Chapter 99 Seems to Like Weird Things
99.
I'm so pissed! How could such a serious bug as equipment being stolen appear? ! When you were being a banana fat in Honmaru, even ten Honmaru NPCs couldn't pull off your hat!
You open the system panel and see a dozen letters of condemnation on the administrator's private message page, strongly demanding that the game return your weapons and Gem Beasts without compensation.
The administrator seems to be offline. You send a message and the other party replies: Sorry, your question has been recorded and the staff will respond within three working days.
It makes you seem like you are competing with a robot.
"Master, be careful behind you——!"
Huh? What is California Qingguang shouting about? Didn't you see that you were busy fighting with the man-machine and let the administrator die to pay for the weapons?
The fishman who escaped the first team's detection is moving towards you quickly.
As the distance gets closer, the fishman finds that you still don't react. It has some intelligence but it is almost zero, so it concludes: you are scared silly.
Then the fishman laughed strangely, and more tentacles emerged from its body. From a distance, those constantly shaking tentacles looked like a giant anemone growing on the fishman's back.
"Really?" Kashuu Kiyomitsu shouted, speeding up to kill the surrounding fishmen, "All of you who are getting in the way, get out of my way!"
Even if...
Even though I know that nothing will happen to the Judge, I can't do anything while watching my master die in front of me... This kind of thing... This kind of thing!
He doesn't want to go through it a second time!
"...Kill you!"
He is no longer the weak "California Clearlight" who was of no help at the beginning, so this time, he will definitely protect his master well!
"Oh, you are so energetic. We can't lose, brother."
Higekiri casually chopped off the fishman's head. The blood gushing out from the monster's neck dyed half of his face red. He looked at Kneemaru and said with a smile: "I have become weak in the Dharma Ending Age... or something like that. I don't want to be told that."
"I understand, brother." Hibiki's expression became more ferocious. He frowned and chopped at the fishman in front of him with greater force. "If I lose the battle at this time, brother will completely forget me!"
"Oh... No, I've always remembered my brother. That..." Higekiri paused for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "Um... Wrinkle Brow Maru?"
Hibamaru, who had a serious face, broke down in an instant: "It's Hibamaru, brother!"
"Well, the name doesn't matter. Let's go to the head of the family first. That... Pofangmaru."
…
You wholeheartedly and persistently sent messages to the administrator, and finally received a reply from the inhuman machine.
【Administrator 02: ……】
[Admin 02: Haha, you can even lose your own weapon. You are really capable, great hero.]
No? You slowly put out a question mark, is this administrator being irritating to you? Not sure, let's take a look.
[Administrator 03: Haha, I love… this is what 02 who loves to joke is like~]
[Admin 03: Warm reminder, you can try the file reading function]
Load the file... Oh, yes, your ears twitch, and you suddenly realize that you forgot that you can save the file in the new copy world!
Good news, you don't have to worry about getting into trouble and getting killed anymore.
Bad news, you have never saved a file before, haha, what's going on?
You report this situation without any guilt, and then righteously ask the administrator to give you a new weapon, preferably one that glows and has cool dynamic sound effects.
[Admin 02: ...I refuse]
[Admin 03: No problem, 02 said he will do it for you, leave everything to us great ones... Ahem, Admin 02! ]
Is it really okay? Why do these two managers seem unreliable? Otherwise, let's wait for Mary to come back... You are still struggling when you suddenly smell a strong fishy smell of the sea. At the same time, you also feel a strong -
Murderous?
Subconsciously, you dodge the attack while pulling out a dagger from your backpack and stabbing it into the enemy's head cleanly.
The fishman fell heavily to the ground and wailed in pain, while the tentacles behind it, which were not yet dead, attacked you from a more tricky angle.
[Admin 03: After locating the lost weapons and recovering them, we will send new weapons to your mailbox]
[Admin 03: The estimated duration is five working days, please check carefully~]
03 is really reliable. As long as he gives the order, you will immediately support him to defeat Mary and become the No. 1 customer service representative.
Great! We can see the fluffy Pokémon again.
You stepped on the fishman's back tightly, pinched the tentacles that were torn off, and smiled more and more brightly: "Well, let's have grilled fish tonight."
"...Who can eat after seeing this?" Kashuu Kiyomitsu complained. He took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the mucus off your face, complaining softly, "Even if you are very strong, don't always make Ren worry... Occasionally..."
