There are three ideas for hidden tasks given by Li Shu.
First, get acquainted with the protagonist Ikoma and then participate in his development of the Kabane weapon-the cannon.
Second, change the plot of the protagonist Ikoma into Kabaneri.
Third, changing the patriarch of the ruling family of Xianjinyi, Sifang Chuanjian, made death a reality in Kabane.
Among these three ideas, the first one requires corresponding professional skills, and the second and third ideas actually coincide with everyone's first and second main line tasks. If it is said to be in the process of completing the task,
If you can complete a hidden mission while doing it, why not do it?
…
In this way, four days have passed.
According to the intelligence given by Li Shu in advance, everyone worked together to keep an eye on Juncheng's orbit and the movements of the protagonist Ikoma.
Leaving aside Juncheng's side, the relationship between everyone and the protagonist Ikoma is handled very well.
As the protagonist of this world, Ikoma has a radical character that is different from the gradually numb world.
He longs to one day wipe out all Kabane. (Whether he can really do this is unknown.)
As long as everyone is as radical as Ikoma and agrees with his views, they will naturally gain Ikoma's favor.
At the same time, on Li Shu's side, during his regular duty every day, he would always rely on dreams to come true and mantras to brainwash the samurai in his team, and then run out of Xianjin Station alone to encircle and suppress Kabane.
Under the overwhelming force, the number of Kabane around Xianjin Station was drastically reduced, and it was even said that Li Shu had to go farther away from Xianjin Station to hunt Kabane.
As for the results, they were naturally gratifying. On the third day after Li Shu came to this world, he collected 50,000 source points for newcomers' welfare.
In other words, Li Shu has killed more than 5,000 Kabane!
After that, Li Shu's hunting of Kabane did not relax.
The main reason is still the mission description of the first main line.
[Personal main story 1: Kill 10 Kabane, additional rewards will be given based on the quantity and quality of the kills. 】
Although there is no specific explanation of how many rewards will be given for how many kills, the more the merrier, right?
Li Shu's goal is to kill all of them first and then kill them all.
As a novice, it is really exciting to think about what kind of rewards will be given when passing the evaluation after killing a monster of the level of Kabane.
As for the first main mission of his teammates, Li Shu already had a plan in mind after understanding that the power of his mantra had a brainwashing effect. This matter was no longer a big deal in Li Shu's eyes.
After finishing what he is doing, he will naturally help his teammates complete their tasks.
In the evening, after Li Hu completed his work, he returned to the gathering place.
Everyone looked excited and said, "Li Shu! What you said is indeed true! Helping Ikoma complete the penetration ahead of schedule is indeed a hidden mission!"
"Well? Are you done?" Li Shu said with some surprise.
The protagonist of the original work, Ikoma, completed the development of the tunnel as a professional technical geek.
How can He De, his useless teammates, have the ability to help the protagonist complete the production of props in advance?
"Don't underestimate the otaku! Although I have never practiced it, I was obsessed with these things for a while. I have done some research, and I still have some theoretical skills." Liu Yu puffed up his chest and said with great pride:
"Under my guidance, Ikoma got inspiration and the cannon was developed smoothly."
"Uh...really?" Li Shu scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Yes, yes!" Everyone nodded and said excitedly: "Although it can't be seen from the outside, Liu Yu's technical knowledge is quite rich."
"I see, that's really congratulations." Li Shu said with a smile.
There is no doubt that this is a lie.
Although the technology tree of this era is not too high, how can a person who has only studied mechanical engineering for a while and does not have the corresponding professional knowledge guide a professional technical geek.
I guess it's because Liu Yu has similar talents or skills.
It seemed that not only Li Shu had reservations, but others also cleverly concealed some of their talents and abilities.
And I don't know if it was because Li Shu was always busy hunting Kabane outside Xianjinyi, but he had unknowingly drawn an invisible boundary with everyone headed by Liu Yu and Jiang Yi.
Even the little girl Li Shu helped initially is now close to Liu Yu and Jiang Yi.
But it doesn't matter. It was just a grassroots team that was forced by the general environment to set up a temporary team. Whether they can see each other again after this mission is also a question. They have their own plans, so why doesn't Li Shu have his own plans?
"By the way, all participants in this hidden mission will be rewarded. Those of us who helped the domain masters gave each of us one thousand source points, while Liu Yu was awarded three thousand source points." Jiang Yi saw that Li Shu was interested in everything.
He continued without saying anything.
"Eh?!" Li Shu opened his eyes and said in a long tone: "So much? If we have a thousand source points, it doesn't matter even if our first main mission is not completed. Damn it! If I had known, I would have fought hard.
I don’t want to be called a samurai anymore, I want to work with you to help Ikoma develop the cannon!"
Li Shu looked annoyed.
Li Shu couldn't tell what Jiang Yi meant by these words, but it was all a show, and Li Shu didn't want the persona he had built in front of them to collapse just yet.
"Damn it!!!" Li Shu hammered his knees in annoyance, looking like he was about to cry.
"Li Shu, don't be so depressed. When the plot point appears, as long as we surround Ikoma and prevent him from turning into Kabaneri, you still have a chance to complete a hidden mission." Looking at Li Shu like this, Jiang Yi
He quickly comforted me.
"..." Li Shu covered his face and remained silent, as if he was still frustrated that he had not participated in the hidden mission.
While Li Shu was covering his face, Jiang Yi took the opportunity to look back at everyone and nodded slightly.
Immediately afterwards, everyone supported Li Shu and brought him to his bed, put him down and left.
…
Outside the house, Jiang Yi and Liu Yu stood side by side and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"What do you think of that guy's performance?"
"Emotionally, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just a bit strange that we didn't ask about the reward immediately after knowing that we completed the hidden mission. However, this can also be understood as not expecting the reward to be so generous. After all, it doesn't matter whether we have it or not.
The existence itself is something close to completion." Jiang Yi analyzed.
"But I always feel that there is something wrong with that guy." Liu Yu said: "From the first meeting to now, except just now, he has been too calm."
Finally, Liu Yu added:
"He was so calm that it made people think that his performance just now was just an act."
"I think so too." Jiang Yi nodded and said.
"But no matter what, at least so far Li Shu is harmless to us. It can even be said that he can become the sharpest knife in our hands and help us achieve a high-level customs clearance evaluation." Liu Yu said.
"Yes." Jiang Yi also nodded.
The two parties reached an agreement a long time ago because they are both otakus and have a lot of information. They want to become stronger and then carve out their own world in the infinite field!
Of course, only they themselves know what they think in their hearts.
…
inside the house
Li Shu was lying on the mat, and his five senses that were beyond ordinary people made him aware of the strangeness of Jiang Yi and Liu Yu. Although he didn't know what they were planning, there was a high probability that they had already doubted him.
As for why they didn't break through the window paper, it's most likely because they wanted to use themselves as guns.
There was no way, although he thought that his acting skills just now were quite good, but in many cases once suspicion arose, it was not so easy to get rid of it.
But there's nothing I can do about it. I didn't pay attention to too many details before, and by the time I noticed it, it had already been noticed by someone who was interested.
Even if you provide various remedial explanations afterwards, it will look like sophistry to outsiders.
Man is a selfish and arrogant creature.
They will alienate people who are stronger than themselves, but they will try to use their own wisdom to use others as guns.
However, Li Shu was not angry because he would do the same thing if he were in their shoes.
So, regarding Jiang Yi and Liu Yu's plot, was it a conspiracy planned because Li Shu was unaware of it, or was it a conspiracy planned based on Li Shu's character based on the understanding that Li Shu was aware of it?
