Chapter 107: Simple Motives
Chapter 107: Simple Motives
"Ride... ride? How to ride?" Sang Jue suspected that Knicks had said something wrong.
"You wait!" Knicks glanced at Sang Jue and carefully recalled what Sister Lu had told him about the means of transportation.
next second!
"boom!"
Knicks disappeared on the spot, and a red car suddenly appeared!
"Hiss! You...you you! You are not a human!" Looking at the scene in front of him, Sang Jue was so shocked that he almost jumped on the spot.
"I'm a monster, of course not a human! Hurry up and get in the car!" Knicks urged.
Hearing the sound of the car making the Knicks sound, Sang Jue seemed to have not recovered yet. In his confused thoughts, he followed Knicks' words and got into the car with his hands and feet.
After he finally reacted, he was already sitting in the driver's seat!
The car that Knicks transformed into did not need anyone to drive it. Knicks was already driving people towards their destination.
"You...are you a monster?" Sang Jue was not stupid. He knew that only monsters had such strength, so he spoke in doubt and surprise.
"Yeah!" Knicks responded happily.
"Why haven't I seen a monster like you before? It can even transform into a human... and a means of transportation, as if it has seventy-two transformations!" Sang Jue exclaimed, but he was very frightened inside.
If there were many monsters like this, they would have already mixed in with humans. If the monsters did not expose themselves voluntarily, humans would have no way of discovering them!
"S-level and above monsters have the intelligence to transform into humans, it's no big deal! Even though I'm not a high-level monster like the shop owner, I'm an insectoid and have the ability to transform things. Even though I'm not as good as S-level, I can still transform into a human form." Nix explained as he controlled the body of the car to avoid obstacles.
What did he just hear?
What is a high-level monster like the shop owner?
Sang Jue, who was sitting in the driver's seat, tightly grasped the seat belt in front of his chest, his face showing fear, and trembling, "The shop... the shop owner is also a monster? Or is he the legendary S... S-level?"
I didn’t expect the shop owner to be an S-class monster!
Horror!
Please forgive Sang Jue, this ignorant human being. Human beings are still in the early stages of exploring the continent of the "Endless Survival" game. Generally, they kill monsters of level B, C, and D.
At most, humans with a little bit of strength would form a team to have a chance to challenge A-level monsters.
It's hard for humans to defeat A-level monsters, let alone S-level!
Even the map where the S-level monsters are located has not been explored, and there is nothing to see!
"Yes! The owner is an S-level monster boss!" Nix's tone was filled with inexplicable admiration.
"Then...why would a monster like the shop owner come here to open a supermarket? Isn't this clearly a donation for relief?" Sang Jue really couldn't understand why a monster would just do something good and instead blend in with humans to open a supermarket for supplies.
He knew that the Monster Supermarket had abundant supplies and the prices were lower than those in the game mall.
And according to his observation, the store owner was not a bloodthirsty person, but surprisingly easy-going, and the treatment he offered was much better than that of a human boss!
Is there any other purpose?
"What's the big deal? The reason why Sister Lu came to the human world to open a monster supermarket is to clear the level. I heard that those who clear the level can make a wish to the game system of "Endless Survival". Sister Lu wants to have a child with her partner, but there's nothing she can do! Monsters are just a string of data, which is difficult to do." Nix sighed helplessly.
Sang Jue was stunned, his shattered worldview was shattered into ashes, destroyed even more thoroughly.
They were conspiring against others, but it turned out that they were simply trying to solve their infertility problem.
What a simple motive!
Sang Jue breathed a sigh of relief instantly, as long as they didn’t want to kill all human beings!
The sense of crisis faded, and Sang Jue felt better than ever before. He seemed to be more expecting that what the shop owner was doing would be successful!
He didn't care at all about the owner's identity as a monster. You know, sometimes human hearts are more terrifying than monsters!
Although the store owner did this for his own sake, the vested interests in this matter are humans. Judging from the actions rather than the heart, he will definitely go all out to support the store owner in passing the level and ending the "Endless Survival" game.
"Then...how can I meet the clearance requirements for opening a Monster Supermarket? Wouldn't it be faster to become a city leader?" After Sang Jue made up his mind, he couldn't help but worry about the development progress of the store owner.
After all, the conditions for passing the level are harsh, but they mainly revolve around humans!
City Leaders are able to manage entire towns, obviously much faster!
"Sister Lu said that city leaders have drawbacks, but they are only temporary. It would be better to open a monster supermarket, start with economic materials, and build a human security base by yourself. With the materials in hand, are you afraid that no one will come?" Knicks' tone was full of admiration, and he had learned the original words 100%!
Sang Jue suddenly realized the key point and couldn't hide his joy on his face, "Indeed! I was thinking wrong! The owner's idea is very good! Is she really a monster and not a human?"
