Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Players become fishermen!
"Moshimoshi... Yes, Yukimura, this is Yanagi. By the way, the new students for the club have been recruited."
Yanagi Renji flipped through the club's activity log and wrote, "Are there any juniors worth noting... Of course, there are some, but..."
Liu fell silent briefly as he thought of a certain first-year student who was already more than worthy of attention.
Yukimura Seiichi smiled slightly. "What's wrong, Liu? I rarely hear you choose your words so carefully to anyone. Are you an interesting child?"
……interesting.
Liu Kuai said: "Yes, it's very interesting."
Liu remained calm and said, "Xingcun, you must not miss it."
...What an interesting junior! Even Liu said so.
I'm really looking forward to it. Yukimura Seiichi is becoming more curious about the new students.
Players' favorability towards Yukimura Seiichi has decreased.
Where is it! Where is it?! Where is the last NPC who greeted me hiding?!
The player searched the entire Netlu Valley but couldn't find the NPC (51/52), which is simply driving the obsessive-compulsive player crazy!
Is this some kind of hidden NPC that only appears during special missions?!
The player harassed the NPCs for a while, but in the end, they only received a few vague messages, such as "When will the minister be back...", "I don't know how the minister is doing now...", "For the minister... I will definitely train hard!"
The player's eyes became sharp.
As expected, the last NPC isn't so easy to take down, but that's okay! Players have plenty of strength!
After routinely helping the NPCs train for a day and collecting all the refreshed food, and then stuffing the small garbage they picked up into the recycling bin, the player left under the complicated and fearful gazes of the NPCs.
After chopping down trees until his stamina was almost at the red line, the player searched for small garbage on the map and then walked back to the student dormitory with exhausted steps.
Three, two, one...
At six o'clock in the morning, the player whose stamina bar was refreshed jumped out of bed.
[Ding! Tennis Level 2-Lev. 3 up!]
[Planting Lev.1——Lev.2 up! ]
[Obtained recipes: "Tennis racket for novice training", "Primary fertilizer"]
【Save successfully】
Oh hoo!
The player habitually ran around the room with his fists clenched at the sides of his face. After running, he pushed open the door and went out to punch in at the dormitory lobby to complete his daily routine.
[The elves have no inclination today. Today is in your hands.]
【It will rain all day tomorrow.】
As the player stepped out of the student dormitory, the mailbox at the door began to flash and crackle.
[Yagi Kei:
You know, there's an ocean here, and now you can try throwing something into it.
Player: ...
Player: !!
7:00 A.M.
Ever since a new troublesome student appeared in the club, Marui Bunta has almost gotten used to leaving home half an hour earlier every day.
On the way, I met Kuwabara, met Yagyu, met Niou, met Yanagi, met Sanada, met Akaya...
Beautiful, everyone went out half an hour early.
But even so, it still cannot keep up with the pace of new students.
When we arrived at Rikkai University, a large crowd of people had already gathered at the school gate.
Everyone: “…”
Everyone: “…”
For some reason, whenever something unusual happens, I can't help but think of a specific person.
That's so rude.
Everyone was saying that they should hurry to the student dormitory to prevent Yagi Kei from rummaging through the trash cans, while they couldn't help but look at the dark crowd of Rikkai University students.
It couldn't be that guy, could it? It definitely couldn't be that guy, could it? With such a big commotion, it definitely couldn't be that guy, could it?
"... He's actually fishing with a tennis racket! Kaku--"
"OMG, where does this guy come from? He keeps catching fish after fish! Doesn't he have to catch nothing?"
"Wait... didn't anyone notice that he wasn't just fishing with a tennis racket... he couldn't even catch the bait..."
"Besides!! This is the ocean! How did he catch freshwater fish?!"
Everyone in the tennis club: Our hearts are finally at peace.
Kirihara Akaya and Marui Bunta took the lead and bravely rushed to the front of the crowd. Before they could catch their breath, they watched the mushroom-headed first-year student with the trash can lid on his head stand up, step back, and pull the tennis racket in his hand with an expressionless face.
The water in the distance suddenly became turbulent, and a huge black shadow jumped out of nowhere.
Hooked!
