Chapter 16: A Turning Point in Fate
Huh? Wait, speeding up on your bike?
Doesn't this mean that if Mu Xiu wasn't here, that girl would have easily completely ignored Ayasaki Sa, who was buried in the snow, causing her to fail to brake and run over this guy directly?!
Mu Xiu's head was full of black lines, and he looked at the unlucky boy who was waking up, and his eyes were even more pitiful.
At this time, the sound of the bicycle coming to a sudden stop was heard behind him, followed by the sound of girls trotting on the sidewalk.
Soon, a girl with reddish-brown eyes and long brown hair, with her hair tied behind her, rushed up from Mu Xiu's side, bringing out a cold air current. She was a little nervous and supported Ayasaki, who was paralyzed with him, and asked in surprise, "What the hell is going on?" This boy ...... What's wrong? He's alright......"
Mu Xiu glanced at her, then shook his head and said, "I don't know too much, when I just came over, I found him lying in the middle of the road...... In such a cold weather, but the clothes are so thin, I guess something unfortunate has happened, right? He explained the ins and outs of the matter in a few succinct words, and lightly plucked himself out of it, indicating that he did not know anything.
"Thin clothes?" Maria's expression seemed to be smiling, but it was obviously a little reluctant, she looked at Ayasaki Sa in a black coat, and then at Mu Xiu, who was only wearing a school uniform, as if she was seriously distinguishing who was thinly dressed.
Hey, this school uniform seems familiar......
"Wait, are you a student at the White Emperor Academy?" Suddenly remembering her original intention for coming out, Maria hurriedly asked.
"Well, yes, because it's already a holiday today, so ......" Mu Xiu paid attention to Ayasaki's state and replied casually, "Is there something wrong, this young lady?" β
"That's right, I'm actually looking for a girl-"
Before Maria could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the low moan of a young man, and both of them looked down at the same time, and found that the baby-faced, blue-gray haired boy had completely woken up, and was opening his eyes and looking around in a little confusion, and then his eyes were back and forth on the faces of Muxiu and Maria who were supporting him.
"Ah, is this the kingdom of heaven? I'm finally ...... Relieved ......"
Maybe it's because he's been in the snow for a long time, and he's already starting to hallucinate, but although he doesn't know what the hallucinations he sees, they don't seem to be a good development. Ayasaki looked around, only to feel that there was a pure white everywhere, and then he froze there, and only after about two seconds did he whisper something to the two people he mistook for angels.
is a short sentence, but it seems that he has exhausted the strength of his life.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
The corners of Maria's mouth twitched slightly, and Mu Xiu's forehead was full of black lines.
Smiling lightly, the frail Ayasaki smiled appreciatively at the two "angels", and then completely relaxed her body and closed her eyes peacefully......
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Five minutes later.
Still on that street.
"Whoaa
With tears in her eyes, Ayasaki squeezed out tears of joy from the corners of her eyes, knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
"Huh? Wait, wait...... Excuse me, am I doing something wrong? ......" Maria's face was full of panic, and she suddenly became in a hurry, not knowing what to do, so she subconsciously looked at the other teenager on the side.
Mu Xiu looked at the night sky and sighed: "No problem, don't worry...... After all, it is normal for people to live a lifetime when they don't have a brain convulsion. β
ββ¦β¦ Wait, do you have a very rude misunderstanding of all mankind? β
Finally, because of a coat and a scarf, Ayasaki, who was moved to cry bitterly, returned to normal, and at this time, the topic that had been interrupted before was finally able to continue. Withdrawing her gaze from the baby-faced boy's face with some concern, Maria put her hands on her pretty face with a troubled expression, and she said:
"Actually, I'm looking for a girl...... He is thirteen years old and very thin...... Have you two seen it? β
ββ¦β¦β
Mu Xiu was very keen through the corner of his eye, and saw that Ayasaki's body that was still moving inexplicably seemed to stiffen, but he himself was silent, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Maria, I haven't seen such a girl all the way from there...... But your statement is still a bit too general, do you have any other distinctive characteristics? β
"Well......" Maria pondered, holding out a finger, "and, though she's not tall, she's wearing an evening gown with two cute ponytails tied around her head...... By the way, Mr. Mu Xiu, she is also a student of the White Emperor Academy, her name is Sanzenin Nagi, I don't know if you have heard of it? β
"Sanzenin Nagiβ" Mu Xiu repeated the name, his tone was a little strange, and he hurriedly raised a hand to rub his nose, subconsciously trying to hide his unnaturalness. However, in the eyes of others, this kind of behavior seems more natural than if his face is strange and he is afraid of being rude.
"I've heard of it...... Ahem, she should be my classmate. β
He sighed softly, and then said to Maria, "In that case, then I'll help too, after all, it's all classmates...... But then again, does Miss Maria have any clues? You can't just run around without a purpose, right? β
Maria was stunned for a moment, and then smiled very beautifully: "In that case, I would be very grateful, Mr. Muxiu...... Actually, we were partying in the banquet hall not far in front, but the kid was too headstrong and said that he didn't want to stay in the place full of smoke, and then ran out, and didn't have his credit card or mobile phone...... When I came out after me, I realized that she had already run away, but she should have run in this direction. β
As she spoke, the girl, who felt very mature, showed that troubled expression again: "But I haven't seen her until now, and Ji Shen has also resigned...... That kid doesn't understand the dangers of the world, and can easily be kidnapped by those who have bad intentions......"
