Chapter 13 Pufferfish Brave
Several other players around them turned their kayaks to maximum speed and disappeared in a flash.
Mingzhao, however, was not in a hurry at all. The game lasted for a total of five hours, which meant that the system did not actually want everyone to run too fast.
As soon as the rubber boat entered the channel, the monsters on both sides floated over like balloons.
However, these monsters seemed to have suddenly been given a flying buff, and they were flying erratically.
Mingzhao counted them up; there were at least ten kinds: human-faced sardines, giant sand crabs, hard-skinned sea cucumbers, scavenging hermit crabs, giant-jawed sandworms, iron-beaked squid, super-speed sea snakes, rainbow sea slugs, spiral oysters, and dreamy jellyfish.
Hey, so many kinds of monsters! Just thinking about what delicious food Pancake Dog could make with these ingredients makes my mouth water.
Moreover, she needs to gather as many materials as possible here. Many magical items, potions, and skill upgrades later on all require materials from these monsters.
Nowhere else has a more complete variety of monsters, and because they float in the air, their attacks and defenses are reduced, making them even easier to kill.
Mingzhao immediately activated his Eye of Truth, pulled out his pistol, and fired at the monster's vital points.
However, these monsters were not to be trifled with. Even though they were struggling to adapt to floating in the air, they still used all sorts of methods to attack Mingzhao.
Fortunately, Mingzhao survived for a whole year. He didn't have any other skills, but his evasion was definitely maxed out.
With the help of a curling iron, all monsters that get close to her will be stunned by electricity, which allows her to remain unharmed.
Perhaps it was because she killed too many monsters that people on other routes chose to sprint to avoid them.
Soon, all the monsters came toward Mingzhao.
As a result, players on other routes saw a monster ball with multiple layers inside and out.
The continuous gunfire was accompanied by the monster's howls, and occasionally a loud shout could be heard.
Are you afraid to love me?
That's terrible. I wonder if they stole the monster's lair.
Mingzhao, positioned in the center of the monster ball, is wreaking havoc, becoming more and more adept at it.
She recalled all the combat skills she had learned from escaping death in her previous life during the battle.
Her pistol shooting accuracy is also improving rapidly; now, she has a 50% chance of hitting a monster's vital point with a single shot.
Monster limbs and blood were scattered all over her body and around her, and the system announcements about gaining points and materials never stopped.
[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the title [Fearless Warrior]].
[Fearless Warrior: When wearing this title, the sanity effect from killing monsters is greatly reduced, and there is a 20% chance that monster attacks will be converted into healing equal to the attack power.]
Good stuff, Mingzhao will change this title.
Putting it together with "Killing Fish Without Blinking" fills up two title slots.
After four hours of fighting, Mingzhao's health had dropped to 20%, and his sanity was down to 22%.
Even at the slowest speed, the mountaintop appeared before her eyes.
Mingzhao gathered up the materials and ingredients that had been scattered everywhere and casually wiped the blood off his body.
A baby pufferfish with sharp claws appeared at the end of the flight path.
The little pufferfish was playing the game console with a blank expression, but its swollen, round body betrayed its dissatisfaction.
"Why are you so late? Everyone else was picked up two hours ago."
As he looked up, he saw Mingzhao covered in blood.
"Aaaaaaah! What are you?! Don't come any closer!!"
Mingzhao wiped the blood from his face and gave what he thought was a friendly smile.
"Little friend, I come from the other side of the world and have gone through a very thrilling adventure to get here."
"And you are the one I've chosen. I could tell at a glance that you're different from everyone else. Would you like to embark on an unparalleled adventure with me?"
The little pufferfish glared at her.
"Do you think I'm stupid? Everyone knows you're here to take me down the mountain."
However, Mingzhao could tell from its slightly swaying spikes and its slightly deflated belly that this chuunibyou little pufferfish had been moved by his words.
"I guarantee you'll never have another chance in your life to experience this kind of thrill."
"This is much more fun than playing games on a game console."
Mingzhao looked intently into the little pufferfish's eyes and said those words.
"Alright then, we're going down the mountain anyway. But if you can't do what you said, I'll give you a bad review."
"No problem, my little hero!"
Mingzhao sat on the kayak, placed the baby pufferfish on his lap, and then handed it the water gun.
"This is your weapon. Be careful not to get attacked by monsters."
Before the little pufferfish could react, Mingzhao turned the kayak up to maximum speed and plunged down the slope.
The kayak plunged wildly downwards, and the feeling of weightlessness instantly overwhelmed both the person and the pufferfish.
"Aaaaaah, don't go so fast! Aaaaaah!"
"Don't get distracted, shoot! The monster is coming!"
The splashing water stung the little pufferfish so much that it couldn't open its eyes, and Mingzhao raised the water gun in its hand.
"Bang!"
A carrion-eating hermit crab explodes in front of a baby pufferfish.
"Don't be afraid, you are the pufferfish I chose, you can definitely do it!"
The little pufferfish trembled with fear, but still nodded bravely and struggled to pick up the water gun in its hand.
"Bang bang bang!"
Three more monsters exploded in front of the ship.
The little pufferfish gradually adapted to the speed of the kayak and found joy in the game.
Its water gun never stopped, and the monster's remains and blood were constantly sprayed in front of the two of them.
"Yay! I'm the strongest hero!!!"
When you feel that life is peaceful and serene, there is always someone bearing the burden for you.
Mingzhao, who was carrying the heavy load from behind, was exhausted.
In fact, the little pufferfish didn't hit any monster at all; even if it had hit the water gun, it wouldn't have killed it.
Mingzhao was the one who finished off the enemies with a pistol from behind, while also having to prevent the little pufferfish from seeing it.
Fortunately, the monsters' howls drowned out the gunfire, allowing her plan to proceed.
Occasionally, a monster would successfully charge down, and she would have to shield the little pufferfish from the damage.
What takes four hours to climb can be done in just half an hour by plunging down at full speed.
When they finally reached the starting point, Mingzhao had only 10% health left, and his sanity was stuck at 20%.
The familiar murmurs echoed in my ears again.
"Hey, are you okay? I'm having a lot of fun."
Mingzhao looked weakly at the baby pufferfish.
"You are truly the most powerful hero I have ever seen. You are indeed the hero I chose."
"Hehehe, no, not at all. Oh dear, why are you bleeding?"
Mingzhao then noticed that her thigh had several bloody holes from the sharp spines of the pufferfish.
"It's alright, it's my honor to serve the brave."
The little pufferfish looked like it was about to cry.
"Don't die! Do you hear me? I hereby appoint you as my first Knight of the Round Table. I'll get my parents to come and save you right now!"
The little pufferfish is completely immersed in this role-playing game.
In fact, Mingzhao had managed her health well, and the 10% health loss was entirely within her expectations.
She only pretended to be weak in order to gain the little pufferfish's sympathy and increase her popularity.
At that moment, two adult pufferfish came into view.
"Mom and Dad, come quick! Please come and save my knight!"
