"Is this Momonosuke?" Qin Shou rubbed his eyes and confirmed again. The "object" looked like a big can, but it had eyes and ears, and its facial expression was very wonderful. The saliva was rippling around his mouth, and he looked like he was playing tricks.

Like.

"Congratulations, you answered correctly..." Before Li Nuo could finish the last word, he noticed a pair of eyes staring at him at the door, with a hidden murderous intent that would turn him into coke.

Let's go back in time.

When talking with the elder that day, Momonosuke was "invited".

"I said...what's going on with this guy?" Li Nuo stared at the elder with dead eyes.

"It is the cat with the best cooking skills in the guild right now. I think it is even better than the chief chef," the elder said.

"It was originally the El Cat in our team."

"Oh ~ fate."

"Fate, you big-headed devil!" Li Nuo shouted: "This piece of shit is as good as yours!"

The elder was furious and said, "Aren't you also peeping at the hot spring with your hands open? What right do you have to criticize me?"

This sentence silenced the scene, and both Li Nuo and the elder suddenly realized that they really had no right to accuse each other. None of them were... good birds...

"I have a merciless request." Li Nuo said: "This kid is not like other Elu cats. He can't do anything except being a bitch. And I'm afraid that I won't be able to resist the desire to whip him, so is there any way to make him

It can't move, it can move when you carry it."

"Meow!" Momonosuke exclaimed and was about to run away when Li Nuo held him down.

The elder said: "It is originally the Ellu cat in the kitchen. It is normal that it will not assist in hunting."

"Then why did this guy come out during the audition?"

"...Maybe it's a string of events."

"...Did you buy your elder's official position?"

"Anyway..." the elder coughed lightly and said seriously: "This is your own business, I don't care, and be nice to Ellu cats. They and hunters complement each other..."

"A physical portrait." Li Nuo interrupted him, took out a pen and paper while holding Eluma in his arms, drew two S-shaped lines, and clicked on two points. The lines were soft, clean, yet full of temptation, and could be seen at a glance.

It was done by a professional, "I'll give you a sketch the size of a photo frame when it's done."

The elder frowned slightly, then raised the corner of his mouth, "Deal!"

Time turns back to the present.

"That's it?" Qin Shou marveled at the inside story of the transaction between Li Nuo and the elder.

"That's it." Li Nuo rubbed the raised lump on his head, "The elders and I fed it about dozens of pieces of [Paralysis Raw Meat] and [Sleep Raw Meat], as well as ten bottles of [Cold Drink], and finally it

It has become a portable object.”

Cha Bai: "Shameless."

Jelika: "There is no lower limit."

Qin Shou: "[Beep——] thing."

Deng Yuanzhou: "Fuck."

"Cha Bai and Jelika said that's all I wanted to do, why did you two join in the fun..." Li Nuo said angrily: "Don't you think our team has become much quieter after Momonosuke disappeared!?"

Marjie said: "Humph, you, a voyeur and thief, have no right to slander a cat."

"It's not what you seem! I'm just a faggot in order to build up my image, and my conscience is drowned in shit, isn't it!?"

Chabai took the recovery medicine and poured it into Momonosuke's mouth. With a weak "meow", the guy came back to life.

Then it shook its head and glanced at everyone in the room with its pitiful eyes. When it stopped on Li Nuo, the anger in its eyes increased sharply. It jumped up and rushed over, scratching wildly with its two claws, and blood spurted on the scene.

It's terrible to watch, but it's so satisfying.

After playing and having fun, we still have to do what needs to be done.

Li Nuo held the white electric dragon's meat in his mouth, gave the hotel owner a [Seal of Yaksi], and borrowed the kitchen while the owner was demented.

Then it was time for Momonosuke to show his role.

It put on the [Chef Sleeves], and the moment it picked up the kitchen knife, its expression suddenly changed. The wretched and unbeatable look disappeared like misty smoke. Its face was resolute, its starry eyes were upright, and its droopy ears stood up, white and white.

