Chapter 56 Subduing Little Black
Shen Yaoxing's eyes widened, looking incredibly cute, and she asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
"After all, that night, Miss Bai Lu snatched that swamp monster cub from the He family of Jizhou. She must have been planning to give it to me when my affinity with living beings reached 50, right?"
"You're pretty smart, aren't you!"
Lu Youhe tilted his head, not understanding what they were saying, but he roughly understood that the virtual beasts here were snatched from others by the young lady and her brother.
Shen Yaoxing asked, "How about it? Do you want to try taming it? The Swamp Mud Monster is a very powerful Bronze-level Void Beast!"
For those who are not beast tamers, it is rare to tame virtual beasts.
Because by the time the affinity attribute for living beings reaches dozens, other attributes will already be in the thousands, or even tens of thousands. In battles of that level, if you release a mud monster, it won't even qualify as cannon fodder.
Moreover, this thing occupies a skill slot. A Black Iron-level Void Beast occupies one skill slot, a Bronze-level one occupies two, and so on.
However, Lu Ren doesn't have this limitation. First, he has unlimited skill slots, and second, although his affinity with living beings isn't very high, it's definitely enough.
Among bronze-level Void Beasts, the Swamp Mud Monster is definitely not weak; in fact, it's quite strong.
A fully grown swamp monster can rival a squad from the Candle Illumination Realm. Its physique is over 200 cm taller than Lu Ren's. The explosive power of the swamp gas it releases is no less than that of a 10 kg TNT explosion. Its swamp mist is a bronze-level divine skill, similar to a decision card.
Moreover, once he breaks through to the Flame Realm, his affinity with living beings will reach 500 to 1000, and he can also upgrade the Bronze-level Swamp Mud Monster to Silver-level.
"I'll give it a try."
Lu Ren took the Beast Taming Ring from Lu Youhe and put it on his finger, saying, "However, my current Spirit Affinity is only 50 points. Taming a Void Beast of the Swamp Mud Monster's level might take some time... Huh? You succeeded?"
"real!"
"So fast?!"
The two people standing nearby looked surprised.
Lu Ren was also surprised. Right after he received the Beast Taming Ring, he easily established a connection with the Swamp Mud Monster inside and signed a contract.
Just like when he was learning a skill, he succeeded immediately without any resistance.
Could it be that learning skills from him is as unrestricted as taming virtual beasts on your own?
So, does this mean I can build a Void Beast Legion and go straight for a mass army strategy?
That doesn't seem very realistic. Although he doesn't have the limitation of skill slots, he only has so many creature affinity attributes. If he contracts too many virtual beasts, he can't guarantee the strength of his beast taming. It would be pointless to release a bunch of useless creatures when fighting people.
Lu Youhe shook his arm, "Lu Ren, quickly let him out and take a look."
"Yeah, yeah, take a look!"
"Okay, please move aside a bit."
The next second, a white light flashed on the ring on his right index finger, and a large black cat, slightly larger than a large dog, appeared on the ground, with a round head and a very cute appearance.
It's grown so big in just over a week. Perhaps it won't be long before it grows into a terrifying two-meter-tall predator like its parents.
The big cat seemed to know what was going on. It wasn't panicked at all after coming out. It circled around Lu Ren's trouser leg and then rubbed its head against his trouser leg to show its affection.
Lu Youhe's eyes sparkled. "So cute! Why would such an adorable little animal be called something as awful as 'Swamp Mud Monster'?"
Lu Ren chuckled and said with amusement, "A cute little animal? This is the terrifying void beast that drove your brother to the brink of despair."
"Really? Really?"
Lu Youhe tried to touch the big black cat, but the swamp monster immediately bristled, shrank next to Lu Ren, and then activated its spinal dragon form, breathing on Lu Youhe.
"Ha ha--!!"
Lu Ren punched it on the head, and it immediately started whimpering, scratching its head with its little paws, looking pitiful.
Lu Youhe and Shen Yaoxing chuckled as they squatted down and carefully tried to amuse the little guy with something.
"I also brought beef jerky, Youhe, why don't you feed it some?"
