Pet Simulator Novel - Chapter 122

“Huh?” Shen Xue was stunned, “You’re telling me that you’re a support-type beastmaster? Wasn’t you the one who unleashed that explosive punch just now?”

“My talent is Deep Memory. Didn’t I tell you that by the Ziluo River?” Wang Ye said casually.

“…” Shen Xue.

She had been too hasty.

“This is too strange…” Shen Xue couldn’t figure it out. Then, she seemed to have thought of something, “You’re an investigator?”

“Sort of.”

“No wonder…” Shen Xue heaved a sigh of relief, “That’s fine then. Investigators and the beastmaster universities are two different systems. Even if Mo Kai wants to cause trouble for you, he wouldn’t be able to get his hands in the Investigation Corps. I feel that life as an investigator is still better. Even though it’s a dangerous life, you wouldn’t have to endure the shit of others that much. It’s a pity that I don’t have the courage.”

She showed a self-deprecating smile.

Wang Ye muttered in his heart that most beastmasters with families and children would rarely choose to become investigators.

In this society, many beastmasters had their own families. Being an elite beastmaster in the universities would give one a better salary than being an investigator, and it would also be much safer.

…

Not everyone was like Wang Ye, who could use simulations to obtain information about the treasures in the secret realms and look for opportunities.

Most investigators were actually living average lives.

Occasionally, if they were lucky, they would be able to find treasures in the secret realms and relics and make a fortune.

Of course, the advantage of being an investigator was that they were alone, so they had nothing to fear.

In addition, due to the fact that most investigators often went to various secret realms and relics and fought with many fierce beasts and strange supreme-rulers, they were usually extremely murderous and ruthless.

If one dared to provoke them, then sorry, but they’ll just go all out.

It didn’t matter if the other party was the offspring of a large family, the elite of a university, a tycoon, or something like that.

After all, they were already putting their lives on the line as investigators. Would they be afraid of death?

The Investigation Corps could be considered one of its kind in Dongli Country’s organizational system.

Most beastmasters were unwilling to provoke the investigators.

Moreover, due to the relationship between the relic and the secret realms with the investigators, most would choose to build friendly relationships with the investigators. They would avoid falling out with the investigators as best they could.

The prerequisite was that the investigator had to have a certain status in the Investigation Corps and be strong enough.

Only then could the investigator be able to obtain more information about the secret realms and relics.

“Being in a university has its benefits,” Wang Ye glanced at Shen Xue, “We are all working for the country. It is only a given that we investigators wouldn’t tolerate anyone who breaks the rules, regardless of whether they’re foreigners or not.”

Shen Xue nodded heavily, “I’ll be leaving first. I’ve trained enough this time. Since you’re so amazing, you should join the Qixing Investigation Corps. It’s the best Investigation Corps in Xinghai Province. Ordinary beastmasters would be rejected even if they wanted to join. They won’t even give those people a chance to risk their lives for them.”

Wang Ye smiled but didn’t reply.

Qixing Investigation Corps was indeed deeply rooted in Xinghai Province.

There were seven main cities in Xinghai Province, and Qixing Investigation Corps had a certain meaning.

“It’s about time. We should leave too,” Wang Ye glanced at the sword rabbit.

“Roar!” In the distance, the thunderstorm king lion cubs ran over like little kittens and affectionately rubbed against Wang Ye’s thigh.

“I’m leaving,” Wang Ye looked at the cubs and patted them.

If he had sufficient resources, he would definitely raise one.

However, he didn’t.

He still had two little ancestors at home, and he didn’t have much money left.

The sword rabbit was still affordable. After all, it was only a Transcendent class pet, and he still had the simulator.

On the other hand, he simply couldn’t afford to raise such cubs that were born Supreme or even Emperor classes. They were indeed strong and indeed had high upper limits, but were too expensive to nurture.

The resources of Dongli Country were scarce. With the erosion of the dark fog, the resources were minimal.

It was the same in several large provinces.

Let alone other things, just the food.

If one wanted to raise their pets well, the food had to be good food. Emperor class pets had to eat better, otherwise, their potential growth would be limited.

Then they might as well raise Transcendent-class pets.

