The Bamboo Forest Prowler
He Jin couldn't sleep again because of Qin Yang's words.
Qin Yang was right. The problem wasn't financial, but his relationship with his mother. To put it bluntly, it was because of his mother.
He Jin's mother was the center of power in the He family and the only financial controller. He Jin's father was an honest man who listened to his wife at home. As long as his mother said anything, his father would unconditionally agree.
Ever since he was young, He Jin's father would hand his monthly salary to his mother for safekeeping. Because he loved smoking, he would only ask his mother for ten yuan every three days to buy a pack of Camels. He Jin remembered that once, his father had switched to a pack of cigarettes from Yellow Crane Tower. Those cigarettes were a little more expensive than Camels. His mother interrogated him for the whole night. Later, she found out that his father had secretly hidden a sum of money from the company. The whole family was turned upside down.
His mother wasn't angry because his father had bought good cigarettes, but because his father was out of her control.
He Jin also remembered something that happened to his maternal grandfather. He Jin's maternal grandparents were still alive. They were retired officials with a high retirement salary. His maternal grandmother was also in charge of the family's finances. It seemed to be hereditary, passed down from generation to generation.
His maternal grandfather didn't have any hobbies or interests. He just liked to read newspapers. It was said that every morning, his maternal grandmother would give him fifty cents to buy a local daily newspaper. When he got home, he would read it with a magnifying glass all day. She didn't even miss a single word of the advertisements. In the past few years, she had even found typos in the newspaper and received several bonuses from the newspaper.
Every time He Jin's mother mentioned this, she would look proud. She said that his grandfather was a down-to-earth person and that only when a woman was in charge of money could the family be at peace. Then, she would give examples. Look at that family. The man had money and went out to gamble. There was also that family. The man's money was spent on women outside …
But He Jin didn't think so. He always felt that his maternal grandfather and father were very pitiful. He always secretly thought that when he grew up, he would definitely not be like them. A man who had his financial freedom restricted was like a bird with its wings clipped. He wasn't a man at all.
However, He Jin rarely spoke of these thoughts in front of his mother, because even if he did mention it a few times, his mother would always refute him with a bunch of experience, which made He Jin feel particularly helpless.
Ever since he was young, He Jin had forgotten that he still had the ability to resist. He had been waiting, waiting for redemption, or waiting for his mother to realize that something was wrong and let go of her control to give him more freedom. But deep down, he was also afraid that these "fantasies" would never happen …
He Jin abruptly woke up from his nightmare. When he looked outside, the sky was just beginning to brighten.
Because of Qin Yang's words last night, He Jin's imagination ran wild and he fell asleep very late. He didn't expect to wake up so early …
He Jin was exhausted, but because he had something on his mind, he had no intention of going back to sleep.
Curled up in bed, he saw the helmet on the writing desk. An idea came to him, and he got up to take it and put it on …
He closed the blindfold and successfully entered the login interface. Eh? He Jin was pleasantly surprised. He could actually play while lying down? That's pretty good!
When he went online, it was five in the morning. Shang Huo wasn't online. Even the World Channel, which was usually flooded so fast that it was hard to see the words clearly, had very few messages at this time.
He Jin thought that there weren't many people, so he didn't use the Invisibility Voucher. He rode Flaming Qiongqi to Green Milky Way Forest alone to pick the 99 Windbell Grasses required for the couple's quest. Shang Huo could pick them even if he wasn't online. When it came time to turn in the quest, it was fine as long as one party had the Windbell Grasses on them.
Completing this kind of quest was like doing homework in high school. He didn't need to use much brain power. He Jin lost track of time once he was focused. Moreover, he was lying down in a comfortable position. Ah Jin also felt light in the game …
As he was picking, a monster covered in green fur suddenly appeared not far from He Jin. Its lower body was as thick as a bucket, and its head was sharp. Above its head was the red name "Bamboo Demon (30)".
… What is this? Monster? Why is there only one?
Could it be … a Wild Boss? Moreover, it's a Level 30 Boss!
After He Jin specialized in Soul Pet, the level of his human form gradually increased according to the level of his Soul Pet. He was now Level 87, but the skills he could use in his human form were still at Level 30. His attack power wasn't high either. If he was in his Snow Ferret form, he would still have the confidence to pounce on it. But now that Shang Huo wasn't there, he couldn't change his form …
Should he roar in the World Channel and see if anyone would form a party to kill him? No, no. If he did that, the people he called would not be here to kill the Bamboo Demon, but to kill him!
Seeing that the Bamboo Demon was wandering near him, He Jin's heart itched. Let's go. If I can't beat it, I'll die. I can't just watch it leave!