The black spots on the hair seemed to be emitting a special glow at this moment.

Peeling and deboning, slicing and slicing, the kitchen knife seems to be given life in its hand.

Season the soup and make it. The spoon is like a gentle girl, playing in the soup.

The kitchen, which was originally full of stinky smells, was filled with a refreshing aroma.

After a while, everyone who was driven back to the bedroom was waiting. The door opened and Momonosuke walked in while pushing the dining car.

There are six plates in total, all covered with pot lids.

Momonosuke carefully distributed each plate to everyone's hands. He lifted the lid of the pot and a dazzling golden light shot straight to the roof.

Everyone’s eyes were almost blinded by the flash. This was not an illusion, there was real light!

When the light fades, you will see that everyone's dishes are different.

The tender and juicy pan-fried pork chop, the fragrant dragon meat macaroni, and the refreshing and refreshing dragon meat sashimi. Except for Cha Bai, the artificial man who didn't need to eat, everyone was already hungry, so they looked at the delicious-looking food without thinking.

into the mouth.

Then……

Li Nuo's eyes changed when he looked at Momonosuke. Fortunately, this guy was a pervert. If he was a little ambitious, he might be able to conquer the world.

The meat of the white electric dragon will be a high-end food with a good taste after removing the viscous liquid. However, the meat is also very greasy because the fat is extremely thick. However, after Momonosuke's cooking, the greasiness almost disappeared, but it remained

It has a unique fragrance.

Even Cha Bai, who doesn't eat meat, was moved by this delicacy.

In the world of "Monster Hunter", there is a supplement called cat rice, which is rice cooked by cats. Food with various effects can be produced through different combinations of ingredients.

In this world, the role of cat rice is extremely important. It can increase energy and blood, or strengthen attack and defense, or enhance other types of buffs for players.

However, cat rice also has a time limit. Judging from the results of this consumption, the time range is within one hour.

In short, using Momonosuke can help players increase their error tolerance in their future journeys.

"After you've eaten and drank, can we talk about business?" Marger looked at Jelika.

Just when she was about to open her mouth to speak, Li Nuo stopped her again.

He pulled Qin Shou and Deng Yuanzhou together and whispered: "You two, before Jielica says something, you two must think about something."

"...If you have something to say, just say it, okay?" Qin Shou urged.

Li Nuo said: "What she is going to say will definitely trigger a branch. If we fail to complete it, 500 gold coins will be deducted. Can you accept this denomination?"

"Is this what you were worried about?" Deng Yuanzhou sighed after hearing this: "I didn't expect Brother Li to think so much about us."

"No, Brother Zhou...he must have his own little Jiujiu..." Qin Shou interrupted.

"You're right, 500 gold coins is really hard to afford, but..." Deng Yuanzhou glanced at Jie LiKa, who was sitting beside the bed, and laughed softly: "Miss Jie is a very nice person, I can't see her."

Don't you want to help if you have trouble? And brother Li, don't worry. If the problem of the branch line is beyond our tolerance, you can put down the burden and go to the ancient pagoda first. Xiao Qin and I have no objection."

As a middle-aged man who has been involved in society for decades, he can see Li Nuo's thoughts at a glance.

Although Deng Yuanzhou seems careless, he is actually very thoughtful. He is used to treating and understanding others with his heart, and always puts his own position last. This kind of person is sometimes brilliant and sometimes just a fool.

Especially in a place like the "Endless Corridor", the intrigues among players are more tragic than reality. Sooner or later, his mentality will harm himself, but fortunately, most of the players in this script are not normal.

A strange look flashed across Li Nuo's expression, and he whispered: "If the branch line fails, I will replenish you with gold coins."

After he finished speaking, before Deng Yuanzhou and Qin Shou could speak, he turned around and said to Jelika: "Please tell me, Long Cao Cavalry, Miss Jelika."

Jelika closed her eyes, then opened them in an instant and said, "I am indeed the dragoon you call me, but... some things are different from what you imagined."

