Hojo Natsuki thought this was a bit weird, but the situation was urgent and the frog's life was more important, so he could only restrain his desire to complain and pull the unlucky frog, who had literally gone into the sea, to shore, and then rescue the package that almost sank. The frog fell to the shore, soaked all over, with its medium-length silver hair stuck to its head.
Its fat white belly was arched and rose and fell slightly with its breathing.
[[Qinwa] Survived the catastrophe, still in shock]
[[Qin Frog] just thought you wanted to murder it]
[[Qin Frog] regained some sanity, favorability -20]
[[Qin Frog] Current Favorability -134]
So that's why. The frog was afraid that the player would hurt it, no wonder it struggled so hard just now.
The harp frog can't swim. It was sitting on the beach enjoying the breeze and was suddenly picked up by someone. Its first reaction must be panic and fear of drowning. This is very reasonable... The only unreasonable thing is why the little frog can't swim!
After falling into the water, the favorability was only deducted by 20 points, which surprised Hojo Natsuki a little.
Maybe Gua Gua trusts him more than before.
He honestly sent a message to Qinwa to apologize, trying to save his favorability. In addition to the explanation, he also added the pitiful emoji "qwq" that he had seen on the Hong Kong black forum before. Uh, is it "pwp" or "qwq"? It's about the same, just pick one.
Natsuki: [I'm sorry, I was afraid you would fall into the sea, so I wanted to move you away pwp]
Anyway, I can't honestly admit that I just wanted to bully it.
The message bar rotated twice, and a red exclamation mark appeared next to it, indicating [Message sending failed]
System: [[Qinwa]'s phone was damaged by seawater and can't receive messages. Go to the mall and buy a new phone for your Guagua.]
She's really trying to get money out of his pocket all the time!
This game is stupid...
The frog recovered from the panic of drowning, sat up slowly, touched its small bag, and took out its flip phone.
It seemed that it wanted to send a message to the player, but the phone screen turned black and there was no response no matter how the buttons were pressed. Xiao Gua was stunned holding the malfunctioning flip phone.
This game is so silly... Even a fool can't resist it! So cute!
The anger that Hojo Natsuki had just ignited was immediately extinguished by Xiao Guagua's actions. He lost his temper at all and decisively [Recharge - Buy Clover - Place Order in the Mall] three times in a row. Without even looking at the price clearly, he bought the most expensive black phone for Qinwa in descending order of price.
A white mobile phone box covered with plastic film appeared out of nowhere. The frog looked at it for a few seconds, and from the pattern and text on the shell, it determined that it was a mobile phone, and obediently opened it. Its claws were very flexible, and it opened the box quickly.
Qinwa's original mobile phone was a flip phone that had long been obsolete by modern technology. To spell words, one had to use the number 9 key. Even people like Hojo Natsuki who used the romanization input method found it difficult to type on it.
Now that he has a new phone, Qinwa will not only reply to his messages quickly, but he might even take a photo and send it to him...
Then he saw Qinwa froze again, looking at the phone over and over again. There was only one home button on the entire screen, and Qinwa didn't know how to use it. After turning on the phone, he hesitated.
[It is now BK14, people are still using Noah and XiaoOtong, and flip phones have just entered the mainstream vision]
[The advanced touch-screen phone you bought for [Qinwa] is about 10 years ahead of the current technology level]
[[Qinwa] I don’t know how to use the phone you bought me, I’m so embarrassed]
Hojo Natsuki: “…”
No need to dwell on such weird details!!
Hojo Natsuki was speechless. Fortunately, Qinwa figured out how to unlock the screen after figuring it out on his own for a while. Then he poked at the APP icons one by one to explore the functions. He learned quite quickly.
He resent the failed apology.
A pop-up message window appeared at the top of the interface. Qin Frog clicked it, read it, and typed. Its expression was quite impatient. Its paws stayed on the screen for a long time, and finally replied condensedly:
[Gin]：Go
The wind blew, and the frog shivered.
, sneezed.
Hojo Natsuki admitted that he was in the wrong and for the first time ever did not argue with Xiaogua.
