Upgrade of capabilities

Qin Siyang's eyes were filled with excitement as he scanned the god remains in the trash can and licked his lips.

There were actually so many discarded god remains! It seemed that those sequence ability users had brought back quite a few useless remains.

Wasn't this a great opportunity for him?

It was truly a gift from heaven!

He was indeed the chosen one!

Qin Siyang looked around. Seeing that no one was coming, he picked up the worm - infested ear on top of the trash can.

Perhaps because this ear had been separated from the god's body for too long and lost its vitality, the wriggling of those worms was already very weak, as if emitting a final whine.

Qin Siyang swallowed hard and still felt a bit nauseous.

The disgusting appearance of the god remains, mixed with the smell of blood in the air, made him extremely uncomfortable. Even Hannibal from his previous life would probably shake his head.

But he still suppressed the physical discomfort and made up his mind to give it a try. In the face of his strong inner desire, all instincts were weakened.

"No need to do tasks, no need to sacrifice. Just eat some disgusting things and I can become stronger. What else is there to complain about!"

He remembered that it was said in the [Godslaying Camp] that when a person ate god remains, they wouldn't have any reaction. They couldn't digest or absorb it. They would either vomit it out or excrete it.

Since there was no poison, there was no need to worry too much.

First, eat it and then think about it!

He pinched his nose with one hand, closed his eyes, and stuffed the ear into his mouth with the other hand.

After chewing for a while, he swallowed the god remains along with the mouthful of meat pulp. To his surprise, although the god remains looked disgusting, the taste was actually quite good.

The creatures in this world had mutated, and he ate strange foods every day. This god remains didn't seem to be worse than the cheap bloody jellyfish and black lizard juice he ate every day.

It wasn't even inferior to the food in the cafeteria!

He didn't know whether it was because the god's meat was truly acceptable or because the cafeteria cook's cooking skills were too poor.

"If all god remains taste like this, then I won't be polite!"

Qin Siyang opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

Then, he looked at the information panel in his mind to confirm if he had become stronger.

[Sequence "God Eater" Awakened]

[Digest gods and become stronger]

[Current sequence level: Level 1, Glutton]

[Skill: Blood Drink. Skill description: Can digest raw gods.]

"Why isn't there any change at all?! Could it be playing tricks on me?!"

Just then, Qin Siyang felt a strange sound coming from inside his body. It seemed to come from the position of his heart, a "gurgling" sound, like a spring that had just broken through the obstruction of sand and gravel, gushing out the long - accumulated clear spring wantonly. Then, the outburst of this spring spread throughout his body.

Next, his whole body ached. It was as if a torrential flood was surging wildly in his narrow blood vessels, about to burst his muscles. His whole body twitched uncontrollably, and his muscles also jumped frantically.

After about a minute, the pain finally disappeared completely. He felt his arm muscles twitch a couple of times and then return to normal.

"What's going on?"

Qin Siyang was very curious. He didn't know whether the physical changes brought about by swallowing the god remains were good or bad. So he took off his coat and looked at his arm.

Although his arm didn't seem to be very different from before, Qin Siyang, who was extremely familiar with his own body, immediately noticed that the muscles on his arm seemed to have grown a bit stronger!

Could it be that he had become stronger?!

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but his whole body was more energetic than before. Even the schoolbag full of food on his back seemed to have become a bit lighter.

"This..."

He looked at the information panel again and found that there was still no change.

But the changes in his body were telling him that he had indeed undergone some indescribable changes.

"It seems that the information about this [God Eater] isn't lying. I really did become stronger after eating the god. It's just that this little improvement isn't enough to be reflected in the information."

Qin Siyang quickly found a reasonable explanation.

Since it was effective, it meant that Qin Siyang's experiment of strengthening his own abilities by swallowing god remains had succeeded.

A good beginning is half the battle!

Qin Siyang showed a greedy smile and rubbed his hands as he looked at the other strange - shaped god remains in the trash can.

He couldn't wait any longer. He picked up a hairy claw, being careful not to let the blood stain his coat, and then stuffed this god remains into his mouth.

"The hair on this claw is a bit prickly and hard to swallow."

He thumped his chest and took out the water bottle from his schoolbag. After a difficult swallowing process, he finally managed to get the claw into his stomach.

However, because the claw was covered with hair, he didn't taste the real flavor of the god remains, which made him a bit regretful.

Then, the feeling of the torrential flood surging through his body came again.

After a short while, Qin Siyang excitedly looked at his own body. The signs of becoming stronger were even more obvious.

"I'm stronger and more energetic!"

Qin Siyang didn't hesitate anymore. He feasted on the god remains beside the trash can.

But he didn't get carried away. When picking up the god remains, he was always very careful to avoid getting blood on his clothes.

If he got covered in blood, he would definitely attract attention when walking on the way home, and it would be hard for him to explain.

At the same time, he also kept a vigilant eye on his surroundings to prevent others from seeing his strange behavior.

"To become stronger, one must be low - key. The secret of the sequence ability must be kept."

His work experience in his previous life had made him aware of the wickedness of many people's hearts. In this life, since he had such a unique ability, he must be extremely careful and not reveal it to others easily.

Qin Siyang furtively ate one piece of god remains after another, enjoying the pain of the flood surging through his body. And this pain, which was unbearable at first, gradually became milder, and he even became a bit obsessed with it.

