Chapter 16
As he had little energy left, Xia Mo immediately stepped into the alley next to the blacksmith shop.
More than ten seconds later, she came out from the other end of the alley.
"Aunt Nina, good evening~"
Seeing that the light in the tailor shop was still on, Xia Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the tailor shop was still closed and she still had a chance.
Aunt Nina, who had finished her last wave of business, raised her eyelids and said, "It's you, young man. I remember you came here this morning."
Xia Mo nodded with a smile: "Yes, Aunt Nina, you have a good memory. I did expand my backpack by 40 slots this morning."
"Well, I remember I gave you a discount~" Aunt Nina suddenly realized and looked at her with a smile. "Why did you come to see me so late?"
Xia Mo lowered his eyes and hesitated for a long time before speaking a little embarrassedly, "To be honest, Aunt Nina, I need to stay in Bullo Town tonight, but I don't know which hotel is cheap. After thinking about it, Aunt Nina, you are the best person, so I wanted to ask you."
During the day, because of expanding her backpack, she unexpectedly gained 5 points of favorability from Aunt Nina. Based on her experience in her previous life, Aunt Nina should be willing to help her.
Sure enough, within seconds of Xia Mo finishing his words, he heard the person in front of him reply, "Hey, young man, you've come to the right person. There's nothing in Buluo Town that Aunt Nina doesn't know about. I know a hotel that's having a special offer lately. If you don't mind, come with me. I'm closing up shop soon."
"Thank you so much! Aunt Nina, you are such a nice person!" Xia Mo curved his eyebrows and offered his most sincere gratitude.
[Gain Aunt Nina's Favorability +1]
Aunt Nina would like to give you a hat. Would you like to accept it?
hat?
Xia Mo was already quite satisfied with being able to gain 1 point of favorability, but who knew he would gain something new.
Xia Mo didn't click immediately. Instead, he looked through the floating frame in the air and looked at Aunt Nina who was packing up her stall: "Aunt Nina, would you like to give me a hat?"
"Yes, young man, I see that your clothes are nice, but you don't have a good hat to match them. I happen to have a newly finished hat here that will suit you very well. If you don't mind, please accept it."
Of course I don’t mind!
Xia Mo was surprised.
Even though Aunt Nina is just an NPC in a remote town, her tailor title has actually reached a high level, higher than some tailors in the royal city!
Therefore, the quality of items that pass through her hands is only high and not low!
He couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart. After saying thank you, Xia Mo accepted it expectantly, and a small box popped up.
[Receive the [Northern Germany Fox Hat] from Aunt Nina]
Name: Nordland Fox Hat
Quality: First-grade silver
Durability: 100
General attributes: Health +32, Intelligence +8, Physical Defense +5, Spell Defense +5
Special attributes: None
Another first-tier silver item!!
Xia Mo opened his eyes slightly and stared at the attributes on the hat in surprise.
Although it was of the same level as the robe Quinn gave her, their directions were completely different.
The robe is mainly responsible for increasing her spell attack, and other attributes are added less. Perhaps to make up for this, the robe comes with a special attribute [Star Shift].
However, the hat given by Aunt Nina does not increase her attack much, but increases her character's health (that is, health points), while also taking into account a little bit of magic and physical defense.
Although it didn't have any special attributes, she made a fortune just for the [Health +32]!
1 point of health can increase 10 points of life (HP). This hat adds 32 points of health, which means 320 points of life!
You should know that now you can only gain 150 points of life expansion by leveling up 1, but she now has 320 points of life, which is equivalent to jumping 2 levels in a row, and she is directly ahead of all the players.
Feeling that he had gotten a great bargain, Xia Mo felt embarrassed to get something for free, so he quickly took out the few 15 silver coins in his wallet and handed them to the other party.
Aunt Nina saw this and shook her head, pushing him away. "No, since I said I was giving it to you, I can't possibly take your money. Young man, keep the money. Won't you need it to pay for your accommodation later?"
Aunt Nina said as she finished packing up the shop. She pulled down the curtain, then turned and pointed to a small house at the end of the street. "That hotel has the cheapest price. Come with me."
【Haru Exotic Pet Hotel】
Xia Mo raised his eyes and noticed the words "exotic pet" on the wooden sign.
