Chapter 41

Combining what she had seen on the world channel before, Xia Mo roughly guessed the White-Faced Ghost's intention of adding her.

When she was in the Dark Night Nest, she saw that Heiyu Qingtian wanted to win her over, but she turned around as if unintentionally to block them. She didn't expect that they hadn't given up yet.

After thinking about it, I realized that simply avoiding it was not a solution. I had to make things clear sooner or later, so I agreed.

[White-faced ghost: Hello, black]

Xia Mo saw the message, pulled out his black horse and ran towards the teleportation point, replying: [Hello]

[White-Faced Ghost: You left too hastily in the dungeon earlier, and the Guild Master didn't have time to discuss things with you. I want to discuss something with you now. Are you free now?]

Can she shut up just because she says she is busy?

Xia Mo typed two words back: [You say]

[White-Faced Ghost: We'd like to invite you to join the Black Domain Kingdom. Your achievements are evident to all. If you join, you can skip our normal promotion process and become an administrator directly. However, since you're being parachuted in, your rank is the lowest among the administrators. I hope you understand this. However, your monthly salary will be 20% higher than those at the same level. If the guild obtains Star Officer skill books or Star Officer Gold-quality equipment or above, you will be given priority. So, are our offers sincere enough?]

Sincerity? Xia Mo's eyes flashed with disapproval.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and there is no such thing as free benefits in the Black Domain Kingdom.

Their guild's management model was too strict. Although the guild leader, Heiyu Qingtian, hadn't done anything particularly outrageous back then, in the eyes of the players, he was always a person in power who had the final say.

Xia Mo had no interest in dealing with someone who cared so much about power and control.

Sorry, I'm not suitable for your guild.

The white-faced ghost looked at the reply, was stunned for a moment, and then he slapped the table in the office and laughed out loud.

"Heiyu, you're right. She really doesn't want to join! Hahaha. By the way, how did you know that?"

At this time, there were only him and Heiyu Qingtian in the office. The White-Faced Ghost put aside the fear he had pretended in front of everyone and laughed wildly.

Black Domain Qingtian still had that cold expression on his face: "She deliberately turned around in the dungeon before, interrupting my invitation. I could see it that time."

The white-faced ghost uttered an "ah" and leaned forward: "Then why are you asking me to do this? This is all in vain~"

"It's worth the trouble." Heiyu Qingtian's brows suddenly relaxed, and he looked into the distance thoughtfully. "Find out what she has to say. This way, we at least know what she wants, and then we can cater to her needs."

The white-faced ghost groaned and sat back down: "So, you haven't given up inviting her yet?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, he suddenly became curious: "Heiyu, you also said that she has a free nature and is not subject to constraints or discipline. Are you really willing to let such a person join the guild?"

Deep down, Heiyu Qingtian was unwilling.

Anyone or anything beyond his control will disgust him.

But he knew one thing, if he didn't take her under his wing, if she joined another guild in the future, that guild would most likely compete with their Black Domain Kingdom.

In "The Protoss", the Black Domain Kingdom must always be number one, and he will never give this position to others.

His eyes turned colder. Hei Yu Qing Tian did not answer Bai Mian Gui's second question, but said, "Ask her next time you have a chance. And."

He paused deliberately before speaking, "Deduct 30% from the KPIs for this month for Eight-Foot Long Pole, Garlic Head, the Warlock, and the Star Officer. As Vice President, your leadership has been ineffective, so deduct 20%. Furthermore, according to Article 39, you must earn 100 points for the guild this month, or your guild status will be automatically downgraded next month."

Guessing that there would be a settlement afterwards, the White-Faced Ghost knew that he had made a mistake in commanding this dungeon, and there was nothing to defend himself, so he shrugged and said, "Okay, I'll tell them later."

*

When Xia Mo found that the white-faced ghost no longer bothered her, she thought that he was quite sensible and blocked him immediately.

