Chapter 82 Bad News: There are Dream Tears | Good News: No Famous Sword Sun Bin [Please Order First]
Zhang Jun soothed him, "I'm sorry, little brother. I'd love to be flexible, but military rules are military rules. Even a true quasi-S-rank commander can't change them. I was just temporarily brought in to cover for you, so there's nothing I can do."
"Besides, you were specially approved to live in the A-level area and have such a good pet. I believe your future is limitless, and you must have made outstanding contributions to the country."
"If I let you in, the higher-ups will give me trouble. You'd better just wait here peacefully. It's almost over."
"This is a saturation crackdown. Your friend from the Administration and your kitten should have been immediately protected. There's really no need to worry too much about their safety."
Lu Wenwu was a little surprised.
The other party didn't recognize him and was surprisingly easy to talk to.
Just now, the other party mentioned a word that he had never heard of before - spirit pet.
Is it not uncommon to bring pets into the dungeon in A-level?
Isn't that right?
Didn’t the information Liu Ming brought previously show that he was the first person to own a pet?
There are many problems.
But right now, none of that matters.
Lu Wenwu only cares about the safety of Xiaobao and Liu Ming.
He was so anxious that the blood in his body kept surging, and the power of the scorching sun even began to make the surroundings continue to heat up.
Maomao was also spinning around the edge, and the two different burning forces echoed each other.
A series of "Urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent" were written on the faces of the man and the dog.
He was just short of carving "I am King Jiji" on his face.
Zhang Jun looked at them like this, smiled and sighed: "You two, it seems that you and that kitten have a very good relationship."
"Of course, Maomao and Xiaobao are like my family! They're the only ones who keep me company when I'm alone!" Lu Wenwu, restrained and unable to move, looked resentful. "If it were you, wouldn't you be anxious?"
"Woof woof woof! The dog is so worried!" Maomao also said aggrievedly, "Fat uncle, please let the dog and the owner go in and rescue big brother, okay?"
"Come on, come on, stop looking at me with such pity. I, Old Zhang, can't bear to see a puppy suffer."
Zhang Jun touched Maomao's head with a helpless smile, scratched its chin, and stared into its eyes for a long time without coming back to his senses.
"Is it not enough for me to help you? Sigh."
Zhang Jun suddenly said something, raised his leg and took a step forward, and his figure suddenly disappeared into the void.
But the restraining force that controlled Lu Wenwu did not disappear, but instead brought him down to the ground.
About ten seconds later.
Zhang Jun reappeared in front of the master and pet, holding an oversized airline box in his left hand and Liu Ming, who looked shocked, in his right hand.
"No, I brought your friend and kitten out for you. I told you they were safe!"
Liu Ming was still holding tightly in his hands a large can of dried fish that belonged to Xiaobao, plus a box of canned food.
Xiaobao was sleeping soundly in the luxurious airline box.
As if sensing a familiar breath, the sensitive cat ears twitched twice, and Xiaobao finally opened his sleepy eyes and glanced at the two masters and pets, and let out a lazy cat meow.
"Meow~"
"Oh my god, Maomao and I were so nervous, but you, little thing, were sleeping so soundly!"
After Lu Wenwu thanked Zhang Jun, he pulled the sleepy Xiaobao out of the airline box and rubbed him in his hands.
Then he successfully received a familiar Phantom Meow Fist.
The angry Xiaobao moved his position, stretched out his limbs and lay on Maomao's back to continue sleeping.
Maomao happily carried his big cat brother on his back and trotted around in circles, his tail wagging.
Ever since Maomao awakened his Huodou bloodline, the warmth-loving kitten has been very impressed with this mobile warm bed and often lies on its back.
Maomao himself was happy about it and never complained.
"Damn, this little thing has such a big heart!"
Lu Wenwu complained about his little cat, and at the same time looked at Liu Ming who was still a little confused, smiled and walked up to him and gave him a big hug.
"Good brother, thanks for thinking of Xiaobao. I'll treat you to some stuffed pancakes later."
"Ah? Ah! It's okay, it's okay. This is what I should do."
It was not until this time that Liu Ming finally came to his senses and smiled with relief.
but
When his gaze turned to the kitten who was falling asleep again, his expression was extremely strange.
