Finally seeing the ending, Bai Li walked out of the live broadcast room, with the bowl of strawberry jam that he had forgotten to put away after eating it next to him.
Wen Xingyao was sitting next to Bai Li. They had previously shared a virtual screen, so Wen Xingyao naturally saw what Bai Li saw.
Unexpectedly, the rumored mine guard was just a small mine elf, and finally became a player's pet. A large group of players went there with great fanfare but ended up being a foil. This development was something Wen Xingyao had not expected. He felt a little regretful in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would have gone to join in the fun. Even if he didn't get the mine elf's recognition in the end, it would be nice to witness it with his own eyes.
Although they witnessed all this through Mo Song's live broadcast room, there are still some differences between the two.
If Wen Xingyao was just feeling disappointed, then those players who had followed him to the mine at the beginning but lost patience halfway through were really regretting it.
Wow, how did things turn out like this! Is it too late to regret now? If they turn around and go back to look for the person, will they still have a chance to touch the cute elf?
No one knows the answer.
Bai Li just caught a grass carp. He tilted his head and saw that Wen Xingyao's expression seemed a little subtle. He smiled and asked, "Yao Xing, are you thinking about that pet?"
"Yeah." Wen Xingyao did not deny it and directly asked his doubts, "Pets...are they certain creatures in the game? If they are ordinary animals, can they become the player's pets?"
This is a really good question that hits the nail on the head. Bai Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his friend was really quick-witted. He didn't hide anything and explained slowly: "Your guess is correct. As long as it is a living creature, it can become a player's pet in a certain sense. But there are also restrictions. To put it simply... they need to be 'gifted'. You can also think of them as having intelligence, or being much smarter than their peers, in order to be captured by players and become pets."
"Capture?" Wen Xingyao had been listening carefully, but he had a new question after hearing the last part. "But the world notice just now said 'get the recognition of the ore spirits'. What is the difference between the two?"
Bai Li simply stopped throwing the bait into the water and continued to explain, "Of course there is a difference. Ordinary animals exist in reality, but 'ore elves' are made up by me and do not exist at all. You can think of the latter as being much more advanced than the former, so the latter is very picky about finding an owner, which is full of uncertainty. Maybe when you walk on the road, an elf will jump out and say it wants to recognize you as its master."
Oh, that's really uncertain.
Wen Xingyao nodded, indicating that he understood. He calmed down and digested what he had heard for a while, then asked the third question: "So how many pets can a player have at most?"
"Well..." Bai Li thought for a moment and held up three fingers. "At present, I can only have three at most."
After saying this, he quietly patched the pet gameplay. He had actually forgotten about the limit on the number of pets. If there was no limit on the number, if a player had a big imagination and created an army of pets, it would be fun.
Seeing that Xingyao was still in deep thought, Bai Li simply took the initiative to add to the discussion.
Each pet has 1~3 pet skills. Generally speaking, the higher the talent, the more powerful the skills. However, these skills have nothing to do with combat. They are mainly used to give players a buff status, so that players can farm more efficiently and use other life skills.
Pets can eat crops grown by players, or they can eat pet food sold in the game store.
For ordinary small animals captured to become players' pets, it requires the right time, right place and right people. Only when the conditions are ripe will a dialog box pop up to ask the player whether to keep it as his or her pet. This condition can only be understood but not explained.
In short, if you want to get a pet that suits your taste, both luck and strength are essential.
Bai Li did not make this restriction too difficult. As long as the player is determined and works towards his goal for two or three days, he can get a pet that suits his taste.
For Bai Li, having a pet in the game is an optional thing. Anyway, he already has the Supreme, so he doesn't have to worry about not having small animals to pet.
As for Wen Xingyao, he is mostly curious about this new gameplay. Whether he can own a pet depends on fate.
Even though he was thinking about it, he still felt a little sorry that there were no ready-made pets for sale in the game store. If there were, he would definitely buy a ready-made one.
Bai Li had no idea what was in his mind.
After talking about pets, the effect of the strawberry jam still had ten minutes to wear off, so the two continued fishing. But because the previous chat had made people's minds wander, Wen Xingyao's mind was empty, and he couldn't help but think of Bai Li's other identity, his temporary breeder during his childhood, and he became a little restless again.
After thinking it over, he asked softly, "Li Bai, you said before that you have a cat at home, how is he now?"
Bai Li had no idea how complicated the other party's psychological process was to ask such a question. He just thought that the other party was just looking for a topic because fishing was too boring and quiet, so he answered without any burden: "You mean the Supreme? He's fine, he can eat and sleep well, and he has gained a lot of weight recently!"
Wen Xingyao: “…” He regretted asking this question!
As an adult, and an adult with great military achievements and a high status in the empire, Wen Xingyao felt that every word and every phrase in this answer was completely inconsistent with his image.
