Mo Bei looked at the equipment in his hands, and then at the seawater that was splashing against the trestle. Even if the water droplets hit his face, it still felt a little unreal.
He even wondered if there were any side effects from using too many Horadric Cubes.
It's not uncommon to pick up one or two gold coins in the desert. In battle, it's inevitable to keep moving. Sometimes, you can't even find where the first monster fell.
But the chance of picking up the equipment is very slim. Firstly, the explosion rate is low, and secondly, the equipment is relatively large and will not be buried in the sand for a while.
When many career changers kill a large group of monsters but gain nothing, they often feel as if their rings or necklaces were stepped into the sand by monsters.
In game parlance, 80% of the equipment I exploded was swallowed up by system bugs.
What Mo Bei was holding in his hand was a gold-level magic leather belt with very good properties. Except inside Warlock Canyon, it may not be possible to explode elsewhere.
If he went to the tavern and said that he had caught this belt while fishing, other career changers would probably throw him out with the excuse, "You can brag, but don't treat us like fools."
After looking around again, he made a move that most people would probably do. He threw the belt into the bucket, then picked up the spear and stirred it in the water, hoping to find something else.
Naturally, he found nothing. This magic leather belt probably just drifted with the current and happened to be touched by him.
At this time, he also noticed that he had overlooked something.
This belt has been identified, indicating that it was once owned by a job changer. It is naturally impossible to discard such equipment, so the only possibility is this. . The owner of the equipment was killed.
The belt was still knotted, so the corpse of the job-changer must have been mutilated before it fell off.
Thinking of this, Mo Bei's eyes looking at the sea became complicated.
Many images could not help but appear in his mind. Some of them were of the ship heading to Kurast being torn apart by giant sea beasts, and all the crew members and the career changers on board were killed.
Or maybe a career changer was killed by a monster on the beach, his body was torn apart, and this belt was picked up by himself after drifting for an unknown length of time.
He couldn't help but feel a little sad, and there was not much joy left in picking up the equipment.
Looking at the water and sighing, seeing that it was already noon, he put all his things in the inventory, climbed up the ladder on the seawall, and walked outside the house.
Before I even opened the courtyard door, I heard pleasant shouts coming from the courtyard, accompanied by the muffled sound of fists and feet hitting wooden stakes.
It was Akali. When Mo Bei heard the voice, the corners of his mouth pursed unconsciously. This girl actually woke up and looked quite energetic.
Even if the same job transferees have extremely strong physiques, each person's mental state will still be very different.
Akali always looks full of energy, which is in sharp contrast to Alvin's laziness.
Mo Bei listened for a while before pushing open the courtyard door, and sure enough he saw Akali moving between several wooden piles, her fists and feet raining like rain.
Don't look at it. It's just boxing and kick training. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with their actual combat. But in fact, this kind of fist and kick training can better train the rhythm of attacks, improve the coordination between body movement and attacks, and thereby increase the strength of strikes.
To put it bluntly, it is this simple training that can increase critical strikes. Although the improvement effect cannot be seen overnight, it is truly effective.
This is why the sparring between two people on the same team, Alvin and Akali, is always one-sided. A man transformed into a bear, taking care of his head and body, and threw the king's eight punches. The other ignored the huge body size gap and was able to hold down the bear and beat him violently in a few rounds.
In fact, this is mostly due to the power he has accumulated since childhood. When Alvin fights against Akali, his combat effectiveness is probably relatively limited.
"Are you back?" In a corner of the courtyard wall, Alvin sat up in shock as he was dying.
Mo Bei was stunned. He had never noticed him slumped under the corner before. Looking at his appearance, it seemed that he had been sparring with Akali.
Akali had also stopped her movements and waved to him. Different from her previous cheerfulness and ease, her smile seemed to contain a hint of unnoticeable embarrassment and shyness.
"How is your recovery?" Mo Bei asked.
"It's no problem. Let's move around for a while and then prepare to take the equipment for repair." Akali nodded.
Mo Bei remembered that he didn't send much equipment for repair this time, and those two pieces were seriously damaged. They should have been almost repaired, so he said:
"Then let's go together, I'll get the equipment."
Akali nodded happily again, which made Alvin on the side a little dumbfounded. This look of resignation was still the same boss with a tough style. . Where did the fierceness that hit me just now go?
"Now, your things were left on the table yesterday." Mo Bei handed the small bag of gems to Akali's hand, and then took out the small bucket containing the fish, preparing to go to the kitchen to deal with it.