"Let's get straight to the point." Li Nuo said.

He knew early on that there was something wrong with Jelika. That night, the girl opened her mouth and analyzed that they were going east. No... that was not analysis, but inducement, the inducement of a group of "thieves", making them think that they were going east.

To the west is safety and danger, but in fact, it's just the opposite.

On the dragon's back, Jelica patted the fire dragon and called out "this child". Let's not talk about whether normal people would call the fire dragon a child, but based on the tone and state, she must have been exposed to these monsters. A reception

Member, how do you have the opportunity to often come into contact with ferocious dragons and still live well until now?

Finally, when Deng Yuanzhou marveled that she was not afraid of the fire dragon, Jelika's ridiculous answer almost clearly told Li Nuo that she was lying, because the hunter school... there is no such school in this world.

If it had happened, Li Nuo would have exposed it on the spot and found a branch line, but it would be the same as Cha Bai's evaluation of him.

He is sometimes too "worrying".

"Then... please let me reintroduce myself." Jelika said seriously: "My real name is Jelika. Before I became a receptionist, I was just a... rider from a small village on the east coast who could communicate with dragons.

.”

"Rider?" Qin Shou wondered, "Isn't it called Long Cao Cavalry?"

"Let her finish." Li Nuo made a gesture of invitation toward Jelika.

Jelica continued: "Dragon Cavalry is what the outside world calls us. Almost everyone thinks that getting along with dragons is incomprehensible, but we ourselves don't think so. Coexisting and communicating with the 'monsters' you call us,

Even staying together for life is an ordinary thing in our opinion."

She stopped here and looked at everyone's reactions. Seeing that no one wanted to ask questions, she continued to tell her story.

"Actually, our existence is not a secret. The upper echelons of the Dorma Guild basically know about the riders. The location where the guild was established is dense in the west and sparse in the east. This is because we, the riders, manage the ecological balance of the 'monsters' on the east coast.

, but in order to prevent people with evil intentions from using the power of monsters to do evil, the guild hid this matter."

"It's just...just a month ago, the customs that have been passed down in the village for generations were broken."

She took out a purple spar from her pocket, the size of her palm, with a dull luster.

"This is the secret that allows us to communicate with dragons, [Bond Stone]. Those who are recognized as riders must challenge the test to release the power in the Bond Stone. After completing the test and meeting specific conditions, the power of the Bond Stone will

will gradually strengthen.

On the other hand, you can also form bonds with more ferocious 'monsters' and rarer 'monsters'.

Moreover, the power of the bonding stone can calm the "monster" that becomes violent for some reason to a certain extent.

But...for some 'monsters' who have been completely out of control due to excessive influence, it seems very reluctant."

When Jelika said this, a shadow appeared on her expression.

"After a strange earthquake in the earth's crust, the light of the [Bond Stone] dimmed, and we could no longer control the too ferocious 'monsters'. The creatures originally stationed around the village fell into an abnormality and lost the control of the [Bond Stone]. Our

The village... was attacked and destroyed in an instant by the most ferocious dragons. Only me and a few riders escaped, but apart from the dragons, we did not have the weapons and armor of the guild that could fight against the ferocious dragons. If

Keep going...sooner or later everyone will die there."

Qin Shou asked: "Can't we just run to the west continent like you?"

Jelica shook her head, "We live with dragons and it is impossible to integrate into regular society, and the guild will not allow us to live in the west side."

"Why?"

Li Nuo said: "As a matter of interests, if there is no intervention from the dragon cavalry, the east side area will belong to the guild sooner or later. What's more, leading a group of dragons to open a new village in the mountain forest to live a life is too eye-catching, and sooner or later they will be discovered.

, then the riders in the guild area will only have two choices to make, either kill the dragon accompanying them, hand over the [Bond Stone], and live as ordinary people, or die in love with those dragons."

