Chapter 792: Chapter 393: God’s Pollution, Endless Reincarnation_1

The barbecue stand was doing well, perhaps because of its affordable prices. There was a family of three, several couples, and a group of college students. They were all lively, talking and laughing, and discussing the joys of life.

"Madam, cheer up. Worrying won’t solve anything!"

Lin Baici picked up his glass and took a sip.

"Bottoms up!"

The landlady said as she filled her own glass to the brim and was about to pour more for Lin Baici.

"..."

Lin Baici looked at the nearly half-full glass of liquor, hesitated for a moment, but still drank it all.

The landlady filled Lin Baici’s glass with soju again.

"I don’t need to be consoled, just keep me company while I drink!"

The landlady downed another shot.

"Then why don’t you find someone else?"

Lin Baici looked around and said, "They say that without a drunken woman, a man has no chance. If you get drunk, I can’t guarantee I won’t do something to you!"

The landlady did not expect Lin Baici to be so blunt. Her expression froze for a moment, then she chuckled, shot another look at him, and countered, "What do you want to do?"

"The things men and women do!"

Lin Baici hoped to scare Han Suying into stopping this behavior of drowning her sorrows in alcohol.

"I’ll give you that chance!"

Han Suying drank another glass. "If you can drink me under the table, you can do whatever you want to me tonight!"

"..."

Lin Baici was scared stiff.

Are Goryeo women all this fierce?

He glanced at Han Suying, noticing her slacks paired with high heels, and that she was wearing black stockings. She had a white blouse on which, after a full day’s work and sweat, clung to her body, making the contours of her undergarment even more noticeable.

Among the women Lin Baici knew, the landlady’s beauty was at the bottom of the list, scoring a seven out of ten. However, her voluptuous figure and mature charm deserved an extra two points.

Lin Baici couldn’t help but think of the landlady of the Dragon and Beauty Bar, Nangong Shu, who was also a mature woman with high attractiveness and a ripe figure like a juicy peach, but she was exuding a sense of luxury. With every frown and smile, she radiated a pressure that made men feel inferior.

Han Suying in front of him felt more down-to-earth, like an aunt from next door, the kind you might encounter on your way to school. As for Nangong Shu, she would likely be found on golf courses or in equestrian clubs, or occasionally glimpsed passing by in a luxury car.

"Are Nine States men all this cowardly?"

Han Suying curled her lip and drank another shot.

"Damn it!"

Lin Baici tilted his head back and downed the soju.

You belittling me is one thing, but insulting a Jiuzhou Man, I cannot tolerate!

If others knew about this, they’d think I couldn’t handle a Goryeo woman!

If good advice won’t work, then we’ll just drink!

Who cares? I’ve got a sea of wine and a forest of meat!

"Three in a row!"

Han Suying shouted at the barbecue owner, "Hey boss, bring over three more glasses!"

"Okay!"

The boss, who was cooking, responded and soon a girl in her early teens, still wearing a school uniform, came running over with three glasses.

The girl, apparently seeing such a handsome foreigner for the first time, couldn’t help but take a few extra glances at Lin Baici.

Lin Baici smiled slightly.

The girl’s face turned red and she hurriedly lowered her head and ran off.

"When I was her age, I also started helping out in the shop!"

The landlady reminisced about her young days. Nonetheless, her hands didn’t stop pouring three glasses for Lin Baici before looking at him.

Whoosh!

Lin Baici took a deep breath and then drank all three glasses of soju.

"Another round!"

The landlady clearly wanted to drink until she was fully soaked, giving Lin Baici a chance.

Lin Baici’s head was spinning.

If this was in Haijing, he certainly wouldn’t care, but here it was in Busan Divine Ruins!

Don’t you know you’re a monster?

[You talk as if you haven’t ’eaten’ monsters before!]

[It’s only been a few days, yet you’ve forgotten the taste of that female white-collar worker?]

Lin Baici’s face darkened.

Can we not bring up such a dark history?

[The entire city of Gwangju is under the pollution radiation of the Busan Divine Being, turning into a zone of mystery. These people were once alive and kicking. Due to the divine pollution, they began another kind of life!]

[When the game in Gwangju ends, their lives will be reset!]

Lin Baici, through the prompts from the Eater God, sharply caught a few key words.

"So there’s really a God in Busan?"

[Even though Gods are a rich source of nourishment, you are too weak to consume it. So after getting the three videotapes, get out as fast as you can!]

Lin Baici nodded, content with the prospect of earning some Taboo things. "What’s the deal with these people? Have they turned into something like NPCs? Will they also be reborn after they die?"

[Yes!]

[They are real people but also NPCs. When the game is over, even if they have died, have had children, achieved great success, or turned out to be a failure in life, it’s all meaningless because everything will reset to the moment the train first pulled into the station!]

Eater God explained.

"You mean, no matter whether the landlady is successful in operating the New World or not, as soon as the next train comes, she starts repeating everything she’s encountered today?"

Lin Baici furrowed his brows.

[Yes!]

[The difference is only whether an external God Hunter has interacted with her or not!]

Seeing Han Suying’s disconsolate and conflicted expression, Lin Baici suddenly felt pity for her, having to go through endless cycles of such failure and frustration.

