Problem Girls Strategy

Seeing Huihui retreating a sufficient distance, Jiang Zao had an idea and broke away from the armor, but the armor itself did not disappear. Instead, it picked up a piece of fruit, wiped it clean and put it in his hand.

He raised his eyebrows proudly at the others: "How is it, is it shocking?"

Kael really wanted to pry open this man's head and see what was inside. He just chatted with Kokoro for a few words, but he actually created a battle armor similar to an alchemical puppet. This kind of efficiency and talent could make an alchemist who specializes in puppets angry to death.

Huihui's saliva poured out of her mouth like a waterfall, just like Pekorim seeing delicious food, and her eyes were so red that Jiang Zao suspected that she would shoot a laser and burn herself through in the next second.

"Jiang Zao! Get me one too!"

"Sorry, can't do that."

"How could this happen!!!"

Chapter 274: The Stinky Swamp

Huihui didn't get the cool armor she wanted, and angrily increased her Coke intake to three cans a day. Jiang Zao, who was satisfied with completing the magic, didn't care about these little things. Instead, he wore the [Elemental Armor] and wandered around in front of her whenever he had time, making her so angry that she jumped to her feet, but she couldn't do anything about it.

With her small arms and legs, it wouldn't hurt much if she swung her magic wand to hit him, not to mention that he was wearing armor. If she really hit him, it would probably be just like a tickle.

After two days of clearing monsters, collecting materials and food on the way, the Food Hall finally arrived at a swamp area where Bubble Frogs appeared.

Round brown-green grass clumps of various sizes form isolated islands on the water. In this swamp grow many strange trees without forked branches or leaves, like straight spears sticking out of the water.

"It has only one trunk, and the center is hollow, like a straw, so it's called a straw tree." Kokoro, who had read a lot of books in the elves, introduced these strange things to everyone: "The air in this swamp is very humid, and it should rain frequently. The core of the straw tree can be used as a water storage tower. There are similar plants in the elves."

“So, where is that monster called Bubble Frog?” Huihui raised her right hand to the same height as her eyebrow and stood on tiptoe to look around. The swamp looked desolate and dead. Apart from the five of them, there were no other living creatures.

Pekolim took over the topic: "I heard from others that the bubble frog only appears during the heaviest rainstorms in this swamp."

"Then are we going to wait here until the heavy rain starts?" Kailu frowned. She didn't want to catch frogs in the heavy rain. Except when taking a bath, she didn't want her ears and tail to get wet.

"This is the only way. Last time I gave up because I didn't wait for the rainstorm."

"Who knows when the heavy rain will come? Will we have to stay here for ten days or half a month?"

"No need." Kokoro shook her head and gave an affirmative answer: "Based on the humidity of the air, it will rain heavily in about half a day at most."

"If it doesn't work, I can control the water element to create a rainstorm artificially." Jiang Zao could sense that the water element here was unusually rich, so he could still control heavy rain in a small area.

Huihui used her hand to test the depth of the swamp. When she felt the soft touch on her fingertips, the water had already submerged half of her arm.

She playfully stirred the water with her fingers, turning the originally clear water turbid, then pulled her hand back to shake off the water droplets: "Hey~ The water here is quite deep, how can we move in this swamp?"

"I'll just use ice elements to form the floor."

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot you're an ancient magician."

Deciding to wait here for half a day, Kokoro built a bonfire far away from the swamp. At first, she wanted to light a bonfire nearby, but because of the abundant water elements near the swamp, the air was extremely humid and the burning firewood was difficult to burn, so she had to change the place.

Kael placed her tail in front of her and moved it close to the fire. After staying at the edge of the swamp for a while, her tail swelled up like a sponge after absorbing water, which made her very irritated.

Jiang Zao rubbed his hands together. He wanted to stroke the fluffy cat's tail, but she definitely wouldn't agree. He smacked his lips with regret and decided to continue teasing Hui Hui. He turned around and put on the [Elemental Armor].

Unfortunately Huihui has learned her lesson and simply closed her eyes. Out of sight, out of mind. Although saliva still seeps from the corners of her mouth from time to time, at least she isn't getting so angry that her eyes are glowing.

Jiang Zao, feeling bored, could only retract his magic, picked up a branch from the ground and poked the firewood in the fire.

As time passed, the air became gradually more humid, to the point where one only needed to wave one's hands and their palms would be filled with water droplets. Except for Pekolim who was insensitive to the elements, the other four people could sense the water elements gathering above the swamp.

In the blink of an eye, a rainstorm descended on the swamp. Jiang Zao and his companions were just outside the range of the rainstorm. Looking at the rain curtain like a waterfall, Kailu showed obvious disgust: "Do you really want to go in there to find Bubble Frog?"

"Don't worry, I will use wind elements to block the rain, and ice elements to form a floor under my feet."

"Okay...well, now that you've done that."

Walking into the swamp, the wind element was like a huge, constantly rotating umbrella covering everyone's heads, throwing away the heavy rain. Stepping on the ground formed by solid ice, Pekolim squinted her eyes and looked for the Bubble Frog in the rain.

