Chapter 101 Chicken
The next morning, the sky over Garden Town was covered with dark clouds.
However, Huo Xiu waited for several hours, but the pervert did not come online.
Huo Xiu lowered his eyes.
There is a barrier between NPCs and players.
Kaka can freely choose whether to enter the virtual world, but he can only stay in it and cannot even leave the garden.
He dug up more lilies. Although he didn't have that many seeds at the moment, he would always need them later.
The seeds planted a few days ago have sprouted one after another. Each plant is tender and green, which is pleasing to the eye.
Their growth cycle was much faster than he thought. The Chinese cabbage, which required the shortest cycle, could mature in three days.
In comparison, eggplant's growth cycle is much slower, but the crop can produce fruit continuously.
At this moment, another player completed the peripheral mission and successfully entered the Lily Garden.
"I'm finally here! I've been grinding for eight days now, since the first update!"
Huo Xiu stood up straight and looked at him from a distance.
The player still had a human body, but the butterfly wings growing from his back were very recognizable.
Its wings are mainly black, with two long tail protrusions, and a row of white spots arranged from large to small on the outer edge of the forewings.
——Swallowtail butterfly.
This word suddenly appeared in Huo Xiu's mind.
"Are you... Papilio?" Huo Xiu asked.
The player obviously didn't expect that the male insect rated as the most difficult to deal with would actually take the initiative to talk to him. He was flattered and his whole face turned red.
"Yes, sir! My dominant insect species is the Jade-banded Swallowtail butterfly!"
He looked at Huo Xiu with sparkling eyes, as if expecting this gentleman to say something else.
"Dominant insect species?" Huo Xiu asked.
"Yes, sir. The Zerg have survived to this day, and their bloodline is complex. They likely carry some genes from all Zerg species. The Zerg characteristics that emerge after atavism are our dominant species."
As he spoke, he landed gently on the ground, then turned around and showed his wings to you.
"I am a typical Jade-belt Swallowtail. The crescent-shaped markings on my wings run across the entire wing, just like a jade belt, hence the name."
He became more and more shy as he spoke, his head almost buried in his chest.
Huo Xiu seemed to be thinking about something.
"Then do you know what dominant insect species I am?"
Huo Xiu asked again. He had seen no less than twenty players in the past few days. Some of them were wearing black hard armor, and some had two long tentacles on their foreheads - this should be the difference brought by different dominant insect species.
But there seems to be a competitive relationship between these players, and they will fight each other once they meet.
It was also at that time that Huo Xiu discovered that they could be resurrected.
Then he sent all the guys who harassed him and called him "Lord" when they saw him back to the resurrection point.
The only exception is Kaka.
That guy is like an indestructible cockroach.
Huo Xiu had thought about getting information from other players, but Kaka stayed in his garden all day long, like a vicious dog guarding there, sending away every player who managed to successfully enter through the peripheral tasks.
But today, Kaka is not here, and this player in front of him seems to be a good candidate.
"Your dominant Zerg requires a blood test, as males cannot revert to their ancestral form."
"Atavism?"
"That's also the ability of female insects. Atavism means that female insects enter a combat state, such as growing bony wings, insect wings, or insect armor."
"Thanks."
"You are so polite, sir. I know you like crops, so I brought you a pear tree. I've been nurturing it for a long time, and it will soon bear fruit after it's transplanted!"
This was really thoughtful to Huo Xiu, and he thanked him sincerely again.
"Well... then I'll help you transplant! I can also help pollinate other crops... if you don't mind."
Huo Xiu had no reason to refuse.
At this moment, the wings of the Jade-belted Swallowtail Butterfly were hit hard.
At the same time, a familiar voice came from behind.
The voice still contained a smile, but it was slightly different from usual.
"I was just a little late, and my house was almost robbed."
Huo Xiu turned around and saw Kakaying's green eyes staring at him.
Like a wolf.
The body of the Jade-belted Swallowtail Butterfly fell stiffly, and then a voice popped up above his head.
Are you crazy??? You're going to kill me right away?! Ahhhhh, I finally triggered the plot!!! If you have the guts, leave your ID. See you in the arena!
"Okay~" Kaka squinted his eyes and smiled, "ID729839."
"Kaka."
Huo Xiu frowned.
Kaka instantly moved close to Huo Xiu, and their noses almost touched.
"Are you going to blame me? For a butterfly?"
“…”
After a moment, Kaka laughed again and returned to his usual nonchalant self: "Did I scare you? Who told you to mess around with my fiancé behind my back?"
"No."
Huo Xiu subconsciously denied it, but then he felt that this sentence sounded a bit weird, as if he was admitting something that was not true.
Kaka smiled and stretched out his hand to Huo Xiu: "I can also help you pollinate."
"After all, we are... spending the night together."
His tone was ambiguous.
“…”
The Jade-belt Swallowtail butterfly lying on the ground had automatically disappeared after exceeding the time limit, and only Kaka and Huo Xiu were left in the yard.
After a while, Huo Xiu suddenly asked.
