A Fragrance Made From the Flesh of a Tentacle

A Fragrance Made From the Flesh of a Tentacle Will Definitely Make People Addicted

As the pouch was opened, these surrounding cats appeared even crazier, all meowing with a sharp and ear-piercing sound. Their claws jumped out suddenly from the soft padding, scratching at the thing below their claws, even the limestone tiles had white marks from being scratched, and Chi Yu seemed like he saw some fragrant air that had solidified.

He covered over his nose while using one hand to hold the pouch, then some thing in the brain gradually scattered a bit, bringing back a moment of clarity.

The number marking his sanity was also strangely jumping, but this seemed just like a struggling fish that was thrown on the chopping board- a hard-to-resist thirst intensely knocked on Chi Yu's soul, calling him to let go, to go smell this splendid scent, even if Chi Yu already saw that the thing housed inside definitely could not be called splendid——

An object that was like the limb of an octopus, pitch black, sleek, continuously seeped with some viscous liquid from the cut area. There with no sucker, nor division of skin from muscle, like it was an entire tentacle, half a palm's size, and all around it, there were some dried autumn orchids and cloves stuffed there that only made things more conspicuous.

But Chi Yu's gaze finally uncontrollably went into a slight trance.

The brain seemed like it was restricted by some thing. The heavy and sluggish feeling was not unfamiliar, Chi Yu was startled inside, and struggled, not willing to sink into it, but in reality, the hand covering over his nose already subconsciously let go, and the oral cavity uncontrollably flowed out with some saliva.

Flowing down from the corner of the mouth, like an addict, he pressed the pouch in his hands to his face, and inhaled the scent inside with slight rapture, while the cats beside his feet surrounding him still called out without a stop. Finally, one cat could not help it, pounced up from the ground, and jumped towards Chi Yu's face.

Chi Yu's body slightly turned to one side and avoided this attack. That expression of extreme thirst on his face finally disappeared again, and turned seemingly a bit more normal.

But afterwards, Chi Yu turned around, and walked towards where Gu Wen Qiao left in.

His gaze swept all around without aim. White walls and green tiles, winding red corridors, within such a big residence, Chi Yu did not meet a single person on the entire way. Only he was walking around. Those three maids did not follow him out the door at all, nor did Gu Wen Qiao order them to follow Chi Yu either.

Underneath the sunlight, everything seemed very quiet and beautiful, especially the meandering pool water beneath the corridor, deep and serene and tranquil. Even though this big of a pool did not even have a single lotus, it still grew with dense and crowded duckweed, pretty much overspreading with a slumber. The small, white flowers in shapes of flower-buds with big leaves seemed like a miniature of lotus flowers...

Looking at it like this, it was all exceedingly pretty.

And below the water, there were also creatures swimming around, but because it was too dark, one could not see it clearly, but that thick and big fish-like being would scatter some duckweed from time to time, making Chi Yu see there was something swimming beneath the surface.

It was at this time.

Chi Yu seemed to be in a daze, or distracted, or perhaps something else.

He let go of his hand, and that pouch that made him reveal a deranged attitude was dropped down.

In an instant, the originally calm pool suddenly rose with giant splashes. A strip of something that exceeded Chi Yu's expectations, or perhaps, something that could not use a strip to describe, flew out from the water. At this moment, Chi Yu finally, after entering this place, smelled a hard-to-describe stench for the first time- foul, disgusting, making people think to slippery, rotting fish corpses, and this pool water that made people want to avoid it pretty much poured from the top of the head to Chi Yu's face.

Chi Yu's face was not that good.

However, he still couldn't help but widen his eyes to look at everything in front of him.

This thing in front had a head like a shark's, but its mouth was very long, very sharp, and when it opened its mouth to bite the pouch, Chi Yu saw four rows of sharp and yellowed teeth. Below its head was a fish's body, except, further down, it turned into many pitch black limbs, very much like the thing held in the pouch.

This was too disgusting.

Chi Yu could not help but think, could it be that it even eats its own body?

Chi Yu once again checked his own window. At this time, he did not feel that the thing in front was that scary, naturally, he was certainly startled, but at the same time, that itchiness at the bottom of the heart was hard to bear, while a kind of pressing feeling urged his dissatisfaction, making him feel even more terrible. All the symptoms were no different from an addict, and what was scarier was, Chi Yu felt his own heart jumping.

