Chapter 22: The Jewelry Store
"Okay, everyone is tired, let's take a good rest today, just tell the maid about something!" Coming to the peaceful zone, the temperament of Miss Saya Takashiro was immediately highlighted. In addition to Ma Le, everyone is really tired, especially Poison Island Tsuneko and Miyamoto Rei, one is still in a coma, the other is weak, and both of them need to rest.
The maid assigned a room to everyone, as a friend of the eldest lady, naturally can not live in a simple shed, there are many empty rooms in the western-style building, luxurious and comfortable, and the food is also sufficient, so it is best to recuperate.
Ma Le put the unconscious poison island on the bed, looked at the girl's bloodless face, and then looked at the ghost blade in his hand. He said before that the ghost blade was dangerous, but in fact, it was mainly to fool the poison island. Now it seems that the name of the demon knife of the ghost blade is not called in vain, it is indeed a bit evil, but it does not work for an adventurer with a perverted physique like him.
"This knife can't be used for her anymore!" Ma Le said to himself, but the combat power of Poison Island is really strong, as long as there is a real knife in hand, the strength is above most adventurers! In case of today's situation again, a poisonous island with a real knife is definitely the biggest life guarantee for the characters in the plot!
Thinking of this, Ma Le took out a small bottle of healing from the storage space and injected it into Poison Island. This thing can restore 20 HP and relieve fatigue, and is a common medicine for entry-level adventurers. When Ma Le saw the discount bundle sale, he bought a bunch of them, but for him, who had a high life and absorption ability, this kind of small thing was useless at all. Fortunately, it finally came in handy today.
"I'm going to get you a real knife!" Leaving this sentence, Ma Le closed the door and left, but he didn't see it, after he left, the poison island on the bed opened his eyes slightly, looked at the door in a daze, and then showed a smile, I don't know if she was dreaming or waking up......
Ma Le walked downstairs, and just turned the hallway, he happened to meet the hostess Yuriko Takashiro. This noble lady has changed into civilian clothes at this time, less capable, more graceful, full of aura and demeanor with a smile.
Yuriko smiled and nodded to Ma Le and said hello: "Isn't Mr. Tanaka resting?" I heard from the little girl that you are extremely brave in the fight against zombies, and you must be quite tired. ”
Ma Le laughed: "Madame bothered, I have rough skin and thick meat, unlike those little ghosts, this amount of activity is nothing!" ”
Yuriko smiled: "Mr. Tanaka is really brave, the little girl is young and ignorant, if there is anything offensive, I hope you will bear with me." As she spoke, the lady bowed to Ma Le.
This made Ma Le a little flattered, and hurriedly said: "Where, where, you are so polite, I don't want to be embarrassed!" Saying this, he didn't quite understand Yuriko's words in his heart, listening to this meaning, it seems that Saya Takashiro has some prejudices against himself?
It's no wonder that Ma Le didn't know that it was Saya Takashiro who took the lead in escaping, and this pink-haired lady was actually frightened by his non-human appearance, so he subconsciously felt that Ma Le was a big danger. Coupled with the incident of the violent attack of Poison Island Tsuiko, anyone with a discerning eye can see the strangeness of the long knife, and this knife was given by Ma Le, so Saya Takashiro is sure that this "Tanaka" is definitely a dangerous person, and he must not be in company with him.
Now that she has returned home, the eldest lady naturally wants to complain about these things to her mother. Yuriko Takashiro also saw the scene of the Shura field outside the power grid, and Saya said that it was made by an evil knife, and she didn't believe it at first. However, Takashi Komuro, Rei Miyamoto, Kazuzu Ishii, and even Shizuka Jukawa, who is a teacher, all unanimously agreed that there was something wrong with the knife, and the original owner of the knife, "Tanaka", was even more powerful and a little abnormal! This was not for Yuriko to question, but she was not as impulsive as a child after all, and after carefully asking about Ma Le, she came to this conclusion:
Although this "Tanaka" is a little suspicious, he has been trying his best to fight the zombies, rescue the survivors, and protect Saya and his party, no matter what his motives are, at least there is nothing wrong with what he does, and it is even very commendable. And now that the world has become like this, even if he is really a modified special human and really belongs to a secret organization, at this moment, he is afraid that his background will be difficult to protect himself, and it will be difficult to carry out any conspiracy plans. Taking a step back, even if he is really dangerous, where else is safe in this world? In any case, every power is very important these days, and if the other party is really that strong, it is the best way to have a good relationship, if not to fully trust, at least not to arouse hostility.
Therefore, Yuriko took the initiative to come to Ma Le, she thought that Saya had offended him, so she specially came to apologize and deliberately woo him. didn't know that Ma Le didn't feel Shaye's hostility at all, and her words didn't match the horse's mouth at all in Ma Le's opinion.