He comforted her in a businesslike manner: "I'm sorry, I'll pay attention next time. Don't be angry with me. I'll buy you whatever you want. Now go find a place to take a shower and rest. Drink more hot water and be careful of catching a cold."
Does it feel a bit weird to say this
It's already been fought, as long as the meaning is conveyed.
The message was sent successfully, and a system message popped up immediately: [[Qinwa] Favorability -2]
Hojo Natsuki: “…”
What! Telling a girl to drink more hot water might make her unhappy, but how come a little frog doesn't like hearing such words
Hojo Natsuki snorted in a haughty manner, thinking that he would just let the unfortunate little Gua sulk on his own. Even if he said nice things to him, he would still withhold his favor. He would not accompany him any more and would wait until he calmed down.
He decided to do something else to divert his attention, and when he turned his eyes, he saw the light gray translucent icon of a little black cat under the avatar.
It’s the [Zero Cat] that I drew before.
I only bought it a bag of imported cat food and haven't given it any special care.
Hojo Natsuki went to the interface of [Zero Cat] and found that the validity period of Stoka had not expired.
The sky was dim, cars were flowing continuously, and a black kitten carrying a dark blue backpack was standing in front of the zebra crossing, looking around.
Behind it was a slow-moving old turtle, moving forward at a really slow pace.
The light turned green, Ling Miao looked at the turtle and walked over. He bit open the buckle of his bag with his teeth, carefully picked up the turtle shell and put it in his bag, then covered the old turtle with his schoolbag, and then followed the countdown of the green light and crossed the road on time.
[Old Turtle]: *… &￥&…
Use the Universal Translation Card.
[Old Turtle]: Child... Thank you... But I'm not ready to cross the road...
[Zero Meow]: ... Sorry.
He actually saw a live version of "Helping the old turtle cross the road". So this is the truth!
Hojo Natsuki couldn't hold back his laughter again, but when he opened the history system message list, he couldn't laugh anymore.
It is known that he left a bag of imported cat food for Ling Miao before he left.
[[Zero Cat] is a Japanese native cat, does not eat foreign food, favorability -10]
[[Zero Meow] is a curious little cat with a great talent for detective work]
[[Zero Cat] carefully explored the table but couldn't find out who put the imported cat food on it. He kept thinking about it.]
Judging from the implicit hints in the system message, as long as he buys domestic food for the patriotic warrior Ling Miao and gets some domestic cat toys, he can easily forge a friendship with this curious little cat.
But Hojo Natsuki is no longer the newbie who believes whatever the system says. He is a player who has been tortured by the capricious Frog and just witnessed the extreme grass growth where "not a single blade of grass grows" a few days ago.
Xia Shu was very alert, thinking that it was impossible for him to draw any normal animals, and that the game must have set a trap for him.
He will no longer be led by the system!
The little black cat on the screen came back home, opened his schoolbag very obediently, and did his homework at the desk.
So good.
He is so well behaved, there must be something fishy going on.
Hojo Natsuki glanced at Zero Meowth's attribute panel.
[… [Zero Cat] is often considered a mixed-blood cat or a foreign cat because of the color of its bangs, but it is indeed a native cat! Please be careful not to ask [Zero Cat] whether it is a mixed-blood cat, it will be very annoyed by this and may deduct all your impression points. ]
[[Zero Cat] is allergic to aquatic products, so never feed it fish! ]
Except for the golden fringe, Zero Cat is completely black. Its physique and body shape are a bit like Siamese. Maybe it will be mistaken for a cross between a local cat and a Siamese
In line with the traditional gaming concept of "If you don't know what to do, just try to die first", Hojo Natsuki bought a [disposable message board] and tentatively wrote -
[o meet you.]
[Are you a Thai cat?]
Ling Miao, who had just opened his homework, saw that
I was startled by the gradually emerging pen handwriting.
Perhaps due to its cat-like nature, its fur stood up even more than that of the lyre frog, with all the hair on its body standing up. It raised the homework book with one paw, observed it from a distance for a minute, and then walked over to pick it up again.
