Chapter 1267: Chapter 360: Cultivation with Yingying (2-in-1)
"Alright." Knowing Song Ru wanted to spend more time with him, Lin Su did not refuse.
A night without words.
Early the next morning, Lin Su left with his backpack.
Ji Yue’s parents looked at him with reluctance, accompanying him all the way.
"Dad, keep this with you." Lin Su handed a letter to Ji Yue, stopping him from opening it immediately, "Open it after I leave."
"Alright." Ji Yue placed the letter close to his chest, looking at Lin Su seriously, "A Heng, being outside is different from being at home, keep your wits about you and stay safe."
"Dad, I understand." Lin Su nodded seriously, then gently patted Song Ru’s hand that she had been holding, "Mom, I’ll be fine, don’t worry."
Song Ru wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and withdrew her hand, "If you ever feel wronged outside, the home is always here."
Lin Su nodded, his eyes slightly red.
The behavior of Ji Yue’s parents was so similar to Lin Su’s own parents back then.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world.
"I’m leaving!"
He dared not look back, his figure like lightning, quickly disappearing from his parents’ view.
Song Ru couldn’t help but shed tears, leaning powerlessly on Ji Yue’s shoulder.
Ji Yue took a deep breath, holding back tears unlike his wife, then opened the letter he had been holding and looked at the words on it.
As he read, the writing on the letter was being wetted.
"This child..."
...
"Yingying, it’s just the two of us now."
In the desolate area where people were rare, Lin Su summoned Yingying once again.
He had already left the city he had lived in for more than ten years, and everything ahead was unfamiliar.
"Jie! (｡⊙‿⊙｡)" (Let’s find other companions together!)
Yingying nodded seriously, then turned its gaze to the map in Lin Su’s hand, curious about the upcoming journey.
"The place with the most types of exotic creatures is, of course, the various exotic creature gathering areas. Visiting such places more often makes it easier to meet other partners."
Lin Su smiled, "With our current strength, just entering the weaker exotic creature gathering areas and not intentionally provoking powerful exotic creatures, safety can still be ensured."
"Of course, we need to be more careful."
"So we need to make some preparations first."
Yingying nodded in agreement, then looked at Lin Su.
"Jie? (⊙▂⊙)" (What preparations?)
"Ahead is a forest, not many exotic creatures inside, and few people pass by, just suitable for us to reside temporarily." Lin Su pointed to the map and then to the faintly visible green spot in the distance, "So we should first head to that forest ahead and practice the Power Transfer Method."
"Over the past week, I’ve taught you quite a few commonly used dark system teaching skills, but there are still some not fully mastered due to the tight schedule, even those mastered are only at the first stage of skill proficiency." Lin Su sighed, "Without the Illusion Dream Stone, I’m really not used to it."
"Let’s first strive to train these skills to the second stage of proficiency, and then find a city with a Beast Tower and start challenging the tower!" Lin Su took a deep breath, "This is the fastest way to improve your skill proficiency in a short period."
"Jie! (｡⊙‿⊙｡)" (Okay!)
Yingying nodded heavily, eyes filled with anticipation.
When it was fused with Gui Gui for evolution, not only did Gui Gui possess its memory, but it also gained Gui Gui’s memory.
Therefore, although it hasn’t challenged the Beast Tower, it already knows what kind of place it is.
With the Dream Crystal Stone obtained from the Beast Tower, the speed of improvement for all its skills can be significantly accelerated, and battle experience can be quickly enhanced.
"As for evolution, we need to arrange it soon." Lin Su thought carefully, "Let’s first evolve into a Trick Master; other matters can wait."
"I’ve already prepared the resources for evolving into a Trick Master, but I want to see if we can find a secret realm containing the dark system to aid your evolution." Lin Su spread his hands, "At worst, it should at least be a yellow tier, right?"
Yingying’s eyes brightened, nodding quickly.
If there’s a special secret realm, then its evolution into a Trick Master might be able to possess additional Talent Skills like Gui Gui once did, even making core skills stronger.
This way, the upper limit is raised, even if not following Gui Gui’s evolutionary path, there’s a better future improvement space.
As they talked and acted swiftly, they soon reached that not-so-large forest.
Inside, they found a spot near a water source, took out a set of tents from the Space Ring, and set them up. Lin Su casually sat on a large rock nearby, rubbing his stomach, "Yingying, how about we have roast meat with flatbread for lunch today?"
"Jie! (｡⊙‿⊙｡)" (I’ll go catch it!)
Yingying’s eyes brightened, instantly turning into a shadow and disappearing from the spot. It returned shortly with a freshly killed deer.
Shadow Concealment combined with Flying Knife Skill, Jester Clown naturally suited for hunting in the forest.
"This deer is not bad." Lin Su took the prey caught by Yingying, examined it briefly, and quickly gave Yingying a thumbs up, "Great!"
With Lin Su’s praise, Yingying’s smile instantly became radiant.
After a simple fire setup, skinning, and visceral cleaning, Lin Su soon skewered the unfortunate deer on a wooden stake and began roasting it over the fire.
The dark red meat quickly turned a brownish-yellow color, with the fat parts melting into oil under the flames, evenly spreading over the inside and surface of the deer meat, occasionally dripping a few drops and sparking a few flames.