But the rainstorm was so severe that it even affected everyone's vision. The dense rain covered the wind element like a huge frosted glass, making all the scenery in the swamp blurry.

Huihui tried to stick her head out of the wind element, but the mud and rotten smell that hit her in the face blasted her back. She wiped her face and shouted, “Jiang Zao! Use the water element to help me wash off the mud on my face, it stinks!”

"How dare you stick your head out in such a strong wind..."

“I just want to see it more clearly.”

"Rinse it clean. Here, wipe your face with a towel."

Hui Hui put her hand to her nose and sniffed it, her face darkening: "Don't take out my towel. What if I use it to wipe my face and the smell gets on it?"

"Is it really that smelly?" Jiang Zao approached her curiously, and despite her pushing, he sniffed her fair face: "It does smell rotten, as if you just came out of a garbage dump."

“I don’t stink!” Huihui punched the outspoken bastard in the chest in shame and anger: “This is mud stink!”

Pekolim, who had originally wanted to rush out in the rain to look for Bubble Frog, gave up the idea instantly after seeing this. She took more steps back than she went out. No girl could stand the stench all over her body, let alone in front of a boy.

Kailu noticed that something had hit the wind barrier just now, and then was thrown away: "Hey, did you notice anything falling on your head?"

"It looks like a small animal?" Kokoro said uncertainly.

"Animals? Could it be Bubble Frog?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zao slightly slowed down the speed of the wind element. This time, everyone saw a palm-sized black shadow falling on top of their heads. The sharp-eyed Kailu saw the true appearance of the black shadow. It was a frog with red fruit growing on its back.

"A frog with fruit on it, could it be a bubble frog?"

"That should be correct. Only bubble frogs appear in this swamp during heavy rains."

"Then I'll have the [Elemental Armor] go out and catch them."

Anyway, [Elemental Armor] is a battle armor constructed with magic. Even if it is stained with a bad smell, the smell will disappear when the magic dissipates. Jiang Zao is not worried that it will turn into a Snow-Eating Man Armor.

Chapter 275 Tail Sister

The rainstorm came quickly and went away quickly. After Jiang Zao caught more than a dozen bubble frogs with [Elemental Armor], the sky cleared up completely. Until the last moment before the rainstorm dissipated, everyone saw the bubble frogs jumping out of the straw tree.

"So they've been hiding in the straw tree all this time?"

"No wonder they only appear during heavy rains. If the straw trees are this tall, they wouldn't be able to jump out if they weren't filled with rainwater, right?"

The girls sighed, and Jiang Zao remembered a certain kind of frog he had seen in a science video before. They also spent most of their lives living in bamboo sections. It seemed that the Bubble Frog's way of survival was similar to theirs.

He took the wind element net bag filled with bubble frogs from the armor, lifted it up and asked Pekolim: "Do you only need the fruit on your back?"

"Yes, just take the fruits and let them go."

Huihui rolled up her sleeves and wanted to volunteer to do this, but the mud on Bubble Frog's body made her hesitate. The garbage dump-like stench on her right hand and face has not dissipated yet. She didn't want her left hand to be stained with this smell, otherwise she would not be able to eat.

Seeing that the girls all had expressions of disgust, Jiang Zao controlled the armor to remove all the fruits on the back of the Bubble Frog and released it. He then rinsed the fruits twice with water elements and soaked them in a large bowl.

Now that they had obtained the special ingredients, they had no reason to stay in the swamp and left along the ice they had created.

As dinner time approached, Huihui used the soap in the capsule house's bathroom to remove the odor from her hands and face. She looked at the pomegranate-like fruits soaking in the water and asked, "Can this really be eaten?"

"There's no problem. I just tried one and it's very sweet!" Pekolim gave her a thumbs up confidently.

"You must be really hungry. You can actually tell whether this strange fruit is poisonous or not just by eating it."

"You should try it too, it's really sweet."

Since someone had tested the poison first, Huihui no longer worried about the safety of these fruits and grabbed a handful and put them in her mouth.

"Hmm...hmm...it's really sweet, and it doesn't have any core...it's very juicy...it tastes good, I feel like I can get some more when I come back."

"Right!"

Seeing that the two were eating with gusto, Kailu and Kokoro, who had been waiting and watching, also joined in. When Jiang Zao came out of the kitchen, only one third of the fruit was left in the big bowl.

"Leave some for me!"

He wiped the water off his hands, quickly grabbed two handfuls of fruit and threw them into his mouth. His cheeks puffed up like a hamster, and his teeth kept chewing the plump and juicy fruits.

“Burp~” Huihui burped ungraciously. She didn’t care at all. “I feel full after eating a little bit of the fruit. It’s delicious and filling. How come Pekolim didn’t find it until now?”

"Maybe other people just don't think of eating this kind of thing. Only a foodie like her would have such a unique idea."

"Kailu, you're wrong!" Pekolim threw herself at her with a bear hug, hugging her like a large stuffed toy and touching her everywhere: "I've always wanted to ask, why do orcs have four ears?"

"Isn't this normal? The ears on top of my head are auditory amplifiers. If I block the ears next to my face, I won't be able to hear anything."

