Griffin!

Chocobo!

Mu You looked at it with envy.

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

Unfortunately, he couldn't afford to rent it.

Not to mention the deposit, the rental fee is several years per hour. Who the hell can afford this? He only had a lifespan of a few decades. He went out for a ride on a chocobo and died instantly!

Mu You clicked on the text of 'Animal Keeper' and thought to himself that I also keep pets. Considering that we are all in the same industry, can I give him 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 chose the road leading to the north. Go straight in this direction and you will enter the eerie black forest. 】

[On the way, it is expected to arrive at the 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's going to be night..."

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

As a result, before he fell asleep, he just wanted to check the battery level of his phone before closing his eyes, and then he realized that a new event had 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. Did you take the opportunity to sneak attack on the opponent? 】

"Nima, are you still going to let 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 my 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 took out the bone-crushing knife, quietly approached the black-spotted spider, and killed it with one strike! 】

[You kill the black-spotted spider, your life span is +1, your experience value is +1, and you get spider venom gland*1 and black-spotted spider silk*1. 】



[As you continue to move forward on a donkey, you see a jungle bat resting upside down on a tree branch. Do you want to attack it...]

"yes!"

[You kill the jungle bat, life span +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 kill the electrified eel, lifespan +1, experience value +2, get thunder gland*1, glowing eyeball*2. 】



Sure enough, after leaving the village, there were more and more dangerous animals along the way, and you could bump into one within 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 extra 'bone chopping knife', which can basically kill any creature that is not too strong with one strike.

Anyway, he was riding a donkey on the road. Regardless of 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 loses lifespan anyway. How much physical energy is consumed can be repaid with lifespan, but killing monsters will not affect his journey.

Just staring at his phone until four or five in the morning, Mu You finally couldn't hold on anymore, paused his schedule, 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 his game.

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 awakened 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 was plugged in with the charging cord all day long, and Muyou was really ashamed of herself.

The game is online, still where it left off 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 doesn't refuse anyone 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 opened. The two hard-working girls had come to work on time, and their decadent store manager was too embarrassed to continue to stay in the house 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.

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

Another unknown little monster was encountered in the game.

But the difference from before was 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, so he hurriedly clicked on the text of 'Pocket Toad'.

[The pocket toad is a magical creature with the intuition of treasure hunting. 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 pockets have a certain amount of space and can hold a lot more items than they seem. If you can catch it, you may be able to find treasure in its pockets! Chase or not? 】

Mu Youxin said what kind of mobile treasure box this was and chased after 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 into the pond, covered in mud, and in a miserable state! 】

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

Mu You hurriedly pressed his 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 capture 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 falls right into the trap with a snap! 】

[You caught the pocket toad! And searched out a 'Phoenix Feather' from his pocket. 】

"pretty!"

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 to be that smart!

Quickly check the harvest.

[Phoenix Feather: Can offset one death. When dying, you can choose to burn the feathers and resurrect with full blood. 】

"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.

Mu You was just about to click on the text to take out the feather, when a new text popped up in the game.

[The pocket toad struggles in your hands. It begs you not to kill it. It is willing to sign a contract with you and become your familiar. Do you accept the contract? 】
