After finishing the test with the items, Layla was eager to try out a few of the other things she had brought along with her.
"Do I really have to worry about something like this?" Quinn said as he picked up a clove of garlic.
"Not really, to be honest, I just wanted to try out everything, garlic always acted more as a repellent in the first place and the fact that you’re holding it like that, would suggest it wouldn’t hurt."
While Quinn looked at the piece of garlic, he decided to use the inspect skill on just to be sure. If something would harm him, he was sure the system would be able to tell him basic information such as this.
"Inspect."
\u003c A glove of garlic. Due to your heightened senses, the piece may test extremely bad. Safe to consume \u003e
The good news was the system had informed him that the garlic wasn’t poisonous, which meant it would be able to do with the other items as well. The bad news was, that he had to still eat the garlic so Layla didn’t get suspicious.
He broke the glove into a small piece before placing it into his mouth. The taste was incredibly strong, it felt like he was eating dog crap. Not that he knew how that tasted anyway but if he had to imagine this was it.
Quin immediately started to spit on the ground trying to get the taste out of his mouth.
"Well, at least you look fine," Layla said.
Quinn had actually expected this result before even using his inspect skill. The taste of food had slightly changed ever since his evolution. Sweet food such as ice cream and cakes now tasted bland, it was the same with fruit.
The only thing that still tasted fine for him was meat. Although everything seemed to taste slightly saltier than before, it was the same with other herbs as well. Although there was one thing that drastically changed for him and that was blood, it was a greater taste than anything he had before and was sweet as caramel itself.
Just thinking about it, Quinn wanted another taste, but he was still able to control himself just fine. It was the same way when someone thought about chocolate, they suddenly wanted chocolate but they didn’t need it.
Before touching any of the other items, Quinn made sure to use his inspect skill on each one. First was the metal cross.
"A religious symbol that has no effect." The system said.
Then the chain.
"A sliver Chain that is made up of 92 percent silver. Wearing the item can be used as a fashion accuracy."
With both the items there was no such warning. Quinn then proceeded to pick up both of them with no worry. He was starting to trust the system more and more lately as it had been more helpful and accurate.