The player broke the record and caught a two-meter-three-meter-long sea bream!
The player, with lifeless eyes, grabbed the two-meter-three-meter-long sea bream in his hands and raised it above his head, which immediately attracted the exclamations of a bunch of NPCs around him.
Marui Bunta was stunned. He slowly pinched his thigh and it didn't hurt.
"...I must be dreaming. This fish looks like it could eat him in one bite..."
Jack Sangyuan endured it, "Although I also feel like I'm dreaming, but Bunta... you pinched my thigh..."
Marui Bunta: "..."
Kirihara Akaya no longer knew how to describe the scene before his eyes.
Should I say Kei is really amazing? He actually managed to hold a sea bream that was half a body taller than him upright, holding it above his head so firmly that it bounced and struggled repeatedly and couldn't escape. Looking closely, Yagi Kei's arms were thin but with faint veins bulging...
Kirihara quickly shouted "No!" and frantically tried to get rid of the image of the muscular brother in his mind by staring at the tiny mushroom head, constantly refreshing his mind.
Player: What weird things are the NPC saying again?
The player stared at it for a while, threw the sea bream into his backpack, and then took out a piece of seaweed and ate it to replenish his strength.
There were too many NPCs gathered together and talking non-stop, so the player turned around and changed the fishing spot.
The player swings... swings the tennis racket down, and waits.
During the waiting period, there will always be NPCs initiating conversations with the player.
Marui: "Although... but, Kei, where on earth did you learn how to fish with a tennis racket!?!"
Liu: "You can actually catch fish with a tennis racket? Looks like we need to update our intelligence."
Niou: "Where did you throw that fish just now? Into the subspace? Another dimension? It must be fun to use it for pranks, puri~"
The player turned a deaf ear until a 'buzz' sounded,
Hooked!!
Yagi Kei suddenly took a big step back, and everyone who had been trained to the point of PTSD took a step back in unison.
With a loud "splash" of water breaking, Yagi Kei caught a can of Coke.
Everyone: “…”
Yagi Kei: "..."
I really want to complain but I don’t know where to start.
Everyone watched helplessly as Yagi Kei raised his hand and put the Coke into his mouth, and they could only use their hands to try to stop him.
Fishing with a tennis racket wasn't a big deal... after all, he could chop down trees with it. So, in comparison, pouring an unopened bottle of Coke from the ocean into his mouth didn't seem like much either. After all, he'd managed to use a tennis racket to reel in a giant snapper that was two and a half meters long, almost as tall as him...
After my worldview was shattered again and again when I met Kei Yagi, it returned to normal in a strange way, as if "this guy seems to be able to do anything."
Everyone: “…”
Marui said weakly: "Fishing... after fishing, it's about time to go to training..."
Others: “Yeah…yes…”
When reminded by the NPC, the player remembered that he had not completed the recurring task yet.
The player turned around and ran, doing backflips as he ran, flipping over every trash can he passed by.
Everyone: “…Alas.”
Now I see this guy rummaging through the trash can, it seems like I'm almost used to it...
The player was completely unaware of the NPCs' inner melancholy, and after digging through the trash cans, he double-jumped and rolled forward while checking the task bar to join the Rikkai University Tennis Club.
A member who had arrived early for duty saw a figure jumping towards them from a distance and immediately sounded the alarm throughout the area.
"Hurry, hurry, that kid is here! Hide the lunch, fruits, snacks, and drinks!!!"
"Hurry up and change into your team uniforms! And hide your clothes! That guy might steal them and put them in the trash!!"
"He's at the door—he's at the door—I haven't hidden my food yet, someone go out and stop him!!!"
It's useless. The NPCs' resistance is useless.
The player will complete the cycle mission again and plunder the tennis club and leave.
The members who were lying dead slowly got up and returned to the locker room that had been looted by the first-year locusts. They hugged their empty tennis bags and burst into tears.
Marui and Kuwahara, who were in charge of comforting them, said: "It's okay, it's okay, next time everyone just needs to be more prepared, it's really okay!"
Club members: ...What should I do if this makes me want to cry even more?
Holding their empty tennis bags, everyone slowly crawled to the trash can to retrieve the things that had been stuffed in.
