Chapter 4: The Tyris's Method on the Tip of the Tongue
In the evening, the sun of the Tirisfal Glades hung half-dead in the sky, gray, like a thirty-watt frosted light bulb. For Mochi, who has lived in the Chinese capital for more than 20 years, the haze weather in the Tirisfal woodland is particularly kind.
Unfortunately, there are no high-end dishes such as bean juice, coke rings, stewed and fried liver. Mochi had no choice but to take the clams sent by Cedric. There was no way to make a dish that was too complicated, so Mochi had to make the simplest clam soup.
Seeing Mochi quietly waiting by the stove and the pot to work, old Cedric did not forget to narrate in a deep and majestic male voice: "The day is coming to an end, and the fishman who lives in Carlstone Manor is busy, and he must prepare his own dinner before dark, and reward himself with sumptuous food." ”
Well, there's another undead chatter here.
No matter what Mochi is doing, Cedric doesn't forget to narrate it in real time. This is the old undead's new tactic, as Mochi no longer responds to his reminiscences, so he begins to follow Mochi and narrate all of his actions in real time.
Mochi was tempted to complain about the tone of this food documentary. But knowing full well that a response would only elicit more from Cedric, he pretended not to hear the old undead's voice and focused all his attention on the hot soup.
However, Cedric was not deterred, and he continued his real-time review: "Dandan is confident, he knows the ins and outs of oyster soup better than anyone else at Carlstone Manor, making full use of the sea cucumbers, kelp, and clams in the iron bucket, combined with the dry wood fire, and the intense heat makes the seafood in the crucible magically transformed." ”
"Don't get angry, don't get angry." Mochi repeated to himself. Although he really wanted to talk to the undead, but as a fishman, his combat power was not suitable to compete with the entire Tirisfa undead, so he could only endure it. Fortunately, the clam soup was ready, and Mochi filled himself with a bowl of hot soup.
And the sudden appearance of a system prompt almost made him throw the bowl on the ground-
[Mochi learned to cook]
【Got hot clam soup】
【Your cooking proficiency has been increased to 1】
A very common tip. In the game, Mochi would hardly pay attention to such hints, after all, his character has already honed all kinds of life skills and professional skills.
But the current situation is different, Moqi is a traverser, these life skills are likely to save his life at a critical moment, and can also provide a lot of convenience for his future adventure life, and at a certain stage when his cooking skills are improved, various meals can provide Moqi with different buffs.
And the most important thing is not the cooking skills, but the fact that this prompt is a sign – meaning that he can learn other professional skills. The most exciting of these professional skills is alchemy. In alchemy, there are not only many alchemy potions that can be used in battle, which can improve attributes, resistance, and movement speed, but also many potions that are very useful in life, such as underwater breathing potions, water walking potions, stealth potions, treasure hunting potions, and so on!
And, of course, a transformation potion that can help Mochi solve problems with communicating with other races! As long as it becomes another race, speaking the lingua franca is no longer a problem.
Even Mooch's narration of Cedric doesn't mind that much.
Seeing Mochi smirking and drinking the soup, Cedric did not forget to add: "For Dandan, a native evil-fin sewage fishman, nothing is better than a bowl of hot oyster soup to dispel the remaining tiredness in the body. ”
The happiness of drinking the hot soup suddenly disappeared. Well, he still kind of minds.
Just as Cedric's new round of "psychic attacks" intensified, the pharmacist Johan appeared in the kitchen.
"Cedric, I'm going to requisition your fishmen." Qiao Han said straight to the point.
Cedric said teasingly: "It seems that as a prisoner under your house arrest, I have no right to refuse......"
"If only you understood." Chauhan nodded, and was about to turn his head to say something to Mochi, but Cedric's endless fragmentary thoughts came to his ears-
"I shouldn't have left my hometown in the first place, so I wouldn't have been separated from Anna, if I hadn't come to London to make money, I wouldn't have bought this manor, if I hadn't bought this manor, I wouldn't have died of the plague, if I hadn't died of the plague, I wouldn't have become an undead and locked up in this manor, and if I hadn't been locked up in this manor, my fish-man pets wouldn't have been requisitioned by them at will......"
"Guards! Hurry up! Shut him up in the attic! Qiao Han shouted with his ears covered.
Seeing Cedric being taken away by the guards, Mochi and Chauhan breathed a sigh of relief.
Mochi vs. Cedric-Tong Xiangyu, ah, no! It's a complicated relationship with Cedric Carlstone. On the one hand, he sympathizes with Cedric's life's suffering, but on the other hand, he really can't stand this person's nagging.
Johan continued to say to Mochi, "I've figured out the matter of Doom Grass. The two Doomsday Grasses, though similar in appearance, are two different things. Alba-spotted Doomsday is another species in the genus Doomsday, and although the plant type and leaf shape are similar, the internal composition is very different. I wanted to figure out the explosive ingredients of the White Spotted Doomsday Plant......
