After much thought, Luo Xinglan decided that she should start with Becky.
She glanced at Becky, who was happily slurping up rice noodles, and sighed loudly.
Little Ear Mouse: "What's wrong, sister?"
Frog: "Why is Lanlan sighing?"
Little Divine Bird: "What's wrong, Master?"
Even the wild giant sheep asked a question, but Becky just kept eating her rice noodles, as if she hadn't heard a thing.
Luo Xinglan said with some worry, "The system has given me a task that I can't complete. If I can't complete it, I'll become weaker, and if I become weaker, I might get killed by all sorts of monsters. How can I not worry?"
The little mouse panicked: "I'll help my sister complete the task!"
The little divine bird grew even more anxious, fluttering its tiny wings as it approached Luo Xinglan: "I'll help Master fight monsters! I won't let Master get hurt!"
The little frog jumped up and shouted, "Don't let Lanlan die! I'll go out right now and find something for Lanlan!"
Luo Xinglan was touched, but she still held down the frog that was about to leave: "Little one, don't rush. You can't solve this problem. Just stay at home obediently."
Frog: "Then how can I help Lanlan?"
Luo Xinglan glanced at Becky and said, "None of you can help me with this."
After Luo Xinglan finished speaking, the little ones started making a ruckus again.
Finally, the wild giant sheep couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Shut up, all of you!"
The three little ones immediately looked at the wild giant sheep.
The wild giant ram, having lived for so many years, had long seen through Luo Xinglan's thoughts. Its gaze swept over the three little ones, and it said, "This matter...none of you can help with it..."
Before it could finish speaking, the little guys exclaimed, "We can help!"
The wild giant ram raised its hoof, signaling them to shut up: "Let me finish what I have to say!"
The three little ones stopped talking and stared at the wild giant sheep.
The wild giant sheep was very satisfied, feeling a sense of accomplishment as a leader speaking to his people: "Ahem, none of us can help, but there is one person who can."
"who?"
Who is it?
"Who is it? Tell me quickly!"
The wild giant ram pointed at Becky with its hoof: "That's him."
Becky finally stopped slurping his rice noodles. He wiped his mouth and said, "No, according to the rules, I can't interfere arbitrarily."
Luo Xinglan gradually understood why Becky wouldn't budge; it was because of the game's settings.
Are there certain rules of the game that restrict him, so he can't interfere with the survivors' tasks?
She remembered that the last time she mentioned the Good and Evil messengers, Becky also looked very nervous, so it seemed that the game had imposed restrictions on them.
Let's not force him to do something he doesn't want to do. After all, Becky is a character created by the game, and if he breaks the rules, he probably won't have a good ending.
It seems she'll have to figure it out herself.
The worst that can happen is that the mission fails.
But Becky glanced at the time and said, "I really want to drink, and it would be even better if we had some snacks to go with it."
Luo Xinglan was a little confused. Hadn't he just finished eating? Why did he want to drink again?
Besides, Becky is a minor, and minors are prohibited from drinking alcohol!
"I don't have any alcohol, only soft drinks. Would you like some?"
Becky was furious. She glared at the clueless Luo Xinglan with exasperation: "I want to drink, and I want the strongest liquor! I have to drink it in an hour, and there have to be snacks to go with it!"
Luo Xinglan was a little confused. Drink it an hour later?
Luo Xinglan glanced at the time; it was 11:00 AM.
Could it be...?
Was Becky subtly reminding her that the next special monster was about to spawn?
Is drinking the next special monster's hobby?
That's right, that must be it!
"I understand, I'll prepare the banquet right away!"
As Luo Xinglan was talking, she asked them in the group chat if they had any high-proof baijiu. Jiang Mingze actually did, and he generously gave her three bottles of 53° Maotai, a type of sauce-flavored liquor.
Luo Xinglan hurriedly thanked her and went to the kitchen to prepare snacks to go with the drinks.
She only has enough ingredients to make fried peanuts, crispy pork, and cucumber salad. She does have some fruit, but it's too shabby.
Luo Xinglan went directly to the mall and bought some braised meat, kelp strips, preserved eggs, and other things, filling the table with a whole table of food.
Becky then said, "I want to eat more fruit."
Luo Xinglan immediately understood: "Grapes, coconuts, lychees, bayberries, and him... uh, I mean you, do you like them?"
Becky nodded: "It's alright."
Luo Xinglan quickly went to the greenhouse to get the grapes. As for the remaining coconuts, lychees, and bayberries, she took them directly from her spatial storage cabinet, cleaned them, and quietly waited for the arrival of the next special monster.
At exactly twelve o'clock, an old man with a white beard appeared on Luo Xinglan's raft.
Upon seeing this, Becky immediately hid in the house of the Wild Giant Sheep. Luo Xinglan ignored him and only looked at the white-bearded old man.
His eyebrows and beard were long and white, much like those Taoist priests in TV dramas who exuded an air of otherworldly wisdom.
Luo Xinglan was somewhat shocked when she first saw him. He was clearly a kind old man, so how could he be a special monster?
At the same time, the world announcement sounded:
[Congratulations to survivor Luo Xinglan for triggering the third monster, "Talisman Old Evil." He has an eccentric personality and unpredictable whereabouts, and is one of the very few monsters with whom survivors can build affinity. The higher your affinity with him, the more gifts he'll give you!]
"What? I can increase my favorability with him? And I even get a gift? Is this for real?"
"He doesn't seem as cruel as the messenger of good and evil, does he?"
"Is this NPC here to give us survivors some perks?"
"Boss Luo Xinglan, please start a live stream! Let me see what the Old Evil Talisman looks like!"
"Start a live stream +1!"
"Please, Luo Xinglan, start a live stream!"
"..."
Luo Xinglan glanced at the information about the old evil talisman.
[Talisman Old Evil: Special Monster]
Introduction: The Old Evil Talisman has an eccentric personality and an unpredictable temper. He is passionate about making talismans throughout his life.
Favorability: 0]
The introduction is very concise, without even basic attributes like health, strength, and agility, but it does have a favorability rating, unlike Becky and the Good and Evil Messenger.
The old evil spirit with talismans sniffed the air, squinted his eyes, and said with a look of intoxication, "What a rich aroma of wine! I smelled it as soon as I stepped outside. It's so fragrant! Is there really such fine wine in the world?"
Luo Xinglan understood immediately; so the old evil spirit with the talisman was attracted by the aroma of wine.
Thanks to Becky!
Once she finishes this task, I'll definitely give Becky a chicken leg!
Luo Xinglan smiled and said, "Grandpa..."
Before she could finish speaking, a piece of white paper, accompanied by a strong gust of wind, shot towards her face!
It's a blank sheet of paper, but it's like a dagger!
It was only because she reacted quickly and dodged to the side that she avoided it; otherwise, that sharp piece of white paper would probably have cut her face!
Am I that old?
The old evil spirit's face instantly turned gloomy, and his tone became icy, completely different from his kind and amiable appearance just now!
