Chapter Forty-Nine: Turning Over the Cabinet

About three hours after the break, Pandora and Apelia woke up in a daze.

During this time, they have not had a good rest after running around with me, and this time it can be said that they have rested peacefully for a while.

After walking a distance in the cave, my HP suddenly changed.

"HP dropped?"

My eyes were looking ahead, but there was no enemy ahead.

Because I didn't feel pain or discomfort, I ruled out ghost-type monsters.

I looked at the ground and found that the texture of the ground was a little different, so I stretched out my right foot and stepped on it, and found that my HP had dropped again.

"I see.........

I haven't encountered it so far, so I didn't pay attention to it, and this cave is set with traps.

I looked around and saw several giant rat monsters wandering not far away.

"Pandora."

Hearing my command, Pandora transforms into a gun, and I shoot a few times near the foot of the giant rat monster in front of me.

Hearing the sound, the giant rat monster looked around and saw that I was pointing a gun at them not far away.

"Tsk!"

The giant rat monsters rushed at me in a frenzy, only to be killed by traps.

There are many traps on this path, namely [Paralysis Trap], [Poison Trap], [Life Absorption Trap], etc

There are all kinds of traps that appear, and they don't look like monsters or official ones.

"Are there any other players here.........

Since it is a trap skill, the monster is not completely dead, but it is just immobile.

Stepping on their bodies through this trap path, I turned around and shot, sending them all to the western sky.

"It means cruelty, and the owner has simply squeezed out all their use value."

Killing a frog-type slime with our hands on our hands, we came to a hall.

The hall in front of you is three times as large in length and height as the inside of a cave that has only been seen until now.

There are no enemies around, only a house at the end of the hall.

I led Pandora and Apelia to the house.

There were no living people or corpses in the house, but there were all sorts of strange objects.

It looks like a secret hut that some bad old man secretly built to hide from his wife.

As soon as you enter the house, the oil lamp on the wall is lit, and it is supposed to be a perceptual type of magic.

"Ernie sauce, according to the mission, this should be the place where the mentor lives."

Emperia walked over to the bookcase, picked up a book and examined it.

"Boredom, sweep."

"Agreed, Pandora came to help!"

The house is not very big for us, but it is about the same if it is inhabited by one person.

There are several paintings hanging on the walls, as well as three bookshelves and a rudimentary bed.

Apelia seemed to be very interested in the books on the shelves, and when she heard me say sweeping, she couldn't wait to put the books in her backpack.

I took a copy from the shelf and flipped through it, and found that they were fairy tales, and handed the book to Apelia, and I searched elsewhere.

The design of this house is very strange, the door opens to the bedroom, the kitchen is in the inner room, and Pandora is looking for food inside.

"Strange, I smell the food?"

I looked around, and in addition to pots and pans, there were only props that consumed MP ignition.

Pandora seemed to have found something, and squatted on the ground with a kitchen knife to chop.

"Agree, master, there's food down here!"

I walked over to see that there was an underground food warehouse where Pandora was, and Pandora was holding a kitchen knife and chopping the iron lock.

I pulled Pandora apart, grabbed the lock in my hand and tugged hard, and with a crisp crack of the lock, I opened the underground food store.

Pandora, who was a little excited, jumped in immediately, and after I called out to Apelia, I jumped in too.

Cheese, smoked meat, and some barrels with red wine.

I tried pouring a glass of red wine, and it tasted a little bitter, but the sweetness and acidity were very balanced, and the overall style was unique and evocative.

"Yes, it's delicious."

Toss all the barrels into your backpack, and that's the way the game's backpack is, no matter how heavy it is.

Pandora was even more exaggerated, basically except for the things that could not be eaten, the entire food in the ingredient library was packed into her backpack.

Leaving from the underground food storehouse, I remembered a few paintings on the wall and walked back to my bedroom, where I was ready to take the paintings.

"Looks like it's worth a lot."

The moment I took off the painting, there was a button on the wall behind it.

Without hesitation, he pressed it, and the wall in front of him rotated, about the size of a door.

The next thing that appeared in front of me was a treasure chest, which I opened and examined.

A worn cloth bag containing a bag of gold coins and gems, several magic books, and several scrolls containing one-time magic.

Pick up the magic book and read it carefully, [potion making] [synthesis] [decomposition]

"Alchemy?"

These are several skill books about alchemy skills, and they are very high in level.

Putting everything in our backpack and calling out to Pandora and Apelia, we walked out of the house.

"Ernie-chan, is it really okay to just take other people's things?"

"The player goes to the NPC's house and rummages through the cabinets, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Seeing that it was already night, and that the NPC I was looking for might be here, I decided to rest here.

Because of the abundance of food, Pandora and Apelia are a bit unscrupulous.

I drank the red wine I brought on the side, and although I didn't drink much myself, I couldn't help but taste good.

Beckoning the two of them into the room to sleep, I began to learn skills by the fire at the door.

After a night's rest, we didn't wait for the NPCs, and we set off deeper into the cavern.

Soon an insect-type slime jumped up, and I tried [Crafting] and [Disintegrating] by chance.

Squat on the ground and slap your hands on the ground.

A large hole appeared in the ground below the slime, and the slime just fell straight down.

As soon as the hands were closed, the big holes merged, and they returned to their original shapes, and my experience went up a little bit.

Use [Disintegration] to turn the ground into its original sand and stones, and when the enemy falls in, restore what you just [decomposed] to its original state through [Craft].

Because the enemy was also there, he was directly crushed to death.

"Although alchemy is not suitable for fighting, you can still find a way to fight with your brain."

Setting off again, a sense of disobedience followed, and Apelia also found out.

"Ernie chan, it's strange, there were basically corpses a few steps away when we went in, but after passing through the hall, the corpses couldn't be seen at all."

I looked at where the slime had disappeared and didn't respond.

As soon as the intersection was crossed, a green liquid and some human clothes appeared on the ground.

"Object, master, this place is disgusting, just like the bug before."

As if remembering a bad memory, Pandora pulled Apelia away from me.

Continuing inside, a nest appeared in front of my eyes.

There were a few giant slimes in the lair that were shaking, and since they were transparent, I could clearly see that there were humans in their bodies.

They must have just eaten, and their clothes haven't even dissolved yet.

"Two NPCs and two players........

If you guessed correctly, it should be these two players who took the escort mission to protect the two NPCs to go to the cave.

As a result, they couldn't defeat the slimes, and they were eaten as food instead.

It seemed to be sober, and one of the female players saw me not far away, very anxious and excited.

As soon as she opened her mouth, the green liquid in the slime's body entered her mouth.

"What to do, Ernie sauce, do you want to save them?"

“............”

Suddenly, my eyes flashed, and I took out a piece of paper from my backpack, wrote a few words, and held it up to her.

The player inside the slime nodded when they saw the words on the paper.

I beckoned Pandora and Emperia to come forward.

"Ready to get something."