Amidst the conversations of "Where's mine?", "Who's seen mine?", and "Yours, yours, I've turned it over to yours", everyone's relationship has made great progress.
The mastermind behind this is playing with the little crocodile who loves taking a bath while hiding his achievements and fame.
After completing the check-in task that increases intelligence, the player was stopped by an NPC and dragged to the tennis club as soon as he left the house.
Marui: "Although, but... are we really going to take Kei to see Yukimura tomorrow? Do we need to give Yukimura a heads-up in advance or something..."
Jack: "Should we tell him ahead of time that we're bringing a... unusual freshman so he can be mentally prepared? Yukimura will definitely think we're joking, no matter how you look at it."
Marui: "..."
Marui stopped talking and just watched the black-haired mushroom head start circling around everyone.
Marui covered his face and collapsed: "What's wrong, Kei, just say it, just say it directly! !"
Players are expressing their joy!
Finally it appeared, the last NPC of the Netlu Valley!
[Emergency Mission: Please say hello to Yukimura Seiichi, a resident of Amagi Valley (Rikkai University)! (0/1)]
Sure enough, it can only be introduced through special missions! The player was so excited that he ran around for several laps before finally stopping in front of the NPC.
Marui: "Kyu, if you don't want to go, we can..."
Yagi Kei: “Go.”
Everyone: “…”
Kuwabara: "We won't force you, we really won't force you!! It's okay to wait for Yukimura... wait until you're ready!"
Yagi Kei: "I'll go."
Strange, can't the NPC hear what the player says?
The player pokes the NPC.
Players poke other NPCs.
The player tries to slide in place and squeeze the NPC into the wall.
The regulars were tickled all over by Yagi Kei, and they were agile enough to dodge the attacks of the trash can hats and raised the white flag.
"We know—we know! Why don't we take you there? I'll take you there tomorrow!"
After saying that, the NPCs ran faster and faster, leaving only the kelp-headed NPC who was stopped by the player.
The player looked at the mark, [Raise Favorability Machine].
Yagi Kei: "Goodwill Machine,"
Kirihara Akaya, who didn't have time to run away, said: "Hey, you called me? And what exactly is a favor machine? I still have training to do. If you have anything to say, tell me quickly, Kei!"
The player felt around in his backpack, reached over his head and pulled out a trash hat out of thin air, then handed it over.
Kirihara Akaya's face was suddenly covered with the trash can lid, and he grabbed the trash can lid that was forced into his arms in a daze... Hey, it was actually a smaller size!
Isn't this the same trash hat he said was 'cool' before?!
Kirihara Akaya: “Give it to me?!!”
Yagi Kei nodded with dead eyes.
Kirihara Akaya: “!!!”
"I'm done, I'm going to cry QAQ!! Kyu——Don't worry, I'll definitely say good things about you when I see the boss tomorrow!!"
Oh, the favorability is directly +20. Sure enough, the player remembered it correctly. The Kelp Head NPC said he liked the trash hat!
The player waited for a while.
Kirihara Akaya sniffed, still immersed in the emotion: "...QAQ?"
The player waited for a while.
Kirihara Akaya, who vaguely sensed something, said: "QAQ!!"
Five minutes later,
The player emptied the wallet of the Kelp Head NPC contentedly, and waved his hand nonchalantly to indicate that the Kelp Head NPC, who was crying bitterly and trying to keep the player with his hand, didn't need to be too happy.
Because players will come again next time.
Kirihara Akaya, who was kneeling on the ground and bending forward in frustration, said: Woohoo, I finally saved up some pocket money for playing video games... Woohoo.
After watering, completing tasks, and collecting garbage, the player clicked on the navigation with a green stamina bar.
One hour and forty-seven minutes, six hours until two in the morning.
One trip back and forth is enough!
The player picked a dozen green onions and ate them on the way. Then he clicked on the last NPC in the task bar - [Yukimura Seiichi].
【Click! 】
The last resident of Netlu Valley, players are here to see you!
The author has something to say:
----------------------
Yukimura: (A-choo) (A-choo) (A-choo)
Yukimura: ...I have a bad feeling.
