Chapter 4 Power Upgrade!

Qin Siyang's eyes were ablaze with excitement.

As the old saying goes, you search high and low without success, yet the thing you want lands right in your lap effortlessly!

There were so many discarded god remains here!

Wasn't this a stroke of luck for him?

It was simply a gift from the heavens!

He truly was the chosen one!

Qin Siyang glanced around. No one was approaching.

The god remains were unlike the familiar beef and mutton, and naturally, Qin Siyang felt a bit of revulsion.

However, when he thought that if he could successfully test his "Blood Drink" skill, he could then continuously enhance himself with the god remains, he was filled with anticipation.

Qin Siyang clenched his fists tightly.

He overcame his physical discomfort and made up his mind to give it a try.

In the face of an intense inner desire, all instincts would be subdued.

"No need to do missions or make sacrifices. All I need to do is eat some scraps of the gods. What's there to complain about!"

He recalled that on the "God - slaying Camp" forum, it was said that when humans consume god remains, there would be no reaction.

This was a substance beyond the human biological category, indigestible and unabsorbable. Even those who had awakened sequence abilities were no exception.

If he could actually digest the god remains, he would be incredibly fortunate!

He closed his eyes and swallowed a piece of the god remains in one go.

To his surprise, although the god remains didn't look appealing, they tasted quite good. They were even on par with the cafeteria food!

He couldn't tell whether the god's flesh was genuinely delicious or if the cafeteria cook's skills were just too poor.

"I thought it would taste bad and was wondering how much I could force myself to eat. Since it has an unexpected flavor, I won't hold back!"

Qin Siyang opened his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.

[Sequence "God - eater"]

[Digesting gods makes you stronger]

[Current sequence level: Level 1, Glutton]

[Skill: Blood Drink. Skill description: Eating gods raw enables digestion.]

"Why isn't there any change?!"

Just then, Qin Siyang felt a sound coming from within his body. It seemed to originate from his heart, a "gurgling" sound, like a spring that had just broken through layers of sand and gravel, gushing out the clear water that had been pent - up for ages.Then, this burst from the spring spread throughout his body.

Next, he felt a searing pain all over, as if a surging torrent was wildly rushing through his narrow blood vessels, threatening to burst his muscles. His entire body twitched uncontrollably, and his muscles spasmed violently.

After about a minute, the pain finally subsided completely. He felt his arm muscles twitch a couple more times before returning to normal.

"What's going on?"

Qin Siyang was extremely curious. He wasn't sure whether the changes in his body were for the better or worse.

So he took off his coat and examined his arm.

Although his arm didn't seem much different from before, Qin Siyang, who knew his body like the back of his hand, immediately noticed that the muscles on his arm seemed to have grown slightly stronger! Whether it was an illusion or not, he felt his whole body was more energetic than before. Even the schoolbag on his back, filled with food, seemed lighter.

"This..."

He looked at the information panel again. The content remained the same, showing no differences.

Yet, the changes in his body were a clear indication that he had undergone some indescribable alterations.

Qin Siyang quickly came up with a reasonable explanation.

"The information about this 'God - eater' isn't false. I did get stronger after swallowing the god. It's just that this increase in strength isn't significant enough to be reflected in the information."

When browsing the forum, he had learned that after sequence ability users consumed sequence magic potions, all aspects of their physical abilities would be significantly enhanced, which was exactly what he was experiencing now.

Since it was effective, it meant that Qin Siyang's experiment to verify the way to level up his sequence and strengthen his abilities was a success.

A good start is half the battle!

Qin Siyang grinned greedily and rubbed his hands as he eyed the other god remains in front of him.

He couldn't wait any longer. He picked up another piece and devoured it hungrily.

Then, the feeling of that violent current surging through his body returned.

Moments later, Qin Siyang excitedly inspected his body, and the signs of his increased strength were even more pronounced.

"I'm even stronger now and full of energy!"

The corners of Qin Siyang's mouth curled up slightly. Without hesitation, he continued to feast.

Were these god remains in the trash can? No, they were clearly his first pot of gold!However, he didn't get carried away. When picking up the god remains, he was very careful, trying his best to keep his clothes clean and tidy.

If he got covered in blood, it would surely attract attention when he walked home, and he wouldn't be able to explain it easily.

At the same time, he also kept a vigilant eye on his surroundings, in case someone saw his strange behavior.

"One should keep a low profile when getting stronger. The secret of sequence abilities must be guarded."

His work experience in his previous life had shown him the sinister nature of many people. Even if you have no ill - will towards others, there might still be someone who envies you, can't stand to see you do well, and reports you behind your back.

In this life, with such a unique ability, he had to be extremely cautious and not reveal it to others easily.

Qin Siyang feasted while experiencing the pain of the surging current throughout his body with relish.

And this pain, which was unbearable at first, gradually became milder, and he even became a bit obsessed with it.

"Damn it, I don't have a masochistic tendency, do I?"