"That's it." Jelika kowtowed slightly, "We can't seek assistance in the normal way, and the guild will not accept our request, but ironically, we can only seek the help of hunters with stronger individual strength, so I and my

A companion came to the Dorma area together, and he went to Milldale further west. I stayed in the guild where I met you, hoping to find kind-hearted hunters to help us."

Li Nuo asked curiously: "What Banks said about a guild taming a flying dragon, was it your companion who did it?"

Jelica wrinkled her almond-shaped eyes and said thoughtfully: "Hmm... I don't know, it should be... but I don't know why he would do this."

Assimilated... Li Nuo cursed, but did not say the answer that would make Jelika instantly fall into sadness.

At this time, Marger asked: "Are the successive appearances of Dino Tyrannosaurus related to the fall of your village?"

After all, the number of individuals of Dino Tyrannosaurus is very rare. It should not be an accident to encounter two of them in different places.

"It's hard to say, but there are indeed several invading Dino Rex around the village that we have controlled."

Li Nuo's mind suddenly twitched when he heard this, and he thought to himself, "You guys are still brave... hoarding Dino Tyrannosaurus..."

"Okay, let's get back to the topic." Li Nuo said: "You have been planning to ask us to save the village since I brought the fire dragon back to the guild, right?"

"Please don't say it so harshly... It's not a plan..." Jelica pouted, "I know you are definitely not riders, and I can see that you are different from ordinary hunters, especially when you are sneaky at night.

... No... You walked away quietly and slowly, which made me more convinced that you couldn't be hunters. The large and small bags were more like... thieves... In addition, you didn't seem to know the area... so I thought

Guide everyone to the east."

"As long as your guidance is successful, even if we don't agree to your request, you can follow us to the east continent and find a way to 'cheat' us into the village halfway." Li Nuo interrupted her and added, "

Let me think about it... A girl chases a group of mysterious guys with unknown origins in the dark sky, and plans to reveal all her background. You are big-hearted... How can you be sure that we are not bad guys? Just [Bond Stone]

It’s enough to make ordinary people have evil intentions.”

Jelika smiled and looked into the tea-white, gray-blue eyes.

"If he were a bad person, he wouldn't have such clear eyes."

Chabai was stunned for a moment, feeling deeply uncomfortable with such praise.

Jelica looked at Li Nuo again and said: "What's more, you can develop a relationship with the fire dragon without the need for the [Bond Stone]. From this alone, I can be sure that Edward, you are by no means a vicious person."

No... you thought wrong... you don't know what happened that day... Qin Shouxu looked at her and felt that this sister really didn't have the ability to see people.

"Miss Jelica." Marger said, "Actually, my heart..."

"That's all I can say." Jelica quickly interrupted Marger, as if she didn't want to hear what he had to say.

"Everyone, can you help me and save the village?"

[Side mission has been triggered]

【Bond Stone】

[Experience value: 7000]

[Reward: Bond Stone]

Everyone's eyes widened slightly, 7000 experience points... what the hell is this...

Li Nuo took out the map and laid it directly on the bed.

"Point to me where your village is?"

Jelika walked over and pointed to the east side of the mainland not far from the coast.

"Our village is not on the map. It is probably located here. However, the village has never had a name. There is only a title specific to that location."

"what is it call?"

"Monster Coast."

Li Nuo opened his eyes wide and looked at Cha Bai who looked surprised at the same time.

Just when he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a sharp pain inside his stomach.

He frowned and crawled onto the bed in pain.

"What's wrong with Brother Li?" Deng Yuanzhou was the first to ask.

Li Nuo reluctantly waved his hand. His stomach hurt so much that he could hardly speak. Even after pain training, he could not bear the pain.

It's like...eating expired food that has been poisoned.

His pupils glanced at Momonosuke.

It suddenly dawned on me.

This cat has something wrong with its eyes...

"It's true...every cause must have its effect..."

After muttering something in his mouth, Li Nuo immediately ran to the toilet.

He did not appear again until dinner.
