Chapter 10: Sequence Advancement (1/2)

On the road, Qin Siyang took out a portion of Millipede Mushrooms from his backpack, which he had brought back from the cafeteria on Friday, treating it as his lunch and eating while walking.

In the cafeteria, mushrooms were considered top-tier delicacies. Because of their meat-like texture and the unique taste of fungi, even a simple stir-fry could make them a standout dish.

But Qin Siyang had no mind to enjoy them—his entire focus was on how to get stronger.

By the time Qin Siyang reached Exit 89757 of the safe zone, it was already afternoon.

Luckily, his body had been enhanced yesterday, and his stamina was astonishing. From leaving home until now, he had been walking for nearly six hours, yet he still didn't feel tired.

However, he knew this state wouldn't last too long, because he could no longer maintain the same speed he had at the beginning.

This made him less optimistic about going even farther to Exit 38324 of the safe zone.

"Going back and forth would mean walking two more hours—that's not a wise move."

Seeing the sign for Exit 89757 made him breathe a sigh of relief,"Finally here."

This time, he didn't go directly to the safe zone exit. After all, his target wasn't the Sequence Ability Users at the exit.

To avoid exposing himself, he chose to take a detour along a small path to check out the trash bins first.

Having searched for trash bins near two safe zone exits already, he had developed a rough sense of where they might be.

Sure enough, after passing through one block, he spotted three trash bins filled with divine remains.

Watching the deep purple tentacles slowly crawling and sticking to the edges of the bins, Qin Siyang nearly started drooling.

He carefully scanned his surroundings—there was no one around, and no sanitation workers either.

Was this an opportunity or a trap?

He kept walking casually while carefully analyzing the situation.

The disorder of the trash bins suggested that no one had deliberately organized them.

Qin Siyang glanced at the dirt on the ground—only a single footprint from striped shoes was repeatedly imprinted around the bins, likely left by one sanitation worker.

As for whether anyone was secretly monitoring the area?

Highly unlikely.

Exit 89757 had far fewer Sequence Ability Users compared to Exit 54320. Relatively speaking, the trash bins here wouldn't be more valued than those in the 54320 area.

If even the massive trash station at Exit 54320 only had two plainclothes officers, then without a doubt, Exit 89757 couldn't possibly have higher-end surveillance.

No one nearby meant no surveillance.

Which also meant that the incident of divine remains disappearing from the trash bins at Exit 114514 last night had only spread to Exit 54320—it hadn't affected a wider area.

Originally, he had planned to check out Exit 38324 as well, because there was definitely a heavenly feast waiting for him there. But now his body was showing signs of fatigue—it didn't seem like he had enough energy left to take the gamble.

Exit 89757's trash bins it is.

He knew his analysis wasn't foolproof.

Fortune favors the bold.

If he wanted to get stronger, he had to take risks. Seeking stability would only make him miss out on great opportunities.

Having lived a second life, Qin Siyang refused to go back to the weak and lowly existence of his previous one.

He had to leave the fringes of the safe zone.

He had to get stronger.

And he had to get stronger fast.

With this thought locked in, Qin Siyang immediately decided to take advantage of the lack of people around and rushed to the trash bins to feast.

This time, the divine remains in the trash bins were three to four times the amount he had eaten yesterday.

He had to speed up and finish eating as quickly as possible. If he ate as slowly as he did yesterday—taking small bites and drinking water to help—he had no idea how long it would take to clear out all three bins, and he might even get exposed.

But if he ate too fast, he wouldn't be able to carefully avoid getting his clothes dirty—there was a good chance bloodstains would splash onto him, bringing enormous trouble.

So before eating, he cautiously took off all his outerwear and hung them on a nearby streetlight. The metal casing of the streetlight had a few hooks forged into it. Qin Siyang had no idea what they were originally meant for, but right now, they were perfect for hanging his clothes.

Then, he went shirtless and walked up to the trash bins.

Being at the exit of the safe zone, this place was much colder than other areas. The occasional gusts of icy wind made Qin Siyang break out in goosebumps.

Safety first—to make sure his clothes didn't get stained with blood, he had to endure the cold while eating.

Looking at the dazzling spread of divine remains, Qin Siyang shivered, filled with excitement.

He swallowed hard. "Time to dig in!"
