Chapter 88
The reminder that the task was completed brought Shu Mo back to her senses. She checked her backpack and found that the reward had been credited to her account.
There was an extra grid on the last page of the backpack. From the thumbnail, it looked like a simple-looking wooden house with a small number 10 marked underneath.
The empty house rewarded by the system is the same as the one Shu Mo bought from the mall when he built his own villa. The default configuration is a wooden house with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom. You can make some minor adjustments to the layout, such as changing the location of the kitchen, or changing the windows to diamond shape, etc.
But if you want to do a major renovation, you'll have to spend points.
Adding a new wall costs xx points, changing the window into a floor-to-ceiling window costs xx points, painting the wall in candy colors costs xx points, and adding a terrace outside the window costs another xx points... Changes can be undone at any time (but the points will not be refunded), and the construction freedom is extremely high.
If you make too many changes, all added up, you may not save many points compared to directly purchasing a pre-designed [Chinese/Western/Japanese-style cottage] in the business mall, but you can enjoy the extra fun of design.
In addition, the layout and style of the built house can be changed at any time. If you are tired of the simple modern style, you can change it to Chinese classical style, American pastoral style, or even add a third, fourth, or fifth floor...
——The main point is that as long as you are willing to spend money, nothing is impossible.
Therefore, even though it is just an ordinary empty house now, it is entirely possible that it will be expanded into a European classical castle in the future, and it has endless potential.
Shu Mo was very satisfied with this reward.
Since she was going to run a B&B in the future, she would naturally need empty rooms. This system task came at a very timely moment and helped her save a lot of costs.
The topic was interrupted by Mei Mushroom. After Shu Mo closed his backpack, he forgot what he was talking about for a moment, "You just said..."
There was a gentle knock on the door and she shut up again.
I opened the door and saw the mushroom standing outside.
He had just taken a shower, and there were water droplets on the ends of his hair, making him look very refreshed. Shu Mo couldn't help but imagine the wet surface of a freshly washed mushroom.
Suppressing her imagination, she was about to greet him when she suddenly noticed something strange out of the corner of her eye.
Looking down——
A pile of freshly washed mushrooms stood neatly on the wooden floor of the corridor of the company's staff dormitory.
Shu Mo: “!!”
Oh my god!
"I brought them here to say hello."
Mei Mushroom was a little reserved, but spoke very politely. Like a patriarch.
There are clear levels among monsters, and many high-level monsters don't even allow low-level monsters to enter their territory. But now that it knows that there are dragons and summoners more powerful than itself here, even if it is afraid, it has to come over and say hello.
There were mushrooms of all sizes and colors standing in front of him, all of them juicy and lively. Shu Mo seriously suspected that he had unknowingly fallen into the illusion created by the magic mushrooms.
Mo Bai poked his head out from behind her and said "oh" calmly.
Shu Mo glanced over his shoulder suspiciously, then, recalling this guy's almost zero social skills, decided not to expose his obvious acting skills.
As expected, Mo Bai couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't last more than two seconds. He started to introduce Shu Mo to ease the embarrassment.
So naturally she learned a lot of information about the magic mushroom and its "tribe".
For example, although they seem to be numerous, they are actually all the same kind of monster. They just change into different appearances to hide themselves in the forest.
Once a traveler steps in, he will not be able to distinguish which are monsters and which are ordinary vegetation, and it is easy for him to fall into their ambush without knowing it, and become trapped in the illusion, making it difficult to escape.
It is a type of monster that looks harmless but is actually very difficult to deal with.
For example, they also have a very simple name...
Mo Bai uttered two words solemnly: "Magic Mushroom."
Shu Mo: “………………”
This naming joke is not over yet, right?
What is the difference between this way of naming and looking through dictionaries, quoting classics, and finally naming the child Wang Xiaoming? ?
At this moment, noisy voices were heard from the direction of the entrance at the end of the corridor. Shu Mo thought to himself that it was not good. Calculating the time, it should be the hotel employees returning from get off work.
She wanted to remind Charm Mushroom to put away the magic mushrooms, but it was too late when she opened her mouth.
