Chapter 20

The little guy couldn't speak, he just looked at her, but at this moment, Xia Mo understood his intention.

It is not enough for players to have good intentions. If they want to fully gain the recognition of the divine beast, they must also demonstrate sufficient strength.

Xia Mo had fully demonstrated this strength in his previous battle with the mutated stone beast.

Xia Mo smiled knowingly and clicked [Agree]

A circle of light enveloped her and the little fellow at the same time, and a familiar sense of contract came over them.

After a few seconds, the aperture disappeared and a battle pet panel appeared in front of her eyes.

The attributes of the little divine beast were so amazing that Xia Mo didn't know where to start to be surprised.

Let’s start with what surprised her the most – her talent.

What makes divine beasts more powerful than ordinary battle pets is that they possess valuable talents, which are somewhat similar to the player's passive skills and will be triggered randomly during combat.

Don't think it's just random. According to Xia Mo's calculations back then, there is about a 30%-50% chance. If the loyalty of the beast is maintained high enough, it is possible to reach 60%-70%.

This is why so many people back then were racking their brains trying to get a divine beast. Never mind whether its loyalty was high or not, even if it only had a 30% trigger rate, it was unknown how much more damage it could help the player deal.

And this does not even take into account the superior attack attributes of the mythical beast itself.

For example, the little guy in front of us has quite impressive attacks. At only 6 months old, its [Strength] for physical attacks and [Intelligence] for controlling spell attacks are higher than those of some ordinary adult combat pets.

Coupled with the little guy's extremely outstanding growth coefficient, Xia Mo took a deep breath, as if he had already seen its majestic appearance in the future.

The growth coefficient is related to the attribute growth of the battle pet. The higher the coefficient, the greater the increase in the attributes of the battle pet.

The mythical beast that Xia Mo picked up that year had a growth coefficient of 2.01, which was already the envy of many people, not to mention the little guy's 2.13. If other people knew about it, I wonder what kind of wave of craze for grabbing the mythical beast would be triggered?

However, the little guy is not completely without weaknesses. Compared with its excellent attributes in all aspects, its defense is really a bit disappointing, only 63.

Xia Mo touched her nose awkwardly. Maybe... it was because of her fragile master?

Click on the little guy's talent details.

[Night Battle: During night battles, attack and defense capabilities are not affected by the night, and attack capability is increased by 1.1]

[Combo: There is a certain chance to complete two consecutive attacks]

They all have very good talents, and the more Xia Mo looks at them, the more satisfied he becomes.

Finally, it’s time for the skill - [Thunder Strike: Causes physical damage to a single target, no read bar or freeze time]

Although the little guy is good at both physical and attack skills, his skills are physical. Xia Mo stared at the panel and thought about it, and decided that if he had the chance in the future, he would let it learn magic skills as well, and strive to become a hexagonal beast!

Perhaps seeing that she was concentrating on the panel, the little guy let out a cry, reminding her of its presence.

Xia Mo looked at it with a smile and immediately named it "Jingjing", which means "little spoiled child".

[Please confirm the name of the mythical beast (Note: Once confirmed, it cannot be modified)]

【confirm】

The panel refreshed, and Jingjing sensed something. It blinked its still somewhat confused eyes, as if it was still digesting its new name.

Xia Mo tried to call it: "Jingjing, come here~"

The latter was stunned at first, and then finally realized that it had a name. It immediately spread out its four legs and jumped down the cliff happily.

Xia Mo caught it and rubbed its furry face affectionately.

In the past, she always watched others obsessed with petting cats, but she herself was separated by a layer of star network and had no sense of experience. Now that she is reborn and it is her turn, Xia Mo only wants to say: Cat petting gets old very quickly!

After the man and the beast interacted for a while, Jingjing's loyalty to her increased by another 2 points.

Xia Mo actually wanted to suck it, but when he thought about the things that the giant stone beast exploded and he hadn't picked them up yet, he quickly stopped and regained his composure.

All kinds of colorful things were flashing on the ground. Xia Mo picked up the potions first. There were both red and blue potions, more than 10 bottles in total.

The second thing is equipment. To be honest, she didn't pay much attention to her equipment when she came back this time. Except for the robe given by Quinn and the fox hat given by Aunt Nina, she didn't change her other equipment.

The main thing is that there is really no need to change it.

Even without relying on equipment, she still managed to kill the level 18 mutant stone beast, right?

However, one should not be too arrogant. Xia Mo, who is already level 10, knows very well that once he leaves the town of Buluo, the world outside will only become more cruel.

It doesn’t matter if you have poor equipment now, but if you want to make a name for yourself in the outside world, good equipment is essential.

After picking and choosing among the spoils, Xia Mo finally picked up a wristband, a pair of pants, a pair of boots, and some accessories.

Name: Stone Bracers

Quality: Level 3 Black Iron

Durability: 100

General attributes: Strength +12, Intelligence +7, Spell Defense +6, Physical Defense +10

Special attributes: None

Name: Stone Pants

Quality: Level 3 Black Iron

Durability: 100

General attributes: Health +11, Magic +11, Agility +6, Balance +2

Special attributes: None

Name: Stone Boots

Quality: Level 3 Black Iron

Durability: 100

General attributes: Health +8, Magic +8, Agility +13, Balance +3

Special attributes: None

All three items are of black iron quality. They cannot be compared with silver robes and hats, but considering the current level, they are sufficient.

In addition to the three pieces of equipment, Xia Mo also picked up some accessories.

Rings, bracelets, and necklaces are classified as accessories. When she was reborn, these three parts were all empty and not worn. At this time, the stone beast happened to drop the corresponding accessories, so of course she had to pick them up.

