Exodus Tales

  Exodus Tales

  Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei also knew that although there appeared to be no limits to stacking the Eye of Desire, there should be a limit to stacking it. Moreover, the description noted that it only added to a person’s character and did not truly increase it.

  In other words, the Eye of Desire’s main power was creating a powerful hallucination.

  Additionally, there was another point that needed to be mentioned. If these eyes were coupled with the [Illusion Attack] from the Scarlet Pheasant Congee, normal creatures would not be able to block it.

  Additionally, Wei Xiao Bei did not doubt that the Core of the Thousand Eyed Devil’s third effect was [Illusion Attack] and to meet the conditions he needed to merge the eyeballs.

  Now, the number of Eyes of Terror in his possession was 147. The Eyes of Slaughter, on the other hand, were so pitifully few, having only nine of them.

  Nine was a lucky number, but if these nine were stacked together, it was not a lucky matter for his enemies.

  After digging all the eyes, Wei Xiao Bei thrust his great spear on the corpse of the Thousand Eyed Devil. Because the great spear absorbed the energy quickly, the corpse portion quickly dried up, causing the great spear to be unable to absorb any more energy.

  After switching places more than ten times, the Thousand Eyed Devil’s corpse became grotesquely shaped, like clay that had been kneaded.

  After absorbing the remaining energy of the corpse, he had pulled out the great spear. At this time, the corpse leaked out a dark yellow light like a flower about to bloom.

  Wei Xiao Bei stored his great spear. He knew that the great spear had absorbed a lot of energy, but it was not enough to make it evolve. At the very least, he would need the energy of two more Thousand Eyed Devils. Only then could he evolve the great spear.

  It must be said that a big monster like the Thousand Eyed Devil that reached 3-Star Terror was not easy to find.

  For example, if it was a Scarlet Pheasant that was not bigger than a palm, even if it was strong, the amount of energy contained within it was limited.

  After separating from the corpse, Wei Xiao Bei was slightly disappointed.

  Wei Xiao Bei was hoping that when the Thousand Eyed Devil’s energy was consumed, Lake Cui would collapse and give him another Dust World Stone.

  However, it was only false hope.

  Thinking about it, Lake Cui in the Dust World could have been placed in by the thoughts of the people, meaning it had the possibility of collapsing. However, after the Thousand Eyed Devil died, it did not collapse at all.

  After returning to shore, Zhang Jin Hua was still there. Moreover, she had woken up from her sleep.

  What stunned Wei Xiao Bei was that Zhang Jin Hua had crawled to the edge of the lake and was looking at her reflection while giggling as if she was enchanted.

  Wei Xiao Bei coughed. There was no movement from Zhang Jin Hua as she still foolishly looked at her reflection. From time to time she would say things such as, “Beauty truly is a sin. All men should bow down and worship an absolute beauty like me.”


  PFFT!

  Wei Xiao Bei did not want to eavesdrop on other people talking to themselves, but his ears were too sharp and he could not help it.

  After hearing her words, he could not help but laugh.

  Zhang Jin Hua had been enraptured by her reflection.

  However, like a normal person, after her perception, persuasiveness, and character increased by 7 points, her nature would naturally increase. Moreover, with a weakening of 2 points in her willpower and her narcissistic personality, it would naturally turn her into a female Narcissus.

  A normal person like Zhang Jin Hua would not be able to escape from its effects.

  Zhang Jin Hua did not jeopardize him, thus he had suppressed the urge to slap Zhang Jin Hua to death, and instead, he threw a rock.

  When the rock landed on the water, the waves had disrupted Zhang Jin Hua’s image in the water.

  Following that, Zhang Jin Hua’s expression became stunned. In the next instant, Wei Xiao Bei had pulled her away from the edge of the lake.

  “What are you doing?”


  Zhang Jin Hua angrily shouted at Wei Xiao Bei.

  “Return my beauty to me!”


  There was no doubt that she was deeply poisoned.

  This made Wei Xiao Bei regret feeding her.

  No matter what, it was a rare-quality dish. If there were any side-effects, a normal person would truly not be able to bear it.

  If a normal person’s personality had defects, then the damage would be greater.

  “You are already beautiful enough. You don’t need to look at the water anymore as you are more beautiful than the water.”


  To make up for what he had caused, Wei Xiao Bei endured the disgust in his heart and complimented her.

  “Really? Are you telling the truth? Am I very beautiful?”


