The sequel to OE that “we” are looking forward to (VIII)
There are many kinds of monsters in the Forbidden Forest, but as Z01 looked 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 after a certain period of time and becomes dried fruit. It launches a drying attack towards the target, trying to absorb the moisture and air around the target.
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 the target, making the target sour to death.
…
There are a lot of monsters that drop snacks, most of which have attack power and health points of 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 through farm breeding and fishing, which is not within the scope of monster hunting.
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 meat monster illustrations. 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 before 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 moment. 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 gem!"
It certainly looks like it should be hidden. Z01 said euphemistically, "It looks like this creature lives a very secluded life."
Jiang Yuanshi nodded in agreement. "Yes, the Abstract Mosaic Monster usually lives in underground caves at the very edge of the forest. It never sees the sun, and only comes out to look for food when it's hungry. However, since it has a poor sense of direction, it will randomly appear anywhere in the forest. However, the probability of a player encountering it is only 10%. We were lucky this time."
Z01: "..."
For the first time, the system didn't know where to start. Should it be the monster's plain name? The host's settings? Or the host's cheerful and excited tone and expression?
Z01 looked up at the monster, its health was 888.
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 took out a gold coin expressionlessly and threw it at the monster's head.
-200.
Very good, four more times.
[Warning: The monster has entered a frenzy and is about to launch a super attack, 999 in one hit. Please 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 like the right time to talk about this."
Jiang Yuanshi reacted: "Oh, that's right. When he's in a frenzy, you can only hide and wait for him to cool down. Otherwise, one slap will kill him. When he dies, he will be teleported back home, losing his 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. Z01 turned around and ran at a very fast speed. In order to avoid being thrown out of the car, Jiang Yuanshi could only hold on to the other's neck tightly.
The wind was strong, and Xiaolong flew up with half of his body in his arms. Finally, he grabbed the hero's ears with his two 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 couldn't even open it. Finally, Jiang Yuanshi couldn't hold on any longer and turned around to see the patchwork monster behind him chasing him with its mouth wide open.
He thought quickly and with a bit of anger, he quickly opened his mouth and bit Z01's ear.
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) replied: "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 the 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 trying really hard to be a masochist."
“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 couldn't 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 good reason?"
"."
Jiang Yuanshi crossed his arms and said, "I was wondering why you haven't been calling me host lately, 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 wanted to go along with it and shout, and then you pulled out a bunch of permutations and combinations of names for me."
"How do you know that?"
"..." Jiang Yuanshi just made a random guess, "Are you serious?"
Z01 nodded and replied, "Yes, I'll show you later when we're settled."
Jiang Yuanshi was speechless: "You are climbing the pole too naturally now."
"That's great." After Z01 said that, Jiang Yuanshi felt his body falling. He looked carefully and 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 cackling 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?"
The Z01 obediently popped up a screen filled with dense text and a large, bold title at the top:
Regarding the way Jiang Yuanshi is addressed
The three characters were separated and arranged into 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 calls 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'll have to debate with you. It'll either succeed or fail, and then we'll have to continue the debate. It's better to agree than to waste my fragile energy. Now, while I'm still too fragile to debate, hurry up."
Z01's vertical pixel eyes stared straight at Jiang Yuanshi, and Jiang Yuanshi was confused. He 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 quickly disappeared, 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 looked down at the two names without saying anything. Z01 then said tactfully, "If you feel they're inappropriate, you can change to something else."
Jiang Yuanshi spoke calmly, "Which of these are you most likely to call? Or did you come up with that 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 it? Do you want to take turns?"
"Yes, one name a day. Do you agree?"
"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, then looked down at the headless monster sitting in his palm. "He might trigger the tree-crashing mechanism later. What are you going to do?"
Z01 blinked and replied, "What do you wish?"
Jiang Yuanshi frowned in confusion, "Are you serious? Normally, he should be killed, after all, he drops a lot of equipment."
Z01 suddenly asked, "Don't you want him as a 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 bring a monster mount into the city. Although I have the money, it's a bit ugly."
Are you sure it's just a little?
Z01: "Would you consider 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, okay? At least this one is ugly and cute. Your system is really nothing but ugly and scary. They are all super evolved. I won't get involved."
"...Actually, there are many system appearances."
"I know, you're quite pretty. It's just a matter of aesthetic differences between species."
When Jiang Yuanshi finished speaking, Z01 stared at him again with that same fixed expression. 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 strange conversation.
"boom--!"
Heavy objects hit the trees, causing the earth to shake.
Jiang Yuanshi lost his balance and swayed, then fell back down.
The noise of crashing into trees never stopped.
Hiding forever wasn't a solution. The cooldown bar was still more than half full, and Jiang Yuanshi was dizzy from the shaking. His tail began to sweep Z01's fingers impatiently. Finally, he covered his head with his hands and said, "Why don't you just 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 around, and he really looked dizzy.
Z01 placed the dragon inside 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 blow, the monster died.
Z01 brushed the dust off Jiang Yuanshi's nose, picked up the gold coin and put it in his inventory. He then took out a new one, handed it to Jiang Yuanshi, and said, "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 it?"
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.
