Chapter 37 Players' Hobbies
Hiluluk is a doctor whose dream is to develop a cure for all diseases in the world.
Because the research was very costly, and the king of the Drum Kingdom obviously wouldn't provide funding for such a project, Hiluluk had to find a part-time job after the last Beli was used up.
What profession offers both flexible working hours and high pay? The answer is—
"robbery?"
After hearing the robbery lines that he had painstakingly memorized, the fierce-looking man repeated his words with great interest.
"Robbery?"
Hiluluk's legs trembled slightly. He finally realized that although being a robber didn't involve a bad work environment or annoying bosses, it did involve encountering dangerous targets!
Tied up in a ball, Hiluluk said cautiously, "Actually, it's all a misunderstanding. Well, I had a little to drink before I went out today..."
Violet stopped checking Hiruluk's black hat and looked at him with disdain: "Tsk, it's alcohol's fault again."
“Ah, yes, that’s a common excuse for scum to absolve themselves.” Long nodded in agreement. “He’s not only a scumbag who would prey on little girls, but also a coward who dares to do it but doesn’t dare to admit it.”
"No way!" Hiruluk sat up abruptly. "I'm someone who works hard for my dreams."
Violet was shocked: "Is your dream to be a robber?"
“I’m a doctor, a doctor, my dream is to become a doctor…” Hiruluk blushed and started to argue, but then suddenly realized something was wrong, “I’m already a doctor.”
Vera: "Do you have a medical license?"
Hiluluk: "...No."
Vera: "Did you attend a medical school?"
Hiluluk: "What is that... no, nothing."
Vera: "Have you ever done hospital residency training?"
Hiluluk was bewildered; he began to lack confidence: "...Doctor, do we need to do all this?"
“Of course,” Vera said confidently. “Looking like this, you should be called a barefoot doctor.”
Hiluluk was so shocked that he turned pale: "Eh?!?!"
Violet: "No, he should be called a con artist."
Dragon: "Ah, it seems to have cracked."
The dark cloud above Hiruluk's head shattered upon impact.
Hiluluk: "Jiang, a conman..."
“It doesn’t matter what it is anymore.” Violet looked at Hiruluk expectantly. “Do you want us to let you go? Then pay the ransom.”
...No, wait a minute, isn't Violet's demand for ransom a little too practiced?
The world is going to the dogs and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be. Who exactly is leading these young children astray?
Oh, it's him. Then it's alright.
Long chimed in, "Since you're a doctor, let's use medical supplies as ransom. Well, at least give us something equal to your weight."
This is perfect for Ginny, who is recovering. Also, we should prepare some for younger Bonnie, as well as for Law and Vera, just in case.
Life is tough, and the revolutionary leader, who had learned to be frugal at a young age, sighed deeply.
Hiluluk himself is of normal to slightly thin build, but his height of over two meters means that his weight will not be light.
Hiluluk, thinking of his wallet so small that even a fly could slip inside, looked at the two with a glimmer of hope: "If... if you can't give that much..."
Can you make it cheaper?
Upon hearing Hiruluk's words, the dragon revealed a smile that would make any child burst into tears.
"Give as many organs as you can, and let them go," Long reassured him. "You're a doctor, you should know which organs would allow the patient to survive."
Hiluluk: "..."
Hiluluk's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
"Have you caught enough?"
"That's enough."
"Tie them up securely, so they don't escape on the way."
"Of course, it's tied very tightly, there's absolutely no way it can escape."
"Is this enough? After all, it's for single use only. Should we grab a little more to keep as a backup?"
"No, if you catch too many, you'll have to remember to feed them, otherwise they'll slowly die and turn into meat."
"That's true, after all, you don't like eating that kind of food."
Hiluluk: "..."
What did he hear? Could he possibly have heard that while he was still alive?!
Having just woken up from a coma, Hiruluk wished he could faint again, but perhaps because the conversation was too terrifying, Hiruluk felt incredibly clear-headed and couldn't possibly faint!
"Um?"
Just then, the terrifying man suddenly let out a questioning nasal sound, and Hiluluk froze, quickly closing his eyes and pretending to faint.
Dragon: "This guy isn't already dead, is he? Then let's just throw him into the sea to feed the fish..."
Hiluluk sat bolt upright: "No, I'm not dead yet!"
Hiluluk met two pairs of eyes that showed no surprise whatsoever.
Hiruluk: "Haha, haha..."
Hiluluk: "Um, is this your first time visiting the Drum Kingdom? Actually, my house is quite spacious."
"Would you like to sit for a while?"
——
Hiluluk looked on in despair at the little girl who was looking around his room. Her... accomplice, that dangerous man, was standing beside him, extinguishing any thought of his escape.
