Chapter 95: Little Moonwalker, Battle!!!
“Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah!!!”
Lian Xing and Star Sand exchanged confused glances as they watched Little Moonwalker rolling around on the bed, crying.
Normally, it should be happy to see another member of its species, especially one of a similar age…
Why was it suddenly crying?
Little Moonwalker, its eyes filled with tears, crawled over to Lian Xing and clung to her skirt, refusing to let go, not even daring to look at Star Sand. But every now and then, it would peek at Star Sand from the corner of its eye.
“Oh~~~”
So that was it.
Seeing this, Lian Xing finally understood.
It was like a four or five-year-old child seeing a sexy person dressed in stockings. Even though it didn’t have any understanding or ability in that area, it couldn’t help but… stare. But then it became uncomfortable, not knowing the reason or how to deal with it, and started crying, mistakenly thinking that it had beenslapped…
“Here, you two play. Mommy has things to do…~~~” Lian Xing, ignoring Little Moonwalker’s thoughts, simply handed it to Star Sand, then went into the bathroom. As she undressed and prepared to bathe, a message arrived on her phone.
[Thunder Fly: Can you teach me how to master bloodline combat skills? I can trade you other resources or information.]
Thunder Fly?
Lian Xing blinked, confused, then, after a while, remembered that this was the lightning elemental girl from the white deer space. They had exchanged contact information during their second meeting.
[Lian Xing: If I remember correctly, the Juvenile Species form of Thundering Thousand Tribulations is Thundering Sound, right? Then I can definitely help you…]
[Thunder Fly: What do you want?]
She seemed excited, making several typos.
Lian Xing thought for a moment, then decided on her…price.
[Lian Xing: Access to the Ethereal Thunder Marsh battle region and a few other high-level regions. Can you send me a connection chip?]
[Thunder Fly: Are there any famous regions near you?]
[Lian Xing: The 6th-level region, Bimen Pass. Heard of it?]
…
…
This time, it took three minutes for the reply to arrive.
[Thunder Fly: Found it on the map. It’s just…a bit far, 739,123 portal jumps. It would take about six years by mechanical airship. I’ll ask my mom to make a trip. She’s a Monarch-Tier pet beast. Half a month, okay?]
Seeing the reply, Lian Xing’s eye twitched.
No wonder there was no…world map…in this world.
The journey from Baiyue Province to Qingyao Sea only took less than a week, but the distance was already greater than the circumference of Earth in her previous life. But from Ethereal Thunder Marsh to Bimen Pass,it would take six years…how absurd…
It seemed dividing the world into battle regions was a wise decision.
Otherwise, with the vastness of this world, who knew what kind of monsters would appear if all regions were connected…
Thinking of this, Lian Xing suddenly realized that she didn’t have a pet beast suitable for long-distance travel…
This world was incredibly vast. She couldn’t rely on mechanical airships forever, right?
[Thunder Fly: Is that too long? I’ll tell my mom to hurry up. 10 days, okay?]
[Lian Xing: No rush, no rush. Don’t be so filial. Let Auntie take her time. A month is fine~~~]
After briefly sharing some insights on bloodline combat skills with Thunder Fly, Lian Xing started cleaning herself. Although she couldn’t shower, she could at least wipe herself down…
A few minutes later, when Lian Xing emerged from the bathroom, Little Moonwalker was already bouncing around the room, no longer shy. It jumped over the sleeping Moonlight Rabbit and the Golden Leaf like hurdles, then hopped onto Star Sand’s lap, finally using Lian Xing’s stockings, which had been discarded on the floor, to clean its hooves.
“This little brat is getting a bit too comfortable…” Lian Xing’s eye twitched, seeing her beloved stockings covered in hoof prints.
She had just taken a bath, and it was already acting up…!?
But she didn’t say anything, quietly closing the door behind her as she walked over to Silver Dragon.
Incidentally, unlike what Tian Quan had imagined, she and Silver Dragon hadn’t progressed…to that stage yet.
