Chapter 4: Moonlight Rabbit
Although Yin Huomei was beautiful, in a fantasy beast-taming world filled with beautiful girls, there were few ugly girls of her age and grade. Just imagine, who would become a fan of a woman with similar looks to themselves? That’s why Yin Huomei sometimes had to battle several times just to gain a single follower.
Unless, of course, you were like Lian Xing, whose stunning beauty could make even same-age girls scream and faint even when she was rolling around on the floor throwing a tantrum…
Even if she were brutally beaten and killed in a battle, she could make the opponent lose even more, experiencing true pain. Because their hard-earned fans would all be drawn to her!
At this moment, looking at Yin Huomei, who had already summoned her pet beast, Lian Xing casually waved her hand, summoning her Moonlight Drive.
“Whoosh!”
With a flash of dazzling light, a golden drone shaped like a floating turret landed on Lian Xing’s shoulder.
With the combination of Moonlight Drive and the Splitting Laser combat skill, Lian Xing had been on a winning streak. It wasn’t that she was invincible in the academy, but she rarely lost ranking battles.
However, after personally using this powerful combination, Lian Xing found herself wincing, her eye twitching. It was like being used to a max-level account in an online game, then helping a friend level up their low-level account, only to find that even their skill points were allocated wrongly, and their equipment set was incomplete…
[Battle commencing in 3 seconds]
Soon, as the countdown timer appeared in the sky, Yin Huomei focused intently on the golden-haired, bun-wearing girl opposite her. Her Weapon Species pet beast, resembling a fiery flying knife, began to gather power, ready to shoot out and attack the opponent the moment the battle began.
Meanwhile, Lian Xing frowned thoughtfully as she saw her opponent’s pet beast. A Weapon Species Fire Scythe specializing in speed enhancement. The combination itself wasn’t a big problem, but…
Why choose her, with her ranged Mechanical Species, as an opponent? No matter how fast a Mid-Tier Weapon Species was, it couldn’t compete with a ranged attack-type Mechanical Species!
[Battle Begin]
[Restrictions Lifted]
With a “Whoosh,” the moment the battle began, the Fire Scythe burst forth, leaving a blurred afterimage in the air as it moved at a speed invisible to the naked eye. The arc of fire crossed dozens of meters in the blink of an eye, seemingly about to pierce the golden-haired, bun-wearing girl in a matter of seconds.
At this moment, the corners of Yin Huomei’s mouth curled up slightly, while Lian Xing didn’t even blink. After roughly estimating the Fire Scythe’s speed, she waved her hand dismissively, not even bothering to look at the result.
A second later, a flickering golden light slowly lit up at the muzzle of the Moonlight Drive, emanating a breathtaking energy fluctuation.
[Combat Skill: Splitting Laser]
“Boom——!!!!!”
In the next second, the laser fired. The golden laser, accompanied by a sonic boom, suddenly split into a dozen thinner golden lines halfway through its trajectory, scattering like flower petals and bypassing the Fire Scythe, piercing straight to the edge of the battle space.
In that instant, the Fire Scythe’s furious flight stopped, gradually turning to ash and dissipating in mid-air.
As the surrounding smoke and dust slowly cleared, Yin Huomei looked down at her illusory body riddled with a dozen bullet holes and collapsed to the ground, dumbfounded and disbelieving.
She lost just like that!?
How fast was that attack…
Wasn’t this just pure cheating!?
If Lian Xing knew what her opponent was thinking, she would definitely scoff. Duh, at the same Mid-Tier level, if a ranged Mechanical Species couldn’t outspeed a Weapon Species in terms of firing speed, she might as well just give up. Even a cyber flying sword wouldn’t help!
After the battle ended, Lian Xing didn’t linger, quickly exiting the battle space. Her consciousness swiftly returned to reality through the moving particle light spots, and the unfamiliar yet familiar white ceiling appeared before her eyes.