It was not that thumping one had for a secret crush, nor the beating after intense exercise where breathing would be irregular. That heart was using its might to hit the thoracic wall, beating hysterically with a strong frequency, and Chi Yu even lost his fear in this kind of situation.

He looked at that hideous thing, and actually even wanted to snatch the pouch back.

Chi Yu used strength to suppress the irregular pulsations in his heart, exhaling bit by bit, then inhaling... the monster in front of him did not have any interest in him at this moment, but started chewing the thing in the pouch. Chi Yu slowly retreated to leave, while his eyes looked to the big or small wounds on the monster's body.

At many, many places between the limbs, there were quite many cuts, however, on the places of some of the cuts were also protruding balls of flesh, and on other places, one could see some very small tentacles growing, like a kind of malformed product.

Chi Yu brought out his own window, and started checking.

「Sanity:31/35」

Sully a soon-to-be-wed person's innocence and have passersby all know. 」

This was a survival game, after all. Chi Yu attempted using light footwork, and he already exited out of the corridor. When he saw the outer wall, he tried thinking how he would get up and flip out, since there was nobody in the residence, he did not want to stay in this strange place any longer- he did not have any heart to get in contact with those maids in the room ever again.

The sole regret was that today was already a new day, he must complete his quest... to exhibit an animalistic desire towards a game's NPCs... as for how the quest was completed for the past few days, Chi Yu did not have that much memory. His facial colour was not that right, emerging with a bit of dark red and dripping with sweat too. This kind of addiction debuff was still within a controllable range for Chi Yu for the time being, as long as he did not continue smelling that fragrance... Chi Yu tapped his feet, then used strength, and as expected, leapt to the top of the wall. It was the first time he stood here and looked downward, so he first stabilized himself, then looked all around. Very quickly, he found the exit, and what made Chi Yu surprised was, the security in the residence was truthfully too weak.

The skies were going to darken soon. Chi Yu did not even hesitate and ran off. The judgment he had before was completely correct- not long afterwards, Chi Yu went inside a small alleyway, and then, he strutted out from the alley, and started thinking about one matter.

Could the survival game give him such a simple quest? Only needing to throw away one's moral integrity?

That strange dark red colour on Chi Yu's face seemed to turn a bit deeper.

He once played that kind of dating sim on the phone, and raised a character he designed, and could even name them and whatnot... back then, Chi Yu naturally named the character Gu Wen Qiao, the feelings he had when excitedly playing with the small human at that time was the weakened version of his feelings right now.

—— Since he hadn't slept with the secret crush in reality, he would madly sleep with the other person in the game or something...

But is this kind of strange love really okay!

Chi Yu gave himself two slaps inside.

At this time, he was finally completely awake. The addiction debuff, to him, shockingly rapidly turned weaker and weaker, and thus, Chi Yu painfully felt something.

This pouch that the NPC Gu Wen Qiao gave was also contents related to the game! It was something he could sell after going out... no, it was something that he could trade points for!!

Chi Yu who originally got 20% taken off from acting right now really wanted to cry.

He could already imagine just how low his points would be after he came out, added with a low level, the points would be much lower, making people feel bad about it.

Chi Yu walked on the streets like roaming around, and suddenly smelled a fragrant scent.

He reflexively went on alert, and looked towards a pushcart.

The small wooden cart was hung with an assortment of perfume sachets. Many young women gathered together to choose, and within the fiddling of the countless pairs of long and slender hands, these sachets seemed to let out an even richer fragrance.

That small peddler was hung full of smiles, "Young ladies, would you like to purchase one? This is something that me and my humble wife made through the night. The perfumes are also top-rate, look at this handiwork..."

Chi Yu could not help but get closer, because he saw a bit of hurry from the other person's gaze to have the things sold and the playing-up and pity from being afraid of making the customers unhappy, Chi Yu was very suspicious.

Because these perfume sachets were really nice-looking, and the peddler also only wanted to sell them for fifteen coins.

