Chapter 35

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Su Mo felt quite worried, but there was not much he could do; during the course of taming, he could not even touch it.

However, this did not mean that players had not tried various things.

According to the suggestions on a forum, Su Mo coughed to clear his throat and said warmly, “Look, this region is very safe, but it’s not very big. There’s a vast world out there; don’t you want to go out and play?

“Also, there are bamboo rats and lots of other food outside. My other pet—no, Lafu is my brother. Hey, can you at least look over here…

“Goddamit, are you trying to make me look bad? You know I drugged those so stop eating them.

“Anyways, there’s a lot better food outside, and you might be able to find a nice girl. Err, you’re not a girl yourself, right? Actually, that’s not important; it’s not good to marry your relatives, so come with me to find your other half.

“If you want to grow, you have to experience battles. You might be able to bring back the glory of your ancestors.”

He felt quite parched after rambling, but it was a pity that the more he talked, the slower the channeling became. This meant that the pet’s will was very strong and was resisting.

“Little panda, come with me, I’ll protect you.

“Goddamit, the bar stopped? Just what the hell do you want?

“Ai, I don’t know how to speak the Sichuan dialect. What do I need to do to make you come with me?”

What could he do? What could he do? Su Mo checked his body and went through his bag.

“You eat meat, right? Look, here’s some lizard meat, rabbit meat, chicken meat, fish meat…”

“Awoo!” The first to react was not the panda baby but Lafu. He was always suspicious that his owner was hiding food, and now he had seen the evidence.

“Lafu, stop!” Su Mo quickly stopped Lafu. Pets could not resist the power of the great System God, and Lafu could only watch the exquisite meat being placed in front of the panda baby, continuously drooling.

The panda baby was startled before starting to sniff.

Following this, Su Mo discovered that the channelling bar filled up in an instant, and the system told him that he had obtained a new pet and asked him to name it.

He did not have time to name it; he picked up the panda baby that had gathered all of the meat and called Lafu as he began to run.

Not too long after he left, the adult pandas followed their tracks and arrived.

Based on the tracks on the ground and the magic that had not yet dissipated from the air, the largest panda stood up and furiously roared.

The other pandas all began to roar too.

The forest began to rumble as animals started to run in fear.

A dragon!

A massive dragon!

A massive, azure dragon appeared above the pandas and descended, and countless large trees were crushed.

The biggest panda rushed over and roared a few times, and the dragon raised its head and flew into the head before spiraling about and roaring.

The entire forest seemed to explode.

Countless animals, including some mutated plants, began to search for a human or other intelligent race.

On that day, even players on the outer boundary of the forest were slaughtered.

Some people said that they had seen a massive dragon flying in the sky, and countless high-level monsters had rushed out. The players had no idea what was going on before they were massacred, and even a few camps around the forest had been destroyed.

Only when the garrison army from a nearby city and some powerful figures came were they able to control the situation.

Su Mo did not know about any of this; he found a safe spot to teleport back to town.

New World allowed players to have all of their pets out, but when battling, they could only send out one pet to fight. Su Mo went back to the inn and looked at his two pets with a smile, as if he was looking at his own children.

Following this, the two pets started to happily eat roast meat.

What did pandas eat?

Su Mo searched this on the internet and was greeted with a large amount of information.

Even children knew that they liked to eat bamboo, especially fresh bamboo shoots. They only occasionally ate meat, not because they did not like to eat meat but because they lacked the opportunity to do so. If they often went to catch rats or other small creatures, the nutrition they received would often be less than the energy exerted to catch them, so meat was not their primary diet.

In terms of meat, they liked to eat bamboo rats the most.

As such, Su Mo took a few bamboo rats and roasted a few at the inn’s kitchen. This greatly pleased the panda baby, and its Loyalty shot up. Afterwards, it no longer followed behind Su Mo and instead hugged Su Mo’s leg, being incredibly affectionate as if they were one family.

Even though Hargins Town was quiet, this did not mean that there were not any people here.

As such, when Su Mo walked out of the inn with the panda baby attached to his leg, many people’s gazes were immediately attracted to him.

“What is that?”

“It seems… to be a panda. Wow, it’s a panda! Big brother, can I pet it?”

At first, two girls saw Su Mo and rushed over.

Su Mo did not even have the opportunity to speak before the two girls started to pat the baby panda.

“Let go of my panda, come at me instead.” 

Su Mo could only say this inwardly. Soon, even more people started to crowd over.

Su Mo did not mind particularly if it was girls, but why were guys also coming over?

Putting aside you touching my panda, why are you touching me? Where are you touching? You’d better stop or I’ll call the System God to strike you down.

With a swish, the panda disappeared.

Everyone felt stunned and disappointed, and they turned their passionate gazes to the baby panda’s owner.

“Sorry, I have things to do. Please make way,” Su Mo said courteously. There was a massive crowd around him, and he was worried that he would be killed by some jealous girl after he left the safe region.

“Can you tell me where you caught the panda?” a girl held onto Su Mo’s hand as she asked passionately.

“It’s a hidden quest and was very complicated. I only completed it after ten or so days and nearly failed.” 

Even though he had made it sound so difficult, the people around him did not look dispirited at all, so Su Mo could only fake sadness and say, “It seems that this quest can only be done once; my friends couldn’t trigger it afterwards.”

“Where did you trigger it? How did you trigger it? Let us try.” No one could forget about the panda baby, and no matter what Su Mo said, they did not want to give up.

“Ermmm…” Su Mo paused before saying, “Kerni Fishing Port’s Soni Smithy. If you ask Soni Junior to forge more than five pieces of equipment for you, you might be able to trigger the quest.”

He would ask Soni Junior for a cut of the profits in the future. What a great advertisement.

The Hunter-profession girls madly ran off, leaving behind a group of girls of other professions staring at Su Mo, unwilling to leave his side.

Many years later, when Su Mo thought back to those times, he understood that that was the pinnacle of his life.
