My system comes with a chat group?

"That's settled. The second floor will have more abundant ingredients. By the way, let's go buy some iron ore to make a gun rifle for Sister Shu. I hope Sister Shu can get used to it."

Chapter 12 is done

"The jelly is ready." The next morning, Yakumo opened the box that Eriri had cast a refrigeration spell on: "There are regular fruit juice types and ones with treasure bugs added."

"Gemworms can be crushed into jam, and the flavor is pretty good. You can try it. This time I made a pure juice version without adding any fruit."

Yakumo used to like eating Kixilang's jelly, which would come with a small piece of fruit. Unfortunately, Yakumo didn't make this kind of jelly.

"It's wobbly and chewy. But is it really okay to eat something so shiny so early in the morning?" Funina poked the jelly with a spoon and felt a sparkling sensation.

"You can leave it for a while until it's not so cold. This isn't ice cream, it won't melt after a while." Yakumo said as he sorted out the ingredients: "I didn't get more ingredients yesterday, so today's cat meal may not be very good, meow."

The effect of cat food also depends on the freshness of the ingredients and the specific ingredients. Of course, the ingredients in Monster Hunter are collected from dragons and matched with the Monster Hunter world, so it cannot be generalized.

The ingredients you buy here are basically ordinary livestock, and the specific effects still need to be seen. However, the cat food skill can still be activated, but the specific items and quantities activated are very random.

"In the morning, we had Japanese-style dumplings from Qiqi. I made quite a few with fillings." Yakumo placed some dumplings on bamboo sticks in front of everyone. "To be honest, what's so delicious about Qiqi's pure dough without fillings, meow."

Yakumo was quite confused: "This is a meat dumpling, and this is a white dough dumpling. You can eat it with jewel bug jam. And this one over here is matcha flavored. It depends on your personal taste."

"Dancing dumplings are pretty good too, they have a very Japanese flavor." Eriri sat down at the table: "And dango are very filling!"

"Yeah, it's all carbohydrates, how can it not fill you up..." Yakumo shook his head: "I still can't understand how the hunters from the Flame Village can fight the ancient dragons by eating only dumplings. Can dumplings provide so much energy?"

"Dumplings with teriyaki sauce are very, very delicious..." Hiiragi Mutina also sat down next to her: "And sweet dumplings are also..."

"This is just a snack in our place." Shu also tasted a few skewers: "But if you only eat dumplings for a long time, it's easy to get malnourished. Eriri and Tina, you should pay more attention to your diet."

"Just like Xiao Yakumo said, you can't just eat carbohydrates, you have to pay attention to nutritional balance. If you are too picky about food, it will not be good for your future growth." Shu couldn't help but start preaching to the two of them.

"Yakumo, every time Miss Shu encounters a situation like this, she starts to lecture us strictly." Funina ate the dumplings while holding her other hand.

While he was touching Yakumo all over - actually he was just petting the cat.

Yakumo is not very tall now, so it is easy for him to be carried away by Funina, or for her to be held and stroked.

"She is Sister Shu after all. She is very strict when it comes to food and nutritional health." Yakumo has become accustomed to being touched on the head and ears by Funina. He also took a bite of the dango himself. It tasted okay for just a few.

"Today we are going to go down to the second floor to have a look." Yakumo announced today's plan: "There are no powerful monsters on the first floor. It is actually a bit too easy for us."

"At most, we'll get sneak attacked by slimes, meow. After entering the second floor, there will be more traps and other monsters, and everyone will feel more adventurous. Oh, I suddenly feel that Xinmeier may like this world very much."

After all, there are so many mazes in this world, it is simply a paradise for Xinmeier. What kind of sparks will be created when Xinmeier meets the boss in the play? Yakumo was a little curious for a while.

"Are we going down to the second floor today?" Shuya heard Yakumo's words: "Isn't that a bit too fast?"

"Sister Shu, don't underestimate them, they are not weak people." Yakumo still has a basic judgment of everyone's strength: "The second floor is not as dangerous as imagined, you will know when you go and see it in detail."

"We still have an advantage over ordinary hunting, after all, we can eat cat food anytime during the journey." Yakumo laughed. In fact, in the game, as long as the duration of cat food is over, there is a chance to eat it again.

