His conversation with Xiao Hei was not hidden from these four individuals.
And among these four, apart from Song Jie who always wore a smile, none were particularly talkative.
Witnessing the exchange between Jiang Ye and Xiao Hei, they not only didn't dare to interrupt but were clearly in a state of stunned confusion.
However, Jiang Ye noticed that when Xiao Hei ntioned "Exile City," Song Jie and Qi Anlin's breathing noticeably hitched.
Clearly, they knew of this place.
Yet, there was no ntion of it in the information Song Jie had previously revealed.
Jiang Ye thought for a mont, then, under the sowhat nervous gazes of the four, turned his eyes back to Xiao Hei, raising an eyebrow as he asked:
"These four people..."
Xiao Hei also glanced at them, his tone casual. "Master, don't worry."
"Lives in the Land of Exile are simply worthless."
These words clearly implied silencing them for good.
And hearing this, Song Jie and the others, aside from their existing nervousness, showed no surprise or panic.
It seed they also agreed with Xiao Hei's statent—
Their lives really were worthless.
So worthless that even they themselves had given up on begging for rcy.
Jiang Ye pondered for a mont, then changed his question. "Can they go to Exile City?"
Upon hearing this, surprise and shock finally flashed in the eyes of Song Jie and the others. They looked at Jiang Ye as if seeing a ghost.
Xiao Hei's tone remained indifferent. "Of course they can."
Jiang Ye thought it over, then stored the survival stones obtained from selling those two drops of blood into his prison watch.
Thus, his execution ti skyrocketed by 1 day.
He then said to Xiao Hei, "I am indeed interested in visiting Exile City, but since I have ti now anyway, I'll spend a day playing around in this school first."
"Conveniently, I have one day's worth of ti on hand."
"So, shall I co find you again at this ti tomorrow to go to Exile City?"
Xiao Hei was naturally very obedient to his master, nodding without hesitation.
In fact, with a turn of his hand, he took out another 5 grade-level survival stones. Handing them to Jiang Ye, he didn't forget to advise:
"The countdown ti in the watch isn't just the player's life;
it's also the universally recognized currency within the context of this Doomsday Prison."
"Here is five years' worth of ti. Master, spend it as you please."
"However..."
He thought for a mont, then specifically warned:
"Master, it's best not to use Exile Fruits, and be careful not to get tainted with exile aura when using any items."
"Once tainted, it will be very troubleso when going to other 'cities' later."
"Hmm, also, don't touch the food in the cafeteria."
This was a question Jiang Ye had been aning to ask. "I indeed don't plan to eat it."
"But right now, I'm feeling a very distinct sense of hunger."
"And as I left the cafeteria, this hunger has grown increasingly intense. I even have a very clear feeling—I want to eat at."
Yes, not just wanting to eat sothing.
But wanting to eat at.
Just like the mory of the Auntie stolen during the bus incident.
It felt like living in the sixties, having barely eaten at a few tis since childhood, driven almost mad with craving...
Regarding this issue, Xiao Hei continued only after placing the 5 grade-level survival stones into Jiang Ye's hand:
"This kind of hunger is indeed tornting."
"But in the Land of Exile, there really aren't many good things to eat that don't have side effects..."
"So this hunger mostly has to be endured."
"Another way to barely suppress the hunger is to farm 'Retribution,' farm 'rit,' farm 'Virtue.'"
"Master, when you go to Exile City, the hunger should ease sowhat."
"Aside from that, you can use these five grade-level survival stones separately."
"Your ti base is small, so each ti you gain a large amount of ti, you'll feel a peculiar sense of satisfaction."
"This satisfaction can dilute so of the hunger."
Since he said so, Jiang Ye tried using one grade-level survival stone.
A year's worth of ti instantly poured into the prison watch on his wrist.
His execution ti jumped from just over 1 day to 1 year and 1 day in an instant!
Just as Xiao Hei said, a powerful wave of satisfaction instantly swept through his entire body.
Jiang Ye felt...
Not only was his hunger diluted, but his whole person felt refreshed and invigorated.
He even began to suspect if he had undergone so marrow-cleansing body transformation? Why did he feel so much lighter?
While experiencing this satisfaction, Jiang Ye's gaze towards the watch on his wrist grew sowhat complicated.
This watch that couldn't be removed...
Seed to control many things.
Hunger, satisfaction...
And this current feeling of lightness.
Jiang Ye's eyes swept around.
Since entering the school, he hadn't seen those chanical eyeballs called Enforcers again.
