It was an extremely hot noon, there was not a cloud in the sky, and the scorching sun was burning the earth.
Shen Qi removed the sticky mud from the sun and washed her face.
This is not a long-term solution. Not only is it uncomfortable, but it also clogs the pores and is bad for the skin.
"The mall function is enabled. The host can use points to redeem the items they need. The mall items will be refreshed from time to time."
Chen Qi opened the shopping mall page. There were only a few items: a sharp knife, a lighter, paper towels, mouthwash, toothbrush and toothpaste, concealer...
Shen Qi's gaze was fixed on the concealer.
"Xiaoyu, are all missions triggered randomly?"
"Yes, host. Triggered randomly, or based on present events."
Shen Qi understood. She had just stood up after washing her face when a slight sound came from the weeds next to her. She reached her hand to her waist and touched a hard object.
"Mission: Capture five white rabbits. Reward: 100 points."
As soon as Shen Qi heard the sound of the mission, a white rabbit bigger than her two palms jumped out from the grass.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at the rabbit that suddenly appeared.
The rabbit instantly felt the danger looming over it, and wanted to run away with its short legs.
She thrust the knife in her hand towards her neck, and the rabbit was killed before she could escape.
"The mission is 20% complete, four more to go. Please keep working hard, host."
"50 meters ahead, there's a rabbit hiding."
Following the system's positioning, Shen Qi quickly went over and indeed saw a rabbit hiding in the grass and chewing on it.
The rabbit had not sensed the danger approaching quietly and continued to bite the grass in its hand with its two rabbit teeth.
Shen Qi didn't even look at it and stabbed it with a dagger, killing it instantly.
"The mission is 40% complete, only three more to go. Please keep working hard, host."
The remaining three Shen Qi continued to follow the system's positioning and quickly completed the task, receiving the first commission in this world.
"The mission has been completed, 100 gold coins have been issued, the host can exchange them for items worth enough gold coins in the mall."
Shen Qi immediately found what she needed - concealing cream.
I used 20 points to pay the full amount, and instantly had a small thing the size of a vanishing cream in my hand. When I opened it, I saw a black cream inside.
Shen Qi wiped it with her hands and applied it on her face. It did not feel as thick and foreign as she had imagined. Instead, it had a cool feeling. After applying it, it felt like it had merged with her face.
She washed it with clean water, but found that it couldn't be washed off.
"Xiaoyu, what do you use to wash off the concealer?"
"The concealing cream cannot be washed off with water. It will lose its effect after three days of application. The host can apply it in advance."
"I see."
Shen Qi looked at the five rabbits lying on the ground, their feet tied together with a strong vine.
Carrying five rabbits back, Shen Qi plucked the rabbit hair and prepared to roast them.
After cleaning the rabbit, he made a simple grill. Just as he put the rabbit in, Bai Yuwei came over dragging several huge beasts.
Bai Yuwei smelled the blood and saw the rabbit in her hand, "You went out again?"
"No, these rabbits were found in the grass by the river."
Seeing the confusion in his eyes, she continued, "These rabbits are hidden in the grass and are usually not easy to find."
"That's good, but don't go out. You might encounter evil beasts out there. It would be disastrous if they discovered you."
"Evil beast?"
"Evil beasts are orcs hated by all orcs. No, they don't deserve to be called orcs. All orcs despise them. They will force females to satisfy their desires, completely disregarding their feelings!"
"All females are afraid of them, and male beasts that have females won't let them out, for fear that they might be encountered and harmed by evil beasts."
"Also, the demonic beasts are very powerful. Many orcs are no match for them. Encountering a demonic beast is very troublesome."
"Here we are, there's a place where evil beasts gather, called the Dark Forest. I heard that a while ago, an even more powerful evil beast arrived and defeated the original evil beast king, turning him into its own subordinate. It was already difficult to deal with, but now it seems that the evil beasts are even more troublesome."
"I'm only at level four now." Bai Yuwei sighed, "Qiqi, don't think my level is low. I will upgrade as soon as possible!"
Shen Qi had long noticed the animal patterns on his arms. There were four of them, which seemed to represent the level.
"How did you improve your abilities? Just hunting?"
"Hunting only accounts for a small part. The greater part is killing magical beasts. Eating their beast cores will increase your abilities. The higher the level of the magical beast, the greater the enhanced ability. Of course, it is also more difficult to deal with."
"Are demon beasts also beasts without intelligence? They just have a higher-level beast core?"
"Yes, there were no magical beasts before, but at some point, some orcs discovered their beast cores, and eating them can increase one's strength."
"Can females also become stronger after eating the beast core?"
"Females who can transform can be enhanced, but those who can't can't. Very few females can transform."
Her abilities here were at most a bit stronger than the females, and a bit more agile. Compared to the orcs that could transform, she could currently handle the lower-level ones, but what about the higher-level ones...
Moreover, she also discovered that each orc had different abilities. For example, Bai Yuwei turned into a tiger and ran faster than other orcs in their animal form. The eagle tribe also had its own advantages. They could fly and had already defeated some orcs.
Shen Qi clenched her fists. Perhaps her skills were nothing compared to those of a high-level beastman, so she needed to train even harder...
If you encounter a high-level orc, with some usable items from the mall, even if you can't defeat it, you may be able to hold it off.
"Qiqi, don't worry, I will protect you!" Seeing her tense body, Bai Yuwei comforted her.
"Yeah, me too." He was the first orc she met in this world, and also the first one to accept her. He took her in, and she tried her best to help him. Although he was a little bit unruly, he was still quite cute sometimes.
"Qiqi, you are so nice!" Before Shen Qi could react, Bai Yuwei couldn't help but hug her and buried his face in the crook of her neck. He smelled a sweet fragrance that filled his nose.
The warm breath sprinkled on the neck, feeling a little itchy, Shen Qi's eyelashes trembled slightly, "Give me your hand!"
"I know, I know." Bai Yuwei let go of his hand and looked at the roasted rabbit beside him, which was already a little burnt.
He turned it over and continued grilling. Seeing the barbecue ingredients on the side, he followed her previous method, sprinkled some on it, and turned it over again.
Shen Qi raised an eyebrow, "You have learned it quite well."
"Hehe, it's all thanks to Qiqi's good teaching." Bai Yuwei smiled happily when he heard her praise.