Xiao Jiu was now an Emperor class pet, and it was d*mn expensive to raise.

The food it ate was no longer the spirit tassel rice from before.

Of course, it wasn’t that it couldn’t eat spirit tassel rice. It was just that if it ate that too much, it wouldn’t be able to display its six-dimensional growth at all.

Rather, the grades of its six dimensions might even decrease.

Just look at the leaders of the wild pet races, like the bear king. It was at level 4 but look at its weak-ass stats…

One could roughly see the difference between a wild pet and a contracted pet.

“Roar?” The bear king glanced at Wang Ye.

“Ahem, it’s nothing,” Wang Ye waved his hand.

At this moment, the lioness walked over from afar. It held a thin horn in its mouth and threw it in front of Wang Ye.

“What is this?” Wang Ye was a little puzzled.

He searched about it.

[Thunderstorm Horn: When the thunderstorm king lion incubates its eggs, the horn on its forehead will temporarily fall off, becoming a unique attributed secret treasure. This secret treasure can change a pet’s attributes to a certain extent, allowing the pet to cultivate the thunder vein and have the thunder attribute.]

A treasure.

“…” Wang Ye hesitated.

Not only was this a treasure, but it was also very rare. It wasn’t even on the market.

The lioness kicked the horn to Wang Ye, then took her reluctant cubs with her and walked back into the forest.

Seeing this, Wang Ye picked the horn up and put it away.

It was just a secret treasure. It was, after all, a token of gratitude from the lioness.

“Let’s go,” Wang Ye carried the sword rabbit and went down the mountain with the bear king.

“The special training ends here,” He bade farewell to the bear king and began his return.

The bear king sent Wang Ye off all the way to the exit of Liefeng Valley. Looking at the back of the man and the rabbit, it let out loud cries, telling Wang Ye to bring the sword rabbit back for a visit whenever he was free.

The sword rabbit waved its little hand at the bear king, seeming somewhat reluctant to part. As it did so, it fell asleep on Wang Ye’s shoulder.

—

Three days passed in the blink of an eye in the outer base of Tianxian Gorge.

When Lin Rou saw Wang Ye come out, and her eyes lit up, “Not bad, this special training should’ve been very effective for you!”

“Commander, you can tell?”

“You must be joking!” Lin Rou clenched her bandaged fist, revealing the muscular biceps on her arm, “What rank of investigator am I? My battle instincts tell me that you are quite strong now. How was it? How was the special training?”

“Those two pets of yours have been restless for the past three days. I heard that they fought whenever they had nothing to do. Fortunately, investigators from our division had been watching over them. Otherwise, they would have torn down your apartment.”

“…” Wang Ye.

Those two seriously only had a plastic sisterhood.

He had only been gone for three days.

Wang Ye briefly explained the situation.

As for the matter with Mo Kai, he only said that he had defeated the other party together with the bear king and the thunderstorm lion king on Tianxian Mountain.

“Mo Kai, Qixing University? Tch, if I had met such trash, It’s my defeat if he can make it down the mountain alive,” Lin Rou laughed coldly, “Daying Country, an animal-like existence. It’s disgusting to just mention them. However, to think you were able to team up with the thunderstorm king lion to defeat him…”

Lin Rou sized him up and nodded in satisfaction, “Very good. We investigators shouldn’t be too weak. Even as a supporting aide, you shouldn’t be too weak either.”

“Come one then, let’s go back. On the way, I’ll tell you about the process of the class assessment and the Hidden Mysterious Realm that you’ll be going to next time.”

“Speaking of which, you’ve met the thunderstorm king lion, hh. I’ve been to Tianxian Gorge many times, but I’ve only seen it a handful of times. To think it has cubs now. Unfortunately, if you were lucky enough, it would be great if you could get that thunderstorm horn.”

Wang Ye was stunned. He didn’t say too much just now.

After all, it was enough that he himself knew what treasures he had obtained.

“Isn’t that thing just an attributed secret treasure?” Wang Ye coughed.

“It’s no simple attributed secret treasure,” Lin Rou laughed, “If resources are graded, then that would be an emperor-grade attributed secret treasure. it’s extremely difficult to obtain. Only within half a month after the thunderstorm king lion gives birth, will there be a chance to obtain it.”