What do you mean by being able to eat and sleep? What do you mean by being a lot fatter? That’s the name. Yes, Supreme. It sounds like that!
These are ruthless words. They are absolutely ruthless words!
He felt wronged in his heart, but he didn't dare show it on his face, for fear that his facial expression would reveal something and Bai Li would notice something.
Choking on a mouthful of blood, he could only compliment against his will: "Being fatter is good, being fatter is healthy. Is his name 'Supreme'? It's a nice name."
"Haha, right? I had high hopes for him when I named him this!" Bai Li was very happy that someone praised his naming ability.
Although he had a bad feeling in his heart, Wen Xingyao still asked without hesitation: "What big expectations?"
This is really not easy to explain. Bai Li paused and replied: "I hope that when he grows up he can help me farm and become the best kitten at farming?" The Supreme among Cats, yes, that's what I mean.
Wen Xingyao: “…” I’ve been speechless more times than usual today.
I really didn't expect that his childhood was not as he imagined, where he could just stay by Bai Li's side and enjoy himself. He actually had to rely on his "fragile" body to help Bai Li with work. He was really a poor cat...
No, he really was led astray by Bai Li. His original identity was clearly a silver-flame golden-winged lion, so how did he turn into a soft and powerless little cat?
But it was useless to think so much now, he didn't even know when he would be able to recover. Thinking of this, Wen Xingyao felt depressed for a moment, and sent a message to his adjutant Tang Ying, asking him to come to his house in half an hour.
Wen Xingyao really didn't know how to respond to Bai Li's words. It happened that the bonus of strawberry jam ended at this time, so the two naturally ended their conversation and stopped fishing.
After an hour of fishing, Wen Xingyao caught a total of 7 koi. Bai Li used a combination of ordinary fishing rods and high-level baits, but only caught 4 koi, and the rest were ordinary fish. The two went to the village chief to hand in the task, received a contribution point, and then went back to their homes to busy themselves with things in the yard.
Tang Ying received the message from Wen Xingyao and rushed over quickly. As soon as he entered Wen Xingyao's yard, he was dragged into the house. As soon as he saw this posture, Tang Ying knew that the other party might have something important to discuss with him.
"Admiral, do you have anything to tell you?" Ever since Wen Xingyao disappeared and reappeared, Tang Ying could be said to have been relaxed for quite a while. Today, seeing Wen Xingyao calling him over so formally, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Wen Xingyao was silent for a few seconds, then he got straight to the point: "I am in my infancy now."
After hearing what Wen Xingyao said, Tang Ying didn't react at first, and said in a very relaxed tone: "Well, it's just childhood, it's not a big... big... thing..."
After he said the last word "thing", his eyes were already wide open, with a look of disbelief on his face, and he stammered: "Childhood, childhood? How could it become like this? How could it become so serious? Admiral, where are you now? I must rush to your side as soon as possible!"
Seeing his subordinate anxious like an ant on a hot pot, Wen Xingyao sighed softly. He knew this would be his reaction, so he quickly asked him to stop: "Don't worry, I'm fine now. Calm down, I have something to ask you."
"Calm down? How can I calm down? You've regressed to infancy!" Tang Ying looked like she was about to cry. "Now in the entire empire, everyone knows what it means for a normal orc to regress to infancy. It's the late stage of genetic collapse disorder! There's no hope! The only place to go is 'Star Hope', but once you go there, you'll just be waiting to die. How can I explain to General Wen and the others about you becoming like this... And the netizens on Starnet who have been waiting for you to show up, if they knew about this, I'm afraid the whole empire would be shocked..."
The Wen family and the Tang family can be regarded as old friends. Tang Ying is one year older than Wen Xingyao, and the two can be said to have grown up together. A few years ago, Tang Ying became Wen Xingyao's adjutant, and the relationship between the two became closer. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are real family. If the news that Wen Xingyao regressed to childhood was known by his family, how would they react? Tang Ying dared not even think about it.
"Then let me ask you, what are the symptoms of regressing to childhood?" Wen Xingyao said.
Tang Ying could recite this kind of knowledge with his eyes closed, and he answered immediately: "First, the infancy will lose all attack power, just like a real cub. Secondly, after returning to the infancy, the human consciousness will gradually fall asleep, the intelligence will regress, and it will no longer have human thoughts. Finally, once the orcs regress to the infancy, there will be no possibility of recovery..."
He talked a lot, but he didn't get to the most important point. Wen Xingyao pinched his aching solar plexus and asked, "Since the consciousness of young humans will fall asleep, they can't just run to the Star Network to play games. I'm standing in front of you now, and you tell me that I'm hopeless?"
Tang Ying: "..."
Tang Ying: "!!!"
The desperate eyes suddenly lit up and were reborn.