He put away the dirty handkerchief and spoke in a lower voice, as if he was a little embarrassed: "...Rely on us occasionally, I am also getting stronger."
You were about to meow to reply when you saw a message from the administrator pop up on the system panel:
[Administrator 02: Occasionally, you should also rely on us.]
[Admin 02: Wow, what a disgusting feeling.]
[Admin 03: Haha, don’t mind, he just remembered a friend]
[AAA food stall plumber: I’ve been wanting to ask this for a while now…]
[AAA Food Stall Plumber: Are you two together? You can watch the players' movements anytime, anywhere. Wow, I can't even imagine how perverted your voyeurism is.]
[AAA food stall plumber: Give me something good and I can pretend I don’t know]
[Administrator 03: No problem, I'll let 02 take it to you (thumbs-up.jpg)]
[Admin 03: Well, we took on this new job after retirement. It’s not considered peeping that the administrators monitor the behavior of players.]
[AAA food stall plumber: Eh - it's great to be retired... What about 02's friend? ]
[Admin 03: He still has a journey to complete... But, Ha and I, I mean 02 and I, will keep an eye on him.]
[Admin 03: Of course, we will also keep an eye on you]
Well, they are pretty nice people.
You hold Kizen, who has turned back into a pet, on Miri Hat and slowly fly towards the pet store.
When you returned to Honmaru, the system froze for a moment, and you didn't see the administrator's letter that was sent and then quickly withdrawn.
[Admin 02: I don’t really want to see your stupid faces this early… so keep going, hero.]
*
The administrator wants to give you this week's temporary weapon.
According to the information sent by the other party, the ether* of the temporary weapon is not very stable, so the spells and arrays are printed on the book using a simple enchantment method...
I don't understand. You summarize it. In short, just buy a book in the system store, and then give it to the administrator to enchant it, and you can get a temporary weapon, right?
Then you have to choose a book as a carrier that is both profound and simple, and can shock people's souls and make them suddenly realize something.
【Administrator 03: ...Poof】
[Admin 03: Are you sure you want to choose this book to enchant 02? ]
[AAA food stall plumber: Yeah, I have good taste, right? ]
[Administrator 03: Indeed... Pfft... 02 must... must like this book very much.]
[Administrator 03: Temporary weapons will be placed in your backpack in half an hour]
You close the system panel contentedly, and marvel at the new administrator's nice words and chatty attitude. You plan to harass him to chat with you next time.
After bidding farewell to the blade in the Honmaru and stuffing the animal version of Ichimonji Norimitsu - the sunflower parrot, and Sonroku Kenmoto - the puppy version of the wolfhound - into the plastic bag containing food, you clicked on the map and started looking for a new world on the bird.
After following the map to find several "new worlds", you still haven't found the right place.
In the end, you can only rely on the system records to awaken the memories deep in the cat man's mind——
"Oh oh old world old world, found it, Meili Hat, let's gogogo!"
Following the map, you fell from the sky and stopped in front of a store. A sign with the store name written in blue fonts hung quietly on the wall. Because you arrived too early, the decorative neon lights were still on, and from time to time they made crackling sounds.
It turns out to be an old billiard bar. You thought it was a bar. No wonder you couldn't find it after searching for so long. Hehe~
"Excuse me——"
You open the door and step into the store.
The next second, five guns are pointed at you.
Before you can react, the Ichimonji Norimune you have bagged has already flown out and pecked the nearest person's head hard.
Sonroku Kenmoto, holding his shrunken original sword in his mouth - why he could bring out his original sword, Catman didn't know - rushed towards the person in the corner.
"Aa ...
"Cold-blooded, your leg was bitten, do you need treatment?"
"...No, it's a good dog." The man with a bleeding leg picked up the knife on the ground without changing his expression. "It won't break or bend, and it can still kill... It's a good knife."
You scratched your ear without realizing you were the source of the chaos, turned to look at the man in the black coat, and spoke in the tone of an honest worker: "Are you referring to the customer who named Catman... er, that... Albatross?"
"Albatross?" The person you were asking raised an eyebrow. He moved his fingers, and the piano strings that had been spread all around you without you noticing were retracted. "Albatross, did you call him?"
