Chapter 87
With Mo Bai's introduction, Shu Mo gradually understood.
In general, the guy in front of me is a very easy-to-get-along-with mushroom among the super S-level monsters.
It has a gentle and shy personality and a low sense of presence. Unless a player steps into its territory, it is almost not aggressive towards humans.
This can be seen from the fact that he can take the initiative to stroll into human gathering areas to join in the fun.
——What's more, he just said "thank you" to the captain who helped him.
That mediocre senior team captain would never have imagined that the person he thought was a pervert was actually transformed from a super S-level monster.
After listening to the explanation, Shu Mo silently labeled him a "shy and timid but fun-loving perverted mushroom."
If he didn't love to join in the fun, he wouldn't have been so unlucky as to run into a dragon.
At this moment, the expression of Mei Mushroom-student was exactly the same as that of the Beast-mimicking just now, with a kind of obedient look as if his fate was being held by the scruff of the neck.
...God knows how Shu Mo could tell "well-behaved" from a giant mushroom.
In short, the food chain among monsters is clearly presented before our eyes.
Not to mention the friendly mushrooms, even the monsters that are not easy to mess with will become more approachable in front of the dragons, just think about the previous beastman.
The appearance of Mei Mushroom is very iconic, just like a poisonous mushroom that came out of a picture, or was directly dragged into the real world after being 3D modeled. The cap is round and smooth, with white spots dotted on the bright red background, the gills are evenly distributed, and the stem is not stained with a trace of dirt. Standing in this bamboo forest, it has a natural temperament.
But Shu Mo really couldn't talk to a mushroom that was taller than him, so he asked him to change back again, and then asked directly: "Excuse me, do you have any wishes that have not been fulfilled now?"
This was the first time Shu Mo faced a super S-level monster other than Mo Bai. If time allowed, she would have wanted to chat more.
But the annoying and obtrusive countdown above his head had been flashing non-stop from the beginning till now. Shu Mo had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart and complete the time-limited task first.
Although there is no penalty for mission failure, the reward is exactly what she needs right now.
"Now that you've come to Nuan Nuan Hot Springs, is there anything you want to do but haven't done yet? Maybe I can help you."
Upon hearing this, Mei Mushroom moved uncomfortably, and Shu Mo smelled the scent of wet soil after a rainstorm from him.
It is a "pheromone" that is completely different from Mo Bai's.
He was a little surprised, "You've already discovered that I'm a monster... Are you still going to entertain me?"
Shu Mo had never thought about this question.
"As long as you abide by the rules, Nuannuan Hot Spring welcomes every guest."
She thought about it and suddenly laughed because she found it interesting. "Besides, we already have a monster foreman who performs very well here."
It was a rare occasion that he received Shu Mo's praise without showing off. Mo Bai said nothing, but his ears exposed from under his hair turned a little red.
"foreman?"
Mei Mushroom was even more surprised. Although he could transform into a human form, he didn't know much about the human world. When he heard the title, he just thought it was very impressive. He praised in a half-comprehending way: "As expected of a dragon."
With Mo Bai here, he didn't dare to disobey the rules, so he answered Shu Mo's question honestly: "Actually, I want a room."
"I also brought some tribesmen with me, but they can't transform, so I can't let them out to bathe in the hot springs together."
He explained.
"I asked the Terran at the front desk, but she said there were no rooms left."
Compared to the delicious food in the restaurant or the props in the handicraft shop, the fungus monsters are obviously more fond of the hot springs here because of their racial characteristics.
He felt a little upset because he was the only one who got to soak in the hot spring while his tribesmen couldn't enjoy it together.
This is also why the time-limited task has not been completed yet, because the customer is not satisfied.
Shu Mo understood, "This is easy, just follow me."
Fortunately, there are vacancies in the staff dormitory.
She took Mei Mushroom to an empty dormitory on the second floor that had not yet been occupied, opened the door, and led him straight to the bathroom.
