Chapitre 2: Overachiever
Éditeur: Atlas Studios
Chen Mo ended his meditation and walked to the door.
When he opened the door, there was a cute little fox with snow-white fur.
The strange thing was that the little white fox's pupils were as red as blood as though a ball of flames were burning inside. This indicated that it had the bloodline of the Blazing Flame Fox.
However, the real Blazing Flame Fox's fur was bright orange-red and there were flames flickering between its fur.
This little fellow in front of him had the bloodline of a spirit beast, but not much.
"Chirp?"
Upon seeing Chen Mo, the little fox's eyes flashed with joy. With an elegant and light leap, it skillfully entered Chen Mo's arms.
"You're really punctual. Don't worry, I'll get it for you."
After fusing with his memories, he was no stranger to the little fox in front of him.
This was a little fox that came to beg for food on time every day. Because its cry was "chirp chirp chirp chirp" and its entire body was snow-white, Chen Mo named it Bai Xiaojiu. He usually called it Jiu Bao.
In his memory, when he first saw Jiu Bao, it was still as thin as a matchstick. His entire body was dirty and his eyes were filled with vigilance.
Chen Mo did not know if Jiu Bao had been abandoned by its parents or if its parents had already died. In any case, she had already been wandering around when he saw the little fellow. Due to its extremely poor talent, no one had been willing to adopt it.
Perhaps the similar experience had triggered Chen Mo. After discovering the little fox, he had been feeding it. The little fox would often bring some wild fruits to "repay his kindness".
Chen Mo quickly took out a pot of dried fish and an apple from the fridge.
The little fox did not hesitate and started nibbling happily.
"Jiu Bao, control yourself a little. Look, you're almost as fat as a ball!"
Chen Mo tried to use his Beast Language talent.
"Chirp chirp chirp!" (I'm so fat because you fed me! Moreover, I'm not fat!)
The little white fox glared at Chen Mo and began to eat the broken bones.
However, halfway through the meal, the little white fox seemed to have realized something. Its eyes widened as it looked at Chen Mo in disbelief.
"Chirp?" (Why are you able to talk to me now?)
In the past, when there was a language barrier, they communicated purely with their minds.
"It's very simple. I've already opened up the Beast Taming Space. The Beast Taming talent I awakened happens to endow me with this ability."
Chen Mo said calmly.
"Chirp?"
The little white fox was stunned.
We clearly agreed to be good-for-nothings together, but you actually secretly worked hard behind my back!
Other than that, the little white fox also felt a little lonely.
The opening of the Beast Taming Space meant that Chen Mo was about to step into the domain of a beast tamer and contract his own spirit beast.
It would be inappropriate for it to freeload again.
"I can contract a spirit beast now. Why don't you be my first spirit beast?"
Just as the little fox was feeling depressed, Chen Mo suddenly asked.
Contracting the white fox in front of him was not a choice Chen Mo made in a moment of passion.
In any case, his Beast Taming talent could continuously increase the attributes of spirit beasts. Spirit Beast talents were not as important in comparison.
In the future, if it obtained some attributes like [Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Bloodline] and [Outstanding Fire Talent] from the challenge mission, wouldn't Xiao Jiu directly turn from trash to a genius?!
The spirit beasts assigned by the government were also not very talented. On the other hand, the white fox in front of him had been with him for a year.
More importantly, the little white fox was good-looking!
In the past, when he played card games, Chen Mo was a fan of looks, not strength.
It would be even better if Little Fox could transform and repay his kindness in the future!
"Chirp?" (Are you serious?)
The little white fox's eyes that were as red as fire revealed hesitation.
It wasn't that he didn't want to form a contract with Chen Mo.
It didn't want to hold Chen Mo back.
It knew its talent. Up until now, it could not even release the simplest spark.
Although he had the bloodline of a spirit beast, he was no different from an ordinary wild beast.
Initially, they were brothers in distress and it was not bad for them to comfort each other.
However, Chen Mo had already opened up the Beast Taming Space. He could completely contract a spirit beast that was better than it.
"Don't think too much. To me, there are no lousy spiritual beasts, only lousy beast tamers. If you don't object, then it's now happily decided"
Chen Mo rubbed the little fox's head and said forcefully.
He knew that the little fox, who had been wandering since it was young, was very sensitive. Therefore, he made the decision resolutely.
"Chirp~"
Hearing Chen Mo's firm voice, the little fox felt inexplicably touched and at peace.
While enjoying Chen Mo's touch, the little fellow closed its eyes comfortably.
If it made a contract with Chen Mo, would it mean that he would have a master and a home in the future?
From an unstable meal ticket to a very stable meal ticket!
"Eat first. After you're done, we'll start the contract."
"Chirp!"
While the little fox was eating, Chen Mo was thinking about his attributes.
After contracting Xiao Jiu, he seemed to be able to complete the three daily challenges, [Resilience] and [Swiftness].
The effects of these two attributes were not bad, but for now, [Swiftness] was more suitable for Xiao Jiu.
Moreover, in the process of obtaining the [Resilience] attribute—
either he or Xiao Jiu would definitely be beaten up.
As for the two weekly challenges, they didn't seem to be of much use. Hence, Chen Mo first refreshed the [Slacking Master] challenge.
The words shattered into emerald green light spots and dissipated into the air.
Soon, blue spots of light appeared above the book and condensed into a new line of words.
"It's like opening a package. If it's paired with sound effects, it'll give off that vibe."
Chen Mo complained and then looked at the refreshed challenge—
Overachiever (Blue)
Cultivate or train for no less than 80 hours in a week.
[Overachiever] Attribute Effect: The longer you cultivate, the more obvious the cultivation effect will be.
"That's fine! Let's go!"
Chen Mo was overjoyed.
What he needed the most now was to improve his talent attributes. After all, he and Xiao Jiu were in the same boat and their talents were very poor.
The effect of the [Overachiever] attribute was very simple and crude. As long as he worked hard enough, his cultivation speed would become very fast!
Let's overachieve as hard as we can!
With a guarantee, Chen Mo refreshed the other weekly challenge, [Comedian]. In the end, it became [Magic Girl (Water)]. The effect was to increase the speed of learning water-type moves.
Challenging it required learning a new water-type move. Chen Mo did not have a water-type spirit beast, so it was obvious that he could not complete it. He directly passed.
After deciding on the weekly challenge, Chen Mo looked at the lonely monthly challenge at the bottom.
'This Immortal Drunken Wine attribute is not bad. Unfortunately, rare wine is not something I can afford now.'
The Beast Tamer Association used the Spiritual Realm's classification of spiritual materials to divide them into six grades.
Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary and Mythical. Each level was further subdivided into 10 levels.
Among them, the price of rare spiritual materials ranged from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands.
"I can only pass it. Who knows I might get the purple grade?"
Since he couldn't complete it, Chen Mo didn't hesitate and chose to refresh it.
The blue light shattered and the words that condensed again actually had a hint of purple. The new one was actually a purple attribute!
Lightning King (Purple)
In five minutes, withstand 10 lightning strikes of Awakening-level and above.
[Lightning King] Attribute Effect: You will possess lightning-type cultivation talent, lightning-type skill damage increases, lightning-type damage immunity by 50%.