Until Lian Xing found a way to cure her condition, she wouldn’t do anything with anyone~~~
Three days later, Qingyao Sea Beast Tamer Association Headquarters.
The first round of the Speed Puzzle assessment officially began.
The mode was 100-Pet Battle Royale, only the top five survivors would qualify for the Bimen Pass trials. For most 9th-level regions, Qingyao Sea’s initial test eliminated 80% of the trial participants.
But for the 6th-level region, Bimen Pass, the elite trial participants selected from each 7th and 8th-level region were just stepping stones…
In the face of a true Royal-Tier Beast Tamer, the other participants had no chance. Their only goal was to achieve a high ranking and bring honor to their families and regions.
Qingyao Sea official livestream, 11.9 billion viewers online.
“It’s rare to have another competition so soon after the league. Yay~~~”
“But it’s still the same cast, just with a few more villagersfrom lower-level regions. Nothing interesting~~”
“Wuwuwu, I wish I could see Miss Molan’s amazing performance at Bimen Pass. Damn Bimen Pass, they don’t even allow access to their battle region. They must be rigging the competition!!!”
“I heard a…village girl…destroyed the Great Lord Biluo’s testing device. Will Miss Molan lose…?”
“These villagers…don’t seem that strong…”
“I heard a…village girl called all of us in Qingyao Sea “trash”. Does anyone know what happened?”
The livestream chat, with 11.9 billion viewers, was in complete chaos. If you didn’t block most of the comments, you couldn’t even see the screen.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the venue, captured by the cameras, over a hundred trial participants from the 9th-level regions had nervous expressions. After all, the final matches of their own academy leagues usually only had about a billion viewers. They had never seen such an absurd number as a hundred billion.
Under everyone’s gaze, a cold, black-haired girl with curly hair stood proudly, a black, mechanical turtle perched on her head.
Molan, the three-time champion of the Qingyao Sea Academy League, the younger sister of the current guardian, the dream girl and idol of countless Qingyao Sea residents, her follower count: 1.5 billion.
Her annual endorsement fees alone could buy half of a 10th-level region.
“Molan, I heard that the participants from Baiyue Province are all strong. Should we avoid them in the early stages? If we lose too much stamina, someone might steal the victory…”
“Sure—” Molan nodded nonchalantly, agreeing to the suggestion of the second-ranked participant from Qingyao Sea, a petite girl with red hair and a mushroom haircut.
Although they were rivals in the Academy League, when facing trial participants from other regions, they would work together. Moreover, there was that monster from Baiyue Province who could destroy the mechanical conch.
Of course, she hadn’t been idle, after learning about Moon Rabbit Lian Xing’s power.
Molan hadn’t just sat there waiting. She had fed her main battle pet beast its first Royal-Tier crystal, allowing it to inherit a second talent characteristic. This way, even if she faced an opponent with Royal-Tier power, she would at least have a…fighting chance…
Finally, five minutes before the start of the competition, Lian Xing and Silver Dragon arrived.
Under Molan’s wary gaze, as the golden-haired girl with buns and starry eyes, dressed in a white kangaroo onesie with a baby pouch, appeared, the expressions of half the trial participants turned strange.
What kind of outfit was that!?
Lian Xing had no choice.
Little Moonwalker was incredibly energetic, bouncing around the room for 25 hours a day.
She couldn’t just tie it up with a rope during the competition, right?
But during their time together, Lian Xing had discovered a way to calm Little Moonwalker down: holding it close, allowing it to feel the…warmth…from before it was born.
This was why Lian Xing had abandoned her stockings and opted for this bizarre kangaroo onesie.
At this moment, Little Moonwalker, peeking out from the pouch, its eyes wide with curiosity, observed the other trial participants.
As Lian Xing and Silver Dragon arrived, the guardian of Qingyao Sea, the woman in a black dress, emerged from backstage.
“Ahem, trial participants, I’m sure you’re all familiar with the rules, but just in case, I’ll explain them again.”
