Chapter 285 "I Miss You~"



District 109.

Alan brought out flowers, a coconut, and a roasted bird, placing them in front of a tombstone.

The tombstone was made of fine gold, with large characters in the middle: [Tomb of Gutmann, the Good Man of District 109]

Epitaph: He was a good man.

"Big brother~ can you hear me?"

Alan sat in front of the tombstone, opened the coconut in his hand, drank, and said: "After we killed your Emperor-level earthworm that day, we watched its Blood Token fly up into the sky and finally disappeared in the west. Were you angry and took it away?"

"I advised them not to kill, but they said they wanted to help you grow crops, don't blame them~ you still have to bless our District 109."

"When you were alive, you protected us. Now that you're on the other side, we still need your protection. Are we too greedy?"

"Now, our District 109 has merged with eight other districts. There are many people, indeed we have great strength. Now if we share, passing one skill per person, the BOSS would be dead. But, there are also bad parts, such as power struggles. Everyone wants to be the boss~"

"David, who is only interested in money, has been tormented crazy by Ming. But the people from the other seven districts are not going to hand all their money to him. Sigh~ you were better, your intentions were always clear. You only took small advantages, actually for our benefit. They can't do it, acting nice on the surface, but who knows what kind of bad things they're plotting behind the scenes~"

"By the way, a mutant who had mutated four times went mad last night, killed fifteen people, injured more than thirty. He's now locked up and ready to be executed. Other mutants are planning to move away from  Town. Don't worry, I'm in the north, and no one dares to come."

"Mike and his wife are living in your house."

"It is said that there are now pure mutant districts, perhaps the mutants in our district will migrate away."

"If you were still... still alive~"

"I miss you~"

...

"The Walking Giant?"

"What is that?"

Ming sneezed as he returned home.

Did he catch a cold?

Impossible, with hundreds of points in physique, if he could still catch a cold, what use would that physique be? It must be someone talking ill of him.

Or maybe someone missed him?

Alice?

It couldn't be Alan and the others.

"I'm going to sleep, I'm tired~"

Ming cleaned up and went to rest. The fight against Raoul had consumed a lot of his stamina. He had consumed dozens of stamina potions and his body was showing adverse reactions.

The guy didn't even have money, he could only try to exploit his potential.

He slept until nightfall, finding that the little bear and three frogs were still asleep.

"Keep sleeping, you really wore yourselves out today."

Ming got up to prepare a meal, then suddenly thought, "Isn't it disrespectful if I don't use the chef at home?"

Now that he was the boss, he naturally had to let the members of the household use their specialties. 

If the chef didn't cook for a long time, would he lose motivation?

He immediately summoned the chef, helping it restore some of the defense points it had lost in the day's fight. Then he summoned Raoul, who collapsed on the ground, looking totally not up.

"Eh~ I was the one who broke your limbs, huh~"

"Is it that expensive?"

Ming looked at the puppet repair scroll in the apocalypse shop. The price had gone up?

This damn shop actually raised the price!

He bought one and used it on Raoul.

Crackling sounds echoed as Raoul twitched wildly on the ground.

[Your puppet, Raoul, has been fully repaired.]

Phew!

Raoul abruptly stood up, hitting his head on the ceiling.

[Your Da Vinci has been awakened, looks at Raoul who broke the ceiling, and smiles, it's time to move to a new home. He has been discontented with this simple home for a while...Going back to sleep~]

[Your Foodie twitched its legs, didn't wake up... Merlin glanced at Raoul, then at you, ming, I want to he  as my pet~]

"Okay~"

Ming nodded with a smile and added, "But, you have to wait until I have fully developed its potential."

Merlin nodded, closed his eyes, and continued to sleep.

"Right~"

Ming suddenly remembered Da Vinci's comment about getting a new home. Just look at Raoul, he was already impatient.

He'll deal with this after finishing the shared mission tomorrow.

"Kneel!"

Ming pointed his finger.

Thud!

Raoul knelt on the ground without any hesitation.

However, looking at Raoul right now, ming was a little bit confused.

Was he considered a humanoid zombie? Or a mutated creature? Or a mutant?

"Chef."

Ming released the chef from the puppet space, and pointed at Raoul who was kneeling on the ground facing away from him, "You can cook to your heart's content today, he doesn't dare not to like it."

"Heh~"

The chef raised his spatula, smashed it on Raoul's head, then handed out a banana.

[Puppet Raul, takes the banana, finds it delicious, and loses attack ability for 5 seconds.]

[Puppet Chef, triggered binge eating, putting down the dining table...]

[Puppet Raoul sits at the chair, facing the chef, the effect of delicious food is nullified.]

[Puppet Chef looks at you, and stops.]

"So you won't cook if he watches you?"

Ming helplessly stood up, glanced at the chef, then at Raoul, "You can't blame the chef, you can only blame yourself for being so ugly."

"Got it~"

Ming casually took out a mask and put it over Raoul's face. When he is facing his target, he can resist negative effects, now with his face covered, it should work, right?

Looking at the chef, "Come on, continue~"

[Puppet Chef hands over a pile of pickles, Raoul takes it, and loses attack ability for 5 seconds.]

[Puppet Chef hands over a plate of sour cucumbers, Raoul takes it, and loses attack ability for 5 seconds.]

[...]

"Indeed it works."

If he had thought of this earlier, would he have lost so much money?

[Your Foodie opens his eyes, and jumps onto the dining table, looking at the sour cucumbers, and pickles, he completely lost his appetite, Ming, you're abusing your pets~]

[Foodie looks at the chef, orders a cold dish of white fat worms for Da Vinci, a plate of fried pufferfish with poisonous mushrooms for Merlin, pig knuckles and goose stew in the iron pot for Little Bear, honey cake, strawberry pie, why are you looking at me? Can't Little Bear have a big appetite?]

"..."

Ming lay on the chair, with Foodie participating, he didn't need to worry about the richness of dinner.

Then he opened the five-star clearance treasure chest:

[Appraisal Scroll*3]

[Fusion Scroll*1]

[Legendary Treasure Map*1]

"Well, it's not too bad~"

Ming felt slightly disappointed. Honestly, he only caught Raoul this time. He got no equipment and didn't earn any money...

"Huh?"

It seemed that Da Vinci had stripped off one of Raoul's skills.

[Give You a Whip: When facing disobedient animals, the beast tamer will whip them. It's used on a single target. After hitting the target, there's a certain chance to trigger a stunning effect, making it temporarily lose its desire to attack for 2 seconds. The triggering chance is increased by 30% against mammalian mutant creatures. Cooldown: 5 minutes. Each use consumes 10 Spirit, 30 Mental Power, and 50 Physical Strength. A special beast tamer's whip is needed to use this skill.]
