Chapter 44 The Traveling Frog

 Gryphon!

Chocobo!

Mu You was so greedy to see it.

I didn’t expect that these famous magical creatures could be rented in a small, run-down village!

It's a pity that he can't afford to rent it at all.

Not to mention the deposit, the rental fee is several years per hour. Who the hell can afford to rent it? He only has a lifespan of a few decades. He went out for a ride on a chocobo and disappeared immediately!

Mu You clicked on the text of "Orc Raider" and thought to himself, I am also a pet owner. Considering that we are all in the same industry, can I give it a cheaper price?

After searching for a long time, there was no bargaining option at all.

In the end, Mu You had no choice but to endure his greed and rent a small donkey.

【You got on the donkey and left the village.】

[You have chosen the road leading to the north. Go straight from this direction and you will enter the strange black forest.]

[On the way, expected to reach destination in 16 hours...]

For the first time in the game, a reminder to hurry up appeared. It would take a full 16 hours. During this period, his mobile phone had to be on all the time, and he could do nothing else but hang up.

Fortunately, traveling consumes the donkey's physical strength, and his own physical strength will not be lost.

"16 hours, it will be evening..."

Mu You had nothing to do now, so he had to play games and sleep.

As a result, before he could fall asleep, he just wanted to check the battery level of his phone before closing his eyes, and then he discovered that a new event actually popped up on the screen.

[You encountered a black-spotted spider lurking on the roadside and building a web!]

[Your donkey was bitten to death by a black-spotted spider! Lifespan -1.]

[Due to the influence of the invisibility cloak, the black-spotted spider did not notice your presence. You survived. Will you take the opportunity to sneak attack on the opponent?]

"Nima, are you still letting people sleep?"

Mu You had a dark look on his face, he would have to pay for it if the donkey was bitten to death!

No matter how many times the rental pet dies, the life span will be deducted from the deposit when he returns to the rental house. So killing the donkey is equivalent to killing himself!

There is no way, it seems that I can't sleep, I have to look at the phone all the time, otherwise this donkey, who is worse than him, will die every time he touches a wild monster. Who can survive this?

[You take out the bone-crushing knife, quietly approach the black-spotted spider, and kill it with one strike!]

[You killed the black-spotted spider, lifespan 1, experience value 1, and obtained spider venom gland*1, black-spotted spider silk*1.]

……

[You ride on a donkey and continue to move forward. You see a jungle bat hanging upside down on a tree branch and resting. Do you want to attack...]

"Yes!"

[You killed the jungle bat, lifespan 1, experience value 1.]

……

[You continue to move forward and see an electrified eel in the stream on the side of the road. It is using its glowing tentacles to attract other creatures to come closer. Do you want to attack...]

"Yes!"

[You killed the electrified eel, lifespan 1, experience value 2, and obtained mine gland*1, glowing eyeball*2.]

……

Sure enough, after leaving the village, there were more and more dangerous animals along the way, and you could almost hit one after just a few steps.

Such small animals of one or two levels no longer pose any threat to Mu You, especially now that he has an additional 'bone-chopping knife', which can basically kill any creature that is not too strong.

Anyway, he was riding a donkey on the road. No matter whether he was aggressive or not, Mu You would harvest them all and get experience points and some useless materials.

As for the physical energy consumed in battle... Killing monsters also reduces his lifespan anyway. How much physical energy is consumed can be repaid with lifespan, but killing monsters will not affect his journey.

Just staring at the phone until four or five in the morning, Mu You finally couldn't hold it any longer, paused the trip, logged out, and quickly went to catch up on some sleep.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Mu You was woken up by the alarm clock on time. He yawned and got up with dark circles under his eyes to continue playing.

The game mode used to be online for five minutes and offline for ten hours, but now it suddenly changed to the Liver Emperor mode where he was online for a whole day, which really made him a little uncomfortable.

On the bed next to him, Coke also developed a biological clock similar to his. At this time, he was also woken up by the alarm clock. He got up and touched his cell phone to continue his anger at Hokage.

After more than a week, this guy has watched more than 500 episodes of Naruto! The phone has been plugged in the charging cable all day long and has not been unplugged. Muyou is really ashamed of himself.

The game is online, still at the same position as yesterday.

Mu You continued on his way on his donkey, and as expected, various strange little creatures jumped out to intercept him along the way.

Mu You accepts everyone who comes, and accepts everything that comes. Watching the experience points increase little by little, it doesn't feel boring at all.

It was like this until eight o'clock, when the store's business hours were up. The two hard-working girls had come to work on time, and their decadent store manager was too embarrassed to continue to stay at home playing games.

Mu You changed his clothes and got up, ready to go downstairs to show his presence as a store manager.

But at this moment, a new prompt on his phone attracted his attention.

[As you continue to move forward on your donkey, you suddenly see a pocket toad paddling in the creek under the woods. Do you want to chase it?]

I encountered another unknown little monster in the game.

However, the difference from before is that all the monsters he encountered before asked him 'Do you want to attack?', but this time it prompted him 'Do you want to chase?'.

Attacking and chasing are completely different concepts!

Mu You had a premonition that this might be an unusual monster, and hurriedly clicked on the text of 'Pocket Toad'.

[The Pocket Toad is a magical creature with treasure-hunting intuition. It likes to wander around in the wild, searching for various treasures, and stores the treasures it finds in the pocket under its abdomen. Its pocket has a certain amount of space power.

It can hold a lot more items than it looks like. If you can catch it, you may be able to find treasure in its pockets! Do you want to chase it?]

Mu Youxin said what kind of mobile treasure box this was, and chased it decisively!

[Using your invisibility, you quietly approached the toad, jumped up, and rushed towards it!]

[Unfortunately, the pocket toad is very alert and reacts very quickly. The moment you pounce on it, it will jump to the left and disappear into the jungle in an instant.]

[You fell down in the pond, covered in mud and water, and you were in a miserable state!]

"Gan, I knew it wasn't that easy!"

Mu You hurriedly pressed the pocket watch.

[Time goes back, you go back to five seconds ago.]

[You already know that the toad will jump to the left, so before starting to catch it, go to the jungle on the left and set up a trap in advance.]

[You return to your original position and pounce on the toad again. The toad jumps up again, and with a snap, it just falls into the trap!]

[You caught the Pocket Toad! And found a 'Phoenix Feather' from its pocket.]

"Beautiful!"

Mu You's eyes lit up. He thought he would have to backtrack at least several times, but he didn't expect to catch it just once. This toad doesn't seem that smart after all!

Hurry to check the harvest.

[Phoenix feathers: can offset one death. When dying, you can choose to burn the feathers and resurrect with full blood on the spot.]

"Awesome!"

Mu You was overjoyed after watching it.

Offset a death, this thing in the game is just one more year of life, but in reality, it is a real life!

Obviously, it would be too wasteful to consume this feather in the game. It must be taken out and used in reality to realize its value.

Just as Mu You was about to click on the text to take out the feather, a new text popped up in the game.
Chapter completed!
