024. Detective Gordon and the Mushroom
"A total of 15 arrows were shot, all hitting the vital points of the monster. It took 4 seconds, with a total score of 35 points!" As the counters burst out with Bai Xiaoqiu's results in amazement, the expressions of the onlookers all turned into (゜Д゜) words like (゜Д゜).
"Is this a bad thing?!" Gordon felt that his grades didn't have to be forgotten, because he clearly remembered that he shot an arrow empty, and at least five arrows did not hit the nail on the head. Objectively speaking, this kind of grade is considered good even in the upper hunter circle, but comparing with Bai Xiaoqiu's grades would be a bit humiliating.
"How did this guy do it?" Gordon asked in a daze.
"He squatted on the ground, put several arrows on, and then swept the monsters with Shaw's eyes. The background music sounded like a tadpole looking for his mother, and flew to the vital point of the monsters by himself..." The onlookers also replied in a confused look on their faces.
"What the hell is Shaw's eyes!! This is not a martial arts film from the 1970s and 1980s, and I am not a big villain like Zuoshan Diao. I even use Shaw's eyes?!!" Gordon roared wildly as if he was collapsed, "Where did the 'thump' sound effect come out?!! What the hell is Tadpole looking for his mother?! I just want to play the game well, coach!!"
"Damn, you still have the face to talk to me!" Bai Xiaoqiu was unhappy, "When you appeared, you were the BGM of the God of Gambling!! I was so scared that I almost knelt down. Did you make it?"
"I was humming it with someone. Where did your sound effects come out? Fucking it out?"
"Hmph, you don't have to worry about it!"
"You're blushing!! Look straight into my eyes and refute me, bastard!!"
"I'm so annoying, I'm saying you don't have to worry about it!"
“…”
“…”
"Ahem," the old village chief finally stood up to end the farce, "We should have won this game... Then there is no need to compete in the next game, just send the official hunter qualification to Xiaobai directly."
No matter how shameless Gordon was, he couldn't say that he won this game, but the fact that he lost to a rookie hunter also made him so ashamed that he wanted to swallow feces and commit suicide. He had to come up with some way to save face.
"Well..." Gordon made a long tone and made up his mind to cheat. "I suddenly realized that archery is not very effective in hunting the New Year beast, so the results of this competition are invalid. You have to win another game!"
"Is there no problem comparing another game?" Bai Xiaoqiu said gently, "But what if you lose and cheat again?"
Gordon was angry by Bai Xiaoqiu's attitude: "If you cheat again, I will marry my wife in the future. The neighbors next door of the new family will be surnamed Wang!"
"This oath is too cruel..." Everyone was shocked by Gordon's determination.
"Okay, okay, I believe you..." Bai Xiaoqiu could only nod.
—————————————————
"In order to avoid the reappearance of the content of the competition that has nothing to do with the fight against the New Year Beast, I will choose this competition event!" Gordon said without blushing and breathing while standing on the grass.
So when humans meet similar people who are very similar to themselves, they either become very good friends or become enemies directly. Gordon and the village chief are so inconsistent may not be because their arms were cut off, but because these two guys look shameless and look so similar...
Gordon ignored everyone's eyes and announced directly: "This competition specifically examines the ability to identify plants. The limited time is 30 minutes. As many plant materials that can be used should be found as much as possible within the limited time. For each material that is found and its name is correctly stated, two points will be deducted if it is wrong. Materials with high rarity will receive additional points, and the final total score will be higher and the side will win. Are there any problems?"
"I know, I know!" Bai Xiaoqiu was too lazy to talk to him: "Go to start quickly!"
As the countdown of 321 ended, two figures instantly galloped in different directions.
Although they ran fast, their eyes kept scanning the plants around them. Whenever they saw the material, they would run over quickly, waved their shovels or simply dig them out with their hands.
Unlike Gordon, who relied on his experience to steadily find materials, Bai Xiaoqiu's performance shocked the audience again. This guy was like a naughty child entering the supermarket. He picked up something and threw it into the cloth bag after a few steps. After a while, the small package became full of fullness.
