Chapter 338: Watching the Meteor Shower with You
"The Decoy Skull can not only attract monsters, but also a wider range of beasts. Even beastmen with a higher concentration of beast blood can be attracted."
"I think that a dung pot with soup and water might be more effective in attracting orcs, especially canine orcs."
"Manager! It's almost lunch time, could you please stop saying such offensive things!"
Bed City, Mareda Magic Item Shop.
Luluwo pretended to vomit and a "vomit" sound came out.
Mareda, or Gong Qiying, lightly threw a paper bag over and made a gesture as if to say please go ahead.
Luluwo curled her lips and said unhappily, "Can you at least maintain some manners in front of a beautiful woman?"
If I want, I can always find more beautiful girls to fill up the city of Bed City, and I guarantee that I can punch elves and kick succubi. Gong Qiying smiled on his face, and said something in his heart that might make the little bat mad.
Luluwo took the paper bag and put it into the black cloak that looked very childish - this was called being stylish in the other world - and took out a long list and slapped it on the counter.
"As usual, I want the goods above, and they must be of high quality. By the way, you are often away lately, don't you want to make money from the store?"
"Don't worry. I won't starve to death even if I lie down for the rest of my life."
"Lie flat? Weird word."
Luluwo lay on the counter, watching Gong Qiying's back as he turned around and went to the warehouse to sort the goods, and she couldn't help but start thinking back.
At the beginning, she was depressed by the difficulties from the Sen Dungeon and the reality, and then she was hit by the roar of the lion ape and went through a very difficult and hard time.
Later, Leon brought her some [Fear-Repelling Powder] from a prop store and a philosophical saying, "The shortest shortcut is to take a detour." This helped her cheer up again and she continued to explore the dungeon with her Skyrim strategy team. Now she has achieved success.
Luluwo also got information about Mareda's magic tool shop from Leon. After all, the phrase "fear-repelling powder" and "take a detour" both originated from here.
Later, she discovered that this store sold some props from the dungeon, and the quality was above average, and occasionally there were rare items for sale - the props produced in the Sean dungeon also had different quality, even green flowers and plants had different effects depending on their size.
In addition, the store manager here speaks nicely, and Luluwo's good impression of this store is growing.
After learning that Leon would come here to chat with Gong Qiying whenever he had time, Luluwo would occasionally come here to kill time. Of course, the ostensible reason was to buy supplies.
She lay on the counter like melting slime, with the sunlight shining through the window onto her body, making her feel so warm that she didn't want to move at all.
There seem to be quite a lot of products. I don’t know who the store manager, Maleda, is and who the supply channels are?
Although Luluwo sometimes has such doubts, she will not deliberately investigate unless Gong Qiying says anything. This is something that both she and Leon, or anyone else, would do because it is a respect for others.
There's a mysterious person who speaks nicely and seems to be a big shot opening a shop here to while away his time. Why don't you quickly build a good relationship with him?
Why bother to check someone's background? There's no point in knowing it, and it might even make them angry. It's good that everyone tacitly agrees not to talk about this kind of thing now.
However, apart from the rare goods that may appear, Luluwo has no other demand for this store. She just thinks Gong Qiying is interesting and comes to chat from time to time.
This store is often closed for several days at a time and is open for a short time. There are not many customers. All the customers who come here are regular customers like Luluwo, making people feel like this is everyone's secret base.
"By the way, store manager, is there any way to build good relationships with my partners?" Luluwo asked casually, "Recently, my team has recruited a large number of new people, and it feels like there is something missing in the relationship between everyone."
"That depends on what your team spirit is." Gong Qiying's voice came from the warehouse, a little vague.
"Team spirit? What does team spirit mean? Everyone is trying to get ahead, right? Or make money."
"Then your team spirit is a bit weak. Either spend some money or do more team building. Ahem, I mean do more team activities."
As he was talking, Gong Qiying had already packed the goods that Luluwo wanted and said:
"Here, a skull of the best quality to lure the enemy. It will surely make the monster unable to move when it sees it."
Luluwo could hardly take her eyes off it after taking one look. From this she knew that this was definitely a quality that she would find difficult to find in the dungeon.
"By the way, astrologers said that there will be a meteor shower that happens once in a century in the next two days. Why don't you take the newcomers in your team to watch the meteor shower?" Gong Qiying said.
"It's a meteor shower."
Luluwo couldn't remember the last time she saw a shooting star.
"Thank you, Manager. I will take everyone to see the shooting stars."
Not only do we have to watch the meteor shower, we also have to have a picnic, some shows, and so on. Wine is also indispensable to liven up the atmosphere so that everyone can have fun and get along well.
While carrying large and small bags back to the Skyrim Strategy Team's temporary base in the royal city, Luluwo kept thinking about how to make everyone familiar with each other quickly.
