Chapter 52 - The Sparrow Masquerading as a Phoenix

After returning to Anping County, Lin Rou gave Wang Ye a set of keys.

The benefits of becoming an official investigator were quite good.

At least he didn’t have to live in a rented house anymore since a house would be assigned to him.

After all, going out to investigate was dangerous in itself, so the Investigation Corps tried to help the investigators live a comfortable life in the city.

The house he was given was a single apartment in the north of Anping County. It was surrounded by lush greenery, and the residence area even had a large man-made lake, a bamboo forest, a field for flying, a relatively complete pet training ground, a Pet Center, a battle club, and so on.

It was a very suitable place to live and raise pets.

It was not far from the Investigation Corps either.

Having relocated to a new environment, the first thing that Wang Ye did when he returned was, of course, to purchase large amounts of goods.

The assessment this time had yielded extremely bountiful gains, but the pressure followed closely behind.

What came first was the pressure of evolution.

“If Xiao Jiu wants to evolve, its Feather Cut and Feather Coat have to break through to the peak mastery realm, while Intimidation has to reach the great success realm. But there’s less than a month left until the dark fog erupts as per the simulation. Can it do it in a month?”

He had gathered all the materials needed for the evolvement, but the requirements were not easy to achieve.

Beginner skills were not a huge problem since they could somehow be improved after decades of training in the simulations.

However, intermediate and advanced skills were a different story. It was difficult to improve them after they reached the great success realm.

Xiao Jiu had been training in script simulation for decades, but there was still no improvement in those skills.

It had clearly encountered a bottleneck.

Either Xiao Jiu’s soul growth had to improve, or it had to trigger a fortuitous encounter in the scripted world and break through with comprehension.

If Xiao Jiu did not evolve, the results of the reality simulations have proven many times that the ending would stay the same.

For the remaining two chances of running the reality simulation, Wang Ye wanted to wait until after Xiao Jiu evolved to see the changes that would happen then.

Next was the matter of Xiao Tao the Sealed Demon Sword Tomb.

Since he had obtained what he asked for, he naturally had to fulfill his promise.

He estimated that it would be extremely difficult for him to find Xiao Tao’s other two parts, though!

This was because it involved the history of the Xinghai Demonic Disaster, which meant he had to gather information, investigate the reason behind the matter, and figure out the ins and outs. Otherwise, it would be almost impossible to break the seals and get the other parts.

Of course, Wang Ye would only consider this matter after the crisis in Anping County was resolved.

After summarizing his trip, Wang Ye began to place orders online for tonics and materials.

“Xiao Jiu, go clean up the house,” Wang Ye said.

The new house was relatively dirty and messy.

“Chirp!” Xiao Jiu raised its wings as if saying “leave it to me”.

It nimbly flew in the air.

Cleaning the house was a very simple thing!

“Wait, wear this when you clean,” Wang Ye took out the Kongmi Wingsuit and put it on Xiao Jiu’s wings as it struggled, “From today onwards, to train your skills to the peak mastery realm as soon as possible, you have to wear this, during your daily training too.”

“Chirp!” Xiao Jiu resisted strongly.

“Believe me, your wings will be even more beautiful after wearing them!” Wang Ye said with a face full of anticipation, “Don’t you want to look more beautiful?”

Xiao Jiu, who had been resisting, suddenly quietened down.

Then, it shyly put on the thin Kongmi Wingsuit that was like cicada wings.

The wingsuit was translucent. After it was worn by a pet, it would slowly fuse with the pet’s wings and turn into the same color as the wings.

To be honest, it didn’t make the pet look better at all.

After all, practical equipment wasn’t created to improve the pet’s appearance.

After putting it on, Xiao Jiu felt as if it was back to the time when it delivered food.

It was very difficult to fly, and it felt uncomfortable all over.

Xiao Jiu then immediately found a mirror and looked at itself left and right.

“Chirp?” It felt that it didn’t change much!

The green sparrow in the mirror was still the same green sparrow, and its wings hadn’t changed much either…

It felt that it had been tricked.

“It’s beautiful!” At this moment, Wang Ye walked over with a face full of praise, “Look at these feathers. With the wingsuit, every single one of them is vivid! Wow! They’re even shining with a rainbow-like luster! It’s too beautiful! Look at this streamlined wing arc, it’s even more perfect than a true dragon! You’re so pretty now!”

Xiao Jiu looked at its reflection, puzzled.

Was it really?

Why wasn’t it seeing the beauty?

Wang Ye said, “Hm? It can’t be that you can’t see yourself looking so beautiful, right?”

“Chirp, chirp!” Xiao Jiu immediately cried out excitedly.

It can see its beauty! It was now super beautiful!