The shower in the dormitory also came out with hot spring water, and the water pressure was very strong. Shu Mo turned on the switch and jumped back skillfully, accurately avoiding the hot water rushing down.
In a few seconds, hot steam filled the entire bathroom. With every breath, you could smell a faint scent of sulfur. A layer of fine water droplets quickly condensed on the clean tiles.
Seeing this scene, several white mushrooms suddenly popped out from Mei Mushroom's shoulders and hood, vividly reflecting his mood at the moment.
Mushroom ecstasy.jpg
It’s just that others are blooming flowers, while he is blooming mushrooms.
He quickly picked a few flowers and handed them to Shu Mo, his expression sincere and full of gratitude, "Boss, you are so kind."
[Obtain: [White Mushroom]*7]
[Put in backpack]
Shu Mo: “???”
There are unexpected benefits to receiving monster guests?
She opened her backpack and clicked on the description of the white mushroom. There was only one line of text written inside: [A thank you gift from [Charm Mushroom], effect unknown].
This is the interpretation of it in "Arctic Cold". Cooking is not possible in the game by default, so there is no description of the taste. But when Shu Mo looked at the mushrooms in the bag, he felt that no matter the shape or size... they were exactly the same as the mushrooms he used to eat.
If this is true, the description should be supplemented with the sentence, [It is edible and suitable for cooking, frying or grilling. The meat is tender and delicious.]
A bunch of mushroom dishes popped up in Shu Mo's mind and he swallowed.
I shamefully had the urge to leave Mei Mushroom-san in the hot spring.
Just water them with hot water every day and you can grow a lot of mushrooms... Isn't this faster than running to the lake to feed the fish every day?
The mimic beasts act as a means of transportation, the magic mushrooms provide edible and delicious mushrooms, and the little black dragon even brings his own dowry - a large number of mineral veins and rich resource points.
If there were more top monsters like this in the hot springs, coupled with bamboo shoots from the bamboo forest and fish fry from the lake, a self-sufficient life would be just around the corner.
How is this not another way of making the best use of things?
*
Shu Mo took the thank-you gift and became more enthusiastic when receiving Mei Mushroom.
After a detailed introduction on how to use the facilities here, as well as the location of various supplies such as towels and lockers, she closed the door and left.
Before leaving, she remembered that mushrooms seemed to prefer a darker environment, so she walked to the window, closed the curtains, and turned off the main lights in the room, leaving only a night light.
Before leaving, Shu Mo heard a few shrill screams coming from the bathroom, followed by a nervous "hush" from Mei Mushroom.
He muttered, "There is a scary black dragon here. Have you forgotten the story I told you when you were little?"
There was a sudden silence.
Mei Mushroom sighed again, and seemed to take in the surrounding environment, with envy in his tone, "However, the dragons can actually live in a room like this... It's great..."
He just heard that Mo Bai lived next door.
Shu Mo laughed and left the dormitory quietly.
It was not convenient for her to wander around the boys' dormitory, but she did not dare to go too far away, so she simply stopped by Mo Bai's room and warmed herself by the fire.
As long as Mo Bai is in the room, the fireplace burns almost 24 hours a day. The warm flames and the crackling sound of firewood have a calming power.
He placed some small gadgets above the fireplace. Shu Mo went closer to take a look and found minerals of various colors and some brightly colored materials inside.
These decorations are arranged in a row, and not only do they look beautiful, but the prices are also quite terrifying if you calculate them.
Some are even completely unsalable.
The little black dragon, like all dragons, also likes these shiny collectibles.
Shu Mo picked up a piece at random, played with it in his hand, and seemed a little absent-minded.
"The higher the level of the monster, the more it likes to collect spoils." Mo Bai seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. After explaining, he took another piece and stuffed it into her hand in the blink of an eye, "This one is even rarer."
To them, expensive means good.
He didn't care what Shu Mo did with the ore, he just wanted to give her what he thought was the best.
This is Longlong’s principle of gift giving.
Of course, Shu Mo's original idea of decorating the walls with beautiful sparkling gems did coincide with the dragon's train of thought.