If Busan hadn’t turned into Divine Ruins, with the landlady’s beauty and wealth, she could have led a stable life even without running a restaurant.

"So how do you purify these Divine Ruins? Kill the God?"

Lin Baici was curious.

For a regular Divine Ruins, as long as you contain the God’s bones, the ruins cease to exist. Then, as time passes, the residual pollution gradually fades, and the environmental ecology returns to normal.

[For you, it’s by eating them!]

[After the Divine Ruins are purified, the city will experience various unpredictable changes.]

Lin Baici browsed the Origin Forum and saw no such thread, but thinking about it, it made sense – containing a God is too rare and too secretive, known only to the upper echelons of various countries.

"What are you thinking about?"

Han Suying asked, reaching out to hand Lin Baici a skewer of grilled meat.

The bar owner’s skills were excellent; the alternating red and white beef sizzled with fat, and the golden brown color was tantalizing, with a rich aroma that enticed the nose.

"Thank you!"

Lin Baici took the skewer and bit into it, the flavor lingering in his mouth.

[The bar owner could get pregnant, have a miscarriage, or even die—when the next train to Busan comes, she would revert back to this state.]

[No matter if she had experienced an undying love or a hatred that wished for the annihilation of a clan, she would forget it all!]

Lin Baici picked up his glass.

"To you!"

"Toasting to what?"

The bar owner tucked a strand of hair behind her ear with her delicate, fair fingers.

In the night breeze, under the bright moon, there was an unlimited charm of a young married woman, her moist eyes as if they could drown any man’s soul.

"Uh..."

Lin Baici was at a loss for words.

"Men are all bad seeds!" The bar owner pouted, raising her slender neck to down the soju: "But it won’t be easy to get me drunk!"

"I have to try it anyway!"

Lin Baici smiled gently.

Gazing at Lin Baici’s smile, the bar owner’s heart trembled vigorously; for some reason, she felt an overwhelming sensation, a feeling of being cherished.

An indescribable emotion twisted in her chest.

"Pour the drink!"

The bar owner placed her glass heavily on the table, leaving a faint lipstick mark on it.

Lin Baici complied respectfully.

The ecosystem of the Divine Ruins is so magical!

Lin Baici suddenly had a thought: could he spy on the Divine Ruins by studying the bar owner?

What would happen if he took her out?

The fragrance of wine and the beauty of women made the surrounding guests unable to resist sneaking glances their way.

The younger men looking at the bar owner’s white blouse felt something grow stronger within them, like an erupting volcano.

"That woman is shameless, drinking with such a young oppa!"

"After they finish drinking, they’ll probably go to a hotel, right?"

"Nonsense, would you go if it was you?"

"Yes!"

The surrounding diners murmured among themselves.

Quan Sangin and his group of five had also taken a seat at a roadside stall, from where they could see the situation at Lin Baici’s table from afar.

"God Lin is too good at hooking up with women, isn’t he?"

Huang Jinxiang was speechless.

This was the Divine Ruins, where money was useless; it all came down to personal charm.

"You should say ’monster’!"

Li Yintong corrected.

"If a God Hunter sleeps with a monster, what will happen?"

Kim Myungjin furrowed her brows: "Would they be tainted?"

Huang Jinxiang and Li Yintong exchanged glances.

"Don’t know!"

Tai Mei shrugged her shoulders.

"I heard that Dongying has conducted research in that area!"

Kim Jinsoo dropped the bomb.

"I’m more and more convinced that there are gods in this Divine Ruins!"

When Quan Sangin said this, he did so with pride, as if to say, ’Look at our great Goryeo, even our Divine Ruins are more formidable than those of other countries.’

Though it wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

"Let’s just finish this game of Taboo and get out of here!"

Kim Jinsoo no longer wanted to explore,

Too dangerous.

"Yeah!"

Quan Sangin, watching Lin Baici and the bar owner chatting and laughing, felt stifled.

Even if she was a monster, she was Goryeo’s monster. To let Lin Baici take her away felt like a loss.

Plus, he had made a fortune this time, acquiring quite a few Taboo things.

So aggravating!

Feeling annoyed inside, Quan Sangin glanced at Kim Myungjin, thinking these women were too indiscreet; so many decent men in their own country, yet they were throwing themselves at a foreigner.

Okay then!

Truthfully, Quan Sangin also admitted that Lin Baici was exceptional; if he were a woman, he too would choose Lin Baici.

That was what rendered him most powerless.

"Shit, look, someone’s going over there; are they looking for trouble?"

Li Yintong, seeing four men striding angrily over to Lin Baici’s table, called out excitedly. What’s the fun in drinking if there’s no fight? Besides, it won’t be Lin Baici who loses.

Quan Sangin didn’t take it seriously. Han Suying was beautiful, and it was normal for men who had drunk too much to want to hit on her. But when he looked up and saw the man leading the group, he spat out his soju in shock.

Pfft!

Cough, cough!

He hurried to his feet and ran over.

Smack!

Quan Sangin grabbed Quan Sangin’s arm: "Do you know those four men?"

"It’s Lee Seongsoo."

There was no need to ask; they must’ve come seeking revenge for Choi Yongjun and Han Yubin’s deaths.
