Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#462 - Chapter 461: The Location of the Soul Devouring Orb

Fu Yuesheng's mouth, smeared with sesame sauce, curved slightly upward. He lowered his head and picked up another slice of meat for his bowl, while saying in a barely audible voice, "Thanks."

Li Chenqiu's ears twitched slightly, and he looked at the other person in confusion, "What did you say just now?"

Fu Yuesheng said without raising his head, "You're hallucinating. I didn't say anything."

"Hallucinating?" Li Chenqiu poked at his ear, a look of confusion on his face.

Half an hour later.

"I'm full. I can't eat anymore."

Fu Yuesheng pushed his bowl and chopsticks out the door, leaned against the wooden door, patted his full stomach, and his face was full of smiles.

"I'm very satisfied with this meal. Next time I want to eat barbecue, just ordinary meat will do, okay?" Fu Yuesheng looked at Li Chenqiu expectantly.

"Do you want cumin?"

"It's best if every piece of meat is covered with cumin. Hundreds of years ago, I really liked this seasoning, although I've forgotten what it tastes like now." Fu Yuesheng pursed his lips, a look of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.

Li Chenqiu cast an admiring glance, "I didn't realize you had good taste. By the way, have you determined the approximate location of the Soul-Devouring Pearl yet?"

"Wait a moment."

Fu Yuesheng leaned on the door frame and slowly stood up, walking to the table with his big belly. He picked up the map that Li Chenqiu had given him a few days ago, then returned to the door and sat down, handing the map out.

Li Chenqiu took the map, waved his hand and put the pots and pans on the ground into the empty ring. Then he completely unfolded the map and laid it flat in front of the door.

Looking down, he saw a large red circle drawn in the middle, slightly to the lower right of the map. The four cities of 131, 132, 133, and 134 were all within the red circle.

"I don't know the exact location, I can only sense a general area. When you get closer, I'll circle it again for you, narrowing it down until you find it eventually," Fu Yuesheng explained.

Li Chenqiu said with some surprise, "I didn't expect the Soul-Devouring Pearl to be so close to me."

"Just a reminder, there are four cities in the area I've circled, so there's a high probability that the Soul-Devouring Pearl has fallen into the hands of others. We may have to fight then," Fu Yuesheng reminded.

"Understood." Li Chenqiu rolled up the map and handed it back to Fu Yuesheng, "I'll go back and prepare, we'll set off tonight."

Fu Yuesheng instructed, "Okay, don't forget to buy me barbecue when you come next time."

"I know." Li Chenqiu stood up, looked down at Fu Yuesheng and said, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

"That... you can come inside to eat next time. This wooden house only restricts me from entering and exiting, not you. You don't have to sit at the door."

Li Chenqiu waved his hand and refused, "No, I like eating in the freezing cold. I feel like the food tastes better in this situation."

"Uh... okay, whatever you like."

"If there's nothing else, then I'll..."

Bang!

Before Li Chenqiu could finish speaking, a muffled sound came from his body.

Fu Yuesheng was slightly stunned, his eyes moved to Li Chenqiu's lower abdomen, he raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and asked with a look of disgust, "Did you fart?"

Li Chenqiu grinned, "No, I broke through a restriction."

"Ah?"

Fu Yuesheng's mouth opened slightly, and he asked in confusion, "Didn't you just break through a restriction a few days ago?"

"A few days ago, I broke through the eighth restriction. Now I'm breaking through the ninth restriction. The two don't conflict," Li Chenqiu clenched his fists and rotated his wrists, making a crisp "噼里啪啦" sound.

A big "井" character squeezed between Fu Yuesheng's eyebrows. He could understand what the other person was saying, but why did it sound so foreign when put together?

"I can understand ordinary Resurrectors breaking through restrictions quickly, but how can you break through so quickly with such a strong ability to bypass restrictions?" Fu Yuesheng asked in confusion.

Li Chenqiu scratched his face, "What does the speed of breaking through restrictions have to do with my strong ability to bypass restrictions?"

"The stronger the ability to bypass restrictions, the more life energy is required to break through restrictions. Someone like you, who can be compared to a tenth restriction with only seven restrictions, would need to eat dozens of life forms of the same restriction to break through, am I right?"

"Yes." Li Chenqiu nodded.

Fu Yuesheng questioned, "So that's impossible. Even if your body can digest these dozens of life forms of the same restriction in just a few days, how could you possibly eat them all?!"

Li Chenqiu rubbed his stomach, "Uh... maybe I have a bigger appetite!"

"You... you have a really good appetite." Fu Yuesheng finally squeezed out a compliment.

"Indeed, I do. I'm leaving!"

"Okay, goodbye."

Watching Li Chenqiu's departing figure, Fu Yuesheng murmured, "What a freak. It would be great if I could pull this guy into my camp."

...

After leaving Winter Night, the sun was shining brightly. Li Chenqiu called Xiang Nanzhi and went to the Star Tower to accept missions together.

Since he was going to the area circled by Fu Yuesheng to find the Soul-Devouring Pearl, it would be good to take on a mission along the way, both to provide cover and to earn some merit points linked to the Division Commander.

"Isn't that Li Chenqiu?"

"Are you crazy? You still dare to point at him. Aren't you afraid that plague god will punish you with star points?!"

"What is this guy doing at the Star Tower?"

"Go ask him."

"Do I look like an idiot or do you look like an idiot?"

The students who saw Li Chenqiu avoided him in terror, as if they had seen a plague god.

"Can't you wear a mask when you come out? I feel uncomfortable being with you!" Xiang Nanzhi complained.

Li Chenqiu turned his head, "What's uncomfortable? People make way wherever we go, it's not crowded at all, isn't that good?"

"Good my ass. Walking with you is like being paraded through the streets in ancient times. Wherever we go, people's eyes follow. Is that good?" Xiang Nanzhi scolded in a low voice.

Li Chenqiu replied seriously, "I think it's okay. At least these students didn't jump out and point their fingers at me and scold me."

Xiang Nanzhi: －_－b

Under the gaze of the students, Li Chenqiu and Xiang Nanzhi came to the task-accepting desk.

"Y-You... hello, is there anything I can help you with?" The middle-aged man sitting in the chair stood up subconsciously.

"I want to accept a mission."

"What star level mission do you need to accept?"

"Can I pick and choose myself?"

"Of course, please wait a moment."

Soon, the middle-aged man handed a tablet computer to Li Chenqiu.

"There are category options at the top of the screen. You can choose the star level of the mission yourself. Below are the general descriptions of each mission. Click on it to view the specific content and reward of the mission. Just tell me when you've made your choice, and I'll register it for you."

Li Chenqiu raised his head and asked, "I heard that there are some restrictions on students accepting missions?"

The middle-aged man smiled politely, "You are not the same as ordinary students. There are no restrictions."

"Uncle, do you know him?" Xiang Nanzhi pointed at Li Chenqiu with a curious expression.

The middle-aged man looked at the students gathered in a semi-circle and thought to himself, "With this commotion, it's hard for me not to know him!"
