Crying hotly by myself every day [future]

Augustin was a little impatient and decided to forcibly drag the village chief away. At this moment, the hunting team leader quickly rushed up, pulled the village chief away, and persuaded in a low voice: "Village chief, don't influence Augustin. My lord, save the pepper."

The village head trembled all over, and stopped crying. His eyes were like light bulbs, so bright that it was heart-palpitating. He murmured: "Yes, the Pepper King is not dead yet, I have to save it quickly."

But how to save it.

The village chief was confused, so he could only focus on the villagers who were the best at growing peppers in the village. Before he could speak, he heard Augustin say, "Get out of the way."

Augustin's eyes were so dark that it made people horrified. For some reason, the villagers felt a little flustered for no reason.

Augustin frowned unconsciously, picked up the pepper king, and came to the river, stirring it in the river continuously like rinsing mutton.

Seeing this scene, the villagers almost went into a rage.

There is no such abuse of the pepper king.

The village chief came over tremblingly, his eyes were red, but he didn't say a word, his heart was full of self-blame, which made him feel a little chest tight and out of breath.

Zhou Baizhe felt that he was in the cold and flowing water, and those water droplets circled around him happily, constantly invading into the dry leaves.

Soon, the leaves slowly returned to their former supple appearance, and the rhizomes were no longer dry, so tender that water could be squeezed out.

Zhou Baizhe absorbed the water crazily, gulping down the water, the sweet water was very delicious, and it seemed to contain unknown ingredients, which made it itchy all over, the leaves gradually withered and turned yellow, and finally fell off, dissipating with the river water.

However, at this moment, new leaves grow again...

Zhou Baizhe, who had just had a full drink, opened his eyes and saw this scene. He almost choked up in fright, flapped the branches and leaves, and shouted loudly: "Stop, stop, stop messing up, I'm going to vomit."

On the shore, when the villagers heard this angry voice, they naturally understood what happened, and cheered immediately.

Great, the chili king is all right!

The hearts of the villagers immediately fell back to their original place.

The village chief was sitting on the ground, crying, muttering to himself, "Fortunately, King Pepper is fine."

Augustin quickly pulled Zhou Bozhe up and put him on the shore.

The wet leaves hang down and stick tightly to the pepper seedlings, making the little peppers look very pitiful at this moment.

The first thing Zhou Baizhe did when he went ashore was to look down at his own leaves.

The villagers obviously also noticed that something was wrong with King Pepper, and they all opened their mouths in disbelief.

The leaves of the king pepper...seem to be smaller?

It used to be only [-] centimeters tall, but now it has shrunk down to only [-] centimeters. It can be called a real pocket plant.

The village head thought that the change of the Pepper King was entirely caused by being exposed to the sun too much. With a mournful face, he choked up and said, "It's all my fault, which caused the Pepper King to become like this."

After Zhou Baizhe was surprised, he quickly opened the character panel and glanced at his attributes.

After staring at the level for a long time, Zhou Baizhe swallowed, almost thinking that he was hallucinating.

what happened?

He was inexplicably promoted from level five to level six?

During this period, he obviously didn't eat any crystal nuclei.

After Zhou Baizhe thought for a few seconds, he vaguely remembered what happened underwater. Could it be—there is something wrong with the water?

"Spicy, Chili King, how do you feel? Is there any discomfort?" The village head calmed down and asked cautiously.

Zhou Baizhe came back to his senses, and said: "I'm fine now." After a slight pause, he comforted: "Village Chief, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't blame yourself too much."

In just a few short months, the village head has grown so old, Zhou Baizhe really couldn't bear to let the village head suffer another blow.

When the village chief heard the words, he showed a half-crying and half-smiling expression instead, "I see."

But everyone present could see that the village head was very upset and sad.

Everyone knows that what the Pepper King said was actually comforting. A pepper suddenly changed from thirty centimeters to more than ten centimeters.

For things like peppers, the taller they are, the stronger and healthier they are, but the king of peppers is so short that he is obviously malnourished.

But everyone couldn't say anything, they could only comfort the village chief, tell him to rest assured and take care of his health. If something happened to him, there would be no one in charge of the overall situation in the village.

The village chief also understood this truth, nodded, and suppressed the confusion in his heart, not wanting to worry the Pepper King any more.

Let's just let this matter out for the time being, and everyone agrees that they will no longer mention the matter of the Chili King becoming smaller, and even tell the youngsters in the family that they are not allowed to talk about this in front of the Chili King, so as not to hurt the old Chili's face.

The children in the village were very interested in the fact that King Chili became smaller, but the adults in the family kept it secret, which made the children even more curious.

Why did the omnipotent chili king suddenly become smaller?

The adults don't give an answer, and the children can only ask the person involved—no, it's the person involved.

"Chili King!"