"Wow, where did all these big mushrooms come from!"
Jiang Xudong, the first person to step into the corridor, the employee in charge of the transportation of the annex, let out a scream.
He had no idea that he had accidentally walked into the exchange between two elite monsters. He came over curiously, and then he noticed Shu Mo beside him, "Hey, Boss, you are here too."
"Ah, yeah." Shu Mo said vaguely, "I sent a friend over to stay for a while, and will leave soon."
Since the dormitory was divided into sections, she rarely went to the second floor except for occasional expansion during the day, and the employees didn't mind her occasional visit.
Their interest soon shifted to a pile of mushrooms that looked like they had just escaped from the vegetable market.
"Is this a fungus monster?"
"Why are there so many? When I took a quick look just now, I thought there were mushrooms growing in the hot spring."
"Some summoners have this quirk and only like to collect a certain type of monster. I've seen a venomous monster enthusiast before, and all he captured were scorpion monsters, snake monsters, spider monsters, and so on."
"Ugh."
"But I like collecting mushrooms. This hobby is indeed a bit unique..."
The man spoke very tactfully, and after he finished speaking, he glanced at the mushroom.
When he saw the big hood, he felt relieved.
I have even cosplayed it myself, which shows it is true love. Then it's normal to tame a bunch of mushrooms.
Shu Mo, who was standing by, felt a little relieved as he listened.
She originally thought that she would have to explain herself when the two parties clashed, but she didn't expect that this group of employees would come up with an excuse for her so quickly.
Come to think of it, players have been in the game for a long time, and when they see sudden abnormal phenomena, they naturally get used to using the game to find a reasonable explanation. What's more, apart from Shu Mo himself, Gu Xiao and Mo Bai (?) are all summoners, so the employees unknowingly formed a strange impression that "the boss likes to make friends with summoners."
Now seeing the magic mushroom, this stereotype has been further deepened.
While they were looking at him, they would glance at Shu Mo from time to time, with expressions that said "as expected".
Shu Mo: “…”
This is totally unexplainable.
The employees thought these were summoned beasts and had no fear. They surrounded them and watched them for a while before leaving.
Shu Mo was watching from the side with a trepidation, fearing that someone would accidentally bump into the Charm Mushroom, causing a health bar to grow so long that the end of it could not be seen, thus exposing its identity.
Since the game started, I'm afraid that wild monsters and players have never been so harmonious.
And now in the hot springs, with the dual suppression of the barrier and the dragon clan, a kind of peace has been achieved in a strange way.
The magic mushrooms had their leader by their side, so they would not act arbitrarily and could only be ravaged by others. After finally waiting for a few people to leave, Shu Mo felt a little sorry, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay. This is human territory after all." Mei Mushroom scratched his head and accidentally dropped a mushroom. He exclaimed "Ah", quickly bent down to pick it up, patted the dirt off it, then handed it over and asked.
"Boss, do you want it?"
He had just noticed that the boss looked very happy when he received the mushroom gift, so this time he gave it very naturally, as if he regarded it as a way to conquer humans.
[Obtain: [Gray Mushroom]*1]
[Put in backpack]
Shu Mo's eyelids twitched, and he sighed sincerely: He is really easy to talk to.
It's this way of dropping, I always feel like there's something weird about it...
Mei Mushroom's eyes lit up when she saw Shu Mo accept the gift.
He seemed to want to say something, but because of Mo Bai's presence, he couldn't speak. After a long while, he asked shyly, "Um, about the room fee..."
"Oh, it's okay, you can just stay here tonight." Shu Mo said happily.
Although the purpose of entertaining the magic mushroom is to complete the task, we can't just ignore it once the task is completed.
"That's not good." Mei Mushroom shook his head quickly, "I just want to ask, can I use something else to pay for the room?"
Shu Mo blinked.
She suddenly recalled what Mo Bai had just said, that elite monsters are all very poor.
So that's what it is.
——Because they have no points.
Monsters don't have player accounts, so naturally they don't have points to pay with. However, before the hot springs appeared, this actually had no effect on them - they did not need weapons or food, could sleep anywhere at night, and had never been troubled by points.
