The Labyrinth of the Monsters-Chapter 55 – Rune circuit

But he really cared! It's not wrong to want to grasp more information and rules in this terrifying world, right?

"Just wait a little longer, I like to eat and chat at the same time," White Rabbit took off her baseball cap, and her slightly fluffy short straight hair fell on her fair cheeks. Her bright almond-shaped eyes, cute nose, and mischievous little fangs that showed when she smiled, she really looked like a "little white rabbit" when she didn't speak.

Chubby Jun was momentarily stunned.

White Rabbit noticed Chubby Jun's gaze, "What are you looking at? I don't have the charm talent."

Chubby Jun awkwardly lowered his head.

White Rabbit blinked, suddenly realizing something, "Wow! No way, you like this type of girl?"

"Hey!" Wu Dahai interrupted, "I like her too."

"Get lost, you like any girl," White Rabbit glanced at Wu Dahai and put the large baseball cap on Chubby Jun's head, "You work hard, and when you become a regular, I'll consider you."

"Really?" Chubby Jun widened his eyes, thinking he must have misheard.

"Of course," White Rabbit's eyes gleamed mischievously, "Chubby is cute, gives a sense of security."

"Bro, don't believe this woman's nonsense!" Wu Dahai couldn't help but get angry when this matter was brought up, "I was deceived by her like this back then! She's the HR in the organization, responsible for recruiting people, and she has quotas every year!"

"Oh, I see..." Chubby Jun showed a disappointed smile as if he had expected it, scratching his head, "Yeah, someone like me, how could..."

"Don't listen to him," White Rabbit leaned forward, propping her chin with one hand, and smiled sweetly at Chubby Jun, "You're different from Wu Dahai, I'm serious."

"Great!" Chubby Jun reignited his hope, "I will definitely work hard!"

Gao Yang secretly felt shocked - this woman is so terrifying!

"Oh, by the way," White Rabbit thought of something and looked at the others, "As seniors, I have some advice for you newcomers in the workplace."

"Tell us."

"Although beasts are the most terrifying in this world, as long as you don't do anything stupid, it's generally difficult to encounter particularly dangerous beasts. Currently, what's more dangerous for you are the awakened beings outside the organization, so I advise you to avoid them, like the owner of this shop."

"Why? Shouldn't we unite as the same kind and stand together against the outside?" Chubby Jun asked, not understanding.

"In theory, yes, but the reality is completely different," White Rabbit shrugged, "Let me give you some data. Out of ten deceased awakened beings, three died at the hands of beasts, and seven died at the hands of humans."

The whole table fell silent.

"There are two things in the world that you shouldn't look directly at: the sun and human hearts." Gao Yang suddenly remembered this saying.

White Rabbit stared at Gao Yang's face, carefully observing, "You and our captain... could you be long-lost brothers?"

"Huh?"

"You always say similar things," White Rabbit smiled satisfied, "Looks like we recruited the right person this time."

As they were talking, a waiter pushed a small cart over and placed plates of grilled meat on the table, followed by drinks and beer.

White Rabbit took the tongs and grilled the meat for everyone, and Chubby Jun proactively poured drinks for everyone.

"Before talking about Ancient Village, let's talk about rune circuits," White Rabbit flipped the beef ribs on the grill with the tongs, "Rune circuits are something that all awakened beings should know. They have, ah... eat quickly, this meat will get tough if it's overcooked..."

Wu Dahai took a sip of beer, "You focus on grilling the meat, I'll explain."

"Okay."Seeing everyone's serious gaze, Wu Dahai was momentarily taken aback. He quickly dropped his casual demeanor and began to explain professionally, "There are twelve Rune Circuits in total: Life, Support, Toxin, Enhancement, Protection, Summoning, Damage, Spirit, Element, Knowledge, Space-Time, and Miracle. Just to clarify, 'Rune Circuit' is a name given by the Awakened Beings, its real name is unknown to anyone."

"In short, the Rune Circuit is very mysterious and has many functions. It's definitely not a product of our era. For Awakened Beings, its biggest known function is to help us upgrade our Talents."

"Upgrade?" Qing Ling's eyes lit up.

"Officer Huang mentioned that you've been keen on the method of upgrading," White Rabbit picked up a piece of grilled beef and placed it in Qing Ling's bowl, "Here, have some meat."

"Talk about the upgrade first," Qing Ling was eager.

"Talents start at level 1. Upgrading to level 2 is simple, just use it a few times. Upgrading to level 3 is a bit more complicated, you need to kill a few Beasts using this skill. If you're lucky, killing one is enough, if not, you might need to kill more than ten. Of course, this method of upgrading only applies to offensive type Talents. The methods for other Talents are different, but we won't go into that here."

Qing Ling nodded, "Indeed, my Metal Talent was upgraded to level 3 during the battle in Ancient Village."

"It's probably because you used both Metal and Sword God Talents to kill a lot of Beasts," Wu Dahai raised an eyebrow, "Our organization doesn't allow random killing of Beasts, but those in Ancient Village don't count. So we deliberately left them for you, to help you upgrade."

"Sounds nice, but we almost died!" Officer Huang was still angry about this.

"Hahaha, don't blame Electric Mouse, it was my idea. Let's say we used each other," White Rabbit quickly served Officer Huang some meat, "We'll talk about this later."

"Talent is a thing, the leap from level 3 to level 4 is a bottleneck, and also a qualitative leap," White Rabbit thought for a moment, "If I have to make a comparison, it's like the difference between a regular rabbit head and a spicy rabbit head."

How much do you love eating rabbit heads?!

Gao Yang held back his retort.

"What a weird comparison," Wu Dahai interrupted, "In my opinion, it's like the difference between a bicycle and a motorcycle."

Everyone nodded thoughtfully, this time it was much easier to understand.

"I want to upgrade," Qing Ling said.

"Oh, don't rush, let me finish," White Rabbit served Qing Ling another piece of meat, "Things are never that simple."
