Chapter 64: Chapter 25: Huge Harvest (Asking for Investment and Follow-up Reading)

Outside the enormous light screen of the Guardian Beast Tower, a new name quietly appeared.

"Lin Su, first level."

"Hmm?" Mu Yuxing, who was lost in thought leaning against the wall, looked towards the new name on the screen, his face showing a hint of surprise, "He passed the first level so quickly?"

In Lin Su's case, the first level should have involved an icy terrain and Xue Henqing, and the Xue Henqing simulated as his opponent should have had slightly above-average strength among its species.

It seemed that the Xue Henqing Lin Su had contracted was a stronger individual within its species, which enabled him to pass so quickly.

However, the second level would not be so easy.

The benefits of conquering the Guardian Beast Tower were numerous, but those benefits were not easy to obtain.

A look of anticipation appeared on his face.

He wondered if Lin Su could pass the second level.

...

When the boundless snowy plains completely dissipated, Lin Su and Qiuqiu found themselves in front of a suspended Crystal Stone and an ascending staircase.

Had they passed?

Lin Su quickly realized, stretched out his hand to take down the Crystal Stone, and carefully placed it against Qiuqiu's forehead, "Qiuqiu, after this Crystal Stone is attached to your forehead, you can quickly practice any skill ten times. Remember to practice Frost Storm."

"Meow!" (Understood!)

Watching Qiuqiu close its eyes as the Crystal Stone touched its forehead, Lin Su breathed a sigh of relief.

Once Qiuqiu had completed practicing Frost Storm through the Crystal Stone and replenished the energy it had spent in the fight with an energy solution, they could continue to tackle the second level.

Come to think of it, he seemed to have forgotten to ask before entering the Guardian Beast Tower.

Training skills, how long would it take?

After attaching the Crystal Stone to its forehead, Qiuqiu had a dream.

In the dream, Qiuqiu found itself on an endless snowy plain.

It felt as if it had infinite strength, never running out no matter how much it was used.

Quickly, it recalled what Lin Su had told it before entering the dream.

Puffing up its cheeks, Qiuqiu unleashed a frosty storm that swept across the snowy plain using all its might.

Normally, such a storm would have drained a lot of its energy, but now, as the Frost Storm dispersed into the vast snowy wind, Qiuqiu's energy remained at its peak.

"Meow!" (Continue practicing!)

Twice... five times... eight times...

It practiced releasing the Frost Storm over and over, improving its control of the Frost Storm with each practice.

Qiuqiu had already graduated from its pet literacy class, and Lin Su, keeping his promise, had bought it a communication device specific for Qiuqiu. Through the device, Qiuqiu could look up various training methods on its own, knowing how to improve the Frost Storm's skill proficiency even without Lin Su's guidance.

The ten practices of Frost Storm were quickly completed, the surrounding snowy plains slowly faded away, and a mysterious force gradually enveloped Qiuqiu's consciousness, seeming to prepare to depart from this place.

Suddenly, Qiuqiu sensed something and instinctively looked towards a spot on the disappearing snowy plains.

In the midst of the snowy wind, it seemed as if something was watching it.

It was an eye with a snowflake-imprinted pupil.

Before it could get a clear look at the figure, the next moment, the entire snowy plain turned into light spots and disappeared, and Qiuqiu's consciousness was brought back to reality.

"Meow? (๑ŏωŏ๑)" (What was that just now?)

"What's wrong, Qiuqiu?" Lin Su curiously looked at Qiuqiu as it reopened its eyes, "How do you feel? Was the training effective?"

"Meow! (｡òωó｡)" (It was effective!)

"Good if it was effective." Lin Su let out a slight sigh of relief. It had only been a couple of seconds since he had attached the Crystal Stone to Qiuqiu, and it had reopened its eyes, making him think the item was useless.

Although he had heard about the wonders of the Guardian Beast Tower, Lin Su had never actually tested it himself.

Now he could be relieved.

"Qiuqiu, what you just mentioned, 'what was that,' what were you referring to?"

"Meow..." (It seemed like something was watching me...)

"Something was watching you?" Lin Su slightly frowned.

He wondered if anyone else had encountered this situation in the Guardian Beast Tower. Of course, it might also have been Qiuqiu's illusion, as these magical Crystal Stones were solidified by the rules of dreams, and encountering some incomprehensible things was possible.

But from Qiuqiu's reaction, it seemed not to have caused any impact.

With a swipe over his Space Ring, a bottle of universal energy liquid appeared in Lin Su's hand, "First recover your strength, then we'll continue on to the second level."

"Meow!" (The second level!)

The vertical pupil Qiuqiu had just seen was quickly forgotten as it skillfully raised its little neck from Lin Su's embrace, seized the energy liquid, and held the bottle with its front paws, biting and pulling the cap off vigorously.

"Pop~" the crisp sound of the cap being removed occurred, Qiuqiu skillfully placed the cap it had been holding in its mouth back into Lin Su's hand, then grabbed the bottle's neck and sharply tipped its head back.

"Glug glug glug~"

"Meow! (^ω^)ฅ" (All done!)

Taking the empty bottle returned by Qiuqiu and putting it back into the Space Ring, Lin Su felt Qiuqiu rapidly regaining its strength through their Guardian Beast Contract connection, his face showing a smile, "Let's go, to the second level."

"Meow!" (Second level!) Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The duo, human and pet, slowly ascended the light staircase and soon arrived in a new space.

It looked as if there was not much difference from the first level's space.
