Chapter 23 Second Update + Extra Update: Players invented Gui Juice! ...

Through some special means, the people of Rikkai finally managed to take the restless Jibaimao away from Qingxue.

It was only one day, but it felt like a year.

Sitting on the tram back to school, I stared at the cat stuck in the middle, looking dazed.

Everyone looked at each other slowly, and they all felt that the other person looked a little old.

Rikkai people: "...Alas."

Whatever, let's end today quickly!!

【bite--!

[Planting Lev.2——Lev.3 up! ]

[Obtained formula: 'Beehive', 'Growth Hormone']

[Fishing Level 5-6 up!]

[Obtained recipe: "Spinner Bait", "Trap Float"]

Tennis Level 6-7 up!

[New event: 'Rikkai University Junior and Senior High School Joint BBQ Miso Competition' is about to begin!]

【Save successfully! 】

At six o'clock in the morning, the players' fulfilling and busy day began.

First, check your daily horoscope and weather at Rikkai University's student dormitory before heading out!

Schedule one!

The player goes to the chicken coop and pets each chicken from No. 1 to No. N one by one, and takes out the eggs and puts them into the backpack.

Schedule two!

He double-jumped and rolled forward, flipping over Rikkai University's trash can while skipping to the back mountain to water the plants, cut the grass, and fill the silo.

The back mountain is covered with arable land, and the player has expanded the fields to three hundred blocks!

And the ripe potatoes were all sold to their respective destinations and were successfully sold to the student cafeterias of Rikkai University and Seigaku!

Rikkai University: "...Alas."

Qingxue: "...?"

So what... do they want it too?

After the third batch of potatoes were watered half by automatic sprinklers and half by hand, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

Schedule three!

The player ran towards the teleportation anchor point with a happy and unconcerned pace.

Qingxue,

A full week had passed since the impromptu training match with Rikkai University. During this week, the members of the Seigaku Tennis Club had been in deep reflection.

We lost. We lost to that Rikkai University team in all aspects.

Although they didn't use their full strength, they still lost...

I should have been immersed in this shock,

But now…

Why is this kid from Rikkai University here?!

Everyone in Qingxue looked at Mushroom Head in confusion as he rode a pixel chicken and jumped around in the tennis club.

The other party was quite unfazed as he rummaged through the tennis bags and various storage boxes one by one, as if he was in an empty space, and took away all the food as quickly as a locust passing through a border.

Everyone in Qingxue: "..."

Um, everyone from Rikkai University, did you forget to take anything away?

Arai was about to step forward to argue, but Yagi Kei gave him a deadly look, and immediately some not-so-pleasant memories came to his mind.

He laughed, scratched his head, and said calmly, "Oh, why did I turn automatically? I'm so sorry, I'll go first," and ran away.

Deputy Minister Oishi, who is used to arriving early, said: "..."

He accepted his fate and took on the diplomatic task under the trembling gazes of the other members, stepping forward with gritted teeth.

"Um... Yagi-kun from Rikkai University, if I'm not mistaken... this should be Seigaku..."

"If possible, please return those things... They are very important to everyone, they are so..."

Player: What are you mumbling about? A.

Suddenly, the expressions of everyone in Qingxue became panic-stricken.

Everyone watched with their mouths wide open as Mushroom Head, wearing a garbage hat, carried a pixel chicken and climbed onto Oishi Shuichiro's head!

A very arrogant cat urged the humanoid mount to move faster with an expressionless face.

Everyone in Qingxue: "..."

Bearing the unbearable weight of life, the dream mount, Oishi Hideichiro: "..."

"You, you, you—! Let go of Vice Minister Oishi!!"

"Help! Vice Minister Oishi has lost consciousness! Someone come and save him quickly!!"

"God damn it, is there any law left?! I'm going to call the police and have you arrested!!"

While Seigaku was in chaos, Rikkai University enjoyed a long-unseen peace.

A gentle breeze caressed the cheeks of most of the Rikkai members, each one sporting a relaxed, bright, and free smile. They chased each other, laughing and playing, as if they were playing among the flowers that covered the mountains...

"Haha, it's so peaceful. I feel like it's a little too peaceful, and I'm not used to it... Is this kind of wonderful life where you only have to run fifty laps and swing your racket a thousand times really something people like us can live?"

"Yeah, yeah, so… why is it so quiet?"

“…”

“………”

"Does it seem like someone is missing?"

"...Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment: "—Oh no!!!"

Rikkai University is once again caught up in the search for someone.

At the same time, the young students were asking for help everywhere.

