"Side quest completed.
"Extra reward from the special scenario: Gain 2% of current level EXP."
After Sanzang's group was escorted away by Inunosuke, Feng Bujue and Wang Tanzhi heard the system announcement.
They opened the game menu to take a look. The quest to help Tu Mei solve the case of the murder without a body had been ticked off. From the result, it looked like the reward for this side quest was EXP and not Skill Points like in the main quest. Xiong Ji's aggro did not increase due to the case being solved.
"Very good, this mission is much easier than the main quest," Feng Bujue commented as he looked at the game menu.
"But … Brother Bujue, you're really good. When the situation took a turn for the worse, you used a simple provocation to turn the situation around," Xiao Tan said.
"Hmm … Since I have some understanding of the original work, I have a rough idea … how to deal with this character from 'Sun and Universe'." Feng Bujue said darkly. "Other than a few characters with normal intelligence and morals, like Ceng Liang-kun (Kawai Ceng Liang-kun), Hirata-kun (Hirata Heino), and Sister Ono (Sister Ono) … most of the other characters have a certain level of comical trait." He explained seriously, "In other words … when necessary, you only need to ask them in a roundabout way, and they will say or do things that are full of flaws."
"The so-called comical trait, huh?" Xiao Tan's expression turned serious as well.
"Yes, it's like the urge to step on a banana peel and fall over …" Feng Bujue said. "Most of the characters in this world have this trait, including Tu Mei. She often casually asks Xiong Ji something like, 'There are no cases recently, so why don't you jump off the building?', and her 'staring expression' … These are the traits of this character. She doesn't even realize the existence of this trait, so she can't change it. "
"Oh …" Xiao Tan nodded. "I think I understand … why Xiong Ji would commit so many crimes and get arrested so often …"
"Mao Tarō, Sun Tarō, it's time to go."
While they were talking, Tu Mei, Miao Mei, and Xiong Ji had regrouped. Then, Miao Mei, who was closest to them, turned around to call them.
"Oh, coming," Feng Bujue answered loudly and then walked over with Xiao Tan.
"Eh? There is no transfer this time, "Wang Tanzhi whispered as he walked.
"That means … something will happen next," Feng Bujue said softly.
…
Thirty minutes later …
The five friends came to a place with beautiful scenery (in terms of the style of this world).
The place was full of flowers, water, mountains, and flowers. There was a gentle breeze, and birds were singing. It was indeed a good place to have a picnic.
The five of them walked for a long time and were a little tired. They could rest on the grass and have a meal.
"Ah! Oh no! I ran too fast to catch up with everyone, and the honey in my bag flowed out. Everything is sticky now! "
As soon as Miao Mei spread the picnic cloth on the ground, Xiong Ji couldn't wait to open his backpack. But … the moment he opened it, he said this with a look of annoyance.
"What an idiot." Tu Mei looked at him condescendingly. "Don't expect me to share the food with you."
"Eh …" Xiong Ji felt wronged. "Too … too cold, Tu Mei Chan!"
"Okay, okay …" Xiao Tan felt sorry for Xiong Ji, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll share some of my food with you."
"Ah! You're such a good person! "Xiong Ji immediately looked at Wang Tanzhi with grateful eyes.
[Xiong Ji's hatred towards you -2%] At the same time, a system prompt sounded in Xiao Tan's ear.
"Oh? So, I can lower his aggro toward me like this … "Xiao Tan thought to himself." Even though I have no idea what this' Aggro Level 'means, it feels like … the lower the level, the better. "
As he thought about it, he bent his knees and sat on the picnic cloth. He took off the backpack on his shoulder. (Since the last transfer, Xiao Tan and Brother Jue had backpacks on their shoulders. Long before they met Sanzang and his disciple, the two of them had checked each other's backpacks. The backpacks were filled with very ordinary food.)
