Out of his extremely confident belief that "the frog has me in its heart", Hojo Natsuki poked it a few more times. The frog still did not resist at all, but its pair of inverted triangle eyes looked very gloomy. If it had a machine gun in its hand, it might have shot at everyone present to vent its anger.
But the frog's expression is always between a poker face and a coffin face, except for 'I'm unhappy' or 'I'm very unhappy so go to hell', so Hojo Natsuki didn't notice any big difference from usual.
It was not until he found that the frog did not give any additional response and seemed to be a little uninterested, so he went home to collect some clovers in the yard, that the system message that was temporarily blocked in the [Stoka] state flashed again.
Hojo Natsuki originally thought that he would see some tips like "The Frog really likes your gift, favorability 10", "You and the Frog stick together, favorability 5", and he had already put on a smile of determination on his face, but the result was...
[[Frog] resists your touch, favorability -1]
[[Qinwa] Hates your touch, favorability -1]
[[Qinwa] Your touch makes my scalp numb, favorability -2]
[[Qin Frog] Angry enough to want to kill someone, Favorability -5]
[[Qinwa] thinks you planned everything and deliberately made things difficult for it outside to embarrass it, favorability -10]
[[Qin Frog] Current Favorability -150]
Hojo Natsuki: “…”
What? It's going down instead of up?! -
150!
how so
A series of reports of losing favorability knocked him unconscious. Hojo Natsuki's smile suddenly disappeared and he began to think about why things turned out like this.
The plot of the game must have its underlying logic. Of course, at the moment it seems that this game is just trying to use the rebellious Frog to cheat money. The frog doesn't look like a frog at all, but instead acts like a middle school boy.
On second thought, if we treat the frog as a human, this matter will be much easier to understand. Its psychology, action reactions and changes in favorability are also consistent with the image of the character. Based on this analysis, the reason for the misunderstanding between the two parties is that they have not communicated effectively.
Maybe this game doesn't have such advanced design at all, and it just wants to force players to spend money for their son.
Naturally, Hojo Natsuki's gaze shifted to the mall communication section again.
[This game’s exclusive communication APP]
[Introduction: Make calls, send text messages, unlock video calls when the favorability reaches the standard, and more features are waiting for you to explore]
[What's wrong with the dimensional wall? Can't we chat across the dimensional wall?]
[Price: 880,000 clover]
This is 880,000 clovers. The clover field that comes with the game home alone can only produce less than 200 grasses a day, even if it is harvested in time and not a minute of growing time is wasted. This price tag is blatantly forcing you to spend money.
Hojo Natsuki was very hesitant, not because of the amount, but because he had just recently reaffirmed his determination not to spend money on this unfortunate kid, and it seemed a bit too quick for him to be slapped in the face.
Fortunately, he never made things difficult for himself over such trivial matters, and within a few seconds, his curiosity of "wanting to communicate with the frog" overturned all his previous psychological preparations, and he swaggered to the top.
Regardless, just spend money. Isn’t the point of playing games to have fun? Isn’t it natural to spend money for emotional value
Recharge, purchase Clover, and confirm the order [this game’s exclusive communication APP].
[Ding Dong! The [exclusive communication APP] you ordered has been shipped~ Start chatting with your Guagua~]
A mobile phone icon appears in the lower left corner of the interface. Click on it and you will see that the interface is very similar to the Line used in real life, except that there is only one name "Gin" in the contact list, which is the full name of Qinwa. Qinwa's chat avatar is the portrait that appears when you draw a card. It is a Gugua wearing a black top hat and with long hair mopping the ground, holding a cigarette in its paw.
[Please set your personal information]
The name continues to be Natsuki; for the avatar, just pick an emoji from the gallery... this snow-white puppy with stripes is fine, it's quite cute.
[Natsuki]：hi
no respond.
The other party maintained his usual aloof and cool demeanor.
[Natsuki]：Gin, are you there
[Natsuki]：Hello~!
No news.
Frozen.
Qinwa, you... don't reply to messages at all, right? Or does Guagua never reply to messages
Hojo Natsuki thought of a possibility and suddenly began to doubt his own IQ.
He heard a joke at a drinking party a few days ago. A Chinese businessman spent a lot of money to buy "Huluwa" on Amazon out of curiosity. The merchant sent an empty express box with nothing in it. The businessman angrily demanded an explanation. The merchant said: "This is Liuwa, so it can be invisible."
Due to cultural differences, Xia Shu only half understood what was said when he heard it and just laughed politely along with everyone else. But now he can understand this feeling.
This crappy game keeps urging him to buy the communication software, but given the frog's personality, it would be strange if it would reply to the message, right
—This is your difficult and cool weird frog, so it won’t look at its phone.
Haha, 880,000 clovers were wasted!
The system pops up a message bar: [The Qin frog is back]
A familiar little figure came in from the door, sat down at the table and thought about his life, looking very upset.
Hojo Natsuki was also in a bad mood: I am stupid [beep—], I was so dumb that I spent so much money on this stupid game.
