Ren Suo quickly skipped the conversation, and then the game popped up a prompt:

"Current small task: Please teach the maid Xiaosuo the local language as soon as possible to facilitate movement. Teaching the maid Xiaosuo may be completed during the rest period."

Action options: "Conduct an investigation", "Have a good rest", "Teach the maid Xiaosuo".

It turns out that she was taught to learn languages...

Well, it turns out that it is to teach her to learn the language.

Ren Suo nodded slowly with a righteous look on his face, thinking that the Small World Game Console was indeed a serious game console just like him.

This small task should only appear after each one is completed, and it is basically very helpful for completing the game.

For example, the previous small task 'Find a place to live' allows Mr. Mu to have a good rest at night and maintain his good mood.

Although I don't know what's the point of letting the maid Xiaosuo learn the local language, but since it's a small task, I might as well complete it.

And the task clearly states: 'Maybe you can complete it during your break.'

Ren Suo just wanted to see how much resentment Master Mu could purify by resting, so he chose to "have a good rest".

The maid Xiaosuo asked, "So are you going to rest at home or go out?"

"Rest at home", "Go out and play".

Ren Suo thought about it and estimated that resting at home might trigger the teaching plot, so he clicked "Rest at Home".

Maid Xiaosuo: "Hehe, I won't come anymore, you are so annoying.

You are in such a good mood. If you continue like this, people will...

(blush)"

Um?

Hmmmm?

Seeing the game options return to "Rest at Home" and "Go Out and Play", Ren Suo blinked and chose "Rest at Home" again.

Maid Xiaosuo: "...Okay."

"The energetic Mr. Mu and his maid Xiaosuo spent a hearty and exhausting day."

"Maid Xiaosuo has learned the 'Flame Dance'!"

"Mr. Mu's mood changed from 'quite pleased' to 'pleased'."

Um?

Hmmmm?

Ren Suo pressed the pause button for the game; he needed to slow down his thinking.

What on earth happened?

Ren Suo was still a child, and he didn't quite understand why the maid Xiaosuo had learned a new martial art after "spending a hearty and exhausting day"...

This method of passing on power... is it so exciting!?

Mr. Mu, you, the Demon Lord, could it be that you are the Demon Lord of the Hehuan Sect?

Besides, it’s fine that you’re teaching me the skills, but why do you feel worse after that?

Ren Suo, with a complicated expression, finally chose to reload the game.

If the maid Xiaosuo learned some martial arts such as 'Demon Disintegration and Self-Destruction Technique', 'Corpse Explosion Magic Technique', 'Nine Transformations of Immortal Body', 'Cold Flame Primordial Rush and Roaring Heavenly Venerable Power' that could fully serve as a meat shield or self-destructive infantry, Ren Suo would accept it.

But you learned the 'Flame Dance', which seems much weaker than Mr. Mu's 'Demonic Flame Fierce Sky'. What use do I have for you?

But after reloading the file, Ren Suo thought about it and took a look at "Xiao Suo's Secret Diary", and found that there was indeed a new line of ink: "Will the young master teach me self-defense martial arts?"

After clicking, the line of ink changed to: "No, I can't learn killing martial arts, I want to learn martial arts that can play a greater role for the young master!"

Xiaosuo is really smart and knows that he has to take the blame for the protagonist.

Ren Suo nodded with satisfaction, then loaded the save file and chose "Rest at home" again.

"The maid Xiao Suo has learned the 'telekinesis'!"

Ren Suo rubbed his temple slightly. Wait, maybe this magical movement technique is to fly over and self-destruct?

So he looked at the introduction of the magic of walking:

"The Art of Speed: A very practical martial art that allows a warrior to accumulate Speed ​​while moving with very little effort. Each level of Speed ​​will increase the warrior's movement speed until it reaches the maximum speed. Once the movement is interrupted, all Speed ​​will be lost."

Ren Suo had no choice but to reload the game - what the hell, how could a maid like you think you could run faster than the protagonist?

I don't have a maid like you!

However, Ren Suo also figured out what kind of game setting "resting at home" is: when Master Mu is in a good mood, he and his maid Xiaosuo rest at home, which will trigger "a hearty and exhausting rest".

Although no one knows what they did, the result is that Master Mu's mood dropped by one level and the maid Xiaosuo learned new martial arts.

It is estimated that this is probably a setting to train the maid Xiaosuo into a combat force, but now Ren Suo has not completed both of the main tasks, and every round is crucial. Naturally, he is unwilling to waste a round on enhancing the maid Xiaosuo's ability to escape.

Moreover, the small plot of teaching the maid Xiaosuo was not triggered at home. In order to maximize the use of "every round", Ren Suo chose the option of "going out to play".

Then Master Mu took out a sparsely drawn map and thought to himself, "Where should we go?"

Unlike the map full of survey points, this Edo map is now full of scenic spots: temples, shrines, red towers, white towers, parks, imperial gardens, fish markets...

There are quite a lot of places to go, and according to the game prompts, visiting these attractions during the day and at night may trigger different plots.

