Chapter 21

However, the Super Dimension ability resulted in huge movements. It would be better if the movements were smaller.

Bai Ye still remembered the second time he had experienced the power of the Super Dimension. This was the second time he made use of Xiaowei and the Super Dimension ability to jab at a monster in the wild, using only one finger to kill it.

Judging from its size, that monster might be a high-level gold beast.

It might even be a platinum-level monster.

However, his fingertips were injured during the fight. The skin on them was pricked, forming a drop of blood.

His healing speed was not abnormal like the healing speed of a tamed beast.

This also showed that at present, he was still not invincible, despite the increase in power provided by the Super Dimension.

He could still hurt himself.

Besides, there were many kinds of tamed beasts. There were various types of monsters on the Obsidian Planet alone.

Bai Ye had no idea if some weird abilities, such as curses, would be passed on to him through the Super Dimension ability.

Therefore, although Bai Ye had the Super Dimension ability, he was not complacent and knew that he was not invincible.

Perhaps in the future, it would be beneficial for Xiaodiao to use the Super Dimension ability through the Super Dimension Mirror.

A giant claw stretched out from the sky.

…

Bang. The door was slammed shut.

Fang Luolin returned home with an ice-cold expression on her face.

She got upset at the sight of Bai Ye, who was lounging on the sofa and drinking herbal tea leisurely.

She had sloughed her guts out while he was drinking herbal tea and enjoying the air-conditioner at home.

“Take a break and have a cup of herbal tea. I have already prepared dinner.” Bai Ye patted the sofa next to him.

He got up and went to the kitchen to bring the steamed vegetables that had been kept warm in the pot.

Fang Luolin took a sip while sitting on the sofa, putting her bag aside.

“I got you something on the way home.”

“Why are you back so early? Is the beast tide over?” Although he had witnessed the receding beast tide, Bai Ye still pretended not to know and asked her about it casually.

“It’s over,” Fang Luolin said. “I met a fly on the way back. It was really annoying.”

Given her good looks and powerful abilities, Fang Luolin did not lack suitors.

However, most of them were self-aware and would not bother her after being rejected.

“Was it the man downstairs? What does his family do for a living?”

The man downstairs was the person who had ridden on the Blue Sun Bird’s back.

“He is called Zheng Pingchun. He claims that his family is running a meat-processing factory and a canning business,” Fang Luolin said casually.

“A meat-processing factory…” Bai Ye said thoughtfully. “It seems that the farm outside the city has suffered heavy losses. His family business should have been affected as well.”

“It’s none of my business. I killed quite a lot of monsters this time. I earned some points and exchanged some to get something for you.” Fang Luolin took out a bottle of yellow fish oil.

“This is golden fish oil. It is good for the eyes, gall, and meditation.” Fang Luolin nagged at him while she took three bottles of golden fish oil out of the bag.

“This is a crystal block with wind attributes. It is made right away and it contains a lot of nutrients. It is a pity there aren’t crystal blocks with spatial attributes. I only managed to find blocks with wind attributes.” Fang Luolin took out two more boxes.

One of them was a 30 cm x 50 cm box. After opening it, one could see neatly-stacked rows of high-quality wind crystals.

They were pure cyan in color, and they were top-grade crystals.

These wind crystals contained very high nutritional value. A high-level tamed beast would not need to take too many at once.

“What about you? What did you get for yourself?”

Fang Luolin took out one box after another.

However, there was nothing in them meant for her.

“I got an intermediate ice skill book. I studied it on the way back.”

“What kind of skill did you learn?”

“Why do you have so many questions?” Fang Luolin rolled her eyes.

Bai Ye was silent.

However, he was watching her all this while.

His silly elder sister had not gotten anything for herself.

“Aren’t you afraid that you won’t get married in the future?” Bai Ye teased her.

“It just so happens that I don’t intend to get married.” Fang Luolin could not be bothered.

Bai Ye sighed.

He then opened the bottle of golden fish oil.

“How does one eat this?” Bai Ye looked at it several times, turning it over and over.

No usage instructions were printed on it.

