pass this round, so we need to preserve the chance for you to gain supernatural powers"
"What do you mean?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"… I'll give it a try first, if we can solve the problem without using supernatural powers, we'll be able to save time" Jang Young-ho said.
"Very well" Gu Qing Shan retreated.
Jang Young-ho took a step forward and rolled up his sleeves: "Interrogating can also be considered my specialty"
He ignored the Ox monster's reaction and began to slowly touch its body.
The atmosphere changed.
At the start, when the three of them challenged the [Chaos] gate, quite a few people gathered around in interest to see what was going on.
But now, Jang Young-ho was touching a monster.
Everyone's gazes became strange.
Jang Young-ho didn't care about what the others were thinking as his hands slowly moved along the monster's body.
"Hey, old Zhang, what are you doing?" Ye Fei Li couldn't help but ask.
Jang Young-ho was fully focused on touching it as he casually replied: "Primordial Ox, they're a bit different from modern Oxen, I'm unfamiliar with them, so I need to touch them first to find all the parts of their bones and flesh that can cause pain"
His hand lightly pressed between the monster's ribs.
The monster screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
"Ah — — why are you screaming so loudly? I haven't even started yet "Jang Young-ho scowled.
5 minutes later.
Jang Young-ho pulled his hand back.
He took out a long box from his chest pocket.
Opening the box, he saw various needles, scissors, tweezers, daggers, spiral needles, hammers, syringes, etc.
Jang Young-ho took out a gleaming dagger and cut off a piece of meat from the Ox monster's face.
He closed his eyes, sniffed the meat a few times, and said: "Ox face, very few people eat it, but it's actually quite tasty …"
Gu Qing Shan took a set of cooking utensils from Ye Fei Li and rolled up her sleeves as she walked forward.
"This doesn't require any supernatural powers, I'll be your assistant" he said.
Jang Young-ho nodded.
He stabbed the dagger into the monster's left chest and lightly twisted it.
「 Aaaargh! I won't tell you anything! 」 the Ox monster roared in anger.
Jang Young-ho ignored it and told Gu Qing Shan: "Catch it well, this is a decent piece of meat from its body, if possible, make it medium rare"
"Got it"
Gu Qing Shan began to cook.
A few moments later.
The meat was done.
Jang Young-ho used a plate to catch the meat and crouched down in front of the monster.
He randomly inserted various tools into the most painful parts of the monster's body, waited for it to howl for a while before taking them out.
Then, he used the dagger to cut the Ox monster's body.
"Who would've thought a guy like you would have such meat quality"
While saying so, he ate the piece of meat right in front of the monster.
The Ox Tribe monster stared blankly at this scene. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
It was sweating profusely.
— — -the physical pain was secondary.
There was a person sitting in front of you, eating your meat while chatting with you.
This had already surpassed the limits of its imagination.
After eating the piece of meat, Jang Young-ho took out an even thinner dagger and crouched down again.
He began to use the dagger to mark the monster's head and stomach.
"What are you doing?" the Ox monster couldn't help but ask.
"While you're still alive, I'm going to eat your brains" Jang Young-ho answered without a care in the world.
The monster was stunned for a split second.
It looked at this person, then at the other person.
The other person was preparing a saw, a screwdriver, as well as a variety of spices.
The Ox monster spoke like a machine gun: 「 Everyone, I was wrong, I came to the world of Chaos in order to find the whereabouts of that world-destroying shadow from the Age of Immemorial, I want to obtain its power, I beg of you, don't eat my brains, if you want to eat them, wait until I'm dead, I beg of you 」
As soon as it finished.
In an instant, it disappeared from the bar.
Lines of glowing text appeared in front of the three of them:
[First round: Extorting a confession (completed)]
[Congratulations, you didn't use any supernatural powers, you only used cruelty to win this bet]
[Jang Young-ho, your cruelty has won the favor of [Chaos]]
[Cruelty towards your enemies is actually a form of power]
[If you can't even be cruel, then don't even think about facing the Apocalypse]
[Now for the second round of the bet]
[Death match]
Gu Qing Shan put away her cooking utensils and asked: "Have you eaten cow brains before?"
Jang Young-ho put away all his tools and clicked his tongue: "Cow brains are so stupid, how could I possibly eat them?"
