Chapter 36: Card Acquisition
"I ...... Me, me. Just when the grocery store owner was panicking, the little boy suddenly shouted: "I stole the camera, not the grocery store owner, and it has nothing to do with him." β
Kao turned to look at the boy, "Where's the camera?" β
The little boy ran straight into the grocery store and after a few minutes took a camera out: "This is it, this is what I secretly hid in the grocery store owner's house." β
Kao nodded in agreement with the little boy's statement, after all, his purpose was only to retrieve the camera: "Then let's go back." β
"Well......" The little boy silently followed behind Kao.
β¦β¦
Return to the photo gallery: "Store manager, I found your camera for you." β
"Where?" The manager of the photography studio excitedly ran out to greet Kao.
Kao pointed to the little boy behind him, "I was found by your son in a bush after a serious search on the road. β
"My good son, it's really hard for you." The manager of the photo studio walked around Kao to the little boy, rubbed his head, and then reached directly to the camera in the little boy's hand.
At the moment when the manager of the photography studio was about to get the camera, the little boy who had been keeping his head down stepped back and avoided the hand of the manager of the photography studio, and said with tears in his eyes: "No, I can't give it to you." β
"What are you talking about? Hurry up and give the camera back to Dad. The manager of the studio grabbed the hand of the little boy who wanted to escape.
"Anyway, I can't give it to you." The little boy crouched down and clung to the camera, refusing to let go no matter what.
The little boy's behavior made the face of the manager of the photography studio suddenly become very ugly, and he raised his right hand angrily: "Quickly return the camera to Dad." As he spoke, he slapped the little boy.
Just as the slap was about to slap the little boy, Kao grabbed the hand of the studio manager and threw him into the store with a flick.
The manager of the studio "crackled" and knocked over a large piece of tape and equipment, then fell to the ground, struggled to get up and scolded Kao: "What do you want!?" βγ
"Anyway, it's not right to beat your own son......" Although Kao knew that this was the plot of the mission, he still couldn't help but make a move.
Kao walked up to the little boy and crouched down and asked in as kind a tone as possible, "Why don't you want to give your dad back the camera?" β
The little boy raised his head and said bitterly, "Because I don't want to see my dad immersed in his dead sister anymore." β
"Ever since my sister died, the camera has had the magic to take pictures of people in the past. Dad took the camera and ran to all the people my sister knew before to take pictures of them, pictures of them when they were with their sister. β
The little boy clutched the camera in his hand as if he wanted to smash it: "Not only that, but then Dad ran out into the street, went to the place where his sister had been, and when he saw someone passing by, he would go up and ask for someone to take a picture, just to get the traces of his sister who had passed there." β
"Dad is taking pictures and looking at pictures every day, missing and crying every day, and I don't want Dad to go on like this anymore." The little boy looked at his dazed father with tears streaming down his face.
Kao patted the back of the studio manager: "Hug your son, cherish the person in front of you more, don't hurt him again." β
Kao stepped away, and the curator of the photography shop came to the boy apologetically and took him into his arms.
Just when Kao sighed about the father and son, the space shook slightly, and the father and son, together with the entire photography studio, "Bang! The sound turned into a card and floated towards Kao.
Kao reached out and grabbed the card: "B-25 Memory Gallery." Is B-grade rare?,But this difficulty is probably just a level.γ β
Just as Kao was about to leave, something very important suddenly came to mind: "So what about my 100,000 J?" Won't you be paid for completing the task according to this Dzogchen route? β
β¦β¦
Cat House. on a dining table.
Kao, who has been in the game for almost a day but has not eaten and has no money, decides to come to the cat house to challenge the Big Stomach King competition.
"As long as you finish eating in thirty minutes, it's free, and I'll give you Garuga as a gift." A fat-faced cat in a chef's uniform brings a large bowl of pasta to Kao.
"Suck ~ so fragrant!" Seeing the pasta served, Kao picked up his fork and couldn't wait to eat it.
Ten minutes later, "Oopsβthat's a defeat for you!" I ate it in 10 minutes. β
After speaking, the chef cat walked to the kitchen with a depressed face: "I'll go get the prize." β
"It's been a long wait, this is Garugata." Chef Cat hands Kao a card.
"So 30,000 J will be in hand, hiccup~" Kao took Garuga.
β¦β¦
Leaving the cat house Kao and going to the exchange shop, he bought a drink after exchanging Garuga for 30,000 J, and thought as he walked: "Anyway, I really want to use the magic in the game, so I decided to go to the magic city of Mathadora at the first stop." β
"But before then, I have a bounty on my hand......" Kao pulled out the bounty from his pocket that would lead to the Dark Emerald.
β¦β¦
Kao left Andochba in the position on the bounty and walked a full four or five kilometers north to reach his destination.
Looking at the verdant forest in front of him, he could hear a few birds chirping from time to time: "Is this where the Great Demon lives?" It always feels very ordinary. β
Walking into the forest, Kao searched for the traces of the archdemon.
As night fell, Kao looked at the sky and said to himself, "Find a tree and rest for the night."
A fire suddenly lit up not far away, and Kao decided to go and see who would be here at that late hour.
As he walked through the woods, Kao saw a shirtless man sitting by the fire and staring at the fire in a daze.
"Hey!" Kao stepped out of the bushes and greeted the man.
The man was startled, then came back to his senses and looked at Kao, "Hello. β
"Why are you here so late? Did you accept the bounty from the Great Demon like me? Kao came and sat down by the fire across from him.
"Great Demon, are you here to find the Great Demon?" The shirtless man looked at Kao.
"Yes, look." Kao nodded, taking out the bounty in his arms.
"Anyway, it always feels like a strange smell, huh? What is this that you burned? Kao hadn't felt it yet, but he could clearly smell a strange burning smell as he sat down by the fire.
Looking into the fire, Kao saw a corpse that was almost burned to ashes......
"Could it be you?" Kao immediately looked up at the shirtless man.
I saw that black gas continued to emerge from his body, his skin slowly emerged with scales, and strange sharp horns appeared on his forehead.
Scratching at his body, he stood up and approached Kao and pleaded, "Yes, I am the Great Demon, and I am the bounty." Please, kill me. β
With that, black gas covered his eyes, and the brown pupils and whites of his eyes turned into ink.