In Monster Hunter World, if you stay in the Guiding Lands long enough, you can actually eat cat food several times. Yakumo hasn't played Monster Hunter for a long time, so he doesn't remember some of the detailed settings very clearly.

"Okay, let's pack up and go." Shu Tingwan had no objection.

"By the way, this is your gunpowder, Sister Shu. Luckily, such a weapon doesn't require a lot of ore." Yakumo handed a brand new gunpowder to Shu: "However, this is the most basic gunpowder, meow."

"You can put the previous one-handed sword in the box over here, and you can replace it when you come back." Yakumo pointed to the box he put outside. In the world of Monster Hunter, there is also such a box, which is used to store various weapons and props.

"It's so magical that I can hang it on my back like this?" Shu clearly didn't feel any straps on his back, but he was able to fold the front of the rifle and firmly place it on his back.

"Haha, it's a game system after all, so there's no need to go into such detail about some things." Yakumo laughed twice, then walked out of the room with everyone.

The security of the hotel in the small town was good and we were not disturbed all night.

After coming out, you can see many adventurers walking towards the maze. It is obvious that they are going to the maze to try their luck. The existence of the maze does support many people.

"By the way, before we go to the maze, let's see if there are any commissions we can accept. If we also combine it with the game system, maybe we can get another reward from the system."

This was the case in Fulilian's world before, and his system also gave rewards.

"Then let's go and take a look. Is there a place like the Adventurer's Guild here?" Finina asked curiously.

"I'm not sure, but there should be people who post commissions outside the maze, right? There are also people who want to study the maze, and most likely they will also need maze materials."

The answer is yes. Some researchers who are rich but not very capable will issue commissions for material needs. Shu found that many second-level commissions were all accepted.

"After all, it's the second floor. Many adventurers can still reach it if they grit their teeth." Yakumo was also looking: "But the completion rate is a bit worrying, meow. Many of them have been torn off for a long time."

"Will it fail already?"

Chapter 13: Cat Food is Great

"This... a mission to collect Mandrake?" Ying Lili found one: "Mandra, it can't be the Mandrake I imagined, right?"

"That's the one, meow." Yakumo quickly climbed onto Eriri's shoulders. He was too short now, and he couldn't see the details of the commission from the ground: "You want ten more?!"

Mandrake is not an ordinary plant. It often appears in many fantasy novels. Once pulled out of the soil, it will scream and cause great mental oppression to the creature.

In more serious cases, it may even result in death.

This world is relatively better, because you can be resurrected in the maze, and even if you are scared to death by the scream of the mandrake, you can be resurrected later. So the reward for this commission can only be said to be average.

"Erriri, have you finished practicing your Silent Barrier?" Yakumo jumped off Eriri's shoulder.

“Ah? This…” Eriri was a little embarrassed: “I’m not very good at barriers…”

"Okay, I expected too much, meow." Yakumo covered his forehead and said, "We can't let the commander-in-chief use plants to control it. I'm afraid that once the commander-in-chief controls it, the mandrake will grow bigger again..."

The case of the walking mushroom was still a reminder to them. If the Mandrake was strengthened to the point where its screams could cover the entire second floor, there would be no hope.

"It's a pity that I didn't get the Earplug 5 now, otherwise I wouldn't have to worry about the Mandrake at all." Yakumo felt a little bit sorry. The Earplug skill, in the Monster Hunter game, can make you immune to the effects of the dragon's roar.

"How about... let me give it a try?" Shu looked at his gunpowder: "The shield of this weapon can resist roar-type attacks, right?"

"That's awesome." Yakumo laughed, "The gunlance still has some defensive capabilities. Although it doesn't have the ability to strengthen the wall beads, it can still resist the screams. Then take on this mission, meow?"

"Yes." Shu reached out and tore off the task list: "Are there any other tasks I can take?"

"Here is a request to find someone." Furniture pointed to the other side of the task board: "Do you want to take this? It should be relatively easy to find someone, right?"

"I don't recommend taking this." Shu looked at the time of the commission written on it: "It's been a long time. According to Xiao Yakumo, it is possible to be resurrected in the maze. If there is no news until now, it is very likely that it has been swallowed by the maze."