"Mr. Tanaka said with a smile, you escorted my daughter all the way back and ensured that she was well-being, this is the benefactor of my Gaocheng family, how can I express my gratitude by just bowing? If there is anything you can need, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to meet it! ”
With a few words, Yuriko Takashiro lifted Ma Le to the sky. Ma Le was originally a little ashamed of this "protection of Saya Gaocheng", after all, he was only on a mission, and he didn't take any special care of the eldest lady, and he was separated for a long time halfway, and he couldn't talk about "escorting all the way". But when he heard Yuriko Takashiro say that he could make a casual request, his eyes immediately lit up.
"This ...... Madame, since you have said so, I should be respectful and obey, and to tell you the truth, I really have a few things I want! With that, Ma Le listed the materials needed to strengthen the ring.
Yuriko Gaocheng listened to Ma Le's request, and smiled: "What's so difficult about this, my Gaocheng family is not talented, and I can still get a little diamond and platinum, to tell you, there is a jewelry store under my family, which has good goods, but it's just ...... Now there are zombies outside, and the jewelry store is not in the power grid, so ......"
"This ...... Well, if you can't do it, draw me a map and I'll get it myself! Ma sighed, and said in his heart: Come on, I know that there is no such a good thing, and in the end I have to go on my own trip, really, such a big family business, I don't believe that I can't take out a few jewelry, and I have to take it myself, it's too picky!
This is Ma Le's narrow-mindedness, not to mention anything else, but even the jewelry on Yuriko Takashiro's body now can meet Ma Le's requirements. But how did this noble lady know that this guy was going to refine equipment, she thought that Ma Le just loved money, so she mentioned the matter of the jewelry store, and by the way, how many catties and taels did this legendary "master" have.
"Alright, I'll arrange for someone to go with you. Let's not hide it, we also have a gemstone necklace in our jewellery store, and the pendant is a sapphire of over 50 carats called 'Endless Azure'. If you're successful, you'll be free to pick up other jewelry, but be sure to send this endless azure necklace back! ”
As soon as Yuriko Takashiro's words fell, Ma Le received a message from the Miracle Badge: "Side Mission: Sapphire, go to the jewelry store of the Takashiro family, retrieve the treasure of the town store 'Endless Blue', and reward 500 points of credits after completion." Mission time limit, 12 hours. ”
Obediently, making a ring actually hooked up a branch!! It's naturally good to have money to make, Ma Le agreed, accepted the task, and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something, turned around and stopped Yuriko: "Madam, I still have something to ask for, I see that many of you are carrying a katana, I don't know if there is any superfluous, a friend of mine is good at using a knife, but he lacks a weapon to take advantage of......"
Yuriko smiled and said, "You mean Tsuko, that girl is really not simple...... It's just that the knives we have here are all the personal belongings of our subordinates, and they are not good at winning people's love, and the quality is average. My husband did have a good knife, but he took it out with him, and he was afraid that he would not be back in two days, so he ......"
Ma Le smiled: "It's okay, it's really not good, I'll go out to find it, and I won't win people's love......"
Yuriko smiled: "You are too careful, Tsuneko's father and my husband are close friends, and we will not be stingy with a knife...... By the way, I remember that there was a sword in the shrine of the main bed, and although it was a tribute, it was forged by a famous craftsman, and the quality was first-class. The shrine is not far from the jewelry store, so if it's convenient for you to visit, you can stop by and have a look. ”
"Okay, thank you!" Ma Le hugged his fists and said, "Then I'll go and prepare, and I'll be ready to leave at the gate in an hour, how about it?" ”
The Japanese don't do a fist salute, Yuriko was stunned by Ma Le's posture, and then bowed slightly and said, "Okay, then please Mr. Tanaka......"
Back in his room, Ma Le began to pack his things. Although the storage space is very convenient, it is not very flexible when digging things, and it is difficult to explain the process of opening the space if the plot characters see it again. Therefore, the commonly used equipment and props, adventurers will still carry them with them, and Jiang Dahua's tactical vest was worn for the convenience of loading things.
The ghost blade was too long, and it was inconvenient to hold it, so Ma Le simply sealed it. A shotgun, a dagger, a backpack with some ammunition and consumables, and a bundle of rope from the workers...... Wait, what is this? Ma Le was surprised to find that in the corner of the backpack, there was a bright light, and when he took it out, it was actually a silver bracelet!
Ma Le's backpack was bought on the day of the lottery with Yu Xiaoning last time, and at that time, he also stuffed many other miscellaneous snacks into it for convenience, and since then, he has been lying in the storage space...... So, this bracelet was dropped by Yu Xiaoning?
Ma Le suddenly remembered Yu Xiaoning's Weibo that he saw at the beginning, and it seemed that there was really a message that said that he lost the bracelet and didn't find it, and it seemed that he didn't run away...... He subconsciously swept it with the miracle badge: women's bracelet, material, platinum; Mass, 42g......
