Reincarnated in a different world, the main job is the villager, the side job is the devil king

Chapter 208 The treasure chest will automatically open when it senses danger.
This was the first time Xia Mi saw the interior of a lake so clearly and in all directions.

The surrounding lake water is sparkling.

A line of black characters appeared in front of Xia Mi.

[The fishman feels hungry, fill the fishman’s belly and get the experience points needed for upgrading! 】

[Tips: Creatures smaller than yourself are easier to hunt. 】

"Isn't this just a first-person perspective game where the big fish eats the little fish?!"

Xia Mi exclaimed.

However, in this case, the operation will be very easy to get started.

Under the control of Xia Mi's magic power, the small red fish began to swim in the lake.

Dozens of species of fish live in the clean and clear lake water, as well as many aquatic plants.

Xia Mi saw a small fish the size of his thumb in the lake at a glance. He controlled the red fish and pounced on it.

【Eating a small juvenile fish】

【Increased satiety value】

【Experience value +10】

Seeing the increase in experience points, Xia Mi continued to eat fish immersedly.

【Eat a small fish】

【Eat a small fish】

[Level upgrade: 1→2]

【drop】

Just when Xia Mi was having fun, another reminder came.

[The fish-eating behavior of red fish in lakes is frequently witnessed, the fear of other fish is +10, and it takes 1 day to forget]

[The name of the small red fish 'piscivorous fish' gradually spread in this lake]

[The little red fish is in a depressed mood]

When the prompt disappears, visible to the naked eye, the fish in the entire lake hide far away, isolating the small red fish.

"Ah? It's actually a small lake society? But it seems quite reasonable."

Xia Mi had no choice but to stop thinking about the big fish eating the small fish.

Considering that the little red fish will have to survive in this lake for a while in the future, it is better to deal with the relationship with other fish.

If you forget the time, just wait a day before eating fish.

Xia Mi looked at it and saw that the little red fish was not full yet and could eat more.

He controlled the small fish to swim around at the bottom of the lake, eating the plankton in the lake, the water plants on the bottom of the lake, and the earthworms in the lake mud, and took the cans from the bottom of the lake to the shore.

[The little red fish’s understanding of this lake has improved to a home level]

[Honor: The little red fish won the title of environmental guardian in this lake]

[Environmental Guardian: The little red fish has developed a concept of environmental protection and will pay special attention to environmental issues in its own territory in the future]

"It always feels a little ironic that a little fish that was mutated and contaminated by crystal residue became an environmental guardian."

Xia Mi murmured.

Not long after, I saw a black fish the size of an arm swimming slowly at the bottom of the lake. The black fish had two rows of sharp teeth. No fish around him dared to approach.

Most of the fish in the lake are herbivorous fish, but the one in front of me is obviously an omnivorous and partial carnivorous freshwater fish.

[Snakehead fish: It is a ferocious carnivorous fish by nature. Generally speaking, black fish will eat any small fish. 】

[Limited mission activation: Save the lake, fish brave! 】

[This lake has been invaded by an alien snakehead fish for half a month.In the absence of natural predators, this is a food paradise for snakehead fish. More than one-third of the small fish are eaten by snakehead fish.Save this lake from the Blackfish Demon King! 】

"What the hell, why do I, a demon king, receive a mission from a hero!"

Xia Mi frowned and chose to accept.

This lake is the development territory of the small red fish. The fish in it must achieve sustainable development, so that the small red fish can have sufficient food sources.

The snakehead fish that will damage the lake environment can only be eliminated.

Xia Mi controls the red fish to challenge the black fish.

The size of the two fish is really quite different.

When the little red fish was only the size of a palm, the black fish was already the size of a normal human forearm.

It looks like the winner has been decided before the game even begins.

"But you are a fish-man. How can a fish-man contaminated by magic crystal not be able to defeat an ordinary black fish?"

Xia Mi encouraged next to the red fish.

"Ah woo, ah woo!"

The little red fish rushed over.

The small red fish had three or four scales bitten off by the black fish, and blood flowed out.

The small red fish was swung by the black fish and fell directly to the bottom of the lake.

Xia Mi frowned.

Too weak.

Now it seems that this little red fish really has nothing to do with the fish-men.

I despise it, but I still have to save it.

"Trick it to the lake!"

Xia Mi said in a message.

In the lake, the small red fish tossed a few times on the bottom of the lake and rushed to the surface.

