Chapter 113: Chapter 112: Falling on Flat Ground
“Hee!”
The Elental Spirit pulled his small hand out of a hole in the tree trunk, and the milky white dust floated down as it was drawn out.
This was already the third day of ability developnt, and over the three days, the Elental Spirit had gradually been able to control the speed at which it absorbed elents, successfully leaving behind dust while doing so.
However, a new problem arose, causing Shao Zifeng to doubt himself again, wondering if he had chosen the wrong direction for developnt.
By slowing down the absorption rate, the Elental Spirit was taking more ti, eventually only able to produce a minimal amount of wood dust, which was far from what Shao Zifeng had expected.
The path had narrowed.
...
“Go play for a while, but don’t run too far,” Shao Zifeng gently told the Elental Spirit, which clung to his face.
“Heehee!” rang the ethereal voice of the little fellow in his heart, leaving a big kiss on his face as it joyfully darted through the trees.
Qiqi habitually used Aromatic Healing to restore Shao Zifeng from fatigue.
Bathed in sweet-scented air, Shao Zifeng wiped the beads of sweat on his body with a towel, looking at the Elental Spirit with a satisfied smile.
Although ability developnt had reached a bottleneck, the intensive training over the past few days had been fruitful; the Elental Spirit had mastered four skills and could use them at will, even the progress bar for shaping its talents was steadily increasing.
The Elental Spirit particularly loved its new skill, Thorny Whip, and each ti it vented excess elental power, it would grab the little vine whip and lash wildly.
That expression, that posture—put it in a leather jacket and give it a candle, and it would be the perfect… phew!
Perhaps for that reason, the talent “Thorny Forest,” which was still in developnt, had already reached thirty percent.
Shao Zifeng had checked the talent information of “Thorny Forest” on the platform app, but unfortunately, the published talent information did not include this type.
However, he did not co away empty-handed; on the platform’s app, Shao Zifeng learned about a small group abroad that liked to collect information about mutant creatures published worldwide, and they operated a website.
Although the information collected by the site was solely based on video analysis, news reports, public papers, and rumors, even if the information is speculative and unconfird, it still attracted netizens from all over the world.
The website even had a ranking list for mutant creatures from different countries, and the comnts section below was a daily bloodbath, with netizens from various countries quarreling, each believing their country’s strongest mutant creatures were ranked too low.
As for accessing this website in Great Daxia, first…
you’d need a ladder.
But even under such inconvenient circumstances, netizens from Great Daxia still carved out a bloody path in the comnts section of the site’s rankings.
Seeing this, Shao Zifeng even wondered if Great Daxia set these restrictions to protect the global internet ecosystem; otherwise, unleashing them would be unbearable.
On this website, nad “Mutant Creatures Omninet,” Shao Zifeng indeed found a clue.
The talent section of the website listed a talent from the United States of Baleen. A mysterious pet’s talent there bore a na similar to “Thorny Forest.”
According to the description, this talent, translated on the site as “Elf Forest,” was a large-scale, venue-type talent. According to the contributor’s speculation, this talent had energy restoration and group healing abilities, which were very practical.
Shao Zifeng was sowhat tempted, as Qiqi’s talent was also for healing, but its focus was on healing effects, which sowhat paled in comparison to such strategic-level talents.
Lying on Shao Zifeng’s outer garnt, Qiqi seed to sense sothing; it slowed its chewing on the sleeve and slowly turned its head to look at Shao Zifeng, its eyes calm as water.
A jolt went through Shao Zifeng’s heart—was it that sensitive? It had discovered his thoughts just by his internal musings.
He quickly discarded any distractions, thinking to himself, ‘But my Qiqi’s Inheritance Skill is not for show; once it grows up, it will surely outclass all the healing-type pets in the world.’
Thinking this, Shao Zifeng glanced at Qiqi, and sure enough, its attention was no longer on him, but seriously engaged with his clothing.
Shao Zifeng breathed a sigh of relief.
Why did it feel like ever since he kissed Qiqi that day, it had beco more sensitive?
Just as he finished pondering this, Shao Zifeng shivered and stiffly turned his head.
Qiqi’s eyes, like jadeite gems, were looking at him again.
The atmosphere… grew sowhat tense!
“Ding”
The crisp ringtone of the smartphone shattered the silence of the poplar forest, dispersing the solemn atmosphere.
A deer spit out the sleeve, plucked the phone from the pocket of the jacket Shao Zifeng had placed on the ground, and trotted it over to Shao Zifeng.
After taking the phone, Shao Zifeng patted the deer’s head, “Thank you, deer.”
“Yo.” The deer nodded slightly and turned to lie back on the clothes.
Shao Zifeng shook his head helplessly, his jacket almost beca the deer’s exclusive mattress.
Unlocking the phone, it had been two days since he had ssaged to inquire about the platform, and Luo Feng had finally replied.
Luo Feng, “On the fifth floor of the Departnt Store at Dragon City County People’s Square, every half hour, the elevator on the fifth floor will stall for three minutes. During this ti, tap gently but firmly seven tis on the left wall of the elevator cabin.”
Shao Zifeng, “Thank you.”
A mont later, Shao Zifeng composed another ssage, “You… are you alright?”
After a long wait, Luo Feng did not reply anymore.
Shao Zifeng sighed, and called out to the deer, “We’re going ho.”
“Hee hee!”
“Yo!”
…
When Shao Zifeng returned ho, his mother was not around due to so business.
Qiqi, as usual, circled around Shao Zifeng a couple of tis, then with a “hmm” raised its arrogant little head and strutted away on its paws.
Taking a few steps, Qiqi suddenly stopped, shook its little ears, and with a look of surprise as if just noticing Shao Zifeng, exclaid, “Oh, Zifeng, you’re back!”
Saying this, Qiqi quickly turned and ran towards Shao Zifeng, but compared to its usual agility, this ti its movents were quite clumsy.
Shao Zifeng watched bewildered as Qiqi ran towards him.
Hiss!
You were just throwing a tantrum.
No, you have been ignoring for the last few days.
Such a quick change in attitude?
Qiqi trotted closer to Shao Zifeng, with the phone hanging around its neck swaying from side to side.
Shao Zifeng instinctively opened his arms to catch it.
A sly flash passed through Qiqi’s deep blue eyes, its left paw blocking in front of the right.
Slap!
The entire cat face hit the ground, the sensitive nose sustaining a heavy blow, hurt it so much that its whole body shuddered, and its tail puffed up, thickening.
Shao Zifeng was dumbfounded.
How had it mastered the skill of faceplanting?
And it totally doesn’t match your refined elder sister voice.
Qiqi got up from the ground in one swift movent and expertly picked up the phone hanging around its neck.
Looking at the cracks on the screen, Qiqi’s pupils widened in disbelief first, then its whole body trembled violently, and finally, it hugged the phone tightly to its chest, eyes brimming with tears, uttering a pathetic ow, “My phone is broken ow~”
Shao Zifeng watched Qiqi’s exaggerated acting, his mouth twitched.
He finally understood why Qiqi had been throwing tantrums these few days, you could have just said you wanted a phone.