The firelight in front of him was bright, and Shu Mo's heart moved. He thanked him, took the ore and looked at it, and then asked: "Is it a coincidence that a super S-level monster like the charm mushroom came to the hot spring?"
"Probably not." Mo Bai shook his head, sorted out his thoughts, and said slowly, "Although according to the setting, the number of super S-level monsters is the smallest among all level T monsters, and they are even passed down as legendary existences among humans...but our actual number is actually not as small as imagined."
"After all, at the beginning, there were nearly 10 billion players on the entire continent. In order to give players a sufficient number of monsters to challenge, super S-level monsters could not be as rare as rumored. Moreover, the gap in strength between us is actually very large."
To be honest, even the Super S-level classification is very general.
The highest level of monster that humans can currently challenge is S-level, so they call all monsters above this level "Super S-level", which is actually a very vague classification method.
In the future, when humans' level is further improved, they will inevitably discover the gap between super S-level monsters and change their classification method.
It’s just that the game has only been around for ten years, and today’s players are still too weak.
Those super S-level monsters - let's just say that, were set up at the beginning of the game, scattered around the world, waiting for the players to challenge them.
However, this wait lasted for ten years.
Because the game map was divided according to the approximate levels of the monsters, players were clearing the land one piece at a time, and the progress was extremely slow. This resulted in the monsters in those high-level areas being unable to wait for the players to arrive, and becoming bored.
So in recent years, they started to play badly... no, they started traveling.
Under the pretext of investigating the progress of humans in the game and knowing both ourselves and the enemy so as to win every battle, many super S-level monsters began to wander around the game in human skins, or visit with other monsters.
Because they have far superior mobility to humans and no natural enemies, a few short years are enough for them to travel to most cities in the world. If they meet other friendly monsters during the process, they might sit down and chat with them... As a result, they are much more informed than humans.
Whatever new things happen in the world, they may know it earlier than humans.
Unlike human players, they are so isolated from the news. Now the news of Nuannuan Hot Spring has almost spread throughout Guangming Town, but few people know about it in neighboring towns.
Shu Mo understood, "That is to say, once the news of the hot spring spreads, there may be more humanoid monsters coming to the hot spring in the future?"
"They are not humanoid monsters, but elite monsters that can transform into humans." Mo Bai made a small correction to her statement, "Like Shadow Knights and Necromancers, these are all humanoid monsters, but they are fundamentally different from Super S-level monsters."
"They lack intelligence, are unable to communicate, and more importantly, are controlled by games and are unable to escape their instinctive desire to attack humans."
This means that only super S-level monsters can become customers of the hot spring.
But not everyone is so easy to get along with.
"Some of them are as gentle and timid as the charm mushroom, and of course there are also some with brutal personalities... You will know when you meet them." Mo Bai paused, "But don't worry too much, this barrier is enough to deal with it."
Thinking back to the bad past, he felt a little scared.
Shu Mo laughed dryly, "Then is there any specific method to distinguish these monsters?"
Although the hot spring is open to every "guest", considering that these special guests are powerful and have unstable personalities, she still has to make preparations in advance just in case.
Mo Bai coughed and said, "No need to distinguish them. If they get closer, I will tell you."
Shu Mo: “?”
She was a little confused: "Then why today..."
Mo Bai's eyes wandered, "Today's situation is special. The presence of the charm mushroom... is too low."
It's like a big mushroom with a group of small mushrooms. The dog sneaked under the nose of the dragon. It's normal to be ignored, isn't it?
What's more, there were a lot of customers who ordered oden throughout the day!
The dragon, who was busy cooking oden, felt that he had good reasons for his momentary negligence.
"If I have to say what the characteristics are," he thought, "it might be that they are all relatively poor."
Shu Mo: "Hmm?"
Elite monster, poor?
These two words always seemed to have nothing in common, but before she could ask in detail, the countdown in front of her suddenly flashed and then went out quietly.
Stop at position [00:03:20].
Then——
