Chapter 33 [Underground City Seventh Floor Function Opened: Spiritual...
Zhu Yu looked at the task panel, then looked at the time.
There were only a few hours left until her appointment with Bai Yin.
The first two tasks were highly operational and not difficult to complete, so she was not too worried.
But the last task needed to be arranged personally, so she decided to complete the task first before leaving, so as to avoid encountering any accidents along the way and delaying the progress of the task.
After confirming the plan, Zhu Yu spent time strolling in the orchard while browsing the various suggestions from the Residents' Advice Center, looking for inspiration.
Soon, a suggestion caught her attention:
"Lord City Lord, the garden is so beautiful, but can you add some exercise equipment? For example, horizontal bars, parallel bars, etc., so that we can stop and exercise while walking in the garden!"
When Zhu Yu saw this suggestion, his eyes lit up.
She quickly figured out that this arrangement was simple and practical and should meet the requirements for a B-grade garden rating.
After the special effects of the bayberry and lychee drink completely disappeared, Zhu Yu immediately left the orchard and went straight to the first floor garden.
She raised her hand to open the bracelet and skillfully switched to editing mode.
Zhu Yu clicked on the shopping mall's inventory, scrolled through the pages, and began to choose suitable exercise equipment.
"Double-person floor walker, upper limb traction device, fitness bike, single and double bars..."
She quickly bought these common fitness equipment and placed them in the same area of the garden one by one.
After the arrangement was completed, her eyes fell on the double floor walker and a smile appeared on her face.
Zhu Yu walked to a two-person treadmill, stood firmly, and stepped lightly on it.
The machine moved smoothly, moving her legs back and forth in an even, fluid pace.
“This is indeed the most interesting!”
Zhu Yu smiled, and memories of playing with fitness equipment in the park when he was a child emerged in his mind.
While she was walking on the treadmill, she talked to System 996:
"Every time I go to the park, this is my favorite. I step on it and feel relaxed."
"It's easy, but..." The light ball of System 996 rested on Zhu Yu's shoulder, bouncing up and down as she swung up and down. "Host, don't you think the range of motion is a bit small? It doesn't seem to have any effect on improving physical fitness, right?"
Zhu Yu rolled his eyes immediately: "Not everyone comes to the park for physical exercise, they just want to relax. Besides, you don't need to exercise, so stop expressing your opinions."
System 996 was silent for a second, and the ball of light shrank slightly:
"Okay, then, host, take it easy. I'm almost dizzy from you."
Hearing this, Zhu Yu slowly stopped.
She walked to the parallel bars and tried to hang on
“This one is pretty good too.”
After holding on the parallel bars for a few minutes, Zhu Yu nodded with satisfaction, jumped off the bars, and subconsciously patted the non-existent dust on his hands.
Just as she finished her final check, the system prompt sounded:
[Current garden rating: B, "Afternoon visitor mode" has been unlocked. ]
[Tip: After the afternoon visitor mode is turned on, players can randomly trigger hidden buff effects by stopping in the garden. ]
Zhu Yu looked at the prompt while opening the bracelet to check the progress of the task. Sure enough, he saw that the side quest was completed:
[Go to the garden to decorate and upgrade to level B. (Progress: 1/1) (Completed)]
"Done."
After confirming again and again that there were no omissions, Zhu Yu walked towards the elevator happily, preparing to go to the fourth-floor train station and go to the Beast Guild as agreed.
*
Zhu Yu came to the bustling train station.
Today, the train carriages have been unlocked to six and the covered stations have been expanded to five.
The newly unlocked site happens to be near the Beast Guild.
As the city lord, Zhu Yu naturally enjoyed privileges and did not need to queue up to buy train tickets.
She reserved the seat yesterday.
So she walked straight through the automatic ticket gate at the entrance, entered the waiting area, and waited patiently for the train to arrive.
After a while, a low whistle sounded, and a black train slowly came from the distance and finally stopped steadily at the platform.
"Passengers please board the bus in an orderly manner according to the instructions."
Along with the sound of the broadcast, the doors opened one by one, and the players waiting on the platform began to line up to board the train.
Zhu Yu walked past the crowd and headed towards her private room in the first-class carriage.
