Chapter 318: Monster Nest Island

After a morning of hard work, the garbage caused by the fight in the church was finally cleaned up.

The wooden benches are gone, and there is a lot more firewood.

After Xu Zhiyan finished talking with Xiao Kui Gu, he looked up at the crumbling roof with a hesitant look on his face.

“Isn’t this place going to collapse?”

The whole night of chaos left only a thin layer of skin on the church roof, which looked like it would be blown away by a gust of sea breeze. His worries were not unfounded.

Jiang Huai Que coughed lightly and explained.

"I asked the stupid game, and it said that as long as the owner of the monster nest is still there, the monster nest will never collapse."

He had been worried before. If the roof collapsed, everyone would be injured. There were no supplies here, and getting injured was no joke.

Xu Zhiyan nodded, feeling somewhat relieved.

Looking at Geng Yu and Yu Jiantong working hard at the side, he waved to them to come over.

"What are you two going to do next?"

After listening to Jiang Huaique's story about the two's background, he roughly knew that the other party didn't have many points, and even their props had been searched clean by the demons.

The two unlucky poor guys looked at each other.

Their clothes were tattered and they didn't have any decent props. Even the cloth strip that Geng Yu was holding on his head was given by Xiao Cui Gu.

Seeing the two men's legs go limp and they looked like they were about to kneel down, Xu Zhiyan stepped back half a step and shouted, "Don't move!"

Damn it, he hates it most when people beg him.

"I have a general idea of your situation. Stay here and work. I'll give you some food and make sure you get out alive."

Xu Zhiyan frowned and told the prepared plan.

The two people in front of him were both living in poverty in this world and owed a lot of foreign debts, so they responded to the intentions of the guild's top leaders and took the initiative to become cannon fodder. Considering the possibility of death, the two of them even cleared their points.

It must be said that this was the first time Xu Zhiyan encountered a player who was not able to squeeze out even a drop of oil or water in the dungeon, and he had already taken away the only remaining props of the two people...

He will protect the two people, but on this basis, the two people will also have to do some work.

He thought he would be thrown out for not paying, but he didn't expect the black-hearted businessman to be so generous this time. Geng Yu touched the bandage on his head and tears were about to fall.

"Boss Xu, you are such a good person."

Yu Jiantong on the side also nodded, and it was obvious that both of them were very surprised.

In the live broadcast room that had just been repaired, viewers left messages one after another.

[From this perspective, we, the Little Millionaire, still have a conscience! ]

[Yes! What a nice person! ]

[It was so funny. I thought he was going to chase these two useless people away. Look at how scared the kids were.]

[In fact, the cost of raising these two poor guys is not very high. After all, they are in the church monster nest, so their condition is much lighter.]

[That's right, Xiao Millionaire has unlimited rabbits, so he just needs to raise two more idle people. ]

[Damn it, next time I meet a little millionaire, I'll try playing the victim too! ]

Xu Zhiyan didn't know that someone in the live broadcast room was trying to take advantage of him, so he calmly accepted the praise from the two poor guys.

"Alas, there are not many good people like me now. You must cherish me and work hard." After saying that, he went to find Jiang Huaique to discuss things and ignored the two of them.

Seeing this, Xiao Cui Gu, who was waiting on the side, walked forward and handed the plan he had prepared long ago to the two of them.

There were two huge boxes piled behind it, and no one knew what was inside.

The two people, immersed in gratitude, took the white paper in confusion, and saw that it listed in neat handwriting what they had to do next.

[Hello! This is Xiaokuigu! This is the work you two will do to obtain the right of residence.]

[Wool scarves: 412 pieces]

[It doesn’t matter if I can’t knit a scarf. I will ask Mr. Jiang to teach me.]

It opened the box, revealing the red wool inside.

These were all found in the ruins of the town. They are pure wool yarn and of very good quality.

Originally, Xu Zhiyan thought that the New Year was coming soon, and the monsters in the safe house had been working very hard. During such a festive occasion, they must give everyone some gifts.

He had already been thinking about what to give.

Food is definitely not an option. Not only do the monsters have huge appetites, but he always brings some out of the dungeon. Giving them food during the New Year would seem perfunctory. Expensive gifts are also not an option. There are so many monsters with names in the safe house. It would be better to kill him if he gives expensive gifts!

