Deities Are All Just My Food
Chapter 629 - 313: Counting the Harvest_2

Chapter 629: Chapter 313: Counting the Harvest_2

When you walk among the living with a zombie’s gait, the majority of your desires and emotions will fade away, leaving you with little attachment to the world.

Dead people,

what need do they have for feelings?

Lin Baici frowned. This Divine Grace seemed to be only good for playing dead; was it of no other use?

If it was about calming the mind, Lin Baici had Mantra Buddha Resound. Whenever he felt annoyed, all he had to do was recite the scriptures. Zombie’s gait was nearly useless.

As for playing dead, Lin Baici was a person with great pride in his heart. He couldn’t bring himself to feign death to escape certain dangers.

The other Divine Grace, called Revival of the Living Dead, as the name suggests, allowed Lin Baici to revive a corpse, which had died within the last twelve hours, into an undead form to live once more.

This revived fellow would almost forget all memories from before their death and completely obey Lin Baici’s commands, becoming his servant.

This living dead would exist for a minimum of three days and a maximum of seven days.

"What’s the use of this?"

Lin Baici pondered; this skill would be divine for perverts with necrophilia, but he didn’t need it, right?

Wait a minute!

Could he resurrect the people he killed as meat shields?

However, doing this would surely provoke public outrage, as desecrating corpses is considered heretical and demonic in any culture or country.

This Divine Grace was truly characteristic of a villainous Big Devil.

[In this world, the law of the jungle prevails. Some creatures ’play dead’ to hunt and evade being hunted!]

[Once zombie’s gait is activated, you will perfectly enter a ’state of death’.]

[Resurrected bodies temporarily won’t rot and can be used as emergency food, leisure tools, in short, a corpse’s utility is great. Don’t be disdainful.]

The Eater God gave his comment: These two Divine Graces might not directly enhance your combat strength and have limited general use, but under certain specific circumstances, they are very useful.

"I get the part about food, but what the hell is a ’leisure tool’?"

Lin Baici was speechless, "What do you take me for?"

[Once you’ve been stranded alone on a deserted island for ten years, you’ll understand!]

Lin Baici pursed his lips and took out the last video tape he found. This thing was from an era long gone; the video players needed to play it were long obsolete.

[After someone watches this ’Pusan Trip’ video tape, there’s a 70% chance they will become a living dead, and a 25% chance that their immunity will be enhanced, warding off all kinds of diseases and maintaining their health for several years.]

"What about the remaining 5%?"

Lin Baici asked with curiosity.

[You become Patient Zero, yourself unharmed, but if you bite others, they will get infected!]

Lin Baici’s eyebrows raised; if this tape fell into the hands of the wicked, it could lead to huge trouble, causing worldwide chaos and economic decline.

There’s also a one in four chance of attaining a healthy body, which for a retiree might be worth the gamble, because who wouldn’t want a high-quality life in their later years?

[Once you collect three video tapes, you will earn the favor of a God and be allowed to leave the Busan Divine Ruins alive!]

Leave?

Not even considering it!

Lin Baici planned on feasting on a God!

Beyond these, during the game, Lin Baici also obtained a divine doctor’s journal.

When someone reads this journal, they might directly learn some medical skills, but they might also contract the diseases recorded within it.

Lin Baici thought it was better to find a God Hunter with healing Divine Graces rather than risk learning medicine himself.

Sunny Doll and Red Demon were snatched from the hands of the people of Dayao. The former was suitable for assassination, and the latter Lin Baici gave to Gu Qingqiu.

The main issue was that using these items also required some wisdom. Hua Yue Yu and Kim Myungjin were still lacking in that regard, and Xia Hongyao didn’t need it.

Although Gu Qingqiu could be crazy at times, she was very reliable and worth trusting based on her performance so far.

Lin Baici rested a few more minutes, then got up to head back, lest he reached the station and hadn’t regrouped with the others, leading to everyone being scattered, which would be troublesome.

...

In the ordinary carriage, everyone tended to external wounds and ate some food before starting to sleep.

After running around for more than ten days straight, even the ironman Quan Sangin was exhausted. Only Xia Hongyao was energetic, taking notes in a small notebook.

"What are you writing?"

Lin Baici sat beside the High Ponytail and asked softly.

Kim Myungjin and Hua Yue Yu were asleep, and Gu Qingqiu was leaning back in her chair, fiddling with the Red Demon.

"Summing up the gains and losses from this rule contamination!"

It was a pity that mobile phones couldn’t be used in the God’s ruins, otherwise, she would have loved to show off in the WeChat group.

