Bird Call

"Any drops!?" Snow Princess shamelessly asked Xia Shishu even though she had reported him to the Second Reality A.I.

"No drops!" Xia Shishu said, checking the violet bird drops. There were a skill book and some bird materials: violet feathers, claws, etc.

Snow Princess's arms trembled and she stared at Xia Shishu with daggers. However, she did not contribute at all, so she immediately closed her mouth.

After lamenting about the dead bird, Xia Shishu got off the ground. His character is already so busted, but he's going to fail a quest given by a little girl. He might just as well jump off the cliff and kill himself once. Of course, he won't actually kill himself in fear of losing EXP…

Xia Shishu then turned his attention to the eggs that are in the nest. This is his only option for now. They could possibly hatch some violet birds, so he might as well give the eggs to Niu Qiqi and see if he'll complete the quest.

Approaching the bird nest, Xia Shishu saw three medium sized eggs bunched up together. Snow Princess also followed at a swift pace.

"No matter what you say, I'm keeping one!" She jumped on the nest and took one egg, sending it into her inventory.

"Sure, this Immortal…"

"Shut the hell up! Your chuunibyou symptoms are hella annoying!"

"Whatever." Xia Shishu rolled his eyes and kicked her, sending her away from the remaining two eggs.

"You!! Die!!" Snow Princess erupted and tried to kick Xia Shishu back.

Puff!

"Success!" For a second her eyes brightened, but her face twisted after feeling the pain coming from her foot. It felt as if she had kicked a cement floor! Fuck! Why are the pain receptors on Second Reality so freaking high!?

Xia Shishu squinted his eyes at the cursing princess as his HP dropped by a super small amount. As expected… His status is really that of an Immortal as compared to the mortals around him.

Ignoring the crazy lady, Xia Shishu stored the two remaining eggs into his inventory.

Seeing nothing else, Xia Shishu took out the skill book and read the description.

[ Bird Call Skill Book

Requirement: N/A

Remarks: Originating from a sovereign of the birds, this special skill allows one to call and communicate with the bird species. Note one: Birds with higher intelligence and wisdom will not respond to the call and communication. Note two: Birds will temporarily turn neutral when called, but they may retaliate if threatened. ]

"Isn't that a skill book!? A drop from the freaking bird BOSS!?" Snow Princess exclaimed. Skill books are extremely rare, and normal monsters would not drop any skill books. Furthermore, BOSS monsters might not even drop skill books!

To date, the total skill books that are dropped in each beginner village could still be counted with one hand!

"I got this somewhere else!"

"Fucking liar!" Snow Princess bared her teeth but still did nothing. She could kick him again, but that would only bring her pain! The chuunibyou in front of her didn't seem to feel anything on her previous kick.

'This skill seems interesting…' Xia Shishu thought to himself. Anyways, it didn't hurt to learn it. Shouldn't he sell it for money? Nope! He could just sell some Talismans later for money. The demand is still pretty high due to the appearance of lady Ying previously.

He also heard from chatty players that the dungeon near Silver Lake Village which came with the update has spirits and ghosts of some sort, and therefore, many people wanted to buy Talismans.

Stepping to the edge of the cliff, Xia Shishu activated his Bird's Call Skill. He wanted to see how it works.

Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!

More than twenty birds flew up from the forest, varying in various colors.

"Do you all understand me?"

Chirp!

"Would you all answer some of my questions? Ah? So I have to give food in return for answers?"

Chirp! Chirp!

"Here. So do you guys know of any other violet birds? Oh… There's only one? Doesn't this mean that Niu Qiqi wants a damn BOSS as a pet? Sheesh! No wonder this is a D ranked quest…" Xia Shishu gave out some of the candy that he bought the previous night to the birds and began speaking to them.

Snow Princess's mouth dropped into an oval shape as she stared at the Immortal chuunibyou. He's communicating with the birds the skill book? Such a damn skill is great for gathering information and scouting!

"You all may go…" Xia Shishu waved his hands, and the birds flew off back to where they came from.