Through this battle, Lian Xing gained a deeper understanding of the current situation. The reason she could become the eleventh-ranked Supernova wasn’t because her combination was too strong, but because her opponents were…well, not very good.
Just like the early days of Pet Beast Evolution Battle, there were all sorts of strange and useless combinations, a true chaotic mess!
“Alright, I’ve tested the limits of Moonlight Drive, it’s time for regression.”
“Each pet beast can only be reset once in its lifetime. Luckily, my predecessor hasn’t used this opportunity yet, otherwise, I would have to reset myself…”
Having quickly made up her mind, Lian Xing summoned Moonlight Drive.
Then, in a burst of illusory light, the glittering golden floating turret slowly began to shrink, transforming into a fluffy, snow-white, docile lop-eared rabbit. Although it looked no different from an ordinary rabbit, a golden crescent moon pattern was imprinted on its back.
This was the low-tier Juvenile Species, Moonlight Rabbit!
“Eek!”
After returning to its initial form, the Moonlight Rabbit squealed and hopped on the bed a few times, seemingly wanting to sneak away, but Lian Xing grabbed it by the scruff of its neck.
Lian Xing hugged the Moonlight Rabbit tightly, her face slightly flushed, her expression intoxicated as she nuzzled its fur.
“Sob, sob, a moving Moonlight Rabbit, so cute! Come, let mommy kiss you, mua~~~”
“How can its fur be so soft? Even though its fur is fluffy, its body is so thin, just like a mole cricket from the sewer!!!”
At this moment, the star patterns in the golden-haired, bun-wearing girl’s eyes shimmered with a strange light as she rolled around on the bed with the weak Moonlight Rabbit in her arms. Lian Xing had, after all, spent nearly ten years with the Moonlight Rabbit in the online game in her previous life. It was like a 2D-loving gamer who suddenly found their waifu come to life. There was no way to describe the excitement, other than to say…it was intense.
Apart from the moment she discovered her stunning beauty, this was the second time she felt that transmigrating wasn’t so bad after all.
After having her fill of fun, Lian Xing held the innocent-looking Moonlight Rabbit in a chokehold and opened the pet status panel with a flushed face.
[Moonlight Drive can be regressed to its initial form, returning learned combat skills and all training points. Talent remains unchanged. Lifetime limit: once.]
[Do you wish to initialize?]
[Initialization successful. 10 training points returned, Blue Quality combat skill (Splitting Laser) returned, one Mid-Tier evolution opportunity returned.]
“Buzz——!!!”
Under Lian Xing’s unilateral decision, a brief buzzing sound accompanied the process as the Moonlight Rabbit felt something drift away from within its body. It had been initialized to its low-tier Juvenile Species form and could no longer evolve into the Mechanical Species Moonlight Drive. Not only its evolved form, but even its combat skills were stripped away.
Its kingly power was gone!!!
“…”
“…”
“Alright, now the real fun begins~~~~” Lian Xing excitedly kissed the ashen-faced Moonlight Rabbit in her arms and tapped her slender white fingers on the translucent panel, quickly flipping the displayed interface to the next page.
[Low-Tier — Juvenile Species — Moonlight Rabbit, Evolvable]
[Total of 5 Evolution Paths:]
[Mid-Tier — Biological Species — Giant Moonlight Rabbit]
[Mid-Tier — Mechanical Species — Moonlight Drive]
[Mid-Tier — Weapon Species — Moon Blade]
[Mid-Tier — Viral Species — Moon Fragrance]
[Mid-Tier — Elemental Species — Moonlight Sprite]
From beginning to end, Lian Xing had only one thought regarding the Moonlight Rabbit’s evolution: the Biological Species path, the Giant Moonlight Rabbit. Although the Giant Moonlight Rabbit’s combat power was considered bottom-tier among Mid-Tier pet beasts…
There were countless ways to compensate for individual combat power. For the sake of its future evolution, Lian Xing was willing to sacrifice some of her early-game strength.