But there was no rush; she could double down on the showing off once she got out.

Xia Hongyao used to chat with those Dragon Level leaders and actually felt very inferior because her own combat record was too poor. But after this outing, she wouldn’t be able to help feeling confident.

This was the famous Ten-Year Busan Trip in the God’s ruins.

There were rumors that Gods were present inside. If she could capture one alive...

Wouldn’t she soar to being a Nine Provinces Dragon Wing?

Slap!

Lin Baici bent his finger and flicked Xia Hongyao’s forehead, "Stop daydreaming and rest up. We might arrive at our stop in a few minutes!"

"Hmm!"

Xia Hongyao knew exactly what to do now, so she closed her eyes.

Lin Baici also wanted to catch some sleep, but Gu Qingqiu’s big eyes, distinctly black and white, were fixed on him without blinking.

"What?"

Such attention made Lin Baici uncomfortable.

"Your skin has improved!"

Gu Qingqiu cut to the chase, "And your wounds have healed!"

"Eh? Really? Wow!"

Xia Hongyao exclaimed in surprise.

"..."

Lin Baici sighed inwardly, having a teammate with such keen observation was a bit of a nuisance since nothing could be kept secret.

"I’m saying this not to pry into your secrets but to let you know that I’m trustworthy. You can consider me a comrade who’ll go through life and death with you!"

Gu Qingqiu caressed the blade of his knife and smiled.

"My life before was too boring. It was you and Red Medicine who brought back the joy of living and showed me the beauty of the world!"

Gu Qingqiu looked earnestly at Lin Baici, "Captain Lin, Vice-Captain Xia, I hope to continue this journey with you!"

Finding a comrade worthy of entrusting one’s life to, and who also has the strength to match, is truly hard. Just look at Quan Sangin’s team as the perfect counter-example.

Gu Qingqiu felt incredibly lucky to have met Lin Baici so early in the game!

When Xia Hongyao heard the words ’Vice-Captain’, she felt a slight disappointment, but it was okay! Little Linzi was formidable!

"The captain of this team is Red Medicine!"

Lin Baici explained.

Xia Hongyao’s face lit up with joy upon hearing this, and she patted Lin Baici’s shoulder firmly.

You’re truly a good buddy of mine!

I’ll take care of your child. However many sets of twins you want, I’ll give birth to them. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll keep trying until you’re satisfied.

Actually, Xia Hongyao just wanted the prestige of being called the captain; in reality, during missions, she had always been a qualified fighter, obeying Lin Baici’s commands without question.

"Captain Xia, God Lin, will you accept me then?"

Gu Qingqiu stretched out his right hand.

Xia Hongyao was about to reach out her hand, but she hesitated halfway and looked towards Lin Baici, holding back her words.

"Of course!"

Lin Baici shook Gu Qingqiu’s hand, "Congratulations on joining the team!"

"Oh yeah!"

Xia Hongyao was delighted, grabbing both of their hands.

Hua Yue Yu and Kim Myungjin also woke up, exchanged glances, and placed their hands on top as well.

Yi Jisheng was a bit confused!

What should I do?

"From now on, together?"

Lin Baici invited.

Yi Jisheng, being a Taboo thing tainted by the God, had both research value and the perfect attribute of immortality, making him an ideal cannon fodder.

Of course, Lin Baici didn’t regard Yi Jisheng as cannon fodder, but occasionally, when scouting was needed, having Yi Jisheng step up could reduce a lot of casualties.

"Is that okay?"

Yi Jisheng looked overwhelmed and, carefully placing his hand on top of everyone else’s, asked, "How much is the salary? I hope I can earn enough each month to buy two, one doll!"

Yi Jisheng wasn’t greedy; just being able to save up for one doll a month was sufficient for him.

"You can discuss that with Xia Hongmian!"

Lin Baici laughed heartily.

"I’ll negotiate for you!"

Xia Hongyao slapped her chest, taking on the responsibility.

The team atmosphere was incredibly harmonious.

"Bai Ci, thank you for your Taboo thing!"

Gu Qingqiu admired Lin Baici’s generosity, "I’m someone who never takes advantage of others. If offering money won’t help since you don’t need it, you can ask for anything else!"

"As long as it’s within my power, I won’t refuse!"

"You say that as if you’re an outsider!"

Lin Baici smiled.

Gu Qingqiu wanted to say more, but his expression suddenly changed, and he looked out the window.

The train began to slow down,

they were about to arrive!