"Oh, this is herb, I know!" Bai Xiaoqiu happily digging the soil while communicating with the system in his mind, "What is that?"
"Oh, is Mu Tianli? OK, what about this?"
"Ah... it's sticking to grass... Damn, why didn't you say it earlier?!! It can't be taken off when it sticks to your hands, bastard!!"
Seeing Bai Xiaoqiu's posture of wind sweeping away the clouds, Gordon's heart suddenly skipped a beat again, but he forced a smile of disdain: "Tsk, this is definitely a blind hand. You will cry when you can't tell the name of the material later! This idiot, I'll win this game!"
......
"Time is here!"
At the end of the game, Bai Xiaoqiu and Gordon returned to the starting location with a lot of gains.
Gordon placed the plant materials he had carefully collected on the table one by one and introduced them one by one: "This is sleep grass, this is poisonous umbrella mushroom, this is burst walnut...ah, this is amazing, this is..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Bai Xiaoqiu next to him pour all the things in the cloth bag on the table, and a hill was piled up in an instant.
"Wow, that seems like a heartbeat mushroom?!" The rookie civil servant from the Hunter Guild opened his mouth wide.
"There is also the legendary dragon killing fruit!" The old bird Hu brother was also full of sighing.
"..." Gordon stood beside him with a black head, his eyes twitching again and again, "You told him all the answers, idiots!! Let him tell him it out by himself!!!"
"It's okay," Bai Xiaoqiu said with a smile, "You can pick any of these materials, as long as I say one wrong, I will lose!"
Gordon was happy: "This is what you said seriously?"
“Of course ~”
"Okay!!" Gordon felt that Bai Xiaoqiu had started to pretend to be timid again, and his eyes were rolling around, preparing to die of Bai Xiaoqiu in one breath.
"Here!..... Tell me, what is this?" he asked, pointing to the huge mushrooms with huge heads, slightly yellow surfaces, and suspicious black spots.
Bai Xiaoqiu glanced at it, and the system immediately popped up the name and introduction of the mushroom, so he replied calmly: "That is [**发发], a very rare large mushroom, with a paralysis effect that is more than five times that of ordinary paralysis mushrooms."
"Hahaha, you said it wrong the first one, idiot!" Gordon laughed like a snoring, "The size of the umbrella mushroom is about 30 cm, yours is only a dozen cm, and you are just an ordinary umbrella mushroom with an over-sized size. He actually wants to use it to pretend to be a rare variety to deceive people... Boy, ignorance is not your fault, ignorance is even more than yours, it is your fault~"
Bai Xiaoqiu looked inexplicably: "According to your opinion, it may also be a shrinking umbrella mushroom..."
"Hmph, of course ordinary people think so, but as an old hunter, I am an old hunter!..." Gordon gave a thumbs up and said proudly: "I know the characteristics of this mushroom! **The paralysis effect of umbrella mushrooms is extremely strong, and they will be paralyzed just when they come into contact with it. Therefore, it must be collected with very exquisite techniques. How can a rookie like you do? So there is only one truth!!" He pointed forward and pointed Bai Xiaoqiu: "You are just using ordinary umbrella mushrooms to make up for the numbers!!"
"Ah... wonderful, what a wonderful reasoning!" Bai Xiaoqiu took the lead and clapped, "Then let's verify it now?"
"Okay, you can touch it with your hands and the truth will be revealed." Gordon replied, clasping his nostrils.
"You think I'm an idiot?! I'll be paralyzed after touching it!!"
"You are just an ordinary paralytic mushroom, nothing will happen."
"You can do it!"
"I'll do it!" Gordon rolled up his sleeves and walked up, muttering, "This is obviously the most ordinary numb-..."
"Godon? Master Gordon?! Inspector Gordon?!!!"
"Uh... useless, this guy has been paralyzed..." The village chief waved his hand, "Come on, load him in the car and transport him back to the village!!"