"I heard from Milor that you went fishing. It seems that you caught a lot. It's amazing! I tried it by the river next to the camp before, but I never caught any fish." Akali looked at it. The fish in the small bucket asked hesitantly:
"What about these fish..."
"Um. That... Oh, by the way, look at this. I accidentally hooked it while fishing." Mo Bei picked up the belt from the bucket to change the subject.
Akali was also surprised when she saw the belt. This was the first time she saw expansion-level equipment, and it was also gold-level.
"This...can I catch equipment while fishing here?" Akali felt that her knowledge had been refreshed.
"I think this is just a coincidence." Mo Bei was relatively calm because he thought of what happened to the previous owner of the equipment.
But Alvin on the side was not calm.
"Boss, I won't go out with you in the afternoon, I want to go fishing too!"
As he spoke, he turned and entered the house, probably intending to drag Ned with him.
Sure enough, after a while, Ned was also dragged out. Although Mo Bei repeatedly said that this possibility was slim, the two of them borrowed his lucky "fishing rod" with excitement, handed the equipment to be repaired to Akali, and went to the beach together.
When Akali saw the "fishing rod" and thought of the miserable appearance of those fish, she couldn't help but smile.
Mo Bei also scratched his head in embarrassment and said helplessly: "The little fish on the shore will not bite the hook alive or dead..."
"I heard that if you go out to sea, you will encounter some big fish. If we have a chance, we can try it together." Akali said and looked in the direction of the sea, seeming to be really interested.
"Ah? Okay. Okay..." But Mo Bei remembered what the lean boatman said before, and couldn't help but have some thoughts, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
There is no way, normal men are always prone to overthinking when facing a girl they are attracted to.
"I'll change my clothes and come back." Akali put away the equipment of her two teammates and returned to the house.
Mo Bei also found Milor and Perona and asked:
"I'm going out for a trip, do you two want to go with me?"
The two women shook their heads in unison, and Milor stretched and said.
"I just went there yesterday. I'm tired of shopping. You can go by yourself."
"Oh, then, I'll go by myself." Mo Bei was secretly happy and ran away with a silly smile on his face.
Perona and Milor looked at each other and smiled meaningfully.
Akali changed out of her training clothes with wristbands and leggings, wore a slightly slim-fitting knee-length skirt, and walked side by side with Mo Bei on the street.
When she was with Alvined, she would habitually lead the way wherever she went, but at this time she deliberately trailed Mo Bei a little bit, with some intention of following.
"You. You look good dressed like this. I've never seen you dressed like this before." After walking for a while, Mo Bei finally plucked up the courage and broke the silence first.
"Yes...really? These are my old clothes. I haven't worn them for a long time and they are a bit too small." Akali spoke softer and softer, and her earlobes turned red.
Mo Bei tilted his head slightly and saw Akali's tight collar. I thought to myself, "Well, these clothes are indeed too small. I usually wear protective gear, so they are really inconspicuous and don't leak."
Then he quickly looked ahead. The previous conversation with Suzana made him understand that peeking was actually very easy to detect, not to mention that Akali was a job changer with keen senses.
Akali's shyness made the atmosphere silent again, and Mo Bei mistakenly thought that she felt uncomfortable. I couldn't help but curse myself secretly, what kind of topic was this picked?
As soon as you get started, you criticize the other person's appearance, which shows how wolfish you are.
He recalled that when he got along with Akali in the past, he always felt very relaxed and happy. But I don’t know since when, the atmosphere between the two became a little reserved. This puzzled him and made him feel a little nervous.
He had a similar experience before time travel. After an awkward moment alone with a girl he liked, there was nothing more to do.
After thinking about it, Mo Bei tried hard to get rid of some random thoughts in his mind and started to find some topics that normal friends often talk about.
Fortunately, as he began to talk about some of his experiences in Lugaoyin during this period, as well as the customs and customs here. The atmosphere between the two gradually became lively again, and Akali unknowingly returned to her usual generous and frank manner, letting out her trademark hearty laughter from time to time.
Akali took the small wooden stick that Mo Bei suddenly handed over, with confusion on her face.
"Please eat."
"ah?"
Akali suddenly had a silly look on her face, and after hearing Mo Bei talk about the poor diet she had when she first arrived in Lugaoyin, she put the wooden stick in her hand under her nose and sniffed, only to realize that it was actually a piece of hard dried meat. After taking a bite, it actually made the sound of a stick breaking, and I couldn't help laughing.
Listening to the sweet laughter in his ears and feeling Akali's unpretentious frankness, Mo Bei felt a warm current in his heart. He felt that he was very happy just being alone with Akali like this.
