Chapter 693: Chapter 74: Swear by the Name of the Ancestors!
[Main Quest: 0/100000]
[Main Quest: 200/100000]
[Main Quest: 500/100000]
After breakfast, Jason had been keeping an eye on the main quest.
When he saw that the number of books purchased was steadily increasing, and the speed was getting faster, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
He had just been worried about whether the “Mind Transference Writing Method” would have any problems.
"After all, not everyone can become a writer,”
"Even someone with talent like me is the same,”
Having let go of his last bit of concern, Jason took a deep breath and walked into the courtyard.
At the end of summer, the morning sun was quite pleasant.
Jason simply leaned back in a chair in the courtyard, basking in the sunlight.
It wasn’t really a rest.
It was more about thinking over the next plan.
Now that the main quest was completely settled, he finally had time to think about how to optimize benefits within the rules.
"There shouldn’t be any surplus ‘food’ around Cherry City!”
"Even if there is, it’s impossible to obtain within the rules,”
Jason thought, squinting his eyes.
Going to other cities to collect ‘food’ seemed like a very good idea at first glance.
But that would require a lot of time!
And did he have such time now?
He couldn’t even manage to leave Cherry City.
Because of those ‘Sabie aliens.’
The ‘lunar’ battle had already reached a white-hot stage.
The ‘ground’ war being affected was just a matter of time.
Or rather, the ground had already been affected.
And the focus of the Sabie aliens was: Cherry City.
Jason guessed it was because the ‘ground’ established the battleship production base nearby.
Of course, it could also be for other reasons.
But no matter what the answer was, Jason knew that he simply couldn’t leave Cherry City.
He didn’t dare to bet that the Sabie aliens wouldn’t attack during the time he left Cherry City.
It wasn’t that Jason considered himself so important.
It was because Cherry City had already become the city with his greatest ‘influence.’
If this city fell, and a large number of civilians died, the most direct consequence would be that his main quest would likely be impossible to complete. ʀ𝘢ℕƟBËS̈
Therefore, he had to prevent such a result from happening.
"While providing leeway, it limits other aspects as well?”
Jason commented, then looked at his satiety and Excitement of Feast levels.
[Excitement of Feast: 6]
Satiety had just reached the bare minimum requirement in his heart.
And Excitement of Feast?
It was far from enough.
"To elevate ‘Protection Against Evil’ to unparalleled level requires 10 points of Excitement of Feast, still lacking 4 points!”
Jason’s brow furrowed involuntarily.
Four points might not seem like much, but Jason, who knew how rare Excitement of Feast was, understood how difficult it would be to obtain those four points, unless… another Sabie alien battleship similar to the previous one appeared.
Similar wouldn’t cut it.
It had to be at least a bit bigger.
The taste must be very good.
Remembering the thick, creamy taste of the Sabie alien’s [small battleship power core], Jason couldn’t help but start salivating.
However, he immediately restrained such ‘hunger.’
It must become a habit to contain ‘hunger.’
Excessive indulgence would only lead to losing oneself.
"Self-discipline gives me freedom!”
Jason reminded himself once more.
At the same time, he opened his eyes and looked toward the only road leading to the ‘Bastion.’
A sedan was slowly approaching from the end of the road.
As the car came to a stop, Bolun, accompanied by Emily, got out, with Emily holding two books and waving at Jason, while Bolun was carrying a food box.
"This is a breakfast snack from ‘Feast & Wine Pavilion’ today,”
"If you don’t mind, please accept it,”
Bolun handed the food box to Jason.
"Of course I don’t mind,”
Jason, who would never reject food, smiled and took the food box from Bolun.
Even through the sealed box, Jason could smell the deliciousness inside.
"Lord Jason, autograph! Autograph!”
"This is what Bolun and I got up early to snatch!”
"Right now, there’s still a queue at the bookstore!”
Emily then presented the two books to Jason.
The books were brand new, just unwrapped.
The cover was all black, with just a wisp of white, outlining faint shadows.
Looking like both mist and the shadow of a person.
And then at the striking book title, “The Jason Enigma.”
At the bottom was Jason’s name.
It was clear the book cover was thoughtfully designed, those simple outlines gave Jason a sense of a master’s touch, which made the corners of his mouth curl up.
Nobody wants their ‘work’ to be treated carelessly.
His editor, though sharp-tongued, really did put the effort in.
"With such a cover, more people should be willing to buy it, right?”
Jason thought, and then took the book from Emily’s hands.
"Emily, what do you want me to write?”
Jason was very serious about signing for the first person to ask for his autograph.
"That might be a bit difficult.”
