Chapter 234: Growth Between Scenes
Under the night.

Su Ming set up a small square table in front of the Death Hut and brought over two stools.

Go to a nearby barbecue stall, buy two plates of skewers, and take a few bottles of beer.

Sitting at the wooden table, I started to have a midnight snack with the Black Death.

There were pedestrians passing by, but no one noticed them, as if they were just air. Just like the Black Death’s shop, it was so unique, but it did not attract much attention or onlookers.

The Black Death “Ton Ton Ton” drank half a bottle of beer and commented, “Not bad, I’ve never tasted beer that tastes like this.”

“Actually, I studied winemaking for a while and even got the title of winemaking master from a world winemaking association. If I have time, I’ll make some and let you taste my craftsmanship…”

Su Ming sighed: “As the God of Death, you are really versatile and know a little bit of everything…”

The Black Death looked up at the night sky and said with emotion: “Because I have lived too long, learning more things and cultivating some hobbies can help me effectively fight this emptiness and boredom.”

Su Ming: “Is this the leisurely life of a retired god?”

“It’s different for me. The horror game dungeons are one after another, and there is basically no chance to breathe. No, it’s not that there is no chance, but I always feel like there is something pressing ahead. Even if I have some free time, I can’t completely relax.”

The Black Death drank another half bottle of beer: “I know this kind of situation. I was in this situation before. At that time, I hadn’t become a god yet. I was working as a death accelerator in the hell. The boss above set all kinds of KPIs crazily, and there were all kinds of time-limited assessments. If you didn’t pass, you would be punished. At that time, it was indeed very stressful…”

“…Well, this situation lasted for about five hundred years. It was probably because our boss at that time offended some powerful person and was killed after he left. After a new boss was replaced, things became easier.”

“Looking back now, I have almost forgotten the pain I went through. Instead, I feel it was quite fulfilling and interesting…”

Su Ming discovered that, perhaps because of his rich experience, the Black Reaper was particularly talkative.

He suspected that if he wanted to, he could even talk about it for days at a time without repeating himself.

And because he used to work as a storyteller, the Black Death is also very good at telling stories, and his stories sound very interesting.

After listening for two hours, Su Ming knew that he couldn’t go on like this.

I quickly said goodbye: “Brother Death, let’s stop eating this barbecue! I have to go back and prepare for the next horror copy.”

The Black Death nodded: “Okay! Come on! Boy! I’m rooting for you!”

“If you really can’t do it, surrender. If you can’t beat them, join them. As long as you have a green mountain, you will not be afraid of a lack of firewood. When you come back, you can tell me what the situation is like among those believers of the End.”

Su Ming complained: “What’s the point of asking me to surrender? Can’t I just crush all those believers of the End of Time?”

Black Death: “Just speaking from a probability perspective, the chances of you being crushed are relatively high. We have to prepare for the worst.”

After returning home, Su Ming continued to play the game, trying it from various angles.

Because the game process is short, each attempt will not take up too much time.

After many attempts, his understanding of this copy has steadily improved.

Two days later, the intermission growth prompt appeared. At this time, Su Ming had already figured out two ways to pass the level perfectly.

【Please select the intermission growth content:】

[1. Normal Growth: Give up this intermission growth and postpone the next copy arrival time by three days. (Cost 0 points)]

[2. Excellent Growth: Go to a parallel world without weirdness and spend three months there, and get a black card with a deposit of 500 million yuan. (Cost points)]

[3. Excellent Growth: Go to Baji Gate and follow the Bajiquan master to practice Bajiquan and improve your fighting ability. (Cost 3000 points)]

[5. Perfect Growth: Go to the Happy Life Casino and work as a professional dealer for five years. In this process, you may be able to gain growth in “fortune” with your existing extraordinary abilities. (Costs 10000 points)]

[6. Perfect Growth: Go to Mr. Octopus’s food cruise ship and serve as a chef apprentice for five years. During this process, you may gain the characteristic growth of “food processing” in your existing extraordinary abilities. (Cost 10000 points)]

[7. Perfect Growth: Go to the studio of the dead designer and work as an assistant for five years. In this process, you may be able to grow in the “butterfly effect” with your existing extraordinary abilities.]

[8. Perfect Growth: Go to the New World Virtual Reality Game Design Company and work as a tester for five years. In this process, you may be able to grow in “testing” related aspects with your existing extraordinary abilities.]

【Note 1: Growth during intermission will not really die. 】

[Note 2: No matter how long the intermission is, the actual experience is only a moment.]

The perfect growth content this time all involves the enhancement of extraordinary abilities.

It involves four different directions, but all of them are based on his extraordinary ability of “deviation”.

Based on the information he obtained from chatting with the Black Death, as well as the information provided by the Countermeasures Bureau, he now understands that supernatural abilities are actually equivalent to tools.

If you want to achieve a certain goal, you can use different tools to achieve it. Just like if you want to drive a nail into a board, you can use a hammer to hit it, or you can pick up a bench and use it to hit it in, or you can put it on the main road and wait for a car to come by and drive the nail in…

Supernatural powers are like hammers, benches, and other things that drive nails into wooden boards. These are the problems that people with supernatural powers face.

When hammering a nail, a hammer may be more useful than a bench, but if you change the scenario, when someone is tired of standing and needs to sit down, a bench is more useful than a hammer.

Therefore, there is no superiority or inferiority among the four perfect growths, only suitability or not.

“First, option 8 can be ruled out. Growth in testing should allow me to have better expectations of what the deviation results will be. This function can be achieved through the CD.”

“Secondly, option 5 should also be ruled out. The cost of deviation is luck. This option may help me reduce the consumption of luck or something, but I don’t use deviation that frequently.”

The only ones worth worrying about are option 6, Mr. Octopus, and option 7, Death Designer.

Mr. Octopus is a safer choice. The food he makes should be able to provide stable gains, and by nourishing your body with food, it is possible to permanently increase your physical strength.

The butterfly effect of the death designer should involve the linkage between deviation effects, but it is still unclear to what extent it can be achieved.
