Starting With Contract Pets

Chapter 23 - The Most Deadly Self Strategy

"Attention, everyone! I'm going to the Lava Tree monster's territory, so please subscribe and send me a little gift! It's the notorious Lava Tree monster, after all!"

Fang Laoba yelled a few words and then looked away from the screen. He let his Blue Sea Snake go ahead and lead the way while his Iron Fist protected him.

It was obvious that this anchor was very wary of the said monster, whereas his viewers were not afraid to blow things up as they kept instigating him to rush in straightaway.

"Do you see it? It's the Lava Tree monster; it's so thick and big!"

Fang Laoba approached the monster's territory, and from his position, he could see a fiery-red tree, more than thirty meters tall, growing in the middle of a lava lake.

The monster was motionless and seemed to be asleep, its fire attribute spiritual power faintly rising and falling with its breathing.

"Okay, guys, look properly; I've come today to slaughter this Lava Tree monster!"

He spoke to the camera then commanded his pet to battle.

"Snake, use your Turbo Water Cannon first then quickly follow it up with Frozen Light!"

Although Frozen Light was an ice skill, the Blue Sea Snake had learned it, for it was powerful when combined with Turbo Water Cannon.

As the spiritual power of the water attribute snake fluctuated, countless currents condensed, then a turbine water cannon quickly formed in conjunction with its spiritual power. In an instant, it rushed toward the monster in the lake.

A cold white light flickered in the serpent's mouth, which it pointed directly at the Lava Tree monster, just as its turbine water cannon was about to hit the latter.

"Oh, my God! That turbine water cannon is so strong; it'll be even more powerful with Frozen Light."

"Wow, the Lava Tree monster is a goner for sure!"

"This must be fake. Why isn't that monster resisting?"

...

...

While the comment section was ablaze with discussion, the Blue Sea Snake's turbine water cannon rapidly approached the monster in the lava lake. This was when a horrible fire spirit suddenly shot forth and condensed in the air to form a fire dragon from the magma pool, which directly wiped out the snake's turbine water cannon.

After the annihilation of the Turbo Water Cannon, more magma formed a whirlpool under the monster's control and swallowed the flying Frozen Light. A small part of the originally extremely powerful ice attack was frozen by the magma and quickly vaporized.

The Lava Tree monster's body shook violently, and countless flame leaves formed the shape of a fire dragon, which rushed toward Fang Laoba with rolling magma.

"What the f*ck! That monster has awakened its fire spirit power. Snake, quickly use your Water Curtain, then let's run!"

Fang Laoba cursed loudly, and immediately after the countless flames descended, the entire live broadcast room went black.

"Huh? Did the anchor die?"

"What the f*ck! A fire spirit power—the anchor is dead!"

"???"

"??? My goodness! He's dead just like that? He's really dead?"

"I've already called the police. They said they'll notify the Spirit Alliance…"

"A minute of silence for the fallen. The anchor was only twenty-five years old!"

"What the f*ck! What about my bet!"

"Prophet, come out for me to cut you. It must be you who harmed the anchor."

"No, I didn't. It wasn't me; I was just casually saying it."

...

Su Bai stared at the screen, stunned. Was that anchor really dead, or did the device just explode?

Although he had indeed thought right from the start that the winning rate was not high, he had never expected such a thing to happen, either.

"The monster battlefield is really dangerous!"

Su Bai muttered softly as he inwardly mourned the anchor's fate.

The strength of the Lava Tree monster clearly surpassed its level by a lot, and it was not because it had strong skills but because of its fire control awakening.

After the awakening of the fire control, fire-attribute spiritual power between heaven and earth could be mobilized with it. Hence, its attack power would also see a drastic increase.

That anchor was really unlucky. Such a situation was extremely rare and could be considered to occur only once in a blue moon.

Corresponding to the fire control was the control of water, wood, and soil. This was not a skill; a pet should grow to a certain level and have a certain understanding of the laws of elements before it could achieve this.

"Howl?"