[[Zero Meow] was startled, favorability -10]
[[Zero Cat] hates it most when people say it is a foreign cat! Favorability -20]
[[Zero Meow] Current Favorability -40]
The behavior is pretty consistent with the setting.
Hojo Natsuki stretched out his finger, wanting to lift Reiu and spin him around the room, so that he could experience the same joy of a flying cat as Qinwa.
He poked.
He poked and poked.
Eh? Ling Miao didn't react at all!
The little black cat half-crouched on the ground, pondering the line of words that suddenly appeared, and was indifferent to the player's touch.
Hojo Natsuki tried for a long time, but Zero Meowth didn't move and the system messages were as quiet as a chicken.
He thought there was a bug and immediately clicked the customer service button: [Why can't I interact with Ling Miao? ]
AI Customer Service: [Hello, I’m here, Xiaome is here to serve you]
AI Customer Service: [Matching keywords, guess you want to ask 'touch to interact']
AI Customer Service: [The 'Touch Interaction' function has hidden unlocking conditions. You are not qualified to view it at your current level. The probability of triggering 'Touch Interaction' is less than 0.000001%. Only one lucky frog in a billion can feel your touch. ]
Oh, to put it simply, look at the face.
Hojo Natsuki had no choice but to accept the fact that he couldn't harm Rei-nyan, and prepared to go back and continue pulling Koto-no-Kano's hair.
Ling Miao picked up the homework book from the ground. He adjusted his lower lying position, and his knuckles just happened to touch Ling Miao's homework book.
Zero Meow was stunned.
Ling Miao pulled at the homework book, and then pulled hard, but couldn't move it.
Why
It turns out that there is no way to interact with Zero Cat by touching it, but can I touch objects other than the kitten
Hojo Natsuki was amused, holding down the homework book for a long time, watching Ling Miao using all his strength to play tug-of-war with him in the air. He watched with interest for a few seconds, and thought that Qinwa was more interesting. Just as he was about to let go, the poor homework book was torn in half by Ling Miao himself.
[[零喵]'s winter vacation homework workbook was unfortunately lost due to your tug-of-war competition. Fortunately, it is blank and I haven't started writing yet.]
[[Zero Meow] Favorability -10]
[[Zero Meow] Current Favorability -50]
Elementary school student Rei Furuya has recently encountered some unusual things.
His home was on the eighth floor, so it was obviously impossible for a child to climb up the water pipe as a prank just to put a bag of cat food on his desk.
This strange and confusing incident troubled Fōtani Ling for a long time. He tossed and turned, but could not find any trace of human intervention in the cat food incident.
Eliminating all impossibilities, the only thing left is the truth. Could it be a ghost... Impossible!
Rei Furuya is still an elementary school student, but he is a staunch materialist fighter.
So, a week later, the supernatural incident happened again.
The school was on holiday, and Furiya Ling went home and spread out a blank winter vacation homework book, ready to write some before his mother called him to eat. After he wrote his name, he opened the first lesson, and two lines of handwriting slowly appeared on the homework book.
[o meet you.]
[Are you Thai?]
Furuya Rei: “!!!”
His first reaction was horror, and he threw the homework book away; after spending a minute or two calming down, he walked over and picked up the homework book to look at it again.
The ink on those two lines of words slowly faded.
Fūya Rei breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was a prank by his classmates, probably some invisible ink pens that had just been purchased by the stationery store.
He is often teased as a foreigner because of his hair and eye color, although when asked if he is Thai
It was the first time for someone to… For a moment, the faces of several suspects flashed through his mind.
Bastard. Furiya Ling thought angrily. If he found out who was doing such a boring thing, he would beat that guy up.
Fūya Rei picked up his homework book and was about to leave, but suddenly found that he couldn't lift it at all.
The exercise book was suspended in the air without moving, as if there was an invisible person playing tug-of-war with him, and the other person was quite strong. He gradually exerted his strength...
Then he tore the homework book into pieces with his own hands!
Fūya Rei was stunned. He didn't know how to react for a moment. Was it a god? Was it a ghost? Why did the other party choose him? ... Oh, luckily, the homework book was blank.
