Chapter 112
Generally speaking, the Winged People have some similarities with the human hunters and assassins. For example, they all have the characteristics of high agility and high attack speed. Some of them also have the same [Stealth] skills as assassins and night warlocks. The more powerful ones also have other talents and skills.
Xia Mo didn't expect what he collected to be so awesome, but at least the average line should be reached, right?
However, on the panel, the attributes of this semi-adult winged man are extremely mediocre in every aspect.
Race: Winged People
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Expected lifespan: 80 years
Form: Semi-adult
Level: 26
…
Growth coefficient: 1.88
Loyalty: 80/100
Talent: None
Skill: Infinite Divine Wind
It's no wonder it was abandoned by the tribe. It has no [Talent], only one skill, and a mediocre growth coefficient. The only thing worth noting is that it has a loyalty of 80 points right after being recruited.
Seeing this, Xia Mo curled his lips. This guy who is not good in every aspect, if he is not loyal to his master, he is not even qualified to be a battle pet.
There are a total of 3 battle pet slots for players, and including the mythical beast Jingjing, two of them are now occupied.
There is one seat left, and Xia Mo plans to give it to the old friend who accompanied her through the ups and downs of level 60 in her previous life.
There was a new winged man in the battle pet's home. Jingjing, who was taking a nap, suddenly opened his eyes and stepped back, baring his teeth at the new winged man.
Xia Mo extended his fingers and stroked Jingjing's bristling hair: "Be good, Jingjing, this is your new friend, Xiaoyi."
I casually gave the winged man a name. When Xiaoyi heard it, he flapped his wings with joy.
However, the Jingjing on the opposite side did not give it a good look at all, still with a grimace on its face, very resistant to it.
Seeing Jingjing's tense look, Xia Mo was worried that it would attack Xiaoyi. After thinking about it, he hurried back to the royal city and went to the battle pet store to buy a special isolation fence.
Place the fence between the cat and the bird, and the combat pet's home will be divided into two parts, serving as a barrier.
This is the inconvenience of raising a divine beast. They have bad tempers and many ideas, and you can easily make them angry if you are not careful. The key is that as the owner, she cannot say anything, because so far, Jingjing's loyalty to her is just 50.
If your level is neither high nor low and it makes it unhappy, its loyalty will drop in minutes.
If it drops below 10 points, the battle pet will automatically terminate the contract with its owner.
In her previous life, the adult divine beast she picked up in the wild when she was over level 40 had become ownerless because of its disappointment with its first owner, and its loyalty continued to decline. In the end, it was unilaterally released and became a war pet without an owner.
Xia Mo didn't want her relationship with Jingjing to deteriorate, so she took out the high-quality rations specially made by Yun Yao, filled a bowl with it, and pushed it to it.
Jingjing's anger finally subsided a little, and he began to eat voraciously.
I always feel that Jingjing's temper has become much worse recently. Recalling that it suddenly went berserk in front of the prison building, Xia Mo thought about it and decided to consult a professional combat pet breeder.
On the other side of the fence, Xiaoyi smacked his lips and stared at Jingjing's bowl opposite him with greedy eyes.
Since I had accepted it, I had to treat it equally, so I poured a bowl of water for it as well.
However, just as he was about to put it down, Jingjing, who was eating happily next to him, suddenly raised his head and stared at Xiaoyi with a pair of sharp eyes, as if warning him that if he dared to take a bite of his food, he would tear it to pieces on the spot!
Discovering that Jingjing was completely unable to coexist peacefully with Xiaoyi, Xia Mo had no choice but to go to the [Battle Pet Base] which had recently opened in the royal city.
Nowadays, almost every player has a battle pet, but not everyone can become a qualified battle pet owner.
Due to improper feeding methods, unreasonable food combinations, lack of regular interactions... and various other reasons, players keep stumbling on the road to training combat pets.
Therefore, the [Battle Pet Base] came into being, specifically to provide players with breeding guidance and professional training.
Speaking of the base, Xia Mo has never been there before, because the two combat pets she raised back then had good personalities and tempers, and were not picky about food, which made her, as their owner, quite worry-free, and there was no need for her to go to the base at all.
