Chapter 100 The relationship must have faded
100.
When you are shopping in a small supermarket a little way away, you always feel the shelves and the ground are shaking. Is it an earthquake?
Without even thinking, you calmly turned around and put the most expensive red wine on the cashier counter. Then, you took out the black card given to you by the publicity officer in a handsome and unrestrained manner and gave the cashier a devilish smile: "Check out."
Haha, aren't there enough earthquakes in Japan? Why did the game also copy this one? It's okay, as long as it doesn't reach magnitude 6, 7 or 8, it's just a small earthquake.
A small earthquake is a relief, but a big earthquake is inevitable. If the ground explodes, everyone will die!
"Well... well... customer... customer..." The cashier, who was almost sticking to the wall, pointed to the notice in front of the cash register - it said that the POS machine was under maintenance - he stammered and finished his words, "So... so this... this store does not support... black card payments..."
Ichimonji Norimune lets out a shrill parrot laugh above your head.
You pinch the neck of the annoying old man with a long mouth, oh, now it's the parrot, and calmly take out your phone: "Oh, then pay with pay."
Before leaving, you couldn't help but glance at the cashier who was trembling all over and didn't dare to look you in the eye, and shook your tail: If you don't support it, then don't support it, why are you hiding so far away from me?
Are you afraid of falling in love with cats? What is there to be afraid of? Shake your bangs and be confident that cats have the best luck.
After making sure you were far away, the trembling cashier sat down on the ground. After a long pause, he trembled and took out a walkie-talkie from his pocket, and shouted in a tearful and collapsed voice: "...There is a cat demon nearby! Transaction canceled!"

On the way back, you didn't ride Birdfly because you saw some greenery on the roadside that was pleasing to your eyes.
As the passers-by seemed to be hesitant to speak and finally looked doting, you put the plants for landscaping into your backpack along with their roots and soil.
Then, you dug out a wooden treasure chest from a trash can deep in the alley, and found a smooth beer bottom lid - it's useless, but it's shiny, and maybe the pet crow will like it - don't crows like shiny things?
Then you went fishing a little bit. Good news: the king fish here is not Dazai Osamu! Bad news: the fish bait was eaten by the king fish...
When you slowly return to the old world, thinking about how to reimburse the wine you just bought and whether you can say an extra zero, you find that this store seems to look a little different from when you left?
"Hey, Ze Zong, are we in the wrong place?" You scratched your head, confused, "Why does it feel like this is not the same place as the one we came to this morning?"
The signboard fell down, the glass was all broken, and the outer wall was bulging... Was the earthquake just now so strong? Wasn't it a small earthquake?
"Master, step back." Sonroku Kenmoto used the pearl bracelet to transform back into human form and blocked you behind him. He narrowed his eyes and smiled a little crazy, "...There is a smell of blood."
Although it is normal for the Honmaru NPC to protect you, why do you feel that... Sonroku Kenmoto is a little impatient to turn back into human form?
Ichimonji Norimune lay on your head without moving. When he noticed your gaze, he laughed twice: "Do you want to let the old man work too?"
You tugged at Sunroku Jianyuan's clothes and pushed the door open as if nothing had happened - if you have a red name, you can increase the title progress by +N; if you don't have a red name... then don't have a red name.
However, the environment inside the Old World is worse than you can imagine: the decorations in the store are in pieces, the tables and chairs are toppled, several pool tables have been overturned and embedded in the wall, and most of the objects have been turned into powder, with only some debris being barely found.
At a glance, you only see the gray name representing death.
This doesn't look like something that happened after an earthquake, but more like... You think hard for a while and come up with an adjective: a tornado destroying the billiards.
This situation is quite common in Yokohama at night. If you are not careful, the NPC will turn gray... You scratch your tail, so now, do you not need to cook? It's quite a pity...
No!
You suddenly remember that the NPCs are all dead, so who can you ask to confirm the completion of the errand task? And the wine you specially selected is the most expensive one. Without the NPCs, who can you ask to reimburse you?
no!
The NPC will die later, so get up now and give your reward!