Are all high-level monsters so intelligent?
"Nonsense! Of course Sister Lu is a monster!" Knicks made a sharp turn and said unhappily.
What does this human mean?
How could Sister Lu be a human?
Of course it’s on their side as monsters!
Sang Jue leaned forward urgently, tightly grasped the safety belt on his chest, and said quickly: "Of course! Of course it's a monster!"
He was afraid that if he spoke any later, Knicks would cause him to get into a car accident!
As soon as he finished speaking, the car suddenly calmed down and drove smoothly all the way.
"Can I know what kind of monster the owner is? I'm just curious. The owner can control water, so he must be related to water!" Seeing that Knicks had returned to normal speed, Sang Jue knew that the other party was not really angry. His curiosity got the better of him, so he caught Knicks and asked him again.
"Sister Lu is a mermaid! The original version is very beautiful!" Knicks was like a little fan, and he spoke very excitedly!
"Siren! Mermaid?" A hint of surprise flashed across Sang Jue's eyes. He didn't expect that a creature like that in a fairy tale would appear!
"What's a mermaid?" Knicks was puzzled.
"Creatures similar to sirens, both very dreamy and beautiful." An extra memory from last night suddenly emerged in Sang Jue's mind.
fish?
Did he overlook something?
"Knyx, do you know the owner's partner?" Sang Jue asked hurriedly, trying to catch the flash of inspiration in his mind.
"The owner's partner? I've never met him. Oh, by the way! Before leaving today, I went to the owner to discuss the purchase categories. When I asked about mushrooms, the owner said not to worry about it, as her partner is responsible for the production of mushrooms?" Knicks became more and more puzzled as he spoke.
Who is the shop owner's partner?
Why haven't you seen it?
"Mushroom!" Sang Jue quickly grasped the key point.
Fish! Mushrooms!
The answer is about to come out!
Since the store owner is an S-level monster, which monster would dare to step into the store owner's territory?
It must be her partner!
So, the little mushroom last night was the prototype of the owner’s partner!
He thought carefully about whether he had said anything he shouldn't have said in front of the shop owner's wife.
Good guy!
These are all things that shouldn’t be said!
Sang Jue stared straight ahead with unfocused eyes, looking quite disheartened.
Does the store owner know?
Now I know. She won’t think that he corrupted her partner and silence him out of shame and anger, right?
Knicks talked a lot along the way, revealing everything about the interior of the Monster Supermarket. Fortunately, Lu Wan had originally planned to expose it on purpose, otherwise it would be hard to explain.
"Knicks, promise me! Don't just answer whatever others ask you from now on, and don't tell anyone else the true situation in the Monster Supermarket." Sang Jue completely stood on the side of the store owner. Looking at Knicks selling out his teammates, he couldn't help but worry.
"Of course! I won't tell everyone who asks! The owner said that you will be a member of the Monster Mart in the future, so you have to know." Nix explained immediately.
After hearing this, Sang Jue smiled happily yet helplessly.
He has completely boarded the "pirate ship" of Monster Supermarket!
It seemed that the owner had no intention of letting him go from the beginning to the end, but he was also very happy because after all, the owner gave him full trust.
First stop, the swamp.
The surroundings were gloomy and dark, with dead trees and rotten plants everywhere. Sang Jue couldn't help but shudder, "Whose monster's territory is this?"
"Shh!" Knicks signaled Sang Jue to shut up.
Sang Jue immediately shut his mouth quietly and looked forward nervously through the car window.
The next second, the entire swamp shook, mud surged, and a swamp monster covered in corruption and mud appeared. A deep and eerie voice rang out: "Nix? You actually brought a human this time."
"Yes! Monster Supermarket recruited a new employee. I brought him here so that everyone can get acquainted. His name is Sang Jue. He will come with me to pick up goods in the future." Knicks introduced enthusiastically.
"Hello... hello!" Sang Jue greeted the terrifying-looking swamp monster with a wry smile. His eyes fell on the top of the other's head. Looking at the long string of blood bars on the swamp monster's head, he took a breath in his heart.
"Hello, please keep the goods this time." The swamp monster waved his mud-covered hand gently, and a string of mud was thrown out and floated in the air.
A pop-up window suddenly popped up in front of Sang Jue.
[Whether to collect high-level monster materials - Swamp Monster Mud x50]
【whether】
Sang Jue reacted quickly, selected [Yes], and put 50 sets of mud into his backpack.
"Sang Jue, give the 25 portions of human food in your backpack to the swamp monster." Nix reminded.
He didn't have a game backpack, so he could only leave the redeemed food with Sang Jue.
