After defeating the gem cat, Su Ming and the people from Shining Heaven came to the home of Chief Ge Bang and told it the news.
Gobon sent people to check in the mine. After confirming that the stone cat statue was broken and unable to move, he gave the Winter Soldier and Su Ming mission rewards.
A level 30 dark gold giant sword and the Breath of Darkness gem.
The ore produced in the mine is the source of income for the Flint tribe. After the old chief solved a serious problem, he was in a good mood and took the initiative to tell Su Ming:
"Your pet may not be able to successfully use the Breath of Darkness gem. If you are willing to help me collect some of the most delicate 'cactus', I can increase the success rate of your pet's evolution."
Su Ming nodded and accepted the new task.
Pet evolution is risky. The last time Zaemon evolved, something almost happened.
The task requires Su Ming to collect 100 pieces of delicate cactus. When passing through the territory of the jab cactus, Su Ming saw some "babies of jab cactus", and he should fight them to collect them.
The quantity is not large, so it will take some time, but in order to ensure that everything is foolproof, it is worth spending any amount of time.
The Winter Soldier heard the conversation between Su Ming and the war chief and asked Su Ming:
"Boss, how many pieces of tender cactus do you need for this task?"
"100 yuan, do you have it?" Su Ming was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this was not an exclusive material for the mission.
"It's only a hundred dollars. I'll ask someone to get it for you right now." The Winter Soldier said with a smile, "For so many days, the brothers in the guild have been guarding the tribe, so they can only kill monsters. All kinds of things.
There’s a lot of material.”
"Thank you~" Su Ming thanked happily.
The Winter Soldier smiled. He felt that Su Ming's way of speaking matched his appearance very well. He was not very old.
When fighting the BOSS just now, even if Bing Jing made a ridiculous mistake, Su Ming took care of it lightly.
In addition to Su Ming's confidence in his own skills, there should also be reasons for his personality.
If you have not been severely beaten by society, you will be less aggressive and treat others very friendly.
For people with good skills and good character, the Winter Soldier is willing to help.
"Then I'm going to level up first and try to use the dark gold giant sword as soon as possible. Boss, please don't reveal that I have the dark gold weapon." The Winter Soldier said.
Su Ming nodded and said seriously:
"Don't worry, I won't tell you."
After the Winter Soldier left, a member of Shining Heaven soon made a deal with Su Ming at the door and gave Su Ming a hundred pieces of "Tender Cactus".
Su Ming handed the cactus to the chief. The chief asked Su Ming to get back the Breath of Darkness gem and handed it to an attendant. About 10 minutes later, the attendant came back with the Breath of Darkness gem.
"Take it and absorb this gem. Even if you fail, your pet will not be harmed."
Refined Dark Breath Gem: The energy contained in the refined gem is gentler.
"Thank you, Chief."
Su Ming took the gem and was about to leave. He remembered the black cat and asked the chief about it.
"A black cat with white stripes on its forehead and gold ornaments?" The chief was stunned and said, "The black cat you are talking about looks very much like Miao Mi, one of the three ancient gods."
"Meow?" Su Ming repeated, thinking that the name was quite vivid.
"Yes, Miu Mi. As the sister of the other two gods, she is deeply favored by the god of reincarnation, Woshom, and the god of courage, Gegeyu. Shining gems and gold coins are her favorites.
It is said that people who have met Miu Mi will become paupers no matter how rich they are, so you should be careful these days."
After hearing what the great chief said, Su Ming quickly opened his status bar and made sure there was no debuff before he felt relieved.
Seeing Su Ming being so nervous, the chief smiled and said,
"Actually, you don't have to be so nervous. The three gods are just ancient legends. Ever since Wossom usurped the throne of the 'Eternal Dynasty', ruled brutally, and was overthrown by the angry tribes, they have not appeared in Erth for hundreds of years.
The region of Begne.
What you see may just be 'money cats' that look a lot like Miu Mi. They are valuable ornamental pets.
If you can catch it, you can go to the nobles in the city and exchange it for a better price."
Su Ming had been beaten by a cat before, but he didn't lose any blood. He agreed with the chief's statement - what he encountered should be a golden cat.