The black fish followed closely behind, opening its mouth full of fangs.

After the small red fish jumped out of the lake, the black fish also jumped out of the lake, seeming to bite the small red fish in mid-air.

At this moment, Xia Mi, who had been waiting on the shore for a long time, took action.

Holding a long shovel in both hands, he swung the shovel like a baseball bat.

Pong!
The shovel collided with the black fish, making a crisp sound. As Xia Mi exerted his strength, the shovel swung in a perfect arc, and the black fish flew directly to the shore on the other side of the lake, hitting the trunk of a tree.

"Homerun! Did you see Blackfish? This is the exciting combination of the Demon King and the Fishman!"

Xia Mi clenched his fists excitedly and looked at the small red fish on the lake.

[Limited mission completed! 】

【Evaluation: S】

[Type: Fishman]

【Level: 2→4】

[The fishman defeated one of the overlords of the small lake and established a lot of reputation in the small lake. 】

As the level increased, when the little red fish surfaced, it was already the size of two palms, the teeth in its mouth had grown a lot, and the scales that had been bitten on its body had grown back.

"That's right. Then you can grow in this lake safely for a while."

Xia Mi squatted on the shore and nodded with satisfaction.

"Just now was the moment when the fishmen and the devil fought side by side for the first time. Let future fishmen historians remember this moment well."

Just when Xia Mi handed over the red fish, four girls wearing San Carno School uniforms had come to the lakeside, stood behind Xia Mi, leaned forward, and looked over curiously.

"Xia Mi, did your stuff fall into the lake? Remember to say it's the original stuff, so you can get the gold and silver ones."

A warm reminder from the elf girl.

"Where did this fairy tale come from?"

Only then did Xia Mi realize that there were four more girls around him. He cut off the connection with the little red fish and let the little red fish survive in the lake by itself before standing up.

After the five people said goodbye at the school gate in the morning, they didn't meet again until now.

Coming to the side with the four girls, Xia Mi asked them with concern about the start of school today.

"How is campus life?"

These words seemed to touch the sadness in the hearts of the four girls. Except for the magical girl, the faces of the remaining three girls gradually darkened.The elf girl remembered the bad memories and quickly checked back.

"We should have gotten rid of them. We have already made sure to get rid of the group of Assassin Academy guys who were following us in the city..."

"Why were you being followed by people from the Assassin Academy on your first day, Lulea?!"

The white-haired girl swallowed fearfully.

"Xia Xia Xia Mi, can you afford the medical expenses for more than 300 people?"

"What did you do!"

Xia Mi's eyes immediately moved from the flat golden hair to the white hair.

Bai Mao was still nervous.

"Maybe it's not necessary... The teacher said that it's understandable to be injured. After all, it's a competition, but this is the first time I've seen so many people injured..."

The dragon girl also looked like she was dying.

"School or whatever, it's not fun at all..."

"You look exhausted, it's just the first day of school!"

Xia Mi frowned and looked over, and found that except for the magical girl's little face, which was slightly normal, the remaining three girls' faces were full of haggard expressions.

Seeing that the four of them were in poor condition, Xia Mi didn't feel comfortable asking anything in public.

Only two people can talk openly about the troubles that occurred while going to school.

It seemed that he had to find another time to enlighten the four girls one by one in private.

Xia Mi came to the woods with four girls.

He brought four girls here this time. In addition to learning about the four girls' start of school, the more important purpose was to clear up the mess left behind during the crusade against Bitriel.

After the crusade against Bitriel, 99% of the mess had been cleaned up, leaving only the last thing left to deal with——

The treasure chest found in the Bitril Cave.

Xia Mi took out this old treasure box. Although it was taken out from the garbage dump at the time, the treasure box exuded a stench everywhere, but after the externalization of the flat golden retriever's [self-purification], the outside of the treasure box was cleaned.

This is a treasure chest with a dark black overall color, carved appearance, and good overall appearance.

In the week or two after the crusade against Bitriel, Xia Mi had been studying how to open this treasure chest.

I believe that there must be many treasures in this treasure box hidden deep in the cave by Bitril.

But Xia Mi never found a way to open the treasure chest. Later, because of the magical girl incident, he forgot about the treasure chest and kept it in the Demon King's Ring.

Now, Xia Mi plans to learn from everyone's strengths. Since he has no idea to unlock this treasure box, he will let his magic girls give it a try.