Oh my god, piano wire! Your eyes widened. What a cool weapon, it's totally comparable to the specialty fishing line of Rice Krispies.
Want to learn——
After finally catching the sunflower parrot and saving his hair from its claws, the albatross slowly exhaled a breath. He looked at the yellow parrot in his hand and wondered, "Why does it hurt so much when this bird bites me?"
Ichimonji Norimune easily breaks free from the albatross's grasp, and it flies back, landing on your head, and shakes its feathers gracefully.
Hmm... You look away guiltily, maybe this is the blow of the katana.
Sonroku Kenmoto was in more trouble because his original sword was in someone else's hands - but the battle-hardened sword master quickly found a chance to take the original sword back.
After growling at the man in the corner, he tried hard to tame the dog's limbs and run towards you - after all, in the pet shop before, Sonroku Kenmoto didn't move much, either lying down or lying down.
So you only now realize that the other party has not yet completely tamed the new limbs.
But it doesn't matter. In the future, let Sun Liuduo come out and run the business with Rambo so that he can get familiar with the body.
“Hey, I called him.” Albatross said with a playful smile, “Isn’t that gift enough? This guy is a famous underground bartender recently. Let him mix a drink for Chuuya. Then you will definitely see a more exciting expression on Chuuya’s face.”
"Bartender?"
The man in the black coat scanned you from head to toe. Although he didn't say anything, you could tell from his eyes that he didn't trust the cat man's craftsmanship.
Hey--
You little cat is getting angry.
You rolled up your sleeves, switched careers on the spot, and used a glowing frying pan to cook a luxurious breakfast of five dishes and one soup for the five people present - of course, you did not forget to make puppy bowls and bird bowls for the two accompanying people.
The five people sitting around the table looked at the glowing food, looking at each other, and it felt like a dream.
"It's not poisonous." The doctor, who was hanging the IV, replied weakly, "It's healthy food."
"I didn't use my special powers." A rare moment of emotion appeared on his cold-blooded face. "...Can I eat it now?"
"Haha, then I..." Albatross quickly snatched the dish he liked, "Let me taste it for you first... Hmm, it's delicious!"
"Is it cheating to use piano wire to steal food?"
“Hehehe… this is also a place of victory and defeat.”
"Wow, that's too much... leave some of this for me!"
That's right.
You nodded in satisfaction and let out a strange chuckle. No one would not fall at the feet of Master Cat's white apron after eating hq food.
After eating your food, several people have gained confidence in your bartending skills and are looking forward to your next performance.
"Please use——"
You pushed the cocktail that you developed in Honmaru last night, which both Hasebe and Nagamitsu said was good after drinking it - I don't know why these two went to the toilet to vomit in the middle of the night, but it must not be the alcohol - in front of a few people.
After you carefully insert the lemon slice into the rim of the cup, you straighten your chest and raise your head, and confidently introduce it: "This is a masterpiece of the cat's craftsmanship. The cat calls it 'free dust floating freely in the colorful night'."
The cup was filled with a viscous liquid that was as black and colorful as oil, and gray particles of varying sizes that shone in the light, like mold, rose and fell in the water - if this wasn't a cocktail, they would praise it as a work of art.
But this is a glass of wine...
The people in the flag club looked at each other, and the enthusiasm for grabbing food disappeared without a trace in an instant. At this moment, everyone was the most humble person in the world.
"Albatross, isn't this the man you invited? You must be eager to taste his cooking skills. Go ahead."
"Doesn't the pianist like black and white? Or would he like this drink too?"
"Hehe, those who haven't eaten enough come and drink."
"No, isn't this a gift for Chuuya?"
"...Are you really going to give this to Chuuya?"
“Hahaha, Chuuya’s expression will be funnier if I drink this, right?”
…
Finally, Qi Hui said that the cocktails were mixed very well, and next time they have living enemies, they will definitely ask you to mix cocktails again. Forget it today, just cook some dishes for everyone.
Originally you wanted to turn around and leave - you didn't want to cook for these guys who don't understand your cocktails and have no taste - but when they asked you to buy drinks, a yellow exclamation mark suddenly popped up on the head of the NPC named Albatross.
It tastes like a normal side quest!
Oh my god, you haven't seen this thing for half a month!
Just running errands, and you've unblocked the "toilet" of Yokohama!