She had never stayed in this hotel in her previous life, but she heard from Xu Xiaobei and others that the reason this hotel was cheap was because the owner liked to keep all kinds of strange pets, such as lizards, spiders, poisonous snakes, etc.
Every night, the boss lets them out for a ride.
As a result, the players staying there were attacked in the middle of the night. When they woke up the next morning, they found that their life bars were empty and had to be resurrected.
As mentioned before, dying before level 10 doesn't have much of an impact, you just have to run back from the resurrection point. But if you die unfairly after level 10, the player will have both experience and coins deducted, which is really a big deal.
Over time, this hotel's business will naturally be poor, and its prices will naturally be cheaper than other hotels.
Xia Mo didn't expect that Aunt Nina would bring her to such a place.
But she quickly dismissed the thought after just this thought. After all, she was asking for help, and Aunt Nina was very kind to bring her here. She had no right to complain.
Silently followed the other party into the hotel.
Two rows of boxes of different sizes came into view. The boxes were filled with creatures of various colors, some of which Xia Mo couldn't even name. It was obvious that the hotel owner loved collecting these treasures.
"Haru, there are guests!"
Aunt Nina walked to the front desk and rudely rang the bell next to her.
A figure emerged from the small door nearby.
"Oh, it's Aunt Nina. Are you going to stay in my inn?"
Aunt Nina rolled her eyes. "Why should I stay here? Isn't this just to introduce you to other guests? Look at how slow your hotel is. If things keep going like this, how can you even support yourself?"
"I can support them, I can support them. If it doesn't work out, I'll sell this hotel for money and travel around with my pets." The owner, Haru, rubbed his hands and laughed.
Xia Mo noticed that there was a circle of snakes wrapped around Haru's neck. The snakes were quite close to him. It was obvious that Haru took good care of them.
When Aunt Nina heard him say he wanted to sell the house, she immediately put her hands on her hips and said, "What are you selling? This house was left to you by your parents. I'm telling you, since your parents entrusted you to me before they died, I, Aunt Nina, will not ignore you! If one day your hotel really can't survive, just come to me and I'll definitely give you a meal."
"Okay, let's get serious. This young woman wants to stay here tonight. Tell her the price and room. I won't stay here anymore. I'm going back first."
Xia Mo nodded quickly and said goodbye politely.
Haru turned around, picked up a sign, and showed her the prices. "You are Aunt Nina's guest. All rooms are available at a special price today. Take a look at the price list and the corresponding rooms and pick one for yourself."
"Okay, thank you. I'll take a look."
Xia Mo took the sign and looked down at it.
As her eyes scanned the prices one by one, the corners of her mouth gradually rose.
This is one of the conditions for enjoying the special price housing - knowing any well-known NPC in the town of Buluo and maintaining a good relationship with him.
Aunt Nina is a rare senior tailor and a famous figure in the town, and she has 6 points of favorability with her, so she judged that she could stay in the special price room through Aunt Nina.
"Mr. Haru, I'll take this room."
Although they are all marked as special offers, there are still differences between special offers. Xia Mo chose the cheapest single room, which only cost 2 silver coins a night and included breakfast.
Upon hearing this, Haru did not look at her with prejudice because she chose the cheapest one, but still politely led her upstairs.
After moving into the room, she only had 10 points of stamina left.
Xia Mo didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly went to bed to rest.
At the same time, the holographic cabin clicked, and the light blue arched glass door slowly opened from bottom to top.
Xia Mo opened his eyes, pulled out the tube connecting to his spiritual body on his solar plexus, stood up, and crawled out.
The time in "Protoss" is synchronized with reality. It is night in the game and the same is true in reality.
Xia Mo pressed his slightly tired brows and decided to take a shower first and check that thing after coming out.
In the narrow honeycomb room, the space for taking a bath was only enough for her to turn around, but fortunately, in the technological age, the people of Alman no longer needed to take a bath by themselves.
She just needs to stand in the shower area and press the flush button, and clean water will automatically spray out around the honeycomb room.
However, the amount of clean water is very small, and each spraying will be finished in half a minute.
If you want to continue using it, you must click the [Renew] button next to it.
