Chapter 25: 【Building Lion】

Chen Mo returned to the lion pride and briefly informed Xiong Ba and Aisha.

"Roar!" (I'm going out for a trip, about half a day. If we discover any other human convoys, you lead the lion pride to retreat.) Similar to the hunting squads led by the fat commander, there are still more than twenty. At this stage he doesn't want to expose himself to human sight.

Obscene development, don't slack off! "Roar~"

Aisha rubbed against Chen Mo's head, wanting to go with him, but was refused.

"Roar!"

(Stay here and protect the lion pride's safety. If those two humans try to flee or act strangely, kill them directly!)

After giving the instructions, he had Black Guy start the car and set off.

On the way, Chen Mo glanced at the self-discipline panel.

【Roaring Lion】 (821/1000) (6/7)

Today is the final day of the 【Roaring Lion】 self-discipline challenge; he still needs 179 roars to earn the title!

Thus Chen Mo started running while roaring all the way.

Hearing the deafening lion roars beside him, Sang Qi, who was driving alongside, felt drenched in sweat.

No, is this lion king sick?

Insisting on running while shouting, he almost scared a heart attack out of him.

Fortunately, after approaching the town, the lion king seemed worried about being discovered by humans and finally stopped his maniacal roaring.

The 【Roaring Lion】 self-discipline challenge is complete; equip the title?

The self-discipline panel popped up with light blue text.

Chen Mo suppressed the urge to test it, lest the lion's roar be too powerful and kill Black Guy outright.

Better to wait until he returns and try it on other supernatural beings!

Chen Mo looked at the panel at another newly refreshed self-discipline challenge—

【Building Lion】 (green)

Each day build a lion den of over ten square meters that can house a family of three, for one month.

Seeing this self-discipline challenge, Chen Mo's mouth twitched.

In his previous life he was a civil engineering major, and one of his future career paths was to be a builder.

Never expected to be reborn as a lion and still have to build houses…

However, this self-discipline challenge is still somewhat difficult for Chen Mo now; he's on the Grass Snow Plain, and to build a den he can only dig pits.

Moreover, this appears to be a lifestyle-oriented title; its effect might relate to house building and won't substantially help Chen Mo's combat power.

Plus, it's a green challenge requiring a month of self-discipline—too long a duration.

"Let's see if we can finish the 【Fat Otaku Happy Lion】 first!"

——————————

All went smoothly; during the trip Chen Mo spotted several supernatural beings with his keen eyesight, but since the mission was urgent he didn't go hunting.

"Roar!"

When they were about 500 meters from the supermarket, Chen Mo had Black Guy stop the car.

He approached Sang Qi and controlled Black Guy's right hand to type a line on the screen—

【You go buy, I'll wait here.】

Chen Mo's current build and appearance are too distinctive; if he appeared in human sight, it would surely cause a huge commotion. He doesn't want to draw attention, so he can only have Black Guy help.

【Besides milk and cola, you can also buy any food or daily supplies you want.】

Chen Mo typed again.

"Thank you, Lion King Sir."

【Don't play smart】

"Roar!" (Xiao Bai, follow him.) With the roar, a white figure darted out beside Chen Mo—its fur pure white, looking cute and clumsy, exactly the white mouse.

Before setting off, the little critter also came along.

Thinking of its agility maxing at 11 points, Chen Mo agreed; now he can just "supervise" Black Guy to prevent escape or relay messages. "Lion King Sir, I'm going to buy things?"

Sang Qi asked softly.

"Roar!"

Chen Mo nodded.

Possibly due to the weather or the Great Snow Mountain illusion, there were few people around the supermarket.

Chen Mo's icy-blue eyes stared fixedly at Black Guy as he entered the supermarket.

Although after entering the supermarket Chen Mo couldn't see his figure, he could see the attribute panel showing Black Guy's combined combat power of 2 beside him.

So if Black Guy showed any sign of fleeing, Chen Mo would notice immediately.

Actually letting Black Guy go buy cola and milk alone carries some risk.

If he took the opportunity to blend into the crowd and flee or leave the supermarket premises, Chen Mo would have no choice but to chase him down and kill him.

Although doing so would likewise expose him to human sight, Chen Mo will never let a traitor go!

In that case he could only randomly grab a passerby to help drive and bring the cola and milk back to the lion pride.

Twenty bottles a day for thirty days, Chen Mo needs to prepare at least six hundred bottles of cola.

With that amount of cola, a lone lion couldn't carry it back.

Chen Mo's lion eyes stared fixedly at the attribute panel.

All he can do now is hope Black Guy behaves himself.

Fortunately, Black Guy's attribute panel remained inside the supermarket.

About ten minutes later.

He began moving box after box of cola and milk into the car, only stopping when the trunk and rear seats were packed full.

Besides that, the black guy also bought some clothing and daily necessities for three people; he should have realized the Lion King wouldn't let them leave.

What Chen Mo didn't expect was—

He even bought a foldable grill and lots of seasonings! Soon he drove the off-road vehicle back to the snowy plain and returned to Chen Mo's side.

"Lion King sir, I've emptied the supermarket's cola, but I'm still short three cases. However, I bought a grill and seasonings; back there I can let you taste grilled meat."

The black guy, having failed to complete the task, spoke somewhat nervously.

The enormous Frost Lion King before him brought him unparalleled pressure.

【It's fine, go back】

Chen Mo wrote four big characters in the snow.

Juan Mao's brought-back cola came in 24-bottle cases, which was enough in quantity.

Chen Mo had him bring thirty cases, just in case of accidents.

Seeing the cola piled high, Chen Mo felt utterly reassured.

Returning to the lion pride, Chen Mo grabbed a cola, held it above his mouth, and directly squeezed it until it burst.

Such canned cola, in the Lion King's hand, was like a small vial of oral liquid—one gulp emptied a bottle.

Bubbles rose.

Actually, to a lion's taste, cola's flavor is quite ordinary, but the icy cold bubbles still let Chen Mo experience a long-missed taste.

Chen Mo downed ten bottles of cola in one go, completing half a day's self-discipline.

Because of the existence of the Glutton Lion, he also didn't have to worry about problems like osteoporosis or excessive sugar intake.

The other lions in the pride, seeing the Lion King return after a trip with many boxes of blue-bottled strange water, looked somewhat curious.

The Ice Crystal Mouse beside him also stared unblinking at the cola in front of Chen Mo.

Seeing that, Chen Mo directly placed a bottle of cola in front of the Ice Crystal Mouse.

In this cola‑purchasing operation, Xiao Bai supervised the black guy, also contributing his share.

"Squeak?" (Lion King sir, are you really giving it to me?) The Ice Crystal Mouse widened its eyes, seeming unable to believe the Lion King would give the blue‑bottled soda to itself.

Although it felt no trace of ice spiritual power in this blue‑bottled soda, the Lion King sir, having risked so much to go to the human world and bring this back, must be very precious, right? (End of chapter)