He was in a state of uncertainty all night, waiting for the other party to reappear, but the guy did not appear until he fell asleep anxiously.
The ink words on the exercise book faded naturally, and he had no evidence at all. If he described this matter to his parents or teachers, they would probably think it was a child's fantasy, or that he was deliberately saying something weird to attract their attention.
Jiang Gu Ling was depressed and scared, so he could only call his best friend Zhu Fu Jingguang to tell him about it.
After listening to him, Zhu Fu Jingguang on the other end of the phone did not laugh at his wild ideas. Instead, he earnestly helped to come up with some ideas, such as finding a monk to perform rituals to exorcise evil spirits.
His friend was willing to believe him, which made Rei Furuya feel a little better: "Thank you, Hiro."
"'He' doesn't seem to have any bad intentions. Maybe he wants to ask for something. After all, he only damaged your homework book." Zhu Fu Jingguang comforted him, "By the way, let's go out and play together tomorrow? And buy another homework book by the way."
Fūya Rei smiled and said, "Okay."
Keimitsu Morobushi: "My good friend in Nagano is also in Tokyo now. He is spending the winter vacation at his relatives' house."
Furiya Rei thought for a moment and asked, "Is this the 'Xiao Cao' you often mentioned before?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang: "Yes, how about we go together tomorrow?"
Furuya Rei had no reason to refuse: "Then the three of us can go together."
The next day, Furutani Rei arrived at the place where he had agreed to meet with Morobushi Kagemitsu on time, and saw from afar a boy who was half a head shorter than his good friend Kagemitsu standing next to him.
The boy also had black hair, narrow pupils, and a signature pointed mouth - reminiscent of Suneo from Doraemon.
They came over.
When Shancuncao saw him, he was a little nervous, his eyes were vague, as if he was trying hard to recall something.
Zhu Fu Jingguang: "Xiao Cao, this is the Zero I told you about..."
Yamamura was worried and thought, "Oh my god, I must not embarrass myself in front of my foreign friends!" He tried to straighten his body, stretched out his hand to Furuya Zero, and blurted out in poor English: "O meet you, Zero!"
—It reads as 'Naisu steals rice and oil! The thief leaks!'
Furuya Rei: “…”
Rei Furuya recalled the two messages "o meet you" and "Are you Thai?" and felt sick.
[[Zero Meow] was mistaken for a foreign cat again, and is angry at you, favorability -50]
[[Zero Meow] Current Favorability -100]
[[Zero Cat] ran away from home]
[You lost [Zero Cat], but please don't be discouraged. Believe that fate has determined us, and you will meet again one day! ]
The next day, as soon as Hojo Natsuki came online, several system messages came bombarding him.
Xia Shu:
What did he do? Why was he deducted 50 points for no reason
Ling Miao seemed like a good student, but while he was taking a nap, he deducted 50 points of favorability and ran away from home?! What does it have to do with him, an innocent player, that he was mistaken for a foreign cat
Wait, it turns out that small animals really do run away from home
Under Qinwa’s avatar, the icon of Ling Miao’s kitten sketch turned gray.
Click it, and a postcard of Ling Miao with a small backpack and his back to the player pops up. The whole thing is grayish yellow, with a red stamp of "running away from home" on it.
The card shows that the player no longer has the right to interfere with Zero Cat's life.
Hojo Natsuki didn't think it was a pity. Without the ability to interact by tapping, much of the fun was lost.
If Zero Meow wants to leave, let him go. The soul of a cat is born free. But if he is caught again next time, he will definitely treat this patriotic and unfortunate little black cat well.
As soon as the favorability reached -100, Zero Cat ran away from home. It seems that the guide to raising a cat is complete nonsense, but some of the content is still universal.
But what about the lyre frog
After raising it for so long, the frog's favorability has never been below -100!!
Why didn't the frog run away from home when it hated him so much? Why didn't it run away from home
The answer is obvious.
Qin frog, it's pretending. Its favorability is over -130, it's all pretending, in fact it has been positive for a long time.
