The main interface, manifested by Serie's abnormal ability, was very simple, with only five options.
"Witch", "Tasks", "Abilities", "Items", and "Rebirth" in the very center.
She had already seen the "Witch" interface, which contained the image and information of the body Serie currently possessed.
Next was "Tasks".
Serie opened it, and there were two subcategories: "Main Quest" and "Witch Quest".
"Main Quest" is used to improve Serie's main body and obtain more bodies like the Mad Eater Witch.
Currently, there are three tasks in "Main Quest", one of which has been completed—
"Main Quest: New Life (Completed)"
"Objective: Create a Witch clone"
"Reward: Rebirth Count + 1"
Serie didn't remember going through the process of creating a Witch.
Only after much thought did she suddenly realize, could it be that the inexplicable "psychological test" was the process of creating a Witch?
If so, everything made sense: wanting to eat… bestial human… while the other points were not as intuitive, they more or less corresponded to the Mad Eater Witch.
There were also two other tasks:
"Main Quest: Escape from Death (In Progress)"
"Objective: Have the Mad Eater Witch escape the tomb"
"Reward: Attribute Point + 1"
"Main Quest: First Step (In Progress)"
"Objective: Have one Witch clone learn an ability"
"Reward: Ability Point + 1 (Serie exclusive)"
Witch clone?
It seemed that Serie's two bodies were not equal.
The one in the Control Bureau was her main body, and the Mad Eater Witch was a clone.
This meant that Serie's abnormal ability was actually to create and control Witch clones?
Serie was already looking forward to what the next Witch would be like.
Of course, being indecisive was not right.
Her top priority was to first figure out the situation with the Mad Eater Witch.
Then, she looked at the other tasks below.
"Witch Quest" was like a side quest, or rather, a unique bond quest for the Witch.
It required Serie to simulate the Witch's personality and habits.
There were also three Witch Quests currently, one completed and two in progress.
"Witch Quest: Wonderful Breakfast Time (Completed)"
"Objective: Eat something… but not too casually!"
"Reward: Attribute Point + 1"
"Witch Quest: First Taste of the World (In Progress)"
"Objective: Have the Mad Eater Witch's Gluttony Count reach 1000 (Current Gluttony Count: 700)"
"Reward: Ability Point + 1"
And…
"Witch Quest: Bloodlust Nature"
"Objective: Have the Mad Eater Witch hunt and consume any animal, including humans… let delicious fresh blood soak your taste buds"
"Reward: Ability 'Bloodthirsty Madness'"
Serie's eyes lit up slightly.
Unfortunately, like the previous "Tough Skin", "Bloodthirsty Madness" could not be viewed in advance and could only be guessed from its literal meaning.
Fortunately, the tasks were not too difficult; Serie only needed 300 more Gluttony Counts to complete "First Taste of the World".
At that time, gaining an Ability Point and learning a new ability would also complete a Main Quest.
As for the Bloodlust Nature task, it was even simpler; just catch a chicken or duck and eat it.
The only headache was that she had to eat it raw. Although this was somewhat repulsive for a university student living in peacetime who had never even killed a chicken, faced with the generous ability reward, she would grit her teeth and swallow it.
Serie now knew her current goal, so she was no longer confused.
The top priority was to quickly accumulate 1000 Gluttony Counts, then complete the task and obtain an Ability Point.
Serie first added the Attribute Point reward from completing "Wonderful Breakfast Time" to her Stamina.
After all, sharpening the axe does not delay the chopping of wood.
"Serie used 'Attribute Point' on the Mad Eater Witch"
"Stamina F → Stamina E"
"Remaining Attribute Points: 0"
Next, Serie came to the stone door.
Her strength, having just risen to E-rank, was barely at the level of an ordinary person. No matter how she pushed, the stone door remained motionless.
So, Serie simply sat cross-legged in front of the stone door and began to eat voraciously.
Sparks flew the moment her sharp serrated teeth scraped against the rock.
As for the taste…
The rock dust entering her mouth carried an earthy bitterness, tasting like a lawn washed by rain for an entire season.
It was cool and quite refreshing.
The coarse stone grated between her teeth, but fortunately, Serie's teeth were hard enough, quickly cutting the rock into gravel in her mouth. The gritty texture grated between her teeth, just like eating a piece of chalk, her mouth full of rock fragments.
Serie felt as if she had turned into a human rock crusher.
Only when the female voice in her mind sounded did Serie feel some comfort, like a bitter medicine.
"The Mad Eater Witch used 'Wasteful Devour' on 'Stone Door'"
"Gained 0.5 Devouring Layers"
"'Hardness' + 0.1%"
"'Hardness' current progress 70.1%"
Like dipping a steamed bun in Lao Gan Ma, Serie grabbed a handful of dirt and shoved it into her mouth to chew.
A salty taste mixed with an earthy smell burst between her teeth.
"The Mad Eater Witch used 'Wasteful Devour' on 'Dirt'"
"Gained 0.1 Devouring Layers"
"'Digging' + 0.3%"
"'Digging' current progress 0.3%. Upon completion, the ability 'Cave Tracking' will be acquired."
It was so damn disgusting…
The layers provided by these ordinary dirt and rocks were far less than the mysterious metal used to make the muzzle, but the advantage was that every bite prompted an increase in Gluttony Counts.
Accumulating bit by bit, inexhaustible; this place had no shortage of rocks and dirt.
Although they tasted so bad that they made her want to vomit, the Mad Eater Witch's body contained endless appetite.
No matter how bad it tasted, she still wanted to eat, and no matter how much she ate, she still felt unsatisfied.
Chewing sounds and occasional dry heaves echoed incessantly in the tomb.
After a few hours, she had gnawed a large gap in the heavy stone door.
Although it wasn't yet large enough for her to crawl out of the tomb, as Serie's small mouth wasn't very efficient, she could already vaguely feel cool breezes blowing in from outside the door.
Clearly, escaping the tomb was not far off.
Serie panted heavily, haphazardly wiping her face, which was dirty with sweat and dust.
It was a good thing she was smart enough to increase her Stamina by one level beforehand, otherwise, just eating so desperately would have exhausted her to death.
Even so, she felt her jaw aching to the point of numbness, and the repetitive, mechanical chewing became less smooth.
However, to her delight, when she opened the interface, her Gluttony Count finally reached 1000.
"Ability: 'Wasteful Devour': Greedily devour anything to gain Gluttony Counts that can enhance your various attributes, and have a chance to gain the abilities of the devoured. (Current Gluttony Count: 1016)"
"Witch Quest: First Taste of the World (Completed)"
"Reward acquired: Ability Point + 1"