Er Gouzi, who was pushed out by many children, blushed, and called out to Old Chili Grandpa who was watching the scenery in front of him softly,

I heard from the adults that the Pepper King is two thousand years old, and he is a very old, very old grandfather.

Zhou Baizhe broke away from the bright and sad state, and couldn't help smiling when he saw Er Gouzi, then stretched out the leaves uncontrollably, and touched Er Gouzi's trousers.

Zhou Baizhe twitched the corners of his mouth, since he became shorter, he can no longer touch the top of the child's head.

It's a really sad story.

Fortunately, when the children were naive and romantic, they didn't see Zhou Baizhe's little embarrassment at all. Instead, they sat on the ground and didn't dislike being dirty. Do I have a question for you?"

Zhou Baizhe froze for a moment, and it took him a while to recover, "You call me—Grandpa Pepper?"

He is still just a little fresh meat under 27, how can he become a grandpa's generation now?

Er Gouzi wasn't called Er Gouzi at all, but the family members felt that a cheap name was easy to support. After all, in this future era, danger abounds.

Er Gouzi nodded as it should, "Daddy said, you are already two thousand years old, so you must be a grandfather."

Zhou Baizhe's face was bloody as the three words "grandpa" kept circulating in his mind, and the leaves were trembling with anger.

Er Gouzi was a little uneasy, and then remembered that this Grandpa Pepper is very face-saving. He always doesn't like others to say that he is old, so he quickly changed his words: "I'm sorry, King Pepper."

Zhou Baizhe took a deep breath, the child was really not to blame for this matter, he patted the child's trousers, and comforted him: "It's okay, children say nothing, children say nothing."

Er Gouzi said cautiously: "Then can we still ask?"

Zhou Baizhe said exhausted physically and mentally: "Ask."

Only then did Er Gouzi look joyful, and said, "Why did you suddenly become so small and slender?"

For children, this is so strange that they can't figure out what's going on.

Zhou Baizhe choked up for a moment, he didn't know why, this child obviously had an innocent face, but he understood this pure words into another meaning.

Could it be that his thoughts are already so dirty?

Zhou Baizhe quickly stood up, raised his head and said to Er Gouzi, "I can't tell what's going on with this matter. I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

After finishing speaking, he immediately ran away, not daring to look at the group of children behind him, for fear that they would ask more nasty questions.

These are all the flowers of the motherland, so you can't let yourself be spoiled.

For children, Chili King is very powerful and powerful, and he is their most admired hero.

So when Zhou Baizhe proposed to leave, none of the children dared to stop,

Zhou Baizhe ran back to the flowerpot in Augustin's room, and after digging a hole and burying himself in it, the long-lost sense of security and tranquility finally returned, making Zhou Baizhe's comfortable leaves tremble.

Augustin happened to come back, opened the door and came in, glanced at the peppers in the flowerpot, and said, "Are you back?"

Zhou Baizhe sighed humanely, always feeling that this day was particularly unlucky, he was unable to move the leaves, "I think I should stay in the flower pot, the outside world is really too dangerous."

It will kill the dead pepper!

Augustine frowned, pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice, "It was I who put you in the sun this morning." After that, he apologized earnestly, "It was my negligence that left you outside for too long , that’s what happened.”

He felt that Pepper had the right to know this.

Zhou Baizhe was taken aback for a moment, staring at Augustin's extremely serious face, he couldn't help but twist the pepper seedlings, "I can't get used to you being so serious."

Augustin frowned more and more, and his tone became more serious, "This is my fault."

Zhou Baizhe quickly stretched out the leaves, and interrupted: "Stop, stop, why is this matter getting more and more serious."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Baizhe said again: "I guessed this matter long ago, and you don't need to apologize."

Only then did Augustin's brows relax, but his expression was still as cold as ever.

Zhou Baizhe thought about it, and decided to have a fight with Augustine.

"I have something I want to tell you."

When Augustine heard the words, he moved closer to Zhou Baizhe, squinted his eyes, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Baizhe stepped back unconsciously, trying to get away from the opponent's domineering aura, "Don't get so close to me."

Augustine raised his eyebrows, but he still backed away, taking the time to say, "Let's talk."

Zhou Baizhe breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his thoughts, and said, "Today...you threw me into the river, didn't you?"

Augustine nodded, motioning for Zhou Baizhe to continue talking.

Zhou Baizhe was a little distressed, and said, "I don't know why, but something changed when I was in the river."

Augustin sat up straight in an instant, his expression gradually serious.

Zhou Baizhe continued: "My rhizomes are constantly absorbing the river water, and there seems to be something there that makes my leaves fall off, and then I become smaller."

A look of doubt flashed in Augustin's eyes, which is strange.