Xia Mo never used this function because she knew that once she pressed it, she would have to work without food or drink in Jiluo District for a year to pay off the high renewal debt.
Yes, on the planet Alman where she lives, water is an extremely precious resource.
Since Alman does not produce water on its own, all water must be transported from other planets. The Alman government imposes strict restrictions on any place where people need water.
Oh except for the people at the very top.
As a privileged class, they always enjoy some more rights than ordinary people.
Xia Mo didn’t know if this setting was correct, but she always felt that the world shouldn’t be like this.
However, as an ordinary person who lost both parents and has no background, Xia Mo knew that he could not interfere no matter how the world was going.
I still only rinsed for half a minute, and since I didn't choose to renew, the honeycomb room automatically turned on the drying mode.
30 seconds later, she emerged from the honeycomb, her body dry.
As far as the eye can see, the room is only slightly larger than a honeycomb room for showering. Apart from a holographic cabin, the rest of the space is filled with furniture.
However, as for furniture, it was actually just a 1-meter-wide metal folding bed, a wooden table with missing legs, and a folding chair that had been worn so much that its original color could no longer be seen.
These constitute all her belongings.
Xia Mo had long been accustomed to this kind of life. She squeezed sideways to the chair and was about to sit down. Suddenly, she looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar chair in front of her and remembered something.
In her previous life, she was also planning to sit on this chair, but she forgot that the chair was too old. As soon as she touched the seat, the chair fell apart.
The scene of falling on my butt seems to be vivid in my mind.
Xia Mo's mouth twitched, and this time, he decided to leave the folding chair intact.
She folded the chair and stuffed it into the gap between the table and the wall, then squatted in front of the computer.
She had just finished the college entrance examination at that time, and the optical computer she used was a second-hand one she bought cheaply in high school. It was now broken, but because she had no money to buy a new one, she had been making do with the old computer.
Xia Mo skillfully logged into the Alman Star Network and typed in the word [consciousness].
She did not forget how she died in the game in her previous life - her mind was crushed by the gods.
But [consciousness] is just a concept that exists in the game. In a popular sense, it refers to the soul and consciousness of the game character. Why did the crushing of this thing directly lead to her rebirth in reality?
Xia Mo's intuition told him that there was probably some connection between them.
The search results pop up just right on the screen with low resolution.
[Shenzhi: shenzhi, an ancient Blue Star word, refers to a person's spirit, perception, and reason.]
This is the only useful explanation I have, and it was copied from an electronic dictionary.
This is not what Xia Mo wants.
He slid the bar down and turned the pages, but even after reaching page 5, Xia Mo still didn't find any information related to the consciousness of "The Protoss".
Maybe it's because the server has been open for too short a time and many things have not been made public yet. Thinking of this, Xia Mo decided to put this matter aside for now. After all, the war would not happen until 5 years later.
She is not in a hurry.
After closing the computer, the only thing left on the small desktop was a photo frame standing prominently.
Although he has been watching it for many years, Xia Mo never gets bored.
In the photo, a handsome man is hugging a beautiful and generous woman. The man is grinning and laughing heartily. The woman is caught off guard by the hug, and her face shows a bit of shyness and a bit of anger.
The woman reached out and grabbed the man's ear, her mouth slightly open, as if teaching the man who was hugging her a lesson.
The man is not afraid of being taught a lesson, and his eyes are grinning brightly.
Click, the picture freezes here.
The elegance of the two young men and women at their peak was thus recorded.
Xia Mo held the photo frame and slowly stroked the faces of the two people with his fingertips.
A beam of moonlight shone in from the window, reminding her that it was already late at night.
She looked at the two people calmly, and finally put the photo down, turned around, unfolded the folding bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
*
In the game, two unknown players are standing in front of Haru Hotel.
"Ice, do you want to go in and ask?" A male player dressed as an assassin couldn't help but stick his neck out, looking eagerly at the rooms in the hotel.
The male hunter named Thirty-Seven Degree Ice Cube sighed softly: "Let's go and ask first."
This was already the fifth hotel they had checked with, and the prices at the first four were ridiculously high, which made their already tight wallets even tighter.
