Chapter 392 391. Holiday
squeak--
The sound came into the room, and Norris on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.
He jumped out of bed with a swift somersault, rolled away from his original position, and quickly assumed a fighting stance.
At the same time, I began to contact Jida in my consciousness, but there was no response at all.
With his back against the corner of the guest room, Norris glanced vigilantly at the empty room.
After a while, he suddenly realized that this was not the mushroom garden in the far north, but the home of Puji, the surface mushroom capital.
Karen and Jida were not here, and the noise just now was just the footsteps of other tenants passing through the corridor.
He put away his posture somewhat awkwardly, thankful that no one witnessed this embarrassing scene.
The morning light had already filtered into the room through the curtains. Although he was awakened, this was a rare good sleep he had recently.
Walking onto the balcony, the warm sunlight was completely different from the paleness of the far north, as if all the fatigue of the past few days was gradually dissipating under the sunlight.
In fact, Norris also thought about whether it would be better for him to give up resistance.
The boss only likes prey that keeps struggling, just like now. It is obvious that if he doesn't approve the leave application, he will probably be defeated in a few days.
But the boss would agree to let me take a break at this time.
The boss enjoys the process rather than the result. This is the experience Norris has summed up over a long period of time.
Therefore, as long as you act like a salted fish and accept everything, the boss's attention will soon be diverted away from you.
After all, even if you give up resistance, you won't lose any meat.
However, Norris felt that if that were the case, something in his heart would disappear.
However, Norris did not blame the boss for this. He knew that he could only worry about these things now because he had no other worries.
No hunger, no debt, no life threat.
If he were a miner in his time, and only had to pay such a small amount to offset his debt, he would only be afraid that others would snatch this precious opportunity from him.
He patted his cheeks to drive away his chaotic thoughts.
These days are my vacation, so I shouldn't think about these annoying things.
After going downstairs, Norris said hello to Senior Dylan and the shop assistant who flashed by, and then left Puji House.
Although the main purpose is to get a good sleep, it is certainly impossible to stay in bed all day during the few days of vacation.
In the purse around his waist were ten gold coins that he had exchanged with the boss using contribution points. In his opinion, this was enough money that he could not spend in a few days even if he was extremely extravagant.
Norris first went to the Rotten Willow Tavern.
The original Dumb Wind Town was upgraded to the current Mushroom City, and the Rotten Willow Tavern was also changed from a wooden building to a stone brick building in accordance with regulations.
But the atmosphere here has not changed much. At most, some mushroom farmers have become one of its main consumers.
Here, Norris ordered a plate of honey-grilled snake meat that he didn't get to eat at first.
However, as soon as the first piece of meat entered his mouth, Norris's face was filled with disappointment.
It’s not that this thing tastes bad, but for Norris, who can now enjoy high-end gourmet mushrooms every day, this "high-end dish" that he could only eat once every few months now tastes barely edible.
Norris sighed, knowing that this was natural. After all, it was just an ordinary ingredient, how could it be compared with "delicious"?
It’s just that I embellished my memory too much, and my expectations far exceeded its original taste.
Although he no longer liked it, Norris still ate the food in front of him cleanly, bite by bite, as if he was completing a task on his wish list.
After filling his stomach, he suddenly didn't know what to do.
Looking at the gold coins jingling in his purse, he found that he had no idea how to enjoy his vacation.
If you think about it carefully, the entertainment venues frequented by adventurers are incompatible with you.
Needless to say, the food is better than anywhere else in the Mushroom Garden.
He has no habit of drinking, and as for brothels, he is still struggling to maintain his innocence!
And gambling... he hated gambling the most!
All the suffering he had endured in the past few years was caused by his gambling father.
After taking stock of everything, Norris suddenly found that he couldn't find any way to entertain himself.
He walked aimlessly on the street, looking at the Puji masters with Puji in the crowd, and suddenly felt that Mushroom City was just a larger mushroom garden. The only difference was that the people here had not realized it yet.
"Hey bro, do you want to go have a drink together?"
"Brother?"
Norris came back to his senses and looked at the female adventurer in front of him. He was stunned for a long time before confirming that the other party was talking to him.
After politely declining, he was still a little confused.
No one had ever invited him like this before.
When passing by a store, he looked at his blurry reflection in the glass and realized that his current mimicry was quite pleasing to the eye.
But the thought only flashed through my mind.
After all, this is just mimicry. The real me is a lizard man with sharp claws, scales all over the body and no tail.
He has now slowly accepted this setting.
There's nothing wrong with this. At least the hard scales can block the werewolf's claws, and the sharp fangs allow him to protect himself when there's no one around.
After strolling around, Norris found many new things in Mushroom City, but he was not interested in any of them.
Just as he was about to return to Puji's House, a familiar figure came into view.
"Lord Aydin!"
"Norris?! Why are you here?"
The two were old acquaintances. When they first met, Norris was mining and Aidin was investigating giant black mushrooms.
The gap in status between the two parties was huge, and Norris benefited greatly from a gold coin that Aidin casually gave him.
After joining Mushroom Garden, we became colleagues and had several exchanges. We have a pretty good relationship.
After learning that Aidin was going to complete a task assigned by the boss, Norris decisively expressed his wish to add him.
Aidin thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
The mission is not complicated. A mushroom farm outside the city has recently been occupied by a group of suspicious people.
Lin Jun noticed that they had kidnapped many people recently, but he still couldn't figure out their real purpose.
A barrier was set up in the basement of the farm, preventing Lin Jun from understanding the situation inside.
He suspected that an evil wizard was performing an Abyss Magic ritual, but strangely, there were no traces of [Abyss Magic] on the panels of those members who were active outside, so he sent Aidin to investigate.
Aidin originally planned to use illusions combined with invisibility, plus homemade props to conceal traces of magic, to sneak in and investigate. Now that he has Norris's assistance, he arranged for him to support outside the farm just in case.
Norris was not put in danger. After all, safety always comes first.
However, just as they were about to act, a group of people arrived at the farm first.
Norris, who was lurking in the woods, narrowed his eyes and saw the backs of Vera and the other three from afar, and couldn't help frowning.