"Damn it, don't I have a masochistic tendency?!" Qin Siyang scolded in a low voice in his heart and warned himself not to sink into the pleasure of pain.

But after eating so many god remains, he didn't feel the slightest sense of fullness in his stomach.

"It's really strange. After eating so much, I don't feel full. Even... I'm a bit hungry?!"

It seemed that, as he had guessed before, when eating gods, he could only improve his own strength and couldn't satisfy his hunger.

Digestion and absorption seemed to be two completely different things, and Qin Siyang, the [Glutton], couldn't figure it out all at once.

Although Qin Siyang's stomach was growling, he still decided to finish all the god remains in the trash can first.

The disappearance of the god remains in the trash can might attract others' attention. If it was noticed by someone with ulterior motives and they came to wait for him here next time, it would be troublesome.

Quickly cleaning up the god remains was the top priority.

Qin Siyang sped up his actions and continued to gobble up the god remains beside the trash can.

Finally, after more than an hour, he swallowed all the more than thirty god remains here, and his strength and state had undergone a qualitative change.

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

After leaving the trash can, he found a puddle on the nearby ground and washed the blood off his hands and face. Without any hesitation, he quickly left and walked towards home.

To avoid being noticed, he deliberately put on the hood of his sweatshirt and hid his head in the shadow of the hood.

He would deal with everything after getting home!

The changes in his body were very obvious. He covered the two - hour journey in just one hour and didn't feel the slightest bit tired.

Although the time was halved, his mood was twice as tormented. This journey seemed extremely long because he had something on his mind, as if a whole day had passed.

When he got home, he was as exhausted as if he had worked for a whole day. Sitting on the sofa made of cardboard boxes, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

"The mission is successfully completed."

It was night time now, and he was extremely hungry.

As soon as he closed the door, he immediately opened his schoolbag and picked up a six - eyed long - fish meal to satisfy his hunger.

As soon as he put the food into his mouth, Qin Siyang frowned and showed a disgusted expression.

"The food in the cafeteria is really terrible. The taste isn't much better than eating raw god remains. If the god remains couldn't fill my stomach, I really wouldn't even want to touch this cafeteria food!"

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 since it was the weekend tomorrow and he didn't need to take the lunch box to school, he could take a little break.

This kind of moderate laziness was also a small relaxation with the arrival of the weekend.

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

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

In Qin Siyang's eyes, the process of the kettle falling seemed to be in slow - motion. He could clearly capture the whole process of the kettle slowly falling. He could even see clearly how the splashed water droplets trembled and fell in the air.

He reached out his hand and easily caught the kettle.

"I seem to have become much more agile! My perception ability has also become stronger. This is really a wonderful experience!"

He put the kettle back on the table. Before he could even sigh, he saw a deep handprint on the kettle and was startled again.

"Did I do this?!! Has my strength also increased?"

He tried to clench the kettle. With a little force, the kettle didn't change. But when he thought about deforming the kettle in his mind, the shape of the kettle changed again.

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

But he clearly didn't intend to use force just now. Why did the kettle still deform when he caught it?

Perhaps subconscious actions could also trigger his strength.

He didn't know whether these changes and improvements were common among sequence users or the special effect of his own sequence.

Now he was penniless and couldn't go to the Internet café to log in to the [Godslaying Camp] forum to find relevant information.

He remembered that it was said on the forum that one could go to the Sequence Ability User Management Bureau to learn about relevant things, but one had to prove that they were a sequence ability user to enter the management bureau.

He didn't plan to announce the changes in his sequence ability in the short term. At least he would wait until he had a general understanding of the sequence ability before making a decision.

So, the [Godslaying Camp] was the only place where he could obtain information.

But to access the [Godslaying Camp], he needed a connected computer or a mobile phone. These were all luxuries for him. The money for a computer was enough for him to live for a month, not to mention the subsequent electricity and Internet fees, which together were an astronomical figure for him.

He could only go to the Internet café. But even the ten copper coins for half an hour in the Internet café was a huge sum of money.

In the poor and backward area at the edge of the safe zone where Qin Siyang was, even adults had to fight desperately for a job, so there were no jobs arranged for students.

The only way to earn money was to do part - time work as a librarian in the school library, which paid ten copper coins a week.

Fortunately, Teacher Zhu in the library knew Qin Siyang's situation and took special care of him, leaving the only part - time librarian job for him.

"Alright, although the money comes slowly, it's better than nothing."

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

Qin Siyang walked to the window and looked at the endless night outside the curtain and the countless gods wandering between heaven and earth. He curled the corner of his mouth.

"If I could eat them all, I wonder how strong I would become."

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

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.

He slept very soundly that night. Even his dreams were no longer about wandering alone in the endless wilderness, but about the successful scene after becoming a sequence ability user.

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

He had indeed become stronger.

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

As soon as this thought came up, Qin Siyang rejected it.

The disappearance of the god remains in the trash can beside Exit No. [X] yesterday might have attracted others' attention after a night of fermentation. He couldn't take the risk of going there again.

But he had no idea how to go out of the safe zone to hunt gods. If he couldn't beat them and was eaten by the gods right away, there would be no place to reason.

After thinking for a while, he slapped his head:

"Move around! If I can't go to the trash can at this exit of the safe zone, I can just go to another one!"