"Hey~ So that's what it looks like. Can I touch your cat ears?"

"No! The ears and tails of the orcs are very important parts, they will only be touched by lovers."

Jiang Zao, who had walked behind Kailu and was quietly reaching out his evil hand towards her tail, stopped when he heard her words. Just as he was about to walk away before Kailu noticed, he saw the furry tail standing up like a rattlesnake and shouted, "Boy, were you trying to touch me just now?"

Strange, could Kaede’s tail originally speak?

Before he could think about it, the tail continued, "Hey, let me ask you a question. Do you want to touch my sexy, furry body?"

Being caught red-handed by Tail Sister, Jiang Zao couldn't deny it: "Yes... Tail Sister, if you are unhappy, I will leave now."

"Hey, hey, hey, who told you to leave?" The tail sister called him and twisted her body seductively: "I am naturally beautiful, but unfortunately no one of the opposite sex has touched me until now. My soft hair has been wasted. Today we are destined to meet, so I will let you touch me twice."

"But... Kailu will be angry, right?"

"Why do you care what she does? Is she the tail or am I the tail?" The tone of the tail sister changed, from a charming lady to a fierce aunt who pinched her waist and cursed: "I have followed her for more than ten years, and I have hardly seen a handsome man. All day long, I deal with those kittens who can only meow and have only food in their eyes. If I didn't see men occasionally, I would have thought I was serving a sentence in some country of women. It's really a drought or flood."

"Sister Tail...how long have you been holding it in..."

"Don't worry about it. Just say I let you touch me today, will you?"

In a trance, Jiang Zao seemed to see a big sister wearing a black jacket and sunglasses standing in front of him. She raised her foot and stepped on his ear with her high heels that could kill people, and was grabbing his collar and questioning him viciously.

"Big sister... calm down, I'll touch you, I can touch you, isn't that okay? If Kailu comes to trouble me, you have to help me."

"No big deal, if this girl causes you any trouble, I'll just tie her legs up!"

"Sister Tail is mighty!"

Jiang Zao carefully stroked the tail, and the originally domineering tail sister instantly turned into a gentle kitten: "Yes, yes, that's the place, ah~~ touch it for a while longer..."

His fingertips sank into the hair, combing from the base of the tail to the tip as if combing someone's hair. The big sister of the tail moaned in pleasure that needed to be silenced the entire time. The tail wrapped around Jiang Zao's wrist several times, suddenly tightened, and then softly released.

"Phew~ You...boy...you're good at massaging. I'm very satisfied with this massage. I'll come to you again if I have the chance." The big sister patted his shoulder with the tip of her tail approvingly: "I'm going to take a rest. See you next time."

"Oh...oh, take care, Big Sister Tail." Jiang Zao, who had successfully communicated with Kailu's Tail, was a little confused. From what she said, would she come to see him again in the future?

He didn't resist being able to touch the tail that felt so good for free, but he was a little worried about being discovered by Kael. He glanced up secretly and found that she was still covering her cat ears to avoid Pekorim's attack.

It turns out that the cat's tail and the cat itself are two different species.

Jiang Zao sighed in his heart and tiptoed away. He just straightened his back when a hand was placed on his shoulder. A hoarse voice full of metallic texture came from behind: "Master, is it time for you to clean me?"

Chapter 276: One Jade Is Stronger Than Another

Jiang Zao turned around and saw [Elemental Armor] standing behind him and making a request to him.

"There's no need to clean it. I can just remove the magic and use it again, and you'll be clean again, right?"

"But wouldn't that mean I would die covered in filth?"

"What you said seems to make sense."

It's not a big deal to wash the armor anyway, so Jiang Zao led him outside: "I'm afraid the mud will clog the floor drain inside, so I'm taking you outside, do you mind?"

"Of course not, as long as I can clean this stain off."

"Oh~ As expected of my good armor, you are so reasonable!"

"This is all thanks to the master."

One man and one armor stood outside the house and exchanged a few words. Jiang Zao waved his hand to summon water elements to condense into a stream of water to continuously wash the armor: "Can you smell the garbage smell on your body? If so, I'll go to the house to get the shower gel."

War Armor raised his arm to the face without facial features and sniffed: "It does have a smell, but there is no need to go through so much trouble. Just rub it with the deep forest wild boar oil that I boiled earlier."

"That's right. In ancient times, people used oil to maintain armor. The lard from my other world even has a herbal scent. Wouldn't it be a perfect match for the other side?"

"You're right."

Jiang Zao took out lard from the storage space, tore off the scarf on the armor and soaked it in lard, and gave it an essential oil treatment. Looking at the armor in front of him, which was gleaming and exuding a special herbal fragrance, he nodded with satisfaction: "You are completely refreshed now."

Zhan Jia put his left hand behind his back and placed his right hand on his chest, and bowed like a gentleman: "Then Master, I will withdraw."

"Well, thank you for your hard work today."

Jiang Zao waved his hand to disperse the [Elemental Armor] and was about to return to the capsule house when the grass on the ground, which was still covered in mud, called him back.