It only took Xia Mo 12 minutes to ride from the Kodo River Beach to the Babule Mine. After arriving at the address, she tied the horse to a tree and walked towards the mine.

The Babu rat bones required for the mission dropped from the Babu rats. Only two pieces were needed in total. Xia Mo did not delay. He walked around the entrance of the mine and quickly dealt with two Babu rats.

She clapped her hands and was about to leave when a pop-up window suddenly appeared in front of her.

[The divine beast Jingjing is very interested in Babuli Mouse]

Xia Mo: ...

She suddenly had a bad feeling.

Out of duty, she let the little guy out even though she was reluctant.

As soon as the little guy missed, he immediately pounced on the corpse of the Babu Rat on the ground with shining eyes!

Xia Mo:?!

Although it was just a game, Xia Mo couldn't help but feel a little disgusted when he saw Jingjing's mouth full of rat meat and his claws digging into the flesh of the Babu Rat.

She took a small step back silently.

Ten minutes later, Jingjing wiped out two Babu rats that were only slightly smaller than it in a flash.

Completely unaware of Xia Mo's disgusted expression, it growled contentedly, turned around, jumped, and leaped into Xia Mo's arms.

Xia Mo:!!!

Help...her armor...

The semen, still stained with the blood and hair of the Babu Rat, came up and Xia Mo was forced to catch it in his arms. At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind - he couldn't keep this little beast!

Of course, it's impossible not to.

Xia Mo could only complain in his mind, but finally he suppressed his nausea, grabbed Jingjing's neck, and scolded her: "Didn't you say you like to eat cooked meat?" Why do you even eat raw mice?

Jingjing opened his innocent eyes and whimpered weakly.

Xia Mo raised his eyebrows and said, "So, you're only willing to eat Babuli rats raw, and the others still need to be cooked?"

Jingjing blinked happily.

At the same time, Xia Mo felt something refreshed.

She put the little guy on the ground and switched to the battle pet panel.

I saw that the [Flavor] column, which had previously been labeled "Blank", now had the words "Babule Rat (Raw)" added to it.

Xia Mo exclaimed, "What a good guy!"

This is waiting to be unlocked and updated one by one in the future, right?

Although both are divine beasts, juveniles are much more difficult to raise than adults.

As the owner, Xia Mo couldn't stop raising the pet just because of this. However, when he lowered his head and smelled the rat odor coming from the chest, Xia Mo couldn't help but frown.

"Jingjing, after you eat raw meat, especially raw rat meat, don't rub it on me, okay?"

Hearing the sound, the little guy looked up at her with a wronged look on his face, as if asking pitifully why not.

Xia Mo met its eyes, which were clean, clear, and had the cuteness unique to mammals.

Damn, she seems to have softened!

The two sides looked at each other for a few seconds, and finally, Xia Mo was declared defeated.

She stretched out her arms helplessly, and her tone softened: "I give up on you. Fine, if you want to rub it, go ahead~"

The little guy's tail instantly lifted up high, and it howled and jumped happily into Xia Mo's arms.

Thinking that he had been holding it in for a long time recently, Xia Mo did not throw it into the panel immediately. Instead, he interacted with her again, raised its loyalty to 35, and then put it back.

Riding on the little black horse, he continued to rush to the next map, but he didn't know that at this time, a wave of war pets suddenly blew up in various counties and towns.

Time goes back to one hour ago, White Bear’s live broadcast room.

Tang Sheng made a promise to the audience when he ended the live broadcast last night that he would continue to explain the video of the Dragon Battle this morning.

After spending more than half an hour to basically point out the key points of ink operation, he once again received a lot of praise.

[The host spoke very well, keep it up]

[It's been a long time since I saw such a fresh and unconventional game anchor who is not interested in gimmicks but only focuses on analyzing operations. I'm following you, anchor. Please continue to talk next time.]

Some viewers tried hard to praise it, while others focused on the battle pet that Tang Sheng just mentioned.

