Chapter 228: Chapter 122: Game of Divine Jealousy Cleared, New Divine Grace GET√!_3

As the orb entered his mouth, it popped like a soap bubble, the tender golden sphere touching his palate and instantly melting into a stream of warmth that flowed down his throat and into his stomach.

It felt as though, after trudging through the icy, snowy wilderness, exhausted and famished, he suddenly drank a cup of hot milk.

Comfortable! Enjoyable!

Lin Baici’s body temperature rose, and at the same time, his brain acquired some mysterious knowledge, which took root and imprinted itself onto his neurons.

A sharp pain assaulted his brain but only lasted a few seconds; in his childhood, Lin Baici felt a sense of immense satiety.

Fulfillment! Exhilaration!

New Divine Grace, A Sip of A Hundred Flavors, acquired√.

[Each person’s life is a dish, whether it’s sweet and sour, bitter or spicy, full of flavor, or utterly revolting and tasteless!]

Lin Baici carefully savored this Divine Grace.

A Sip of A Hundred Flavors, true to its name, meant that just by inhaling a breath through his nose, he could distinguish all the intermingled scents it contained.

His sense of smell was tremendously enhanced.

[Yii-ha, a very practical Divine Grace.]

[As a God of Eating, you should have a keen nose, to seek out delicious food and to discern the quality of food.]

[A camel can smell rainwater from 80 kilometers away, a bear can detect the stench of animal carcasses 20 miles distant, what about you?]

[You can smell the scent of a female with abundant hormone secretions from ten miles away!]

"What do you mean by that, Eater God?"

Lin Baici, speechless, said, "Other animals use it to find food, why does it turn into finding females for me? Am I that desperate?"

[The Nine-Holes Fish is confirmed, can’t you understand a metaphor?]

[In any case, before activation, your sense of smell has already improved, allowing you to detect many everyday odors that go unnoticed; once activated, it will significantly amplify, enabling you to smell certain scents from several kilometers away, even over a dozen kilometers.]

[However, it is not recommended to activate Divine Grace frequently, as the natural world has too many odors, some of which are quite intense and will severely affect your appetite!]

[Additionally, this Divine Grace has onemajor drawback: your sense of smell is too sensitive, leading you to have higher requirements for the quality of ingredients.]

[Ingredients that are slightly less fresh can’t be detected by many, but for you, they might as well already be rotten and spoiled.]

"Isn’t that terrible?"

Lin Baici felt numb all over.

Food is paramount; one eats three meals a day.

If eating every day were to become a torment, who could endure it?

As the saying goes, what’s a little dirt? If it doesn’t make you sick, it’s fine. That’s just self-deprecating, after all, who doesn’t want to eat food that’s clean, hygienic, and fresh?

But for the hardworking masses, they neither have the energy nor the means to afford it.

"Good thing I never plan on going to Tianzhu in this lifetime, otherwise, I’d be done for!"

Lin Baici thought about the reportedly somewhat smelly masala.

Hiss!

He was already starting to feel unwell.

Unconsciously, Lin Baici sniffed, and then...

Ugh!

Lin Baici felt like vomiting.

In the rental room, ubiquitous with unfinished takeaway boxes not thrown out, dog feces, garbage, and randomly scurrying cockroaches, their odors blended together, and it was simply too much.

Ugh!

Lin Baici covered his mouth.

"Red Medicine, I can’t take it anymore, I’m going out!"

Lin Baici ran outside.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Xia Hongyao was startled.

"It’s nothing, just overwhelmed by the smell!"

Lin Baici ran out of the building in one breath, vigorously fanning the air in front of his nose to speed up the circulation, which made him feel much better.

High Ponytail doesn’t wear makeup, so is that her body odor?

No, that’s not right,

It must be the scent of her shower gel.

It’s quite pleasant!

Then Lin Baici’s brow furrowed, because before the sound of approaching footsteps became dense, he had already smelled many odors.

At least twenty people.

...

Let’s turn back the clock half an hour.

After Xia Hongmian arrived, the head of Department Three immediately greeted her and reported the situation.

"The Mirage system has already been deployed. Since it’s confirmed that Xia Hongyao and a wild God Hunter have entered the Taboo game, and considering that the rule pollution has not spread widely, only affecting most of the Boxue Community, the members of Department Three followed the disaster response procedure. They have not entered the rule pollution but are on standby!"

"The current pollution level is provisionally set at 5.0."

The head of Department Three spoke rapidly, yet his report was clear and organized.

Rule pollution is very dangerous, especially after reaching levels above 5.0. There’s a significant risk when God Hunters enter, so under normal circumstances, if a safety officer has already gone in, then everyone else would usually wait for orders.

The safety officer who enters first, as a rule, avoids purifying rule pollution but prioritizes gathering intel.

Of course, if the polluted area is too large and affects too many people, then the safety officers will enter the polluted area immediately to seal the Taboo things.

’Mirage’ is a system developed by the Jiuzhou Security Bureau using Taboo things. Once deployed, it can create a realistic environment while also blocking all sounds, light, etc., to conceal the polluted area and prevent it from being discovered and spied upon by outsiders.

For example, at this moment, people living around the Boxue Community looking in this direction would still see a community’s nightscape, but in reality, that’s the effect of the Mirage.

After the head of Department Three finished speaking, he glanced at Xia Hongmian, "Shall we enter the polluted area now?"

He knew that Xia Hongyao was Director Xia’s sister.

After seeing Xia Hongyao and a young man entering Boxue Community from the surveillance footage, honestly, the head of Department Three was planning to go in for the rescue without waiting, but considering Xia Hongmian’s way of handling things, he didn’t dare to breach protocols.

"No need!"

Xia Hongmian couldn’t abuse her power for personal gain, even if she was worried about her sister’s safety. If she was going to enter the polluted area, she’d go herself.

"Proceed with the operations as planned!"

Xia Hongmian ordered, then she just stood under a streetlamp, waiting in silence.

There were moths drawn to the light, hovering under the lamp.

The night breeze of early autumn blew, bringing a slight chill with it.

Xia Hongmian stood there, not speaking, as silent as a statue. Half an hour later, she suddenly looked up, and then glanced at her watch.

"That was quick!"

A flicker of surprise crossed Xia Hongmian’s eyes.

She was well aware of her sister’s intelligence and abilities, so for a Taboo game with a pollution intensity of 5.0 to be purified so quickly, it must have been that young man’s doing.