"Okay!" Sang Jue took out 25 portions of human food and gave them to the swamp monster.
The endless swamp devoured all 25 portions of human food. The entire swamp shook with joy, and the swamp mud surged violently like boiling water.
"Burp - thank you, it's delicious." The swamp monster let out a super long burp from its huge muddy abyss mouth.
Sang Jue was dumbfounded. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. His face turned red because of holding it in. "No... You're welcome."
Knicks took Sang Jue to the next stop, and Sang Jue saw many monsters along the way.
The number of high-level monsters I saw in a year is not as many as the number I encountered today!
Sang Jue also gained a lot of experience. He visited many maps that have not yet been developed in the "Endless Survival" game continent and met many high-level monsters.
If you tell others that you are friends with high-level monsters, no one will believe you!
It was not until the afternoon that all the goods were replenished, and Knicks took Sang Jue back to the Monster Supermarket.
"Shop...shop owner!" Sang Jue saw the shop owner sitting inside the bar. Everything that happened today was beyond his understanding, and he wanted to say something!
Lu Wanyue looked up at Sang Jue, her eyes understanding, and said calmly: "Did everything go smoothly along the way?"
"Everything goes well! Doesn't the owner have any other questions?" Sang Jue had countless questions he wanted to ask.
Why should I tell him the truth about Monster Supermarket?
Did she trust him, a human being, so much?
Aren’t you afraid that he will leak it out?
......
"What can I ask? Don't think too much. You're tired after a long day. Let's go to the second floor for dinner." Lu Wanyue smiled.
Sang Jue clenched his fists tightly, then loosened them and said solemnly: "I will definitely work hard in the Monster Mart! I will do my best for what you are going to do!"
"Okay then. I look forward to your performance." Lu Wanyue said with a serious look.
Sang Jue instantly breathed a sigh of relief after he finished speaking. He was extremely excited and full of energy, but he still obediently followed Knicks to the second floor to eat.
"Yue..." Little Mushroom gently tugged at his partner's sleeve, with a look of confusion on his face.
"From today on, Sang Jue is a true member of the Monster Supermarket." Lu Wanyue chuckled, obviously very satisfied with today's results.
Little Mushroom seemed to understand but not quite. His mind was not on the words at all. He was thinking about what Sang Jue was teaching.
"Gu seems strange today." Lu Wanyue said in a declarative tone.
He is not as clingy as before, and his mind is somewhere else, looking absent-minded.
"No...it's not strange!" The little mushroom retorted in panic, with a hint of trying to cover up something.
"Okay, whatever Gu says is what it is." Little Mushroom was worried and didn't want to talk about it. Lu Wanyue wouldn't continue to get to the bottom of it and just coaxed him gently.
"Yueyue... wants to eat fish..." Little Mushroom blushed and spoke slowly.
"Well, let's ask Fugui to cook the fish later." Lu Wanyue thought that Little Mushroom missed the taste of yesterday's food again and didn't think anything wrong at all.
After all, the little mushroom is so naive and hasn’t figured it out yet!
How could I understand?
I'm just surprised that a mushroom would unexpectedly like to eat fish.
"..." Little Mushroom didn't know how to speak again for a moment. His cheeks turned red. He seemed to have experienced Lu Wanyue's mood last night. He could only pinch his nose and accept it, "Okay..."
When Lu Wanyue brought Xiao Mushroom to the second floor, looking at the steamed sea bass, spicy yellow croaker, and crucian carp stewed with tofu on the table, Xiao Mushroom's gray eyes lit up slightly, his Adam's apple rolled, and the thoughts in his mind had long been thrown out of the window!
All that's left is to eat!
If Sang Jue saw it, he would definitely look at Little Mushroom with a look of disappointment and sigh: It was all in vain!
All I think about is eating!
At night, the little mushroom stood by the bed, dawdling.
"Gu, come up and sleep." Lu Wanyue called out sleepily.
"Yue...eat fish..." Little Mushroom looked at his partner's expression carefully and spoke softly again.
"Didn't you have enough for dinner? Do you want to go to the second floor for a midnight snack?" Lu Wanyue was sleepy and her thoughts became slow. She didn't think about the difference at all.
"No...no thanks!" Little Mushroom quickly refused, hurriedly lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
How come this is different from what he thought?
"Okay, if you're hungry, tell me and I'll go to the second floor with you for a midnight snack." Lu Wanyue said softly, fearing that Little Mushroom would disturb her rest and keep her hunger to herself.
"No... I'm not hungry, I just... want to..." Little Mushroom really just wanted to do something, but it wasn't about having a midnight snack.
"Okay, good night."
"Yueyue...good night..." The little mushroom heard the soft and gentle breathing sounds beside the pillow, and completely became autistic like a mushroom.
