Chapter 36 Peaceful Daily Life: Bunny, is it time for dinner?
Just as Ister finished sending everyone away, he received a notification from the system. Could this be considered a godsend? He had just spent a large sum of magic crystals, and this good fortune immediately came his way.
After communicating with the system in my mind, the system issued the task.
[Ding! Dungeon quest activated]
Mission objective: Ten brave little fire-man warriors have discovered a "small abyss" very close to the country. The "small abyss" is a special space containing thousands of monsters. After defeating the monsters, they can obtain the minerals found in the "small abyss".
Task completion criteria: Defeat and eliminate the monsters in the "Small Abyss" to obtain the minerals found there.
Mission completion reward: Points are calculated based on the number of monsters eliminated each time. If all monsters are eliminated within ten days, the point reward will increase by 10% to 20%.
Ding! The area next to "Small Abyss" has been temporarily designated as a teleportation point. This teleportation during dungeon quests will not count as a teleportation slot and has no upper limit.
Fellow little fire warriors, fight bravely for our King!
Players scattered across various locations, hunting monsters, were excited. Although it was all about killing monsters, the addition of the dungeon name gave them even more motivation, and they all teleported to the location of the "Little Abyss".
Arip looked at what was happening in front of him in surprise, closed his eyes and quietly sensed it. It was a very strange ability. It seemed that Mr. Rabbit already knew what was happening here. A faint smile appeared on his face. Because the person he was thinking of had set up a magic circle around the "small abyss" to prevent the monsters inside from escaping. Since Mr. Rabbit wanted to train his summoned creatures, how could he hold him back?
Aripor had finished his rounds and was heading excitedly towards the royal city, thinking he could use this to get some benefits from Mr. Rabbit. He wasn't the kind of person who did good deeds without expecting anything in return.
As soon as Easter returned to his room, he bumped into Arip, who had climbed in from the balcony. Before Easter could react, he heard Arip say, "Mr. Rabbit, I've done you a huge favor. You should think about how you're going to thank me."
East had heard about what Arip had done beforehand from the system, so he wasn't particularly surprised to hear what Arip said, but he didn't expect him to bring it up in this way.
"Bunny, you wouldn't be so cruel to me, would you?" Aribo blinked and said in an extremely affected tone. He couldn't help but shudder as soon as he finished speaking, feeling embarrassed and disgusted by himself.
Easter leaned closer to Areper and said, "Thank you." He then placed a soft, gentle kiss on Areper's lips.
Aripor gazed at Esther, who was giving him a kiss with her eyes closed. The close proximity allowed him to notice Esther's slightly trembling eyelashes. Suddenly, he understood why so many warriors would risk their lives for the ones they loved—because it was so beautiful, beautiful enough to heal all pain.
Arip closed his eyes, inserted his fingers into East's hair, and held the back of his head, deepening the kiss.
The pink roses on the balcony, after the autumn rain, were withered, with only two or three blossoms remaining, trembling precariously in the rustling cold wind. "Plop," the wind from closing the door caused the swaying flowers to fall to the ground.
As Easter lay down on the bed, the words Cai Cai had said at noon suddenly popped into his mind, and all his beautiful thoughts vanished. He stopped Aribo from taking off his clothes and said, "It's almost time for dinner."
Arip chuckled and lightly touched East's lower abdomen. "Rabbit, is it time for dinner?" he asked meaningfully, his long, flowing golden-red curls falling down, creating an atmosphere of ambiguity.
Easton found the mischievous strands of hair a little annoying, making his head feel all messy.
[Just admit you lack self-control, why blame your hair? — From the resentful system of a simulated being kicked out of a room and a virtual being sent to a dark room.]
Besides Aripor in front of him, Easter had no other thoughts to spare for anyone or anything else.
Arip's deep, mysterious blue eyes rippled like waves on the sea, creating beautiful waves. His beautiful hair was loose and flowing. At this moment, he was like a stranded mermaid, possessing a strange and captivating magic that lured people closer and led them step by step into the deep sea with him.
Easter leaned down and kissed Arip's lips, gently prying open his teeth and playing with his other tongue.
Arip, stroking the back of East's neck, was worn down by East's tepid movements and couldn't help but increase the pressure on his hand.
“Just last night…” East said slowly.
"Baby, do you have no idea how capable I am?"
Easter gave Aribo a soothing peck on the lips, applying a little more pressure.
...
"Drip, drip," the rain started again, the raindrops tapping on the windowpane, making a soothing sound.
Easter struggled to get out of bed, but Ariber pulled him back into his arms. "What are you going to do?" he asked, his voice muffled and a little hoarse.
Easter, "You haven't had dinner yet tonight."
“I’m not hungry,” Arip said. “Bunny, are you hungry?”
"I'm not hungry." Easter didn't feel much hunger, but he was thinking about Arepo.
“Then let’s not bother anymore, we’ll talk about it tomorrow,” Aripel hugged Easter tighter. “I won’t bother you next time.” Aripel felt a little guilty. How could Mr. Rabbit compare to him, who was thick-skinned and not afraid of hunger? He should be more careful in the future, unless it was a serious matter.
East responded with two "hmm" sounds, then closed his eyes and fell asleep. Although there wasn't much strenuous physical activity today, sitting there scheming against people was no better than physical exercise.
