Perhaps the system helped lengthen the lead time for the explosion, resulting in reduced rewards. In the Shinkansen mission, Shiraishi only offered 200,000 yen.
After all, it was less than four thousand per person... But at least he saved himself, no loss, no loss. Shiraishi sighed silently and clicked on the next item:
[Broken cocoon (incomplete)]
【Limited time 00:04:59】
Shiraishi looked at the extra icons in his backpack and felt that this pattern was particularly familiar.
When I clicked on the description again, it looked even more familiar:
[[Special] Breaking the cocoon (limited time)]
[Type: Consumables]
[Use: Significantly increase the reward of the next task]
[Remarks: The high-end items were knocked*^#... worn out and fell off the corners. They were picked up by a thrifty and thrifty employee and put into the prize pool. After being taken out of the prize pool, it will be lost due to the passage of time.
It gradually loses its effect, please use it as soon as possible]
"..." Although I don't know what happened, the high-end items look so miserable...
It is clearly stated in the usage, "next task", so Shiraishi no longer has to worry about which one to choose.
After clicking to use it, he clicked to receive the reward with some curiosity. He saw the font in the task box scrolling, and finally settled on:
【Broken cocoon (less incomplete)】
【Limited time 00:04:59】
"...?"
Shiraishi couldn't help but glance at the Q version assistant in the corner who was secretly staring out, suspecting that this guy had some conspiracy.
However, what he received was a reward, not a punishment. No matter how many stacks were made, he would not lose money.
Thinking this, Shiraishi slowly raised his hand and cautiously poked at the last completed task.
The text in "[]" begins to scroll up and down again.
Before they could freeze, Piu next to him fired a mini salute. The salute crossed half of the parabola and exploded on the screen.
Shiraishi cast a suspicious glance towards the corner and saw the Q version assistant putting the salute gun on the ground, holding up a few ribbons that fell on her head, and began to applaud seriously.
It was only then that the scrolling taskbar finally stopped again:
But there is actually not text inside, but a Q version of the black cat icon.
"..." The bad premonition... increased.
…
Two minutes later, a black cat with a complicated expression appeared in front of the sink.
Although this new function forced Shiraishi to endure the scorching glare from the light screen, it seemed to be quite useful.
Having experienced the increase in augmentation rewards that have been augmented, this reward is very practical and solves to a certain extent the problem of the mask being unable to leave the main body too far.
After Mask is activated, there will be a black cat icon below the icon.
Through this, Shiraishi in the mask state can switch between human and cat. The cat form can be maintained for 3 hours, during which time the human form will not be consumed.
This means that the available vest time will increase to 3 hours and 33 minutes in the future - three hours for cats, plus 33 minutes for humans.
——That's right, I don't know when it started, this thing is 3 minutes too long.
After passing the test phase, every time when he first turned on Persona, Shiraishi was busy running around using the virtual state and had no time to check the countdown immediately. If he looked at it later, these three minutes would be easily ignored.
After discovering this fact today, Shiraishi was also curious about how the duration increased.
First of all, it can't be calculated based on the number of tasks he has done - that way it shouldn't be only 3 minutes.
Automatic evolution?
It's probably not that good.
The number of crystals he has obtained seems to be wrong. He has obtained four crystals in total.
The only things that can be related to the number "3" are the number of memory fragments he has consumed and the number of times he has entered the virtual world.
In the past, if I wanted to ask questions to the Q version assistant, I might not be able to knock out the person even if I typed on the screen for a long time.
But now, when he pressed his paw on the light screen, she ran out on her own in a short while, which was very easy to use. Soon, Shiraishi was sure that the answer was the former.
There are so many uses for things like memory fragments. When looking at the currency column, Shiraishi also saw a column dedicated to recording the points consumed by memory fragments, and he didn't know what the use was after recording it.
When acquiring new skills, it is customary to undergo a series of tests.
Shiraishi found that this new form was very similar to when he transformed into a cat in the virtual world - although he was in cat form, his sense of sight and smell were no different from those in human form, and his hearing was a little stronger.
There is no surprising increase in force value, and because Shiraishi is not willing to use the "upper teeth biting" talent skill, the combat effectiveness may be a little lower than that of ordinary cats...
However, there is definitely no situation where the cat cannot be beaten - he can run to a place where no one is around and turn into a human and beat him in the opposite direction.
The only regret is that this form cannot speak human words. Although the Q version assistant can still communicate with him strangely, no matter whether Shiraishi listens to him or shouts to passers-by, all he can hear is cat meows.
Finally, Shiraishi took a walk around the street in his new vest, and was not surprised to find that form transformation cannot be performed when someone is looking directly at him.
Smoke bombs and black cloth are indeed necessary, and the former is more convenient to carry. I don't know how the butterfly ninja's research is going.
…
After testing his skills, Shiraishi felt free again, and his life returned to his usual routine of picking up trash and looking for children.
Two days later, there was an additional activity on his class schedule—the Rex Band Dinner.
Finally it’s time to have dinner with Terahara Mari as planned... bah, it’s time for fans to meet their idols.
The time is marked as Sunday, which is tomorrow, but the start time of the task in the taskbar is this evening.
It seemed that if he wanted to prevent the murder, he had to make some preparations in advance. If I remember correctly, the person who was going to be killed this time was the handsome lead singer of the band.
[Rescue the infatuated idol who mistakenly used poisonous tongue skills x1
Save the Broken Broker x1]
[Start countdown 11:01:37]
[Recommended props:[Under production...]]
[Mission location: parking lot in front of Rex Studio, handbag in Terahara Mari’s car [map]]
The dining venue is in the city center, a bit far away from here, but not too far.
There is still more than half a day to open, so there is no need to rush there too early. Shiraishi first went to the nearby vegetable market, drug store and kitchenware store to buy some consumables for Butterfly Ninja.
In addition, because at Shiraishi's suggestion, she began to study smoke bombs across industries. Shiraishi also made a special trip to the chemical plant to find some things that might be useful.
After returning to the house, Shiraishi discovered that there were many more props behind the counter... and two pots that were secretly piled under the counter.
Of course, after Shiraishi issued a bunch of restrictions last time, these waste pots were also cleaned to avoid the remaining waste residue from causing a psychological shadow on the recyclers.
…
With two hours left before the mission started, Shiraishi followed the map and came to a busy building.
He had no impression of the name "Terahara Mari" at all.
However, "playing music", "venomous tongue and infatuated idol", plus the old photos of Mari Terahara... these key points added up, Shiraishi felt that he could do it again.
