Hearing Konan say this, Aoba felt a lot more relieved.
Although there was a lot of risk to fight in the periphery of Iwagakure, it was still within the acceptable range.
If he didn't attract the damn old man Onoki, everything would be easy!
But speaking of which, if it was really 'Deidara', he seemed to be Onoki's student?
Tsk, tsk. A rebellious young man is indeed the easiest to find fault with.
Following that, Konan and Aoba found a hotel to stay in.
It was obvious that the shop owner was very unreliable. When Aoba specifically asked him how many rooms were left, he actually replied, "There are still many rooms left. Choose whatever you want."
"I specifically asked you once. Is it for the right to choose any room you want? I haven't seen a TV show, so I should at least have seen dog blood! Shouldn't you say 'awkward' at this time and only have one room left? And the kind that only has one bed!"
What the fuck!
He deserved to have so many empty rooms and couldn't rent them out!
Aoba was very angry and then moved into the room next to Konan.
Since he had nothing to do, he could check the reward for the last mission.
[You has successfully opened the Silver Treasure Chest. You have obtained the skill [Phantom Deception].]
Aoba was stunned and quickly looked up this new ability.
[ [Phantom Deception] Level 0: After activating it, it will induce everyone around it, greatly reducing their presence or substantially increasing their presence. (The specific effect is related to the skill level)]
[Duration: 3 minutes]
[Cooldown Time: 1 hour]
[Range: 100 meters]
[Evaluation: You are just easily overlooked, not really invisible or disappearing, so put away those thoughts that you should not have.]
...
"Another auxiliary ability?"
Aoba was a little surprised, but he was not disappointed.
Because good auxiliary skills were sometimes more useful than simple offensive skills, and some heaven-defying auxiliary skills were enough to be called divine skills.
And this [Phantom Deception], in his view, although it was not a real divine skill, it could play a crucial effect if used well.
In a battle, any negligence could be fatal.
Think about it, if everyone ignored his existence in a battle, what kind of surprise could he bring to the enemy!
Or if everyone's eyes were on him, would it give their companions a chance?
This was only a few methods he immediately thought of.
Of course, having a low sense of presence and being easily ignored did not mean that he really did not exist.
He had to pay special attention to this point.
Aoba thought about it and then added the reward of one Silver and three Bronze-Level Death-Seeking Mission's skill cards that he had completed over the past two years, along with the intermediate skill card he had obtained this time.
He directly raised [Phantom Deception] to level 5!
When the effect became stronger, it also increased the duration to 8 minutes. The range of the effect expanded to 350 meters, and the cooldown time did not change. It was still an hour.
On average, with each increase in level, it could increase the duration of one minute and expand the range of the influence of 50 meters.
Aoba was satisfied with this result. He just waited for the opportunity to test the specific effect of this ability.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard the sound of movement next door. He opened the door and saw that it was a hot water delivery. Konan was preparing to take a bath. After all, she had been traveling for a long time, so she was naturally uncomfortable.
With this condition, it was normal to take a bath.
Aoba turned around and went back. If he dared to go in and say to Konan, "Let's take a bath together."
Konan would definitely not answer him, "Okay." Instead, she would immediately go berserk and find a way to kill him.
"Sigh, it's a pity that I can't take a bath with such a beautiful figure."
However, just as Aoba complained and sighed, the system that was very 'understood' once again lit up.
Ding!
The ordinary Death-Seeking Mission has been released!
[Mission name: Helpers]
[Description: You said it yourself. It's a pity that I can't take a bath with such a beautiful figure. Then what are you waiting for? Take her!]
[I gave you a chance. If you can't grasp it, who can you blame? ]
[Quest requirement: Give Konan a back scrub. minimum requirement is ten times! ]
[Quest time limit: Until Konan finishes bathing...]
[Quest reward: Konan's bath water 1 bottle (System specialty)]
[Mission failure: Durant warning!]
......
"This System, you've been very popular recently! Isn't the frequency of your appearance a little too high?"
Aoba was speechless as he looked at this mission.
If the system could speak, it would definitely spit it back at him!
"I have issued four missions in two years. One is silver and three is bronze. Now that I finally have the chance, if you don't let me appear a few more times, the handsome readers will forget me! And you, the author, don't laugh! Why don't you have me in your character? You are dead, understand?"
Yes, it was an illusion. Everything was an illusion.
The system was so cold and aloof, how could it speak, and even more so, it wouldn't make unfounded accusations, right?
However, you are also considered a 'character'?
Huft!
After angrily criticizing the system for more than a thousand chapters, I ,Shinomiya Aoba, the righteous gentleman, am 'very unwilling' (with a face full of smiles), I began to think about how to complete this mission.
After all, the punishment for failing the mission was too vicious!
Durant warned?
Was he going to let him drink bath water?
He was not so shameless!
Therefore, he was also 'forced to do it' (well done).
As for the reward, was it still important?
Ah, no, what Aoba meant was that although this mission reward looked very strange, it must be very powerful.
How can a system product be the same as ordinary bathwater, right?
For this mission reward, he had to work hard to admit that he had really completed the mission. He absolutely could not make the mistake of the last Curry of Life Pill!
It was not because he wanted to rub Konan's back that he almost laughed out loud!
Please, believe me! Look at my sincere eyes!
After a psychological struggle (eager to try), Aoba sighed. While silently throwing the black pot to the system, he was very eager to cancel the skin effect of [Crimson Swordsman].
Then he used the transformation technique to change into the appearance of the person who came to deliver hot water just now, standing in front of Konan's door.
"Dudu."
"Who?"
"Customer, I was afraid that it wouldn't be enough, so I brought some hot water over."
Inside the room, Konan seemed to be silent for a moment, and then a cold voice came out, "Bring it in."
"Okay..."
Aoba silently recited 'all of it is for the mission' as he opened the door and walked in.