Aripelago kissed East on the forehead, and through the darkness, quietly looked at the face of the person in his arms, muttered a low curse, hugged him tighter.
Arip admitted that what he did regarding Mr. Rabbit was somewhat inhuman, just like the things those nobles he despised would do—old men deceiving young people, talking about true love while only coveting their young and beautiful bodies. He could say he fled in disgrace this morning, but with a wry smile, he remained unrepentant. After all, it was Rabbit who had promised to take responsibility for him, and he wasn't some kind-hearted person who would tolerate Rabbit going back on his word. Ultimately, it was Rabbit's own fault—yes, Rabbit's own fault.
After consoling himself, Arip closed his eyes and fell asleep with a clear conscience. His last thought before falling asleep was that since Rabbit was with him, he couldn't let Rabbit down. Since they couldn't go public with their relationship openly, he couldn't skimp on material compensation.
…………
While the two were enjoying a peaceful and harmonious sleep, the players and monsters were engaged in a life-or-death battle on a cold, damp rainy night.
"No, I can't beat them." Guagua wiped his face, removing the mud and water that was covering his eyes.
"If only we had explosives, one wouldn't be enough, so we'd use two, two wouldn't be enough, so we'd use three. I refuse to believe we couldn't blow them up." He's gone mad; he can be carried away now.
Guagua shifted its position slightly. "Meimei, what do you think?"
Meimei was one of the first ten players to be wiped out. She accidentally stumbled upon this dungeon. She was walking along the path when a snake suddenly darted out. Her instinctive reaction was to dodge to the side, but who knew that this dodge would lead to disaster? She had a love-hate relationship with her luck.
"What can we do?" Meimei said helplessly. At least 80% of the online players had gathered here, and all of them had died at least twice. It wasn't that the players were bad, but there were a few incredibly strong monsters mixed in. They had tried everything, killing many low-level monsters, but those few hadn't even been scratched.
Those still fighting were still fighting, but many had already retreated to the area outside the circle created by Arebo. Since they were all in the form of little firemen anyway, those who were hesitant didn't sit down directly, while those who weren't hesitant just found a place to sit, all looking dejected.
"When can we use our magic?" Yunmu couldn't hold on any longer. She rushed here as soon as the dungeon opened, and except for logging off to eat, she spent all her time fighting monsters. She was so tired that she wanted to log off and rest, but she was really unwilling to. She could be said to be the most proactive player in pursuing combat power, and she was also the player with the highest level and closest to level eleven.
"Have you forgotten what the king once said?" said QuackQuack, "To cast spells at a low level, you need a magic wand. Where do you think we can get a magic wand?"
"Then I'll be a swordsman." Yun Mu said without hesitation as she looked at the progress bar that was almost full. Anyway, she was better at close combat, and the swordsman profession might be more suitable for her.
Thinking of Yun Mu's great achievements, he grinned, completely unable to imagine Yun Mu's fighting power wielding a greatsword in the future. He was certain that she would be unstoppable, killing gods and Buddhas alike.
"I've analyzed it, and many secondary professions are based on the primary profession, and they almost all have to be mages," said Roasted Sweet Potato.
After saying "Why not roast sweet potatoes?", the little fire people around him all looked at him, not understanding what he was trying to say.
"But there's one exception," said the roasted sweet potato vendor.
"Summoner." It wasn't just Ruobu Kaodigua who spoke.
"I felt something was off back then. Wouldn't it be interesting if one of our players actually got lucky and developed the Summoner class?" said the husky, who could only be seen as a vertical white bar in the dark.
"No way, do you guys really think players can become summoners?" Guagua asked, full of doubt.
“Now that it’s been marked, even if the probability is low, there will definitely be players who can become summoners.” Butterfly spoke up, and everyone finally noticed his presence.
The quack was so startled that it jumped up, which drew a burst of laughter.
"Isn't this just like a set of nesting dolls?" said Guaguagua to ease the awkwardness.
"I feel the probability is terrifyingly low." Cai Cai, who received the notice that he didn't have to cook tonight, was so angry that he almost ground his teeth to powder. He had just finished his earnest persuasion, and the little king obediently agreed to come here tonight to die. Only a fool would believe that nothing would happen. He wasn't a fool, but in this matter, he had always been an outsider. He was clear about the boundaries and limits, so he had no choice but to come along to fight monsters and vent his anger.
"Sigh, what's the point of discussing this? Becoming a summoner is a profession that requires a lot of luck. Instead of discussing this unfounded question, let's talk about whether everyone wants to choose a mage or a swordsman," said Liang Jingjing.
Ahead lay a battle of "mountains of corpses and seas of blood," but it was pitch black, and if it weren't for the red and blue bars, it would be impossible to tell whether the attackers were players or monsters; behind them, a lively discussion was taking place, read as discussion, written as banter, and even more intense than the battle ahead.
-----------------------
Author's Note: My darlings, I want to ask, do you guys like seeing the two main characters being all lovey-dovey? Won't it get a bit tiring after a while? If you don't really like it, I'll adjust the later plot. Sigh, actually, there are only a few chapters left. Soon we'll see the two main characters' long-distance relationship. Don't forget, Arip is just here on a mission; he'll be going back.
