863: System update new features

"This watch is a final masterpiece designed by the famous designer Isidore of Nozzer City, who spent five years on it."

"From the moment of its creation, the product has been a symbol of high-end luxury."

"This is thanks to its price of five hundred thousand US dollars per piece!"

"For a watch with such obvious characteristics, you don't need to test me any further, guest."

The Three-Eyed Boss calmly explained the situation with the watch on Mo De's wrist clearly.

Hearing this, Mo De's breathing hitched, and his heart couldn't be calm as he looked at the watch on his wrist.

Five hundred thousand!

This watch, which didn't look particularly special, was actually worth five hundred thousand!

What the Weird Tales rules said, that this watch wasn't his, seemed to be correct.

After all, how could a Police like him have the ability to buy this exorbitant watch?

But since it wasn't his, whose watch could it be?

Looking around their Town, could anyone come up with such a large sum of money?

Even if someone had that much money, it would absolutely not be used just to buy a watch!

How could a Sheriff like him have such a precious item? Where did this come from?

Recalling the unknown hour he had this morning, Mo De's brows furrowed tightly.

He himself also carried no small secrets.

The salesperson was still recommending jewelry.

Mo De didn't pay much attention and left the jewelry store.

He took a deep look in the direction Bertha had left, then turned his gaze to the watch on his hand.

After thinking for a moment, he still took off the watch and put it in his pocket.

He casually found a restaurant for lunch. Mo De was planning to take the various clues and information filling his mind back to the Police station to integrate them.

However, on the way to his Police car, his steps suddenly paused, and his eyes looked at a sign next to him.

[Town vegetable market]

He had been busy with the case for most of the day, and only when he saw the vegetable market did he remember that he still had to buy meat for the Child to eat at home today.

Generally speaking, the vegetable market has a complete variety of food, whether it's meat, eggs, milk, or vegetables.

But one of today's Weird Tales rules said that the vegetable market has no meat!

The vegetable market had no meat, yet he was required to buy meat from the vegetable market to take back. This was another multiple-choice question similar to yesterday's sandwich.

Pausing, Mo De felt the dozens of US dollars left in his pocket and walked towards the vegetable market.

Since it was noon, the time for buying vegetables had already passed.

At this moment, the vegetable market inside appeared relatively deserted.

Mo De entered it and could smell a faint fishy odor.

"Looks like there's fish. Does fish count as meat?" While muttering to himself, Mo De could see that the first sight upon entering the vegetable market was an area for buying and selling vegetables.

Many of the vegetables there were unfamiliar to him, perhaps specialties of this Tales of the Weird world.

Walking further back, this was the seafood area.

Fresh live fish and shrimp had already been sold out, leaving only some dead, unfresh fish and shrimp.

Generally speaking, the pace of life in this Tales of the Weird world was somewhat similar to the Original World.

There wasn't the situation of a Ghost every three steps or a group of Ghosts when turning around.

What was followed here were rules.

He came all the way to the meat section.

Mo De found that the place selling meat was completely empty, there was no meat at all!

And the Boss doing business was like an NPC, still at his original stall, passing the time.

"Aren't you selling meat here? Where's the meat?" Mo De stepped forward and asked the nearest stall owner.

Hearing the question, the stall owner glanced at Mo De, and as if a program was triggered, a smile appeared on his face: "Isn't this Sheriff Mode?"

"Are you here to buy meat?"

"Ah, that's really unfortunate. The supplier above stopped contacting us, so we don't have any meat to sell."

"They haven't sent meat since mid-July, and up until now, the person supplying the goods is completely unknown."

"Sheriff Mode, you are the Sheriff of our Town. Is there any way you could contact the person who supplies the goods?"

The A Man selling meat had fair skin, pathologically pale.

He was obese, also pathologically fat.

"No meat from July until now, that's quite a while," Mo De frowned and nodded, but then noticed some fresh minced raw meat on the meat stall: "There's still such fresh minced meat here. You must have sold meat yesterday or the day before, right?"

"These are wild game hunted by hunters in the Town on the mountain and sold to us."

"Without a stable meat supplier, whether we have meat to sell depends entirely on the hunter's luck."

"So that's how it is." Mo De exhaled a breath.

It seems he really couldn't buy meat at the vegetable market today.

The Weird Tales rules refreshed this morning weren't multiple-choice questions, but fill-in-the-blank questions!

"Ding ~ Congratulations, Host, you have successfully survived another 12 hours. The System grants one lie detection opportunity. You currently have two lie detection opportunities."

"Ding ~ The System has detected that the Host's intelligence is limited. Does the Host wish to spend two lie detection opportunities to update and add new System functions?"

In his mind.

The System, which rang once every 12 hours, suddenly provided supplementary information at this moment, attracting Mo De's attention.

When he saw the System say his intelligence was limited, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

But upon seeing the suggestion that followed, his expression became a bit more serious.

Update the System's new functions?

Normally speaking, he would certainly be very happy.

But the required price was two lie detection opportunities, and each lie detection opportunity from the System was extremely precious. Such a price made him hesitate.

"I'll wait until I have three lie detection opportunities before considering the upgrade." Facing the unknown upgrade, Mo De, although having the intention in his heart, was still relatively conservative.

After all, in such a World, he needed to live steadily and surely.

"Ding ~ Every 12 hours, the number of lie detection opportunities required for the update will also be adjusted upwards by one."
