Chapter 208 Eighty-year-old mission to hunt in the wild with tears in his eyes

"people!"

Officer Mountain Cat strode gracefully across the ground strewn with fallen leaves and twigs, arriving before a bewildered player.

It sat down in front of the player with the ID "Eighty Tears in the Jungle," licked its paws, and asked, "Hey, I have a quest for you, do you want to take it?"

The player was a little confused: "A mission!?"

"If you don't want to answer, then forget it!"

Officer Mountain Cat stood up, seemingly intending to leave.

Unexpectedly, the player seemed to only then realize what had happened, and immediately knelt down on the ground with a thud. He then leaned close to Officer Mountain Raccoon's face and shouted in a voice that was at least an octave higher, "Please! Please let me experience the thrill of being a lucky winner!"

The raccoon officer cautiously jumped back two steps, increasing the distance between itself and the player. After hesitating for a moment, it still didn't leave. It squatted down again, twitched its ears, and said, "I want to choose a name, but I don't know what to choose. I know you can discuss it on the 'network' of the Blue Star Realm, so please help me ask around and see if there are any good names!"

"As payment, I will give you a piece of thousand-year-old Yin Iron Bamboo, which is an excellent material for refining weapons and forging blades."

[Eighty-year-old, tearful jungler] nodded excitedly, slapping the ground repeatedly, and said, "No problem! I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

Seeing that the other party seemed genuinely excited and willing, Officer Mountain Cat nodded in satisfaction: "Then, come find me after you've asked around. I'll be waiting for you on the biggest tree next to Chang'an Night Market."

After saying that, it didn't wait for the player to reply, and with a few leaps, it disappeared into the bushes.

[Eighty-year-old tearfully goes wild] He stood there stunned for a while, and found that no task was displayed in his task bar. He almost thought he was hallucinating!

Fortunately, the NPC's chat history contained the complete conversation, which he quickly screenshotted and saved. Then, he rushed back to the large dormitory where the sect provided free "corpse storage" and logged off immediately—without even having time to choose a bed!
A few minutes later, a player who was also about to log off was tripped by [Eighty-Year-Old Jungler with Tears in His Eyes]. He almost fell over and cursed angrily: "Damn it! Who is this person who is so unethical! Why is he blocking the doorway to log off? Isn't this deliberately tripping someone up?!"

Then he kicked the body of [Eighty Tears of the Jungle] against the corner of the wall, clearing the ground at the doorway. He even controlled the force and kicked it a couple more times to vent his anger—any harder and it would be judged as a malicious attack, which would result in a red name, and it wouldn't be worth it!
Meanwhile, the already offline player, 【Eighty Tears in the Jungle】, was completely unaware of these events. He was excitedly opening the forum and began cropping and formatting various screenshots, posting three threads in a row.

The first one posted was "Brothers, I've turned into a lucky king!", which was immediately pinned to the top by netizens after it was released.

This post is also known as: "How did you know I was approached and given a mission by Sheriff Mimi?"

This post is also titled: "That's right! I'm the man chosen by Sheriff Mimi!"

The post begins with a screenshot of Officer Mountain Cat sitting upright in the game, along with a few incredibly annoying lines, and a screenshot of in-game NPC chat logs.

Unexpectedly, the second floor of the post was immediately flooded with comments as soon as it was published.

"Rapid plowing keeps me awake at night!"

By the time 【Eighty-Year-Old Jungler with Tears in His Eyes】 finished posting the follow-up, the post already had 99+ views.

"My first encounter with Sheriff Mimi was on a sunny day. She walked towards me with great determination and chose me without hesitation!"

"He must be mesmerized by my handsomeness!"

"Then, it gave me a mission! Although it was a hidden private mission that wasn't displayed in the mission log, it was Sheriff Mimi's mission!"

"Of course, everyone needs to participate in this task. For details, please refer to this post [hyperlink]."
"As for why I'm posting more..."

"Can't I show off a little?"

The post wasn't long, but it contained a ton of pictures, mainly "handsome photos" of the Mountain Raccoon Officer in various poses, as well as screenshots of NPC chat logs where someone would repeat the same sentence three times.

Netizens, on the other hand, turned into sour lemons and launched a barrage of attacks against the original poster.

"Get out of the way, I'm feeling a bit hot-tempered lately, I'm going to wake him up with a slap!" "Draw your sword! Rival! You dare to paint a picture of Sheriff Mimi?!"

There were also those who kept spouting witty remarks—

"If all else fails, the three of you making a good living is the most important thing!"

"Go back upstairs, it's two people and a demon!"

"If they get divorced, who will Mimi live with?"

"Come with me, thank you. We're already together and very happy!"

In addition, many netizens, especially gamers, are curious about this matter.

"Isn't Sheriff Mimi supposed to be super aloof? I remember she never lets anyone touch her!"

"That's right! There was a player who messed up before and got sent back to the 'black room' (a derogatory term for someone who is easily killed), and even had their favorability reduced by 100 points. As a result, Chief Mimi now turns red and brandishes her claws whenever she sees that player. Boss, this is so satisfying!"

"Hey, I remember that too! The link is here, the post is still up! [Hyperlink]"

"Chief Mimi can issue missions too! Such a niche language!"

One netizen raised a crucial question: "Wait, wasn't the task supposed to name it? Why are you calling it Mimi?"

"Ahem, well... because its name is Sang Biao, we call it Mimi!"

"Don't believe or spread rumors; it's clearly called 'punishment'!"

"Punishment, punishment? Why did he call you Mimi?"

However, aside from the jokes, some netizens gave serious answers: "The main reason is that it doesn't have a name, and the data card seems to have a bug, it just says 'Mountain Civet Cat' and its race is 'Mountain Civet Cat Demon'. Not only is it hard to pronounce, but it also doesn't sound like a name at all, so everyone just calls it 'Mimi'!"

"Here's the thing, I propose the following shortlist: Killer Blade, Bone Stealer, Prison Executioner, Punishment Blade, Dudust..."

"Help! Hahahaha, I can't laugh anymore! What kind of list of killer male leads in old-fashioned romance novels is this? Hahahaha..."

"You went to Mingjiao to buy supplies, didn't you!"

"Nonsense! The goods were clearly sourced from Baling!"

Of course, the most frequent comments were all sorts of name suggestions.

Besides deliberately mischievous names like "Sang Biao" and "Fazui," there were also many normal suggestions, such as "Xinuo," "Jinpo," "Li Jiangjun," and "Liming Jing," as well as names that clearly refer to one's own cat, such as "Tangyuan" and "Xiaoyugan."

However, amidst all these chaotic suggestions, Wang Ergou, who had a verified badge, chimed in from the first floor: "Don't name it like you would a pet cat! It's a legitimate, sentient demon. Don't try to amuse it with that kind of playful attitude. If it gets angry, 'Eighty-year-old Tears in the Jungle' might really be in tears!"

This was originally a very serious piece of advice, but the effect... seems to have backfired.

"Really!? In that case, I'll vote for 'Mimi'! Whether it's funny or not isn't important, I just want to see the poster in tears!"

"Seconded!"
