Chapter 244: The Holy Grail of Desire
There are only three types of actions for the female shopkeeper: "skill", "defense", and "attack".
In the "skill", there was nothing, so Ren Suo clicked the attack to try it.
Men's HP is -15.
The man used the "Ice Wind Scraping Bone", and the female shopkeeper had -175 HP and was killed.
The picture returned to the world map, and Ren Suo blinked, not realizing what was going on in this game.
Obviously, the game doesn't encourage the player to fight, but rather wants the player to satisfy the needs of the 'customers' by 'seasoning' it, so that they can complete the goal without fighting.
But how to season it is a difficult problem, and Ren Suo has no idea what kind of 'taste' the man wants. After thinking about it, Ren Suo reopened the list of cities and continued to sort them according to "Hidden Concentration".
But last time it was from high to low, and this time it was from low to high.
Ren Suo casually chose a Xuanguo village, where the "Concealment Concentration" level was only a drop of blood, and began to walk into ghosts.
The picture instantly changed to a rural night full of terraced fields, the moon in the night sky was obscured by dark clouds, and there were no street lights on the village road.
Watch the video?
Ren Suo adjusted the perspective, aimed at the video, and immediately recognized it after watching it for a while - the TV series "Crossing My Corpse"!
And Ren Suo can also zoom in on the picture, and in the afterglow of the picture, you can see the white neck and white red cheeks of the female shopkeeper, and find that the female shopkeeper is watching the first episode, the story of the three brothers of the Ren family.
It's pretty good-looking, although it's a second brush, but Ren Suo is also unconsciously addicted to it - the production and cutting ability of 'Ren Naiser' is really awesome.
After watching three episodes, the female shopkeeper paused the video, and it was then that Ren Suo heard the sound of kicking and tapping footsteps outside.
"Ouch, sigh."
A child climbed into a chair, his little face dirty, as if there were traces of snot left in his nose. He looked at the female shopkeeper with a big smile, and the front teeth that had not yet grown up had large hollows, which looked especially funny.
The female shopkeeper patted the notice on the left side of the stall: "What do you want to eat? Just tell me the story you grew up with, no money."
"Red eggs!" The child immediately said, "Hot red eggs! Three!"
The shopkeeper still boiled water, while the child bit his fingernails and told his story: "My name is Jiazhu! My grandmother said that she hoped that I could be the pillar of the family! I'm in elementary school!"
Then the child shook his head and said, "There's nothing to say, aren't the eggs all right?"
Shopkeeper: "Not yet, there must be other things you haven't said, like why are you hungry?"
"Because I'm hungry." The child sullenly said, "Mom and Dad haven't been back for a long time......
"I usually live with my grandmother, and her cooking is not delicious, and she doesn't have the money to buy me snacks......
"I'm very hungry for red eggs, and two years ago my parents came back to celebrate my birthday and boiled me a red egg, which was delicious."
"I haven't eaten red eggs in a long time, so I'm very hungry...... "and the other students have money to buy snacks." Xiaoqiang was on his birthday, and his parents bought him a cake to eat. He got it to the class, and only gave it to Min......
"I'm not envious, I don't like cakes, I like red eggs!"
"But when I'm hungry for a long time, I also want to eat something else...... Cakes can also be ......."
The child's voice became hoarse and harsh, and the front teeth that had not grown out of his mouth suddenly appeared as long as a finger. The nails he was biting also became red, slender and sharp, the whites of his eyes became blood-red, and his mouth made a golden symphony sound:
"But Xiaoqiang won't give me the cake, so can I take it myself? I don't mind if he eats it, I'll clean it when I pull it out of his belly...... I'll make a whole cake ......."
The female shopkeeper's expression remained unchanged, and she had already boiled the red eggs and entered the seasoning link.
The taste that this child needs is obvious, Ren Suo first chose "father's love" and "mother's love", and then added a little "friendship", the first two he directly filled, and "friendship" was added to one-fifth.