To make matters worse, both of their physical strength has reached the critical point. If they don't rest, they may face the punishment of fainting or sudden death.
A few days ago, a player committed suicide by deliberately exhausting his stamina.
I thought sudden death was the same as any other way of dying, and at worst I could just be resurrected. However, after that person resurrected with one click, I discovered that the [Constitution] in the character panel had decreased!
The news spread on the world channel, immediately causing panic among some players.
Although most people don't understand the importance of [Constitution], the thought that it might be reduced due to sudden death suddenly raises their vigilance.
Since then, some players who don't take physical strength seriously have restrained their arrogance and behaved in a despicable manner. As soon as they find that their physical strength has dropped to the critical value, they will immediately rest on the spot.
Thirty-seven degree ice and its friend, forty-eight degree boiling water, are among those who rested.
However, he never expected that in this game there would even be requirements for resting places!
Sleeping in the wild is not an option, as monsters following the smell will attack you in the middle of the night. Sleeping in a small town is also not an option, as patrols are constantly being carried out. If you are spotted by a patrol and don't leave within 5 minutes of being driven away, you will be arrested and thrown into the town jail for a day...
In order to avoid spending money on sleeping, he slept with boiling water and even in the sewer!
Who knew that when I woke up, my wallet had been stolen!
Afterwards, they each received a temporary title: [Sleep-Deprived Person].
This title requires that if the player fails to make up for the sleep in the next 7 days, on the eighth day, the system will still deduct the player's [Constitution] as a punishment.
Not only did he lose his money, but he also felt a headache when he thought about having his [Constitution] points deducted.
This attribute does not seem to be important at the moment, because none of their equipment, weapons or potions have any attributes related to [Constitution].
Because of this, many players discussed on the world channel, saying that [Constitution] is likely to be the attribute with the least impact, and it doesn't matter even if it is deducted a little.
But his intuition told him that it was not that simple.
If possible, he still hopes to avoid having his [Constitution] deducted as much as possible.
So I discussed it with Feishui and decided to pay for hotel accommodation from today on.
But... who would have thought that the price of a hotel in a remote town would start at 10 silver coins!
Although there are special room rates, the problem is that the hotel owners refuse to provide them.
The question is whether you meet the requirements. You have to meet them to qualify.
This is really difficult.
He checked the forum and found that the conditions required by the hotel owners were different and the players had no specific conclusion.
He had no other choice but to try it with Boiling Water because he saw a female star official staying in the hotel under the guidance of an NPC.
Give it a try, maybe your bicycle will turn into a motorcycle.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and entered the store.
Unexpectedly, as soon as people stepped in, suddenly, all kinds of strange hissing and roaring sounds, and even the scratching sounds of claws were heard in the store.
"Oh my god, monster!"
Seeing the boxes on both sides, Feishui jumped three times in shock. "What the hell? They're raising monsters in this town?"
Bingkuai quickly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Don't shout. This is an NPC store."
No matter how bizarre the style was, they could not show any resistance. After all, they had just seen with their own eyes during the day how miserable the fate of players who offended the NPCs was.
Hearing his reminder, Boiling Water quickly covered his mouth, then blinked and watched nervously.
Soon, an NPC with the words "Innkeeper: Haru" on his head came out and asked, "Would you two like to stay at the hotel?"
"Yes, sir," Ice Cube bowed politely, "We would like to ask what your prices are."
Hearing this, the other party took out a sign and handed it to him: "Look at this."
He took the ice cube, lowered his head, and boiling water came up quickly.
"Not bad, the price is much lower than other places! Only 6 silver coins a night, and breakfast is included!" Boiling Water said in surprise.
Ice Cube nodded: "It is indeed cheaper than the ones we asked about."
He was about to pay when the boiling water beside him suddenly made a sound and flipped his sign over. "Look, ice cubes, the price here is even lower! Boss, why are you putting two different prices on the same room?"
When asked, Haru stroked the python around his neck and replied, "That's a special offer room. Do you meet the requirements?"
Conditions...conditions again.
Ice Cube gritted his teeth and decided to bravely ask, "Dear Mr. Haru, we've been asking all along, and the hotel owner has told us that we need to meet certain conditions, but... we really don't understand what these conditions are. Could you please tell us?"
