Chapter 112: Chapter 98: Beast King’s Cub (Part 2)
...
Another hour passed, and Xiaobai finally woke up.
Lin Chen told it what happened, and Xiaobai was overjoyed.
Now, it won’t harm Lin Chen and Xiao Hong anymore.
"Moo~~"
Though Xiaobai felt uncomfortable being stopped, it still insisted on trying.
Sure enough, when Xiaobai lost its mind, Lin Chen shouted stop, and Xiaobai would immediately halt.
Lin Chen was relieved, but unexpectedly, Xiaobai asked Lin Chen to try again after waking up.
"...It must be really scared now."
Lin Chen tried once more and found it still worked.
This was equivalent to Sun Wukong’s Tightening Spell.
After waking up for the third time, Xiaobai finally mooed happily.
"Come, try the barbaric bloodline under Tier One and see if there’s any change in the Skill?" Lin Chen said.
Xiaobai nodded and activated its Tier One barbaric bloodline, and this time it was completely unaffected.
Under Lin Chen’s expectation, Xiaobai launched its full Iron Horn Impact.
"There’s a change..."
Lin Chen was surprised.
Seeing the Iron Horn Impact under Tier One barbaric bloodline, a faint fourth Residual Shadow could be seen.
But it was very faint.
"4.5?"
Lin Chen shook his head with a wry smile and noted it down.
Xiaobai didn’t understand what 4.5 meant, but the power increase was indeed not much.
"Reaching 4.5 means you’re not far from breaking through to five," Lin Chen encouraged, "I believe, with diligence, without entering the second stage of barbaric bloodline, you can also perform the feat of Five-Ox Fusion in one go."
Hearing this, Xiaobai nodded vigorously, then turned and walked into the house.
"Where are you going?" Lin Chen asked.
"Moo~~"
Xiaobai’s eyes were firm and spirited...
It meant:
Take a bath and start training right away.
...
Lin Chen was quite satisfied with Xiaobai’s improvement this time, not only being able to activate and control the barbaric bloodline but also learning how to balance Xiaobai’s mindlessness.
In this way, at crucial moments, Lin Chen could even let Xiaobai enter Mad Bull Mode.
However, Lin Chen just thought of it, and in most cases, he wouldn’t use this move.
With about ten days left before the Cow King Competition, Xiaobai’s training became more rigorous.
As for Lin Chen, he once again became a diligent worker, starting to grind powder.
Though Lin Chen earned more now, the expenses were also large.
Apart from often buying Spirit Beast Meat, he also had to buy supplements and better Spirit Grass.
All these were significant expenses.
Therefore, Lin Chen’s funds remained around eight hundred thousand and did not surge dramatically.
However, Lin Chen would occasionally take out some pocket money for the two Spirit Beasts...
After all, if it weren’t for Little Fox suggesting setting up a stall, Lin Chen wouldn’t have this income now.
"...Its pocket money should be over a thousand by now." Lin Chen thought, glancing at Little Fox.
Every day upon waking, the first thing Xiaobai does is take a bath.
Every day upon waking, the first thing Little Fox does is check the Coin Bank, and then it goes to cook.
...
Ten days flew by, and Lin Chen did not expect that on the day before departure, Xiaobai even broke through Level 1.
That meant Xiaobai was now at Level 16.
Lin Chen wasn’t too surprised about this.
After all, it had been almost a month, and Xiaobai had also undergone a bloodline refinement during that time.
"This will increase the odds of seizing the Heart of the Ox King..." Lin Chen was quite hopeful.
After agreeing with Qin Hao and the others to meet at the guild, Lin Chen also asked Qin Shaoshao, but he wasn’t interested. However, Lin Chen didn’t expect Lee Zhen to say that he would go too.
"What are you going for?" Lin Chen was surprised, thinking why was this guild leader idling?
"I’m a special guest." Lee Zhen showed off his guest badge and said, "Do you know the value of a special invite?"
"..."
Lin Chen and the others were speechless, but Bai Jiajia said, "Guild Master, can you take us to watch in the VIP section?"
"Technically, no."
The group was disappointed.
Lee Zhen, holding up his badge again, said, "But now the rules are in my hands, so..."
He said proudly, "Let’s see how you perform."
The three were delighted and immediately flattered Lee Zhen.
Lin Chen shook his head with a wry smile, followed them, and boarded the Gale Beast heading to Black Mountain City.
This time, it was still Wu Ying, the guild master of Black Mountain City, who received them.
As neighboring cities, the two guilds often help each other resist the Beast Tide and join forces on missions, so their relationship was very good.
This time, the special guest badge was also given to Lee Zhen by Wu Ying.
After settling in, Wu Ying looked at Lin Chen and said, "You’ve caused me quite a bit of trouble."
Lin Chen was surprised and said, "Senior, I don’t recall offending you."
"Because of your feat of finding a cave within a cave last time, now every Monster Hunter who can’t find a cave entrance suspects if there’s a cave within a cave..." Wu Ying sighed, "It’s annoying, there’s one right under their feet, yet they insist on thinking it’s a cave within a cave."
"..."
Lin Chen and the others were speechless.
After eating, Lin Chen said, "Guild leader, do you have time?"
"Spit it out." Lee Zhen was always very blunt with Lin Chen.
"I want to buy some fruit and visit Senior Xu Youzhen."
"Ah?"
"He helped me last time, so I should visit." Lin Chen said.
"Alright, I rarely come to Black Mountain City anyways, I’ll catch up with that old guy." Lee Zhen stood up and then said, "I haven’t seen you express gratitude to me..."
Lin Chen immediately turned his head and heard Lee Zhen say, "No, you’re definitely up to something again, planning to ask for his help, right?"
"Guild leader, your misunderstanding of me is getting deeper."
"Let’s go quickly." Lee Zhen walked outside, and Lin Chen hurried to follow.