On Kikumaru A, he was attracted by the tennis ball thrown by the player and ran away!

Seigaku: Damn it, Kikumaru, are you a cat!?!

Takashi Kawamura walked over, and Takashi Kawamura walked back.

Kawamura Takashi scratched his cheek: "Um... I'm really sorry, I can't do anything like bullying a child."

Qingxue: "..."

No...who is bullying whom now?!

It's decided to be you! No two!

Fuji Shusuke stepped forward with a smile and narrowed his eyes.

Everyone in Qingxue craned their necks in anticipation, waiting eagerly.

The player turned around and looked into the eyes of a strange NPC with an enigmatic smile on his face.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Fuji Shusuke: "Haha~ So that's how it is."

Fuji Shusuke: "That seems very interesting, so let's just pretend we didn't see it for now."

Qingxue: "..."

Qingxue: “…”

Bu Er (Er Kang's hand) Come back soon! What on earth did you know!?!

As we all know, cats are very despicable creatures.

Pick on the good guys and the dumb ones to bully,

So, no one in Qingxue can punish him, no one.

Until Tezuka and Kan appeared at the entrance of the tennis club.

"——Here comes Minister Tezuka!!"

"Minister Tezuka is here! We're saved!!"

"Mmmmm, Minister Tezuka, please come and save Vice Minister Oishi!!"

As soon as Tezuka showed up, the members of the Youth Club, who were almost forced to continue for a second, almost rushed over, each with tears in their eyes and talking in a loud voice.

Tezuka crossed his arms and pushed up his glasses, looking at the chaotic tennis club, at Oishi whose soul had left his body, at Fuji with a mysterious smile, and at Kawamura Takashi who was scratching his head a little embarrassedly.

"Everyone in the tennis club should return to their positions now."

"Not everyone in the tennis club gave me—"

Tezuka couldn't finish his words because the players came.

Looking at the dead fish-eyed mushroom head standing side by side with Minister Tezuka.

The Qingxue people finally took a moment to recall the fear they felt that day when they were dominated by the "trash can"...

"It's bad, it's bad!! Please save Minister Tezuka!!"

"Contact Rikkai University! Quickly have them come pick us up!!"

“SOS——!!”

"Minister Tezuka—!!"

Through the coach, he contacted Yukimura, and then through Yukimura, he contacted the Rikkai University Tennis Club.

After several rounds of communication, when the people from Rikkai University rushed over,

All the members of the Qingxue Tennis Club are half dead.

Rikkai said nothing and just kept catching cats everywhere.

Qingxue is silent, just living a slightly dead life.

Seeing that Rikkai University captured Mushroom Head who was riding a pixel chicken, I finally thought that the farce would end here and I could live a happy and simple life from then on.

The next day, it showed up.

On the third day, it appeared again.

On the fourth day, it appeared again.

Qingxue: Q! !

Not only Seigaku, but Rikkai University has almost gotten used to the daily cat-catching routine.

Even Rikkai University added contact information with Seigaku so that they could catch Mushroom Head as soon as possible.

The relationship between the two schools has made great progress as a result, which is really cause for celebration... cause for celebration.

At the beginning, the members of the Qingxue Tennis Club would scream when they opened the club and found Yagi Kei, but they gradually got used to it, turned a blind eye to him, and finally ignored him. It only took a week.

There are even characters who are very familiar with others, such as Takeshi Momoshiro.

While stuffing his golf bag, he casually said hello, "Good morning, Yagi. Are you here to play today? How's your harvest?"

In response to this, the short and timid Mushroom Head, who was rummaging through the tennis bag, stuffed a small piece of trash into the bag without even looking up and sent him away.

Taocheng Wu was quite flattered by this, and even ostentatiously took the small piece of trash given to him by the players, a daffodil, and showed it off to others.

"Haha, this is what Yagi gave me! You don't have it, do you?!"

Others: “…”

The nature of NPCs is to compete with each other. After the incident of Taocheng Wu showing off, there are always NPCs who can't help but run around the players and hang around.

The only way to drive it away is to send out a little trash, otherwise it will keep following you like a tail.

For a while, players relied on picking up garbage every day to make a living.

There are too many NPCs to support, and the garbage I pick up can't keep up with the consumption.

And Qingxue also secretly set up a so-called 'Who Received the Most Interesting Gift' competition!

The current winner is Fuji Shusuke, who became rich overnight by obtaining a ruby ​​from Kei Yagi!

Others: (biting the handkerchief) Damn it!!

Of course, during this period, players did not gain nothing in the Qingxue map.

For example - dry juice!