Haru raised his eyelids and glanced at the person in front of him who was not wearing enough clothes.
"The simplest condition is that you need to gain enough favorability from the townspeople and have them become your referrals. Do you have it?"
Favorability...
Bingkuai thought about it silently, and his brows gradually frowned.
"Sorry, our relationship with the townspeople seems to be average." He lowered his eyes and answered truthfully.
Haru continued to touch the snake on his neck. "Then there's nothing we can do. This condition is simple. If you can't even meet this, then the others are certainly not in line with it. My two guests, do you still want to stay in the hotel?"
Ice Cube clenched his fists and was about to answer when the boiling water beside him suddenly spoke up, interrupting him: "Boss, can you tell me about the second condition? What if we really meet it?"
Haru looked at the two of them strangely, then pointed upstairs and said, "Okay, if you two know each other and your friendship level is over 100, I can give you a special room."
The guests above?
Bingkuai was stunned for two seconds, then realized that this condition was indeed not acceptable. He sighed and had to continue taking out the money, gritting his teeth to pay the six silver coins.
Beside him, the sound of boiling water suddenly interrupted him: "Okay, boss, please wait a moment, we will get back to you!"
As he said that, he picked up the ice and walked out.
"I have a solution!" As soon as they left the hotel, Boiling Water said to him with shining eyes.
Ice Cube was suspicious: "What method?"
Boiling Water: "Apply to add that female celebrity as your official friend!"
"What if she doesn't agree?"
Boiling Water: "If you disagree, I'll bombard you!"
Ice Cube: ...
"Isn't this a bit bad?"
Boiling Water immediately raised his voice: "What's wrong with that? It's just adding a friend in the game, it's normal!"
Bingkuai shook his head, still feeling that something was wrong: "No, she's already asleep. Even if we send a message, she won't be able to see it."
"Oh, that's not necessarily true." Suddenly, Boiling Water revealed a sly expression. "You forget, even if we exit the game and the holographic cabin, the holographic cabin is still running and receiving all kinds of game information, including my friend requests."
Hearing the sound, Ice Cube was stunned.
"So what you're saying is... we repeatedly send friend requests, causing the holographic cabin to constantly emit notification sounds, thus waking her up in reality and allowing her to enter the game to process our messages?"
This trick was so mean that Ice Cube's expression became extremely unnatural after he said it.
But Boiling Water didn't care about that. He nodded proudly and gave his friend a thumbs up: "Not bad! That's what I mean."
Ice Cube took a deep breath.
He thought about it and was about to find another reason to refute and stop the boiling water's stupid idea.
However, before he could say anything else, the latter had already opened the friend request interface with an excited look on his face.
"Hiss, her ID seems to be Mo Se? She's a star official. Let me try..."
As he spoke, he typed his ID, and the next moment, he suddenly jumped up from the spot!
"Ahahaha, it's really her! Found her!"
His fingers clicked frantically on [Add Friend], as if he wouldn't stop until he woke the other person up.
Bingkuai stood by, looking at his bad friend with an indescribable look, and tapped his finger at least 20 times before he calmed down.
I feel more and more uneasy.
In order to save these 5 silver coins, is it really worth it for them to take such a risk?
*
On the folding bed, Xia Mo was awakened by the ringing sounds from the holographic cabin.
She sat up with a headache.
The second thing I forgot after my rebirth was that I didn’t adjust the holographic cabin to silent mode.
Her only friend at the moment is Qingshui, and given his personality, he would never rashly disturb her.
Could it be Xu Xiaobei and the others?
No, it’s even more impossible, Xia Mo’s eyes turned cold.
In Xu Xiaobei's heart, she will always be a proud peacock, and she will never lower her proud head for others.
Apart from them, Xia Mo couldn't think of anyone else who would look for her desperately, so she had to get out of bed, lie down in the holographic cabin, connect the tube to the sun, and close her eyes.
There was a flash of white before her eyes, and she was back in her hotel room.
The friend request icon on the lower left side kept flashing, and she clicked it with an unhappy look on her face.
"48 Degrees Boiling Water" wants to add you as a friend. Do you agree?
"48 Degrees Boiling Water" wants to add you as a friend. Do you agree?