“This competition will be held in a…semi-virtual…map mode, where the Beast Tamers participate in reality, while their pet beasts enter a virtual environment. It’s a 100-Pet Battle Royale with single pet deployment. One round, winner takes all. The top five will qualify for the Bimen Pass Speed Puzzle trials.”
“Now, please come forward and collect your pet beast simulation projection bands and attach them to your chosen pet beasts~~”
As the guardian of Qingyao Sea finished speaking, the dozen or so Qingyao Sea trial participants stepped forward and collected their bands. However, the Beast Tamers from the 9th-level regions looked at each other, confused.
Even Lian Xing was bewildered.
Pet beast simulation projection bands? Beast Tamers participating in reality, while their pet beasts entered a virtual environment? What was all this?
She had never heard of such a thing.
Meanwhile, seeing their confused expressions, the livestream chat erupted in laughter.
“Haha, look at their dumbfounded faces! They’ve never even heard of these rules?”
“Does the Great Lord Biluo really need to give those 9th-level region trial participants a chance? They’re just here to make up the numbers, right!!!”
“Shut up, you elitists. Aren’t we also villagers in the eyes of those from the 6th-level region? What’s there to be smug about!”
“Well, there’s a big difference between an 8th-level region and a 9th-level region, right?”
The 11.9 billion viewers quickly descended into chaotic arguments over this trivial matter.
Just then, Tian Quan approached them and explained, “This is a special login device used in higher-level regions. It allows the pet beasts to enter a semi-virtual mode, while the Beast Tamers remain in reality.”
“The difference from the fully virtual mode is that if the pet beast is defeated, it’s considered dead in reality. But the Beast Tamers, even if attacked, won’t be harmed.”
“Actually, the fully virtual mode was originally designed to protect the Beast Tamers from weaker regions. I heard that in those 2nd and 3rd-level regions, they don’t even use virtual modes. All their competitions are real battles”
So that was it…
Lian Xing nodded, understanding.
In a fully virtual mode, where there was no risk of death, it was difficult for pet beasts to unleash their full potential.
This meant that this semi-virtual mode targeted the pet beasts, not the Beast Tamers.
“But, doesn’t this login device bind to the Beast Tamer?”
“What if someone brought in a powerful wild pet beast?”
“…”
“…”
Facing Lian Xing’s question, Tian Quan hesitated for a moment, then scratched her fishtail and explained, “Well…some higher-level regions might be more strict, but Qingyao Sea probably wouldn’t worry about such a low probability event~~”
Low probability event?
Lian Xing nodded, not saying anything.
A few minutes later, the assessment finally began. Led by Molan, the Qingyao Sea trial participants entered the teleportation array first. After a moment of confusion, the Beast Tamers from the 9th-level regions also attached the virtual bands to their chosen pet beasts, their bodies gradually becoming translucent.
A total of 106 trial participants, one after another, vanished into the teleportation array.
Finally, only a few people remained, and Tian Quan was also about to enter.
“After the assessment begins, try to escape to the edge of the map. I can’t guarantee that you won’t be affected…”
Hearing Lian Xing’s warning, Tian Quan nodded seriously. Under the watchful eyes of billions of viewers, forming teams was impossible.
But for a Beast Tamer of her level, the key to winning this battle was avoiding Lian Xing’s attacks.
A few seconds later, Silver Dragon also entered the teleportation array. Before leaving, she glanced at the fawn peeking out from Lian Xing’s kangaroo pouch, but she didn’t think much of it. After all, the fawn’s life force was ordinary, and Lian Xing had said that she was just babysitting for a wild friend. There were no signs of a contract between them.
However…
The moment Silver Dragon stepped into the teleportation array…
Lian Xing quickly attached the virtual band to one of Little Moonwalker’s hooves.
Low probability event, huh?
The setting sun’s gentle embrace, the rising dawn’s first light.
Lian Xing · Newborn form, making an epic comeback!!!