Ren Suo tried clicking on one of the attractions and found a point named "Home" in the upper left corner of the map, with a red line connecting it to the attraction.

He randomly selected a scenic spot and found that the plot was not triggered, so he immediately quit the game and checked "Xiaosuo's Secret Diary", and found that there was indeed a new line of ink in it:

"It's so boring on the way to play, does the young master have any plans?"

Ren Suo clicked on the line of ink, but it didn't change at all. Instead, the option "What should I do?" appeared below.

This time I need 10 points of merit...but problems that can be solved by spending money are never problems!

After spending the money, the floating ink immediately turned into heavy ink: "I think I can give you some advice, sir."

Back in the game, when Master Mu took out the map, Ren Suo hovered the mouse over any scenic spot, and a maid's small lock popped up in the lower left corner: "I haven't been here before!"

What the hell are you talking about if you haven’t been there!

After hovering over several attractions, when the mouse hovered over the 'Temple' attraction, the maid Xiaosuo finally popped up a different prompt:

"This seems to be the farthest place from where we live."

Ren Suo blinked and decisively chose "Temple" as his destination.

It was another cutscene of a carriage with rolling wheels, but the difference was that this time Master Mu and his maid Xiaosuo appeared in the cutscene.

Master Mu: "We have a lot of time on the road, so I'll take advantage of this free time, Xiaosuo, why don't I teach you the Yingzhou dialect."

Maid Xiaosuo: "There are other people in the car, is it okay?"

Mr. Mu: "It's okay, just listen carefully..."

"Maid Xiao Suo has learned 'Yingzhou dialect·Elementary'!"

Ren Suo felt that there might be something wrong with the character setting here - wasn't it said that the maid Xiaosuo was stupid, how come she could learn a language while traveling?

Although the learning plot was triggered, Ren Suo still reloaded the save file.

This time, Ren Suo equipped the maid Xiaosuo with "Demon King's Arrival", "A Thousand Miles a Day" and "Ornament of Seeking the Truth", and then triggered the learning plot, but the maid Xiaosuo still only learned 'Yingzhou Language·Elementary'.

How come after I gave her more comprehension, the learning effect is still the same?

Ren Suo was puzzled and could only attribute it to the fact that she was really stupid and it was useless to increase her comprehension. However, when he was equipping the maid Xiaosuo, he found that the equipment column of the maid Xiaosuo was in the shape of clouds.

This equipment bar that seemed like it could disappear at any time gave Ren Suo a bad sense of déjà vu.

But there seems to be another layer of real equipment column under the equipment column of Maid Xiaosuo. I guess that is Mr. Mu's equipment column. After all, Maid Xiaosuo replaced Mr. Mu because of the game setting, so it is not unreasonable to paste it like "cloud"...

It's like 'XXXNB' is already written on the banner, but later on you find you need to change it and you don't have time to make a new banner, so you have to just cover it with stickers to make it 'XXNB' - Mr. Mu is the banner itself, and the small lock is the sticker.

Back to the game, after the two triggered the learning plot, they arrived at a bustling temple for sightseeing.

The background of the temple was a little blurry. Ren Suo could only see an eight-legged gate with a big red lantern with the word "Thunder Gate" printed on it hanging in the middle. There seemed to be statues on both sides, and beyond the gate there seemed to be a bustling commercial street.

The maid Xiaosuo popped up again, but unlike her bare-faced appearance at home, she now wore a hood, a veil, and a collar around her neck, covering her appearance very tightly: "There are so many people~~~!"

Mr. Mu: "Do you know the way?"

Maid Xiaosuo: "No."

Master Mu: "Then hold my hand and don't get lost."

"Mr. Mu's mood has been slightly affected."

The game prompts didn't specify whether it was a good or bad influence, so Ren Suo could only rely on his own guessing. However, he thought that as long as a man is good, it's good, and bad, it's bad. Why do you, the protagonist, always suffer minor effects?

Maid Xiaosuo: "Sir, there is a kitten here, come here quickly... It lies down with its belly exposed, it is afraid of you, hehe."

Mr. Mu: "How could he be afraid of me? He is afraid of you, right?"

Maid Xiaosuo: "I am very popular among cats."

Mr. Mu: "Me too!"

"Mr. Mu's mood has been slightly affected."

After some meaningless dialogue, the game background screen turned to a small pavilion full of signs. The maid Xiaosuo said, "You can draw lots here to see whether it is good or bad. Sir, why don't we try our luck? If we are blessed by luck, maybe our trip will be smooth."

Master Mu nodded: "Okay, then I will try to draw lots."

"Mr. Mu shook the lottery bucket and poured out a wooden stick with a number on it. He looked for the lottery number according to the number 77, and the result was: Very bad luck."

At this moment, a conversation between passers-by suddenly appeared on the screen: "Haha, I got lucky!"

“I got it too!”

"Don't be so happy. In order to increase the popularity of this temple, there are a lot of lucky and auspicious numbers, and only a few unlucky and very unlucky numbers. If you draw a lucky number, your luck is only average."