  Perhaps because she had not been complemented by people very much, Wei Xiao Bei’s words made Zhang Jin Hua feel disbelief. However, in the next moment, she once more began talking to herself, “It must be like that. That’s right. This boy has been looking at me for so long, how could he be wrong?”


  Wei Xiao Bei admits that he had overthought it and that Zhang Jin Hua was not a normal person.

  With narcissism to this degree, she was already beyond a normal person.

  Wei Xiao Bei had decided that he would temporarily ignore Zhang Jin Hua. He planned to finish the requirements of the cooking skill while he was still under the effects of Fortune Tea. At the same time, he planned to make food that recovers his stamina and mental strength. Naturally, if he could, he would be willing to make immortal quality dishes.

  However, he knew that this was an impossible thing to do unless he had more Scarlet Pheasant to cook with.

  Stir-fried black beetles and fried tentacles were two of the worst rare-quality dishes that he had made.

  The stir-fried black beetle only had the effects of increasing fragrance and taste, and recovering stamina and mental strength.

  However, this was the limit of using the black beetle as an ingredient to make rare-quality dishes. After all, the black beetles were only 1-Star Creatures.

  On the other hand, a deep-fried tentacle had another effect compared to the stir-fried black beetle. It could cause hallucinations and had no status increasing effects.

  However, these two dishes were enough if it was just for completing the requirements of his [Cooking] skill.

  For the stir-fried black beetles, three black beetles were a portion. On the other hand, the fried tentacle made twenty portions per pot. Moreover, it took only a short amount of time to cook.

  After busying himself, Wei Xiao Bei cooked forty-one portions of stir-fried black beetle and a hundred and twenty portions of fried tentacles.

  Now, he only needed to make eight more portions of the rare-quality dishes to complete the requirements and level up his [Cooking] skill.

  However, he was unable to continue concentrating on making new dishes.

  Zhang Jin Hua had been staring at Wei Xiao Bei without moving. Even if he had the skill [Indomitable Spirit], he could not focus on cooking with all his attention.

  “What’s wrong?”


  Wei Xiao Bei waved his hand in front of her.

  Zhang Jin Hua blushed as she shyly asked, “Seeing that your cooking skills aren’t bad, why don’t I help you find a job? We are lacking in a chef and I can tell my father about you.”


  Wei Xiao Bei was slightly stunned. It was normal for her to find a chef, but her tone of voice was the same as talking to a lover.

  He did not know that while he was concentrating on cooking, Zhang Jin Hua, who had been watching from the side, had many different thoughts.

  One thought was thinking about how beautiful she was and how she needed to find a smart, handsome, rich man with a mansion and many servants to marry. Another was how the servants needed to be reliable and trustworthy as well as have potential. Then her eyes had moved to the cook in front of her. Since their family had a small restaurant, they might be able to become a big restaurant if they relied on this cook’s skills.

  It could be said that women change their hearts easily, but Zhang Jin Hua had changed her heart too much.

  In the end, her thoughts became more realistic and tossed away the thoughts of a mansion, rows of servants, and top-quality goods, moving her target to Wei Xiao Bei.

  Naturally, the reason was imagining how Wei Xiao Bei looked if he took a bath and removed the scabs on his face.

  Wei Xiao Bei’s current charm was at 14.14 points. Compared to other attributes, it was very low, but compared to the charm attribute of a normal person, he could be considered handsome.

  With this, it was understandable why Zhang Jin Hua threw her imagination to the back of her mind.

  “I already have a job. Thank you for your kind intentions.”


  After being stunned, Wei Xiao Bei immediately refused. From his point of view, let alone finding a job, just the thought of having a connection to her made him want to go far away.

  However, Wei Xiao Bei had underestimated her.

  “It’s all right, you can just quit your job. The salary at my place is high. I’ll give you 2,500 yuan a month.”


  The salary was indeed quite high, but it should be similar to their waiter’s salary.

  It must be known that in Cui Hu City, if any chef was a formal chef, then their salary would not go below 3,500 yuan. If it was in a big restaurant, then the salary was more than 5,000 yuan. Wei Xiao Bei’s salary at the Long Hu Dou Restaurant was around 12,000 yuan a month. Naturally, this was him working for only three to four days. If he had worked for eight hours a day, then his salary would increase a lot.

  Moreover, this was only due to Cui Hu City being inland. If it was a high-class restaurant close to the sea, then the salary would be higher.

  It was said that the annual salary was around one million.

  Thus, when he heard her words, Wei Xiao Bei wanted to curse her.