You found an NPC with the most intact corpse in the store, called out the fairy, and used the resurrection skill on the person's head.
Seeing that the NPC's health bar was green again, you squatted down, grabbed the slightly alive Albatross and shook it violently: "Talk, will you pay for the wine for the cat?"
You forgot that your summoning power was quite strong at level 70, and you accidentally killed the barely alive NPC again.
Looking at the resurrected one entering CD, and then looking at the NPC that turned gray again, you turned your head to look at Sonroku Kenmoto, with an innocent look on your face: "Cat didn't mean it, meow."
The reason why you are so fragile is that the NPC’s defense value is too low!
*
The albatross woke up again from the cold darkness.
Just now...it seems like he died twice?
The albatross, whose brain was still confused, slowly opened its eyes, and the familiar, yet not-so-familiar old world came into view.
Haha, do people still dream after they die? Then he would laugh at Chuuya... But it doesn't matter if he doesn't have such a dream. I hope his collection can be treated well. It is his favorite motorcycle...
"Hey, are you alive?"
A magnified black face suddenly appeared in front of Albatross. He subconsciously held his breath, and even his heart stopped beating for a second - would all the dead souls turn so black? Wouldn't he be called Dark Albatross? No!
"Huh? Why doesn't he speak?" You looked at the fairy in confusion, "When he was just resurrected, did you remove any part of his body?" For example, his brain, his mouth, etc.
The questioned fairy turned around angrily and flew behind the human-shaped Ichimonji Norimune. After making a face at you, she hid in the knife monster's hair and couldn't get out.
"So I'm not dead..." Albatross took a long time to calm down. His voice was a little dry. "Did you... save me?"
Since he survived, did the others also... As for the doctor, Chuuya has already brought him back to Hong Kong//Hei for treatment, right?
But soon, he found the mutilated bodies of his companions around him.
He failed to save the doctor...
"That who..." You looked at the silently crying albatross and said righteously, "I bought the wine for you. Can you reimburse me?"
Haha, it cannot be reimbursed, the black card is yours.
"Ah?" Albatross held the body of his companion and raised his head in confusion, "What kind of wine?"
Did the fairy really not revive the NPC's brain? Why did the NPC lose his memory so quickly?
You opened the system panel, repeatedly confirmed that there were no strange debuffs under the opponent's health bar, and repeated the task content: "Didn't you ask Catman to buy wine? The black card can't be used, can the part of the advance payment be reimbursed?"
"…Report?" Albatross spoke cautiously, as if he had thought of something, "But the people responsible for reimbursement are the publicity officer and the pianist…"
"What about them?"
The albatross did not answer your question, but just looked quietly at the corpse on the ground.
Hiss——You took a breath of cool air, contributing a little to the warming of this place. You have never saved an NPC that has been broken into this state...
You look at the little fairy, asking with your eyes if this can be pulled up?
The little fairy shakes her head at you.
Or should we just give up on this mission? The yellow exclamation mark won't give us much anyway...
As if sensing that you had no intention of saving anyone, Albatross remained silent for a while before forcing out a smile: “Ah…if that doesn’t work, you can also go find Chuuya…”
If you can't save the doctors, at least you have to protect Chuuya. He looked at the two blades behind you, his eyes darkened. When did this powerful esper come to Yokohama...
"Oh, it's Chuuya! I know this one!" Great, now I'm sure I'm looking for Chuuya!
After walking a few steps outside, you stepped back, and before the Albatross could react and come back, you put all the gray and hard NPCs on the ground into your backpack - you can't save them now, but who knows, you may be able to save them when they reach the maximum level. Then you can turn them all into employees of Catman and let them work by moving bricks, hehehe...
The albatross came to his senses and found that the bodies of his companions in his arms and on the ground were gone:?
*
Following the system's instructions, you found Chuuya Nakahara in the wilderness. You rode a bird in mid-air and smiled at the NPC you hadn't seen for a long time: "Wow, Chuuya, long time no see, meow - why are you still so short?"
Nakahara Chuuya, who was about to open the dirty water:?