"Therefore, I need you to help me collect the medicine. Of course, to prevent you from escaping, I will tell Gerdo to keep an eye on you. You'd better not run away, Gerdo is far more terrifying than what you see, understand? ”
Mo Qi nodded, indicating that he was clear about the other party's intentions and was willing to go and collect the medicine.
That's exactly what Mochi meant. He originally had plans to study herbology and alchemy, so he naturally had no intention of refusing the other party.
As for the escape, that's a matter of time. As long as he has accumulated enough strength, he will definitely leave this place. As for the garrison of this place, he believed that no matter how tightly guarded, there would always be a weak link, and if he seized the opportunity, he would definitely be able to escape.
Qiao Han smiled and said, "Good! You can see you're a clever fish-man. You and Gerdo should go now, Doomsday Grass is the easiest to find at night, don't delay too much time, the day of the intermediate pharmacist examination is coming soon, I must do some representative research before then......"
In this way, Mochi was urged by Chauhan to embark on his first journey to collect medicine after arriving in Azeroth.
Breathing in the cold, damp air of the Tirisfal glade, Mooch recalled the first time he had entered Azeroth in a gloomy internet café years ago—everything was fresh, even the corpses of the players strewn across the camp entrance were amusing. At that time, Mo Qi did not have a lot of experience in online games, and he was willing to give up the most basic whiteboard outfit and the equipment on his body for a long time.
For the first time, Moqi knew that the world in the original game could be so magnificent, and most of the players he met along the way were very enthusiastic - except for those alliance dogs who "mended the knife" to earn honors, they were all willing to take Moqi to level up, and were willing to give him equipment and various professional materials.
And now, the crossed-over Mochi has regained the joy of being a novice - countless treasures and dangers are buried beneath the deep gloom of the Tirisfal glades, apothecaries are guarding huge containers filled with green liquid and conducting evil experiments day after day, unknown treasure chests are lying underwater, in caves and in remote cabins, and in the depths of the forest chilling spiders are waiting for stupid prey to break into their territory......
The night was dark, and Mochi could faintly hear the sound of giant bats flying through the sky.
There are many kinds of herbs growing in the woodland with a thick humus layer, but unfortunately Mochi's knowledge of herbalism is limited and he is unable to identify these species. He can only honestly complete the task at hand first - collect the White Spot Doomsday Grass. These doomsday grasses, which grow on roadsides and ponds, glow faintly at night and are easily recognizable. The only trouble is to distinguish between a normal Doomsday Grass and a White Spotted Doomsday Grass that can only be identified from a close distance.
Not long after the herb collection was carried out, Moqi also understood the reason why he didn't send Gerdo to dig up Doom Grass, Gerdo couldn't distinguish Doom from other herbs very well, let alone the difference between White Spot Doom Grass and ordinary Doom Grass.
At first, Mochi thought that collecting medicine with the suture monster Gerdor, and the exchange meeting would be a big problem. Who knows, Mochi unexpectedly has a heart-to-heart relationship with Gerdo, many body movements, there is no need to do a second time, Gerdo has a good intuition and can understand Moqi's intentions very accurately.
When he saw Mochi holding the [Herbalist's Shovel] but didn't know where to dig it up, Gerdo also taught Mochi the essentials of digging Doomsday Grass very intimately.
Fortunately, Gerdo is not a female, otherwise Mochi would have thought that Gerdo had taken a fancy to him.
Wait a minute...... How did he know that Gerdo wasn't a female stitch monster? It is said that the gender of the minotaur is a mystery, but in Moqi's opinion, the gender of this stitching monster is really a mystery.
The more patient Gerdo became, and the softer his tone, the more frightened Mochi became—he couldn't have really taken a fancy to me, could he?
It's said that after the crossing, it's standard for the male protagonist to set up a harem in the other world.,But if you meet a female stitching monster.、Female ogre.、Female goblins、Female bear people、Female lobster people and the like.,This setting is inevitably a little frustrating, right?
I didn't dare to think about it anymore, so I could only continue to dig grass honestly.
In the process of collecting herbs, Mo Qi faintly saw a treasure chest on a hillside, the location of the treasure chest was very secret, about the foot of the tree on the mountainside, and he could only see it by the moonlight, and he could not be sure if the treasure chest had been opened. It's a pity that Gerdo has been urging him to go back to the manor quickly because he is hungry, and Mochi has no chance to get closer to see the details. Mo Qi could only give up, he silently wrote down the location of the treasure chest in his heart, and when he had the opportunity, he must come here to see this treasure chest.
For the weak Moqi, even one more tabula rasa is a great thing.