Admit it, Agua, you have been secretly enjoying all this for a long time!
It's just that due to my proud personality, I would never admit it.
Hojo Natsuki smiled and shook his head, thinking confidently: "Guagua has me in his heart."
He immediately understood the frog's duplicity, and observing the little croak on the screen, he felt that its every move had ulterior motives.
Is he afraid that if he shows his dependence on his master, he will be ruthlessly abandoned by the player
Alas, this is what happens to this poor little kid who has been miserable since childhood.
As soon as Hojo Natsuki was happy, he wanted to buy something for Qinwa. As the saying goes, even if you keep your mouth shut, your love will overflow from your wallet. He searched the mall and found an unusual item: [Childhood photo album of Qinwa and his mother].
The cover of the album was the one I saw just yesterday. It showed two little birds, one big and one small, snuggling under the same leaf to avoid the rain.
Maybe it's newly released
[Childhood photo album of Qinwa and his mother]
[Introduction: The deceased mother is the only person in the world that the frog has ever loved, even though it doesn’t realize it.]
[Price: 5200 Clover]
Hojo Natsuki, who often spends tens of thousands of dollars to buy equipment for Gua, no longer considers a few thousand clovers as money. 5200 is rounded off to zero yuan. Buy it, buy it!
After he placed the order, the photo album appeared on Xiaogua's desk.
During the several hours that he was left quacking, the frog moved into a hotel. One could tell by the pure white sheets and pillows and the very simple decoration, but it was a hotel after all, so it was better than the house he had lived in before.
The frog's reaction was the same as usual. It glanced at the frog with disdain, and then its gaze froze.
Three seconds later, it walked over in disbelief and stood in front of the cover of the album in a daze, as if it was afraid of disturbing the sleeping mother in the photo. After several minutes, it gently turned to the first page.
[[Qinwa] really likes the [Qinwa and Mom’s Childhood Photo Album] you gave me.]
[[Qin Frog] Favorability 40]
[[Qin Frog] Current Favorability -96]
The favorability has shrunk! It's finally back to -100!
Qinwa held the photo album in his hands, still with a pair of dead fish eyes as if he didn't care about anything, and turned the pages of the album one by one, just like flipping through an unimportant book in a bookstore that he could put aside at any time, but his favorability exposed his true feelings.
For players, the photo album is too small, and Hojo Natsuki can only see blurry blocks of color on it.
He felt a little regretful and really wanted to see what the little frog looked like.
System: [Ding! Congratulations on unlocking the double-sided postcard—[Qinwa Childhood·Old Port Memories]! ]
Hojo Natsuki's eyes suddenly lit up.
There are little frogs to watch!! Yay!!
System: [The double-sided postcard is different from the ordinary postcard sent by Qinwa. Please go to [Planet Flip·Limited Mail Receipt] to check.]
Hojo Natsuki wondered what this thing was, and after a few seconds he struggled to dig out a shadow from his memory: Oh, it was one of the functions that the other party paid compensation for when he complained to the customer service about the limited number of chats on the communication APP. It was said that it should have been unlocked at Lv5.
He searched hard for a while before he found the so-called [Limited Receiving] function in the mobile interface of the communication app.
[Qinwa Childhood·Jiugang Return
Memory
[Do you want to check? [Y/N]]
Yes!!
Then, an extremely exquisite card rotation effect appeared. It was indeed a double-sided postcard. The front was covered with a layer of light white, and the back was a mysterious black, which made Hojo Natsuki even more excited.
The white side fell to the ground first, facing the screen.
Little frog... Hehe... Cute little frog...
When it was young, the frog must have had a stinky face. It ate a lollipop like a cigarette... So cute...
Then, Hojo Natsuki's smile froze immediately.
On the card, there is a black tadpole with silver hair.
Hojo Natsuki: “????”
!!!!!!!!!
The childhood of the lyre frog was a lyre tadpole? Huh? ? ? This is crazy!!
Xia Shu closed his eyes and took a breath with difficulty. He took a few deep breaths, but he couldn't hold back the tightness in his chest. He cursed, "Stupid game! Are you sick?!"