[Brother Monk, I also play "Protoss". Can you tell me which battle pets are more suitable? ]

[Yes, I also saw this function updated, but now I am confused and have no idea how to select it or where to select it. Please give me some directions.]

[That's not right. Why don't I see this feature? Is it my fault?]

Seeing the flurry of inquiries, Tang Sheng quickly put down his cup. "The battle pet feature is only available after the player reaches level 10. Those viewers in the comments section who said they didn't see this feature might be because they haven't reached level 10 yet."

[Oh, no wonder, I'm not maxed out yet, I'm only level 7 now]

Tang Sheng smiled and continued to answer the questions raised by several audience members.

"Regarding where to buy battle pets, the official has given two options: one is to buy them from the battle pet shops in various towns or the royal city, and the other is to catch them in the wild."

"Based on my many years of gaming experience, my advice to new players is to buy them directly from the store. Raising a Protoss pet is challenging, especially for juveniles. Diet, combat, skill acquisition, and loyalty training are all challenging. If you neglect any of these, your pet might become useless."

"So, Brother Seng, what about buying an adult? That shouldn't be as problematic as you think, right?"

Tang Sheng nodded. "Yes, just buy an adult form. Although its potential and attributes are already determined, the advantage is that players don't have to worry about it. As long as you don't rush the rankings and don't PK with others frequently, an ordinary adult form is enough."

[But I'm still attracted to the juvenile form. Look at the video Monk Brother just made. The one called Mo Se pulled out a cat-like battle pet at the end. It's so small, but it actually dealt such high damage to the Black Domain Kingdom's Team 1! I want it too!]

[Well, that's true. It's a bit time-consuming, but if you raise it well, it can fight even better than its owner.]

Gradually, some people in the comment section began to support the juvenile form. Seeing this, Tang Sheng coughed twice.

"My dear audience, the one in Mo Se's hand is not an ordinary battle pet."

What is that?

"It's a mythical beast, one of the ancient mythical beasts mentioned in the ancient book 'Classic of Mountains and Seas'. It has very strong combat power and is a natural warrior."

[Holy crap, a divine beast! The gods even have this thing?!]

Tang Sheng: "Yes, but the official website's introduction is very simple and the layout is small, so I guess many people haven't seen it. The attributes of mythical beasts are completely different from ordinary battle pets. Let me put it this way, if an ordinary battle pet is compared to a small mine, then a mythical beast is a nuclear weapon, completely on the same level."

"So even though the divine beast in Mo Se's hand is still in its juvenile form, I estimate that its attributes can surpass most adult battle pets."

[!!! Is it that powerful?! Streamer, please tell me where I can get a mythical beast! The price doesn't matter, I have money, I just want one!]

Seeing the three words "I'm rich", Tang Sheng and the audience felt as if their hearts were stabbed hard.

However, as a professional anchor, Tang Sheng would not show these emotions and still had a smile on his face.

"My friend, 'I'm Not Short of Money,' you really can't buy a Divine Beast with money. First, Divine Beasts are extremely rare on the Pergas Continent. As far as I know, there are only about 400 of them. Secondly, there's no way to buy Divine Beasts; they can only be encountered and captured in the wild. Just look for yourself: even the members of the Black Domain Kingdom, the top guild with the most money, don't have any Divine Beasts. This shows how difficult it is to obtain one. So, my friend, this isn't just about money..."

[It’s about looks… I understand.]

What Tang Sheng wants to correct is that it is not about looks, but about fate.

The divine beast in Mo Se's hand was actually something he had seen before in the town of Buluo, but at that time... Well, it was a regret he had, as he thought it was just a wild monster and didn't take it seriously.

However, after he found that he had become the battle pet in Mo Se's hands, he suddenly realized that he had missed out on the divine beast with extremely powerful combat power!

Unfortunately, there is no way, missed it is missed, it is his fault that he did not have the insight at that time, he deserves to be conquered by Mo Se.

To be frank, Tang Sheng felt that even if time could go back and the mythical beast was placed in front of this group of audiences, they would probably not even take a second look at it.