"That was originally meant for me, wasn't it?"
"I...I don't dare, please feed me, sister."
"I don't dare either, I'm afraid it will bite me."
Shen Yaoxing looked up: "Lu Ren, should we name this little guy?"
Lu Ren said somewhat helplessly, "You guys can name it. You can try feeding it if you want. It won't attack people without my command, it just looks a bit fierce."
Lu Youhe raised his hand: "I'll feed them! I'll feed them!"
Little Shen Yaoxing also raised her hand: "I want to be fed too!"
Just then, the classroom door was suddenly pushed open: "Lu Ren, You He, are you still studying? It's already very late..."
It was Granny Li who came in. Lu Ren was so engrossed in playing with the cat that he didn't notice anyone approaching.
He turned around and saw a miraculous scene.
The young lady who had just been squatting on the ground feeding the cat like a child suddenly appeared to the side, instantly transforming from her hamster form into the elegant and perfect young lady with a serene smile on her face.
Granny Li exclaimed in surprise, "Oh? Miss Yaoxing is back. Why are you at the school so late?"
"Good evening, Madam Fu. I went out for a while, and Yaoxing had some thoughts on some topics, so she wanted to come to the school to review them."
"It's late and the lights are dim. Staring at the screen for too long is bad for your health. Miss, you should rest early as well."
"Thank you for your concern, Madam. Please go and rest now. The night is cold and the dew is heavy, so please remember to wear warm clothes when you go on night patrol."
Lu Ren and his sister's gaze shifted back and forth between Granny Li and Shen Yaoxing.
Neither of them could understand that the Shen Yaoxing who had just been laughing foolishly while teasing the cat was the same person who was now dignified, quiet, and exuding the air of a noble family.
Granny Li performed a curtsy and then left the school.
Lu Ren and his sister watched her leave, but when they turned around, the dignified young lady had vanished again.
Only a chibi-style figure remained in place.
The chibi-style character wiped his forehead, his round face beaming, and said, "That was close, wasn't it?"
What? Right? Who's right with you? And why has your voice changed? It went from a mature woman's voice to a child's voice!
"Yuhe, shall we feed Xiaohei together?"
"..." Who is Xiao Hei? Oh, it must be his newly adopted cat.
"OK!"
Lu Youhe went over happily. She liked Shen Yaoxing, who was like a little hamster, and she was super cute!
Lu Ren watched the two of them feeding the cat and couldn't help but smile. After playing with the young lady for half an hour, the brother and sister took her back to her bedroom and then went back to their residence together.
"Lu Ren, what do you plan to do in two weeks?"
"What? What should we do?"
"Chen Zui, are you confident about the assessment?"
"Absolutely, don't worry about it, it's guaranteed to pass."
Especially the experience of sparring with that supporting actor in the afternoon, a sword fight, made him feel like he had taken a big step forward.
"You're bragging again. He's practically beaten your head to a pulp today."
"Your brother got beaten to a pulp, and you just stood by and watched?"
"I can't beat him either."
"Don't you have a gun? Why don't you shoot him with a sniper rifle?"
Lu Youhe pouted: "I don't care, you can't lose to him in two weeks. This guy is so annoying. Why is he always targeting you? And I don't want to be fired. Miss is so cute."
"Only at night."
"You admit that the young lady is cute?"
"She is cute, why won't you admit it?"
Being so frank, Lu Youhe was a little unsure how to put it.
After a while, she tentatively asked, "Sister Yaoxing is a serious person, and you think about a lot of things during the day. But isn't your true nature at night?"
"Maybe."
"She told me that she can only relax in front of people she intuitively chose, and that's you, Lu Ren. Do you think... the young lady might like you?"
"That's impossible."
"Who do you think is cutest: Xiaoying, Sister Ali, or the young lady?"
Lu Ren was playing his handheld game while walking, but in the midst of his busy schedule, he took out one hand and slapped her on the back of the head, making her stumble.
"You hit me again!"
The silly little sister got angry after being yawned, and walked behind Lu Ren, raising her hand like the gate barrier at the entrance of the community, and kept hitting his head all the way.
