Capítulo 9: Young Yu
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It was early in the morning.
Lin Yu opened his eyes, looked at the familiar ceiling, and yawned.
Just as he was about to get up and change, he suddenly remembered that he didn't have to go to school today.
The school had given them a few days off in the third year of high school, in the name of preparing for the pledge conference.
Indeed, by this time, they had already finished all the courses they had to learn in school.
The rest of the work was practice and pet beast training.
"What should we do today?"
Lin Yu thought for a moment, then waved his hand and summoned Xiaozi.
In the spell array, the usual icy beauty looked drowsy as if she had just woken up.
However, the next moment, her spirit was lifted and she regained her cool.
Lin Yu chuckled and placed a glass bottle between the two of them.
There was a green caterpillar in the bottle, and it looked up at the two giants.
This was a Sky Blue Worm that he had randomly caught on the way. This kind of pet beast had poor qualifications. Before evolution, its potential was only one star.
He only had one skill, [String Shot], and his combat power was only 5.
Lin Yu didn't even need Xiaozi to make a move. He knocked it out with one punch and threw it into the bottle.
When the house worm saw Lin Yu, it seemed to remember the humiliation it suffered yesterday and rushed toward Lin Yu.
Then, it hit the glass bottle.
"Come on, let's try the [Devour] talent again."
Looking at the dizzy Sky Blue Worm, Lin Yu was full of anticipation.
Xiaozi also slowly shifted its gaze to the bug.
The Sky Blue Worm seemed to feel a sense of danger and began to shoot silk at the bottle.
However, it was of no use.
Lin Yu was speechless when he saw that the inside of the bottle was wrapped in white silk.
He stretched out his hand and activated his talent.
"Devour!"
Wisps of mist floated out of his hand, covering the entire glass bottle and the Sky Blue Worm.
Hiss!
Lin Yu felt his mental energy being consumed rapidly.
"It's even more draining than when I devoured the Illusionary Spirit Paramita Flower..."
"Is it because it devoured living things?"
A hint of enlightenment rose in his heart.
"It's a good thing I chose a Sky Blue Worm this time. If I had another pet beast, I'm afraid I would have been drained."
He sighed. As expected, it was impossible to use [Devour] in battle. After all, it was only a farming skill.
In the mist, the Sky Blue Worm seemed to be getting tired, and it gradually stopped struggling.
Xiaozi slowly absorbed the mist, thread by thread, along with the bottle. The Sky Blue Worm became more and more illusory.
[Devouring complete. Life level increased.]
"No skills? My spiritual energy has increased a little."
After receiving the notification, Lin Yu fell into deep thought.
"The probability of learning a skill should be affected by the energy level of the target being devoured."
"I wonder if I have to devour the same attribute to obtain the skill?"
"I still need to test it out."
To be honest, the result was within his expectations.
If devouring the Sky Blue Worms could give him powerful skills, he would turn into a young insect hunter and get into the grass every day.
However, he still felt a little dispirited.
He didn't have the money to purchase rare resources. If he wanted to find a more powerful pet beast, he had to go to the wild.
"Forget it. Let's go to the Battle Hall first." Lin Yu recalled.
The Battle Hall was also one of the common facilities in Yanhuang. Beastmasters could find opponents to fight in there. It could be considered a good place for sparring and training in the city.
They were distributed in various cities, and there were many of them, both public and private.
...
It was now at the Ultimate Duel Hall.
Lin Yu looked up at the signboard of the private Battle Hall and pushed the door open.
"Hello, do you need any help?" a sweet voice came from his right.
It was a young woman in her 20s. She was wearing a white work shirt and a black skirt with a work pass on her chest.
"I want to find someone to fight," Lin Yu said bluntly.
"Is this your first time here?" the staff member asked.
Seeing Lin Yu nod, she immediately revealed a sweet smile.
"If you want to experience the combat function, you need to become a member first."
"How? Hmm, how much is it?"
Looking at the professional smile on her face, Lin Yu motioned for her to continue.
"We have monthly, quarterly, and annual membership. The monthly membership costs 300 yuan, the quarterly membership is 800 Yuan, and the annual membership is 3000 Yuan," the woman smiled and said.
Lin Yu thought for a moment and felt that he could choose a monthly or quarterly membership.
There was no need to pay an annual fee. He might not be in a city after the college entrance examination...
Seeing that Lin Yu did not speak, the woman continued, "If you choose to buy months, quarters, or years, you'll get a better discount. In fact, I recommend you to become a lifetime member..."
"Stop, stop, stop! I'll just start with a month first." Lin Yu was a little dizzy.
After paying, he scanned the QR code provided by the woman and registered.
"I have to use an ID?"
"Yes, those who come here to fight usually don't use their real name," the woman said with a smile.
Lin Yu nodded. That was true. "Who doesn't have a few fake names in the world?"
He thought for a moment and entered [Young Yu].
He didn't have any other intentions. He just hoped that he could always maintain the positive attitude of a teenager.
"Alright, let's get the game started." Lin Yu looked at his phone in anticipation.
He was already in the lounge, waiting for the results.
The rank that the system matched him with could be freely set. He chose junior Beastmaster. His pet beast's rank was at the origin birth realm, and there was no restriction on the levels.
He wanted to challenge a high-level opponent since he would not lose anything if he lost.
However, it was difficult to find high-level opponents. Those at the late-stage origin birth realm were either trying hard to break through to the next stage or they had all gone out to fight in the wild.
"Eh, match successful?" Lin Yu looked at the interface.
His opponent's ID was [Miss Energetic Cat]. She had a pink profile picture, and the bottom showed that she was in Battle Room No. 3.
Lin Yu quickly stood up and walked to the small door of Battle Room No. 3.
Room No. 3 was a spacious and standard battlefield. There were no additional scenes such as mountains and rivers.
When Lin Yu entered, a girl was already standing inside.
She had pink hair and was wearing a pink lolita dress. She had black leather shoes on her feet and carried a cute bag.
"Pink hair? I don't know if it was natural or dyed." Lin Yu was stunned when he saw her.
Some people in this world seemed to have mutated, and their hair had its own color from birth.
Lin Yu was already used to this. After all, even pet beasts were a real thing, so the color of their hair was nothing surprising to him.
Of course, most of the people in Yanhuang were like Lin Yu, with black hair and black eyes.
The girl's eyes lit up when she saw Lin Yu.
"Hey there, you look so cute. Can we be friends?"
Lin Yu looked at her slightly thin and small body. After a moment of silence, he asked tentatively, "May I ask how old you are?"
"I'm already eighteen," she said with a smile.
"Oh, that's fine then..." Lin Yu nodded.
"I think you're pretty too."
"Really?" How about this? If you lose this game, you'll be my boyfriend." Her eyes lit up as she said.
"Don't worry. I will definitely not lose." Lin Yu waved his hand and walked to the front of the arena.
As the spell array was being formed, a purple-robed figure floated out.
"Wow, is this your pet beast? She is so beautiful!" After praising Xiaozi, Miss Cat subconsciously opened the illustrated handbook.
Xiaozi was speechless.
Lin Yu laughed awkwardly at the side. Although his opponent was complimenting her, he felt that she was a little phony.