"Actually, even if I didn't go, Xiaobao should be fine. He's very lucky and surprisingly brave."
Lu Wenwu: “???”
ah?
This time it was Lu Wenwu's turn to be confused.
What's going on?
Liu Ming continued to explain, "This manifestation came suddenly, but fortunately the intensity wasn't too high. Plus, this is an A-rank area, so the situation was quickly brought under control. By the time I arrived, the battle on Street 1, where you live, had already ended."
"Then why do you say it's lucky?" Lu Wenwu was a little confused.
Zhang Jun, who had been enjoying himself for a while, said with a smile, "The villas on Street 1 were almost all destroyed, but yours was the only one that remained intact. It was even temporarily requisitioned as an internal safe house. I only realized it was your house after I went in."
"So top?"
Lu Wenwu was suddenly moved.
After traveling through time for so long, has my aura of a European traveler finally started to work?
"That's nothing," Liu Ming continued. "When I found Xiaobao in the house, he was sleeping soundly on the climbing frame in the living room, completely unaffected by the outside world. Tell me, he doesn't look like a cat at all. I even think he's braver than me."
"It seems like it's always been pretty courageous," Lu Wenwu said, stroking his chin. "Or maybe it's that Xiaobao is just as disdainful of everything? Well, it really is worthy of being my cat, pretty cool!"
"Haha, what a cute little cat." Zhang Jun couldn't help but gently touch Xiaobao twice. "You have both a cat and a dog, and one of them is a top-grade spiritual pet. What enviable luck."
"Senior Zhang, could you tell me more about spirit pets?" Lu Wenwu asked calmly, "I just recently went to a dungeon with Maomao, and I'm in urgent need of some guidance from a knowledgeable senior like you."
"Haha, these are all trivial matters. It's normal that you don't know about them when you first come into contact with them. After all, this thing only became common after the B stage, and the country probably hasn't given you the information yet."
Zhang Jun seemed to enjoy this very much. The smile on his chubby face became even more pronounced, and his words and actions became more cordial.
"Spirit pets are what we call them here. Other countries also call them contracted beasts, battle pets, beast soldiers, and so on."
"The dungeons are all kinds of strange and all-encompassing. There are not only the common types like weird, supernatural, apocalyptic, and catastrophic, but also rare ones like the world of immortal cultivation, cyberpunk world, fantasy world, and so on."
"In those rare worlds, players have the opportunity to obtain the favor of some exotic creatures, such as eggs, cubs, or even adults."
"Players use the system's contract to bring creatures into the system and sign a contract with them. The contracted creatures are then called spirit pets."
"The benefit of having a powerful pet is naturally that it can increase your adaptability, provide you with more means to fight against enemies, and increase your overall strength."
"The downside is that the owner needs to split up their resources and invest more in training them."
"You should know that having a pet is very convenient when you're going through dungeons, but you need to figure out all the skills and resources yourself, which is really expensive."
"After all, they can't obtain spirit coins or level rewards, and they don't have the ability to quickly overcome periods of weakness like we can by exchanging attribute points and acceleration cards from the mall. If you're slow in acquiring resources, you're likely to be dragged down and collapse."
Speaking of this, Zhang Jun's tone was full of emotion, and the look he gave Maomao was inevitably a little complicated.
"Raising a spirit pet takes time, and getting it to keep up with the player takes even more time. Many people even deliberately choose not to complete the main quest in certain dungeons in order to raise their spirit pets, resulting in failure and leveling down."
"I strongly don't recommend this. If one day your pet can't keep up with you, the best option is to give up decisively."
"What are levels? Levels have never been a measure of player strength. In gaming terms, they're more like ranks, like hidden points in the game, used by the system to facilitate dungeon matching."
"Those foolish fellows deliberately failed the main quests in certain dungeons in order to train their spirit pets, reaching the [Failure] level and thus losing levels, then trying to become the Sword God of Shilipu at some stage."
"In my opinion, this is extremely stupid."
"Maybe it could be done in a normal cultivation world, but on our Blue Star, it's absolutely impossible."
"You can survive in a single-player dungeon, but with countless transcendents participating in a world dungeon, how can you survive?"
