Chapter 22: Chapter 22: The Abnormal Creature Capture Plan_1
Mu You was taken aback.
According to the opening background of the game "Fool", cracks appeared in the 'wall', allowing the fool's consciousness to pass through the wall to the Star Spirit World.
If the fool can 'luckily' pass through the wall, then some creatures of the Star Spirit World could also 'luckily' pass through the 'wall' to Earth. It makes sense.
Mu You hurriedly continued to translate further.
"I am completely unable to understand the other party's meaning, and continue to inquire about what exactly that place is, but the other party also cannot say, only saying that it was chased by many fools, and finally escaped into an empty factory, where many logs were piled up. Nearby there was a huge round turntable, and next to the turntable was a lighthouse that would flash in the night..."
"I still can't understand, I want to ask again, but that voice suddenly started to weaken, as if being interfered with, becoming intermittent. At the end, the other party pleaded with me, hoping that I would go to the Red Rose Wizard Academy in the Imperial Capital and find Miss Chris Freya to relay information about it, with a promise of a generous reward..."
"The voice ended there, and no more murmurs were heard in my ear. It was as if everything I had experienced before was just an illusion."
"After much deliberation, I decided to go to the Imperial Capital to notify the young lady of the aristocracy about this news. Perhaps this is an opportunity to change my fate... Pray for my safe arrival..."
The diary abruptly ended here.
Mu You sighed.
Clearly, this watchman did not succeed. He likely encountered disaster not long after leaving the village, leaving only this diary and other relics which all ended up in Mu You's possession.
Looking back, Mu You returned to the diary, focusing on a description: "Ran into an empty factory, where many logs were piled up, nearby there was a huge round turntable, next to the turntable was a lighthouse that would flash in the night..."
This was the only description in the whole diary about the location of the creature from another world.
"A huge round turntable... could it be referring to a Ferris wheel? This factory is built near some amusement park..."
"The lighthouse that flashes in the night... it should be a signal tower..."
"Many logs are piled around... so it's a lumber factory..."
…
Mu You was analyzing word by word.
"Speaking of which, the locations in the Star Spirit World and those in the real world correspond, since the watchman heard the voice near the village, the creature's location on Earth should not be too far from me..."
Thinking this, Mu You opened the map on his phone, and tried searching for the three key words: 'amusement park', 'lumber factory', and 'signal tower'.
And a location really did pop up!
A place called 'Wood Rich Timber Factory' is 20km away in the northern suburbs.
This lumber factory had declared bankruptcy half a year ago, since then, no one took over and it was completely abandoned.
Next to this factory there is an open-air amusement park, indeed there is also a signal tower in the amusement park, which perfectly matches the description in the diary!
"Seems like I need to go there in person."
Mu You opened the Fool game.
Ten hours have passed, his weapon should be ready by now.
Indeed, as soon as he started the game, a message popped up.
[Forgery completed.]
[You've obtained the 'Mithril Bow'.]
[The Mithril Bow: A longbow made of mithril and lightning snake tendons, drawing the bowstring and an energy arrow will automatically form, this energy arrow has a paralysis effect, it will cause a certain degree of slowing down to the enemy after it hits.]
"A bow that doesn't need arrows?"
Mu You was taken aback, and clicked on the text of the Mithril Bow.
An quaint silver longbow appeared in his hand. The silver-white body of the bow was engraved with various symmetrical patterns. Both ends were curled up like eagle horns, forming two beautiful curves. On the milky white bowstring, streaks of electric sparks were flickering.
Mu You tried to hold the bow in his left hand and raise it horizontally.
He pinched the bowstring with his right hand, bent his arm, and pulled the bowstring open.
Sure enough, an arrow emitting faint light appeared suddenly on the bow.
Mu You was surprised and kept the bow drawn. He reached out a finger to touch the arrow.
His hand felt an icy numb sensation - this longbow spoke of the 'energy arrow' that would automatically form. However, in actuality, this arrow is physical, it's visible and can be touched. The only thing is, it could not be removed, once it was detached from the bow, the arrow would disappear soon.
"A bow that comes with infinite light arrows, incredible!"
Mu You released the bowstring and watched as the arrow automatically disappeared, nodding his head in satisfaction.
Drawing the bow and you can shoot an arrow, completely eliminating the process of taking out and setting up arrows. The firing speed of the archer will increase significantly. In actual combat, it would be an artillery powerhouse with infinite continuous fire!
With such an amazing bow, coupled with the spell 'Bullseye', he should finally be able to defeat those small wild creatures like spiders and snakes, right?
It's a pity that today's action points are already used up, or Mu You really wants to try it out.
Now it's better to go look for that creature from another world first.
"If I can capture this creature and train it as a pet, it would be like having an extra piece of combat power in reality, and maybe I can even get some news about the Star Spirit World..."
No matter how you look at it, it's vital to interact with this creature.
Mu You immediately started preparing the items he would need for tonight.
"Mobile phone, power bank, flashlight, fruit knife, tranquilizer needles for beasts, climbing rope... hmm, none in the house, looks like I have to go to the outdoor equipment supermarket... also a knife, preferably a professional flying knife, it can make use of the 'Bullseye' effect, and it's more convenient and concealed than a bow and arrow. If there is danger, I can throw it out as a handy weapon..."
Mu You was checking the items that he could use, and threw them all into the Watchman's Backpack.
He finally set the exterior of the watchman's backpack to look like an ordinary shoulder bag, zipped up the backpack and went out.
After going downstairs, all the guests in the store had left, and Little Ya was cleaning up at the door.
"Eh? Boss, are you going on a long trip?" Little Ya looked confusedly at Mu You's getup.
"Yeah, I have to go do something... Oh, Little Ya, it's the weekend tomorrow and the day after, we're not going to be open, so go home and have a good rest for two days, I'll send you a bonus when you come back!" Mu You said to Little Ya.
There were quite a few customers in the shop today, and he didn't go downstairs the entire time, it was all relied on Little Ya. To say she wasn't tired would be a lie.
Plus, he was going out tonight and he didn't know what the situation would be, so Mu You decided to close the shop for two days and let this girl have a good rest.
"Oh..."
Little Ya nodded in a daze, watching Mu You rush out, a liitle confused appear on her face.
"Why has the boss been acting strange these past two days..."
…
After leaving the shop, Mu You hailed a taxi and headed straight for the largest outdoor goods supermarket in the whole development area. There, he bought climbing ropes, binoculars, a multi-purpose shovel, a set of flying knives, and a hand crossbow that could be fixed on his arm for firing tranquilizer needles.
In addition, he specifically bought a stab-resistant suit. After all, he had no idea what the magical pet from another world looked like, whether it had sharp teeth and claws, or how big it was. It was definitely a good idea to prepare more.
After stuffing all these items into the backpack, Mu You then hailed another taxi to rush to the northern suburbs.
