Apocalypse: System of lotteries

Chapter 203 One-On-One Or A Group Fight?

[Your little frogs think that the huge figure looks like a person...]

[Your little frogs are shocked... They watch as Little Pink pig rushes forward, keeps a proper distance, turns around, and raises its butt... The frogs hear a loud bang... A thick cloud of green smoke bursts out, causing the figure to stagger...]

[The little frogs look at each other... then look at Little Pink gracefully walking back... They look at each other again... croak once, "nice fart!!!"]

"…"

Ming and Lavia stood outside the tent, watching the figure engulfed in green smoke not far away. The figure coughed with a hand over their throat and stumbled to the ground.

"I forgot to mention, my Little Pink has this ability ."

Ming pinched his nose, "Quite powerful~"

"That's a person, right?"

"It looks like a person…"

A minute later, Ming and Lavia carried the person into the tent.

"We need to perform artificial respiration…" Lavia said firmly.

Ming nodded, "You do it, I don't know how."

"…"

Lavia looked up as if to say he didn't know how either.

"I have an idea." Ming took out a Refreshing Peony, pulled off the person's face cloth, and saw yellow hair surrounding the person's facial features. Regardless, Ming quickly placed the flower under the person's nose and pinched their philtrum.

Huh? Why does this person look a bit familiar?

Ming used his eagle eye to inspect:

Desmond—33rd level Vanguard—Mutated Gene [Tree Climbing Expert].

Desmond?

Ming suddenly remembered, this was the guy he met in the bat cave when they took shelter from the rain, the one who was bitten by monkeys. It was such a coincidence that they met again.

[The little frogs squatted next to Little Pink, telling it how strong it is and suggesting that they should become good friends... Little Pink looked at the little frogs with somewhat gentler and shy eyes... You guys don't mind?]

[Da Vinci looked up and told Little Pink that it was indeed shocking just now... but it was a special ability... other than the strong smell, there's no other problem~]

[Foodie nodded its head, seriously looking at Little Pink, those who despise you can't even fart as big as you can... Little Pink's body instantly turned red... It stretched out its tongue and licked the two little frogs...]

"…"

Although Ming was speechless, he felt it was a warm scene. This was the process of establishing the purest friendship between them. However, you guys were thinking about eating Little Pink just a moment ago, right?

Cough cough~

The person lying on the wooden table suddenly coughed, green smoke pouring out of his mouth and nose, forming rings of smoke... slowly rising into the air...

Ming and Lavia, along with the three little creatures, all widened their eyes at the same time.

This was truly miraculous!

"Cough cough~... Cough cough... Am I dead?" Desmond, with smoke rings coming out of his mouth, looked at the laughing Ming.

"Rest assured, there's no sign of death for now~" Ming helped him up and handed him a cracked-open coconut, "Here, drink some water first."

Glug glug~ cough cough~ cough cough cough~ Desmond choked and sprayed water and smoke out...

[Your Foodie rubbed against Little Pink, see, your ability is strong, while we little frogs can't do that...]

[Da Vinci nodded in agreement, and it even caused mental harm... Little Pink's body turned red again, and it licked its two new friends once more... The little frogs looked at you, Ming, and kissed again~ kissed again~ Did you see it~?]

"…"

Ming looked at Lavia, who quickly took out 3 boxes of beef rolls and handed them to Desmond, "Sorry about that, it was my Little Pink pig fault. Consider this an apology."

"It's okay~ it's okay. If you're a friend of Gutman, you're a friend of mine." Desmond put the 3 boxes of beef rolls into his inventory, "To be honest, I'm still a bit dizzy right now."

"Come on, let's eat some more."

"Sure, sure~"

"Sit down, sit down~"

The three of them sat around the cooking pot, eating and chatting.

"How long have you been here?"

"About twenty minutes or so, and you?"

"I've been walking around for half an hour, didn't find any mutated creatures or anything. But I found something good on the other side of the mountain."

As Desmond spoke, he took out a fist-sized stone that emitted a faint pale blue glow.

"Let me see~"

Ming took the stone, feeling a cool and refreshing sensation when he touched it. Unlike the sky blue of the spirit stone, this stone had a more water-blue color.

Eagle Eye Inspection:

[Water Elemental Stone: Special Material - 10 Units]

"Nice find~"

After Ming said that, he handed it back to Desmond, who hurriedly accepted it and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I only found this one on the hillside over there. I was looking for more when I saw you guys..."

Desmond glanced at Little Pink Pig, still remembering the impact from before.

"After we finish eating, let's go look for more together."

"Alright, let's stick to the usual rules..."

"Sure~"

The three continued eating as Desmond explained to Lavia what the 'usual rules' were.

[Your froglets jumped onto Little Pink's back, burrowing into the long mane on its neck. Although the hair was a bit stiff, the froglets still felt warm... Little Pink was also very happy...]

[Da Vinci directed the way, and Little Pink sped up its running... foodie stretched its head out, enjoying the cold wind whistling over its head... It's exhilarating~]

"They seem quite happy."

Ming curved his lips.

"Is it true that you guys built a Well  in Zone 109?" Desmond asked.

"How did you know that?"

Ming paused for a moment, wondering if David had already started selling the design blueprints.

"David, the great philanthropist in your zone, is selling blueprints at a discount price. It's said to be very useful for shared monsters. Our zone has bought it, and we're now collecting resources to build it."

"!!"

Great philanthropist?

Shameless! Swindler!! But, at least there will be some money to split when I go back~

"But there's also a luxury version, which is more expensive. Our zone decided to try the regular version first, and if it's useful, we'll buy the luxury blueprint." Desmond took a bite of the beef roll.

"Luxury version?" Ming touched his nose... This cunning little businessman~

"Gutmann, what happened to your left hand?"

"Got pinched by a door, don't mention it. Let's have a toast."

[Your froglets and Little Pink stood on a huge boulder in the wasteland, looking into the distance... Foodie complained that the place was too desolate, with nothing but stones and snow...]

[Da Vinci asked Foodie if it had had any dreams lately... Foodie shook its head, saying that it had been eating too well recently and slept soundly until dawn, with no time to dream...]

"Hmm?"

Ming felt it was necessary to make a change for Foodie's dreams, so he decided to have it eat more simply and go vegetarian from now on.

[Foodie became alert and told Da Vinci and Little Pink that a tall figure appeared on their left... The figure was approaching them...]

[Foodie saw the figure standing not far away, staring at them... With a tall body covered in brown fur, it sometimes walked upright like a human and sometimes moved on all fours while sniffing the ground...]

[Da Vinci was on guard, and Little Pink was preparing itself...]

"Something's happening!" Lavia and Ming stood up at the same time.

Lavia said, "My Little Pink has encountered an unusual beast."

"Let's go!" The three of them ran out of the tent together.

[Your Foodie jumped down to the ground and squatted in front of Little Pink, indicating that it was its turn to perform... It looked back at Little Pink, telling it to hold back for now... Little Pink nodded, alright...]

[Your Da Vinci asked Little Pink if it could hold back, and Little Pink nodded, saying it could...]

[Your Foodie activated its fighting spirit... Gazing at the towering figure in front of it, it croaked once... One-on-one or a group fight...]