Of course, the process is completely random. After the player sends a small piece of garbage to the NPC and prompts [Gan Zhenzhi's favorability +5],

The task popped up!

【Emergency Task·Dry Juice Improvement】

[Inui Sadaharu has been having some troubles lately. Please understand his troubles and help him solve them in a friendly way!]

[Reward: Dry Juice Recipe × 1, 3498 yen, Unlocks Hidden Achievement × 1]

Player: !!

Another hidden achievement!

And there is also a 'dry juice formula', which players are eager to try.

The player finally found the NPC [Inui Sadaharu] in the crowd by using the navigation.

During this time, everyone in Qingxue couldn't help but watch with concern.

After all, suddenly Yagi Kei stopped rummaging through boxes and riding his twisted and weird pixel chicken, and started walking on two legs like a human being and not making trouble everywhere. Everyone in Qingxue School was a little uncomfortable watching this.

His gaze fell on Yagi Kei, then swayed to Kan who was scribbling on the notebook across from him.

"Is he going to do something again?"

"I don't know... Let's see first. If it doesn't work... just call Rikkai University!"

"You're right!"

“…”

"But it's really hard to get used to this guy suddenly looking like a human!!"

The whispers of others did not escape Gan Zhenzhi's ears. Gan pushed his glasses and looked down at the mushroom head in front of him.

Personification?

He paused, making sure that Yagi Kei was just staring at him and had no intention of speaking. "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

The anthropomorphic player glanced at the task panel and read with dead eyes: "Are you troubled?"

Gan Zhenzhi: "..."

Others: “……?”

"Speak, speak human language?!"

"This kid can actually speak human language?!!"

"It's over, it's over! Is the universe going to explode tomorrow? Wow, I haven't finished looking at my little Mai's photoshoot yet!"

Ignore the panicked cries of others, and remain calm.

"Troubled? Of course I am. What do you want to know?"

He pushed up his glasses. "Is it the trouble on the left, the trouble on the right, or the trouble in the middle?"

Kikumaru Eiji, who was also watching with some interest, said: "Hey, Oishi, why do you feel like an NPC all of a sudden?"

Dashi said slowly: "At this level, it should be more than just an NPC... more like a river god."

Kikumaru: "River God?"

Taocheng interrupted, "I feel the same way as Daishi-senpai! It's one of those awful river gods who would just give you three if you picked any one!"

The River God Gan, who had been criticized terribly for simply saying this according to his intuition, said: "..."

Yagi Kei seems to be staring at the air in a daze, but in fact there are three glowing options in front of the player!

Multiple choice questions? Interesting.

Players All in!

Yagi Kei: “Oh.”

Yagi Kei: "Then this one."

Gan: “Are you sure it’s this?”

Gan: "If that's the case, then there's nothing we can do."

Gan: "Congratulations, you made the right choice."

Kikumaru Eiji looked left at Gan, right at Yagi Kei, and was silent for a moment: "Oishi, do you know what they are talking about?"

Oishi: “No…I don’t know.”

These two people are just talking to the air? ! !

Fuji Shusuke supported his chin: "Haha, so that's how it is, how interesting~"

The people around looked at the suddenly refreshed Bu Er as if they had seen a ghost and said strange things seriously.

Taocheng hesitated: "Um, Fuji-senpai, do you know what they are talking about?"

Fuji: "Yeah, I guess I guess he and I get along very well."

Fuji: "What a warm-hearted child."

Kikumaru: "??"

Dashi: "..."

Taocheng: "...?"

Kikumaru gathered together and muttered to them: "I think Fuji has become more and more abnormal since that little guy appeared!"

Echizen Ryoma coolly passed by and said, "Is Fuji-senpai ever normal?"

Everyone: “…”

Having said that, however…

Gan took out a cup of emerald green juice with a faint fluorescent glow from behind him!

Everyone: “!!!”

Everyone: "Q皿Q That, that is the legendary——"

Kikumaru Eiji stepped forward and said, "No, that, A-gan, even though this little guy from Rikkai University is a little bit... he's not guilty of anything but the death penalty!!"

Taocheng, the mother hen protecting her chicks, nodded and spoke rapidly, "Yes, yes, senior, if we want to dry the juice, then for now..."

Gan: "But this is my recent trouble,"

Gan: "I encountered many difficulties in selecting the materials for the second-generation dry juice. How should I add and process it to maximize its efficacy..."

"%￥#@*（&!—）￥……trouble,"

Not listening to the front or the back, and only catching the "trouble" in the middle, the player "slapped" the fluorescent green liquid in his hand.

