Chapter 115: The Birth of the Strongest Pet!
Chapter 115: The Birth of the Strongest Pet!
“Is there really no other way?” Chen Mo asked, unwilling to give up.
“As far as I know, no. You should just give up! You will keep getting stronger, but it will stay the same. If you don’t release it, it will just become your burden sooner or later.” Selena shook her head. The rules were what they were, and at least she didn’t know if there was another way.
“How could it become my burden?” Chen Mo felt this wasn’t right. Keeping Big Fatty around to act cute once in a while was nice, and maybe one day it would be useful.
“Two tigers cannot share one mountain. With it around, no other powerful monster will ever become your pet!” Selena glanced at Chen Mo.
There was such a rule?
Chen Mo was shocked. According to Selena, he could only have one boss-level pet at most. If he already had one boss pet, he wouldn’t be able to catch another?
If that was the case… Chen Mo looked at Big Fatty, who was staring at him and Selena with innocent black eyes, its chubby body twitching slightly.
“The issue with the Flower Demon Battle Spirit isn’t a big problem, but even if you make it stop resisting, it won’t change the outcome. Whether you let it go or not is your decision. But if you do decide to release it, you should get a Soul Release Contract Scroll. Otherwise, if you release it, it will forget everything because of the contract—forget you, forget all the combat experience it gained while following you, and even the Flower Demon Battle Spirit might leave.” Selena patted Big Fatty’s head, a faint trace of nostalgia in her expression, as if recalling something from the past.
Chen Mo left with Big Fatty, feeling very conflicted. He had originally come to solve the Flower Demon Battle Spirit issue but ended up receiving unexpected and shocking news.
Big Fatty’s level still couldn’t keep up. If he didn’t release Big Fatty, he wouldn’t be able to catch Cecilia. No matter how he thought about it, he had to release Big Fatty.
Chen Mo didn’t put Big Fatty away. Big Fatty hopped and skipped along behind him.
Selena lived close to Shadow Main City, and there were many low-level players nearby. Many new players couldn’t help but stare at Big Fatty.
Big Fatty ignored their looks completely, faithfully following Chen Mo.
As Chen Mo walked into Shadow Main City with Big Fatty, they attracted countless envious glances from players along the way.
Chen Mo entered the Hunter Guild and found Alchi. Before leaving, Selena told him that if he wanted a Soul Release Contract Scroll, he should go to the Hunter Profession Guild and find Alchi.
“You want a Soul Release Contract Scroll? To break the contract with this little guy?” Alchi looked Chen Mo up and down with a strange expression.
“Yes.” Chen Mo nodded.
“Hmph! Lucky guy.” Alchi muttered under his breath and handed an ancient scroll to Chen Mo.
System Notification: You obtained a “Soul Release Contract Scroll”!
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to make things difficult for this guy he disliked, but the Hunter Profession Guild rules stated that the first hunter who wanted a Soul Release Contract Scroll and whose pet met the conditions could directly receive one.
Ordinary people definitely couldn’t get the scroll, but this annoying guy’s pet just happened to meet the conditions. He had no choice but to give it to him.
Rarity condition met! Favorability condition met! Pet displayed independence!
…
In the wilderness outside Shadow City, Chen Mo sat with Big Fatty on a large exposed tree root.
Although it hadn’t been long, when it came time to let it go, Chen Mo realized he was a bit reluctant.
However, he ultimately decided to break the contract with Big Fatty and set it free.
Not only that, Chen Mo also took out several pet skill books.
“Little guy, when you become awesome in the future, don’t forget how good I was to you.”
System Notification: Your pet Big Fatty learned the skill “Heavy Blow”!
System Notification: Your pet Big Fatty learned the skill “Critical Strike”!
System Notification: Your pet Big Fatty learned the skill “Extreme Speed”!
System Notification: Your pet Big Fatty learned the skill “Hurricane”!
System Notification: Your pet Big Fatty learned the skill “Skin Hardening”!
Chen Mo murmured as the pet skill books in his hands disappeared one by one.
Red lights rose from Big Fatty’s body. Big Fatty was stunned for a moment, then its dark eyes shone with excitement as it roared repeatedly at Chen Mo.
System Notification: Your pet Big Fatty’s Favorability increased by 20 points!
“Five skill books only gave 20 points of Favorability. With the previous 10 points, that’s 30 points now. I wonder if this thing is still useful?”
Chen Mo took out a dark gold potion.
Pet Mutation Potion!
Big Fatty was already a mutated boss. What would happen if he used the Pet Mutation Potion on it?
Chen Mo had long wanted to use it on Big Fatty, but he hadn’t been willing to because Big Fatty’s level was too low. But now, he took it out and decided to use it on Big Fatty!
As Chen Mo moved his hand, a dark golden light flashed over Big Fatty.
Chen Mo watched closely.