It wasn't until we arrived at the hot springs and found out that we had to pay for everything that we started to feel helpless.
Wasn’t it the same when Mo Bai first came to the hot spring?
After Shu Mo figured it out, he had a new doubt, "But didn't you just take a hot spring bath before...?"
He shook his head: "I don't know either. They let me in for no apparent reason."
Shu Mo thought about it and guessed what happened: maybe this guy had a low sense of presence, and the front desk accidentally mistook him for that team, and the captain didn't think there was anything unusual and just paid the points for him.
What a mistake.
She was a little embarrassed, "Of course, I can. What are you going to use..." An idea flashed in her mind, and Shu Mo changed the subject, "Can I use mushrooms? The ones you just gave me."
"Is it okay?" Mei Mushroom was also stunned.
These mushrooms are almost free for it. They will grow more when it is in a good mood, and they will also grow more during continuous rainy seasons. Over time, there are a lot of them in the space, and it doesn't know what to do with them.
...But now the boss actually said that it can be used to deduct the room fee?
It was incredible to get such a nice room and hot water for free.
Shu Mo nodded frantically, "Yes, yes, of course!"
Those are fresh mushrooms!
Free mushrooms!
It can be used for making soup, braising, frying, making salt and pepper mushrooms, stewing chicken with mushrooms, and can also be used to make mushroom soup hot pot!
Mei Mushroom was also very happy, "That's great, I still have a lot here, I wonder if it's enough for a week?"
He was not sure of its value, so he simply took out a part of it from the space, and a mushroom mountain immediately appeared in front of Shu Mo.
Shu Mo raised his head: wow.
At this rate, not only will there be enough for her to eat, but she might also be able to add a new dish of grilled mushrooms to the grilled fish party in the future.
The way she looked at Mei Mushroom was completely different.
Shu Mo patted his shoulder, no, his cap, and said kindly: "Classmate, how about we sign a long-term contract?"
…
After some negotiations, Shu Mo finally agreed to reserve a long-term room for Mei Mushroom in the hotel and provide unlimited hot water, on the condition that it needed to provide 200 mushrooms every day during its stay.
This was an easy production for Mei Mushroom, so he readily agreed.
Both parties are happy.
The charm mushrooms got the living environment they had always dreamed of - Nuannuan Hot Springs, which was much more comfortable than the territory provided for them by the Doomsday Game, and Shu Mo didn't have to do anything to harvest +200 mushrooms every day.
"Before the rooms are available for booking next week, I will reserve a room for you. Before that, you can live in the staff dormitory to avoid having your true identity discovered." She gave her final instructions.
It was a bit scary to let the guests know that there was a wild super S-level monster in the territory.
Anyway, even if he wants to attack the players, Shu Mo can suppress him with the barrier, so he might as well let him live there hiding his identity to avoid any complications.
We do this because the charm mushroom is easy to talk to. If some more ferocious monsters come to the hot spring in the future... we'll deal with it then.
The true strength of the barrier is one of her trump cards, and Shu Mo doesn't want to expose it easily.
"I understand." Mei Mushroom nodded in agreement.
He was a little flattered that he could stay in the hot spring so easily.
[You have established a cooperative relationship with the monster "Charm Mushroom"! 】
【Click [Business Panel] to view details. 】
Next to the employee list on the management panel, a new column has recently been opened, which lists all people in the hot spring, including merchants in the commercial street, who have a non-employment partnership with Shu Mo.
The content of cooperation and specific terms will be clearly written under each person's name to facilitate inquiry and adjustment of treatment.
Among them, the vast majority are shop leasing relationships, and now, there is an ID photo behind the profile pictures of these merchants, with most of the boy’s face hidden under the hood, and a blurred big-headed mushroom in the background.
It says at the bottom: Raw material supplier.
Shu Mo clicked to view the details and found that the column for specific terms read: Party B (Mei Mushroom) provides Party A (Shu Mo) with 200 mushrooms every day.
In return, Party A will provide Party B with one mushroom breeding base.
Shu Mo: “?”
Although this summary seems to be correct...
But do you have to be so straightforward?
