Chapter 12

11. Little Wild Cat

Li Ang clearly felt his heartbeat speed up.

The possibility shown by the system taming monsters made him shiver all over. This is a reaction of excitement.

The most intuitive improvement is that the low-rank monsters he tames are naturally better than the monsters subdued by others using mind suppression, and they have more combat wisdom.

Mind suppression has a probability of making summon beasts forget how to use special attacks, so in the summon beast market, the distinction between good and inferior products often depends on this.

Just this item alone is super worth it.

He swiped a few more times on the summon beast panel in the system. In addition to the opened taming function, there are "Strengthening" and "Breeding Ground Construction."

【Summon Beast Strengthening: After taming a summon beast, the strengthening route will be displayed. The master needs to collect corresponding food and materials to assist the summon beast in growing and becoming stronger】

【Breeding Ground Construction: Choose a suitable venue, arrange construction materials according to the plan, and build a living space for summon beasts to rest and be self-sufficient】

Li Ang took a rough look. Breeding grounds are also divided into levels. The lowest ones can be built with less precious materials, while the highest level is to directly open up a dimensional space, which is a separate small world inside, capable of holding many monsters.

Of course, if he chooses a venue, he thinks it is best to be on the first base of the Sky Knight team: the team airship, so that no matter where the team goes, he basically doesn't have to worry about the summon beast following.

Thinking of this, the train of thought turned to how to get an airship.

The system popped up the airship panel again, and Li Ang closed it directly.

He had stood in place for a while. Zoey next to him was curious why he was in a daze and began to reach out and poke him.

If you look at the various panels of the system carefully, you won't be able to finish them until the sun goes down.

Li Ang put away the Wyvern egg and bent down to collect the remaining iron ore.

He didn't intend to tame the Wyvern for the time being. Even with the help of the system, this kind of monster is still too low-rank.

And it won't grow into combat power immediately. Before that, feeding and looking after it will take a huge amount of energy. Before transmigrating, he raised a cat until he was exhausted. He understands this kind of thing very well.

Moreover, if he is discovered by someone he knows that he is carrying a Wyvern as a summon beast now, he will really be laughed at.

After loading, Li Ang carried the basket full of iron ore and Wyvern materials on his back and walked directly toward the village on Satutus Island.

Zoey followed on the side, holding a few colorful stones in her hand and looking at them. Those were fine crystal fragments that fell out when the rock bed disintegrated. Her cheeks were red, and she liked them very much.

The scenery along the way was monotonous. Going to the village requires crossing the middle of the island. The flat grass here has long been a familiar scenery for both of them.

Zoey seemed to be bored. After putting the stones in her pocket, she took the Wind-Breath Sword and waved it.

Her exquisite face was originally expressionless, but gradually, as if thinking of something, a smile appeared, and her body followed, appearing in front of Li Ang's diagonal front.

Seeing her posture of blocking him, he secretly said it was bad.

Just now, there were many things, and he forgot to take the sword from her.

"I saw you use magic, you can create water, you can break stones, magic is really powerful."

"Hmm."

"But you seem to need to use something, or touch it directly with your hand. Does that mean if you don't do this, magic can't be used?"

"..."

She discovered the characteristics of a spellcaster.

Even if it is other spellcasting professions, they also like to rely on media to cast spells, but they usually use things like magic wands and staves, and don't always rely on spellcasting materials.

And a spellcaster either needs spellcasting materials to cast spells, or communicates with the spirits in things.

This rule was discovered by Zoey. Her observation ability is not bad.

"I know the rules of magic, so—"

Zoey took two jumps and came to the front of Li Ang.

"Let's duel again. This time I will definitely be able to dodge your magic. I thought about it, I have a move."

Li Ang would not doubt her agility, but she could not defeat a Rank 9 professional who had been through many battles. The point of the matter is not whether to confront or not.

"Give me your sword, don't talk about this again."

"Yeah, the sword is just returned to me temporarily."

Zoey's interest was reduced by half. She held the hilt, and her hand reached halfway and fell into hesitation.

She held back for a while and said in a low voice: "I know the truth, if you lose the duel, you have to lose things. My candy was also won from others."

This guy is still a child king. Whether the candy was won or snatched, Li Ang couldn't say.

"This sword was left by my dad, I have always cherished it... I know it was lost by myself, so, can I exchange it with other things?"

Li Ang looked at her serious eyes and sighed.

"You got the key wrong. I'm not coveting your sword, I want you to understand that you have to pay a price for casual dueling. Moreover, you don't have anything."

"I really don't know what I have that you like. Li Ang, you can say it, as long as I have it, I can give you anything."

Li Ang looked at the innocence on the girl's beautiful face and reached out.

"Ouch, it hurts!"

He couldn't help but flick her forehead hard.

"Don't talk like this. If you say this kind of thing, bad people will easily take advantage of it."

"Wh, what do you mean? I saw it in those books Mom left."

The girl covered her forehead with both hands and looked at Li Ang aggrievedly.

"You will know later."

Li Ang suddenly understood some parents' feelings. Sometimes it's not that there is no willingness to communicate, but there is really no way to start.

"Can't exchange with things, then I can only duel with you."

"Forget it, I'll spend some effort to explain to you clearly why you can't duel—"

"Duel, duel."

"..."

Li Ang started to have a headache.

"Are you afraid? Are you afraid?"

"..."

"Obviously older than me, but afraid to compare with me, really a small fry~ small fry~ soft and weak~"

"Hey!"

Li Ang hallucinated that the blue veins on his forehead jumped. He glared at Zoey and saw the cunning flash in the corner of the girl's eyes.

This brat!

She is not stupid. She knows that Li Ang is unwilling to duel for some reason. She also knows that what she is doing might be wrong, but she is still deliberately playing rogue.

Before, she ran away once she was startled, making Li Ang think she was a frightened little deer. Maybe it's because she slowly got to know Li Ang now, and she has a bit of fearlessness. Perhaps a wild cat that is sometimes gentle and sometimes shows claws is her true nature.

"Where did you learn these words?"

"The books Mom left, sometimes, you have to be like this, this is called provocation."

This is a fart provocation.

Zoey's mother, this lady I haven't met, you are really something.

Alas, world protagonist... I haven't seen any formal plot storms yet, and I already have a big head. I haven't provoked her once, should I run away quickly?

Li Ang covered his face, but saw Zoey raise her chin through his fingers, pointing with the tip of her sword, giggling.

This personality, it should be corrected.