"Players of the same period may have already reached two or three levels higher, but he is still stuck in the low-level fishing, refusing to step out of his comfort zone."
"Over time, their ambition and sharpness are lost, their talent and spiritual energy are extinguished, and such people will never amount to anything in their lives!"
"Some people believe that the system is the source of disaster for Blue Planet, but I don't think so."
"My view is that the system provides humanity and the Blue Planet with the only chance of survival, the only hope of survival."
"What's the point of livestreaming the initial dungeon? It's so that those who are gifted and show exceptional talent from the start can avoid being targeted by the Forerunners and thus killed midway."
"And what is the significance of dungeons and systems? They are to help those with talent quickly improve and reach the level they are supposed to be at."
"The improvement from D to C might not be that obvious, but from C to B, and B to A, the benefits of each major upgrade are several times greater than the previous instance."
"Those top-level skills, powerful techniques, rare materials, and rare treasures are simply not found in low-level dungeons. Each one can completely transform a player."
"Let's take the simplest example. Even if you're incredibly lucky and incredibly talented, if you stay at C rank your entire life, you won't be able to directly unlock [Wendao]-level skills and techniques from the mysterious lucky bag given in hidden quests, let alone [Legendary] or [Mythical]-level equipment."
"I believe you must know what the mysterious lucky bag is."
"But I think you might not know that the level of the items in the Mysterious Lucky Bag is related to your current level. Aside from special levelless items, the rest are only one level higher at most."
"Don't hold onto the ridiculous idea that 'because I have some special ability, I can just stay at a low level and keep grinding for the Mysterious Lucky Bags' and really stay there and not move up."
"If that's the case, you'll just keep doubting your life, wondering 'Why am I so unlucky?' and 'Why can't I get anything good?'"
"To sum up, speaking from a perspective of someone who's experienced this, if you can't guarantee at least an Excellent rating or higher every time you play a dungeon, and complete at least one side quest, I personally don't recommend raising a spirit pet, unless it's truly exceptional."
"You are very talented, but please don't give up a bright future for some short-term benefits."
Lu Wenwu: “.”
Listening to Zhang Jun's heartfelt emotions and sermons, he was silent.
The spirit pet cannot be upgraded, cannot obtain attribute points, and cannot be used in the mall?
Then this spirit pet does sound pretty rubbish.
No wonder Uncle Zhang in front of me advised me not to cultivate a spiritual pet.
It's totally incomparable to my own Maomao!
Although Maomao brings double the difficulty, the double income and the same basic income are still very attractive!
What's more, after the basic reward of the B-level copy was increased this time, Maomao can also enjoy the spirit coin rewards of side copies and hidden tasks, which is very comfortable.
What?
It turns out that Maomao is considered a pet in the system classification?
That's okay!
Lu Wenwu bowed and said, "I see. Thank you for your help."
Senior Zhang Jun, who looks like a greasy middle-aged uncle, is a bit nagging and has a bit of a know-it-all attitude.
But Lu Wenwu knew in his heart that what he said was from the bottom of his heart and was a lesson learned with blood and tears.
"Hey, it's not a profound question. You'll figure it out if you hang around for a few days." Zhang Jun waved his hand. "I'm at Villa 4, Thirteenth Street. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
"Senior, you're such a kind person," Lu Wenwu praised sincerely. "Let me treat you to some egg-filled pancakes! My egg-filled pancakes are delicious!"
"It's only natural for the old to guide the new." Zhang Jun laughed. "Don't call me senior. That's not popular in our time. Call me Uncle Zhang, Old Zhang, or Brother Zhang. Anything is fine."
"Okay, Uncle Zhang, would you like to try my cooking? Liu Ming, come and make some together. I've researched a new recipe in this dungeon."
"Then I have to make some!"
"Wow! It smells so good? You're really good!"
"Come on, Uncle Zhang, try this. This one is better than the one just now."
"Wait!? The level of the All-Purpose Divine Being! Your egg-filled pancake is at the level of the All-Purpose Divine Being!? And it even inspires spiritual energy! Is this a spiritual meal!?"
"Yes, I like cooking, and I'm just thinking about it when I have nothing to do. Please give it to me for tasting."
"Awesome! I, Old Zhang, got a great bargain today!"
