Chapter 10 Companion Egg
Tian Xiangdong was practicing boxing on the playground, but his eyes kept glancing at Zhou Wen who was sitting under the shade of a tree next to the playground. He had been practicing there for almost an hour, but Zhou Wen had been sitting under the tree playing with his phone for an hour.
"Comparing yourself to others is really frustrating. We are training hard, but that guy is just leisurely playing games." Tian Xiangdong became more and more depressed as he watched.
After training together for a few days, Tian Xiangdong understood one thing: the reason why Zhou Wen was the number one genius in Guide High School was not just because he had a good talent for cultivation.
Tian Xiangdong originally thought that the saying "cultivation is like rowing against the current" applies to all human beings. After all, humans are not machines, and it is easy to regress if they do not train every day.
Especially when it is used in actual combat, there will be certain deviations in the grasp of timing and sense of distance, etc.
But Zhou Wen was different. As long as he learned something, no matter if he practiced it regularly or not, he seemed to be able to use it skillfully and naturally.
In the past few days, when the four of them practiced together, Zhou Wen would cooperate, but when it was time for them to practice alone, Zhou Wen would run aside to play games.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Wen performed impeccably when the four of them cooperated, and could even be said to be the most outstanding one among the four, Tian Xiangdong could not help but take on the teacher's responsibilities and give him a good lecture, letting him know the importance of studying hard and improving every day.
But now Tian Xiangdong could only secretly watch Zhou Wen playing games, while he could only practice hard here.
"What are you looking at? You're not concentrating on practicing, and your movements are all deformed." Li Zhi walked over and said.
Tian Xiangdong glanced at Zhou Wen, who was just playing games, and said enviously, "How great would it be if I had Zhou Wen's talent? Cultivation is so painful, who wouldn't want to play games every day?"
Li Zhi laughed and said, "Do you really think Zhou Wen just plays games every day?"
"Isn't it? We can all see how much fun he has every day." Tian Xiangdong said.
Li Zhi shook his head and said, "We can only see him when he is in school, but we can't see what he does after school."
"You mean, he practices hard at home after school?" Tian Xiangdong understood what Li Zhi meant.
"There is no such thing as something you can get for nothing in this world. Zhou Wen looks harmless and doesn't seem to care about anything, but he is actually very proud in his heart. He was defeated so badly by An Jing last time, although it was not his fault, but with his personality, I'm afraid he can't let it go. He must be working hard to practice. This can be seen from his actual combat proficiency. He is definitely not as decadent and playful as he appears." Li Zhi said seriously.
"Then why does he act so depressed in school? There is no need for that. Wouldn't it be better to use the time he would have spent playing games to practice?" Tian Xiangdong was skeptical.
Li Zhi glanced at Zhou Wen and said, "I think that when he was defeated by An Jing just now, he might have had some psychological shock, which made people mistakenly think that he had given up on himself."
"That doesn't make sense why he would go to school to play games?" Tian Xiangdong still couldn't understand.
"Think about it, if everyone thinks you are a scumbag and trash, but you make a splash in the college entrance exam and get first place in the city, and then look at other people's faces, do you think that would feel good?" Li Zhi said.
"Damn, Zhou Wen is such a dark guy, that scumbag and black-hearted man..." Tian Xiangdong suddenly understood and almost screamed out loud, but fortunately Li Zhi covered his mouth.
Of course, Zhou Wen was not like what Tian Xiangdong thought. He could also improve his strength by playing games, and the game character was equivalent to his avatar. When the game character fought, he would definitely gain combat experience and skill proficiency, so he didn't need to practice anymore.
"Mutated powerful ant!" Zhou Wen was happily killing monsters when he suddenly saw a powerful ant with a blood-red body appear.
In the past few days, he killed at least a dozen mutant powerful ants, but the results were not satisfactory.
Except for the first mutated powerful ant that exploded two dimensional crystals, the probability of the subsequent powerful ants exploding dimensional crystals became lower and lower, and the quality was also much worse.
Not to mention the vitality crystals, even the ninth-level dimensional crystals are rarely seen. There were even about ten mutant powerful ants, but nothing dropped.
Seeing the mutant powerful ant again at this time, Zhou Wen was no longer as excited as before. He calmly controlled the bloody man, rushed forward with two powerful punches, and directly killed the mutant powerful ant.
"bite!"
A familiar sound rang in my ears, and this time something actually exploded.
Zhou Wen was not very excited. Even if a dimensional crystal exploded, if it was only the kind with seven or eight points, unless it was a speed crystal, it would not be of much use to him. It would only replenish his energy consumption.
But when Zhou Wen saw clearly what had exploded, he was slightly stunned, because the word "crystal" was not included in the name of the thing that had exploded.
"Killed the mutant powerful ant and found the companion egg."
A game prompt popped up in the lower left corner of the screen, which surprised and delighted Zhou Wen when he saw it clearly.
The discovery of a companion egg means there is a chance to have a companion pet, but as far as Zhou Wen knows, companion pets rarely appear at the mortal level. Basically, you can only have a companion pet after reaching the legendary level.
It can be said that a companion pet itself is a manifestation of strength and status. Humans who can walk on the street with a companion pet are basically legendary or stronger, and are respected and envied.
The reason why there are almost no companion pets at the mortal level is that mortal-level dimensional creatures almost never drop companion pets. Legendary-level dimensional creatures have a relatively low probability of dropping companion pets, and legendary-level companion eggs themselves require legendary-level vitality to hatch. Therefore, even if mortal-level humans get companion eggs, they have no way to hatch them.
After hatching, a companion pet can be said to share life and death with its owner, and it is difficult to transfer it to someone else. If it is forcibly transferred, it will cost a huge price, and most people will not do that.
In this small place called Guide Prefecture, Zhou Wen had never seen any mortal human with a companion pet.
The companion egg was as big as the bloody man's fist. It was milky white and translucent, oval in shape, with a few faint red spots flashing inside. It looked mysterious and beautiful.
Zhou Wen couldn't wait to control the blood-colored man to pick up the companion egg. The moment the blood-colored man's fingers touched the companion egg, Zhou Wen suddenly felt his body tremble, and the vitality in his body was like being sucked away by a syringe and quickly flowed into the mobile phone.
In the game, the bloody man's vitality value dropped from 9 points to zero in a very short time.