This is the first time for a grown-up girl to get into a sedan chair.
As you enter the base, the refreshing and clean island-style lobby comes into view. Opposite the lobby is a whole glass wall, through which you can see the tropical rainforest-like scenery on the other side.
"Hello, ma'am, how can I help you?" An NPC wearing a baseball cap and overalls walked forward politely.
[1. Take a look] [2. Consult about pet breeding]
Two options popped up automatically, and Xia Mo chose 2.
"Okay, ma'am. If you have any questions, please fill out the form here first. A consultant will be arranged to connect with you later."
The NPC took her to the semi-open reception room next door, which was full of players filling out forms.
At a glance, Xia Mo unexpectedly saw a familiar face.
Noticing her gaze, the other person raised his head and noticed her.
"It's you, Xia Mo. Long time no see."
Xia Mo ignored him, found an empty seat and sat down, opened the spreadsheet and started filling in the information.
After a while, the person sitting next to her was sent away and the familiar face approached.
"Xu Xiaobei's account has been cancelled. Did you know about this?"
Xia Mo: "I didn't know, but now I know."
Seeing that she didn't show any particularly surprised reaction, Xiaoyu shifted her upper body unnaturally. "Actually, it's a good thing that Xu Xiaobei's account was cancelled. She's such a jerk at gaming. Every time something goes wrong, Yao He and I have to clean up after her. It's pretty tiring for Yao He and me."
Xia Mo was still filling out the form in his hand, his expression extremely calm.
It was impossible to tell what she was thinking right now. Xiaoyu licked her lips and suddenly took a step closer to her: "Xia Mo, Yao He and I both know that Xiaobei made you angry before because of her ignorance. But you also know Xu Xiaobei's personality. If we don't follow her will, she will definitely make us both restless, so..."
"So you two chose to keep your distance from me in order to appease Xu Xiaobei."
Xia Mo filled out the form and clicked submit, then turned his head and looked at Xiaoyu with a faint smile.
He was obviously smiling, but in Xiaoyu's eyes, she only felt a chill on her spine. Thinking that what the other person said was exactly what she wanted to say, she nodded: "Yes, yes, that's what I mean."
"Then wait until Xu Xiaobei destroys himself and no longer poses a threat to you two, and then come back to me, your old friend, for help?"
Xia Mo narrowed his eyes, there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, only blatant ridicule towards the person in front of him.
Xiaoyu finally understood the hidden meaning in her words and shook her head: "That's not the case, Xia Mo, you misunderstood us!"
"Yao He and I were forced to stop contacting you. We've wanted to apologize to you many times, but we never found the right opportunity..."
As he spoke, he held her hand, his eyes filled with tears.
"Xia Mo, I know we didn't do the right thing, and we made you endure a lot of grievances. Yao He and I know we were wrong. Xia Mo, I'm sorry. Please forgive us. Considering the years we've known each other, considering the time we studied together, ate together, and took exams together, can you please let us go back to the way we were in the past?"
"not good."
Xia Mo calmly pulled his hand away and looked at her calmly, as if every word Xiaoyu said had nothing to do with her.
Xiaoyu was suddenly stunned, and stammered in disbelief: "Xia Mo..."
She frowned slightly, her face flushed, tears rolled in her eyes, and anyone who saw her would feel that she looked pitiful.
It was this harmless face that made Xia Mo choose to forgive again and again how many times in his previous life?
I don’t know, she has lost count a long time ago.
During the great war between the gods, she managed to turn the tide and win a game for the human race. However, not long after, Xu Xiaobei told her that the other side's defense line had been breached and she was urgently needed to provide support.
She immediately went to the coordinates given by Xu Xiaobei. However, on the way there, she suddenly realized that something was wrong and decided to go back. But the moment she turned around, she was stabbed through the heart by the knife in Xu Xiaobei's hand.
At that time, she was level 100 and Xu Xiaobei was level 89. She had top-level equipment, but Xu Xiaobei did not. It can be said that no matter in terms of level or equipment, Xu Xiaobei was not her opponent.