"48 Degrees Boiling Water" wants to add you as a friend. Do you agree?
…
There are 28 items in total.
Moreover, it is still being sent continuously at the moment.
Xia Mo frowned and let him pass.
On the other side, at the hotel entrance, Ice Cube, who had already given up hope, sighed: "Forget about boiling water, they might have already fallen asleep, let's not disturb them."
Boiling Water, who had already sent 32 friend requests, finally stopped.
But even though he stopped, the expression on his face clearly showed his reluctance.
"Ice Cube, don't you know how broke we are right now? One night's stay costs six silver coins. Six whole silver coins! I'm really scared that if I fall asleep tonight, I'll be broke tomorrow!"
"I know..." Ice looked at him and sighed helplessly, "If we hadn't been touched by that group of people, we would be now..." How could we be in this state?
He found it difficult to say the second half of the sentence, but how could the boiling water not understand what he meant?
"Damn it! If I find out who stole our wallets, I'll skin him alive!"
Suddenly, as I was feeling angry, I heard a dinging sound in my ears, which sounded particularly crisp in the dark and windless night.
The boiling water expression that was curtly greeting the thief's ancestors suddenly froze.
He reached out his hand in disbelief and clicked on his friend's reply. Then, after seeing the prompt clearly, his eyes widened instantly.
"Fuck Ice Cube, that female star official approved my application!!!"
Unfortunately, just a few seconds after the excitement, Boiling Water received three messages from the other party.
[Ink color: Report your family background and give your reasons]
[Ink color: Unable to speak, blacklisted]
[Ink: 1 minute limit, starts now]
“Ahhhh!! Why is it only 1 minute!!!”
Boiling water suddenly panicked, and the words he had prepared became a mess at this moment.
He tapped on the keyboard and hit delete, but 30 seconds passed and he didn't fart.
"It's over, Ice! Come help me! My hands are so clumsy I can't even type!"
This opportunity, which I had fought so hard for, must not be lost in vain! The boiling water kept wailing, its cries seeming to shake the heavens and the earth.
Xia Mo lived on the second floor. While waiting for the other party's reply, he suddenly heard bursts of ghostly howling coming from downstairs.
With a sullen face, she walked to the window, gently parted the curtains, and looked down.
Forty-eight degrees boiling water?
After seeing the ID of the howler below, her eyebrows raised slightly, and she suddenly understood.
At the hotel entrance, Ice Cube, whose head was aching from the noise of boiling water, looked hopeless.
"My friend, could you please stop crying?"
"If you keep crying, the hotel owner might kick us out. Do you want to sleep in the sewers and have your bag groped again?"
As soon as the sewer and wallet were mentioned, Boiling Water stopped crying instantly.
He pursed his lips, his eyes filled with sorrow and misery: "Hmm, have you finished replying?"
Bingkuai looked at the explanation he had come up with in a split second and pressed the enter key: "I've replied. The rest is up to fate."
If there is really no other option, you can only bear the pain and spend a huge amount of money!
Just as they were clenching their fists in thought, suddenly, a voice sounded behind them.
"Come in, you two. Someone has proven that you meet the requirements."
What? !
The ice and boiling water looked at each other in confusion.
Although they didn't know what was going on, they followed in half-confused and half-surprised when they heard that the requirements were met.
On the first floor of the hotel, a female player was staring at them with a sullen face.
As soon as they saw the ID above her head, Ice Cube and Boiling Water immediately understood the reason.
"...Um, thank you...for taking the time out of your busy schedule to help us." Ice Cube looked apologetic and lowered his head sincerely.
However, the person in front of him ignored him.
Ice Cube coughed twice awkwardly and closed his mouth.
The innkeeper, Haru, stood between them and extended his hand. "Send me a screenshot of your 100-point friendship score."
The two were stunned.
Oops, I was so focused on adding friends that I forgot the friend level must be over 100!
100 points, where can they get it temporarily?
Feishui panicked and made a face at his brother: "...Brother, think of a solution!"
Bingkuai also stared at him speechlessly, gritted his teeth and whispered, "What can I do? Friendship points don't just appear when you want them. They need to be increased through regular chatting!"
It's over, there's nothing we can do.