He Jin touched his bag and found that he had enough supplements. He grabbed the dagger that he hadn't used for a long time and rushed over aggressively. The helmet even made Ah Jin roar according to his current mood, "Ahhhhhhhh!"
After being stabbed by He Jin, the Bamboo Demon roared and turned around. Its lower body that was as thick as a bucket shook, and two scarlet eyes appeared on its sharp head. It opened its mouth, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth. It bent its body and swept in a circle. The bamboo leaves on its head were as fast as the blade of a sword. He Jin was caught off guard and was cut. Instantly, his health bar dropped by half!
Good guy! Although it's only Level 30, it's very powerful!
He Jin grabbed a potion from his inventory and stuffed it into his mouth. His health bar was instantly restored to full. In the meantime, he dodged left and right to avoid the Bamboo Demon's attacks. Because of the Ferret's agility, even in human form, his dodging speed was still relatively fast. In addition, he had been tortured by the Fire of Death for the past two days. Even if his attack power wasn't good, his ability to predict danger and dodge had greatly improved.
Relying on defense, He Jin slowly stabilized his condition. He began to patiently slash at the Bamboo Demon. When the cooldown time of the potion was up, he quickly grabbed another potion to recover his health. Seeing that the Bamboo Demon's health bar was more than half, He Jin's confidence increased … But then the Bamboo Demon used two big skills in a row, almost sending He Jin to hell!
Still in a state of shock, He Jin suddenly saw a black shadow squatting in the depths of the bamboo forest. It had a pair of green eyes … F * ck, what the hell is this? Could there be other monsters behind the Bamboo Demon?
He Jin mustered up his courage and shouted, "Who's there?"
After a moment of silence, a wretched laugh came from the depths of the bamboo forest. "Hehe …"
He Jin: "…" F * ck, it's a lurking player! He Jin immediately knew what the other party wanted to do. That person wanted to wait until the last moment to reap the benefits!
The wretched voice said again, "I didn't expect you to be a kid!"
That guy's voice didn't sound that loud. He seemed to be a middle school student who was going through puberty. He Jin didn't show it. He thought for a moment and said, "Come out, let's team up and fight together."
"What's in it for me to fight with you?" the person asked.
"Then what's in it for you to stay there? It can't be that you want to admire how I kill monsters, right? " The items dropped by the Bosses in Demon God's Domain were not distributed. Instead, everyone had a bag to pick up. What they picked up depended entirely on their luck. He Jin continued, "If you wanted to ambush me at the end, I wouldn't be able to get anything. However, now that I've seen your name, I'll have plenty of chances to take revenge on you."
The lurker said, "I've hidden my name. You won't be able to see it when the time comes."
He Jin was speechless. "Don't be silly. If you kill the Boss, you'll be on TV." Although He Jin didn't pay much attention to the World Channel, he still had this bit of common sense.
The lurker said, "Uh …"
He Jin sensed that the other party was a little childish. He continued, "Besides, I already know your intentions. If you really want to do that, I'll post the Boss's coordinates on the World Channel. You'll be in trouble then …"
The lurker said, "F * ck, how can you be so sinister at such a young age!"
He Jin thought, How can this be called sinister? I'm honest and magnanimous. I always use my intelligence to do things. If I have something to say, I'll say it directly. I never beat around the bush!
The lurker said, "But I like it, hehe …"
He Jin: "…"
Immediately after, a black and white ball sprang out of the bamboo forest with a whoosh. He Jin was shocked and took a closer look — this, this is … a panda?
The panda looked at He Jin and said, "Although it's easy for me to kill this Bamboo Demon alone, since you're so smart and farsighted, I'll make friends with you and help you!"
As he spoke, the other party threw over a party request.
He Jin looked at the transparent window that appeared in front of him — "Player Liluo invites you to join the party." He didn't care if the other party was a human or a demon. He Jin immediately chose to accept!
With the help of the "panda", the Bamboo Demon's HP dropped rapidly. The panda's attack style was quite interesting. Like a ferret, it pounced on the Bamboo Demon and bit it. It took He Jin a while to react. Could it be that this guy was also playing with a spiritual pet? Spiritual pets could change forms before they were tamed. The 'panda' might be Liluo's original form!
He didn't know if it was because pandas naturally liked to eat bamboo, but every time the Bamboo Demon lost a bit of HP, it would become thinner. It was just as Liluo had said, killing it was easy!
In the end, the huge green-haired Bamboo Demon was killed by the two of them until it looked like a bamboo shoot. It died under He Jin's short knife and Liluo's sharp teeth.