“Most beastmasters don’t know much about it. They only know that it comes from the thunderstorm king lion, but they don’t know how it came about. It falls off after the thunderstorm king lion gives birth. However, within a week or two weeks, the thunderstorm king lion will once again insert the horn back into its forehead, fusing back into one with the horn. The lion’s strength will gradually recover by then. Forcefully removing the horn will have no effect. Moreover, once it loses the horn, both the strength and the class of the thunderstorm king lion will drop, and it will never be able to recover its previous strength.”

“…” Wang Ye.

“Most beastmasters don’t know about these things. Think about it. The item can allow a pet to cultivate the thunder vein, change its attributes, and cultivate new skills. How rare should it be? Do you think there are any on the market right now?” Lin Rou shook her head, “But judging from the situation that you have stated, in consideration with the time, the thunderstorm king lion should have already inserted the horn back into its body, and its strength is gradually recovering. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been able to make a move.”

So the horn was so difficult to get?

Wait, if that was the case…

Wang Ye’s heart moved. Mo Kai seemed to be aiming to take away the rare cub, but was his real target the horn?

After returning to Anping County, Wang Ye first went to the pet center to check the sword rabbit’s attributes.

It was out of his expectations.

[Pet: Sword Rabbit]

[Type: Rabbit normal-type pet]

[Race Class: Transcendent Second-class]

[Combat Power: 4-star Level 1]

[Skill: Slumber (proficient)]

[Six-dimensional Growth: Strength (E+), Constitution (E), Agility (D+), Spiritual Resistance (E), Spiritual Energy (D), Soul (D)]

[Genetic CharacteristicS: ??? (gray), ??? (black)]

[Spiritual Energy Value: 300]

A gray characteristic and a black characteristic?

Both couldn’t be detected.

It could only be sensed after the contract then.

“Gray means it’s a negative characteristic. Could it be related to the lethargy of the sword rabbit? Black means it’s a mutated characteristic.”

Mutated characteristics were extremely rare. They were like double-edged swords such that they were often very strong, but they also had extremely serious consequences.

“The rest is normal. Its six dimensions are okay, much more powerful than the white python back then. Slumber, though. This is an advanced soul-type skill. And it’s in the proficient realm… It can’t be that it’s been sleeping since it was born?” Wang Ye was stunned.

Was it reasonable that a Transcendent class pet brought with it a proficient realm skill?

And it was an advanced soul-type skill at that!

This was something that unimaginable even to Xiao Jiu back then…

[Slumber (proficient): Your body and mind will recover at an extremely fast speed through sleep. You will not be able to wake up easily. When you cultivate the skill to the highest realm, you will be able to create a unique space of consciousness that is extremely profound.]

Advanced skills were very powerful.

Advanced soul-type skills were even more so.

“Something is wrong,” Wang Ye could feel that something was off, very off.

A proficient realm advanced skill. Back then, supreme-ruler knows how many years Xiao Jiu had spent in the scripted simulation to get such a skill to such a realm.

The sword rabbit, logically speaking, should be at most one year old.

Yet it could already cultivate an advanced skill to such a realm?

Xiao Jiu might as well commit suicide with a noodle.

“Could it be an inheritance from its father?” Wang Ye pondered.

Wild pets could pass down skills from father to son, though the realm of the skills passed down would be reduced.

Other than that, it could only be because of the characteristics.

Or, it could be a true genius.

Wang Ye looked at the sword rabbit, and the sword rabbit also looked at Wang Ye.

“Forget it, let’s go back first,” Wang Ye brought the sword rabbit back to the apartment.

When he entered the door, he saw Xiao Jiu stepping on the white python while the white python’s tail was wrapped around Xiao Jiu’s neck.

“Chirp!”

“Huji!”

When the two pets saw the door open, they instantly smelled a familiar scent. They immediately ran over excitedly, wanting to pounce on Wang Ye.

Then… They saw the sword rabbit on him.

Instantly, Xiao Jiu and the white python froze…

He went out and even brought back a new pet?