Just after scanning the list of items that Xiaokui Gu had taken out of the town, Xu Zhiyan discovered that there was a lot of wool in it...

The raw materials are available, the labor force is in place, and even the teachers are ready.

Great, give me a scarf!

And the yarn happened to be red, and he had already thought of a gimmick: it was called the Ghost Scarf! Which monster wouldn't be confused if he received this?

Jiang Huaique looked at Xu Zhiyan who was approaching him, and before he could say anything, he heard two "dong dong" sounds.

Turning around, he found that it was Geng Yu and Yu Jiantong. For some reason, the two of them suddenly knelt in front of the box with exaggerated expressions on their faces.

"what happened?"

He frowned at his teammates.

Xu Zhiyan shrugged and said indifferently: "They knew that I wanted to take them in for free, so they decided to help me a little..."

He briefly explained the two people's tasks.

"Teacher Jiang, I'll have to trouble you to teach these two people. Of course, you can also go and weave if you're bored."

Upon learning that the two of them were going to knit more than 400 scarves in the next period of time, Jiang Huaique, a man who was passionate about handicrafts, was silent for a long while before he came to his senses and spoke.

"Xu Baopi, what's your grudge against them?"

Four hundred scarves? Is that a humanly feasible task?

As if he had thought of something, Xu Zhiyan took out his cell phone and took a look. After confirming that the live broadcast of the area above the church had returned to normal, he took over the conversation with excitement.

"I plan to use these gifts to bribe the monsters in the safe house and see if I can connect with them and get the exclusive sales rights for new weapons. Unfortunately, I can only knit so much with this wool, and I don't know if it's enough."

He had already thought of his excuse.

"If everyone can buy the weapons and props developed by the safe house, then the price will definitely drop significantly when they are sold publicly. But if I can monopolize it, then -"

The voice stopped abruptly, as if he suddenly realized something and was unwilling to say more.

With a slightly annoyed expression on his face, Xu Zhiyan changed the subject: "Anyway, you can help teach them and get these two to pay more attention... If it works, there will be benefits."

He deliberately lowered his voice, he was hiding some information.

First, the name of the weapon was promoted during the live broadcast, and then a wave of hunger marketing was launched. Now the audience who heard it have a sense of crisis, thinking that someone is trying to monopolize the right to sell weapons.

After three rounds of hype, he felt that he would see large orders once the copy was released.

The knitted scarves can also make the monsters in the safe house happy and make everyone work harder. It would be even better if someone knew to give the monsters in the safe house some gifts when placing an order.

It’s a win-win situation!

Xu Zhiyan thought to himself.

Of course, except for the two unlucky guys who had to knit scarves.

In the live broadcast room, the audience's mood was like a roller coaster.

When everyone heard that the two people were going to knit scarves, they laughed. They didn't realize what these four hundred scarves represented, and they all sympathized with the two people.

[Four hundred scarves? Damn, can these two really finish this? Xiao Baiwan has a grudge against these two.]

[He will definitely weave as much as he can, after all, the initiative is in Xiao Baiwan's hands. If these two are lazy, he can just throw them out.]

【The living Bodhisattva turned into the living King of Hell in a second. 】

[Hahahahaha, so why is Xiao Baiwan looking for trouble? ]

And when everyone heard Xu Zhiyan's subsequent remarks, they could no longer sit still.

【？ ？ ？ ？ ？ 】

[Xu Baiwan, you are really thinking of bribing monsters to monopolize the business! ]

[…Damn, there really is no business without fraud! ]

[Ahhh, he actually wants to bribe the monster with just a scarf? Damn it, I'm going to go and find some shells in the safe house and take a look. ]

[What's upstairs, do you also want to monopolize it? 】

[It would be great if we could get some orders before Boss Xu monopolizes the market! ]

[Fuck, I won’t read it anymore! I’ll go ask if I can place an order first! ]

Xu Zhiyan didn't know that his actions had caused the inconspicuous safe house in the shell to receive many strange gifts and snowflake-like weapon orders.

He had other things to do now.

Jiang Huaique looked at his teammates who were about to leave after explaining everything, and was very puzzled.

"You want to go out?"

Since they didn't intend to confront the Utopia head-on, he felt that there was no need for his teammates to leave, and didn't they say that they had already sent the little devil statue out to hand out business cards?

Xu Zhiyan sighed deeply.

