Chapter 116: Bite the Fruit
At this moment, time seemed to stand still.
I was mainly shocked by how familiar Rosehead was and the fact that his name was really Rosehead.
Shi Qing looked simply angry.
——I didn’t use “heartthrob” but why do I feel like I’ve already got the heartthrob’s script? ?
No one told me what happened during the whole process.
I feel like the protagonist of this world is difficult to deal with.
Difficult in every sense of the word.
Shi Qing looks like the kind of good guy with a strong sense of responsibility who says, "I will take on everything to protect you."
【The patient and affectionate type. 】
Yes, the patient and affectionate type.
No, wait a minute, when did you come out of the system?!
[Didn't you get that special phone? You secretly added a phone line to it. Super smart, isn't it?]
I:……
Did you say this earlier?!
「Oh, I wasn’t sure before──」
I looked at the thing on my waist that looked like a pager. It was flashing a warm orange signal light, and it would flash every time the system said a word.
Others seemed invisible.
To be honest, the last time I saw something this old was in the information of the second world.
Special mobile phone
It's a call that only special people can make, but whether you answer it or not depends entirely on your mood.
You can also contact anyone you want via your mobile phone at any time.
Different people correspond to different signal lights, please distinguish carefully~
I looked at the two people who were facing each other silently.
Rosehead, seems to be a fun-loving person, and may also be a bit of a germaphobe.
His suit was immaculately pressed, his white gloves spotless, his chainsaw looked as if it had been specially maintained, and the rose petals in his hair were immaculate.
And those sharp white teeth.
A perfect work of art.
[Ahem, host, you're not looking at him like a human being at all! ! !]
"During the fifteen-day harvest season, you must harvest all the bananas in your area. You will start get off work at 7:00 AM and finish at 6:00 PM. You are not allowed to enter the work area at night. You will have a one-hour lunch break at noon."
"Every evening at 7:00 PM, your work will be calculated. If you haven't completed half of your work by the seventh day, there will be a penalty—you'll know what the penalty is when the time comes."
"There are seven areas, A to G. Which one are you going to?"
Rose Avatar continued explaining to herself as if she didn't notice Shi Qing's expression, then took out a small blackboard from behind with seven letters written on it.
But the words written on the board look like scribbles. How on earth can I tell they are letters?!
【The body has its own common sense! 】
Got it, it's normal for us non-humans to recognize non-human characters.
"Sangsang, which one do you want to choose?" Shi Qing turned and looked at me.
I:?
I haven't said a word so far. It seems like I can't speak. There must be something wrong with my throat.
I turned my gaze to Rose Head.
Since he is my doting brother, it is normal for him to give me a backdoor, right?
Then the rose avatar suffered a critical hit, and instantly covered her heart, feeling that the petals were about to turn red.
Um? ?
[Perhaps it was the pitiful look under the ten-level filter that struck him down.]
Don't be so serious when you say things like this. I can understand each word individually but not when you put them together!
"Okay, okay, Sangsang~" Rose-Head's voice trembled a little, "I will always agree to any request you make."
"Then the temporary workers Shi Qing and Shi Sang should go to Area C."
The small blackboard disappeared in his hand, and then a notebook appeared. He took a rose-shaped pen and wrote on the notebook. The moment his pen stopped, a door appeared on the wall of the room we were in.
There is a symbol written on it, and I know what that symbol means when translated as C.
Judging from what Rose Head said, it is likely that Area C is the simpler area.
Then Rose Head walked towards me. Shi Qing looked at him warily, but did not block his way - as if she knew he would never hurt me.
So all of you slices know each other, or you know each other subconsciously!
Rose Head walked up to me and took off my mask. I looked at him in confusion - to be honest, because his head was Rose, I didn't know why he was looking at me.
I couldn't see his eyes at all.
For now, we can only use the shape of the petals to identify the front.
"You don't need to cover your face here, Sangsang."
He touched my face with his hand, and the texture of his glove was a bit rough.
