Chapter 117: The Adventure Begins Again
"I don't have a problem with going to the grocery store, but I only have 2,000 funds, what can I buy?"
On the quiet path, I followed Alain Bell's instructions to the grocery store she was talking about.
Alan Bell said to me with a wicked smile on his face and a twinkle in his eyes.
"Of course the concubine has thought of this problem, there is a treasure chest at the back of the grocery store, although it is locked, but you can't [unlock]."
"I'm not a thief by profession, but I like to open treasure chests."
As they spoke, they came to the door of the grocery store, which was made of stone like the surrounding houses, except for the signboard that hung it.
Instead of going straight in, we sneaked around to the back of the house, and sure enough, a red treasure chest was quietly placed there.
I crouched in front of the treasure chest and used the [Unlock] skill, and a panel popped up in front of me that read.
【Grocery store owner Brown's private money】
10% success rate of unlocking
Looking at the panel in front of me, I said to Alan Bell with some difficulty.
"The success rate of unlocking is only 10%, which is too low."
"As long as it's not 0, you have a chance, try to improve your proficiency more, and just upgrade your [lockpicking] skills."
By the way, life skills can be used to increase proficiency, and they can be upgraded as soon as the proficiency is full, up to level ten.
I sighed deeply, I have no other choice but to obediently squat here to open the treasure chest.
Turning my gaze back to the panel, I reached out and clicked OK, then waited for the progress bar to move forward.
With a "click", the lock on the treasure chest was actually opened, and under Alainbell's shocked gaze, I took out the contents of the treasure chest.
"Congratulations to the player for getting 1W of funds at night, congratulations to the player for getting the material [Lucky Clover] at night, and congratulations to the player for getting the skill book [Imitation] at night."
"The concubine finally knows why Gaia is so interested in you, in a sense, have you been blessed by Tika?!"
Ignoring Alain Bell's nagging, I looked at the skill book I had taken out of the chest.
[Imitation]
Use level: 10
Skill description: In battle, you can choose one of the opponent's skills, and the effect and damage are subject to the opponent's attributes.
This skill couldn't be more suitable for my current self, and without further ado, I learned this skill immediately.
"Can I only use it 10 times a day.........
Turn off the panel, although I'm a little sorry for the grocery store owner, but I'm forced to be helpless, and if you want to blame Alain Bell's [equivalent exchange].
Next, I'm going to try out the weapon's evolution system, take out the [Lucky Clover] and place it on the black gem on the back of my right hand.
With a dim glow, the material disappears, revealing a four-leaf clover pattern on the black gemstone. Opening the weapon panel again, I noticed that the [Gauntlet] had changed.
【Lucky Fist Gauntlet】
Quality: Normal
Luck +10%
Weapon Description: Absorb the luck of the four-leaf clover, and become even luckier.
"Forget it, I don't have much hope anymore, even if it increases attack power, it's still a floating cloud for me."
Seeing through everything, I returned to the door of the grocery store and began to go inside to find the good things that Alain Bell had said.
As soon as I entered the door, a behemoth flew towards me, and my figure dodged him, and the behemoth fell to the ground hard, causing a lot of dust.
"You scumbag, let's get a divorce!"
At the grocery store counter, a fat middle-aged woman, the wife of the grocery store owner, was touching tears with a handkerchief.
I looked at the behemoth lying on the ground, apparently the grocery store owner, Brown.
"Well, you're okay."
I reached out to pick up Brown, who had a bright red slap mark on the left side of his face, and it was evident from his lost front teeth and the nosebleeds that the proprietress had dealt a proper critical blow.
"Sorry to make you laugh."
"What's going on?"
"Listen to me, guest officer!"
The proprietress flipped over the counter, stunned by her athletic posture, and then she ran towards me quickly, making me feel the ground tremble with every step she took.
The proprietress pointed to the boss who had almost seen God just now and said to me.
"This scumbag actually forgot our wedding anniversary, you said he didn't go too far!"
Brown whispered in my ear.
"Actually, I didn't forget it at all, I just wanted to surprise her, but I didn't expect ..........."
"Now in this situation, don't think about being surprised or not, quickly take out the gift and explain it."
Brown nodded palely, but now he didn't have the strength to get the present.
"This guest, I'm sorry, I'm having a hard time walking now, please help me get it, put it in the treasure chest at the back of the grocery store, this is the key."
“............”
I took the key with my trembling right hand, then turned to Alan Bell and asked.
"What should I do?! The gifts are all in my backpack slot! And two of them have already perished! ”
"Concubine..... How does the concubine know?! Do you want the concubine to turn back time or hack into their computer to help you make another one? ”
"You can't turn back the time, maybe you can try the latter method!"
"Don't be strong! If you are discovered by Eros, I will destroy you in your novice state! ”
"Then why aren't you afraid of being discovered by it when you become a support puppet?!"
"The auxiliary doll was given by kryptonite, I bought one with your money, so I won't be discovered!"
"Nani? You're secretly spending my money again?! ”
"Now is not the time to talk about this!"
Seeing that Alain Bell and I were arguing and almost fighting, Brown asked worriedly.
"This guest, are you inconvenienced?"
We both turned around at the same time and replied to Brown with a weak heart.
"No..... Nothing, just a cordial conversation between me and the support doll. ”
I bit my nails and lowered my head, my brain was thinking wildly, and now there was only one way, and that was to pray that the proprietress didn't like the gift prepared by the boss.
"Old ..... Boss lady, what do you want the boss to give you most on your wedding anniversary? ”
The proprietress tilted her head and began to think, and then she whispered to me.
"Actually, I don't expect that Muggle to give me anything good, I'm not afraid that the guest officer will make fun of you, that idiot before actually gave me a skill book for forging."
I have to say, Brown is also straight enough, although I also want to tell her that this time your husband has prepared another skill book, but I can't say it.
The hostess then said to me.
"Actually, I've heard that in the cottage on the north side of town, there lives an elf, and the flowers she grows can be said to be very beautiful, and I would like her bouquet of flowers if I can."
Seeing the glimmer of hope, I gave a thumbs up to the proprietress and said.
"The proprietress really deserves to be a temperamental, leave this matter to me!"
With a "drip", a task panel popped up in front of me.
Quest Name: Find the Elven Flower
Mission Description: Head to the cabin in the woods to the north, get the flowers planted by its owner, and give them to Brown.
Reward: Treasure Chest Key X1, 1000 XP
Secretly told Brown the proprietress what she thought, and after listening to it, he said that as long as you give him the [Elven Flower], the contents of the treasure chest behind the house will be given to me.
Walking out of the grocery store, I sighed deeply, but I didn't expect to go around and back again.
Open the map to check, the forest hut is a few hundred meters away from the novice town, and there is a monster like [Little Fox] on the road, although it is only level 1.
But monsters like little foxes usually act in groups, and once they are surrounded, then I have only one way to die.
I can't help it, I can only rely on the other two people at the moment.
"It's only been time, they should have created a good character to come in."
Open the friends panel, type in their name and add it, and it didn't take long for the message that they had passed.
Send a message to tell them they need help and wait for them at the gate of the newbie town.
