The Second Summoning
"Ah... what a terrible day," Mu Xiaoxiao opened the door with a lack of energy and walked in, "I'm back... well, it's hard to say whether it was bad luck or good fortune..."
Nan Xiaoniao was so embarrassed by Li Shen's fall that he became as shy and timid as Hua Yang, and in the end, he could only thank him and leave hastily.
Thank you? You gave me benefits and thanked me? Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to complain, but seeing Nan Xiaoniao leaving, she could only sigh helplessly.
"Xiao Xiao, you're back?" The little dog beast ran out of the room, "Huh? Aren't those sisters coming too?"
Ever since they gathered at Muxiaoxiao's house last time, Kousaka Honoka and the others would come here to play whenever they had nothing to do. As a result, Xiaobeast also became familiar with them. Today, seeing only Muxiaoxiao alone, she asked in surprise.
"Hmm, they're not coming," said Mu Xiaoxiao with a flushed face, realizing how embarrassing it was for them to come. How could they possibly still want to come? Mu Xiaoxiao stroked the little dog's head and picked her up in one motion, "Little Dog Beast, do you like those big sisters?"
"Yes," said Xiaobeast, rubbing against Muxiao's chest, "I feel that those big sisters are all good people, so Xiaobeast likes them very much..."
Suang Nuo Guo, you've been carded! Mu Xiao Xiao walked into the room with a small dog in her arms, waving a bag in her hand. "I bought some food back, let's eat..." She suddenly froze, discovering that the system had sent over a message, and hurriedly opened it to check.
"The reward has been received... It seems that seven days have passed in the world of Dragon Quest...". Xiao Xiao opened the package and saw that the diamonds and crystals had increased significantly. He stroked his chin, "Indeed... The time flow rate is different between the instance world and the main world. It's been several months here, I reckon it's only been a day or two over there."
"Let's not talk about this issue for now, I'm also considered to have escaped from being poor and white..."
Diamond: 490
Crystal: 190
Battle Points: 350
Shards: 35
Energy Fragment: 70
Alloy Fragment: 40
Chaos Shards: 10
Soul Fragment: 30
The diamond can't move yet, and Xiao Xiao is preparing to collect diamonds to exchange for something that can help Qi Shi solve the side effects of seeing Jigu. The crystal can't be exchanged for anyone powerful at present, and the battle points are still stored. Ability is not needed temporarily, and currently this copy world doesn't have any danger, even if there is, just the electromagnetic cannon is enough to cope with it.
"So... let's use the random draw card first," looking at the six random draw cards in the package, Xiao Xiao sat down on the chair and tapped one of the cards with her hand.
"Drip, does the host use random draw cards?"
"Go ahead..."
"Congratulations, host has obtained the prop [Costume Camera]."
Is this a camera for changing clothes? Looking at the camera in her hand, Mu Xiao froze for a moment. Isn't this a gadget from Doraemon? Although it's just for changing clothes, its actual use is quite significant. At least, the costumes that Sang Nianhua and others wear on stage... If they see this, their eyes will definitely pop out! I don't know if being lucky enough to get this is good or bad luck...
But... this thing should be able to trick people. Looking at the camera in my hand, this camera is where you put clothes drawn on paper inside, 'click' and change clothes with one key. What if it's a band-aid? A swimsuit? Or directly **? On the street, look at who doesn't look good and 'click'... Cough cough, so evil...
"Drip, does the host use random draw card * 5?"
"It is..."
"Congratulations, host has obtained items: Energy Potion*5, Energy Potion*2, Life Potion*3, Recovery Potion*2, Character: Lu Jiao."
"So many medicines?" Seeing the extra dozen or so bottles of medicine in the package, Mu Xiao's mouth twitched, "You just want me to take that much medicine? Damn system..." But when he heard the last one, he was stunned, "Character? After giving so many medicines, a character finally came, and my luck has reversed? However... Deer Horn? What kind of character is this? Never heard of it before..."
Just as Xiao Xiao was thinking, the room suddenly lit up with a bright light, startling the little dog beast who was happily filling its belly. It looked vigilantly at the white light in the center and asked, "Xiao Xiao? What is this?"
"Don't worry, it's our companion, Xiao Shou," Mu Xiaoxiao patted her little head and comforted.
After the light dissipated, a girl wearing a black and white maid outfit, to be precise, a servant's attire, with pale purple long hair tied up, with two strands hanging down on either side, and a black headpiece resembling deer antlers on her head, gazed at him with wine-red pupils as calm as an ancient well. Upon seeing this person, Mu Xiaoxiao, who was still bewildered, immediately widened her eyes.
"Wait a minute...... this person...... seems familiar...... Let me think......" After pressing her temples, Xiao Xiao thought for a moment before suddenly slapping her palm, "I'm going to...... isn't that the autonomous humanoid from Boundary Line, Lu Jiao?" Saying automatic puppet might be more understandable, unexpectedly it's Boundary Line again?
"Alas, Bentai no Shoushou is also quite unfortunate. Not only did I take the Kokoro no Tsurugi from him, but even the automatic doll he made in his wife's likeness... Alas, alas..."
"In the name of Shika no Tsuno," said the ojou-sama in front of him, bowing her head slightly, "I am my master's automaton. As for what my master calls Tonomura Tadakatsu, who might that be?"
"....Well, it doesn't matter who it is, don't mind," Mu Xiao sighed, "If we're talking about androids, I still prefer Musashi over Lù Jiǎo... what a pity... eh?"
The words had barely left his lips when a dangerous glint appeared in the crimson pupils of Kaku's eyes, "As the master's automaton, I couldn't possibly ignore those words. Who is this Musashi anyway? To have earned the master's praise and expectations... I hope to engage her in a duel, to settle the matter once and for all! Let the master see who is superior!"
"Don't...don't get too excited!" Mu Xiaoxiao hastily comforted, "It's just talk, just talk, and I also really like Lu Jiao's..."
"Is it? That's good."
"...Huh," he wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead, and Mu Xiaoxiao let out a sigh of relief. Suddenly, she thought of something and warned Lu Jiao, "Lu Jiao, don't use your abilities in this world, especially not where there are people... or else you'll alarm the entire world..."
"Yes," Deer Antlers nodded, "I understand, but what does Master mean by this world?"
"About this..." Mu Xiao and Lu Jiao explained simply.
"Little one, is this big sister our new family member?" The puppy blinked her eyes, looking at Lu Jiao with some trepidation, shrinking her head slightly. After all, Lu Jiao's expressionless face was indeed somewhat intimidating to her.
"That's right," Mu Xiao smiled, "Don't be afraid, Lu Jiao isn't a bad person, from today on she is also our family..."
"Objection," the deer suddenly interrupted their conversation, "from a structural standpoint, I am merely my master's automaton, from a positional standpoint, I am my master's maid, and not..."
"Alright, alright," Mu Xiao rubbed her temples, which were starting to ache, "since it's all the same, there's no need to say more. You're my maid, so you're also a member of my family. Fine, I'll go tidy up your room first..."
"...family..." muttered the servant girl with deer-like horns, raising her head, "No need to, I can do it myself. As a maid, doing household chores is a necessary condition..."
Watching Lu Jiao tidy up the house with ease, Mu Xiaoxiao felt a bit satisfied. From now on, she wouldn't have to tidy up her room every day, which was really great.
