After receiving quite a lot of information, Jason did not refuse Peters’ inquiry. “Are you from ‘Bear Tower’?” Peters had always suspected that Jason was from ‘Bear Tower’. That kind of fearless fighting style was indeed deeply ingrained in people’s hearts. Aside from ‘Bear Tower,’ Peters could think of no other. Jason responded affirmatively. “With that wonderful but deadly melody.” Peters fell silent once more after speaking. The swordsman from ‘Cat Hole’ was pondering what kind of changes the return of the ‘Piper’ would bring to the entire Federation. Jason, too, was pondering. However, what Jason was considering was what the ‘Piper’ would do next. The choice to kidnap the entire population of Taor not only had a deterrent quality but also a threatening one. With an entire city’s populace as hostages, what did the other party want? Was it to draw the Griffin Federation’s attention and then strike somewhere else, gaining more leverage? Unconsciously, Jason thought of the latter. With the abilities demonstrated by the ‘Piper,’ it was entirely possible for him to do so. As for whether this ‘Piper’ had come back from the dead, or if someone was impersonating him? Because, whether resurrected or impersonated, the other party had acquired the abilities of the ‘Piper’! With that alone, it was enough. Real or fake, the other party would be the ‘Piper.’ They were filled with hostility towards him! Jason was certain that if they met again, the other party would not hesitate to take action. After all, sugar isn’t so sweet to consume. Especially after he had disrupted their plans before. The two parties were truly at each other’s throats. “The speed of distributing sugar is still a bit slow.” “If it were faster, he wouldn’t have had the chance to escape.” Jason sighed to himself. However, he soon shook his head in self-mockery. If the ‘speed of distributing sugar’ were to increase, that would mean his connection to that bizarre entity was growing tighter. And that was definitely not something he wanted to see. Perhaps a brief ‘leverage’ could allow him to accomplish more. But in the long run, it was definitely disadvantageous. People must rely on themselves! Jason reminded himself of this at the bottom of his heart, and as he glanced at the remaining 12 points of satiety and 3 points of Excitement of Feast, he turned his attention to his skill column. With formidable enemies at his side, Jason instinctively wanted to strengthen himself. And what about using satiety points to improve not being self-reliant? Using the food I’ve consumed to strengthen myself, how is that not relying on myself? At most, it’s just learning faster. His gaze swept over [Gunpowder Weapons: Light Weapons][Barehanded Combat][Protection Against Evil][Mist Concealment][Flash Technique][Dufol Language (Passive)]. [Mist Concealment][Flash Technique][Dufol Language (Passive)] were temporarily abandoned. [Flash Technique] was enough at one point. [Mist Concealment] was similar. Having reached the Proficiency Level in [Dufol Language (Passive)], it was sufficient without having to return to ‘Lorde.’ Then, [Gunpowder Weapons: Light Weapons] was also temporarily abandoned. Not that the skill wasn’t good, but it required too much from weapons, and if Jason had an unrestricted weapon in his hand, he would definitely choose this skill that would most directly increase his strength. After ruling out the above skills, only [Barehanded Combat] and [Protection Against Evil] remained. Then even the [Protection Against Evil], which Jason fancied the most, was ruled out. Simply put, there wasn’t enough satiety. And to save up satiety? If there was no ‘Piper,’ no ‘Revival Society,’ Jason would do that. But now he chose to improve [Barehanded Combat]. It might only increase his strength by a little. But little by little adds up.