She was totally unaware that there were two sneaky people following her.
"Did you hear that? They're going out of town to watch the meteor shower soon."
"This is a good opportunity. Go back and report to the leader."
"Well, I thought it would take a few months of tracking before I could find an opportunity, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly."
The two discussed for a while and then entered the portal of the Sen dungeon.
Soon after, the news of the "once-in-a-century" meteor shower gradually spread among the crowd, and eventually turned into a super-large meteor shower viewing event. On the night when the meteor shower would occur, a huge army of stargazers occupied the suburbs.
Because today happens to be a holiday, there are a lot of people idle around.
"Oh my, why are there so many people here? It's too noisy." Luluwo had a look of disgust on her face. She had finally changed out of the cloak and latex suit combination and put on a brightly colored and loose long skirt. She seemed to be dressing up well and taking the "team building" of the Skyrim Strategy Group tonight very seriously.
"Then let's go back to Bed City, Captain." Berto also changed into casual clothes and said, "Because of the Sean Underground City, all the people in Bed City ran to the Royal City during the holidays. Bed City is now empty. It must be nice to watch the meteors there."
"I even ordered a delivery from the pub. Let's go back to Bed. I happen to know a nice cliff in the suburbs."
In this way, Luluwo brought the old members of the Skyrim Strategy Group, such as Berto, and several newcomers including Tammy, back to Bed City through Sean.
Just as Berto said, today's Bed City is rare and quiet. It seems that everyone yearns for the big city.
The only ones still left in Bed City were those who had not been able to unlock the transmission between Bed and the Royal City. The number was not small, but it was not as lively as before.
Luluwo believed that they would definitely find the best viewing spot where no one would disturb them tonight.
At night, on a cliff far away from human habitation, outside the city of Bed.
“Ouch—”
There seemed to be the howling of wolves in the distance, but this did not scare the Skyrim strategy team who were setting up tents and other things on the cliff.
There are not many monsters in the suburbs of Bed City, at most there are some wild beasts, and Tammy can break their necks with her bare hands.
In addition, today is a team-building day, so no one brought their usual weapons. At most, they brought some close-fitting daggers that would not affect their appearance.
The night sky is dotted with stars, and their light is brighter than ever. Even if the meteor shower fails to come, this scenery is enough.
"cheers!"
The shouts of the Skyrim Raiders team and the clinking of wine glasses broke the tranquility of the cliff. After a large glass of wine, even the most silent person would become a little more cheerful. People chatted in a buzz and the atmosphere was very good for a while.
"Ahem, on this important day, let me, the captain, say a few words."
"Clap, clap, clap!" Tammy was the first to start clapping. Berto looked at him in surprise, and then he also started clapping without giving in.
Is this newcomer too eager to improve?
"So. Then so."
At the beginning, everyone listened to Luluwo's speech seriously, but they didn't expect that she would talk longer and longer, and in the end she just kept repeating the same things over and over again. However, she seemed to be enjoying herself, as if she was addicted to it.
But the audience is left with nothing but torture.
But there is no way. Listening to the leader’s speech is an essential part of team building, and Luluwo has learned this without any guidance.
Tammy and others looked at Berto for help. He coughed twice and hinted at Luluwo with his eyes.
Unfortunately, the latter did not understand his deep meaning at all, and instead said to Tammy: "Tammy, go find the party games I packed. They are next to the package of ingredients."
"Okay."
The so-called party games were nothing more than cards, chess pieces and the like. Tammy remembered that she was responsible for carrying these things, so there shouldn't be any mistakes.
As soon as this thought came up, something went wrong.
"ah?"
After Tammy opened the package, she was stunned, because there was no party game in the package, but it was full of skulls to lure enemies!
Damn it, I got the wrong package!
"Tammy, you're not ready yet, come over here and have a toast."
"oh oh"
He went back and raised his glass, thinking about how to apologize to Luluwo.
"Then, for today's gathering and our future careers, let us raise our glasses together. Cheers!"
Finally, I have finished talking.
People smiled as if they were relieved, clinked their glasses to celebrate with each other sincerely, and drank to their heart's content that their ears were finally freed.
"Captain, that..."
Tammy walked up to Luluwo and was thinking of words, but at this moment, along with the sound of clinking glasses, there was a sound of something cutting through the air.
"puff--"
Blood bloomed on Luluwo's chest, and the wine glass fell to the ground. The smile that had just appeared on her face froze, and she only had time to utter a sound:
"Huh?"
An enchanted crossbow arrow pierced through her chest, and the tip of the arrow emerged from her back, with the magic runes attached to it flashing wildly.
"team leader!"
Everyone rushed over worriedly, but Luluwo used all her strength to kick Tammy, who was closest to her, away.
"boom!"
The next second, the arrow stuck in her body exploded.
