Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 18: Players should at least dress like human beings.
[Ding! You have completed the mission: The Punisher of the Howling Cave.]

[Currently distributing quest rewards: The Lost Crown of the Cunning Monkey, 100 Experience Points]

[A physical reward has been detected. Do you want to claim the task reward immediately?]

Upon seeing the prompt, Chen Baiyu couldn't help but frown.

So focused on completing the mission, I forgot that this third-rate system doesn't even have the ability to store things in space.

Fortunately, these physical task rewards don't need to be claimed immediately; there's still an option to choose.

While thinking.

Chen Baiyu breathed a sigh of relief, stuffed the remaining noodles into his pocket, stood up, and dusted off his pants.

He looked up at the other side of the glass, where the five monkeys were still venting their pent-up anger, completely unaware that the instigator had quietly left.

The sunlight was still blinding, and the glare on the glass was so intense that it was hard to open one's eyes.

Chen Baiyu looked back at Monkey Mountain and suddenly felt that the "play" just now was like an absurd struggle between humans and animals.

He manipulated his opponent with his extraordinary reflexes, and the opponent's anger may have stemmed precisely from this incomprehensible "unfairness".

But unfairness is the norm in the world.

The fairest thing about this world is that it's actually unfair to everyone.

However, these thoughts only flashed through my mind.

He touched the noodles in his pocket, a light smile playing on his lips.

100 experience points gained, one step closer to level two. As for those monkeys who got angry?
No matter how unfair it is, it has nothing to do with him.

He is gradually acquiring the most fundamental essence of this world—power—and injustice will never befall him.

I glanced at the crowd in the distance.

With her sharp eyesight, Chen Baiyu instantly located her aunt and mother who were taking pictures of each other in front of the monkey mountain.

I saw my mom holding up her phone, directing my aunt to move half a step towards the artificial hill: "Move a little more to the left, so that the monkey can sit right on your shoulder."

The aunt adjusted her sunglasses, put one hand on her hip and made a peace sign with the other, her face crinkling with laughter: "This glass reflects so much light, you'd better make me look thinner in the photo."

Mom took two steps back, adjusted the angle of the camera, and suddenly shouted, "Don't move! Keep that pose, that little monkey is looking at the camera!"

With a "click," the aunt rushed over to take a look: "Oh dear, look at my hair, it's a mess! Take another picture, I'll change my pose."

As she spoke, she straightened her sideburns, turned around, and opened her arms to the monkeys reflected in the glass. Her mother, holding her phone, stepped back a little, muttering, "Okay, okay, this one will definitely work."

The two seemed to be having a great time taking pictures.

He didn't interfere much.

They then headed to a place a little further away.

Chen Baiyu couldn't wait to see what exactly the "Lost Crown of the Cunning Monkey" was.

Could it be the kind of equipment from a game?
What will it look like?
What are its specific special features?
As he pondered, he came to the vicinity of a small stream.

After finding that there was no one around and no cameras were found.

He then opened the system to confirm and claim the task reward.

[Confirm receipt.]

As soon as Chen Baiyu finished speaking, a faint white light suddenly appeared before his eyes, like the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves on a summer afternoon.

He squinted instinctively and saw an object spinning in the white light, accompanied by a faint buzzing sound.

The next second, the light faded.

The thing fell to the ground with a "thud," rolled twice, and then stopped at his feet.

hiss……

Chen Baiyu gasped, staring at the ground with a hint of shock.

It wasn't that the magic trick that appeared out of nowhere was so amazing, but rather that the so-called "crown" really made him freeze for a full three seconds.

Otherwise, given his current reflexes, he wouldn't have failed to catch it falling from the sky.

This thing was all fuzzy, like a hoop made of tufts of grayish-brown monkey hair, just big enough to fit on a wrist, with a few dry leaves and half a gnawed twig stuck crookedly to the edge. It looked like a piece of junk that some naughty kid had glued together in kindergarten art class.

The most ridiculous thing is that there is a shiny plastic straw stuck at the top, with a cartoon logo of a certain Snow King printed on it, reflecting a luster that makes it seem like it can't be allowed into Shanghai in the sunlight.

This is... the lost crown of the cunning monkey?

Chen Baiyu fell silent.

He squatted down and poked the clump of monkey hair with his fingertip; it felt rough and prickly.

Although there was no strange smell, it still gave him the feeling that it carried a slightly fishy smell.

He imagined it might be an ancient metal ring, a headdress inlaid with strange crystals, or at the very least, a piece of polished animal bone...

I never imagined it would be such a childish thing. Calling it a "crown" would be less accurate than calling it a "monkey's steamed bun."

"System, are you sure you didn't send it to the wrong person?"

"Can I get a refund? I'd also like to return the item and get a full refund."

He couldn't help but ask himself a question, and when he pinched the plastic straw between his fingers, the straw could actually rotate flexibly.

Can you wear this on your head? You'd probably be mistaken for being mentally unstable.

Although he likes to install strange fan-made mods in the game and dresses in the most bizarre and outlandish outfits, there are often scenes in the real-time rendered cutscenes of Western fantasy games where a pig-themed character is standing.

But this is reality, not a game.

if you can.

Chen Baiyu really wanted to at least dress like a human being.

The system did not respond.

Only the equipment attribute panel that appeared in my mind as I looked at that thing clearly displayed the words "[The Lost Crown of the Cunning Monkey]", creating an eerie echo with the comical thing on the ground.

in silence.

Chen Baiyu picked up the "crown," weighed it in her hand, and found it to be as light as a clump of dried dandelions.

He tried to put it on his head, and the monkey hair made his forehead itchy, while the plastic straw poked right between his eyebrows.

Looking at myself on the lake not far away, I looked exactly like a clown who had just escaped from a circus.

"..."

He couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.

He then tried to shift his attention to the data displayed on the system panel of the equipment.

【Title: The Lost Crown of the Cunning Monkey】

[Type: Headwear]

Equipment restrictions (level and class): None

[Basic attribute bonus: None]

[Additional Skill (Active): The Lingering Power of the Lost Monkey King - Can be used three times daily. Performs a stunning effect on any primate target within 50 meters. If the target's spirit is lower than the caster's, they will immediately be stunned for 0.5 seconds.]

[System Evaluation: This is not a crown, but a tearful accusation!]

Although there are no other bonuses.

But looking at that genuine extraordinary ability...

Chen Baiyu suddenly felt that it didn't matter if she dressed a little strangely anymore.

If the bonus attributes were better, he would be willing to live in a mansion, drive luxury cars, and eat gourmet food every day.

only……

He found that after putting on this thing, he didn't seem to gain any new skills; it was just like wearing an ordinary handicraft.

With his extraordinary wisdom, he immediately realized that the problem lay in the way he was dressed.