So isn't the situation even worse now? In order to save his life, he even exposed his address to these two guys!
No, Hiluluk, now is not the time to despair. Think of something quickly. You don't want to become food or bait, do you?
Violet saw the well-preserved pirate flag with cherry blossom petal patterns in the room: "Wow, you con artist, you're actually a pirate?"
"You have so many side jobs."
Unlike her, who had already exhausted all her efforts just to unlock two characters.
"Haha..." Hiruluk chuckled dryly as he crept closer to the Den Den Mushi on the table. "Yes, yes, it's out of necessity, it's out of necessity..."
Hiruluk secretly dialed a number with his hands behind his back, tapping the table lightly with his index finger to convey a secret signal.
【Dr. Kureha, help!】
Violet quickly toured Hiluluk's room. In the game, each map belonging to a faction cannot be demolished or rebuilt at will, and this house clearly belonged to Hiluluk's faction. Unless she defeated or subdued him, Violet could not touch anything in the room.
This is such a cruel thing for a player with a collecting obsession.
So let's just defeat him and see what loot he drops.
Hiluluk suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. His sixth sense was frantically sending out alarms, and his survival instincts made his brain work at an unprecedented speed.
Hiluluk: "Oh, well, why don't you guys go for a walk around here? There are lots of interesting sights and animals around here."
animal!
Violet looked at Hiruluk expectantly: "Are there cows?"
Cows are good friends of humans. When they are alive, they can serve as reliable poop-making machines and riding objects. When they die, they can provide a lot of meat and valuable cow hair or horns.
Violet was fed up with carrying two [warm stones] and having to start a fire to keep warm after only a few steps.
She needs warm winter clothes, but only if she has enough cow hair.
Hiluluk: "...There are no cows, but there are reindeer. Um, would you like to see them?"
A cow is a herd animal with horns, hair, meat, and can be ridden.
Reindeer = gregarious, have antlers, have fur, have meat, and can be ridden.
So how can reindeer not be considered a type of cattle?!
Violet, hiding behind a tree, looked at the tall, beautiful reindeer in the snow and exclaimed, "I want it!"
Why can't a reindeer be a mount? Of course a reindeer can be a mount! Even a certain old man in red clothes and a white beard did it!
laugh!
The reindeer leader, which was being targeted by Violet, had a pair of large and beautiful antlers. It raised its head from the snow in confusion and snorted.
I sniffed carefully, but couldn't detect the pungent smell of Labang.
However, an unpleasant smell is approaching.
A young reindeer, not even as tall as an adult reindeer's belly, timidly emerged from behind a dry branch. Its fur was short and light, and its body was exceptionally thin.
It cautiously followed at the back of the reindeer herd, sniffing the bushes that the reindeer had already grazed, and carefully picked off a few leaves that hadn't been eaten yet, chewing them with relish.
So hungry...
After eating their fill, the reindeer herd rested in an open space at the signal of their leader. To ward off the cold wind, the adult reindeer huddled together for warmth, protecting the young reindeer whose fur had not yet fully grown in the center.
It's so cold...
The little reindeer that was following at the back cautiously walked forward and approached a reindeer that was grooming its companion with gentle and relaxed movements, trying to find a place to rest.
The adult reindeer, sensing the baby reindeer approaching, watched it warily. Just as the baby reindeer cowered and tried to lie down beside it, the adult reindeer suddenly stood up and rammed it with its antlers.
"ah!"
The baby reindeer was headbutted and sent flying. With a crisp sound of bones cracking, its thin body bounced twice on the snow before lying still.
Vera stared in shock, her eyes wide: "Why?"
When she was initially looking for a suitable island to build her home, Violet encountered a herd of buffalo. The buffalo, which were nursing their calves, were extremely ferocious and would attack any creature that tried to approach them.
Protecting offspring should be an indisputable instinct written into the genes of living organisms.
The dragon was silent for two seconds, looking at Hiruluk's hurried figure with a complicated expression: "It's because it was abandoned by the reindeer herd, right?"
"That reindeer had a blue nose, unlike any other reindeer."
To exclude it because of a slight difference, and then to treat it with utter cruelty, ignoring its weakness or even death.
Just like how nobles would not hesitate to squeeze the last bit of food from parents who were raising their children.
The nobles, holding expensive champagne, lavishly spent money at the banquet, their leather shoes and beautiful high heels treading on mountains of gold and silver piled up from the blood and bones of countless commoners, boasting about how luxurious and extravagant everything around them was.
Reindeer need a different blue nose to resist rejection, while humans create all sorts of "blue noses" when needed.
Violet: "Dragon's observation is so sharp."
She didn't notice that at all. But, different from others?
What players love most is being different.