Oishi's pupils trembled: "Hey! Yagi, this is not a joke - dry juice is not something you think you can deal with easily, you still..."

The NPC was talking in a lot of nonsense, so the player clicked on the details to view them.

[Dry Juice 2nd Generation (Under Improvement): The creator believes this drink is good for your health and tastes great!]

[After consumption, physical strength +100, health -39]

Just one cup can fill up your stamina bar!

And it can even deduct blood, so terrifying!

Seeing that Yagi Kei seemed to be lost in thought while holding the dried juice, Oishi tried to calm him down while signaling Kikumaru with his eyes to quickly grab the dried juice.

Just kidding, if something happens to Yagi after he drinks the dry juice, they won't be able to explain it to Rikkai University! !

Kikumaru fully utilized his sensitive and flexible instincts, tiptoed closer, and was about to reach out and take it——

The player suddenly moved, and despite the chorus of "no"s and panicked gazes, he threw the cup into his mouth.

Qingxue: "..."

Qingxue: "...The cup, the cup was eaten too?!!"

Now, even if it was originally fine, it will definitely become a problem!!

Dashi was frightened and carefully used his fingers to pry open Mushroom Head's mouth to check the condition. The inner wall of the mouth was not injured and there were no wounds in the mouth.

It was as if the cup and the juice entered some other dimension as soon as they entered my mouth... and disappeared without a trace.

He was at a loss for words, his heart hanging in the air, not knowing what to do, and waited blankly for Yagi Kei's reaction.

He waited for a while.

The others also waited for a while.

——No response?!

Echizen Ryoma also came over curiously and glanced up and down, "You even conquered the dry juice?"

The player remained silent and slowly took out the green onion to fill up his health bar.

Only 39 health points were lost, no high voltage line was touched...

Otherwise, the NPC will have to witness the player spurting blood with an expressionless face.

Gan looked at the disappearing dry juice and pushed up his glasses. "Now that you've tasted this improved version of dry juice, what other active ingredients do you think should be added to it?"

A: Potato

"B: Purple Mushroom"

“C: Sea Cucumber”

Others: “…”

Kikumaru: "Oishi, damn, it seems like he really has become an NPC."

Oishi: “Ah…Ah.”

Taocheng slowly imagined the things that Gan had given as examples, and for a moment he didn't know whether to say it was normal or abnormal.

At least compared to previously known insects, turtles, etc.... they can barely be considered edible food.

If you mix them together and make juice...

Everyone shuddered in unison.

Gan: "Then make your choice."

The player stared at the selection panel. "Obtuse angle."

Others: “…”

Others: “…”

“Obtuse angle?!!!”

"No, what is this?! Is there such an option?!"

"What the hell are they talking about?! Is this even human communication?!"

Gan smiled, though only with the corners of his mouth curved upwards in a devilish way. "A hidden option has actually been discovered? In that case, I understand."

Everyone watched as Inui Sadaharu said, "I see," "This might be a new combination."

Then throw everything into the juicer... with a 'hum' sound, the second generation of dry juice is freshly baked!

Compared to the dark green fluorescent liquid that was just taken out, this cup of freshly made dry juice... is dark purple, and even spews out an indescribable terrifying aura.

For a moment, everyone retreated in panic.

The ones left there were Gan holding the dried juice, the expressionless Yagi Kei, the smiling Fuji and the cold-faced Tezuka.

He poured the dried fruits into the small cups one by one and pushed them forward. "Thanks to Yagi for giving me the inspiration to solve these troubles. As a thank you, let's all try the freshly made second generation dried juice."

Kikumaru said slowly: "Fuck, do you want to assassinate us?"

Gan Zhenzhi was surprised: "How could it be, this is something good for the body, Kikumaru."

Oishi: "But, this, that... I always feel that the second generation dry juice seems a little..."

Inui Sadaharu: "Ah, I see. Everyone is afraid of any adverse reactions."

He shook his head. "According to statistical calculations, the probability of toxicity is 0.9%. It is very healthy, organic, and safe."

God damn it’s healthy, organic and safe!!

Gan: "If you are really worried, then..."

Player A comes up and takes a cup.

Everyone in Qingxue just watched him drink it, his dead eyes calm.

Gan, Fuji, and even Tezuka gave him an extra look.

After waiting for a while, there was still no reaction from Yagi Kei, so Fuji reached out his hand and said, "I'm still curious about the taste of the improved second-generation dry juice~"

He held the small paper cup and drank it.

After waiting for a while, Tezuka, who was urged by Gan, followed closely and also pinched a small paper cup to drink.

