As soon as Wang Changle opened the door, the bustling sounds of hawkers on the street reached his ears.

“Gourmet prisoner, high-quality and high-restoring food, buy ten and get one free, packaged and given away!”

"Boss, give me ten portions of gem meat!"

"Dear, if you buy ten servings of white graded ginger tea, you will receive a free serving of gem meat!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, boss, you could have grabbed it, but you still gave me ginger tea with a rating of 1. You are really famous for your kindness?"

"Hey, if you like to buy, buy, buy, but don't buy, you're a poor man!"

….

Wang Changle glanced at the gem meat on the stall. It was a restored product with a purple score. The score was not low, but it was divided into ten parts.

Although the recovery ability of this thing can only be said to be average, there is no additional buff state.

But the meat of this gem can increase the purity of gourmet cells by 3%. From this point of view, this boss is targeting those contractors whose main system is the development of gourmet cells.

After all, the 'Prisoner of Food' is not only a large-scale open derivative world, but also one of the few derivative worlds with a stable area. It is the place that many employees yearn for.

In this world, you can not only obtain a large number of high-quality recovery products, but also various rare ingredients that permanently increase attributes.

If you are lucky enough to obtain a copy of Food Cells, you can even use it as a power system and pass the assessment to become a contractor.

The most important thing is that contractors who use gourmet cells as their main development system will become stronger very quickly in the early stage.

They only need to continue to consume the food corresponding to their "gourmet cells" and improve the purity of their "gourmet cells", so that they can continuously improve their attributes and become stronger.

"Okay, bring me ten servings of ginger tea."

As Wang Changle was walking forward, a familiar female voice came from behind him. He looked sideways and saw that Manli had just bought the gem meat.

It seems that this woman definitely lost a huge amount of attributes in the 'Slaughter City', otherwise she would never make up for the lack of attributes in this way.

It is true that ‘Gourmet Cells’ can quickly acquire a large number of attributes, but while gaining strength, they also have to pay a huge price, and they are also quite dangerous.

Because inside the gourmet cells resides the power from the devil.

Once gourmet cells are turned on, you need to continuously consume a large amount of food every day to maintain your body's own calorie consumption.

You also need to consume high-quality food on a regular basis to maintain the purity of your ‘gourmet cells’, otherwise ‘degeneration’ will occur.

The terrible thing is that the consumption of this kind of food will increase as the purity of the 'gourmet cells' increases, and the quality and quantity of the demand will also increase.

Moreover, once the calories in the body cannot satisfy the consumption of the 'appetite demon' in the body, it will cause 'weakness' at least, causing a significant decrease in one's own attributes.

In severe cases, it will enter a state of 'self-eating', and the 'appetite demon' in the body will eat up the target's health and even the body bit by bit.

When he thought of this, Wang Changle shook his head. This kind of thing is a double-edged sword, and ordinary individual contractors cannot afford to support these 'gourmet cells', but this is not what he needs to care about.

Half an hour later, Wang Changle arrived at the [Skill Upgrade Hall] and entered the skill upgrade warehouse.

[Tip: Please select the active skill you need to upgrade.]

Wang Changle looked at the active skills that appeared on the data panel in front of him. After pondering for a moment, he chose 'Corruption Spore'.

It's not that he doesn't want to improve the 'Blood Thorn Flower', it's just that the damage of this skill now, with the blessing of the 'Power of Life', is already considered extraordinary and is enough.

Moreover, Wang Changle was also afraid that after leveling up to level 10, he himself would not be able to withstand the damage of the Bloodthorn Flower, and then it would be better not to improve its actual functional ability.

[Tip: Your active skill ‘Corruption Spore’ has been upgraded to LV 10. Now each upgrade requires the consumption of paradise coins.

Soul Crystal (medium)*1, yes/no to pay?】

"Yes, upgrade to 10 levels in a row."

Even though Wang Changle had been mentally prepared, he still felt a pang in his heart when he saw the price, but he still chose to continue.

While consuming Paradise Coins and Soul Crystals, he seemed to see a dark land where countless spores with the power of corruption were growing wildly.

[Tip: Your active skill ‘Corruption Spore’ has been upgraded to LV 11]

[Tip: Your active skill ‘Corruption Spore’ has been upgraded to LV 12]

..

[Tip: Your active skill ‘Corruption Spore’ has been upgraded to LV 19]

[Tip: Your active skill ‘Corruption Spore’ has been upgraded to LV 20. When the secondary skill is upgraded to LV 20, you can choose one of the following traits as a reward]

A. Fungi Beast Strengthening: The properties of the fungus beast are strengthened to 50% of the target’s original value.

B Corrupted Creep: After the death of the fungus beast, a large carpet of fungus will be left on the ground. Enemies walking on the fungus carpet will have their movement speed reduced by 20% and have a certain chance of becoming stiff.

C Destructive Eruption: The duration of the spores is reduced by 200%, the effect is enhanced by 50%, and no fungi will be spawned after the target dies.

D Brain-Eating Fungus: Reduces the target's casting speed by 75%.

….

Wang Changle looked at the four trait options and immediately ruled out A and B. Both of these traits were more towards the development direction of full-time summoning.

Only when a large number of fungus beasts form a beast tide can the value of these two abilities be realized. To him, this fungus beast is just an additional existence.

What makes Wang Changle a little confused is C and D. Option D strengthens the control effect, especially for professions that require chanting and casting spells.

Although option C strengthens the skill effect, it weakens the control time and cuts off the existence of fungus beasts, which has advantages and disadvantages.

However, after much hesitation, Wang Changle still chose option C, because this ability can also enhance the ability of 'energy-draining blast', further increasing his single-target output capability.

Suddenly, a dark stream of light entered Wang Changle's body, and he instantly opened the skill panel:

[Corruption Spores, Active Skill, LV 20]

Skill effect: consume 100 magic points, plant 1 spore in the target's body, increase the target's energy (physical energy, magic value, mana, magic power, etc.) consumption by 60% (increased by 30%)

Tip: Duration 5 minutes (reduced from 30 minutes), cooldown 3 minutes.

Energy Drain Explosion: When the duration expires or is dispelled, 75% of the absorbed energy value (increased by 25%) will be dealt spell damage to the target.

Destructive Eruption: The duration of the spores is reduced by 200%, the damage is increased by 50%, and no fungi will be spawned after the target dies. (Calculated)

(The [Heart of Life] and [Origin of Life] bonuses have been calculated.)

….

It can be said that the skill "Corruption Spore" has been transformed from a "control system" spell into a "burst damage" spell from now on.

Although the duration of 5 minutes is short, it is enough to cause enough damage in a battle, and suddenly the familiar feeling of teleportation comes over.