“Asshole!” Nakahara Chuuya roared, “I’m still growing!”
"Hey, this is not the time to joke." Dazai Osamu noticed the change and climbed back to the top of the large spherical gas storage tank. "Why are you here?"
He tilted his head, his iris-colored eyes seemed to be looking at you, yet seemed to be looking at nothing.
“Do you want to…” He shouted at you with great effort, his voice shattered by the wind, “to become a god?”
What? Why is Dazai Osamu saying something that Catman can't understand again? Even Nakahara Chuuya has a complicated expression that says, uh, anyway, you can't understand it.
I've said long ago that the Riddler is sick, but look, now none of them are acting like normal people anymore.
“I don’t understand.” You put your hand to your mouth and meowed loudly, “But cat man is already cat god!”
Dazai Osamu stopped talking.
You wanted to discuss the issue of reimbursement with Nakahara Chuuya, but when you turned your head inadvertently, you saw a red monster with a pitch-black body, eight red eyes, and that looked like a dragon. Its health bar occupied the entire field of vision of the cat man.
“Oh my god!” You were dumbfounded. “An S-level elite monster spawned on the map?”
"You two are so abominable!" You reacted and complained to Nakahara Chuuya and Dazai Osamu, "You didn't even call me when you started a group fight against the elite monsters on the map?! Or was it the cat man's spit that hit you?"
"I understand." You were heartbroken and cried to the sky, "It's all because the feelings have faded, there's no love anymore, I forgot about it later, anyway, there's no Cat Man in my heart anymore!"
"Huh?" Nakahara Chuuya said, "What are you talking about? This is the monster Guivre. We must hurry and stop him from destroying Yokohama..."
Almost at the same time when Nakahara Chuuya finished speaking, a purple exclamation mark that you had never seen before appeared on his head.
[Urgent Limited Time Mission: Stop the Monster Guivre]
[Reward: Unknown]
"Oh, fighting dragons to save the world, huh?"
If you interrupt Chuuya Nakahara, this kind of monster-killing mission is much more interesting than the toilet-unclogging mission. I like to open up new land without a strategy. The feeling of repeatedly dying in an unknown mechanism fascinates players.
"Got it, this is the Yokohama version of Dragon God Slayer!"
Well, but you learned your lesson this time. Before you start to fight the monsters, you save the game. Then, you take out the temporary weapon given by Administrator 03.
The moment Nakahara Chuuya saw the appearance of your new weapon, his mouth twitched: "Postpartum care for sows... Looking at this kind of thing at this time... What on earth do you want to do?"
"What?" You looked at him in confusion, "Of course, I'm shaking the Pokémon out to fight monsters."
You hold up the book and shout, "My turn, Gem Beast Summon—"
Although Administrator 03 said that the appearance of summoned beasts will be slightly different depending on the carrier, but Pokémon is so cute, how different can it be?
“Meow——”
A huge figure appeared.
Taller than ordinary buildings, the giant beast with a dark green body and red horns on its head slowly opened its eyes, revealing golden pupils.
You were stunned: "Xiao...Xiaobao?"
Where is your fluffy little Pokémon, the cutest thing in the world that you can kiss to death in your mouth?
This is completely Agumon evolving into Zombie Tyrannosaurus!
The original Pokémon* grins, revealing a row of neat and sharp fangs, and happily taps its tail in response to you: "Meow——"
Seeing the Pokémon who had no sense of being a mutant and wanted to get close to you, you were silent for a while and spoke with difficulty: "Xiaobao, you have grown up. You should learn to be independent and stop being so coquettish and close to the cat boy."
"Meow?" The original Pokémon tilted its head in confusion. It accidentally knocked over a few trees with its tail. It moved forward again, trying to get you to touch it like before, "Meow——"
You dodge on your bird, avoiding the venom that spews out of the original Pokémon's mouth.
Looking at the large hole in the ground caused by corrosion, you said that this prototype Pokémon is awesome.
Forget it, it's over now...
"Xiaobao, do you see that dragon over there?"
You calmly point to the elite monster on the map.
"Go ahead and eat it."
