Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle
Lesson 681: Money is with you
"Uuuu. My stomach is about to be chopped open..."
"I'm sorry, I didn't check it properly."
After the two of them managed to eat the giant omurice, Maple and Fu left the [New World] with a bloated belly.
In any case, it should not be a quantity that fits physically, but it is probably because this is the world of virtual reality that we have been able to overcome with the spirit that we have cultivated over the years of training.
"Normally, the time limit has been exceeded." money..... "
My belly was filled, but Hu's nostrils were cold.
If you finish your challenge menu in time, the price will be free. However, it took more than an hour for two people to follow, so naturally thousands of bits disappeared.
It's a very painful expense for Hu, who hasn't left the beginner's field yet.
"Why are you doing that...?" I wish I had just green tea. "
"Even though you and I have formed a party, you miss just having a drink."
Maple shrugged her shoulders as she stretched her chest out.
I made her think a little bit whether it was because she was the daughter of a cook.
It is one of the few restaurants in the village, and the Ryugoku Pavilion is sometimes used for small celebrations. I didn't go all the way to Man Han, but I was grateful that they handled even the most lavish course meals.
Is the [White Deer] Letty eating it by herself?
On the contrary, it seems that they achieve the Mithril level every week.
"It's a bakemon."
The maples ate the easiest bronze on the challenge menu. What amount would it be if it were a Mithril class five steps higher than that? He shuddered.
In the meantime, let's go out to the field.
"That's right....... I'm not feeling much pain anymore."
"I didn't put anything in my real stomach bag." No matter how much you eat, you won't get fat, and virtual reality is fine. "
Can you say that now that you've eaten so much? and the maple remembers the battle. My wife sometimes says, "Is the sweet thing another belly?"
Anyway, the two of them finally rolled out to the field.
"The town of" "Susanoo" "is connected to the" "Meadow of Beginnings" "field from any gate." For now, let's fight there. Onee-san will show you around. "
"Onee-san, I think I'm older than you..."
Maple inadvertently puts his hand on his neck at the words of Hu, who walks lightly on the main street.
He's an old man with a good year's worth, but he looks young in his teens. From the side, Fu looked a little older.
"VR (here) doesn't really matter, does it?" In that case, I'm your older sister with a long history of FPO. "
"I guess that's the way it is." Well then, thank you very much. "
The two of them crossed the tall city walls that surrounded the city and went out into the meadows, where the terrain was gentle. There were novice players like maples and native creatures like big chickens scattered in the [Meadow of the Beginning], where the bright sunlight was pouring in.
"That chicken is called" Cockbeak "." It's not too strong, but at first, I think you're afraid to fight, and onee-san will show you how to do it. "
"Huh? I don't mind..."
Well, well, leave it to me!
Chickens have been strangled many times, and it's probably easier to fight than real life. Nevertheless, before he could finish, Maple could not help but refuse it for that reason, and Maple decided to take a close look.
"This is my weapon." It's called "Woodpole."
Huu grabbed the Sky Cloud Sword that was hanging from his waist belt and transformed it into a weapon form. It was a simple cane of scorched brown color. It is about 1.5 meters long and has no decoration. If you're used to games, it's an incredibly early weapon.
In fact, Hu's [Staff Magic] skill reached level 10, a new face he had just bought in the [Susanoo] market. She herself has only used it a few times.
Alright, let's go!
Aiming at the nearby Cockbeak, Hu begins the battle.
"[Intimidation]! Hey!"
Raising a mighty voice, he surprised Cockbeak, who was poking the grass. Fuu waved his staff at the confused opponent by the sudden horror.
[Crushing!
The swaying cane slams the back of the bird on the side. However, the tough skeleton and feathers that support a large body don't work very well.
Fu, who had originally assumed that, moved to the next "mold" without putting his hair in.
"What are you doing in three rows!?"
However, the cockbeak strikes back at the timing of the "vocalization". Without regrets, he unleashes his tough legs that he has built up in the wild, spreading his brown wings and jumping.
Just the size of his body slowed Hu down his movements in amazement.
Cockbeak pointed his sharp claws at her, not missing that clear gap.
”- [Slash!]”
However, the sharp slash knocks down the bird before its blade tears Fu's face apart.
Wow!? Maple!
"It's not good to stand in front of the opponent." If possible, you should attack from behind, even if not from the side of your body. "
With the usual habit of pointing out problems with Fu's behavior, the maple stands in front of the sword. Even after receiving Fu's [Crushing Strike] and Maple's [Slash], Cockbeak now has about half his HP left.