A note popped up next to the mobile phone icon in the lower left corner.
[Qinfrog's Wish List]
[Satisfying Gua Gua's wish will help improve the relationship~]
[Beretta]
[Sniper Rifle. Gun]
[To be unlocked]…
It's actually a serial fraud. They got nothing with the 880,000 clover leaves. Now they are planning to trick players into buying expensive weapons from the mall, right
Hojo Natsuki sneered, thinking to himself that this stupid [beep—] game was ruining people, and immediately placed an order for [Beret].
Beau Retta fell as usual and lay quietly in the middle of the table.
The frog was stunned for a moment, then took the gun and looked at it, using its simple paws to make delicate movements like "stroking the gun barrel". It observed and played with it for a long time, dismantled the magazine, and put it back again, unable to let it go.
It's not treated like food at all.
[[Qinwa] hates you, but really likes the [Beretta] you gave him, favorability 10]
[[Qin Frog] Current Favorability -140]
Hojo Natsuki: “!!”
How could it be so easy? How much does it love guns? Why would a frog like guns
Taking this opportunity, he struck while the iron was hot and sent another message to Qinwa: [I bought you a bottle of Beth Leta]
[Do you want a sniper rifle? ]
Kurosawa Jin was almost annoyed to death by that guy.
If he was just harassed at home, it would be acceptable, but the other party actually went so far as to follow him out of the house.
He was sitting in a coffee shop pretending to be a student doing homework and observing his target. The man conjured up an amulet in public and deliberately touched him a few times, trying to make him lose his composure.
Kurosawa put away the amulet and tried hard to ignore the other person's touch; as he expected, seeing no reaction from him, the man felt bored and left.
—Just don’t look at me.
Despite being angry, Kurosawa Jin took a few deep breaths, trying to expel the anger from his internal organs so that he could focus on the important things.
He was thinking about how to kill his target Hamano, although at the moment he wanted to shoot the boss of the Izumi-kai in the head more.
After tracking and observing for a period of time, Kurosawa Jin judged that the man was quite cautious, and even if the sneak attack could be successful, it would be difficult to be fatal; Hamano was an adult man in his early thirties whose physical fitness was at its golden age. He was only fourteen years old, so it was also unlikely for him to gain the upper hand in close combat.
There are organizational companions behind the other party, and this
This assassination mission can only be completed by him alone.
He was at a disadvantage in all aspects, but fortunately there was still one and a half months left in the mission deadline, so he still had time to find a solution.
It would be nice to have a sniper rifle, or a handy pistol. The boss of the Izumi Clan was afraid that his subordinates would betray him, so he was very stingy in allocating weapons. He was even like this to his personal guards, not to mention the members below.
The task is difficult and the conditions are limited...
The cafe closed and Kurosawa returned home, still sitting at the table with his head down, thinking about countermeasures.
Something suddenly appeared on the desktop.
He had become accustomed to ignoring the noise made by 'that person' and raised his hand to throw away the food he had prepared, but when he saw that it was a brand new Beretta M92F, his movements suddenly froze.
His curiosity and desire for guns easily overcame his resistance. Kurosawa Jin looked at it for a while and confirmed that it was a real gun. He opened it and saw that the magazine was filled with the standard 9mm Parabellum pistol bullets.
The phone in my pocket vibrated slightly.
Kurosawa still uses a flip phone without a touch screen function. Due to the limitation of technology level, the latest smart phones on the market are only resistive screen phones that can be used with a stylus. Therefore, the screen resolution of his phone is not even close to the word "high".
The communication app on Natsuki's screen is Line, but on Kurosawa's screen it is just a text message sending interface with a blurry avatar.
He saw a recipient named [Natsuki], whose avatar was a blurry white puppy, who had sent him several messages.
[Natsuki]：hi
[Natsuki]：Gin, are you there
[Natsuki]：Hello~!
I just received it and thought it was a prank from someone, but now it's...
[Natsuki]: I bought you a Chibo Raita
[Natsuki]: Do you want a sniper rifle
'That person' was communicating with him via text messages.
Kurosawa Jin didn't believe that there were any free benefits in this world. He put down Beauletta and typed: [What do you want me to do for you? ]
The man had something to ask of him, so he offered what he wanted to show his good will. Although he didn't know how the other party knew his wish, he felt a little less uncomfortable because it was a help based on a transaction. Kurosawa Jin believed that only the exchange of interests was eternal.
The text message was sent, and on the interface, the dialog box representing him was only a lonely bubble on the right, without any avatar.
On the left side of the interface, next to the snow-white puppy, a line pops up: [The other party is typing... ].
[Natsuki]：Yes, that’s right.
[Natsuki]: There is one thing that only you can do
Kurosawa Jin lowered his eyes and waited for the man to make an offer.
If the other party is generous enough to give out a hot weapon, then the request must be very serious...
[Natsuki]: Um, can you let me touch your paw
[Natsuki]：Please, I'm really curious.
Kurosawa Jin: “.”
Kurosawa Jin: “… … …”
