Chapter 123: Where is the loot?
"And don't you think the green screen also looks very similar to the game screen?"
Aiden, hearing her, replied to her,
"You are right, we should go and see if we could get anything from its body."
Hearing these words, he felt a little relieved, as there was no one other than his sister here who mentioned this, which must be because these women are not familiar with games. But now he can use this as an excuse to add a little more detail to their conversation, which wouldn't make him suspicious.
"Hmm, you are right about this, big sis. It looks very similar to games, and I think it would be helpful if we try to relate things. But for now, we should go and see what we could get by killing the rabbit."
Alicia, seeing her brother has now stopped looking at the big-chested woman, so she felt good as she replied to him in a cheerful voice,
"Okay, let's go, Aiden!"
Aiden, seeing her enthusiasm, smiled a little and started walking as he put the sword back in the scabbard, thinking he didn't need to be alert while having so many guards now who were checking the area using thermal scopes regularly.
He felt much more relaxed as he started walking while holding his sister's hand, which she had held earlier, and the ladies, seeing their leader walking, quickly took their earlier positions and started following him while keeping their guard.
A few minutes passed, and they finally reached the dead body of the little rabbit, which was covered in blood, its body was incomplete as a huge portion of it was blasted away by the bullet, with its organs visible.
Alicia, seeing the bloody sight in front of her, quickly covered her mouth as she felt like vomiting if she looked any longer, and she avoided looking at it. But for Aiden and the rest of the ladies, this bloody sight didn't make them feel anything, as they had seen much crueler sights before, and a dead animal was nothing at all.
Aiden noticed the discomfort of his sister and started to rub her back gently to make her feel better, asking in a calm voice,
"Big sis, are you going to be fine? Because we will be seeing much more bloody sights from now on."
Alicia, feeling the rubbing on her back, felt much better, and hearing his words, she felt a little embarrassed as she noticed that no one else was reacting like her. She had her own pride and didn't want to look weak in front of her little brother, so she swallowed hard and tried not to think much of it as she removed her hand from her face.
But still, the discomfort on her face couldn't be hidden at all.
"I am fine, Aiden, you shouldn't worry about me."
Aiden had noticed the look on her face but didn't comfort her more after hearing her words, as she would have to quickly get used to this, and only gave her a light nod.
Now, he focused on the body, which looked like a normal dead body where no loot could be seen at all, but he didn't lose hope as he was sure there had to be something valuable in there.
'System, does this animal have some viruses that would infect people?'
The system, hearing his voice, replied in a lazy voice as it was feeling bored after seeing how the rabbit died,
'No, other than undead creatures like zombies, there aren't many creatures that pose a danger of infecting you and making you like them after getting bitten or infected. However, there could be creatures that have highly toxic blood, which could be dangerous, but I don't think you'll encounter something like that for now.
So you should be careful when dealing with the undead, as they are one of the main reasons a world can become extinct.'
Aiden already had some idea about the undead, but hearing her say they were one of the main reasons for planets going extinct, he decided to be more careful when dealing with them.
'Okay, thank you for telling me all this.' Aiden thanked her properly this time, as even after their small quarrel, she still helped him every time, so he thanked her.
Now, knowing it wasn't dangerous, as he knew rabbits didn't have poison in their blood, he ordered one of the women to search inside the body of the rabbit to see if there was something present inside.
Hearing his voice, Ava told one of the girls to check if they could find something inside the body. Hearing the command, the girl didn't complain at all and took out her black knife, moved toward the bloody body, and started cutting it to see if she could find something.
The black knife cut its body like butter which surprised her but she still focused on her task her hands got bloody when she was doing it, but it didn't affect her at all as she the body thoroughly but she still couldn't find anything other than normal body parts.
"Leader, I didn't find anything inside the body," as now only the destroyed body of the little rabbit lay on the green grass.
Aiden had seen everything with his keen eyes, and he could confirm that she had checked everything, so he felt confused, as he couldn't accept that there was nothing inside or no magical loot had appeared after the kill.
He remembered something and looked at the plump Daphne, asking in a serious voice. He had already gotten the list of their names from Ava earlier but only remembered a few important ones for now, and Daphne was included in the list of people he planned to copy talents from, so he remembered her.
'Yep, not because of how she looked when she fired those gunshots earlier.'
"Daphne, did you get any message from the green screen earlier when you killed the rabbit?"
Daphne, hearing the leader calling her by her name, didn't have time to celebrate it as she had to answer him. Now that she focused, she remembered a message appearing right after she killed the rabbit,
"Yes, leader, I remember seeing something when I killed the rabbit."
Aiden, getting her confirmation, quickly asked her without waiting any more,
"What message did you get from the green screen? Tell me."
Daphne, hearing his words, felt a little anxious as she didn't remember what she had seen earlier. But she called the green screen as she knew, and just after listening to the voice, she thought about it appearing in front of her, and it appeared, and vice versa, it would disappear.

She could see her status like usual, but she still couldn't see the message from earlier. But just when she thought about the message from earlier the green screen suddenly changed in front of her eyes.
[You have successfully killed an Awakened Rabbit.]
Seeing the message appear once again, the color on her face brightened, as she wouldn't need to embarrass herself by saying she had forgotten such a small message.
