Chapter 18: The Unicorn's 'Gift in Return'
Through the picture transmitted by Lalulasi's telepathic ability, Zhou Ran saw the whole story.
It turned out to be a qualifier in the Tokiwa Forest!
"Lao Wang is really brave, he rushed in with his backpack." Zhou Ran, who was deeply poisoned by the needle bee, sincerely admired: "Go forward for your dreams, and you are really fearless." ”
But Zhou Ran can't do it, the elusive needle bee in the game is about to give him a psychological shadow.
Zhou Ran sighed and lay down on the lazy sofa, not knowing whether he was happy or worried for a while.
In qualifying, it was good that Larulas got her first win, but ......
I really don't want to participate in this qualifier and experience survival in the wild!
After all, what happened in the game is true nine times out of ten, so can he, the 'enemy of the race', run into the Tokiwa Forest and have good fruits to eat?
The thought of being chased ferociously by the overwhelming colony of large needle bees, Zhou Ran's careful liver trembled.
In the game, the head iron and the big needle bee can fight wits and courage, but in reality, you can't do it!
However, looking at Lalulasi, who was in a happy and energetic mood after getting the badge, Zhou Ran couldn't say anything to disappoint the fun.
Wait a minute...
Zhou Ran carefully studied the game text.
"As long as I refuse, I will default to Larulas's participation alone?"
Zhou Ran's eyes lit up.
This is so wow!
Neither he had to take the risk of going to the Tokiwa Forest, nor did he have to discourage Larulasi's enthusiasm, the best of both worlds.
After thinking about it, Zhou Ran coughed and smiled at Lalulasi: "You did a good job!" ”
"A truly mature elf is self-reliant and fights independently!"
"Huh?" (Is that so?) )
Larulath tilted her head, her red eyes blinked, and she clapped her hands happily.
"Lalula~!" (It seems that I have inadvertently embarked on the right path to becoming stronger, no wonder I am stronger than that Kami turtle!) )
"Larulas, you're coming of age." Zhou Ran sighed:
"Today I deliberately let you participate alone, just to let you gain experience."
"Elves can only truly grow if the trainer learns to let go."
"So, no matter how much I worry about you, I still choose to let go, this is also my trust in you!"
Zhou Ran said impassionedly, and he believed it:
"Therefore, in the next qualifiers, I will let go and give you the opportunity to face, grow, and step out of your own future."
"But, don't forget, you have me behind you, and when it is critical, I will face it with you and win together!"
"Until then, fly free, Larulas!"
Feeling Zhou Ran's fiery emotion, Lalula's red eyes were moist, and she was very moved.
It turned out that he thought so much, and he trusted me so much!
Taking a deep breath, Larulasi, who had just thought the battle match was interesting, became serious, and her red eyes were as hot as fire, as if there were really two flames burning.
Larulas: ('へ ́)
Okay, get serious!
In order to live up to his trust, the next solo battle must be won!
Coming to the refrigerator and taking out the bottle of [Special Attack Enhancer Type IX], Laluraz took another sip, and a sparkle of dedication to victory appeared in her eyes.
Lalulasi's solemn attitude made Zhou Ran stunned for a moment, but he felt a little guilty.
But this kind of guilt is fleeting, because Zhou Ran is also brainwashing himself.
Yes, I don't want to go to the wild in the Tokiwa Forest, but am I lying?
No! Absolutely nothing!
Facing the qualifiers alone, this experience is precious for Larulas.
Furthermore, I'm worried about the safety of Larulas, but I also believe that with the teleportation move, Larulas's safety is guaranteed.
After figuring it out, Zhou Ran sat on the sofa and muttered while opening the game:
"However, in the qualifiers, there is a high probability that Lalulas will win, but after the qualifiers, it should not be so easy."
The level of the qualifiers is uneven, and I am afraid that there is no way to face Larulasi, who is proficient in teleportation moves and telekinesis moves.
But after the qualifiers, experienced and strong players will come up with a variety of tactics to deal with it.
By then...