"This is your home—you're finally home."
Thank you, it’s confirmed. No wonder I feel so energetic here.
Then he turned his head to Shi Qing, "If you can't protect him, then we... are all happy to take your place."
The first sentence is like a spring breeze to me, while the second sentence is as cold as falling into an ice cellar to Shi Qing.
The double standard is obvious.
In order to prevent them from fighting, I reached out and held their hands.
Although I can't speak, my facial expressions are still fine.
So, I tried to smile.
…
Then they both froze, holding their chests, and Shi Qing's face was still red.
——No, what exactly is the setting of the protagonist in this world?! Is he the ultimate brother complex? ? ?
It seems that my personality has become weird!!!
——————————
In the end, I pulled Shi Qing open the door, and walked out with the chainsaw in hand. Rosehead seemed a little reluctant to leave behind.
You guys seem really unreliable like this???
——Do I have to be the only reliable person in this world?
[Haha, it's okay, host. Remember when I said this world would be dangerous? ]
...You can't even suppress your gloating laughter.
Then after we walked out, the door behind us disappeared, and then I saw three-meter-high Ye Yeo Fruits in front of me, a whole row, extending along a single-person passage into the darkness behind.
It was clearly daytime, but there was very little light coming in.
These chewing fruits seemed to sense our presence. All their heavy fruits turned towards us, and then they opened their mouths wide from the middle of the fruit. The sharp three-layer fangs emitted a metallic glow, and I could almost feel how sharp they were.
Shi Qing instantly stood in front of me, and the chainsaw had already started.
"Sangsang, hold the chainsaw."
I held the chainsaw as I was told. For some reason, I could feel that these bite-biting fruits didn't seem to be looking at Shi Qing. Instead, they were particularly hostile to me.
Just like the group of “people” who grinned in the instructor selection room at the beginning.
They hate me.
I subconsciously thought of the "Charmer" that the system had repeatedly reminded me of. I took a look and saw that it was gray and unusable.
This is the first time we've met.
Why?
[I don't know...but the backend shows that there is no problem.]
[Host, I'm about to log off. You have a new call coming in.]
Then my mind quieted.
I looked at the pager at my waist, and the flashing light on it turned dark green.
"Sangsang, chewing the fruit should be easy for you, right?"
"have fun. "
Then he hung up and the green light stopped flashing.
Wait a minute, didn't I say I could answer the phone whenever I wanted? Why did I answer it right away?!
…
No, isn't this the voice that first entered this space and issued me the task? How could you call me?!
And that tone.
...You're not one of my brothers, are you?
I'm not stupid. These guys obviously seem to be very confident in my fighting ability.
Whether it was Shi Qing who stuffed weapons into my hand at the beginning, or Rose Head just now, or the mysterious person who called me.
So it comes with this body?
I looked at the three-meter-tall Bite Fruit in front of me, which was full of hostility towards me.
[Ding Di Di - Stage 2: The first day's harvest
In short, just go ahead.
Mission Reward: Flower Nutrient Solution]
Now that the missions are out, we have no choice but to do it!
...I definitely don't want to fight!
Then I grabbed the chainsaw and rushed towards the fruits with their bloody mouths wide open at an inhuman speed.
Shi Qing followed closely behind me. No matter how ferocious these fruits looked, they were just fruits planted on the ground. He jumped up, raised the chainsaw in his hand and looked towards the fruit stems. Without the restraint of the mask, I seemed to be able to smell the sweet scent of the fruits in the air.
It tastes like a mixture of many kinds of fruits.
Sweet and delicious.
Then in the blink of an eye, a bite fruit fell to the ground, half of the fruit body was buried in the ground, and the mouth on it disappeared. It looked like an ordinary fruit no matter how you looked at it.
I shook my neck and felt light and without any discomfort.
He never mentioned a word about jumping three meters high. I am no longer human, so it is normal for me to do non-human things, right?
I turned to look at Shi Qing, and he looked at me with a look of relief mixed with excitement.