But...
Looking at the watch in his hand, he asked Xiao Hei:
"This kind of watch that all players must wear, it should also be a special type of 'Enforcer,' right?"
Xiao Hei hesitated, then nodded. "The watch indeed possesses functions far exceeding those of Enforcers."
aning, it might be so kind of existence that even surpasses the Enforcers!
Jiang Ye asked further, "Can players remove this watch after receiving 'Pardon'?"
Xiao Hei shook his head. "Pardon alone isn't enough to remove it. Only by going to the inner city of a normal city and obtaining so specific authority or status is it possible to escape the watch's control."
Jiang Ye nodded thoughtfully, then chatted with Xiao Hei for a while longer, asking many questions.
They talked until almost 1 PM.
Then, this office nad "Jiazi," dedicated to blood selling, was knocked on again.
Clearly, more people had co to sell blood.
Xiao Hei pondered briefly, then transford back into his original old man appearance.
Then, he rolled up his left sleeve. The withered flesh on his arm was instantly covered with a layer of black scales.
He casually plucked one off and handed it to Jiang Ye. "Stick this on your forehead. It has the effects of concealing aura, invisibility, and a protective shield."
"If you encounter anyone with no eyes, you can also show this black scale."
Jiang Ye nodded. While sticking the black scale to his forehead, he unceremoniously used [Grudge mory] again.
Perhaps because Xiao Hei didn't guard against him, or maybe sticking it to the forehead made mory theft more effective?
The mory stolen this ti was noticeably longer than before!
Jiang Ye stood there in a daze.
Song Jie and the others thought for a mont, then stood guard beside him.
anwhile, Xiao Hei said "Co in" to the person knocking outside.
This ti, four people entered, leading two others, making six in total.
The leader had a similar temperant to Qi Anlin, looking very fierce and difficult to get along with.
The key point was that his Glyph Pattern was directly displayed on his face—a large circle around his eye sockets, making his entire face appear even more ferocious and nacing.
He looked like a certain "boss" from the underworld in a specific historical context.
This "boss" obviously knew Song Jie and the others.
His gaze swept over Song Jie and Qi Anlin, finally landing on Jiang Ye as well.
Jiang Ye had his hand pressed against his forehead, appearing lost in thought, his external condition unclear.
But this fierce "boss" clearly recognized that Jiang Ye was brought here to sell blood.
So he didn't care and wouldn't ask. Withdrawing his gaze, he directly led the people behind him forward, stating their intention to sell blood.
Xiao Hei's attitude was the sa as before—not polite, impatient, casually tossing out two blood-testing tools.
The two "newcors" dragged here to sell blood did not receive the treatnt Jiang Ye got from Song Jie.
With one glance from the fierce "boss," he said coldly, "Used a blood glucose ter before? Prick your finger, test the blood quality, and you'll get a quote."
And Jiang Ye, imrsed in Xiao Hei's grudge mory, had his perception of the outside world weakened, so he didn't notice—
Among these two newcors, the one who looked particularly young...
Was none other than He Yuliang, who, like Zhou Qiming, ca from the black ice domain!
When they first t in the apartnt, He Yuliang looked like a middle schooler. His uniquely youthful appearance left a deep impression on Jiang Ye.
And now, entering this school, he still looked quite young.
Song Jie couldn't help but stare at him, suddenly saying with a smile, "This newcor looks pretty good."
The fierce "boss" also looked at He Yuliang with a complicated gaze.
But he took the opportunity to glance at Jiang Ye again, asking Song Jie, "The newcor you brought this ti..."
The words weren't explicit, but his eyes conveyed so information.
Song Jie didn't answer either, giving a reply with just a look.
Clearly, among this batch of newcors, so unusual individuals seed to have appeared.
Not just Jiang Ye.
He Yuliang's initial ti wasn't much either.
And his cri was also Intentional Homicide.
Of course, he also possessed innate talent...
He Yuliang felt fear towards these perverted veteran players in his heart.
He had also noticed Jiang Ye but didn't recognize him.
When Jiang Ye entered the school, his appearance had changed to that of a youth.
He looked sowhat similar to Zhou Qiming, but Jiang Ye had his hand pressed against his forehead, holding the black scale, covering his face, so He Yuliang couldn't recognize him.
He didn't dare to be picky about the needle either. After pricking his finger and testing his blood quality, Xiao Hei stated matter-of-factly:
"Blood quality is good. 100cc can be exchanged for 600 minutes."