"The other players are fine, but there are two customers I have to pick up in person."

Now that they have a place to stay, they have to quickly catch Xu Xiaohua back, otherwise this poor kid might be so hungry that he might eat his clients.

Thinking of Tang Run and the other man who were famous for stealing, Xu Zhiyan's tone softened a lot.

He briefly talked about Xu Xiaohua being stolen.

"... That's about it. They must be very rich."

Jiang Huaique gasped when he heard this. Although he didn't know how strong Xu Xiaohua was, the amount of food she needed was really astonishing. For a moment, it was hard to tell whether Xu Xiaohua who was stolen was more pitiful, or the thief who stole Xu Xiaohua was more pitiful.

But then, he heard his teammates speak with great sorrow.

"I hope they can mend their ways and behave properly in the future, and stop thinking about stealing and cheating. Alas, I am forced to enforce justice on behalf of heaven."

Xu·Messenger of Justice·Zhiyan spoke with great righteousness, as if he was not doing this for the money but to make these two people mend their ways.

"Teacher Jiang, you don't have to follow me. Just stay here and help me teach them how to knit scarves!" After saying that, he pushed open the door and looked at the frosted leaves outside the town, muttering softly.

"I shouldn't be so unlucky as to meet Cen Jinyue..."

After checking the various equipment he had on him and making sure that everything from food and water to defensive and acceleration props were ready, Xu Zhiyan strode out.

Jiang Huaique rolled his eyes at Xu Zhiyan's back.

Considering that his arm was injured and he hadn't rested for a whole night, he would be a burden even if he went out. He didn't follow them. Instead, he turned around and walked up to the two people who were already playing with wool, and took on the responsible role of teacher and supervisor.

A few minutes later.

The church door was suddenly pushed open again.

Xu Zhiyan came back with a look of surprise on his face.

"Fuck, Jiang Jiang, did you leave any traps in the wild to hunt monsters yesterday?"

Jiang Huaique was confused by the question and shook his head in denial.

"No."

He did kill a monster, but there were many monsters on this island, and who knew what would happen next. Because he was in a hurry to reunite, he was very cautious and only brought back food.

Now it was Xu Zhiyan's turn to be confused.

"Huh? How is that possible? I looked at the task panel and our monster hunting points have been increasing since the beginning."

Southeast of the island.

"boom!"

There was a huge collision, which shook off the frost on the surrounding branches and leaves, and the animals fled in all directions.

The three-meter-tall black monster roared. Its voice was shrill and hoarse, but the meaning was very clear.

"Godmother! Food!"

Mu Feng, who was hiding on a tree trunk nearby, was stiff with a look of despair on her face, while Tang Run beside her had numb eyes.

After running around all night, the two of them were exhausted.

Not only do you have to keep looking for food, but you also have to watch out for monsters and hunt them.

During this period, Mu Feng had thought about asking Xu Xiaohua to kill the monster, but the little girl would run away screaming when she saw the monster, dropping her little pearls and crying out of breath.

How can you kill monsters like this?!

Later, the two of them couldn't afford to support this little monster anymore, so after failing to destroy the summoning box, they secretly threw it away...

In order to prevent the monster from causing trouble for himself and Xu Zhiyan, Mu Feng also deliberately erased the transaction traces on the box so that the thing would belong to its previous owner again. This was not difficult for a professional thief.

After doing all this, the two of them were reborn.

Although I lost several million, I am finally able to survive!

Who would have thought that only half an hour had passed and the two hungry people hadn't even found a hot meal when they saw Xu Xiaohua turned into a monster.

This monster seemed to have some tracking function and did not just rely on the box to determine the owner's location. No matter where Mu Feng and Tang Run ran, it could follow them.

And after the mutation, Xu Xiaohua's combat power is quite impressive.

It chased people, killed monsters and ate at the same time, achieving self-production and self-sales, but because there was not enough food, it would neither starve to death nor return to normal.

The ground around them began to tremble.

“Where’s the food!!”

I heard Xu Xiaohua's angry roar again.

Mu Feng shuddered and began to regret in his heart.

Just as she silently made the decision to retire, the monster's excited roar was heard behind her.

"Rice! Found it!"

A huge black monster appeared behind the tree.

At the same time, Xu Zhiyan and Jiang Huaique were looking at the soaring scores, at a loss.

Could it be a BUG?
