The origin of elves

Under the eyes of everyone commenting, Qiucheng and Nova continued to take out the insect sloughs from their space backpacks and counted them one by one. In the past ten minutes, they had picked up a total of 440 insects!

During everyone's discussion, Odeon and Kurosawa each took away 150, and the remaining insect sloughs were shared equally between Qiucheng and everyone at the institute. In other words, Qiucheng himself could get 20 sloughs of iron-shelled insects!

Although he took some risks, he earned 4000 today, and Qiucheng felt happy just thinking about it.

"This insect slough? What should I do?" Nova asked Odeen who was counting beside him.

"Just give it to me directly." After saying that, Odeen took the worms on the ground and carried them back to his own space.

"I'll give you my share when I go back and sell it out," said Kurosawa, who was standing on the other side.

"Okay, then we can divide the rest after we go back and sell them together for money." Originally, everyone only brought one space backpack. Everyone wants to make money anyway, so it is normal to divide it after returning home.

While there was nothing else to do, Qiucheng opened the system in his mind and looked at the previous system prompt that read (The mission item has been obtained. Should it be stored in the backpack?)

Into the backpack, is the insect slough included in the system backpack? Qiucheng remembered to ask his assistant.

"Assistant, after the mission is completed, can the insect slough still be stored in the backpack?"

Then the voice of his assistant, whom Qiu Cheng had not contacted for a long time, appeared in an instant and answered.

"No, because the insect sloughs are mission items and need to be submitted to the system, so once the mission is completed, all the insect sloughs will be handed over."

"Submit it in? To complete this task, will the insect sloughs disappear? Then how many insect sloughs should I put into the system backpack? Will they all disappear?" Qiucheng felt a little sad. He thought that this task was to collect a certain amount, but he didn't expect that he would have to go up. pay.

"This task will not limit the number of items turned in, and the final reward will also change based on the amount collected and turned in. The greater the amount, the better the reward."

Listening to the assistant's introduction, Qiucheng looked at the system tasks again.

mission Board

Use money to create happiness

Set off with the expedition team and collect the shells of 10 iron-shelled worms within a week.

Collected: 010

Mission successful: reward unknown (based on collection)

Mission failed: Clear all system coins

Sure enough, the collection amount has not changed, and I understand what the rewards for successful missions mean based on the collection status.

But now the insect sloughs that I can get are all in the space backpack in the hands of Uncle Nova. I can't take them out and put them into the system backpack at all. If I want to complete the task, I have to get the worm sloughs again, and when they are put into the system, they must also He couldn't let others see him. After thinking about the difficulty of completing the task, Qiucheng's head grew bigger.

In the evening, Qiucheng, who released the unicorn from the elf ball like last night, had already prepared elf food. But after a while, he found that the unicorn seemed to be in a bad mood. Even the elf food tonight was not good. did not eat.

"What's wrong?" The horned insect looked at Qiucheng, as if he wanted to say something.

It's a big deal for the unicorn bug not to eat. Who knows if it's sick. There are no instruments to check in the forest. Thinking of the difficulty and punishment of completing this mission, Qiucheng turned on the Elvish language skill.

Qiucheng, who turned on the skill, immediately felt an inexplicable connection between himself and the unicorn insect, and heard what the unicorn insect said at this time.

"So close."

"What's so close?" Qiucheng was a little confused.

"Master? Can you understand what I say again?" The one-horned insect was a little surprised.

"Well, didn't you say that before? Sometimes it disappears, but you can hear it from time to time. What's wrong with you, unicorn?"

"I was born near here, and I also left here." There was a hint of loneliness in the voice of the unicorn.

"Born nearby? Are you talking about the large Styli bee nest nearby?" Qiucheng thought of the new Styli bee nest they discovered.

"Yeah, that's where I got kicked out."

"So, you are not in the mood to eat when you come here?" Qiu Cheng looked at the one-horned insect nodding and felt relieved. However, little did he know that the conversation between Qiucheng and the one-horned insect was seen by Odeen. .

Odeen noticed that Qiucheng and the unicorn seemed to be having a conversation. With his keen intuition, he felt that something was wrong. The man named Qiucheng seemed to be asking and answering the unicorn, as if he could understand the unicorn. Talk the same.

"Brother Qiucheng, can you understand what the elf is saying?"

Looking at Odeon who came to him from nowhere, and hearing his question, Qiucheng immediately felt regretful for his carelessness, and then answered calmly.

"Odeon, can you understand the elf?"

"I don't know how. When I heard rumors, it was said that some very few special people can communicate with the elves spiritually and understand all the words the elves say, so I have to ask you." Odeen watched. Qiucheng's face seemed to be waiting for his reply.

"I also want to be able to understand the elf, but unfortunately I can't. Maybe I have a deep relationship with the unicorn, so I can vaguely understand his feelings."

Qiucheng blurred the capabilities of his skills, and used this sentence to tell Odeon that the conversation I just had with the unicorn insect may be a bit different from ordinary people, but the so-called speaking is just a little bit that can get a small reward. It's just the feelings of the elves.

"Feelings? Compared to other elves, do you also know how they feel?" Odeen obviously paid some attention to this issue.

"I don't know. Apart from the unicorn, I have never come into contact with other elves. Maybe this feeling is just a figment of my imagination."

"Qiucheng, I overheard just now, what did you tell the unicorn about the nearby nest?"

The emergence of a lie requires countless lies to conceal and complete the lie. Qiucheng underestimated Odeen's attention and the amount of information he saw. Now Qiucheng can only assume that even if he and the one-horned insect are so far away from the crowd, Odeen Still heard everything he said.

"Well, my unicorn beetle was abandoned by the population. It appeared at the edge of the forest, so I could meet it. I was just talking about what happened today. When I talked about the nearby giant needle bee nest, I felt that it felt like It's a little muffled, so I think the horned beetles may have been expelled from this giant needle wasp nest."

After listening, Odeen looked Qiucheng up and down and said, "Looking at your clothes and food, your family's financial situation must be bad. Do you want to make a lot of money?"

"How to make big money?" Qiucheng probed carefully.

"Don't worry about this, as long as you are interested. I have a plan tomorrow, something like this..."