"Hmm … Let me see …" Xiao Tan took out the items in the backpack one by one. There were two lunchboxes and two boxes of drinks. The drinks were packaged in paper boxes with straws. When Brother Jue helped Xiao Tan check his backpack earlier, he analyzed that Sun Tarō's "Winged Hand" could not open the bottle cap, and its beak could not drink through the opening of the bottle, so … it could only drink packaged drinks.
"I have two lunchboxes, I'll share one with you." After Xiao Tan took out the items in the backpack, he picked one up and handed it to Xiong Ji.
"Thank … Thank you so much!" Xiong Ji was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. He took it and said, "I will definitely repay your kindness!"
"Ha … Haha … There's no need for that." Xiao Tan replied with a hollow laugh.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that, even if he did not mention the various crimes that he had committed … Xiong Ji was quite an adorable character.
Of course … this temporary favorable impression of him would soon disappear without a trace.
…
Five minutes later …
"Ah, Bunny Mei-chan, you didn't even chew the fish eggs properly before eating the black carp in one bite!" Xiong Ji couldn't help but reveal a very difficult expression while looking at Bunny Mei's eating manners.
"You're eating other people's food, yet you're still commenting on other people's eating methods?" Tu Mei turned her head and stared at Xiong Ji.
"Hey hey … Xiong Ji is eating my food …" Xiao Tan thought, "Why does this guy sound like I'm eating her food …"
"Oh yeah … Xiong Ji …" Feng Bujue then said, "Since your backpack is stained by the honey, why don't you wash it by the river over there? Isn't it uncomfortable to carry it on your back? Plus, the longer this stuff is left there, the harder it is to wash it clean. "
"Ah, that makes sense." Xiong Ji was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then I'll go wash it."
After saying that, he stood up, picked up the backpack on the grass, and ran towards a small river more than ten meters away.
"Brother Jue … what are you …" Xiao Tan turned his head to look at Feng Bujue and asked tentatively.
"Try to minimize his contact with Tu Mei and Miao Mei," Brother Jue lowered his voice and replied, "Just in case he accidentally says something incriminating …"
"Hmm … good idea," Xiao Tan also said in a low voice.
"Eh? Miao Mei -chan. " On the other side, Tu Mei seemed to have noticed something and asked Miao Mei, "Why aren't you wearing socks?"
"Oh …" Miao Mei frowned and replied, "Actually … my house was burglarized last night."
Upon hearing the word "burglarized," Brother Jue and Xiao Tan's expressions instantly became serious. Their first reaction was … "Xiong Ji must have done it."
"Was it a burglary case … Did you call the police?" Tu Mei continued, "Do you need me to …"
"No, Tu Mei Chan," Miao Mei explained, "My socks were the only things that were stolen. Nothing else was lost."
Upon hearing this, Tu Mei's eyes became sharp again. "What did you say?!" She shouted and suddenly turned her head to look at Xiong Ji, who was standing far away.
Then … she got up and rushed towards him.
"Don't be rash!" Brother Jue and Xiao Tan reacted almost at the same time and chased after her.
"You perverted bear!" Tu Mei ran towards Xiong Ji and shouted.
Xiong Ji, who was washing his backpack by the river, heard the sound and turned around. He was shocked. "Eh? What's wrong? What's going on? "
"Yesterday, a burglar snuck into Tu Mei's house and stole her socks!" Tu Mei said as she ran. In the blink of an eye, she was in front of Xiong Ji.
"Hey … What does that have to do with me? Why are you running towards me with such a suspicious expression?" Xiong Ji asked, sweating profusely.
"Based on my deduction …" Bunny Mei's eyes were glowing with a golden light. "There's a 500% chance that you did it, you stinky bear!" She said as she stepped forward and grabbed Xiong Ji's arm. "It's on your hand! Hurry up and hand it over! "
"No … It wasn't me … I didn't …" Xiong Ji tried to defend himself as he struggled to step back.
But to his surprise … a few seconds later, the soles of his feet slipped, and with a plop, he fell into the river …