When Boiling Water heard this, his heart suddenly turned cold.
They worked so hard for a long time, but ended up getting nothing!
"You haven't posted the screenshot yet?"
The two were struggling when they suddenly heard the female star official in front of them ask a question calmly.
They both looked up at the same time, somewhat confused as to what she meant.
Xia Mo was speechless. She really didn't want to waste time, so she said bluntly: "I just gave you 10 roses. Now your friend level should be over 100. Take a screenshot quickly. I need to go back and rest."
She had only slept for over an hour and her stamina had only recovered to 35 points. She just wanted to finish quickly and go back.
Hearing her words, the ice and boiling water stared in surprise!
Roses!
She actually gave them roses to increase their friendship level!!
The boiling water really became boiling water. He clicked on the friend box with an ecstatic look on his face, and saw that the friendship level, which was 0 at the beginning, had really increased to 100 after receiving the roses!
"Ahhh, thank you Mo Se! You are truly one-of-a-kind and the best person in the world!" Boiling Water opened his round eyes and licked his lips excitedly.
Ice Cube also looked at her in astonishment, with gratitude flowing in his eyes.
"Thank you so much," he said sincerely. "However, the market price of roses is 1.2 silver coins each, so 10 roses is 12 silver coins... This amount... is a bit difficult for us to pay back right now, but please believe me, we will definitely pay you back in the future."
I disturbed others late at night and took advantage of them. There is no way I can ask them to pay for it again.
Bingkuai knew that repaying the 12 silver coins would be difficult given their current financial resources, but if they couldn't pay it back today, they could do it tomorrow. If not tomorrow, they could do it the day after tomorrow! He had to make it clear that he was ready to pay it back, otherwise they would be freeloaders.
Looking at the determined eyes of the person in front of him, Xia Mo waved his hand casually: "You can pay as you like. If you really want to thank me, I have some special requests."
Ice cube's throat rolled: "...What request?"
Xia Mo glanced at their respective equipment and said, "You two are a ranged hunter and a melee assassin. These two professions are very popular in dungeons. So my request is that if I am short of people for a dungeon in the future, you two must come when I call you. Understand?"
The ice cube froze in shock, and the boiling water beside him blinked, a look of disbelief on its face.
Oh my god, what kind of request is this?
This is obviously good for them, okay?!
The opponent is level 8, and they are level 6 and 7 respectively. Although their levels are not too bad, compared with others, it is obvious that the opponent is at a disadvantage and they are at a benefit!
If they don't agree to this, they would be really ungrateful!
Realizing that they had gotten another great deal, the ice and boiling water nodded hurriedly.
"Okay! We agree to your request!"
Only then did Xia Mo go upstairs yawning.
Back inside, she checked her wallet.
After deducting the money for expanding her backpack, transferring the map, paying for accommodation, and the 12 silver coins she just gave out for free, she now has more than 120 silver coins left in her account.
Not much, but enough.
In fact, she didn't feel bad about throwing away the 12 silver coins.
On the contrary, she felt that the money was well spent.
After being reborn, she completely cut off contact with Xu Xiaobei and the others. However, after this break in contact, she realized how many opportunities to make friends with others she had wasted in her previous life because of these three ungrateful people.
Xu Xiaobei said they wanted to level up, so she rejected other people's invitations to join the team and spent the whole day with the three of them to kill monsters.
When Xiaoyu said she couldn't complete the priest mission, she put down the important things at hand and personally took her to run the route until Xiaoyu passed it.
Yao He was short of equipment and came to her for help. For the sake of her friend, she even gave up the opportunity to clear the dungeon for the first time and tried to find a way to get him the right equipment.
She thought that this was how friends should be, helping each other and exchanging courtesies.
However, it was not until the moment of her death that she suddenly realized that from the very beginning, they had never thought of helping her. Instead, they stuck to her like a leech, demanding things until they squeezed out every last drop of value from her.
Friends have lost their original meaning to her.
For her now, as long as an exchange of interests can be reached, he can become her temporary partner.
So, if she could buy the obedience of two people with 12 silver coins, why wouldn't she do it?
Lying back on the bed, Xia Mo closed his eyes and quit the game.
