Chapter 14: 100-Pet Battle Royale
[Main Battle Pet: Mid-Tier — Biological Species — Giant Moonlight Rabbit]
[Talent: Flexibility Enhancement]
[Combat Skill: Sand Toss (Blue) — Based on the pet beast’s Agility and Strength attributes, moderately increases the power of thrown Weapon Species; doubles the bonus when throwing items or other objects]
[Training Points: 12]
[Other Pet Beast: Mid-Tier — Weapon Species — Golden Wheel]
[Talent: Heavy Metal]
[Combat Skill: None]
[Training Points: 5]
The first thing Lian Xing did after returning home was equip the Giant Moonlight Rabbit with the Sand Toss combat skill card. For this Sand Toss, she had gone all out, practically running back half-naked after taking off one of her stockings, attracting countless unwanted gazes along the way.
Next was allocating training points.
Pet beasts initially had seven training directions: Strength, Defense, Speed, Agility, Spirit, Reduced Stamina Consumption when using Combat Skills, and Slightly Increased Combat Skill Power.
Every time an attribute reached 10 points, a specialized Arcane Art would be unlocked, randomly selected from a vast pool of options, with a choice of one out of three.
Finally, when a pet beast’s total training points reached 30, the High-Tier evolution path would unlock.
High-Tier evolution wasn’t as simple as Mid-Tier evolution. It required fulfilling some complex and specific requirements.
For example, winning 10 battles against higher-level opponents, defeating any High-Tier Elemental Species once, achieving a 20-win streak in 1v1 battles, or having a Strength and Defense attribute difference of no more than 5 points.
Although these requirements were challenging, they weren’t impossible to meet.
However, in the early stages of Pet Beast Evolution Battle, many Beast Tamers would focus on enhancing only one attribute. For instance, some would pour all their points into Speed, boasting about how speed was the ultimate weapon. Others, completely ignoring advice, would focus solely on Strength, firmly believing that if they couldn’t defeat someone, it meant they weren’t strong enough… And then there were those who built an impenetrable defense like a turtle shell. There were countless similar bizarre cases.
Then, when their pet beasts reached level 30 and unlocked High-Tier evolution, they realized that due to the huge attribute disparity, most rare evolution paths were locked, leaving them with very few options.
Lian Xing believed that the Beast Tamers in this world would likely make the same mistakes, blindly focusing on one attribute, thinking it was the only way.
It wasn’t necessarily wrong, but…
Some rare evolution paths required balanced attributes!
Especially for the Ancient Species she evolved in her past life, it required precise attribute values down to the single digits…
“Giant Moonlight Rabbit, enhance Agility by 10 points, Strength by 2 points.”
As Lian Xing gave the command, a golden light flashed within her.
Soon, the Giant Moonlight Rabbit’s panel changed.
[Training: Strength enhanced by 2 points, no change]
[Training: Agility enhanced by 10 points, you can choose one Agility Arcane Art]
[Randomly generating Arcane Arts…]
[Flurry (Greatly increases ear agility, adds slight stickiness to fur, making it easier to use tools)]
[Reinforced (Greatly increases ear load-bearing capacity, reduces impact force)]
[Supersense (Slight chance to sense the trajectory of ranged attacks)]
[Please choose one of the three Arcane Arts above]
“Hmm, all three seem pretty good…” Even Lian Xing was slightly conflicted after seeing the randomly generated Arcane Arts.
Flurry and Reinforced were both very suitable for the Moonlight Rabbit and Golden Wheel combination, while Supersense could increase the Moonlight Rabbit’s survivability and dodging ability.
After a brief moment of thought, Lian Xing chose Flurry. Compared to Reinforced, which was tied to the Golden Wheels, and Supersense, which only sensed ranged attacks, Flurry, which immediately enhanced the power of Sand Toss and was more versatile, had a higher priority.
[Giant Moonlight Rabbit has awakened the Agility Arcane Art, Flurry]
Yesterday, the basic Giant Moonlight Rabbit and Golden Wheel had already crushed a level 20+ Translucent Phantom Dragon. Now equipped with Sand Toss and the Flurry Arcane Art, Lian Xing couldn’t imagine how strong the Giant Moonlight Rabbit had become.
In any case, she could only find out by testing it in a virtual battle…
[100-Pet Battle Royale, generating map]
[Large Map: Mountainous Terrain]
[Participants: 30]
100-Pet Battle Royale, one of the most popular modes in virtual battles.
A minimum of 30 players participated simultaneously, hunting each other. The higher the kill count and ranking, the greater the training value bonus for the pet beast.
There were also 50-player and 100-player versions with larger maps. Of course, each player could only deploy one pet beast.
And, as time passed, the map would shrink, preventing players from hiding until the end.
“Whoosh!!”
In a clearing within the central region of the map, a beautiful girl with orange princess-cut hair materialized with a flash of white light. She wore revealing fishnet stockings and a black miniskirt, giving off the impression of someone…experienced in certain activities.
Her ID was even more suggestive: [Nimble-Fingered Xiao Kui (Contact for Private Lessons)].
At this moment, thousands of lewd and obscene barrage comments floated before the orange-haired girl.
“Hey everyone, another day of happy farming. First match online, a 30-player warm-up~~~”
“No classes recently. The league is about to start, and the team has daily mandatory quotas~~~”
“Private lessons will have to wait until after the league~~~” Xiao Kui said with a saccharine smile, reading the barrage comments.
As a core member of White Maple Academy’s team, one of the Top Ten in the league, she had 180,000 followers, and her livestream currently had over 20,000 viewers.
“Boom!!!!”
Suddenly, a deafening thunderclap echoed, and purple lightning pierced the sky.
A few seconds later, a purple humanoid figure, crackling with electricity, materialized behind Xiao Kui. The purple figure was covered in lightning, its body entirely formed from chaotic electrical energy.
High-Tier — Elemental Species — Thundering Violet Lightning!!!
The radiating heat from its electrical energy instantly charred the surrounding rocks and trees. The terrifying aura of a High-Tier pet beast was on a completely different level from a Mid-Tier one. Even being near it was frightening.
“Alright, everyone, I’m going to start my warm-up…”
“My current record in 100-Pet Battle Royale is 106 matches, 61 first places, 42 top tens. I wonder if I can get another first place this time?”
Normal team core members wouldn’t bother farming weaker opponents in Battle Royale. Only Xiao Kui treated it as a habit and a source of pride, attracting a large number of loyal fans who enjoyed watching her dominate.
Xiao Kui boasted on her livestream while observing the surrounding mountainous terrain.
Soon, she spotted a small hill.
“Hmm, I’ll stay there. It looks like a very conspicuous spot, perfect for being surrounded~~~”
“You all like watching me in 1v5, 1v10 situations, right?”
“Heehee, I’m not talking about that kind of 1vX. Private lessons are limited to 1v3~~~”
“…”
“…”
However, as soon as Xiao Kui finished speaking, her expression suddenly changed. In her line of sight, a giant white figure slowly appeared on the very spot she had just chosen.
Judging by its silhouette, it seemed to be…a Giant Moonlight Rabbit…?
Meanwhile, noticing the crackling aura of the Thundering Violet Lightning, the white-furred Giant Moonlight Rabbit slowly bent down, inserted its ears into the ground, and crushed the rocks into fine dust.
Then…
It actually assumed a throwing stance, facing the Thundering Violet Lightning and the streamer Xiao Kui.