As the saying goes, a good horse needs a good rider. Obviously, he and most players are not that kind of person.

Because of this live broadcast, players started rushing to the battle pet store after returning to the game. Some enthusiastic ones even shouted on the world channel, urging everyone to quickly choose the battle pet that suits them.

*

Xia Mo arrived at the place where clumps of grass grew. He had just cut a few bundles of grass when he saw his friend's backstage flashing like he was having a seizure.

First of all, it can be ruled out that it is definitely not the White-Faced Ghost, as the latter has been blocked by her.

Secondly, it couldn't be Qingshui. He has always been gentle and is not the kind of person who likes to criticize others.

In the end, it won't be Fenghuo. Fenghuo is now very respectful to her and basically doesn't bother her except for matters related to the crystal.

That leaves only that guy...

An ID immediately popped up in Xia Mo’s mind - 48-degree boiling water.

The guy who woke her up in the middle of the night just to get close to her friend.

I didn’t know what the other party wanted, so I opened the panel and found that it was indeed him.

[48-degree boiling water: Boss, Boss, sorry to bother you, I want to ask you something.]

[48 Degrees Boiling Water: Where can I buy your battle pet? Is it expensive?]

[Forty-Eight Degrees Boiling Water: Oh right, you helped me and Ice last time, and I haven't had time to thank you yet. Yesterday, we accidentally bought a Star Officer weapon, a Star Staff. It's a tier three silver quality, and the stats are pretty good. However, since it's not first-hand, the durability is a bit worn. I thought you might need it, so could you take a look at it, sir?]

"I bought it by accident," Xia Mo raised the corner of his mouth slightly. This kind of excuse can only be used to deceive others, but to deceive her? It's still too naive.

He and Thirty-Seven Degrees Ice, an assassin and a hunter, have no connection with the Star Official. How could they have accidentally bought the Star Official's weapons?

Xia Mo probably bought it specially for her, wanting to repay the favor he had done them last time.

Without exposing him, Xia Mo continued: [Send it and see]

The other party quickly sent a screenshot.

Xia Mo took a look and found that the attributes were indeed good, and the durability was not a big problem. The durability of a full grid of third-level silver was 300, and this one had 260, so there was still a lot left, which was enough for a while.

And even so, Xia Mo estimated that this weapon was not cheap, and it must have cost a lot of money for boiling water and ice.

But since the other party offered it, why would she refuse? So she said: [Okay]

Opposite: [Then I will mail it to you! ]

Xia Mo replied with a "hmm".

Then I typed a reply to his previous question: [My battle pet is a mythical beast, and it can't be bought in the store. If you want a battle pet with better potential, you can capture it in high-level maps. It's just that training it will be more time-consuming, so if you want to be more convenient, just buy it directly. It's up to you.]

That was all she could say. The rest of the choice depended on their wishes.

After getting her advice, 48-degree boiling water thanked her repeatedly.

Soon, the weapons sent by the other party were delivered to her by the NPC.

Xia Mo took off the original one and installed the new one, and her [Intelligence] increased significantly again.

Carrying the collected raw materials, she rushed to the town of Buluo without stopping.

As soon as he saw her, Brett's face turned sour: "The time for the task assigned to you is almost up. Are you sure you still have time?"

Xia Mo apologized with a smile and handed over 12 silver coins: "Mr. Bright, don't worry, there is still time. I need to rent a high-end studio today."

Time is still a bit tight, and only by choosing an advanced studio can the forging efficiency be improved.

Few people in the town rent high-end studios, let alone high-end studios. Not many players are willing to spend money on mid-level studios. When Brett saw her offer 12 silver coins, he immediately stopped expressing his dissatisfaction.

"...Well, then you should forge well and don't let me down."

"If you don't understand anything, you can come to me."

See, this is the power of money, no one can refuse it.

Xia Mo's eyes curved, and he strode into the blacksmith shop: "Okay, thank you Mr. Bright."
