"Hmph. What would you like to drink?" Liu Buding snorted coldly, her impression of Tang Xian still stuck on the last ti she was forcibly packed into a box by Tang Xian, a grievance the young girl couldn't easily get over. She even went to tattle to Liu Lang.
Liu Lang is soone who enjoys spinning tall tales, like how he used to chat with Tang Xian about their ancestors saving the world, obviously fabricating everything. Liu Buding always played the lead female role in that "ancestor saving the world" story.
Back in the lower levels of Fortress 39, whenever Liu Buding was bullied, Liu Lang would grab a wrench ready to set things right.
But this ti, he was thwarted and said with a bitter smile, "My dear Buding, tis have changed. The world doesn't need saving anymore, so just eat more and get plumper. That way, you won't fit into a box next ti."
Liu Buding was quite disheartened and recorded this vendetta in her little notebook kept in her tiny pocket. Inside were the nas of many who had bullied her, with Tang Xian's na encircled in black.
Tang Xian didn't want anything to drink and said,
"Dong Ran, take Xiaojiu to pack so things. I'm taking her to the mining area to have so fun for a while."
"You call going to the mining area 'having fun'?" Liu Buding knew the mining area was still very dangerous.
"Of course, has-been hero." Tang Xian said as he made a pressing-down gesture with his hand. He knew about Liu Lang's story as well. Liu Buding's eyes widened instantly, and she glared at Tang Xian fiercely.
"Is Tang going away for a long ti?" Dong Ran noticed that Tang Xian was holding a notebook.
"Mmm, but it's not like I won't be returning. After this, I won't be going back to the Pyramid."
"What are you going to do in the mining area?"
"Strengthen the body."
Dong Ran and Liu Buding were clueless, but Dong Ran obediently went to help Tang Xiaojiu pack.
Tang Xiaojiu was also very happy; the schools in Baichuan City had already started. Going to the mining area ant no school and no studying. Tang Xian had once said that studying was the second most joyful thing besides eating, and she regretted that her small fox life was thus destined to disagree with Tang Xian.
She could only eat more in search of other resonances.
Tang Xian, unaware of Tang Xiaojiu's thoughts, left her with a careless remark:
"Rember to bring the textbooks and dictionaries."
...
...
After leaving the Fresh Sense Café, Tang Xian finally went to et Ju Mang.
Along the way, he also called Akasi, Yuan Wu, Tang Feiji, and Qing JiuYu.
The group was naturally happy to see Tang Xian. He had changed into new clothes and showed no signs of yesterday's bedraggled appearance or the wounds he had sustained.
The main combat forces of Baichuan City gathered in the usual office space of Li Xiaoyu, which suddenly felt a bit crowded.
Li Xiaoyu, looking at the notebook Tang Xian was holding, asked:
"What is this for?"
Li Xiaoyu knew Tang Xian was going to discuss so matters today, with everyone there looking to him for commands.
However, he hadn't expected so many people to show up all at once.
Tang Xian said with a smile:
"Don't be so serious; we're just going to discuss so potential situations that might arise in the future. Once we have a plan, we can do our part and then leave the rest to fate."
Tang Xian tossed the notebook to Ju Mang saying:
"Before I set off tomorrow, I need you to organize all the detailed information on the myriad of creatures ntioned here for ."
Li Xiaoyu had an epiphany, guessing that the notebook probably contained a register of mining area creatures. It was just a bit surprising that there existed soone Tang Xian needed to consult with, since few people had more knowledge about the mining area than Tang Xian.
Ju Mang flipped through it casually and frowned as he said:
"What are you planning to do? Surely you're not unfamiliar with all the creatures listed here?"
"There are many secrets to these creatures. I am aware of the traits of the vast majority here, but who dares to say they are intimately familiar? There might be characteristics you know that I do not. Since you are a Baichuan City resident, naturally you should reveal all useful information for Baichuan City."
Akasi and Li Xiaoyu exchanged a look, suddenly feeling that Tang Xian had beco much more modest.
Ju Mang said:
"There's such a diversity of creatures here; so species even have vast numbers. You gather information obviously to deal with them. But can you handle them all?"
