Host Paradise

Chapter 213 Five Elements Island Continuation ([-])

"Tick the flowers and throw them into the cesspit, and the fragrance of the red lotus will blow in the fire."

This poem was told to Wang Tianxiao by a classmate of Duan Zishou. Because it was interesting, he was quite impressed, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now.

After quoting this poem to the system, the system gave feedback:
"Please choose whether you need the first half of the sentence or the second half of the sentence as your ability?"

Wang Tianxiao: "The second half of the sentence."

Then the system popped up two prompts one after another:

"The reference has taken effect, and you have obtained the ability - the red lotus fragrance in the fire is brushed: no specific ability meaning, the default physical strength is +10%, and the mental strength is +10%."

"You have received the task - picking flowers and throwing them into the cesspit: pick a flower and throw it into the cesspit."

Seeing that the ability is so common, Wang Tianxiao was not surprised, because this poem is indeed just like the system said, it does not describe a certain ability.

When he quoted this poem, he didn't think about his ability. The main reason was that the task was simple, and now he only needed to get a flower.

He had already thought about where to go, and it was naturally the shed where the wooden bandits were.

In [Dungeon Introduction], Wang Tianxiao discovered that among the many plants placed there, there happened to be a few potted flowers.

Not long after, Wang Tianxiao came to the shed.

He happened to have seen this place when he was walking around in the wooden area before, so he came here very quickly.

Walking around the shed, he soon found the door.

It was a thin-looking iron door, so Wang Tianxiao kicked it directly.

"Oh!"

The door crashed down easily.

While walking in, Wang Tianxiao observed the scene inside the house.

There are many potted plants on the left and right sides, and in the aisle in the middle, the wooden man is still soaking in the bathtub.

"Humph, every year on Fertilization Day there are always a few people who don't know what they can do and come to our door!"

Hearing the movement, it murmured disdainfully, then opened its eyes, turned its back to Wang Tianxiao in the bathtub, and turned around.

The moment it turned around, it stretched out a wooden arm and grew many knotted branches to prepare for the enemy.

But then it discovered that the visitor did not attack it as expected.

Instead, he picked up a pot of flowers in his house and ran away!

"What's the situation?" It was suddenly confused.

Immediately afterwards, it turned out of the bathtub and walked outside the shed. Looking at Wang Tianxiao's back, it frowned: "He is not from this island. Although it is not unusual, why did he choose to come to me? district?"

On the other side, Wang Tianxiao had already entered an adobe room with flowers, and he could smell the stench as soon as he entered.

But it's much better than the one I've been to before.

When he came to the toilet cubicle of this house, he discovered the reason why it was so much better.

Because it was a little furry child who was excreting, seeing a stranger like himself coming in, he was so frightened that he burst into tears and couldn't speak.

But Wang Tianxiao ignored him and threw the flower in his hand into the pit under him.

Then he brushed off his clothes and left.

On the way out, the system prompts on time:
"The task 'Putting Flowers into the Shit Pit' has been completed, and the reward has been obtained—item: "One Hundred Songs of the Valley of Songs"."

[Item Name: One Hundred Songs of the Valley]

【Type: Book】

[Quality: full of sense of age]

[Function: Just take a look. 】

[Remarks: This is a small collection of poems written by a monk in the Song Dynasty. 】

When Wang Tianxiao saw such an ordinary ancient book in his hand, he wanted to cry.

"Can this be considered a reward? No one wants to put it up at the auction house, right?" he shouted in his heart.

"Oh, forget it, it may be that this poem really doesn't have any rewards to dig, and the next poem should be better." Wang Tianxiao planned.

What to say, after his plan of talking to himself, the system prompt came again. Obviously, it reminded him to quote verses again.

Wang Tianxiao was annoyed by the constant barking.

He said: "Can you stop for a moment and let me think quietly?"

It was just a tentative complaint at first, but the system actually replied: "Yes, but you need to complete the quotation within the countdown."

The system voice fell, and immediately after, a countdown appeared at the bottom of Wang Tianxiao's field of vision - "04:46".

"More than four minutes? Why not round it up?"

In this regard, the system explained: "The maximum interval between quoting verses is 5 minutes."

"I see. You could have done this earlier. It's annoying me to death."

Facing Wang Tianxiao's irritability, the system didn't say a word.

Seeing this, he stopped chattering.

As he paced back and forth, he thought about what verse to quote next.

The current situation is that there are people from the Didi Hitting Company outside, and it is definitely inconvenient for him to go out, so it is best to think of a poem that can be completed within the wooden area.

But this verse must no longer be like the one just now, only trying to be simple, not rewarding.

Speaking of rewards, Wang Tianxiao first thought of Li Bai's poems.

His poems are exaggerated enough. If relevant rewards are provided according to the content, basically no one is more suitable than his poems.

As soon as he talked about Li Bai's poem, Wang Tianxiao soon thought of a sentence——

"Don't dare to speak loudly, for fear of frightening the heavenly beings."

He quotes it directly.

After the system listened, it immediately gave feedback asking him which sentence to choose as his ability.

Wang Tianxiao chose the latter sentence. Obviously, because there is no actual ability meaning, it was replaced by his two strengths plus 10% each.

But Wang Tianxiao didn't care about the ability of poetry at all, what he wanted was that the tasks were simple enough and the rewards were exaggerated enough.

Immediately afterwards, the system issued a task for him: "Don't dare to speak loudly: keep the noise below 10 decibels for 40 minutes."

When this task appeared, there was an additional energy gauge below the two energy gauges in the upper left corner of Wang Tianxiao's field of vision, with the words - decibel value/duration: 20 decibels/2 seconds in front of it.

"Damn! Do I get 20 if I don't move?"

Wang Tianxiao's subconscious words immediately raised the decibel value to 65, and it became 2 in the next 0 seconds.

Seeing this, he quickly shut his mouth, but the matter has come to an end, since he has to start over, he might as well make all the insurances as soon as possible.

Thinking about it, he raised his hand and said secretly: "Arm!"

Then [Power Lock] appeared on the wrist, and the dark armor covered the whole body.

After arming, he found a stone bench by the side of the road and sat down, pointing one hand at the ground, and waited quietly.

In this way, 5 minutes passed.

During the whole process, the decibel value hovers in the range of 20~30, which is very safe.

However, just when he thought he would stand like this for the remaining five minutes, suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps.

The decibel value in front of him broke through 30 all of a sudden, and was about to exceed 40, which scared Wang Tianxiao a lot.

He hurriedly looked to where the sound came from, only to find that it was a wooden bandit.

So Wang Tianxiao quickly made a "shush" gesture to silence.

As a result, the wood bandit frowned.

Just as it was about to speak in the next second, Wang Tianxiao tapped the ground with quick eyesight and activated the [Silence Art].

In an instant, all sounds disappeared.

In the upper left corner, the decibel value has also changed to 0.
