Chapter 29 Trapped
[Thanks to the 'ten minutes of waiting' and 'Fuhuali' for the generous reward. There will be recommendations starting next week, and it will be changed to two updates every day. Thank you for your continued support!]
There is really no need to worry about Luo Yu when killing monsters. Four people are enough. However, when siege the White Tiger, Luo Yu needs to help clear the harassment of the snow fox and look at Feng. If two white tigers appear at the same time, it is better for everyone to retreat quickly.
"Huh~ I'm hung up! What's out?"
"The white tiger's ears and a piece of tiger bone, damn! Is the white tiger's claws so difficult to hit?"
The fist complained that it had been three days since it had been brushing countless wild monsters. The snow fox fur and tail had already gathered enough to get a big white fox commander, but the white tiger claws were still not even seen. As for the other miscellaneous things, they also hit a lot. Unfortunately, there was no place to put the package in it, and they were all thrown on the ground and waiting for the system to refresh.
"Okay, take a break, it's time to replenish dry food."
Xiangxiang rubbed his arms. Although his body would not be sore or numb in his virtual body, he was still very mentally tired after a long battle.
"Hey, that...what is the name of that tramper?"
Zuo Xiaodao pointed at Luo Yu and shouted.
"Li Si, what are you looking for him?"
Fist looked at Luo Yu who was walking over the snow with curiosity, and inadvertently glanced at the Great Sword, who was silent.
"Yes, Li Si, go and grab a few snow rabbits and bring the broken pieces of meat."
As he said that, Zuo Xiaodao put away the short knife in his hand and collected branches in the woods. After a while, a fire was lit on the open space in the forest.
Everyone sat around the fire. In fact, it was not because they were afraid of the cold, but because this feeling was very interesting.
"I didn't expect you to barbecue? Have you learned the skills of a chef?"
Fist looked at Zuo Xiaodao who was barbecuing curiously. Zuo Xiaodao smiled and said, "I learned this by accident. The level is very low, so I can cook the meat. It is not delicious, but it can save dry food."
"Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Fist said casually, Dajian raised his eyelids and looked at him, but Zuo Xiaodao replied without any awareness: "I haven't remembered it long ago. I said that this skill was accidentally learned. But Xiangxiang, have you not learned the skills of a chef? Didn't it mean that girls have to learn how to cook before they can find a good husband?"
Xiangxiang curled his lips: "What's the use of knowing how to cook in the game? In reality... I'd better eat synthetic food, I don't have money."
"hehe..."
"It turns out that Xiangxiang is also a civilian class."
"Is it strange? Do I look like a lady?"
Zuo Xiaodao scratched his head and said, "I think every girl is a young lady, haha..."
Xiangxiang smiled faintly and couldn't say anything. A trace of fragrance came out of the rabbit meat, and the sword suddenly said: "It's burnt."
Zuo Xiaodao, who was a little stunned, quickly turned the piece of meat in his hand, smiled dryly, and his eyes drifted towards his fist with envy.
"Fist, you and Xiangxiang are very compatible! One practices the seven-injury boxing, and the other is the deputy doctor."
Fist smiled proudly: "No, we are still old classmates, haha..."
Xiangxiang rolled her eyes, too lazy to refute her fists.
The meat is cooked, but it doesn't taste very good. It's similar to dry food anyway. The only difference is that the barbecue is hot. Xiangxiang handed Luo Yu a piece, and Luo Yu swallowed the meat in a few bites. Anyway, he has no sense of taste and everything he eats is the same. As long as he can eat and it won't kill anyone.
A few more hours passed, and the sky was completely dark. The most worrying thing about fighting in the dark was that it suddenly encountered more than two white tigers, so at night, they had to stay near the fire to fight, and the rhythm of the battle naturally decreased a lot.
In the middle of the night, everyone was tired, so they decided to go offline and rest. However, before that, another important problem must be solved first. Luo Yu's employment time has come, and he cannot renew his contract in the wild.
"This employer, my employment time has come, and I will leave after midnight."
Fist and Zuo Xiaodao looked at Luo Yu standing in front of them in a sarcasm. Under the light of the fire, his face looked a little evil. Fist smiled and said, "Leave? Yes, but I forgot to tell you that because of the snow, the road we came was blocked."
Luo Yu didn't say anything. He knew about this. Unfortunately, even if he knew about the other party's conspiracy, Luo Yu was not allowed to voluntarily terminate the employment agreement when he entered the mountain.
Seeing that Luo Yu didn't speak, his fist smiled boringly and said embarrassedly: "You can choose to leave, but I suggest you'd better stay."
“There is no employment agreement in the wild.”
"We can make a gentleman's agreement. The fact is that if you choose to go back, then most of them will be halfway. If you are willing to stay, then we can continue to cooperate. We are responsible for protecting your safety, and you are responsible for protecting our camps and horses, mutually beneficial. What do you think?"
"Haha... Fist, you are stupid. This is an ordinary NPC. Is it useful to discuss it with him?"
Zuo Xiaodao smiled happily, but Fist didn't laugh, but looked at Luo Yu seriously: "Li Si, what do you think of my suggestions?"
“No commission?”
"No, I said it's mutual benefit."
Zuo Xiaodao looked at Luo Yu in surprise. Unexpectedly, Luo Yu really started discussing with his fist with his scheming. Why is this strange?
"When ordinary NPCs are facing difficulties, they can also make judgments based on their logical abilities and strive for results that are beneficial to themselves. This is not a secret, don't you know?"