Purple Jade crawled over and looked at its owner. What was he talking about?

"Nothing, nothing. It seems that we'll have to train a while more before we look for monsters to fight!" Su Bai shook his head. He should not talk about such things to the cub for the time being since it was not good for its physical and mental growth.

"We're going to have a battle with another spirit this afternoon. Buddy, you have to be prepared."

Chen Rouxue had asked him to have their spirits spar, and since he also wanted to see the results of his pet's training, he had agreed to it.

No matter how good training was, experience in actual combat was still better.

"Howl! <(ˉ^ˉ)>"

The cub looked up confidently.

He swiped his phone and found that Fang Laoba was already on the hot search. Upon seeing this, he wondered if everything had been that anchor's conspiracy.

"Howl~"

The cub reached out its small claws, obviously asking him to let it play with his phone.

"Just play for a while and then go to sleep. We still have a battle this afternoon."

He handed it his phone.

The cub yelped and pushed him aside. Ah Bai was really long-winded.

Shaking his head, he pulled the quilt over his chest and rested.

The cub excitedly turned the phone on and clicked on Piano Tiles.

"Howl~"

In the end, the other player surpassed it by one point yet again. Purple Jade bared its teeth. Can't the other player just give the first place to me?

It took a while before the cub broke the record and faced off with the opponent.

After finishing this, it looked at its owner and saw that he was already asleep. It then quietly opened a browser, and relying on the words Mother Su had taught it, the cub typed with difficulty the four words: 'How to make money'.

Ah Bai was always threatening it with food and mobile games, and the cub had had enough. It had to find a way to make money to buy phones, food, and get rid of its annoying owner.

An hour passed very quickly.

"Howl~ o(≧口≦)o"

The cub lay down in bed, irritated and angry. Why was it so difficult to make money?

It did not know many characters, but the webpages were full of advertisements. After trying for a long time, the cub realized that it was impossible to make money.

(* ̄〈 ̄)

D*mn it. The cub clicked left and right, very angry and dissatisfied.

Forget it. It would wait until it was stronger, then it would steal the prey and sell that so that smelly Ah Bai could not use it anymore.

According to what its owner had told it previously, the cub knew that monsters could be sold for money.

Howl~ I want to become strong quickly, to make money fast, and not to let smelly Ah Bai threaten me!

After making this decision, the cub searched for 'How can wood spirits become stronger' on Baidu and browsed carefully.

First, the basic skills that wood spirit pets could learn were Vine Whip, Parasitic, and Hypnotic Powder…

Second, wood spirit pets should focus on the control of plants so that they could easily use them to recover their health and attack enemies… It should practice more to reach the level of wood control as soon as possible.

Third…

The cub obsessively read the instructions and noted the contents before clearing its browsing history.

Hmph! Ah Bai never would have expected it to learn this technique.

The cub had learned this after watching its owner open the browser to watch videos.

Glancing at its owner who was still sleeping, the cub raised its head and snorted. Hmph! After a while, it would become stronger and then earn money to buy food as well as mobile phones.

After closing the browser, it decided to open Glory of the Dead and play a round to reward itself. It liked the cute hero character inside the game very much.

"Howl?"

The cub was just about to open the game when it accidentally clicked on 'House of the Pet Tamers' app right beside it.

This was an app developed by the Spirit Alliance and contained information about various Pet Tamers. Only officially registered Pet Tamers could log in.

"Howl!╰(*°▽°*)╯"

Looking surprised, the cub then saw a message which almost filled the screen: 'Cannes Trainee Pet Tamer Survival Challenge'. It stated that the champion could obtain a million yuan.

Wow, one million yuan! Although the cub counted its claws and did not understand how much money it was, it still knew that it was a lot, enough for it to buy mobile phones and food.

The cub clicked to sign up without hesitation. It was full of confidence and was determined to win the championship bonus.

After signing up, it retired contentedly and started playing games again.

The cub felt that its owner would definitely praise it once he found out. Ah Bai was really fortunate to have such a smart and cute spirit.