The entrance to the exclusive channel automatically scanned her bracelet permissions, and then issued a "beep" prompt sound, allowing her to enter.
The private room is not large, but its design is very exquisite.
The walls are covered with light gold wallpaper with delicate dark patterns, and a simple and elegant coat rack is placed at the door.
The seats in the private room are made of dark brown leather and are equipped with adjustable backrests and soft footrests.
There is even a small vase of decorative white roses on the table, and there is a small built-in refrigerator next to it.
After Zhu Yu sat down, he casually opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of mineral water.
She unscrewed the bottle cap, took a few sips of the cool water, and looked out the window.
The train started slowly as the carriage shook slightly, and the scenery outside the window gradually changed from a bustling station to an endless desert.
*
Zhu Yu leaned back on the seat in the box and took a short nap with his eyes closed.
The train moved forward steadily. The slight shaking and the flowing scenery outside the window made her gradually relax and she almost fell into a light sleep.
Until System 996 reminded:
"Zhu Yu, we're almost at the station."
She then opened her eyes, stretched, looked out the window, and found that the outline of the platform was gradually becoming clear.
The train stopped steadily, and Zhu Yu followed the crowd out of the carriage.
As soon as I stepped out of the platform, a gust of scorching air hit me in the face, as if the whole body was enveloped in a heat wave.
The sun was high in the sky, shining brightly on the earth, and the surrounding ground seemed to be slightly hot.
Zhu Yu couldn't help but raise her hand to block the sunlight, and then she saw Bai Yin standing not far away with a few subordinates to greet her.
Baiyin was wearing a refreshing light-colored suit, with a capable temperament and a bright smile, appearing very enthusiastic.
"City Lord Zhu, welcome to the Beast Guild."
After seeing Zhu Yu, Baiyin took the lead to step forward and extended his hand.
"President Bai, I'm so sorry that you came to pick me up in person on such a hot day."
Zhu Yu held her hand and spoke.
After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Zhu Yu looked at the vast desert environment around him and asked:
"Are we going to walk there next?"
Bai Yin laughed loudly when he heard this: "That's not necessary!"
She whistled, and the next second, a majestic griffin descended from the sky.
This griffin is huge, with golden-brown feathers that glow metallically in the sun, and a ball-like decoration at the end of its tail.
The feathers on its outstretched wings were layered together, and when it landed, it created a slight air flow.
Baiyin: "City Lord Zhu, if you don't mind and are not afraid of heights, we can just ride my griffin over there, which can save a lot of time."
Zhu Yu's eyes fell on the griffin, a hint of curiosity and excitement flashed in his eyes, and he nodded and agreed: "Of course I don't mind. It would be great if we can return to the city as soon as possible in such hot weather."
However, before boarding the griffin, she thought about it for a moment and did not put System 996 back into the space, but left it outside just in case.
With Baiyin's help, Zhu Yu climbed onto the griffin's back, gathered the light ball of System 996 in his arms, and held the special reins tightly with both hands.
With a strong sense of weightlessness brought about by a strong lift, the griffin flapped its wings and flew high into the sky against the hot wind.
Zhu Yu tried hard to keep his body steady on the griffin's back. The wind blowing in his face was mixed with sand and dust, but it unexpectedly brought some coolness.
Her vision gradually broadened as she climbed higher. The scenery on the ground turned into a miniature desert painting, with the Beast City faintly visible not far away.
Zhu Yu looked down at the vast desert below. Although the whistling wind in her ears was a bit harsh, the novelty brought by flying at high altitude made her very excited.
She looked down at the griffin's huge outstretched wings and couldn't help but feel envious.
Her summoned beast can also fly, but I don’t know when Charmander will grow big enough to carry her. It will definitely be more interesting then!
The griffin's flight gradually slowed down, and Zhu Yu finally saw the full picture of the Beast City - this was a castle-like building complex decorated with animal carvings. However, before she could see more clearly, the griffin had already landed steadily in front of the city gate.
Zhu Yu jumped down, tidied his messy hair, and followed Baiyin and others into the gate of the Beast City.
*
Baiyin: "City Lord Zhu, do you want to visit our Beast City first, or go directly to give your summoned beast a comprehensive checkup?"
Zhu Yu looked around. Although this was her first time to come to a guild city outside of the dungeon, she suppressed her urge to move and said with a smile:
"Let's go get checked first. Business is more important."