Xiangxiang's problem was an explanation. Zuo Xiaodao blushed slightly. Of course he didn't know that he had never cared about these news. Zuo Xiaodao subconsciously looked at Dajian, and Dajian nodded, indicating that Xiangxiang was right.
Riot's plan has been told to everyone, but everyone is not optimistic about the value of this tramper. Originally, no one cared about Luo Yu's existence. The purpose of hiring Luo Yu was to transport items and supplies. It doesn't matter if he is lacking now, but Riot obviously considered more.
It makes sense for Luo Yu to stay. Luo Yu is like an activity warehouse, and Luo Yu will receive dry food distributed by the system, so they don’t need to provide food, and they don’t have to pay a commission. They can help watch the camp when they go offline. Such many benefits are just fools.
"If you don't do it, then I can wait for the snow to melt here myself, and I don't need your protection."
"Hehe, aren't you worried that we accidentally attract too many monsters?"
Fist smiled proudly, and Xiangxiang sighed secretly. Although Fist's approach is understandable, Xiangxiang still doesn't like Fist's behavior. Even if he is just calculating an NPC, who can calculate NPC today, who can guarantee that he will not calculate his former partners and former classmates tomorrow?
Xiangxiang turned his gaze away and saw a sarcasm sneer disappearing from the corner of Dajian's mouth. She was slightly stunned. Looking over again, Dajian was already staring at the fire with no expression, as if it was just her illusion just now.
"Two gold a day, I can continue to accept your employment and help you take care of the camp and horses."
Fist grinned: "Your thought is very dangerous."
Xiangxiang suddenly spoke, "Okay, I'll hire you. This is tomorrow's commission, and it's a daily payment."
Fist looked at Xiangxiang in surprise: "Xiangxiang, what are you doing? As long as we persist, this guy will definitely bow his head in the end."
"It's just two golds. These spoils are enough to offset them. If you don't want to give it up, then you can count me alone."
"This...well, it's up to you."
Fist looked at Xiangxiang deeply and said with some excitement: "Then I have something to do, I will go offline first. I will meet at 9 o'clock tomorrow. If you come early, don't go deep into the woods, be careful."
After saying that, the figure of the fist gradually faded, and then shattered into countless star chips with a bang, disappearing into the snow.
Zuo Xiaodao shrugged, smiled gloatingly and said, "Xiangxiang, fist is unhappy."
Xiangxiang ignored him, Zuo Xiaodao also went offline for boring, and finally Dajian nodded at Xiangxiang and went offline.
Xiangxiang sighed and looked up at Luo Yu standing in front of him: "I like to plot but I want to pretend to be sunny, but I just want to be generous. How could such a person be with me? Haha... well, I'll endure it for the White Fox suit!"
Luo Yu didn't make any noise.
"Hey, Li Si, you won't leave quietly, right?"
"Our branch has reached an agreement. If I charge you a commission, I will definitely do things according to the agreement."
"Haha, just kidding, I'll be happy if yours really slipped away."
Luo Yu was a little surprised. What else should I be happy about if I really slipped away from her?
Xiangxiang looked at Luo Yu's poker face, smiled helplessly and shook his head: "Why do I tell you this? OK, look at the camp, I'll go down, see you tomorrow."
Luo Yu subconsciously raised his hand and waved it. Xiangxiang was stunned, but her figure had already faded.
Luo Yu looked at Xiangxiang who had disappeared into star chips, and patted his right hand fiercely with his left hand: "Damn! Why can't you resist these habits?"
Luo Yu stood beside the fire, afraid that Xiangxiang would come back suddenly, and it would be bad if he was seen something wrong. However, after waiting for a long time, Xiangxiang's figure did not appear. Luo Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps she had not paid attention to her loss of composure at all.
In the second half of the night, Luo Yu was walking by the fire, killing the snow rabbit and snow fox who were trying to get close to the fire. When he was bored, he practiced boxing by himself, or went a little deeper to find a few wild monsters to fight, which could also earn some experience value. Although the mosquito legs are small, they are still flesh.
It was dawn the next day, and none of the four players went online. Luo Yu had to sit alone on the fire, bored and dazed. Seeing that the hunger was almost the same, Luo Yu was about to take out the dry food to eat, but the light suddenly flashed by the fire, and a slim figure appeared in the halo.
"It's early!"
"Hello."
Luo Yu did not answer wrong this time, and his face was as expressionless as ever. However, Xiangxiang smiled very interestingly. She stretched her waist with a smile, showing her graceful figure.
"Li Si, go and grab a few hares, I'll barbecue."
Luo Yu stood up and left without saying a word, but she was curious in her heart. It turned out that she could do the skills of a chef? Why didn’t she say that yesterday?
Xiangxiang's chef skills should be much better than Zuo Xiaodao's. At least it is incomparable from the aroma and appearance of the barbecue. The ones roasted by Zuo Xiaodao are also called barbecue? Xiangxiang makes people feel very appetizing at first glance.
Xiangxiang proudly handed the barbecue to Luo Yu: "Try it, how about it?"
Luo Yu took the barbecue and swallowed it in two bites. It smelled quite fragrant, but unfortunately it didn't taste anything.
Xiangxiang blinked: "Speak, is it delicious?"
Luo Yu was confused. How should I answer this? What is the standard answer of the system? Players would invite ordinary NPCs to eat barbecue, and would they ask if it tastes good?
"have no idea."
Xiangxiang was stunned, then sighed with disappointment, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared. She held the barbecue in her hand and ate it slowly without saying a word.