However, it is a pity that the quality of these three items is not very high, only first-level black iron.

But it's better than nothing.

Moreover, Xia Mo wore them not for that tiny bit of attribute value, but for...

[Wearing ≥ 3 pieces of Megalithic Beast equipment will grant you Megalithic Blessing: HP +2%]

[Wearing ≥ 6 pieces of Megalithic Beast equipment, receiving Megalithic Blessing: Attack and Defense +2%]

She did it for this - the set bonus.

Equipment dropped from the same monster will receive certain attribute bonuses if the number of pieces worn is ≥3, ≥6, or ≥9. This bonus is more valuable than three pieces of jewelry.

After putting on the equipment and accessories, there were not many things left that the stone beast exploded. Xia Mo took a look and saw that only some medicinal herbs and special minerals were left at the bottom of the valley.

She knew all these herbs. Not only did she know them, but she was very familiar with them. They were one of the materials for refining medicine and could increase the upper limit of a person's Qi and blood.

As to why she was familiar with it, it was because, in addition to being a top miner, she was also an equally outstanding pharmacist.

"Protoss" does not limit the number of life professions that players can choose. As long as the player is willing, he or she can learn up to 10.

However, considering the limited energy and money, most players still focus on 1-2 life professions.

Xia Mo chose to be a miner and a pharmacist back then.

However, in this new life, Xia Mo didn't want to choose either of them. She had already asked Fenghuo to learn the mining skills, and she could just buy the ore she forged from him in the future.

If Fenghuo gave up halfway, she would just look for another miner.

As for the pharmacist...

She used to be a priest and needed a lot of potions to restore health and heal injuries. Of course, refining medicine for herself was the least troublesome way, so she chose the path of refining medicine.

But that is not the case now. After the great war between humans and gods, Xia Mo realized that being an engineer would be more suitable for her now.

Xia Mo put the herbs and minerals into his backpack and planned to take them to the business to sell them for money later.

After doing all this, Xia Mo did not forget the newly acquired talent scroll. He had to learn this as well, otherwise he would just keep it as a decoration?

Clicking on the talent panel, the talent point previously obtained is lying quietly in the circle at the bottom. Above the circle, there is a densely packed tree diagram.

These dendrograms have not yet been highlighted and therefore appear gray.

Xia Mo dragged the talent scroll into the circle at the bottom, clicked [Inspire Talent], and the scroll and talent point merged into one.

A gorgeous colorful special effect flashed by, and the next second, a light blue compressor icon appeared on the left side of the first row of the tree diagram.

Click on the icon and take a look——【Cooling Compression】

OK, this means she has successfully learned it. From now on, the cooldown time of all her skills will be shortened by 15%.

After doing all this, Xia Mo suddenly received a transfer notification.

[Player "Boiling Cabbage in Clear Water" transfers 18 silver coins to you]

The friend icon also flashes at the same time.

[Boiling Cabbage in Water: Did you receive the transfer? ]

Xia Mo: [I got it. But why so many?]

It’s just a level 5 copy, how could she get so much money?

[Boiling Cabbage in Clear Water: I'm dividing the points based on everyone's DPS. You contributed the most, so you deserve the highest points.]

Xia Mo's eyes flashed: [Okay, thank you]

It was indeed the Qingshui she knew, honest, gentle, and capable. It was no wonder that such a person occupied a place in the world ranking.

But these are things for the future, Xia Mo prepared to close the dialog box.

Suddenly, a new message came from the other side: [Players can create guilds after level 10. I'm going to apply for one. Do you want to join?]

Xia Mo naturally knew Qingshui's guild, which was called [Qingyao Zhishang], a combination of the characters in his and his sister Yunyao's ID. Like Taotao's [Tao Yu Ye], it was ranked in the top ten of the world guild list, and was very powerful in both reputation and strength.

Xia Mo once wanted to join them, but... because Xu Xiaobei insisted on joining another guild, he was forced to give up.

Xia Mo didn't expect Qingshui to take the initiative to invite her.

However, she still refused.

【Mo Se: Sorry, I can’t join you now】

Seeing her reply, Qingshui's eyes flickered in surprise.

He noticed that she didn't say she wouldn't join, but rather "couldn't join now."

Could there be another reason? Qingshui thought about it, but didn't ask the question in his heart.

Everyone has their own privacy and concerns. He would not ask too many questions, but would choose to respect them. So he said: "Okay, when you are willing to join, please feel free to contact me."

【Ink color: good】

After exiting the chat interface, Xia Mo looked at the high cliff with a frown.

Emotionally, she was willing to join Qingshui, but her reason told her that now was not the time.

In her previous life, she was dragged into the Absolute Dynasty by Xu Xiaobei, and the old accounts between them have not been settled yet. If she joins Qingshui's guild, it is very likely that Qingshui and the others will be implicated.

Personal grudges should be resolved by individuals, and she can join after everything is over.

While thinking, Xia Mo suddenly felt something hard under his feet.

She lifted her foot and saw a key lying in the crushed moss.

Xia Mo was suspicious and picked it up.

A line of description immediately appeared above the key: The legendary Tomb City, it turns out the key to open it is here.

Tomb city!

A special level 20 copy!

In order to open this underground tomb city, countless players searched everywhere for the key, but even after everyone reached level 30, they still couldn't find any clues.

Who would have thought that the key to unlock it was on the mutant giant stone beast?

Xia Mo blew the hair on his forehead and exclaimed that the game was awesome.

Putting the key into his backpack, Xia Mo planned to wait until he reached level 20 before making an appointment to go to the Tomb City.

Now, she needs to deliver the letter given by the mayor, and by the way, go to [Tower of the Holy Dragon Valley] to see if the dragon has awakened.