“You can eat it raw or use it as a condiment. It is slightly salty and greasy.” Fang Luolin had inquired about how one could eat golden fish oil.

Bai Ye used a spoon to scoop a large spoonful and mixed it with rice.

He had decided to use it as lard and eat it with rice.

To his surprise, it tasted alright when it was mixed with rice.

Fang Luolin’s eyelids twitched, causing her pain inside.

She had risked her life to obtain this. He should at least have it in smaller servings.

“Why don’t you eat some?” Bai Ye said innocently. “I’ll scoop it for you.”

Bai Ye was about to serve a spoonful to his elder sister when Fang Luolin hurriedly stopped him. “No, no, no, I will do it myself.”

They went back to their rooms after dinner.

Bai Ye turned on his cell phone and saw that there was a missed call.

It was from the skinny boy.

He returned Wang Qilin’s call.

On the other side of the line, Wang Qilin’s voice sounded choked. “Old Fang… my house is gone. I merely went to take an exam, and my house was gone in the blink of an eye.

“I just found out that there was a beast tide outside. My dad called me right after the exam and told me not to go home. I went home and realized that my house was gone.”

Bai Ye did not know how to comfort him.

He was not good at consoling people.

“Well… at the very least everyone is safe. Have all your livestock left?”

“Only Mother Pig and her piglets are left. The other Iron-Armored Babirusas ran away due to the beast tide.”

It was no wonder he had noticed some pigs that had looked familiar in the mirror…

They had been surrounded by the beast tide, and the Iron-Armored Babirusas had rushed out of the city.

Wang Qilin’s father had left a very good impression on Bai Ye.

He was a generous and friendly man.

“My dad is calling for me. I’ll hang up now. Let’s chat again some other time.” Wang Qilin had matters to attend to, so they hung up after exchanging a few words.

Bai Ye sat on the chair, lost in his thoughts. He then went to charge his cell phone.

He needed to be more powerful.

He had to be a silver-level Beast Tamer to become an adventure-level Beast Tamer and leave the Base City to explore the world outside.

He would need basic exploration abilities.

The basic requirements for becoming a silver-level Beast Tamer were having a silver-level tamed beast and silver-level mental strength.

Bai Ye had no intention of revealing Xiaowei to anyone. Therefore, he had to train Xiaodiao to be strong as soon as possible.

Meditation was vital as well. He had to break through to the gold level soon.

Bai Ye thought silently to himself.

One week had passed.

The higher management of the Base City had stepped in to control and manage the beast tide. Thus, apart from a very small group of people who had suffered damages due to the beast tide, most of the people had not been affected by it. There were only 10 deaths in total, which was something the higher management of the Base City could brag about.

Bai Ye had not stepped out of his house this week.

He had stayed in his room to meditate and train Xiaodiao.

He had to admit that Xiaodiao had made some progress in its training.

Thanks to the large supply of wind crystals, Xiaodiao had now successfully broken through to the iron three-star level.

Initially, it had been smaller than the size of a palm. Right now, it was the size of a chicken.

The only thing that had not changed was its pair of wise eyes.

Cuckoo. Xiaodiao made a strange sound.

Now that Xiaodiao was much more intelligent, it understood who was the person that had the most authority in the family.

Xiaodiao squatted obediently against its master’s thigh with a wise light in its eyes.

Super Dimension Mirror.

Bai Ye held the cell phone in his left hand and stroked the feathers on Xiaodiao’s back with his right hand.

His cell phone automatically sent chicken-roasting methods to him. He turned that function off.

There were several news headlines at the top.

“Traces Of Frozen Snow Monsters Found In Beiling Snow Cave, Pointing To A New Type Of Icy Tamed Beast.”

“The University of South China Won The Championship Again. It Clinched The First Place In The 63rd Dongzhou District 100-City Strongest University Competition. Perhaps the Poison Sting Will Become A New Genre?”

“…”

The world outside was far more exciting than his boring southern town.

He closed the news page.

Bai Ye searched for a way to quickly train tamed beasts.

Those who trained a second and third tamed beast should have a method that was not as dull and simple as training one’s first tamed beast.
