Chapter 8: Hisashi Jyouno, are you sick?

This animal city, which is said to be very isolated and xenophobic, not only has a fresh and lovely architectural style, but also does not have thick walls surrounding the city, nor does it have serious and strong soldiers stationed at the gates to refuse contact with the outside world.

It didn't even look like a city, more like a large unfortified village.

The houses are not next to each other. Each household is separated by a distance, and even many shops in the market are separated by a distance.

These were all observed by players who had completely immersed themselves in the identity of the Black Cat Detective and had even transformed themselves into a cat, walking in a very elegant cat-like gait.

But what shocked and moved him as he looked around was not the difference between this city and the legend, but the blue exclamation marks on the heads of the furry animals.

Rika Yada felt her back tingling under the gazes of the animal residents, and said awkwardly:

"We haven't seen foreign animals for a long time. They don't mean any harm by staring at you... Wait, why are you crying?"

Detective Black Cat shed tears of emotion, holding Miss Squirrel's hands with his paws and moving them up and down, "These are tears of joy! The residents of Forest City are so warm and welcoming!"

A bunch of super cute furries!

A bunch of super cute furries that give him tasks!

Rika Tanida looked suspiciously at the residents who were not friendly at all and whose attitude was completely indifferent. She then looked at the Black Cat Detective in disbelief. Before she could doubt the detective's look, there was only a blank space around her.

The black cat wearing a cloak and holding a cigarette appeared at the speed of light next to a fox grandfather and started a conversation.

"Exotic animal, I've heard of you. Are you the detective?"

"Yes, I am the great detective Hisashi Jouno in the newspaper."

"It's like this, old man, I have something to trouble you..."

"Oh, you need to deliver carrots to your friends in the north of the city, right? Okay, I'll help you!"

After taking the basket of carrots, the Black Cat Detective stuffed the things somewhere without even delivering them. Instead, he turned around and ran to another muscular kangaroo.

"Yes, I am the great detective Hisashi Jouno in the newspaper."

"The fitness meal you ordered from xx restaurant hasn't been delivered yet, but you don't have time to pick it up now, right? Leave it to me!"

Tanita Toshika: "...?"

Miss Brown Squirrel looked at this scene in confusion. People in Forest City never liked to trouble other animals, nor did they like foreign animals to disrupt the peaceful life of the locals.

That's why Grandma Jiang's incident became known to almost everyone in the city after she commissioned a big detective from another place, and she was determined to protect Detective Tiaoye.

But what is happening?

How could they so easily entrust their little tasks to a strange animal? Are they deliberately trying to make trouble for the wild detective?

We are not such animals, and Mr. Scotland is waiting at the bar.

Rika Tanida wants to call back Black Cat Detective, but in the face of a bunch of furry creatures and tasks, the player has already separated from the identity of a detective.

For players, isn't it normal to start the main quest and then put it aside to start a bunch of side quests, or to find treasure chests at anchor points everywhere?

While the player was busy completing the mission, he discovered that the brown squirrel was chasing him relentlessly, although it could not catch up with him at all.

This NPC also has a follow function.

Yada Rikka, who was out of breath from the pursuit, said: "Detective Jouno, huhu... wait for me! Let's go find Mr. Scotland first!"

But the players didn't hear it at all.

There are no treasure chests in the Forest City, and the side quests are not difficult.

Basically, you deliver mails and pick up things in the wild to collect some materials, but the quantity is quite abundant, and you can say that you can see moving blue exclamation marks everywhere.

However, because the animals' houses are separated by a certain distance, there is no scene of densely packed exclamation marks that could cause people to suffer from claustrophobia.

The player without a stamina bar felt no sense of tiredness when completing tasks. Soon, he had run through the entire city more than ten times, even the sewers were not spared, because some animals lived there.

The sky turned dark and then light, and then light and then dark again.

Until he finished the last side quest and climbed to the top of the tallest building - a large windmill. The cool breeze blew the player's hair, and he looked down with satisfaction at the forest city where there was no longer a blue exclamation mark.

The experience books, ores, and yen in the backpack have reached a very rich level, and there is no need to brush related dungeons in the short term.

As for the rewards of Sands of Time given by the missions, each side mission gives out ten.

Fifty grains of sand are drawn at a time, and fifty draws are guaranteed.

After completing these tasks day and night, the player's Time Sands already reached a total of 1,030, which is equivalent to a little more than 20 draws.

In other words, he has completed almost a hundred side quests.

Players have memorized the map of this dungeon so well that they know how to navigate it even with their eyes closed.

As for the NPC who followed the player, Rika Yada, it was not known whether she went off work after dark or there was a bug in some building, but she disappeared while the player was running.

A day in the game is much shorter than in real life, but with this hard-working method, you can't feel the passage of time at all.

The player glanced at the real time and saw that a whole day had passed since he logged into the game.

With his mental strength, he doesn't feel tired. Furry things can heal his spirit, but he should log off and eat something.

A lot of food was delivered during the mission, and he was a little hungry. He wanted to steal some, but it was a pity that they were mission items and he couldn't eat them.

He did buy some basic menu items at the restaurant, such as fried eggs that could revive him and wild mushroom chicken skewers that restored his health.

I also bought ten servings of each of these two dishes, as well as some ingredients, but I still couldn't cook dishes by the campfire, nor could I learn recipes in my backpack.

Because the NPC who was supposed to teach him how to cook hasn't appeared yet.

Thinking of this NPC without a shadow, players can't help but feel a little depressed.

He clicked on the tracking mission [Broken Wine], and the golden mission block stopped at Toshika Yada's house.

The black cat leaped down from a windmill that was so high that some animals had to lie down to see the top, and then skillfully used its dodging skills to land unscathed on a tree by the roadside. The whole process was perfect.

The player ran to this place that he had passed by many times but had never been to.

When I arrived, the door opened from the inside before I even knocked.

With two very vivid dark circles under her eyes, the extremely decadent Rika Yada appeared in front of the players with her head bowed, and her voice was very low:

"Mr. Tiaoye, you finally remembered me."

Players don't want to engage in dialogue now to advance the plot, they just want to come here to facilitate the mission later.

Out of his love for furry things, he nodded very seriously and said "hmm" to Toshika Yada perfunctorily, then he went offline.

Rika Yada really wanted to complain about this completely irresponsible detective.

She chased until her legs were almost broken, and then she waited anxiously at home, only to see the black cat scout pass by many times, but not once did it come to find her.

She was the one who commissioned it first! It was her!

But before he could even utter a complaint, the black cat, which seemed to be full of energy, suddenly fell to the ground and turned into a black cat pancake.

Rika Yada was shocked: "Detective Jouno!"

…

When the player went online after having a meal, the scene changed from the door of Rika Yada's house to Rika Yada's house.

He got up from the sofa, and when he didn't see Toshika Yada, he ran around the house, collecting fallen cabbages, radishes, potatoes and other ingredients from the shining wooden boxes.

This is what Rika Yada saw when she came back from her unsuccessful attempt to find a veterinarian.

The player comes over and talks to her, "Let's go, we can go find Scotland now."

Rika Tanida: “…”

The player wondered, "Aren't you going to take me with you?"

Rika Tanida: “…”

She must be dreaming. How could this weird detective who seemed to have died at her doorstep turn her house upside down and then ask to look for Mr. Scot who had been dove-in for two days at two o'clock in the morning?

The brown squirrel suddenly squatted down.

I can’t understand it! I can’t understand anything at all!

She hugged her head in pain and frantically pulled at the hair with her claws.

real.

Hisashi Jouno, are you sick?