Big Fatty’s body showed no unusual changes; there was no sign of evolution. However, the Flower Demon Battle Spirit perched on its head…
Chen Mo was surprised to see that when the dark golden light flashed, the Flower Demon Battle Spirit’s eyes burned with intense light. It began to dance gracefully on Big Fatty’s head. As its tiny body moved, Chen Mo saw the Flower Demon Battle Spirit’s form become clearer and clearer, as if gaining a physical body!
A minute passed in the blink of an eye. The Flower Demon Battle Spirit’s body was only a little short of fully materializing!
The dark golden light faded. The Flower Demon Battle Spirit didn’t fully materialize, but Chen Mo could tell it had definitely mutated because of the Pet Mutation Potion!
Just as Chen Mo wondered what kind of mutation had occurred, he was surprised to see the Flower Demon Battle Spirit’s pink body suddenly transform into a ball of pink light. The pink light expanded and contracted, attaching to both sides of Big Fatty’s body and turning into a pair of pink wings!
With a flap of the pink wings, Big Fatty’s body rose into the air against its will.
Big Fatty, confused and scared, cried out loudly. But the excited Flower Demon Battle Spirit flew Big Fatty around in the sky several times before returning to Chen Mo’s side due to Big Fatty’s strong resistance.
This guy, Big Fatty, now had the ability to fly!
Chen Mo was stunned. He never expected this outcome!
Impact, Angry Roar, Jump Attack, Mini Self-Destruct Slime, Split!
These were the skills Big Fatty originally had!
And now: Heavy Blow, Critical Strike, Extreme Speed, Hurricane, Skin Hardening!
Plus the ability to fly, the Flower Demon Battle Spirit’s super strong Healing Skill, and any new abilities the Flower Demon Battle Spirit might have gained after mutating. Big Fatty was now definitely the strongest pet in the game!
“Little guy, when you become awesome in the future, you have to remember me, your master! Once you’re free, you must become stronger and even more amazing, so that when I become your master again, you’ll be even better!”
Chen Mo patted Big Fatty’s forehead and couldn’t help but remind it again.
That’s right!
After learning he had to release Big Fatty, Chen Mo made a crazy decision!
He would let Big Fatty learn all the pet skill books, break the contract with it, and give it the chance to level up!
With a set of powerful skills and its own combat experience, given time, Big Fatty could level up and become a super powerful mutated boss!
Originally a level ten boss, how strong would it become after leveling up to ninety or even one hundred?
Chen Mo didn’t know, but he was looking forward to it.
If he could catch Cecilia, he could use her until level eighty. After that, if he could make Big Fatty his pet again, his power would skyrocket instantly!
Of course, this was a huge gamble. The time was long, and the chances of success were slim.
Big Fatty might get killed along the way. After becoming super powerful, Big Fatty might forget him, its former master. He might never even meet Big Fatty again… There were many possibilities for failure, but Chen Mo still decided to let Big Fatty learn all the skill books.
Chen Mo knew he did this because he had developed some affection for this big guy.
…
“I’ll wait for you at the Sealing Magic Array. If you don’t show up on time, don’t blame me for not helping.”
After bonding with Big Fatty a bit, Chen Mo went back to find Andergreen. Of course, Andergreen wouldn’t travel with a player. After saying this, he left alone.
Chen Mo had expected this. He came to find Andergreen a full hour early, so he didn’t have to worry about running out of time. To manage the timing, he even had to walk slower on the way, so other players would still be online. Otherwise, he’d be in trouble.
However, not long after Chen Mo left Andergreen’s castle, a group of over twenty players surrounded him.
Flying Sword Guild!
Chen Mo immediately recognized Flying Leopard in the crowd.
“You’ve got some nerve, kid! You dared to come back to the Frozen Wasteland after killing me and stealing my《Ice Breath》!” Flying Leopard said through gritted teeth, furious.
They hadn’t had much hope of ambushing near the castle to find the person who killed him and took the skill book. But after two or three hours, they actually ran into him. A Flying Sword Guild member saw Chen Mo enter Andergreen’s castle and immediately called over the rest of the guild.
“It’s the Flying Sword Guild!”
“That poor guy. If the Flying Sword Guild is after him, and almost the whole guild is here, he’s done for!”
Some players leveling up by killing monsters near the castle saw this and couldn’t help but sigh.
“Buddy, just hand over the Ice Breath skill book, and we’ll call it even. We’ll go our separate ways from now on.” At this moment, a young man stepped out from the Flying Sword Guild, stopping Flying Leopard, and spoke amiably to Chen Mo.
“Old Luo, this guy killed me! We can’t let him go!” Flying Leopard roared angrily.
“Idiot! First, get the skill book back. After that, we can deal with him however we want!” The young man called Old Luo quickly sent a private message to Flying Leopard, cursing inwardly.
“Stop chirping like a bunch of girls. Come at me all at once. I don’t even need to lift a finger to take you all down!”
But then, the Flying Sword Guild heard an incredibly mocking laugh.