Whether they were eaten by monsters in other mazes or turned into nutrients for the maze, if a person could not be found in the resurrection station for a long time, there was a high probability that they could not be found.

"Eh? Swallowed by the maze?!"

"Yeah, Fufu, you must not have been paying attention." Yakumo wanted to knock Funinna on the head, but then found that he was not tall enough: "If it takes too long, the soul and body will be separated, and it will become more difficult to revive."

"The maze has its own ecological cycle. If the body is not found for a long time, there is a chance that it has been eaten by other monsters in the maze."

"Eh..." The first level was so easy that Funina forgot that the maze was actually very dangerous.

"The maze here is not the same as the one in the plot. The second floor in the plot is a tree house, but I'm not sure about this one. Let's go down and take a look first." After looking around again, he really didn't find a suitable task.

The reason why the mandrake can still be left is that the scream of the mandrake is too difficult to deal with. People in this world usually choose to use dogs to pull the rope to pull the mandrake out, but most of the dogs will die.

"Fufu, do your summoned friends have hearing?" Yakumo asked curiously, "If not, you can let them pull the ropes. For example, Miss Rebecca."

Miss Shebeleda of Crab can still drag things.

"Hmm... there should be some. Every time I call them, they respond. If they don't respond, they can't respond to my calls, right?"

"Is that so... That's indeed troublesome. Maybe we have to think of other ways to drag them?" Yakumo hasn't thought of any good solution yet, and the team members don't support it either.

"The worst case scenario is that I can only let Sister Shu drag me, and then just raise the shield. It should be doable." There is no such action in the game, but the reality is also impossible to follow the game completely, so you can probably rest assured.

"I'm fine. And the oppressive scream of the mandrake may not have much effect on me." After all, Shu is a beast, and his resistance to mental oppression is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

This time, the group did not stay on the first floor for too long. There were not many edible things on the first floor. Walking mushrooms were scattered throughout the entire maze and could be seen even on the second and third floors.

After entering the second layer, you can gradually see human activities, and the second layer is indeed different from the animation. The second layer here is not a tall forest, but a mixed type of landform.

There are lakes, trees and lawns. I don't know how the lake water is kept so clear for so long. Does the lake water have some purification ability?

"According to the map magic, after we come down, there seems to be no trace of Mandrake in the lower right corner of the second floor. We need to walk to the upper right corner, where there seems to be a Mandrake growing garden."

"Then let's go over there... What is Yakumo-chan collecting?"

"It's the detoxifying grass meow. It can be used as an antidote, and can be synthesized into Chinese herbal medicine later. It's more convenient and faster than the antidote." Yakumo remembered that there were many monsters with toxins in the maze, and Chinese herbal medicine was still very useful in this environment.

"Huh? From this perspective, have I unlocked a new method of refining medicine?"

"Can all the poisons be cured?"

"That's just a theory, after all, there aren't that many poisons in Monster Hunter. In addition to being able to detoxify, Kampo medicine can also restore a certain amount of health, so it's still very convenient to use."

"I'll record the detoxifying herbs as well, so I can use the magic of growing herbs to help them grow." Yakumo turned to Eriri and said, "Eriri, do you want to record it as well? I'll teach you how to make medicine later."

"Coming!" Ying Lili immediately ran over happily. If she could really make the medicine, maybe she would have another way to make money in her own world.

"If you want to learn too, I can teach you together," Yakumo continued.

"Even if I do, I won't need it normally. If I need it... hehe, I can just buy some from Yakumo, or I can just buy some and store them." Unlike Eriri, Funina doesn't need to worry about money.

Chapter 14 Back Scrub

The journey to Mandela Grassland was relatively peaceful. All they encountered were small animals and more plants. There were many man-eating plants on the second floor, most of which had the habit of catching animals.

Some, like the pitcher plant, eat organisms directly, while others, like

Some, like spiders, wrap their prey around their bodies and then store them in their roots for food. Others parasitize their seeds under the skin of animals and then grow again.

Well, the last one brings back some bad memories for Yakumo.

