Chapter 44 The Traveling Frog
Griffin!
Chocobo!
Mu You was so envious.
I didn’t expect that these famous magical creatures could be rented in a small broken village!
Unfortunately, he couldn't afford to rent it at all.
Any random magical creature would cost hundreds of years of deposit, and his total lifespan is only a few decades. This price is not prepared for a novice like him at all.
Mu You clicked on the text of 'Beast Keeper', and said to himself that I also keep pets, considering that everyone is in the same industry, can it be cheaper?
As a result, after searching for a long time, there was no option to bargain at all.
Finally, Mu You had no choice but to hold back his greed and rented a little donkey.
Of course, for a creature like a little donkey whose total value is only ten years, paying a deposit is basically equivalent to buying it out at a buyout price, and it is not worth returning it later. Even if it is returned, the boss may not be willing to refund the deposit.
【You paid a ten-year deposit to get the right to use the little donkey. You rode on the little donkey and left the village. 】
【You chose the road to the north. Going straight in this direction, you will enter the weird black forest. 】
【On the way, expected to arrive at the destination in 16 hours...】
For the first time in the game, a reminder to hurry up popped up, and it will take a full 16 hours to walk. During this period, his mobile phone must be turned on all the time, and he can't do anything else, he can only hang up.
Fortunately, the donkey’s physical strength is consumed by the journey, and his own physical strength will not be lost.
"16 hours, it will be evening..."
Mu You has nothing to do now, so he can only hang up the game and sleep.
In the end, before he could fall asleep, he just closed his eyes and wanted to check the battery level of his phone, only to find that a new event popped up on the screen.
【I met a black-spotted spider lurking on the side of the road and weaving a web! 】
【Your donkey was bitten to death by a black-spotted spider! Lifespan -1. 】
【Because of the influence of the invisibility cloak, the black-spotted spider didn't notice your existence. You survived. Did you take the opportunity to sneak attack the other party? 】
"Nimma, why don't you let people sleep?"
Mu You's face was black, he would lose money if the donkey was killed!
How many times the leased pet dies, the lifespan will be deducted from the deposit when he goes back to cancel the lease, so killing the donkey is equivalent to killing himself!
No way, it seems that I can't sleep, I have to look at my phone all the time, otherwise this donkey, who is worse than him, will die every time he touches a wild monster, who can stand it?
【You took out the bone-crushing knife, quietly approached the black-spotted spider, and killed it with one blow! 】
【You kill the black-spotted spider, life span +1, experience value +1, get spider venom gland*1, black-spotted spider silk*1. 】
…
【You continue to move forward on a donkey, and you see a jungle bat resting upside down on a tree branch, do you want to attack...】
"yes!"
【You killed a jungle bat, lifespan +1, experience value +1. 】
…
【You continue to move forward and see a charged eel in the stream by the roadside, using its glowing tentacles to attract other creatures to approach, whether to attack...】
"yes!"
【You killed the electrified eel, lifespan +1, experience value +2, thunder gland*1, glowing eyeball*2. 】
…
Sure enough, after leaving the village, the number of dangerous small animals along the way quickly increased, and you could almost bump into one within a few steps.
This kind of small animals of level one or two are no longer any threat to Mu You, especially now that he has an extra 'bone chopping knife', which can basically kill less powerful creatures with one blow.
As for the stamina consumed in battle... Anyway, killing monsters also loses lifespan. As much stamina is consumed, it is enough to use lifespan to come back. Killing monsters will not affect his journey.
Just staring at the phone until four or five o'clock in the morning, Mu You finally couldn't hold it anymore, suspended the schedule, quit the offline, and hurried to catch up on sleep for a while.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Mu You was woken up on time by the alarm clock, yawned, got up with dark circles under his eyes, and continued to play liver games.
In the past, the game mode used to be online for five minutes and offline for ten hours, but now it has suddenly become the liver emperor mode that is online for a whole day, which really makes him a little uncomfortable.
On the bed next to him, Coke had also cultivated a biological clock similar to his. At this time, he was also awakened by the alarm clock, and he got up and touched his phone to continue his anger.
After more than a week, this guy has over 500 episodes of Hokage! The mobile phone has been plugged in the charging cable all day and has not been unplugged, Mu You really feels ashamed.
The game is online, but it is still where it was suspended yesterday.
Mu You rode a donkey and continued on his way, but all kinds of weird little creatures jumped out to intercept him along the way.
Mu You does not reject anyone who comes, as long as it appears, he accepts it all, and seeing a little increase in experience points does not feel boring.
So dawdling until eight o'clock, the store's opening hours, the two hardworking girls have come to work on time, and their decadent store manager is too embarrassed to continue playing games in the house.
Mu You changed his clothes and got up, ready to go downstairs to show his presence as a store manager.
But at this moment, a new notification on the phone caught his attention.
【You continue to move forward on a donkey, and suddenly you see a pocket toad paddling in the stream under the woods. Do you want to chase it? 】
In the game, I encountered another unknown little monster.
However, unlike before, all the monsters he encountered before asked him, ‘Do you want to attack? ’, but this time it reminded him ‘Do you want to chase? '.
Attack, chase, this is a completely different concept!
Mu You had a premonition that this might be an unusual monster, and hastily clicked on the text of 'Pocket Toad'.
【Pocket toad is a magical creature with treasure-hunting intuition. It usually likes to wander around in the wild, searching for various treasures, and hides the treasures it finds in its belly pocket. Its pockets have a certain amount of space power, and can hold much more items than they appear. If you can catch it, you may be able to find treasure from its pockets! Do you chase? 】
Mu Youxin said what kind of mobile treasure chest it was, and chased it resolutely!
【Using the advantage of invisibility, you quietly approached the toad, jumped up, and rushed towards it! 】
【It's a pity that the pocket toad is alert by nature and has a very fast reaction. The moment you pounce on it, it jumps to the left and disappears into the jungle in an instant. 】
【You fell down in the pond, covered in muddy water, in a mess! 】
"Gan, I knew it wasn't that easy!"
Mu You hurriedly pressed the pocket watch.
【Back in time, you have returned to five seconds ago. 】
【You already know that the toad will jump to the left, so before you start catching, go to the jungle on the left and set up a trap in advance. 】
【You return to your original position and pounce on the toad again. The toad jumps up again, and with a snap, it just falls into the trap! 】
【You caught the pocket toad! And searched out a 'Phoenix Feather' from his pocket. 】
"pretty!"
Mu You's eyes lit up, and he thought he had to go back several times at least, but he caught it once. This toad doesn't seem so clever!
Hurry to check the harvest.
【Phoenix Feather: It can offset one death. When you die, you can choose to burn your feathers and resurrect on the spot with full blood. 】
"Awesome!"
Mu You was overjoyed after watching it.
Offsetting one death, this thing in the game means an extra year of life, but in reality, it is a real life!
Obviously, it would be too wasteful to consume this feather in the game. It must be taken out and used in reality in order to exert its value.
Mu You was just about to click on the text to take out the feather, when a new text popped up in the game.
【The pocket toad is struggling in your hands. It begs you not to kill it. It is willing to sign a contract with you and become your familiar. Do you accept the contract? 】
