Infinite Cafetaria

Chapter 8 I have few companions

“I will form a new hunting group to make Chi Qi feel at ease, but not with you.” After a while, Boqi said again.

Ma Lu was not too surprised, "Is it because I'm of no use?"

 “That’s right,” Pochi admitted.

 “Very good, it seems that you have begun to enter the role of group leader.”

"I don't know where you come from, but it seems that you really don't understand the desert outside. Although there are endless opportunities there, it is also full of risks. Your performance when facing the Thousand-tooth Sand Snapper is completely like a novice. , if I allow you to join the group, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive even one day," Xiao Zhengtai warned.

"I know that hunting is dangerous, so if a fight occurs, I will try to stand behind you." Ma Lu said.

　　　…”

"Before you make the final decision, you might as well listen to what my telekinesis ability is." Ma Lu threw out his trump card.

"Have you also awakened your telekinesis ability?" A look of surprise finally appeared on Boqi's face, "Which system is it from?"

“My telekinesis ability is quite special, it’s from Rogue type.”

"Meat...pigeon?" Boqi looked confused, "What is that? Isn't the mind power only limited to the seven major systems of wind, fire, electricity, metal, earth, beast, and water?"

 “That’s why my ability is special.”

"You couldn't have made this up to get into the hunting group, right?" Pochi expressed doubts.

"Let's not think about establishing a new hunting group for now. Let's form a team and I'll prove it to you. If you think I'm lying to you, just kick me out when the time comes." Ma Lu suggested.

 …

While changing the battery of the motorcycle, Boqi stood in front of the wind turbine of the power station for a while, and his head became slightly clearer.

 He felt that he was most likely crazy to believe the words of a guy with unknown origins whom he had not known for a day.

 In the final analysis, it’s probably because of unwillingness.

Although he has quit being a Harper and said he would never be a hunter again, Poch still cannot accept this reality deep in his heart. The most important thing is that he once promised the man that he would fight alongside him.

Now that person is gone, but Boqi still remembers his original promise, and he wants to continue fighting even more, carrying that person's share on his shoulders.

  Damn it! Pochi punched the iron frame next to him, causing everyone passing by to look at him.

  Little Shota ignored the pain in his hands and went to the nearby store to buy a hunting suit. He replenished the supplies he had consumed last time, and then rode the charged motorcycle back to the Bear Bar.

From a distance, he saw Malu squatting outside the door, with a small iron cage at his feet.

Pochi recognized what was inside and frowned, "Where did you find so many young flame lizards?"

“I bought it in the back kitchen of the bar. I’ll put it on your account first, and I’ll pay you back after the hunt.” Malu said as he climbed onto the motorcycle with the cage in hand.

Flame lizards are the most common animals in the desert. They are easy to catch, so they are not very valuable. Although Boqi thought it was strange for Malu to bring a cage of flame lizards when he went out to hunt in the city, he didn't say anything more. He turned around and drove his motorcycle. The car drove out of the city.

Malu put on the hunting suit that Boqi bought for him in the back seat. This was only the most basic style, but even so it was much better than the black suit he was wearing as a gift from Chongdan. It was both insulated and breathable. above.

In addition, the matching face towel and goggles can also block wind and sand and protect his mouth, nose and eyes.

 Entering the desert millipede again was no longer as embarrassing as five hours ago, and this time his golden finger had also arrived. Previously, he was attacked by the Thousand-foot Sand Snapper. At the critical moment, Malu had thrown the [Gift of Destiny], which Lao Wang said was the most powerful artifact in the multiverse.

 The result was nothing except a somewhat weird number - 29.

　　Until he later personally murdered a young flame lizard, a series of alarms suddenly popped up on the [Traveler Bracelet] on his hand.

　　【Attention, attention, attention...Special high-dimensional energy has been detected, and new rules are being inserted into the current universe】

 【The new rules have been inserted...the triggering conditions have been met and additional functions will be activated soon】

  【Function number 29】

 【Congratulations to your team for just defeating the powerful enemy Flame Young Lizard, please choose one of the following three blessings to receive it before the 60-second countdown ends】

  1. [Aerobic enthusiasts: increase the endurance of the whole team by 1%]

  2. [Primary treatment: Designate a teammate to provide a normal treatment]

  3. [Arsonist: A person with fire telekinesis ability in the team, the flame created has a 3% chance of rekindling if it is extinguished]

There is also a line of small print below: Blessings only take effect in the current universe, and all blessings will be reset when leaving the current universe.

Ma Lu was not in a hurry to choose, because these three rewards seemed to be of little use to him, but the familiar post-war selection of one of the three and the rules that took effect in the game brought back a lot of memories for him.

  Roguelike? Is it actually a Roguelike?

 Roguelike, also known as meat pigeon games, is a type of game like time management games. However, compared to time management games, meat pigeon games are obviously more popular nowadays.

 And like time management games, it can be inserted into any game just as a new gameplay, like now.

Ma Lu thought for a while and chose the first blessing. He was not injured now, and primary treatment was not currently needed. The meaning of arson was a bit unclear, so the only option left was to increase endurance.

However, the 1% endurance increase can only be said to be better than nothing. Ma Lu couldn't even feel it. He could only find the extra blessing in the character status bar that appeared on the bracelet.

However, just one blessing is obviously not enough.

So Malu sneaked into the bar kitchen while Boqi was changing the battery of the motorcycle.

Although he only stayed for less than three minutes and was kicked out, he still harvested seven flame lizards and took advantage of the chaos to kill a dying blood-sucking long-tailed weasel at the sink. The latter turned out to be a two-star ingredient and provided Malu with another There are three options.

  1.【Iron Lifter: Increase the strength of the whole team by 10%】

  2. [You are slowed down: When a member of the team hits an attack, there is a 3% probability of adding slowness to the target, and the target's movement speed is reduced by 50% when in a slow state]

　　3. [I have few companions: The smaller the number of people in the team, the higher the basic attribute bonus of a single team member, and the strength, speed, endurance, and reaction force are increased by 50%. The effect is reduced by 10% for each additional person, and the blessing will not take effect if there are more than five people]

The three options this time made Ma Lu’s eyes light up.

　　The options he got when he killed the Flame Young Lizard were all white, but after defeating the Vampire Long-tailed Weasel, the colors of those options also changed, becoming two blue and one purple.

Ma Lu probably scanned them all and directly selected the purple blessing at the bottom without any hesitation.
