I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

"This... is your food?" Han Zhan spoke, looking at Tong Yi sitting beside him.

He swiftly picked a piece of "charcoal" and gnawed at it enthusiastically, his mouth full of black crumbs.

"Yes, hurry up and eat, remember to pick the tasty ones first, otherwise, they’ll be snatched up by others!"

Tong Yi nodded, reminding him as he spoke.

Pick?

Han Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly. Pick what? The black charcoal?

In Han Zhan’s eyes, these identical pieces of charcoal didn’t seem to warrant any picking.

Seeing Han Zhan standing there motionless, Tong Er sighed in exasperation.

"Why are you so dumb."

"That small one is a bun. The slightly bigger one is a beef strip. The largest one, see it? It’s a roast suckling pig!"

Following the direction of Tong Er’s finger, Han Zhan saw small, large, and extra-large pieces of charcoal.

As expected, while Tong Er was introducing, Tong Yi was already scrambling with others for the extra-large piece of charcoal.

Soon, Tong Yi sat down, excitedly holding a large piece of charcoal he had torn from the extra-large piece, showing a satisfied smile.

"Eat up, eat up! We got lucky today, snagged a pig hind leg!"

Saying this, he broke off a small piece and stuffed it into Han Zhan’s hand.

Han Zhan looked down at the charcoal piece in his hand, finding it hard to associate it with a pig hind leg.

He tried to pick up the piece of charcoal, then mimicked the others and bit off a piece, slowly chewing.

A bitter taste, a charred taste, the carbonized taste of burning, instantly filled his taste buds.

Han Zhan felt as if he was wearing a mask of pain, forcefully swallowing that mouthful under the gaze of the two boys.

"How is it, tastes good right?" Tong Yi asked with a mischievous laugh.

Han Zhan didn’t answer, lost in thought.

Clearly, it was charcoal, whether by appearance or taste, it was undoubtedly charcoal. Why did these people call it delicious and describe it with different food names?

Could it be that, because of their lower status, they couldn’t eat those foods, so to comfort themselves mentally, they deliberately named these charcoal pieces after different foods?

That is to say, spiritual satisfaction.

Thinking of this, Han Zhan found it quite plausible.

However, even so, eating charcoal pieces after all is... hard to swallow!

Han Zhan took a few bites and ultimately gave up convincing himself to go with the flow.

"Do the chickens you feed also eat these?"

"Why not kill a few chickens to eat, or get some eggs, that wouldn’t be too much, right?"

Han Zhan wanted to say more, but was stopped by Tong Yi and Tong Er shaking their heads repeatedly.

"Stop, those things, there’s no way we could eat them. They’re food only the Celestial Gods have the right to enjoy!"

Oh, a new term, Celestial Gods.

Han Zhan noted all this information in his mind and didn’t say much more.

After all, with so many people around, asking too many strange questions might bring about criticism.

After dinner ended, everyone left the dining hall satisfied and returned the way they came.

"Ji Fa, there’s an empty room next to the chicken coop, you can sleep there. Just in case, if anything happens, we’re sleeping next door and can get there first."

As Tong Yi spoke, he led Han Zhan to his room.

The empty room was simple, with a bed made of straw mat and a small stool.

Aside from that, it could be described as bare and empty.

"This room is empty because it’s the closest to ’outside’, so unusual situations happen often."

"It’s unsafe, a few have died, so no one lives here anymore."

"Living here, you must not wander around, no matter what you hear from outside, do not respond, understood?"

The two boys cautioned Han Zhan.

Being closest to outside, it was highly dangerous, potentially fatal... thinking this, Han Zhan nodded slightly to show his understanding.

After giving their instructions, the two boys returned to their room to sleep.

Han Zhan lay down on the makeshift straw mat, also trying to muster sleepiness.

Fortunately, the straw mat was relatively soft, so lying on it didn’t feel uncomfortable.

"First, about the background of this Fruit World."

"Based on past Fruit World experiences, each world should have some connection to historical legends. Since they call me Ji Fa..."

"Does that mean the background setting of this Fruit World is during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties?"

"A world after a magic-modified Shang and Zhou period, could its main storyline be... to overthrow Shang?"

Han Zhan thought to himself, then raised his hands to try.

No matter how he tried, he couldn’t use his Talent Ability; it felt as if it had left him.

Moreover.

This time there was an even more alarming matter, his Supreme Flesh Body seemed to have lost its effect!

As he was now, it was like running naked on a dangerous road like an innocent child.

Figuring out how to recover his power was an urgent issue.

Having previous experiences in Fruit World, although worried, Han Zhan wasn’t too nervous and had confidence in passing through.

Just as Han Zhan was reviewing the information he had gathered upon entering Fruit World,

outside the wall next to him, a faint scraping sound suddenly arose.

It was like something’s claws gently scratching along the wall.

There’s movement outside!

Han Zhan shivered, and any drowsiness he had vanished instantly.

The sound was very close.

He could almost feel that the source of the sound was just outside the wall next to him, only separated by a wall!

The gentle scratching sound on the wall made his hairs stand on end, instinctively breaking out in goosebumps.

At that moment, Han Zhan also noticed that right in the straw pile he was lying on, someone had just dug a hole.

The hole was only the size of a finger, and hidden by the straw, it could only be discovered when lying down and pressing on the straw.

Warm sunlight streamed through the tiny hole,

adding a glimmer of light to the dim room.

Driven by curiosity, Han Zhan cautiously leaned over without making a sound.

Then, Han Zhan lowered his head slightly and looked out through the hole.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and after a while, he gradually adjusted.

He saw the usual bright daylight, the empty streets, and towering high walls.

He also saw the blue sky as clear as a wash, without a cloud, only a sun radiating golden glows.

The sun seemed like,

an eye wide open in a stare!
