Chapter 57: Opportunity
Mochi decided to occupy the commanding heights near the jasper mine to collect information and intelligence before the war, and to effectively process the information based on the aggregated information and establish a long-term feedback mechanism.
This may sound high-end, but in fact, the so-called occupying the high ground is to climb the highest tree nearby; The so-called gathering of information and intelligence means that Mochi looks carefully with wide eyes; The so-called aggregation of information is to tell Anvina under the tree what she has seen; The so-called feedback mechanism with long-term feedback is to chat with Anvina under the tree when you are bored.
This was the case in the era of abundant concepts, where countless ordinary things were dressed in ornate garments. The takeaway business of the restaurant is called the O2O business model of the catering industry, the advertising brochures on the street are called CD magazines, the online fraud active in the circle of friends is called crowdfunding, a literature lover who does not like to go to work is called an online writer (the author of this book), and the method of defrauding money that a group of Internet addicted teenagers come up with is called Internet thinking...... There are too many seemingly beautiful things to delve into, and the most indelible of them is the plan that Mochi has formulated.
After observing for a whole day, Mochi came up with a battle plan - lure the enemy deep and break them one by one.
To deal with Captain Kaidon, you must first avoid the guards around him. When will the guards be separated from Captain Caedon? When Kaidon and [Spider Tamer Salus] were alone. After the collapse of the jasper mine, Kaidong's mood was depressed. Fearing punishment from his superiors, he would seek comfort from Salus from time to time.
This was the perfect time for Mochi to make a move.
Of course, having the time does not mean that they can use force in a bright and open manner. As long as Salus or Kaidon alerted the guards, all three of them would be besieged by the guards.
After much thought, Mochi decided to separate the two of them and settle them one by one.
The spider tamer Salus is very fond of her pet spider [Baby], and Moqi observes the details of her applying nail polish to her pet spider.
And to catch the baby, you need to use its favorite food as bait. And what does the baby like to eat the most? The answer is Fishman. So where do you find the fish-people? Unfortunately, Mochi himself is a fish-man.
So there was such a scene. While Salus comforts Captain Cadon, Mochi stands in a corner where only the baby can see and provokes the baby in some kind of courtesy provocation.
Legend has it that this ritual dates back to the end of the Third War. The Ranger Archers inflicted heavy losses on the Scourge Legion, who vowed to cut off the Elven Archer's bow fingers after defeating the Ranger Legion. But as a result, the Scourge Legion was defeated. As the Scourge retreated, the elven archers stretched out the fingers of their right hand to show off their still existing fingers.
Sensing the malice in Mochi's gesture, the baby screamed and rushed towards Mochi, who was hiding behind the pine tree, and the result was predictable.
The poor spider first ate Akalin's blow, then Moqi's "falling stone attack", and was about to call out to his master, when he was knocked unconscious by Akalin's sneak attack. Under the siege of the trio, the poor spider did not last long, and his health was quickly wiped out.
After a few more minutes, the spider tamer Salus noticed that her spider pet was missing, and she said to Captain Caedon, "My baby has gone nowhere, I need to look for it......"
Salus searched the surroundings and finally found the baby spider crushed into a patty under a pine tree.
Salus crouched down and said, "Hmm...... It looks like my baby, but my baby shouldn't be so flat......"
Before she could finish her joke, a falling rock slammed into her head and knocked her unconscious. At the same time, Akalin appears from behind him, and picking up the dagger will take him away with a set of combos.
Of course, the reason why Akarin was able to use a set of skills to empty Salus's HP was also inseparable from Moqi's guidance to Akarin. In his previous life, Mo Qi had been attacked by thieves countless times, and he had long been familiar with the thieves' output methods. With a few words of instruction, Akalin made Salus cry out before she died.
Mochi found a book on the dead spider tamer -
【Salus's Taming Diary】
"The method of domesticating cave spiders recorded in detail above, this notebook may be able to change the fate of the Broken Fin Mud Fishman."
Note: Using this item will trigger a quest.
……
After Moqi chose to use it, a new quest was immediately triggered-
【An opportunity to change your fate】
Mission Description:
This is a book on how to domesticate spiders, and giving it to the Broken Fin Mud Fish-Man may bring about a change in the fish-man's village.
Rewards:
2300 XP, 4 Silver and 50 Bronze.
……
Seeing the contents of the diary, Anvina was very keenly aware of the value of this diary: "Mr. Mochi, this diary records the detailed method of domesticating spiders, perhaps...... Maybe we can teach the fish people in the village how to domesticate spiders so that they don't get bullied anymore. ”
Mochi shook his head: "It's better not to expect too much...... What you see as an act of help may not be appreciated by others. We'll just bring this journal to them, and the rest will be up to them. By the way, there's one more thing......"
"What's the matter?" Anvena asked.
"Before you give it to them, remember to translate the contents of the log to me." When it comes to the opportunity to domesticate pets, Mochi naturally won't miss it. Even if it's not as powerful as a baby hunter, multiple beast helpers are always good.
"Shhhhh Captain Cadon is here. Akalin reminded aloud.
Mochi and Avena dragged Salus's body into the bushes and quickly climbed the tree. With two companions missing, Kaidon, who is a level 22 golden elite, has nothing to fear. This is the advantage of having a fellow high-level thief, who has a unique advantage when facing a lone enemy.
Things turned out just as Moki had predicted, as Caidon emerged in the bushes and was first hit by rocks thrown by Mochi and Anvina, and then suffered a combo from Akarin.
Captain Caedon's HP was much higher than that of the spider tamer Salus, and the three of them tried their best to make him cry out before he died. Naturally, the sound caught the attention of the guards, who were patrolling around and immediately rushed to their location.
"Mr. Mooch, they've found out." Avena reminded.
"Right away!" After Moqi fumbled around with Kaidong for a while, he quickly found the quest item he needed-
【Soft shoulder armor】
Shoulder
8 armor
+3 Agility
+3 stamina
The fins of the mud gills are still made of something.
……
"Let's go!" After finding the quest item, Moqi chose to flee without hesitation. Following a pre-selected escape route, they bypassed the wooden house in front of the cave and fled the scene through a gentle slope behind the wooden house.
The task can be completed so easily, and in the end, it depends on the preparation of the day in advance. This includes when and where to choose a start, the observation of the feeding habits of the baby spider, and the judgment of Salus and Kaidon's HP.
This is the case with the so-called plan, which often does not require too complex design, because the simpler the plan, the easier it is to implement. But you can't just because the plan is too simple, you don't have to prepare in advance, and the difference between having a plan in advance or not is quite large.
Back in the village of the Broken Fin Mud Fishman, Mochi hands over the "soft shoulder armor" to the tall Fishman.
"Thank you!" The tall fishman took the garment with tears in his eyes, "I'll bury this spaulette at the bottom of the sea in a while, and my father can finally rest in peace......"
Only then did Mo Qi react to the identity of the tall fishman: "It turns out that you are ......"
"Well, I'm the son of Mud Gill, and my name is Mud Scale." The tall fishman nodded.
"No wonder you care so much about this spaulder. By the way, I have one more thing for you here......" Mochi handed the "Domestication Log of Salus" to the tall fish-man.
Reverse Scale looked at the diary and frowned and asked, "What is this...... I couldn't read the text. ”
Mochi explains, "It's a journal that records how cave spiders are domesticated. If you want to learn how to domesticate, my friend can translate the log for you......"
"It can't be!" Mud Scale resolutely interrupted Mochi's words, "Let the Shatterfinned Mud Fishmen domesticate those eight-legged monsters?" Sorry, this is not possible. ”
