The follow-up of OE that "we" expect (VIII)
There are many kinds of monsters in the Forbidden Forest, but as Z01 has seen along the way, most of the monsters he encountered were small monsters related to food.
Various potato monsters - launch potato fries and other fried foods at targets
Dried fruit monster - falls from a fruit tree, loses moisture and becomes dried fruit after a certain period of time, launches a drying attack on the target, trying to absorb the moisture and air around the opponent.
Plum Monster - a fresh fruit monster that falls to the ground. It will cry continuously when frightened, and its tears will pickle itself into plums. It will cry sour water towards its target, making the target die of sourness.
…
There are a lot of monsters that drop snacks, most of which have attack power and health points no more than 30 points. However, it is rare to see monsters that drop meat after being defeated. According to Jiang Yuanshi, common meat is mainly obtained by farming and fishing, which is not within the scope of killing monsters.
But Z01 was really curious about what the monsters that dropped meat looked like. Jiang Yuanshi replied that the monsters that dropped meat generally didn't drop meat near cities, but in the deep forests, and would occasionally run around. It all depended on luck.
Z01 understood and temporarily gave up the idea of collecting the meat monster encyclopedia. For the time being, he decided to go into the city and activate the teleportation array first. However, things often go against one's wishes, whether good or bad.
When a village appeared in the distance of their sight, before they had time to take a closer look, the scene in front of them was blocked by a huge monster.
The monster has goat horns, pig ears, a cow's nose, a rabbit's three-lobed mouth, pig's trotter hands, feet with one chicken claw and the other duck paw, and a round bear belly with eight abdominal muscles.
Z01: What is this?
It was more shocking than the appearance of any system Z01 had seen in Chuanshuju. If this creature's appearance was put into the system library, it would be 88% popular.
Z01 crashed for a while. Jiang Yuanshi, who was sitting on his shoulder, patted his neck, pointed with his short hand and said with sparkling eyes: "Wow, I found a hidden version!"
It is indeed suitable for hiding with this appearance. Z01 said tactfully: "It looks like this creature should live in seclusion."
Jiang Yuanshi agreed and nodded: "Yes, the Abstract Mosaic Monster usually lives in underground caves at the edge of the forest. It never sees the sun all year round and only comes out to look for food when it is hungry. However, because of its poor sense of direction, it will randomly appear anywhere in the forest. However, the probability of a player encountering it is only 10%. We are lucky this time."
Z01: “…”
For the first time, the system didn't know where to start. Should it be the plain name of the monster? Or the setting given by the host? Or the cheerful and excited tone and expression of the host.
Z01 looked up at the monster, with 888 HP.
From the perspective of the human world, it looks auspicious.
I have a question, how do I defeat this monster?
Jiang Yuanshi: "You have 200 damage per gold coin, and you want five hits?"
Z01 expressionlessly took out a gold coin and threw it at the monster's head.
-200.
Very good, four more.
[Warning, the monster has entered a frenzy state and is about to launch a super attack, 999 at a time, please be careful to dodge. ]
"Wow, super hidden, I only set the probability of frenzy to 1%, how did you do it?" Jiang Yuanshi asked in surprise.
Z01: "...Now doesn't seem to be the time to talk about this."
Jiang Yuanshi reacted: "That's right, you can only hide when it's in a frenzy and wait for it to cool down, otherwise you will die with one slap. When you die, you will be teleported back home, and you will lose your equipment, health, and money."
Z01: "But we don't have a teleportation array."
Jiang Yuanshi: "Then we can only run, wow——————!"
The conversation between the two was actually very short. Before Jiang Yuanshi could finish his words, the monster had just completed its frenzy, and Z01 turned around and ran at a very fast speed. In order to avoid being thrown off the car, Jiang Yuanshi could only hold on to the monster's neck tightly.
The wind was strong, and the little dragon flew up with half of his body held high. Finally, he grabbed the hero's ears with both hands and flew in the air like a big pendant.
Jiang Yuanshi felt that the other party must have done it on purpose, otherwise he would have put himself in the armor from the beginning. He didn't know how he had offended Z01, but now Jiang Yuanshi felt that he was really going to be thrown away. He wanted to open his mouth to speak but he couldn't even open his mouth. Finally, Jiang Yuanshi couldn't hold on any longer and turned around to see the splicing monster behind him chasing him with its mouth wide open.
He quickly opened his mouth and bit Z01's ear with a bit of anger.
More like a pendant.
“Mmmmm!”Put me back!
The words were unclear, but the other party seemed to understand. He reached out to support Xiaolong's back, then rolled Xiaolong into his palms and held him in front of him with both hands.
Even when moving at high speed, Z01's expression is (I_I).
Jiang Yuanshi felt safe sitting in the palm seat, except that his head was facing the wind.
Jiang Yuanshi, whose expression also turned into (I_I), said silently: "You definitely did it on purpose."
Z01 of (I_I) answered: “Yes.”
Even when they were running for their lives, their conversation remained relaxed. After all, how could Z01, a guy with a screen full of question marks in his attribute bar, not be able to defeat the monsters in a pixel game?
"You didn't predict that I would bite you, so you did it on purpose, right?"
"Yes."
Jiang Yuanshi:)
That's bad.
"You seem to be a masochist with all your heart."
“Thank you.”
"Who praised you?" Jiang Yuanshi shouted, "Do you know that I almost flew away just now?"
"Don't worry, that won't happen. You are always protected."
Even if Z01 said so, Jiang Yuanshi could not forgive his behavior. However, for a shameless guy like Z01, he chose to find another way: "Hey, did you just call me a kid for no reason?"
"."