"yes, I heard that the refresh rate of bad teenagers has been a bit high recently." Mu Xiu nodded and agreed, casually stabbing someone who was already frightened next to him, "Maybe they are all dreaming of kidnapping others and extorting a huge sum of 150 million......
"......" Ayazaki Sa.
The unlucky boy seemed to be fighting some kind of fierce struggle in his heart, and a hesitant expression appeared on the baby's face.
However, in the next moment, he found that he didn't have to worry about whether to confess and be lenient.
"Helpββ!!" A scream came from the street in the distance behind the trio.
The two guys who knew they weren't good people by looking at their dress, and their actual actions proved that they were indeed not good people, pushed a petite blonde girl with two ponytails into a car, and then slammed the door shut, and the car engine started and soared out instantly! Leaving only a series of black exhaust fumes in the back, and a large number of snowflakes splattered by the wheels!
"......" Ayazaki Sa.
"......" Mary.
"That, isn't it ......" A big drop of cold sweat flowed down his forehead, and Ayasaki asked, pointing in the direction where the car was going in an instant.
Maria nodded subconsciously, and then reacted in hindsight, and hurriedly shouted: "That's right, that's her!" What to do...... She's really been kidnapped!! β
"I understand, leave it to me......" Ayasaki's eyes suddenly lit up, and he clenched his fist, "Lend me the bicycle, you remember to call the police later......"
"Eh, wait......"
"Don't worry, I will definitely catch up with the kidnappers and rescue that girl!" The boy yelled, not knowing if he had misunderstood something, or if he had made up something on his own, so he stepped on the bicycle and kicked out violently under his feet.
"But, but, the gangsters are driving a car......"
Mary was even more bewildered, but before she could finish speaking, an extremely violent wind swept out of her, bringing up an extremely strong current, almost blowing her dress and skirt completely. The mature girl subconsciously exclaimed, reached out to press the hem of her skirt, and when she looked back, she found that the teenager riding the bicycle had disappeared in an instant, leaving only a black dot-like back.
He ...... Who the hell is it? β
Maria was dumbfounded, and after about ten seconds, she remembered that there was another person, and subconsciously turned her head to look: "That, Mr. Muxiu...... Belch? β
The other person seemed to disappear more quickly, and even Aya Qisa didn't even notice that the other person had already disappeared.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
- "Defeat two gangsters, rescue 3,000 Nagi in advance, and reward 500 reward points for success." β
Listening to the cold prompt that had recently become familiar with it, Mu Xiu couldn't tell for a moment whether he was relieved or slightly disappointed in his heart. After all, this newly refreshed quest still seems to be an optional side quest, with no penalties, and failure will not endanger your own safety. It's not a mandatory main quest like before, and if it fails, it will be directly erased.
However, compared to the previous reward, it can be said that it is a pitifully small reward, and there is even no reward for the side plot at all, but it makes Mu Xiu understand - his previous inference can basically be proved to be correct, his own novice period has passed, and the time for welfare points will not appear again, and now such a small fight is good even if the task is brushed, but it is indeed only worthy of such a weak reward, and there will be no increase on this basis.
"One sword nine hundred and ninety-nine levels", "kill a dog and explode the artifact", such good things do not apply to the rules of that big ball of light.
You can no longer easily pass fairly simple tasks to get a large amount of reward points and side plots as necessary resources for your growth...... And it depends on the situation, even if you want to get together an A-level side story and the reward points of the corresponding stage, it is estimated that it will take a very long time, and in terms of short-term goals, it is better to focus on B-level strengthening.
However, it was at this time that suddenly a spiritual light flashed through Mu Xiu's mind.
I remember that the side quest in the old school building before was obviously just a task worth 3,000 reward points and a C-level side story, but because it was triggered by myself in advance, it became a triple reward, and it was stiffly piled up to the level of B-level rich rewards. And the so-called "difficulty coefficient increased to the maximum" was also because he didn't follow the usual path, and he used the exchanged consumables to hit an attack equivalent to B-level or even A-level in advance, and directly ignored it.
This seems like an actionable rule loophole......?
While thinking so, Mu Xiu ran forward at a gallop, sweeping across the street like a shadow.
He is now able to surpass the level of top athletes at the national level in all aspects of physical fitness, and his physical fitness is much better. The most important thing is that the forbidden area of life has been liberated to the second stage, and even if he has not been exposed to many things before, he can now instinctively have a clear understanding of this-
For example, he is running forward at full speed now, obviously he has not had much training in running before, but he can still adjust his posture according to the force of his body, joint movement, etc., to make his posture more scientific and safer.
And even in terms of physical fitness, his speed has surpassed the world record of a sprinter, not to mention that he is still stimulating his body functions through bioelectricity, so that he has a higher level of domination and application of his physical ability, in game terms, that is, a short-term increase in strength and agility attribute BUFF......
