Chapter 74: Chapter 73: The Egg of Death
“`
Today, the gymnasium of Xintian Middle School was a bit lively because it was the turn of Xintian Middle School’s team to compete.
The venue was somewhat deserted, and some classes, coincidentally having physical education, came to the gymnasium’s stands under the guidance of their teachers.
The atmosphere inside the venue was somewhat heavy.
Their opponents today were Wanhai Middle School, a school from the same district as theirs.
According to intelligence, all four members of Wanhai Middle School’s team had beasts that had evolved once, making them one of the strong contenders for this year’s top six.
They didn’t expect their luck to be so bad to run into the team from Wanhai Middle School so early.
On the opposite side, four Beast Tamings were summoned in a row.
“Captain, are we following the old rules for this match?” Pei Lingmin looked towards the girl with a stern face behind her.
Ruan Jun looked disdainfully at the opposing team. “Although they have all evolved once, you must know that there is still a difference within those who have evolved just once.”
Chen Lingya took out a mobile phone with a muddy doll case from her upper pocket. “My brother is back from the Secret Realm, let’s finish the match early and go home for lunch.”
After speaking, Chen Lingya opened her right hand, the summoning Array of Light shone, and the agile figure of Chi Yu emerged from the light.
“Since the captain has spoken, let’s put in extra effort today,” said the last boy in Wanhai Middle School’s team as he extended his right hand.
A majestic langur with green fur let out a long howl, thumping its chest!
In the midst of thumping, it sneakily glanced at Chi Yu with the corner of its eye, only to raise its voice even louder when it realized it wasn’t being watched.
“Lang Yuan, go!”
The langur with arms almost touching the ground hammered the earth forcefully, catapulting itself into the air.
Almost turning into a gust of wind, a strong breeze blew out of nowhere in the arena.
Lang Yuan’s figure was hidden in the wind, becoming blurred.
Chi Yu’s chubby leopard paw stomped the ground.
Winds from all directions converged, and the bone-chilling cold wind merged with the fierce wind summoned by the green-haired langur. Ice spikes and blizzards intertwined in the wind, battering fiercely.
The wind howled like angry spirits, and within the blizzard, the snowy white figure of Chi Yu blended in.
Ten minutes later, the blizzard subsided, and the four Beast Tamings lay in the snowdrift like dead dogs.
“Is it over?”
Ruan Jun’s mouth twitched; the captain had been truly brutal today.
It probably had to do with the previous incident.
That incident also reinforced his resolve not to provoke the captain.
After the battle, the four Wanhai Middle School members left Xintian Middle School by the school bus led by Coach Fu Chang.
In the back row of the school bus, Wan Hailong, who was wearing a suit and opening the window, waved at Chen Lingya.
Chen Lingya sat in the back row, while the other three exchanged glances and followed the coach to the front row.
Wan Hailong whispered, “Congratulations, your father’s illness is cured.”
“Thank you,” she replied.
“Qiu Shangqing is one of the pioneers of modern educational reform in Great Xia. With this incident, he has propelled the Qiu family into becoming one of the top families in Great Xia. Your brother’s Beast Taming has caught his eye, and this will make his life much easier moving forward.”
“But you, such a proud person, are you willing to let your brother gradually catch up to and then surpass you?”
Chen Lingya sneered, “He is my brother. We are family for life. Principal, your attempt to sow discord is a bit clumsy.”
Wan Hailong smiled mysteriously, “No, no, no, I have no intention of driving a wedge between you. What I mean is, after the college entrance exam, once you obtain that thing, I can give you a chance, the same chance as your brother.”
Chen Lingya frowned.
“The Qiu family has given your brother a rare chance at evolution, and I just so happen to have control over a rare evolution manual,” Wan Hailong looked at Chen Lingya. “You may not know what rare evolution is…”
“I know,” Chen Lingya said with a faint smile. “My brother told me about it.”
Wan Hailong’s eyes shimmered with ripples, “It seems you and your brother do share a close bond. Our deal still stands, one rare evolution opportunity. I will help you collect all the materials needed for the rare evolution.”
The wind outside the window grew more intense, and as the bus turned the corner, the shadow of the building on the right split the light on Chen Lingya’s face in two.
“`
“Okay, pleased to do business with you.”
…
Since she was young, she understood a principle, seize the opportunities when they arise.
To fight might not guarantee getting it, but if you don’t fight, you’ll never have the chance.
No matter how it’s sugarcoated, the essence of this world is the bloody rawness of nature—the law of the jungle.
Ding.
The elevator reached the fifth floor, and the doors slid open.
Chen Lingya lifted her head, her expression calm as still water.
Returning home, smelling the familiar scent of home-cooked meals wafting from the living room, a gentle smile involuntarily appeared on Chen Lingya’s serene face.
If one lacks strength, how could they protect their family.
Looking around the room, she noticed Chen Xing wasn’t in the living room, nor was he helping in the kitchen.
Turning the knob of his bedroom door, she saw Chen Xing feeding a baby chick into Taotie’s mouth, then his Beast Taming companion spun crazily on the ground, the air around its snout distorting.
“What are you doing?”
“Training its skill mastery.”
As Chen Xing spoke, he tossed another egg into Taotie’s mouth, and Taotie continued to perform the Death Roll on the spot; because it was on land, the Death Roll was extra difficult to execute, and moreover…
“Are you sure you’re not just feeding it eggs?”
Chen Lingya fell silent. This was no different from asking a strongman to hold a raw egg in his palm while doing pull-ups without breaking the egg.
“As long as you’re happy.”
With Chen Lingya closing the door, Chen Xing took out freeze-dried food from a jar nearby and tossed it into Taotie’s mouth.
The previously restless look in Taotie’s eyes calmed down, and it completed its training meticulously.
Chen Xing knew it was hard, but he had no choice, this was the mini-game of Taotie’s Innate Skill, Death Roll—”Death Egg”!
It required Taotie to perform the Death Roll on land while holding a raw egg in its mouth, and to successfully execute a round of the skill without destroying the raw egg.
The difficulty of this game was no less than playing hide and seek. Hide and seek could still exploit bugs, but he really didn’t know how to exploit this mini-game.
Perhaps the most direct method was to find a kind of egg that could remain intact even during the Death Roll…
Luckily, he had activated the large can of pet freeze-dried meat, which turned out to work surprisingly well.
After ingesting a piece of freeze-dried food, for the next minute, Taotie became more focused while playing the game.
Moreover, it seemed to activate some latent potential. Under the effects of the freeze-dried food, Taotie would enter a special “focused” state, which would greatly increase its learning ability during skill-based mini-games.
From the activation of the Innate Skill to now, Taotie had successfully completed the “Death Egg” mini-game twelve times.
The Proficiency Level of the skill had also broken through from beginner to mastery.
It could ensure successful execution of the skill every time.
Innate Skill: Death Roll (Mastery) (2/100)
But reaching proficiency would still require 98 more successful attempts.
“Pet successfully completes the ‘Death Egg’ mini-game once, Death Roll skill proficiency level +1.”
Text appeared on the face of the Stone Booklet, then disappeared.
Chen Xing looked at Taotie, who opened its huge mouth and spit out the slimy raw egg, proudly asking for praise.
“Good job! Carry on.”
Chen Xing now focused on the skill “Quantitative Skill Guidance”. Once activated, the proficiency gained from training active skills and playing mini-games would double.
As he mastered more and more skills, he needed to play more and more mini-games.
Time was becoming increasingly tight, so Quantitative Skill Guidance was quite essential.