Baiyin: "Okay, this way please."
The two walked on the streets of the Beast City. Zhu Yu discovered that summoned beasts could be seen everywhere in the city. Some were squatting beside their owners, some were lazily lying on the street basking in the sun, and some were trotting on the road and playing with other summoned beasts. The whole city was full of vitality.
Baiyin led the way while saying, "Our Hundred Beasts Guild has the best veterinary team in the entire dungeon, specializing in providing one-stop services from medical treatment to daily care for summoned beasts. Your summoned beasts are absolutely safe here, no need to worry."
Zhu Yu smiled and said casually, "I've heard Bai Ning mention this a long time ago. She was full of praise for these. Oh, by the way, does your guild have a training ground for summoned beasts? For example, a place that specifically helps summoned beasts hone their skills?"
Bai Yin sighed, with a hint of regret in his tone: "When we established the Summoning Beast Diagnosis and Care Center, we did consider building a training ground, but since each summoned beast has different attributes and skills, it is too difficult to design a fully compatible training ground."
"So the best way to train now is to take your summoned beasts out to fight monsters. This method can lay a solid foundation and is more effective, but the risks also increase. Especially for summoners who can only contract one summoned beast, they dare not take risks easily, because the summoned beast is too precious to them."
Zhu Yu nodded, recalling the reason why the nightmare beast appeared in the first copy, and responded thoughtfully:
"That's true. After all, the summoned beast is not only a battle partner to the summoner, but also an important emotional support. If anything goes wrong with the summoned beast, it will be a huge blow to the summoner."
The two chatted as they walked, and soon arrived at their destination.
The diagnosis and care center is a modern building with a green area enclosed by transparent glass at the entrance, which is decorated very comfortably.
As soon as he entered the door, the familiar layout in front of him made Zhu Yu instantly feel like he was back in the underground city medical center.
The various areas of the diagnosis and care center are clearly distributed, including a waiting hall, initial examination area, medical room, nursing room, and a rest area specially prepared for summoned beasts, which is covered with soft cushions.
Baiyin took Zhu Yu to the front desk, where a uniformed staff member politely came over and arranged for her summoned beast to undergo a comprehensive examination.
Zhu Yu released the little fire dragon from the summoning space. As soon as the little guy came out, he gently flapped his wings a few times and looked very energetic.
The veterinarian carefully examined Yiyi's scales, teeth, claws, and the flexibility of its wings, and also measured its body size and energy fluctuations.
At the end of the inspection, another veterinarian showed up.
She held a portable scanner in her hand and scanned Yi Yi carefully from beginning to end, while explaining to Zhu Yu:
"This device can quickly detect the health status of the summoned beast, including whether there are any hidden injuries or diseases."
After a few minutes, the veterinarian put down his instruments:
"Your summoned beast is very healthy and in excellent growth condition. However, we will combine the inspection data to provide a series of training suggestions for it. It will take time to organize and analyze, and it may take a whole night to complete."
"It's okay, thank you, sorry for the trouble."
After hearing this, Zhu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with satisfaction.
She reached out and touched Yi Yi's head. The little guy squinted his eyes comfortably and rubbed her hand gently.
At this moment, Zhu Yu was secretly glad that he had completed the third task before coming out, otherwise he would have been overwhelmed by time.
Bai Yin: "Since we still need to wait for the report, I will arrange a suitable place for you to stay. Our Beast Guild will also have a small party tonight, and Bai Ning has been talking about wanting to see you."
Zhu Yu paused slightly. Bai Yin was so enthusiastic that she naturally understood his intention - tonight's party would most likely involve discussing cooperation.
Unfortunately, the most she could offer was cooperative treatment like that given to the Oasis Union, and she couldn't really help in any other way.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yu couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.
At this moment, she suddenly heard a system prompt:
[System prompt: The new area has been unlocked]
[Dungeon Level 7 Function Opened: Pet Paradise]
[Conditions for opening the park: Please invite a summoner of grade A or above as soon as possible to serve as the director of the park to unlock the attribute enhancement area, skill training field and exclusive equipment for summoned beasts.]
Zhu Yu: ...
No way? Does this make sense? Is this a coincidence?