Well, well, sometimes regretting defeat is also a kind of growth.
If Larulath can really make it to the final on her own -
Then I'll admit it!
At that time, in order to respond to Lalulasi's determination, not to mention the periphery of the Tokiwa Forest, even if it really goes deep into the no-man's land of the Tokiwa Forest to reach the nest of the big needle bee...... Ahem, I still have to hesitate.
As the familiar game interface popped up, Zhou Ran glanced at Lalu Lasi and beat a drum in his heart.
It's impossible, even if it's a folk event, the level of the players is not so watery, and even if Lalu Lasi has a dream gene to break the racial limit, and fights wild elves in the game every day, there are special attack enhancers to enhance superpowers......
It's not going to kill the qualifiers single-handedly, right?
Probably not...
Probably, probably, maybe.
The qualifiers are not over yet, and Zhou Ran doesn't know when the next special event will be triggered.
He was now more interested in the temple that Larulath had explored.
On the screen of the mobile phone, the familiar word game interface unfolds, and lines of text are slowly refreshed.
In the morning, he was blocked by a swarm of bees, and he returned to the starting point of the journey.
[On the night when the stars and moon shine brightly, you open your eyes. 】
[I can't see the figure of the big needle bee in the dim vision, and I can't hear any abnormal sounds, what should I do, will the future master trainer take advantage of this God-given opportunity to rush out?] 】
Two options, [Rush Out], [Rest for the Time Being]
Hey, could it be that the big needle bee colony is too lazy to consume it with me and give up?
Although Zhou Ran felt that something was wrong, he still chose to rush out, after all, there would definitely be nothing to gain by staying in place.
[God-given opportunity, you made a judgment and rushed out decisively, however, a 'scarlet lantern' soon lit up in the darkness, which was the lock of the enemy eyes of the crouching needle bee. 】
[You're surrounded by a swarm of needle bees again, you're ......]
Alas, quack again.
With psychological preparation, Zhou Ran was in a very calm mood.
Looking back at the text, I found that there was actually a hint in the text: I couldn't hear any sound...... This is apparently due to the presence of a colony of needle bees that scares away the other elves.
However, just when Zhou Ran was ready for Ka, he turned around.
[In order to protect you, your elf Larulath used a shadow clone move, confusing the large needle swarm to be attacked, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Lalulath used the teleportation move to lead you back. 】
You're back to the beginning of your journey, and this time you're not unconscious. 】
Zhou Ran raised his head in surprise and turned his head to look at Lalulasi, who was looking at him with smug eyes.
"When did you learn the shadow clone move? Good guy, you still have a hidden hand, surprise me, right? ”
"Lalu!"
Lalulasi's expression was proud, the corners of her mouth rose, and she gave Zhou Ran a 'I'm amazing' look.
Lalu Lace: (¬◡¬)✧
At this time, the phone vibrated again, and the text brushed out in the game gave Zhou Ran another surprise.
[Click, click, click, with the sound of dead leaves being crushed, your familiar friend 'unicorn' pushed two tree fruits and pushed them in front of you. 】
[Although it is impossible to stop the movement of the large needle bee colony, the unicorn insect is not restricted from entering and leaving, and in order to repay the favor of being cured by Lalulasi last time, the unicorn insect has brought you food. 】
【You've obtained it, Sand Scale Fruit*2!】 】
[Sand scale fruit (precious tree fruit): A tree fruit that resembles both a shakya fruit and a cactus. Its sour taste increases the speed of the elves, and it is rumored to contain the power of the sky. 】
As a rare tree fruit that can improve the attributes of elves, the sand scale fruit is extremely rare in the market, at least it is out of stock in the Catty Dog Mall and Meow Meow Mall all year round.
The unicorn's 'return gift' is unbelievably precious.
[You have received an unexpected surprise from your journey, the journey of a trainer is like this, you will encounter all kinds of crises, but you will also encounter elves with very different personalities. 】
[Encounters, separations, battles, and inadvertent kindness will become the scenery on your journey and the heavy memories in your life. 】