"What's your dominant insect species?"
Kaka, who is usually talkative, was silent at this moment.
But after a few seconds, he smiled and blinked again.
"you guess."
"You can guess that he is a butterfly, why can't you guess mine?"
Huo Xiu ignored him and turned around to pick up the pear tree on the ground.
He has broad shoulders and long legs, and his posture is upright. He can walk briskly even with heavy objects on his shoulders.
Kaka stood there admiring the appearance of the ancient male insect for a moment before slowly taking out a live chicken from the space.
When the chicken was handed to Huo Xiu, it was still flapping its wings, and the special smell of poultry immediately rushed into his nose.
Huo Xiu frowned.
"By the way, today's gift." The culprit still had a smiling face.
"I wanted to give you an egg, but luckily... Otherwise, if someone gave you a pear tree, how could I give you an egg?"
"Sarcastic."
Huo Xiu commented.
But I have to say, hens are very useful.
It can produce eggs, and if he can get a rooster, he will not lack meat resources in the future.
Kaka watched Huo Xiu transplant the pear tree neatly, and then he started to tinker with it with wooden boards that he had found from somewhere.
He squatted beside Huo Xiu, holding his chin with one hand: "What are you going to do? Our love nest?"
Huo Xiu looked straight ahead: "Chicken coop."
“…”
"If you want to live in it, it's a chicken coop."
Huo Xiu sneered. If something got stuck inside, he would weld the door of the chicken coop shut.
After a moment, Kaka couldn't stop laughing. He sat down on the grass and said, "Oh my god, it really is a chicken coop? Are you going to keep this guy?"
"What if I give you pigs? What about cows? You won't raise them all, will you?"
Huo Xiu put down the stone in his hand and turned around to look at Kaka on the ground.
Kaka saw two words in his calm eyes.
--want to.
Tsk, this is difficult. You can’t buy those things in the grocery store.
"Are you going to switch from being a small farmer to a herder?" Kaka looked at the flattened garden, then glanced at the stone in Huo Xiu's hand. "Tsk, I think you should go buy some tools first. Using stones to hammer nails, are you a primitive worm?"
Then, he thought of Huo Xiu's ancient Zerg design and couldn't help but sigh.
"Let me think, hammer, plow, fertilizer..." He counted them, then looked at Huo Xiu who continued to work, "Do you want to go to the grocery store with me?"
As soon as Kaka finished speaking, a dialog box popped up in front of Huo Xiu.
[Player Kaka invites you to the grocery store, triggering an outing mission. Would you like to follow this player?]
【whether】
Huo Xiu nodded yes without hesitation.
The next moment, a warning message popped up and a huge exclamation mark appeared on his interface.
[Your intimacy with the player is less than 10, triggering the mission failed! ]
He suspected that Kaka had also seen similar prompts about intimacy and mission failure, because his emerald green eyes blinked lightly for a moment, then raised his right eyebrow and looked at him with a smile: "Sweetheart, you are really cautious."
"I've already slept with you all night."
Huo Xiu frowned and had no time to pay attention to Kaka's nonsense because the status bar in the upper right corner of his interface was updated.
HP: 100/100
Thunder Energy: 23/100
Hunger: 57/100
Intimacy: 2/100
Huo Xiu didn't expect that he and Kaka would be so close.
There are actually 2.
Oh.
But this also told him one thing - he could leave the garden, but the conditions for triggering the task had not been met.
——
And in a place that Huo Xiu couldn't see, a square-headed guy was looking at the interface of Lily Garden nervously.
"Wow! He actually accepted this! Their relationship will definitely improve!" Ome looked at Euphemia in admiration. "It's so great to meet a senior in this world!!!"
Euphemia smiled faintly: "How long will it take for Huo Xiu's body to recover?"
"Alas... the sculptor said it will take a while TT" Ome sighed. It learned from the lesson of the previous world that it takes 3 points to shape a new body, but only 1 point to transform a person's body!
So it hurried to greet the fourth executor, wanting to move away before his body was chopped into pieces.
——But that’s too difficult!
Huo Xiu's lightning energy was so strong that it didn't give Ome any time to react! So when it was snatched out, the executor's body was already black.
The sculptor was originally willing to give it credit, but the repair was too difficult, so the turnaround time was a bit long... and there were no points for expedited payment...
But if he waited until Huo Xiu's body was repaired before entering the fourth dimension, the warmongering Carlos would have already turned the Zerg upside down!
Fortunately, Euphemia once again helped it, which had no points. She helped Ome transfer Huo Xiu's soul to the game "Godless World", existing in the form of an NPC, and using this identity to contact Carlos in the game.
However, perhaps because of the lightning strike, there was some problem with Huo Xiu's memory.
But Euphemia thought it was a good thing.
"It's hard for two people who are both very wary to establish a trusting relationship. But now, one of them is a player and the other is an NPC."
No matter what, Ome is very grateful to Euphemia, although it sometimes feels that Euphemia has a bad taste.
——Those strange props were all codes written by it while watching Euphemia.