"What if you draw a bad luck?"

"That's really bad luck."

The maid Xiaosuo quickly said, "Sir, if you draw an unsatisfactory lot, you can fold it and tie it to a tree, hoping to turn bad luck into good luck."

Mr. Mu: “Oh.”

The game popped up a prompt: "Mr. Mu's mood has been seriously affected, from 'quite happy' to 'depressed'."

Ren Suo was completely confused - you had bad luck in the draw, and this can make you depressed?

I don’t have any items that can increase my luck!

Even if she lets the messenger of disaster come, she can at best draw out all the greatest evils!

Ren Suo opened "Xiao Suo's Secret Diary" and sure enough, new words appeared: "Young Master, if you draw a bad fortune, will your mood become worse?"

This time there is no need to unlock the merits. Just click it and the maid Xiaosuo will know what to do.

After loading the game, when they came to the place where the lottery was drawn again, the maid Xiaosuo said quickly, "Let's go, there's nothing to see here."

Master Mu: "There is a place to draw lots here to see if we can get lucky. Let's try our luck. If we are lucky, maybe our trip will go smoothly."

Maid Xiaosuo: "I never believe in such luck. Sir, let's go, be good, let's go to the front and eat apple candy."

Mr. Mu: "I won't!"

"Mr. Mu shook the lottery bucket and poured out a wooden stick with a number on it. He looked for the number four-three and the result was: bad luck."

The game popped up a prompt: "Mr. Mu's mood has been seriously affected, from 'quite happy' to 'average'."

Ren Suo curled his lips, it seemed that the plot of drawing lots was unavoidable.

He reread the story and found that the number he drew this time was 96. Although it was also very unlucky, it at least proved that Mr. Mu drew a different number every time.

In other words, Mr. Mu's plot is not necessarily "very bad" or "bad" - because the maid Xiaosuo will say different things every time, which will cause Mr. Mu to draw a different lot.

As long as he reloads the game enough times, Ren Suo will definitely be able to trigger a plot where Master Mu draws "Good Luck"!

In order to help Mr. Mu to deliver the goods successfully in one go, Ren Suo began a boring journey of reloading the game.

Soon it was lunch time. Ren Suo sighed and had to put down the game. He planned to go to the cafeteria to eat and fill his stomach - he summoned an avatar to do the cleaning last night, and it hasn't cooled down yet.

When Ren Suo walked downstairs with a depressed look on his face, Hei Lingdang suddenly ran over and circled around his feet, meowing.

Ren Suo squatted down and looked at it, nodded very perfunctorily and said: "Yes, yes, I am a hairless, ugly and sad human... What, you are so kind that you allow me to touch you?"

Ren Suo stroked Hei Lingdang's fur, which was warm and comfortable to the touch. His mood indeed became much better. Hei Lingdang meowed again. Ren Suo nodded and said, "Yes, yes, thank you, Lord Hei Lingdang. Now I am only ugly..."

After all, it was the black cat that helped Ren Suo guard the door and threw small stones many times to remind people who were visiting him. Even though it spoke rudely, Ren Suo was still very nice to it - the main reason was that it was a cat, and Ren Suo was the only human who possessed the "Cat Evolution", so there was a vague feeling of "blood connection".

If Zhao Huo was so arrogant, Ren Suo would still beat him, but he would let his clone find a time to fully arm himself and beat him to the ground in broad daylight.

"Huh? Your friend is injured...Okay, take me there."

————————

On the other side, Qiao Muyi, who slept until noon, went to the bathroom with her head down to wash and comb her hair, then went to the living room to turn on the TV box, ready to spend this rare holiday by watching a movie.

She looked around the living room and said softly, "Xiao~Suo."

An orange cat quickly emerged from the small room, jumped onto the sofa, nestled into her arms, lay down with its belly exposed, and made cute noises.

Qiao Muyi touched the cat's furry belly with satisfaction, felt the weight of the orange cat, and said, "You seem to have gained weight. If you continue like this, I may not be able to support you."

The orange cat immediately stood up, gently stepped on the milk with its paws, and meowed in a flattering manner.

Qiao Muyi stroked the orange cat's head and said, "Then I will reduce your cat food until you lose weight and then restore it to the original amount. You should also exercise more at home and don't be lazy like someone else."

The orange cat hugged Qiao Muyi very obediently and didn't dare to move.

Qiao Muyi then petted the cat, watched a movie, and felt the changes in the cyclone.

"The mark of "Flame Dance" has also been condensed..." She thought to herself: "With the mark, I will be able to strengthen this spell more easily, and the spell will be more powerful.

Of course, I can also give the mark to others, although the process is cumbersome and takes at least several hours, and it consumes a lot of physical strength and spiritual energy... but as long as the mark is successfully given, others will immediately learn this spell.

But each spell can only condense one mark. Without the mark, the power of the spell will be reduced by at least one third.

Every mark is an important trump card of mine, how could I possibly give the mark to someone else?"