"Since school is so tiring, let's relax and play some games that will make your heart beat faster."

When the white-haired girl heard that it was a small game, she subconsciously wanted to find the waterfall curtain.

"If there is no waterfall curtain, then go inside the tree hole!"

Everyone failed to follow the white-haired girl's thoughts for a while.

"Why is Lena so obsessed with the waterfall curtain?"

"The most heart-pounding thing is opening a treasure chest."

Xia Mi placed the treasure chest in front of the people gathered in a circle.

"This is the treasure chest that I got from Bitriel. Now give everyone a chance to try to open the treasure chest."

"To put it bluntly, Xia Mi can't open it by himself!"

The elf girl next to Xia Mi looked past everything.

Xia Mi remained silent.

The treasure box opening session begins.

The white-haired girl felt a little regretful.

Compared to opening the treasure chest, I still find [full body mouth massage] to be more heart-beating.

However, since it was Xia Mi's request, the white-haired girl still started to think.

"As for the treasure chest, you can probably just split it open with a sword. If it's under a huge threat, it might open automatically."

"Lena's proposal was saved for last."

Xia Mi's emotionless voice followed closely.

It's not like I haven't considered this aspect before, but if there is a magic set in the treasure box that will automatically destroy the contents when it is violently dismantled, then all the time spent exploring it will be in vain.

"The treasure chest that automatically opens to the enemy has lost the meaning of the treasure chest."

The magical girl interjected.

"This seems to be a treasure chest with a password."

The elf girl looked forward at the treasure box. There was something similar to a combination lock on the front of the treasure box. She studied it for a while and then looked at the purple-haired girl beside her.

"Then let Elze come. She is from the Academy of Wise Men and must have relevant decryption knowledge."

"Why are you looking at me so naturally! It's just my first day here! Is this your proposal, Lulea!"

The purple-haired girl took a step forward, looked at the treasure box carefully, and then looked at the magical girl seriously.

"Since it's a treasure chest, maybe Saili has the relevant magic to solve it?"

"It's already become a kicking ball game for you three!"

Xia Mi looked at the magical girl.

The magical girl slowly crossed her arms and thought for a while.

"Does any of you have anything left by Bitrile? It's best to have hair. I'll learn the reanimation magic and ask him if he can."

The girls shook their heads.

“It feels like a big project.”

After learning from everyone's strengths, Xia Mi didn't get any feasible advice at all. Looking at the treasure box, Xia Mi decided to use the original method, which he had never tried before, and took out an axe.

"My method was adopted!"

The white-haired girl raised her hands happily.

The crowd looked forward to it.

He raised the ax to his head with both hands to gather strength, and was about to drop it to split the treasure box open. The treasure box placed in the middle of the four people suddenly moved. After a noise, the treasure box opened automatically.

The treasure box was dark inside, as if there was a curtain. Suddenly, a pair of eyes appeared in the darkness.

At the same time, a voice came from the treasure chest.

"Wait a minute! Everyone! I'll open it automatically! Don't hurt an innocent Mimic! Mimics and demons have actually cooperated!"

"The treasure chest has spoken!"×4
Xia Mi put down his ax in surprise and looked at the treasure box in front of him.

"Who are you and why can a treasure chest talk?"

The front of the treasure chest is facing Xia Mi, and Xia Mi speculates that this is the face of the treasure chest.

"Ah, because I am a Mimic. Does the Mimic know that?"

Xia Mi frowned.

He had clearly used detection before to detect information on the treasure box, and what was displayed at that time was an ordinary treasure box.

"Why did I get the information that you are an ordinary treasure chest?"

The voice of the Mimic in front of me seemed a little proud.

"Of course it's because the Mimic family has a unique disguise ability that can even deceive the devil. Mimics generally have two states. In the ordinary treasure box state, it is exactly the same as an ordinary treasure box. In the Mimic state, there are The vitality fluctuates. This is our Mimic clan’s trick to trick the adventure group into coming and then counterattack them when they are not prepared!”

Xia Mi touched the treasure box in front of him.

[Race: Mimic]

[Current status: Survival]

Xia Mi believed what the Mimic Monster in front of him said.

[Minks can freely switch between the status of Mimics and Treasure Boxes. Only in the Mimics state can relevant Mimic information be obtained. 】

It seems that the Demon King's detection is not omnipotent at all times.