It flapped its wings twice, gradually losing itself in Wang Ye’s praises…

Xiao Jiu’s new clothes!

Wang Ye nodded in satisfaction.

It was quite easy to fool a young pet.

After cleaning the room, they first rested for a few days to recover their energy.

Wang Ye spent over four million to buy a large batch of spiritual supplements, as well as some high-quality pet food.

First, he bought over some spirit wonder pills that cost ten million per pill, an extremely powerful pill that replenished spiritual energy.

If an ordinary person ate one, they would immediately ascend to immortality.

These pills were specially made for Beastmasters with talents in the Spiritual Talent Sequence, as well as spirit-type pets for their cultivation.

He bought over 200 of them.

With Xiao Jiu’s current simulation intensity, once the simulation was run for 120 years, the duration would be very long, and the amount of spiritual power consumed would be extremely terrifying!

If it was the white python’s simulation, it would be even more troublesome. The little fellow stayed in hiding forever. If nothing else, it could live for a long time in the simulation.

On the other hand though, due to its cowardice, it couldn’t get any fortuitous encounters. Fortunately, he hadn’t started training it yet, so he hadn’t put it through too many simulations yet and the pressure there wasn’t too great.

Next was the cultivation resources.

Combat ability was the standard to measure a pet. Without spiritual energy, it was nothing.

Cultivation still depended on the pet itself.

As such, Wang Ye spent a million to buy ten boxes of spiritual energy stones, which should last for one month.

He then spent another million to buy the even higher-quality flame tassel rice for Xiao Jiu.

This was truly high-grade pet food.

Different from ordinary food, the flame tassel rice had a special kind of flame energy that could be absorbed.

Since it was processed food, the flame tassel rice was different from attributed materials.

The purity of the energy in attributed materials was high, and it was very difficult for pets that didn’t have a beast vein to absorb it.

As for the special food that was processed, the energy within it was neutralized and mixed according to ratio. It had also undergone a hundred processing procedures and clinical trials. As such, such food could allow the pet to slowly absorb the energy within, thus increasing part of the pet’s attributes.

For example, after long-term consumption of the flame tassel rice, the pet’s spiritual energy attribute would be increased.

He bought this for Xiao Jiu in preparation for its future evolution and absorption of the Scalding Bright Flame.

As for the white python, it could stay eating the snake spirit fruit for the time being.

He didn’t have that much money, anyway.

Three million was gone just like that.

Wang Ye saved the remaining 1.5 million for future use.

After finishing his purchases, Wang Ye then sold the extra materials he had in his spatial sphere online.

It was estimated that these materials could be sold for another million or so.

With money in his pocket, there was no need to panic.

After resting enough, Wang Ye began to let Xiao Jiu train its skills in the simulations.

The first thing to be trained was not Feather Cut or Feather Coat, but Intimidation.

[Pet information has been updated. The script is loading…]

[0 year old. The green sparrow has started to practice Intimidation…]

[12 years old. The progress of Intimidation is slow. The green sparrow thinks that it might be lacking a training partner.]

[25 years old. The green sparrow searches for training partners in the mysterious mountain range. Finally, it finds a group of white worms. It thinks that these worms should be the only weaker creatures than it in the mountain range.]

[38 years old. Under constant Intimidation, the worms turn into strange-looking butterflies. The green sparrow feels very gratified, thinking that it had done a good deed. ]

[48 years old. The green sparrow found the bones of a mysterious giant bird. With a thought, it made the bones into a wingsuit and put them on. After that, it began to search for other training partners.]

[62 years old. The green sparrow found a young black bear cub that was training and started to use it as a training target. The black bear that was scared by the green sparrow that was masquerading as some great creature had no choice but to become the green sparrow’s training target.]

[65 years old. The green sparrow felt that its Intimidation was constantly improving by scaring the black bear every day…]

[66 years old. One day, the black bear could not bear the humiliation anymore and asked its parents to come. A giant black bear that was over a hundred meters tall killed the green sparrow with two slaps.]

[White Character Achievement: Phoenix Masquerade]

[The simulation has ended. The green sparrow has survived to 66 years old. You may keep one of the following three options.]

[Skill: Intimidation, 66 years of proficiency]

[White Character Achievement: Phoenix Masquerade]

[66 years six-dimensional growth.]

“Huh!” Wang Ye was stunned, “A white genetic characteristic? Isn’t that the most trashy characteristic?”

[Phoenix Masquerade (White – upgradeable): You once pretended to be a mysterious and powerful bird-type beast, and have thus obtained a vague aura that can confuse pets that are much weaker than you. They are unable to tell if your aura is real or fake.]

“Wait, it’s upgradeable?” Wang Ye’s eyes instantly lit up.