"Cockbeak's mouth and nails are weapons, so you just have to be careful with them." Spreading your wings-- "
Cockbeak spreads his wings as he glances at the maple that was raging into the battle. It was a threatening pose, but the maple swung its sword without cowardice.
"Rather, it exposes weaknesses."
Swing down and swing up. Two instant slashes tear apart the roots of Cockbeak's wings.
The red effect blew out, and Cockbeak's HP was heavily cut. A frightening scream came, but it wasn't desperate yet.
"Ugh! If it were real, it would have cut off here."
The reason why Maple can't defeat Cockbeak is because of his simple abilities and low stats. The weakest native creatures in the first field are not easily defeated with the initial gear, which has the lowest Attack Rating in near-initial Abilities.
But...
Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
From the blind spot of Cockbeak, who is angry at the maple, a cane is quickly pounded in succession. Three beatings dropped the bird to the ground and scrapped its health.
The end is simple, I'll hit you!
Looking at the few HP left, Huu releases his final attack. A normal attack that wasn't even a technique cut Cockbeak off.
"Phew. Let's get up together."
Wiping the sweat off his forehead with his finished face, Fu turned back toward the maple that held the sword in its sheath.
Thank you, Maple. You're really strong.
Yeah, well, the last attack was good.
Even after I cut my wings, the maple would still be able to fight. However, the battle was prolonged due to insufficient attack power.
Just for a few days, Fu's attack power ahead of him made it possible to end the battle early.
"But it was amazing!" Because I was the first to win unharmed. "
"Yeah... you've been losing so far."
Well, I didn't lose, but you've been attacked once or twice, so here it is.
Saying that, Hu shows off his belt.
There were several glass test tubes inserted in it, and there was a light green drug solution enclosed in it.
We also have a LP recovery ampoule, right?
You use it every time you fight.
Yeah. That's why you can't save up so much money.
Huu smiled bitterly and scratched his cheek.
The LP Recovery Ampule is the cheapest grade, but it costs a lot to use one per fight.
"That's why I got my hands on [cooking] skills." If you grill your own hunted chicken and rat meat, your food costs will rise, and you can sell raw meat a little higher than it is. "
Surveyors have the status of hunger and throat moisture. It is an indication of how full your stomach is and how dry your throat is. If both fall below a certain value, you will have restrictions on your behavior.
If it is really early, you can get the standard supply ration and water bottle from the NPC in the central control area, but if you pass level 10 with one skill, you will not receive it.
It was also a stone's throw away from the fighting profession to temporarily take on [cooking] skills.
"You should buy an ampoule holder, too, Maple." If I had chosen the Warrior Pack for the ampoule itself, I would have had a few. "
"I see.... I don't think it's a good idea for now."
"Huh!?"
Fuu was the one who gave advice, but Maple thought for a moment and shook her head. He gave a bitter smile to Hu, who swelled his cheeks unhappily.
"From the looks of it, I think I can handle a movement like Cockbeak." If you don't hit it, you won't be able to recover your LP, will you? ”
"That's... no, no, no!" LP is consumed even when using the technique. For now, we need to be able to use the ampoule at any time. "
Fu was convinced by the confident words of the maple, but he just stopped thinking.
For surveyors, LP is a quantity of life, as well as a quantity of action. Whether they're attacked or let go, they're either way reduced.
"If you say so..."
Maples, who had completely forgotten about it, checked their LPs on the edge of their line of sight.
They weren't attacked by Cockbeak, but they were down a bit due to the use of Slash.
“Tell me where you're selling later. Also, can you increase your attack power with gear?"
"Of course! Leave it to oneesan!" It's a little bit more aggressive, but I also have an assignment to get accessories. "
Fuu nodded with satisfaction at the maple that obeyed honestly.
In that case, the first thing is gold. Fu approaches the defeated Cockbeak and collects the dropped items.
"I really want to improve my [dismantling] skills." But I couldn't buy a dismantling knife. "
"[Dismantling] skill..." Or "Defend native creatures and get food efficiently." The main skill is the ability to increase the number of drop items. "
“That's right, that would increase the efficiency of our measures.”
I have to save up some money, and Huu is blurry.
In that case, I thought that I would have to ask for a challenge menu in [Xintiandi] again, but I swallowed the words. It was a way of welcoming her.
"You can make money." I'll take care of it this time. "
"I see, that's right. Yeah, well then, onee-san will keep an eye on you."
Next time, I want to see what I can do. That's how the maple advances. Huu nodded and stood up.
They walked through the meadow in search of their next prey.