...Thank you. Please tone it down a bit. This is too perverted.
But I still couldn't say anything, so I pointed to the front, meaning that I should keep going forward. He nodded happily, and then I saw his expression changed. He jumped a few times and climbed to the top of the vine of the bite fruit and then cut off the stem of the victim fruit before the bite fruit could throw him down.
Good, he's no ordinary person either.
But at least his behavior is still within the human range... Shi Qing can't be the only human slice?!
Then we both started working hard, mainly me cutting the left side and him cutting the right side.
Leaving behind a field of abundant harvest.
This is the real me being a corporate slave in another world.
I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but the time here seems to flow faster than I thought. Shi Qing and I should have opened the door around one o’clock in the afternoon.
But now it feels like only three or four hours have passed and the bell for the end of get off work has already rung.
As the bell rang, all the bite fruits stopped attacking, retracted their bared white teeth, and the huge leaves on the vines wrapped around the entire fruit, like green hammers standing on the ground.
You guys are off work too, right?!
Then a door appeared in front of Shi Qing and me. The door opened from the inside, and it was Rosehead who appeared at the door. He didn't even look at Shi Qing. He walked out very naturally, took the chainsaw from my hand that was still dripping with plant juice, held my hand, and then led me inside.
Shi Qing took my other hand without giving in, and we even glared at each other.
The three of us walked into the room in a strange hand-in-hand posture.
Behind the door was not the initial room I thought it was, but a restaurant.
There are eight tables in the restaurant, and except for the one in the middle, each table has three chairs.
In addition to the door we came in through, there were six other doors open around us.
It's just that we were the only ones who came in first.
Rose Head led the two of us to the third table, then pulled out the middle chair and looked at me.
Got it. I'll sit in the middle.
This feels like a parent with a child.
As we sat down, we heard noises coming from several other doors.
The other instructors I had seen walked in first. Some of them were dragging two bloody people behind them, some were followed by pale-faced people, some had no one behind them, and there were some who were very calm, some who were scared, some who were crying, and some who were limping and missing arms, but without exception, no one dared to make too much noise, and then they sat down one by one.
There are several seats vacant.
…Some people didn’t come back, and that’s when I realized how dangerous this place really is.
The people here seem to be only a part of the ones I saw when I first arrived in this world, and some of their instructors I have never seen before. Many of them have very strong external symptoms, which makes their rose heads look very beautiful.
I looked out the window and saw different houses with lights on not far away.
So besides this restaurant, there are other restaurants? And they might be responsible for different types of work?
Then, after everyone was seated, the middle seat was pulled back, and a man with a red crew cut, wearing loose overalls, a bandage around his neck, four golden eyes, and a mouth with shark teeth stretched from ear to ear appeared.
He looked over.
Ah, this feeling, he... is also the protagonist?
"Boss, why are you coming to the harvest department for dinner today? That's great—"
The rabbit-head sitting at the first table held up his face, and his ears swayed back and forth.
"Huh? What's it to you where I eat?" He didn't even glance at Rabbit Head, but stared at me intently. "Sangsang, are you having fun?"
This voice—
So it was you who called earlier?!
Rabbit Head calls him "Boss", so he is the owner of the farmer?
Then everyone and everyone looked at me.
I seemed to be able to hear some human whispers, and vaguely heard some speculations about my identity -
It turns out there are old players, or old contestants, here.
This dungeon isn't a novice dungeon... or is it that in this world, there's no such thing as a novice or not? And there's no need for me to hide my identity?
In short, Rose Head and Shi Qing beside them didn't think there was anything wrong.
I glanced at everyone expressionlessly, nodded at him, and then pointed to the empty plate in front of me.
This is the first time in a long time that I feel hungry again after a lifetime.
I'm hungry, so can we have dinner?
The red-haired man grinned and clapped his hands, and food appeared on the plates in front of everyone.
I looked around, and well, mine was particularly abundant.
…
You are also a doting brother!
