Chapter 56: Mission Failure
The loud sound of the mine collapsing alerted the guards, and Mochi and the others, who were hiding in the woods, clearly saw the clearing in front of the mine in chaos—the guards stationed nearby shouted and alerted the other companions; The leader of the officers angrily asked his subordinates about the cause of the accident, and looked at his body movements during the lecture, and he was eager to kill several of his subordinates on the spot.
Mochi listened nervously to the conversation between the guards and the officers - thankfully, they didn't seem to find out that the accident had anything to do with the fish-people.
"I think you can let her go......" Akalin hesitated for a long time, but finally decided that it would be better to open his mouth to remind the two of them.
Only then did Mochi realize that Avena had been in his arms all along.
Avena scrambled out of Mochi's arms. Without the warm and soft Anvina in his arms, Moqi felt empty in his heart.
Moqi couldn't help but cover his face with his hands - he was reviewing that his tastes were getting heavier and heavier, and it was really unfortunate that he had developed a crush on both female fishmen.
"Moqi, Moqi, you have to see clearly! The other party is a fish-man with scales and fins. Mochi silently finished saying these words to himself, and glanced up at Anvina, who was blushing again—well, she was pretty good-looking.
OMG! What the fuck was going on! Moqi banged his head against the trunk of the tree, and secretly confessed to the Holy Light - the Holy Light purifies my soul! Forgive me for having evil thoughts about a female fish-man. Lao Tzu must have been single for too long, and he even thinks that the female fishman is also beautiful. It is said that hormones are the primary productive force, and Moqi feels that his conscience and consciousness as a human being are being swallowed up by bursts of male hormones.
Thinking of the warmth and steadfastness of Anvena in her arms, Moqi couldn't help but hit her head twice with her head again.
"Mr. Mochi, please stop blaming yourself." Anwena distressed Mo Qi said, "We've all seen that you've done your best to save the fishman tadpoles. In that case, it would have been very difficult for us to escape......"
Yes? What's that? Mochi looked at Anvena with a bewildered expression.
"Although we were unable to rescue the tadpoles, we destroyed the jade cave, and the people in the village should be able to understand us." Seeing that Moqi didn't speak, Anvina continued to comfort.
Only then did Moqi realize that the five fish-man tadpoles had not escaped from the mine with them. Check the progress of the task on the template, and [Rescue the Fishman in the Cave] really shows "Mission failed".
The light burned me! Even the mission was a fucking failure! What is this called? Mochi slammed his head into the trunk again.
Back in the Fish-Man Village, Avena tells the tall Fish-Man what happened. Contrary to Mo Qi's expectations, the people in the village really didn't blame him, not only that, but the tall fishman also assigned a new task to Mo Qi-
【Wash away the shame】
Mission Description:
Thank you for all you have done for our village, please don't blame yourself for not being able to save those tadpoles, I would like to believe that their sacrifice was worth it...... Now, there is one last task, and I know that some of the strong men will be difficult, but I still ask you to wash away the shame of our village.
Objectives:
Kill Captain Caydon, 0/1
Bring back the "soft shoulder armor", 0/1
Rewards:
2200 XP, 4 silver.
……
The tall fish-man issued the mission to Mochi with an almost pleading attitude, in stark contrast to his previous arrogant attitude. This made Mo Qi embarrassed to refuse, and he felt a little guilty that he couldn't save the five fish-man tadpoles.
Looking at the mission description, it is another task to kill the undead and lose the reputation of the Undercity. The so-called lice are not afraid of itching, Mo Qi thought about it anyway, the prestige of the Dark City is already neutral, and it doesn't seem to make a difference if it drops a few dozen points.
What's more, after completing the series of missions, Moqi has a good chance of getting another piece of powerful equipment.
After weighing the two, Mochi finally chose to accept the task.
After receiving a new mission, Moqi took eight more pure white cobwebs to find the expert fisherman, Woard.
The chubby Woerdo excitedly said, "Great, with these cobwebs, I can make strong fishing nets!" Thank you so much, this is for you! ”
Whardole handed a basin-sized clams to Mochi.
"It's a fucking shell again......" Mochi sighed, silently tossing the clams into the package.
"By the way, there's something I want to ask you, why is that fish-man crying so sadly? Did her clams get stolen? Mochi asked, pointing to the female woman who was standing on the seashore and wailing.
Wah Erduo sighed and said, "She's the mother of Ahlala......"
Seeing that the fish-man was crying pitifully, Moqi and Anvina couldn't help but go over and comfort her.
It's a pity that Moqi and Anvina's comfort didn't help. The female fish-man wiped her tears and pretended to be strong, "Thank you for destroying the Jasper Mine...... I know that you are not to blame for this, and I also believe that my child's sacrifice is worth it, so please leave me alone for a while......"
At this point, Moqi and Anvina couldn't say anything more, so they could only turn around and leave.
After saying goodbye to his mother, Mochi and his two companions took a break and began to prepare for the next mission.
After the failure of the Jasper Mine, Mochi is determined to change his habits of completing tasks.
Moqi realizes that the monsters in this world are completely different from the low-AI monsters in the game. The monsters here all have their own wills and minds, and their rules of action lie in how to keep their lives going, and they don't think about Moqi's game experience at all.
Like the spider swarm in the mine before, not only will they take the initiative to attack, but also appear at the same time as the elite monsters, so that Mo Qi has no power to fight back. If this happens in the game world, it will definitely be reported as a bug by players.
As a result, Mochi felt the need to focus on intelligence gathering. Only by gathering enough information can Moqi develop a strategy accordingly.
Thinking of this, Mo Qi couldn't help but recall the military theory class he had taken during military training in college. The teacher who taught Mochi a military theory class was a middle-aged man with a rather unique accent. From the details of his pronunciation, Mochi could sense that his life experience was quite complicated - the teacher had lived in at least seven provinces during the important period of the formation of language habits.
This also leads to the fact that Mo Qi still can't understand what the book "Military Theory Course Course" is about.
However, Mo Qi had read something like this on the teacher's PPT -
"The husband is the victor without a fight, and the temple is counted as a lot; The temple is not victorious without a fight, and it is considered to be less. More wins, less wins, and nothing counts! ”
This is a very incisive summary of the war.
It's a pity that Mochi still doesn't understand what it means.
You must know that the military theory class of that year was all used to guess the teacher's life experience.
But at this time, Mo Qi vaguely felt that the "temple calculation" was very important, and he needed to do it.
