The woman's last sentence sent a shiver down Han Fei's spine.
To convince him that there was nothing wrong with the food, the woman admitted that human flesh did not taste good. Perhaps from the woman's point of view, it was a completely different story from Han Fei's perspective.
How did she know that human flesh did not taste good? Had she eaten human flesh before?
Staring at the woman's sickening gaze, Han Fei slowly picked up the chopsticks.
He picked up the bloody organs and placed them in his bowl. Then he pretended to accidentally brush his fingers against the organs.
The system would identify certain special items like the cursed table knife. With that in mind, Han Fei tried to use the game system to identify the food on the plate.
If the system gave him a notification, then it meant that it was a 'special' item and the system's description would determine whether he could eat it or not.
If the system did not give him a notification, then it meant that the food on the plate was normal and it would not kill him.
As his fingers brushed past the organs, the system's cold voice echoed in Han Fei's mind.
"Notification for Player 0000! You've discovered Grade G food — Cursed Pig's Heart!
"Cursed Pig's Heart: This pig's heart has been soaked in malice and hatred not long after it was plucked. The first time it is eaten, there is a 95% chance of being cursed and a 5% chance of obtaining a random attribute point."
Food was one of the main attractions of Perfect Life. The game provided a menu of cuisines from all over the world. Players could also participate in the creation of their own food. There were many jobs related to food in the game like chef, food connoisseur and so on.
This was a very normal thing to do but Han Fei had completely forgotten about it after he entered the game. He had been struggling between life and death. He would be thankful if he was not eaten by other 'people', much less enjoy food.
Looking at the pig's heart on the plate and smelling its alluring scent, Han Fei decided to trust the system's judgment.
He didn't have much of a choice right now. If he just praised others for their cooking but didn't eat it, he would be exposed immediately.
To improve his relationship with Neighbour 1052, Han Fei had to eat it.
He swallowed before the woman's eyes. Then he used the chopsticks to taste it. The deliciousness instantly activated all his taste buds. Han Fei seemed to be completely attracted by the delicacy. He grabbed the pig's heart and started to munch on it.
'Delicate! Tender! Sweet! Rich in layers, soft but not rotten! "
Han Fei listed out all the words he knew to describe food. As he munched on the food, he praised it madly.
Watching Han Fei gobble down the food, the woman's smile widened. Her bloodshot eyes stared right at Han Fei.
Before he knew it, he had finished the pig heart in his hand and the system notification popped up in his mind again.
"First time eating a cursed pig's heart, obtained a random attribute point as a reward, Charm minus 1!"
Hearing the system's voice, Han Fei was so stunned that he even forgot to chew.
"Charm reduced by one? I thought that my charm had reached negative ten, I didn't think that there was still room for it to go down! Is this a reward or a curse? "
At this point, Han Fei realized that in this game, the attribute of Charm was rather unique. His Charm did not appear to apply to living humans but to monsters and Specters.
According to Perfect Life's official website, the player's charm level directly affected the NPCs' attitude toward them.
In a normal game, the higher the charm, the better the NPCs would treat the player but in this hellish game, it appeared to be the other way around.
Han Fei looked at the negative 11 charm value in his stat window. He had come to terms with it. Everyone had their own charm, he too had his own hellish charm.
"Is it good?" The woman's eyes never left Han Fei. She used the cursed knife to slice off a small piece of meat and placed it in her mouth.
Her table manners were much better than Han Fei's. After chewing for a while, the smile on her face slowly disappeared and she spat out the piece of meat.
"I'm not used to eating these things, compared to animals …" The woman used her chopsticks to pick up a strand of hair from another plate, "I prefer to eat ghosts."
What happened next shocked Han Fei. There was a scream coming from the woman's hair. Listening to the scream, the woman smiled again. This time, her smile was prettier than she had ever seen before.
"Pica?" Han Fei was curious about how the woman died. The woman's behavior was too strange. He wanted to know more about this crazy woman.
"This is the best meal I've ever had! Can I come here more often in the future? I promise I'll bring you other presents. " Han Fei seemed to be mesmerized by the food. He looked at the woman with utmost sincerity. In fact, he looked quite pitiful, making it hard for the woman to reject him.
"Of course, I'm happy to see you enjoying yourself." The woman nodded, she was very satisfied with Han Fei's attitude.
"By the way, how should I address you?" Han Fei had been calling the woman 'big sister' for a long time. In the end, he felt it was better to ask for the woman's name. After all, it was not very honorable to ask for the woman's name behind her back.
"I have many names." The woman bit on the finger of her right hand. Blood smeared her lips. "Recently, I've been using the name Xu Qin."
"Notification for Player 0000! Your performance has gained Xu Qin's approval! Friendliness level with Xu Qin increases by 10! A peaceful neighborly relationship is the first step to a perfect life! "
Hearing the notification, Han Fei glanced at the mission interface.
"Grade G Hidden Mission, Do Not Turn Back, completed! Obtained basic reward — 1 Free Skill Point!
"Warning! The reward for the hidden mission varies according to the completion rate! Not only did you not turn back within 15 minutes, you've also successfully used your surroundings to kill the non-locals that have snuck into the residential building. Mission completion rate is over 100%! Double EXP buff! Unique hidden mission reward — Unlocking the hidden profession, Midnight Butcher.
"Midnight Butcher (Hidden Profession): To become the Midnight Butcher, you need to kill 10 non-locals that have snuck into the residential area before your character reaches level 10.
"Notification for Player 0000! Hidden professions have their own unique profession power and profession specialty! Extremely rare!
"Notification for Player 0000! You've successfully reached level 4! Obtained 1 Free Attribute Point! "
Looking at the mission interface, Han Fei first allocated the free skill point to acting and then to stamina.
As his level increased, he could feel the obvious change in his body and acting skills.
In terms of acting, he could use the smallest of expressions to capture the character's heart. His physical fitness was improving as well.
Actually, there was a deeper reason why Han Fei allocated the attribute point to stamina. When he touched the cursed table knife in Room 1052 earlier today, he almost fell victim to the curse.
Right now, his body was still too weak. He couldn't even hold the saber. He had to become stronger as soon as possible.
