Gao Fei, who was watching the battle from the side, couldn't help but urge him.
Jiang Feng held the sword in his left hand, and his left hand glowed slightly - it was full of positive energy.
She was mentally prepared to be bitten by the ghost dog and planned to heal herself.
Since he wasn't bitten, it stands to reason that he should use his rapier to fight back. Killing the ghost dog's HP by 3 points will complete the mission.
The rapier is her "god-given weapon". It has an advantage in attack, and the damage can be modified by perception. As long as it stabs the ghost dog, the damage will definitely exceed the minimum limit required to complete the task.
I don’t know if he was using his brain too much and was overloaded. The moment Comrade Xiao Jiang was about to draw his sword, his brain suddenly became hot and another "good idea" came to his mind.
She decided to attack with her off-hand instead.
Punch, kick and kick are all attacks with natural weapons, and they can also be used as off-hand weapons in "two-weapon fighting".
In fact, she brought the monk's fighting routine into this new profession.
However, the problem is that "Temple" is not a monk profession, and the damage die for unarmed attacks is only a pitiful 1d3.
Jiang Feng thought it didn't matter.
The positive energy filled in his palms can both heal living creatures and inflict 1d6 points of radiant damage to undead creatures.
Unarmed strikes are 1d3, and positive energy touches are 1d6. Unless luck is extremely bad, the sum of the two items will never be less than 3 points.
Her calculation was quite good, but unfortunately she forgot that she was not a monk now and was no longer skilled in unarmed combat.
If you are not good at hand-to-hand combat and you forcefully punch someone, what will happen?
Of course it's a wave of "attacks of opportunity"!
When he saw his girlfriend punching the ghost dog, Gao Fei was stunned!
"No...my dear classmate Jiang, is there nothing wrong with your little head? What kind of cooking operation is this!"
Before he finished speaking, the ghost dog on the opposite side bit him first.
hp-8!
System prompt: You are subject to the necrotic curse, you failed the Fortitude save DC14, and your upper limit of health is reduced by 8 points!
Jiang Feng's face froze, and then he realized that he had almost screwed up.
He reluctantly pretended to be nonchalant, endured the pain caused by the negative energy corroding his flesh and blood, gritted his teeth, and punched the ghost dog in the head with all his strength.
Fortunately, the punch hit successfully.
hp-2!
hp-3!
Two damage numbers appeared one after another from the ghost dog's head.
System prompt: You successfully passed the challenge, tamed the irritable ghost dog Bernie, and gained 200 experience points!
…
"Hoo ho! It's so dangerous..."
Jiang Feng wiped his sweat and quickly applied "Spontaneous Medical Treatment" on himself to restore his health and remove the necrotic curse.
"It's such a dangerous situation, you're not asking for it!"
Gao Fei couldn't help but complain.
"You can obviously do something with a sword, but you insist on touching it with your hands, and you almost capsized the boat!"
"Oh! I just started playing a new profession! I unconsciously thought of myself as a monk..."
Jiang Feng defended awkwardly.
Gao Fei sighed and continued: "When I first saw you getting into the cabin, releasing the 'Dancing Light Technique', and pouring holy water on the door, I thought that your mind was enlightened and you suddenly became smarter, but I didn't expect it in a blink of an eye.
My IQ is off the line... Alas, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment."
"Hey! With my brain, if I occasionally have a flash of inspiration and perform at a super level, I must make up for it through a wave of cooking operations and return to the mean. What on earth are you expecting?!"
Jiang Feng asked angrily.
"Indeed, it would be nice to have some surprises or scares once in a while to change things up a bit."
Gao Fei shrugged and switched the perspective back to the game.
After Louise defeats the ghost dog, a cutscene follows.
"Bernie, your soul refuses to ascend to heaven and remains in this garden. Do you still have any unfulfilled wishes?"
Louise asked the ghost dog softly.
Bernie nodded very humanely, floated to the corner of the wooden house, raised his front paws, and pointed at a slightly warped wooden board on the wall.
Louise removed the movable board and soon discovered the box hidden in the hole in the wall.
When I took it out and took a look, there was an envelope covered in dust and yellow on the lid. It looked like it was old.
With curiosity in her eyes, the girl first used her professional ability to check the box and made sure there was no mechanism installed. Then she opened the lid and found several toys inside.
"Strange, who put these toys here?"
Louise muttered to herself, opened the envelope, and a line of childish text came into view.
…
Hello!
Dear stranger, this is my letter to you.
…
After reading this letter, Louise realized that the toy was left by the young master of the Wayne family, the previous owner of this mansion, and she couldn't help but be deeply moved by the sadness expressed by the young man in the letter.
Through Roger Wayne's confession in this letter, Louise learned that when the boy moved, Bernie, the hound who had grown up with him, was killed by the new owner of the mansion - Louise's grandmother.
— Bought them all together.
Before leaving, the boy asked Bernie to take care of the toys stored in the hole in the wall.
For seven years, Bernie has been looking forward to his little master's return.
Although he could not see Roger again until his death, the loyal hound always obeyed his little master's instructions, and even if he became a ghost after death, he would continue to guard this humble treasure.
Louise put down the yellowed letter, her eyes slightly moist.
She turned to look at the ghost dog, stroked its unrealistic mane, and said emotionally: "Bernie, you are a loyal and great defender!"
"Rest in peace, my dear Bernie, I will take over your position and guard this treasure."
"Bernie, I also want to write back to your former master, Mr. Roger Wayne, and tell him that you lived up to his trust until your death."
The ghost dog seemed to understand the girl's promise, and nodded happily, and the black mist-like figure slowly disappeared from her eyes.
At the same time, Jiang Feng received a system prompt and learned that he had completed the main task of "Saving Bernie the Ghost Dog" and received 100 experience points as a reward.
Plus the 200 experience points she got from defeating the ghost dog before, it's just enough for her to level up.
The plot of this chapter is not over yet.
Next, Louise has to reply to a letter from Bernie's former owner, Roger Wayne.
Judging from the address on the old envelope, Roger moved seven years ago, when he was only ten years old.
Rogge revealed in the letter that he was going to a boarding school in Binhai City.
Louise had heard about that school. It seemed to be a public welfare institution affiliated with the Holy Light Church. Only poor children and orphans who could not afford the tuition would attend that kind of school.
Logically speaking, a wealthy daughter like Louise has no chance to contact the lower class of society, nor does she understand the way of life of the poor.
Fortunately, she had an uncle who was a priest in Binhai City and was enthusiastic about public welfare. He often told her about slums and boarding schools.