Zhou Baizhe shook his own leaves, as if he could still recall what happened at that time, vividly in his mind, and said in a somewhat uncertain tone: "I suspect that there may be something in the river or in the soil, because - I drank The water queen was promoted instantly."

This news is undoubtedly like an atomic bomb. Even Augustin, who has always been calm, couldn't help but leak his emotions. He stood up abruptly, and his tone was unprecedentedly cold, "Are you sure?"

Zhou Baizhe also knew the seriousness of this matter, so he nodded decisively, "I'm sure my promotion has something to do with this water." The voice changed, "But I can't guarantee whether it's because of water or soil, or other reasons. .”

Augustine's eyes were deep, several plans flashed through his mind, and he finally said, "Let's go and find the village chief."

Zhou Baizhe didn't know what Augustin was going to do, but obediently dug himself out. As soon as his feet hit the ground, the whole chili seedling was lifted into the air.

Zhou Baizhe raised his heart in an instant, and quickly swung his limbs, "Augudin, let me go down quickly."

Now that he has become smaller, the whole world seems to have doubled in size. He obviously didn't feel much at this height before, but now he feels dizzy because it is too high.

This is like a human standing at a height of more than 80 meters and being lifted up without any protective measures. Even a bold person may not be able to keep calm.

Zhou Baizhe felt that he was doing pretty well if he didn't urinate.

This is just terrified.

Augustin had no choice but to quickly put the Pepper King on his shoulders, and said in a deep voice, "Grab it well."

Zhou Baizhe didn't need Augustin to say anything, the whole chili root entwined tightly around the opponent's neck, it was believed to be a tornado, unless Augustin was also blown away, nothing could separate himself from Augustin.

Outside, there was a slight breeze, and it was around three o'clock in the afternoon. The originally fierce sunlight had turned into a sunset. Although the weather was still a bit muggy, fortunately, there was still a cool breeze blowing in, bringing a burst of coolness.

Zhou Baizhe squinted his eyes in enjoyment, the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves was really wonderful, it made people drowsy and felt extremely peaceful.

Until Augustin came to the village chief's house and knocked on the door, "Village chief."

The door swung open, revealing the uneasy face of the village chief's wife. The village chief came out of the house and said, "Who is here?"

The village head's wife hurriedly said, "Yes, it's Lord Augustin."

The village head froze, and hurried to the door, and saw that the lord was standing at the door with the Pepper King, hurriedly greeted him into the house, ordered his wife to pour tea, and said a little anxiously: "I don't know if Lord Augustin needs anything. I did it?"

Augustin knocked on the table and said calmly, "Send someone to check the river to see if there is anything unusual."

As for the reason, Augustine did not say, it is best to keep this matter a secret for the time being, and it is not suitable to spread it to the outside world.

The village head didn't even ask what it was, he stood up and said, "Then I'll do it right away, then... besides this, is there anything else I need to do?"

Augustine also stood up and said, "It's all right, I'll go to the river to have a look later, this is very important, I tell everyone to search it carefully."

The village chief's heart trembled. Although he didn't know why Augustin paid so much attention to this river, he also realized that this matter must be cautious. Among them, there must be some important reason that he doesn't know, and he must not be negligent.

"Don't worry, I will search carefully." The village head patted his chest as a guarantee.

Only then did Augustin take his leave and leave. The village head looked away, and hurried out to collect people and various tools, ready to go to the river to search.

On the way, Augustine turned his head and said to Zhou Baizhe, "From the time I came out to the village chief's house, why didn't you say a word?"

That doesn't fit the style of this little pepper at all.

In Augustin's view, this little pepper has an extremely flamboyant style and the best face. He likes to be in the limelight, and he likes everyone to worship him, and he can't stop all the time.

More importantly, it has a lot of words.

But at this moment, it was so silent, which naturally made Augustine a little curious.

Zhou Baizhe can't hear Augustin's words at all now, because he is looking at the product description of the system.

Just after Augustin went out, Zhou Baizhe opened the system, found the column of the mall, and began to search for suitable attack methods.

These days, even having invincible chili bombs is not enough to protect oneself.

He had to grab it with both hands and find more means of attack for himself.

this is not OK!

Zhou Baizhe shook his head in his heart, turned the page resolutely and continued to read.

This still doesn't work for me.

Zhou Baizhe turned the page again.

When his eyes swept over a certain product, he suddenly stopped, stared at it carefully for a long time, and clicked to view the description.

[Big and small skills]: This skill is a one-time skill. It takes [-] points to change each time. The corresponding points will be deducted depending on the size difference. For every ten centimeters, double points will be deducted. The maximum height is unlimited.

Zhou Baizhe swallowed his saliva, staring at the three characters "unrestricted" for a long time without regaining consciousness.

This shows what?

It means that he wants to become very big, even a giant with a height of several thousand meters, but this skill has a very sad limitation, that is, many, many points will be deducted.