So the shopkeeper took out two cruet bottles with orange-yellow crystals and bright yellow crystals, lifted the lid directly, and poured it into the bowl containing the red eggs as if she didn't want money, and then scooped a spoonful of sky-blue crystals and poured it in.
"Your red eggs."
Regardless of the heat, the child directly peeled off the tender white egg with his sharp nails, and directly stuffed a large one into his mouth to chew, and his mouth made a whining sound.
He ate three of them in one go, and hiccuped, "It's delicious, it's the taste of Mom and Dad's cooking, and a little bit of cake...... Thank you, sister!"
The child's fangs and claws and blood-red eyes faded instantly, and he turned back into a dirty child.
He bowed heavily to the shopkeeper, who sat down and said, "No thanks."
The child took out a white toffee from his pants for a while, and finally took out a white toffee: "Sister, grandma gave it to me, I don't want to eat it, so I'll give it to you."
Ren Suo thought that the female shopkeeper would refuse, but he didn't expect the female shopkeeper to take it directly: "Okay."
After speaking, the child jumped off the high chair and left with small steps, at this time the female shopkeeper looked at the toffee, and the toffee emerged with a message:
"Lonely Milk Candy: After taking it, the shopkeeper's HP +15, Attack +7, and the error tolerance rate of the eggs made increases."
"It turns out that the protagonist can become stronger by inviting someone to dinner...... No wonder the initial HP is only 50. ”
Then Ren Suo continued to accompany the female shopkeeper to watch "Crossing My Corpse", and watched three or four more episodes, the sky was glowing with a faint blue morning light, and the female shopkeeper stretched her waist and began to clean up the things in the food stall.
Sitting all night and only one 'customer'!?
The game screen returns to the world map interface, and the "Days Remaining" in the upper left corner becomes 9, which means that Ren Suo has passed one-tenth of the game journey.
At this moment, the golden cup of the "Desire Collected Number" icon suddenly became larger, and two drops of blood-red slurry fell from the top of the screen into the golden cup, swaying slightly.
"Desire Collected Count: 9".
The game pops up a prompt: "Please collect 10,000 desires within 10 days".
You need to play for a day before the conditions for clearing the game appear, and of course there are implicit conditions here: the owner can't go to the point where he is eaten by a customer.
However, Ren Suo looked at the golden cup of "Desire Collection", which always reminded him of the holy grail of ...... "Magician Under the World Tree".
At this time, it was almost dawn, and Ren Suo pondered for a moment and decided to reopen a save.
He already had a basic idea of how the game worked.
Find a way to understand the needs of the 'customer' and provide the appropriate seasoning, and if you fail, you have to fight. Although it is not said which city the player must go to, it is basically impossible to collect 10,000 desires in 10 days and not go to those big cities with high "concealment concentration".
That way, Ren Suo can't afford to waste a day.
It is easier to start playing in a small place, and the desires and needs of a small place can also be easily understood, such as the needs of the left-behind child just now.
And the two 'customers' that Ren Suo has met so far look like awakened people whose minds have been polluted by aura, and they are also like the 'demons' that Ren Suo had been crushed once in the subway.
But compared to the 'demons', they still have a remnant of their sanity, and they will hold back their raging desires because they are afraid of other things, but their bodies have begun to undergo abnormal changes, but when they don't show it, ordinary people can't see it at all.
Whether it is a clown man or a left-behind child, from their words, Ren Suo knows that they no longer sympathize with each other because they are human, and it is not unusual for them to explode whenever they explode.
Ren Suo himself was a little scared - although he could tell who the Awakened was, he couldn't tell who was about to lose his mind!
Continue to choose Hong Kong City to start, but when Ren Suo watched the female shopkeeper push the food stall car across the park path, passing the homeless man sleeping on the park bench nearby, he suddenly had a thought:
If this game is uploaded, after the video is broadcast, the world will ...... What will happen?