So creatures belong to the cataclysmic class, and though others might be weaker, their numbers are vast.
Ju Mang didn't go to the mining area but surmised that he wouldn't be able to hunt all the creatures listed either.
Tang Xian responded:
"I am very strong, but my luck is quite poor," said Tang Xian.
Ju Mang didn't understand, and neither did the others.
"You can understand it as my ability to extract so special things from myriad beasts. However, the drop rate for these things is quite low. Li Xiaoyu will have her own ways to manage Baichuan City; I don't need to interfere, what I can do is to improve myself.
And the fastest way I can think of to beco stronger is to kill myriad beasts."
In killing myriad beasts, Tang Xian noticed so characteristics: If he didn't acquire a skill the first ti he killed a certain creature, he wouldn't get a skill drop when he faced the sa creature later.
Therefore, he had to broaden the types as much as possible. He intends to kill every different species in the mining area at least once.
This ti, Ju Mang understood. Though she didn't know the principle behind it, if it happened to Tang Xian, it didn't seem strange.
As for Tang Xian's plan, was it sowhat like a strategy following the law of large numbers, where a lucky king relies on miracles while an unlucky one relies on quantity?
She had noticed earlier that the myriad beasts recorded in Tang Xian's notebook were arranged in a specific order.
For example, below the Lei Xiao were creatures like the Golden Fire Bird, Night Eagle, Golden Armored Leopard, and so on.
And below the Titan Behemoth were the Zudun Giant, Gem Sperm Whale, Mountain River Beast, and so on.
She opened the notebook again and looked carefully, realizing that Tang Xian had indeed categorized these creatures into several classifications.
Beasts in the sa category had so similar traits.
Either they possessed imnse strength, or they had speed that was difficult for anyone to react to.
Or they had terrifying telekinetic manipulation, strong elental control, and so on.
In short, strength, speed, and psionics: three categories.
Knowing that Ju Mang had noticed this, Tang Xian continued,
"You should do the sa and categorize these myriad beasts. I want to see it done by tomorrow."
Ju Mang didn't mind being ordered around, she simply asked,
"If you really can get the special extract you ntioned, can you beco very strong?"
She was most curious about this. Although she knew Eden bloodlines were peculiar, could soone really enhance their strength, speed, psionics, and other attributes so easily?
"Bai Lu was right in saying strength has no weak points. I am not strong enough yet, but if I'm lucky, I could quickly resolve the issues inside the Pyramid," Tang Xian replied.
Akasi, upon hearing these words, felt envious because becoming stronger for soone like him was a very difficult task.
Tang Xian seed to have so shortcuts.
"So of these myriad beasts are even more dangerous than Angel Envoys," Ju Mang said.
"That's why I need to bring a few helpers."
"Hmph, it looks like you still need the help of the great ," Tang said confidently.
"This ti I won't bring you, and Qing JiuYu can't go either," Tang Xian stated.
Tang Feiji and Qing JiuYu were both taken aback.
"Why?"
Qing JiuYu still wanted to go back and see the mining area.
Tang Xian didn't answer the question but continued,
"Yuan Wu, Tang Xiaojiu will go with , and Bai Mansheng will provide support in the mining area; she is very strong now."
Yuan Wu had no objections, he did as Tang Xian said, even though he didn't understand why he was chosen as he considered himself the weakest among them.
"You're leaving aside, the great , to bring that snake?" Tang Feiji objected.
Qing JiuYu added,
"Xiao Ni is still young. If you are going to take her, I need to follow."
Tang Xian knew Qing JiuYu was concerned but did not change his mind,
"Whether Baichuan City is in danger, I'm not sure, but with you two in charge there, I can be at ease. With Akasi around, ssages can be passed imdiately."
Li Xiaoyu, watching Tang Xian's earnest expression, knew he had made up his mind.
"The mining area is also a world where fairness and reason prevail. The Mountain River Beast court is powerful, and your punch is weak, which is why the Fox Clan has abandoned you and turned to the myriad beasts.
Tang Xiaojiu is the future Fox Clan queen, and if she wants to reclaim what rightfully belongs to her, she must beco much stronger."