While Chi Yu walked over, his brain was not actually empty. He ached for his points, thinking if he were to go out at this time, he couldn't buy even a few hourglasses, while on the other hand, the various shouts and calls on the street and bargaining all entered his ears.

Candied hawthorns were only three coins one stick, a roll of fabric was three silvers...

Thus, Chi Yu could not help but want to converse with the NPC. It was the first time he saw a quest this big, with that many lively NPCs, "What kind of fragrances do you have inside?"

The small peddler immediately answered passionately, with eyes full of hope, hoping that Chi Yu would buy a few.

"King's yellow, borneal flakes, bishop-wort, cloves, as well as others, like wormwood and cassia. Would you something to help waken the mind, or repel bugs or something else? Just say it!"

Before Chi Yu could open his mouth, he heard a lady to the side open her mouth, "Eh, these things are all outdated, you said you have anything, then how about the Gu family's perfume sachets, do you have that? That is the good stuff right there."

Chi Yu did not respond, and only looked at that lady, slightly curving his eyes, using his expression to urge the other person to say even more, and at the same time, he placed the sachet in his hands down, shocking that small peddler into a panic. The small peddler already made the price very low, if he could not sell these out like this, he could only leave this profession.

Thus, he could not help but open his mouth, "The Gu family! The Gu family a few years ago, can't be considered... their family's aromatics are good, yes, and they even say they use a hundred flowers or something for ingredients, but if we're talking about practical, it must be these..."

As he spoke and spoke, the voice he rose gradually lowered down, and that lady humphed, "When their sachets are opened, it is all genuinely various kind of flower petals, I say, you, why don't you know to make perfume sachets with flowers? Every time the Gu family sells their products, it is pretty much all sent off to the palace, and then they sell a portion out, but even this portion makes people unable to move their eyes away."

Chi Yu sighed inside. He didn't think that the Gu family's aromatics were this costly. He asked that lady where the Gu family's perfume store was while feeling his pockets, and wanted to see if there were a few coins he could use and also make this small peddler feel a bit better. But in the end, after going through it all, there was nothing. He already finished asking, but if he just stood there any longer, it would truthfully be awkward, so he delayed the time, and asked what kind would be the best, and his hands once again reached out into the pockets to feel around carefully...

Still empty as can be!

Chi Yu could not help but go red and white in the face. He calmly thanked her, then walked over towards the Gu family perfume store. His actions were so stiff the hands would move together with the feet, and his back figure was also very awkward.

Bearing with a fiery gaze from the back from the perfume peddler, he left without turning his head back.

When Chi Yu went in front of a very luxurious store, and saw the plaque for Gu family's perfumes, he took one deep breath in, and walked inside.

Chi Yu lifted a perfume pouch up, and smelled it from a distance.

It was very fragrant, however, Chi Yu did not have some special feeling from it.

Just like he should be addicted to it, but these perfume pouches in the end were not enough, just like it was down a level.

Chi Yu slightly blankly returned to the Gu residence.

He couldn't figure out, just which part needed him to run for his life?

This setting as a flower-picker, just where did it match with a survival game?

Chi Yu did not know, but the original quest did not develop like this.

Once the flower-picker entered the big residence, he did not need to truly pick flowers, and only needed to find a maid or guard from the Gu family under circumstances of not being found, then just have skin contact- but there was just one point, and that was that these maids and guards needed to be real. If the flower-picker touched a ghost paper human, he would activate various debuffs and even immediately be determined to be in a "discovered" state, and then from there, get chased. At this time, the Gu residence's true big boss, the Gu family's young master, would become the existence players did not want to face the most, and the terrifying monster at the bottom of the pool would have also killed many players already. As for ruining engagements, it would require them to find that maid or guard who had an engagement- the difficulty of this task was so high it made people boil with anger, and as for being wanted, it needed one to successfully run out of the Gu residence under the situation of being discovered before they could activate the request for being wanted.

Obviously, Chi Yu used a way not one person thought of and directly transformed the quest.

He picked the quest's big boss.

When he returned to the Gu residence, the skies were an orange-yellow colour with a bit of dust, with the light all dim. Chi Yu quickly walked towards the room, yet immediately stopped in his steps.

He was already clear-headed, and very much did not want to go back to that room... those three maids, to Chi Yu, were still too...