"How much money can I exchange for?" Su Ming asked.
"It depends on whether it is a male or a female. Male cats only cost about 10,000 gold coins. Female cats are more valuable because they can give birth to kittens and can be sold for more than 20,000 gold coins."
"20,000 gold!" Su Ming was surprised and secretly made up his mind to catch the money cat next time he met it!
Afterwards, Su Ming bid farewell to the chief, crushed the stone of return to the city, and returned to Hierro City.
Su Ming specially found a hotel, hoping to give Zuemon a quiet and undisturbed environment to evolve.
Entering the hotel, Su Ming discovered a strange phenomenon. Players entering and leaving the hotel were all in pairs...
Realizing that they were doing something embarrassing, Su Ming blushed.
When passers-by players saw a child-like person like Su Ming entering the hotel, they also started talking about it:
"Did you start at such a young age?"
"By the way, even in the game, minors are not allowed, right?"
"I think he should be on a mission."
"This person... seems to be the spore, right? This is big news."
Su Ming took the room key, passed through the talking big sisters, and rushed to her room.
After slamming the door, Su Ming leaned against the door, breathed a sigh of relief, and summoned Zuemon.
Su Ming knelt down, took out the Breath of Darkness gem, put it to Zaemon's mouth, touched its head and said,
"Let's work hard and evolve."
Zaemon gently rubbed Su Ming's face to express his gratitude, and then ate the Breath of Darkness gem in one gulp.
System: Your pet Zaemon has swallowed the refined Breath of Darkness gem, matches the "Wild Boar" bloodline, and is evolving (success rate: 96%).
Seeing the 96% success rate, Su Ming felt relieved.
Zaemon has very strong skills. Even if he fails, he can still evolve for the second time. Moreover, this time there is a 96% success rate, so it is unlikely to fail.
Zaemon's expression was much calmer than last time.
Su Ming just browsed the forum without worries to kill some time.
About five or six minutes later, Zuemon suddenly screamed in pain, which made Su Ming feel nervous. He thought, would he fail again?
But the next second, Su Ming received a system message that the evolution was successful.
System: The bloodline of your pet Zaemon Wild Boar has been fully stimulated, and it has successfully evolved into a Wild Boar. The physical attack power has increased by +10~30, the attributes have been corrected and compensated according to the level, the original skills have been updated, and the new skill "Sword Dual Wielding" has been learned.
"Hybrid".
Zaemon, who was originally on all fours, evolved successfully and turned into a wild boar man about 1.6 meters tall.
However, compared to the wild boars in the Flint Tribe, Zaemon's mutation is not very complete.
Zaemon's head is completely in the shape of a wild boar. The hair on his upper body covers his abdominal muscles. His lower body is wearing loose pants that have evolved from hair. He has a bit of a beggar style. His feet are still pig's hooves.
Zaemon stared at his big pig eyes and snorted. Su Ming could understand that it was calling him.
It seems that after turning into a wild boar, Zaemon is still unable to speak.
"Master, I need two swords." Zaemon said.
"Okay, I'll buy it for you later."
"kindness."
When Su Ming checked Zaemon's attributes, he also summoned Xiaohei and Hammer to let them get familiar with Zaemon's new form.
Hammer recognizes people by their magical aura. As long as Zaemon's aura remains unchanged, he can recognize even domestic pigs.
"Wow haha, is this a stupid pig?" Xiao Hei jumped on Zaemon's pig head and laughed, "After becoming like this, it seems to have become even stupider."
Zaemon reached out to catch Xiao Hei, and Xiao Hei jumped on Su Ming's head.
"It's a little bit, but I can't catch it. Speaking of Zaemon, why is your pig head still a pig's head? I see those wild boar people in the Flint Tribe, some of the features of the pig heads have degenerated, and they have no hair on their bodies."
"Maybe it's because my mother is a wild boar." Zaemon replied with a groan, "Not only does my head still look like a wild boar, but I can also transform back into a wild boar..."
With that said, Zaemon transformed back into a wild boar with a "chun" sound, but his size was slightly larger than before.
When Zaemon returned to his original appearance, Su Ming happened to see this skill of Zaemon.
