Experts are usually very cool. After killing the beast, my roommate turned and walked back to the group. Two people here also stood up and prepared to "collect the corpse." They had learned how to collect and dissect, so this was their job. They had handled the beasts killed yesterday.
But the roommate suddenly stopped and looked towards Yang Jia.
"Let her go," she said.
Yang Jia was stunned, making sure that the person he was looking at was him and not someone else. He thought to himself, could it be that his attitude of just living a life of idleness and waiting for death was too obvious, so the big boss couldn't stand it and was unwilling to take her with him to show off and fly?
Fortunately, Bai Ting came over immediately and patted her on the back, "Yes, you have a surprise card, maybe there will be extra rewards!"
So that's how it is. Yang Jia breathed a sigh of relief, then had to stand up and walk over, then stopped.
Only then did she finally see clearly that it was a hairy ape. No wonder it looked a bit like a human. This giant was over two meters tall, with broad arms and a round waist. Its arms were thicker than Yang Jia's thighs. One could imagine that in addition to the agility of a monkey, its strength must also be formidable. It was definitely more troublesome than any of the beasts encountered yesterday. Perhaps it was a boss-level existence.
So, was your roommate hiding her strength yesterday? Or did she think those guys weren't worth her effort?
However, Yang Jia paused, not because she was too surprised. After all, she had guessed it when she was watching the game just now. She was worried about not knowing what to do.
Picking up corpses in the game is simple: just walk over and make a pick-up gesture, and the items will automatically be added to your backpack. So it's not uncommon for monsters to drop gold, materials, or even equipment and blueprints. But how do you pick up corpses in real life? Yesterday, Yang Jia watched for a long time and confirmed that these animals didn't suddenly explode with glittering golden objects.
After hesitating for a moment, Yang Jia squatted down and put his hand on the beast.
At this moment, Yang Jia felt as if someone had stuffed something into her brain, and naturally, she knew where the thing on the monkey was hidden.
There was a pocket-like area on its waist where everything could be hidden. This kind of setting, similar to some Australian animal, shouldn't appear on a monkey, but Yang Jia had seen a lot of strange things from yesterday to today, and this was just the most insignificant part.
So she naturally reached out her hand and took out a jar of wine from the monkey's waist.
"Is this the legendary monkey wine?" Bai Ting, who had walked up behind him at some point, took the jar of wine and asked excitedly, "It is said that monkey wine is the most delicious wine in the world!" Yang Jia felt that he seemed to hear some suspicious sound like swallowing saliva.
But strictly speaking, these were other people's spoils, and they couldn't touch them. So Bai Ting hugged the jar tightly and urged Yang Jia, "Go on, see what else you have?"
Yang Jia turned to look at the wine jar, which was about ten centimeters in diameter, and then at the monkey's waist. He didn't even mention where the monkey had gotten the wine jar from, but the pocket on his waist didn't look very big, so how did he manage to stuff the wine jar in there without it bulging?
She thought again of the bags that Bai Ting and others carried, which seemed to never be full. Perhaps there was some connection between the two.
As he thought this, his hands weren't idle. He reached in and fumbled around, pulling out another stick. It was called a stick, but it looked no bigger than a rolling pin. He didn't know what metal it was made of, but it felt heavy in his hand. He probably thought it was the monkey's weapon; he wondered why he hadn't used it before.
All that was left were some small stones, some fur, and a half-eaten peach.
"No more." Yang Jia showed the things to Bai Ting and threw them on the ground, his eyes fixed on the monkey's waist. Was the bag still there after peeling the skin? Could it still maintain that magical function of never being full?
This thing is not uncommon to others, but Yang Jia himself does not have it, so naturally he can't help but have some thoughts on it.
She had already vaguely realized that the world seemed a little abnormal to her, but others—like the female tour guide—seemed completely oblivious. In the eyes of the others in the tour group, this "abnormality" was normal, nothing to be surprised about. Furthermore, Yang Jia was acutely aware that, for some unknown reason (most likely due to the so-called surprise card), she was being treated as one of their own by these less-than-normal people.
Humans are creatures with a herd mentality. When in a crowd, they will try their best to appear the same as everyone else, no different. Yang Jia is like this now. She knows she is different, but others don't, so she psychologically tends to disguise herself as being the same as them.
So, despite encountering many problems along the way, she no longer asked Bai Ting questions like she did yesterday. She remained silent, observing with her own eyes, then analyzing the results, searching for the information she needed.
For this reason, Yang Jia also picked some plants she came across yesterday. But she didn't have a bag to put them in, so she just held a few in her hands to make a show of it. No one was surprised by this yet, but that didn't mean it wouldn't happen in the future.
And this "pocket" can make you look more similar to other people.
Bai Ting had already returned, carrying the wine jar and the stick. Yang Jia squatted there, watching people being skinned. Perhaps because the others were so natural, even such a bloody scene had become indifferent after watching it for so long.