Qin Siyang cursed in a low voice in his heart, warning himself not to sink into the joy of pain.

But he noticed a problem. He had eaten a lot, yet he didn't feel the slightest sense of fullness in his stomach.

"It's really strange. I've eaten so much, but I don't feel stuffed. In fact... I'm still a bit hungry?!"

It seemed that as he had guessed before, when devouring the gods, he could only enhance his own strength and couldn't solve the problem of physical hunger.

No wonder the information said "digest" instead of "absorb". They were two completely different things.

The disappearance of the god remains in the trash can might draw others' attention. It was better to avoid trouble.

Quickly converting the god remains here into his own strength was the top priority.

Qin Siyang sped up, continuing to lie beside the trash can and desperately devour the god remains.

Finally, after more than an hour, he swallowed all the more than thirty god remains in front of him.

His overall strength and condition had undergone a qualitative change.

But he didn't have time to savor this new state of his body.

He found a puddle on the ground nearby and washed the blood off his hands and face.

Without any hesitation, he quickly left the place and walked towards home.

The changes in his body were quite obvious. The two - hour journey only took him one hour, and he didn't feel the slightest bit of effort.

Although the time was halved, his mood was doubly tormented. Due to his preoccupation, this journey seemed extremely long, as if a whole day had passed.

When he got home, he felt mentally and physically exhausted, as if he had worked a whole day.

Sitting on the sofa made of cardboard boxes, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

It was night time, and he was starving.

As soon as he closed the door, he immediately opened his schoolbag and picked up a box of six - eyed long - fish rice to fill his stomach.

As soon as he put it in his mouth, Qin Siyang frowned and showed a disgusted expression.

"The cafeteria's performance remains stable. It's really terrible!"

Qin Siyang complained, but still obediently finished the meal and then threw the lunch box into the sink.

On weekdays, he would wash the lunch box after eating.

But tomorrow was the weekend, and he didn't need to take the lunch box to school, so he could be a bit lazy.

Qin Siyang burped, poured himself a cup of hot water to aid digestion.

But when putting down the kettle, he didn't place it steadily, and the kettle fell off the table, about to smash to the ground.

In Qin Siyang's eyes, the process of the kettle falling seemed to turn into slow - motion.

He could clearly capture the whole process of the kettle slowly falling. He could even see clearly the way the splashing water droplets trembled and fell in the air.

He reached out and effortlessly caught the kettle.

"I seem to have become much more agile! My perception ability has also improved!"

He put the kettle back on the table. Before he could exclaim, he saw a deep handprint on the kettle and was shocked again.

"Did I do this?!! My strength has also increased?"

He tried to grip the kettle again and exerted a little force, but the kettle didn't change.

But when he thought in his mind to deform the kettle, the shape of the kettle was changed again.

"And I can control my strength at will?!"

He remembered that it was said on the forum that one could go to the Sequence Ability User Administration Bureau to learn about relevant matters, but one had to prove that they were a sequence ability user to enter the bureau. He didn't plan to reveal the changes in his sequence ability in the short term.

At least, he would wait until he had a general understanding of sequence abilities before making a decision.

So, the "God - slaying Camp" became the only place where he could obtain information.

But to access the "God - slaying Camp", he needed a computer or a mobile phone with an Internet connection.

These were all luxury items for him.

He could only go to an Internet café.

However, even the ten copper coins for half an hour in the Internet café were a huge sum of money.

The area on the edge of the safe zone where Qin Siyang lived was poor and backward. Even adults fought tooth and nail for a job, so there were no jobs arranged for students.

The only way to earn money was to work part - time in the school library, earning ten copper coins a week.

Fortunately, Teacher Zhu in the library, who knew Qin Siyang's situation, took special care of him.

She reserved the only part - time librarian job for him.

When school started next week, he would continue to help organize books in the library.

Qin Siyang walked to the window, looking at the endless night outside the curtain and the countless gods wandering between heaven and earth. The corners of his mouth lifted.

"If I could eat them all, I can't even imagine how strong I would become!"

Today had been extremely fulfilling and had given Qin Siyang, who was reborn, hope.

He began to believe that he was the chosen one in this world.

Qin Siyang washed his slightly dusty coat, took a cold shower, and then went to bed.

Early the next morning, when he woke up, he looked at his sturdy arms and legs and still had a big smile on his face.

"What should I do today? Go back to the trash can from yesterday to look for god remains?"

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Qin Siyang rejected it.

The disappearance of the god remains in the trash can next to Exit 114514 yesterday might have attracted others' attention, and it could cause some trouble.

But when it came to hunting gods outside the safe zone, he had no idea where to start or how to do it.

What if he couldn't defeat them and was killed by the gods instead, turning from a hunter into prey? There would be no place to complain.

After thinking for a while, he slapped his head:

"Hit - and - run! I can't go to the trash can at this safe - zone exit. Why not change to another one?"