But Xu Xiaobei easily broke her defense and emptied her health bar in an instant.
With Xu Xiaobei's brain, he would never be able to get such a weapon, and he would never dare to attack her from behind. There must be someone behind her, giving her advice and providing her with weapons. Even the opportunity to attack her might be chosen by Xu Xiaobei. In the end, Xu Xiaobei only needs to make a sneak attack to make her die on the battlefield.
Xia Mo didn't dare to conclude who was behind this.
But she didn't believe that Xiaoyu and Yao He, who had always been close to Xu Xiaobei, were completely unaware of the situation.
It was even possible that the two men were part of the plan to assassinate her, but they were hiding deep enough and were insidious enough.
When Xia Mo thought about the seemingly docile girl in front of him, who had tried so hard to kill her, he felt only irony.
When did this friendship start to sour?
Was it when they discovered that she could block arrows for them anytime and anywhere, a very useful shield, or when they discovered that she possessed far more resources in the game than the three of them, and that these resources no longer benefited them? Or was it something else?
Xia Mo didn't know.
"Get out of the way."
The calmness in his eyes turned into a coldness. Xia Mo's voice was not loud, but it was like an ice pick piercing Xiaoyu's heart.
Xiaoyu looked at her and felt cold all over.
If the laughter a few minutes ago only made her feel a chill down her spine, then at this moment, she felt as if she was immersed in an icy lake from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, her blood solidified and the cold biting her bones.
The waiting room was not big and there was only one way out. Seeing the person in front of him still standing in his way, Xia Mo frowned impatiently, pushed her away and walked straight out.
"I've already apologized to you, what else do you want?"
A loud shout attracted the entire waiting room and even all the players coming in and out outside.
It is human nature to watch the fun, especially when the central figure in the fun is a top figure on the list. Everyone widens their eyes with curiosity and stretches their necks to find out what is going on.
Xiaoyu clenched her fists, holding back tears, and took a deep breath: "Xia Mo, tell me, what do you want us to do in order for you to forgive us?"
"How?" Xia Mo turned around and looked at her with a sneer, "Let me send you two to see God with my own hands, I think I will consider whether to forgive you."
"Xia Mo you...!"
Xiaoyu, who wanted to make peace but failed and was severely humiliated, was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She wanted to say something else, but when she met Xia Mo's eyes that seemed to be filled with poison, she was shocked and couldn't utter a word.
Time passed quickly, but at this moment it passed very slowly, so slowly that Xiaoyu thought she had been tortured by Xia Mo's gaze a thousand times. When she looked up, she found that only a few seconds had passed.
She wanted to move, wanted to escape from the scene, but when she tried to lift her legs, she found that her legs were as if filled with lead and could not move at all.
"Xiaoyu! Xia Mo?"
When he was suffering, Yao He suddenly appeared in the waiting room.
He first looked at Xiaoyu in surprise, whose face was covered with tears. Then he glanced and saw Xia Mo with a cold face. Suddenly, he realized something, strode forward and protected Xiaoyu behind him.
"Xia Mo, are you crazy?! Xu Xiaobei was wrong, but didn't she already delete her account and stop playing? And Xiaoyu has been privately nagging me, saying that when it's convenient, she'll treat you to dinner, but what about you? You blocked us in the game, and you didn't answer the phone in real life. We went to the rental building to look for you, but we heard that you moved out a long time ago. How can we contact you?"
"Yes, I admit that at first, Xu Xiaobei, Xiaoyu and I had the best relationship. But you've also seen that ever since Xiaobei introduced you to us, we've treated you as a good friend from the bottom of our hearts. Such a friendship is so precious!"
"Xiaoyu and I have already lost Xu Xiaobei. We really don't want to lose you as a friend."
What he said was so sweet and sincere. Xia Mo never expected that in order to win back her so-called friend, Yao He, who had never liked to talk much, would actually reveal his true feelings one day.
Haha, even more ironic.
Is it that you don't want to lose her as a friend, or do you not want to lose her as a supporter?