Jiang Yuanshi crossed his arms and said, "I was wondering why you haven't been calling me host recently, or Mr. Jiang. I thought you were transferred to customer service, but it turns out you were planning this."
"You don't seem to be resistant."
"And then you just want to go with the flow and shout, and then pull out a bunch of permutations and combinations of my names."
"How do you know that?"
"..." Jiang Yuanshi just guessed, "Are you serious?"
Z01 nodded and replied, "Yes, I will show you later when we are settled."
Jiang Yuanshi was speechless: "You are climbing the pole too naturally now."
"You're welcome." After Z01 said that, Jiang Yuanshi felt his body falling. Upon closer inspection, he saw that Z01 had just carried him up the tree.
“…”
Due to Z01's sudden action, the monster under the tree suddenly lost its target and stopped, began to search around, and made a clucking sound.
Safe for now.
Jiang Yuanshi withdrew his gaze and looked at Z01 expressionlessly.
Jiang Yuanshi said: "So you want to pull the watch now?"
Z01 obediently popped up a screen with dense text on it and a large bold title on the top:
【About addressing Jiang Yuanshi】
The three words were separated and arranged in different combinations.
But the only thing missing is the name "Jiang Jiang".
Jiang Yuanshi tapped the screen and asked, "Why don't you want Jiang Jiang?"
Z01 replied: "Because someone else called you that."
Jiang Yuanshi paused and said, "So you want a unique name?"
Z01: "If you allow me..."
"Okay, what do you want to shout?"
Jiang Yuanshi agreed without hesitation. Z01 seemed to have something else to say, but quickly turned around and said, "You agreed so quickly."
"Otherwise, if I don't agree, I will have to debate with you. It will either be successful or unsuccessful. If it fails, I will have to continue the debate. It's better to agree than to waste my energy. Now, while I am still too fragile to debate, hurry up."
Z01's vertical pixel eyes stared straight at Jiang Yuanshi, who looked confused and couldn't understand what was wrong with this guy.
Just as Jiang Yuanshi was about to take action, the dense words on the screen in front of him disappeared rapidly, leaving only four words, two by two, which were magnified a lot.
Z01 said: "This is the best result after selection. Please take a look."
【Hours】、【Wish】
Jiang Yuanshi lowered his eyes and looked at the two names without saying anything. Z01 said tactfully at this time: "If you feel it is inappropriate, you can change to something else."
Jiang Yuanshi spoke calmly, "Which of these two are you most interested in calling? Or did you come up with this through some kind of analysis?"
It seems that someone has called you these two names, but Z01 said, "I want to call you that."
Jiang Yuanshi poked the screen and sighed: "Okay, I agree, but how do you want to call, take turns?"
"Yes, one name a day, do you agree with that?"
"It's up to you. I'm not the one shouting."
"Okay, thank you for your agreement."
Z01's politeness was always strange. Jiang Yuanshi scratched his face, sat in the other's palm and looked down at the monster who looked like a headless fly: "He might trigger the tree-collision mechanism later. What are you going to do?"
Z01 blinked and replied, "What do you want?"
Jiang Yuanshi frowned in confusion: "Are you serious? Normally, he should be killed, after all, he dropped a lot of equipment."
Z01 asked out of the blue, "Don't you want him to be your mount?"
?
Jiang Yuanshi was greatly shocked and sighed: "It's over, you have become abstract too." After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it. You have to pay for a monster license to enter the city with a monster mount. Although I have the money, it's a bit ugly."
Are you sure it's just a little?
Z01: "Have you considered applying for this appearance to be included in the system library? There are quite a few systems that would like it."
Jiang Yuanshi refused: "No, and it's not like I haven't seen your system before. It's much uglier than mine. At least this one is ugly and cute. Your system is really ugly and scary. They are all super-evolved. I won't get involved."
"...Actually, there are many system appearances."
"I know, you are quite good-looking. I guess it's just the difference in aesthetic taste between species."
When Jiang Yuanshi finished speaking, Z01 stared at him again with that gaze. He stood up, stretched his body, patted the other person's face and said, "What are you doing now?"
Z01: "Nothing, you look good too."
“…Thank you?”
"You're welcome."
Another weird conversation.
"boom--!"
Heavy objects hit the trees, causing the earth to shake.
Jiang Yuanshi lost his balance and swayed, then sat back down.
The noise of crashing into trees never stopped.
Hiding all the time was not a solution. The cooling bar was still halfway down. Jiang Yuanshi was dizzy from the shaking. His tail began to sweep Z01's fingers impatiently. Finally, he covered his head with both hands and said, "Why don't you go and kill him? I'm going to have a concussion."
Z01: "Okay, do you need some finishing touches?"
"No, I feel a little dizzy." As Xiaolong said that, his eyes turned into mosquito-repellent eyes, circling around and he really looked dizzy.
Z01 placed the little dragon into the armor, carefully positioned its head, rested its chin on the edge, and jumped down.
"boom--!"
There was another sound of heavy objects colliding, but this time the world became quiet.
Jiang Yuanshi rubbed his eyes after recovering. With just one hit, the monster died.
Z01 brushed off the dust on Jiang Yuanshi's nose, picked up the gold coin and put it into his inventory, then took out a new one and handed it to Jiang Yuanshi, saying, "You can finish now."
“…”
So in your eyes, this is the end?
It seems that his image has become strange in Z01's eyes.
Jiang Yuanshi silently took the gold coins and put them into his armor. Z01's expressionless face showed confusion, as if asking, "Aren't you going to eat?"
Jiang Yuanshi hooked his finger at him, and Z01 was puzzled but lowered his head.
“Click.”
-1.
There is a circle of teeth marks on the Z01's chin.
