Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 93: Did I break the rules in the kitchen?

Although the fighting power of the rats was beyond Alice's imagination, and there were bad guys among the people, the outcome of the battle would not change. Alice didn't even need to unlock the third skill [Heroic Pursuit] to defeat the rats.

"Oh!"

As the last slash of courage fell, Rat K, who had lost all his companions, wanted to kill the thief but was powerless to do anything. He could only watch with grief and anger as a huge damage number appeared above his head. Then he died and followed the other rats.

A series of pop-up prompts appeared in front of me:

[You defeated the pathogen rat K]

[You gained 200 experience points]

[You have conquered the dungeon: The Prosperous Secret Realm, Rostin Underground Garden]

"Huh!" The golden-haired brave put away the holy sword with a handsome move and said confidently: "It's so easy, no difficulty at all!"

Is it really?

Maybe it was turned into data residue.

Immediately they were scared and fled in all directions.

Metien looked at the blood bar above her head and wisely remained silent.

Alice saw this scene and couldn't help but complain: "Why don't we just catch these guys back? They're all going to die anyway, so why not let them die in our pot?"

The plants that had escaped before came back when they saw that the situation had calmed down. The picky radishes, crying mushrooms, fried gallbladders, and some vegetables that Alice couldn't recognize, all surrounded the stone elves, shouting and jumping, making noise and noise. But from what they were shouting, it was clear that they were not celebrating their victory, nor were they watching the duel. Instead, they were urging the gardeners to plant them back into the soil as soon as possible, and loosen the soil, water them, and fertilize them. Otherwise, they would die in front of you.

[LV30 Brave-Alice HP102/950]

But Shemi didn't have time to care about these little things because she was in a hurry.

After completing the dungeon, the pixel world built by the gaming organization began to collapse, disintegrating into countless 0s and 1s. When the complex information flows in the sky gradually merged into nothingness, the scene of the fairy garden reappeared in front of everyone. However, after being ravaged by the pathogenic rats, it looked a little messy. Several ancient crystalline trees were knocked down, and several fields were ravaged into potholes. Not to mention the scattered flowers, leaves and dust.

The bodies of the rats that had been smashed into mosaics by the stone warriors were of course still there, challenging the lower limit of human aesthetics, but the rats that had died heroically after being pulled into the game world did not leave any traces, just like Fiyali who had died under the sword of the founding god.

"Let's go back!" The fairy maid grabbed her basket and said to the two of them hurriedly, "We have to tell Big Sister what happened here!"

In contrast, except for Alice, everyone else's health bars were full and basically never dropped.

"Ah? You're going back now." Alice was a little disappointed: "You're not going to pick vegetables?"

The rats were thin-skinned and big-bodied... I mean, they had little health and low defense. They were hit one by one by Alice and the stone warriors. After a few rounds, they lost their numerical advantage and could not pose any threat, so their victory was a matter of course.

Medien also took great efforts to continuously apply [Simple Bandage] to her, triggering the recovery effect of [Herbal Mastery], and coordinating with the continuous recovery HOT. Only by taking these three measures together could Alice's blood volume be maintained in a healthy state. At this moment, the pink-haired girl missed her brother's [Devotion] of healing 200 HP in one breath.

After destroying the enemy, the tall and majestic rock giant automatically separated into countless stones, and then reassembled into smaller stone spirits. However, perhaps due to an accident during the assembly process, the heads of two stone spirits were attached to each other's bodies, so they wrestled with each other, trying to get their heads back, while the other stone spirits just stood there and watched, with no intention of stopping them.

Perhaps because she was too good at attracting hatred, the pathogen rats ignored everyone else and attacked Alice crazily. Although the damage of a single rat was not high, the total damage was considerable - and there was also a fairy lady who seemed to be an insider who would give them two buffs from time to time to strengthen them. After a few rounds, Alice was terrified and never dared to underestimate the rats again.

The health of the candle in the wind.

"What a bunch of fence-sitters."

By the way, although Miss Shemi's [Random Strange Transformation] is very cunning in most cases, such as increasing the rats' defense, increasing the rats' attacks, restoring the rats' health... it almost makes Alice suspect that she is a rat lover, but it occasionally triggers some very useful effects, like the time it directly froze the rats for a round, helping Alice to catch her breath. For this reason, she was not deprived of the right to continue using skills.

She also wanted to pick a few fried gall bladders to play with. It would be best if she could take them back secretly to scare Lingge and see if his always calm expression would be frightened by the fried gall bladders.

"Oh, now is not the time to do this!"

Xie Mi didn't know what Alice was thinking. As he walked back, he said, "The magic maze lock set by my elder sister was broken by the plague rats. It is the core component that maintains the internal environment of the hotel and isolates it from external detection. If it is not repaired in time, not only will the magic plants in the hotel be affected, but it may also be discovered by the night watchmen patrolling nearby. That would be terrible!" "Really?"

Alice scratched her cheek: There's nothing we can do about it.

Lingge, you saved your life.

……

The three of them took the mine cart they came in. After returning to the surface, Xie Mi couldn't wait to jump out of the cart, pushed open the back door of the kitchen, and shouted in a rather uncivilized manner: "Big sister, big sister, something bad happened!"

When she broke into the kitchen, Shesta was cutting a strange fruit in front of the stove. Every time she cut it, the fruit would scream in pain, which made people feel scared. But she remained indifferent, even smiling and humming an unknown song, as if she was looking forward to tonight's banquet.

After hearing her sister's voice, she stopped cutting the fruit and gave the poor guy some time to breathe. Then she turned around and set her eyes on Xie Mi, who looked anxious. She still smiled and said in a very gentle voice: "Hey~ Xie Mi, didn't I teach you not to make loud noises in the kitchen? Especially in front of the guests, have you forgotten what I said?"

Her smile seemed to become even brighter, her eyebrows and eyes curved into crescents, but it gave people an inexplicable chill, especially the sharp fruit knife in her hand. The tip of the knife was still dripping with a suspicious dark red liquid (actually fruit juice), which made people feel even more horrified.

"!?"

Xie Mi suddenly stopped in his tracks, shuddered, and turned pale. Alice and Metien simply hid behind the door, not daring to show their faces.

"What a terrible woman." Alice whispered.

Metien also whispered, "But Miss Shesta is very beautiful."

"Metien, you have to remember that the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie."

"Oh."

……

Shesta glanced behind the door, her smile unchanged: "Do you know you are wrong, Shemy?"

Xie Mi held the basket in both hands, lowered his head, and said honestly: "I know, I shouldn't make so much noise in the kitchen and affect everyone's work."

Xiesta reached out her hand and rubbed her little head: "I'm glad to know. Then, what happened to make our lovely little Xiemi so anxious?"

"It's because the magic maze you set up in the underground garden has been broken."

Shemy told Shesta what had happened, including the magical "game magic" Alice had used, but for some reason, she concealed the part where she had an argument with Metien. At the end, she muttered, "Those mice were so stupid before that they couldn't find the location of the garden. How come they were able to break the maze today? It must be the work of the night watchman, hum!"

Alice, who was hiding behind the door, suddenly shuddered for some reason.

"What's wrong, Sister Alice?"

"Nothing, just a little cold."

"Then you need to wear two more pieces of clothing."

"Let's talk about it later, Lingge, when you can buy it for me. I don't have any money."

"I can lend it to you!"

"Wow, Metien, you are such a good girl!"

"Hey hey hey."

　Give me some meow
