194: Chapter Slave Girl Hill

“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome, welcome! This batch of meat is fresh and tender, all finely raised pigs.”

The auction house in the market began its broadcast, and the remaining bosses started to enter.

Lin Mo followed them in.

“Please come in, this way please.”

The attendant politely invited Lin Mo inside.

“Let me ask, aren't you supposed to be selling human flesh? How did you switch to sustainable development and start selling pork?”

Hearing Lin Mo’s question, the attendant laughed heartily.

“Sir, you jest. Humans are pigs, and pigs are humans. Now, in our Undead, the world is united, and the human and Living race have been forced into one area.”

“Our Undead Emperor is grateful for the hardships of the Living race, so she doesn't exterminate them.”

“Providing them with some meat daily is enough, consider it tribute.”

Lin Mo was stunned.

He instantly understood what the attendant meant.

It meant that the Undead had completely occupied this dungeon.

They just left a way out for the Living race and humans to raise them like livestock.

When needed, they would slaughter a few.

The human and Living race were living such tragic lives.

Inside the auction house, the lights were dim, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood and embalming spices.

Private rooms surrounded the area, where Undead nobles lounged on soft seats, holding wine glasses and conversing in low voices.

On the central auction stage, processed “fresh meat” hung from iron hooks, glistening eerily under the spotlights.

The attendant respectfully handed Lin Mo a bone-made bidding paddle: “Distinguished guest, this is your bidding paddle number 17.

Today, we have top-grade ‘pale-skinned tender livestock’ and ‘Living race ribs’ available; please choose to your heart’s content.”

Lin Mo had no appetite for the meat presented.

Taotie directly took over.

Before long, an auctioneer walked onto the stage.

[Ghoul Edward, Undead, Realm: Dominator, Level: LV985]

“Bosses, big brothers, welcome to the meat tasting event! We have many live meats available for auction in the back.”

“I hope everyone bids generously. To avoid disrupting your eating time, how about we eat and auction at the same time?!”

A round of applause erupted from the bosses below, and their subordinates cheered even louder.

After all, this was a rare free buffet, thanks to the bosses.

“Good, good, good...”

The auctioneer waved his hand, and two skeleton guards dragged a silver-haired girl onto the stage.

Her body was covered in whip marks, her thin clothes were tattered, and her exposed skin still bore fresh bloodstains.

A slave collar was around her neck, and her ankles were chafed raw by iron chains.

“Gentlemen, please look!”

The auctioneer grabbed the girl’s hair. “This is ‘Royal Special Supply’ contributed by the Human Emperor, the slave Hill! There are a full 300 more girls with such delicate skin and tender flesh! Starting bid 10 million Undead coins!”

Immediately, a flurry of bids rose from below the stage.

The girl closed her eyes in despair, tears mixed with blood dripping onto the auction stage.

“Wow, how tragic!”

“So pitiful, I almost can’t bear to eat her...”

Taotie stopped chewing.

“My Lord, why don’t we bid for the slave girl Hill? She could work in the meat processing plant.”

Lin Mo: “Don’t you have three things you don’t eat? Because she is kind?”

...“15 million!” A corpulent Undead merchant was the first to raise his paddle.

“20 million! I’m taking this batch!” shouted the slaughterhouse owner wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

The price quickly soared to 50 million, and the bidding sounds in the venue gradually thinned out.

Just then—

“80 million.” Lin Mo lazily raised paddle number 17.

The entire hall fell silent instantly, and all the Undead turned to look at this unfamiliar bidder.

The auctioneer excitedly struck his gavel: “Distinguished guest number 17 has bid 80 million! Are there any higher bids?”

The silver-haired girl suddenly looked up, staring in disbelief in Lin Mo’s direction, her parched lips trembling slightly.

Lin Mo casually tossed out a black briefcase; with a “clatter,” 80 million Undead coins spilled out like a waterfall.

The auctioneer’s eyes widened, and he quickly bowed, leading the way: “This way, distinguished guest!”

They passed through a dark corridor and arrived at a warehouse enclosed by iron cages.

With a “clink” of chains, 200 scantily clad girls were driven out.

They huddled together, their frightened gazes uniformly fixed on Lin Mo.

“These are all yours.”

The auctioneer fawningly handed over the keys to the control collars.

[Congratulations! You have successfully rescued 200 girls. Morality value increased by 200 points.]

[Current Morality value: -50]

Lin Mo: ?????

[Due to your increased Morality value, your body is gradually returning to human form, and overall attribute strength has increased by 60%.]

Lin Mo suddenly pressed his chest—within his formerly silent skeletal ribcage, a “thump-thump” heartbeat could be heard.

A faint flush appeared beneath his pale skin, and the decaying aura unique to the Undead was dissipating.

He stared at his hand, which was gradually regaining warmth, and mused: “It seems as long as my Morality value is restored, I can be completely resurrected...”

Lin Mo gestured for Taotie to take the girls to a safe area, whispering: “Watch over them. You cannot eat them.”

As he turned, Lin Mo noticed several crystal cages in the corner.

Inside were a dozen Living race women with pointed ears and emerald eyes, their skin glowing with a pearly luster.

Even in tattered clothes, their elegant demeanor remained undeniable.

One of the blonde elves was gently bandaging a companion’s wound with vines, her movements as delicate as if tending to flowers.

“Distinguished guest has a good eye!”

The auctioneer sidled over, rubbing his hands. “These top-grade Living race have 1.5 times the subcutaneous fat of humans, and their meat is fresh, tender, and juicy. Especially the blonde one, her muscle definition is perfect...”

“They are the next auction item, starting bid 100 million Undead coins.”

“Of course, you are generous. If you bid 1 billion, I won’t put the remaining Living race pork up for auction.”

Lin Mo smiled.

“You’re too kind. Only 1 billion? You underestimate me too much.”

“Ah! You want to buy them? That’s wonderful!”

“Hmm, release them first.”

The auctioneer snapped his fingers, and the doors to their cages all opened.

Taotie said to the Living race girls inside: “Come out, all of you, come out.”

[Congratulations! You have successfully rescued 105 girls. Morality value increased by 105 points.]

[Current Morality value: 55]

[Due to your increased Morality value, your body has fully recovered its human form, and attributes have reached their peak, increasing to 100%.]

Lin Mo looked at the host with satisfaction.

The host also looked at Lin Mo, their eyes meeting.

After two minutes.

The host still asked somewhat awkwardly.

“Um, um, shouldn’t you be paying?”

Lin Mo was surprised.

“Paying? Did I say I would pay?”