The people watching from afar noticed that neither Fuji nor Tezuka had any other reaction, and looked at each other in doubt.

"Could it be... that two negatives equal a positive?"

"Who knows? What if it really is effective..."

"...then give it a try?"

“Just give it a try!”

Unable to suppress their curiosity, the large group of Qingxue followed, and each of them took the small paper cup from in front of Gan.

Done!

"Bang!"

“…Dongdong!”

“Bang, bang, bang!!”

In unison and one after another, a bunch of people fell to the ground.

Echizen Ryoma struggled to write on the ground with his fingertips, dipping it into the unknown liquid in the cup. 'The murderer is...'

Before he finished writing the word "Gaba", he fainted.

He pushed his glasses up, seeming a little surprised: "Oh my, is this the effect?"

He looked at Tezuka and Fuji, who had not responded just now, and was surprised to find that they had both lost consciousness.

After a moment of silence, he looked silently at Yagi Kei who stood firm to the end.

The player is looking at the health and stamina bars that are constantly rising and falling, dancing back and forth like a DJ.

[Dry Juice 2nd Generation: Whether it's a non-toxic or toxic drink, it doesn't matter, it tastes amazing!]

[After consumption, physical strength +60, life +60 (special for players)]

Gan: "It seems this is of no use to you. In that case, we should start developing the third generation of Gan Juice."

Gan: "Anyway, thank you for your cooperation and help. We got some good data."

Gan: "As a reward, these are for you. I'll have to work hard for you next time."

[Get dry juice recipe x 1]

【Get 3498 yen】

[Obtained the hidden achievement - 'My knife is covered with juice!']

[Gain the right to freely name a recipe by achieving the achievement illustration collection degree]

【Congratulations on creating the new recipe 'Gui Juice'! 】

It is a story for another time how confused Ryuzaki Sumire was when she returned to the tennis club and saw the young students, big and small, lying on the ground as if they had been bombarded.

Now, the player returns to Rikkai University.

The player sprinted all the way and double-jumped, even spending two JJ Cokes to forcefully open the door to the tennis club.

Most of the Rikkai members, who were used to it, quietly picked up the fallen gate.

"I'm back..."

“…Good times are always short-lived… woooo…”

The bright, relaxed and free smile disappeared from the faces of most of the Rikkai members, replaced by a pale and weak smile, as if the end of life was within sight.

They watched the younger generations running around everywhere and came, and watched the younger generations running around everywhere and went.

The reason is simple, because the player has received a new task!

[Emergency Mission: Spread of Gui Juice]

Let more people immerse themselves in the art of Gui Juice! Successfully invited 100 people to taste Gui Juice (0/100)

"Ah! Kei is back!" It was as if there was an antenna installed on Kirihara Akaya's head, and he recognized Kei Yagi's presence almost instantly.

Marui Bunta chewed his bubble gum and turned around when he heard this. "Huh? You didn't even ask us to pick you up this time. Are you being more obedient this time, Kei?"

Jack Sangyuan sighed: "To think that one day I could hear 'Anfen' and Yagi linked together... The sun is about to rise from the west..."

The player took out a stack of paper cups snatched from the Dry Juice NPC and threw them in front of the NPC one by one.

"Eh, is this for me?"

"Even I'm involved?"

"Is the sun really going to rise from the west?"

Kirihara Akari was also the first to protect his junior. He said harshly, "Don't misinterpret Kei's kindness! Just hold on to it!"

Others cheered: "Hey hey~ I know, I know, Akaye Mama-san~"

Everyone joked, and the player looked at the Kelp Head NPC and fell silent.

He threw a ball of seaweed into the cup of the kelp-headed NPC.

Kirihara Akaya: "..."

Kirihara Akaya: “…QAQ!!”

"Hahaha, so pitiful~"

"It seems that in Yagi's heart, you are completely linked to seaweed."

While joking, everyone picked up the cup and poured it into their mouths without even looking, saying: "Don't be too depressed, Akaye, anyway, let's first taste Yagi's good... intentions..."

"Bang!"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

“Bang, bang, bang—!!”

Kirihara Akaya was hesitating whether to take out the seaweed first or just close his eyes and drink it, staring blankly at the tennis club members who had collapsed on the ground.

Kirihara Akaya: “……?”

He was confused: "No, everyone...what's wrong with everyone?"

The player said he didn't know and ran away jumping up and down in a mess.

Kirihara Akaya, who was left standing there confused, pushed everyone one by one: "——Wake up! You can't take a nap here!!"