The other unfamiliar youth seed to have consud an Exile Fruit. The test result was: "100cc can be exchanged for 120 minutes."
"You two, how much blood are you planning to sell?"
The youth who had consud the Exile Fruit seed dissatisfied with this result, muttering under his breath, "The difference... why is it so big?"
Xiao Hei lifted his gaze with a look.
The youth's face instantly paled. Of course, he didn't dare to question a senior that even Student Council mbers wouldn't dare to provoke.
So, the youth quickly turned to He Yuliang, negotiating with him:
"We're sowhat fated, right? How about we pool our blood to sell together?"
"This blood-selling part, clearly your blood is more valuable, so let's just sell yours."
"When we use the sewing machines later, we'll also need blood. We'll use mine then."
"I won't take advantage of you. You give 200cc of your blood to sell, and later at the sewing machines, I'll return 2100cc to you."
The fierce "boss" glanced at the two of them, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes, but he didn't interrupt.
Xiao Hei also sat there calmly, appearing like a simple service staff, seemingly indifferent to whether the blood-selling deal went through.
He Yuliang, however, directly frowned.
He hadn't consud an Exile Fruit, nor had he eaten human flesh.
The price of his valuable blood was that his strength was likely the weakest among those present.
If a conflict really broke out, he couldn't beat anyone.
But honestly, he didn't want to trade according to this stranger's proposal.
Although guided by veteran players, they knew the afternoon sewing class would require blood.
But exactly how it would be used was still uncertain...
He Yuliang remained silent for a mont, then said:
"I can sell an extra 200cc of blood, but the ti gained must co to first."
"When we use the sewing machines, if I'm truly short of blood, I'm willing to buy your blood at a price of 200 minutes per 100cc."
Saying this, he felt even more that the blood used for the sewing machines might be different from simply selling blood.
Otherwise, if all players' blood had different prices, wouldn't everyone just use cheap blood for the sewing machines?
And wouldn't such behavior be blatantly competing with this old man in charge of blood selling?
He Yuliang glanced at the old man, only to see him looking indifferent, completely unconcerned with how they sold their blood.
Instead...
He Yuliang noticed the old man's gaze occasionally sweeping towards the youth who had his hand pressed against his forehead?
Jiang Ye was now slowly coming back to his senses from the grudge mory.
This ti, the period of disorientation was quite long.
And the mory scenes he saw were even more extensive!
In this mory, Xiao Hei seed to have been a black snake from the very beginning!
Because the perspective in the mory was very low, looking like the viewpoint of a snake-like creature crawling on the ground.
It was crawling through a stretch of yellow sand when it was attacked and captured.
The tool used to capture it was likely a specially made hunting tool.
A kind of fine thread that the snake's eyes seemingly couldn't see, densely wrapping around its entire body.
The more the snake body struggled, the more the threads cut painfully into its flesh.
And this pain would intensify madly with any bodily movent.
So the black snake didn't dare move anymore, feeling that even breathing was painful.
The human who captured it casually lifted it by its tail.
Just being swung by the tail a few tis like that, the little black snake was in unbearable agony, directly sticking out its tongue and fainting.
When it woke again, it was from the pain.
All the scales on its body had been plucked!
The exposed flesh made the original little black snake look like a little red snake.
This bare state ant any touch, including the air, could cause the little black snake unbearable pain.
And the pain from those densely packed threads invading its physical body during capture also remained.
Intense pain bred intense hatred.
The little black snake's hatred at this ti was almost born alongside the pain.
Afterwards, its sensitive flesh-and-blood body was soaked in a sealed container resembling a wine jar.
Then, along with the sealed wine jar, it was buried underground.
In extre pain, it felt as if sealed away.
It could barely perceive the passage of ti, yet in the darkness, it forged eyes capable of night vision.
And, like a frog in gradually heated water, it actually adapted to the pain of being skinned and used for brewing wine.
Until who knows how long later, when it saw daylight again, it heard an exclamation:
"Huh? This snake actually isn't dead!"
Then, surprise turned to delight.
"And this dicinal wine..."
Then, delight turned to terror.
The little black snake crawled out of the opened wine jar and imdiately went on a rampage!
In the mory's perspective, only the snake body suddenly enlarging was seen.
The scales that had been completely plucked before had regrown, seemingly even stronger!
Each scale glead with a sharp, cold light, as keen as a blade's edge.
Combined with that massive serpent body, a simple coil could easily harvest many lives!