While waiting, the others searched the surrounding area again, trying to find the monkey's nest, but failed.
By this time, the skin had been peeled off, and Yang Jia turned back to the crowd. He heard Shamatte say to his roommate, "This monkey wine is your trophy. We can exchange it with you for something else."
"No need." My roommate said, "Let's open it and have a try."
It was a small jar, shared by about thirty people, with each person getting only a small sip. But as soon as that sip of wine entered Yang Jia's mouth, he felt a warm and fragrant taste spread throughout his mouth, then down his throat, all the way to his stomach, and from his stomach, spread to every part of his body, making him feel so comfortable that he just wanted to lie down and take a nap.
So she lay down.
Yang Jia…was a bit of a drunk. She rented a place on her own, and when she felt like it, she'd open a bottle of wine, grab some peanuts and some cold dishes to go with it, and sip on it while watching TV and playing games. Even if she got drunk, she didn't have to worry about disturbing anyone. Of course, Yang Jia was very restrained and rarely passed out. She really enjoyed this leisurely lifestyle.
If you count the alcohol tolerance, Yang Jia can drink a whole bottle of Erguotou in a small bottle without any problem, and about the same amount of red wine.
So she never thought that there would be a day when she would collapse.
But turning around, she saw that everyone else was also lying on the ground in all directions, and Yang Jia's heart immediately balanced. She sat up, rubbed her forehead, and felt a surge of embarrassment - people have three urgent needs.
There was naturally no toilet in this wilderness. Yang Jia hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help it, so he got up and planned to walk away and find a secluded place to relieve himself.
She looked around and went into the woods on the right. After walking for a while, she finally chose a place and squatted down.
However, before Yang Jia could finish solving her problem, she heard footsteps coming towards her. She thought to herself, "Oh no!" She hoped it wasn't a man, and that he wouldn't notice her. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing. How would she face people afterwards?
Fortunately, the place I chose was relatively hidden, with bushes on three sides and a stone wall behind it. As long as you don't come over, you won't find it.
But Yang Jia soon discovered that the footsteps had stopped.
Then she heard a familiar, pleasant voice ask, "What are you going to say?"
It was my roommate. Everyone in the tour group kept their distance, afraid to even speak to her. Now someone was actually talking to her? So, there wasn't just one person coming over. Who was the other one?
She soon learned that the other person was a "Shamatte" boy, whose name seemed to be...what was it... "Shamatte" was so ingrained in Yang Jia's mind that even after hearing his name several times, she still couldn't remember it. Oh...I remember now, his name is Qiu Yue!
Qiu Yue said, "Of course it's about our marriage."
Yang Jia: "..." It seems like he heard something important. If he was discovered now, he might be silenced.
She subconsciously held her breath, concentrating even more carefully to conceal her tracks. If being discovered just now was embarrassing, being discovered now was exponentially more embarrassing. She'd better wait until the two of them finished their conversation and left.
That’s right…my legs seem a little numb from squatting.
The numbness in his legs was fine when he wasn't paying attention, but once he did, it felt like hundreds of ants gnawing at his flesh. No one could stand it. Yang Jia tried to focus on the conversation over there and forget about it.
The roommate remained silent and didn't answer. Qiu Yue continued, "I know you want to cancel the engagement, but I don't want to marry you either. Someone like you who is cold and unromantic, who only knows how to fight and can't even say a nice word, is not my type."
"Fuck!" Yang Jia almost couldn't help but curse. "You know shit! This is the most attractive, okay? Besides, how can a weakling like you be worthy of a queen? Why should you like her? You're so shameless!"
It was obvious that the roommate did not have the same ability to complain as Yang Jia, so she remained silent.
Shamatte Qiu Yue was a little upset. "I'll be frank. I'm not like you, who doesn't care about anything and dares to go against my family. So if you want to cancel the engagement, you have to find a way yourself. I can't help you. Hey, Li Bai! Do you hear me? Say something!"
"I understand." Li Bai's voice was still steady, as if he was not affected at all.
Perhaps her aura was too strong, and even the Shamatte couldn't stand it. He felt that it was a bit stupid for him to specially call her over to say such words, so after getting the answer, he walked away in shame.
Yang Jia squatted for a moment longer, a little unsure if her roommate had left. She'd only heard a single footstep, undoubtedly a Shamatte. She'd probably walked like a master, making no sound at all, so there was no way to tell.
But soon, she no longer needed to judge. Because she heard Li Bai say, "Have you heard enough? Why don't you come out?"
Discovered!
This was incredibly awkward. Yang Jia wasn't about to gamble on whether the other party was trying to trick him. With lightning speed, he stood up and pulled up his pants. Finally feeling a little safer, Yang Jia kicked up some leaves to cover the body, then walked out, his legs numb, grinning.
The author has something to say: Yang Jia: Author, please come out, I have a MMP that I want to say right now [smile]
Author (hiding behind Li Bai): What do you want to say?
Yang Jia: No no no nothing QAQ
