Free Web NovelChapter 227: Chapter 90: [Martial Arts Monkey]_3
"But now I know how overconfident I was, thanks to you guys."
"I think I’d better just wait to set off with Captain Palin."
As he finished speaking, a subtitle panel suddenly jumped out in front of the three of them.
[Ding dong!]
[Switch mission (↑)]
[Mission: Escort Mr. Grasshopper to the Neighboring Town]
[Hint: This task is limited to 1 person]
"What..."
Ree Shil looked a little surprised.
This (↑) meant the mission to escort Mr. Grasshopper to the neighboring town had higher card rewards than their current task.
And Ree Shil and Andrew Hill both knew that such missions were usually not just a single task.
It formed a chain, which continued to engage the card player.
It seemed that Mr. Grasshopper’s chain might not be worse than Spider Doctor’s.
So the most rational course of action now was to assign one of them to take on this escort task.
Thus, in an instant, the three of them exchanged glances.
Ree Shil: Who goes?
Mossy Mushroom: Who goes?
Andrew Hill: Who goes?
In the end, the decision was for Andrew Hill to take the escort task.
After all, she had the highest card player level and the most cards.
The so-called having more cards meant that when things went south, she had enough waste cards to ditch.
"I have some errands to run in that direction anyway, so I’ll accompany you."
After making the decision, Andrew Hill raised the sign to Mr. Grasshopper.
"Uh, you?"
He looked at this mute insect spirit in front of him, somewhat hesitant.
"Don’t worry about it, Mr. Grasshopper, she’s really powerful."
Sisi reassured the other party.
And so, as they were about to return to Tree Disk Town, Andrew Hill took a separate road.
Climbing up the thick vine ladder, they finally returned to the Small Town.
Today’s Small Town was much quieter than usual.
There was not a person on the street, completely empty.
They didn’t linger, going straight to Spider Doctor’s clinic.
While Sisi was going to talk to the Spider Doctor, Ree Shil found a mummy-like straw man all wrapped up in bandages in the hospital room.
To be honest, it didn’t look too different from its usual self.
"We’re back, Grass!"
Straw Man greeted them, seemingly in good spirits.
"Grass, where’s the frog?"
It looked at Ree Shil and Mossy Mushroom but did not see a giant doll behind them.
"She took another task."
And so, Mossy Mushroom explained their situation.
"I see, grass."
Straw Man, on the other hand, told them his own situation.
"Damn!"x2
Upon hearing his account, both Ree Shil and Mossy Mushroom felt sour.
In short, this guy completed the task of testing drugs and survived.
Then the reward for the task was a full 10 Draw Card times!
"What kind of luck is this? Just lying there and trying drugs gets you a full reward task?"
Mossy Mushroom couldn’t believe it.
"You can retire now, early retire, early CD."
Ree Shil had known in the last Instance that this Task System was kind of tricky.
It seemed that the most dangerous and least likely to play a subjective role had the most convenient access to full tasks.
Who could have thought of that?
"You’ve worked hard this time."
At that moment, Spider Doctor came in.
"Your friend’s strong body is astonishing. It’s thanks to him that I was able to successfully complete the drug trials and collect a variety of meaningful indicators."
He patted the Straw Man on the shoulder enthusiastically.
Although the Small Town’s Corruption Disease was rampant now, he believed that as long as he utilized the data contributed by Straw Man, he could develop drugs for the Corruption Disease in no time.
First of all, he would slow down the progress of the disease with the drugs and then develop special medicine to cure it completely after buying more time.
"The medicine you collected this time has been very helpful to me."
"So, the medical expenses and treatment fees, let’s write them off."
As he waved his hand, a subtitle panel popped up in front of Ree Shil and Mossy Mushroom.
[Ding dong!]
[Task: Pay off Spider Doctor’s medical expenses with your body (Completed)]
[Reward: Increase Instance Draw Card times to 3]
"..."x2
For this result, Ree Shil and Mossy Mushroom were silent.
Completing a task meant they didn’t have a safety net anymore.
They didn’t win the PK against the Gnome Mothmen last time, so they let them get away.
So, they only had these 3 Draw Card times.
They went a long way, spent a few days on the task.
But the result was not as good as Straw Man receiving medication and injections.
"Alright, I still have work to do, so please help yourselves."
Having said that, Spider Doctor waved his hand and turned to leave.
"?"x2
Ree Shil and Mossy Mushroom were both taken aback. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
What happened to the follow-up task? Was it gone?
Had they known this, they would have fought Andrew Hill for the escort task.
"Oh, right."
Fortunately, at that moment, Spider Doctor stopped.
"Even though you’ve settled my medical fees, don’t forget who really saved you."
"She’s the one who truly saved your lives."
Leaving a few words, he left the room: "Sisi seems preoccupied. Go visit her at her house."
"But didn’t you also save her once before? In purely rational terms, doesn’t that mean the favors are canceled out?"
Mossy Mushroom looked up at Ree Shil.
"Are you stupid?"
Ree Shil scorned him, "What favors or not, this is purely a task hint."
Obviously, Spider Doctor’s next task was focused on Sisi.
With that, they confirmed the direction of Sisi’s house with the Spider Doctor, and the trio of one person, one mushroom, and one grass left the clinic.
At this point, Sisi is still on her way home. She was walking alone in the deserted streets, looking somewhat lost.
"Found it! It’s right here, Cute Mushroom!"
She then heard the voice of Mossy Mushroom.
Especially with the Small Town being so quiet now, the sound could be heard from a distance.
"You...?"
Seeing them rushing to her side, Sisi was a little confused.
However, neither party knew at this time that a team was approaching them.