But most of these plants have sweet fruits, some look like green peppers, some look like tomatoes. Yakumo even found some that look like potatoes and sweet potatoes, but these are not buried in the ground, but grow on trees.

Monsters, aren't they amazing?

"So far, I haven't collected much of my goal, but I've picked a lot of food..." Eriri kept complaining: "Eating is just a side job, the mission is the main point, right?"

"Eh? Aren't we here for a trip?" Hiiragi Tina asked in shock. She really thought it was a team-building trip, so she had been thinking of it as a trip for fun.

"Don't listen to Eriri's nonsense, we're just here to have fun." Yakumo replied unhappily, "It doesn't matter if you treat it as a trip or a food tasting trip. It's really not necessary to do it just to complete the mission."

"You can complete missions anywhere, meow. It would be a shame to come here just for the missions. Wait, something is coming." Yakumo signaled everyone to stop, and the bushes in front shook several times in succession.

"Be on guard!" Shu Ding was at the front, his rifle was deployed and his shield was ready. As the bushes shook more and more violently, two dark shadows rushed out from them.

"It's the snake-tailed chicken and... hyena?" Yakumo meowed, "Why are hyenas here?"

"It doesn't look like a hyena. It should be some kind of hyena-like monster." Shu was alert: "Since there are creatures like chickens on this floor, there must be creatures that feed on chickens, right?"

"Well... Sister Shu, in theory, the snake is the main body, meow." Yakumo actually wanted to complain: "And why is there only one hyena? It has no chance of winning against the snake-tailed chicken, meow."

Hyena meat is not tasty, it is sour and smelly. And hyenas are scavengers, so there may be many germs. In comparison, snaketail chicken is a rare delicacy, and the meat is rich, so it is no wonder that it is regarded as prey.

However, a hyena would definitely not be a match for the snaketail chicken, as the snaketail chicken is poisonous and its attacks are very fierce.

"No wonder there were so many detoxification grass cats just now, just right for this situation."

"Should we... intervene?" Hiiragi Tina asked cautiously, "Or should we wait until both of them are defeated?"

"As I remember... hyenas are vengeful animals, right? What if it's a group of hyenas?" Ying Lili carefully recalled her little remaining knowledge about animals.

"In fact, most animals bear grudges. Although hyenas are social animals, they sometimes act alone. This is probably the only reason. The two sides can be regarded as checks and balances on each other."

Yakumo also drew his own weapon: "It is said that the meat of the snaketail chicken is very delicious, meow. There is snake meat and chicken meat. With some of the fruits we just picked, we can make a meal of Kung Pao Chicken and shredded pork with green peppers. The chicken legs can also be used to fry chicken fillets."

"I haven't figured out how to eat the snake part yet... But, everyone just finished breakfast, are you hungry now?"

"…I'm not hungry at all!" Neither Eriri, Hiiragi Mutina, nor Fenina felt hungry.

"Then we won't interfere with the fight between the hyenas and the scorpiontail chickens, unless it affects us. Let's go collect mandrakes first. This scene can be regarded as the ecology of the maze. Since we don't need it, we shouldn't interfere casually."

Yakumo retracted his two swords, and while the two monsters were not paying attention to the team, he directly shot...

"Wow!" Just as the team was about to escape, screams from other people came from the Snake-Tailed Chicken's side. It was obvious that a certain team had run into the battle between the monsters.

"Help! No, don't eat me!" "How could I come across something like this! Gu...poison! Yes, yes..."

"A team ran into Meow, and it looks like they were affected. But... is there another snake-tailed chicken?" The snake-tailed chicken in front of him was fighting with a hyena, and the reason for its screams could only be the presence of other monsters.

"Let's go and take a look!" Shu said immediately. She would not leave anyone in danger alone, even if they could be resurrected in the maze, Shu would still rescue them.

It would be troublesome if the corpse was eaten as Yakumo said.

"Okay... let's go around and take a look, meow." Yakumo sighed, "Sister Shu, remember to put away your weapon and run, otherwise your movements will slow down and you won't be able to run, meow."

……

There was indeed a snaketail chicken, which was very strange. Usually there should be only one of this kind of creature, and it should be a solitary type. But here I encountered two? Could it be because they were hatching eggs or something?