The next morning at 5 o'clock, Xia Mo got up on time.
Five years of military school life and gaming career have already formed an unshakable biological clock for her.
She quickly washed up in the hive room and re-entered the holographic cabin.
One hour of sleep can restore about 15-20 points of physical strength. Excluding the accident with the 48-degree boiling water last night, she slept for a total of 5 hours and 26 minutes, which was enough to restore her physical strength to full.
Just as she was about to jump off the bed, she suddenly moved her ears and there seemed to be some movement under the bed.
There was a rustling sound, as if a wild beast was gnawing on food.
Years of gaming experience have enabled her to react calmly and quickly when faced with something unusual.
Realizing that there was another creature under the bed, Xia Mo supported himself on the bed with one hand and turned over to the ground.
But the moment she landed, she did not look under the bed to see what was there, but quickly reached in with her Star Wand and swept it!
boom!
A white cross-shaped star exploded under the bed.
The bed was overturned and a small four-legged creature was blown out.
“Meow—!”
The four-legged creature flipped twice in the air and then landed on the ground. Its hair exploded and its upside-down golden pupils were filled with hostility towards her.
"Cat?" Xia Mo stared at it and narrowed his eyes.
There are no cats in the town of Bullo, so how could such a creature get into her room?
Could it be that it was raised by Haru?
Very likely.
The other party likes to raise strange creatures, so it is not uncommon for him to raise a cat that looks like a little leopard.
only……
Because this guy blew away the bed in the room, she would probably have to pay out the money again.
I was thinking about how to discuss the compensation issue.
Crunch——
The door of the room was pushed open.
The little guy, whose fur was standing on end, was startled and tried to run out of the window.
Xia Mo quickly closed the window, preventing it from escaping.
The little guy was so angry that his limbs and claws were covered with blood, and he kept breathing at her.
Across from him, the person who pushed the door open was none other than Haru.
"Oh my God! Look what you've done!"
Looking at the bed that was blown to pieces, Haru was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
Xia Mo:...No, listen to me!
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and briefly explained what had happened. Finally, she added, "Don't worry, Mr. Haru. I will compensate you in full for the bed. I will not let you suffer any loss."
Hearing that she was willing to pay compensation, Haru's trembling heart finally calmed down.
"Well, it's not your fault. I often let the little ones out for rides, and unsuspecting guests can get easily frightened. However."
Suddenly, he changed the subject and stared at the little guy with a suspicious frown.
"When did I ever have a cat?"
Xia Mo: "Have you never raised one?"
Haru took another closer look, then shook his head vigorously: "I haven't raised one, I'm sure."
"I remember all the animals I've raised, but this is the first time I've seen a cat of this breed."
Xia Mo raised his eyebrows slightly.
If it wasn't raised by Haru, then how could it...
Her eyes moved back and forth on the little guy, and suddenly, after seeing the hair on its hind legs coagulated with blood, she immediately realized something.
"You look injured, don't you?"
She squatted down and her tone became calm.
The little fellow, who was only the size of a palm, still stared at her with vigilance, but this time, he didn't breathe on her.
Xia Mo: "I'm sorry, I didn't know your hind leg was injured. I hit you too hard just now. I have a bottle of red medicine here to restore your health. Do you want to try it?"
As he spoke, he took out a small bottle of red medicine from his backpack, uncorked it, and gently pushed it in front of it.
The little guy twitched his ears and took a tentative step forward with his front legs. When he felt that she meant no harm, he limped forward and frantically licked the potion in the bottle.
[朏朏 has a favorable impression of you, gaining loyalty +1]
朏朏?
Xia Mo was surprised for a moment.
What kind of cat is this? She has never heard of it.
And then there's the loyalty that follows...
Xia Mo's heart trembled involuntarily.
In "Protoss", only battle pets have loyalty to their masters.
However, the battle pet function will not be unlocked until the first player leaves the novice village. At this stage, players are still wandering around in the town of Buluo. How can she gain loyalty if the function is not unlocked?
Wait! There seems to be an exception!
A light bulb went off in Xia Mo's head.
If it is that type of battle pet, it can indeed be trained in advance!
After realizing what the little guy in front of him was, Xia Mo felt as if the blood in his body was boiling.