According to his understanding of this instruction manual, if he wants to become a pepper with a height of [-] centimeters, he may only need [-] points, and [-] centimeters may need [-] points.

So how many kilometers high?

Zhou Baizhe was so shocked by this terrible point data that he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

However, it may not be possible to achieve a height of several thousand meters, but it is still very easy to increase it by ten centimeters, but he does not have many points now, so he can only buy it after killing the insect swarm today.

Zhou Baizhe held back his desire to grow taller, and continued to scroll down. Although the problem of growing taller had been solved, he still had no clue about his attack.

Zhou Baizhe rummaged patiently, and finally found an unremarkable skill product in the last corner of page No.18.

[Upgrade Clone Skill]: This skill can spend points to upgrade the clone puppet. The minimum cost for each upgrade is [-] points, and the corresponding points will be deducted for each level and quantity increase.

Zhou Baizhe thought for a while, and felt that this skill could be used temporarily. With his current strength, if he used a weapon, it would definitely arouse the curiosity of the villagers. After all, a chili pepper can possess many magical powers, but it must There is no way to conjure weapons for no reason.

Zhou Baizhe didn't know if there were space buttons in this world. He didn't dare to take the risk, so he could only temporarily use this seemingly reasonable skill to protect himself and improve his combat effectiveness.

Besides, letting the avatar fight instead of him is much better than fighting bitterly, and this ability is very cool at first glance, and it will definitely arouse the villagers' rush to worship.

Just thinking about it makes me a little excited.

Augustin was a little helpless. He thought the chili had fallen asleep again, so he didn't bother him any more. Who knew that after a while, he heard it laughing non-stop. He didn't know what kind of dream it had, so he Even when I fell asleep, I couldn't control my secret happiness.

After walking for a while, Augustin came to the river. At this moment, many villagers gathered by the river. They took off their shirts and only wore big trousers, and jumped into the river with a slam.

The sound of plopping down the river was heard one after another, and many villagers swam to the bottom of the river and began to dig down with specially prepared shovels.

The future supernatural beings are different from the ancient earth. Most of them have third-level supernatural powers, and they can last for 10 minutes without breathing.

The surface of the river is sparkling, and the red sunset reflects the surface of the river like a golden belt, which is very beautiful, peaceful, peaceful and beautiful.

After Zhou Baizhe quit the system, he saw such a beautiful scene.

In an instant, he couldn't help being in a trance, and said with emotion: "It's so beautiful."

Augustine moved slightly and said, "Wake up?"

Zhou Baizhe was a little embarrassed, he didn't fall asleep just now, but he couldn't go into details about it, so he could only admit it while pinching his nose.

"It's normal to doze off when you're getting older." Zhou Baizhe said without redness, and after finishing speaking, he patted Augustin with Xiao Yezi, and said, "Young people, take good care of your health in the future, and don't stay up late. Exercise more, don't wait until you are old like me."

Augustine twitched the corners of his mouth, always feeling that these words were extremely watery.

After Zhou Baizhe finished speaking, he felt extremely proud. This feeling of educating Augustin was really good, and he really wanted to do it again.

But looking at Augustin's black ink-like face, Zhou Baizhe wisely chose to keep his mouth shut, and he would never say another word that deserved a beating.

Augustin rubbed his brows, always feeling that this little pepper can make him emotional all the time.

I don't know what went wrong.

At this time, Zhou Baizhe noticed many people standing by the river, whispering, but the distance was too far, and the voices of those people were so small that Zhou Baizhe couldn't hear what they were talking at all.

"What are they doing?" Zhou Baizhe asked curiously.

He noticed that Huang Mao and others were standing by the river with serious expressions.

This made Zhou Baizhe even more curious.

Augustine was silent for a while, and finally said slowly: "They are going down the river to find something."

Zhou Baizhe was at a loss. He didn't know when the bug swarm would come. How could the villagers still have the mood to go down the river to find something.

At this moment, something flashed in Zhou Baizhe's mind, and then his expression was awkward, and he said, "Could it be? They are looking for that thing that allows me to upgrade?"

Augustine nodded, "Not bad."

Zhou Baizhe wailed and covered his face, obviously he brought up this matter himself, but when he came to the river, he was so stupid as to ask others what was going on, it was really embarrassing for them.

A hint of ridicule flashed in Augustin's eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

I don't know how long it took, a few heads appeared on the river surface, and finally the water splashed, and the villagers went ashore quickly, wiped the water marks on their faces, gasped, and reported to the village chief: "Nothing was found in this section of the river. "

Another villager who went down the river also said: "I didn't find it either. I dug to a depth of two meters and found nothing."

Speaking of which, what exactly is the village chief looking for in this river?

The villagers were very curious, but the village chief kept his secret about it. After several visits, the villagers learned from each other and stopped asking.
